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.

I hate Slayer cull because it makes headhunter buffs harder to stack.

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?

Depends on how much currency you have to invest in it, and how fast you want to go. This guide has a cheaper earthquake starting version at the bottom, that can be respeced into a dual wield cleave version once you have enough currency to buy a decent axe and soul taker for it. The dual wield cleave jugg build is still pretty cheap, and really safe to do lab. About all you have to be careful of are days when izaro has a lot of elemental damage buffs, otherwise you just leap slam through and face tank everything.

If you want to go faster and spend more to do it, then you do blade vortex pathfinder with queen of the forest and poo poo loads of evasion so you can get like 500%+ movespeed. Check the profile of the guy who wrote the guide I linked above and look at his norse_kb character for an example of this type of build. He hasn't written a guide for that one yet as far as I know, but I'm sure there is one out there somewhere on the forums.

If you're wearing cold volkuurs gloves, will cold res pierce increase your poison (by making the initial hit bigger?)

e: another question i have is, the gloves say "cold damage can poison," does that mean i have to find a separate source of poison for chaos damage?

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1930275

I'm playing almost this guy's exact build and it's fun and strong but not something I'd recommend as a league starter, the entire passive tree is focused on maximizing movespeed and makes up for the lack of damage and survivability with a small handful of very strong rares.

QOTF + Blade Vortex is a strong combo, BV makes sustain a joke with leech + VP and you can definitely make a league starter out of it, but if you're referring to this specific build I'd look for a more general build with different passives and different gear.

FWIW I ran BV pathfinder just going for MoM and a decent life pool, worked very well and got me through all of the end game content just through the virtues of level 20 gems, VP, and not being oneshot by things. Perfectly suitable for a starter build, if you are comfortable with how BV feels before you hit maps.

What he said. Finding someone with a level 8 Vorici will be the hard part. Coughing up 4 Chromes + 4 Vaals for at least 1 blue socket (most likely 2 because it's Str/Int item) is the easy part.

Penetration does not increase the initial hit's damage, it decreases the reduction. Poison and ignite base their damage on the hit before resistances are taken into account. Also, no, physical and chaos can still poison when using those gloves, but it's also half duration just like poison from the elemental damage. If your build does physical and chaos it might actually be worse for you to use the gloves. You'd have to either have no chance to poison outside the gloves or have more than twice as much damage of that element as you do poison or chaos, or some sort of combination of those two factors.

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.

Delirium-ed Gloves to turn RF into a 5L, you should check if a Kaoms Heart will increase dps over your belly, get a 6L belly to turn RF into a real 5L (but is insanely expensive compared to the gloves), get a real 4L for SR and use a decoy totem (questionable imo), Fire Damage Opal Rings and high roll https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ngamahu_Tiki aka MMMMMMONEY

Oops I forgot the phrasing on the Volkuur gloves-- physical and chaos will still count but you do need a matching type of skill to poison with just the gloves.

I would use essence of horror on your helmet instead. That way you can use Insanity on your gloves with shield charge.

If you have no other sources of global increased attack speed the essence of insanity is the same as having 16% increased attack speed on the gloves, so that seems like kind of a waste on RF to me :v:

I just found a Ngahamu's on HC. Now I have an 85 Doomfletch Raider I don't play much.
Is a Raider Cycloner ok with vaal pact? I read the following, which means I wouldn't have to go to Avatar of Fire:

quote:

[3.0 Update]
edit: It has come to my attention thats not a bad solution to go 50% cold/lightning conversion instead of AOF at least for general mapping. You would take winter spirit in ranger which is only 3 points, way less than going AOF and you would replace fire pen gem with the new attack damage on full life. Using physical to lightning gem instead could also work but since you replace a support gem it might be slightly weaker.

My worry is that the Raider version is not suited for HC. Anyone with any insights?

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
I would like to try out the labyrinth, to get some of those ascendancy points
My first character died on Dominus.
My second character, a frostbolt totem hierophant is level 42 and alive and well in A5, though he has never stepped into the labyrinth. It was quite fun in the beginning but eventually i got a bit bored since placing totems and hanging in the back is not really my playstyle.

I currently play a Marauder, sitting at level 37 atm with 75% all resists (not chaos) and 1600 life. I use a Thief Something unique ring for life/mana steal. My main attack is cyclone with a couple of supportive gems. I also have molten strike with a couple of supportive gems. Mostly beginner gear without perfect sockets or anything. The build i am aiming towards is "Ngamahus Ball Toss Zerker"

Am i r eady for the labyrinth? How one-shotty are Izaros attacks? I am fine with quitting the game if my life drops low. I just don't want to risk getting oneshot, then i'd rather just wait until i am higher level. I am fairly good at dodging in this genre of games. (My hierophant took virtually zero damage from Malthiel on my first ever attempt at that boss)

1.600 life with max resist should be absolutely fine on Izaro.
You're free to link me your gear online and I might have some upgrades for you.
I also put a ton of uniques in the G-stash recently (HC), so check that too if you haven't yet.

You should be more than fine for normal lab with those numbers. All of izaro's big attacks are very telegraphed, he has a hard time hitting you if you just run circles around him in general. Just kill whatever pops up on the 3 platforms in his room each time so it doesn't buff him in the later fights. They've nerfed normal izaro multiple times at this point, I don't think he can 1 shot 1600 health even when buffed anymore.
