  • Path of Exile: Elementalist vs Necromancer for Carrion Golems

    I’m currently working on an Elementalist version of Carrion Golems that has become popular due to the high area damage. However, another variation is the Necromancer, which I’ve read is tankier. I did some research on how the two builds and differ and wanted to write my thoughts down.

  • Path of Exile: Re-visiting Vortex Occultist As A Spellslinger

    Despite having an older Vortex/Cold Snap Occultist character, I decided to start from scratch a brand new version. I had read about a Spellslinger version, which employs Creeping Frost, Frostbolt and Cold Snap into the Spellslinger portions. This intrigued me as I felt that I never gave my Occultist character a fair shake.

  • Path of Exile: Old Hollow Palm Raider Project Revisited

    I was reading about Ice Crash recently and how one could buff the damage by increasing the area and using some of the new war cry effects. So I decided to pull out my old Hollow Palm Raider that I left at level 68 and push her into maps. Right now, I’m loving it.

  • Path of Exile: Mucking Around With Hierophant Freeze Pulse Totems

    Decided to use one of my passive respecs to give my old Hierophant a rework with Freeze Pulse Totems. I had a Soul Mantle and two Kikazaru rings as the basics to get this build started. The goal was to see how this build would feel since I did not want to start from scratch…

  • Path of Exile: Fireball/Stone Golemancer Hybrid

    I really enjoy the idea of an Elementalist in Path of Exile; a witch focused on manipulating the elements of the world to cause great damage. The Elemancer portion of the Elementalist ascendancy probably makes the idea of an Elementalist appealing to me in how you use your golems as buffs. So how does a…

  • Path of Exile: Essence Drain Spellslinger Review

    So I had been wanting to play an Essence Drain Spellslinger Trickster recently. I really like the Spellslinger concept in that it functions similarly to a Poet’s Pen or trigger when used to support a spell skill while wielding a wand. Here’s my evaluation thus far with the build.

  • Path of Exile: Harvest Brief Thoughts

    Okay, so I ended up playing some of the Harvest league since I have downtime and wanted to get some game time with my main rig turning into an overpriced paper weight. In short, I got bored and needed a distraction for a week or two and figured why the fuck not.

  • Path of Exile: Will I Make A Comeback in Harvest?

    I’ve taken some time off from Path of Exile as a game to spend time on other games. Part of that decision was simply that I wanted to play the new Diablo 3 season as well as get back into other games that I had been itching to play. Part of the decision was that…

  • Path of Exile: Delirium Almost Done

    Delirium is ending on Monday PST around 1pm. That means if you really want to push any last minute stuff, you have tomorrow and some of the morning on Monday remaining. So what’s my status in all of this?

  • Path of Exile: Scuffed Herald/Purposeful Harbinger Abuser Build

    So after getting squashed and depressed by a failed Uber Lab run, I waited a few days for prices to come down on Voices and other gear. Ended up buying a few more Purposeful Harbingers, two 7 passive Voices, 1 Purposeful Harbinger/Heraldry and 2 Call of the Brotherhood rings (corrupted). How is this looking so…
