To actually be able to facetank at least some of the higher-level content - how much currency will i need to spend - lets say to run T15 maps and not worry too much about dying?

I'm just a beginner so that's why I'm asking - if it does require a lot of currency I'll pass and try out some cheaper build.


I would say it is possible to go on those maps with 2-3 ex min.
I don't know the exact prices ATM, but I think 2 pens are at 15-20 c each, inpulsa should be 1 ex and to get viable gear in the other slots 1-1.5 ex should be okay at first.
It is important to get uberlab for this to work properly.


1 Pen is at 85+c atm...

Can you give me numbers on how high you get your evasion?
I might try it.
I tried to go around the mass evasion stacking, because I wasn't sure how high I could get it, and this is why I went for the endurance charges and immortal call, and after the call I only needed the blind.

Also from what I know chimera can't be dodged in smoke phase, so I took those deaths. They are not that often, but if I'm unlucky.
And so I hoped I had enough against physical damage, to survive normal damage that occurred.



Too busy right now so I can't give you numbers since I'm not playing. Maybe this weekend I'll have some time to play. But I know thou that Chimera 2 shots me in smoke phase on another dual wield lvl 94 Arc Elementalist build that doesn't go for Acrobatics but block with Rumi/Armor/Warlords Mark/Endurance charges/6k hp and 4-6%hp regeneration. Only solution was to move very, very fast and force Chimera out of smoke phase. Pretty much comes down to luck.

I have one more question there, how good can you stand against elemental damage?
I have some problems against hydra. That is why I use loreweave. Or are you using a wise oak with another +max resistance flask that is needed?


Well, again, I haven't got that far with this Elementalist build but I'm pretty sure Oak and resistance flask is a must in fight against Hydra. That being said the key to fight is to learn mechanics and try to not get hit. I don't believe that you can face tank Hydra or take too many shots with this build regardless of what chest you have equipped.

Wow, that was really unexpected.
Then I think it's better to have 3+ ex.
I'm still confused about the use of barrage and frenzy, so what's the different in use of both skill?

Frenzy 1 projectile Barrage 4.
frenzy for clearing packs and get frenzy charges, barrage for bosses, or at least I use them like that...

I see,thanks a lot dude
Anyone with experience killing Uber Elder?

I've never done the fight before,maybe I just need to git gud, but it seems really hard to me with this build.
Kaom's Roots?

Grateful for any advice.

I can get 40% Evasion with Inpulsa vs 45% with QotF and if flask 55% vs 60%. Not that big of a difference except I get movement speed boost while flasks are on as well with QotF. That being said Acrobatics makes this build super squishy when playing end content. Even with high evasion its very easy to get 1shot by Bosses but clearing maps is super fast.

Not sure if my build is on track or not... lvl 76. I'm dying pretty often but mostly because I'm running T10 maps. Pack clearing is super easy but struggling with single target. In PoB I have less than half the damage than the OP's build has.

Current gear:


I need to fill out my gem slots, get better abyss stuff and level up + quality my gems... will that double my damage? Am I missing something else?
