I settled on a 5l for my Searing Touch on my chieftan because gently caress it the last socket would be Empower and I don't have the currency to get one at level 3 or care enough to level one manually. Also I may have splurged 20c on a Skin of Lords with the color setup I needed for my latest project because a cheap 6l with +1 gem level and +100% global defenses (to offset the armor itself having nothing) is pretty rad. For the curious my latest project is one I've been brainstorming for a month now. Trickster Trypanon CoC Bladefall/EK. With Trickster's Walk the Aether I can reserve 100% of my mana on Double Herald + Hatred plus I'll get some nice evasion survivability boosts and free frenzy charges. If I had to patience to save currency for ages I'd want to upgrade the body armor to either a 6l Queen of the Forest for a big movespeed boost with some nice resists or a Kintsugi for large burst hit insurance. Main skill setup is Cyclone - Cast on Crit - Ethereal Knives - Bladefall - Controlled Destruction - Life Leech. EK has the threshold jewel making it a nova. You can replace Controlled Destruction with Concentrated Effect for a bigger damage boost but I didn't like the small cyclone range. Life Leech along with Vaal Pact gives a ton of survivability since you have knives flying everywhere constantly. Long term goal is to get a Sin's Rebirth flask for a good survivability flask that'll also give a good damage boost. Cheap flasks I have now are a Rotgut which gives a near permanent movespeed boost since my constant crits keep it topped off and an Atziri's Promise for a good damage boosting flask.

Dennis McClaren posted:Christ, just look at the math involved in trying to understand curse damage - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Curse Don't worry about the details imo. Let path of building think about that for you. And by default everything can have one curse active, although there are items and things on the skill tree that can let you get a few more up, things like dodres damning or cospris will.

How does the interaction between essence drain and contagion work? Which should you toss out into enemies first?

GaistHeidegger posted:How does the interaction between essence drain and contagion work? Which should you toss out into enemies first? You want the first enemy to die to have both on it so they spread around based on the contagion aoe. Usually if I'm a little ways from the pack I cast ED first then contagion, if I'm close then contagion first.

God, it's 2017 and I have to keep stat gear in my stash so that I can wear the hat that lets me equip itself.

Or you could take a +30 stat node or jewel and save yourself the hassle for a (likely) not very significant DPS loss. Or just get one with your stat requirements (which PoE trade lets you limit by) if it's not a unique.

I'd rather swap rings to change the sockets on my hat than spend respec points every time. The issue is that if you're 20 Dex short for wearing an item that gives you 20+ Dex the game doesn't figure out that you can wear the item.

The game does not hand you everything in the text. quote:Anyway, outside of bosses, regular mobs can be affected by how many curses simultaneously? Both are the same of course, 1. You need passives or items with +1 curse to get more than that.

Is it just me or does the archer feel like she doesn't do a lot of damage? Also, question for y'all on pc. Can you move while shooting?

What the heck is "added curse effect"? I thought there was only increased, reduced, more, and less.

Did you guys know that Healthy Mind will generate more ES on a mana Guardian than Energy from WIthin? Well I certainly figured that now just now, immediately after spending 60c on two EfW.

We sort of discussed this in guild earlier, but I lost track of it. As far as a Bisco's-wearing elewander goes, is Pathfinder still the best thing running? Or are Raider or Ascendant (deadeye/occultist) not too far behind? Also, do elewanders go crit or noncrit as a rule?

Pathfinder gets Dying Sun + Vinktar benefits. Raider can go fast n get max dodge.

So what's the trick to not getting insta-killed in PoE? I gave up on my first character (crit strike lightning witch) and made a lifesteal-tanking Berserker, which got me past act 10 and into maps. But now I literally can't even level up because random mobs instakill me with elemental damage I have max 75% resistance to. I lose more XP in maps than I gain because the most durable build I could make is too fragile. How do I survive this poo poo?

I'm having a vaguely similar issue with red maps. I'm doing the alch + vaal for the bonus, I have 5.3 HP + MoM and I tend to get deleted really easily.

Flask use is one of those things that seems minor but is actually huge to your survivability. Learning to proactively use my flasks and use them as often as possible is what made me stop having spontaneous explosions so often.

Are there any builds out there besides ancestral warchief berserker that are tanky enough to comfortably do full key uber lab runs, that also have enough damage to do uber atziri? Trying to avoid playing that again but it does seem to be the best build that comes to mind for what I'm looking to do.

Are there any builds out there that use Wrath? I feel like I see a bunch of Hatred and the occasional Anger for fire-heavy builds, but even lightning builds don't seem to use Wrath much.
