Thanks for your reply.
Enough max life can block all of the stun attack, or can we selected Soul of the Brine King in Pantheon? Is it necessary? I just want to improved defense system...


For example, I use Kaom Roots for Uber Elder or other hards battles, and I use Inya's Ephiphany for normal mapping.

I threw my character into the PoB and, interestingly, it turns out that using Inquisitor instead of Elementalist I would get a lot bigger DPS. Has anyone verified this? :)

Yeah, it's so. Inquisitor have additional 30% crit multiplier, and pretty much 16% more damage multiplier (6% penetration and 10% increased damage taken by nearby) (not completely true, but i'm not gonna count those crumbs).

While elementalist have only 10% penetration, and slight flat lightning damage from increased herald effect. Oh, and i guess it have better shock effect. Individual hits from storm brand that have tons of relatively small hits, don't really know how big a shock ailment effect it can bring, so elementalist "maybe" have an edge here by "shock can't be less than 10% more damage".

But elementalist also have ele reflect immunity, and inquisitor drop tons of consecrated grounds on the boss, and immune to ailments when standing on it.

It's actually quite a choice. Generally, i think that inqusitor choice is stronger, but elementalist choice is more comfortable.

Thanks for the build I am levelling and enjoy this build!

I would like to ask how important is to make all three resists to lower than cap and make them to the same number? You always showing them with cursor in the videos and I saw that they are 53 all three resists.

If it is important how did you make them same. You just searching in trade to do the maths with them or is there an easier way? I have never used Oak flasks.

Thanks in advance!

IF you can make the same resis, you will have 10% reduced Damage taken of all Element, it's petty good on defense.
But you really need to do maths for it.

I have a few questions:

- Why isn't Brand Recall used?
- Helmet with 40% Storm Brand Damage or 8%
Storm Brand Pen?
- Other than the gear show on build is there
any other gear that will help? Xbox Market
is expensive.
- I am level 85 and without buff damage is 6k
and with buff + power charges its 24k. Only
missing the rich jewels, Gloves, and Shaper
ring.

You can put the brand from far away to make you play safe,
the brand will jump to the other enemy after it kills the currently one,
so brand recall is not good, it will make you slow down.

Helmet 12% pen.

you only need a shimmeron and warlord's mark ring,
then you can use everything you want.

You are right :)
How does the passive tree work?
I don't understand, I'm new to the game!
Is this tree correct?

So I have to do the labyrinth first and then the top tree? And accumulating the points until the labyrinth.

Thank you for your help and time!

Can I ask how you refund the early nodes.
Hi, pretty new and playing or leveling this build. I did get two mights of meek though so I'm going to use those so I was wondering how do we handle the lightening damage from shimmeron hitting us with crits power charges/ dgen. Sorry if I ask more later just trying to figure out as I go along. Thanks in advanced!

Side note I may get a loreweave, possibly try to get void battery.
But was curious on that.
