Hey Travic, heres a tip, instead of manually swapping your gems, you could instead keep a unset ring in your inventory, and have your skill gems and support gems inside your skill tab. Whenever you need to swap to your bossing setup, you just equip the unset ring and swap the order of your skills that you dont need to the lowest, and then just equip your main ring on again. Also, thanks for the update on the build, altough i dont know if i will change from the ring just yet, as im missing a lot of spirit since ive changed into grand regalia armor.
I tried it and it sounded good at the beginning but overtime I realized that its bad for mapping as the skill meditate gets interrupted buy mobs when hit during that 2 seconds. It might be a good tech for bossing though.
Hey Trav, thank you for the video! The faster mediate is great and I switched to the new herald tech but since I dont have a second ring I kept the unique ring and the explosions feel better with the new setup.
I dropped charge infusion long time ago and picked up Grim Feast , you just walk forward and get 2-3k ES per second. You will never die in a breach again.
btw people seeing this. For the swap tree, you want to try to avoid nodes that increase you overall energy shield because it would then take longer to meditate to full.
@@1LotusNoirit makes sense. Say with wand and focus you get to 13k max. But once you swap back to staff you only get 10k max ES. The extra 3K ES is wasted anyways, so it makes zero sense to charge up to 13K ES in the first place.
I've been running Arctic Armour and it synergizes extremely well with Polcirkeln the unique ring. When a mob hits you, you damage it with cold damage and it triggers the cold explotion from the herald, entire mob pack goes boom. Also using this i saved some passive skill points cause i didn't feel the need to spend points in increased stun threshold. Beware of ranged mobs tho, those can still stun lock you.
@@Travic_ Playing IceStrike since first minute of PoE2 launch, 5k hours in PoE1. I would like to share builds probably with you if you want to do these kind of stuffs.
HEY man been watching your videos and getting lots of tips, i literally spent the last day setting this up and i found what is so much funner is ditching the focus for a shield for shield charge, the rate recharge is just a bit slower but you can warp around the map with shield charge it's soooo satisfying. Thanks for the videos been enjoying them as a casual! P.S. ambush is a must support gem for storm wave if that is your main clear if you have 50% base crit it doubles it so it's always a gauranteed crit for everthing thats on full life.
That is not how Crit is calculated. Doubling your crit from 50% to 100% does not make it a guaranteed Crit, it simply adds 100% more of the base Crit value. So if your staff has 10% then you get 100% Crit; you now have 20% Crit.
Hey travic, just a thought. I noticed in the tree that 3 points are used for freeze build up. Just below chaos inoculation you can pick up 3 nodes that will give you 40% freeze buildup(5% more) 10 % cold dameage(5%more) and 50% damage to frozen enemies... cheers.
they are actually not one divine they are 30ex. the trade site is bugged and counts one divine to be worth 4ex and that's why they show up first. set price to only show exalted to see what things actually cost. ALWAYS do a quick check to see prices in exalted first.
@@isoldmymumforrp5371 If I'm not mistaken, it's not bugged, it's just that the trade site is still using the old conversion rate, when the div was still worth only few exalts. Players/market raised its price, but the site didn't get updated with the new values (which are changing fast every day anyways).
