3.7| Stress Free PoE - SLOW-MO ZOMBIES |Clear the Atlas with YOUR Items at YOUR Pace (SSF & Co-op)
"Hey Orhaldor, Good question and great notes! You've got a good plan! I will likely not be adding any specific levelling section as everyone likes to prioritize differently when it comes to gems, links, gear, tree. If people are new I find they learn best by making their own choices and seeing the pros and cons. And if someone knows the game well, they don't need the levelling section. I find that if you simply take all nodes as they come (I prefer to start on the right side of the tree), without leaving any nodes behind to come back to, your character will be well balanced with both offence and defence. That being said though if you think I'm missing something in the guide that you think is important (and isn't a personal preference) let me know for sure. What kind of things would you like to see in a Q&A? https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

" For example my question: ''Why there isn't leveling section?'' Answer: ''...'' And one more: ''How this build feelings in the Azurite mine and against end-game bosses like Atziri, Shaper, Elder e.t.c?'' |

I had no idea minions do such ridiculous amount of damage these days.
Zombies barely die without any specific items unlike some years back where I had to resurrect them constantly. Skeleton damage seem through the roof too. Going through the game has been so easy even in hc ssf. Thanks for the guide. |

"K. Thanks for the suggestions. The videos I have linked may answer some of those questions for you but I'll consider some changes for 3.8's guide. If your last question was a real question as well as an example question, the build is great against all of the above. The minions destroy everything. The epic battles are more about being familiar with the battle. So if you've been there before and know how it works, the build will crush them. If not, you'll die before your minions do. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

"Hey Fapmobile, Your welcome! I'm glad you're liking it! A couple of expansions ago, GGG added a few more minion nodes to the tree. It wasn't a minion specific expansion, but it made minion builds less dependant on Convocation. Then they added more damage to Fortify Support :). But ya, minions are really strong. There are SO many options for them. I'm glad you're liking the build! HC SSF is nuts. Let us know how it goes! If you have any suggestions for the build or the guide please let me know. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey Wrecker, I really enjoy your build so far, but I'm hitting a brick wall in survivability now that I'm mapping. My minions have no problem taking things down as long as I can keep them on my target, but sometimes some heavy hitting mobs will lob something right past my minions and just 1-shot me..
Anyway, that's not really my question... My Purifying Flame doesn't seem to be working. I'm using 2 1-handers and in my offhand I have cast when dmg taken-purifying flame-and spirit offering. I stopped leveling them at your posted levels (2, 12, and 8 respectively) yet I never see it proc. Any ideas what I could be missing? Thanks in advance and keep up your great work :) |

" Hey LordBudigert, Thanks for such kind words. I appreciate it. If you have suggestions for the guide in any way please let me know. In regards to getting one-shot, there's just over 40% life on the tree you haven't taken yet. I know you can only take nodes one at a time so just be sure to pick them up when you can. Also, your gear doesn't have much for life on it. Start looking for gear that has "maximum life" rolls. You'll eventually want all your gear to have +100 to max life. But just start with 50 and work your way up as gear drops. Don't worry about your amulet yet as it seems to be where you get your Dex from. You'll notice a huge difference once that happens. And don't forget to keep resists maxed. Even if you have 65% in a resist, having 75% is a HUGE difference. Regarding CwDT, everything looks to be set up properly and I don't see anything in your gear that conflicts with it. Maybe go to a low level map in the story and only equip your weapon that has the CwDT links. See if it goes off (remember, they'll be doing really low damage so wait a bit). I hope that helps. Let me know if it doesn't or if you need anything else. And thanks again. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hello Wrecker,
I just wanted to say thank you for making your builds so easy to understand for new players like me. It brought me to red maps with no problem, only when I started Elder and t16 bosses I had to change my strategy a bit, get specialized gear which gave me more survivability with +ES and +life as well as switch from consecrated path to using storm brand+curse on hit+tc instead of blashphemy+tc (thanks reddit!). (This is my current state of affairs, if anyone is interested) I also liked that I had no problem starting delve, and so far the only thing limiting me there is my limited supply of sulphite, haha. Overall this way a really smooth league starting experience for me :) So thanks again a lot! |

"Thanks syntheticants, You're very kind to take the time to be thankful. Your build is very different from mine. It looks fantastic and complicated :). I'm happy to have helped in whatever little way I did. Great job getting to the center of the Atlas as a new player! How new is new? I see all your characters are Legion. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Aug 8, 2019, 2:17:49 PM

" Thanks again for the replies and help. I was able to max out my resistances (except chaos) with a few small crafts, and I see where I missed some life nodes. Knowing me I "saw something shiny" and got distracted from where I was going on the tree. As far as Purifying, I tested it with just that equipped and it does appear to be working, I guess I just cant see, or was expecting a different visual effect. I don't see consecrated ground for example, just looks like my head is on fire. Anyway, thanks for the guidance, I'll be working with it! Thanks! |
