Right, you got the resist nodes in the Marauder tree. Im using the Armor there, that explains why i couldnt see you being capped.

To be honest, I didn't even realize those armor nodes existed. I upgraded my gear/jewels and specced out of the resist nodes

But he said the opposite ? He said the Fire damage is mandatory and inc aoe or life is second option . Basicly meaning the stat your jewels have to have is fire damage . I think you misunderstood ?

Yes, he said fire damage was mandatory, then aoe damage. I was saying that due to the double dipping, it should be fire damage then total damage, not the aoe damage.

Nice Build. But I´m playing Chieftain in Hardcore Perandus.
Playing without EE...
Im playing maps with + fire resist and all other "nasty" mods...
The damage is fine without EE, at the Moment I Play with tabula Rasa, wasted now about 200 fuse and no 5-6 link on quill rain. After the first 5-6 Link on Quill rain I will buy another one for single dmg.

Im playing at the Moment with:
EA - GMP - Slower Proj - Reduced Duration - Fire Pen - Chance to Ignite.

I will drop Chance to Ignite when I hit 5 Link on Quill rain, if 6 link I will go for Empower. (found one yesterday).

My single will be:
EA - Conc - Slower Proj - Reduced Duration - Fire Pen - Empower.

6100+ life with Tabula Rasa.... and an insane amount of life reg because chieftain :).
5 Endu charges as well.

Interesting idea with chieftain, also about the second quill for single target. Also this class still gets life leech which allows you to skip the life leech gem as well.

However as a chieftain I would worry a bit about enemies that cannot be ignited (atziri) and when there are little\no adds in encounters.

I'm going to level my scion a bit further. I still need to do the last trial so I can see how effective onslaught is. Perhaps I do a reroll later if I feel another spec might be better, just really difficult to choose between all of them.

I've made a chieftain spec > poeurl.com/zpc

Why all you skill that 40% more elemental dmg node in the passive? Is this worth taking? When you dont take RT you will miss a lot?

I love Rearguard but I only keep it on my item switch with my second quill rain for single target when I need it. I feel like most of the situations where I really need that additional tankiness I will be using the item switch anyways.

Instead I rock this bad boy for general clearing:



Surprised it isn't more popular... its great for clearspeed and I managed to buy that beauty for 15c. Then again 50% block with rumis up, heh.

I went Scion and Berserker + Raider. The frenzy charges can be a bit of a pain to keep up if you don't fit a frenzy in and occasionally shoot it off to keep them up but it is honestly still really nice. I definitely prefer Scion due to the additional aps/movespeed and extra jewels. Feels a lot more well-rounded, flexible and fluid. I also took a bit of a trek to grab dual curse. Enfeeble helps a lot and I didn't feel like running a unique for +1 curse was worth the cost of life/movespeed and being able to comfortably fit in the uniques I want to run late-endgame.

EA feels even better than it did during the prolif days to me now. Loving it.

Yeah I was rocking the same thing but with a diff mod (more life gain vs extra arrow)



It's seriously awesome... I just recently switched to Rearguard but I like the feel of Hyrri's Bite.

This build is wicked... perhaps the best and most fun build I've tried.

Any suggestions for my next moves? Currently level 68 sitting around 4.5k life.

This has been discussed a few times already in the last few pages of this thread. The fact that it is more instead of increased damage makes it really good. Also since we do allot of attacks it's quite easy to keep it up.

I found an EX yesterday, wonder if I should get a 5L quill rain with it or buy fusings \ something else (save for Kaoms). Been unlucky with fusings so far.

Strange that you went for the bottom jewel of the Scion instead of the right and also get harrier after it.

Also I would pick up the life nodes at marauder start before going into the armor\hp\regen wheel between marauder\templar, but I guess it matters little.

I went Kaoms before 5 link. Got one for 2ex (holy hell are they cheap nowadays) and honestly my damage didn't suffer at all at the tier of maps I was clearing. Honestly wouldn't have gotten much of a return at all out of the extra link due to how much damage I was already doing on those maps. Managed to get my 5l just in time for when I needed the additional damage... which was surprising because I went really, really dry on fuse.

Did any1 get Celestial Punishment seems like a really good option ?!