I've been experimenting with dropping shattering palm for glacial cascade + tempest flurry and adding elemental conflux Not sure how efficient it is but its alot of fun gives me close range and distance along with the explosions
I was running Don's Setup without Polcirkeln with Ice Strike. Not sure how much of this is interchangeable, but I remember getting good "Pops" without Polcrikeln until I switched over to your CI tree. DIFFERENCES: +40% Freeze build up from the notables just under the CI node on the tree. -Coming Calamity nodes also helped Heralds do more damage, but hard to fit into CI tree unless you grab the Controlled Metamorphosis jewel to shave off the small passives (but then I have resistance issues) -Ice Strike + I am the Thunder vs. Tempest Flurry + I am the Blizzard: -H.O Ice: Innervate vs. Cold Mastery -H.O. Thunder: Lightning Mastery, Ambush, Long Shot vs. Cold Infusion + Neural Overload + Electrocute (Maybe Don or other creators have evolved their Herald Supports to what you're showing- hard to know how people are landing on these Supports due to how hard everyone is hitting- difficult to test) I was also stacking a couple "Herald Skills deal 25% more Damage" jewels, but the CI version really want Sapphires for ES. Bottom line; there are a lot of little edges that are adding up to make this work in CI and Polcrikeln alleviates a lot of those pressures (not having good ingenuity + breach rings, premium gloves, perfect resistances)
Have you tried going Eternal Youth? Poebota was using it and i also started using it last 2 days and i rarely die since i can always press that life flask that regens my ES. About the ring nerf, i would rather be afraid of them nerfing Heralds interaction since i don't think they wanted them to chain of each other.
Everything is fully explained in the mobalytics if you have questions about the jewels in more depth stop by the stream or ask in the discord help channels.
How embarassing! It didnt save in the description thank you for pointing this out - here you go I fixed it ! mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/dee73cb0-b036-4541-a167-fc00d11f9016/builds/95bcf850-0947-4e6c-b231-9160bf1cc5b0
Want a tech? Put Supercritical + Ambush on Tempest Bell. For some reason bell seems to count as a full life enemy so you get 100% crit chance (100% more) AND 100% increased critical damage bonus.
Whenever i try to use mediate with wand and focus equipped on weapon set 2 it switches back to weapon set 1 and does it with the quarterstaff, how did you get around this?
Question: Would this herald build would work better if you add Herald of Ash to the mix? I think there is a passive clump up top that boosts all 3 + I think bell does more damage the more ailments it has applied to it. Given it will be another skill with 5 supp skill slots, this opens up even more options...
yea thinking the same. An extra ring is great but im running out of skill slots not ring slots tbh. the only reason he was even remotely struggling on the breaches was because he didnt have grim feast.
@@NidaGsuswell he could drop the blink to use grim feast to be honest. Blink is great for bossing, but general mapping, Grim feast is too good to pass up.
@xjackietranx blink is mandatory for me, depends on your build/damage but I do by far enough damage so just need survivability. Blink away from mass explosions into a meditate when in danger is clutch. I do have hands of wisdom and action though so maybe you need the extra herald damage - all gear dependant on the person.
I think this tech will be really good if they nerf heralds of ice so it can't chill which would be the way they would likely nerf it to not synergies with the ring
For my gemling brothers and sisters that want to experience this tech with even better explosion: Step 1: Grab a Pillar with cold damage corrupt and/or 2 cold damage rune in both socket Step 2: Stack strength Step 3: Put cold infusion in Herald of thunder Bonus step: grab an Against the darkness jewel with strength % and/or lightning/cold damage as extra damage You can use storm wave for even more clear.
Since you have so much energy shield adding “% of maximum energy shield added to stun threshold” would make you essentially never get stunned. This I believe is only on sapphire jewels.
If i dont have the divines to buy a ingeuity belt.. and i plan on sticking with the plreiken ring build, what 4th support gems should i use for the herald of ice and thunder? Should i still change the gems for the same one as this build?
Are we acually forced to allocated passive skills for the different weapon sets? i thought passives would apply for both when not selecting a specific set?
Honestly, I would drop charge infusion for it. The defense it provides is excellent, and the bump that charge infusion gives you isn't worth constantly losing those charges. If it provided that bonus per charge, I would 100% take it, but it doesn't matter if you have one (1) or one hundred (100) charges; you get the same bonus. When running between areas or backtracking, it is nice to reserve those charges for powering up charged staff and losing charges that quickly suck... :) Thanks again for listening.
