Barrage Wonder Wanderer – how to DEMOLISH maps (1.3.X)
|
well barrage even if it doesnt deal ltos of phys dmg still lend a hit and still give HP back!! (with LGoH) any one did the comparison between LGoH and vaal pact?( i think the main problem would be against single target? boss?)
i think the main problme as said before, is still elemental damage SHOP : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/682434 Last edited by xenochaos1 on Mar 27, 2014, 12:39:30 PM

I'm testing with Blood Dance and 4 frenzy charges (I'll try with 5). It kinda works, but it's hard for me to judge because all my gems are still low level (~15). But so far I like my health pots.

" So which armour would you think should be more suitable for higher maps? Also how do you cap lightning resistences with lightning coil? do you use diamond and crit rings?? wouldn't belly of the beast increase tankiness as well? 40% to life and all resist plus nice ar/ev " i thought about eldritch + artic armour .... but that is only if you take off one aura. if you run 4 auras like bars suggested you will never be able to run artic armour .... also there is really no point to run cloack + artic armour + eldritch battery because it just doesn't benefit you anyway ..... since you can just get lightning coil and use those points spent to increase and cap resistences (and end up probably more tanky than with AA). you also want to avoid MoM due to low mana pool we get after using auras + the fact that we don't invest a lot into mana nodes. the only good time to use AA is if we use it on an armour tht gives us a great boost to the build but lacks survivability. for instance voll's or a ev/es 6L armour (with life and resist and other good shit), but doesn't do enough damage deduction. | |
" Totally missed that :) I'll continue testing, the life regen from blood dance is nice for kiting around. |

VP does, however, still prevents HP regen, so it would be counter productive with Blood Dance :P

Ok, bear with my newbie-ness for a sec.
How will a 5L Eva body armor do until I can 6-Link a lightning coil? By "how will it do" I mean, will I be able to do piety-dom and 66-70 level maps? |

" I mean without VP, just LGoH |

" LgoH at level 20 will heal 44 life per hit, Barrage = 4 hits, so - 176 HP per barrage, assuming all hits are on target (one or two often miss at higher range). At level 20, EK will deal at least 3500 average damage per hit (with your criticals and bonuses from passives and gear). Life leech level 20 is 8,8%. So, it will leech about 308 life per EK hit. A crit with barrage usually procs ~3 EK spells. Of course, leech doesn't stack like that since patch 1.1., but still - the overall healing by life leech in endgame is just better. At your stage, it might still be about equal, I'm not sure... but still, this is easy to calculate and test. The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.
