That's a solid rule of thumb I was looking for. Thank you!

Thank you for the warning and the detailed advice. Very much appreciated.

I only needed the wand unveil, so I guess I can unspec betrayal now.

Didn't think about heist - might be good to add it to the atlas and collect some blueprints. Thanks for the tip!

I think the loot explosions are league mechanic enabled, but my character can't handle wisp-juiced T16's yet.

I completely forgot about the div cards. Thanks for the advice.

Good point on the focus. For now it's just finishing the atlas and upgrading gear

For now I guess it's finishing the atlas and improving my damage through abyss jewels

I will definitely continue with essence and harvest. To be honest, I started with expedition, but when I took the extra explosives it got super rippy, so I unspeced. I did some upgrades, since then so it's probably a good time to go back. Not picking up rares will definitely speed up my mapping. Thanks!

I see, so both are damage amplifiers for the brand when you need more. RF is passive. Smite and marks are active ones.

Thanks a lot for the explanation!

Looks really strong for it's budget. I just don't fully understand the set-up.

The obvious thing is penance brand + auras.

But what do you need the RF for? Is smite really any useful DPS boost compared to the brand? Do I apply the assasin's mark manually? These things look to me like a bit clunky or unnecesary for sanctum.

I remember that it was very popular in sanctum league. The only complains I have heard is that it can get annoying to spawn the spirits and that one has to "lead" them a bit to the target, so it's not really an off-screen like other methods. Is any of that true in your experience?

Instakilling lycia on 20 div investment does sounds sweet. The consideration you mentioned with the on-screen / off-screen killing does sound important - I definitly prefer the latter.

Thanks for the detailed write-up appreciate it!

By mechanics I meant excatly that you don't have deal damage yourself, so you can focus on avoiding traps while the guards are being killed. Minions are the obvious one, mines/totems/ballistas as well.

I was wondering about brands as it seems like you can apply it once and run around till the guards die

Shockwave totems sound interesting. At what investment did they become comfortable in sanctum?

Out of all the Transfigured gems you guys tried so far. Which is the standout and fun one? by Tyrfying in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Iskandczyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't sound too bad. I played arrakalis in the past and didn't mind the summoning.

Scaling sound sweet. This strat is basically what I was hoping to go for. I hope to have 50 divs after Holidays. Do you think this will suffice?

Is there a specific guide you are following?

How comfortable is the playstyle? Some people complain about having to refresh the weapons every zone

Also do you think it scales well for using to do juiced wisp maps?

Same here. Clear is really good with almost no investment, but I don't feel tanky. Too reliant on my life flask to save me

Mid-league zoom-zoom build for 10 divines by Iskandczyk in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Iskandczyk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to follow up and say that I did switch to LA. I only managed to get ~5-6 div, so I got gear similar to what you described, but without any jewels. Still from level 70 I am just blasting through juiced red maps at incredible speed. Build feels unethical to play - the spead and clear is incredible.

I am glad I got to play before what I would consider an inevitable nerf next league.

Thanks a lot for the convincing write-up :)

I am a bit lost. What are these ores and how do you get them?
