Sir, I tried to do as much as I can following to your instructions in last build on page 19 but I can't do higher T7 map, I died 2 or 3 times on mapping and stucked on lv88. I also enter Viridian Wildwood before doing map.

Can you give me some advices on my works. Down here is my character.

Hi, I think I went into the crit version too soon and now I'm suffering, I poured the little divines I have into the build and I feel like I'm lacking on both defenses and damage. Can you please tell me what should I focus on doing now to improve? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/OlDirtyNacho/characters

Hi there!

Loving the build so far and the image on the first page is pretty sick :p!

I did have a question though, as I am quite close to matching your most recent Crit build (I believe: https://pobb.in/yT5IV_OPTFEv) 1:1, minus a couple flask differences and lack of unique gems (namely prismatic eye).

I am having quite a bit of MP issues while running maps, granted it isn't the end of the world, however I notice the build doesn't call for an MP flask. I also am unable to activate all my auras, even after having the 90% res corrupted Thrillsteel and reservation mastery/free banner Ascendancy.

Any tips outside of obtaining a good Watcher's Eye to increase MP you might have? Appreciate keeping the guides up-to-date and your quick responses!

So, I can see you're a new player with only 2 characters. You probably need to get some of the basics down first.

1) You need to level your gems or buy lvl 20 ones. Priority being Purity of Elements. It should not be level 1; nor your Crit Supports so low.

2) Your main hand attack speed roll is really bad. You can def buy a much better replica wings with higher AS and Phys rolls for pretty cheap.

3) Get some flasks like these

4) If you're trying to farm the league mechanic, then expect to get one-shot a lot. T12 mobs feel like T16+ mobs when Empowered, so if you can't handle a certain map tier, then roll your maps Blue or run them on a lower tier.

5) If you're having problems surviving, instead of grabbing all the DPS masteries, get more life instead.

6) There are many videos on YouTube to teach you about mechanics and basics every player should know.

Hello, thank you for the general tips. I'm not a "new" player per se but I'm not seasoned either. I got like 1k hours played. My Purity of Elements is only level 1 because I have too many auras and I don't have much mana left to reserve, plus my resistances are capped with it being level 1 so I figured it's fine. Buying another Replica Wings of Entropy should be viable now since I made another div or 2 and about the flasks they are easily rollable so I'll get on it. Thank you for the advice. I was also moreso looking into what to actually invest into next, I was thinking about investing in the large cluster, that would help my DPS a lot.

Edit: also, I can't level the int gems past the current level they're at because I don't have enough int.
