" It changed a lot based on my gear (obviously), but I always stayed between 9k and 10.5k es. It changed depending on whether or not I had vaal regalia, sky forth, my rare amulet with flat and % es, and whether or not I used HH. I never went below 9k though. At the very end with headhunter I had 9.5k es. " You swap HoA out for HoI, I don't think you could swap out anything else. Running HoI unlinked to enlighten was fine, since I still had the reduced mana reservation nodes on the tree at that point. After getting Skyforth, a level 4 enlighten, and switched to HoA I was able to drop all of the reservation nodes. |

" Hey, looking at the screenshot of your DPS, I'd say the main difference is crit multi. Your crit multi is only 313% whereas I was rocking 500+%. Therein lies the reason for the discrepancy in DPS. " Hey Noxy! Glad you're enjoying the build! Your DPS is higher than mine even without Abyssus! " Hey! Glad to hear that! I would probably invest in better jewels. Focus on those with 2 x crit multi and at least 1 x attack speed. Those will bring up your DPS significantly without costing too much. " Gratz puncayshun, Hitting 100 in HC is no mean feat! It was certainly great fun watching you progress from your initial starting gear to where you're at now! Great suggestions btw, very helpful. " It'll definitely provide higher DPS compared to mine, but is likely comparable to those with similar flat phys, high WED and crit multi. The only downside is losing the %ES craft, but since that's not the end of the world for you then it shouldn't be a problem! " Pity that, it does have a nice flat ES roll! " I haven't played LS recently so I can't really comment much. I should however mention that the main downside of LS is the projectiles' inability to go past pebbles/stones, which can be quite infuriating at times. As of now, I would still consider FB the superior skill due to the threshold jewels and the FB projectiles being able to auto-aim and not be blocked by stones/pebbles. LS base attack damage bonus is otherwise decent, so if you're willing to overlook its downside, you should be fine.

Hello guys,
First of all thx a lot for the guide and all the very informative answers. Now I'm a pretty new Poe player (played a bit during Perandus then nothing until this league) and I've opted for your build since the beginning of the league. Everything has been going well but I'm now feeling kind of stuck. I can run up to T10 quite efficiently but I, for example, don't feel like running breach leaguestones because my damage feels too low to kill the rare and I often die because I'm getting overwhelmed by the rare monsters spawning, even though I'm currently standing at almost 8k Es and I've all resist capped. Could you have a look at my character and maybe give a few advice as to the things that might help me with the aforementioned problem? I'll soon fix the part of the tree around Vaal Pact but I'm not sure about the next points. Maybe the flask nodes? As to the gear I guess I should get a better amulet/ring? I bought a steel ring with 20pdmg and it barely increases my ho DPS, is it "normal"? Thx a lot for your help and keep on producing such quality yet understandable content!! P.S.: I guess getting 20/20 gems will help a lot and I'll be working toward it but should I make it my absolute priority? |

I have an open prefix on a claw, what would be more beneficial: WED or flat cold?

So, was trying to craft an Archon Kite Shield I had as I had a legacy one with the implicit 24% All Resist on it to try that out instead of my current shield. I'd lose some ES initially, but could maybe swap around my rings for something a bit better on stats. Anyways...now I REALLY don't want to try and craft this any further...
I hit Seeraphim and Virrtuso (hybrid and Intelligence) on an eventual Alt + Augment and then the Regal was Interpolated (T2, not high enough ilvl for T1), and that by itself is amazing. This is one of those times I REALLY, REALLY wish I had Eternal Orbs to spare. I mean, I can Master Craft flat ES just to block out all Prefixes, and pray I get lucky with Exalts on the suffixes (dream would be high Strength and % All Resist), and then I would have to try and get high flat ES after that. But...yeah...good luck with that. :\ |

So I jokingly picked up a regalia out of guild stash and said I'd make my gg chest, and after 500 jewellers for vorici coloring and ~40 chaos I actually kinda did:
problem is I'm undercapped on lightning resist with it, which piece should I replace? I think the only thing I can feasibly replace is the ring with multi, I'm pretty sure the hysteria belt is better than one with 40% wed. I could try and squeeze all resist onto my shield, but I doubt that would be attainable. aside from the juggling there, I'm pretty much done gear-wise until I can get ele weakness shaper's touch

" You should try to get a 60% stun resist boots (80% would be awesome), this will allow you to use a steel ring instead of valyrium. After that you need a high flat phys dmg + crit multi amulet. These changes will give a boost in your DPS |
