Best body armor for ice crash slayer? Need some advice
" as someone who owns a legacy kaoms and many lightning coils, I can tell you for sure a lightning coil is no noob trap. I wouldnt even wear a belly, ever, on any character. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

" Coil is easily better than Belly. I'd only consider Kaom's over Coil if your passive life increase is over 250%. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave. |

160% life atm - with better jewels and 2-3 more levels i can reach 190-200% max. So LC is my destiny? For Minotaur will be nice...

This game is discrete. Either stuff dies or it don't. The difference between these arguments is a matter of taste, and perhaps seconds off your boss kills. Not night and day. Certainly not worth arguing about.
You have a fine chest piece there. Don't buy into the need to change it. You likely just need to learn the fights you're having trouble with and the gear you have will be fine. Get lab enchants on your gloves and boots and if you have the stomach for it, try to get an icecrash helm enchant. Otherwise quit looking for gear to solve your problems. |

You could achieve the most from better jewels.
Little bit more crit chance to proc Onslaught and Elemental Overload consistently (amulet and diamond rings.) If those on crit effects are only supplemental for your gameplay, steel rings might fit better. I understand you need attack speed though Berserking nodes are kind of meh. I'd find attack speed on jewels and drop Sentinel for better resists on amulet and rings then grab Devotion nodes, fill the Scion life nodes or Ranger elemental nodes. Chest piece is probably the last thing to consider after the rest of gears and tree since you got good flask setup. Everything I do should be wrong so please correct me if I do it right <3

Well my stand remains with mirror worthy rare because the plus 45 resistance to all type frees up all your gear slots for other defensive items. Though I stretched the argument a bit out of the box on this one, only caring about the definition of 'best'. Then again, within a limit of 6ex I vote for LC.

" How are you going to reach 200% when a jewel gives 7% max? Your missing lots of life on your gear. None on your ring or amulet. That's 85 and 75 flat life right there. Upgrade boots for an additional 15. Get a leather belt, another 40. That will likely add another 650 to your pool. Add Belly and that turns into about 1k+. And not for nothing, but Kaom's Roots is the shining star in this build. 200 flat life, unwavering and the best the Juggernaught class has to offer. Get a corrupted one that has movement speed on it and you're laughing. Together with Belly, that will give you north of 1.5k life. You went stupid yolo dps. You must like dying. The guardians are going to eat you alive. Good luck doing those maps alched and corrupted, let alone clean. You'll get one shot by the bosses if not by trash mobs. I can't even see you doing maps like Poorjoys comfortably. If you were ranged, that's another thing, but you're melee. Slayer has such crazy leech that if you can stay alive for a second or two, you'll regen back to full HP. With a 5.5k life pool, that's never going to happen. If you ever learn this game and get good at it you'll realize you don't need 600k dps. But then most people are bad at this game. I mean I'm stunned how many think LC is good. Protip: elemental damage wrecks life based builds, not physical. You already have a taste of hate eating up some of the incoming physical damage. LC helps you none, all it will do is give you even less of a life pool to work with. I mean do you enjoy getting one shot by reflect because with your build and dps, you either have to avoid reflect altogether or you likely die. And before you wonder, I'm using the exact same build. Except I have 7.7k life, 2.4 AS, and 96k dps unbuffed with Frostbite doing additional work giving -44% cold resist. With conc effect, my dps hits 215k. Didn't path into elemental overload as you'll never keep it up without lots of shenanigans and you don't need it. I've cruised through red maps and don't have to worry about a butterfly's wing beat taking me down. Deliver pain exquisite

" Reflect is not a problem. i got 600k dps fully buffed so its rare situation. Yesterday i did tier15 with 102% extra dmg as cold and inc monster attack speed etc, without problems. Need to collect some chaos and buy t16 boss maps. Thnx for all suggestions. |

" I ran your build through POB and outside of EO and HOA, we have the same DPS. You edge me out at 197k while I sit at 195k and you have to run conc effect to achieve that. So you don't really have a boss set up. I boost my overall DPS to 300k with conc effect. That's as high as yours if you have EO procc'ed. And with 6% crit chance, that's likely never. Not enough to give you anything meaningful for those 6 nodes to get there. Compared to conc effect which is 100% uptime. And you have nothing in the way of defense. 4.6k life, 173 life regen, 4.8k armor. Yikes. Much yolo. Taking Sentinel is dumb. You should take Cloth and Chain instead if you need the resists. 15% all resist and 36% increased armor and evasion rather than 10% all resist and 24% increased armor and evasion. You lose 10 strength, no big deal. Same cost of 2 nodes. Also Ancestral Warchief > Ancestral Protector. Yeah man, your build needs serious work. Mapping must be a huge PITA. Like radius is everything and running HOA probably helps a great deal but you can't run Blasphemy, HOA and Hatred, so you're probably dropping Blasphemy which is actually a HUGE loss to dps and you're only getting back 15% with HOA. Losing 41% isn't worth. So you're actually generating far less damage than me. Without EO procc'ed, you're sitting at 164k actually. Less damage, less AoE, less life, less regen, less defenses. I dunno man Oh and your mana costs. 41 per ice crash :0 (Mine is 27) :0 Expensive! Deliver pain exquisite Last edited by ultratiem#0592 on Apr 4, 2017, 3:57:43 AM

" Let us all bend a knee and bow to our new lord and master of all things both Path and Exile. 6% crit chance with EO means 100% uptime btw after first proc, so slightly higher than your "likely never". You are wrong on so many things, and so many more are objective and can't be disproven with numbers, yet you talk to others like you're at the peak of Mount Everest. Tone it down a little, perhaps? Just because a build has less of this and that than yours does, doesn't automatically make it worse or even bad at all. This is PoE, not a stock market. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
