So I'm following this guide to a very silly searing bond build, and really my only question is why would the build stack burning damage passives and ignore fire damage passives? The wiki says searing bond deals fire damage, that "is considered burning damage" - does this mean its not considered fire damage as well?

Because he focuses on life and totem nodes. The Holy Fire cluster is +70% damage, while the other nearby fire damage clusters only net 55%/40% increased damage.

More generally, I'm having trouble with Endurance charges. Spamming Enduring Cry just doesn't seem worth it. Is there some trick to getting endurance charges in large numbers that last for a long time, or is it a matter of git gud?

So I bitched about this in gchat already but I'm playing a CI build for the first time (WI) and its really frustrating me. It seems pretty good most of the time but then I'll walk into a pack and randomly die without realizing what happened or an opportunity to react even if I did. I have like 6k ES, respectable damage with LL gem and Warlord's Mark, no stun immunity but a decent amount of recovery. What am I missing? Gchat was telling me to focus more on dodging but I have to get relatively close to get WM to work.

Warlord's Mark is horribly unreliable and if that's your only source of leech you will die.

Also stun immunity would be huge for you if you have to walk into packs.

Has anyone else had some problems loading areas (it just hangs on the loading screen) lately? Beginning of the league, no problem, everything worked like it always worked, except the DirectX11 setting actually made things a hell of a lot smoother. So I was happy. Then today and yesterday, after the first couple transitions between areas, sooner or later I'll click a town, or my hideout, or just the area I was wanting to go to, it'll pop up the loading screen...and that's all I'll see until I have to force close the game.

StashAugustine posted:Yeah Well then you either don't do enough damage to outleech what's hitting you or you need to work on your positioning. Probably a combination of both. Whispering ice is exceptionally good for this as a function of the chilled ground it provides, so pretty much practice positioning. This is quite hard without some form of stun mitigation, however.

Dunno what to tell you either - while admittedly completely unsafe, I was doing WI with 4k ES in low level maps a two days ago. Now at 7.5k ES in red maps. What's your damage per hit? Maybe you're not doing enough damage.

Damage per hit is about 1.6k, about to get Astramentis and another 50 base int in the next two levels, then to get an actually good WI https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/StashAugustine/characters ChristinaVasa

You really really need a 6socket whispering ice before you focus on anything else, so you can use cold2fire gem and avatar of fire instead of pyre.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of cold to fire/AoF vs Pyre? I've seen reccommendations either way but no explanation why

Yeah you are doing way less damage than you should be - getting your WI 6S will do a ton there, which is also defense since VP. It was priority #1 for me, and I think I did it around early A3M. C2F+AOF opens up a ring slot which you can use for various things like resists, more int (perandus), or Valyrium (stun). lurksion fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Dec 8, 2016 |

With the gem and AOF you get another ring slot worth of stats.

Aside from that, pyre takes up a very very precious ring slot - I hate using unique rings for that reason.

So I've never crafted anything before. All of the daggers on poetrade with cast speed and other decent mods are typically 8+ chaos. Should I try to craft my own or should I just plunk down the chaos on one? The daggers aren't in themselves too expensive for me, I would rather just save toward a 6L instead of tossing currency away on something I could conceivably craft for cheaper.

Playing Flameblast Totems so all I really want is cast speed, fire damage and crit. Spell damage is just icing but I can get that elsewhere. But know dick about crafting. I'll probably just buy one here in a day or two.

Is there a good reason not to just use two cheap wands? I picked up a couple wands for a chaos each with 19 cast speed and 50 spell damage, appears to be blowing stuff up pretty good. But I also don't know what I am doing. Also, how would Apep's work? that is all the cast speed, plus some chaos damage, and totem is cheap so the extra casting cost shouldn't matter.
