I'm running a Slayer oroflicker this league and it's pretty amazing, a pretty big upgrade from my Chieftan oroflicker from Talisman. I did 2h sunder until I got to 67 and switched to oro, a 4L 750edps one for 5c. Got the fireborn jewel at 71 for 15c and that's the build requirements. My goal this week is a 760edps 5L so I can put Fortify on flicker instead of leap slam.

I swap out dual strike for the rare situations that I can't sustain flicker strike, like 60% status avoidance maps with enfeeble for the boss fight. I haven't tried it yet, but dual strike should do Atziri just fine.

Super jelly. I was barely able to find a 4link ~720 dps oro for ~4c and Fireborn haven't been below ~29c all day. Yesterday they were 25. I have 15c to my name and I'd buy one in an instant if I saw one.


Looking for some suggestions for gearing. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/duncandun/characters was thinking of getting some cheap uniques to help fill out my dps/defenses. right now my flicker dps is topping around ~6k with ele overload up at .15 APS. It's a little weak, esp on bosses. I find even if I can sustain frenzy charges from ignites the damage is just rough. Esp on something like izaro. I'm just getting one shot atm by him with fort, iron flask and endo charges up.

maps are generally fine though, flying through them literally. it's great. up to ~t7 atm.

also any suggestions for the skill tree please hit me with them. I'm using Neversinks guide mostly and that dude is loaded and constantly talking about how headhunters really elevates the build and I'm having trouble getting a fireborn so I'm thinking there are probably some inefficiencies in the pathing that I could re-do and get some more damage/life out of it.

Does anyone know what causes the stand-alone game to fail when patching with the following error:

quote:

Error: Failed writing received data to disk/application while downloading http://patch806.pathofexile.com:8905/patch/2.4.0.10/PackCheck.exe
It feels like some kind of file permission problem. I've had it on and off ever since I've been playing the game and it's really loving annoying. None of the files are read-only, the permissions in the folder are all legit, and I'm logged on as an administrator. Yet it's refusing to write the downloaded data to the folder.

how is it? crit or noncrit? any temp chains blasphemy aura?
I respecced my EA Chieftain over to it, which took maybe 12 respec points? Builds were surprisingly similar, I just had to pull a few things from poo poo like accuracy over to totem nodes. That said, my gear is incredibly wrong for the build. Not really specced for crit at all. Blood Magic, not using Blasphemy right now. Will need to work out a better curse setup - I'll probably have it in a CoH setup with some cold or lightning damage for EE as well.

I only played with it for a few minutes, but the totems will always cast full charge Flameblasts now. This is kind of annoying for a few reasons - they only have one setting, and that's Overkill; the clearspeed is kinda bad because there's a delay between summoning a totem and any damage; and while you can force it to go off early by summoning another totem to replace the casting one, it's a bit clunky. You will almost certainly want a Flame Totem or something else for quick clear backup.

I'll run with it for a while more tonight and see how it feels. More than likely I'll end up switching over to Firestorm totems or just plain old Flame Totem. It's interesting, though.

trying to price out that ring. Not much experience selling.
+16% to Fire and Lightning Resistances IMP
8% increased Fire Damage S1
+73 to maximum Life Tier 1 prefix: Virile, min=[70] max=[79]
+26 to maximum Energy Shield P5
+40% to Cold Resistance S3
+27% to Chaos Resistance S2
Suffix Open


Similar 23c(worse), 25c (worse), 30c (worse), 35c (maybe better because it's diamond), & 1ex (actually worse than mine Im p sure). Obv don't want to undersell, but I still want to sell it. I have it at 30c right now. I know this isn't a price check forum, but I trust ya'll more than anyone.

I guess it comes down to how much would I pay for it? I guess if I was a fire witch who need quad resists and life I'd pay 30c for it. But would I pay 40? I have almost no experience paying a lot for items so I don't know.

That's an open prefix, not an open suffix which significantly changes the value imo

MacDeuce
Oct 23, 2010
First of all it's an open prefix, and the fire damage roll is very low, and most casters will be looking for diamond rings. Since rings are a great slot for adding DPS, I don't think that ring is worth anywhere close to 30c. Maybe 10c to the right person.

I had a nice lucky streak. Found a blue evasion 5l for 1c listed for 2 minutes, scoured it, used the best +life essence I had and it rolled +life, +eva/%eva, +80 res total.

It helped a little on dps, but Deerstalker was giving me a fake-5L for bladefall traps. Now I need new boots or some bonus trap skill.

How is that insane? Six links are rare and for the most luxury items, and 5Ls are dirtass cheap and super accessible. I remember selling a poo poo ilvl 6L white golden plate or something for several ex not that long ago. Cards really made them more accessible to everyone, they used to be several times that price.

I hadn't played a new league before Essence in the last year, but that is actually a cheap price for a white 6L within the first week of a new league. Unless div cards have completely changed the price of 6Ls I'd say that's actually much cheaper than they used to be.

A 6L is a total luxury for just about every build that isn't pre 2.4 CoC. And most of your high end builds are CI. A few ex for a crafting base is pretty reasonable all things considered.

I'm tempted to buy roughly 60 silver coins and run prophecies until I get a jewelers touch. I'm reasonably certain that I'll come out ahead vs paying 50c for the prophecy.

I ran A LOT of prophecies during the league. Most of my income that wasn't from selling a doctor card was from selling the results of prophecies. I've had absolutely poo poo drop rates for coins since I started mapping, and it makes me sad. I think this is a better idea and a more fun use of my time.

I do unless it's an incredibly lovely one. Prophecies were/might still be up to 7 coins to seal, which is anywhere from 1-2c. It's usually faster to just run it and clear it.

I would seal most unique upgrades and the ones that are like 'an undying alchemist will drop an alchemy orb'. gently caress you game, I'm not doing six resets of the sewers for that.

So apparently the new Crypt boss goes berserk and constantly shoots purple novas that do like 5000 damage when he's cursed. I did the fight with a char that just used curse on hit Herald of Ice for power charges and had no problem. His other attacks is just a big choreographed slam, the normal melee attack, and random Blasphemies that he walks around with.

I love GGG so much for putting this mechanic in the game.

One of the more popular builds for them is Ancestral Warchief totems, they're pretty kickass. Essence also includes some ways to get a ton of flat phys on gear, making them even easier to get to super killdude levels.

Pretty hard finding something comparable unless you try every combination of triple damage resists.
