I dont know if I have better than average gear or something but it was a lot easier than I expected. Brutus got like 1 cast off before dieing and merveil hit like a wimp. My Frenzy does 3k dps, is that a lot at this stage? what level are you? and what are you skill setups? (like what skills do you use with what links?) also can you post your build? My LA ranger doesn't do anywhere near 3k dps and I'm lv54 in act 3 cruel. I have basically taking every life node or defensive option in my tree so far and all my gear is resist/hp (for the most part) but god damn. I couldn't imagine doing 3k dps by act1 merciless.
I dunno about this either. 3k dps act 1 merciless? Unless you have full uniques at 20% I'm just not seeing how that's even remotely possible. Even at level 50.

As a 78 cold/bear trap crit caster, I'll just save you some effort and point out that this amulet is complete shit and nobody even near the end game would ever want to wear it for any reason
crit multiplier, resists, health, cast speed, movement speed
all of those rolls on your ammy are essentially useless and are inferior to the affixes mentioned above
I should probably clarify a bit further. You will get spell damage and crit chance from your wands, shields, or daggers and they will have much higher rolls than what the ammy can provide, so the ammy slot will typically be used for survivability or crit multiplier (which is always nice to have on anything, as it affects dps much more than crit chance does)

perhaps MS is unique specific to the karui ward I am wearing. But MS is the least valuable out of those affixes anyways
I just checked aimlessgun's amulet to make sure i'm not spouting bullshit and his current ammy is using crit multiplier, health, and mana regen as it's main affixes. it also has 6% cold damage but that is negligible
rofl, now I am searching around trying to find exactly what can roll on a rare amulet and what cannot and I can't find the information anywhere
last edit: AHA! HERE is what I was looking for. Might help some of you guys too. Thanks rax

If anyone wants to farm some docks in Merc HC, feel free to add me (IGN: Quane). Getting a bit bored of solo farming, and my dps sucks right now (a few skill points away from Static blows).

Hi I am lvl 68 cold crit witch with CI in softcore, is there a reason I should be using bear trap? I only use spell totem (GMP+IceSpear+Faster Casting), my freezing pulse linked with Cold Penetration+Item Rarity+Item Quantity+LMP and Reduced mana linked with Frostbite+Clarity+Discipline
Any advice is welcome as I still consider myself a big noob. I haven't done any maps yet so I dont really know what to expect in endgame play

Not really. A lot of people use bear trap early on to level because of it's high single target dps. But at later levels it's not worthwhile unless you've dumped some stuff into physical damage.

Man .. hardcore is rough.. de-sync on vaal in normal of all places while leveling a new shadow... lose 10% Ek 3 uniques, most of my hp twink gear ..... cost alot :| Still pretty suprised the ground slam ability of hers 1 shots thro 620hp even in normal.. i mean your supposed to dodge it sure, but not much you can do about desync.

I just updated with my previous post with defensive stats which are quite abysmal yes, im sitting at 2500 hp now thou and waiting on some resist gear auctions in trade forums to finish up. I am softcore but I did not feel threatened at any point in a1 with those stats except the flickering strike which was easy enough to draw out.

Can anyone update me on current prices?
1 Exalt = 5 GCP
1 Divine = 3 GCP? (or 2.5?)
1 GCP = 3 chaos
1 chaos = 2 alchemy / 1 regret
1 alchemy = 1 fusing / 4 jewellers / 8 alterations / 8 chromatics
I have NO clue what chances are worth.

pretty much what I use. I value Divine at 3 GCP because Divines are more useful right now imo than Exalteds which primary usefulness currently is as high value currency.
value at 1 Regret = 1 Alchemy which is under market value for Regrets, but it's also because I don't want people to trade me Regrets

That is extremely outdated for the changing currency in the forums and in game and should be used roughly.
I used to use that like 1.5 weeks ago, but eversince i started buying and paying attention to trade chat, its bad. You will NOT find someone trading 6 GCP's for an exalt anymore. People are driving the prices down and its really really rare you'll find a trade like that what it says in poeex.info

With fire resist and armor you can reduce the damage quite a bit.
620 isn't too bad if you're ranged... but if you're ranged you shouldn't ever really be hit by that, so...

Is soloing maps always a bad idea? Or do people just group up cause they're too hard to do solo? I'd rather solo them even if it takes longer.
