Dual totems is really strong, but it's a very passive slow style. I mean not slow slow, but it's slow paced. Drop a totem ahead, see if it aggros anything, move up a bit, drop another etc. Once it aggros, drop 2nd totem near it, curse whatever, maybe drop a few mines/traps, wait for stuff to...

At the same time rolling items can take a lot of currency since it's heavily RNG based. Not saying I don't like it but I popped 60alts on my shield yesterday for example trying to get a high health roll+high resist and I never got one, settled for high health+mana cause I was running out. Chaos...

You could blood magic some flat auras yeah I guess, better make sure your hp doesn't move though cause if you reserve more than your total health, you die, and that's a pretty stupid way to die ^^. Blood Magic being 245% increased cost and you not having health items or passives probably mean...

I made a lot of money when I was gridning felshrine on my EA witch solo. Kill speed was very good(posted a video like last page) and I got plenty of alchs and chaos just looting stuff, then I got a bit of decent gear to sell, but not that much. At 60 and higher, people won't buy crappy gear...

On HC a GMP is worth 2-3GCP, with no qual. With 8% it'd probably be worth an exalted. Maybe softcore prices are lower or maybe you're just not finding the right people I don't know. Friend of mine who plays softcore seems to be getting a lot of really good deals though so I think it's just way...

Yeah Piety is pretty stupid too I assume, I haven't actually got a char to her yet, my explo arrow died on vaal and I can't be bothered progressing on my dagger melee witch anymore. Her Ice arrow hurt like a bitch even on cruel though, I guess because it's part physical and part cold so you need...

Get the 2nd curse and add enfeeble, then pretty much nothing is a threat anymore unless you're like not using any health items. Enfeeble makes Vaal's punch tankable on cruel pretty easily too(on merci you need fairly insane stats to tank it though, when it hits in its high range). Playing a...

Quality gems are worth more than that. Rule of thumb is 1GCP per 5% past the first, so 5-9%=1GCP, 10-14%=2GCP, 15+%=3GCP. The actual usefulness of the skill influences the price too, so like a 10% lightning strike or freezing pulse is going to be worth more than a 18% righteous fire. If it's a...

Well I have the radius passives in witch and templar, but also using concentrated effect. It does a pretty large aoe when you stack the charges though(each charge adds +2 radius) and proliferation itself which spreads the burning is like even large than the explosion so even if mobs aren't in...

Short video of a Felshrine run on my new explosive arrow witch, surprisingly powerful and fun to play. Video I was still 2 levels under Felshrine (so 57) and was already killing stuff super quickly as shown, and that's without the big fire node or the burning node.

It's not approaching, it's 100%. The flaw in their design is you can reach 100% fairly easily(he does it with a unique claw but that's only so he doesn't have to use the stun gem or all the passives) and that it actually works on bosses. They're fixing it though. People used to run stun treshold...

That's why he's rerolling, devs already said they're gonna nerf it. He said Chris mentionned they might leave it like that for trash mobs but give bosses some sort of diminishing returns/immunity to stuns or whatever to make it impossible to stun lock them like trash mobs.

Molten shell would kill everything before the rest matters. It does an absurd amount of dmg, with the only downside is you one shot yourself quite often if you molten shell on an elem reflect pack.

With summons you mean? Cause dominating blow is complete fucking ass on its own. It does no additional damage and it costs a fuckton of mana too so you can't heavy support it(well maybe in an EB build). I was thinking of like running it in a dual dagger build maybe or some shit like that I don't...

Yeah act3 is just annoying as shit, too many retarded mobs for minions. Act1 and Act2 still easy, other than specific mobs like the exploding guys or firedogs. You don't get to choose in maps though so that's a bit annoying I assume, but eh, people are doing them fine, it just feels quite a bit...

I think Leadership kinda sucks, I find once you're 60+, your auras base % increase from lvling them is good enough to cover your minions in most cases. I just don't feel it's worth 3points. Inner Force is though if you haven't picked that yet. As for group play yeah it's pretty messy...

Wouldn't say that, there's quite a few abilities that don't benefit quite as much. Lightning Strike for example imo is better with Pierce now. Get a 10-12% quality LS with Pierce and it has 100% pierce, add LMP and it's basically a super large cone aoe. Chain wouldn't reduce the damage more and...

Hmm supports seem fine to me? Not sure which one you feel is too weak, chain is still fine, fork is still useful on the same spells it was before/until you get chain, lmp is still great, gmp is still situational(mostly for totems) I guess this one could use a buff. Or you're talking about the...

Pretty sure it works like I said, but it's annoying to test and I could be wrong. The game can tell when it's the "last target" because your pierce roll fails. The same way the game can tell when it can start forking a projectile that was piercing because it just failed piercing. If you put...

Afaik: Fireball doesn't do aoe dmg if it pierces, fork or chain, on the target it does that. It only does an aoe on the final target hit(for example if you have 50% to pierce, shoot at one mob, it pierces the first and explode on the 2nd, first will get hit by single target dmg, 2nd mob will...