Ethernal Youth Passive Skill is a must have for pure energy shield build. so you don't need to run way and can use Life Flask to immediately up your shield instead of life
I think Charged Staff is a bit "extra", IDK, I can't decide. I'm running Charge Infusion though, and the attack (skill) speed feels very good. Sometimes I even swap to Ice Strike because of it.
Hey is it a must that I switch to this will I be fine with the old set up I like the last one a lil better and finally got it to fully come online ??? Also I’m on console the switching weapons mid fight kinda hard
If what you’re doing now is cruising and kicking ass then don’t change a thing. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I’m just helping to showcase progression. Stay with what is comfortable to you
Hello thanks for the nice update video ! Your gems support setup might be improved a little bit. (rage support one) Using a crimson jewel with rage on it seems to be more efficient and work with all of monk attack skills (bell , tempest flurry, both heralds, charged staff) If you have room for 1 jewel swap you should try it out see how it feels :)
When do you swap to your second set up and why? You cant attack whilst the wand is out, just switches to staff. If I meditate with wand setup the shield values go back to that of the staff..Love the set up though!
The wand is used to cut the mediate time in half not give you more energy shield. Just makes meditate go from ~5 seconds to 2. Then you just press your attack button and it auto swaps back
Theres a stun node in the controlled metamorphisis jewel that helps. Theres also a stun wheel called mortification i think its called. You can run that until you get stun protection elsewhere
@@Travic_ My immediate thought was to think attribute was more dmg, but after seeing how much lightning added rings can reach, did some math and you need like 40% increased int to get the same number, though that doesn't take into account the atkspd from dex and now I'm super brain fried to figure it out xD
Hey, I have a question regarding Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond - which circle version will cover Pure Power, Lightning Quick, Drenched, Eldritch Will? Massive or Very Large?
I'm also running the unique chest but with the +10% rarity, and +5% attributes, for each socketed rune/soul core. I then proceeded to socket in 4x +10% item rarity soul cores into the chest. Yes, I am that greedy.
and 4, this is very useful for us mad lads in SSF that just can't get the ring to drop lol. So is the TLDR make HoI shock and make HoT freeze so they proc each other?
The es increase is not coming from your weapons, it's coming from the shield overcap mechanic that doubles your es on overcharging. He's using the weapon swap to increase es charge speed from meditate.
You only care to have your energy shield doubled. Your not doing it for the EXTRA BOOST from the weapon swap your doing it to increase the speed it happens. You maintain max 100% overcap when you swap back of whatever your base energy shield is at the time. Exmaple if you have 5k in your main hand you goto 10k, if you have 6k in offhand you goto 12, when you overcap at 6k to 12k and swap back you go to 10k its the same shield matching a 100% of your main. You only do the weapon swap so that time it takes to go from 5k->10k is 1.5-2 seconds vs 5-6 seconds
@Travic_ like they have waves of electricity popping around them while mine/other youtubers' are blue spheres. maybe something to do with different graphic settings?
If Ice strike has better single target damage and better Freeze,but worse clear wouldn't it be good to use now since the Heralds help do the AOE and clearing for you?
yes. i think ice strike is the optimal skill for this herald tech. I've also stacked 100% increased herald damage with jewels and maxed crit in the tree and ice strike herald chain is absolutely filthy. currently wiping pt t14 maps with 215% rarity at level 80
I would disagree about the worse clear speed due to one build. Ice strike buffed by charged staff is really bonkers. I avoided electricity for so long but after testing it today there's no going back. It is blowing up every mob around the map so fast that it looks like I'm using flicker strike. Although I do have tons of attack speed/skill speed, HOI and pol ring makes it clear super fast. I never noticed that charged staff could be used with any staff ability. You basically get a super ice strike with it
How much ES should I gather on items (without the passiv points) before considering to switch? I dont want to pay the respec just to find me lacking on ES to make use of meditation
@@Travic_ i have almost all energy shield multiplier nodes, and i still dont get the return you and other pc players do, same with my damage. Theres something im missing and i just dont know what it is, losing my mind over it 😅
Sadly I do not know how to do it on a controller. I would say check the options and look for the button configuration options and see if you can set a manual weapon swap
Hey travic, I was curious about something, when I used the chaos inoculation I did a map and it was going great then I just insta died but still had my shield. What causes this to happen? Sorry I know it's a dumb question but I have no idea
I was reluctant to use meditate at first because it is so slow and Grim Feast is a better alternative. With this, I am going back to meditate and I get to save 30 spirit for something else.
