decent for what? I went to T16's and A8 conqurers on a tabula and a level 20 corrupted gem I bought for 1c and my wand had 50 spell damage deafening essence of anger and socketed spells cast on skill use. SO literally pocket change. Granted the conqurers take a while, map bosses are 10-30 seconds though.

Sirus still kicks my ass but I havn't been able to get a corrupted blood jewel yet so... theres that.

AAAAALSO, just got my bigboy wand

That's a good wand! I guess it has 1 open prefix? If that's the case then you can try Harvest augment fire, it can hit:
- +1 Fire Spell Gem: jackpot!
- Fire as extra chaos: not bad, and if needed you can remove chaos and augment fire again
- Fire DOT multiplier: can't fix unfortunately
- Adds Fire Damage: good for spellslinger, definitely worth keeping if it rolls well. If it doesn't roll well then you can remove attack and augment fire again.

so, you mentioned the +1 fire spell....i got it but in a roundabout way :) bought the shield below, and sold my other shield to recoup the currency



and picked up an undertaker necklace

Hi,

I see multiple opinions on Hypothermia vs Elemental Focus Support and as a newbie I can't decide what to choose.

So if someone could advise, I would be grateful.

Comparison can be between Hypothermia vs Awakened EFS or Hypothervia vs regular EFS.

Currently running with Sovereignty.

Thank you for the build, insane clear speed, I can easily clear all content with it.

Btw can someone help me with some advice for ỉmprove boss fight, my build is very slow at it.Ty

craft a reduced cooldown belt, craft an int shield with +1 to fire spells and %fire as chaos for more damage, craft+1 to fire spells on a warlord amulent. All cheap and easy options to look at.

Is command in darkness + spellslinger bug not working anymore? I don't see my resist improving in-game?

Does commander in darkness say you get resists when you turn on an aura or does it say you and nearby allies have X increased resist and damage?

I had thought % life regen and flat life regen don't block eachother. You can try it yourself just find a shield with life regen and try to craft % life regen on it on your bench. Im not at home right now. if your right it wouldn't change the craft much to alter it in this way and would make the craft way cheaper and more reliable.

OK, I don't have the life regen craft as it's a veiled craft but I am seeing shields with % and flat life regen on the trade website so i guess they don't block eachother. There goes my plan.

As it relates to the prefixes, though - I checked POB a while ago and it seems like there's not too much difference between +1 gems, % fire damage, % spell damage, and fire added as chaos. VD/DD is a weird DPS to calculate and I'm not a POB master so I could certainly be calculating wrong. But, after that I was going to craft my shield like this:

- Start with a shield with open prefixes, or at least nothing non-removable like mana, and three suffixes which can basically be only cold or lightning to be removed later, one of which can be a craft.
- Add/Remove life for T1 life
- Add/Remove fire for T1 fire as chaos
- Add/Remove fire until +1 to fire gems - if I hit fire damage, would remove with remove caster mods, and might keep if it was T1 fire damage

Then, the plan was to cut down to 1 suffix with removing the cold and lightning suffixes or whatever I had there, craft regen, and slam life to guarantee the % life on block. That seems no longer possible. If I wanted to DGAF about the max life, I would do this:

- Same start as before, but with % life on block as one of the suffixes
- Add/Remove for +1 fire gems - the only "pure" fire mod with no other types
- Add Fire, remove Chaos/Caster for T1 of either fire as chaos or fire damage
- Add Fire, remove whatever's left for the other mod

Which is using the same idea as you mentioned, only 3 possible fire prefixes on the shield. 100 flat life is a lot to lose, though. You could always follow the first process and then just slam life at the end and pray. 800/7800 chance to get the % life on block I think, and then a 50/50 life annul chance to try again.