Unique is just a quality, it's not really unique, people sell Shiversting all day even on HC, it's one of the common uniques. It's a great one though for leveling melees, or anything really, give them lightning strike, weapon elemental dmg and shiversting and you mow through everything until lvl...

That's a problem for some of them, not all of them. Specifically, it's an issue for builds that rely on weapon damage and unique weapons, since then it won't scale. To a similar extent a build that "relies" on tanking stats would have trouble running low stats uniques. But not every build needs...

There's a huge xp penalty for grouping with a large lvl difference, like you get most of the xp and your friend gets shit. What you wanna do is give him the waypoints, have him grind at the most efficient xp places(the ledge, coves, western forest/felshrine, city of sarn, docks) while you run to...

Kripp death was a funny one apparently, one that happened already in closed beta to a 80+ though so he should have known. Double Alira, they kill one, the other one detonate dead on the corpse of first one, since the % is based on max health and alira is a boss, it does a billion and a half dmg...

Page 7 or 14 depending on how you have this forum displayed, I made a post that explains a lot of the basics, there's a link to the list of recipes and how to get every items you can get. It's called recipes, you sell specific stuff to get specific items back, any vendor works. You can also loot...

They used to be worth a bit on closed beta cause people had amassed a large amount of fusings and shit so they could actually bother trying, but atm I wouldn't say they're worth anything unless they happen to be rare with good stats too. It's possible to get a 5L out of a 6S without too many...

40%, and yes. When you pick blood magic, you don't want to run any of the % based auras. On the other hand the flat auras are pretty cheap to run when you reserve them on your 4-5k health pool. On Blood Magic support, sure it's viable but you have to remember it increases the cost by...

Triple post ahoy! Just to say, in all the "corrections" I make, a lot of these are opinions, not the word of God. I try to explain why I make the different choices but you're free to disagree and go with another way to do things. I don't necessarily always make the most efficient builds, as...

Ok quite a few things not so good with this build. First off, why avoid the witch mana regen area? I mean, you're going to be eating through a lot of mana once you have supports and fast cast speed, those nodes are some of the best in the game for a mana heavy char. There's even a 3 health node...

Lightning Strike is really good and yeah that's what I use on my witch melee. Quality Lightning Strike with Pierce(it's at like 90% chance to pierce atm, higher quality would make it 100% but it's expensive), I use pierce instead of fork or chain cause it doesn't reduce the dmg and has a very...

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...9RRzB8fyvWig== Oh it's far from a perfect build or a build I'd recommend, I wanted to try the concept and it works out fine but it's unnecessarily hard, especially the witch part I think, shadow would be better. I also respeced a large amount of...

Don't necessarily agree, IR/US is good but evasion IF you stack health is very very strong too. Armor alone is shit, armor+health is ok but still not great against the real threat in this game, heavy hitters. You need armor with several armor% nodes and granites with +99%armor to even tank the...

Yeah there's a few skills you can't evade and that makes evasion a stat you have to stack health with. In that regard though, it's the same as armor. The only mechanic that can kinda let you bypass that is ES, but chaos can take care of it if you're not massively stacking the stat, chugging...

Well sure it sucks but it's a bit like saying getting one shot is a shitty mechanic because you ran into vaal's slam with no health item or passives or into a frost mob with negative cold resists. It does happen more frequently though so I guess it does suck a 1sec stun immunity after a stun...

There's 2 other mechanics to prevent/reduce stuns. First the obvious one, there's a stat for it(as well as passives that gives you a chance to avoid that are not Unwavering, most of them in the ranger area). Second, you get stunned when the hit does too much damage compared to your health. If...

No you don't need to do anything for the support but zone in cavern of wrath, which you can do from a direct TP once you've killed Brutus. I do it multiboxing 3 accounts and I explained exactly how I do it but I guess I should have been clearer, you need a higher lvl to make this quick Make...

It's kinda the same situation D3 was in, the servers are really shitty during euro primetime and early US EST, but the rest of the time it's fine. I currently play like euro day time and I never have an issue. Khane on the grinding spots, generally people grind The Ledge in act1, Western...

Don't really like alt F4 either, but never had to use it anyway, other than to escape a bug, the one where you can't move/attack anymore but you can still open portals, chat or get killed by mobs. Weird bug, just alt F4d out cause I couldn't even enter the portal I opened. Out of all my...

Well good ones can obviously be sold to players, but most of the rest you just vendor. Matching items is stupidly annoying unless you use the chrome addon to do it for you, but the issue you run into is the lack of space and shit, not worth it imo when a lot of rares even give you alch shards...

Well I've been grouping with EK people in Felshrine merciless to farm and they don't seem to run out of mana ever, but all of them have leveled clarity and possibly other stuff I don't really know. What I know is Mana Leech is shit until you get a solid DPS. I'd recommend lvling Clarity and...
