[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam
" That is so painful! I have never ran into a pack like. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely split them up if I ever run into them. Curious, I see that you are running Hatred. Are you using a rare amulet and running Enfeeble curse? _____________________________________________________________________________ " There used to be an EO section (you can look at post #2) but I have since retired it because of the cost of gearing and stat requirements are just too high. The benefit from it doesn't really make it worthwhile. :( _____________________________________________________________________________ " A 6L will definitely boost your damage greatly. Opal rings too. And you are missing 2 jewel sockets in the tree. You are losing damage and toughness there. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Gloves need strength version for more armor. You don't need 2 x life flasks. Replace 1 with a ruby flask for that spiky elemental reflect moment. Go for Avatar of Fire skill tree. That will raise your damage significantly till you can afford Xoph's Blood. You can replace Carnage heart with a rare amulet. I see that you are using Warlord's Reach unique jewel, a rare jewel with life % + physical damage % will be better. _____________________________________________________________________________ " You can try 6L yourself. Get a 5L and use it. Get anotehr that has 6 socket and you try 6L using that. However, bear in mind that 6L involve lots of luck. Some people get it within 300. Some spent 3000 and they still don't get it. Trading directly for a 6L is generally safer. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Both skill trees have killed shaper so either is fine. Personally I prefer more damage but 6000 life is the lowest I will go. :) _____________________________________________________________________________ " Rings, gloves, boots and jewels. You get int from there. _____________________________________________________________________________ " HC have more focus on life pool. Running AoF gives you more damage but it is really a tough call over there. I believe @Bymen will probably choose toughness over AoF. _____________________________________________________________________________ " You can drop Executioner from your skill tree. I see that you did not pick up Point Blank. Take that as it will boost your Molten Burst damage by 50%, which is huge. You can also pick up Iron Reflexes for more armor. You are not using the correct flask setup for the build. Check out the flask section. I believe those sudden deaths are likely from Elemental Reflect. You have to pop ruby flask before you engage them. Granite and Basalt flasks will allow you to handle incoming physical damage. Flask management is very important in POE. And like @Rebur said, your resistances don't seem to be capped. You will need them to be cap or you will die to elemental attacks in a flash (especially when you run into elemental reflect). I would replace the gloves and belt for rare version till you can use those crafted ones you got. You should have at least 4500 life when you are at level 75. You don't need Blood Magic on your chest, switch it to Melee Physical Damage and you will see damage gain. You are also not using Fortify gem in your chest. You will be taking a lot of damage without it. Having fortify linked with Cyclone is a lot safer than linking it to Leap Slam. Check the gems section on what gem setup to use. Follow the guide and you will do fine. :) _____________________________________________________________________________ " You can certainly go for Iron Reflexes but without it is fine if your armor is at 3000. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Opal rings will be your next upgrade. :) And good catch by @Kitaen on your gems in the axe setup. What he says. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Yes they do. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Never tried it but seems viable. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Consider running Enfeeble when you are focusing on leveling. It helps greatly by raising your effective life pool by at least 30%. | |

Thanks much for the info!
I stripped a lot of my DPS nodes in favor of more survivability, I took Iron Reflexes, and I'm working toward Point Blank. I'll see about putting Fortify into the chest once I actually 6L and color it properly. I hit 73 and was able to equip my gloves, so my resistances are 76/75/62, and lightning will be capped in 4 levels when I equip the belt. Since I made the changes, I've been able to run up to T5 maps so far without a single death! I'm not too worried about overcapping my resistances at the moment. I don't run anything beyond white maps, or rares if only I mod them perfectly, because I'm only interested in leveling at the moment and don't care about item drops. I would much rather run through a map that gives less experience and loot but I can survive rather than one that gives more exp and loot and requires me to eat dirt. Don't really care how long it takes, I just really enjoy playing this char! Does anyone know what the bare minimum INT requirements are for this build? |

