That would be great. I'll put it up for that. I can still lower it in a few days if there are no takers.

Why might my item filter be highlighting all rarities Zealot Helmet especially? Also it is highlighting all the white belts too..?

Should I keep all the hammers to turn them into chisels, or only quality ones?

May Arcsorcs please have an invite to guild? :shobon:

So, I've been interested in diving headfirst into this game for a long time now. I've been doing research on my first character build and am trying to sort out all the details.

I've decided on the sharp shooter branch of the 2.4 version of Neversink's Tornado Shot archer. I'm trying to figure out exactly how I should weight stats on items as I'm leveling up. Currently, I jumped in and got to level 50 relatively quickly just running the main storyline. Just got to cruel mode and hit a wall at the new labyrinth. I have 1.6k HP, which I feel is really low (the labyrinth boss one shots me with any attack, even ignoring buffs he gets from the environment that I try to deal with)? Anyone got suggestions on how to amp up my health without gimping my elemental resists? I've taken a ton of health buffs in my passive skill tree.

Thanks in advance for any advice for a new player.

(Currently in the new essence league, Stadard mode)

(I've also taken the OP advice of not spending any of my currency until I know what it's worth / how to use it. I'm getting a feel for it, but I haven't done any trading yet. Just been running around killing stuff until I hit a wall, which happens to be at cruel difficulty Labyrinth)

I am similar story with elementalist witch. I have 1.9k health and 622 shield and managed to survive the individual attacks just barely, so something like that might be your goal. I still died though for lovely dodging. Gonna come back to it after some more levels.

Prophecy is now in the base game, essence league adds essences which are basically alch orbs that have a guaranteed mod included depending on which essence it is, and the atlas of worlds fleshes out the mapping game. Game is cool and good and you should try it.

How did selling the prophecy work? You mean sealing it and selling it? Or something else?

I stumbled upon this guy's stream couple days ago. Definitely made me tempted to try it. (Or whenever my friends get tired of the new WoW expansion, anyway.)

How mana-intensive are totem builds? If there's one thing I can't stand, it's having to chug mana pots just so I can press buttons.

How would flameblast work with traps/mines? Does flameblast even work with traps/mines at all? (Traps/mines are mana-intensive though, right?)

Any channeling skill doesn't work with traps/mines since they do "cast once then die", whereas totems do "cast until death" (or in FB's case, "cast until at max charges, stop, then repeat until death").

Of course. There's no other way to sell a prophecy.

Running prophecies is insanely profitable right now. Out of about 40 coins, I got 2 Jeweller's Touch prophecies (39-41c each), a prophecy that got me a near perfect Astramentis (1.5ex) and a Monstrous Treasure I haven't sold yet but seems to fetch about 20c at the moment.

Theoretically possible if you're patient. Lazy trading is just use poe.trade to find gear upgrades and maybe trade some currency.

EQ is still great after the nerf. Still possibly the best easy lab runner if you go juggernaut. Cyclone is solid. Oro Flicker seems to be a bit fotm right now, but it's a very different playstyle from normal melee.

BV is probably a more similar playstyle to normal melee than oro flicker, so maybe that's a consideration too?

selffound works now better than ever, thanks to essences

well you might run into dps troubles as a phys weapon build, but as the league goes on the gstash fills with worthless - but endgame viable - rares (and sometimes even uniques)

Just to make sure I'm not an idiot. The physical damage on rings/amulet/quiver are also added as each element from Doomfletch's Prism, right?

It certainly feels like it is, because the damage is like nothing I've ever seen with such mediocre equipment. Tooltip dps of roughly 10k TS annihilates everything, including me with 29k eva (double flasked + grace) and 40% dodge and arrow dancing on reflect rares.

I'm actually starting to question whether I actually want a Slivertongue.

Having a specific item be a requirement for a generic vendor recipe seems dumb.
I just finished Act 3 (for the first time) and I haven't had a single Bone Spirit Shield drop and as far as I know, that's the one spirit shield that can be used for Heal Minions Flask recipe.

For the reflect?

I'm not sure why you just quoted that part. I scale the poo poo out of physical and projectile, it should all end up scaled and then added as elemental?

It did help a little bit going from a 1k evasion chest to a 1.5k. I'm thinking Kintsugi might actually make sense for me, I even have the prophecy chain - if only I could trigger the spawn. The other options I see are Daresso's Defiance, Vaal Pact (I hate having it tho), Atziri's Acuity and dropping the physical bow nodes on the right side and travel to Scion life.

Are you using an itemfilter? It might be filtered out. You could try looking at the a2 and a3 weapon merchants every time you level as well.

I'm using the NeverSink's filter but I think it's supposed to show the vendor recipe gear?
I did manage to get two of those from the A2 vendor, so it's alright I suppose.

Is there any way I can "reroll" vendor stock maybe?
