[1.0.5] - Lvl 100 Blastrophe's LA Life Based Crit Shadow w Video (Lioneyes or Voltaxic)

Just wanted to say that this is an amazing build, really nice detailled and futhermore very helpfull, not only the guide, whenever i had a question in game and i asked him , he always answered very kind; i cant wait to the 1.0 to see if it still rocks at is does atm.

Wanted to ask to you, in therms of damage, is it better look for Ias/WED/Added physical or Lightning?

And about defense with iron reflexes, it it better to have +%for evasion or armour, or it just does not matter?

Are gifts from above a good choice for rings PVE? or is it better to have one like this


And finllay (prob you already answered this , if so sorry) is it better to gear Power Charge on crit or Increased critical Strikes?

ty in advance

IAS WED and Flat lightning damage is what you should aim to have on your rings but on a quiver and amulet it is important to have ATLEAST crit multi 2nd tier which is bare minimum 54% and goes up to 66%.

To answer your question about IR its best to stack evasion as the build gets %evasion passives and each frenzy gives you 4% evasion as well so when it comes down to it evasion gear will ultimately give you more damage reduction than pure armour for this build.

For PvE Gifts from Above seems like a good idea but ONLY if you are capped on resists without a ring and in ele weakness thats impossible unless you have some crazy crazy resist gear.

To answer your PCoC question it is best to use that as 4 power charges not only gives you 200% crit but it also gives you that not only on the skill its attached to but all the skills you use i.e LA.

Which of my crap gear should I upgrade first? Trying to get better resists so I was thinking prismatic rings... every time I search poe.xyz I get not for sale items or for mirror service items :( Trying to keep life and dps on items while increasing resists. Any suggestions?!

Also, if you could mirror one item for this build... what would it be? I know there are two pretty good mirrorable rings. I'm sure there are some good belts, quivers, and ammys too though.

Viper Hold would be the only thing I would mirror because of the insane resists and awesome dmg it gives while not putting you at risk to reflect since it has flat lightning which is converted to chaos damage thru voltaxic. As for belt I have a mirrorable one so theres that if anything just focus on getting no dmg on your rings and just pure defense such as mass resist and life for now and upgrade as you go (thats what I did). As for quiver I got super lucky and found two which I used and crafted the one im using now.

Hi all,
first of all thanks to Blastrophe for this guide. I started as a normal mellee crit, but found it boring. Now with LA its pretty nice. Had a bit of DPS and Resist Problems but now i've got new rings and voltaxic and have nearly Doubled my DPS and maxed out my resist.

Here my gear atm:

Spoiler


Thought next i should get better boots and a new 5L(hopefully a voltaxic) or what you say i should do first?
Found some Quivers here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/539979 would you say one of them is good for this?

PS: Would you trade your maligors for my + a bit currency(dont want to use so many chroms for RRGB).

THX again

Id rather not trade out any of my current gear sorry. As for quivers you can find better ones than his all you need to get started is a quiver with good amount of crit multi and life also really good quivers may sell for cheap since some people undervalue them from time to time. Your boots do need to be upgraded same for the amulet you are better off with one that has life and double crit etc. You also want to try and upgrade your rings to have life since you aren't using Kaoms you don't have much +life anywhere else besides on a few pieces of gear.

Lots of upgrades and changes since my last post... finally got a hold of some decent gear. I still need some stuff, but this should hold me over for a bit. Currently keeping the ammy because it raises my INT enough to run wrath.

I've had a few close calls with death but those instant pots help out a lot. Some stupid exile in a map one shot killed me before I even noticed what it was.... -.-

So... what's your reasoning for switching to a rare headgear away from Starkonja's?
