EA 3.9 Ignite -- Cap Your Damage
" You can use what the calculator says is better for you, but I did the math for my setup some time ago and it was slightly less. Keep in mind when you do the calc you must extend the barrage attack time delay. Undisputed best alpha tester since Awakening beta.

Looking for advice.
Put around 10ex into the build. I could not afford the chaos res gear, nor did I invest in the Focus buffs, but I did everything else. Working my way through lower tier red maps currently. -Boss DPS is insane, and every boss I face gets deleted. I don't feel the need to get the Focus buffs at all right now. Maybe that will change in t16... -Survivability is so far still good too - I have to play fast and smart, but I die once in ever 10 maps or so, which is great in my book. Sticking with Acrobatics + Phase Acro is probably helping me here, plus evasion flask. I take hits often, but nothing that one shots me. We will see what happens in T16s... -My clear is pretty good. Most packs just pop, but yellow mobs can be pretty annoying, having to circle back and stick them with a few more charges. Having to weapon swap is pretty annoying, but perhaps that is the solution? I am looking for advice around upping my clear a bit. I don't need to get to crazy clear DPS, but a bit more to help clean up yellow mobs would be fantastic. Is it a playstyle thing? Or better gear in certain slots? And then, what are next steps for upping survivability? Better gear with more life? If so, which slots look weakest? Getting more chaos res? swapping flasks around? Some used mechanic that I am missing? Thanks in advance. I love this build - it saved me from abandoning EA this league!! https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/johngmartin/characters/stwofar Last edited by johngmartin#6248 on Jan 30, 2020, 3:52:41 PM

" Gear is looking really good. The build is never the fastest at killing rares unless weapon swapping or eventually intuitively knowing how many fuses a rare is going to need to die. Looks like you made good decisions if 10ex got you that far with gear. Undisputed best alpha tester since Awakening beta.

" Divine flesh with 86% chaos res really trivializes the game, i was thinking of using 6L belly instead of kaom for blight-legion maps wonder how'd it go ? I think it's worth losing 1k hp. Those generals and big rares are unkillable with clearing setup and when we swap we don't have enough fuses to kill other packs. |

" I do still get weirdish oneshots even with 7.8k hp and Divine Flesh 86% res. Dunno if theres still something missing from my char, trying to keep flasks up all the time and molten shell as soon as its cooldown is over. On paper this might be the sturdiest char I ever had, but in the game for some reason it doesnt feel like it. Maybe becouse I dont have any dodge/block/evade except the sand stance blind? Dont know what to upgrade next. A ring or amulet with fire damage leeched as life would be a dream, but nearly impossible to match the resists I got now. Sirus A8 was really smooth with current gear, but some bosses like Lava Lake boss are pretty painful. Last edited by muunisti#2321 on Jan 31, 2020, 1:41:00 AM

" You can try some of this hints, that worked on me 1. Remove Flesh&Stone and replace it with Aspect of the cat (get free slot for portal)
Spoiler
2. Use more defensive setup of flasks
Spoiler
3. Get some smooth mod on helmet, that will convert physical damage into elemental (50% of wich will procced to chaos)

" Thanks for the tips, Ill try that Jade Flask instead of Quicksilver. I did try a Quartz Flask also but that didnt seem to help so much. For a noob like me, it would be really nice to have a log or something that would tell me what kind of damage (elemental/phys) killed me :) Last edited by muunisti#2321 on Jan 31, 2020, 3:50:35 AM
