82 or 83 depending on if you're wanting to work in Might of the Meek. This and many more questions are outlined in the FAQ. Don't forget to check it out. :)

How is anyone leveling portal gems? That confuses me....

I am down past depth 210 and not finding returns any better than I was getting 100 levels up..... anyone know when the next increase in rarity will likely occur?

you cannot level portal gems - check https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Portal_(gem)

"Unlike most gems, Portal does not gain any experience and therefore cannot level up. It is possible to gain an additional level on a Portal gem by corrupting it with a Vaal Orb , and the gem can also have its level temporarily increased by items or Empower Support . However, increasing the gem level has no effect. "

Really interested in this build.

Is it possible to run CWDT>Shock Nova>Inc. AoE>Life Gain on Hit in the unused boots slot? Mana cost is pretty low, but it will provide +54 life for everything hit within the Nova.

CWDT>Shock Nova>Blind>Knockback is also nice in the Darkness.

Additionally, what are your thoughts on switching Coward's Chain to Coward's Legacy to take advantage of 'while on low life' modifiers like Lori's Lantern, Dreadbeak, or The Oak?

Have you tested bringing a Stone Golem for life regen?

Hello! Im putting this build together and im wondering: which corrupt roll should i look for on the helmet: socketed aura, socketed curse or socketed aoe? Another questions is: shouls i look for any enchant on my helmet?for boots i might go with the speed one right? what about the gloves? thanks

Its a meme.

When you're a streamer people try to tell you what to do with your build. They cannot help themselves when there are empty sockets, even if there is no reason to add more links to the build since it is functional as-is.

So I filled every empty socket with a portal gem. When people ask, I say I'm leveling portals because there's tons of XP in delve. People either think I'm an idiot and stop backseating/leave, or they laugh. Its a win-win in my book.

Re your path: Sometimes routes that are more efficient at a shallower depth can absolutely outperform a mediocre route 100 levels down. That's why its important to try to run a path, then move on until the numbers look solid and the route is good. Might be time to load up on some sulphite on your main and look for greener pastures. Remember the use of tracking apps such as Exilence can really help you figure out if a route is efficient or not.

Golems are going to draw in aggro from mobs, and while you're not completely invisible to mobs, they tend to aggro less due to Phase Run and take more time to get to you due to Temp Chains unless they are directly stacked on the node you are trying to click. I wouldn't want a golem in there making things attack and possibly splash damage on me for a mere 100ish life regen per second. Considering the throughput of your flasks is thousands of life per second, the stone golem's buff is a drop in the bucket. Investing in Life Regen at all is a lost cause as it only effects about 3-4.5k life, Mana flask/recovering scaling is much more powerful since due to Indigon, it effects your entire eHP.

Re CWDT: you should have the strength to incorporate a Steelskin or something if you wish, but remember the LGOH gem is for attacks only, and Shock Nova is a spell. You'd have better luck just adding in a Cyclone Fortify LGOH Spinny Oh-Shit Button if you're really wanting the safety net.

As far as the belt in concerned, you don't even have to use Coward's if you want. There's a ton of options from Feastbind, a triple implicit Vaal MS belt, or just a nice Rare.

I believe +2 Curse or AoE will do the trick. While Blasphemy turns Temp Chains into an Aura, I'm not entirely sure it gives it the Aura Tag.

The best helm enchant would be temp chains effect, which is prohibitively expensive generally speaking, so the +2 is a happy medium.

Runspeed on boots, for sure! Gloves you can do Word of Light or Reflection. Light is regen and Reflection creates a copy of you that can distract mobs.

Its a bad Seed number. You'll want to buy a different one, or throw a few divines at it. Seed number determines which Notables are covered up/changed.

Be weary of an underpriced Militant faith for this reason. This one has probably been bought or sold a dozen times already.
