Hi all, I am having trouble socketing per the original post build. This is because I have the Bringer of Rain. Please critique my build/gear choices:

My passive tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAAdwEswUtDH0OrRB_FE0UdRZvGNsZhRo4G_odFCFgJKol3yftKaUyCTKJNuk64TrtPC1AoEOcR35N41PfVcZX4livWNtZ82BLZU1mnm5pcLtyqXTtdPF35XgNerh673zZhNmE74jxj0aQVZkrm4OeuaIApBmmV6cIp4SpbqvFrFmsqq6TtPm18rc-uJO9gb6KvqfAGsT2xp7Grs9l0NDjaudj7DjvTvAf8kX22vrS_gr-jw==

I am having trouble with maps unless I use life leech. So I can't use added fire DMG gem in my helm. Also cannot see how I can run 7 auras..? I can run 6 currently. I wanted to go into mara tree for added survivability, but I already have 4.2k Life. I don't see myself reaching level 84 quickly enough. I was going to add into the Sword Physical DMG nodes, and Physical DMG/Block nodes next. Is this good? I'm unsure because of my survivability solo'ing maps ATM.

Please help with my next gear choices/passive skill tree choices! As well as providing critique for my gear/skill tree.

Thanks so much! Great guide.

Will anyone give me a little advice? Thanks.

*bump*

Which quality gems should I get? I didn't see anything about quality on the 1st page.

I died guys. Those damn merciless rhoas. Lol

I was wondering whether if I get a Kaom's Heart to get more HP, get a good 2H weapon, and drop some HP nodes to get DPS nodes, would it be possible to get both more HP and more DPS?

-Switch Multistrike for WED (u have hybrid weapons), so u will also deal a lot of ele dmg
-Switch Life leech for added fire - so you will have full dps.
-Find life leech from gear, like life leech amulet/gloves.
-Get better amulet than this Armageddon. Physical mods are alright but other stats are useless.

-Rest gear is good however u should fine some evasion or arm/ev boots and same thing with gloves.
-You can go for leather and steel or for Dervish now, to get more tankyness, cuz i think with bringer of rain ur dps is fine

To run 7 auras you need 10% reduced mana reserved + 19/20lvl reduced mana gem.

I didn't write about it because basically all Q gems like Faster attack, WED, Cleave, life leech etc are very good, except maybe fire damage, with 20% q it gives only like 400 dps

Sorry I think some1 shouldl've asked this question alrd, I just can't seem to find where it is though.

So I've been wondering why do you prefer using faster attack support gem over multistrike? The number in character panel shows me that multistrike does more dps so is there anything beyond me or maybe the mechanics?

* Also this is a bit off topic but it seems hard for me to find a decent 5L Ar/Ev or pure Ar chest (life + dual res or smt) in Anarchy so plz do pm me if some1 got an upgrade and is passing on your chest piece. TY!

just a little note for those struggling killing Piety (like i was) and some other unique mobs on maps etc.

I was wondering what I could do to make it better and easier to do piety runs and not to worry about dying. The answer was two things (thanks to Samzung and Sebah tips earlier in this thread):

1. Get two points in marauder tree that reduce crit damage by 15% each
2. Always use enfeeble on those bosses that hit very hard.

By combining 30% Crit Damage reduction from passive as well as 30% crit damage reduction from enfeeble i was no longer going down like crazy, just steady hits that life steal was getting back.

Before that with maxed resist and 60-80% damage reduction (depending on how many endurance charges i had up) i was getting easily two shot by Piety or unique boss on second floor.

Now both of those are so so much easier. Even with only 3k health (2.2k after reserving for auras - i know its too low but now all points go into health nodes and i am 74 so by level 80 i will have much more health), unique boss on second floor takes max 1/4 health per hit. I leach back more then he can damage me so i kill him almost every time (only time i was not able to kill him was when he had gold and three blue mobs around him and they were tearing me apart).

Piety - so so easy. for ice phase all you need is granite flask (or two) if you were unable to kill blue portals and with enough dps she just goes down.
One more trick i do for her is to swap Faster Attacks + Cleave for Dual Strike+Multi Strike. With my medium weapons (200dps and 250dps)i got almost 11k DPS and this heals me like crazy and melts her very quickly.

I am starting to do maps now and level 66-69 are easy if you redo special properties of them not to get some crazy mods.

I think now its time to grind to level 80 and just increasing life thru nodes i had to take back due to switching over to Crit Damage reduction nodes.

Can you please tell me how you link your gems to run 6 auras? I'm currently lvl 73 and only running 3 auras. (Grace, determination and purity/+cold damage)
Should I get rid of the dual strike by now?

You can check my linked gems in "Here is my gear" tab, it doesn't matter how you link them, u can link them how u want and almost everywhere except chest armour.

But i have my gems:
-Wrath and Grace with 1 free socket (for reduced mana gem) in my 1h axe
-Determination, Purity with Decoy totem and blood magic gem in my gloves ( i switch bm for reduced mana while runing auras)
-Hatred, haste with Anger + Portal (i switch portal for reduced mana)

Remember when u use chromatics orbs on some kind of gear, like for example - on pure evasion boots it will be hard to get 4x red sockets, etc

And... you know, i run grace, wrath, anger on hp, and my rest 4x auras % are on my mana.

Don't think I quite get it. You seem to have some gems that u say take hp, without blood magic.
Anyway, I cant run 3 auras on my hp on onslaught, barely 2 and I cant run 4 auras on my mana yet :-/
I've got lvl 17 reduced mana gem on 3 gems, 40/40/30%, can't a 4th one any time soon even though 10% reduced.
