Thank you in advance. IIQ (from standard/hc) and IIR, and general mf on headpiece, rings and jewelerly, as well as MF uniques (aurseize, perandus, goldwyrm etc. ) that's really it... just stack it. Don't forget to put cull on setup if doing it in parties.

Will make a new char and post progress again when i'm around the same level as i was. ... Sorry to hear that, yeah... happened to me three times so far, mostly with 60+ lvl chars... like I invested all my funds (about 10ex) one time in nemesis league (last hc league) with el. buzzsaw and died in sarn city wp. XD Take care and have fun! GoranH. " todin wrote: Just managed to get throught Cruel in Invasion, so i'm doing a little feedback. Before anything, thank you for your build. Just awesome. So easy to follow. Must say i had no problem at all. I just took all your advice and it went damn well ^^ I managed to get my hands on a Q Flame Totem and it really helps. When i changed some gear to max resist for Merceliess, i decided to loose some hp for Aurseize and get some IR. ... I'll be glad to answer any questions anyone could have. I'll probably go for this build at the beginning of the next Hc 4 month League since it's cheap and effective and can easily stack some IR&IQ to get some currencies fast for other chars. Thanks for the feedback, glad it did fine for ya. Stay safe and have fun! GoranH.

If you already have it, sure go blasting with it, might even just purely use Searing Bond if ya wish... but in general, if you're thinking of buying it. I much prefer getting a cheap wand + shield combo and saving up for something like Cloak of Defiance. :) Hope that helps, GoranH.

" chochom wrote: Hey GoranH, thanks for the awesome guide. If you are still interested in Feedback here is my impression: To play hardcore, expecially without money, it's clearly the best build I have played yet! It is really strong and has great survivability. ... DPS seems fine, but I am a little worried about having to little defense. In particular against fast attacks with high physical or chaos damage. Thats why I am going for MoM. Actually, if I were to reroll this character I would probably take a witch because I find the Templar starting area a little bit uneffective. For example like this: MoM+IR+grace(aura nodes!) in combination with AA should help a lot to survive damage spikes. Well let me give ya my thoughts on it... No aura nodes, IR is fine if going MoM so you could care less about gear choices and can use double flasks granite/evasion flask and if using grace aura... Aura nodes, for 4points why not. It's an option, but I'd rather go block build with Cloak of Defiance and templar block nodes, 'cause you'd get spellblock as well which is way more helpful than armor. As for armor you can also use blind on totems and even with it faster proj... or even IC + Enduring combo... I'm not really a fan of armor, but it does provide some consistency and error tolerance, but for me... meh. Anyhow thanks for feedback. Have fun! GoranH.

When I gain some good items, I'll aim to reach higher defensuve characteristics and more dmg(now I have about 1000 dps) Glad you're having fun. Keep at it and take care! GoranH. " Arskalol wrote: Hi GoranH! Thanks for this awesome build. I'm not big fan of these guides and someone elses maked builds, but after 2 rips and one week left in charity race, this seemed to be best option to go for. I'm pretty glad that I chose this, because this is pretty fun and good build. I managed to get 80lvl in that week what was left and i have been played with this char little bit in Invasion, currently lvl 83. Levelling was really smooth with this and i didn't had any issues. This build is really cheap to gear to have decent dmg and survivability. I took also fire trap for shitty packs, like voidbearers and lightning thorns. Glad to hear it did well for you. Thanks for the kind words... as for "shitty packs" yeah guess fire trap could do fine as well, since firedmg. That's a nice suggestion. ;) I mostly guessed searing bond for it, fire trap might be as good or better... if you could test dmg numbers and links I'd appreciate it as I don't have internet access atm.

