You really think thats worthy? About Unwavering Stance*, you dont need it with 5k+ HP, even less playing a ranged class. The only thing you need is to learn how to kite and use traps wisely :) Gotcha, i think i will pick it up for leveling since its so close anyway. Its only an extra 2 points i think to grab it along the way. Also @Athena i'm hearing a lot of talk about how Armor isn't useful anymore once you hit maps and that how evasion is superior. I under stand its because armor has a diminishing return on large hits. Is it still worth putting everything into armor?	Posted by Hyroero#7486 on Apr 4, 2013, 5:58:58 PM Quote this Post

Just to inform everyone adding me in game for questions, I don't really play path of exile anymore, I've logged in twice over the past week for a few minutes and logged out. I hate the loot system (FFA system sucks and by GGG removing names we are further forced into their model) Map system is broken (not gonna go into detail here) Ill continue to check here but as it stands right now you most likely won't be catching me in game :p	Posted by AthenaUS#7001 on Apr 5, 2013, 7:18:23 AM Quote this Post

i must admit everything was going pretty well with this build up until i got to the ship graveyard in act 1 of merciless and those flickerstrike guys just kill me soo fast i don't have much chance to do anything. there's my gear, and i'm following the passives to a 'T' minus i did pick up an extra savant b/c i'm really lacking in int. right now haven't been able to keep upgrading my wrath due to that. any advise would help... i'm guessing it comes down to the fact that i've played completley self-found and my gear isn't up to snuff??? any input would be really helpful.

Only 2 pieces of your gear has life on it, nothing else to be said :p remember life is just as important as resists and a priority over damage until your gear is good :)	Posted by AthenaUS#7001 on Apr 7, 2013, 1:04:45 AM Quote this Post

A little bit after the changes were made to the duelist passives i started messing around with duelist archer builds, and I just saw this post so i figure it'd be a alright to throw down what im currently working towards: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBBLMFLQx9Dq0QfxRNFHUVIBcdGS4ZtBo4HRQn7Si1KaUqTSzpMgkyfjKJNug6UjrhPC0_J0CgSn1N41XGVgRW-lfiWK9Z81-qYEtgiGFSY6dmnmegZ71s9m6qc-F0QXTtd-V4DXq4eu-C5IZgh3aI8YqvjX6PRpARkFWbLZuhn8uiAKZXpwinhKlurFmsqq6TtfK3Pre2uJO53b6nwA_AGsHYxPbGnsauytPNmM9l0NDSTdSP3Q3dRt7G37_nY-pi7Djub-8O707yL_JF8933iPqx-tL8TvzF_gr-jw== Currently level 44 in hardcore.
