Crap but it's not about that. It's about the modifiers on the spell.

Hard to calculate, each totem shoots 3 sparks, those sparks split into two sparks when they hit a wall or mob, sparks are doing 350 damage with 30% lightning penetration. Only lvl 57 at the moment, very few crit chance or multiplier nodes and no damage nodes yet. I'm also using lmp power charge on crit ice spear to build up charges and I think my current crit multiplier is 350%.
Kripp has a Spork build? I could use a link if so, I made this character specifically to low-life farm and at the moment survivability is looking pretty bad, but so far running around hasn't been too hard, using a crappy 5L 180 ES chest I found. I have 1.8k ES and 1.2k life but im reserving 1k life at the moment.Build so far after I hit about 65 I'm gonna have to reallocate a lot of my points, ill be going through witch instead of over the top, ill be speccing out of the health nodes and into damage nodes as well as picking up the templar body and soul and the crit multiplier ring by witch. Ill be grabbing the shadow nullification node too. Where I wanna be at 80

Is this what we are talking about?http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Redbeak
If so, then the "100% increased damage on low life" is not just for using Redbeak itself but for any type of damage as long as you are holding redbeak and on low life?
FootballDummy
Footballguy
Generally increased damage on weapons only applies to the weapon damage, but Redbeak may be an exception, Kripp has a build where he dual wields Redbeaks, there must be a reason.
Run It Up
Footballguy
Correct, as long as you are at what is considered low life, then you will deal 100% increased damage with whatever type of attack you are using (or 200% if you are dual wielding them).
Pain attunement then multiplies my final damage by 1.3

I put some items up: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/334282
Is offering gambling on good un-ID'd map-drop rares a decent idea? I haven't seen anyone else do it. The alternative is that i ID and usually vendor them, I figure the price of an alch is good for both parties if it's a desired item type.

Thanks for the trade! I will bump your post with feedback on the forum.
For others on here. Could you look at the wand (Bramble Spell Carved Wand) I traded for at his original link? It has 7 mods. I thought the limit was only 6 mods (3 prefix and 3 suffix)...

Interested in starting one of these, but what is considered low life and is it obtained via blood magic on auras?Run It Up said:

Thanks. I think that maybe there's a single suffix with both spell damage and base max mana. That's my best guess.

Yes, auras with blood magic is the way to go. Low life occurs when you drop below 35% of your health (excluding chaos innoculation)

Picked up my 2nd andvarius ring today. Got my IIR up to 200% hope it pays off. So far Merveil Runs are messed up because too much to carry and use the TP trick.

tp trick?
FootballDummy

Its been posted in this thread. You run through Wrath, then drop a TP right at the entrance to Anger. Run through Anger, kill Merveil, then go through to ACT 2. Take the WP that's right there, go back to ACT 1 town, sell your stuff, then take your TP back to the entrance of Anger. Allows you to only do Anger once.

you still have to reset anger though to spawn her right?

Well, you are gonna want as much ES as possible, which is what im struggling with at the moment, I dont have a good ES chest let alone a good 5L ES chest.You will get the majority of your ES from your chest and helmet, so I would focus on those, Redbeaks are actually quite cheap, I found both of mine but you could probably get one for an alch.There are two unique chests that I'm very interested in for this build:-Soul Mantle Spidersilk Robe-Shavronnes Wrappings Occultists VestmentsBoth are gonna be very pricey, Soul Mantle gives +1 maximum totem "gems in this item are supported by lvl 14 spell totem" as well as increased spell damage and totem life, with a downside of whenever a totem of yours dies you are inflicted with a lvl 20 random curse (multiples will stack), it can also be 6L making it possible to have a spell totem skill with 5 additional supports (previously impossible) as well as 3 totems (also previously impossible).Shavronnes gives a reasonable amount of energy shield (450ish) and gives "chaos damage does not bypass energy shield" which negates this builds biggest weakness.Other than that I would recommend Aurseize unique gauntlets, Wondertrap unique boots, Perandus Blazon unique belt, a high ES chest and Helmet, a gold amulet with IIQ/IIR cast speed and spell damage/lightning damage, gold rings (Andvarius if you can afford it) with heavy resistances.Two warding granite flasks of iron skin (Curse immunity, 60-100% increased armor) as this build will have low-to-none armor.Buddy Ball 2K3, on 15 Apr 2013 - 15:31, said:

So after a few runs I can't do the TP Merveil trick without leaving behind multiple yellows. I was hoping for more uniques but it is what it is.
Run It Up
Footballguy
With uniques its all about time. Rarity can only do so much, when you consider there is like a .01% chance a unique drops and that 200% IIR gives you triple that, well .03% chance in the short term isn't much at all, but in the long term its 3x as much.IIQ also reduces the variance.
FootballDummy
Footballguy
I've found 3 or 4 uniques in one day of running, so it's possible. I have 244% iir, and about 50 iiq.

