1.3 The Community's Molten Strike, Face Melting Build!! 1h+shield and 2h variants available
" because you can buy a much better 2h DPS for a small amount of chaos blowing Rigvald's out of the water. poe.xyz search. http://poe.xyz.is/search/ikatasitahaihi you can buy a 300 to 350 pDPS 2h for 1 to 5 chaos. A perfect Rigvald's isn't even 250 and you will pay the same price. That was just what was available for buyout now and online at the same time. I didn't even check what 375 or 400dps were running.

" RT means we never miss, grabbing the shock nodes means + Three dragons means 20% of the time we are shocking. This combo free's up a tremendous amount of points vs trying to stack enough crit to have a decent chance at shock as well as having to spend points boosting accuracy. |

Could someone help me with this build. I'm totally new and I'm trying to figure out how to get more damage and survive a bit more. I think my armor isn't all that great either. I'm trying to follow the build to the t but I'm real squishy.
I hope I'm saying this correctly but Iron Reflexes would turn Evasion gear basically into Armor gear right? The DPS that comes up on the game is about 4k. Is that low for a level 61?

" Hi Mimichi4, you are correct. Iron Reflexes does turn evasion into armor. 4K is what a decent 1h puts out at that level. You should be closer to say 6K tool tip. Just also remember that our tool tip will always be much lower then other skills since our projectile damage is not shown. First thing I noticed is you have a lot of gear without HP. Try and get dual resists + HP on your items. This is sufficient to cap resists and give you a very nice HP pool to map with, and cheap. Next, you are only running a 289 pDPS 2h. Time for an upgrade. You can easily buy a new one for a few chaos orbs. This should be quite easy to do, especially at 61. I just started a new character rolling fresh for the race, just hit 25 and already have 5 chaos from trading. Until you can get your gear squared away run CWDT + Enfeeble if you can or manually cast it instead of flammability. Last edited by Kartikdon#5867 on May 17, 2014, 1:36:30 PM

" Great man. Thanks so much for the help. Sorry if I sound noobish but I went to that poexyz. What does pDPS stand for? Other than that I will be upgrading. I really appreciate it. Silly question. Does Molten Strike work almost like Ethereal Knives in a sense that they're projectiles? But yeah, I'm in poexyz now working some trades. Thanks so much. :D |

" Oh, right, now I get it, thanks for the answer ^^ I have another question though. Exactly how good is Point Blank? To be more specific, is it worth it to go all the way over there for basically just the IR and PB keystones or would be stacking increased physical damage be just as viable? The reason being that going PB pretty much chains me to a Molten Strike build (or maybe Spectral Throw if I just remove PB again).

" Yes its totally worth it. Its pretty much a flat 45 to 50% damage boost at all times. It won't update your tool tip but it makes your projectiles go from hitting like trucks to hitting like tanks. |
|
" The projectile sense yes. But really molten strike works more like Lightning Strike. Ethereal knives only scales off +%physical damage. Molten Strike scales of +% Physical Damage and +% weapon physical damage. Last edited by Kartikdon#5867 on May 17, 2014, 3:06:17 PM

" That's what confusing me. I see Geofri's Baptism and then I see a Voidhome Dread Maul and the pDPS is much better on the Voidhome. The two state increased Physical Damage on them. I'm confused now. Both the maces I pulled them up under pDPS and the Geofri is 200% and the VOidhome is 150% both increased phys damage but both give different pDPS. The Geofri gives 184pDPS and the Voidhome gives 380pDPS. Throws me off completely when trying to search poexyz. |

" Uhm... that's because the "% Increased Physical Damage" on a weapon only increases the physical damage of that weapon. It's a local modifier ^^ IGN Riddericke ▪ UTC+1 ▪ SHOP 498896 Last edited by riddie#7288 on May 17, 2014, 4:05:34 PM
