Make stuff that can kill you visible

Also double check that it's not nasty ignite or bleed/poison. Ik you said one shot but for me the difference maker was getting ignite immunity and other ailment damage reductions. Ailments really chew away at armour characters quick on higher mods.

Drop dead，It's quite common, me too...

character

armor seems to be over 60k when running maps

im not dying regularly, just sometimes it happens instantly and without seeing why among all the visual clutter

Yea thats ... thats fully offense built alright not surprising. Pretty much mimicing what I saw in that guide.

Preface:
This build guide may help people get into the game. But it is absolutely, without a doubt, ultimate garbage/bait/bad advice for anyone trying to push content.



1)
0 pieces of gear with armour applied to elemental. Which to be fair you CANT because you are res pressured cause of HH...

I have some from tree, but elemental seems not to be a big issue

"

2)
I would have suggested using Defiance since you dont care about + skills on your amulet.

But then you are res starved because of HH x2


If you are going to use a rare amulet it should have %life on it. Yours does not.

I just cant find/afford anything better atm

"

3)
Just a brief thing about armour and, ESPECIALLY titan.


If I see someone ignoring these nodes as titan WITH hulking form:



Its just intentionally griefing. These are the best nodes on the tree for an armour based character. The first cluster the small nodes give 27% and then you get recoup as well for the keystone.

I dont really have many extra points, maybe could go for a few more, but ddint feel as they give that much difference against larger hits.

"

4)

If you are using brass dome you should be taking this node every single time without question.


This makes one of the most dangerous map mods in the game actually a free mod. As if you get crit, you take less damage with brass dome and this node.

why if i already dont take any extra from crits from brass dome? "Take no Extra Damage from Critical Hits"

"

5)
Theres a pretty obvious choice if it comes down to these two ascendancies.

25% more damage on a conditional wont make or break a character. And you are not even building stun buildup that much on your tree anyways. Thanks to this horrific build guide.

its for crushing blows, that go off quite often on bosses

"

6)
This if anything should convince you how bad this build guide is right here. I saw this on that guide and I ... couldnt believe it.



This build guide actually tells people to grab if you HAVENT been hit recently. You should NEVER grab that side of this cluster. ALWAYS grab if you have been hit recentely. There is no world where I could even imagine, that you would take if you haven't been hit recentely.

This is a failure on the authors part and it really annoys me that build guides get out with stuff like this on it.

this seems to have been mistaken for the other side with have been

You're also ignoring these ... with hulking form...


[/quote]

this seems to be ignored by quite a few builds ive seen

"

8)

I really dont want to go any further than this.

If a build guide, doesnt have a swap tree. Like its just a main tree and thats it.

Disregard. Learn from someone else. This author that put this "build guide" up clearly thinks in 15th dimensions or something with all the crap they have going on.

Not having a swap tree at all is just... they barely understand POE2. Thats really where its at.

I hate swapping trees, cant be bothered with it, i understand the benefit but im too lazy for that, just like i hate weapon swapping in any game

You hate weapon swapping? You don’t have to, it’s just so you get free damage or defense for a single button press.


For example my swap gives me defiance/war banner

Massive damage and defense And I build glory for them without having to swap at all.

And I press Q for my consecrate staff for a large ground regeneration



That’s it.



You 10,000% don’t need crushing blows and all this damage/area of effect you have on this tree.


This build guide has you convinced this is the only way to play this build.


It’s not

If you wanna hold onto “well I see a lot of people on ninja do this…”

Okay great, most the people on ninja follow a build guide and don’t care about defense or understand this game at any depth. Which is seen by not taking defend against crits with 200% armour while wearing brass dome.



You’re gonna continue to have these issues if you don’t branch out from this thing. Good luck

if brass dome doesnt set all crit multi against you to 1 then the description of it is wrong and should be changed in game, yes more armor against crits would reduce damage taken then as the multi should be 1, but you have 200 armor against it


dont crushing blows provide heavy stuns against bosses disabling them for some time, usually enough to delete them or at least do a lot of damage while they dont move out of the bell on top of being damage increase against bosses

yea,you are goddamn right!

You're not even playing the game since 0.2, so you can't really join the discussoin.

Lol, just randomly died with nothing on screen around me... after i died some rare crab crawled out, its really great that this game tells you what killed you

I would switch headhunter for something else. I dislike Headhunter for a number of reasons:
- It makes getting all resistance harder
- it's encourages you to play really fast (and make more mistakes)
- It makes it harder to see attacks you need to avoid.

I would also try to get 100% armour applies to elemental. The monster animations in this game are more cosmetic than informational. What I mean is, there are plenty of elemental attacks that don't look like elemental attacks. Furthermore, there are elemental attack that deal VERY LARGE amounts of damage. More damage than 75% resistance can save you from. And finally, ignite and poison damage scale based on the size of the initial hit.

TLDR. %armour applies to elemental is very, very strong. It's basically the only thing that makes Armour good.
