A bit suprised to see that the final zone before the lunaris temple is lvl 66 while I'm only 63. Also insta killed my self in the battlefront zone with one volley of lmp LA that hit the lightning thorns melee mobs, gg. How does that ability work, % or flat returned damage? | ||

It does flat damage when you hit them. If you have chain + LMP lightning arrow you hit 27 times. | ||

Vaal fight is more of praying that you don't desync more than anything. | ||

Does it first take all the evasion and multiply it with the increased evasion % that I have from other passives and then convert it to armor, or does it convert the base values to armor first and then only uses the increased armor % on the former base values of evasion? | ||

I try to compensate by my bad play by getting as tanky as possible + getting amazing gear. As a result, the game is a lot less stressful. | ||

"+%evasion and armor" acts like only +%armor if you have IR. | ||

Anyway I would greatly appreciate some endgame planning help for those with more experience than me. Question 1: Can spell totems be planted far away from you or do they have to be planted by your feet? Question 2: Let's say I really beef up my skeletons/zombie HP/resist Can I get them strong enough to survive a bit on endgame maps, or do minions just get rolled no matter what? Question 3: I want to nuke things also while summoning because I get bored and I want to fucking make stuff die directly. If I were to pick a spell to make shit die at endgame while summoning, what should I pick? -Would like it to be castable through Frost Walls, because I want to be able to camp my ass behind a Frost Wall -Would like it to be pretty long range because I want to be able to camp my ass behind a Frost Wall while being very far away and fuck going close, that's what minions are for -Not going dual totems because fuck that, I'm doing this shit myself -If there's monsters that roll my minions (I hear bad things about Flame Sentinels) I'm going to fucking roll them in return Looking at: -Arc -Ice Spear -Cold Snap (lolol 4 second CD, might take this if I go Ice Spear, because freezing is awesome and maybe Power Charge on Crit is good but I have no fucking idea since I don't have it) -Ice Nova traps (Ice Nova damage looks really shit at level 20 though, even if I take all sorts of damage abilities, and I don't know jack shit about traps except that I can throw them) -Fire Storm (damage looks awesome but uh scared about the 20% effectiveness thing) Anything else? Is my plan total trash? | ||

Answer 2: They will always die but not immediately if you buff them. As summoner you use skeletons and zombies as replacable bone/meatshields and (ranged) specters as Damagedealers - note that they benefit from support gems even if they don´t have "minion" in them. Answer 3: No icespells for summoners since they shatter corpses. Out of the ones you listed clearly Arc for shockstacks. Firestorm is hard to use since it´s random where the fireballs land. | ||

And you can use firestorm but it needs support gems to start being usefull: - Concentrated Effect makes it FAR more reliable and increases the damage by a lot ( more damage per hit and more hits in a smaller zone which is still big enough) - Increased Duration makes the skill last longer which causes more fireballs to fall and works pretty good together with concentrated effect as anti boss Dps | ||

Also, am I doomed to farm docks from 63-70 to be able to kill Piety or is the level requirement less? The zone with the "Sever the Right Hand" quest is 66, so I'm guessing Piety is at least 4-5 levels above that. Can't really say I'm attracted to the idea of farming a zone for that long, would rather avoid that somehow and get into maps, something I never managed on softcore. | ||

Can't really say I'm attracted to the idea of farming a zone for that long, would rather avoid that somehow and get into maps, something I never managed on softcore. I think the curse should work fine to provide shock, at least by lightning arrow. The shock by frenzy depends on how much lightning damage is envolved because the duration is based on the amount of %hp you hit the monster for with that special element and if thats not high enough there wont be any effect. But LA builts usually get their whole damage by long shock duration from big crits so it might not be the best idea to go resolute technique. For Piety...if you are softcore you can do her with level 65-70 but i recommend to at least wait for 70 if not 75 or do her in a group. In softcore you can risk dying just after leveling up and zerg her down in several attempts without losing anything. But for hardcore most people do a lot of maps before going to her. | ||

Also if you are a ranger then its better to take + evade nodes than + armor nodes after you have taken Iron Reflexes due to the dex bonus making each evade node worth more raw armor. | ||

Almost everything in merciless is a gear check; not a level check. Piety in a party should be a cakewalk. The boss fights are so much easier when you're not the only person getting whacked.

When you reach max hitpoints or mana the flask immediately ends including all additional effects. | ||
