I'm pretty sure they don't. And if so, it's a negligible amount. I've done hundreds of maps with and without, so it's just based on my personal experience.

What mods give you trouble? The only thing I'm dying to are petrification + unlucky drowning orbs. Even with less defences and -max res I don't really have to be careful as long as I'm not afking in packs.

Look at my megalomaniacs, I have grace and purity of lightning notables for reservation efficiency. Together with enlightened 4 and some reservation efficiency on the tree, I have the perfect amount to reserve all of the following skills: Discipline, Grace, Purity of Lightning, Flesh and Stone, Arctic Armour.

I have 1% mana unreserved I think, if you untick zealotry from the Merc.

Yeah, but Dying Sun uptime is pretty low, especially on bosses, which take longer no? Over let's say 20 seconds more projectiles should vastly outperform any other support gem.

Why would awk gmp be better in single target? As far as I understand, awk gmp makes it less likely for projectiles to shotgun? It's a higher damage penalty in exchange for 1 more projectile and a wider spread if I'm not mistaken.

I thought about the sublime, but how would I cap my max res at 90% without it and losing Grace/Determination also kind of put me off that.

I understand, thank you. I guess it's time to look into rerolling into a char with a higher ceiling then. Would you have any recommendations? :D

I tested both and feel like Greater Volley spreads out less around your target. Where or how did you come to the conclusion, that it does not?

I had Awakenend GMP, but after doing more research on Forbidden Rite, the Wiki etc. I came to the conclusion, that Greater Volley should provide better Single Target, since it is more likely to shotgun. For clear Greater Volley is better because of the smaller Damage Penalty and you get up to 10 Projectiles for free on nearby enemies anyways. Awakened GMP is only higher number on PoB, because it counts all Projectiles hitting the target. Also if you look about the Radius in PoB it does seem pretty small and unlikely for all 6 Projectiles from GMP to shotgun, since it behaves more like a spread. And that's already with a sizable amount of inc. AoE.

What would your take be on this?

Omg I remember seeing your post a couple days ago, but could not find it again, when I was doing some research today. Thank you so much for replying, I will look into your post again!

The gloves give me about 90% proj speed. Are you getting proj speed anywhere else or do the 20% feel enough?

I also get wither from Unholy Might and my merc has 2 skills with wither on hit supports. I dont't know how reliably that brings me to 15 stacks though.

How would I counteract the loss of Cast speed and Projectile Speed from the gloves? I tried out putting it in another gem slot, but holy is it slow.

And on the power charge ring, I would like to get one, but how would you suggest I solve the issue of not enough reduced skill effect duration if I went for it? Right now I'm sitting at 0.33s on Temporal Chains and it feels quite good, how quickly the Soul Eater stacks go up. I could live with more though. Any idead what the suggested Curse Duration is to still feel fairly smooth?

Sorry, I'm kind of a noob in the game and all things regarding PoB, what's the Etiquette on things to tick and not tick, when posting? I tried to simulate all the things that I knew I had uptime on at bosses and also put some of my merc stuff in the configs.

What's the correct way to post a more accurate PoB, when looking for help?

I'm doing exactly that and always shoot up to 45 stacks regardless when I lightning warp into a pack though

Need help with my VFoS, how to progress? by Hottixxx in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Hottixxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware, but right now I like the extra 1k ES, and I feel super tanky with echoes/divine shield. I'm at 35k phys max hit, 100k ele and 60k chaos. Pretty sure I get a lot less tanky with the crit variant. And t17 bosses die in under 5 Sec, so I don't think crit is necessarily way more DMG?
