I got my hands on a Quill Rain, because I don't have a Blood Magic gem yet I run out of mana too fast if I use it myself, so I just put in on a Ranged Attack Totem.
It is really funny, it fires almost thrice a second, each arrow deals a pitiful <50 damage but each explosion stack deals 80-120.

Cast with Damage Taken probably doesn't work with Molten Shell, does it?
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;42727524]Cast with Damage Taken probably doesn't work with Molten Shell, does it?[/QUOTE]
It does, actually!
An amazing defensive 4 Link is: Cast on Damage Taken / Enduring Cry / Immortal Call / Molten Shell
Don't level up Cast on Damage Taken and it triggers almost everytime you get hit.
That 'wealthy' mod wasn't kidding around...

Now to get some other decent gear and the build is ready to roll
I'm always more interested in the quotes on the unique items than I am of their stats.
I'm playing a level 28 HC Templar currently having a good time with Weapon Elemental>Splash>Glacial Hammer, along with a lightning smash, a firestorm with added cold, which also gives cold to my animated guardian. I have raise zombie in there but I don't have space on my hotbar for it since I put temporal chains in to have a curse ready, and it's not that useful to me anymore in my opinion. Oh and lets not forget my faithful molten armour and fireball. Fireball isn't as used now that I have other area and ranged attacks from my hammer, so I'll probably throw that for support gems when the time comes along, but molten armour is brilliant, the 200+armour means my energy shield lasts a good long time in combat and generally makes me pretty damn durable while also giving great damage. Overall, things go: have a guardian made of loot I don't want, spot enemies, cast molten shell, run at enemies, temporal chains, some firestorm to mild burn and freeze and some crowd control, then depending con crowd density and dispersal plus resistances I'll either use lightning strike or glacial hammer, since they deal about the same damage overall now. Re-cast molt as needed. Run and let me ES charge if needed, maybe make another guardian while double checking for chromatic items, then run in and repeat. Generally there's a lot of explosions and groups of shattering people and taking down stragglers with bolts of hammer lightning. I have fun.
Alright, so here's my build right now: [url]http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAAnEEswVbDhQUTRhdGekkizKJRtdN2F3GYG1nWHflfLuBb4M4hMSLjIx2m-ydgJ48qWjLQ93z3sHhc-St7SA=[/url]
Which is kinda a mess but as long as I'm having fun, it's good. Anyway, bare with me but this is somewhere between me going crazy on a tree and where I see my build going. It's a mess, it will probably make proper build builders ill. I am sorry.

I have no idea what order I'm going for that in. Not sure if I want to pop over for shaper or head down to that lovely cluster of damage and no-evasion.
Actually, that's a thing, is there a difference between miss and evasion? Because I have been working on the basis that there is on this but if I remember then there isn't in which case all points in accuracy are kinda wasted but then again they give damage aaaaagh I don't know. I'll build it how I build it, if I make mistakes I make mistakes.
But I am open to suggestions, it should be obvious that I want a somewhat tanky damage dealing maceman, got a good health/ES balance going for me, and want to use a lot of magic. I burn through mana fast enough with my current splash ice hammer.
is there a site that lists about what items are worth?
i wanna do some trading but don't wanna get ripped off

Flavor text makes the world go round.
That aside, I'm a level 15 Summoner Witch. It's pretty good so far, but fighting Brutus was a pain since I hadn't found any skill gems that weren't useless for a caster sans the obvious Raise Dead. So I beat him with pretty much exclusively normal attacks.
[QUOTE=MrFlashcat;42720731]Nice, I'd like to map together sometime. What kind of character & gear are you running with?
I'm a Lv. 85 Lightning Arrow Ranger, here's my gear if you're interested :v:

Probably the most currency i've pumped into a single character so far, but it's so worth it Lightning Arrow is amazing and the crit is so satisfying.[/QUOTE]
Wow. I have nothing to compare :v:
Level 73 Spectral Throw Scion, haven't even gotten my 5L yet.

It's a good deal, you should take it.

It's a good amulet. But not dick sucking good.

I guess your dick sucking ability is higher prized than mine.
[QUOTE=Rents;42731839]I guess your dick sucking ability is higher prized than mine.[/QUOTE]
I'm a dick sucking virgin, so that might be why.
I started playing this and i'm finding it fun as fuck. I never played any real hack and slash loot 'em ups before this so it's really nice and refreshing. Also lighting arrow ranger is op as fuck.

The game runs like absolute shit (because ggg refuses to add a way to tone down/remove particles), so everything is on minimum.

Say what? It runs on my 5 years old PC with 50-60 FPS.
On fully maxed settings, forgot to mention.
I'm having fun with spectral throw shadow. ALso it's me, or leveling up on this game is fast and not tedious at all?

A few days Ago I remembered Why i stopped playing the beta back in january
Every time I entered to some areas my game crashed (ran out of memory), the game got optimized since then
FlashCat, little question about that RoA build- Do you get any DPS at all ?
Because right now it's seriously embarrassing, what's the point of all that health and lifesteal when i don't have the damage to keep my life full ?
Looks like 21% increased item rarity makes a significant difference. I'm finding a lot more rare items around. Stuffed two of them in the guild leveling gear; a sharktooth claw and an oiled vest.

Is that in standard? i could use them for my shadow
Yes, it is in standard. I think they're around level 15-20, but I didn't check their stats too much. All I know for sure is that the claw had a little bit of fire damage.

I'm having the same problem at around lvl 22, Flashcat told me that getting support gems increases the damage alot.
Frenzy also helps alot so try and get that as soon as possible.
Wow, the generosity of strangers in this game. I have a thread on the forum where I sell some items and one thing I offer is very cheap gems(3 Chromatic Orbs each)
Some guy buys a Spell Totem gem from me, even though I asked for 3 Chromatics he insisted in giving me [b]6 Chaos Orbs[/b] for it. Just baffling, really made my day.

I have no idea why you guys are having DPS problems, when I said RoA isn't too gear dependent I didn't mean you never have to upgrade your gear.
Also, try to get some support gems linked to Rain of Arrows, if you don't have Concentrated Effect, just buy it in Trade Chat, it's not that expensive (1-2 alch on standard should get you one) and it adds a lot of damage.
As a reference, when I leveled up my Ranger I read Gankstaboo's guide to help me decide which main skill I could use and Rain of Arrows looked really strong, he also used it himself. Gankstaboo is taking a break from PoE at the moment, so his guide is outdated, especially with the 1.0.0 update but you could still pick out a few pointers

I'd have to buy concentrated effect/weapon ele damage but i have no idea how much these go for, and even then, that increase doesn't sound like a lot.
Just saw the above post, i'll try buying it and post the results later.
