Build of the Week: Season 2 Episode 4 (Two-week Race Build)
|
Through some good crafting methodology you can definitely get gear like this, though you are susceptible to bad RNG. Don't forget that strongboxes exist in this league, either.
Feedback: You didn't note what gems and links are very well. Melee Physical, Blood Magic, Multistrike, .... and I don't think the last one was ever noted (Melee Splash?) They also aren't listed in the thread, what links to what (Reduced Mana-Grace-Hatred in 3L, CwDT (level x)-Enduring Cry (level x)-Immortal Call (level x) in that specific order to have immediate proc with endurance charges, etc) Melee physical also only applies to the initial hit and not the projectiles, so perhaps something like Added Fire or even Weapon Elemental Damage would be better? Especially with so much conversion to elemental damage and Hatred. To follow up to this, perhaps the Duelist start wasn't the best choice for this build. Melee physical damage gets somewhat wasted though not entirely, but you might be better off going Marauder and getting some 1 handed passives somewhere (Strong Arm, By The Blade, etc). I would really think that getting more damage in general would be good. Especially since some of the items are pretty damn crazy by a lot of people's standards... Of course as other people are noting, Iron Grip and Point Blank would be really good to get. The build was very well displayed though. I like the amount of time and effort put into this video, it really shows how passionate you guys are about this race and how much work you're willing to put into it. Great job :) Current IGN: twitchtvTheuberelite http://twitch.tv/theuberelite - I stream sometimes. Last edited by TheuberClips#2320 on May 6, 2014, 1:48:41 AM

" Doesn't have to be a lie, but yeah if it's selffound Chris was incredibly lucky lol. " Evasion in a hardcore league? Not really viable for newbies (which this video is targeted to). " The build isn't even close to optimal, as some have pointed out it lacks damage but can be fixed quite easily without losing much defences. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

In a race this long, is trading allowed?
And if so, how and where is it done to avoid been disqualified. I.E. can we only use the global trade within the game? To Die Is Not An Option, To Fight Until DIESync Is The Only Answer. ☺☻☺
Happy Hunting Exiles. |

The choice to use melee physical really confuses me. I thought it doesn't effect the projectiles at all. If he is using melee splash I guess I get it... Seems rather odd though.

" Sad true. In OB, I waited few months to drop my first 200+ pDPS 1H weapon. Though I don't trade I have habit of storing everything remotely useful I drop, and it's best weapon my Ambush summoner dropped on her way to 75 lvl: And I leveled from 65 to 75 lvl on Piety run with about ~80% rarity. After this, I logged off and gone to look for some loot finder game. And I'm not going to return for any events. " It's converted damage, the best is to increase base for conversion, works the same for Lighting Strike. Anticipation slowly dissipates... Last edited by tmaciak#3784 on May 6, 2014, 2:08:18 AM

For links with Molten Strike, here's my recommendations. Firstly, take both Iron Grip and Point Blank keystones. And use Hatred aura.
Links-Molten Strike + Weapon Elemental Dmg + Conc. Effect + GMP + Faster Attacks + Multistrike. The idea is that that's a lot of multipliers and so every point in 'increased damage' has an outsized effect since it's multiplied by so many things (WED, Conc. Effect, Point Blank, your insane speed, etc.) Melee Physical Damage gem DOES NOT work on the projectiles (confirmed on the wiki), so drop it. GMP, meanwhile, can shotgun very effectively with this skill, especially with Conc. Effect too. You can also choose to switch either of those last two for a Fire Penetration gem or a Life Leech gem or both. A crit build would switch the last two for the 2 crit gems instead.

" You know what, i think it was totaly worth it! Video is awesome and the guide is really good. I really hope it will help newer players a lot :D And you could somehow pin this guide to the top of the news, or make a link to it in the race post so people can see it! IGN: bambucha

Good Idea to do such a Example-Build for this Times BotW & a really good "Road Map" for hopefully more new Players to come to Wraeclast with the 2-Week-Event!
Keep calm, play PoE, drink Tea & listen to Prog!

Hmm i have a version of this on my duelist that i think makes better use of the points acquiring way more block chance and sword/axe/one hand nodes
Sword version: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBAecFLQbuEPAS4RQgFHEYkRjbGlUa2xutIWAj9iSbJy8nTymlMn40NTboOJY6Uj3iQKBEgUTnR35I7kp9TipQR1PfVvpY21pIW69fP2BLYSFjF2SjZU1noGoebmlyqXTtdPF2K3bneu982YCKhNmE74d2l3CZK5stm4OezaC0pKynMKgYq8Wsr6-itxe307yfvYG-p8APwQfSIdJN1FLXftfL3Q3jn-RR6hjuDu8O7_DxivIv8wb3MvdN97746_uq_MU= Axe version: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBAecFLRLhE0wUIBRxGJEaVRrbG60j9iSbJd8m-CcvJ08ppTBPMHcyfjboOJY6Uj3iRIFE50d-SO5KfU4qUEdT31b6WNtaSFuvXz9gS2EhZKNlTWWnZ6BqHmqTbmlyqXTtdit253rvfNmAioTZhO-GYId2lZuZK5stm4OezaC0pKynMKgYq8Wsr7ZBtxe307yfvYG-p8APwaPSIdJN1e3Xy90N4mHjn-RR6hjuDu8O7_DxivIv8wb3MvdN97746_uq_MU= The other nodes can be allocated in anything you need,i picked some more block chance and life/armor. |
