scuz posted:Oooo, that sounds fun. I have cleave for AOE, but I'll try out melee splash and see how I like that. Try Sunder - Melee Phys - Fortify - Concentrated Effect for your aoe skill. As an alternative for lab (or even permanently,) run with the Sunder as your main skill and swap the double strike for a 4 link Warchief. Sunder also let's you hit from further away while your totem fights Izaro, making the fight much safer Some combination of Warchief - Melee Phys/added fire/faster attacks/concentrated effect. Whatever gives you a higher tooltip. If you don't enjoy the playstyle you can go back to what you were doing before once you're done with Lab

The Broletariat posted:Pretty sure it doesn't work like this. Totems can't benefit from offensive auras, only defensive ones (inspirational is an aura). I'm not sure if Inspirational is included in that, because nothing else explains the damage I do or why I do more damage than a Chieftain warchief guy would. If it doesn't apply to totems then Champion gives me 35% increased damage, 40% increased damage, and 58% increased damage. Chieftain would give me 16% enemy increased damage taken, 20% phys added as fire, 20% increased fire and 10% fire penetration. This basically amounts to 26% More Damage + 20% Increased + 5% pen (half my damage is fire, half phys) which should outweigh 135% Increased on a build that already has over 800% increased and no More. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Mar 27, 2017 |

It should be titled "Person who never plays video games but says they do playing poe". Your average gamer will at least know to equip a weapon. Might as well have put donald trump in front of the video game he would perform the same and you can't call him an average gamer. And I'm surprised projectpt has a friend. I have no idea who project PTAs, because I started playing after he quit, but after watching the video I am also surprised that he has a friend.

Assuming you haven't changed anything in your build since yesterday when you made your initial post, I plugged in your build into PoB:  Notice that Inspirational is only listed once. If I were to add another 35% for Inspirational double-dipping with the totem (451% increased), tooltip DPS jumps up to 146405.7 Pretty sure Broletariat is right. vvv Fair enough, but it does do a poo poo load of math so I don't have to and its tooltip DPS is closer to what moss posted without that extra 35% than with it. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Mar 27, 2017 |

I got my LL RF Guardian up to maps, but he's basically going nowhere without a Shav's.  Solaris Lorica lets me run poo poo but my ES is just over 5k, which is neither enough killing power nor durability. I can do low yellow maps and I cut through trash super fast, but it's too slow on bosses.It's an interesting build that gets both killing power and survivability from ES, I just wish Shav's was cheaper. I could probably just run it without reserving life (I'd just lose an extra aura for now), a decent ES chest and a life flask for chaos damage, so maybe I'll try that out for a bit.

Rainbowstride (though I loathe running boots without movespeed and anything with it and good ES gets stupid expensive) and that sapphire ring are probably the biggest offenders and I really need to replace a couple old jewels from leveling.

I have 7.9k ES on my LL RF Guardian with Solaris Lorica and Rise of the Phoenix. Get three of the life to mana conversion jewels and slot them in the travel jewel slots in Scion area that you should have and overlap with hybrid life nodes - each should add about 200 ES to your pool by themselves. Toss in the following gear: Bated Breath or Ascent from Flesh belt Ephemeral Edge sword Shaper's Touch gloves Sin Trek boots Rando 300ish rare ES hat That's what I've been using up through T9 maps while I save up for a Shavs. My lack of stun mitigation is annoying, but I still need my uber lab points for the block/temp stun immunity ascendancy points. Edit: the jewels are the 1alch Healthy Minds; I didnt have the name up when I first wrote this post whydirt fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Mar 27, 2017 |

Especially against guardians and shaper where ignite only lasts 2 seconds, elemental equilibrium isn't likely to proc immediately after your hit. Most of that burn's duration is going to be against 75% fire res rather than -10% unless ball lightning happens to time itself perfectly. If you throw crit or EO in as well, it's even less likely that the stars are going to align.

Essence craft gloves/helmet should be one of your last item stops, imo. They're obviously nice, but as my experience has shown are unnecessary through at least yellow maps. If Shaper's Touch gloves increase your ES pool by 10% over the rare gloves you're only losing 20% damage while also gaining more total HP and defensive regen. Resists shouldn't be a huge challenge to cap as LL RF. Rise plus Purity basically caps fire by itself. While you save up for the gear to run two actual auras on life, run one 35% aura and a mid-level Clarity on blood magic to make sure you're hitting actually low life status to be ignite immune and get the extra fire res. Running at least one other purity (and eventually both) with all the aura effect nodes should make hitting your resists pretty easy. Do you have both of the 8% all-res ES hybrid nodes in Templar and Shadow areas? whydirt fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Mar 27, 2017 |

I wasn't even pathing over to the Shadow one and the Templar one is a few points that I keep looking at and deciding I need elsewhere.Although yeah, I can run Purities, I dumb. Still can only run one aura on life right now, so I'm capped at four auras, and two are Discipline and PoF. I'm technically not even LL yet!

See my edit about Clarity. You don't need the mana regen, but it gives you the extra life regen and phys resist from Guardian and let's you hit actual LL for Rise bonuses. Post your dude profile and I can give more specific advice. If don't have either of those ES/resist clusters, you probably have some points not being used well. whydirt fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Mar 27, 2017 |
