" Tempest shield Vorici can shove his fuse up his [removed]

" 525 The fun thing is, I was spamming fuse as fast as I could until 500+. Then I decided to call it a day and go for 5L again. I did one fuse at a time, slowly, and some fuse later it was 6L and I saw it happen lol. First thought it got 5L but then I took a closer look :) Vorici can shove his fuse up his [removed]

Hey over there !
I like the build so far for mapping and delving. I want to farm guardians to make currency but I feel like I struggle on those right now with this build. Particularly my single target is quite low Is this build adapted to guardians farming ? If yes, what improvements on my gear should I aim for first to achieve better single target DPS and/or boss survivability ? Because if the upgrades cost dozens of exalts, maybe I will think about doing a reroll for the purpose of farming guardians, but I really like to play this build and would like to stick with it if possible ! :) PS : chat to look at is ArcaPara, and don't look at bad rolled no quality unique flasks it's temporary.

" If you want a lot more damage for cheap - look at page 587, the first post from TorsteinTheFallen. But you gonna lose elemental reflect immune and some elemental damage mitigation. If you gonna do that change, I recommend you to turn off Clarity completely(even now your clarity is overleveled, it reserves too much mana) and get Soul siphon on your skills tree for some extra mana to compensate mana reservation from herald of thunder (replace two 5% hp talents with it) That change gonna cost you like 50-100 chaos (for the corrupted +%block shield) and gives about 80k dps (your current guardians dps is 200k, it's gonna be 279k). I played with mastermind of discord instead of paragon of calamity untill I got my endgame gear and it felt better because of huge dps difference. And replace blind for culling strike in your orb of storms setup, it helps a lot in boss fights p.s. I guess i can give you that corrupted shield for free, just message me in the game Last edited by blg_RealiZe#1295 on Oct 24, 2018, 3:35:31 AM

Hey guys,
this is my first season in poe endgame, having played D3 and some other games I have a little bit of experience in games like this. First of all thanks to enki for putting all the effort in this build. All the thorough explanations really helped me to get a grip on this game and to better understand it. Also thanks to all the other people replying to answers in this guide. I really like the poe community as it is what makes me stick to this game. I just got me a nice helmet and balanced out my wise oak resistances. I am currently leveling up my arc and some support gems to corrupt them to 21 (had 5 failed corruptions by now :( ) as i dont want to buy them on poe trade (i like to craft my own stuff if possible)I am wondering which would be the next step for me to improve. Im not yet very skilled with path of building, might need to watch a guide on that one too. What do you guys think would be the next step to improve? I figured (besides of course the 21 arc) a better rare scepter with lightning pen/elemental and an impulsa corruption? Getting the helmet enchantment will be hard but if i have the motivation I might farm lab for that. Mapping is not a problem (currently t15 maps). In delve depth 250 I often die when delving into the dark. In my opinion mostly I die very fast from hits before I can drop a flare and I explode them or when they are partly in the dark and dont die. Compared to some other ppl I don't seem to match their dps in PoB considering my 20 arc though(maybe I am also doing something wrong in PoB) So could you guys look over my build and see if there is an easy way to improve which I forgot or I don't see? Any suggestions on Delving survivability? And like I wrote before what would be the next step to improve? Thank you guys in advance! |

" Well, this solution is really interesting ! Having enough shield block for Cerberus Limb would be awesome ! In fact, you're right about Clarity that is useless now that I have Wrath mana leech jewel. I am very interesting to try this setup, I'll try message you in-game for that corrupted +% shield block Ahn's Heritage (that I can pay for). Regardless, I am still interesting for other advice on my gear. I already figured out that replacing my sceptre to increase DPS was not a solution (very little gain even with 1-2ex shaped sceptre) so I can use this Cerberus Limb solution with Herald of thunder meanwhile. Is there other things besides enchantments and Inpulsa+1/Empower+4 for single-target dps improvements ? Last edited by Zankai#4668 on Oct 24, 2018, 5:45:49 AM

" Get lvl 20 added lightning damage and hypothermia You have some extra elemental resistances you can sacrifice for: 1. a ring and a belt with spell damage/elemental damage/lighting damage on it 2. a helmet with "arc chains an additional time", this enchant gives you +6.8% DPS. 3. you can replace your gloves for +% cast speed (or "cast and attack speed"). 9% cast speed from the gloves would give you 4% DPS. The alternative is to get +spelldamage on gloves (fingerless silk gloves base for example), but i like castspeed more - it gives more DPS. 4. You can get amulet with +% elemental damage penetration on it, but they are quite expensive 5. Boots with "damage penetrates 10% of enemy elemental resistances if you havn't killed recently" enchant help on bosses too. But I, personally, don't think they are necessary since we can't use them for uber elder. And for everything else we can get enough DPS without that enchant. But if you are not aiming for uber elder - you can get them too. All that feels like small changes, but all together they make a huge difference. Maybe you can replace some +% HP talents for Elemental focus, Nimbleness (I like this one a lot) or Lightning walker. It purely depends on your movement in fights. From my experience, 5k hp and 2k mana is enough for everything including uber elder (except maybe 500+ depth delve, but in delve it's never enough HP) Last edited by blg_RealiZe#1295 on Oct 24, 2018, 6:33:15 AM

" pretty much the same tips as in my posts on the last 2 pages Quality on all arc support gems, get clear mind jewel (turn off clarity) - the cheapest options. Then replace your other rare jewels with abyss ones with "+#lightning damage to spells" (use PoB to chose jewels, it helps SO MUCH. Just create a custom item in it and copy jewel's stats from poe.trade there). Lvl21 arc gives a lot, but you already know that. Replacing anything else gonna ruin your perfect resists for Oak (imo, it's not really worth it to keep them perfectly balanced while you are desperate to get more DPS). +1 lvl gems inpulsa's is very expensive to think about at this point. Helmet with lab enchant, good rare sceptre(nearly impossible to buy, you should try to craft it yourself), lvl 21 arc support gems, amulet with elemental res. penetration + spelldamage (maybe cast speed too). Think about switching +5% hp talents to Elemental focus, Nimbleness or Lightning walker. And don't rush in monsters in the darkness in delve. Place your flare BEFORE going in, it helps a lot (requires more flares, but dying on lvl 93 is not fun at all). And try to always keep the range between monsters and your character, it's not a facetank build |

" Thanks !! I just bought my lvl 21 arc now, dont wanna wait on the other to lvl up and anyway I can sell the ones I corrupt to 21. Next thing to craft will be a scepter then. Concerning the Abyss jewels: If i put a perfectly rolled +lightning dmg to spells jewel in PoB it will still give me less dmg than the rare jewels with cast speed and lightning dmg. is PoB not reliable here or am I missing something? |
