how far do you level the gems that have a high INT requirement such as Increased Crit, Curse on Hit, etc?

Get one passive point for +30 intelligence and get Intelligence on Amulet or rings.

For example, I bought this amulet for 5c.. it has crit multi some life and 1 resist and lots of intelligence. You want to level them to 20 too ideally.

thx, good to know that I should be aiming to max them out.

in general a big thank you to all the people replying here to questions, for a newbie like me (first play through) all the small details are super helpful!!

also; is there someone who feels he has a pretty sweet gear set going for this build and can link his profile for inspiration?

just finished the story, is it worth buying 20% quality Vaal Reave for 5c or better buy a lower quality and spend the 5c on gear and later on buy a >20 quality gem?

Hi, I'm really starting to struggle as I start t6/7 maps. Damage is okay but starting to fall off against bosses and the sustain just isn't there. I could use some advice.

VP still feels very fragile (maybe a little more life and build experience and I'll be okay...). The helmet is the next thing to upgrade, but apart from life, int and some cold res I'm not really sure what else to look for.

I have about 100c to spare that I can throw at some more gear, are there any obvious weak points? If I'm now at the point of waiting for big spends, what should I be looking for next? Also, are there any significant issues in my passive tree?

I'd suggest you to change your rings to some others with decent life and resists. Rest of your armour pieces are decent i guess. Buy Atziri's promise and Rumi's concoction flasks ASAP.. Huge damage boost and defensive bonuses respectively. Respec out of some of the 6 Health nodes near "Constitution" and get Golem's blood and Druidic Rite and some jewel slots.. That's just too much life nodes you've taken there. Also respec out of that single life leech node. You could really use some jewels for boosting damage.. Try to get a Stygian Vise, Tombfist and Starkonja's head while maxing resistances on other armour pieces and the jewel sockets in tree. Try getting Life and mods like these on the jewels.

Example :

See the socketed jewels ^^

Also you might wanna change your statstick. Search poe.trade for Two element combination statsticks. I personally search for Fire + Lightning, Fire + Random element, Fire + Cold, Lightning + Random element. Decent ones can be found for 50c - 1 exalt price range.

Hello,
I've read most of this thread and the guide but i need some help.
I used Charged dash+life leech gem with Bronn's Lithe to get to maps fast (using the pasives presented here) and it seemed to work but i didn't feel i did a lot of damage.
I tried reverting to Reave or double strike and suddenly i get killed instantly by almost anything.
I feel i'm doing something wrong but i can't figure out what (could be my resistances since i just dropped an Aurumvorax to use a stat stick for damage).
My gear is as follows
.

Any advice is apreciated.
Thank you.

How's my gear looking so far?

Thanks very much, the flasks and the rings have helped a bunch and I've tweaked the tree. I'll look into the abyss armour/jewels when I've got a little more cash. I'm at least making it through the early yellows much easier now!

I was wondering why the level 20 cwdt, seems a little high for being a defensive ability. I understand perfectly not having a level 1, was just thinking it would be better at a mid level like 10 where it doesn't require you to almost get one shot before activating.

Can someone please help me find out what I should upgrade next???

Thanks in advance!!

(For now 40c available).

The build is fun so far, however, it's definitely not as tanky as maybe advertised...so far. I've died 100 times so far, but that's mainly due to me not having played in a year and not being too careful because its softcore. You definitely NEED TO USE YOUR VAAL REAVE RANGE as efficiently as you can. You shouldn't be in the middle of mobs tanking everything. However, with Tier 1 gear this wont be a problem. Been adding quant gear slowly and now i'm pretty much full MF -- Once I get 1 more jewel i can have my resistances capped and can scour my helmet so i can get 100% more rarity find with a normal item equipped. The Pariah with a white socket doesn't seem worth the 5% extra quant since its 4 exalt. You can get a SOLID ventor's gamble that will have life/res w/ 10% quant. Going to MF for a long time and get my wealth up and then switch over to do some end game stuff!!



Also, I see a lot of people linking STAT STICKS with 1 shaper mod. You can easily find a 1 mod thats 39-40% physical gained as another element for 1-5c. Buying one at 39-40% for that price is way better than 2 mods @ 45% total for something like 50 chaos (or more). Use that money to upgrade something else like a nice 6L body armour with life and low resistances!!!
