J posted:Are there any builds out there besides ancestral warchief berserker that are tanky enough to comfortably do full key uber lab runs, that also have enough damage to do uber atziri? Trying to avoid playing that again but it does seem to be the best build that comes to mind for what I'm looking to do. Dark Pact Berserker. You need more life to survive 1-shots than other people (10% inc damage from berserker and also the 6% life cost of DP just to be safe) but that's easy to do when life scales your damage and you start as a Marauder, it has insane clearspeed, can wear Bisco's, hits 1mil+ DPS and 8 casts per sec that all insta-leech to full. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Sep 4, 2017 |

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Are there any builds out there that use Wrath? I feel like I see a bunch of Hatred and the occasional Anger for fire-heavy builds, but even lightning builds don't seem to use Wrath much. Builds stacking flat ele damage that aren't pure fire tend to use Wrath. IIRC it's got more added damage than Anger.

dumb question maybe but is there a way to reply to someone who messages you without finding their drat name and typing it or clicking it to whisper them, seems like a pretty basic chat feature

I like the lab on characters that I design specifically to run the things. My Lioneye Slayer could handle it effortlessly, my others could tolerate it, and my VP Dark Pact Berserker loving hated it.

My scorching grandpa handles the lab fine and facetanks argus or fully buffed izaro np. Lots of people are running spongy life builds with kaoms roots (so no stibnite) and few actual defenses other than leech. Regen is your ally in the lab.

I use wands and teleport past all the traps and you can do the same thing with leap slam too if you want to use one of the melee builds  They're very easy to avoid when you have some practice doing lab.

I came back to this game after a long break and got my first character to maps , but I'm a bit stumped on what I should be improving. I'm doing a little weak on defenses and my damage is OK in T4-5 maps, but I haven't tried any further. I picked up a Queen of the Forest so I swapped from Hatred to Grace. I only have ~15 chaos right now, but I'm not too rushed, what would you do to improve this character? This link should work, the level 73 Raider if that isn't obvious. Coming from D3, running lower level maps feels kinda lackluster, but I'm sure it gets more satisfying with later stuff.

I honestly really enjoy uberlab on my QOTF/Dreamfeather Blade Flurry Gladiator It was also fun on my Soul Taker/BoR cleave gladiator last league. What I'm saying is gladiator is good and strong and is also my friend It is god drat miserable on my RF character though.

I feel I have hosed up somehow. I only have 5000 hp and I bought a Belly of the Beast and putting it on results in basically the same hp. I should have done path of building first. At least I can resell it or use it on another character. I dunno if I want to keep playing this guy or make a new one but any advice is welcome. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/beejaywl/characters (the berserker obv)

If you do labyrinth on a vaal pact just bring a 3rd health potion so you can just run through the majority of traps, I've got no trouble with the traps on a high health vaal pact. uber lab is also great money if you can regularly get the 2 bonus izaro keys, 2 curious chests and twice blessed and extra key darkshrines, good way to get a lot of leveled 20% quality gems you can use for yourself/alts or lots of GCP and I made 200 chaos selling a devoto with cyclone attack speed on it, that I probably could of sold for 300 chaos if I held on longer.

That's why the % increase from belly doesn't do much.

Doc Walrus posted:Here's the character link: You don't have Vaal Pact which makes all the Berserker Leech nodes, which will be your primary method of survivability, worthless. The life you leech per second is capped so having 100% of damage dealt as leech does nothing for you, Vaal Pact will remove that limitation and heal you to full instantly every time you swing. You also don't need to take dedicated leech nodes when you're a Berserker. VP disables regen so drop the regen nodes when you get it (you only have 2 I think) Further recommendations would be to drop the +resist nodes because it's easy to get resist capped from gear alone, and also drop the +armor nodes unless you're planning on stacking armor super high but you don't really need to do that when you have Berserker leech + VP, and drop the You can take Resolute Technique (you're already right next to it) to have 100% accuracy and not deal crits, you're not building for Crit so this is a good tradeoff and lets you drop your accuracy nodes too. Basically get Vaal Pact then focus all your other points on Max Life and doing more damage deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Sep 5, 2017 |

The flask for ES is Vaal Discipline but it's been nerfed, I'm not sure if it's really worth using anymore. If you want to run both Life + ES my favorite way to do it is to take MoM + Eldritch Battery + Zealot's Oath. EB makes ES cover your mana instead of your life, then MoM makes 30% of your damage taken hit your ES instead of life, and ZO makes your ES constantly regenerate. This also lets you reserve 100% of your mana on auras and still use ES in place of mana to cast/attack. The end result is 30% of your damage taken is taken by ES, you get an extra aura or two, and you stack life and rely on non-VP leech or flasks to heal it. The actual ES number doesn't matter too much here, even ~1500-2k is fine if you run a Stone Golem or have some other regen. I can't give any advice about using ES for other things though because it's been nerfed so heavily this league I didn't even want to try.

I've refunded everything I can, only 3 nodes away from VP now. Then I guess I'll keep hitting HP% nodes. Thanks fellas!
