Why didn't you take the http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bloodletting node so it'd add up to Gratuitous violence?


The damage you gain from this node is actually minimal since bleeding is not our main damage, it's just something there extra.

Hi Master)) I update my chest and helm and aegis, and drop BOR and Lioneye, start use 6l now. Its AWESOM! Have 5600 hp and 950 ES, 8500 armour and 16k dps))))
Just facetanked Twinned T9 Dominus and Twinned t10 Argus whitout problem. Stay and hit)))
BUT T12 Village ruin BOSS its fkin insane, what do you deal whit him? I have chaos resist 97% in HO, need 38 for cap.


PS can you ask or test what give us more DPS - Lion's Roar or Atziri Flask?


I have no real problem against those bosses, I think your problem is a bit low dps to kill those bosses fast.
You seem to have missing something for dps, not sure why, I have around 30k dps with AoE gem.

BoR is a really Budget Option but u need a high armor 6L chest to be succesful.

Yea, i'm starting to realize this. My BoR is having trouble with some T9 and T10.


This wasn't in my case, I had no problem in t15 with BoR setup.
I was able to do - max resist / temporal chain double boss t15 col map as you can see in the video. (I used BoR here)

From your build with BoR, you think Unwavering Stance and Iron Reflexes is worth it? Our build uses both Blind and Enfeeble which both are debuff that decreases the chance to be hit by quite a large margin, 50% for Blind and 30%-35% accuracy decrease. That is a lot more damage coming in but it won't stun us. Also, I think since we have Unwavering Stance then we will be crit more often as well since a swing doesn't need to double roll us like if we didn't have it.

I haven't grabbed those nodes yet but just curious on your thoughts.

Thanks!


I grabbed US for BoR version since it's a budget setup, and wanted it to be safe in hard bosses.
(I just assumed not many people have good gears for this setup)

Most of mobs should be fine without US, but it's just hard bosses can stun you which can lead you to death.

Hi, I had the craziest RNG yesterday and found a drillneck, tabula, lightning coil and shavs within 1 hour of farming vaal zones for challenges x)
Well, by selling the shavs I got my aegis but I was wondering if I should try to 6L the lightning coil and use it or sell it as well and get a high armor 6L instead?
Not sure which would be better since this build allready offers a lot of phys reduction. Is lightning coil good/worth it or am I better off with something else?
Thanks for the help!


Grats on your drops, insane!

I preferred high armour 6l rare since it's cheaper and I don't have to invest 3 points to IR.
However, lc should give a lot more tankiness at the end if you can grab all those resists (including chaos resist)

Just got to lvl 64 and equipped my Varunastra - was going ok with a lvl 41 mace, but it was a huge DPS boost, even more when I took the deadly dilettante cluster. At about 20k dps with quite a few dps nodes still to take, and a couple of decent jewels in the stash ready to go.
One thing I hadn't appreciated was how quick whirling blades was going to be with all the attack speed mods we take.

I notice you take the ranger life/evasion nodes - do they really do that much with little/no base evasion? Would take eventually for the lif I guess, but there are more efficient life nodes to take first.

Aegis is working well, even though I am still wearing a tabula (I did have a rare I was going to wear at lvl 57, but sold just before I got there) - need 4 more levels for my end game armour.
With my current gearing my es total isn't going to be great, might need to look at getting some pure es boots. Not sure if crafting %es on rings would ever be worthwhile - maybe armour would be better. It's expensive too (Though I did randomly 6l a quill rain yesterday and sold, so got a bit of currency).
Thinking of trying to squeeze in Molten Shell (On the high level CWDT setup with golem) - but it can sometimes bite back on ele reflect (Guildmate ripped in hardcore at lvl 89 from it)

Current gear -



Helm to be swapped for my 30% reduced EQ duration one next level, chest to be replaced for a 1680 armour rare in 4. Made the mistake of pre-buying a lot of my gear, which does take some of the fun out of levelling. Can still improve rings and probably gloves and boots though.


Thank you for sharing :D

I grabbed the life nodes near rangers by just looking at 4% maximum life.
You can grab other life nodes first before those nodes.
Depending on how my life total looks I may also drop a couple of less efficient life nodes and grab some more utility, either Armour Mastery (38% armour, life regen and bit of move speed not bad for 2 points) or druidic rite (Shouldn't need the mana, but 20% flask duration and charges gained is good).

Basically though, Versatile Combatant is pretty OP. I've tried to max spell block before and it used to take so much investment. On my trapper in standard I too trickster pretty much just for a 5% dodge bonus (A few other bonuses, but that's the main one) - this is so much stronger.
Thanks for sharing tree, can finally play brain afk flickerstrike^^
was first using outmatch and outlast for chargegeneration but gratuious violence is insane, adds infernal blow to every attackskill!
Here is my gear if any1 interested in my setup.

Interesting, how actually is it to play flicker with this setup?
Enough damage?
