Ranger - Frenzy or endurance charges - Forum

I honestly don't know what they do. I tried to search the forums for some guidance but i couldn't find a thread about it. Can someone explain to me what the charges are and what are the pros/cons of using points in them? Thanks	Posted by Bubabootie#0946 on Feb 22, 2013, 1:19:47 PM Quote this Post
I haven't come across Endurance Charges, but here is what the poewiki says: " http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Endurance_Charge Endurance charges are associated with strength and represent a temporary increase to the ability to endure pain during combat. They are visualized as glowing red orbs surrounding the character. Bonuses granted by endurance charges: +5% Physical Damage reduction per Charge +5% additional Elemental Resistances per Charge The physical damage reduction stacks with the damage reduction from Armour, so that they are both applied at the same time. For example, if a monster deals 100 damage, and you have 10% Damage Reduction from two endurance charges, and enough armour to prevent 30 of the 100 damage, the incoming damage would be reduced by 40. I use frenzy pretty frequently, as my "single target" attack as a ranger. It increases atk speed which directly affects DPS " http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Frenzy_Charge Frenzy charges are associated with dexterity and represent a temporary increase to swiftness and fervor during combat. They are visualized as glowing green orbs surrounding the character. Bonuses granted by frenzy charges: +5% increased Attack Speed per Charge +5% increased Cast Speed per Charge The pages list abilities that correlate to the specific charges as well, so read up! -Sair	Posted by SairAerwyn#1587 on Feb 22, 2013, 5:22:44 PM Quote this Post
Endurance gives you a flat 5% elemental and physical damage reduction regardless of how big the hit is, unlike armour which mitigates less the bigger the hit you receive. Playing a melee character with any less than 5 Endurance charges late game is asking for trouble. Frenzy on the other hand gives you 5% attack speed and 5% increased damage per charge. My melee ranger has 5 End charges while my bow ranger has 7 Frenzy charges.
