Do you think that the build would still be completely viable with a 5L Carcass? I mean, still able to do at least the highest tier of maps if not Atziri too.

Higher level maps will still be Ok. Not sure how map drops are atm, and how high people can get.
I think atziri will be hard with lower dps. Especially the split phase. Perhaps with a heavystrike weapon swap itĺl be doable.
Thinking softcore wise ofcourse, when you can use plenty of portals for the last fight, even on HC with 6L and high dps chances are you gonna die eventually.

hello ) maybe see Passive tree 20-40-60 ?

20- Go to resolute technique through marauder dps.
40 - Go to templar AoE and life
60 - respec marauder dps into marauder life, go to mid section duelist.

Hey I'm trying this build out in Warbands and so far I LOVE it. I'm 1 shotting everything ever since level 28 when I could use Ice Crash.

I was wondering, if you have the time, if you could look over my passives and gear and maybe give me some advice to where I can improve my overall character. I'm level 65 and I've pretty much followed the guide to a tee.

http://cb.poedb.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwEBAdwEswmWEuEUIBo4IVUnLyz7LdIx-zkOOzs8BT38QT9HflBHUeZYY1nzXhNfP2VNZlRo8nIPcql2rHdTd-N5aHzZf-OCm4TZhO-FUoV7h2qKIozPkFWQbJLQlG-Uh5d5mjuexZ8-n9-iAKLqqSepbqmUrKqtjb02vqfAZsEExBXE9sbYz37ZYd-y5FHqGOsJ7DjvDu988B_2SPcy

When I get a chance I'm gonna get the Blood Dance boots and Gentle Touch gloves 4 linked so that's why I'm not wearing them now.

Numbers:
Ice Crash with Hatred/HoA/Flame Golem/Inc AoE: 12,606
Ice Crash with Hatred/HoA/Flame Golem/Conc Effect: 18,374
Armor: 1303 (21%)
Evasion: 771 (17%)[/spoiler]

Thanks!

Hi, just looked up your tree, looks solid. Cant see your gear, since i cant open spoilers on this crappy chromebook on vacation atm. (and cant open PoE forum trees too)

When you get your asenath 4linked its time to figure out how to improve your stun. perhaps with reduced stun treshold and belt without having to take the stun node. Also what to do with mana, youre very close to revelry right now.

Let me know how things go with asenaths, its a game changer.

how about ppl posting some jewels they use ?

Guys is my build ok ? https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwEBAdwEswUtB3UJlgthFCAaOCFVJyAnLyz7Mfs5DjndOtg7OzwFPC09_ECgQT9Bh0PnR35QR1HmWGNeE18_ZU1nm2jycql07Xasd1N343loeu982YKbg8yE2YTvh2qKIozPkFWQbJSHl3maO5tYnsWiAKknqW6plK2Nrj6vbLc-vTa-p8BmwKbBBMT2xq7G2M9-2L3cPd-y4XPkUeSx6hjsOO8O73zwH_ZI9zL56P4K?accountName=Exathil&characterName=BoczekSoczek

Im running this and have 3.7k hp atm, im lvl 66. I had trouble on the lunaris temple with guys who has whips and fire ranged attacks (tentacle ones), stun hurts me so much. Kole almost 2 hit me, it so hard to duel him. I took endurance charge from Oak, but still dont use cause, my gear is quite poor.

That's my gear. Im running 4L with ice crash + phys to lightning, meele phys dmg and ele weap dmg. I got hatred and red golem auras. Can u give me any advice to the tree and gems setup? I got almost 30 respec points to improve it. Thanks a lot in advance.

Leveling Advice:
-Marauder 2h damage nodes
-Templar AoE and Life
-Duelist 2h damage nodes

This allows you to level with any 2h weapon.
When you get your first 'endgame' mace, drop the Mara 2h dps and pick up the Mace nodes.

Other note:
-Carcass Jack is not nearly required. The build works fine without it. Which is good because the cheapest Carcass on Warbands is more then 5ex.

So after some playing around and issues with survivability I decided to put Hatred-Increased duration-codt-immortal linked on my boots and it's been working very well. I would enduring shout and leap slam in to a big pack and immortal would pop for a good 4-5 seconds (I chose oak so 6 endurance charges.) Warlord's mark and before immortal duration even ends I have 6 charges again so I can just keep chaining packs with almost constant immortal up time. Doesn't work well against Malachai's bullshit but it's great for maps.

