This has not much to do with this build, but i recently bought new gloves, and been trying to get the right colours for a few days now. 1800 Chromatics later and i stil havent got the 3red/1green combo.

I've been spamming the "atleast 2 red sockets" at vorici, i never had this much trouble with my current gloves. How did u guys manage to get those colours? What would be the best way to keep trying?

put vorici 2R on it. this makes the first two sockets reds. then use vorici "2 sockets", which costs 1 jewelers orb. this will preserve the 2 red sockets! then use vorici "3 sockets" for 3 jewelers orbs. if you hit a red or green socket, fine, otherwise repeat those steps till you hit a nonblue. afterwards, repeat this process with vorici 3 sockets and vorici 4 sockets.

this way, you spend something like 200-300 jewelers instead of the 800 something chromes it costs on average if you do it via chromes.

This is the best advice ever !

I'm really baffled that so many of you didnt know about this new method. It's been huge on reddit about 1-2 weeks ago, and pretty much all streamers have talked about it recently.

Well i bought astramentis but i got left only now 60c and idk if its gonna be enough to gear my character for maps als im not sure how you do ci at lvl 33

Do not CI at lv 33 in HC. The guide doesn't even recommend it until lv 39. You can start using the staff at lv 33, but you don't have to switch to CI at the same time. In HC you simply level to 39 in the Lake, then switch to CI and the recommended lv 39 items, cheap and easy, and stay in the Lake for a few more levels, it doesn't get any slower until lv 45 there.

At lv 45 you finally move on. Do the Normal Lab, it's trivial then, take Paragon - a life saver in HC! Then faceroll the rest of Normal and the first 3 acts of Cruel, get to the Lake and stay there for 10 more levels again, then do Cruel Lab (get Liege and 2nd golem).

In the tree, one change I'd recommend for HC is go straight for Unwavering Stance after AoF, grabbing only Brute Force jewel sockets on the way, until you get it. The goal is to be immune to stun by the time you get to the Lunaris Temple in Merciless. Those titty bitches... You can max your resists using whatever cheap tri-res belt and a rare ring, it's pretty easy with Icetomb. And you can get the duration nodes (Potency of Will) later. DPS is not an issue at those levels in those areas, especially seeing as you outlevel the mobs by at least 5 levels in HC. But stun is a total bitch in HC, and you can't afford any mistakes. The faster you get stun immunity the better.

I'm really baffled that you expect people to not only view reddit but to also watch some streamers. Though I do the first one, I don't have time to waste on watching someone else play when I can play myself.

I am giving all my whispering ice gear to any newish player who will get some use out of it. Make sure you have your characters public so I can see that I am not giving it to somoene who is just going to list it on poe.trade 5 min later.
