Fire DoT is bugged?

That's sadly how little it takes to improve your character because it's so fascinatingly weak.

I see that this forum is about minimizing others, right? As I said earlier, my opinion is all that counts, because I'm the one playing it. It's most certainly not the best, but it's above average at all chapters. Don't know and don't want to know in what blissful world you live in. Maybe you're getting perks behind the scenes that increase your survival and overall power? Idk. Maybe it's like everything nowadays, every c**ppy song becomes a hit somehow. That's how I view your cases. Now, I get it, my character is the weakest ever. Are we done with the insults and can focus on why fire damage is a gazillion times more potent than other damage types and why it appears to not get blocked as often? From what I can tell, you say that it doesn't happen. Great, maybe there's someone else who does.

Secondly, their minion build has;
4,843 Life (Your melee build has 4,004)
1,234 Energy Shield (Your melee build has 145)
80% Fire Resistance (Your melee build has 76%)
84% Cold Resistance (Your melee build has 75%)
80% Lightning Resistance (Your melee build has 75%)

Yes, but my claim still stands. You have absolutely zero value for your character and just pray that your enemies don't reach you. And it means nothing for aoe attacks/spells, you're still reached by those. My golem has 12k life and he dies in 1 second against most rare monsters. Maybe you've played t1 maps all this time, perhaps even used some AI tool to constantly run them and grow your level, so you won't waste the time. But your minions look like good as dead against most rare enemies that you encounter, not to mention bosses. [Removed by Support]. Now, are we done with minimizing each other? Because this was not the purpose of this post. I could start reporting people instantly when I see such attacks, you know?

I've taken a look at your build and THAT is the most pathetic thing I've seen. You have no evasion, low block, low life and no damage. That is qualified as poor skill in building a character, if you ask me.

No you could not report people (and expect anything to happen) based on posting about issues with your build and others attempting to highlight possible avenues for improvement. That you could actually post the litany of disparaging comments above and threaten to report others is comical.

Yes, I defend myself against claims that aim to minimize myself, for no reason. This post was not a call for that, nor is any other. I tried to reason with you, but in the end I respect your bliss, as you should mine. Is it ok now?

You always have others to back you up, because alone you're less than nothing. Now, are we done with minimizing each other? Because this was not the purpose of this post.

Thats funny :)


I have 80% spell and attack block.
I do instantly recover ES on block and I do gain life on hit, while using an attack thats spitting out tons projectiles which will not only return but also pierce all enemies. This alone results in thousands of instantly gained life per second.

I have full aiment immunity too, not that I need it but might as well.

I do clear T17s and uber bosses deathless but somehow this is pathetic while you cant kill the pirate boss that cant even dent my defenses in the slightest and dies within seconds anyways - if it wasnt for his "Be washed away" phases that is.


But please carry on. This is entertaining

Ok, I might have omitted the full investigation of your build, which I don't have time for right now. So, assuming you're right, basically your build is inferior to mine at (practical) blocking, your ES recharge on block means nothing if you don't block (like I described against fire bolts) and most aoe attacks/spells will reach you anyway, no matter how many minions (with very small life pools) you have around. And your damage is debatable, seeing (at a quick glance) that you don't invest in the tree for it. Congrats, you're an inferior version of a Gladiator when it comes to survival and maybe even damage and effects (like bleed and stun).

This debate has turned into spellcaster vs melee fighter, and I'd be a fool to not acknowledge that it's usually better to fight from a distance and with minions around you, especially if you get some defences for yourself (which any newbie could). We're now fighting to prove if oranges are better than apples. If you want to be relevant at all in any discussion, try to compare oranges with oranges. [Removed by Support]. But I suppose you solved the latter with Iron Will or something.

Hey, I feel I should let you guys know that OP is a "PoE veteran" for 11 years, but has never cleared regular (lvl 70) Atziri, or filled out their Atlas, or six-linked an item, or had 90% max res, or killed Argus (lol?), and never ever obtained a single Voidstone.

Don't get baited by troll responses. The biggest irony of it all is that OP is throwing around statements about how people's builds suck and how they lack defenses, but they themselves have never actually managed to do pretty much anything remotely endgame related in 11 years of PoE.

Edit

Case in point:

Super easy boss with at least ~2M DPS. If you can't even manage that, well... best to look for a build guide, then.

Draw me an elaborate and complete sketch (like passive skills, gear, gems etc.) on how you can achieve that melee damage and I'll believe it. Not otherwise, thanks.
