Don't think so. Duration helps by making stacks last longer as you move...

Tbf if you can put up with maintaining the stacks as your clear it is a very easy and comfortable build that can poo poo on the end game.

I did respec to wander when boss killing got boring.

Yeah I never used CJ, my QoL came from taking a duration cluster and a helmet with the duration enchant.

Also with kaoms roots temp chain maps are a huge buff on you with the longer effect duration, it's very noticeable as BV

That said be ready to accept losing a bunch of shaper instances before you beat him.

The good news is you get more practice on guardians!

I finally was able to really get into PoE and made it thru all 10 acts and I'm now on maps. The problem I have now is I cannot progress, I am dying enough to lose all my xp on the maps that I've tried and I'm stuck at 67. To be honest, the final boss of act 10 I died probably 75 times to. The guide I followed was Ghazzy's SRS Baron build. I do not have the Baron as I can't afford it, however I found a Tabula early so I have the srs built out, as well as a few other items he said to get for leveling.

My fire and lightning resist are -30% so I'm guessing that's a big problem. My cold is around 17% so at least it's above 0. On bosses I do poo poo damage as well, which I did see would be a problem in the build guide, but I don't know how to address. He mentioned lightning trap, so I tossed that in but not sure how to utilize it.

I have 7 chaos and 3 vaal orbs and a bunch of other currency that may or may not be valuble.

I think this link will show my character? Urrdazenx: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Essential/characters

I'd really appreciate some advice on how to get this character back in the action.

You're probably looking for Vaal lightning trap (random result from vaal orbing regular lightning trap), it leaves shocked ground which causes enemies to take more damage.

And to echo what others have said, your resists are dumpster tier and you should fix that asap. Looks like you aren't using master crafting, which you should. Haku and Elreon are your best friends.

To start with you can probably upgrade to some gear with mediocre to no flat life, provided they help get your resists capped.

I mean, rigwald is near impossible to actually "dodge" without using terrain.

The high templar one is harder, what with the fast wind-up and projectile speed. Better to just nuke him fast.

I think I might go with a frostbolt or freezing pulse scion for turmoil. I figure that breach items are going to be common enough, so getting a skin of the loyal shouldn't be that impossible. Probably do elementalist/assassin/deadeye (pick two).

According to bex on Reddit, the mirage archer doesn't work with blink/mirror arrow, and doesn't work with seige ballista or RAT though they want to make it work with the latter in the future. It can apply curses but won't generate charges or grant you any on hit effects.

It does look cool, and I was meaning to try a windripper build...

I actually forgot about the new threshold jewel, that would be pretty nice to have (saves the glove slot and the abyss jewels don't do much for the build anyway) but lol at finding two of them on my own anytime soon.

No you should link it, the weapon DPS is nothing to sneeze at.

I'm doing Scion slayer/raider ngamahu based on this tree (no xophs version):

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1960309

It's fun and goes reasonably quickly, haven't found too many red maps but it has demolished all the content I've run into so far on ssf. Using tombfist gloves for the sweet intimidate bonus damage, I'd run lightpoacher too just because it's fun but I need the sockets/stats on a rare helm.

Also I haven't felt a strong need for Vaal Pact yet. Maybe that will change at guardians/shaper but keeping regen is nice QoL

this looks pretty ridiculous

i kind of want to run the same build but with molten strike - any idea if ngamahu works with AC/MS?

It won't proc the molten burst off the MS balls, the only reason i haven't tried. But MS might be good enough as single target to warrant running anyways. Maybe as a gem swap in your chest?