Ofc I will hang around, but regarding the progress: no more updates anytime soon. :3 I did make another summoner and have few interesting melee concepts in work.... or had. But the summoner I made was just as successful and had maybe bit more potential but was more tedious 'cause shopping list, and you having to take care of your minions. If interested PM me about it, and I'll describe in short the build, items and general tree/gameplay of it. " ikki1349 wrote: Hello, Thank you for this fantastic guide. This way to play is the best i've ever tried. I've started my character at the end of the 2 week charity race and now i'm at level 71. I've just killed merciless Dominus solo. Leveling was very fun and now I feel very safe. My character built with this build is the 6st character I started in Invasion and is the only one still alive. Some of my stats : - 2980 Life - 73 / 77 / 75 / -48 resistances I run level 16 Clarity, Discipline and Arctic Armour and have - 1248 mana / 925 unreserved - 232 mana regen/sec And here is my gear when i've killed Dominus : Spoiler I have to say that before I went to Dominus i had a 5L Armour/ES body chest with 3 Res 30+ and HP; at this moment i couldn't run a high level Arctic Armour because not enough mana regen (even with Discipline). So i was running Clarity / Grace / Arctic Armour level 11. Then I got a 4L Cloak Of Defiance, I lost HP, DPS, and elemental resistances are not capped anymore. I don't run Grace anymore because now i use Clarity / Discipline and level 16 Artic Armour; and with MoM I feel so much safer. The Scepter Of God was really easy like that; so much easier that when I ran to it in normal and cruel difficulties. Cloak Of Defiance is really a masterpiece of this build. The survivability is good without it; but with it, it is really awesome! Thank you again! -and sorry for my bad english Thanks for the feedback... as for CLoak... yeah you lose some hp/res/armor/evasion but MoM aspect of it and mana regen more than make up for it. It's still the only unique I really recommend to get for the build if you got currency, it's not required but really adds to survivability. As for engrish don't worry, it's not my primary language either. ;) Have fun, GoranH. " Banev wrote: Hi. First of all nice build and thx for the guide. I dont play much in new leagues, cause I have quite some treasures in Standard, anyway I wanted to complete at least few challenges and I did it with this build. Second: unfortunately due to desynch and bugs during the 2week charity race I gave up, but nevertheless I did manage to get with this build till end of Normal selffound and solo. In Ambush I died some times, but only to desynch and bugs. Today I died first time in Bazaar, some easy map. I died because I was dumb and get stunned by blue skeleton Archers. In this map I killed 3 exiles, Sandro Blooddrinker was hard, but doable, and the whole map run was quite fast. Only was able to do so, because I bought the MoM chest. here is my tree and my gear (all selffound, aside from Rathpith and MoM chest, all gems selffound): Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAAnEC4wSzBVsOPBDMFE0UcRZvGYUaOBpsHwIkqij6KU8qEyqNK7YsnCynLR82xTbYNulBh0SrRZ1G10kbSbJKxFWuVcZZ81orXcZgbWh0bRlyqXhpeqp-WX_Ggh6Cm4LHgziHZYjxi4yMRo9Gj6aQVZeFmuCcLZ2Ana6iAKKjo_KnCKeEp5Ssqq-3tQS3PriTwBrB88auz2XQ0NH92CTaYtrd2wvd8-Fz42rkIuoY6-7sOOxV7SD2rvcy-JP46_no_go= Spoiler next steps on the tree are goind to Unwavering Stance and the witch starting area, thankfully I got few respec points left from quests. So, now to my questions: First: can I do Atziri with this build? Second: If I cant do Atziri with this build right now, what can I do to kill her? Third: what peace of gear should I upgrade first? Fourth: nothing to do with the build, but how the fuck can I find/craft the damn strongbox with the "of Singularity" suffix? Is it able just with Alterations? Thank you and goodluck to all. Forgot my stats: lvl 78. 3.5k life, resis are: ~65%, ~25%, 77%, -13%, auras are: clarity and purity of ice, I have 1.9k Mana, like 1.1k unreserved. dps: 2.09k with LMP 140 mana regen/s Totem builds can do Atziri, but as with all tough content... really recommended solo, cause you can't leech so need portals if it gets rough. No can't do uber atziri. If you can't check my video for upgrades and few gems/mechanics you could use. Third.. again check the vid and advanced gearing section. (Sorry don't have time atm to check gear... in a hurry as of time writing this) :( I never played ambush, but from what I saw... you either get lucky funding, or alt the f* out of some random strongbox for chance of it. Not sure if "X" strongboxes are level based. Just check if that the case, either way go for high lvl 60+ or so as I believe most content is surely unlocked at those levels. Take care, GoranH.

Also: finally understand that Cloak of Defiance gives not 10% but MoM+10% = 40% damage to mana. Sounds like a really good option. That is, if I had that item. Update to my progress: I am now lvl68 and have just cleared merc a2. So far I don't even have to reload an area.

Personally, I only had problems with M'gaska, the Living Pyre (tried a few times, but its not worth it, so just tp and new instance - if on map.. well ignore, or if you can't, then new map). I also ran into a Kamaq, Soilmaker on a 66 dunes at the beggining of the mapping game and it was pretty risky, I ended up logging, because as he went underground he kept coming out right next to me in melee range, ingoring my totems.

Greetings - great guide - very cheap, so awesome for poor people like me. Just wanted to drop a line to say that I just finished Cruel Invasion using your build. First time I've made it this far, so thanks for the help. Thinking back - a few things I'd say. - I got a little confused at one point on whether to go after Ironwood or not. I ended up picking it up after the life nodes to the northeast of the Templar start. This seemed to work fine. - I think that Searing Bond needs a little love in the guide. It's still the best you have against single targets - especially ones that aren't moving around a lot. I used it quite a bit through Cruel. That said, I nearly died fighting Dominus because I thought I could burn him down with Searing Bond in the last stage before the summoned mobs got out-of-hand. I was sadly mistaken, and I had to restart the Upper Sceptre due to the chaos. In the end, I just kept two flame totems up, flammability, and kept moving in circles around him to reduce the incoming melee damage. For those interested, my stats for Dominus: - 2.2k HP - 1.1k mana - capped resists - tooltip DPS on flame totems of 498. - 1100 armor - 39 mana per sec without clarity, running Arctic Armor level 5 all of the time Well... off to Merciless. Thanks again!	Posted by Pozyx#0959 on Jun 15, 2014, 10:19:16 AM Quote this Post
Well... just died in Cruel, upper scepter of god due to 'fuck you game froze for a couple of seconds while i was rushing to fight Dominus'. My stats were 400DPS with flame totem (with GMP/FC/FP), 2.1KHP, 77/77/77 res, Arctic armour level 9, 120 mana regen/s... Stats were so low because of, well, keeping a lot of low-level uniques that gives increased rarity.	Posted by Tomark#0066 on Jun 16, 2014, 6:14:37 AM Quote this Post
Level 66 currently and loving it. Running L14 AA, discipline, and L13 clarity and never run out of mana. Got a CofD for 13c and it is awesome. Quick question on the math of your option one final tree. Instead of taking the shamanistic fury circle (16% and 8% totem damage, and 4% cast speed), wouldn't the 3 witch starting nodes that give 4% cast speed and 2x 16% spell damage be better? Maybe it's a game mechanics thing that I dont understand. Thanks for the awesome guide. This is the highest level char I've ever had, and it's a lot of fun.
