AFAIK the ideal cheap unique 2H levelling sequence is still Shiversting > Hrimnor's > Geofri's > Rigwald's > Terminus Est

what's changed is that there are now a swarm of decent 1hs to use as well

Since quecholli's dps got boosted a while back it is so much better than geofri's because it swings faster and makes things explode.

Currious, per here: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Quecholli has worse stats than Wideswing.
And it did not match mine (mine has max. Damage 150) I assumed gamepedia shows only base damage and the % still needs to be factored in.

But then I looked at poe.trade and saw Wideswing with less Damage than Quecholli... Confused. Gamepedia has an wrong data entry?
Quecholli can be used from 22 onward, and with 48 I did not find an replacement yet...
So the point is, more of an early weapon item you can use very long.

Hmm...do traps and totems count their own distance for Point Blank, or the player's? That could actually be kind of strong.

The average Wideswing or even Hrimnor's Hymn are going to have more dps than the average Quecholli, but that doesn't take into account the explosions from Quecholli and the +all atributed on it as well.

It's just a3m. Neither Terrace nor Orchard have rain, and the only map with that tileset that has rain is Courtyard at T13, which doesn't have those hedge maze structures.

I finally got rid of geofri's at 62 :rolleye: using earthquake in a 3 link (EQ Less Duration Melee Phys). Even at 62 most trash mobs died to the initial hit + the quake followup. I had 3k life at 62 with bad gear (none on chest, 20-40 on most pieces) so it's not like I was a glass cannon. My resists are horrid though.

So trading and currency (looking at poe.trade).
Should I try to Exchange my (luckily) found Exalted into Chaos Orbs or buy directly with it?

If I want to Exchange exalted into chaos, how the gently caress do I do that? It Looks like I'm only able to buy with Chaos other currency not buy it?
Confused...

I'm very new to this, still going through the normal campaign.

I'm sure I have an awful build, but I've just been focusing on the nodes that add minion stuff, and generally summoning a bunch of zombies and blasting things with an ice pulse spell.

How far will this sort of strategy get me until I have to make a new character to progress? Can I expect to get through the normal campaign? Through Cruel?

Normal is a cakewalk (obviously) and necromancer builds take a while before they really get going. Are you focusing on zombies, spectres, skeletons or raging spirits?

That with Rumi's, the Witch Flask nodes and Rainbowstrides will give you 72% block and 55% spell block. With Occultist and a lot of ES as a CI build you'll be drat near immortal. It's not a bad damage stuff with the generic +1 gems and 80% spell damage, good for non-crit builds especially.

You can get a marohi for like 15 chaos. They definitely are way more expensive this league due to the popularity of earthquake, but you shouldn't shell out an exalt for one. Exalts are like 60+ chaos already
There were a couple good 2h maces in the guild stash last time I checked. Just use that until act 4 merciless and do some dried lake runs for the chaos recipe, and buy a marohi with those.
