Advice time, if y'all are up for it. Been playing a terminus est flicker strike slayer and having fun, but I'm hitting a wall of "my gear is Not Good Enough" and I was wondering what order I should upgrade. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/silvergoose/characters terminagricola Basically, I have like 2.5k life or something lovely like that, and it needs to be way higher, but trying to cap resists and get lots of life on the few rare slots I'm going for is...expensive. Things I need to upgrade: Both rings need more life Amulet is my main source of int, and getting lots of int and life and resists is, uh... Belt shouldn't be the base type it is, I could get some more life there 5L or 6L terminus est 5L or 6L or kaom chest Better flaks So yeah. I need everything, but I've only got an ex or two worth of stuff, probably, unless I really start liquidating currency which I'm willing to do if need be. What's most important? How on earth do I get lots of life on a build where the most important unique pieces don't really contribute?

You can take a look at my flicker strike guy that i mostly stole from mathil: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/MrDespair/characters/ (TheFlickeringDead_MrD) Taking more life nodes on the tree and getting less bad gear is basically what it comes down to. (There should be a belt of the deceiver equipped, but a rare leather with lots of resists can be good too). Blood magic helps a ton, don't think you really need those auras to kill poo poo (a witchfire brew will still let you curse everything you're hitting, and since you aren't using it for DoT you can just buy the cheapest one you can) For your amulet in particular carnage heart isn't the worst option, although a rare with crit multi/chance is probably more damage overall, but  Don't think you need maligaros at all, decent spiked gloves are great, and a rare 6l astral plate can probably fix a lot of your problems too and isn't too expensive (buy the cards, throw greeds at it til you get something solid). Sorrow of the divine doesn't do a whole lot for you either, it probably is hurting you more than anything (no regen to life while you're using it!)

Your amulet is garbage, replace it first. Your two-stone ring isn't very good, you should replace that next, same with the belt. The diamond ring has a lot of res and you might want to replace that last. Get 5L on your sword and armor at least, that's not even expensive. You have 124% inc life on the tree-- your absolute priority should be to pick up life nodes next. You want 150% inc by level 80.

Yeah I think I got the abyssus early on and I should replace it. So, abyssus, amulet, ring, 5L terminus est with decent crit seems to be 40+ chaos? Yeah I'm working on getting to the life node ring right now. Still levelin.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Shaboom/characters Look at Severian. I need to switch out the Retch since I guess it hardly does poo poo for flicker but I don't play much standard. Maybe I can get better shoes if I do. The diamond rings were when I was having trouble sustaining but I think steel rings would be way better.

Also I said 40% on your Abyssus but in retrospect that isn't really needed. Like 41-43 is good enough probably if you're tight on money.

Carnage Heart and Belt of the Deciever are both cheap upgrades which can be done asap. Also look at picking up some rare boots with life and some resists. Movement speed too if you get some currency. The extra frenzy charge from Blood Dance isn't necessary to keep the flicker rolling, and the extra damage against low enemies is useless if you are Slayer and pick Bane of Legends (which you should).

If that's the whole art for the item than it has to be a map or a 2x2 shield (in which case it'd presumably be a buckler since it doesn't have spikes or a hoop)

Yes, Vorici. Someone in the guild a few leagues back 2L'd theirs then Vaal'd it for kicks. I want to say they got +1 gems because that's the funniest possible outcome, but that's probably not what happened.

I've been playing a Retch Scion-Slayer/Deadeye Wander after transferring my Pathfinder's gear over and I gotta say, it's really strong. At first I used a 400pdps harbinger bow I crafted and did phys to lightning conversion, but I wasn't too happy with the build. Basically, it came down to only being able to get accuracy on my 2 rings due to amount of uniques, and things like res were a bitch. Couple days ago, I took the character off the shelf and decided to use my wander gear. I also swapped from Raider which I was using with the bow build to deadeye. Problem I had with Raider is that with bad chance to hit, it can be really bad. It's only a 10% chance on hitting an unique monster to gain a frenzy charge, so even with barrage it could take a lot of hits. At first I wasn't too thrilled about Deadeye either, since a Wander you want to be buffing single target damage, but drat it's nice. I actually came to the conclusion it really is nice for single target. Reason being is it buffs Kinetic Blast enough that I never have to use damage flasks for killing trash, which leaves my other flasks fully charged at all times to burst down any bosses or higher hp monsters. Tempest Binding + Deadeye becomes an effective 7 link, and increased critical strikes works very nicely with Acuities. Obviously the extra projectile is always op and great for both aoe/single target. I've also been telling people that even without the Leech Damage, I'd only take off the Retch for a Headhunter, and only in certain situations. 60% Flask duration is amazing, and with just Druidic Rite my flasks last about 10 seconds. 15% Movespeed goes without saying in this gofast meta. It's really hard to say how much damage I'm doing, but I know forsure this Scion was killing Bosses like Argus and a few others faster and in less hits then my 94 Pathfinder with something like 4.6 mil shaper dps. The one thing I'm worried about is barrage crit chance being too low to face tank bosses later on. If I take off my bisco's, It's about 42% unbuffed, and that's literally every single crit node except the accuracy one (I'm using Lyco). My only solution would be to respec Deadeye into Assassin, but does anyone else look at it as only having one good modifier? I mean the multi would help you one-shot trash, but I already do that... The power charge could potentially allow me to use a different curse in my HoI setup, but that's still mediocre. The one thought I have in mind is using Inya's Boots (25% chance to gain full power charges when you normally would gain one). The idea is that could possibly net me full charges from bosses, but I can't imagine that working all the time. Maim I guess is nice, but not at all needed. I can't stop dreaming of a Lioneye's Fall Jewel for Wanders. If you somehow are a diamond supporter and haven't designed your unique, you know what to do. tl;dr: the Retch+Scion/Slayer Leech+Vinktar+Instant-Leech is really loving strong. I Prefer a Scion Slayer/Deadeye Wander, but I assure you, any high lightning damage build would work. I am slightly worried about crit chance because of Acuities, and whether or not I'll be able to facetank all bosses later on. 10bux fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Oct 27, 2017 |

Identical to the last two, except the order is reversed. Kinda makes sense to go from pretty wild to loving bonkers instead of losing intensity.

I'll be honest, the most fun I have in this game is, after I beat a league and get a bunch of broken low level uniques, to make twinks and level up as many different builds as possible and just revel in how they break the game in different ways.

Mayhem especially is an exercise in knowing when to run the gently caress away and make a new instance hoping for something you can actually kill. And then when you do, you get loving tons of gear and it ramps up really fast and is pretty fun.

You're much more likely to get one if you go to 90 and it's actually pretty quick and easy to do that once you get going.
