I ask because I found a staff with 90% enhanced physical dmg for my melee in normal and thought it is a pretty good roll. No, you cannot. This whole game is designed so item hunting is more difficult then in D2 and takes more grinding. That and desync are mine two biggest problems with the game. | ||

Summonwitch with dual Lightning Warp totem. The passive Skilltree does not work at this PC so here is the general idea: 1: Get the Lightning DMG-Nodes from Witch starting Area and the +% Minion HP nodes between the Witch and Templar starting Areas including Minion Instability. 2: Get Dualtotems. 3: Get the Lightning DMG-Nodes from the Templar starting Area. Does anyone see a reason why this shouldn't work? Except that there won't be a Summon Skelleton totem which is unfortunate but well... | ||

Dont get me wrong I really like this game but I feel it's losing that "create w/e build you want and play" aspect of the game at least for now but like you said new skill gems coming and they're always balancing stuff so only time before they start making other gems just as good as the current over used ones. With that being said is LA really the only option rangers have atm ?? Are there any other bow skill gems that scale as good or close to it ?? | ||

If you get enough dps, Split arrow is a decent replacement. But you must understand how come LA is basically what everyone uses in the first place. LA the skill itself has a AOE component to it. Thats what makes it insanely powerful when you increase the number of projectiles with LMP & fork/chain. Each LA will splash damage to the enemies next to it, when you add in LMP & Fork/Chain extra projectiles...LA is very hard to beat for AOE damage. Hell i use LA for 2 & more creeps. It's that good due to how the damage stacks. Single target its a tossup between Frenzy & Elemental Hit mostly. All the other arrows pretty much suck too much. | ||

I have full stashes of rares with lvlreq 40+ and no idea what to do with them. Don't ID anything unless they're from maps lol. Then vendor 1 in every slot for a chaos. =p | ||

Step 1: Create a second Path of Exile account for dual boxing purpose. Step 2: Create a new character (shadow or witch) and rush trough mudflats and get the glyph quest done. Step 3: Use your level 15+ to rush to Brutus and town portal your other character. Step 4: Kill Brutus - Quest Reward: Clarity Step 5: Trade Clarity gem for 1 Chaos Orb. | ||

I'm having way more fun on my ranger than I ever had on my melee templar simply because splitting, bouncing arrows feel a lot better to use than any of the melee gems. | ||

If you had to craft an item with 3 colors linked sockets, it would require a few chromatic orbs to get it right considering you already start with 2 links. Therefore, those items are at least worth 1 chromatic considering how low the chances are to get that actual setup even if you didn't get that item trough crafting. The same logic applies for glass bubble (improving quality from flask). It takes at least 4 glass bubble to get it to 20% (from 0%). So when you trade multiple flasks that add up to 40% quality (it would be worth 8 bubbles) the vendor will give you 1 glass bubble. To get a 6socket items, it requires quite a few jeweling orbs (over 25 I believe). So when you sell such an item, the vendor values it as 7 jewelers orb. On the other hand, when the vendor sells you something, he only takes into account the magic properties of the items and not the quality or the sockets hence why you can buy and resell to the same vendor for quite a nice profit. | ||

Yes, it is also not right that an rare that can be sold to other players for 1+ exalted vendors buy for 1 augumentation orb :D Use what you can, don't complain about freebies | ||
