Hi,
I made it to lvl 76 on onslaught; it goes well :) And with some patience it will get even better as my gems will level up. I wanted to post my gear and to get maybe some general tips and directions to improve etc. I also have some specific questions: - is my armor good enough to attempt to 5L it? I tried to spent all my fusings and this 3L + 2L is bets I got. - is helm good enough to try to 4L it? is weapon good enough to try to 3L it? - im not able to find a better shield; I was thinking to trade for one; I have about 10 chaos at the moment. - recommendations on everything else would be nice. - i found a Vaults of Atziri map; should I run it? or sell it? Here it's my equiment: Thank you for your advice :) |

" It is best to trade for your items instead of crafting them. First for upgrade you should use http://poe.xyz.is/ (change settings for the league you are in) Your armour is 1 time exaltable, if you can get the "Local energy shield" 107-135 ES prefix you are talking for almost 800-900 ES armour. Max on the % of ES is 176 if you can get perfect rolls. Yours is at 136. It does have potential. Check to see if you can buy a better one for cheap. Definitely it has good mods on it. It just missing the base ES. I don't know if you can afford eternals exalted. I wouldn't try it unless you are rich. You should never try to 5L a 5 socket item. Might as well spend some jewelers and get 6 sockets and try to 6 link it. Stop when you get a 5 link. I would check the http://poe.xyz.is/ see if you can find a better armour for a good price. For shield you should search for Archon kite shield. It has base 24 resistance. You don't need spell damage or critical damage or any other DPS mod for that matter. Look for an archon or angelic shield (has lower ES though) For the map I would sell it or you can run it and charge 1 GCP fee for the other portals. Thats what I do when ever I find this map. You will get guarantee 5 GCP and the chance to run the map and get something good from it. I don't know the rates for onslaught, but I am pretty sure people wont mind to pay 2-3 chaos to run that map. For the head, again, search to see if you can buy a better one and link that one. If not go ahead and 4L that. You really should use http://poe.xyz.is/ on a daily basis when you are upgrading your gear. Also poetradechat.com/search.php?search=kaom&i=on&league=sc is great to use.

All right, thank you, I'll try to use those sites. Do you contact the people directly online or do you just post in their thread?

Started an anarchy character w. this build a week or so ago, and thus far, I'm quite impressed w. the kill speed, safety, and overall "fun" involved w. letting minions kill everything for you. So, thank you for posting it.
I'm most of the way through merciless at this point, and am looking for some feedback from the masses. I'm using this character, ideally, as an alt MFer to fund my main, so I'll be running a lot of Docks, Lunaris, and some blue 66's and 67's for the foreseeable future. Not sure if I ever plan on gearing it to run higher end maps (that's something I'll revisit later). Feel free to comment on this plan as well as the build, gear, and questions below. MY GEAR (for reference purposes - I know I need better gear eventually):
Spoiler
My Passive tree (current): My Passive tree (planned): THE PLAN & QUESTIONS: 1. I am currently using a Reaper's Pursuit in my weapon slots for the +rarity bonus in order to stack as much IIR/IIQ on as possible. I've considered the new main hand mace (Mon'tregul's Grasp) with a +ES Shield; but am not sure I need it, and would hate to throw away 30%-40% rarity for defense. Has anyone used this new mace yet? Do you feel the kill speed & zombie resist/life bonus is worth the loss of rarity? 2. I'm planning on going CI, but have yet to click the nodes - that'll likely happen sometime before sewers on Merciless. Does anyone have any experience farming low-level (docks / lunaris / crappy 66 and 67 maps) without CI while going low life *without* Shavrone's? Seems like a bad idea... but +100% rarity on boots seems nice. Debating this, but will still likely go CI. Thoughts? 3. Spectres... I'm not using them yet. I'm using Zombies in a 4L (Zombie, Multistrike, Melee Splash, IIR), and a Skele Totem in a 4L (Spell Totem, Skeles, Minion Damage, Fast Casting), and I abuse the crap out of minion instability (which is the whole point of the skele totem for bosses). I have 5, 4-links to work with... and am using them as follows: 1 for zombies, 1 for skeles, 1 for curses (enfeeble, temp chains, reduced mana, increase area), 1 for auras (discipline, wrath, clarity, reduced mana (also have haste tied to a reduced mana in a 4L+2L (reaper's pursuit))), 1 for Arc (Arc, fast cast, mana leech (and lightning warp tied in there for lack of anywhere else to put it)). I don't have any place to jam spectres in there that makes sense - this is the one majopr reason I'm considering going shield + main hand, getting the 2, 3-links would make life easier (one could be arc, the other curses). Any ideas here? I don't have the fusings / other currency available to 6 link the reaper's anytime soon... so lets pretend I'm working with either 5, 4-links (if I go Reaperh's Pursuit), or 4, 4-links and 2, 3-links (no Reaper's, instead shield + main hand). 4. If I use spectres, should I add "cull" to my zombies so the IIR boost gets applied to more kills? If yes, which gem should I drop? 5. Open... any suggestions any experienced summoners have, fire away. Again, I don't know if this'll be my end-game mapping character anytime soon, if ever, so please focus replies around this being a solo farm character designed to fund another toon. This has turned into a massive wall of text, so anyone who made it this far, thank you! Cheers, Brithlem Domination IGN: BrithlemPS Last edited by Brithlem#3543 on Sep 16, 2013, 10:47:32 AM

