I'm really getting my rear end kicked in early act 10. I've got maxed res, 2.6k life, 1.6k ES, and the highest DPS bow listed for 10 chaos or less on poe.trade.

My damage feels really low, and I get chunked for over 50% health by any mob hit. Is it my gem links, my gear? What am I doing wrong?

Are you just using two siege ballistas with no multiproj as your clearing skill? I feel like that must take ages to clear packs. If that's not just your single target setup that I'm seeing, try slotting greater multiple projectiles in that green spot, and see how that feels.

I'm looking at 3-link brightbeaks on the trade thing, and I was wondering if low ilvl really mattered next to like the dps et al?

Unless you literally have no currency, 3L'ing something takes almost nothing. Hell, a level 3 Vorici can do it for 3J/3F. ilvl won't be a problem as Vorici can override that restriction plus that weapon is level 20 minimum, 3S requires an ilvl of...2.

If it's going to be your offhand stat stick, then DPS doesn't matter. Go for the highest resistances.

Right, I get that part--I'm just wanting to double check whether there's some factor I haven't encountered yet, like master enchants or some other mechanic, before I buy the low-ilvl one for 3 chaos instead of a higher ilvl one for 5.

I'd probably be less confused if I knew why some of the numbers in the item stats on poe.trade were green, but alas, I don't see an explanation of what that means readily handy.

I can vouch for this build. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/damfan/characters

You can go life based until you get a 6l shavs. I'm currently sitting at 4.4k es on my MF/group gear and 5.2k on my solo gear. As you can see most of my gear sucks.

I think the build is pretty flexible. You don't have as many auras as others but you will be running cull and MF when supporting which helps in its own way.

If you want a full support build check out https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1840451 I'm not a fan of this one due to coruscating elixir.

Get the low level one

Green numbers are the stats if the item was at 20% quality

I doubt we're getting a low level shavs any time soon

Any way to combine the two and use victarios over shave? Probably not since then your srs do nothing

Act nine just felt like going through half a dozen wide open maps hoping to hit a random quest object while pushing forward for ages with a lot of probably missing dialogue.

Act ten was just the middle part of act 5 and then a 2 map tunnel towards the final boss.

If you want to do that you would most likely need a +3 bow which would be more expensive than the shavs option.

My older aurabot TauraDaura was full support but that gear would be much more expensive than the current one.

How exactly do they scale? Which stat feeds directly into them?

I have Rain of Splinters so get +2 projectiles in exchange for 30-50% reduced (NOT less) damage. It's great.

I will eventually keep buying and corrupting Skirmish quivers (they're dirt cheap) until I get +1 arrow too.

Since we're talking minions I've been using this build which I'm liking a lot. I don't have the links for the skeletal mayhem just yet but it has some solid zombies and with necromantic aegis and v's charity it's a lot of fun. I do have one of the skeleton mage jewels and those seem pretty buff.

Look for Minion Damage or Minion HP in the tree. Also there are nodes and gems specifically for minion resistances, regeneration, and life leeching. No main stat feeds 'directly' into them, though the gem itself requires heavy INT. They get quite tough, especially since they start with 40/40/40/20 Fire/Ice/Lightning/Chaos resist.

don't skimp on the minion life nodes, srs benefit from life too once you have beacon of corruption so they're good

Do chests in Silver Door areas in uber lab ever hold treasure keys, or can/should I just skip them if they're off the main path?

Honestly the game finally feels 'complete' to me at this point. Like yeah it needs more voice acting for A5-10 and the bosses could use some tweaking but I feel like this is the real 1.0 of the game and everything up until now has been a very large open beta. A single storyline you play through once per character followed by an actual transition into mapping, an actual help system/tutorials, and a proper minimap.

That's not to say I regret playing it or any of the god-knows-how-many dollars I've spent on it.

they usually lead to emperor's troves, which are quite similar to the chests after you beat izaro in terms of reward

they can be very much worth doing if it's not like, a sawblade & spike trap

I get the same feeling. I never really missed much, but playing 3.0 makes me realize that this is the first actual "finished" game.

Am I just bad, or are the spinning blades the worst when it comes to not taking any damage crossing them?

a storm is coming...

The game made fun of me because I messed up on my Cruel lab run on some saws. It was a great run with great darkshrines, and then my subsequent run gave me two useless perma-buffs and... Two of the trap resistance shrines. Which stack. So I was completely immune to trap damage. Felt like the game put me in baby mode...

How important is improved item rarity? Is it basically required like d3 vanilla or completely useless like current d3?
Basically I've got 1 skill that kills everything, and it kills everything pretty well. If I get another link for that skill, is it worth throwing an IIR support gem in there?
(I'm just hitting endgame on my first character, for context)

Unrelated, I've been using flame dash as my 'teleport across unpathable areas' utility. Is there a better skill to use for this?

not useless, but it's a frill you could get if your clear speed is good and can afford to sacrifice however many gear mod slots for iir instead (never use iir support though)

most people don't bother because it's better to be stronger and clear harder stuff instead
