Hi guys, what should I change if I wanna play with this build in hardcore?

Add shield, maybe add life if you're not comfortable, remove from inefficient cast speed nodes.

for sure a shield. I play this in softcore with a shield because Im generally a defensive minded player and a death is just unacceptable to me, if I was playing in hardcore there would be no question at all, shield all the way. Personally I like having life on a shield so I use an ev/es hybrid but a saffells frame wouldnt be a bad choice imo.



reflect is def purity of lighting and a topaz, the pol should stop u from nuking urself before u realise whats happening and then the topaz flask will allow you to just pour lightning into a reflect pack and take it down.

Well, they don't. In my almost 2 years of playing PoE, I've never dropped an ex.
I think you just have to farm and sell your stuff alot, which I don't really manage that well either. :P
In the past I always tried to chance expensive items, which sometimes worked. Would never have gotten an Alpha's Howl otherwise for example, as I don't exactly save up my currency :P

the drop rate on ex is really small. It depends how many hours you play to some extent and how many monsters you are squishing per hour of it. I have found a reasonable amount of them but then I play a stupid amount of hours. 2 years sounds harsh man, I think ur due something soon, for sure.

Ive never bought a gem though, Im not sure Fox bought gems either, we just found them and leveled them, gcp recipe for gcps, vaal orb recipe for vaals, level, flip, level, vaal, probably rip, sometimes u get lucky. +1 linked staff with enlighten is never a bad idea



in a 1 month league this sort of gem heavy build is always going to be harsh, its a time investment build. Leveling gems is a good way to make exalts though, I sold a spare 21 AA for 18ex recently and a spare 21 Arc for 20ex. Imo grind it out, level those gems and let them make you currency, rather than spending your currency to buy them. Patience and perseverance, and a sense of humor when this happens..

Hey how's it going. With the new patch and all, how do you feel about spell echo on arc? I couldn't really find a suitable substitute, so I took out lightning penetration on the helmet and put spell echo to test it out. The result was unclear. What it felt like was that I was downing packs of monsters quicker, unless they had lightning resist, in which case it took a lot slower. I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks.

Passive skill tree build



for hc players if interested. change cloak of defiance for a serious ar/es or ev/es armor with life resists etc and take IR and MoM in tree. very tanky and resist in hc.


made this gear in 3 days its still crappy but the dps feels 1 shoting normal mobs lol. for bosses im still trying some things with vaalspark. with the right support combination it 1 nukes every boss i think.






EDIT: ok after testing vaalspark on many mapbosses with different combinations i would change the spell totem + arc. instead put in your armor in this priority vaalspark + GMP + spellecho + ligthningpenetration + addedlightning + increased duration.

THIS will 1 shot almost every mapboss ( dual mapbosses are cheese aswell :) )

would this work with a 2h mace?

I took out lightning penetration on the helmet too, and put spell echo to test it for moment. I can't stop using this config (3k more dps and downing packs of monsters quicker, i often use elemental weaknes lvl. 19).

Is this of any use to ninja build?
