it goes without saying something is fucked when the full price AAA title is more 'pay2win' than the f2p title (because of the real money shit in d3)
Whirling blades and cyclone are amazing crowd control.
Even better when doing whirling blades regens both your mana and health with each hit (The HP gain is so much that my build entirely centers around the regen it gives me :v). It also stuns enemies so I can basically just keep passing through a large group without fear of attack to regen my health (28 hp gain per successful hit)

AH is going to go down permanently on March 18 and gold purchases are already shut down.

I tired a whirling blades shadow build a while ago, but ran into a mana problem, which broke it. That kind of build is extremely strange to play, because finding out if you are loosing more health than you are getting is extremely unreliable.

You really have to know to the single point of damage and regen that your enemies do to you and your equipment allows you for that. Or have such good gear that it doesn't matter anyway :P
Picking Whirling Blades as your damage ability is a really strange choice, it's more of a movement orientated ability like Leap Slam or Lightning Warp.

200 fusings in and I've not even seen a 5 link yet :/

Its effective for me though because I have a stun and a life steal gem connected to the whirling blades gem so I pretty much keep doing it without worrying about death. For tougher enemies I just spam double strike or viper strike.
I also have frenzy charge and flash so I can clear a room in a few seconds.
How does critical strikes with spell work? I know there's three different crit modifiers, Spell Crit, Crit and Crit Multiplier. I know that Spell Crit and Crit modifies the chance of you critting and multiplier determines the amount of damage your crit does.
I got one question and I can't find the answer. Does normal crit chance increase the chance of me criting with a spell? or is it only spell crit which increases that chance.
Example: I have X spell which has a 5% base crit and I have a Dagger. Let's say the dagger has 75% Increased Crit Chance and 75% Increased Crit Chance with Spells. Would that mean that X spell has 12.5% crit chance or only 8.75%?
Really want to know this stuff before I go off and blow a ton of Ex.

Spell Crit and Normal Crit are two seperate modifiers. Spell Crit only works for spells and normal crit is for Attacks.
In your example, your spells would only benefit from the 75% Increased Crit Chance with Spells.
there's a unique however that combines both modifiers into a single one for Attacks: [url]http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Crown_of_Eyes[/url]

I was told that Crown of Eyes doesn't work for Spell Crit, only for Spell Damage/Cast speed. Thanks for clearing that up anyway.

Could be right, I've never really looked into a Crown of Eyes build, I just thought Spell Modifiers turned into Attack Modifiers.

normal critical strike chance/damage nodes also work for spells
So I've finally beat the game once, and I still can't select the new class, even though I saved her from her cage in the 3rd act...
[QUOTE=Gate;44077583]normal critical strike chance/damage nodes also work for spells[/QUOTE]
the nodes do, but a Critical Strike Chance rolled on gear only affects Attacks and not Spells.
Spells need a Critical Strike Chance for Spells to be rolled on your item to gain increased crit chance from that.
For example:
Power Siphon is an Attack so it benefits from the normal Critical Strike Chance and its base crit is inherited from the Wand you have equipped.
Freezing Pulse is a Spell and it benefits from Critical Strike Chance for Spells on gear (normal crit chance in the tree does work). The base crit chance for Freezing Pulse is 6%.

More like 100-110 exalts
And it's the first guy to actually give a tip, most people don't give jack shit.
Still a bit sad that neither of those items dropped for myself, I would've liked a 3rd Shavronne's :v:

An unlinked normal shavronne's is 70-80 exalts nowadays. 6 Linked they go for 120-130 exalts
A 6 Link Legacy Shavronne's can go up to 240 exalts, so if you have a Legacy Shav, 6L that thing and swim in your exalts.
Damn im so hyped for this expansion.
Jesus christ gem prices are messed up. Sold 4 Increased Item Quantity gems, level 1 for 17 Chaos each..

There's speculation that the IIQ gem will become legacy in Hardcore / Standard seeing as they didn't drop in Domination / Nemesis.
People are trying to buy them before they actually go Legacy to try & make a profit.

All but confirmed by the devs in their post about the potential changes once the xpack hits.
I'm sure they wont go legacy, GGG likes playing around with different things when it comes to new leagues.
The new end-game boss fight sounds like a bit of a grindfeast. You first have to go through areas in the game to have a chance of finding a super-difficult area and at the end of that, there is a chance to find one of four map pieces that can get you to her, which you get the usual 6 portals to.
Imagine the group board being full of "LF Atziri" whereas only a few players actually have the map fragments, and those people may want to do it with friends or only accept people with some kind of ridiculous build to ensure success.
I guess this is an attempt to make more people play together, but it doesn't sound that interesting for a more casual player like myself. I'll try going through the game to find those corrupted areas when the new expansion is out, but most likely sell any map fragments I come across unless they are easier than I expect to find.
