I'm following this build atm, at lvl 66 currently, about to move to wrecking ball and then I'll decide on a weapon and specialise (only have the one 20 percent dmg with axes -fell the weak- and 10 percent armor node atm)
I didn't take green nodes leading upto movespeed right at the scion start yet and am missing 3 of the life nodes atm but other than that I have everything in this build except for the axe ones and the little path to wrecking ball.

Seems to work out well so far.

edit: spectral throw scion build

any tips for some improvements? I have a few refund points

I'm not sure abou the 3 percent 3 percent 15 percent green attack speed nodes on the way to iron grip, and just noticed the 18 percent life node near wrecking ball.

damage scales more than life. did you know that?

L2DR.

Accuracy diminishes drastically at high levels. Your 24% accuracy? Like almost 1% more accuracy, which is shit. Might as well attack more for more chances of hitting.

pretty sure everybody knows about grace

if its that hard to understand what he is saying, let me make it simple for you - eva% only nodes are mathematically inferior compared to arm% or eva/arm% when using iron reflexes because they are only applied on base evasion. he is 100% correct because that is maths.

EV% = Armor% using Grace with IR. Deal with it.

Deal with the wiki. You use Grace because you can, why not? Still the better choices are armour nodes and hybrid nodes since both get applied twice.

OK. I'll keep stacking armour nodes as planned.

Thanks.

--------------------

Anyways, I need to do a stash clear out. (Nemesis)

I''ve sold tons of stuff already, but most of this stuff has been lurking.

So I'm doing a GAF special, Humble Bundle style.

If you see something you like, pay me what you want for it.

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/583952

I'm going to try and take a break for the next couple days, I've been waaaaaaaaaay too hooked, like unhealthy levels of PoE. So I'll get it to you as soon as I can.

So just add me, and message me, or if you see me in Guild chat, holla. (or you can always PM me here, or on the PoE website)

SMurkadurka or Rhondatheblondewander are my two characters I'm using currently.

hey if you wanna learn more about the total armor equation when using iron reflexes, feel free to message me in game or on neogaf. if you also wanna learn about additive vs multiplicative maths feel free to ask about that.

the 3-3-15 as% is worth 7% each node, vs 6.25% for each node for the AS% at the Scion starting point (+6% MS%). to me they are worth similar amounts. the benefit is that they are more node efficient and can be taken along the way early game, which makes them a little better compared to the scion AS% imo.

Hahaha, I need the currency, I just spent like 15-20 chaos worth of gear for my shitty wander character.

Why did I make a gear dependent character, whyyyyyyyyyyy.

So bad too, I only get like 1600 deeps on it, at level 60.

455 crit damage, 44.4 chance with my power charges.

Flaky, I'm always running from mobs. The archers at Fellshrine put me below 50% routinely.

Anyways Sarcasm, if you see something man, just say so. I'll put it aside.

So post first normal completion with my witch I started a scion and accidentally made it in domination league. Shrines are interesting I guess, but what is really different in domination?

Also, I was reading that the league lasts 40 days then the character goes into a normal league. What happens to the stash? Are they all of a sudden shared and stuff gets deleted or?

That's it. Shrines. There might be some Domination-only uniques, but I haven't paid attention to that stuff.

Domination and Nemesis last 4 months. After they end, Dom chars get moved to Standard, surviving Nemesis chars to HC. Dead Nemesis characters go straight to Standard.

Once they're migrated, your Dom/Nem stash tabs are temporarily added to your Standard/HC stash. You can only remove items from them. Once they're emptied they'll disappear next time you log in. The temp tabs stay for as long as you have items in them afaik.
Race rewards are also given out this way.

I think this will be my new Scion build so far. 80 points used.

Edit: The one thing i did different over a lot of builds i see are they waste tons of points going for Diamond Flesh when you can just tick off those two %6 resist green nodes for the same effect.

Do you see those two nice 30% evasion nodes beside Sentinal?

No reason to ignore evasion only nodes.
Click to expand...

I took strength nodes to get to sentinel. I see dex nodes. Unless your talking about a different one. I am talking about the one south of scion.

