Ice Nova has its moments, but FP is a better CC, AoE and Single Target. And it costs less mana. | ||

I tried both DW and 2h, and get to ~400k with both, but I don't see how to get to 500k+ besides getting really lucky (quicksilver, MS boots, good weapon). My run is basically: Run to Hillock. Run to Mud Flats. Grab glyphs, level ~2.5. Run to waypoint, grab fire trap and possibly coral ring. Hit ledge at level 4, equip -4% movespeed chest, kill stuff on the way, hit 7. Kill stuff on 1st floor for level 8.5. Kill stuff on 2nd floor for level 9. Kill Brutus. This is ~25 mins. Grab Leap Slam if 2h, Hatred if DW. (Not sure about this. Leap Slam allows to skip some areas and deal with desyncs, but Hatred does kill faster). Hit level 10 so you can leap slam to avoid the big fire dog. Run until Cove. Hit 11 in Cove. Cavern of Wrath. Waypoint, grab sapphire ring + added fire damage (cleave). Hit 12. Cavern of Anger, Hit 13. Kill Merveil. 45 mins ideally, usually 50 if something went wrong. Hit 15 on the way to Western Forest. Farm the hell out of it, or farm crossing. I'm not sure about this last part either. I end up about ~400k either way, and Dark Forest can ruin your run if you get unlucky with the exit. I've never seen a quicksilver flask in ~5 runs, and only twice got MS boots. So far I've been lucky and always had at least one portal and one medium life flask before Brutus. Not many people make it to 400k. The top players always get lucky with drops; that is just how the race works. | ||

We don't really know what full release will be like; presumably it'll be when they have a few more acts + all of the desync issues solved. The storyline isn't complete yet in the beta. If you're counting on desyncs being "solved“ I wouldn't hold my breath. You can improve your netcode as much as you like, but as long as you're dealing with a client server system where there is guaranteed to be some latency between the two you have to accept one of two issues. Either you allow client side prediction and sometimes rubber band, or you force a full client server trip for every command, and you experience input lag, choose your poison. | ||

Its really hard to decide whether 20% IIR/15% IIQ is better than 35% IIR on a gear If you're soloing you want about 75% IIQ to farm. If you're in a full party you get free IIQ so it's pointless, just stack IIR and make sure you get all the kills. | ||

Because it dropped with + % quality, which means it wasn't an investemnt of 15 gcp for seller, meaning he can sell it for 3 gcp and still make a 3 gcp profit. Glad to see a lot of people here playing PoE, I've been spending all my time on PoE forums, I only visit TL for results now. Anyway, I had a lvl 63 HC summoner witch, died to a unsafe portal and disconnect. Rerolling now, at lvl 30. I also have a 2H Mara, lvl 50 HC, a lot of fun. For me this game is if not better than D2, then certainly with more potential. | ||

I'm currently stagnating to the point that I'm starting twinks because the killspeed (45 summoner templar cruel act 2) has gotten so slow- minions just don't scale with gear at all. Does this change at higher levels? I'm ~5 points away from turning my ES into mana so I can afford mass auras, that might help a little (I have been running anger/wrath so far). | ||

Do you have minion instability? That should be about the point where your kill speed becomes bearable. In terms of gear, you should be looking for a 4L or 5L now. Gear itself is rather insignificant until your gems are level 15. Before this point almost all your damage comes from gem levels. | ||

Absolutely love it. lvl 17 split arrow with chain + life on hit = godmode Hmm okay I will take a look at split arrow as well. My only concern is that since its more phy based and I'm building for a high crit bow that I might get 1shotted from reflect mobs ?? or if I run hatred will it convert enough phy to ele to not reflect as much ?? | ||

Hatred doesn't convert. It adds cold damage. If you get the point where you're one shotting yourself on reflect mobs then you can pick up vaal pact. With LoH you might hit enough targets to not worry about it though. I don't think Split Arrow hits as many times as lightning arrow, but Lightning Arrow is major overkill on hits ^_^ | ||

I might go this route instead of LA.. I really want to get high crit and freeze shit while maintaining good dps. I thought for a while going phy/crit and trying to convert the phy to ele or add ele so a huge majority of my dmg isnt just phy and I wont get hit as hard from reflect.. but as you said vaalpact and LoH would sort of cancel out a lot of that so.. hm.. so lost haha.. Im currently holding out on passives until I can settle.. okay new idea... EleHit,Wed,eleProflieration,Lmp,chain I like the idea with this with high crit but I would still need a LoH or LL right ? or would a majority of my hit be ele based so I would worry too much about that? Edit: got elehit | ||

You could also use a reduced mana+fast cast, get the same dmgboost with less +manacost | ||
