[2.0] YeahPete's Hardcore Elemental Molten Striker | custom Loot Filter | Affordable

could you explain why yourespect completly from level 80 to 81?!?!
thats an insane respec, I guess the regret points from quests arent enought?!?!
how much regret orb do we wneed?! and is this respec a must?! when should i respect? only when i have an alpha hawl?! (i want to do this build but i am poor i cannot afford such a huge respect, whiel i could invest more in gear instead)

also do we go only physical if we can afford a soul taker?

if i dont want to respect with that much regret orb, can i just go directly with your level 87 build?!
(I dont plan on reahcing higher than 87)

dont you lose way too much passive from travelling across the tree?!

Also what defense do we have against spell? No dodge spell/spell block/ eva, only 75 max resist?

What jewels would you recommend for the passive tree ?

Attack Speed, Life, Resists

could you explain why yourespect completly from level 80 to 81?!?!

We pretty much run out of good nodes. If you make it to level 81, you should be quite wealthy. I just hit 70 already have another 30 chaos orbs sitting in my inventory atop the 64 I spent on my current gear @ lvl 64. Don't spent the orbs until you are sure you won't need to buy another of that same piece of gear for a while. The more you spend on the same piece of gear the more currency that goes to waste.

"

and is this respec a must?

No, but it enables 4 aura's and dual curses, together which are great multipliers. You can easily do high level maps staying on the right side of the tree your kill speed will just be slower.

(I dont plan on reaching higher than 87)

You could. That is for physical reave. You gain the bonus of soul taker for leap slam and no blood magic, but you only use the claw as your main and yes it would be physical crit. You also won't use Alpha's. Problem is that you must have a very exceptional weapon >300 dps. Your Aura's would prolly be arctic armor, hatred, herald of Ash

"

Also what defense do we have against spell? No dodge spell/spell block/ eva, only 75 max resist?

Phase Acrobatics = 30% chance to dodge spells, Enfeeble, Arctic Armor, Fortify, Large Life pool. We eat up spells. If need need greater max fire resist lets say for Azuri, you will swap an aura w/ a purity and use a Ruby Flask that replenishes on crit.

What? 30 chaos orb at level 70? Wtd?! Im level 63 and i just finished 4 linking all my gear, which is haft selffound and haft bought for 4-5chaos each piece, now i do not even have alts left, and it took me 9 days to do so

First of all thank you for the build, i try to achieve something similar :)

I played with the idea of staying at the right side of the tree. The build i come up with is the following one:

Cons:
Less life and some loss of elemental damage.

Pos:
Viable criticals and a bit more attack speed to proc it. Also 19% more effect of auras. Also moverment speed.

Another option i consider (more tanky, but less aura buffs, i think it can not run 4th aura):

I must admit that currently i am not playing a harcore league. Is my build viable at high end content?

Thank you in advance for your opinion.

Note: no point blank because i use frostblades and wild strike nowadays with phys to lightning and i enjoy it :) I am lv 42 at the moment

What? 30 chaos orb at level 70? Wtd?!

2 Koams primacy and saffels frame dropped. Sold all of them. I use a program called "Acquisition" to update my shop thread while I play, enabling me not to have to list items. WHen I find a good item it goes into my main tab. At the end of my session, I go on POE.trade and look up the cost of each of those items. I then list my items at a competitive price. Items are also cheaper on poe.trade than the trade chat. Hardcore items are also cheaper.

I attempted wild strike the damage just wasn't there for me. I would pass on the aura nodes and throw all those points into jewels. W/ wild strike I would just go crit or cast on crit. Physical nodes and physical leech is very uneffective. Just go crit and speed until you get a 6 link and can Cast on crit molten ball, arc, or some other op spell.

Try this w/ crit or CoC. Compare it to your tree I don't know how U do that but if U can find the right jewel you can fill the gaps easily. Those aura pumping nodes are shit don't even consider them I did testing and even w/ 4 offensive auras the elemental nodes come out on top.

A little confused by the gem setup. In the gear section you have a different gem setup, then in the gem setup section you list different gems, then in your advice section the gems are different.

You have listed a lot of combinations, and perhaps they are all good, but could you clarify? Thanks.

Thank you for your advice, i try that tree you recommended.

However i have a few questions regarding it.

1. What is your opinion about Aspect of the Panther instead of Berserking?
The trade off is 4% less attack speed for 4% movement speed, +10 maximum life and 16% psychical damage (wich is not really needed but still a bit of a bonus). Also i can grab these nodes earlier than Berserking.

2. Are 2 jewel slots better than Force of Nature (+34% increased elemental damage with weapons)?

3. Do you recommend Ice Bite support gem or Blood Rage to gain frenzy charges?

4. What is the priority during leveling, crit chance/multipliers, attack speed or elemental damage nodes to grab first?

Note: I use Frost Blades AND Wild Strike (both without any added Fork/Chain/LMP etc to avoid damage reduction) combined to clear packs and it works like charm. The different methods for AOE damage needs a bit of attention but also grants nice clearing speed if used well.

Kind regards,
D3cado

Hi, i like your build very much, but i don't like your main attackl& i want to try something new in 2.0. Can i use Wild Strike gem with same gem setup and build? What do you think about this gem? I even thinked about frost blades (with chain), but i think it's another build. So what about thoose gems (WS and FB) ?

Wildstrike is the closest. and nearly interchangeable with moltenstrike.

icecrash, and iceblades are not interchangeable.

Molten strike is of course fire, and the projectiles apply extra hits, for life/mana on hit.
And a RED gem.
The damage is also delayed. useful for packs you can't actually tank. you can pull them around corners into your delayed aoe.
R-R-R-R-G 5link. R-R-R-R-G-G 6link. Neither is easy in pure evasion gear.

Wildsrike alternates elemental. A GREEN gem. good for any fire resistant npcs. molten strike vs redblade warbands is kindof annoying for example. Especially if you run anger and not hatred.
Wildstrike is pretty fast, but still largely deals its damage instantly. so no real kiting like you can with molten strike. Also, its aoe damage is not regular. the fire is aoe, the lighting is chain. the ice is conal. so the Lightning can chain far, and is a projetile. the ice.. Im not sure if its a projectile. might be. The fire is NOT.
Point blank is not good for wildstrike. it does nothing for fire. may or may not for ice. and hurts the lighting chain. LMP/GMP also obviously not good. WS, MultiS, wpn elem, bloodmagic, faster attacks, then either meleestr, or added fire damage likely. or something else. elem proliferation, innervate, etc.
For wildstrike, Take the points, hes spent on point blank, and go up to elemental equilibrium.
5 points from the str node above Constitution.
G-G-R-R-R 5link. G-G-R-R-R- B/G/R (ever so slightly easier to get. not much.)


Icecrash I find locks you into place too much. This is a tanky build, but I'm not a fan of it. I think MS clearly outperforms. Iceblades totally different as well. point blank bad there too. a Shadow crit build works better for iceblades I think.

have you consider using static strike instead of molten strike
