thx timebeing for answering, i got some more questuions


so i made it to lvl 70 and transformed to ci.

this is my current skill tree:
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAYBAAPuBx4I9A18DdEOSA-rEHsQkhEPES8RUBGWFdcWvxmKGo8bJR2-IG4i9CSLJ6ko-io4KwosvzIyM4c1uTpYPV9JUUmxS65Ms1AwUlNVxlZjV8lca13yXypfamNDakNqjGwLbRltbHRVfll_xoLHhEiEb4auj_qTJ5OVlS6XlZf0oS-i2acrrJiw2LQMtUi8b746vorAVMM6w23IFMrTy73QH9DQ1ELXz9lb2YbbGtte44Tmged06QLquutj7BjviO_r8NX1b_ba99f5N_no-wk=

i still have to do cruel and merc lab but im scared a bit since its my first ci char


so anything im missing in my passives?

my current gear is linke this:

i took that amulette cuz im scared of stuns ( and i had one in my stash )
so overall my es is like 8500 with lvl 19 disciplin, is that fine to start mapping ?

my dmg feels +- okay,in my ho with hatred its 5300, with powercharges arround 6500, that sounds to low for me, how can i improove ny dps?
my gear isnt really good imho but what should i aim for next?

i have arround 100 chaos which i can spend, so if i go really all in i could afford a voud battery but prolly its better to get something else before? ( have arround 200 chance orbs and beliving in my luck ;P )


thx for advices
greets

ES of 8500 is enough for starting maps and you should be able to do merc lab and maybe get a carry for Uber lab. Those 4 points are a nice DPS boost. Start doing white maps and start leveling. You gear looks great for ES values but i can see you maybe hurting on Rez and Stats.

Your DPS does look low. Time to grab Doom Cast and Annihilation, the Spell Crit nods, likely your crit is just really low.
You also have under level damage Support gems, they are all level 16 so bump those up.
I skipped grabbing Unnatural Calm for DPS nodes earlier. I may get it at some point, but I'm currently at 11k Energy shield with ok gear, so I don't really see a reason to.
Kiara's Determination really is a great QoL flask to get at this point. Yeah it's pricy but it will allow you to swap your neck out for something thet gets you DPS, Stats, ES or Rez.
You also shouldn't ever need a mana flask other then no regen maps. I'm using Atziri's Promise aa cheap damage boost with some leech too, till i can afford a Taste of Hate.
When you get to 73 and you can use Fingerless gloves for a DPS boost till you have the Rez and Stats to use Facebreakers.
Crafting your flask to Surgeon's will make life easier too.
So what would I spend that money on? Energy From Within Jewels if you don't have them yet. Then really think about getting a Kiara's and a new neck. after that Beast Fur shawl is only 40-50c if you have the Jewelers/fusing to do your own linking (80-90c if you want a pre-linked 5)

Also if you are committed to this build start using your GCPs on your DPS support gems. That alone will be another 20% spell damage and 15% crit multi.
Also at level 72 buy a 20/20 corrupted blade vortex for a nice dps boost. Will cost you 2-3c (keep leveling your old one to play the Vaal lottery for a 21)

Between level 70 and 85 you should start to see incremental DPS and ES increases from leveling your gems, more skill points, and Merc and Uber Lab. By 85 you should be closer to 10k DPS HO and 10k ES.

I just killed the Shaper with this build, it wasnt easy but very doable! Great build, by far the strongest i have ever played! I did get some lucky currency, no 40 Ex boots or stuff like that though. Its not a budget build but 20 Ex overall should do to kill all the content in Atlas.

Thanks Lifting!

could you link gear please?

sure!

Got few questions about Uber lab farm with this build.

Currently im level 86 this is my gear:


my skill tree


did some uber lab runs and went good, but few got me frustrated:
sometimes he nukes my totem in 2 hits and focuses on me and here is the annoying part:when he hits me 1 time and takes around 2k ES not a big deal but i try to recast my totem to take aggro away character does the animation of cast but no totem appears same BS happens with movement or movement skill aka flame dash i cant move more then few meters and cant cast anything since each hit interrupts my actions.

is there anything i can do with this? my dps http://i.imgur.com/dJCjNPa.jpg but the interrupts prevent me from killing him

maybe you should get the "cannot be stunned after killing recently" boot enchant OR pop kiaras determination preemptively. or you get skyforth ^^

cant afford kiaras yet and will the boot enchant help?

as long as you killed some adds in the last 4 seconds, it has 80% chance to help. :P

Came from the LowLife/CI Build (Top Nr 1 BladeVortex) to this build due to being a glasscanon with the other build.
DMG is much lower but now I can servive attacks of bosses. Thx for that.

But I changed few things and maybe some want to know.
First thing is skyforth. Sure expensive but well .. good boots.
Secondly: I got the following Gem Setup and I am wondering why nobody is using it. CurseOH / HoI / Warlords. It gives more Damage than Blasphemy and provides the curses 100% save due to the high CritChance.

My Gear:

first things first, if youre assassin like the build suggests you rly should use crit multi>critchance gem in your 6link :)

HOE-Cursing is usable, but you need 1 more gem slot than u would with blasphemy. u could use that slot for another vaal discipline which is an opie skill :)

personally i use

cwdt-arctic-vortex-GMP (4)

vaal disc-vaal disc-vaal disc-inc.durat (4)

enlighten-disc-blashemy-warlords mark (4)

flameDash-decoy-faster cast (3)

cwdt-golem-imm.call (3)


3x vaal discipline linked with increased durations saves your ass way more often than a tanky maxlevel golem that u have to selfcast -in my opinion. oh and i dropped the immortal call increased duration for another vaal discipline but thats just me - with the endurance charges from warlords mark its (again in my opinion) long enough most of the time. debatable though :)

Yah, in the end it gets down to personal favs I guess. ^^

But for the IncCritMulti - Crit Chance: I checked it out and got 20% less crit chance without. This was like 1k more dmg with CritMulti but less chance to crit. Not good enough for me. So I let CritChance beat the multi.


Some more Pros for HoI / CoH : you perma Freeze all kind of Mobs. Goats Freeze in the Air and aren't able to perform their Leap, Porcupines shatter and so no extra Damage when they die, also almost no corpses (cuz they shatter) that makes no detonate dead possible. And more such pros.

For me a no brainer.

its impossible for new players to get skyforth sadly... price is around 43ex while i have maybe 1.5ex in other currency
