2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version
|
I leveled the build from about 60 myself too, and early on it was rough. Grace helped out a lot recently with not being hit as often. More HP was obviously a bonus with the higher levels. Life Leech for me was a game changer im not really sure how Mathil and others manage to play properly without it. You don't NEED vaal pact straight away. But you won't die to reflect with it (unless you're running a -max resist map and overkill like a a lot). You will still need to use flasks for when you do get hit, I usually take a decent chunk but with more crit comes more survivability because with the leech everytime you discharge you heal back a lot. So its kind of funny, more damage (well crit so you discharge more) = more survivability.

Just hit 62 and die all the time. Gear is pretty decent, resistances are capped and have over 2k life. But every once in a while (1 or 2 times a day) I just get nuked. Still don't have the 5L volls, but when I die its instant so Im not sure how much life leech would help if I get it into a socket... I have 8% life leech on phys damage now from gear and it doesn't help me with the death rate...
Here's my current gear- anything else (cheap!) I should be looking for right away? Last edited by saxisa on Dec 26, 2014, 2:51:35 PM

" i can see 2 things that maybe are the problem...one is that using herald of thunder and the lighting damage of herald wont let you use the benefits of elemental equilibrium...second...the life leech of your physical damage its not important....what its important its the life leech of the discharge and the lighting damage.... | |
" Yep I thought about that too. But I haven't taken EE yet on the tree so figured it was okay for a bit. I'm really struggling with the lightning damage life leech though- to buy or craft a dagger better than what I have is really expensive and I have only a few c, and no ex at all. Doryanis would be first choice, but again, need at least 1 ex to get. There are some random ammies out there that might work, but they are all corrupted and usually don't have great stats. | |

@saxisa For starters you don't have a Topaz Flask for Ele Reflect packs, if you're using EE using herald of thunder will break it so thats another big no no, physical life leech will do practically nothing for you since 1 20th of your damage you are actually doing is physical, all your damage comes from discharges (lightning damage).
People really need to read Mathils guide more carefully before committing to the build. HE DID NOT LEVEL WITH IT. You are missing so many crucial parts of the build. Vaal Pact with Life Leech Gem or Lightning Leech makes it apply instantly so everytime you discharge you heal for a substantial amount and makes you pretty much unkillable to reflect, especially if you have a topaz flask. Also another thing to note is that unless you're planning on killing atziri, replace the guides Ruby Flask (Fire Resistance) with a Granite flask to help out with the big hitting melee monsters etc. Last edited by Perrydtf on Dec 27, 2014, 1:11:37 AM

" Well don't mean to be picky, but it's somewhat ironic that you didn't read my post too carefully before implying I hadn't read Mathils guide. I did say I have NOT taken EE yet, so herald of thunder will not break it. Also, I know I need lightning life leech- that's what I said. It's not cheap to get man. And I DO have vall pact. Bottom line- I have read his guide. And need lightning life leech but it's tough to get if you are poor. Work in progress. | |

Lv.86 4950 HP Res capped 90% accuracy 52% charge-less crit 75ish-80% crit with 6 charges 152 int (barely enough to run lv 20 int gems that have 151 req) 242 str 263 dex My dagger is pretty terrible and I have a 6s voll's sitting in stash that just won't 6l. All that aside, I'm still going to attempt atziri soon. Ditching Saffel's really gave me a huge boost to HP and damage, I mean huge. 1 discharge just deletes exiles and rares. The life leech and topaz flask make me take almost no dmg from reflect. ▒█▀▀█ █▀▀█ █▀▀ █▀▀ █▀▀ ▒█▀▄▀█ G O O D MTX Seal of Quality ▒█▄▄█ █▄▄▀ █▀▀ ▀▀█ ▀▀█ ▒█▒█▒█ O Verified by M-posting, Inc. ▒█░░░ ▀░▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▒█░░▒█ Y Last edited by Gensou on Dec 27, 2014, 3:07:49 AM

@Gensou I read some where that the bonus resist Saffells gives is like a 25 percent dmg reduction to elemental damage, meaning atziri is really going to hurt, wouldn't mind you posting back after you've tried it, interested to see how you go without the shield. I pondered for a long time dropping it and buying a Rathpith Globe but changed my mind when I read about the huge dmg reduction having that extra max resist gives.
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rathpith_Globe @saxisa For the record champ, when I posted my reply I hadn't seen your follow up post saying you didn't have EE. Everything else I said is relevant. Don't come in here complaining about the spec if you aren't even following it or complain about the responses given when you're asking for critique, TLDR; You have no proper leech like the guide suggests (not even the alternate of a life leech gem) You're trying to level as a spec that wasn't really intended to be leveled as, no CoC build is as it requires higher levels of crit You have the wrong flasks, not even a granite/jade or topaz when you're saying damage is a problem for you Last edited by Perrydtf on Dec 27, 2014, 4:02:59 AM

Single target high HP bosses are still giving me trouble with this build since we can no longer "lockon" to a target anymore, any ideas how to combat this?
