new player from the other day here

Should I keep this and try to make it 6 link? I heard a noise I never heard before when it dropped and got excited because I thought it was a 6 link. It's actually worse than what I'm wearing as far as energy shield goes. I don't know how much I should value some of these things, I've only seen 3 5-slot chest pieces so far at level 49 and none were 5 linked.

I read the wiki page for this and the level chart doesn't really seem to have any bearing on when or how often I'll see these types of armor.

over 1200 fusings wasted trying to six link vaal regalia. there's no turning back right?

>>164472770
vendor

>>164472770

If you are a troll fuck you if not. No. Six-linking is almost never worth it. Buy a 5link and then farm currency for your armorpiece of choice six-linked.

>>164472770
Getting it 6l can take upwards of hundreds of fusings, and then some. Not worth it on something not endgame.

>>164472870
thanks

>>164472875
Not a troll just new, sorry fampai. I do know getting a 6 link is tough I just wondered if I should keep it for rolling a new char or something.

this doesnt even discribe is. In 9/10 cases you are better of buying it 6 linked from poe.trade than waste fusings on linking it.

>>164472770
Notably, you can waste fusings to get 4links while levelling but even then it is usually better to just look for 4 links that drop, or buy a 4link for a few alts. This will basically always be cheaper than linking something yourself.

Even buying a 6link is usually cheaper than linking yourself (For reasons of gambling/economy). But some builds need weird chests/weapons which are hard to find for sale linked so sometimes, linking yourself is the only option.

Yadda yadda don't waste your fusings they are good to save up.

>>164474271
1 fuse can get you a 6 link
1 alch or chaos can get you a 900 es chest
unlikely, but it can happen and it gives players more enjoyment when it does, as opposed to grinding 10 million coins for a 6L craft

Last league, I crafted this belt with about 20 alts, 1 augment, 1 regal and a master craft so yeah, I am a fan of crafting myself.

>>164474828
>you can waste fusings to get 4links while levelling
I've noticed this, I wasted my meager amount of fusings trying to get the 4 links I have. I did just use poe.trade for the first time though, to get myself a 5link, despite my anxiety of whether I was going to somehow fuck up trading etiquette (even with the copy paste). I originally thought I could get through my first playthrough without using that site but I also really wanted a 5link.

>>164475105
Why didn't you exalt it?

>>164472440
that's exactly what i need

it just so happens that i have a near perfect HoWA in my stash, right next to averageish 6L vaal regalia

>>164474671
I gave up on this idea, sorry guys

>>164475112
>I originally thought I could get through my first playthrough without using that site but I also really wanted a 5link.
I play self found half the time myself (keep a s/f in HC and a regular character in non hc each league, usually) and using currency becomes a much bigger deal there.

Definitely, though, unless you are into gambling, trading is almost always the cheaper option. I've 6linked things in 20 fuses, but I've also manged to burn over 2500 fusings trying to 6link a Shav's and I'm still salty as fuck about it so yeah.

>>164474836
lol
it can also happen that you'll blow over 1k fusings and not get a 6L, and that's a much more likely outcome which is what most people will experience
this is just personal prefference but I'd rather have to grind a big amount of materials for a GUARANTEED chance of getting the outcome I want, because that way I don't get my ass fucked by rng
>>164475105
I can understand why some people would like crafting. It's probably just my biased view on this matter, because when rng gives me the middle finger it leaves me feeling like all the effort put up to that point was for naught

I have a feeling I've done something wrong even though I've followed this build exactly:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1647240
I have Soul Taker near perfect rolls and using Cleave at the moment. My clear speed feels so slow and sluggish, any ideas how I could improve it?
I did manage to kill Merciless Izaro pretty easily, as well as Malachai, just to see if I could do it. And the only thing I had trouble with was the Ring of Fire, because Multistrike binds me into one place so I can't leap away exactly when I want.

So, I was thinking about trying Sunder with Concentrated Effect - Multistrike - Added Fire Damage.

I watched his videos as well, and my playstyle looks generally the same, but everything is so much slower. Is it because I'm still level 76, or is it just the build, how it plays?

Need help, am new.

For once I felt like using a new skill ( so BF ) and I quite liked the idea of that gladiator BF with max block, how it is tho ? expensive ?