Ya i panicked and didn’t know what to do in the heat of the moment. If meditate was a quick swap versus a manual swap I wonder if the outcome would of been different
@@NoblesseOblige-17 Just run high lvl grim feast with eternal youth with instant pots. It's just as strong of not stronger than meditate. Meditate only really wins when fighting pinnacle bosses.
It’s a unique jewel called controlled metamorphosis, you need the correct size in my case it is a massive jewel. The smaller jewel is a time lost jewel that I speak about in depth in the video as well. Also greetings! Happy holidays !
A lot of talking in this one. Appreciate the video, I’m wondering if I missed it, did you mention how much freeze build up we should be getting? I feel like that’s an important detail if anyone could share your current stats that would be lovely.
but it's very difficult to find exactly roll (Medium Radius, Small Passives grand 3% increased energy shield, Notable Passives grants 7% critical hit chance.)
Why mediation, if we have grimms, its useless? And if you shock, why not 4% ES instant refill gem? Why no life instant refill on kills, then life + ES always up?
I agree, meditation is useless. Having 10k energy shield is also useless. I run t16-18 just fine with maxed resistance and 5k. Don’t be dumb, don’t stand in bad. Pairing it with feast is just overkill. If you are having issues with getting CC’d you need higher stun threshold. No on seems to care about that stat though and just HP/ES stacks
@T0mT4yl0r you need to solely be ES if you plan on going CI. And CI is OP endgame when you cannot bleed, be poisoned, or suffer chaos damage, ES also scales much higher than life, so a hybrid life pool is useless...

Hey is it a must that I switch to this will I be fine with the old set up I like the last one a lil better and finally got it to fully come online ??? Also I’m on console the switching weapons mid fight kinda hard
If what you’re doing now is cruising and kicking ass then don’t change a thing. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I’m just helping to showcase progression. Stay with what is comfortable to you
@ thank you bro I’m glad u reply to comments u helped me so much on my journey u gotta subscriber forever in me 🗣️
Hello thanks for the nice update video !
Your gems support setup might be improved a little bit. (rage support one)
Using a crimson jewel with rage on it seems to be more efficient and work with all of monk attack skills (bell , tempest flurry, both heralds, charged staff)
If you have room for 1 jewel swap you should try it out see how it feels :)
When do you swap to your second set up and why? You cant attack whilst the wand is out, just switches to staff. If I meditate with wand setup the shield values go back to that of the staff..Love the set up though!
The wand is used to cut the mediate time in half not give you more energy shield. Just makes meditate go from ~5 seconds to 2. Then you just press your attack button and it auto swaps back
Have a look at Doomsayer as anoint for neck
I do love your build but the problem is because we have low hp im getting stunn locked all the time by monsters what are you doing abiut this
Theres a stun node in the controlled metamorphisis jewel that helps. Theres also a stun wheel called mortification i think its called. You can run that until you get stun protection elsewhere
How are his heralds doing 18k plus damage ?! Mine are at like 4.5k or 2.9k with those aupport gems
Levels on my character, crit chance on gear, crit multi, all of that adds up to the damage
Do heralds ever work on bosses? Since you need to either shatter or kill a shocked enemy for them to proc.
Nope we can swap them out for damage
Did you consider using dex/int rings? does lightnign quality just give you more dps?
It’s on my list!
