Patch 0.9.12qq includes a Legacy Migration
" He's right, if a bit rude. ES later in the game is simply the cheapest and BEST way of gaining HP. Marauders are a very close second. If you so concerned about stun, get unwavering or eye of cthulu, that you dont simply states that you don't NEED it, you just feebly point out one small flaw in the ES defense system, which although a decent flaw, is negligible in the face of slurms having 11-13k ES. Facts considering, at lvl 60 I managed to get 6k ES with maybe 6 or 7 passives, and I had 20% chance to evade. ES is stronger then the alternatives, but I like where its at, armor needs a bit of tweaking and evasion needs a basic overhaul. |

" I have a few end-game marauders, though I've only run some 60 maps with them. Having armor doesn't really mitigate crits, you don't really need it. It's a luxury. All it takes to kill a CI user is a single freeze (it lasts like 10 seconds). Granted, dream fragments cancels that weakness out, but you can't expect everyone to have this. It's a fairly expensive/rare item. ES needs some rebalancing, but we hardly need to double the amount of life available to end-game marauders. Nor should we punish ES users as a whole, who I feel are actually in a horrible way right now (please try using hybrid ES/armor ES/eva gear without CI. Then try using them with CI - it's a joke; you need to use pure ES armor if you're going to use ES, and you need to use CI). My Keystone Ideas: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/744282

" For a certain subset of PvP, characters will only allowed to be level 28 and not have moved on to cruel yet. This is nice because you can plan out a build using the exact points you gain in those 28 level and roll for the sweetest gear for level 28, and you won't have to worry about grinding forever. Although, the builds will probably be less robust and creative than those that use skill points to branch out far into the tree. But, it is an option, and it's one I'd expect to be fairly popular. |

To the guy who said his brother has 15k, tell your brother to stop investing in so many ES% nodes. They're worthless.

maybe his brother is a ninja that runs maps with others,
he stays alife and picks up all the goodies^^ es is good but not that necessary overall i have 5.1k es and due to the fact that i attack from the distance it is qute enoght. i like that you don't have to invest a lot of passive skill point into es because most of it comes from gear, so there are plenty points left for other usefuller nodes^^ <3ggg Last edited by moomaaru#4809 on Oct 6, 2012, 9:27:02 PM

" I haven't tried HC yet but in default I run a low armour hybrid with 4K HP and 1.7K ES build. To be honest, I don't recall a late game death, (and yes I've had a few deaths), that was due to low armour. High armour may be essential for melee chars with no ranged attack, (Facebreaker build?), but for those with a primary ranged attack, elemental and chaos dmg are a fair bigger threat than any mob that does physical dmg. I imagine any char with ~10K ES and a ranged attack is doing it pretty easily. OB: BazzVone - 83 Dual Spork Totem Templar /w CI and minions
CB: BazzVfourteen - 80 Dual Spork Totem Templar /w CI CB: BazzVtwo - 73 Dual Spork Totem/LS Templar CB: BazzVseven - 76 Lightning Strike Mara CB: BazzVfive - 78 Lightning Strike Mara |

I have built up a stonkingly wealthy character.
But I support the legacy migration. It was long overdue. Several migrations overdue, actually. POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!
