This one. A lot of darkshrine effects make things much easier on you.

They really need to get that guy who did the narration in Darkest Dungeon to do the same for PoE, goddamn.

The Caretaker and Izaro get in a shouting match.

Any tips for going into Uberlab the first time? I just got creamed by Argus pretty quickly so I almost certainly need more health but would like to know more about what I can do to increase my odds.

Get more life. And like others said, get the darkshrines and kill/disable Izaro's mechanis to make the second and final fight easier.

Or get a carry and come back later

After leveling my second character, I can say with confidence that the best advice for overcoming any difficult boss fight is More Skeletons.

What's the best movement option for an arc trap build when I eventually have to switch over to using a wand and can't shield charge anymore?

Could just stick to maces unless you are chasing a shimmeron. Some of the maces can have sick rolls on them.

you dont really have to ever switch to a shimmeron if you dont want to. maybe for uber elder, i dont know, i havent tried it with my lovely self-found dagger yet. it was uber atziri viable though.

Culling Strike's always a nice random extra support when you have a spare slot.

Well, shit.
Is there a support that will stop it dealing damage so you don't get hit with the shimmeron degen if you misclick and hit a monster?

Unfortunately no, that's just the price you pay for it. Imagine how bad it would be if you had to deal with that degen all the time.

Yeah I didn't bother with shimmerons either since you can get 90% trap damage sceptres with other good rolls on them for cheap this league

I guess? But then you don't even get to fit in arcane surge like you would if you were using flame dash.

making a +3 elemental bow is also a very real option so you can slap on a kaoms and go blood magic with the malachai helmet

quivers with high crit/multi/life are stupid cheap since you don't need arrows on them and the +3 bow is a guaranteed result with essence/catarina crafting

I did it for fire trap and could crack 7-7.5k hp in decent gear. this on top of blind/enfeeble/phase acro is pretty beefy

I mean, I'm using a Brightbeak right now to level with and feel like anything slower than that on Shield Charge is just gonna feel gross and bad after getting so used to it. By the time I'm no longer able to instagib entire screens of dudes I'll probably be ready to make the switch to real gear anyway so it'll be like a fresh start.

But yeah thanks for the tips dudes, Lightning Warp it is.

Arc will insta gib red maps just fine with a Brightbeak. It will gib most bosses too. Just have an offhand damage switch for harder bosses.

So, not having the regen of my RF jugg or MoM trickster, I'm dying to lab traps with my PP VD. It has 8k life but no regen to speak of. How do I make the lab traps less rippy?
