Ive been reluctant to try this game for the longest time the broadness of the game is so intimidating from ive watch and read.

and when i finally did try it a week ago thanks to your guide it made it really smooth for me while i learn more about the game you are an awesome person for taking care and spending time to make this to help your community and attract more people to play!

currently finished my act 10 and enjoying my arc witch and im gearing up now trying to follow as much as i understand yet on your item guide!


i have all the gems now sloted and linked! base from the guide

now I recently purchased doryani sorc boots that has lvl 25 purity of lightning

with these clarity lvl 1, zealotry lvl 18, herald of ice lvl 16
i dont have d mana to use purity of lightning currently lvl 76 took the mana path passives base on ur guide.
but i still cant use the purity of lightning am i missing something ?

That's okay, you're not supposed to use purity of lightning in this build.

Above is my current setup. I just started this game for the first time since last week and just picked a build that looks fun. Currently doing some maps but I die so fast.

Do you guys have any tips on some quick wins to improve my dps and survivability? I don't have much currency so currently on a very low budget!

Almost nothing you're wearing has even a modicum of life on it. Assuming your resistances are all capped at 75%, getting more life on your gear is your first objective! Try to make sure you have a minimum of +50 on everything rare that isn't your weapon.

Next, get a 5L chest so you can get your golem setup running.

Then get a 5L or 6L staff with at least 3 relevant damage modifiers (see gear section of the guide for a list of affixes).

Also, get your flasks to 20% quality and craft them to have the affixes Enki lists out.

You should be able to do all of that very cheaply. You can substantially upgrade almost everything you're wearing via pathofexile.com/trade for 1-3 chaos apiece. If you don't know how the chaos orb vendor recipe works, Google it--you can easily farm the currency in a few hours in any location act 9 and onwards.

I am assuming you're not playing SSF. If you are, we should find you advice from someone more qualified than I.

Hi,
Really enjoying this build but struggling to do single target DPS. Also looking to upgrade gear but not sure what to upgrade, can someone help?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply @WorderMostFoul much appreciated. Made a short check list based on your feedback:
- get +max health on every rare item
- get 5L chest for golem
- get 6L staff with 3 relevant damage modifiers
- get flasks to 20% with correct affixes
- farm currency in case of lacking resources

Thanks again!

Hi there, I decided i'm going to go all out on this build, since I like the skill very much. I managed to craft this.

Would it be smart to use the Crusader's Exalted Orb to slam the last Prefix and hope to get lucky? Dunno what to do from this point onwards.
Thanks

How did you manage to craft such insane staff? When I search for staffes like that on pathofexile.com/trade they are almost non-existent and the few there are, are very expensive.

So people are now saying I just need to reroll off this build. It's a "glass cannon without the cannon", and that this build is incapable of doing anything above T10.

Where can I change up some things to improve my damage/survivability? Does Soul Tether need to go? Three Dragons?

At that point, wouldn't it just be a different build?

Short answer is play whatever you find fun. I have no problem doing Conquerors, Metamorphs or t16 maps with this build with gear around 4-5ex, so the build is more than capable. I only struggle with Sirus cause I suck at the fight. If you find yourself dying in medium/low tier maps you probably have to look at your gameplay, and might find the same problem with a different build.

Again, play whatever you find fun. That is literally the only thing that matters.

So, quick question.

I made a ring that grants me:
• Assassin's mark on hit
• Level 22 Herald of Ice

So, should I use the level 22 HoI granted by the ring, or should I just keep using the one from the gem?

Does Increased Critical Strike influence HoI?

@Lenestol I am kinda curious to see your char and gear with a total cost of 4-5ex. Can you make you characters public or post your gear here? I am progressing in the red maps now, but I find upgrades very expensive. A 6-linked body armor from the "medium budget" is 4-5ex by itself.

I have have some questions.
Its My First League so maybe some questions are stupid....

1. i followed the Guide and now i have 5 Arc gem at lvl 20. Should i corrupt them with vaal orb or try the Thing in the Temple?
2. I have the Queens Hunger atm without Desecrate. What is the Desecrate gem for?
3. Agnerod West (3-4ex) is much more expensive then the east or north(50c). Is IT Worth the difference?

Thank you

Sorry for my inactivity here, I've been on vacation and now working on a new build since i'm back, so I barely have time for the thread currently. Thanks to everyone for answering questions and keeping the thread alive! I'm planning to improve some parts about the guide once I got more time for it, currently can't say yet when that'll be tho, so just keep an eye on the changelog.
