Should not be able to be dropped, but you can still craft it. You're not supposed to be able to chance craftable uniques. yea by taming rings i meant the component rings making up the taming
I don't see any of them in invasion/ambush, but I also don't see any information about them being disabled. Possible bug?

I have never done CI build and I probably never will. I don't like how gear dependent it is and life and gear does a good enough job.
I was thinking about making a max block EK build, but it takes so many points.. It's so much easier to just do 1h melee + block.. ugh. And I don't know if EK is that good anymore without going crit.

Are there any vendor recipes for mirrored items? I got a strongbox of them.
|
So it dropped a bunch of items that are the exact same? There is a vendor recipe where you sell I believe five items that are the same base and rarity and it gives you back one that is unidentified.
|
No, the image is flipped and it has a property "Mirrored"

If any of them are rare, you can vendor the copies for a chance orb/alch orb if 20% quality.

So how can I connect into the wonderful TS? Connected once with the one-time use key, but now I can't anymore.

EK Max Block is fine. Just go Iron Will and Str, pick up enough Dex/Intell to run EK and you will be fine.
I'm running Max Block Incinerate in Invasion League and it's working out fine. EK should do better simply because it's even less gear dependent.

I dont think iron will works with EK?

Iron will converts the increased physical damage effect of strength to increased spell damage and applies it to the linked gem.

Oh my bad then *confusion*

EK should do better simply because it's even less gear dependent. I'll explore it again, I was trying to build a tree as templar but maybe I should try a different class.
I was thinking I'd use added fire and scale ele damage and run arctic armor + max block + maybe even righteous fire. I'll put some thought into it since I've wanted to do an EK build since the end of CB.
|
There's literally no reason to scale just the ele portion though considering the numbers involved.
Base damage: 100 phys Added fire: +30 fire. Hatred: +30 Cold.
total dmg: 160.
10% Spell dmg: 176 dmg. 20% Ele Dmg: 172 dmg.
Awkward 
Yes added fire and hatred go slightly higher but basically you need to scale ele twice as much to match damage. Also note that scaling the phys is exactly the same as scaling "spell damage" since the scaling applies before the hatred/added fire additions.
I mean, if you want to scale ele, just do Freezing pulse since it is basically just "Elemental EK" lol and u don't have to run hatred either.
|
I mean, it would get scaled since as templar I get some ele nodes naturally. But yeah I should stop being stupid and be practical even though I know that phys is the main source of damage. Also, why is there only two phy nodes on the whole tree that affects EK, so sad.
|
Well theres also proj dmg nodes but yes those aren't exclusive to EK. More general phys nodes would be cool I agree.

Alright ur build needs mega help lol.
Dump the resistance with shield nodes they r ass Get the weapon artistry node in ranger its godly Get diamond skin + elemental adaptation they r godly Lots of pathing things that I'm certain are inefficent but I'll have to plot out a fixed route to properly say.
also how r u doing damage? EK still? Bet IR is good considering the armor nodes you have. Bet ondar's guile is ass considering the amount of block you already have. Bet you can't evade EK reflect too.
What shield are you using? Are you attempting to get spell block in any manner as well?
Etc.
I'd tell u to be BM but then u can't run hatred which sux.

I'm going EK with this. Yeah, I can't evade spell reflect.. I can evade other stuff though, I think evade is calculated after block so I was just trying to get all that good stuff to happen. IR could be good, could be bad.. would have to math of exile or something.
I'm not fully sure what shield I should use but something good? I planned on getting a Stone of Lazhwar. Though does that mean only half of my block chance is applied to spell chance? Is 75% the max for both attack and spell block?
