Riftling posted:My Explosive Arrow Scion has been working out pretty well. I'm wrapping up Cruel a3 right now and I have nearly 2.8k HP, run the Blood Magic keystone, Explosive Arrow + Chance to Ignite + Elemental Proliferation + Fire Penetration, and Split Arrow + Life on Hit + Blind + Chain. I typically run into a crowd, load up 5 explosive arrows on a mob, then can usually fire off 3 split arrows before everything is dead. If it's a very large group of enemies I'll pop a granite or a jade beforehand. I've had a couple of half-ish HP scares (mostly around a3 with lightning thorns on mobs), but other than that it's been really smooth sailing. I really wish I had made my EA Marauder a Scion instead. He looks so dorky with his little tiny bow! My set up is more or less the same, but running lmp too. Getting multiple overlapping explosions kicks rear end and clears out crowds drat fast. Will drop lmp out when/if I go for elemental equilibrium though.

WhiteOutMouse posted:Hrm? What file do I add this to? I am looking in my steamapps>common>Path of Exile folder as we speak. I think he means right clicking in your Steam library and finding the console line under Properties. If you can't solve the problem I'll offer to kill Dominus for you. I'd need to access your account obviously, but I won't mess with your poo poo and will toxx myself saying that or whatever. Fighting Dominus can really account for a very small portion of the game, so if you like it otherwise I'll get you through it and into Cruel. PM me here if you're interested.

Bingo posted:I really wish I had made my EA Marauder a Scion instead. He looks so dorky with his little tiny bow! IMO, drop LMP like a rock and go with EE. EA's biggest strength is in the ignite effect that comes after the explosion. LMP reduces the damage from that ignite effect, and EE amplifies it by a ton. Elites are the only things that don't instantly die from a 5-stacked explosion with EE up so far.

voltron lion force posted:You guys mean Elemental Proliferation right? Elemental Proliferation (EP) is the handy support gem that spreads ignite like wildfire to enemies that get hit by the explosion. Elemental Equilibrium (EE) is the keystone near the Scion start that reduces enemy resistances to elements you didn't just hit them with. EA characters usually have an item that adds cold or lightning damage to their attacks and will use split arrow with chain to hit everything on the screen with that damage type after they stack 5 EAs on the mob. That reduces their resistance to fire, increasing the explosion and resulting ignite damage.

It increases your resistance to the element with which you were just hit, but reduces your resistance to other elements. So you're in docks, tanking firedogs easily, but then a lightning exile pops up and one-shots you.

Working on my first summoner Witch. I had a hard time finding a guide online since the recent grid changes so I've been fumbling along on my own. Pretty exclusively focusing on getting to Minion Life and Health nodes, but I'm constantly tempted to pick up some +Crit nodes so I get to freeze/flame things more often with my spells while everything is distracted by my dudes. I'm passing up some Minion nodes because some Japanese guy did a bunch of math and concluded that Minion Damage nodes weren't really worth it compared to applying elemental damage to them instead. So what am I doing wrong? Because I know I'm missing something important, just don't know what. \/\/\/ Thanks, that first one looks like what I was going for. All the ones I found just by Googling around were broken by sphere grid changes, I didn't even think to try the official forums

There are two summoner guides within the first three posts of the Witch forum. A lot of people are adverse to traversing official forums, but PoE's official forums are actually pretty good and have a lot of great information. The class section is where you're going to find the vast majority of build guides and theorycraft. There's a lot of non-optimal things in your build. I suggest reading through those two guides and coming back with more specific questions.

Does anyone have 1 or 2 good 1h weapons on Nemesis in the low to mid 50's? My weapons are becoming outdated, and after farming Docks Cruel for about 5 levels I haven't seen anything drop, much less anything good. Also, moving on to piety and dominus on cruel, what stats should I be aiming for? I'm at about 2050hp, 75% resist all except chaos, and around 50% damage mitigation from armor.

