Hey, for me it looks like you have very little armor from your gear ofc that only affects the physical dmg your receiving. You can up you hp regen alot if you just get the Rise of the Phoenix or Saffix, since having more resist -> more regen left to really regen life. If i take the rise of phoenix off, I loose around 300hp/s more. So if regen is your problem (you have 4 hp potions) then get more max resist.

If you check my gear which i posted, im rocking 7100hp and 426ES with 1200~hp/sec. The ES is useless on the protective sense, it only gives some more dmg to RF.

Also if you dont mind one extra button to smash, use shield charge or leap slam combined with fortify support to give more dmg reduction.

at the moment I'm trying to figure out how to increase the RF range and the movement speed without losing to much damage, but I really cannot find a good solution!
I'm not good enough (this is the reason that explain why I need to follow a guide to play :-p)

Hey zellbest!

Don't be discouraged! You're struggling with what EVERYONE who plays PoE struggles with. It's how PoE works. Everything in PoE requires an investment and as a result you have to pick only a few things of what you really want in the build.

This build used to focus on Defense and AoE. The AoE was huge. But it didn't do enough damage. So then I focused on Defense and a little more damage. Then the endgame changed and the build needed even more damage...it's just how PoE is designed. Tough choices. You'll notice that most AoE increased come with almost no damage improvements.

EPIC items are what help builds combine more of what people want in a build. It takes time.

You're doing great!

Hey man, i know you say you can use "anything for gear" but could you give me an idea of a couple uniques that would be pretty solid in slots to mid to late game till i can learn more about crafting and such?

I know some people use Kaoms heart and such, but like, would a Carc work for the Inc aoe? would it fuck up the conc effect? Or like shields, people pop a phoenix, some use the saffells.

Idk, probably asking alot, dont feel obligated, i just have some issues with following builds without set items cuz im bad at making stuff lol

Hey SirSpiffyy! (Your name makes me giggle.)

I hear you. It can be pretty intimidating learning mods. But hang in there. If you take a look at all the rare gear that drops, you'll find you learn things quicker than you think.

To answer your question, I really don't pay attention to unique. So I'm only familiar with some old ones. Going with unique chest pieces is always tough because you're committing to that piece for your 5 or 6 link. But Kaom's or Carcass Jack do work really well. Others I remember are the shields you mentioned, Rise of the Pheonix and Saffell's Frame. I really like ANYTHING that increases the amount of Endurance Charges we have. And even more then amount of life regen we get per Endurance Charge. So Kaom's Sign(s) or Kaom's Way(s) are amazing.

With weapons, I'm really not sure. Since GGG added the Damage Over Time MULTIPLIER, I'm not sure which unique weapons would be good. But that's by far the strongest mod so make sure you pick something that has that going for it.

OH! I originally started the guide 100% for the reason of wanting to use RF without a shield and use Searing Touch instead. They added a sweet DoT Multi mod to that one. Do that one. Use it. USE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I know those are typical answers, but it's really all I have from memory. Sorry. But scroll through the wiki with this info and hopefully, this would have been helpful?

Thanks for your post.

Heya, thanks for the nice build!

I was planning on modifying this to give it a bit of my own flavour. sorry if this has been addressed on previous pages of comments, i couldn't see it in the pages i did view...

Just wondering what you thought about going to EE in the tree and using something like ball lightning to spread curses and trigger the exposure that way. Obviously this would mean not being able to use wave of conviction or purifying flame, and probably having to swap from incinerate to scorching ray.

Is the change worth it or does it mostly end up being mechanically and numerically the same either way as far as lowering resists and increasing damage goes?

Hey bchidge!

Thanks for the thanks! I'm glad you're liking the build.

Going EE is awesome. It's really strong too. GGG has added (over the last few leagues) some supports to help make up ground for non-EE builds. So things like Infused Channelling, Combustion, Wave of Conviction...they all really made this build do even more damage than EE.

That being said, if you add Scorching Ray to the build instead of Incinerate or whatever else you were planning, it changes lots of what I can personally do.

So to answer your question, which you're right on btw, you'd lose some of those perks that are currently in the build. BUT you'd still do way more damage. So, as you said, Ball Lightning could apply the curse. Remove Wave of Conviction, Purifying Flame, and Combustion from the build. Replace Incinerate with Scorching Ray (I'd have SR, Infused Chan., Burning D., and Inspiration). Without any items equipped PoB's 5-link RF would go from 175k to 225k and Incinerate/SR's damage would go from 97k to 167k.

So it'd 100% be worth it :).

Hey wrecker, can you help me understand something in your gear recommendations?

You say to pick the highest energy shield items available - is the only reason for that to scale RF damage or is there something else I'm missing?

I've been picking up armor items where I can because I feel like I've had more trouble surviving than killing stuff, and the ES is always zero from RF draining it anyway.

Hey greasypizza!

Happy to help. Yes, the highest available ES on our gear is 100% for damage. RF burns both Life and ES for damage. We put no effort into improving ES on our tree so the ES we get on gear is simply bonus damage. And yes, your ES will always be at 0 as a result.

Our best bet are likely Armour/ES bases.

Does that help?

Hi guys, I've just come across a Watcher's Eye jewel with this mod:

20% increased Recovery rate of Life and Energy Shield while affected by Malevolence

What does it mean? Is it only for flasks, or it really amplify our Life regeneration?

Awesome find mr_headcut!

Recovery refers to ALL methods of "healing". So that will give you even better life regen while that is equipped and have Malevolence running! Awesome find!

Hey Rex_Urhole!

The only thing I see really is simply life rolls...assuming you're capped on resists. You mentioned being stuck on the chest piece, makes sense. But a few pieces of your other gear have pretty low life on them. That's likely your best bet. Switching Enfeeble in as your curse will be a big help.

That's all I can see at a glance. I know it's nothing you didn't know already. Sorry. If you got an amulet that had the rest of your Attribute requirements that the original tree didn't provide, it'd likely free you up quite a bit.

Found this today, just need to do some crafting yet to see if I can get some better rolls on there but hey that dot multi tho right?

Well something's got to give - I've been stuck on level 88 for days and keep getting killed and losing exp about every 10%. Maps, delve, watchstone battles.

Am I going wrong here looking for fire damage/RF buffs on accessories (amulet, helm etc) and not staying focused on max life? My resists are overcapped and I have just over 900 life regen p/s. I put holy relic back on to help there but not sure if that's even worth it now.

I can tinker with the belt and maybe a few other things to get more life and keep resists capped+ I have 90+ max life on helm, gloves, shield. Haven't seen much in trade that is much better (without being stupid expensive. Belt and boots could be better for sure. but is there a big piece I'm missing here? Is it all tied up in my body armor? Or total armor value itself?

Getting frustrated for the first time with this build! (operator error :)