I did 10 runs two days ago and found 4, 2 on the same merveill kill, of course they were all crap though.Farming Merciless Felshrine atm, easy. See a pack, drop two totems pick up loot. Playing one handed atm.

so why are you using clarity with blood magic then? I don't understand the build I guess. Are you using maybe Blood Magic gems and not the Keystone which would mean you could still use mana for other things and then that would make sense to me.no it regens mana.I have never used Clarity.

So I figured I might as well get to 70 on my leapin' marauder and try some maps. I am running City of Sarn for that, figure much safer than Docks without those freaking voidhounds and only 1 level below, so not bad. Polish off a group of beetles and see a tan-fonted item I have never seen before. It seems so short in name, whatever could it be? Yeah, my first Exalted drop.

Here is a simple spread sheet that shows every level of players from 1-100 and every level of monster from 1-77 and shows the experience band and where you start experiencing the penalty and by how much.

I tried making a dual ice spear totem user a few weeks into open beta, if you set out to start as soon as possible its such a grind. When I leveled my spork totem character I used lmp+freeze pulse until lvl 55 before switching to dual totem, I also got 10 hp nodes, which im now respecced out of all of them except for divine toughness.A lot of spork users have zombies, I'm still considering it, I don't use them at the moment but it will really depend on if I can survive at merciless docks.

I was running Merciless docks one night with a lmp Lighting arrow char one night, and he used zombies. I asked him if he was a summoner, he said no, I just did it for survivability.

Maps r hard. Good luck. I'm level 74, and I can usually deal with most normal/rare monsters on a map, but the bosses can 2 hit me. Plus fast packs can kill.

I've found that maps are really, really inconsistent in terms of difficulty. I have a level 77 dual spork witch and I can mostly solo cruise through maps with decent mods but there are times when I almost can't get out of the portal and i'm swarmed. This happens on L66 maps at least as often as like L69 maps. It's all about the monster variety that appears. Those poison thrower things from the act 3 sewers are easily the worst things I have to deal with, followed by those golems from fellshire and necromancers. The dunes and the dried lake seem to have worse monster types than many other L66 maps. I think the grotto is my favorite one to run and i usually get easy enemies too.
If it's useful for reference, I have like 6200 ES and chaos innoculation and I use a bunch of zombies and skeletons as shields too, although I often run maps with maybe 4500 ES just because it gives me more item drops and I don't have much trouble there, assuming that the monster variety is decent.
My recommendation is to mod a grotto map with easy stuff and just see how you fare there. For me, increasing item drops at the cost of crappy handicaps (50% slower regen and things like that) is almost never worth it since it takes forever to clear the map that way, so you're not coming out ahead.

I'm not sure if I'm the last to the party on this one but I started levelling a marauder with a 2 handed maul, blood magic, some life leech / life regen items. Running a main attack of either leap slam or ground slam (enemy dependant) and supporting with multistrike + faster attacks + melee physical damage. I used to think melee was too slow but holy crap, this thing kills mid-game stuff faster than anything i've seen.
It's way, way more fun than levelling a witch.
I'm already dreading respeccing into something else down the road when reflect just wipes me out.
So if you're looking for a fun build to mess around with, 2 handed mauls and leap slap can be really, really fast and it's a lot of fun.

Can someone explain when reflect comes into play? I am in act2 of merciless now. I am unsure what enemies do this reflect thing you guys keep referring to.
FootballDummy
Footballguy
It comes off yellow bosses. You can tell because they will look like there are spikes going out around them, and their minions will have it too. White spikes mean Melee reflect, which can be deadly to Melee characters.
Aabye
Footballguy
And the big issue is that the stronger your character's melee attack is, the worse for you since the damage reflected is a percentage of your melee damage dealt. So a weaker character with good life won't have a huge problem with reflect but if you're going for bigger damage, you can end up one or two shotting yourself if you hit a reflect mob. It's a real irritation in maps.
Reflect is sorta one of those rich man's problems - I kill stuff so fast that I accidentally kill myself a lot.
The first character i levelled up is dual totem and so doesn't have to deal directly with reflect but even there, archers with reflect kill my totems so fast that i can't even use them.
