Hey guys, I'm brand new to PoE and I am starting to run into some issues. I have a build I am following however I am confused about how to gear/upgrade my items. I've been saving all my currency so when I hit higher levels I can use them, but my DPS doesn't seem to be increasing at the rate that the monsters difficulty is.

A generous random player gave me a 6 linked bow that I've been using, but my damage doesn't seem to increase that much when I upgrade other parts of equipment.


What are your suggestions for a newer person to gearing their character? I am playing through the acts right now and there's just so much going on I get overwhelmed at times so I stick to the campaign

Oh hi, official poe helper here feel free to pm me dumb questions.

which build?

This is what I ended up choosing. It looked like fun and I like being an archer
