I wish you could get a shaped pre-enraged rhoa to show up as one of the initial shaper bosses I mean, it'd be harder than getting stuck with rigwald probably, but that rhoa deserves the recognition

f#a# posted:Alright, I'm just shy of beating Act 10 with my Tornado Shot Raider (wanna do Merciless Labyrinth while I have max resistances but Izaro pretty much one-shots me) and quickly petering out, namely because from what I'm seeing, things are getting too expensive to upgrade via poe.trade. You only have 138% increased life on your tree. Get more lifes. Most builds will have 180%+. The life rolls on your amulet, chest, rings, and gauntlets are really low too. Chest can be 100+, the others 70+. It would be easy to make better chest/gloves just just by spamming alts until you get a high life roll, regaling, and crafting on a resist. Can't see your skill tree for whatever reason, but make sure your jewels have % life as well. Life it up. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Aug 18, 2017 |

Speaking of that rhoa, Day 3 or 4 of the league, shaped arid lake, garbo gear gc miner. Walking through the map, clearing pretty easy so I decide to go ahead and enrage the boss. Pop all the nests, get to last one and pop it as the rhoa charges me. Start hitting her with my mines and another one comes flying in off screen. It was a twinned map

So what other map bosses can be played with in a similar way that the Arid Lake boss can? To do something to make the boss harder, hoping for a better loot? I've got like 1200 hours clocked in the game and didn't know that.

Skyl3lazer posted:The boss life increase on t3s is about 5%. It isn't what's making you unable to kill the boss. Well poo poo, really? Is that the only buffs bosses got? I guess this is just a case of placebo and building something low DPS and janky.

Devor posted:Positioning your attacks is key with sunder, so I really don't like the idea of multistrike attacking random targets that might be off to the side. Right now it's more to me that my attack speed isn't high enough, so I kind of stand there a bit lump-like while using it. Build guide I'm using seems to insist it's link #1 priority on Sunder, though.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Has anyone else gotten more actual exalted orb drops then they have gotten exalted fragments from the harbingers? Yep. I did just trade that orb for a nice Doryani's too.  I thought you get the Rhoa down to zip hp, then pop all the eggs and kill it very fast? Oh, someone else agrees. Good. Good.

I find 6k will usually keep me safe on a VP berserker from uber izaro. Now, if you are letting him get a bunch of charges or something, very little will keep you safe.

Build guide I'm using seems to insist it's link #1 priority on Sunder, though. It's probably true that multistrike is great from a DPS perspective, if you're facing one target like a boss, which is really all that matters since trash vaporizes anyways But particularly while leveling, you want to keep your damage to where you're 1- or 2-shotting packs. Sunder is GREAT for this, since its damage scales with number of mobs in the pack. Skip groups of 2-3 monsters, and go whack that pack of 15 and kill them in one hit. Things that make chain explosions like Herald of Ash are good for this If your damage is falling off, do a search on poe.trade for: 1. The weapon type you like 2. max level req = your level 3. maximum buyout = 1 alch or 1 chaos 4. pDPS (physical DPS) greater than 250 (or some arbitrary number) Bump up the pDPS number until you're returning zero results - then walk it back down until you see a few hits. This is the best cheap weapon you can get! You can also just look up the list of uniques on the wiki, and find one that's good for your level and search for the name. People love putting uniques up for sale, so you can usually get them for 1 alch Keep in mind your stats and check that you can wear it, or that you're not losing int on a weapon that's going to make you unable to use skills

It's really refreshing to play a character that is all rares except two pieces (mainhand and boots). I can probably get chaos capped and still have room to play.

Yeah; GGG has gone completely overboard on unique saturation and many players forget that many builds are perfectly fine with lots of rares, which, as you say, can lead to a lot of nice defensive payoffs!

Having lots of rares feels extremely comfortable and in my experience they keep value better

Mostly you need to actively dodge his most dangerous moves: the giant overhead slam and the big spin cleave. It's also worth remembering that the Goddess's green fireballs do much more damage the further you are from Izaro, so keeping medium-close range to him is generally best.

Most of my builds only use two or three uniques tops. Which is why I'm gonna do a Facebreaker dude at some point.

Yeah it's kind of funny how this game has trained me to grimace a little when I have to use a Unique, for the most part (barring clearly insane if specialized stuff like Abyssus and Doryani's Scepter) Also thanks for that advice on finding weapon upgrades. I've never had a good sense of what affixes/numbers make a weapon good.

Good Lord how do you even deal with the Villa trapper boss now. I just need him once for the Atlas, but at 70 his panoply of trapping murder and debuffs melt me. Sometimes Stony the Stone Golem eats a few but mostly nah. Topaz Flasks? Also GGG put a Blasphemer Grip on him... thanks

Awesome! posted:i havent run the numbers or anything but melee phys and conc effect seem more important to me yeah I'm gonna get a Cauterizer tonight, and I'll change around my gems. Didn't even consider that inc aoe/conc effect would affect Sunder, but I guess that makes sense. I'll try melee phys, conc effect, and... i forget, is Added Fire a MORE or do I need to use Maim or the other new one for that (edit) actually is conc effect usable while clearing packs or does it reduce the gouge/explosions too much?

So when it comes to a basic duel-welding sunder marauder are my options between taking Resolute Technique for a cheaper and easier build or going for more crit which is ultimately more powerful but harder to gear and more expensive?

Yes. Don't forget with crit you also need accuracy. Having a 90% crit chance means poo poo if your accuracy is 40%.
