I hit lvl 99 and have been trying to get to lvl 100 and lately I've been logging on, grinding for 3 hours, and then going to bed. Save me from this hell I'm at 17% and haven't died yet. Also I refuse to ever party with another player and I'm not going to buy 100 Beachheads so I'm just running normal maps.

Also it's worth pointing out that the grind to lvl 100 generates an obscene amount of currency if you do it the normal way (not Beachhead rotations). I hit 98 with CurrencyCop telling me I had around 9000 chaos equiv in my stash, went up past 16000, bought a Headhunter, and I'm back at around 12000 after 6 hours of mapping with Headhunter. It's basically impossible to not get rich enough to buy anything you want if you're going for 100.

So you're saying is, if you play a lot you get lots of currency?

Yeah I'm including diamond flasks, and yeah obviously since my gear is not ready and I'm missing some key passives still, my crit chance isn't high enough.

I'm at 4 frenzy charge max right now, which is great for whenever I'm killing poo poo with blood rage up, but just is fizzling single target. I'll work on gear, and of course just getting more levels.

Mathil's build suggests using frenzy as a single target buffer so you always have access to frenzy charges.

Isn't there a limit cap to the number of zombies/srs/aw you can have up? It'd be what, 10+20+50 if you manage to max things out?

Basically I'm just warning you that they already put an end to AW crashing poo poo back in 2.6.

Dominating blow reanimates dead enemies, they're not considered zombies, and afaik there is no cap on dominated mobs.

Hm, okay. I've been finding myself running out of frenzy charges real quick when I don't kill anything, so it's been flicker flicker nnnnnngh wait two seconds flicker flicker, which isn't great.

I'll add in the totem, I guess. I suspect getting some more gear on me will be good, gotta hit 63 for my daresso's defiance, and get an abyssus, and so on.

So I just found this wand in a Tier 10 map and I have no idea if it's valuable/how valuable it is, or how/if I should go about crafting to make it better.



Any suggestions?

Well, shit.
It's definitely valuable, multiple ex. I'll let someone with more wander experience tell you exactly what to do with it though.

I don't think it's actually that valuable, it's a bad base and phys wanders aren't that popular compared to ele

Did somebody call about a Ravager problem?
The truth is in the middle. It's a very good roll on a less than desirable base. There are wander builds that prefer slower attack speed bases, but they are less common.

If you want to sell it, find similar on poe.trade and then way overprice it to start, dropping the price every day or every few hours, depending on how much you play.

You need insane crit chance and enough mana leech. Also be aware that your cursor position often affects the direction you flicker in.

Yup! I need to get a few more crit passives, and replace a couple more pieces of gear.

Yeah I think I kinda noticed the direction thing, but not consciously...is there a way to make that help vs bosses?

Speaking of that, is there a high-visibility mouse cursor mod out there? It's easy to lose that drab little gray thing in the psychedelic menagerie.

I was having the same problem and after some searching found a program called Yolomouse that lets you customize your cursor. I just use one of the default pink colors that comes with it, very high visibility for sure. 3rd party software so use at your own caution I guess but I haven't had any problems with it.

Huh, ~200k dot dps on shaper goes a long fuckin way when you have basically 100% uptime compared to other builds. Still slow, but utterly safe and relatively easy.

This lowlife ED Scion thing might be my favorite build this league, and I'd imagine a life or CI version would be a good league starter too. Neat.

I use the same, highly recommend it. Also I double checked at one point and GGG has no problem with it (don't see why they would since it's client side, but still).

Yeah this is my attitude as tanky guardian RF guy. I don't care that guardians take me 2 min to kill, it's an ok time even with ugly mods (except phoenix :rip:)

I use it the first half then turn it off and get serious with scorching ray to get my flasks back. Orb of storms hitting the adds keeps EO up and puts EE on them which is enough to one shot them with a sweep of SR. once he's below 20 and my flasks are back I pop everything and use my vaal disc.

If I used ROTP i could do it easy without turning off RF but I CBA to figure out changing my auras for not using prism guardian

Cloak of Defiance? It's always been viable but since ES has been nerfed MoM + Life is the easiest/cheapest way to make a super tanky Templar/Witch/Shadow/Scion.
Actually with a 110c price tag you could probably build an equivalently tanky ES character, but I assume it's still the cheapest on HSC.

That's pretty vague, what build are you / what do you need? If you're just starting out it's probably best to convert it to chaos and get some smaller stuff, maybe a tabula that you can use for multiple characters

I am just assuming people are price fixing because its 4c on SC and for some reason it's more expensive than Belly on HC
