For the guys racing with this, what are you using for single target vs Invaders you don't want to get near?

Movement speed.

Hi,

I've started a char with Molten strike, as scion.

Build:

ATM:


Plan with Point blank node (94 points):



Without:



Gems:


Auras:
Anger + Discipline or Purity of elements


I have many hesitations now.

1) Is Point Blank an absolutly needed node? If I pick a Point Blank gem, I'll have many points (14) which i can use for something else, like increase fire dmg (Arsonist near BM and Immolation near witch tree)

2) I have some uniques that may work very well with this build: The Three Dragons and Oro's Sacrifice. But I think it's not interesting to wear them together. This post tells many things about The three dragons, but there's nothing about Oro's Sacrifice. Someone have test this weapon?

3) Avatar of Fire or not? With Oro's? Without Oro's?

4) Should I try to get an Hrimmor's resolve if I don't wear The Three Dragons?

Thanks for your attention

Hi Garbapp.

1)Take the passive node, it is worth it.

2)Oro's is a bad choice. Your weapons need physical damage for the projectiles to scale.

3)AoF is a nice DPS boost but it does increase your reflect damage, only a bit.

4)Its a decent choice but Three dragons will boost your dps far more with shock stacks. Keep both on hand and you can use Hrimm when you are up against the few bosses that can have status effects.

I've been using 5L:

Molten strike
Weapon elemental damage
Multistrike
Life gain on hit
Faster attack.

as a 2h sword user, I find it hard to play without the faster attack gem. (for survivability reason)

I'll probably have to go for nodes that gives increase attack speed ><

at your level try Life Leech, should give you better returns if you have a decent weapon

I need a vote here.

Two hander or Sword and board?

Don't need the analysis, just your gut feeling.

Thanks!!!

sword and board... As the author with countless testing I don't think you need any more of a reason :) You really don't need the dps from 2h and if you get a Doryani's Catalyst (3 or 4ex 1h) your dps will be like that of a 2h. I really feel my dps with my 2h is overkill.

Hey guys,

I just returned from taking a long break from PoE, playing RoS during the time until it getting bored again. I pickup the build, and has some fun with it, although I somehow feel squishy with ~1700 HP at A3 Cruel.

Has anyone tested the molten strike with the Galvanic Hammer node ? The +18% physical damage with maces, and +20% elemental damage with maces looks so promising there... Although the +accuracy and cri. multiplier is a waste here, the +30% phys, in total, and +20% elemental is very interesting...

And it's not that far from the Static Blows :D.


PS. I have a few 5L, but too bad they are all DEX/INT ... D:

Is concentrated effect just for synergy with pointblank (less projectile spread) or does it actually increase the individual damage of each projectile as well?
