So where is the Pob (not the final) with just the TREE, and all the leveling steps together? Im confused.	Posted by Balantakos#6065 on Mar 7, 2019, 3:23:41 PM Quote this Post
The updates to the build looks very interesting. Will use this as my starter character in 3.6. Thanks for an awsome guide and all the work at updating it :)	Posted by C2H6O#2903 on Mar 7, 2019, 3:25:53 PM Quote this Post
Looks very promising. This will also be my league-starter tomorrow. Thanks for all the work and effort you put into it, Enki!	Posted by Tramek#7894 on Mar 7, 2019, 3:35:04 PM Quote this Post
As a new player, I love all the explanation. I'll definitely use this as my starter character for Synthesis. Thanks for all the hard work.	Posted by QuickoPOE#3460 on Mar 7, 2019, 3:40:56 PM Quote this Post
Feeling like my starter also. What if we use energy leech on trap too? Isn't it leeching in a different instance? Or am I completely wrong	Posted by PinkPuddle#5266 on Mar 7, 2019, 4:06:37 PM Quote this Post

Just check "cast without movement" button for leap slam and this would be fixed. Also, when I played zombimancer and used shield charge for movement, I has a Lightning warp for passing obstacles on my weapon swap (also as portal and other gems just for leveling or in case to swap, like Phys to Lightning for phys reflect maps etc). anyway, I dislike Leap slam, cos that 0.55 sec delay is not tolerable thing. Auctioneer House - is a MUST! 'POE2' is not 'POE1 2.0'! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3614313 Last edited by SilverWF#6383 on Mar 7, 2019, 4:10:35 PM	Posted by SilverWF#6383 on Mar 7, 2019, 4:08:43 PM Quote this Post

On stream he said he dropped a lot of unnecessary things, cos he wants to keep simple and not complicated. Meaning, he doesn't include a lot of things in here, that potentially are still very viable and very good for the build. Scepters are one of them. Enki prefers whirling blades and daggers, but if you do prefer Leap slam, by all means, it is still a very viable option. Hope this clears it out :D	Posted by b1zm4rk#2212 on Mar 7, 2019, 4:25:03 PM Quote this Post
After playing the whole Delve league with a scepter & shield charge I definitely prefer the more twitchy whirling blades. You have more control of your movement for sure. Shield charge just wasn't very good on bosses, whirling blades is great. The only issue is to make the build tanky enough when running wo/ a shield, especially since I want to do HC again this league, as long as the league mechanic isn't as obnoxious and rippy as Betrayal was.

Are we able to use all of those auras simultaneously? It looks like they would reserve well over 100% mana	Posted by elhigg86#0736 on Mar 7, 2019, 5:04:44 PM Quote this Post
