    Path of Exile

    Personally, I'm going to give freezing pulse a try this league as, one, I've never used it before and, two, I'm super curious to try the threshold jewel that gives two extra freezing pulse projectiles. Two jewels and I have a "free" GMP. Is this enough to make freezing pulse good? That...

    Path of Exile

    The big changes are going to happen in between the ranger and shadow so I think your tree will only have minimal changes to deal with.

    That tree looks legit. I hope it works out for you.

    Path of Exile

    Skills are broken into two broad categories - spells and attacks - and you need to pay attention to various keywords on support gems and passive nodes to make sure that everything will work together. So, as you've seen, the Doryani's catalyst has no keywords attached to the life leech so it...

    Path of Exile

    The mana leech cluster you're taking only work with attack damage so your fireball spell will not work with those. Spec out of that and use the points to take a few mana / mana regen nodes. Even with those, though, you might need to run with a mana flask. I'd also recommend spending the two...

    Oh, and that build is best played with tornado shot or split arrow....

    Path of Exile

    I've played several variations on an elemental bow build using the "Storm Cloud" unique bow. It's dirt cheap and can be had from day one of the league for very little currency. It can then be upgraded to "The Tempest" via a prophecy and in that form it's good enough to take you into early end...

    "Best" android tablet (7-10″)

    I don't know the larger (9"-10") tablets but I bought my wife the 2013 Nexus 7 tablet and, so far as I understand there has been nothing better released since then. There's rumors of a new "Nexus 7" but nothing official yet. I'm really hoping for another premium 7" tablet as the special lady...

    Path of Exile

    I'm planning on playing a crit Shockwave totem build using Hierophant instead of going Ancestral Bond. Never played totems before so I thought I'd have a go. I gave it a trial run with an old standard character and ended up with 5k life + 2k ES for a big effective life pool. Combined with the...

    Path of Exile

    They made it possible to set any premium stash tab to public and to set prices and leave notes on any items in a public stash tab. But, yes, you still need to talk to people. So far as I understand GGG is loathe to do away with this aspect of trading as, one, they think the player interaction...

    Path of Exile

    Completely agree - the leveling process is far more compelling than it used to be. I have a feeling that chasing down prophecies will get old in time but, for now, it's tons of fun. I wanted to try the new frostbolt / vortex / ice nova combinations but I didn't want to to be a typical...

    Path of Exile

    Thanks man. I think this is the natural outcome of being addicted to this game. There's something about POE that makes it get stuck in the brain of a certain type of person and I fall very much into that personality type. Eventually you can't help but start to put together more and more...
