Act 8 - Lvl 65 FrostBlade Raider Ranger...and I've Stalled.

[Kurtis the Red]

Look, I know this game is hard and I know i'm probably not playing it correctly. But, right now I'm hard stuck between Tier 2 Lab and the first boss of Act 8. I've been following a frostblade build that I found online after playing 3 characters to lvls 20-30 and each falling off.

Everything was going great, the game was challanging/rewarding, died a few times, found some loot...just playing through the story and suddenly... a wall...I just can't get past these two bosses. I've farmed for two levels searching for upgrades to my gear...and been focusing health/survivablity for the last 20 lvl's and still getting one shot by these boss mechanics.

I want to get to maps, I want to see what end game is like in Path of Exile...but if the answer to this problem is..."Sorry, spend another 35 hours to get back to where you were with your last character." Then **** it all.

I'm here asking for help...I'm playing it solo, finding my own gear, trying to progress, and learning the game as I go. What can I do to get over this hump...any gems/link that I can get to keep me alive? Grind another 5 lvl's, if so where's the best place? Vetern PoE'ers send me your energy!

normal atziri is not the big deal with a AW totem. just referring to AW totems because never played an other form of totem builds.

reflect? let the totem handle it, also abyssus inc damage it comes very late in the calc of receiving damage [pathofexile.gamepedia.com]

Totems in general can handle most content. Just plop one down and watch everything die.

I've got to finally do a totem build some day,pre 3.0 when I introduced my friends to the game I built an aurabot scion and added totems on top of that and couldn't believe on how effective I was with so little commitment to totems.

Aurabot with totems? Yeah, thats the perfect combo right there. That, and aurabot with minions. Really, both totem and minion builds tend to be gear-independent and can tackle most content.

Summoners only have the weakness of needing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of sockets to function well.

i think you were a bit fast, maybe due OP level equip or other stuff because you are 5 level under the merc lab and tier 1 maps :D

first one: he is saying "after the update" so he is referring to a double dip anc warshief from pre 3.0, which were just insanly broken. Played one by myself, and most things dont come to you due the various mechanics.

second one: dont try to compare storm call with double dip AW.

third one: refering that is nice to have 3,5k life to do endgame but then stating that it was about a double dip OP skill from somewhere from the past, is imo not really the way to go. especially in a beginner thread.

fourth one: 3,5k life could work. he is using evasion + dodge mechanics, enfeeble and blade flurry to outleech the small hits. he also stated that high damage stuff gets him one shotted. so the only thing he need to worry about are big hits, so he has luck with evasion or can dodge manually

All in one, it comes down to a build which works for him, but I wouldnt recommend anyone else.

well, its still very solid after the update once you build your tree correctly. no longer exactly the same and you pretty much need to rethink the way shadow ascendancy works now with the change to how poison applies (basically it makes no sense in both wording and maths whenever it hits the poison bleed mechanics)
also a lot harder to gear into as i had to drop acrobatics. and yet it still works. the high damage stuff generaly doesnt hit me because i will skirt the fight. AW is still op which is illustrated in the harbinger data sheets, its hands down the most used skillgem.
also, yeah, storm call is very different. i started my BF AW poison bleed because of Mathil doing that poison bleed reave build and it was and still is the idea that the damage isn' t dealt up front. its further down the line once poison and bleed gets calculated that things start hurting.
(btw , whats your oppinion on voidheart now that they redone the poison bleed? :D