Shad I've followed this build for a while and kind of added my own spin here and there.

Here are the issues I've encountered right now:

1. Don't have a 5L or 6L (yet).

Which gems should I prioritize and why?

2. Mana issues

Even after speccing into Revelry, I find that if I don't have Warlord's Mark proccing all the time I'm running out of mana.

3. I'm using a CWDT Warlord's Mark set up since my Leapslam has ECoMS, Fortify, and Blood Magic.

In regard to the whole adding my spin to this, I decided to run Arctic Armour and Hatred.

I sacrificed some damage by not running Herald of Ash but I feel my survivability is higher and my chill/stun chances are increased.

Along side this, I'm running Vengeance linked with Life Leech, which seems to be doing a decent job of what it is tasked to, which is keeping me alive.

I'm also currently running Flame Golem, which i might change since the ~1000 dps he adds is very minimal.

Could you give me some pointers on how I could maximize my damage without sacrificing my damage mitigation and how I can keep my mana topped to where I won't have to keep thinking about a mana flask (Which is never going to happen, granite is too GOOD).

Thanks!

Kole is a gear check armor wise.
The whips and ranged attackers should vanish before your eyes in a big pool or gore and blood.

Phys to lightning gem is an emergency option to run a physical reflect map. Without it, you do physical damage to mana (life) leech.
I think you need to invest in a good fast weapon, so youŕe faster then those fast moving and shooting monsters, and you should kill em quicker too.

Run quicksilver of warding if you dont have atziris promise
chain granite flask versus kole.

(cant open spoilers/open trees, on vac with crappy computer, im sure theres plenty of people who can look and give advice.)

Indeed, A good astral will serve you well. Carcass is the rich mans endgame gear.

Thx for that input.
After running 10+ consequetive characters with cwdt-IC, i wanted to do one without :)
Good to see theres still that option.

Those are my items, maybe you can see them now. Like I said I've got asenath and blood dance in the bank

Thanks for the tips. I think I'm gonna head for Revelry now then pick up the lower 2h dmg nodes

1. would hoard all jew/fuse and craft a 5L in a 6soc item yourself. will take time, but worth it.

I would priorities clearspeed to get the orbs needed. and that means a bloodmagic (fast) leapslam.

2. combine revelry or jewel with +2 mana on hit &&&&&& mana leech on ring/amulet/jewel
get used to doing it without warlordsmark, that the WM curse is not triggering is a good thing, not a bad thing, meaning youŕe locking things down.

3. AA is nice for the chilled ground, if you use hypo, but when things start snowballing for you, you prolly drop it fast.

4:
A) start the grind of an area you can clear fast

B) Priority: Get asenath gloves, drop WL mark. Get manaleech ring/amulet/jewel

C) Buy an ilev 74+ (12@all) white (6s) astral plate or nice rolled, and start 5-6Linking it.

p.s. use rallying cry if youŕe not using it yet. nice for abit of mana too.

I got a new ring and ammy with mana regen / mana leech, plus the ring had a delicious 36% increased ele damage with weapons roll.

This helped my mana regeneration nicely, although I'm still not sure if it is viable to replace warlord's mark over. I will check with and without it and see if it is sustainable.

Another question I have is why Asenaths? I already have them bought for the sake of following your build. The reason I stopped using them is because of the fact that the temporal chains would override or be overridden by WM.

What exactly is the benefit of these gloves and temporal chains? Is it solely for the purpose of having slower enemy attacks and move speed, or is the 40% increased duration of other effects the selling point.

As for Rallying cry I am currently running Enduring Cry.

Would you recommend running both or 1 or the other?

I currently have no problem getting endurance charges and keeping them with Enduring Cry.

Arctic Armour....

I was under the impression that maybe the Arctic Armour was keeping me alive, but since I dont use Hypothermia (I used faster attacks currently in my 4L), I was thinking maybe you're right that I should drop it. My DPS currently on the tooltip of Icecrash with Flame Golem out is around 23k. It's even higher when Blood Rage is up with max stacks, and my Malicious Intent gem procs its around 33k.

Since I'm not using Hypothermia should I get rid of Arctic Armour and what would i replace with it? Herald of Ash?

Thanks again!

I'm still new to PoE so the more you can teach me the better!
