well anyway i'd be looking for raw HP. Everything else should be doable I think.
TBH if ur looking to farm wealth and not necessarily make a busted spec to clear super-endgame content then u should just run piety a lot until you feel comfortable running dominus, then run him a lot. Do it in 6-man drops for the gear
Getting positive chaos resist is easy. You only need to get a good roll on a couple items and you're set. With crafting it is so easy to find a chaos resist piece and just enchant it into usable stats.
O no I come home from my last final and they took the servers down for urgent problem. helppppppppppppp Plus i leave saturday morning until monday afternoon for a 'family vacation' lawd save me.

Yeah, I read a bit about boss farming and seems like my build should do it really easily. Bosses are like monkeys with the totems and I generally just AFK while they run around deciding which totem to attack while dying.
As for the chaos, yep, first time I've ever had a positive chaos res character, hell my 80 something LA ranger was still -60% i believe. I'm not sure how it happened but I got a few pieces (rings/boots/chest) that have insane dual/tri res, so on other pieces like gloves, helm, amulet I went full life/chaos res/amour etc. Also in this build, you get 4 +life +chaos resist nodes which certainly helped.
I'm not even sure it's worth having so much chaos resist but some how it's happened and it seems kinda neat.
My HP should start getting up there now that I've greedily taken most all of my fire/burn/totem damage nodes. I was greedy and took those before a lot of my life nodes because the build just felt so safe while leveling. It was a nice change of pace as I'm generally incredibly safe and get all my life nodes before taking any offensive things.
Hi! I have been playing some D3, but now I am considering taking up PoE a bit more to play with some friends of mine. First problem, I guess, will be to catch up to their characters. So to save me time, I was hoping to get some pointers from you here.
Could someone link me to a guide or description of a strong build that is fairly quick to level up? I normally like the glass-cannon dps playstyle, so I was thinking ranger with a bow, but I have no idea what is viable.
I don't mind taking shortcuts or doing "boring" farming to speed things up as long as it is within the rules.
Haven't played since first steam release since last year, and then decided to roll a new duelist with molten strike. I remember Merveil being difficult the first time around but holy crap they revamped fight so much lol. I beat her by running around and laying fire traps.
Man they've added so much too. Strongboxes, corrupted areas and vaal skills, and now masters? Game seems to have gotten a lot of love recently. Levellings pretty fast at the beginning but not sure if game will keep my interest though. Anybody have any fun builds to recommend?

Shockwave Totem is much better.
I know, in retrospect, I'd never play this build again. It's not that fun, nor is it better than other totem bro builds. I ultimately tried this because it's a new skill (for me) and my friend was already doing SWT may he RIP in piece. In the end, at least searing bond builds level fast and are incredibly CHEAP.
This character will do nicely farming piety/dom and maybe some maps until I accumulate enough wealth or get bored enough to reroll something else. I really loved my cycloner, maybe I'll try that again.
Has anybody managed to kill Abaxoth? I had him spawn last night in a 71 map and it was just impossible. I'm sure the tight corridors of arachnid nest didn't help, but it was pretty scary.

Raiz did (and I think a few more people probably did, too). But he is insane. I don't wanna fight him, like srsly.

If we assume it works the same as the rest of the game handles it then yes to both. Don't know for sure, though.
wow I really hated beyond for a long time but now that im around lvl 80 and my build has come together they really become just extra free loot and exp. Also a bit because of the patch ofcourse..

What's wrong with totem builds? They clear decently fast, benefit from player stats (e.g. power charges), allow MF and protect you pretty well. Personally I find any build boring after a while, my biggest gripe with totem builds has always been the slow clear speed (even back when spork totems were "overpowered"), which is why I miss my selfcasting MF discharger.

How do you MF with a selfcast discharger cO
That was on Standard with voll's amulet. Get powercharges en masse with voll's armour and ice spear, discharge, have a ton of endurance charges, ice spear, full charges (never went for frenzy), discharge, 80k dps. Had MF on all items that allowed it (except for amulet, obviously).

Totem builds are fine, searing bond totem build is kinda boring. That's all I was speaking about. I don't find it that fun, if I ever do totems again, it will be SWT or some sort of dual spell totem shenanigans.
