How is arc totems versus arc trap?

So... here's probably my hammer. In the reddit thread they're talking about holy relics, but I don't understand the mechanics of how this would be beneficial beyond an Elreon encounter.. Is it regarding some new skill that I'm missing?

quote:

Added a new Intelligence/Strength Skill Gem - Summon Holy Relic: Summon a Holy Relic that stays near you. When you hit an enemy with an attack, the Holy Relic triggers a nova spell, with a very short cooldown, that deals physical damage to enemies and grants life regeneration to allies. This life regeneration is more effective to your minions.

I think dom blow is a namelock skill so its gonna feel bad without ancestral call. Maybe sub multistrike out for that.

quote:

The auto-targeting done by single-target melee attacks such as Heavy Strike or Molten Strike (ie. any attack that requires "namelocking") now targets enemies within a wider area, based on the total range of your attack. The width of this targeting area grows by 1 unit per 3 units of melee range. This should make it much easier to target enemies with these skills.

DS Champion or Pure Skeleton Necro as a SSF starter?
How would Necro perform as an uber lab farmer? With the new shared minion attack speed for better movement?

What obvious thing am I missing here

Devor posted:

With traps you right click a pack once and throw out a cluster of Arc Traps that blows up all the packs around it

With mines, you right click a pack once then press another button to detonate them manually that blows up all the pack around it

That's literally twice as many clicks!

So it's not the hugest thing but when I want to zone out I found it frustrating. You'd get used to it in time though.

If you are using a guide do you mind linking it? I can't decide if I want to go Occultist or Trickster...

I want to get better be more efficient at this game. I've spent over 2 to 3 times the amount of time spent as I've seen others play, who've made 2 to 3 times more currency than I have. I've made about a tenth of the currency than those more efficient than me with the same amount of time spent. I've played about 77 hours the last two weeks, and I've only amassed maybe 3 to 4 exalted. I want that number to be ten times that amount.

Here's where I'm at, and how I generally play:

* My profile: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/SkrillaBills/characters (I'm running a level 90 BV chieftain - approx 5.9k life)
* I've got around a 110 atlas completion. Everything is fully complete up to T11 maps, sans some uniques.
* My delve is around depth 60, 700 sulphite cap.
* Most time spent is alching up T9/10/11 maps (around 4-5), running maps back to back, throwing loot into a stash in between map opening). My hideout is set up such that I can access map device, stash and waypoint from stationary.

What my plan is:

* Push hard into delve, where it seems like a lot of profit exists. Push to depth 100, farm out some generator upgrades, there, and hope for good loot along the way.
* Get atlas completion bonus to around T13, work on getting shaped vaults and undecided shaped T10.
* Hope for good rng?

I'm a bit flustered. I know there's better ways to play, because there's clearly people running around with 30ex+ of gear. I feel like I've hit a plateau and am not progressing how I'd like. A good quarter of my income seems to come have come from chaos recipe, which feels pretty balls.

My arc build is loving great for running maps, but absolutely terrible for red map bosses for some reason. I just spent a ton of my built up currency getting her good gear but my Pathfinder is just all around better right now.

EmmaWattson is the char

Anything I can do? I had thought that the Arc build was good for all content but apparently I'm doing something wrong. I can kill faster with the Pathfinder and do bosses about as well (ie after a few deaths generally).

I had a couple of days before I move to a new job and have no time or internet for awhile, so instead of trying for endgame content I decided to have some fun with the new cast on ignite meme build, and it was cool and good. Watch these two videos if you haven't because they are hilarious:

Anyway:


Vs an Abyss


Facetanking whatever this boss is called


Deathless Kitava, not dodging abilities.


Delving was the closest I came to breaking the game.

10/10 would play dumb fun builds again.
