How does this build fair in HC?

It's viable for HC even with the abby if you prioritize life in tree and t1 on your items. I had a friend take this build unchanged to lvl 92 in HC. That said, there are more defensively oriented builds that are much safer. A gladiator version with 75/75 block and big life pool would be great here (surrender for some added life sustain, potentially BoR if you can deal with the dps loss).

Honestly, I think im gonna try http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Bringer_of_Rain The Bringer of Rain with the build as it solves most of the problems with Abby but without the massive 40%.

If I go Slayer with it its almost a 8 link item.

I'm having a toss up between Slayer and Gladiator for HC though, I'm thinking Slayer though as the build you linked still has quite a bit of life nodes.

I still think at very endgame good rares will win due to 5% MS, 10 life, 60-70+ more res. This can free up room for steel/deafening rings and a deafening ammy (loosens res reqs). But yea, for mid-game, these are amazing and only a few c!! Good catch.

Sounds legit....especially bcs of the steel rings I surely need triple res on the boots. :)

Already brainstormed if it could work without rare boots, but this could end up rly rly expensive....would need perfect rolls on the other items to manage the missing tripple res f.e. :P

Can I make this build as a starter of legacy league and be able to farm Uber lab? My gear wouldn't be perfect.

So, i've decided to make this build at legacy league and im very pleased to see it's clearspeed. It's like flicker without epilepsy. I'm not as fast as others so still dont have steel rings but it's a bit shame to have 5700 SC dmg under Hatred+HoA+fire golem(have to switch to cyclone for izaro). Yes im using 5L and jewelry isnt perfect but i've expected like 20k at least. So can anyone say usual tooltip without 20q gems and top gear(just FB, abyss, meginord)? My character's page is opened so any tips appreciated.

I killed Uber in 3 days after league started.

Could we use Gruthkul's Pelt as chest armor and just go bloodmagic, or doesn't the 100% inc. phys damage make up for the fact that we cant use hatred/heral/vaal haste/bloodrage?

Also, could we use legacy voidheart in this build to boost our damage even further ?

Question, why do we use Resolute Technique?

Hey there, I have a question.

I'm currently using a 732 facebreakers (legacy league). I can get one around 780 for 5-10c but I wonder if it's worth it? I mean it probably is and I almost have no other upgrade available for this price but I still wanted to know if a %50 increase on facebreakers is a big deal or not.

Edit: Right after posting this question, I found a great deal, got one 776 for 3c. Got around 500 damage increase on base. Still trying to color the sockets so can't test buffed.

I have another question though. how important are the unique flask setup? I don't use any flasks at all and do perfectly fine. Only went up to T7 maps though, they don't drop. Should I invest on them asap?

What will be better, Steel Rings or FB 950% in my setup.Playin in league.

I'm thinking about making this my 2nd character this league, wanting to take a break from my ED char. I'm not rich by any means though. How would you suggest allocating a starter 2 EX budget? What pieces to concentrate on? Should I be spreading the budget evenly across all my pieces, or are there one or two pieces I should basically break the bank for?
