If we gave up running DD and Desecrate, what would we run instead? "Im just Path of Exile-ing my way through college." -Me	Posted by LensHunter#0825 on Aug 23, 2014, 10:14:35 AM Quote this Post
Damn, I didn't know Desecrate stacked with Poison Arrow. I've been using Fire Trap in combination with Poison Arrow but I think I'm going to give Desecrate a try too. Actually I think I might try all 3 of them but that would take up a lot of sockets. Also, I feel spread pretty thin on points with this build because of the need for a lot of mana regen. Using a bow also means I can't get any mana regen on my weapon/offhand. The lack of life leech from a direct damage skill is problematic sometimes too. On the plus side I blazed through Merciless with this build faster than anything else I ever tried.

Can we get a skill tree for level 44 or so so we know what we need to start using the build? and maybe a level 60-70 tree as well?	Posted by desikida#4380 on Aug 23, 2014, 1:25:27 PM Quote this Post
" Taemon32 wrote: Lacking Clever Construction is only a minor annoyance. The high mana reg and lowered mana costs of skills means I can afford to throw out an extra trap or two here or there. Just place them such that they'll go off immediately. It's either that or sack Master Sapper and thereby the trap trigger radius node, which I'd rather have. I didn't expect projectile damage nodes to increase cloud damage. I'm pretty sure that mechanic wasn't true pre-patch, so taking Sniper is worth investigating, and it makes testing Point Blank mightily intriguing. Detonate Dead's damage suffered pretty hard for me, since the damage was largely based on corpse life I stopped leveling it at some point (mana issues maybe?). I think changing the gem setup by adding echo, and using Multiple Traps with Desecrate will be the way to go, rather than just sacking it. Thanks, I think I'll shift to something similar to your build regarding Clever Construction. Although I'm still worried about certain bosses. If I encounter a map or vaal totem boss, I'll probably have to turn around and flee. Projectile Damage, supposedly, did always work, but pre-patch there were no nodes worth taking. Whatever was Sniper's equivalent was not accessible like it is now, if a 20% existed at all. And, regarding Point Blank, I've read it affects only the attack portion, not the projectile damage, so the DoT cloud isn't affected unfortunately... And, I only just realized that detonate dead was nerfed to 8% corpse damage. I still think it's fine, I haven't had any problems, although the damage reduction is noticeable. I'm personally leveling the gem to eventually get the 20quality bonus. Casual Alt-Life is best Life.

Does anyone know if the Trap/Mine mod that Tora gives is a prefix or a suffix? "Im just Path of Exile-ing my way through college." -Me	Posted by LensHunter#0825 on Aug 24, 2014, 1:15:40 PM Quote this Post

Sup Y'all. Level 75 at Rampage so far. Gear's not the best but I do well in 70+ maps right now. Current passive tree: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMAAx4HHgj0DkgPqxGWFSAWvxvgHvAfQSaVKaUqTSzpMbM1kjY9PV8_J0GHRwZJE0lRSn1KyE4qTptRTFJTUq9TNVb6VytX2FuvYeJirGegZ_xqQ2sXbIxtGW1sbqp2gnfXfVt_K3_Ggh6HdongkA2TH5UglS6X9Ju1naqio6xHrUq00bXytz63dbtNvOq9gsBUwJzB88M6yAzKStDQ2L3Z4NsL3Q3dX9-K44TmWOkC8NX2_Pno_MX-Cv6P_rM= Findings: 1. Health is really hard to come by. My gear is alright in the health department but I still haven't broken 4k yet. I might have dedicated too many passive points to damage. I would say survivability is sort of poor right now. 2. DD really sucks. A lot. Thinking of replacing. 3. Damage is still amazing on Poison Trapper. Clear speed is intense. Everything melts. So all good. 4. Mana regen was nerfed HARD on the tree. I feel Shaper is 100% necessary / unskippable. Even if I get a 50% mana regen amulet I still don't think I can support a level 18 Arctic Armour. Open to ideas as always. Thoughts on next upgrade / build finalizing?

MoM and Arctic Armor have been unsustainable, but I don't have mana regen on all my jewelry yet. DD -does- suck IMO, thinking of dropping it for a Bear Trap/IIR/IIQ setup, maybe with Added Chaos Damage. Possibly even some type of freeze mine setup. As for your upgrades, I think you should have the Increased Trap Damage mod on your belt and quiver from the new master.	Posted by Vedocorban#7248 on Aug 25, 2014, 8:56:19 AM Quote this Post
