Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

Ok need some help

playing 2h juggernaut lvl74, act 10

everything dies from 1 hit (30k dmg with boneshatter or sweep) but i have only 2k life and often get oneshot

how much life i need? i think i specced too much into damage. resists are maxxed and armor at 55% reduction without buffs

2k life is on the low side if you don't have any defense. If you are playing trade buy (or craft if on SSF) a Body Amour with 1500+ Armour and get the Unbreakable passive on Jugg, drop the 2H and get a shield with high armour. Get life on all your gear. Get Determination aura if you don't have it and use Granite flask.

thanks brothers

Also, keep in mind that the most dangerous bosses in the game mostly use elemental (especially cold) damage so ele damage reduction (and shock immunity) is paramount

Unfortunatelly they are right, unless you are going Trickster full evasion with hybrid life/ES

Yeah, the build porn aspect burns-out quite a ways before end-game, too many practical must-haves. Hoping they reel this in for poe2 and its future (fabulously optimistic, I know).

I find Defenses to be in its best state ever. You have clear base defense layer and easy way to get it- Grace/Determination, then you get 2nd layer block/spell suppression/leech and you are set for all regular content. You have some minor add-ons you can slap on for more defense if you want like banners, special flasks, dodge etc.

Depends on what you consider as regular content. For red maps with any nasty mods you will need more than this, at least if you plan to play "melee".

Define regular content.

edit: lol

Anything that is not juiced maps (as 100%+ damage as modifiers), deep delve (500+ depth), uber bosses, delirium maps is pretty regular content.

What are the usual defensive layers for an Inquisitor, broadly? Is it really Armor and Energy Shield or?

Sure, why not? Unless you get the consecrated ground ascendencies I'd recommend to focus more on the armor though.

Meanwhile, GGG are taking the bold strategy with regards to balancing trials

Basically, they buffed the enemy champions and their damage, and lowered the hp of some of the most egregious offenders. I guess I'll wait and see, but I still suspect it's going to feel a bit bad to play.

Supposedly some loading enhancements though, which is nice. I'm chugging along in low red maps (doing like 1-2 per day), still desperately hoping to get a delirium jewel or a good chest to throw jews/fuses at in the vague hope of a 6L.

Opening Expedition on red maps even without damage mods is a fast way to get murdered fast :D
Is that also regular content?

My Guardian summoner does these by charging around and spamming SRS and Convocation. I have no clue what is going on due to all the ones fighting each other and the partical effects, I just press health pot once they take half my HP in single hits that get through and then fast charge away :D
This gameplay is not fun.. I really hope PoE2 keeps enemy numbers to something you can see even in maps.

did u use to play DoW professionally, I seem to remember ur nick

thankfully this will be history with poe 2

yeah visibility is a problem

i hope also poe2 will be a little slower and less of a brainless clusterfuck

No it won't, it will just be on gems themselves and you will want 9 6L.

 

[luj1]

You will need to roll sockets in the skill interface? wtf

No, you will need to find a bunch of rarer and rarer special Fusing orbs that will upgrade each gem by +1 Link. All gems start as 3L and need 3 upgrades.

 

[luj1]

well thats not too bad

 

[ArchAngel]

well thats not too bad

Depends on how rare the 6L will be. Also you will want to do that for all of your 9 skill slot unless you do not plan to use all of them..

Professionally? No.
But I have won the codex dow tournament, which is even more prestigious than making money.

I honestly expect getting a 6L to get worse, because GGG are hot for ruthless. At least you can just throw all the items you get at crafting as soon as you want, since there's no need to hold out for a better crafting base.

Regen from Consecrated Ground, then Armour.

Fought and killed Black Star for the first time . It went down pretty easily, I guess it did mostly elemental damage.

Still slowly playing this league. I'm really feeling held back by shitty gear and still being on a 5-link. Still trying to get useable delirium jewels for respec, still can't get shit.

You are playing SSF?

I've grinded a fair bit but still zero divine drops and all upgrades I need cost multiple divines on Xbox..
I could try to sell all random shit I got for Chaos but there is no way to check prices easily on Xbox so fuck it..
