Do tell, what are you actually doing with it?

The general idea is using an eye of innocence and martyr of innocence together to set myself and everything else on fire while blowing up every 1.2 seconds due to the built-in vengeance, and getting a bunch of buffs from ignite. Also combining that with the inquisitor's Sanctify to put down consecrated ground literally everywhere for more damage and regen since the eye of innocence feedback counts as a hit. It should be awkward until level 68 when I can start dealing fire damage to myself and pumping out vengeances and consecrated grounds, but everything dies so drat quick that I dont even notice.

If affordable, is United in Dream a good option for a skelly-mages build? Even the free Envy aura doesn't look as good as a L20 anger.

Other options include The Scourge w/ arc+COH to trigger the 70% minion damage bonus. Or going 2H for a 6L Pledge of Hands.

From what I've heard elemental minion scaling is strictly superior to chaos/poison this patch, making united in dream very lackluster.

The other day I gave away all my stuff thinking I was done with the league and going to play the new xcom expansion. I couldn't get into xcom and the siren song of PoE is calling me back. Since I am basically starting over, I am going to level up a Dark pact dude that people seem to enjoy this league. I am looking at the forums and seeing a lot of different builds, can anyone recommend me the best one to do?

What's up goons, I'm looking for some upgrade advice for my Tornado shot raider. It's starting to have trouble on t8-10 maps. I have about 80c to spend.

Oh and a question as well, my VP life leech doesn't really hold up on bosses and higher tier mobs. I've already got some leech nodes, any ideas on how to boost it?

Pick up more life on all of your rares, you can get 70+ on rings/amulet for cheap. Drop the charisma and essence sap clusters on your tree, pick up the forces of nature and primeval force cluster. Take the life/mana leech node right next to vitality void if you need mana leech. Your flask setup should me instant life flask, atziri flask, diamond + 2 other flasks (quicksilver, basalt, stibnite, jade, silver are all decent options). Ideally you'll eventually want a vinktars and dying sun but those are expensive upgrades. Use the 5 link in your chest for a barrage set up for single target dps. Buy a Signal Fire so you get a full ele conversion instead of 50% phys, 50% lightning. Reduced mana doesn't work on mana reservations, you ideally should drop grace and arctic armour and run hatred + herald of ice. Swap proj weakness for assassins mark so you can generate power charges or ele weakness for more damage. I'd also drop the Lioneye's Glare for Death's Opus/Doomfletch's Prism/Rare bow so you can take point blank on the tree

edit: I also blanked on wise oak, that's a good flask upgrade as well

You have life on your pieces, but it's low. Life rolls really high on some of these slots. Ideally you want 90+ life and resists on a rare ring, 90+ on a rare neck, 110+ on a belt, 90+ on head/boots/hands. You've either got uniques or really low life rolls in each of these spots. Crafted life lags behind what gear can naturally roll, so it's not really going to keep up.

Using uniques is fine, but each one is an opportunity cost tradeoff -- you weigh what the unique is giving you vs. what you'd get from a good rare. The Magnate is a particularly bad offender here; for the cost of your belt slot (which can get you a ton of resistances and life) you're getting lovely resistances, barely any life, and some cool but relatively minor perks. Personally I'd keep the Devoto's, ditch the Magnate, and start replacing your rares with better life rolls.

Here's a quick sample search for affordable rings with at least 90 life and at least 80 total resists. If your budget is real tight, you can drop those thresholds just a little and find big upgrades for dirt cheap. Same deal with the belts, but you actually push the threshold higher -- you can get 110+ health and 90 total resists for fairly cheap on a belt.

Once you start stacking up more flat life, your Belly will have a much more noticeable effect.

I'm not sure I'd call that affordable... There's one 3c ring(which was probably already bought as I type this) and then it's a 15c and then everything else is 40-50c. This is because 90 life on a ring is actually pretty difficult! Tier 1 life caps out at 79 so you need it to be coral or have a large strength bonus or both.

There were several options there for 11-15c when I ran that search. It'll likely fill back up in US primetime, it's not exactly a super restrictive search.

Also 15c seems pretty reasonable to me for a solid upgrade, and I'm not a richie rich trade baron. Like I said, move the thresholds down slightly if 15c is out of your budget and you've still got good pieces for ~5c that will last a while.

I'm new to PoE, I get that the Harbinger league's main hook is the Harbingers, but do they have different gimmicks, currencies and prizes for each league?

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
Flipping is pretty ridiculous currency/hour even if you play it safe and only flip things that are guaranteed returns with fixed prices (uniques, essences etc). Unless you really want to squeeze max efficiency out of it you can even do it while mapping or otherwise playing the game (unless you're farming lab).

Yes, each league has (mostly) different additional mechanics, special currencies, challenges, and rewards for them.

For whoever was asking before, I run uber lab on my Wander with my normal mapping setup but I take out Vaal Pact and it's fine. It's standard 50% flask effectiveness Quicksilver of Adrenaline Pathfinder + 30% movespeed boots + Onslaught speed, and it does enough damage to blow up all the Izaro phases nearly instantly.

Also I've done everything this league with it, including Hall of Grandmasters. I can't dodge Uber Atziri crap and everything in Uber Atziri does like 9000 damage so I'll give you a warning that my Uber Atziri kill I did die a bunch of times, but I wouldn't say any build not specialized for it is going to do better. That said, I have 6300 life wearing a real amulet and full Acro + Phase Acro, Yriel's Fostering instead of Belly, and do like 1.4m DPS not counting any shock effect to Shaper, also I'm missing +2 Barrage Enchant, which would bring that up to 1.8m.

Any opinions on where to improve my life (that don't involve removing Bisco's)?
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/eschatoned/characters (cyberermom)

I could drop the Rat's Nest for a rare helm with +life, but what other useful mods do I put on it? I'm capped on resistances, so I don't know what else I would want the helmet to do. If I get a rare helm with +life and +res, then I guess I could change on of my other pieces that has +res on it to something with other useful stats, but which?

Swapping Daresso's for a Belly adds about 400 life, so it's ok, but probably not worth the ~60c it'd cost me. And Kaom's isn't anywhere close to affordable.

Keep in mind that crit chance is extremely important in this build. Following this guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1859077

You can get another ~60 life on boots if you upgrade those, replacing maligro's with rare gloves would be another hundred or so, and you have a whole bunch of life nodes that are very easy to fill out over your next few levels. you can also get life on your jewel. belly/kaoms is probably the ideal chest but if you want a cheapish upgrade, you could look into death's oath. similar life but it gives resists, a shitload of stats, attack speed, and more life leech

Did somebody call about a Ravager problem?
When y'all are getting bored with just clearing content, that's the exact moment you should start designing and trying out ridiculous niche builds that probably won't be very effective but seem cool in concept.

Watch woolfio's stuff on youtube, he figured out how to play for fun and try new poo poo. The game is more than just killing every boss and getting hundreds of exalts and headhunters and skyforths. Sure those make for some neat builds, but they're hardly the end-all for the whole gameplay experience.

i think this wander might be my favorite build ive ever done. up there with my howa raider from breach. high speed, shattering whole screens, good single target without swapping weapons or gems, 100% flask uptime...its so much fun. all for the low cost of a dying sun and vinktar (my other gear is still cheap as hell)

i spent awhile last night running ubers for the lightning damage boot enchant. didnt get it with the ~10 saved offerings i had. last map of the night had a trial which led to more enchant disappointment but also one last offering from the chest. that was finally the one :woop:

also i rubbed the enchant skull on my boots really hard that time so i am doing that from now on.
