Path of Exile(diablo clone)

Im restarting from fresh again. I'm not much of one for min/maxing or farm build so gone with a witch with minions as I've never played it before.

What do you even do at top level on this?
 
Started my 'main' character which is a ST Raider - absolutely destroys so far. Can highly recommend an RF Zerker for a league starter. Got to 85 on him and t9 maps, still reckon he could chew through right up until t15/6, I was still finding it easy to gain lvls etc but thought it was time for my main as I got a load of chaos stacked etc ready for it.

On another note, I decided I'm getting a mirror this season, as I played for near 800 hours so far and think it's time lol!

GL with that, been playing poe since beta & only got my 1st mirror last year :D, still no shavs or kaoms tho.
 
Loads of people used to tell me you must get resistance cap etc etc.

However looking at a lot of builds how do they achieve this when they don't seem to have any gear toward it?
 
I haven't got the link on my phone but it's the 3.0 sunder stun Bezerker build. There are no nodes put toward resistance, no jewels with resistance and nothing in the build suggests taking any gear with elemental resistances on.

Is cap all that important or do players ignore it at higher levels and focus on dmg?
 
Resist cap is extremely important, I have never played a build that didn't require it. Though I'm not really sure where it's expecting you to get it from then???

EDIT: Is it the build off the official forums called 3.0 Stunlock beserker - stun t15 bosses without totems and expensive gear? (I can't link too as I'm at work)

If so, he is getting his resists from his gear as the gear he linked has it on. On his stats section in defense they're all capped at 75% too.

Gear seems pretty expensive on poe.trade in this league :(

Struggling a bit at level 62 Act 9, no luck with drops and all the gear for sale is well expensive! Mebbe lower my expectations and go for smaller upgrades.

Ok if it's through gear, I must have misread that. I always use nodes to help it but I'll look into gear.

Cheers
 
I liked the look of the RF Zerket but couldn't find a decent written guide of it anywhere.

Bits I've read it sounds although someone ripped it off and a bit of an argument about the build.

Looked extremely cool though.
 
RF Zerker is powerful, I did one as my league starter and they kick butt. I will say though they get a little stale quite quickly as you effectively just run around and things drop rather than a satisfying explosion etc lol.

If you want a good guide there is a guy named Pohx on Youtube who did one. Pretty sure he explains everything and there are leveling progression trees in his first comment.
 
It's brilliant for leveling, like super super easy. User Sunder to lvl with until you can do the first labrynth (lvl33) as it would be quite difficult to sustain the RF degen until you get the Zerker passive which heals you for 25% everytime you use a warcry. After that you can wack a life flask and warcry to heal yourself constantly and eventually you get to a point where your life regen keeps up on its own and your sustain is enough to not need flasks. I pretty much afk'd the last boss aside from moving out of fire a couple of times XD

Cheers for the help! I found the link to his build page and started a new marauder to work toward it. Most gems are achievable from the Marauder but a few will need me to run a Shadow to purchase them which isn't a huge fuss. Getting gear with enough/the right gems might be a PITA mind but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!

Is there some sort of auction house or something in game where you can get gear or is it just a case of farm for everything?
 
Yes, there is a site called POE trade. You can search there for what you would like and then when you find something you want to purchase, there is a button which says copy to clipboard. You click that then control v it into the chat window in game and it will message the guy (or girl) something along the lines of "Hi, I would like to purchase your megasword of instadeath for 1 chaos in Harbinger". They then should send you an invite, accept it, get to town, push s and right click their name and goto their hideout to do the trade.

Be warned though mate, low cost items or stuff that has just been posted are prone to people not answering. Usually if you message someone who has literally posted something they ignore it, then you see the same item later but for more cost. It might be an idea to enable 'person is online' when you enter the criteria for what you are searching.

1 tip I will give you though, is try to spend as little as you can levelling up. Don't waste Jewellers or Chromes on gear you're going to out level very quickly. If you need the slots or colours for them to fit gems in, make sure you REALLY need said gem first. it's usually better to wait to be able to equip the gem. If you find you are coming to a halt in progress, maybe buy a weapon for like 1 chaos or so but leave it at that if you can and just use what you find on the way. Also!!! In act 3, there is a place you can go to called the Library and in there there is an npc called Siosa. Do his quest and then you will be able to buy all gems from him, this will save you having to make a mule if you can wait for the gem equip.

Hope this helps :)

That's great, cheers for the tips. So it's an "unofficial" AH but still operates as one.

I'm just running in standard, not up to hardcore yet :p