" For all gems to get to Level 20 you need 111 INT, 155 STR and 155 DEX. | |
|
is there any tips for someone new to exile and this build? At least leveling wise, im not exactly sure what to go for atm, im having to restart my duelist as is cause I screwed up the tree ( went down physical damage nodes instead of attack speed nodes first haha).
Also is the 2 passives that much better then the physical damage bandit? Sorry Games kinda overwhelming for me just starting out lol. |
|
" If your level is over 30, you can just stick to leveling this character. Just spec into the other side to link up the tree and refund those mis-placed nodes at a later time. For leveling, you can check out leveling to 55 section. There are some useful tips there. :) And yes, 2 passives better. | |
" In almost every situation, I ALWAYS go for the Bandit passives (even pre-3.0) because it gets you further into the tree sooner. Once you're satisfied with your build, you can drop a couple points and take another bandit option. As for leveling, I think a few people have already made recommendations. There are several good skills to use, like Cleave or Molten Strike. Considering this build is primarily fire damage, Molten Strike would probably be your best bet. Get a 2h weapon as soon as you can and just start mowing down mobs. You get Cyclone at 28 and it just gets easier from there. I personally recommend attaching Cyclone to Blood Magic for leveling. This build doesn't give us a very large Mana pool, but it DOES give us insane Life Leech. You won't even notice the life spent on Cyclone. Once you get enough Mana Leech or regen, you can drop the Blood Magic and add even more damage to Cyclone. Far as gear goes, read the first post. Just look for the stats it recommends. You can complete Acts 1-9 just with self-found gear without even crafting anything. Act 10's end boss might cause issues, but at that point you should be well into the better gear. |

Alright thank you! That was very helpful, I figured i Could just keep going but i was only level 15 so its easy to roll back through act 1 again. Id rather have my re-spec points in case something new pops up an ahh makes alot of sense on the bandits, I missed the levleing to 55 section.
Thanks for the tips! :). A buddy mine is gonna start playing to as a dark pact marauder so i guess it works? lol. Awesome I will have to get started then this build looks like lots of fun. I guess I had just been confused on which tree to focus on, the one with avatar of fire is good or the primeval one till I get the required UNiques/legendary items? thats probably my main question Last edited by ColdMiller on Aug 19, 2017, 2:03:39 AM

" Thanks for the quick reply! So I swapped Flammability for Enfeeble, and I am having much smoother runs. (that sounds bad lol.) I think you guys fixed me! I'll continue pushing my way forward and up and see how far I can go. As for Flask juggling, I have mental trauma issues caused by my time in Iraq. I don't have the dexterous movement or rapid thought processes to make constant fast reactions like I once had, and it is extraordinarily complicated for me to be able to do that. That's the reason I try to go with builds that require as little input as possible (also the reason I quit WoW). I start to get frustrated and stressed out when my fingers don't do what I want them to, and the whole point of playing vidya games for me is to destress. Less stress = fewer flashbacks and lower blood pressure = smaller chance of a heart attack! :-) So I look for something where I can basically just hold down mouse buttons, because I can still do that well. Or something where I only have to hit two potions in rare situations, like healing or clearing bleeds/curses. Usually on the same potions. I'm sure I'll lose a lot of DPS, but I don't expect to ever clear Shaper or anything lol. |

kira1414, thank you for taking time to respond to pretty much every comment here. Of course, it seems i once again have another question ;s I've collected enough to buy Dying sun flask and i wanna buy properly rolled one, should i go for reduced charges roll or increased area of effect. Thanks in advance

" Sorry to hear about that. For flask, there are 3 flasks that I always hit before engaging a pack. Namely: Quick Silver + Granite + Ruby. With those 3 flasks up, you can generally tank through without much issue. Hope that helps. You might also want to write in to GGG support and ask if it is okay for you to bind certain keys to a macro mouse given your condition. I believe GGG will be more than happy to assist you. _____________________________________________________________________________ " You will go for reduced charges. -10% reduced is the best possible roll. :) |
