Just making sure that the poe wiki is correct in that The Vertex doesn't reduce the Mana Reservation on those 3 Auras.



It reduces the mana reservation by making your enlighten +1 (to 4/5)? Also just synergises well with escape artist/is a good defensive helm.

Edit: My bad, re-read what you said. It doesn't innately reduce the reservation no, but it's still a decent defensive option and gives +1 to the auras irrespective of enlighten levels.

So I'm currently trying to level (I'm 94 right now, but have died a bunch this level), and while I don't normally feel too squishy, I'm dying way too often (mostly to stupid crap, but I'm not the best player).

I have 4.3k health, 908 energy shield, with flasks up I'm at 63% evade attacks, 44% dodge attacks, 58% dodge spells. Can anyone recommend some changes, either with my gear or to my tree, to help me against big attacks that seem to chunk me down very quickly?

My damage is pretty good, it doesn't seem to be the problem.

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll try to aquire it then, as soon as my Enlighten hits Level 3 (it takes way too long...)

Hey sorry but i wanted to ask what do you think about maloneys mechanism with these 3 gems - frenzy - arrow nova support - caustic arrow setup? i see alot of people using that on poe.ninja and i dont know what to do honestly
You can get frenzy mod from crafted chest and I wouldn't pass on ~40% combined dot multi from double dot quiver if you can get one. 1-link caustic arrow is probably not gonna do any impactful damage.

If you want to play around with automatic stuff you can try asenath's chant helmet but warning few pages ago someone said it caused lots of fps drops.

Switch to ES based gloves. Switching body armour to the perfect form is also a very defensive boost as stated in the guide, it will free up passives that you currently need for acrobatics. I'm currently running it and I barely die. Also try getting some extra ES on jewellery. Besides all that I can recommend taking survivalist on tree.
I'm surprised I don't see more people using Asenath's Chant. I added a 4L soulrend at first and it felt amazing. I've since changed it to a SR/ED setup to help with single target damage. I see others on poe.ninja opting for four spells of SR/ED/Contagion/Despair but this did not feel good to me.

Thanks, I made your suggestions and now I have 4.7k life, 1.2k ES.

This still happened just now though: https://streamable.com/65mubj

I suppose I should be shooting before I move into that position, but I'm not sure. I'm getting kind of fed up with dying.

Not really much you could have done there: the mobs had Martyr's touch on them from the spirit which instantly DD'd you basically.

Unless you're habitually checking packs to see what mods they have (omegalul) then there was nothing you could have done unless you/your mirage archer popped them before you reached them.

Not really a build/gear issue; more of a dumb mechanic.

Hey,

i am actually bow crafting, got the following result and not sure how to continue...
I know that Damage over Time Multiplier would be the optimal outcome, but are there other worth options? e.g. i got +1 gems and Culling Strike the try before

Why are you crafting a bow before linking it? You're losing all the nice quality you can get on it.
