Contagion/Essence Drain Occultist Witch is pretty fun. It's a little weak until 12, but that's hardly that long to wait. It helps to have dual life sprig of course but you can manage without. They're also pretty cheap usually.

Here is my Blade Vortex necro. It's tankier then the incinerate cybil paw scion I did during warbands, course that might have to do with the increased access to uniques and finally seeing a raths. Can handle Atziri and just ran a T12 village ruins and handled the bosses without any chaos resist, the gameplay is similar to righteous fire, except you need to wind up first. Main weakness is anything that can 1 shot me before bone offering goes up, usually because of the game freezing up for a second on a big attack and another problem is zealot's oath cutting the life regen which is problematic in the labyrinth, you can't mess up too much on the traps without life regen or you'll run out of potions, but aside from that with 3000ish energy shield and multiple ways to regenerate I'm rather hard to kill if I just don't let the energy shield dip to 0 on the hard hitters. For my next character think I'll make a chaos damage dealer after making a spell/dot/chaos jewel, trying to decide between chaos spark, chaos ice trap, or essence drain. Whichever can speedrun the fastest without dying. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Mar 28, 2016 |

StashAugustine posted:Well I was looking for something that a) doesn't need uniques and b) at least vaugely resembles what you want to play at endgame. Ice trap does look fun though, thanks. I used fire trap in a +1 fire gems wand that I got using the vendor recipe. I also used firestorm + mine + mine field. You can get that pretty early and will mow through absolutely anything, with the only cost being that you have to deal with mines. I mostly used to demolish bosses and rares. I also used lightning trap once I had the option. Until I could use cluster trap, I used multi trap with all but one of my traps. That leaves one trap available that you can target more precisely and throw into cages and such. And once you finally have ice trap and cluster traps you can start to play with your end game skills. It's probably not as fast as leveling flame totem, but it worked reasonably well. Ice trap is really fun.

Question about Vaal Molten shell, when it says triggers when hit, does that count getting hit and blocking the attack, or do you need to take damage? thinking of trying it with 80% increased duration nodes, but might not be that great without a focus on elemental damage and should probably just use vaal haste.

Close, but not exactly. 25+35+9+2=71 34+71*.54 = 72.34 I didn't take any shield block nodes on the tree and just ran Rathpith/Rumi's. It's not as nice as having 75/75 without flask, but I didn't want to travel that far on the tree.

Could I perhaps get invited back to the guild? I'm playing as VigilantSplash right now. A Vigilant strike melee splash/endurance charge on melee stun juggernaut is working way better than I would have expected. Might be I should have gone with a champion instead, but at least it works.

Firestorm Trap is cool and good, and available super early. Firestorm + Trap + added cold or lightning in a 3 link +1 fire skills scepter will get you to 30+ easy. Alternatively, buy a Fencoil for literally 1 alt and use that.

Mortimer posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1510181 I've been using this on my second real character (Vornalg) and compared to the blundering experiment that was my first my power just feels staggering. I beat Cruel Malachai without even breaking a sweat (Cruel Labyrinth was a bit tricky but done roughly at level) whereas on my first character I had to suicide ~10 times into him to do enough damage. The damage is outrageous, It's easy to dodge AoE spam while still killing things, and I feel like I've learned a fair amount about totems and skill gem setups. Related, I found an exalted orb on this character, and it makes up a huuuuuge portion of my wealth. Given that they're going for ~75c a piece right now, would now be a good time to convert it so I can buy gear in smaller orbs when I hit maps or are they likely to continue raising in value in perandus?

Ran Maelstrom of Chaos last night, Zana picked it as her daily mission map. When I killed Merevil, she dropped my first Ventor's Gamble. It rolled horribly. This is my best memory, but nothing was good but the implicit. 15% increased Rarity of Items found ---- +10 maximum life 10% Reduced Quantity of Items found 25% Reduced Rarity of Items Found -5% to Fire Resistance -10% Lightning Resistance 0 Cold Resistance. For lulz, i hit it with a single Divine Orb. It couldn't get worse, right?  I tried to celebrate in general chat, but after linking it i got spammed with so many whispers wanting to buy it or cursing me out, that my client crashed.

The damage is outrageous, It's easy to dodge AoE spam while still killing things, and I feel like I've learned a fair amount about totems and skill gem setups. First, nice. Cruel lab is where you get a lot of your power, merc lab is just gravy (much like other builds) Second, yeah break it up to chaos. Not in order of important for you I'd get: -a 5link hybrid ES/armor or evasion (I'm not even joking, getting the 5link to put rapid decay on your totems is a massive dps increase, almost as important as cruel lab). Here's a good search set for you http://poe.trade/search/itobutudonautu -Doedra's damning helm (+curses and really easy to get the right colors, people sell 4 linked ones for 1-2 chaos) -Doedra's damning ring (sub 1c, allows you to actually put all your curses on enemies) -Doryani's scepter, this would be the last thing your build needs. Don't even worry about it till maps but once you get these you have the same build as me, except I run an MF set in t12 maps because rf totems is loving busted and you can steamroll anything https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/mortimermcmire/characters Mystery Prize posted:That ring is worth like 13-14 ex, I'd bet. close, like 4-5 but still nice ring mbt fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Is it worth me looking to go to 4 curse on my RF totem char? I'd need a 6L weapon, but a curse on hit setup with my OOL (to trigger crits) and Deodre's Helm seemed like it could be really good. Plus no Blasphemy means I get actual auras too.

Run three in a Heretic's Veil with Enlighten and four in a CoH setup. Malediction gives you 28% extra damage as chaos  You could also still have room for a few offensive skills, or a couple more auras if you wanted to be full supportbot. This actually sounds hilarious. ...and would still be completely useless on hexproof maps

What 6L weapon would you even use? Also how are you getting around the mana reservation I'd just blood magic vulnerability in and cast it manually in the 0.5 seconds before things die e: I posted my MF setup above, I am running tabula in t12 maps and only dying because I didn't pay attention to storm heralds and the like you don't really need more survivability when the whole build IS survivability.

I have room for a 4 link on my blade vortex assassin that I'm not sure what to do with. I already have a cwdt setup, whirling blades, curses, auras and vaal skills. I was thinking a wither totem since I have the 15% extra chaos from phys damage nodes and I run an atziri flask, but I'm not sure how much I'd actually use it.
