yeah, thing is, howa isnt hurt nearly as badly as WI by the hexproof mod. triple vinktars is something like 18 seconds of being able to facetank everything, which should be enough to clear most of it on a high damage build like howa.

by investing heavily into a tricurse setup, we are obviously gutted heavily by the hexproof mod.

Should I invest 60 exalts into a 900 ES 6L body armor piece or a +1 Curses Astramentis? It feels like the Astramentis would pay better dividends because it frees up a ring slot, but I like the idea of 200 more base ES and being able to link Orb of Storms to my curses so I don't necessarily have to get hit to apply them.

The 200 ES is great but the 6L, I would not need it, linking the orb of storms feels kinda useless, the option that Kelvynn presented, with Enhance linked is also just a bonus.

So I would recommend the Astramentis so you can equip 2 Perandus Signets or whatever you like for ring slots, or maybe even use the Whispers of Doom Points elsewhere for some Increased flask effects or more jewel sockets and damage, also maybe even more ES with "Energy shield and mana regeneration" or "Foresight".

I have searched the FAQ and I havent found a mention of it.

How about using Eye of Chayulahttps://goo.gl/y415MP instead of Astramentis.
We'll lose most of the atributes that Astramentis gives us and we'll have to most likely redesign the whole skill tree to make up for the STR and DEX atribute requirement but that will allow us to no longer depend on Unawering Stance which is hard to reach.

It is 5 point to reach. Everything else is useful, and the strength nodes are converted. Also, getting 100 strenght + 100 dexterity will take us either several skill points (which we do not have) or to have some on our gear (which will make it more expensive). Plus you would be losing 100 int, which gets around 42 percent extra with WI, Black Sun and perandus, and 55+ with 2 perandus. So losing Astramentis for the sake of 5 skill points would be a really bad decision.

A short feedback from a SSF casual player.

So far so good. Now level 83, doing low and mid-tier maps very easily.

The only item i had when i started was (obviously) the Whisphering Ice Staff.

I followed the guide - what a great job !! Especially the "Levelling section"


It is my first CI character and i am not disapointed. I switched to CI at level 39, as stated in the guide, without any problem.


Now, i will have hard times i believe because i don't have Astramentis. I wonder how to get it: orbe chancing Onyx amulet or farming The Polymath divination card - but i never saw one in hours of POE.

I don't either have any Brute Force Jewel but i hope it will drop ( i already have 2 stupid Braw Crimson Jewel : -11% Intelligence..LOL )

Even with this average gear i enjoy this build and will try to push it further.

Thanks for your job and for sharing it !!

Hi guys,

I've been trying this build (lvl91 now) and it is actually great, not really easy to find or craft the perfect items but once done it really worth.

I would like to ask your opinion about the heretic's veil, anyone had experience with it?

I also have doubts about the 88/92 skill points reaching the last jewel, they could be used on the ES section increasing it significantly.

Cheers

Am I missing something regarding capping resists? Looking at the gear posted at the start of the thread "2.6 Prophecy league, after 2 weeks" I calculate resists as follows: Fire- 30% | Cold- 61% | Lightning- 90% This includes resist nodes from the passive tree including Diamond Skin.

Your calculations are wrong. Resists are shown in Stats.

I ended up with the following gear:

standard to this build:

different:

The chest is abundant, a unique for Perandus Signet and has equal resistances for the flask.
The boots resolve any bleed issues, are easy to color RRRG, and give another endurance charge, win-win-win.
The amulet is a cheap astramentis and has some good leech buffs.
The gloves can be anything, but I used these and Aurseize. The rampage keeps you in a good rhythm.
All of my gear is unique, so the Perandus Signet bonus is mighty.

...
Had 203 str, 121 dex, 1255 int, with 6556 ES and 67/1343 mana.

Well, that's... terrible? :(

There have been a few attempts at all-unique setups to get higher Int from Perandus (which usually meant dropping 1 curse and using 2 Peranduses), and they all were much better than your result, but still they were never as good as the original setup and had various flaws that made them bad for the endgame. All-unique is just novelty but there is no real reason to go for it. Especially after the introduction of essences in 2.4 that was specifically meant by GGG as 'making rares great again'.

Getting the offcolours (3r1g) is probbaly hardest part on this build :/

Don't do it until you can afford it (i.e. have 1k+ chroms to blow). Use the helmet for the RRRG link until then.
