I forgot to link my gear and gems in my previous post.

Life: 3600.
Armour: base 5300 with granite 16k. Not sure how much with molten.
Dps: 21k with infernal and 15k with dominating.
Block: 74% What is the cap?
Res: 75 to all elemental -60% to chaos.

How high lvl maps can i do with these stats? I have done up to lvl 72 so far.
Do my gems look ok? Should i get some more gem with quality?

Don't see how it is possible for you to wear that BOR as your dex is too low.

You are right and you have sharp eyes. Indeed my dex was too low so i had to deviate from the build a little. Apologies.
Completely forgot to link my passive tree as i also forgot to link my gear. Memory is bad :)

My passive tree:

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBAdwCcQSzBS0M9xLhFE0ZLhoyG_ol3yftKS4xnjWSOuE8LT0PQKBBh0TnR35KyE3jT31RYFcNWfNeE2BLYSFlTWaeZ5tuaW6qcH1yqXTtd2J4DXrvfNl99YBWgziEY4TZhO-QVZHOmSueuaC0ogCkGaZXqW6rxayqrK-vbLXytz653bvtvYG-ir6nwA_AGsOGxBXEuMT2xYrGrtJN1I_V-Nlh4urnkenV7w7vfPAf8i_yRfno-tL7qv4K_o8=

Not very optimised at the moment. I know.
I had to use 3 extra points for res and also another 3 points for the big 30 dex and 30 int.
Then i had to put 2 more points for mana flows. So all in all i have spent 8 points on this.

That's the big problem with this build in my opinion. You have to get so much stats on your jewelry because every other slot is occupied by pre determined items.

You need life, resists, mana leech, life leech, dex, int on your jewelry not to mention they also need to have very high flat physical damage. Finding decent jewelry like this is almost impossible. I spent days looking for better on poe xyz but this is what i could find for my budget (Max 2 ex per ring/amulet) But maybe i am not looking for the right jewelry.

So this is probably something that should be included in the guide. Take time. Plan your stats. Look for perfect jewelry. So you don't have to "waste" 8 points to finalise the build like i did.

@Alcoor666
I have ele reflect problems only in ele reflect maps ( not monsters with ele reflect aura) with ele weaknees/-max resist ... and i just reroll these maps... i prefer not to risk it.

As for your build i've said it milion times but i'll say it again. Block is THE BEST defensive mechanic in Path of Exile. Having no block is a huge drawback in term of survivability (note that block can and it does affect reflected attacks elemental and physical damage). Other than that.. i see that you've spent too much points into resists but i guess that's gear related. Iron Reflexes... i don't know your gear... but so many wasted points to get there... if you don't have alot of evasion from your gear it's pointles... and if you run Grace... well if you are able to run Grace and Hatred and still cast with mana i guess that's ok... otherwise - no it's not good. If you use Blood Magic gem - DON'T. That's a huge hit on your DPS.. i.e. i lose around 11k DPS if i use Blood Magic instead of Added fire Damage. And about the two -15% from crit damage... i really find those 2 nodes useless in PvE. Almost nothing can crit you.. and even if it does the multiplier is usualy only 150%. Other than that everything seems fine.[/quote]



Thanks for reply first
-for the 2 -15% crit is the shortly way for life node, is the only reason
-i use grace and tempest shield (tempest shield+curse on hit+culling strike) normal i have 8000 armor, with grace i have 13.000 armor, i try with determination only ( i remove iron reflex from passive) and i have 9000 less about.
-elemental res node close to sion is for reach +15% melee dmg and for reach 75 in all ress, maybe i need gear with more ress i think...
-i dont use blood magic, only mana because my primary attack ( infernal blow ) is not expensive.
sorry but i'm not able to show you my gear, well bringer+facebreaker+daresso shield that is base, then titan boots 2 primatic ring+ onyx amulet+ rustic sash (but i think heavy belt maybe is better)
how can i post my equip guys???
what you think about??

While I don't follow your build I have used it as inspiration.

The reason why I don't follow it is because I am suicidal and I don't use a shield despite the fact I play on Nemesis. WHY!??!!?

It's purely... well... because I prefer the 2h punching animation.

I have made it into Nemesis Merciless without a shield. ;)

I am using as a quiver since lvl 22 and haven't found anything that is better and that I can afford. I also can't afford Meginords so my DPS is not as good as I'd like it to be - if anyone has a spare one they don't need, send me a PM ;).

Despite all this, I have managed to clear merciless Fetid Pool on lvl 51 without larger problems.

I have a question about shields.

I am lvl 52 and want a good shield. What should I use?

Something with the highest block ( Crest of Pernadus? ) or should I look for a shield my lvl?

Does that work? Never thought about it. And it sounds like a great idea!



Ofc it works and should be used together with curse on hit
and punishment That way if you get attacked by ranged when you are fighting up close to some other mobs, those ranged mobs kill themselves.

Interesting... will check it out soon... but i won't use punishment - ranged monsters are not a problem for me... mainly because the "fighting up close" usualy ends with a single blow from my side.

I love it though to stand still and watch them simply melt away.