I'd rather start with a life build but not play EQ.
any suggestion welcome

>>164482371
Why Ballistic Mastery? Why no Coordination? Why baby attack speed and accuracy with wands nodes instead of Depth Perception? Why Hex Master? Way too low ES % for a DW build which means no shield and using a 250 ES helmet, a lot of damage, not a lot of defenses, in fact what is even the point of CoE if you only get 12% spell damage from tree and a bit from your wands?

you probably want the Surrender and a really good foil end game, which can become expensive, it starts as really cheap though, depending on your league a 1c claw and a garbage rare 1c evasion shield should be enough to start

why do retards shit on blade flurry for being FOTM when it requires an adequate level of gear, minmaxing and metagaming to make it work?

compare it to any other retard friendly ez mode build and it's head and shoulders above all of them in terms of complexity

but bf does use CI

>>164483697
it has never been a problem until a few streamers pointed it out as being op and then reddit jumped on the band wagon, breach didn't help because noobs don't know what the fuck is going on.

I just had probably the hottest RNG streak of my POE life.

Found a Bino's, 2 ex, a divine, and a near-perfect Void Battery within about an hour.

>>164485195
it has been a problem since ascendancies, which directly buffed CI builds while doing nothing for life builds except for ranger or bserker (who can just go CI anyway if you want)

that none of the streamers you so love mentioned before doesnt change the fact that there has been a huge disparity between CI builds and life builds for a while

How strong is the primordial might pentagolem build? Like, on a scale of 1-Perandus-era Voltaxic sparkler?

I got a few lucky drops and kinda want to try it, but I might just be better off spending my currency on other shit if it's not that good.

>>164485195
>>164485483
Other anon is correct, traditionally ES had a higher health pool but came at the cost of mitigation. Whereas Life had supplementary defences armour / regen / dodge / leech. The problem is with unique flasks, leech, fortify etc ES can now maintain equivalent defence with life while having higher overall health.

>wasting 2s to wind up a punch

>>164485924
Well, I assume attack speed and/or reduced duration would speed it up, but still, it only hits once.

>>164485483
the only real change that made CI appeal to more people was the introduction of more stun immunity gear. before skyforth you need to run either a eye of chayula or get unwavering stance, which was a pain to travel to. if you didn't run eye of chyaula you couldn't play ci, you would get stun locked constantly. you stun is tied to your life, with ci your life pool is around 2500 (it's hidden but you have a life pool that is more than 1 that calculates stuns and freeze duration) which means stun city. what makes ci more appealing now is more ways to deal with stun, and the unbalanced monster damage, there are more dangerous elemental damage mobs than physical. vaal pact is irrelevant because any build can make use of it.

>>164485814

what does an offensive tactic have to do with discussing defensive strategies?

>>164485827

the times of "higher health pool but squish" where when 8k-10k es was considered a lot, and you had no basalt flasks, no aqua, no fucking vinktars or rumi based maxblock witches/shadow/rangers and you did indeed feel not that tanky under sustained damage

>>164486046
this is true. but node for node (including int travel ones), ES builds are simply much cheaper on the tree compared to life ones. add to this the flat ES you get from many ascendancies, CI multiplier, relative abundance of good cheap ES gear on the market compared to life gear, and its all part of a more complex thing

>>164486046
GGG really just needs to get over the whole "logout macros as a balance component" mentality. Make alt F4ing take 5 seconds to log you out. Then they don't have to make every fucking thing a one shot mechanic and can design around more consistent monster damage rather than spikes.

>>164486360
This is the source of all problems

>>164486046
>vaal pact is irrelevant because any build can make use of it.

the problem with VP is that if you plan to leech, you pretty much need it. and its downsides are much more noticeable on life builds since ES builds still have regular recharge

thanks zana

it's funny when shitbirds debate HC strategy

>>164486360
this desu

Make it so you can't ignore boss mechanics by simply having an OP build and you can't log out

Teleporting out should be a viable strategy since you have to either click the portal and then click the portal to escape or put it down and move to it at least


It sucks wanting to play hardcore but logging out being a forced meme just feels so fucking gross and unenjoyable to me

>get into risky situation
>lol me gone xD

there's absolutely no down-side to doing anything risky at all

>>164486743
its funny when HC players think they're doing anything else than playing a game for entertainment

>>164486237
1 travel point in strength is +2 flat life, 1 travel point of int is 1% es. there is more life on the tree, es has a higher ehp because is doesn't have physical mitigation. the problem isn't CI vs life, the problem is physical damage vs elemental damage. there is no reason anymore to stack phys mitigation , even a granite flask is over kill in most case.

>>164486914
Granite flask doesnt do shit against actual killer moves

anyway, it's much much much more convenient trying to link yourself and sell the 5L then buying the 6L directly

It's a very 'relaxed' build. It can clear everything very safely, but there's basically a hard limit to how fast it can go due to minion AI. It's not slow, but it's not quick either. It's like a 5, maybe a 6 if you have super GG gear.
