Is there an absolute invincible build? With mediocre dps even?

No, but you could probably get pretty close by stacking as much spell block as possible with increased skill duration for really long immortal calls.

It uses Kingsguard and Juggernaut's endurance charges to have insane self heal and long rear end Immortal Calls and a bunch of trigger stuff to make Discharge pop off inbetween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSW_YFHvkwI

Haven't played since the ghosts/treasure gimmick league and considering reinstalling since there's an expansion inbound, are trappers still viable? Always done fire/lightning traps but I'd like to give degen a shot if it'll be anywhere close to viable in HC this time around.

I guess with immortal call, gluttony of elements, and CI running at the same time there would be no type of damage that could actually hurt you. If you maxed out on skill duration, keeping them running would mean generating roughly 1/2 an endurance charge and 6 kills per second. Not impossible when clearing through trash but gluttony at least can't be up 100% against any boss that drags on for longer than 16 seconds. IC probably won't be up 100% without that idiotic marauder ascendancy that surely is going to get nerfed. Then you'd fall back to aegis aurora and maxed spell block and a good es pool. Big one hit spells are an issue at that point though. Atziri flameblast or similar is eventually going to crit past your block and that'll be the end. Also I have no idea how you'd manage to do any reasonable amount of damage after spending all that time chasing defenses around the passive tree.

Got tired of D3 and D2, so I'm playing PoE for technically the first time since last I played was only for a few hours and not even through Act 1. As a first plathrough I'm running marauder and not really being too critical about my skill tree. Just finished Act 1, my experience is primarily positive, as I'm using 2H Cleave as my primary attack and oneshotting any non-uniques. Just a few questions overall: I specced into life leech. Some of the trees says it increases my life leech per second. How does life leech work? Is it over time and not instant? What's the difficulty spike I should worry about late game? In Diablo 2 it was getting resistances high and having mixed damage to deal with immunities. What's PoE's equivalent of this wall, if any?

Everything you wanted to know and more about Leech Difficulty bumps: resistances primarily. When you hit Cruel all of your resistances drop by 20%, at Merciless another 40%. Chaos will probably be the one that bites you in the rear end the most since there's very little chaos resistance on the tree (and I'm guessing you're a Duelist, so the chaos resistance nodes are pretty far away to boot) and it's not a super common item mod. In later difficulties the side areas also become much higher in difficulty than the main areas, which could bite you in the rear end if you forget about it.

After having been playing a CI 10k ES bladefall miner for the past few days, I'm going to be reckless and make my first char next league a CI as well. Being able to casually stand around in poison clouds like it's nothing (and it actually is nothing) is so loving nice. Murdered regular queen atziri twice in a row last night so I'm stoked.

life leech is a complex concept in poe due to multiple waves of tweaks for balance purposes leech is not instant. When you hit an enemy with an attack or spell that leeches, you will normally leech 2% of your total hp per second per enemy, for however long as it takes to regenerate the amount that you leeched with that hit, until your life bulb is full again. Then it stops, like hp potions do. This normally stacks up to ten times (ie 20% of your total hp per second - the "maximum leech rate"). So if you hit eleven enemies at once with a single hit, the eleventh hit doesn't add any leech. if you hit more enemies and those existing leeches are still generating, the additional hits don't add any leech. The intention was to limit how much leech endgame players could acquire. in Normal difficulty, you will not normally manage to leech 2% of your total hp per second. Your life is maybe ~500-1000ish, 2% of that is 10-20, many sources of leech only give 0.2-0.4%, you will have to be hitting enemies for ~3k damage per second to reach the cap. So, those mods don't really provide at benefit at this stage - feel free to ignore them. Realistically, by the same reasoning, you're not actually going to be leeching a lot. But as long you keep your life flask sizes up-to-date, you're not going to have a problem, even without any life leech or gain on hit. Also, you're a marauder, you have lots of passive regen in your tree nearby. tl; dr: don't worry about leech, it doesn't do much for you now anyway, just use your flasks Surprise gearchecks: There are no immunities. Players spec for single damage type output, mainly, for efficient stacking of modifiers. don't worry about that. as with D2, getting capped resists is a gear check; game is balanced around 75/75/75/-60, so you eventually need +135 to all elements (the game does not consider chaos an element). this is not difficult. rolls on each item of equipment go up to +48 and you can get three such rolls on a single glove. while levelling through acts, usually players scrounge to meet the cap, then only optimize at level 60+. btw, heads up: in Act 2 Normal you will be offered a permanent choice of +40 to life, +10 to all elements, +60 mana, or a passive point. pick the life or the passive point - you can make up the resistances easily later, much more so than +40 life. the main newbie trap is not getting enough +%increased maximum life from tree. 4% or 5% from tree seems drab and unexciting. in practice you will eventually need about +150-200% increased life, especially as a melee character. ronya fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Aug 26, 2016 |

Im going to be annoyingly pedantic and say that this isnt entirely true. There are a few bosses/uniques that cannot be ignited, which will gently caress over builds that rely entirely on burn.

Wait hold on, you guys didn't point out that there is actually an invincible build? It uses the following setup: 1. Cast on Crit Immortal with a Voll's Protector, Voll's Devotion, and Romira's Banquet with any very high hits/second skill (I've seen things like this done with Spectral Throw, Molten Strike, and Cyclone). This constantly crits, generating power charges and removing them, which turns them into constantly generating endurance charges. 2. If you have 7 endurance charges, the duration of Immortal Call is longer than the cooldown. So with those 2 uniques and enough attacks/sec, Cyclone - Cast on Crit - Immortal Call - Increased Critical Strikes - Blade Vortex should always be casting max charge Immortal Calls on cooldown. For a final link, you could use either Assassin's Mark to improve consistency or some kind of damage skill to actually kill enemies. 3. Wearing a Saffel's Frame and having 60% aura effect + lvl 23 Purity of _____ gives you 87 max resists, 88 with the +max resist nodes. With all the aura nodes on the tree, you can run all the Purities with Empower + Enlighten to get this. 4. Pathfinder can get 30% flask effect if you skip 2 notables, there's 30% on the tree, and 8% from Conqueror's Potency. This gives 68%, which is enough to make a 6% resistance flask give 10 max resist. This puts you at 98% all resist. 5. A corrupted chest and amulet gives +1% max resists, so with both of these you can get up to 100% all resists. Yes, this requires a corrupted 6L Voll's Protector. 6. Going CI means that you are immune to chaos. http://poeurl.com/JMG should be the minimum possible tree to achieve this, and also get enough crit nodes to consistently crit with a Vagan dagger using Cyclone. Surgeon's Flasks keeps your flasks charged, and a Diamond Flask can be used to get that last bit of consistency. Yes, you will instantly die to anything while not cycloning because you have no life or ES, and the build costs like 500 exalts for the chest. But it's theoretically immune to all damage.

Legacy Saffell's has +5% allres instead of +4% so you can skip the corruption on the chest. Doesn't fix the problem of having like 2000 ES and 1 life though. And yeah, it was pretty easy to get 100% resist in a specific element before the Flask changes. RotP had 8, Purity of Fire has always given 4% without scaling up aura effect/level. That puts you at 87%, and pre-nerf elemental resist flasks with Alchemist cluster gave 13%.
