A quick thought experiment for why resistances/block is better with every % is thinking of the difference between 0% to 1% and 99% to 100%.

StashAugustine posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/StashAugustine/characters Lose the Rainbowstrides for a well crafted pair of Sorcerer Boots with int and resists. An essence crafted Crystal Belt with int/flat es/resists is probably best in slot for you. No idea what those are going for but an OK one should be within your price range.

JawnV6 posted:Jealous of the ES on that tree, mine seems to spend stupid amounts of time on travel nodes. I'm running an extra curse with the Doedre ring, LL is held at a low level since I'm not sure where my strength will end up once I've got another Brute Force. Last night I was tanking Carnage hits and LL kept up, but he was also melting before a second hit landed. Yeah, I was originally going to go the tri-curse build but thought the SR one to be more interactive. With all the uniques used, resistances are the only things limiting me right now. If you're able to, an astramentis may help a lot with the strength issue. Finding a high tier amulet with strength and int rolls is also a good alternative with the benefit of additional res, ES or whatever else you need.

StashAugustine posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/StashAugustine/characters Ive become a fan of stibnite flasks, since you spend good amount of time not-moving due to channeling, why not not-move inside a smoke cloud that makes you harder to hit? Your helmet needs some love too, 300ES hubris are to be had under 10 chaos. crystal belts were 14c for the base when i looked for them a week ago, so maybe 10c/base now and then craft a bit. How important is the astramentis for your gems? Chayulas makes you stun immune and i cant tell you how much of a QoL that was for me.

please knock Mom! posted:you can get 90 int on a rare neck and have actual stats tbh astramentis is pretty much only for builds that not only want a single stat but also have wacky stat requirements in other areas, IE: howa because you're converted most of your str/dex to int and without astramentis you're bone zoned

Are the resist nodes on the passive tree (two I can think of, one left of Marauder start and 3 or 4 nodes below Scion start) generally only worth taking for gear slot constrained builds like (to make up examples here) Pyre/Southbound and Facebreakers? I'm getting a little tired of playing the resist balancing game while trying to upgrade rares, even on my warchief chieftain which isn't slot-constrained. (ed) Speaking of upgrades, if anyone feels like commenting on upgrades while I'm at work and can't search poe.trade or poeaffix.net, feel free (CiaphasSA_Cohen again). I think I need gloves with aspd, a ring with aspd, and a rustic sash. I also think I want to use a couple regrets to trade life for more of those axe nodes on the far left of the tree; I'm at 6k life as is. (ed) Seems most of my armour isn't quality 20 either, doh.

Yeah they can be useful for that. Another good place to get them is jewel slots since you can get resists + a little damage too.

I'm probably going to have a second go at Shaper tonight, actually, this time on my warchief, and that picture raises a question: where is the safe zone on the ground? I'm bad at perspective. (ed) Like, if things are getting desperate, can I let a pool go in the entire top half of the red circle and be okay, just the top quarter, or ??

I'm getting a little tired of playing the resist balancing game while trying to upgrade rares, even on my warchief chieftain which isn't slot-constrained. Clearly the belt is a problem. You can probably get a rustic sash to replace that one for <5 chaos, with t2 resists and more life. That opens up the gloves for whatever you happen to want to put on them Boots, similarly, you could probably boost your resists from the slot while keeping similar life and 20+% movement speed. One more easy thing you can do is to drop one of your 5% life nodes for the adjacent 8% life node near your Ancestral Bond wheel. I don't know enough about how totems function to offer any specific suggestions on that front, though.

Thanks for the feedback! Would be nice if you could search affixes on poe.trade by tier rather than having to look up the absolute numbers on exilemods or poeaffix. Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jan 5, 2017 |

The puddles come from the orbs, which you can trigger by running over them and they explode after a short pause. If you don't have insane dps you need to kite the orbs around to the edge of the stage and explode them there. If you drop puddles in the center like that picture you are likely hosed unless you can out regen them.

I'm chasing a Presence of chaylua, with United in Dream next. At 7500 ES now, with a little bit of armour and evasion. If you're in need of dps, grab Elemental Equilib and arc stuff.

http://poeurl.com/LRu Could use some ideas on utility gem links for my bf raider howa (Aesolfr). Currently I have: Chest: Blade Flurry + supports 3l: Whirling Blades, Fortify, Faster Attacks 4: CWDT - IC - Increased Duration - Vaal Disc But after that I'm a little up in the air. I don't know what's really optimal, so I've also got: 4l: Discipline, Wrath, Enlighten, Flame Dash (why not) 3l: CWDT(high), Vortex, Summon Lightning Golem 4l: CWDT (low), ball lightning, curse on hit, conductivity I feel like there's probably more or better uses of my slots but idk what else I could do/use. e: also any suggestions to passive tree are welcome as well gearwise i'm saving up for a 6l chest before i upgrade anything else but if there any glaring problems definitely let me know Jinnigan fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jan 6, 2017 |

So I mindlessly enchanted my fingerless silk gloves when running a friend through lab. Any way to revert the loss of my 15% increased spell damage implicit? If not I definitely learned a lesson paying attention.

The 3.0.0 expansion doesn't come out immediately at the end of Breach. We're keeping the release date fluid currently, but the plan is to run another league when Breach ends. Atlas league was released September 2nd. I'm guessing "another league" means a flashback league or something similar, not a full three month league. A full three month league would take too much effort to develop when they need all their spare time finishing off 3.0.