@@Travic_ My immediate thought was to think attribute was more dmg, but after seeing how much lightning added rings can reach, did some math and you need like 40% increased int to get the same number, though that doesn't take into account the atkspd from dex and now I'm super brain fried to figure it out xD
Where do u get the electrocute from?
Support gem
with the gloves do i want more int or dex?
yes
Both yes
Hey, I have a question regarding Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond - which circle version will cover Pure Power, Lightning Quick, Drenched, Eldritch Will? Massive or Very Large?
Its a massive one. In one of his earlier video he showed it
Massive, I believe it also says it in the mobalytics if not I’ll get it updated
@@Travic_ It is not obvious in Mobalytics, thanks for clarification!
is there a way to make the herald tech work while still running ice strike? and or without the crazy gloves or belt?
It should work fine with ice strike. I would say try it if you have everything else setup
I'm also running the unique chest but with the +10% rarity, and +5% attributes, for each socketed rune/soul core. I then proceeded to socket in 4x +10% item rarity soul cores into the chest. Yes, I am that greedy.
WE STAN RARITY WOOOOOOOOO
Tried it without polcirkln n it definitely works but doesnt feel as "crispy" lol
Yeah less colorful is about it
and 4, this is very useful for us mad lads in SSF that just can't get the ring to drop lol. So is the TLDR make HoI shock and make HoT freeze so they proc each other?
Yup! You got it
Anybody else like the ring version better? I already have soo much damage there’s no need to switch things up 👌
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! That’s my motto. Keep cruising brother
any reason for not using grim feast? Trying to not include it since it will likely to be nerfed or something?
No room to fit it honestly
Couldnt you sacrifice a Breach ring for an Unset ring for the added skill slot? @Travic_
not able to trigger freeze for herald of ice consistently..
You need flat cold damage on your gear and freeze buildup, the top half of the quarterstaff passive tree gives a significant amount of freeze
@@Shadowsparrow70 Yeah these nodes make a huge difference
So I'm confused. You change weapon slots to use meditate, but when you change back to your DMG set, doesn't that remove the es from Meditate?
The es increase is not coming from your weapons, it's coming from the shield overcap mechanic that doubles your es on overcharging. He's using the weapon swap to increase es charge speed from meditate.
You only care to have your energy shield doubled. Your not doing it for the EXTRA BOOST from the weapon swap your doing it to increase the speed it happens. You maintain max 100% overcap when you swap back of whatever your base energy shield is at the time. Exmaple if you have 5k in your main hand you goto 10k, if you have 6k in offhand you goto 12, when you overcap at 6k to 12k and swap back you go to 10k its the same shield matching a 100% of your main. You only do the weapon swap so that time it takes to go from 5k->10k is 1.5-2 seconds vs 5-6 seconds
random question but why do your power charges look different
Look different?
@Travic_ like they have waves of electricity popping around them while mine/other youtubers' are blue spheres. maybe something to do with different graphic settings?
If Ice strike has better single target damage and better Freeze,but worse clear wouldn't it be good to use now since the Heralds help do the AOE and clearing for you?
yes. i think ice strike is the optimal skill for this herald tech. I've also stacked 100% increased herald damage with jewels and maxed crit in the tree and ice strike herald chain is absolutely filthy. currently wiping pt t14 maps with 215% rarity at level 80
@@deerlow1851that's good to hear because I find ice strike more comfy. Plus you can blink around and feel faster.
I would disagree about the worse clear speed due to one build. Ice strike buffed by charged staff is really bonkers. I avoided electricity for so long but after testing it today there's no going back. It is blowing up every mob around the map so fast that it looks like I'm using flicker strike. Although I do have tons of attack speed/skill speed, HOI and pol ring makes it clear super fast. I never noticed that charged staff could be used with any staff ability. You basically get a super ice strike with it
@@deerlow1851good to hear. I really like the herald tech. Will swap out the ring but dont want to use those lightning skills lol. Ice strike is king
Is this build still achievable without having an ingenuity?
