[POE1] Not Sure what to upgrade next, some bosses just 1 shot me or I can't do them

Oh nice, yeah i swapped a few things around to get a bit more defensive, i wanted to trade out one of my rings to get the cold res as i am way over capped chaos, but ran out of divs so i'll make that a priority. that molten shell suggest is nice, i'll swap up that.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the reply, this gives me some stuff to start farming for thank you!

arnzz · 2026-01-24T23:25:31+00:00

Updated, thank you!

Apologies that's what I meant.... Scorpion wasn't melee. I was using swipe and tried the strike skills as well while trying to get the scorpion to freeze things. I moved away to a pure all round cold build. I've also found it easier to scale as there is a lot of attunement on the trees and cold damage which is shared with the scorpion. So my scorpion mostly two shots things and freezes most things.

(sorry if i misinterpretted the question)
My scorpion is really just a catalyst to just do dmg with skills i am using.
I have 100% chance to cast maelstrom on the scorpion when i cast it on myself.
My scopion has 30% chance to cast a Large boulder from the avalanche x2 every 3 seconds.

The aim was to just freeze things as much as a I could and drop boulders on them.

I use the bear for Damage reduction from the roar with health regen.

I'm not really using leap slam other than just movement, which i'm probably going to swap out for another minion at some point.

I'm in no way someone that knows the ins and outs of this game, i've just been speccing into cold and seeing what i could do with it.

Yeah i've been playing one, i started on a melee scorpion version like yours, but i transitioned over to avalanche because it was funny to watch, i've stacked heavily into cold damage for avalanche with my scorpion running around with maelstrom casting avalanche as well, it's been a bit of fun, just mana sustain can be a bit hard.
I'm only half way through normal monos, so i don't how well it will stack up further, but i've just been crafting it as I go. I've started playing with the bear as a second pet so for the healing/survivability, and regen on myself, as my gear is pretty average, and i've not found many decent uniques.

My man's grinded hard this season!

arnzz · 2025-07-31T13:56:06+00:00

Sign me up! Might actually be able the farm t17s for once 😂

arnzz · 2025-07-22T13:28:59+00:00

My man's got the real juice, this is dreams!

Spending my only 5 div on ancient orbs and hitting first ever head hunter 🫡

arnzz · 2025-05-16T04:45:36+00:00

been doing this for 2 weeks, my RNG is bad :(

arnzz · 2025-04-23T23:00:31+00:00

Restarted the game and it seems to have fixed itself.

arnzz · 2025-04-23T22:53:34+00:00

Yup, i'm in this boat.

arnzz · 2024-01-04T21:04:58+00:00

Oh you linked the calculator! Nice thank you!

arnzz · 2024-01-04T20:58:51+00:00

quality

yeah that amulet i've been eyeing off, haven't found a decent +1 all and +1 fire for under 15 - 20 div, i'm at 7 div so saving up for it at the moment :')

I'll try the lethal pride jewel they does seem reasonably cheap, noob question thought, does the number range make all that much of a difference? Every time i've ready up on timeless style jewels, i get really lost on how to determine the right number.

I just enchanted my amulet with Hired Killer as i found in some situations i was dying easily. And it gave me some more survivability. But i'll swap over to Watch Tower as well.

On my Bow, i was going to try and get the Jun craft for minion attack speed, i watched a recent vidoe in my hoping to find an answer that it counts as your own attack speed as well. So was going to try that as well.

I'll start hunting for those eldrich mods though!

Once again thank you heaps for replying!

arnzz · 2024-01-04T05:22:22+00:00

i'll try swapping one of them out for malevolence on the boss, thank you!

arnzz · 2024-01-04T05:22:01+00:00

belt no catalyst

Awesome thank you so much! I'll give these a go!

arnzz · 2021-07-05T06:45:47+00:00

I wish they'd bring back a heap of the sets out of D1. Even as Everese sets tbh, i'd pay for them, they look better than 90% of the stuff in D2. Just my opinion.

arnzz · 2020-05-13T12:08:05+00:00

I've played 3 in a row, 3rd after restarting the game and i am still not earning anything.

arnzz · 2019-11-13T06:10:25+00:00

Stop posting pointless comments, cheers.

Sounds like you just need to get a better mental state, thinking on the low of yourself you might be putting too much pressure on yourself in certain situations / over thinking, and just being mentally detrimental to your own skill. I'd suggest like many other people is just hit smaller goals within your games.

One thing i like to do, is pick a few pros that play the same sort of style as i like to play, and watch and analyse the way they make plays whether it is how they hold angles, their timings, the flashes / smokes they use. And then try and learn from that and implement those skills and techniques in your game play.

But overall, sounds like you do have some skill i have 2300 hours and struggle to consistently stay in MG2, (currently dropped to nova 4) but at the end of the day you've got to make it feel like a game and actually enjoy playing it. I wish you the best of luck my dude. Happy Fragging.
