How to reach level 94+?

My character is now over 700 days old. i tried very different builds. Actually i am a Storm-caller Lowlife Elementalist with 10.000 Energyshield... I do maps and skip most bosses then i got like 8-9% and randomly die out of nowhere.... my POE profile is public so you can check and maybe find the issue.

What is the trick to reach level 95 or even higher?

i tried:
-Flame golemancer (was shit in delve)
-Poet Pen Arc/Ball Lightning
-Frostbold+Vortex
-Whispering Ice
-Elemental Hit tripple Herald



i like to play an ES based Caster Build preferable on the Elementalist with 2 or 3 Heralds and Golems for Buffs. If you have a safer/better idea then stormcall let me know.

and again... jumping on to zana map portal which i found on map...



Why is this still ingame. they removed bloodmagic but not this...

Don't die.....

T11 and Delve (no damage mod) node is fine if you don't die

If you keep dying once a while you never level up

It is not that relevant to dps but survivability

Hi there,

having 10K ES is nice but I see very limited ES recovery and avoidance

I would consider getting nice shield with 5% ES on block and get decent chance to block which is very powerful combination

You can add ES leech (ES leech gem + Ghost reaver) or improve ES recharge (Wicked Ward + faster recovery rings and such) eventually too

It requires a bit rebuilding though.
Just any shield with Rumi´s* (if you can keep it active) + Glancing Blows will cap your block (+ ideally an extra spell block from The Blue Nightmare, passives etc)
* You can maybe even skip Glancing Blows with some legacy Rumis + good block shield

some extra tips:
You don´t need life flask --- get utility flask (maybe basalt to improve mitigation)
Get better rings with quality (catalysts) - with %ES / Intel / stats / res whatever needed

The best for leveling are rotas (pure chayula / beachhead etc) or any red map with easy layout (eventually easy boss too) or delve without too bad mods you can clear fast and safe.

Aside from the gear adjustments Rakiii recommended, my best advise is to play content you are familiar with. Most deaths come from things you didn't know about/aren't familiar with. Focus on running maps that you know inside out, their native monsters, the boss mechanics, the layout. Also be picky about map mods. Especially crit mods, increased Aoe + multi projectile, reduced recovery and all the damage mods.

I can also recommend delve at around 180 depth for leveling. It's level 83 monsters with very high density, very low monster diversity (it's always the same monster types that makes it easy to learn their attacks and know what to look out for) and only a few mods per area, most of which are harmless. However, since delve is not selfsustaining you will have to keep running maps to gather sulphite. I'd suggest making a second char so you have another build for mapping and can play delve only for leveling but i guess you're not the type for multiple chars.

i heard something about 5 way rota. but i have no idea whats that, even on poe.trade i cant find any map called 5 way or Rota.. and poe.trade only shows Chayula Breachstone no Pure Chayula Breachstone..

I seldom use the junk site poe.trade

For rota, you need someone as carry which you leech xp from it, also you still need to not dying. Some people did Beachhead rota instead.

But rota is a scam-fest, either you open the map in your hideout, or give the map to people that you trust but never a random guy

5-way should reffer to legion endgame (splinters)

Pure chayula is extremely expensive though

People play rotas (every member should have own stones) or people sell spots but
both methods might be risky with unkown persons involved.
Selling spots is probably faster (people can pay you before) but you need some time for trading / coordinating anyway.

The beachhead map should be still good for XP and a lot cheaper but I am not expert here (you can sell spots, do rotas,..)

You need to watch map modes more closely.
Prepare nice bulk of maps you want to play (reroll / sell unwanted mods) and then go (you can save lots of time/trouble this way).

or can we organise this kind of stuff over the forums. since i doubt scamers will use a public forum.