Ingenuity just helps with resistances, rarity and more damage. Just get yourself a good belt with resist and start cruising
i dont know iswapped to CI +meditate recently i think i was tankier with evation and protect me from harm build. i had 80% evasion and 70% armor.
If you dont swap with really good gear then evasion is for sure better but you have to have really solid energy shield gear
How do you have that circle thing on the top sir?
Which circle thing
@@Travic_hes saying the jewel ring on the skill tree.
I answer that to @ludwigwagner4885 see his coment.
How are you handling freeze and stun with this setup? I know charms exists but the rarity charm is too op
Ya they are strong but I use a node for stuns fn a charm for freeze. Theres a good freeze based on es wheel I have been tryin to fit in as well
@@Travic_ you have lighting exposure in instead of lighting mastery in the mobo for herald of ice.
How much ES should I gather on items (without the passiv points) before considering to switch? I dont want to pay the respec just to find me lacking on ES to make use of meditation
I was ci from about 3k ES. Worked fine but more ES is always better
How do you have so much energy shield when youre not even wearing ghost writhe? PLEASE ANSWER ITS TORMENTING ME
High energy shield on my gear my 375 es helmet is like 2000 energy shield…..
@Travic_ how does it multiply though?? Is chaos innoculation doing that?
@@Travic_ i have almost all energy shield multiplier nodes, and i still dont get the return you and other pc players do, same with my damage. Theres something im missing and i just dont know what it is, losing my mind over it 😅
why dont you use grim fest? its the best survivability spell for mapping by far
I use meditate instead
My shield isnt overcapping when I meditate... weird... u guys know why?
If you have eternal youth checked, remove it, also make sure you are holding meditate to channel it
@@Travic_ thx for answer, m8 =D
Just one simple question... How do you get 77% crit chance ? I have roughly 37% with charge infusion active.
My weapon has a ton of base Crit plus some gear has it and I have it all over my tree
You need a weapon with a lot of crit base chance, i run a 15.7% one and managed to get to 92% crit chance
I copied all this but i cant over cap after wep swap and meditating, any ideas?
Take off eternal youth
@ Ty
I cant manage to set meditate to a weapon skill. Only option that comes up is to attack in place. Anyone know how to set this up. Im on controller
Sadly I do not know how to do it on a controller. I would say check the options and look for the button configuration options and see if you can set a manual weapon swap
Hey travic, I was curious about something, when I used the chaos inoculation I did a map and it was going great then I just insta died but still had my shield. What causes this to happen? Sorry I know it's a dumb question but I have no idea
Check your flask! A lot of people have this issue, you have a flask mod thats using life :)
@@phillipkoch5751 you took life damage. Probably from a mana flask that removes some life to give extra recovery.
@Travic_ oh shit thanks man, I've been going over all my passive skills for days trying to figure this out!! Cheers 🍻
@Travic_ man thanks for that advice again, I had recover life on my mana flask. Works awesome. Now I just need to get some more shield.
yep would see the mobalythics link too dont know what he´ve done different to the old build now
I literally explained what changed. A weapon swap set, new herald gems, changed a jewel. Dropped a ring
how are you getting the spirit requirement
Monk ascendancy nodes
always good vids
MY MAN
@Travic_ I think I'm missing something, meditate isn't overcapping for me, any idea what that could be?
so if anyone else is running in to the same issue, it's probably because you've picked "Eternal Youth"
I came here to say eternal youth, but I saw you figured it out. Glad you got it figured out.
You forget in max roll about pick storm wave gem? I see you use this in map case
I’ll get them added thank you for letting me know!!!
I was reluctant to use meditate at first because it is so slow and Grim Feast is a better alternative. With this, I am going back to meditate and I get to save 30 spirit for something else.
I have meditate and gream BC i dont trust on them separated XD
Anyone know how to switch weapons sets on skill tree. ON PS5!!?
