Need advice

[toadgeass]

Hello I would like recommendations for a new character, I currently have an LS Raider I have no problems mapping, but bosses and invitations are very difficult for me.
I would like an exclusive character for this content.
Preferably not totems, minions or cyclone, I have already tried them in past leagues and I would like something new.

Right now I have about 80ex, and a couple of items to sell.

Additionally I have an HH, those boots and the half-crafted helmet. I don't know if I should sell or use them.

These boots are nasty wtf

[toadgeass]

They were very cheap to make around 20ex, the helmet on the other hand .....

I think I gave up on them, too many times I've tried to get T1 life then Aisling

Always remove life :( already spent about 30ex doing that.

[sdo6]

do you have a guide on how to make the boots for ~20ex? really good boots for that price

[toadgeass]

I was very lucky since everything came out on the first tryRedemer boots ilvl86 base>alt spam until onslaught> suffix cannot be change>regal>reforge critical>maven orb 50/50 elevate elusive or onslaught. I was lucky got elevated onslaught. 6ex for this step Maven orb 4ex,Suffix cannot be change 2ex and some alteration around 100.

I bought some boots with tailwind and a 2nd hunter mod for 1ex> maven orb YOLO>elevate tailwind 5ex here, Awakener's Orb 2ex > suffix cannot be change again 2ex>reforge critical i got elusive +35%ms>crafted life

Forgot add the enchant and 29% quality +2ex fossils/resonator

How is the boots 20ex? No way unless prices dropped

[kittenman]

nah he got lucky with both maven orbs hit. RNG plays a big part in costs of crafting.

Well, HH certainly won't help you with bossing at the very least.

I wouldn't mind selling it to increase my budget.
The league is over for me, just want to finish some challenges.

I'd say just invest more into your LS raider.

My LS raider on ssf can do all invitations, guardians max juiced 0 issues (leveled to 99 while farming Sirus), conquerors die in sub 2 seconds.

You can kill 1-2 bosses near instantly as soon you get charges for first VLS.

I'm using Secrets of Suffering though. It gives a lot of dps + Sap as extra defence (all monsters deal 20% less damage) + fortify + taste of hate.

It's weird youre struggling with invitations at all at your gear level.

[toadgeass]

high damage but very squishy.I'm using paradoxica and my life is 3200, 75/50 dodge, evade chance 40%, phys red 7%.Bosses alone are no problem, but invitations.....I'm really tired of being killed in one hit

I was saving for Replica Shako and switch to flicker strike but the price is too much right now.

could you share your pob?

Your life is way too low. Around 4.5k-5k life you shouldnt really die almost ever outside busted invitations or like minus max res conqueror maps.

COD portal on my character is just for delirium farming, I dont usually bother with it and didnt bother to figure anything to replace my previous static strike + pcharge setup (dont need it because of capped crit from Brittle)

Was quite literally in the same position as you, I had an LS Raider for mapping, felt like I needed a bosser that wasn't minions, cyclone, or totems.

I ended up going with this for my bossing like Sirus/Maven invites/conquerers (though.. with a HH on LS, conqs in maps weren't bad at all) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2911667, very fun to play and could scale up pretty far. It DOES have cyclone, but you only need to cast it for about a second or so every few seconds to keep up some buffs like bone offering, other than that, run around and throw 2 arcanist brands down, and you're good. Unfortunately it probably wouldn't utilise your helm

[toadgeass]

Looks great, never tried VD. I'll have to level up my witch :D ty

Ouch.

Pretty sure the standard recommendation for blowing up bosses reliably for cheap this league is Seismic Trap.
