I don't understand where do our strenght come from? I have 64 strenght and the shield requires more than 150.

The best thing to do for that is search in trade for things with high Life.. like 80-100 life, and you'll get items with 67 life and 45 strength..

Hey guys, I just added a different take on the build in the main guide, you can check it out. We're using tri-curse Bane as a clear skill and cwc-blight-soulrend for singletarget. Went CI as it fits perfectly. I've put my other guide on hold for now and will be working on this in the next couple of days.

Hi seems like i dont understand smth, but what is main guide?) where is it? In this guide i didnt saw any cwc-blight-soulrend setups, or may be im blind?)))

What do you guys think about this one here:

I got a question how would you start to even craft a wep like in the PoB? Do you use essence then anul and hope you keep the essence thing for multi or am i missing something? :)

First try

I've never used EB and MoM together before.

I'm having a hard time finding out how to use Eldritch Battery with Mind over Matter. When I read it, it makes sense, you spend energy shield instead of mana, And ES protects your mana. Then mom takes 30% of damage from Mana which is protected by my ES. But I've been testing it and testing it, I even recorded two videos, that show when I walk up to a single mob and get hit, my ES and Mana are staying full and the damage is coming straight off my life. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Also getting into red maps the boss damage feels pretty bad unless somehow the Spell totem stays up and doing dmg the whole time, which feels like that never happens and the boss usually one-shots the totem as soon as i put it down. I feel like my Gear is pretty decent, But I could use some help as to what I'm missing out on.

When you get hit, Ghost Reaver replenishes basically your whole es pool, that's why you see no change.

sup folks. I bough QotF for some life, eva and lil bit of speed. I put in empower 3 for now but it didnt help that much :D I tried PoB to see where i can ramp up my damage as it seems ok but for architects or yellow mobs souldrend does not clear so fast (i usually go sr all the way, if i see rare mob i put bane on it and one soulrend which usually clears it unless its alva's temple/incursion).

I tried to see if getting rare wand would help with dmg but it didnt really do that much. is pob calculating it proprely? my "vanila" SR in pob shows 108k dot and there was a guy saying hes got over 300k dot dps but when i got his pob it was like 75k only. 8ex wand gives me like 35k dot dmg.

How much should i even get to try harder content? so far it seems good enough for t10 (although I must say slower then what I am used to even on melee).

Also need to get 2 jewels but didnt really had time to do it just yet. should i change my gem-links or something? I do not have to swap GMP out yet for content which is good and would also help for sure.

thanks

Hey I had the same issue using the suggested shields. I ended up taking a few +30 strength nodes in the tree, hopefully replacing them with a belt that has +str implicit, also you can get a ton from an amulet+rings and slowly get the points out of the tree.

You just need the Astramentis amulet or a rare amulet with +100 or so strength. E.g https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Synthesis/Yv5qksY

I don't recommend using shield if you are not hardcore though. Go pure damage, dual wands. Then you can avoid the pesky strength requirements for heavy shields and aim for more life/dps/resist rare amulets...
