Marauder - 3.10|Stress-Free PoE| ENDURING FIRE (RF) |Use Any Items U Want|1 Button Play|Easily Customizable SSF - Forum

So I took out incinerate and put in a cyclone with fortify, and the build feels much more like I had imagined. Damage on bosses still leaves something to be desired, but really enjoying the feeling of being a moving tank of destruction. Granted I'm still on white maps, so I might be sorely mistaken about how viable it is. I'm positive the gear isn't optimized, but being SSF, am not really sure how I should be going about getting stronger. I should be switching to conc effect on bosses, but that feels clunky to me. I suppose taking a look at the swift affliction + arcane surge combo is my next target.	Posted by Atjh#5513 on Mar 27, 2020, 11:50:22 AM Quote this Post

The build is still very tanky we just have to get as much life regen as we can find along with as many endurance charges and as much life as we can cause MORE is better after all right? ;). I'm using two Kaom's Way rings but still working on crafting a great Marble amulet but rng is not working to my favor. I ran a couple of t16 maps today with no problems at all staying alive just my dmg is low as I'm still leveling a few gems and yet to pick up those great dmg nodes on the passive tree. At the boss on any high tier map I swap out Flammability for Enfeeble just to be on the safe side till I get more life. Far as running Sirus he is not acting right, I know they changed some of his skills around and changed a few other things but man they just got some bad things going on in that fight. In 3.9 he was an easy fight by easy I mean knowing his moves but now he is like on a mission to get you. He has more life that is ok but when you have 9k life and he gets you down to 300 life often that tells me to stay on my toes. And the one shots come often form him. I have only run him a few time since 3.10 patch so it could be me just not seeing everything going on. I will check back in and let you know if I can beat him on this build but it will be a few weeks till I say I'm ready unless rng grants me some great drops or my crafting gets better. I hear you Quicksilver112! It's a little weird. It's ok to die lots to the hardest boss in the game but players have to know what's going on and what they need to do to succeed, or even what they should have done with their build to be successful. Now it's neither. RNG should only be on loot, not success. There are many people that have mentioned the fight makes no sense. I'm one. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 27, 2020, 4:47:17 PM Quote this Post
" ineffablebob wrote: Oh, and one more build suggestion - for your Molten Shell gem, I recommend getting the Vaal version. You can hit it before tough fights for a bunch more armor and damage! I use it a lot in Delirium encounters. I also have a Vaal Impurity of Fire gem, though I'm not sure it does nearly as much for us. The fact that the fire resistance is ignored only "for hits" makes it not terribly impressive. For sure ineffablebob! Good call! It's a HUGE help in battles if it drops for people. And I agree, only against Hits is "meh" to me. It's not like you can hit it often.

" KatNDusty wrote: Could this build possibly be played by a Scion? Hey KatNDusty! Any class can do RF. But you have to plan each build around the chosen ascendancy. I made this build heavily revolve around the Chieftain ascendancy. So this specific build will not work very well with the Scion, sorry. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 27, 2020, 4:51:07 PM Quote this Post
" ineffablebob wrote: Anyone have recommendations for fighting the Conquerors of the Atlas? I just died multiple times against Baran and he was only the 2-watchstone version. It's pretty much impossible to stand next to him, between those mana runes that drain you and his big attacks that are knocking huge chunks out of my 6k life pool. Eventually I took him down but it was a lot of kiting and dashing in when he happened to move away from the runes. I'm sure the other bosses have their own similar difficulties. Hey ineffablebob! With Baran, close combat builds have to lure him out. So it does require some running around until he decides to stand on some spaces that aren't on degen. Keep in mind that Incinerate is secondary. You don't have to use it. OR you could hold it just for a sec and then move. The Baran fight simply requires lots of moving. Survivability hasn't really been an issue for me though. That fight has no extra enemies that hit you, so you have to keep your charges up yourself. Does that help? https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 27, 2020, 4:55:12 PM Quote this Post
" FlameRage wrote: For those who did not know. The swift affliction/arcane surge combo on RF does more dps than the one on with inspiration and efficacy. I just checked the PoB calculations and if i would change the gems from my helmet to chest and had it 6-linked like in this build. I would loose around 100k dps from the 1.39million dps the Vaal RF does now. Oh and these "crappy elder helms" are not so expensive i bought this one for 30chaos without the enchant. That's a nice helmet FlameRage! It's a good buy for 30C. If you take the Pastebin that I provide in the guide and replace Inspiration and Efficacy with Swift Affliction and Arcane Surge, the Inspiration and Efficacy combo does much more damage. So the difference might be in the gear you have or in some of the configuration options? Good suggestion on the market place though for those that aren't SSF.

So be sure your gems are the way the should be on both Cyclone and RF. The reason I went from Cyclone to Incinerate was damage. So as long as you're ok with longer boss battles, you've made some great changes! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 27, 2020, 5:05:43 PM Quote this Post

" Dude im stuck at lvl 39 can't go further its hard as fuck going all nodes south, no damage. I dont understand, just capped fire resistance but RF burn all my life, even with those balls Can't see your character, but judging from the level, your purity of fire needs to be a bit higher give you a bit more max capped fire resist and you need even more endurance charges (balls) for the resist and health regen. I didn't start sustaining RF till mid-late 40's. Also get a dousing flask (put mine on a quartz as my bail out).	Posted by Atjh#5513 on Mar 27, 2020, 11:02:25 PM Quote this Post
