Thank you. I think I managed it.

You neglected to actually choose Occultist after your second lab run, to get your second curse. But that's not the problem. I don't see anything obviously wrong with your chest gem setup.

By the way, a level 66 character should have 4L everywhere, and a 5L staff/chest already just by spamming jeweler orbs on a 20q item. You are missing a LOT of skill gems.

Thanks for the response.

As to the former, I will double check, but I'm pretty sure I have occultist. I've done two labs and failed a couple times on the third.

For the staff, I've been saving up jewellers orbs to head straight to six on the staff, but maybe I'll just spam and add a gem. I'll also talk a look at the rest. The character is starting to feel a bit fragile, so maybe that will help.

ps. OK, I've upgraded to a 5 socket staff and upgraded the headgear as well. Hopefully, that will help.

I think the curses are going off now. I think maybe they just didn't look like what I was expecting. I'm not sure what the ball lightning is for.

At level 71, I have just under 2600 ES. Is that too low? I do seem kind of fragile.

Thanks for all the help.

Hit level 76 and at just about 2800 ES. However, I'm still pretty fragile and dying a lot in the early maps. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? I know I need to shore up my lightning resistance but am reluctant to sacrifice int to do it.

All suggestions and advice welcome.

It is low, but you are still on leveling uniques. Just get some good rares and you should be fine. They don't need to be best of the best, just get something decent to start with.

For example your gloves has 11es and chest has 123es. It is not hard to find some with 150+ and 400+ es and some int.

Thanks. I upgraded the gloves and that's already made a difference. I think it's going to be difficult to beat the 152% ES on the chest, but will take a look. Also need to look at the belt.

Uh, the %increased ES is not the stat you should look at, but the actual ES on the chest. The %increased just applies to your chest only.

Specifically, search for https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/a8mRrzRTe and buy one of these.

Then, search for "of Hillock's veil" chests and unveil them to learn the % increased attributes craft and craft it on your new chest. PSA: Always 20q your armor before you attempt to roll 5 or more sockets on it.

lol... I didn't know that. *facepalm*

So, if an item has a % increase of a stat, but no stat, it has no effect?

Don't understand this.

OK, there's a lot to read about this. Taking a look now.

Wow... that syndicate stuff looks complicated for Hillock's veil.

@Averil: For Hillock's Veil, use this search string https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/jJgBkZTX . When you get one, go to Jun and ask him to unveil the veiled affix.

If you're lucky, you'll get the % increased attributes craft which you can then use on your new chest for even more intelligence.

There are no normal items that have % increased ES affix that don't also have some ES, as far as I know.

Betrayal is complicated, yes, but for our build, you don't need to mess with it until you're min-maxing your gear at level 90+.
