Why not stick it in the +2cold weapon?

Like this you mean?

Can't since I use a swap 6L chober spectre summoning. Had the idea of freeze mine + empower + AA before getting chober to 6L, but without prolifiration it has no point, so it was an easy decision to remove it. It could work theoretically, but I think overleveled AA outweights freeze mine any day.


Edit

I though any penetration can't lower resists past 0.

Penetration is actually better than lowering resist.

For example, even if a mob has 1000 resists, penetration will take it to 75, then set it at 40 for a maxed gem. Penetration is calculated last, so if your -resists are still leaving them at 75, it'll only lower to 40. BUT, if your -resists was able to take a mob to 75 and below, then cold pen is still a flat -35.

For example, using the 6.6K mine example above. Against a 0 resist mob, Frostbite, Elemental Weakness, Cold Penetration, Freeze Mine, and Elemental Equilibrium will take a mob to -208 Frost resist, making for effectively 20k+ Freeze Mines.

For a more realistic example, say you run across a mob that has Cold Resist and the Resist Aura. We'll say his resist is 150 (75, but he has 75 overcap), and your only bothering to Elemental Weakness and Frostbite.

First 2 curses subtract 108, setting him at 42. Cold Pen will now take him to 7.

Lets say your extra lazy, and only Frostbite him. Hes now at 101 Cold Resist (75 effective, but he had overcapped). Now your cold pen comes in, sets his cold res to 75 (negating his overcap) and putting him at 40 frost resist now.

freeze mines also gives u -15% cold resist for frozen enemies. So far am really liking the freeze mines although there seems to be too many things to do now before the mobs die I might drop a curse.

New unique knife has potential with animate guardian DPS version.

30% Increased Desecrate damage? Yes please!

Edit: Posted before realizing this dagger would probably end up being cost prohibitive from using on a Guardian. Oh well :(

This will be so op. 30% with a 304% multiplier? Would love to see that.

Whad do you think about buffed added damage supports? Maybe AG could use them to actually attack now?

I have a question about minions and MF.

Is the minion's MF calculated when i raise it? Or when it kills a mob does it check my gear to determine MF?

lets say i have a great MF weapon on swap, if i summon with my main weapons and then switch to the MF weapon when the minions are about to kill a boss, will it use the MF weapon to calculate what drops?


To generalize that question: Is MF calculated from my gear to minions a snapshot? or is it calculated at the moment they kill something?


edit: found the answer in a different thread http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/42111

When a minion gets a kill, any IIQ/IIR from support gems affecting that minion gem area pplied, and then the kill is assigned you as the owner of the minion, so your IIQ/IIR from gear are applied.

basically means calculated at time of kill

Minions IIR/IIQ has always been calculated at the time of the kill.

The only affect snapshotting would have if you were to snap shot the iir/iiq gem into the minion.

How the heck do you guys run so many auras at the same time? I can barely support two auras.

reduced mana gem and reduced mana reservation nodes.

So I'm planning on eventually picking up a shav's so I can run more auras and I just thought of something.....

Panicked Flasks of Animation.

Would it be worth running a midnight's bargain to trigger the Low Life status to be able to use these flasks?

These would be MASSIVE amounts of extra healing, I'll already be reserving 54% of my life so if for whatever reason all my ES gets drained the HP buffer probably wouldn't be enough anyways. The extra boost to minion healing though seems pretty big.

Speaking of massive amounts of flask minion healing.

Was thinking in theory about a AG scentric build.

With Belly of the Beast and marauder/duelist start to get to skill duration/flask heal easier.
With the buff to ele damage supports AG with fast 30% ele damage weapon + damage auras may be ok. And with 110% increased flask heals - instant heal turnes into 892.
Get some flask heal from belt, maybe (if there be enough passives) get to witch flask nodes and keeping AG alive will become pretty easy. Against one-shot bosses one could use freeze mine.
Skill duration with ele damage supports makes AW not that bad, when they fix ilvl requirements to work in highest lvl maps that is.
