This sucker worth exalting?

Wouldn't bother exalting it unless you never plan on picking up a 5/6L or only intend to use the one in your weapon. Even then it is still kinda questionable though because I doubt your other gear is good enough for it to be worthwhile.

Absolutely not. Maybe if it was alraedy a 6L or something then maybe but as it is now it's just not worth it at all.

So I am lvl 32 now with the build I was talking about before. I got my cyclone connected to WED, faster attack and mana leech (which is useless at this level :D). 58 mana per cast :D I can cast it twice before running out It is much less effective then Cleave with same setup but somehow fun :D I been clearing normal docks with it and only had problems against blue/yellow voidbears like all melee.
But I really do expect it to be more viable as I level and take all needed passives and 2x claws with decent base crit.
|
Yeah good luck, sadly there is no mana per hit gem, hehe. But it should work later on. Anyway, they probably are still observing the skill so they might buff it again, or perhaps it will also benefit from one of the new support gems (although it doesn't look like it).

For a 6L this setup would be murder. I would attach Blind and Increased Critical Damage to it. With high level Mana Leech I would be able to leech back what I use.
For less then 6L I would love to be able to get rid of Mana Leech, it just wastes one spot (I would use Blind or Increased Crit Damage instead there). BTW with Blind reflect damage is even less dangerous :D I don't even mind using mana flasks, just that without leech I am not sure I would be able to keep mana flasks full.
The biggest problem with Cyclone is same as for Whirling Strike: desync. And not the one that kills you but one where you pass through enemies and you do not damage to them. Mana spent, life lost, but no damage to leech life or mana But I keep playing each day during races and it seems game has more problems with lag and desync then.

I'm having a lucky oneweek race. So far my notable drops are a divine and 3 exalted and a 5link evasion armor in one day. Now I just need to make sure I stay alive in the maps. I have a friend I intend to do some maps with, are there any other TLers around lvl 70 to map with ?

Whaat. I have yet to drop one :d

I was really lucky yesterday. Before yesterday I had about 2 exalted drop in 3 months.

Anyone playing a summoner and got experience about what spectres are best? So far i've been going with Flame Sentinels, but in a party they're bringing much lag. Also, is Added Chaos that good with them? I've read multiple threads in the witch forum where they suggested it even in a 4 link... I would've thought Faster Cast or Fire Penetration are more useful. Also i'm unsure on whether using GMP or Chain is necessary with them, and which one is better (i feel with both the lag is even too big in solo play and the dmg suffers a lot more than it increases). Concentrated Effect might be useful too. I've got only a 5L Armour though, and there are so many useful things hehe...
I also read on the PoE forum that the mobs in Lunaris temple with Unrighteous Fire are also great and don't cause lag. What are you guys using?
edit: On the recent topic: I didn't find any Divines or Exalteds O_o Although i have 4 chars on Merciless
|
I found one divine
Apparently blesseds are also really rare and I found 2 but they are pretty useless
I suppose I've found 3 GCP's so far out of random pots/crates that I blow up, so I can't complain too much.

You should be able to pick up some jewelry pretty easily. You're still a bit short at that level if you want to use ilvl 72/73 stuff, but a lot of the endgame jewelry only rolls ilvl60 resists which means you'd be able to use it.

I had what I considered end-game jewelry (at least until maps). ~25 cold ~25 fire 73 life ring and 61 Lightning(!) 30 cold 9 all res ring. Neither were "perfect" but they were about as good as I could afford. I was actually decently close to cap everything (slightly over-capped lighting, ~50 cold ~50 fire).
I needed better almost everything else though. Belt was 77 life 22 fire, Gloves were dual res but no life and low rolls, Boots were no life 20 cold. Chest was pretty bad too but I needed the high armor and 4-link . I kept thinking "well 5 more levels and then the upgrade will be worth it" but I waited too long
EDIT: yeah I guess my ammy wasn't too good though either. I was pretty unsure of what to get because mine had some mana leech that was really helping (as well as being a 20 onyx with 4% all resists and 20 life). Not actually good but again I didn't want to spend for an upgrade.

I honestly think glorious plates have a lower drop rate than 80% of all uniques. T__T I played 9 maps today, not a single drop. lvl66/67 maps with lots of champs and sometimes 2 bosses.
Ready to buy one now..

Should get at least an ilvl 73 glorious plate. Not sure I'd bother dropping the extra currency to get a higher level one, but you might like some of the additional mods you can pick up.

Oftentimes you'll get better gains from transmuting/altering some random pieces you pick up. In your situation for instance an onyx would be really easy to roll an upgrade. The belt would also be pretty easy probably. You need to be willing to replace ok'ish pieces for net gains. Dropping some alterations while you're leveling up is cheap and effective.
Don't be afraid to drop currency on an 18 or 19 onyx either. Unless your build is that precise on the stat caps, chances are the gains are marginal at best.

I honestly don't care about ilvl, I will use mass chance/scouring on it anyways, all or nothing.
