It is harder to get, and it's worth keeping up if you can. You're using a lot of rares so it shouldn't be too hard to get some on a few slots that also have life and good other res at this point in crafting league. That said, and especially for izaro, I'd focus on ehp, damage output, and getting your block up over chaos res. If it's dead it can't kill ya, and life works for all damage rather than just chaos stuff.

Chaos stuff is mostly tuned to assume folks have very little resistance to it. So if you get it high, you can ignore non telegraphed chaos attacks, and tank some big hits. But it’s not super common outside Alva

The build I am following is from a video from a russian guide site and I liked it because it had different builds to following depending on which items you have. (https://guides.lootkeeper.com/poe/cepnaya-molniya-ark-miny and using Chrome translation but the video has full english translation)

Ignore the reduced mana reserve because my Enlightens are not lvl 3 yet.

Here's my pastebin:

I bought the wand and shield pretty recently, so I'm hoping they're decent at least. I know I need to add a movement skill, so I'll slap flame dash into an unsocketed ring (and I guess stone golem into another) before I try again. I've been spamming enduring cry to basically walk through traps a lot of the time, and I do pretty well for the most part except when I get flustered and miss the path or something. I don't think I died on any trials, but the pressure of the labs gets to me after a while. As for Argus's room, yeah that was just lack of knowledge. I beat him the time when I came closest to clearing the lab, but I was never really deliberately seeking him out so much as blindly walking through the labyrinth and dealing with whatever I ran into.

No, definitely get a movement skill. The trap portions will almost feel like cheating.

One thing I don't see people mentioning often is Charged Dash -- it was certainly a skill I'd forgotten had existed. You can potentially skip entire lever gauntlet sections. Here's one example of Charged Dash completely curving around corners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUe-MJbB5RU&t=228s

They're consistently biting off more than they can chew, in part because they get excoriated if they put out a small league or if they put out a big one with more bugs, and I'm guessing they have some kinda data suggesting more revenue from the bigger ones even if buggy. They've definitely painted themselves into a corner and the community and playerbase aren't making it easy for them to course correct.

Also, both R & I both came up at the same time. Should I only run one of them, wait until whoever got removed is back in place, before popping the other?

There are some issues with this game but I honestly don't give a poo poo if a few of the random league mechanics are a little buggy or imperfectly implemented. The only thing I really get worked up about is outright performance issues that make the game itself hard to play, and those aren't too common. Mechanic bloat is definitely a thing but it's not really detracting from My Gaming Pleasure in any meaningful way. I just don't do the content I don't care for and focus on the parts I do. They've made that pretty easy judging by my depth 0 delve chart and the 80 unused einhar and alva missions sitting on my map device.

edit: I'm still going in circles over what kind of build to do next. Has anyone tried Asenath's Chant before? It has a .3 second cooldown for 100% chance to trigger a spell with a bow attack which can actually yield some nice dps on a 4link.

Harvest craft. Put in a gem with quality, get out a proportionate number of gcp. Except if you put in a gem with 1% qual, you get a stack of 0 gcp.

This itemization is kinda weird, you're not low life so you're not getting the low life damage bonus, running Blastchain Mine AND Minefield is also kinda weird, I'd use High-Impact/Blastchain and Trap and Mine Damage instead on your 5L. Your wand is kinda meh. Tree looks fine tho, it's better than mine, I need to respec into the upper side of the tree.

This is quite literally my opinion every league.

So long as I've got another project underway or a maxed out character I can relax and farm with I don't sweat deaths much. Usually just spurs me to work on something more interesting.

Yeah, I always (always) have multiple characters going. I enjoy the levelling on HC and trying out different things. As long as I don't end up without a map-ready character, I am generally fine with rips. The thought-process behind "let's run these mods anyway" is usually an indication that I don't really know what to do with the character anymore. It made me roll the Gladiator we talked about, that is going well. Next to that I still have an 86 EQ Jugg that just performs solidly and a pretty well-geared Scourge Arrow PF that I intend to push. Got a nice crafting project lined up, as I hit a quiver with triple T1; Chaos Multi, +max Chaos Res, Chaos Res. Need to figure that one out.

edit: Forgot about some 75'ish Saboteur, but Mines make me go sleepy.

quote:

I killed my tricked out spare-no-expense vortex occultist yesterday by panicking about a Sirus die beam that I could've easily survived and flame dashing into the middle of a storm which I did not survive at all. Didn't bother me much since the build was nothing fundamentally new, just really strong because of the level of investment, harvest gear, and cluster jewels. Now that the economy has leveled off and most everything is cheap I'm going to try to make my dumb consecrated path + shockwave idea work.

Ahh, too bad. You lost the wand I presume? That thing was really, really nice.
I have issues getting my currency going. I might be very unlucky, but it's been a dry season so far. I started delving a bit and that's actually been the most profitable so far (4 slot resonator selling for 50c). It's not the worst, as I generally only trade for bases, problem-fixing rares and build enabling uniques.

you can use it to make good bleed bows. if you craft a bow with 2 good phys prefixes and all suffixes full, you have a 1/3 chance of hitting the 60% chance of 100% more bleed damage prefix. if that works, you can scour suffixes and multimod attack speed/quality and something else good.

vvv: oh. there are some single influenced item bases that are worth over 5ex. trying to make one of those seems ideal.

That's for add an influence mod to an item, which is different than add influence to an item. Something I discovered when I didn't get challenge credit just now. >:(

If you have an elder weapon with 2 good prefixes it's better to benchcraft "cannot roll attack modifiers" and augment an attack modifier for a 50/50 chance to get the bleed mod because GGG put in separate layers of tags for affixes for some reason.
