Hello!

I'm starting red maps and this build is really great. No doubt the one that gives me the most fun.

That said, I'm relatively new (second character) in the game and I do not perfectly understand all the statistics: what makes rare scepters so beneficial compared to Doryani's Catalyst? The penetration of resistances? Because by reading the stats as is, I have trouble understanding.

Thank you again for this great guide for a beginner. :)

Hi,

Thank you for updating the MoM/EB version.

But I'm a bit confused... On the tree you didn't take EB, just MoM.

Are we not supposed to take both?

Sry if it's a dumb question, but will sure help me if you could clarify this please.

Thanks

Rares are superior because of the 'Physical damage as extra fire damage'. One of these mods roughly adds a 20% damage increase on top of the other mods. Resistance penetration is just the icing on the cake.

Just a sidenote:
Increased and reduced are additive in poe. So when yoi have 200% increased damage, another 30% will make it 230% total increased. Doryani's catalyst has high increased elemental damage, but we already stack a lot of it on the tree.

20% of Physical added as extra Fire is just super good, as it grants Added elemental damage comparable to the Hatred Aura, and we are using two of them.

I hope that clarified it, if you have any further questions, ask!
