how much EHP do you gain going from 75% all resist to 80% (with the talent)? I've been debating this skill node but I'm not sure it's worth it. | ||

1/.25 = 400% => 1/.2 = 500% ehp so around 25% more ehp versus elemental damage assuming you cap your resistance | ||

Also is EK heavily item dependent? If it's not too reliant on gear I'd like to take a stab at my first HC char (also why I was considering build super tanky). | ||

A conduit build should have main attack Frenzy most likely. Volls to pick up power charges and enduring cry to keep up endurance charges. Using EK in a conduit build doesn't really serve a purpose. | ||

Anyway if you just wanna get a general idea this is a common ek shadow build : http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAAnEC4wSzB6UMfRB_ES0UTRVQFecWbxa_GYUaOBpsHNwkPCSqJpUnqSlPKlssnC0fLUc26TrYRKtJUUmyTdhQQlVLVa5VxlptXfJgbWHiYqxtGW17cFJw1XOzfIN-WX_GgW-CEIIegziH24w2jHaOZI6-j0aPppBVnYCdrp48oW2iAKIuoqOnCKdcp4S1SLb6uJO8n8Hzxp7N-s9l0NDSGdQZ1U_WndbR2wved9-w42rjn-Qi7DjwH_Br8-r3pg== | ||

Zoning out via TP/WP/Portals can kill you, alt+f4 can take a couple of seconds till you're gone as well. I think the devs confirmed that logout and alt+F4 take exactly the same time. or did it change recently ? | ||

I've read that they usually link EK with Added Fire Damage and Chain, but what about the character? Do people go for +ele dmg nodes or is the skill damage enough? If you don't really need any +dmg nodes of any kind, I was wondering how a a tanky shield class would work and was considering marauder/templar. I was also wondering if it was plausible to try for a triple charge conduit build, again if EK doesn't need any +dmg from the passive tree. Also is EK heavily item dependent? If it's not too reliant on gear I'd like to take a stab at my first HC char (also why I was considering build super tanky). My first real hardcore character was an EK shadow, once you get into late cruel and merciless imo it gets quite item dependent because of your short range. You rely on mana leech way to much to cast spells, and bear traps for any rares(although with EK your bear trap damage is insane because of the nodes + items you get) You end up running a ton of auras so your mana pool is tiny, which is why mana leech is a must, hatred/determination/wrath/anger/vitality, i think thats all of them. It is a fun build though. | ||

It is a fun build though. I didn't find mana leech that necessary - but then again, I was only running EK-Added Fire-Life Leech-Faster Projectiles (no chain), and was still one/two shotting things, so with the 5 auras running+high mana regen, I didn't feel the need to have mana leech. I didn't think it was too item dependent either, even in later levels, unless I got lucky with my gear. Physical reflects mobs were easy, resists were 75, and hp was around 3.8k or so (which I know is low at this level, but I was still progressing just fine solo) at level 78 and I didn't feel in danger of anything unless my PC crashes (which ended up killing me) or charges. | ||

Reflect phys damage gets reduced by armor so I supose you had a pretty high armor value. One of the most important things about HC EK is the overkill on mobs and the reflect damage you will get from it. So be sure to run with enough armor so you don't end up killing yourself | ||

As an aside, that shows just how insane the accelerating returns on EHP from resists are. | ||

Haha yea, I was feeling on a roll again last night. I did a few maps then realized I wasn't capped on Light Resist what the hell. I forgot that my old chest has LR on it... faaaak. Going to have to play around with rings because I recently changed to at least 1 mana ring (around +100) so I could have my auras up and still cast a heavily modified spell totem (then I could pot or regen and spam arc). I go back to town to figure out my resist situation, especially since my archer homey wanted to run a yellow 71 map. While doing this I think.. well fuck it. I probably won't replace this chest, time to exalt this bad boy. First exalt ever used actually. Result? + Show Spoiler + Rolled 35 lightning resist lol Edit: Going to be streaming a bit tonight. I don't have a lot of friends on atm so probably just soloing some maps, or trading, or using orbs etc. My build is based around a spell totem to perma freeze them and my lightning to melt them Message Krystyliz in game for anythign u need or join my maps!Puff's Stream | ||

You can cheat the system by alt+f4'ing but when you have a legitimate disconnection you just have to pray you character doesn't die until the backend server finally realizes you are completely oos. This is so infuriating ... That's just how networking works. If you send the command to quit, the server will respond to that immediately. When you dc, the server waits for a response from your computer, which never comes since you're dc'd. So your character stands there during until the connection times out. There's really not much that can be done about this lol. | ||
