Mercrom posted:Crit earthquake with Abyssus is the worst case scenario for physical reflect but it can still be managed better than elemental reflect. I have 40k armor which is a 40% reduction against a 6k hit/reflection. With 8 endurance charges that becomes 72%. With a basalt flask it is capped at 90%. As a bonus I use a Rumi's which means I have almost 60k armor and a 48% chance to block my own attacks.

Infinite Monkeys posted:That's an enormous investment in phys mitigation though, compared to capping fire res at 75% which everybody does, and it's still only over 84% with a flask up (there are ele resist flasks too). In the vast majority of cases phys reflect is more of a problem for phys damage builds with auras and Abyssus than elemental reflect is. This is all a moot point for dex builds who use CWDT Immortal call anyway.

edit: apparently people have already done this to great results and I'm not original at all! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1629964/page/1 thanks to bro GGG for protecting scammers Had a good idea for a scam last night. Might get you delisted from poe.trade if people report you but just make a new account for this lmao step 1: get a lot of coins, like 30k worth step 2: sell a ton of coins and make sure you say that it's in bulk only any retardo that wants to buy 5000+ coins probably just found a shavs/volls/headhunter/mirror so what you're going to do is step 3: invite him and when he goes to your hideout, head to his instead and run into his map. cadiro is probably right there step 4: buy the item step 5 (optional) whisper the item to him and say "lol" a lot afterwards step 6: give some chaos to me for giving you this great plan edit: pro tip if now you're paranoid, put your map device in one of the side rooms or surround it by bookcases. Either way just put bookcases from elereon to block off access if you don't want people stealing your cadiros

Whoever buys it will want to try and get +3 fire on it, which involves a white staff, catarina's crafting bench, and lots of transmutes, regals, and scours. The low makes it more attractive to anyone who wants to craft it.

Would anyone be willing to give me some idea how to fix my first character? I didn't really follow a build guide or anything, and my friend wants me to run maps with him, but I think I need to overhaul my passive tree if possible. I think I have 6 skill points I can spend and ~11 respec points? Something like that, I can't tell through the website. Can anyone take a look at my skill tree and just let me know how I could make it somewhat viable, if it's even possible? I'm at the end of Cruel right now--think I still need to do the second dream dungeon and then the final boss. The character is IronQueenDecember-- https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/a_strange_aeon I just sort of tried to get all the Minion nodes, which in hindsight was pretty dumb. I don't really want to spend any Orbs of Regret on my first character, so if the 6 skill points and ~11 respec points aren't enough to make a difference, I'll probably just work on leveling up my lower level character.

bakka bakka posted:You should not be using Cyclone with a Marohi Erqi. Movement and attack speed are large parts of its DPS, Marohi fucks both of them. If you're going to stick with Cyclone, use Hezmana's bloodlust. Your gear is in desperate need of an upgrade. Your belt, left ring, amulet, and armor are hot garbage. 30 chaos should be enough to get some basic mapping gear. I'd also suggest dropping some of those jewel sockets for damage nodes that are much more efficient. Thanks! Love advice like this. Replaced the belt, got a Hezmana that I managed to 5l for a couple chaos, and my tooltip DPS is up to 27k from 15k. Earthquake was fun to mess around with, but cyclone's just so easy to zone out with. It's weird, earlier characters always had something more obviously wrong earlier. This one made it to capped resists, maps-ish dps, and decent mitigation. I was sailing through T1~3, higher ones were just a slog. I still have Too Much currency and Hot Garbage in a couple slots, but a much better idea of where to go. Cheers!

This isn't 100% correct, if you're not in your hideout the portals can disappear eventually. It's a bit random though, sometimes they will stick around for hours. If you sit in the hideout they will stay though.

Even in the laboratory maps last longer than regular instances. The best way to farm tempests was to open 8-10 maps at the time then just switch over once one was cleared. You could even keep them open after the tempest changed.

Datamined Illusory Warp appears to be an instant teleport that creates shilled ground, shorter cast time than Flame Dash and I'd personally guess the range will be equal to Lightning Warp. http://poedb.tw/us/gem.php?n=Illusory%20Warp The datamined cooldown is horrendous though, 8 seconds. If it isn't changed and there's no way to bypass it, the amulet is gonna be worse than any amulet with a life roll on it

The main utility of curse radius is that it effects blasphemy radius. A dedicated support character will probably be fine casting a curse twice, or be using a spell or attack that does multiple curses on hit where curse radius doesn't come up.Safari Disco Lion posted:Even then I don't see how it'd be good.

boxes can also silence, and there's a ghost (seditionist) that gives everything it touches a 4 second silence on hit that is absolutely loving miserable if you don't have a decent duration curse immunity flask.

