What is wrong with my build/gear etc?
|
I recently bought new gear thats suppose to be better, but for some reason even white trash mobs one shots me, and I can not for the life of me figure out whats wrong.
yes, I am noob, this is my first toon that I gone this far. anyone that can peek at my gear and build and tell me what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Last bumped on May 27, 2022, 12:51:44 PM

The whole Build is crap dude ;D
You have shit ES (why you go ES with crap ES-Gear?) -> only 2.2k is far too low Your resistances are really bad, not any one is capped to 75% You have mostly Bad Items with too low EHP on it. What build should this be, a skeletton summoner? Go to look to a good Guide where you can get, how a build works (look to Ghazzy or so) |

With one quick glance, I see that you have a strong reliance on Uniques.
This is a common mistake amongst new players. Try looking at other players (of your build type) on PoE Ninja and see what they are using. ~ I play slowly.

yeah, I do think that it is blocking and resistance thats bad, and I been thinking about giving up some of the minion damage stuff for increasing defences
but what I don't understand is that so many builds and suggestions contradict eachother as far as gear goes, and it leaves my brain shortcircuited. one says to get 50% speed on boots, another says get something else, a third says increase energy shield and a fourth says go high in gem increase for minions and ramming that in to the mixer thats my brain and I try to do everything at once....its just not working and I am fond of saying understanding is the mother of learning and I am trying to understand where it is going wrong. should I go for resistance, energyshield, blocking and drop the minion damage etc? should I go for speed running or what boots should I use? these things twists my brain and I get confused and stand still cause I can't figure out a way forward. |

First: What build should this be, a normal Skeleton Build?
Second: Take a Good Build Guide, where u learn, what is recommended for this build and how to play it. It seems also, you are missing eclantand Basics on this Game. That results in Frustration and quit PoE, because the build sucks. Take a look to this Guide (KayGaming is one of the Experts of Skelli Mage) --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsTvn5MLKCY --> Written Guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 poe.Ninja --> https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds?time-machine=day-1&class=Necromancer&skill=Summon-Skeletons Take a look to Builds on Ninja (here are some build from Day 1 League, dont look at lvl100 builds as they have now all Expensive and incredible good Gear at this stage of the league) some other tipps: Spec out CI (Chaos Inoculation) and search for Items with Life, they are way cheaper. ATM you become descend Gear for some Chaos. Craft for beginning your own Minion weapon with a simple Screaming Essence of Fear, they are cheap. Dont go for Cluster Jewels at the beginning, they are Expensive and are mostly nessecary for Endgame Cap your Resist all to 75% , E.G. Chaos Resis (can be +1% or negative at beginning, on Leveling you can ignore Chaos Resis) Get Life for the Campain up to 3.500+ in Act 10 Dont use too many Uniques, look for goood rares with life, resistances, Stats 1 |

" thank you, clear cut ideas and clear path, I will read and make adjustments. |

Understanding is the mother of learning....
My oneshot problem got resolved with removing CI cause it turns out running around with 1hp when most things hits for a lot will kill you after the ES is done, I removed CI and will invest in resistance gear instead.... as can be seen now. |

" it's called "preferences". Everyone do things differently, some people are more glass cannon don't mind dying every 3 minutes, while other values defences hated dying. There also variety of different ways to get defences and dps. but whatever you do, a decent life/ES pool AND CAPPED RESISTS are absolute basic, these are not optional. 5k life for life build, 8k ES for ES build. 75% all resists including chaos. Chaos resist is not optional these days anymore. ES is sort of a noob trap, this isn't a game where you can roll with ES from the start. You actually need to build specifically into ES later lv70-ish when it is actually possible to acquire decent ES rolled gears. If you cannot acquire good ES gear, stay with Life. Sort out this basic first, before you go into pumping DPS. Unique =/= legendary. This is one thing you need to understand first. Unique isn't always good. Rare item with high Life & resists rolls are more important. Aside from the life/es & resist basic, you also need: - get all ailment immunities if possible : burn free shock bleed & corrupted blood, all these debuff are dangerous. - get some armor, use Determination aura : to get physical damage reduction Focus your setup to ONE DPS SKILL, this isn't MMO where you play a billion dps skill. Jack of all trade = WEAK. Free sockets available should be used to either give yourself more defence, or pump your DPS skill dps. You not doing it right if there are spare sockets. - defences : CWDT, Flesh & Stone, SteelSkin, Molten Shell, etc - offences : Bone/Flesh OFfering for minion, aura that benefit your dps skill, if you got extra mana to spare, reserve them for defensive or offensive aura, don't waste them Last edited by xonedl#1873 on May 26, 2022, 11:32:16 PM

" Yes, I did, I got defence and started building more life and resistance, I will continue to do so as I go along, I learned that pumping everything into minion power was not the way to go, so now I am slowly but surely transfering over to defences and aiming to get to resistance cap and more life. |

Max resistance (and some...(except chaos)) achieved....
now do I go for life? |