18:40 I was this close to believing you might not need Grim Feast with Meditate 😂
Ya i panicked and didn’t know what to do in the heat of the moment. If meditate was a quick swap versus a manual swap I wonder if the outcome would of been different
@@Travic_ Yeah, Meditate is cool, but it's a pity it doesn't work with Eternal Youth. I don't think I can give up my potions.
@@NoblesseOblige-17 Just run high lvl grim feast with eternal youth with instant pots. It's just as strong of not stronger than meditate. Meditate only really wins when fighting pinnacle bosses.
ah yes, our 70 div build dying to a lil patch of fire on the ground in 3 seconds 🥰
hello sir! how do i get these rings on my jewels in my passive tree?
greetings from germany
That ring is bc that jewels are unique, the one that have 2 circle let u pick a the skills inside the 2 circle whithou do all the path to get them.
It’s a unique jewel called controlled metamorphosis, you need the correct size in my case it is a massive jewel. The smaller jewel is a time lost jewel that I speak about in depth in the video as well. Also greetings! Happy holidays !
I'm running triple heralds with Herald of Ash also, milking all the benefits from our herald bonusses and triple elemental damage nodes + anointment
Which skill do you take out for Herald of Ash? Or are you using an unset ring?
@@Kaien-1 Yes i use an unset ring
That’s outrageous 😂 and I love it
Lets goooo
This tech also solve power charge problem from previous bell tech video 🎉🎉🎉
Wooooo
A lot of talking in this one. Appreciate the video, I’m wondering if I missed it, did you mention how much freeze build up we should be getting? I feel like that’s an important detail if anyone could share your current stats that would be lovely.
You cant look up total % freeze without manually calculating it. I also show you the freeze nodes you need in this video.
@ ok, thank you!
isnt it just a totally squishy build? i mean he shows on lvl 78 and died 2 times ?! and his gear is worth 100+ div ?
Effectively search for Time-Lost Jewels on poe 2 trade? I can't find it
Try sort the market on all jewels and just unique
but it's very difficult to find exactly roll (Medium Radius, Small Passives grand 3% increased energy shield, Notable Passives grants 7% critical hit chance.)
Why mediation, if we have grimms, its useless? And if you shock, why not 4% ES instant refill gem? Why no life instant refill on kills, then life + ES always up?
I agree, meditation is useless. Having 10k energy shield is also useless. I run t16-18 just fine with maxed resistance and 5k. Don’t be dumb, don’t stand in bad. Pairing it with feast is just overkill. If you are having issues with getting CC’d you need higher stun threshold. No on seems to care about that stat though and just HP/ES stacks
I actually take a stun threshold node and had more stun nodes in previous iterations. I just removed some cause it was a bit over kill.
@@jessewatson3187 why 10k ES worse than hybrid Hp/ES 2k+3k ???
@@marselss 2k+3k is killer, you can be near-death and instant refill your life buffer and survive.
@T0mT4yl0r you need to solely be ES if you plan on going CI. And CI is OP endgame when you cannot bleed, be poisoned, or suffer chaos damage, ES also scales much higher than life, so a hybrid life pool is useless...
Heralds are fine. Herald of Ash is weird, though. I don't think it's doing what it supposed to.
How do I fix my mana problem?
Inspiration gem or press your mana flask or get mana on kill jewels
@ where did u put it? I don’t see any one you rings and your mana seems fine
Jewel in the passive tree: mana on kill
hey when i use meditate it isnt charging my es? any idea why?
Remove eternal youth, if you don’t have eternal youth then you need to hold the mediate button as its a channeling skill
@@Travic_ i dont have eternal youth on. weirdly i can channel for however long i hold the key but doesnt charge any es
Im using Unset ring for +1 skill slot. Then i can set all skills
Yeah I want to eventually get nice unset rings
How do I weapon swap on controller
In the options settings there is a section about which button does what I would check in there
