Natures boon by itself is only ok.
10% flask charges gained is very nice.
20% chance to not consume is too unreliable to really make use of. even if its pretty frequent.
flsk charges gained is nice in mapping, running around, etc. little value in direct boss fights. again, much better with ample flsk charges gained.
8% elem DR is not great from my understanding of mechanics.
example:
10000 damage cold hit, into 75% resist. 2500 gets through, into 8% dr. 2300 damage taken, 8% dr prevents 200.
Better then nothing sure. But hard to argue for by itself. its master alchemist that makes it worth it. Immune to status effects. And the 20% elem for some builds.

The Elem DR is better, the less resists you have, and worse the more you do.

85% cold resist due to +1% node, and pathfinder sapphire. 1500damage-8%dr=1380damage 120 reduced.
Conversely, -13%max resist map. (62%resist)
10000x.38= 3800 taken. x.92= 3496 taken, 304 reduced.

Any amount of DR could be life and death of course.


Thanks for your detailed answer but I was thinking of going raider or deadeye ;D
Need some help on that choice, wheather to stay Pathfinder or take another ascendancy with my gear and flasks. :)
Any ideas what I need to pick up and prioritize next, as I am approaching best in slot items?

Here is my gear:



I currently run TS-GMP-PTL-PPAD-WED in my bow, and ID-IC-TC-CWDT in my chest. Other than this I manually cast Blood Rage, Hatred, Arctic Armour, and Ice Golem.

Here is my passive tree:

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAICAABeBS0FtQYjCC4IiQqbDY0RLxPaFUMWvxmOIXYj9iT9JpUuUzBxMHwx-jKUNj031DnUOkI-z0MxR35KfUt4TP9Nkk4qUUdTu1T-VUtVhVoaW69daGHiYqxlTWyMbWxwUnTtdct1_Xb3eOt673sUfXV_An8rhG-Gzod2idOMNo19jX6Nv5S4lQWa8ZuNnaqgn6Gkpcum4KfUsQG1SLvjvTa95r6nv9XBM8FJwzPEosjcyqnNmM9e02_TftQj1ELZxtrB3ajh2-Of5wrnVOd06Nbpvepi62PtP-2D73rwu_lj_MX-uv7I_94=

I have two gems that give me attack speed with a bow, max life, and some resistances. I am at 84 fire (9 over max), 90 cold (15 over max), and 109 lightning (34 over max).

When I swap out my helm, that 31 Int I lose will make a lot of my other gear and gems unusable, so I might be forced to take a 30 Int node in the passive tree. My left ring is also over 80 LR, and will be very hard to upgrade from. My belt is probably best before Headhunter, which means never ;0. My bow is pretty good, but I can do better. I'm not quite sure on the other slots.

I'm having a hard time gaining XP at 90+, as I get maybe 3% per map, and these are hard maps. I'm not sure the best mods to shoot for, and I have a hard time grouping as my FPS tanks, which means I'm mainly doing things solo. I have 2 exalted, 80 chaos, and 50-100 each of things like Vaal, Chisels, Chance, etc.

Thanks
What single target setup you guys use? I'm TS and have a 4 or 5-link left. I was thinking puncture trap but not sure what to link with it.

I dont know where u guys got life leech to play safly with this build.

This life leech isn't enough even to regen hp from Blood rage, so i need to take care about with my flasks.

Where I could pick more life leech with LA/IA? As i noticed, items only got life leech from physical damage... So i got 0 regen from these skills. With Tornado shot its working perfectly, i got so high regen with it.

@UP. Im running like now Rain blast. Its dealing nice dmg + easy landing ignite.

Two ways to overheal BR damage-Stone Golem,Immortal Flesh belt.
To get leech you can get nods ahead of Vitality void
Smth very wrong u do here guys...
I have NO degen at all from blood rage... From HP regen from nods
I do a bit of defencive build though


Try switching to kaom's heart for ur armour.. With additional 500 hp and life hp regen, there will be no degen... But if going kaom's it Must be Pathfinder, to keep evasion by 60-75% on surgeon's Jade flask...

I picked this game up a few weeks ago and am following this guide. I'm at a stage where I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way for crafting a decent harbinger.

Newb question: The method outlined in the guide is to reroll magic versions for physical damage mods and then regal it to a rare. But, Would essences of contempt be more efficient? Guaranteed flat physical rolls so you only have to gamble on a good % physical mod.

I'm not sure how up to date some of the guide info is as lot of the info seems to predate essence league...

Spoiler
My name in-g : Qpaad

Pm me if i win trade, if afk retry again.


I've got this weird crafted bow for only 30c. There is still room for 1 more crafted mod. Which one of these would be better? I'm Phys TS and I linked my TS setup too. I'm running HoI and Hatred for now.

8-22% WED
Adds 15-19 to 29-34 Fire damage
Adds 12-16 to 23-28 Cold damage
Adds 1-4 to 50-52 Lightning damage

I feel like you got robbed on that bow.
