" Arctic Armour is kind of useless as usually you wanna fire a ED projectile in the general direction that you're moving then when it hits you apply contagion or just before to just keep moving, you're almost never standing still.

Hi,
I'm pretty new to the game and started to use this build for my main character. Leveling till now was a breeze. But currently I'm kind of stuck at Act 3 on Merciless. The monster are doing a ton of damage, which I can avoid most of the times but it's quite a pain to level. For sure I need to up my resistances, I made the mistake to look at them while standing in my hideout. In there the game showed, that all my resistances would be above 75% but when I went into Act 3 they droped to 54%,45%,75%. But the bigger problem I have at the moment are monsters that do physical damage even with unbuffed 5k armor. Anyone having some tips on how I can improve my gear? My profile should be set to public and the charactername is "Schibbulator". |

" Hey, Glad you like it bro! Once you get Grace Aura + Iron Reflexes you get an insane ammount of armour making you take almost no damage vs those physical hits. Though, resistances are the biggest issue (or at least should be the biggest issue) when you are not capped. I looked at your gear and your grace aura is only lvl 6, that's causing an impact in your defence capabilities. Change one of your mana flasks for either a Jade Flask and/or Granite Flask with either armour or evasion increase roll to further increase your armour :) Hope it helped!

So double curse aura setup is not mandatory on ed characters?
|
|
" Absolutely not, obviously it helps but it is not mandatory no. There are several different ways you can play builds :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

For a budget ED character, using Grace at 50% reservation is extremely strong in combination with Iron Reflexes. For the equivalent as a dual curser, you would need Temp. Chains + Enfeeble on Blasphemy at 70% reservation. This requires both investment into dual curse and is has taken quite a hit with the AoE changes. This makes Grace relatively stronger, since you don't have to worry so much about mana issues or curse radius. At the same time you are still able to manually curse or curse on CWDT (or even a blasphemy) for a reliable and strong defense for characters that do not invest heavily in the north side of the passive tree.
Enfeeble loses some of it's potency once you shy away from evasion as it reduces hit chance as well, which is not relevant for armour based characters. It is still a very strong curse, but gaining 2.5 flat armour is bonkers. |
