I notice that you guys are going hard into the Brute Force solution, and I don't really understand why. I get we scale well with Int, but there are other places on the tree and other gems you can use to get Int?

The key idea is to overlap Brute Force areas of effect, so you're able to pay 1 point and get 20 int in the overlapping areas.

I also see some changes on the Inquisitor side of the tree. Faith and Steel and Divine Judgement notables not worth it?

There are lots of choices this time around at the outside edges of the tree. Play around with POB and make your own tradeoffs between damage and ES.

I'm considering whether going Elementalist makes more sense than Occultist. More damage, immune to elemental reflect, but stunnable, 2 golems and 1 curse versus 1 golem and 2 curses. So you fully spec out the Brine King pantheon.

I also agree with the assessment that IC seems the better defensive stance option?

Well, I switched to Steelskin and it seems to be working fine. Zero deaths.

Ok finally crafted...int+ES, regaled it and got %int xD
So should i stay with it or what?

That's some nice RNG! Well if you are low on funds you can use as is...or you could go for a multimod for extra ES. Or even crazier remove the ES and add 6% inc attributes but that's kind of nuts. Definitely divine to get it up to 12% INT first and then you can have some fun. :)

He could try slamming ES% prefix. That would solve everything. :)

Craft a random suffix then exalt.

Ok, those points made good sense and I will have to test steelskin, thanks for helping me. :)

I am not sure how much the extra golem helps. Apparently the golem passive effect does not stack if you summon two of the same, and I don't really have room in my build for a second golem.

w8 i can multimod it and still get +increased ES and +smth else with increasing ES?

did it 12% in and now i have 2497 int and 10517 ES
hm really don't know, whats better more ES or +6% att...

Cause no problem to open legion in t14-16 but if i open 4-5 rare big mobs in 1 spot they can oneshot me xD (using cyclone, so no freeze mobs-( and mb champion better for cyclone cause of fortify? )

Multimod the chest and craft %increased ES and hybrid % increased ES/life

This whole conversation started with how good your RNG was. :)

That said I would pob it with just the 6% attributes to see the difference that it makes. Multimodding for double prefix is going to give you the most ES. If you slam a prefix now and brick you still have the option to craft the ES% back on (unless you hit bad tier %).

I would slam it because I like to take risks with gear. But it's not the safe option.

Of course if you had an unlimited budget you could meta craft the prefixes hahahaha. (Dont do this)

Also, for those who need it I have the 6% Attributes craft available.

IGN: CantEscape

ok smth like that, not lucky on craft only 65% from 72%
future improve
+1% int on staff( cyclone with 18% :/) +2% on belt, +1% ring...
watchers eye with ES gain by hit+ % of max mana...28 ex-(


PS can anybody describe about legion armies battle? is it profitable to do 2xArmy or only 4-5 armies? in battle is it profit to kill generals or just clear normal mobs and generate new wave? Legion specific gems nothing helpful for us?

Your DEX is higher than your STR, so you've lost the ignite protection available on the Cyclopean coil.

How I wish GGG would optimize the ground effects for Whispering Ice...

It's a total lagfest when Spell Cascade is linked to Whispering Ice due to the ground effect layers.