So I finally 5L'ed my Quill Rain and I know there's been a lot of talk about EA on here recently, but I think the bulk of it was buried too far back in the thread. So... what the gently caress is a good build for it, and how does it fare for end-game mapping? Can you just not do ele reflect maps period, or do you have to go super-slow or something? Help my goons, you're my only hope. Also I might just sell this instead. Hauki fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Nov 15, 2013 |

Who like's min maxing?!? Current spec is Rain of Arrows, Bow does 315 physical dps and 358 total dps, 1.55 APS. RoA + Blood Magic + Life Leech + Conc Effect + WED Auras are lvl 21 Hatred, Wrath, Grace. Option 1 +296 Max Life +206% Max life 2.9% Life regen 30% reduced dmg from crit strikes unwavering 36% projectile dmg 55% Attack Speed 74% phys dmg + 66% from Iron Grip Option 2 +226 Max life +240% Max Life 2% Life Regen 30% Chance to avoid Stun 51% projectile dmg 67% Attack Speed 146% Physical dmg So basically losing 30% crit reduction, unwavering, 70 max life and .9% life regen. Gaining 34% Max life, 15% projectile dmg, 12% attack speed, 4% phys damage. Do you think that max life would make up for all the other defensive stuff I'm losing?

Help my goons, you're my only hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5rWlhQ4SB0 this is a good build to follow. As for reflect, you just take it super slow against reflect mobs and only fire one or two arrows in at a time. I haven't gotten my EA guy to maps yet so I don't know how to deal with ele reflect maps.

Yeah, there's been two. The purges will slow down, it's just goons are famous for playing something for a couple days and quitting. After the first purge, the guild filled up again in a day. Last purge was tuesday, and we've been slowly filling, but there's still like 20 spots. Probably won't be one for a little bit.

10bux posted:Weapon specific > 2hand/1hand > melee physical. It looks like you have access to clusters of every different type of weapon, maybe spec into one of those if you wanted damage? You could probably get better damage per point if you did. Also there's Iron Grip if you're ST (75 projectile damage not including your gear), but I'm guessing you're ground slam or something? I'm leap slam/heavy strike. Using a Maul currently but while it's good (91& phys dmg, 21-39 phys, 12% atk speed) I wasn't sure if it'd be worth building around. I still foolishly hold out for the hope of a Kaom's dropping, or the unique 2h mace, but unless they drop from piety I'm far from having any chance as I can't even get higher than a 66 map to drop. Spending 5 points on mace skills would mean getting Baptism by Light and Skull Cracking though, in addition to 10% mace/armor and 12% mace 8% armor nodes, so It's definitely a lot more dps, going to check it out. whypick1 posted:Goddammit, I'm going to be stuck with this forever, aren't I? Pretty sure there's better weapons than that in the guild stash.

I went back to playing a Heavy Strike / Slam / Leap Marauder next to my ST Scion. It's still far and away the strongest character I played from scratch, although the slow sweeping with misses is a little irritating at the start. It's just, once you get Blood Magic and Resolute Technique, you feel like such a machine. My current on is level 37 (respecced from another build), but I started a new one because I found a unique Sledgehammer. Over 100 top damage on level 17 seems pretty strong! I got 4 sockets in with one orb, 3 of them being linked. I don't dare to spend more orbs to get it 4 linked really, as I presume the chances will be really slim? My Scion is doing well in Act 1 Cruel so far, although I'm taking it really slow. I don't know what really changes, and while my resistances are nearly all maxed out, I do notice quite a higher damage intake. Maybe I'll try and get a good 1h so I can throw with a shield on. I took the Blood gem to spend life instead of mana, but I'm actually killing myself with it. It's fairly common to lose 200 life against a few trash monsters, and that's just too risky. I presume my leech / damage aren't high enough to use it yet.

I am running into a similar issue in A3M. My damage output isn't enough to keep me healed, via lgoh, through the increased damage these mobs are doing. I desperately need a higher DPS 2h sword, but I don't have 10+ exalts to spend on one with the slots I need. If only the sword I am using had the 5L colors I need, I could do better, but honestly I can't complain when the thing was given to me by a generous goon. It would be so much worse, otherwise. And with my resistances in need of work, all I can run is The Docks... over, and over, and over, etc.

You should probably swap out lgoh for life leech, it'll be much better if your dps is over 1k.
