I�m struggling in incursions with arc totems. I�m ok levelling but not spitting out enough damage to kill the boss quick enough.

Level 33ish and my totems are only doing 300dps each, and I�ve got the +1 totes perk.

What else am I supposed to do after dropping them. Besides not dying.

I can't seem to see your tree, but the very first thing I see: you're not a hiero yet you gimp your dps using totem, put arc in a proper +1 3L wand as mentioned up-thread.

Do I want to reroll a blue to red to get it totem-able? Or just keep it as castable arc for a while?

Is there any way to make this game run better on my potato or a PC? Or am I doomed to buy a new PC?

I�m running a quad core 3.30, and it�s at about 90% cpu load all the time. It�ll also freeze then play catch up.

Can someone give me some advice what to upgrade next? I�m an Elemental hit Deadeye.

I�m managing about t11/12 maps, but getting spanked by the elder guardians. So I�m pretty sure I need more health.

I�d like a Prismatic Ring, but that�s about 3ex and I�ve only got about 80c to my name just now.

First off, what the hell do you mean by a "Prismatic Ring"? That's an item type.
Looks like you forgot to do merc lab. Go do it!
That Call of the Brotherhood isn't doing very much for you now that the ehit jewels got nerfed. Swap it out for a ring with a ton of life and edwa that still overcaps your resists. Shouldn't be too expensive since you won't need much resists on it. If you can get fire res on it you could swap your quiver out for a drillneck which would give you more life and damage. You could also stand to get more life on your belt and boots. Crafted life is not enough. Sacrifice chaos res if you have to. In the current league I think the only major source of chaos damage is the Chimera fight, which you shouldn't have issues with since you're ranged and have enough damage to kill the serpents before they get to you.
Your QOTF is only giving you 8% movespeed so I don't know why you have it. You could easily get a better evasion chest, with more life and resists.
Is your Panicked flask actually working like an instant flask for you when you need it? Consider a bubbling or seething one instead. Get a loving prefix on your second life flask and your quicksilver what is wrong with you. Why do you even have a mana flask?! Replace that with a granite since you have iron skin on your quicksilver for some reason. Also get your life flasks to 20% quality once they have good affixes.
Why are you using quill rain? You could use The Tempest or Windripper for more damage, or even Lioneye's Glare.

I'm guessing that you're going to be picking up more jewel slots in your passive tree as you approach level 90. Get life on those jewels.

Thanks for your help. Managed to up my dps by 50% and my life by 1K. That�s just by changing my bow, quiver and ring.

I�ll sort my flasks out next. Then I�ll do lab. Cheers.

I started playing this on the weekend, and I'm severely overleveled from the mining. Playing as a necromancer, I cleared act 3 at level 40 with my minions chewing up every boss in just a few seconds. Maybe I should try a new character and skip the mine to enjoy a bit of challenge? The mine is.. ok, but nothing in it has really wowed me, except for a Harbinger enemy which it seems I can find elsewhere?

Complete acts 1-10 then go mining.

What I would like is the ability to �sell� three maps in the map tab like you can in the essence tab. I suppose the only wrinkle would be choosing the maps as some can be rare or uncommon.

Even in my consolidated standard stash I can keep all my div cards to 1 normal sized tab, so I never bought it. I also never bought the fragments but I think that one would make my life easier.

Spend that money on getting a 6L +3 bow, and a 6L chinsol, so you can weapon swap between clear and single target. Your current weapon suuucks for EHit.

Speaking of trading, as someone whose pretty casual in this game how do I sell stuff to players good? I have a premium tab but I have no idea what my drops are worth if anything most of the time. I have never owned a single exalt except once when I got some meta gem drop early on in a league.

Keep raising the prices on things until people stop messaging you, then go back a few steps.

Not sure I want a portal right next to where I died, as that�s usually a dangerous spot.

I�m usually running away trying to click Portal, and invariably clicking Scroll of Wisdom, then by that point I�m dead and have to run from the entrance.

I've literally sold maybe three things in the hundreds of hours I've played this game but I think Betrayal is getting me to finally start trading regularly, so any help is appreciated.

If you�ve got the trade macro, do control - alt - D. Then select the elemental damage down the bottom.

That�ll give you a general idea of the worth.

But spending currency on a 3rd party site completely unrelated to the game isn't really working towards a goal in the traditional sense. I mean, you could say clocking in at Burger King for 8 hours and spending your $60 on exalts is also working towards the same goal.

But I mined the ore, so my ship is free.
