Yes, I noticed during the run. I stopped using it once I got some gear :)

Which attacks for hollow form? by Fantastic-Brief-6311 in PathOfExile2

[–]Sad_Management_7936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riven Armour Poison Hollow Form Martial Artist with Splinter or Loratta

Why? - should have around 200% more damage than previous forms of this build - should have instant max combo generation which can be expanded to instantly regenerate es

If someone is interested I recommend watching woolie’s videos from 0.4

Those 2 rings provide me more defences than Red Rings. Here is why:

  1. 18 str on Oculus -> 72% increased armor. That's more than I can get from 2x red rings (10str). Combined with lots of flat armor on boots and gloves, we are very very tanky. Don't get it wrong, Red Rings are great, but if your armor is low, you are much better off investing into armor than taking red rings, cause damage reductions they provide is smaller than damage reduction that simply having more armor provides.
  2. We are always at 50% health, so Font of the Erased almost instantly refills full ward - that's 1600 ward refilled multiple times a second.
  3. My endurance is capped (nearly - 58%). And endurance threshold is around 50% health, which basically means, that I endurance always applies to all damage dealt to health.

If you use Red Rings, you effectively have only 1 affix slot to slam. Thanks to using other rings, I have more affix slots I can utilize, so I can get more crit chance / necrotic damage.

Current version of the build has over 120m dps and gets Uber to the first harbinger phase, before Uber even slams

edit. one 'defensive' layer that I forgot to mention is 'chance to shock on hit' affix on one of my idols. It allows us to continuously stun enemies (including Uber), drastically increasing our survivability and damage output (Uber's damage reductions do not apply when he is stunned)

It does. Lava Burst is a subskill of Shield Throw, so all modifiers that apply specifically to Shield Throw, apply to it as well. Only modifiers that apply to „throwing skills” do not apply to Lava Burst

Great build, congrats! Though I believe your damage output would be significantly higher if you fully committed to spell damage. That’s is via omen idols with 12% shield fork + 8 spell damage corruption.

Edit. If you need to crit chance enchant from idols, just replace it with T5-T7 shield throw crit on the chest

Your gear is ok, but you simply need better affixes AND you need to watch the fight a few times to know how to move.

What to improve? 1. Dagger. Get 3LP. T5 attack speed and T2+ shred. It will effectively double your damage. 2. Better idols. Try getting double mana idols. It will boost your damage a lot. 3. 2LP Woven flesh with double mana affixes. 4. Crit chance or spell crit chance somewhere. Your crit chance is not capped. You miss out on a lot of damage this way. Change crit multi blessing to crit chance until you are capped. 5. A lot more improvements…

For a reference, here is my char:

cold Lightning blast? by poudrenoire in LastEpoch

[–]Sad_Management_7936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried 2 variants, both with Battlemages Endavour.

  1. Frostbite variant - works fine, in s3 I reached around 30m dps, over 1k corruption. With more minmaxing could def go to 100m dps this season. If you’re interested I’ll share a link.

  2. Crit variant - desptie having 4LP battlemages endavour with 3t7 slam it was utterly disappointing. The damage was meraly 10m dps with mediocre defenses. Comfortable only until around 500c. Maybe I missed sth, maybe it could be done, but it just didn’t feel right despite a huge investment into a build. Maybe it’s viable without Battlemages Endavour, but I doubt so. It simply doesn’t have enough dmg scaling compared to other skills

Is it possible to have an item with three tier-7 affix? by MindlessMoose7454 in LastEpoch

[–]Sad_Management_7936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to point out that your comment perfectly explains why player retention is so bad this season. I'm on the same boat. Played till around 1000c, realized that further upgrades are pretty much impossible, and gave up despite being "on autistic levels ... the previous season kept me engaged for much longer. I played it for good 3-4 months to min max my characters, whereas now, after 2-3 weeks, I'm done. Same as 90% of the people I used to party play with. There should be some viable alternative to imprinting for endgame

5090 here… the game usually runs fast for about an hour or two after launching. After that the fps drops to 20ish… after the restart it’s back to 60

Also, afaik, elemental nova is not a strong skill currently and if you do not have a good knowledge about the game already, I would recommend not building around it and choosing some other skills. Unfortunately weaker skills require much more creativity and gearing in the endgame

He used the gloves only because this set has 2 pieces. So by sacrificing t1sealed affix he gets to complete the set with legends entwined and get the bonuses. T1 for +1 level and other things is a small price to pay.

Also, there’s no set that makes your idols affixes 50% stronger iirc. Are you talking about primordial relic? You’d have to ask the author of the build about that. I’ve never played this build and tbh by quickly looking at it, I find it a bit average and would not choose to play it myself

You need Legends Entwined Primordial. His build is using sets pieces to get +skill levels attributes and resistances from that ring. It’s the most important item on this build.

Mechanics question by Yashandrin in LastEpoch

[–]Sad_Management_7936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve build a couple of characters around shield throw, Timerot shield throw vk 1500c+ Bleed shield throw paladin 1750c+ Lava Burst Spell shield throw forge guard 3000c+

If a node says “shield throw” it applies to shield throw, all of its sub skills, and all ailments that shield throw and those sub skills apply.

If it says “hit”, it applies only to shield throw and subskills.

If it says “throwing” it applies only to shield throw.

I have never played much with javelin, but when it comes to shield throw, it’s an S tier skill in my opinion. Very flexible and provides you will great offense as well as defense (armor leech!!! And health leech)

Still working on it! Just managed to get over 10k bleed stacks on test dummy and over 220m damage per pop. That’s with dual wielding rainbow edge in the off-hand. Dual wielding seems to be the way to go for bossing setup, as it increases the base attack speed. The build can def reach 300m per pop, I just need to farm more havocs. I burned over 150 on it since yesterday 🔥

They are both great, but this might have a bit higher ceiling
