How's the AI doing? When the Saviour got released in 3.9, a lot of people reported bugs with the AI when using Blade Flurry. They would channel in place doing basically nothing.

From my brief experience with Saviour, I can say that :
- when there are no more enemies in range, sometimes they will continue to channel in thin air
- in the middle of packs, I can't say for sure, since it's such a mess usually, but I'm pretty sure they do damage.
- against bosses, they do attack normally, and if you die, they continue to do so until they disappear

All in all, it seems there are no major issues with them, but I'll double check during my next maps.

where is the skill tree??

Ive found one on "leveling" But then i you post a link in the comments and it was totally diffrent from the one i followed

If you want, you can set your characters to public. I can check it and give you specific advise.

I'm currently working to update the "Uber PoB" from 3.8, with different trees and sets of equipment for levels 28 to 95.
Here is a beta version, where all the trees are updated for 3.11 :

But do not pay attention to the items sets, as they are not consistent yet.

In my continuous attempt to sort all the mess of infos in the first post, I have reworked the PoB links as such :

PoB links
Basic version
The Uber-PoB
Several stages of the tree and sets of items from levels 17 to 95.

Variants
- One complete cluster
- Two complete clusters. Full DPS. I beat Aul 560 / 100% AoE with this setup.
- Mind over Matter, two clusters. More defensive. Won my first Simulacrum and made a T16 100% Delirious map with this setup.

SSF Harvest, dual claw :
- Level 90 : https://pastebin.com/zavzPxVn
- Level 73, beginning Atlas : https://pastebin.com/8WRf3ZFX
- Level 17, act 2 : https://pastebin.com/TNGfDE3y

I guess it's clearer this way.

I have several things in preparation for this summer or early september, including :
- delving at depths 650+ (last stop was 625)
- the Shaper with the Scion
- the Sirus fight with the Traitor keystone

Gl & hf :)

Sirus A8 with the Traitor keystone

This fight has several mandatory requirements.

* Several of his attacks deal chaos dmg : the black storms, the meteors of his projection and of course, his infamous Die beam.
All infos on PoEdb.

> We need low positive chaos res, like 5-10%.
+ Soul of Arakaali pantheon : +25% chaos res against DoT.

* In the last phase, his quadri-laser beam inflicts a debuff that hinders and makes you take increased dmg.

> We replace Whirling Blades with Dash + Second Wind.

* The Die beam does every kinds of dmg. It can (and actually it will) freeze, shock, ignite and bleed you.
> we need a jewel with "corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" as corrupted implicit.
I have an expensive one with 7% life that I keep all the time, but for this fight, any jewel with this implicit will be worth it. Even a jewel whose other stats are useless.


* The last phase can be very long, this is where the new Traitor keystone comes in handy.



Note that it has no downside, which is quite remarkable for a Keystone !
The charges are spread across all flasks. So it becomes useless with more than two flasks. Gotta choose them well !

I have chosen : life anti-freeze + amethyst anti-shock

You will gain 12 charges every 5sec, so that's good. And believe me, I'm bad at the flask piano, as I tend to spam them. (Because if you take three sips, surely it will have triple effects, right ?...)

With all this stuff, I was able to do a proper Sirus A8 fight, as you can see in this new video, where I pay a humble tribute to the late, great Ennio Morricone :

#7 : Once Upon A Time in Wraeclast

Hope you like it :)

So... These are the news, I couldn't beat Sirus (first attempt), I left him with 25% before I die. I panicked, those storms were so annoying >:c I followed your suggestions in the previous reply, only didn't use The Traitor Keystone. Currently, I'm trying to level up to 97(if I achieve this, I'll have Onslaught on kill thanks to the influence of Brutal Restraint, over Lethal Assault), running only T14/15/16 20% maps. I know my limits, I can't do phys reflect maps, no regen too (well, I can, but it's so frustrating). Withering Steps helps a lot with those Syndicate Quests. I feel my totem stronger than before, with Fortify on it. Ice Golem stays on my CWDT setup. Thanks agan for this guide.

