Re: Envy. Weird. Just strange RNG is all. Envy, Scorn, Misery & Dread are map-only. That's the only restriction, so with three characters, it's not *too* surprising you haven't seen one with all that time spent levelling to maps, but it's still odd.

Re: fragments. Yes, I believe both of those are T14+.

Re: 4-essence. Corruption-only. Corrupt tri-essence monsters for a chance to get quad.

thanks a lot. so its only envy what is strange and the other is normal.

I have some problems with uber lab and need some runs for enchant.
in lab i dont need mf. so i thought about the Essence of Envy (wich i dont found one till now) and craft 2 rings with first max life roll and then the increased chaos dmg with the envy (with the prefix cannot be changed.
So i would have a ring with max life and 30 to 34 with two rings 60 to 68 % increased chaos dmg and 158 life and some other things on the rings.

so i hope it will give a better life pool AND a big increase of the cloud dmg. Or is this mod not influencing the cloud dmg. I hope it works like increased chaos dmg on jewels. or is this wrong ?

You are correct, running with MF in lab is not needed. Haveing a few pieces of gear ready for a swap is a good idea. It makes sense to evaluate your Rings, Boots, and Amulet for the switch.

Essences do not work that way. It was determined to be too powerful to mix the Metamod crafting options and Essences together. "Our solution is that Essences will ignore master metamods when rolling an item." Development Post. Using the Envy Essence is still a good idea, you just need to also hit a life mod, or an open Prefix to craft life.

And just to directly answer the question, yes the %Chaos damage from the Essence works just like the %Chaos damage from jewels.

Hm

Ziggy did it this way. he showed a item craft with prefixes cannot be changed and the essence did not change the life roll?!

I will try it and write then

one question i forgot. can i get 4 essence monster only per corruption or is there a possibility they have in a map 4 essences?

As others have replied, the only way to get this is to successfully corrupt three essences into four.

You'll probably get this done simply by running a lot of maps.

But I brute-forced this in under an hour by running Merciless Lunaris level 1 (enter via the front door, not the door leading to 2nd level) and making my way into the 2nd room. Usually there's one or two sets of Essence monsters in that room. If not, leave and reset; just repeatedly reset until you find a set that contains three essences and corrupt.

You should actually be able to do this much faster than I did because I was killing all the mobs anytime I found essences to build up an essence stash. If you just skip killing anything that doesn't contain 3 essences this shouldn't take more than 30 minutes or so max I'd say.

It takes a while to get a feel for what's high value and what's not.

Triple resistance (or double resistance with a free suffix) armor with either high life or high ES is worth evaluating especially if it also has high armor or high evasion.

For weapons I look for T2/T1 physical damage 155% increased physical damage or higher, with 30+ global crit multi, or 30%+ crit chance. If it's 300+ dps or better it's worth looking at.

For uniques, many are worth at most 1c and might not be worth your while trying to sell. A good loot filter will differentiate between common uniques that aren't worth much and higher value uniques (Neversink's does this).

To determine what your item is worth, compare the item you're looking at with similar items using poe.trade.

Another way to increase DPS (depending on how much you want to invest) is with the hidden potential jewel. You can get by with quite a few blues boosting DPS nicely.

A leveled decoy totem might also be of benefit to distract Izaro - trading off some DPS you'd get using wither for a bit more safety when he attacks the decoy instead of you. Along these same lines, mirror arrow can be used.

And if you want to make a bigger investment, Lightning Coil or Kaom's Heart can be used - but that's a pretty big outlay if you're only doing this to kill Izaro.

Haaaaaaaaaaaank.

Got any decent non-meta melee builds you've scoped out recently? Say, T13 capable?

Not at the moment.

I'm working on Ancestral Warchief toon number 3 this league, LOL. I'm going triple-totem, Berserker for maximum DPS. I'm trying to figure out which Warchief toon to use for Guardian/Shaper kills - my triple-totem Chieftan can kill all the guardians albeit with a bit of a struggle. I'm hoping to find something that will make Shaper key farming a bit easier.

For Shaper, I hear that high DPS really helps - hence the Berserker toon.

Mathil always trys out a lot of toons each league, most of them non-meta. He prefers ranged but once in awhile he rolls melee. You might want to see if he has any toons that catch your fancy.
