Okay some questions.

1) Are the reccomended flasks really just the tri resist ones with the life and phys res? What about when after a bit hit you are almost out of mana? How do you recover it?

2) What should I look for in the Abyss jewels? HP+Taunt+Hinder and what else?

3) I bought my +1 curse anvil some minutes ago and for the life of me I cannot decide which 2 curses I am going to use.

Offensively Despair and Flammability are solid options
Deffensively Temporal Chains and Enfeeble are solid options.

3 of those are blue and TC is green so I cannot do TC for trash mobs and swap to another one. Suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity why despair over ele weakness?
Despair would only ever actually have an effect on bosses, and a minor one at that (its take increased damage afterall, so simply a + to monster damage) compared to a MORE modifier from elemental curses :o

28: If you didn't goof around, you should hit Death Attunement and the extra spectre right about the time you hit 28. Get Flame Sentinels in The Solaris Temple. Slot it in a BBGR 4 link. Specter + LMP/GMP + Minion Damage.

Why do we slot it BBGR when we only use 3 slots? What is coming for the red one ?

Hey,

for Solar Guards: I think that anger (+geno) is a very big dmg boost. Beside Essence Worm ring, should I run a aura with MoM or respecc MoM?

thx

Hello, I have been playing PoE for a number of years but during each league I get into the same rut. I follow a plan to just run shaped maps, get to around level 90, get bored and start a new character. I have never tried to kill any of the end-game bosses. My goal this league is to kill at least one (not sure who) and experience some of the end-game content. This time my mapping strategy has been just to run all the maps and not worry about concentrating on just a few shaped ones. I am currently at level 86 and working my way through the tier 11 maps with absolutely on issues.

For Spectres I have been running 2 x SG's from a 5-link chest and 2 x TV's from a sudo 6 link helmet. This combination has been working well for me and I am having no problems with the low level Red Maps or their bosses.

My first question is should I be using the Advancing Fortress or switch to the Scourge Claw? The claw would give me more damage, but I would lose some block, life and need to put Stone Golem somewhere else so I can add back in my fortify (currently running Stone Golem, Whirling Blades and Faster Attacks).

My second question has to do with Zombies and my AG. They share the same four link (AG, Zombies, Minion Life Support and level 3 empower). If I switch over to the claw I would probably replace the Zombies with my Stone Golem. But if I stick with my Advancing Fortress, is there something that I can use instead of Zombies that will help my AG? Or should I just stick with the Zombies (the only reason I want to get rid of them is that there is just to much stuff happening on my screen)?

My last question is what should I be looking at changing to get myself ready for some of the end-game content? Plus can someone give me hint on which end-game boss I should be concentrating on first?

So I finally found my first lev 16 map, the phoenix boss. And, I got absolutely destroyed.

He seemed to cast some explosion spell that I was not able to get away from. Got him about to halfway before I ran out of portals.

I was under the impression that my TVs were going to melt all bosses. And since others have done so, apparently I am doing something wrong.

Any advice? Hopefully I manage to find another map before the end of the league. Don't really feel like buying them since I only have 21c to my name.

I also lost my animated guy.... sigh..

Here is my gear
