Atziri Step is 700 evasion, 30% MS, and 70 life. It's good. You're not going to find boots that match it as long as you can make up the resists.

Also, quality on all your gear. Use your armourer scraps and whetstones.

I try not to price check a lot, but this just dropped and I think it may be worth quite a bit:



A few chaos, I'd probably throw that in a 5c tab but I don't know if it's too high or too low. Evasion is a worthless stat.


whalestory posted:

Is queen of the forest even worth it on an ele wanding pathfinder? I guess I just need way more evasion but it seems really hard to get enough for it to be cool.

I'm also feeling the pain of not having enough resists when i'm running with rat's nest, thunderfist, lyco, and atziri's steps so I guess I should probably switch one or more of them out for a rare with life/resist. im just kinda working myself up on a small budget of like 100c

i guess on the offchance that anyone feels like giving me advice on my wander so far: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/whalestory/characters i definitely need more jewel slots and then good jewels to go in em

I used a rare chest until I switched to Yriel's Fostering, was never really interested in QotF. To get the most out of the QotF movespeed you have to use a Jade of Reflexes and a Quicksilver of Adrenaline, otherwise it's basically the same as Yriel's Fostering and using a Quicksilver of Adrenaline, maybe even a bit worse. As I have said before, you really want the Quicksilver of Adrenaline as well as Dying Sun and Vinktar, which leaves 2 flask slots for Bleed Immunity and Curse Immunity. Using the Jade of Reflexes means you have to drop one of the unique flasks or one of the immunities, and I don't really see the point. I don't think you should use Thunderfist + Rat's Nest while Tempest's Binding exists and lets you get life + resists in both glove slot and helmet slot, as well as generate Frenzy charges while using Pierce on KB. Thunderfist + Rat's Nest gives you the biggest tooltip numbers on Barrage I guess, but I don't think it's good.

Those nodes are worth it. But also I use a rare for resists.

E: I'd consider dropping Yriel's for Perfect Form if I think I can get my resists in line but I don't think it's reasonable to skip Phase Acro entirely when you are more than strong enough as a Wander that sacrificing 4 points for it is not a major problem.

I just rage unspec'd out of them when I died once from getting crit by izaro mace slam with Jade/Stibnite/all Acro nodes up. Haven't looked back, but I also stopped leveling on that character.

Spell dodge is fine, the question is if you really want to spend 4 points on it. Using the boots doesn't cost you anything besides a few resists that you can easily grab somewhere else and they have great evasion for Qotf.

Edit: Maybe i should actually read the last page before posting.

Does anyone have a pet build for easy Uber Lab runs? I put together a budget one early on using the Blood Magic w/ Attacks Axe but it didn't feel very good.

Now that I have some cash to work with, I'd like to put together something else powerful that doesn't use VP.

I assume Regen Juggernaut would be a strong base to start from.

Also, relatedly:

Is there a way to transfer enchantments among two items? I swear I read that in a patch, but I'm not seeing it . I never really messed around with farming enchantments before.

I guess the preferred way is to do the enchants on a random white helmet, and let other folks craft it up as needed?

I've been playing RF this league (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1729087/page/1) and it absolutely laughs at Labyrinth. I haven't tried charge disruptors yet but every other mechanic is trivial. As a bonus, you take no damage from flame traps.

You cannot transfer enchantments.

I'm a newbie at farming enchants myself but it seems like the entry level way to do it is buy cheapish but popular unique hats (Devoto's, Starkonja's) and use those.

I am selling a 7% life, 14% fire resist and 10% projectile damage for 20 chaos and I got an offer when I was afk so apparently life is valuable

Yeah life on a jewel pretty much makes it worth something no matter what in this meta.

Outside of a few exceptions, most life nodes give 5% life, which means a jewel slot giving 7% life is already beating most life nodes and can give other stats as well.

If you got money to blow, dump enchants on Tempest's Binding. Very high upside and even middling stuff is solid. 40% Blade Flurry damage on that is 4ex.

I was thinking last night about buying either a Starforge or a good Vaal Axe and turning my sunder slayer into a pure phys Cycloner. That character is RT right now; is that OK for both the vaal axe or Starforge, or would they want to be crit-based? Which would probably be better? Would I possibly want to include bleeding in such a changeup?

Also, there seems to be some confusion on this. Does the Shock on Starforge have any value at all as RT?

Bow builds can too, though phys conversion/Doomfletch are way more popular than ele bow builds this league. It's really nice as a pseudo 6L for LA so you can go LA/Barrage with Kaom's Heart. I'm surprised that Blade Flurry enchant is expensive on it, but I suppose Blade Flurry is a ubiquitous enough skill people will pay a bunch for any good life + resist hat with other upside as long as it has the enchant. Generally speaking, if you hit an enchant for any skill that's popular or general purpose stuff like Golem buff effect, reduced mana reserved for popular auras, and extra curse effect for popular curses you should sell the hat and start enchanting a new clean one. Obviously you're aiming for +2 projectiles for Barrage because that's worth something like 60 exalts, and I think the next most expensive might be Tornado Shot +2 secondary projectiles.

Also item showcase: I bought this belt yesterday for 3 Ex, divined it 6 times cause I wanted high life roll + at least 46 strength for stat requirements, and Blessed it up to max life roll. Pretty sure the seller ripped himself off:

both starforge and any vaal axe have too low crit chance, RT reigns supreme

I dislike bleeding, and SF can shock with RT when you have other shock sources like a jewel


now if you got some spare mirrors you could crit with a ~600dps Fleshripper, good luck with that

I got to Act 4 and I'm at level 40 with a Witch (I was kind of following some thing I found online about the "Arc Witch") but I can only keep dodging him so long before I whiff a flame dash or movement command and I get hit by the green goo.

Depending on your build/gear you can do Izaro as early as the low 20s, assuming you know what you're doing and have twink gear. If I'm not playing some early blooming monster build I usually do it when I get to A4 at/around 40. Once you learn how Izaro works he's insanely easy.

It looks like there's a couple of belts that look similar to this worth around 3-4 exalts, and then other ones in the tens of exalts, so people aren't very consistent at pricing them. Last prefix shouldn't really matter. If you're selling I'd try to get more and go for maybe 10 ex starting price, otherwise it seems hard to tell.

Kind of, I usually wait until your level to attempt the lab at all but it's certainly possible the moment you get all 6 trials and can enter, which is like lvl 33. Arc is incredibly bad at killing single target bosses though, so you'll probably have to find a better single target setup and/or come back to it later.

if you're looking at poetrade then one at 10ex is literally that belt so I'm doing alright with my rough guesses

So, character advice time! Here's my sheet: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Ixjuvin/characters

Righeoux is a RF chieftain. I can kill all the Guardians deathless, Atziri and Uber Lab are a joke. But my first try on Shaper (ever, I have never killed Guardians much less Shaper before this league) he chumped me, I didn't even make it out of phase 1. Do I just need to improve my gear by a couple increments? How should I change up my flasks? Do I just need to Get Gud? How would Uber Atziri go? PoB tells me that I've got 85k DPS from RF, plus I use a Scorching Ray totem to reduce fire resist and add a little damage.

If you're in a party, and parties will love you because you're a Slayer, folks are slinging around curses anyways, so rather than competing against folks I just run Arctic Armor and Determination, and it works out pretty well. If you got thrifty with mana reservation you could probably fit in Grace/Determination, but Arctic Armor plays nice with Cyclone.
