Two questions today
1) I don't feel like I am using Frenzy correctly. How do you guys best employ this skill? Should it be treated as a temp buff and only be used in dire situations?
2) If I am at a quest reward and one of the NPC's offers me an item to choose, can I stop right there and go back to my stash to double check that I don't pick a duplicate or is it too late by that time?

I have an idea. I keep forgetting the mapping between character/user name and FBG name.
If your username is not obvious who you are at FBG, lets put our FBG name right into the status message area. I just did it with mine.

What level was ledge? Just because you can go there doesn't mean you shouldn't level up first haha.Seems damage reflect mobs are some of the biggest PITA, this seems like an interesting build to try:ran in there, first group had 2 bosses. One had his allies reflect physical damage and the other do significantly more physical damage.

1) Frenzy is an interesting skill, it grants frenzy charges which increase attack speed, but the skill itself also increases in attack speed and damage per frenzy charge you have. There are in my opinion two ways to use frenzy. Both are viable and my physical ranger I'm leveling at the moment with 6 (soon to be 7) frenzy charges does ridiculous damage for how crappy the bow im using is.-As a single target attack with which you keep up your charges for as long as possible, if you are a physical damage bow user frenzy is far and away the best physical single target attack, it grants you attack speed, the skill itself doubles down on that boost and then you get a flat damage increase.-As a temporary buff, get up your charges and then AoE at an increased speed.2) Yes, you never even have to accept quest rewards, you can return to the npc at any time and there will be an option in his dialog box that will say "claim -quest name- reward".

You could farm the catacombs in cruel. Level 53 but you have more resists. Chance for a large chest that drops a ton of stuff.So I think I am reduced to farming that area before Lioneye for nowLots of slow, easy mobs, you usually get 3-4 yellows and a given 1 red boss. You could do worse for farming at merciless.

I have actually never done catacombs. How are they to farm in cruel with melee? How close to the WP is it?

Try it again when you've leveled up some. The end can be tough, there's usually a ton of blue mobs, some rares and a summoner.

Of the roughly 40 times i have died in normal, i think 35 are identical. Stupidly run into a room, get surrounded on all sides and can't get away to heal.
Hopefully by death 100 I will see the pattern

Reminder for those that have not done this yet.Just type S in game and that brings up the social menu, and at the top of the menu is your status bar. You can type your FBG name in there and then it makes for an easy mapping for people to know who they are talking to (if your user name is not like your FBG name that is).

I read a thread the other day on the forums where a guy supposedly used 600 Fusing Orbs on one piece of equipment to try and get a 6L.
How many hours would this guy have logged in just Open Beta to acquire that many fusing orbs?
I have a acquired a total of 3 Fusing in 50 hours of play.

I've gotten lots of fusings. Plus you can get them from vendors. I'm still immune to the higher gems, although I did find a regal last night.

Wow. I have about 15 in my bank, but also have used several to this point. I am at a point where I need to upgrade some gear, as well. I am hoping to get a few drops in my farming, but we shall see. It has been a long time since I have upgraded.I need to do some changing of orbs, as well. I believe 8 transmutations gets you 1 alchemy, or is it 1 jewelers? I cannot remember, but I know you can do some changing alright. The other thing I noticed is when I check out the vendors, they will occasionally have a piece of gear that would exchange for a chromatic, and you can buy it for 1 alteration.

When you say changing of orbs are you talking about recipes?http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Vendor_Recipes#Orbs_and_Scrolls

What do the vendors charge for orbs? I am trying to horde the "quality improvement" pieces for end game and future characters.

0.10.2 Patch notes out: Here
Should come mid Wednesday or late Wednesday.
New skill sounds pretty meh, four new uniques however.
Exciting.

Duelist tree rework, is huge.The addition of new mana on kill nodes is also huge, before it was only the soul siphon section which for 3 points gave you +25 mana on kill, if you can boost that further it could balance out blood magic vs mana for melee.

See your above post and scroll down to vendors, it will tell you what you want to know, I think.

Oh cool. Never looked close enough at that section. I never use my orbs of chance so if i understand the conversion, i think i can trade in 8 orbs of chance for 1 alchemy (which i seem to want to use more often). Interestingly that seems to be twice as expensive as what the currency exchange suggests between a alch and a chance (should be 4:1)

I asked this question a few weeks ago but I am unsure if I understood the answer so let me ask again.
My ranger is using Iron Reflexes (converts all Evasion to Armor).
I am very close to a Leather and Steel Notable (24% increase to armor and evasion).
Should I take that node? I unsure how the math works out since I already have Iron Reflexes.
I am also very close to the normal 10% Evasion nodes that I could take instead.

I would take it but I am about 90% sure that they do not stack. So you will see a 24% increase not 48. I cant exactly remember the numbers since I have not played my marauder in some time.
Jojo the circus boy
Footballguy
24 > 10 regardless so take it, it doesn't double stack though, search the thread

Man, you really level fast in groups on the ledge. Up to 56 now after a little last night and this morning. Got some nice new gear.
It gets a little depressing, however, when you are melee and by the time you get to a lot of mobs, they are already dead from the archers spamming the lightning.

Don't hold me to it, but I'm pretty sure you will get the bonus of both it just doesn't double down. 24% increase to both armor and evasion (which then just becomes armor) is kind of big. Dont forget, the leather and steel nodes get buffed in the upcoming patch. Final Armour = Base Evasion * ( 1 + % increased Evasion Rating + % increased Armour + % increased Evasion Rating and Armour )+ Base Armour * ( 1 + % increased Armour + % increased Evasion Rating and Armour )

Oh that is right! I saw that in the list you posted but forgot. Ok sounds like your guys advice all makes sense. It is too close to not take.
Thanks everyone.

So far I love my templar archer the most. The templar starts out close enough to the marauder nodes to get good health and armor and close enough to caster nodes to get some great mana and ele damage.

Yeah when I run the ledge I try to load up on Flask Charges to keep up with those guys. They are running ahead trying to NINJA everything they can. Not so much in the higher levels because they need everyone to kill off the mobs.

Your characters name, or your status? For status, open up the social panel and type it at the top, there will a place to type.Found my first map today. Dried lake map.Also found a couple of mid level uniques, a 2 handed maul and a sword, if anyone could use them let me know.

TBH you can make an amazing archer with any of the classes except witch.But the highest is most definitely Shadow, but the Shadow is also the squishiest.

Type S to bring up the social menuAt the top of the social menu will be an area where you can type your status. In that area type in "SHIZNITTTT" That way when ever someone sees your login name, they can instantly tie it to who it is on FBG.Most everyone has done this who names don't match their fbg names except I think for whom ever JDonk is (Run It Up?).

It's Geofri's Babtism, as shown on this page. Only variable is stun duration, that's 17%. Level 27 requirement, pretty decent damage for that level.I am interested in what the maul has to offer. . .

Just had my first ever GCP drop. Maps probably don't drop much until the highest levels, because you have to be really high level to use them. I can't use the one I have yet.

I have only played in a group once for 5 minutes just so i could see what it was like. How do i know if I am ninjaing something? Should I only go after stuff that has my character name on it for a short time?I have gotten one GCP, until last night. While running Ledge in a group, I had 2 more drop. 1 I got, the other got ninja'd.
