Anybody uses Sanctuary of Thought Forbidden Flesh/Flame?
I see several options: 1. Get 300 ES and 2 passive points freed from Sovereignity cluster. 2. Get 300 ES and helmet enchant for extra Projectiles. 3. Use it with Ashes Of The Stars and Charisma Annoint. This brings total ES gain closer to 600. Plus also HoaG level. Which saves points for Chaos mastery. |

Hey, please help me to understand: why Ghost Dance over Iron Reflexes? With GD you have 3 stacks that in fight are used instantly. Then you get (and use) 1 stack every 2 seconds. I doesn't seem much considering IR works all the time (almost doubling ES gained from block) and does not depend on time-based stacks. Besides, while having Aegis we want to be hit to restore ES. Grace without IR kinda counters that.

" You will get stun locked eventually (block recovery isnt enough in high density to ensure all blocks will pass) so you need to evade some attacks to ensure "getting unstunned" recovering block and ofc the es that comes with it If you are bossing though and only one enemy hits you, even with a frequent beam like sirus youll be better off with iron reflexes Its written somewhere in the guide but may be a little hidden in spoilers of spoilers, or maybe even kinda lost in shopping list page 50 |

Couple of things. We don't actually want to get hit that often. As nice as armour is, our ele resists are not high, so getting hit twice can kill us. Layering block on top of evasion (we can evade and block cap) gives us very few hit times. Now this is where Ghost Dance comes in. We don't get hit often. Most of the time, we block and recover health. But say we get hit twice. Without Ghost Dance, we might die, but with it, we may not. Ghost Dance is our final backup, it covers us when we DO get hit.

I use Soul of the Brine King in the Pantheon and that's my protection against stun-lock (and also against freeze :)). Evasion as another layer of defense protecting from serial shots seems more reasonable to me. Thanks for explanation :) However, there is some information about even 500k armour possible. Even half of that amount would mean that single block recharges ES almost to full. So you could tank as many hits as you like. It is not possible with 50-60k armour when 1 block gives ca. 1000 ES. Adding evasion to that can be not enough to survive... There are also DOTs, where the only chance to survive is regain ES, which can be hard when we evade attacks and not blocking.
It's just my theory tho, don't have enough currency to test which option is better. Last edited by Jack0o on Mar 9, 2022, 9:43:27 AM

" In his variant Monik explains the reason for GD quite well, even including a flow chart: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/334#p24447710 But basically, if we don't evade (which you should have high evade) then no matter what happens we will heal thanks to GD. If we block, we heal (divine shield and aegis), if we don't block then GD. | |

TBH I rarely see Ghost Dance stacks drop. What kills me is either degen or one-shots (5.3k ES). Need to get more ES and then can face-tank everything.

Hi, can you help me please. I don't understand what i do wrong.
I can't fast run chayula pure breastones, 23 wave simulcarum kill me... That's my pob: https://pastebin.com/TQ73th0P What should I do with my build or playstyle? Last edited by mansigod on Mar 9, 2022, 1:36:26 PM

" Your block is low and dependent on your flask. If you switch to GB you can also swap out the tempest shield for purity of elements to get elemental ailment immunity (helps with simu). For simulacrum you need to make sure you bring along the 3 elemental flasks and swap in which ever is the damage bonus for that wave. Very important at higher waves as damage can get insane. Enchant them with use when full. This build doesn't do the higher level breachstones well, Hoag just isn't well suited to it. | |
