zxqv8: Oct 21, 2010; Did somebody call about a Ravager problem?

I'd just take it. Your evasion probably isn't high enough to really rely on it for anything, so you may as well reduce the severity of the hits you do take.

You'll still have 5% chance to evade even with IR, so unless you're rocking a really high evasion rate you probably won't be losing too much.

Ciaphas: Nov 20, 2005; > BEWARE, COWARD

Any thoughts on where I should go next on the passive tree for my wandfinder CiaphasAltNumberNine? I only have 4.3k HP at 86 (a touch more if I swap out Bisco's), which is abysmal on the face of it, but seems to be enough with all the evasion I have, and VP, and the 'kill them first' philosophy that that enables. Not a lot of readily accessible life left in the next few levels, anyway.

Also, still wearing 5L QotF. Thinking my next job is to pursue a 6L. Should I throw more of my own fusings at the task, or save and buy one already linked?

I originally was following his tree but I was increasingly unhappy with how piss poor my single target at the time was, and I didn't like the extra travel to the Duelist life/jewel cluster, so now our trees are about 25-30 regret different or so in the name of getting more crit and elepen :shrug:

I swap aura buttons and then finish by putting my golem there even if I have free slots, because accidentally deactivating an aura in combat is super annoying.

I've got a terminus flicker duelist and it is so disorienting. It's fun figuring out where on the map you finally come to rest and where that chaos orb dropped ten packs ago.

pixaal: Jan 8, 2004; All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.

can I get a guild invite on Quaverfoot?
My build is finally starting to come together (the earthquake Hezmana's linked in the OP) got capped resists up from 30 last night and went from 30 minute labs that blinking could end everything to it being a quick 12 minutes. Still not sure if I should be looking for more keys or just go as fast as I can, I feel almost all the loot is from the chests but since the layout is the same for a day figuring out where the keys are and hitting them up seems p.good.

I took a break after a few runs to run a rare T3 map I had been holding onto from when T2 maps were iffy with my low resists and I believe this is what people call Shav and the meme about vending it on reddit.

Seems like it's worth about 50-100 chaos?(I think this one is on the lower end based on quick research). I haven't played (and never seriously) since beta, this is CI without the only have 1HP isn't it, looks like it could open up several builds. Are there any fun builds I could try with this? I might also say gently caress it and just sell it. I've tried to sell a bunch of rares that look reasonable for 1-3c each and haven't had much luck. Splurged all 10 of my chaos last night on armor and really it's paid off even without this.

Also what is proper trade etiquette for haggling since people seemed confused if I said "I'd like to purchase the gloves you have up for 2c" and just wanted to auto text from poe trade so they could find the tab and everything. Just hit that and then an offer? I have a feeling I'm going to be at prices that haggling is acceptable this weekend.

whypick1: Dec 18, 2009; Just another jackass on the Internet

Shav's opens up a ton of builds that require reserving a bunch of your life since that means you won't instantly rip to chaos damage. Auramancer (although this got nerfed on FoO release) or anything that can use Pain Attunement (30% more damage on low life).

Coincidentally, you should give it to me...for safe keeping...

And yes, just enter in the blurb from poe.trade. Don't expect to haggle.

Haggling is appropriate for expensive but low liquidity items. If it's under 50c, do not haggle.

Not a bad idea, if you know the mechanics. It might take a few tries to get the hang of. Watch some youtube videos. Make sure to use your ruby flask when she pops her single flameblast (cyclone has a hard time getting out of the way).

You want some gear upgrades. 6S your ngamahu's, at a minimum. Get a better ring than sybil's, you won't need that for the bosses. Link an increased duration and blood rage to your cast when damage taken-immortal call. And get Uber lab, you can ask on /global 820 for a carry. And seem to have forgotten to pick up the Catalyse node.

Died twice against her gigantic flameblast, once was a legit dumb mistake from not being used to it, the other was a YASD. Overall not completely terrible. Got an Atziri's Promise :toot:

Dunno how good it is.

I'll work on getting a better ring than the Sybil's for stuff I know doesn't damage reflect. I'd 6s the Ngahamu's, but I'm worried that I won't be able to get good colors for it and it'll screw up what I have.

I'll get the Increased Duration/Blood Rage when I can gemcutter 20 my CWDT when it finally hits level 20 :argh:

I feel weird about buying an Uber Lab, especially when I can't find that last trial I need. I just specced into Catalyze, I thought I got it when I drifted to getting the Constitution lifewheel. :shobon:

im reasonably sure you can't buy a carry until you have all 6 completed, but if you keep your eye on /global 820 people normally post when they get a trial so just look for the one you're missing

I'm running a cyclone berserker and I'm wondering if I should take Iron Reflexes. I am already pathed next to it for Vitality Void so it would only be one point. I have approximately the same amount of armor and evasion. I can't seem to find a solid answer. The build I'm following doesn't specifically say take it but from what I have begun to gather, the build is a rough guide and doesn't point out some "obvious" things that aren't so obvious to a new person like me so maybe I'm missing it.

Trying to hit a specific enchant is a fool's errand. There's like 300 of them. What you CAN do is keep rolling and sell your hat once you hit something valuable, using those funds to buy the hat with the enchant you want.
