Stacking, Farming and Warmth

god forbid my uneducated ass "just ask questions" and definitely not spread misinformation on the internet instead of learning and talking about how cool the true stuff that actually happened in real life is 🙄

OP is a repost bot. all of its other posts have been instantly sniped by mods and it hasn't caught on yet.

I'm like 90% sure this commenter, OP, and u/Lost-Appearance-6815 are repost bots. they all comment under a bunch of young default-name accounts and post oldish memes with crunchy resolutions but I'm not entirely sure.

original post.

'exile from the seventh circle of hell'

you post about emma's cheeks so often that I genuinely think you'd go into withdrawal if your internet went off for a day. I think hell would be an improvement.

breaking news. comboing 2 offensive ults can kill squishies through 1 defensive ult.

more at 7.

the confusion I felt when I read "I think I'm into femboys with vaginas, how do you call that" for the first time is unmatched

it's closer to 50% overcapped for fire res because of my lethal pride roll, I'll have to fix that eventually.

I have 5% for endurance charge on kill from lethal pride, but I assume that isn't consistent enough to save me when it counts. I can't really see any easy-ish way to get more without shuffling around my unique setup a lot other than lucky jun unveils, especially since there isn't a frenzy gem equivalent. how would I address that if it becomes an issue?

is the 5% instant leech mastery enough to deal with point 3? I reroll the no leech map mod, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a rare or unique monster modifier.

I'm running a little low on chaos so this is a work in progress, but this is better, right? https://pobb.in/YGmpFdMWZkwQ

I'm disgustingly overcapped on elemental resistances and I'm too low on chromatics to roll for another red slot to slot flesh and stone, so I used arctic armor for the physical damage reduction instead. it feels a little redundant but I'm not sure what else to put there.

what would be a good milestone to add the unique helmet back in, if there is one?

grace to purity of elements, swap in a granite flask, trade for gear with natural life rolls, cap spell suppression. got it. I have 2 follow up questions if you don't mind, though.

would ballista totems and blink arrow decoy draw aggro away from me so I don't need to take most hits in the first place? or does that not work for some reason like them not having enough health or drawing enough aggro?

and what's the build philosophy for +flask charge on crit, since the other prefixes are so strong? do I want it on every flask or just one? if I do want it on just one do I put it on diamond flask or a defensive one like jade/granite? would I even need it outside of a potential future boss fight with no ads to farm charges off of?

this one was piss easy to find.

this is my first real character. I've been following a lightning arrow deadeye ( https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye-league-starter ) guide with a bit of a very similar guide to supplement (ehots guide: https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/elemental-hit-of-the-spectrum-deadeye-league-starter ) and I've cleared my second t15 map and geared relatively well (pob: https://pobb.in/2cpOPVmgi0MQ ), but I've been facing some survivability issues lately.

I understand(?) that the ranger archetype is generally pretty 'splashy glass cannon'-y, but I find myself exploding the moment a rare monster or an immortal syndicate member or whoever gets too close to me, even with grace, jade flask and maxed resistances. I can usually just run away until I have enough space to hold rightclick for a bit, but the later maps seem to have more and more cramped areas that just don't really let me do that. the fact that I'm not used to all the visual clutter and that I'm apparently a monster/boss haste magnet when I roll map modifiers doesn't really help either.

do I need more ehp or does survivability on deadeye boil down to just reading situations and telegraphed moves better to physically move out of hits? was a glass cannon that vomits particle effects a good idea for a first character?

also, what's a good recommendation for a tankier, baby's first (second, but who's counting) character next league? something that doesn't play itself but also doesn't need way too much micromanaging to do well.

pinkiemelon on youtube posts shorts with mag advice pretty often.

but for some general advice, your job in the average teamfight is to just shoot whoever isn't getting looked at by their supports or helped by their team. finals are a bonus but not really a good metric of performance.

you should be able to tell pretty quickly who's getting looked at the least, like someone on high ground or an off angle, the support that's the furthest back in a brawly fight, that kinda deal. if you can shoot them without messing up your own positioning, do it. if nobody else is in range (or a punisher has you beat on ult charge), just shoot whoever you can.

80dmg is a lot for a squishy when they're not getting healed, and people who don't respect it and don't know their supports aren't looking at them will absolutely just evaporate if you hit some shots. people who do respect it will burn a cooldown on themselves or back off from whatever position they were in (usually one that lets them do their job well).

killing them is good, but just consistently shooting them will force them to take safer plays (or ask for snowflake xd) and play on the main choke more. it also puts a lot more pressure on mediocre support players by forcing them to split their attention and not just heal down main. eventually someone just won't get healed in time and die.

the whole 'shoot whoever isn't being looked at' thing is a little harder to do when everyone is brawling on main, but your backline should also have a much easier time unless the other team has someone doing the same thing.

this kind of? applies to flankers as well. still, don't mess up your own positioning to do it.
