I want to switch to the BV pathfinder, but those prices...... @Deathmanza, how did you afford that ****? Roughly 6Ex for the Vinktar, 4 for taste of hate and 30C for rumi's. That is not even starting on Div or Carcass, which I feel are secondary items really. The flasks are all mandatory, but how the heck did you get the currency for all of it?
My Gladiator is wearing about 2Ex worth of gear, give or take. I might have a fair amount of C in Alchs, Jewels and fusings, but nowhere near enough to even come close to buying just 1 of those flasks.

Robbed POE bank account. Farming etc.

Tough league.:crylaugh:

 

[DTBA]

:crylaugh: Done 25+ trails or so. not even including the ones that are from my friend map and I am still missing 1 trail .

with 100+ maps done I really need to do the last lab but the Trial of Lingering Pain just does not want to spawn for me !

 

[HowTo]

Morning

I finished my maps challenge.
Still need to do Warbands leaders (2 left). Still need one Essence of Insanity. (Bought the other two) Then this challenge is done.

Then I will farm for currency to buy last set of keys for the 4 bosses and then the final boss. I'm to weak to do this on my own. Will get help to do this.
I hope I will complete this in the middle of the month.
Made a bad choice when I did this character. I'm not doing another character. You get tired of levelling your character up.

Once I'm at level 36 that is me for Essence league. Will play a bit on standard.

Also watch some series in between.

Farmed my backside off

I am almost fully geared now, just missing a 6l Carcass... The 5l is starting to lack. Really struggling with the Guardians.

I have pretty much completed my atlas. All I have left is -

- Core
- The guardians
- Shaper
- Unique maps, think I have done 5.

For the life of me I can not get my life above 5k... I need at least 6.5k.

I am just over lvl 80 now with my EQ jugg. Life just went over 5k, all res capped but chaos res is still negative. Will buy a better amulet with chaos res to fix this. Armour I can't remember but it is more than 40% mitigation. I have 9 endurance charges, and with Kaoms Way ring that is 3,6% regen I think. Also have life leech of about 3%. Problem is some bosses still whack me, but I think that is because of chaos res. It was a map with 3 skeleton bosses, including the one with the poison arrows. He 1 shot me a few times. Only up to lvl 8 maps, and it is starting to get a bit harder. But if I have my charges up it is not too bad. Still have a few levels to go. Anything else I can do to get tougher?

Pretty much this. Easiest thing to do. Also they generally complete the trial first, so all you have to do is run through, complete trial.

O wow thank you guys! :? damnit if I only knew!

Can someone explain how you did the Excavation Map?

What do you mean?

The bosses?

Personally just face tank em. Actually ran a twinned map with twinned prophecy and facetanked all 12

I used to struggle with my EQ Jugg as well.

For some reason I can't But ill double check why just got the map as a drop and they wrecked my face. To lazy to read up maps till I die

I did my budget.
1) Warbands have 2 Maps to run in a rotation. Still need 2 bandits to hit the dust.
2) Essence need one to finish. 5C or myself.
3) The shaper guardians 4 maps 100C. Need to see if fragments drop for the shaper himself. Could be more then 100C depends on RNG. Will shape them to receive better drops.
4) Once I have those fragment to the shaper. Hope I don't have to do the process over at all, point 3.

I'm currently level 33 need 3 more points. Shaper I will not do you. Not required other wise my trophy goes to poe.

Then I'm done for Essence. Normal will see me slightly more .

And if I might see something better drop then a bath room mirror How knows? :erm:

 

[SaiyanZ]

I just broke 300k tooltip dps on my Kinetic Blaster yesterday. Only thing is damage is too high now so I end up one-shotting myself on elemental reflect rares. Think will remove Anger and use Purity of Lightning since half of my damage is lightning. Kind of sucks to reduce damage though just because of reflect.

Unfortunately for the EQ Jugg, it is all about Max HP and Armour. Also your flasks being optimised will help, if they are not already. And actually using your flasks properly will also help a lot.
I find that the only time I get stomped with my tanky characters, is when I YOLO it and forget to preflask before the first hit.

Making sure you have fortify on is also an important factor.

