Assorted Mechanics questions
" You're right, it does not work with totems unfortunately. |

" If you're stubbornly refusing to ignore magic affixes (which is the entire point so good job my man), then yes, it's "hilarious". |

" I should probably stop assuming obvious things are obvious, it's one of my worst habits. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Round 8
1) What are the recommended defense values for a bow build (eva-life) moving into red maps. Im sitting at 5.5k, and getting 1-shotted by random auto attacks in yellow maps (the prospects do not look good moving foward.) And yes I know, going CI was probably the better idea in the first place. 2) Whats up with Vault boss behaviour? Sometimes it just sits there and lets you kill without animating any treasure piles, other times it leaps around constantly and summons adds very quickly. Also, what are the defenses needed to survive being hit by said boss? I have 7k life+es total + enfeeble and his auto attacks are often 1-shots, other times he seems to have no damage. And yes, I am accounting for map mods. 3) For a lightning build aiming to use freeze (specifically not a vaal sparker), what are pro's and cons of Call of the Bhood ring vs 3-Dragons Helm. 4) Lioneye's Vision Chest; what character build would use it? Specifically anything that doesn't require ridiculous off-coloured sockets. Last edited by lemonades#4979 on Jan 17, 2017, 9:16:29 AM

" 1) 50% chance to evade + acrobatics should be about where ya want to end up. Life total should be fine. Are you using a granite of iron skin? 3)Why are you trying to freeze? Kill them, lasts longer. 4)None, there's a reason they are cheap. |

" Nope, but will take the time to get one now. " Im making Vaal Skill-based build, hence being able to shatter mobs for extra souls is pretty mandatory. |

These questions are starting to be less mechanics and more evaluation of alternatives :p
Pros and Cons of CotB vs 3D are pretty much clearly displayed on the items themselves. CotB splits your damage output, making penetration tricky (unless you use 2, in which case you're sacrificing a bunch of good ring stats), while 3D prevents you from ever Shocking. If it were me, I would build for critical 3D, so that I can rely on just Lightning Penetration and also so that 100% of base damage contributes to Freeze duration, making it easier to Freeze tough monsters like Essence Rares Need game info?

" Would rather not create a new thread for every minor query I have lol. " That was what I was leaning towards too, thanks for the reply. |

" Use a lightning coil and either a taste of hate flask or a basalt flask, preferably both tbh. You should be fine running around with 5.5k life, 12k+ evasion, acro+phaseacro as long as you have a lightning coil on and keep up endurance charges + flasks when things are looking a bit physical. I wouldnt play an endgame life based evasion build without a coil, the new ones arnt as good as the legacy ones but theyre still in a league of their own for evasion acro builds. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
