[3.3] BloodFlurry (18+ mill dps), Instant Leech, Inc. Hardcore Version (Elder/Shaper/Guardians/Uber)

Kaom's roots seems kind of counter intuitive, no? No armour nodes, some evasion and then unwavering stance. They are only viable in combination with iron reflexes in my world. Ideas?

Hey guys, I'm fresh at this game and this is my second char. I'm enjoying it much more than the first, but I still feel I'm a bit too squishy. What can I do to improve on? Thanks!

Don't use Abysus for mapping, you can also replace ruthless with Fortify if you want to be more tanky.

Thanks for your input, but if I swap out Abysus, won't I lose too much damage? I'm still a little unsure on how my damage works, sometimes I absolutely destroy people and sometimes it takes me a good 4-5 seconds to kill a white mob.

Most comes from the Ruthless mechanic , that every third attack does 113% more damage, which means you do more than double your damage on your thrid attack, now that Blade Flurry is a Channeling skill , you do 113% more dmg on every third channel, so if you count (i guess) and double tap blade flurry and then hold on third time , youll deal double dmg on all bosses and mobs. But thats basicly what it is

Kaom's are for the 200 life you can get on them and the stun immunity.
With around 6k life and Abyssus on you can expect to get stunned alot from most bosses. And stuns kill you .

CarNiVooRa is correct. On top of being stun immune, you are also freeze immune and things like temporal chains have no affect on your movement/attack speed.

that's a lie, TC will still affect you, just not below base speed, and what freeze immunity were you talking about?

Clearly you have not done your research. As seen here: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kaom%27s_Roots & https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Unstoppable
The specific mechanic of how the line: 'You cannot be slowed to below base speed' is outlined. Base speed refers to your current animation speed (attack speed, cast speed, etc).

Said wiki post gets it data from a GGG post: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1483085/page/3

Hence Kaom's Roots makes you immune to the effects of Freezes, Slows, Temporal Chains.

oh, guess I am too old school, thanks for info, those roots are pretty OP then lol, thats why everybody uses them...

You can get STR/INT/DEX (if needed) on jewels as well.