Here is a list of mechanics that you can leverage to boost your tankiness, under certain conditions of course.
1) Optimise flasks and use them correctly.
2) Utilise the blind mechanic (As long as you dont have unwavering stance activated on the tree) Blind is incredible. So a stibnite flask is a good option.
3) Modify your gear to include armour and evasion rating. This goes hand in hand with the blind mechanic.
4) Bring enfeeble into your build, instead of warlords. The requirement here is to find enough mana leech to sustain your EQ spam on a single target. Not sure what that is exactly. If you can get a 0.4% mana leech on your gloves, that would probably sustain you. I guess you have other lifesteal besides warlords, so that shouldn't be too bad. Your HP regen and actually using your life flask, should compensate enough in most cases. To ensure that you can get Endurance charges up on demand, put enduring cry on a weapon swap. Sometimes it is a bit dangerous to go into a boss fight and hope that his first hit is gentle and procs your 20% chance to get an endurance charge on being hit.

If you can stack 2,3 and 4 together successfully, They layer and amplify one another much more than you might think. Have a look at the wiki to get an indepth understanding of it, and watch Ziggy D's video on Enfeeble and evasion stacking. But basically, enfeeble reducing a monster's accuracy, will directly increase your chance to evade, because of how the formula works.
Blind is then layered ontop of, so an additive effect instead of a multiplicative one. Because blind's formula uses your final chance to evade as one of the formula parameters.

You can go from a 15% chance to evade, and boost that to like 22% with enfeeble. Then adding blind would increase that to about 39% or so.
You can see how all of those together can really stack up. If you absolutely cannot find a way to weave enfeeble into your setup. Then at least get as much evasion as possible, and use a stibnite flask to multiply that evasion and blind nearby enemies with a smoke cloud.

Finally, if you don't already. Make sure to have one of every elemental resist flask, well rolled and at the ready for boss fights that do heavy elemental damage. Elemental damage is the biggest danger to you, so knowing your enemy and boosting your max resist by 6% with the correct flask at the right time, is your strongest tool to deal with that.

My character is just about managing tier 8/9 maps, but will need to do some major gear upgrades to get higher. My damage is okay, but I'm super squishy and struggle with the small arena fights.

Quite liking the new and revamped maps.

Thanks for the tips!

I have fortify in my EQ setup so that is always active. Actually need to buy a 5L Marohi to improve my damage now, still on 4L. (a 5L marohi is much cheaper than trying to 5L my own, go figure...)
Flasks can use some work, will look into that. (also the ele res flasks).
Don't have unwavering stance yet, so will look at blind as well.
No evasion yet, but will see with next upgrades if i can get that.
Will try and get enfeeble in somewhere. Currently running haste (this is based on the lab runner build) and herald of ash, can swap haste for something else. Maybe blasphemy and enfeeble will be good. Also have enduring cry as self cast, to get charges before a fight. Currently not using IC anymore, the damage mitigation and life regen from charges seem more useful.

Cheers

Oh yeah, definitely have enfeeble over haste then. I mean haste is great and all, but if you are looking for ways to survive, enfeeble is your friend. Double blue socket required though for blasphemy enfeeble. Easy 25 chromes at the artisan bench.

IC is actually really strong with a Juggernaut though. Because you can have the immortality up for a long time with so many charges. And with that ascendancy combo of 20% chance to get a charge on taking a hit + gaining an endurance charge makes you gain max charges instantly. You basically get your charges back while IC is up. If you don't have that combo, then dont consider IC. If you do, then it is 50/50 really. The consistent charges up all the time is amazing anyway, as you say.

Get a stibnite flask and enfeeble, even without evasion rating on your gear, this combo is great. Adding evasion just scales it into awesomeland.

Good luck though. Breaking through the mid tier barrier is always the hard part.... Not done it too many times myself. I am constantly chugging a "Perpetual Reroller's Flask of Short Attention Span".

Haha, yeah. I tried the EQ jugg hoping it would be very survivable so that I can at least try the mid to high tier content. Previously got to about T10 only. Problem now is my skill level But often it is a small change that makes a big difference, so I will keep at it.

Point 1 is done.
Point 2 need still that essence of Insanity.
Point 3 This is a nightmare. Wasted two maps and got nothing in return. Sorry got some maps from it.

Point 3 Switched over to Div..Cards. Sold my remaining maps to recover some currency. Completed so far 5, two to go. Now need some currency again. Siting on 0C
