Perz' Reave Shadow

Having a damn hard time staying alive. Not the best PC or ping and I seem to just 'explode' all the time with lag and desynch...

Cant run 2 auras so I run around with discipline.
Ice breathing monsters in docks rape me something savage.
Gold circles on the floor = instant exploda-death.
Shocking mages in the battlefront = run away or whirl into them and hope to kill them before death.

New player with little/no currency and I was wondering what should I do/change/buy/respec from here?

Help much appreciated.

OK thanks,

U dont need to level cwdt if u want to use it with a levelledpcoc , the level requirement for cwdt is only for skill gems not support.
So u can leave it unlevelled unless u want the dmg/chill from ice spear.


oh really? that's nice then

i tested it and i didnt like it. already said something about it 1-2 pages before.
btw cwdt still cast as often as on evasion. just not as constant.


Well but is that intended to work only on skill gems not on support? According to the patch notes "Cast On Damage Taken: The level requirement of gems augmented by Cast on Damage Taken may not exceed the level requirement of the Cast on Damage Taken gem." it sounds (for me) that it should be for every. I don't wanna risk it and will just wait with lvling those until a few days have passed and if or if not this will be patched.

But if it's only for skill gems and not for support gems that would be really neat. At least for pcoc. Still leveling the one for Enduring Cry and Vulnerability right?

Okay so no IR then. Probably have missed that, sorry! Really love the guide and the time you took into it to make it even better over the time being :)



I understand where you are coming from and an additional nerf could be a possibility. However the ingame tooltip for cwdt does say "This gem can only Support Skill Gems of level x or lower". This is also stated on the wiki http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cast_when_Damage_Taken

All in all i think the pcoc gem isnt that expensive and i would just level it. Scouring a cwdt gem to level 1 is more expensive then buying a new pcoc. You dont need to level gmp anyway because it doenst do anything more for us when levelled.

First off, get a better shield. The defensive and energy shield boosts from shield are massive with this build. You should be able to find a shield with at least 200 ES on it without any problem and it will make a huge difference in ES pool. You should also try to get capped resistances at 75 if you don't have it yet.

Second, after you get your shield you should have over 2000 ES with discipline. I would suggest taking Ghost Reaver and Vaal pact after that. Ghost reaver and vaal pact are actually good as soon as your ES pool is bigger than your HP pool.

Third, with the 5% reduced mana node you have taken you should be able to run hatred and discipline with a reduced mana gem without having mana problems.

Didn't saw that earlier, might be just been added. But yeah, guess you are right. and 20% higher chance to get a power charge is probably worth the trouble :D Thanks

Basically what perz0r said. But basically the Boots, Gloves and of course the shield can be upgraded ES wise. As he said you should aim for over 2k ES and get GR and VP.

lvl 1 cwdt + lvl 1 ice spear + lvl 20 pcoc + lvl 20 gmp work together!
the cwdt lvl requirements just matter to the active skill casted, not to the supports.

Hey Perz!

I'm doing 66'maps now and it's going really well. But I got problems with the unique bosses. They can relly hit me dangerously and I sometimes can't leech the dmg back (mostly notice it when I loose my frenzy charges since I don't kill them that fast).

Is there any advice (except more dps and higher ES probably?)?
~3k ES, ~6k DPS (Well I changed now and got over 8k dps, so have to see if this might change something).
Eye of chayula is a must have because by removing stun you also remove the block recovery time, and thats make a huge difference.

And 3K ES is too low to tank spike damage of boss, thats all.

This is just the huge difference i don't see. i'm actually running without and i'm really fine. I don't feel the block recovery and don't see when I'm "stun"