If you had to choose between an evasion node or armour node (while having iron reflexes)..the armour node is better. Hybrid or evasion..Hybrid wins.

is that a domination build?

86% hp is -tiny-. you're taking really low value offensive points. early projectile damage can be ignored completely. physical damage isnt that big of a deal for LA ranger, esp not the 6% phys damage points

i assume you will be running blood magic too, because LA/frenzy is pretty expensive but you got no hp

Just Standard.

I thought physical nodes would be worth twice compared to elemental nodes because Lightning Arrow converts 50% physical to lightning.

Likely won't use Blood Magic and just rely on Mana Leech.

I'm currently in Act 3 Normal. I will probably hit 500-550HP if I spend my passive points now.

i dunno how much you get from elemental nodes (my nemesis LA archer doesnt use any - relies on crit), but 6% extra physical isnt worth any more than itself. your base phys damage will go up by +6%, and half of that will be converted to lightning.

keep in mind +damage% is additive too, so its not even an increase in 6% dps

I can run just fine (I am fast too) but it's so damn hard to hit them. and boy do they hit hard as well. shiiiit

So, hit my first snag with my flicker strike build. I am nowhere near tanky enough to fight dominus in cruel. My first problem was lacking resists which I am working on by farming some new gear. Capped my lightning resist and now working on my fire/cold (which are at about 40%). But my main problem is that flicker strike doesn't do anything for avoiding melee range AoEs that 1-hit you.

Might need to consider adding cyclone+life gain on hit if it works as mentioned in this thread. Though I've been fine with pretty much every boss so far up til dominus. Vaal Oversoul was a bit of a bitch with that snipe that perfectly hits flicker strike no matter where you are. But my 3.8k dps seems to make up for it.(level 56)

STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE
so ya know how you can hold down the mouse button to keep attacking your target?

and you know how you sort of follow the enemy around when you do this, so you track them when they move?

and you know how dominus moves around a bit?

and you know how people can place town portals ANYWHERE?




long story short I got no credit for the kill

You need better gear/health if you are getting one shot by stuff. The only thing that did any big damage in the Dominus fight is the powerup move that hits in an aoe around him. That took me down to like 65% health.

Click to expand...

That powerup move is the one I was talking about, and it's hard to avoid when you're waiting for 3 flicker strikes to finish (multistrike) so I lose basically all of my dps for the fight. I have about 1.7k health which is probably low, but that said I haven't really tried since I capped my lightning res. I'm currently farming for better gear at the docks, because if I die that easily there I figured I definitely wasn't ready for Merciless yet.

Edit: Honestly I probably didn't do a great job of my build either, just did a stat calc and I only have about 42% increased health nodes and about 40 extra max life from passives, which I probably need to fix, but it's a bit late to respec just yet. Might just jump around some easy points to quickly increase my life for the next few points. I do have 5.2% health regen per sec though, which is a nice counter to Blood rage, for now.

Nope I am BoboZhang. Strangely my drops have been getting better. Actually got a nice two hand mace. Used currency on it to get 3l on first try and my colors too. Would have gone further but I didn't want to chance.

Then I got two unique in less then a minute. Latency with this game is my issue. Connect to Australia 160 and in Singapore which is a bit more near to me I get 400. Partying up gives me 300 easily.

Yet I can play a different game with sine of my friends who live on the east coast in the states with 120ms. I live in Taiwan.

New extension to my spectral throw build. Chance of me dying to reflect - 99.999% :p

I wanted to show off damage and i overextended, also my framerate dropped to 30 with fraps with all those explosions and i didnt notice that Perpetus got frenzy charges :p

My current skill points distribution
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...vorXyu-2-ir6nwA_QR9Ih0k3nY-sJ8pf3vvyJ_Qv-jw==

Scary part is that this build will get 3x more dps in future.

Ps. And sorry for resolution, but i wont play in 720p window, i've died this way at once :p

What kind of deeps are you putting out?

Also, I just found out that endurance charges increase your resistances too. WTF, since when?

Gotta revisit my plans after finding that out.
