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...

Most of my chars still use pots, rarely see a point in not using pots but sacrificing passives/sockets/auras(by lvling clarity) to achieve that. I mean, prepatch on softcore stacking 4-5diamonds sure, but since diamonds were removed what are you gonna stack anyway, nerfed granites? Seems...

It's been locked cause there's like a 150pages mega thread about matchmaking already, where a ton of people complain about team stacking, uneven matches and whatever the fuck not. Fact is, you play any matchmaking game solo in a team based game, you'll lose half your games or close to. It...

Alchemist increases flask efficiency, not their charge recovery rate. Only Warlord's Mark, belt mods and the Perpetual flask mod increases how much you get from killing mobs I believe, maybe something else I forgot. Passives for flasks increase the amount healed or how fast they heal. Anyway...

My issue with portals isn't the refilling flask. To be honest, that's pretty much necessary to even beat the bosses, there's no fancy health globes like in D3 or you can't buy 6stacks of health pots like in D2, your flasks only refill when you kill stuff so unless they add adds to every fight...

The loot system is harsh in pubs, but I don't really play pubs for loot, I play pubs for safety on progression content. I grouped for Vaal and grouped for Piety because being in a group is like 200%safer than trying to solo those, what with all the targets and shit. Piety was a joke in a group...

Well eventually, with the maximum ES nodes and the ES% stacking, even though it was nerfed, you should be able to reach 8-10k ES I think. Going CI at that point, dropping health nodes and investing into ES% nodes, you'd net a decent benefit from it plus the chaos immunity. However that's...

All the CI builds are prepatch CI, I wouldn't recommend doing anything CI with the current version until like 80 when you have very very good gear. Even then I think current CI isn't really worth it when you're so close to chaos resist nodes if you're going that way anyway. Since you drop all...

Yeah in a few levels you'll hit act3, you'll see ^^. On auras, when you log in, switch a skill to an aura, cast it, switch to another aura, cast it, etc, then switch back to your skills. You can level without auras on your bars. You might have to swap to the aura every now and then to recast...

Well the way to use EE imo is to use a totem of the opposite element and simply spam whatever. If you are set on using 2 elements, I'd do Infernal Blow on one side, Lightning Strike on the other. Mostly LS to clear trash mobs, maybe you get Molten Shell too so you can LS the mobs once with like...

For the content missing, they talked about it in the Gamespot interview, they said it was Act3 Ex(tended I guess?). They decided to cut a part of act3 to make the deadlines and shit and it's fine since Act3 is already pretty fucking big anyway, but they're going to add this soon, within a couple...
