Good alternative for doedre / windscream?

Rares with life and res could be much better than doedre/windscream

Im pretty sure this jewel is for "self-curse" meaning your character can have more curses placed on him/herself.

man you sure are happy now with the patch notes out. all of your coc spells got buffed pretty hard.

both novae got 35% increased dmg while shock nova even got it's dmg effectiveness buffed from 50 to 60%. also, arc now chains 7 instead of 5 times with a whooping 20% dmg increase.

considering the nerf to aoe nodes do you still want to get the templar aoe node? could safe a couple of points there.

Like i said many times, build is highly custumable. My tree is not the only one you can take :)
And yes im very happy everything was buffed :D

Another question.

Why not using a Moon / Eclipse staff ? Or with other words: Which staff would you prefer?

I'm thinking about using this build for the new league. Got a hard time deciding betwen this one and an ice nova build.

My only concern about this build is that I'm afraid I might not get a decent staff. I checked poe trade for a couple of days and literally no one who sells a "hits can't be evaded" staff with a crit value of 8.0 or higher is ever online.

I will probably end up with a crit 6.4-7.0 staff in the new league.

How did you get yours?

Im pretty sure that Vagan cannot sell Eclipse, but to Moon:
- never seen it on sale.
- Has pretty low base crit chance.

I would pick anything that can reach 8.5% crit with mastercraft.

* Vagan's Primordial Staff
* Vagan's Foul Staff
* Vagan's Royal Staff
* Vagan's Highborn Staff

Either one is ok. Last two are just easiest to reach crit cap. So you can focus more on defences and crit multi on jewels. But ofcourse you lose a little attack speed meaning spells proc little less, but its not really visible with crafter attack speed.

Every staff from list with decent crafted master Crit Chance, will reach enough crit ~8.5% or more.

Ive bought 5 Staffs for pinats and regaled every. One got 70% spell dmg, other 16% attack speed. Rest something not useful.

After aquiring enough cash -> multimodded rest of affixes.

Its good to lvl vagan on start of new league or try to buy from people. Staffs are pretty cheap.

How you go about with this build on HC league? It has extremely low % of max life.

=> No build with Acrobatics is really HC viable until it gets buffed - since you can't rely on evasion and there are always one-hits with "low" hp ;)



But for the build again ...

I will jump into the new league with this build and follow your progress with the guide here :P

1) No Ice Golem because of capped CritChance and no need for the Accuracy right?

2) Why not combining "Ice Bite" aswell to the Herald of Ice setup and get rid of Blood Rage?

3) ... have some ideas for the Skill Tree ... coming back after a few hours of sleep ;)

On page 4 ive posted possible tree for HC league with max 200% life. But i would not suggest to use it till you have required gear and lvl.
With Lightning Coil + perm Enfeeble, you have 51% less phys dmg taken and 30% less of other. Add to it flat 16% mitigation from charges and 3-4 sec immortal call.

Is it enough ? I have no idea as ive never played HC league.

Personally i would go with this:
CLICK

You can get almost 200% life. Add to this LC or Belly of the Beast and you will be VERY tanky.

Im also thinking about dropping Arctic Armour, and picking Deodre ring to run perm Enfeeble.

30% less dmg taken for same investment.

Looks pretty good if you ask me :)

That's 163% life. Not even close to 200%.
180% is mandatory for HC.

You dont calculate life you can get in every jewel slot. With average 5-7% and 6 slots its additional ~30-42% life.
Thats why i wrote that i wouldnt recomend it without gear to support it.

6 jewel slots allow for plenty of custumization.

Looking to respec a level 80 scion in 2.1
Just have some quick questions:

1. How will we generate frenzy charges? (tree has a +1 frenzy charge)
2. Could you post a level 80 tree? (Not sure which nodes to drop)
3. How do you run HoI, Blasphemed Warlord's and Assassin's, AA? (HoI is also 132% mana from Cull and Innervate)
https://poe.mikelat.com/#6S2i1h/TJbLJd/nwYIqj/DGXOWFd (HoT and HoA as substitutes for the Blasphemed Curses)

Edit: I think AA would be dropped because it only is reduction when standing still, we are constantly cycloning / moving. Correct?
