Oodles posted:See if this works https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/_SA_Oodles/characters  I'm not sure what to suggest without currency for level 67 character. You could improve your situation by getting life gear with some armor/evasion, but you ought to rather soon transition into CI proper, so that'd be extra spending - which brings me to point where you should probably just tough it out until you can afford better CI gear - a couple Chaos Orbs for 150+ ES gloves, 200+ ES boots, 350+ ES shield, 300+ ES helmet, and 600+ ES Vaal Regalia each. Sure, there will be extra spending on crafting additional resists, getting rings right, painting/linking sockets, 5Ling chest, buying Valyrium or Eye of Chayula, and so on, but Dried Lake farm should generally give you enough cash for all that jazz. What I can tell you for sure though, your flask setup is fairly bad, and you should fix it. Carry 1, maximum 2 life flasks, a mana flask if you need one, and fill out the rest with utility flasks - at least 1 Quicksilver, then whatever you can cheaply get from these - Basalt, Granite, Jade; maybe Quartz, certainly not Stibnite. You must have on your life/quicksilver/mana flasks the following suffixes (one of each) - of Heat (to remove cold crap) and of Staunching (to remove bleeding). As for prefixes, life flask should be Seething [Divine Life Flask], and mana flask must not be Caustic. Then there's also the question of your passive tree and gems, but I've barely played summoners and have no idea what defenses are sufficient on regular leagues.

I didn't know I was over on lightning and slightly on cold, so that's good to know I could try and balance that out. I also don't think I've done too many of the side quests on cruel/merc so I'll go back over and do them to pick up the extra skill points.

Because this is my second league and I didn't want to do an ancestral warchief again. I didn't know if it's expensive or not. Id rather not have to flip between builds as I'm getting to grips with how this game works. Like I didn't know getting decent gear was cheap (in terms of augmentation/jewlers/alchemy) I was only told this last night.

A followup to the stutter issues I was having: I switched to Predictive mode and it works fine, though I now desync and there's noticeable lag when things happen pretty regularly because of the desync (like I'll see an enemy do a slam attack and then not take damage until half a second later). Still, it makes the game playable. Also confirms that the issue had nothing to do with my own machine and is related to GGG's servers being unable to process the data for that many auras and send it back to me in real time. Could either be my network not being able to download the data fast enough or the servers not being able to handle it, and I highly doubt it's the former. Anyways build is busted. It's a bit annoying that the way Blood Magic works with low life makes it so that using skills counts as damage that disables my ES recharge, but Vaal Clarity gets around that. Not sure it'll be stable for the actual endgame bosses, but I think I can deal with it. I might have to drop Alpha's Howl for a real ES hat though, since I only have 7200 right now.

If I have frame drops when in groups all the time should I be blaming my i5-2500k or my AMD 7950? I’ve dealt with it for years now but it’s super frustrating and I’m hoping to do something about it beyond changing every setting possible.

Click the ? next to my post, I went through a similar rough patch and forums poster Olesh had a lot of great advice to make it work. If you really need minion damage, getting a +2 hat and socketing the 4l in there should help. I'm comfortable in white maps now, but I still kinda hate how active the build is. I get distracted a lot, Vaal Clarity drops, and I have to spend time spinning everything up again. CWC WI got me further than ever last league, but the lack of clear speed from standing still to melt things bugged me. SRS aura is zippy when it's rolling, but I don't think I can push it up into yellow or red maps at this rate.

You really do need to be good at keeping on the move as srs auramancer. I got mine up and running into yellow maps using a Victario's Influence to put hatred/wrath/anger/haste into, since the lvl 30 generosity and 30% reduced reserv help quite a bit. Plus you don't have to worry at all about linking it, since you get the generosity built in...just toss whatever auras that you don't need on yourself into it. Put SRS in a crappy +2 minions helm with like ~250 ES, link it with minion dmg/melee splash/melee dmg. I did go low life using this, and used a Coruscating Elixir to keep from getting destroyed by chaos dmg. Purities help get your resists capped without having to worry too much about your gear, and allow you to use some chaos resist stuff instead. You do have to, once again, be good at keeping the train of destruction rolling and just not stopping to keep flask charges/vaal clarity up, but it really isn't too bad. Just keep hitting the flask every 9 seconds or whatever it ends up being and you should be good to go. I did die occasionally when I would forget to hit my flask and get wrecked by chaos dmg, but I got better at it with practice.

Since RF was mentioned earlier, what are the usual suspects for that skill? Chieftain is the only one I can think of offhand, for the fire damage and regen on endurance charges (at least I THINK that one's Chieftain, can't check right now).

I did Juggernaut back in Prophecy, but my main damage dealer was Discharge, not RF. I ran RF for the damage boost and so I wouldn't be completely useless if I ran into elemental reflect (7k life does jack poo poo when you hit for >100k). Two Kaom's Ways (with 10 Endurance charges) and Vitality put my regen at ~2k/s. For just RF Chieftain is probably the best choice for the reasons you mentioned. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Mar 21, 2017 |

I would recommend against playing life based RF and go Low Life RF if you want to play it. Look at Pohx's videos, he did Shaper 2nd try knowing nothing at all about the Shaper mechanics beforehand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiCUjHotDKU Guardian just fits this build perfectly. To clarify, the reason I wouldn't go life based RF is because the margins on regen are a lot thinner than on low life and your total pool of life is much lower. Prayer of Glory basically makes Guardian sustain RF through -60% regen and through Vulnerability maps just fine, and lets you do things like stand in the Shaper vortexes without taking any damage.

I wouldn't try low-life Righteous Fire unless you really know what you're doing. It's much more expensive than the Chieftan life version.

Chieftain initially seems like the obvious choice for RF but I've almost always ended up liking inquisitor more. Way more versatile, has the mana regen and cast speed to actually cast spells effectively, damage aura is on you instead of your totem, attack speed lets you whirl/charge way faster. As always there's going to be some low life/energy shield build that is better with enough investment, but hopefully 3.0 will rebalance things so that ES isn't stupidly overpowered at high gear levels. edit: that solar flare guide is sorta dubious. SR-CWC-Flame Surge isn't much if at all better than a 3 link scorching ray. that entire build would be cheaper and better all around using orb of storms for EO+EE+curse and dumping xoph's blood/flame surge to focus on SR and RF.
