But rare can have also accuracy roll or other usefull stats like es or resists and than it will be superb to Astramentis. And you can buy that cheaper than Astramentis (currently). And thats the point. My was 30c, you can get similar at 15c price tag while low roll Astramentis is 140c at minimum. Of course BIS rare will be pricy but that was not the point. You can have this build end-game viable for less than 100c in total with amu that is overall better than Astramentis. And that is amazing. Please, take 5 minutes of your spare time and explain how your amulet provides better DPS than an average Astramentis (average gear). It's 5 minutes of napkin math. Your amulet costs 30c, a decent Astramentis 120c (BSC). Your amulet has less DPS, less defensive stats, less of everything. Your amulet is inferior to a 100ish Astramentis. Less damage, accuracy and ES than a 100ish Astramentis. 30c or 120c, it's for the player to decide if it's worth it. Your amulet costs 30c, a Astramentis 120 and a good rare shit ton of currency. Don't get me wrong, an amulet like yours is a good alternative for beginner equipment, but... nope. Deadmaux' amulet is just filthy. Disgusting. I have spent more than 5 min to calculate things. Im a number cruncher. If you knew me before from this forums you would know. *Local point of view:** Spoiler * Ignoring global spectrum here. Just local vs. *Global point of view:** Spoiler * Global view, all bells and whistles included. 8 Frenzy charges, GMP. With slower proj difference get bigger. NOTE: This is with my kind of budget gear. Assumed low roll Astra (100int) at a price tag of 130c (as making of this post). Rare amu with stats provided (51 int, 32% wed, 2-40 flat light dmg) was availiable at 15c price tag (as making this post). And I even didnt bother to included +flat fire dmg. You can buy better rare than mine that is still cheaper than Astra and have better DPS than Astra. Period. But now I can see that those kind of rare amu started to disappear from poe.trade lol.

Did you miss the 4% attack speed that the astramentis dex conversion provides?	Posted by pifpep#5577 on Jan 7, 2017, 6:20:02 AM Quote this Post
" pifpep wrote: Did you miss the 4% attack speed that the astramentis dex conversion provides? Its rather 3% as rare most likely will have 25 all stats or 25 dex/int as implicit. You can mix that but it wont do any major difference. I didnt included any other flat elemental dmg from the amulet or the fact that you can find one with accuracy or higher int and dex. The downsides as I wrote before are only in terms of accuracy and es but only slightly. But not in overall DPS that can easilly go higher. And rare can have other usefull stats like resistances or mf in my example. At a lower price (currently). I think thats enough said regarding this topic.

I'm sitting at 9150 ES in my hideout, but my tooltip is so much lower than everyone else's Sitting at 22k unbuffed in hideout. Any help there?	Posted by Eliqq#2301 on Jan 7, 2017, 7:05:15 AM Quote this Post
Hi-- just respecced last night and am having fun. But I seem to be taking large chunks of damage (gained back instantly).. is that normal or is there some way to mitigate this more? Playing in BHC with 9k ES. Will someone take a look at my profile and make suggestions?	Posted by lglkilVl#0565 on Jan 7, 2017, 10:29:33 AM Quote this Post

Also, your profile is not public	Posted by Eliqq#2301 on Jan 7, 2017, 5:10:41 PM Quote this Post
Taking big hits as ES character with almost none mitigation is quite "normall". The "key" here is to leech back all of it in-between hits. Currently this (large ES pool with high leech) is the most common defence technique in PoE. Which is sad but true.

Sorry, made the profile public... thought it was already set to open I have a CI pizza and the damage taken is just significantly different. I guess I can adjust the tree a bit and forgo the increase lightning damage to get more ES nodes. Should i be stressing more evasion rating? Mine is only at 873 with an accuracy of 81% Thanks for the help guys	Posted by lglkilVl#0565 on Jan 7, 2017, 6:16:49 PM Quote this Post
Sitting at 10.2k ES and 35k Tool Tip in hideout. Just trying to work up the courage to do a chayula breach run, not sure the damage is there to keep up. Heres my gear. gear EDIT - Just did chayula deathless. Thanks for the build once again.