" In game, on there thread and forum PM. Most people tend to like it best when you post in there threads because they get a free bump. Depends how badly you need the item. IGN Riokar | My guides

" Yea, it is a wall of text :/. I ll make the answer short. If you can stay alive with using repears pursuit go for it. If not you can always weapon slot switch for rares bosses. The mace is not needed, you got less zombie to hide behind. It has already been discusses in this topic few pages back. If you are not planning to run maps then there is no need to go CI. Docks (which u shouldnt farm there) and lunaris 2-3 dont have chaos dmg. Go low life for teh IIR boost from wandertrap plus the extra auras. Also why farm level 66-67 maps when u can farm lunaris lvl 68? Piety drops ilvl 71 items IIRC. If you cant afford 5-6 link and u planning to use reapers pursuit just link arc + faster casting + IIR + IIQ and try to get as many culls as possible. Rares and bosses are 100% easy to cull, blue and normal mobs a bit harder. If you are going low life with more auras you will need to drop the specters. Skeleton do not need 4L. 3L is enough. Or put both in a 4L item with 2 support gems with out spell totem. Of course this depends on how many auras you need to run. Run discipline, haste, hatred, anger, wrath, purity (if you need the res but with no shield I dont think you ll have enough res) or something else, you can spend 3 skill points to get Zealot oaths and grab the 1% life regen from templar and run vitality instead. Drop clarity, its really not needed. IGN Riokar | My guides

So Piety just dropped for me with some great rolls, almost perfect.
I did some runs with it to see how it feels. Not that great, 4 zombies kill a lot less slower than 8 zombies. Also since the explode monsters you don't have any corpses to summon new zombies or specters :/. Pretty lame. But you CAN do this if you don't mind the hustle. Use the scepter to summon 4 zombies then switch to your old weapon and summon 4 more. This way you can have 4 super zombies and 4 normal zombies. With all that extra health and resistance they don't die often. Add flasks "of animation" in the equation and you pretty much can keep them alive at all times except from some bosses or some very weird map mods. Draw backs are, if you use the scepter on your switch slot you can't use Reapers pursuit. If you keep it in your inventory you loose 3x2 space. I see this getting patched soon enough, unless GGG treats it like Righteous Fire. The weapon is definitely not needed though and adds very little to the build (with the "exploit") for its current price. IGN Riokar | My guides

" I heard Mark mentioning that the slot switching will be patched in the future. I am not sure about Item swapping in for minion stats. It will probably be like auras where the gem is updated every time you go into a new instance which means swapping within the instance is still possible. am taking the slot switching to the extremes right now lol. tabula for a free zombie or spectre 6-L -> 6-L chest for a 5 link arc/coldsnap Raise first 4 zombies with Grasp + Sidhe, Raise next 4 zombies with Chober + Sidhe Raise BM's with Chober + Sidhe. Probably going to be patched in the future don't know how soon thou. Enjoy it while it lasts. @On the subject of Grasp, its basically an infernal blow. The explosion doesn't chain so mobs killed by your zombies infernal blow will still leave corpses. The Extra damage is very nice when your zombie last hits a beefy target. I am unsure if any support gems will work on it am guessing the game treats it like the zombies are actually using the skill infernal blow. If your looking to buy one i would prioritize the resistance roll over the damage roll.

Talking about spectres u said
" What do u mean by that ? how can they have less iiq/iir than zombies ? |
|
" This should only apply to spectre with degeneration damage. For some reason IIR/IIQ gem on them don't work. (unsure if its fixed yet). IIR/IIQ on gear, however does work.