A Strange Aeon posted:Would anyone be willing to give me some idea how to fix my first character? Pretty much everyone fucks up their first character. I have no idea what you want to do with your character, so I can't really help you. I'd suggest following a guild for your first few characters, it sucks getting to endgame and finding out your build is gimped. Check LiftingNerdBro's youtube, it has some simple strong simple builds for this league, look for Ascendancy. This website scrapes the PoE forums and has an easily filterable list of builds. If you want to build your own character it's a good idea to decide on a few things before you start putting any points on the skill tree: 1. Are you going to go life, CI (Chaos Inoculation, a keystone on the passive tree, means you scale energy shield instead of life) or hybrid ES/Life? 2. How are you going to mitigate damage done to you, and damage reflected back to you? 3. What skill do you want to use? How do you scale the damage of that skill? Build the character out to 90 and ask some people who know what they are doing if it is going to be crap. E: ZiggyD has some videos going up on how to gear out a character for cheap, they are useful. Look for 10 Chaos Budget Gear Set. Haerc fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Mar 25, 2016 |

Thanks for the response--I'm just not an optimal player or whatever, so it's going to take me a while to get a character high enough level to do maps with my friend, if I can't salvage the witch. I have been following a Lifting Nerd Bro video for one build, but it's only in the teens. It seems like it's really hard to respec into something decent, even with a decent number of respec points and unspent passives. As for what I want to do with the witch, I don't particularly care. I just want to be able to play with my friend if possible, which means getting through Merciless. I found a Raise Zombie gem early on and thought it sounded cool, so I just built towards all the minion nodes mostly. I primarily use a Frost Pulse spell--it does ~5000 DPS, but I don't know if that's even good for where I'm at in the game--Act 4 Cruel.

A Strange Aeon posted:Would anyone be willing to give me some idea how to fix my first character? This is totally salvagable as a plain old zombie/spectre minion build if you're interested. The only thing "wrong" with your tree are all the elemental nodes, but you have enough points to refund them, and it turns out most people build summoners this way anyway. You level with a few offensive nodes + the usual HP and/or ES, then spec out of the damage and into more minion nodes once you get to the Solaris Temple in Merciless. With what you have, I think you could slog your way to this point, then respec into a real summoner passive tree. I'm running a build with 10 zombies and 5 spectres (max from tree + Bones of Ullr boots + Midnight Bargain wand + 5L Vis Mortis) and here is what my tree looks like at 83: https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscr...h731_k3-oD60v5J I like to run 3 auras and use Curse on Hit with Ball Lightning + Enfeeble + Flammability, since I use Flame Sentinels from Solaris Temple (Eternal Lab). I'm running T8 maps easily and could certainly do higher once they actually drop. Summoner is a lot of fun once you figure out the positioning, directing your minions, and get a set of utility skills you like. Read over the last few pages of the thread for summoner advice - there were some really informative posts on how to do summoner. I usually run the zombie/spectre combo so someone else will have to chime in as to whether this tree is viable for doing an SRS build or something. edit: here's a link to my profile, should be public https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/PleaseBeCareful/characters Phayray fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Mar 25, 2016 |

Your first character is going to suck. Heck, I followed a guide for my first character and it still sucked because (a) I didn't know how to pick a good beginner-friendly build, but more importantly, (b) my gear was poo poo because I didn't know what stats I should have been looking for, or how to prioritize my stats for my particular build. Your second character is going to suck, but it will suck a lot less. Your third will still suck, but it will suck even less. I still suck, but I've been learning with each character. That to me is the appeal to this game -- learning something new each time. I've been trying different builds to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each, and slowly learning the hows and whys of making builds. I still hadn't made a character that could clear higher maps, much less kill Atziri. And that's ok, because I'm getting closer each time. Which is to say, all in due time. You'll get there. But in the meantime, enjoy the ride.

Regret orbs are about 1:1 chaos, but even with that you can get even a completely broken build to something usable with just a handful of regrets. you are closest to this build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1623489 (look at the 83 point build tree) check the skill tree in there for tips on gear, gems, etc. I'd use some respec points to take out frost walker/firewalker, Light of Divinity, and elementalist. Use those points to head down from melding to connect with the nodes near Death Attunement. Once you have connected to those points down there, you can unspec the remaining 3 points (Occultists Dominion, the strength node, and the int node). Also unspec Minion Instability, then you should also have a ton of extra points to put in other stuff.

Mortimer posted:this may sound nuts but respecs are really easy now with act 4. Not necessarily directed at you, but I see this build takes EE - has anyone shown that this is actually a good idea? It seems OK when you think about applying EE with Ball Lightning, but in my experience I've found non-EE damage to be higher because the spectres cast way faster than I do, and there's 5 of them. They're only doing fire damage, so it's 100% on my Ball Lightning applying EE, which for most packs only goes through once, if my minions don't kill it first. Even if I apply EE once, if it takes more than 1 hit to kill the thing, then all of the subsequent shots by my spectres do reduced damage.
