Crit Arc Elementalist Build, Can't Survive T16 Bosses (Specifically Chimera and Phoenix)

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 04:13 PM PDT

The guide I have been following : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1147951.

This character is in Blight and I have a budget of 2 exalts and 100 chaos. I am getting one shot by the Chimera and Phoenix bosses in their respective T16 maps. My resistances are capped except chaos and I don't know where to put more life into my gear. My damage is low against the tougher bosses and rares and I run out of flask charges during boss fights. I have beaten both the Minotaur and hydra bosses multi times but I can't beat the 2 remaining bosses despite many attempts.

Questions:

One of my helmet suffixes is innervate. Should I keep the golem 4-link in the helmet or put another link setup in there.
What should I spend my currency on to improve the dps and survivabillity?
Which amulet should I use or should I replace them as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for reading this hopefully. I have been stuck at t16 maps for a while now.

Looking to break into Hardcore, unsure on a build.

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 07:46 PM PDT

I think I'd like to go Consecrated Path as a main skill if I can make that work, it is a fun skill. I'd likely be a Marauder, I feel like Berserker would be best for clearspeed and such but I don't know if the lack of defenses will be worth it in HC. Was also considering some kind of Brutus' Lead Sprinkler Chieftain build. Would those be pretty good in HC? What else might be interesting to do in HC?

Looking for a new build, dying too much

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 02:15 PM PDT

I'm playing BV assassin with 4 link ice herald, running T16 towers with 4 sextants and random scarabs, alch/vaaled. It clears fast but dies to random chaos degen and 1 shots from oil bosses, 5.3k life.

I have 5 ex in currency and a HH.

Looking for alternatives, something maybe ranged but needs to be tankier, scales with gear (so I have something to invest in) but can start it with 5 ex (I already have 6 link inpulsa, carcass, loreweave).

Questions about Arakaali's Fang LL Aegis Guardian build

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 08:37 AM PDT

So originally I was following this guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2554248

But during mapping, the spiders killed most mobs before I could even hit them with cyclone to get virulence stacks up. And it's painful to kill worms with the tiny cyclone aoe (I can't see where the worms are when the screen is a mess / the HoA often killed worms before I could), so I dropped the HoA altogether.

Now I've a couple of questions on what to do next:

What auras should I use instead of HoA. Right now I've replaced HoA with malevolence (coz spiders poison on hit and I'm using withering touch support on them and I've despair on hit on gloves?) & dread banner... Are there better choices? Should I go with Hatred and not focus on poison?
What gems should I use in my chest (a 5L at the moment), now that the HoA is gone? I just put zombies / golem there as I think having a bunch of targettable minions that can taunt helps with defending blight lanes. Idk if it actually works that way, it's just my impression. But they die very often and it's annoying.
Since I dropped HoA I don't need cyclone to apply poison, I'm using storm brand to apply despair on hit and to kill the spiders. Are there better options? Sometimes the storm brands target other monsters and don't kill the worms, then my zombies slammed all the worms :(
Sometimes I die to random damage over time and idk how to deal with them, as I can't use flasks to regen my energy shield. And I have -60% chaos res...

Anyway, this is my pob: https://pastebin.com/i7fseYUE (Idk if my config is correct at showing actual dps).

I'm looking to kill uber elder (there is one in my atlas right now) but I have absolutely no idea if my build is good enough to even attempt doing that. In fact, I just defeated Shaper for the first time yesterday, it was surprisingly easy and boring though (perhaps summoners are just too good this league). Any advice on how to improve my build (or how to get ready for uber elder) is welcomed!

P.S. idk why pob say otherwise, but I have 7778 ES, 75/75 block.

Edit: Oh timeless jewel doesn't work on pob :/ MoM is changed to Glancing Blows by the Lethal Pride jewel equipped nearby, which doubles block chance.

Confused about build differences

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 06:23 PM PDT

I'm pretty new to poe and just ditched my elemental arc build to level a necromancer (loved the playstyle in d3), and im wondering what the differences between these 2 builds are? I understand they probably focus on different skills, but i just don't understand why since they seem to use most of the same skills. I started leveling through the speaker of the dead guide, but suprisingly the skill tree is pretty different than the spectre one.

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2181275

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2242389

Hope someone can help me understand the mechanics and why every build are different even though they seem so similar to me.

Also the previous diablo player in me wonders why there seem to be no "meta standard" builds a lot of players go straight for and are super popular? Or am i just bad at searching?

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 06:03 PM PDT

What's a really fast clear speed build for SSF low tier maps?

Posted: 06 Oct 2019 12:47 PM PDT

^title^ SSF ; I have some rarity and quant uniques, sadimas/perandus blazon/thiefs torment/andvarius and I have my atlas setup in ssf for tier 3 pen farming and I'm wondering what would be the best build for clearing the map fast with rarity/quant gear. I was thinking maybe bv elementalist so i could use rarity support on a herald or something. Or maybe a bow build but I'm not sure how good it will be without abyss jewels but I do have a max roll storm cloud. Just looking for some chill low tier farming on ssf