Hey, great for you !
Since you are already level 96, you've had more patience than me, I'm only 95.
I'm thinking about a full defensive tree for levelling. 1.5M DPS should be enough for safe farming.

Updates

- Added again a link to the three types of players in Magic: The Gathering, to underline that this build is very Johnny.

- Improved the Gems section : now divided between Core links and Optional links.

- Removed the Jewels and Flasks sections and merged them into Gearing

- Updated some pieces of infos here and there

A follower asked me a video of farming in a T16 map.
Not gonna lie to you, clearspeed has always been the weak point of this build.
But this is not the first time that I'm asked this, and rightly so, as I seldom feature farming sessions in my videos.

Older ones include :
- my "best map ever", which was chock-full of league contents. The map took me 30mn to complete, and maybe 20 hours to edit... so I guess it qualifies as "grinding" ;)

- the Revenge of the Invisible Killer, where I'm using BF like a machine-gun :D

But mobs life has been buffed since, so here is a new farming video, in T16 Burial Chambers. No fancy editing and effects, this time this is just the grind :

#8 : Excursion

Hope you like it :)

Hi Exiles,

Here is a new video, which is a sequel to the last episode in Delirium league : you may remember that Kosis then beat me in a T16 100% Promenade.
This time, to take my revenge, I'm going into a T17 100% Delirious Chateau.
Sometimes, you fail and your character dies, but...

#9 : The Spirit Lives On

Hope you like it :)

Today, they've made a post where they allow us to share our memories of the game.
Here is my contribution ;)

*

I began PoE in late 2013. My only experience with ARPG at this point was some hours in Diablo 2 circa 2010.
Basically, I knew nothing about the genre. What attracted me to PoE was the dark and gothic ambient.

My first "build" was a Shadow with Dual Strike and Fire traps [NB : it was already the character that would evolve into the Nightblade Assassin !]
I was like :
- Die in flames, skeletons, mwahaha !
Talking about skeletons, I was so bad at the game I barely avoided any projectile (attacks or spells) from the skeletons in Chambers of Sins. (At this time, there was still only 3 acts).

Also, I didn't know about resistances. And who cares about +life on the stuff ? That's for schmucks. Armour ? Don't know how it works, lul.
(Today, if I do not have +70 life on each and every piece of stuff, I get sick. Of course, all my elem res are capped from act6 onward. But I still don't get how armour works !)

No wonder I'd die all the time when reaching the Merciless mod. I don't remember how I could beat Dominus.
But I do remember how I was afraid of the spectral dogs that vomit flames in the Docks, or the Porcupine unique in the Imperial Gardens.

First time I'm engaging in trade, I was so excited too : I'm gonna buy from a real player, for real ! "My heart RRRaces, I... am... alive" ;) :D Can't remember what item it was, though.

First time I reached a red map in the Atlas, I was so afraid. (It was Primordial Pool, I think) : I am so going to die, monsters are way too strong for me !

First time I fought the Minotaur, in a white T16, I could barely remove 10% of his life in the 3 remaining portals I had.
That's when I seriously began to learn the rules of the game, and invest in actual, efficient stuff.
I had no idea an ARPG could have so many rules and so many detailed mechanics.

First time i fought the Shaper still is my best memory of the game. I'm here, killing the second creature of the void and passing through the purple portal.
"These memories are mine, I cannot lose them".
And at this moment, I know it's over for him. I have 3 portals left, my DPS is good, I know all his attacks by now, no way he can beat me.
So I rush on him, and do all the DPS I can, and boom, culling strike !
It's midnight, and I'm the king of the world :)

On my first Uber Elder, I feel confident but I get properly recked, all 6 portals in a matter of seconds. My second set of frags is burnt within 5mn and I couldn't remove 25% of Shaper life.
It will take me about 10 tries before i can finish the fight, on the last portal.

And to this day, after 7 years, I still haven't found my first Mirror, not even a shard. RNGesus, plz !
