Dailies are exactly like they sound like from WoW, quests you complete that reset each day. That being said, you can finish all of the daily quests in PoE in about 2 minutes except for Zana, which requires you to clear a randomly chosen map with a special objective.
You planning on doing March reset of game? A good crew of my guild (like 9 of us) are coming, would be awesome to get everyone together again for mapping in RR. Especially if we can field more than a group hehe =)

Yeah, if the March patch is adding act 4, I'll definitely be playing again. There was just way too much other gaming between WoW expac, steam sales, etc to put much time in for this latest league.

RIP. 82 super speed arcer just melted in a fracture, + mob speed, elemental weakness map. 4.5khp, 2.5k ES, didn't have any close encounters leveling until that map. Fractured some doggies and they lit me up in seconds. Oh well. :-/ At least I didn't have my belly of the beast on I guess. Time to take a break for a bit.

I always tell my buddies to take resists and hp levels super seriously when progressing past cruel.

This is very solid advice for any hardcore character.

thats where you went wrong
So true. The vast, vast, VAST majority of my hardcore rips are due to me doing corrupted areas while leveling (I have a problem, what can I say). I could be steamrolling everything without even having to pay attention but I step in to that corrupted zone (even when the mods are not bad at all) and BOOM, something rapes me. Just lost my lvl 45 summoner to one in A2 cruel (almost lost her trying to do a level 53 elreon daily while being level 41 the other day too, lol).

Oh well tho, now I get to level my KB shadow! Never done a wand build before. Was going to level with fire trap/bear trap/lightning trap but decided to do it with EK instead since i'm taking phys nodes anyways and this way I don't have to drop 20 regrets on respeccing when I am capable of being viable with KB.

BAH, lost my static-strike ranger to a vulnerability + elemental weakness map. I knew I shouldn't have tried it, but it just looked too damn tempting with the +45% item quantity or whatever it was. Dumb dumb dumb. Static strike is powerful as hell. Was doing about 9000 DPS with a Kaoms Axe at level 68. Even had 3500HP while wearing a Carnage Heart(-25% life) for the life leech. about 58% evasion + acrobatics for another 40% dodge. Felt invincible. Until I died to a lightning obelisk pack.

Time to wait for Act 4

I don't think anyone right now without lightning flasks even tries obelisk packs at higher levels.

I think my insane damage worked against me, I basically plowed the entire pack of 10-ish mobs instantly, and ALL the obelisks popped up and fired simultaneously. I even had 2 different CWDT chains going, one CWDT/Immortal Call/enduring cry/increased duration, and one CWDT/decoy/molten shell/increased duration.

So that thing basically instantly nuked my ~3500 hp, and I think since they all fired simultaneously my enduring cry and molten shell didn't even get a chance to fire off, the damage all came in instantaneously. Had I killed them slower, and only half fired off, then the other half a second later, I would have lived, my CWDT shields would have kicked in :/. Lost a 5-link BP too...BAH

Glad I packed it in on bloodlines early. Luckily I avoided the ice orb BS, but between the retarded and annoying phylacretal link, chaos bond devourers, and the totems - nope.jpg

I got dropped to 5% hp last night by a pack of substantial phys phylacteral linked devourers on a 98% added cold damage map. My butt puckered a little as I mashed 1 through 5 keys.

Your CWDT setup listed does next to nothing to prevent spell damage my man.
You know, I don't think I ever realized that Immortal call only prevented physical damage. I thought it was 100% immunity for that half second or so. I knew Molten Shell was all physical damage, didn't realize both were.

There really isn't anything for passively preventing magic damage to tie in to CWDT is there? About the only mechanic is resist flasks, which have to be manually triggered.

15 Edits later:
Endurance charges from CWDT + Enduring Cry count as spell reduction, consuming them with IC removes spell mitigation.

Pro tip: Spell echo bypasses the internal cooldown for EC and lets you cast it twice.

Artic armor reduces fire damage taken by a flat amount alongside phys. Pretty important when going up against devourer packs.

Purity of Lightning improves max resists against lightning to a very suitable point for negating spell damage.

Vaal Imortal Call makes you completely immune.

Summoners Reviving the Evangelists with proximity field also make you immune to outside sources of damage while standing within the bubble.

Spell block and Acrobatics are great for negating spell damage all together.

I guess after thinking about this: CWDT + Faster Casting + (possibly reduced duration to shorten the animation?) + Convocation in combo with Evangelists with Increased Duration would work pretty neat. Basically when you take damage you summon all your minions to you and the forcefields negate incoming damage.

RIP at 56 with my Incinerate Templar on Bloodlines, so sad, my highest hardcore character yet. Damn ledge Totem boss.
