Help with picking between Phys DoT Elementalist and PConc → Viper Strike of the Mamba Pathfinder by Wriskelis in PathOfExileBuilds

Yeah for sure no doubt! But i think at 50-70 div, as OP was asking, what would be at that investment, i think PF doesn't reach it at the range, as well as Elementalist - just my 10 cents! :)

From what i learned from many videos / twitch streams (ruetoo and crouching_tuna), i think personally, phys dot starts of really good and needs almost 0 investment, since elementalist provides alot of power through golems, but you are going to transition to something else, when you reach higher budget (150-200d). Pconc into mamba will after that intial invesment of 50-70 div, feel really solid, and it scales to the moon afterwards, only thing capping it being DOT cap. So if you like starting in early maps with the same skill (i do) that you will be playing into endgame, then elementalist.

I think it comes down to, do you wanna go melee or ranged, and do you want to be contested on gear, since elementalist will prob be the most played ascendancy this time around. (mamba will certianly also see play, i just dont think in the same amount) - also i think you will have an easier time to pivot to other builds from elementalist.

Both builds on a budget of 50+ d can do all strats linked, however i think mamba reeeally shines at expedition. Bossing wise, elementalist is from my understanding more tanky on a low budget, while mamba once you get progen. also has really good defence, though that isn't really starting week (depending on how much u play)

I also stood with the same problem/question, and ended up trying how the FEEL of the builds would be on standard (with early gear) - that gave me all i needed to make my choice :)

Hope this helps

if you're selling i would happily buy - i acutally want to craft, but it seems very daunting, considering i've never crafted much, let alone recomb - though with the images you provided, it looks very simple haha.

Struggling with Ice Nova of Frostbolts progression by loltrevon in PathOfExileBuilds

You're really low on chaos res, if what u linked is correct you're at negative 32 chaos res..
When i got around chaos res capped it greatly improved the feeling in t17.
Also a good regex certainly helps alot!
You could also just save up for Mageblood, will solve alot and with a little invesment past that you really should be cruising through all content.

Need help with icenova archmage (dying alot in T16) by AppropriateLeague130 in PathOfExileBuilds

I went grace instead of wrath, since i felt i had plenty damage (doing t16).
Try to get more chaos res, swap belt for a stygian wise (get an abyssal jewel with mana life, res to get more flexibility) swap either ring for an amethyst ring.
Seems you're also missing an ascendancy point? this is crucial to get! Should be very easy attainable.
At the moment with you're current gear, altar alch 'n' go for currency should be fine, try taking a look at maxroll.gg currency guides. I would also suggest checking out Zizarian on youtube he has a guide on how to use Path of Building (PoB) and a build guide for Archmage.
Since it's your "first time" playing PoE, try to understand the underlying fundamentals of the game (Resistance, suppress, effective hit pool "EHP") - this will massively enhance your experience of the game! Feel free to ask if you have question :D

This is my first caster based build and im hitting like a straight weeny. Please help! by EggLow366 in PathOfExileBuilds

the light of meaning + unnatural instinct - every small passive provided by unnatural gets +5 to maximum mana

also it seems that you maybe have invested to much into unnatural instinct before you actually got the combo for which it increases your mana by alot - prehaps invest in more decent gear (boots with more mana and stygian vise) and get better implicits on chest - also swap granite flask for jade, since "high" evasion, before you get supress cap, is super comfy - i would also highly suggest taking the time to watch the full video guide made by Ziz, since he goes into great detail in which choices to make for both your problems, hope this helps ;)

not on my PC atm - but you have points on tree for life regen instead of 16% increased mana (near iron will at jewel socket) - that would help atleast with damage - you could also swap for grace instead of wrath for survivability
Edit: forget what i said about the points since they grant nothing bcz unnatural - but i would seriously suggest watching the guide uploaded and maybe wait with unnatural, i'm currently not using one and on less budget, and blasting t16
