this is my equip actually
i want to understand 3 thing if possible: 1)How this auxium work? i have it to menage better frost/chill but it seems to do nothing. the only way i ( ever ) die are from frost=death and i'm frosted for lot... so can't understand what i need that belt for. 2)we need enlighten lv 3 and not 4 corrupted because we have +1 on black sun crest? can i use the helm i have that give me more of all and use lv 4 enligh? 3)my dps is 4328 with both golem summoned (lightning golem don't raise my dps and also all my onslaught pots, can't undertand why...) and i feel to say that i've not crap gear... how is supposed i can arrive at 10k+ dps? where i am wrong? tnx to all can answer |

" 1. Auxium is interesting for this build, our ES doesn't get bonkers out of control like some ES builds (15k ES or something, ours is 6-8k). Without it your freeze duration is based off of life before CI, which is very low because we take no life nodes. The mechanic is "Base freeze duration is 60 milliseconds for every 1% of the target's maximum life (before party scaling) dealt by Cold damage, up to a maximum of 50%. If the duration would be below 0.3 seconds, the freeze effect is not applied." So the idea is, we don't get frozen because our ES is high enough, however I think (just my opinion) that we still get frozen by the large hits that make things dangerous anyway, and we're better off relying on anti-freeze potions. I'm playing hardcore though, so maybe others have a different opinion. 2. I believe the case is we actually only need level 2 enlighten in a +1 helm, to be able to use the extra aura, though we might be constrained a bit on mana. So you should be fine if you'd prefer an ES helm, though you'll be losing damage because of less int. 3. Icestorm does NOT have a dps tooltip (same as firestorm), it has a damage per instance, because of the random nature of the "explosions". We drop many explosions per second, so your damage on average is significantly higher. Last edited by Shiverwarp#6758 on Sep 18, 2016, 4:00:47 PM

" topaz ring is my own drop and i like it :) give me a lot of res, little dps and es from int and flat es ing: Sehemyr

" Tnx u mate, very accurate ;) About the belt i'm thinking if is not better to just have 1/2 immune freeze potions and run with a tri res belt with some ES and possibly a +5 running speed... this make me able to use black sun without fuck all my res and i'll raise my dps too... about the damages i know that i don't have to see the pure icestorm dps but anyway there are ppls with 10k on it and i feel like i'll never reach this... |

I believe the Auxium belt is now second tier and not BiS. I'd use it if you're low on ES and on a budget.
Otherwise, you still get frozen from strongboxes and need to use your flask to unfreeze and the ES it gives is shit compared to the new crystal belts. Example:  Far cheaper ones with 135 + max es, and other goodies: http://poe.trade/search/asitahadutanah "Good thing they nerfed the carto, it wasn't fun to find one in every map." - Haborym Last edited by monkuar#2123 on Sep 18, 2016, 5:45:04 PM

Perfect Auxium gives 90 ES. Maximum ES you can get on Crystal belt is 131. I don't think it's worth it being trigger happy about another deadly status when in some cases you can still die really fast. If only belts could roll int...
Offloading resists from other slots to make gearing easier might be worth it. Last edited by GladiatorUA#0888 on Sep 18, 2016, 7:04:16 PM

Auxium belt is broken too or not worded correctly. You still get frozen all the time while wearing it. Does nothing and just gives ES

" t7 spite essence will roll like 50-55 int on a belt. working on a new crystal belt for myself that way. if you could roll a 55 int dual res 135 es belt. would be gg for this build |
|
" You need 18% int on staff, you need Black Sun Crest with 15% int, you need int on your boots. Lightning golem and silver flask are for attack speed / cast speed not for DPS. I have 9129 AVG. DMG. in hideout and 17k+ in fight with elemental overload and atziri's promise. (in both case pendulum of destruction 100% elem damage) |

I finally managed to kill Uber Izaro for the first time. I usually die in the last part because of lag in the room, but it was a pretty good room today and I ended up face-tanking him.
My character is level 84 with 7k ES and I'm currently using a little different setup until I could get points to finish the tree and get better items. I have also been using the Kitava helm which is pretty nice to be honest. I'm not doing end-game maps or content just yet other than Uber Izaro, but it's a fun item to use! We're all just walkin' through this darkness on our own. Last edited by Constraint#3181 on Sep 18, 2016, 9:07:14 PM
