Im pretty unsure what to do next. Thinking about getting int on my belt, or upgrading body armour for more int/ES. Any suggestions?

Sitting at 9,7k ES and 44k GMP with golem/aura.

Also current budget for buying new stuff is ~24 ex

I am in a pretty similiar situation. I need to get some more skillpoints for primeval force. Stats are more or less the same. Maybe you want to try to get a +1 to socketed gems shaper's touch and socket disc, wrath, enlighten (lvl4) and empower (lvl4).

Vaaled some Elemental Weakness on hit for my Shaper's today. But would that really work with the empower? Wouldnt the mana cost be too great?

As long as you have the enlighten lvl4 its alright. im just rocking a lvl 3 and i have to take the 4% reduced mana reserved on tree near CI.

Hi, i need help to upgrade my stuff. Actually i farm Shaped Strand and Shore with sextants and leaguestone but i want to do more damage and survivability!

When i search to change my stuff (Helmet, boots, rings, gloves) it' very expensive (1 mirror for the Helmet, between 40-100ex for the rest and for the rings it's hard because they give me my resistances)

Any help is welcome, if you have exemples for any upgrade too! I have +/- 160ex for the moment and more if my Reach of the Council (mostly perfect) and my Maligaro gloves find buyer

You're taking a resistance hit by using Headhunter, so you need to make that up somewhere - rings is as good a place as any. Headhunter is still totally worth it. I'd likely play around with dropping some damage nodes for resist nodes or swapping jewels in with resists - totally up to you, and you might end up net positive.

Remember to factor in your wise oak - that's an additional +35 to all, and at 20 lives for 6 seconds, you can basically have that up all the time except for bosses. Bosses that take more than 12 seconds to kill with this char usually spawn some adds for you to refill your flasks.

You should be able to pick up a helmet in the 350-400es range with +INT on it cheap(ish). You would lose the ST enchant, of course - even so, that will increase your survival rate at the expense of some clear speed.

Your second claw is weak on INT, replacing that should be relatively cheap.

For the second claw 11% is good? I loose 1% on damage against rare monsters and 1% on WED.

I try t15 yesterday and it's too hard actually! Resist elem is completly insane and dark forest too!

I think i go to craft a good helmet, i have one with ST enchant.

For rings i'm lost xD
Someone told me: Shaper's touch is useless but when i change it in Path Of Building i loose Hit Chance and dps (but i take +/- 300 Es) and more resist...

Hard to know what to do!

Hi there mate, thank you for your build .
So far I am loving it and having a blast playing it.


Can I ask you please, to take a loot at my profile and tell me what should I improve? (I do have rings with elem damage 33 and 31%, also 31% on belt and amulet aswell, but I am using gold build+hh for farming maps)
With GMC, golem and aura ( without totem ) I am getting 36k dps, with totem 43k .


Is this a decent ammount to do end content? Like guardians/shaper and so on ?


Thank you.

I'm trying to make my character so I can reliably farm Uber Izaro. Problem is his final form usually kills me in a couple hits.

Anyone have any tips for making this battle easier? Certain gear, flasks, strategies, etc.

Here is a link to my current setup.

11% should do just fine. After you've got all the rest of your gear and you have spare currency floating around, upgrading to a perfect one is a good min/max.

T15 should be no problem for you with some gear changes.

Ditch the Ventor's Gamble rings. In a ring, you need resists, +INT, and Elemental Damage with weapons, in that order. Normally I'd put the resists last, however, you need to make up for lost ground with the lack of resists on your belt. Try this filter on http://poe.trade/search/nooretohonyomg.

Stop listening to the guy that told you shaper's touch is useless. Something in that conversation is useless, and I'll give you a hint - it's not the gloves. ;)

You're doing damn fine. Your tooltip DPS should let you take on any content. Just a few small things I'd suggest.
- I'd buy a non-corrupt claw for your primary. You're missing a fair bit of life leech without the stock implicit.
- I'd drop the Rumi's for a wise oak, unless you're getting one-shot by porcupine packs and the like. I'd rather have the extra elemental mitigation than the extra armour, plus the wise oak is faster to fill and uses less charges, so more uptime, and more damage from the extra lightning pen.
- I'm running another Fertile Mind next to Vaal Pact instead of a rare jewel.
- Switch your Vinktar's to one with lightning pen instead of added lightning damage.

None of these are going to make a huge difference, but all together they should be noticeable, and best of all, none of them are going to be expensive.

Sure, there's a fair bit of room for improvement here.

- No INT on your helm, low INT on your rings. The helm is nice enough it's worth working around unless you have a lot of currency to throw around. It's worth shopping for better rings.
- Jewels. I'm using a third Fertile Mind next to Vaal pact. Given your rings / helm, I'd seriously suggest this for you. Your rare jewels could use an upgrade - at least three damage mods each.
- Hard Knocks on the tree. Take that extra INT. Drop a frenzy charge or Fangs of the Viper to get it.
- Flasks... you need a wise oak instead of Rumi's, unless you are still getting one-shot by packs or porcupines or other phys damage mobs, which, really, should not be happening any more. You should never really need a mana flask either, as long as you are careful on no-regen maps. (Screw no leech maps, vendor that crap.) I still keep one around for no regen maps just in case, but the other should be replaced, I'd suggest a silver flask for the extra damage output.

As for Izaro, it's purely a matter of pushing your DPS up high enough that you can leech your life back faster than he hits, as long as he can't one-shot you - or you avoid the hard hits. The Vinktar's should give you one Hail Mary, it will refill your ES damn near instantly when you hit it, as long as you have projectiles in the air that hit him.

It's often worthwhile to swap from GMP to slower projectiles / faster projectiles just for that battle. With your helm, I'd suggest SP. Dodge his first rush, then pound him down with your wise oak, silver, and atziri's running. Trigger your Vinktar's when you get past 40% shield left, and hit him some more. He should go down like a $10 hooker.
