I dont Get it, why should Melee PH Damage should be better then Increased Minion Damage?? Melee PH Damage only applies to the Physical damage which SRS Does but they do 3 Kinds of Damage (Physical, Fire, Burning) So would Minion Damage Increase all 3 Types instead of just Physical. Or am I Wrong?

The physical damage is being converted into 50% fire damage from the gem itself, and another big number is added as cold. But all this damage scales from the base physical damage too (since its converted/added as %phys)

The wiki on it: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Damage_conversion

"Converted damage is affected by modifiers that apply to be both the original damage type it was converted from, and the new damage type that is was converted to. For example Fire Damage that is added by the Added Fire Damage gem will be affected by both increased Physical Damage modifiers and increased Fire Damage modifiers."

@Falagar Vurn is worse, since most part of the damage is elemental, not physical (i believe roughly 75% of the total damage, maybe even more, is elemental)

Thank you Leary for clearifying that.

And regarding my curses, since bosses has a 60% reduced curse effect on them I have decided to remove it entirely.
My gear section should display my current setup. You could always check my stream for live kills :)

I think you will do best in poping in to my stream and ask that question or preferably pm me in-game when you see me so i can somewhat demonstrate/show you when i explain as it is a lot of things to go through on that question!

I'll try but not being on the same time zone I think i'm rarely connected when you play.

Got my first atziri kill this evening. Got 91 beforehand for inner force and it probably helped that I took my time and stopped forgetting to charge all gems, or to switch whenever necessary.
Died twice, can probably do better.

Not sure i'll keep going at it though, doesn't seem really profitable at the moment.

You either get lucky on hopes/sceptres and it's profitable, or it isn't :p
27 kills now and still no hopes/sceptres, getting silly.

6 kills, 6 flasks for me... 2 non trash uniques, 2 uber frag (not hope obviously).
Not worth the price of the frags ^^.
Lots of maps, but the level is too low.

I think i'd rather try to get levels now.

What do you think about using brotem for levelling instead of zombies it goes spell totem > summon skellies> faster casting > blind?

Taking minion HP nodes early on seems to be overwhelming.

Also what's the reasoning behind leaving skill duration for the last? This seems to be strong DPS-wise

Any idea where I can find the passive skill tree? I am doing a similar build and am curious how far off I am. Would love to see your skill tree! or someone elses that is using this build and running it well.

p.s. I did try viewing the passive skill tree that is one page 1, but it is loading a blank skill tree.

you received an answer to this question but in addition to that remember that melee physical damage is "more" so that means it's a multiplicative bonus to damage as opposed to the additive dps bonus minion damage would give you.

I have just moved to this build from a modified version of the hybrid one by MatrixFactor.

This is my gear


I'm still fiddling with gem setup, have some spare slots because desecrate is on weapon swap for now, and i can't sustain my old lvl 21 AA (gonna get a lower level one)

I didn't play much tonight, ran a precinct with various extra damage, dual boss whatever, everything is faceroll now really, the damage gained from the switch is amazing, but as i suspected i'm much more squishy now than i was before (gone from 3.9k unreserved life + 4.8k ES to 6.6k ES).

Tomorrow i'm running a standard atziri, but honestly, it was on the "Pfft roflmao" level of farming before, now i wonder if she will be able to actually get a spell off xD

Improving the gear is gonna be difficult, as i play in rampage, upgrades would cost a good amount of orbs, if i was ever able to find them while keeping resistances capped. I'm slightly overcapped so i could even switch around something, where do you think i should focus more? As in, which piece of gear is the worst and i should actually look for an upgrade?

Thanks!

Can always ignore cold res in the end as it is a shitty for end game content.
