Had a lot of "I'm not levelled enough", "My gear isn't good enough" and "I need to practice this" moments, but, that's the only "How is this even possible?" I've hit.

Thanks! Not sure if I'm able to do it at my level/gear/etc then. Is Immortal Call actually worth using without any Endurance Charges? Not having that may be where I'm going wrong.	Posted by Zephryl#5929 on Jun 12, 2016, 10:27:13 AM Quote this Post

I can't say I've used the original Voltaxic, so I can't give a damage comparison, but as far as reflect goes... If it's not named "Shavronne" or "Atziri", I ignore reflect mods.	Posted by Zephryl#5929 on Jun 12, 2016, 8:53:43 PM Quote this Post

Damage is a bit noticeably less on Uber did it with 52k Tooltip earlier, and was not as insta-kill as i remember, and after getting Vitality void VP reflect isn't an issue anymore.

I still have to get the 2 extra ascendancy points in the endgame labyrinth (which should help a lot against reflect foes, the new Nature's boon sounds amazing). I want to say the build is still more than enjoyable. The damage is almost the same as before for me, since I replaced Void Manipulation with Increased Critical strikes in both Blast Rain and LA setup. Clear speed is untouched. Still super fast. My damage setups are now these: LA \| GMP \| Chain \| WED \| Added Lightning \| Increased Critical Strikes BR \| Faster Attacks \| WED \| Added Lightning \| Increased Critical Strikes \| Concentrated effect I poison on hit with all the damage I do, since I am a Pathfinder. I also rearranged my passive tree to counteract the nerfs: Spoiler https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAABAIDAQBeAdEDHgUtBx4ILg2NDkgPqxEvEYERlha_GYoZjhnXHYMfQSF2I9Mj9iSLJJ0k_SaVKgsrCi5TMFswcTB8Mfo2PTdMN9Q51DpCPs9DMUQNR35JUUp9S3hM_02STipRR1VLVYVW-loaW69d8mHiYlpirGOnZU1sjG1sbydv8nBSdO11y3b3fXV_K3-Af5Z_xoTFhNmGzod2idOMNo19jX6Nko2_j2CTlZUulYeXBppqm42btZ2qn22gn6XLrJetM6_rt7a74702vea-p8EzwzPDOsSix53I8NNv037UI9aK2sHdRt2o45_nVOpi7T_tg-4O73rw1fc9_MX-uv8Q_94= if you want more safety, add a Topaz flask in the mix. Sure, it can't be played blindfolded as before. If you target the mirrored Atziri clone, you will die. And I don't know if you can safely play using the Frost Wall + pierce LA method in reflect maps in 2.3. For me it's absolutely not required and I still prefer using Blast Rain for single target. Frost Wall is a wander thing. I'm curious as to why you took Master of the Arena in your skill tree. The melee physical damage seems useless, no?

I think I will settle for a while with my rings in Prophecy ;)	Posted by Vulgarny#3590 on Jun 14, 2016, 3:08:02 PM Quote this Post
damn these rings are insane, I've never seen ever remotely close ones on the market, did you craft them yourself? Do you run Coil? With these rings I don't think you can manage the resistances unless it's 30ex worth of gear. I have a question guys: what's the equivalent of +30% WED in terms of Adds X-X Lightning Damage?
