PoE is a very potion heavy game I've found, at least early on.
Feel free to spam potion use because they refill every time a monster dies so you don't have to worry about running out of potions unless you don't have any more monsters to kill. Always helps to run into a mod and immediately pop a potion as soon as you make contact because it'll get refilled almost immediately and you'll have a big health revive thing going on for a bit.
I've been playing a witch focusing on minions lately. It's not a very impressive build, I've mostly just started out with focusing on buffing minions and ice damage before only reaching for perks that buff minions. The only damaging skills I have on my own are ice spear and ice nova. As for my minions, I only have zombies and spectres, I don't think I managed to find any skeleton gems anywhere. I've gotten these gems linked to minion damage and minion health and I use clarity to compensate with the ridiculous mana cost this gives them.
It worked fine at first, I ran through the Vaal pyramid with zombies doing most of the work for me while finishing everything off by spamming ice nova. Unfortunately, Act 3 has gradually made it seem less useful. This has now climaxed at the point where I have to fight Dominus, who mildly said one-shots me now.
To compensate with this, I started running with random parties for the first time. Naturally, with no experience on doing so whatsoever, I had no idea what I was doing. The first party was me running after a marauder in a dungeon who exploded everything while the rest of the party cried for "tp" in the chat. The next couple of games I spent with a bunch of people standing in a huge corpse pile while we were all wondering why the quest was "bugged".
So to shorten it up: My build is getting worse and I don't know how to socially interact with people playing video games. I don't think I will survive the next difficulty anyway, but I think it may be worth a shot to get horribly murdered and gain negative experience.
Here's hoping I learn from this when trying out new builds.
The lesson there is that every build needs HP nodes.

My first witch (which I royally fucked up the skill tree of) was a summoner. They're very terrible at low levels, but are pretty OP at high levels.
if you want to roll another summoner, you could try following this build:

you will most likely need to play with other people while playing through some of the tougher sections of the game though.
I remember the build being effective against large groups of weak enemies, but I always get my ass handed to me by bosses.
That build does look interesting, though. I didn't know you could link melee support gems to minions.

I'm working on that atm, haven't had any problems yet solo up to mid-cruel.
Just hit lv65 on my Nemesis Spectral Throw Marauder. I think I might go for that challenge where you have to hit lv65 on every class.
Making a Ethereal Knifes Scion now, based on Ziggyd's one.

I also found a 11% Ethereal Knifes like 10 minutes ago so this is perfect :v:

[QUOTE]Cast On Damage Taken: The level requirement of gems augmented by Cast on Damage Taken may not exceed the level requirement of the Cast on Damage Taken gem. Edit: Many people seem to be reading this wrong.[/QUOTE]
Certainly couldn't see this one coming. :v:
Interesting solution, though.
[QUOTE=Unib5;42840767]Certainly couldn't see this one coming. :v:

I feel like this was a poor solution to the 'problem'.
They should have just made it so the gem reserves like x00% of the mana cost of each linked skill.
another suggestion i saw on reddit and would like to see is to keep that nerf and then have it account for damage pre-mitigation, that way the gem will trigger almost as often but still needs to be leveled
Are there any guides for shadow? I'm mostly focusing on dexterity but I dunno if I should be. I'm quite low level (13) so any info would be appreciated.
May not be optimal, but I think I'm finally comfortable with this passive tree

i almost died on nemesis in the hedge maze thanks to desync

My first time into the hedge maze I ran into 4 of those devourer things at once. One was a unique and one was a rare... I died so fast :(
I feel like I've set up myself for failure. I don't know what I'm specing towards, and I feel like I'm just gonna screw myself over later into the game. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can play as a solo? That chaos inoculation thing sounds cool, but so does blood magic. I would like to play something with high dps, but again since I would play playing solo I don't know what I should run. If anyone has a good guide from start to finish on how to play a certain class that would be nice, noob friendly and all. Sorry if I'm annoying, I just want to get into this game but don't want to screw myself over later.
Am I missing something about Dominus's [sp]final form[/sp] or is it one of those boss fights you have to lose? Because his global bleeding damage kills me instantly and feels cheap as shit.

Stay near him doing that. There's a bubble around him where you won't bleed.
i'm currently playing at nemesis as EA scion lvl 60, could I get an invite to the guild ? my ing is angelomertel

Right, I'd go back and try again but by now my portals probably disappeared and I can't be fucked going through the upper scepter again.
oh my god i think the imperial gardens got blocked off by a cart in this map
[img]http://i.imgur.com/fmX8kJo.jpg[/img]
i've literally searched every inch of everything else, and only 4 monsters remain, and this is the only uncovered section left with no way around that cart.

That happened to me before in the Imperial Gardens. Leap Slam actually lets you jump those bugged blockages.

well too bad i don't have one of those on nemesis. oh well i guess i'll run through that map for the 3rd time..
and whoops forgot that this bug is getting fixed in the next patch already. good to know that i encountered it before it was fixed at least~
What does it mean when it says on the item "Quality +20%" for example?
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;42846513]What does it mean when it says on the item "Quality +20%" for example?[/QUOTE]
if it's a chestpiece/head/hand/foot: increased armor/evasion/energy-shield
gem: it depends on the gem
weapon: increased damage
flasks: more sustenance
