Just had an Aegis Aurora drop. I had seen Phox's video on using it with Melding of Flesh. Not sure how much it costs to take that route. Would it be better to sell it for 3Div and use that to further go down this path?

I'd sell it. It's an endgame item for your build but you have to re-do a lot of your items to make it work. And you mentioned that you may not play much longer. So may as well shoot for easy big upgrades before you quit. Let me know how much currency you have after you sell it. There are a few more easy changes to get you more DPS.

Yea, that was my take too. For melding of the flesh I would need to redo all the res to make up for the -75%.

Sold it for 3.5D. Now I have 3Div, 2Ex and 573C. I already got the Awakened gems that were recommended.

Got lucky and picked up a scepter from that list for 30c. Did the rest too other than the rolls on the gloves. About how many rolls you figure?
Currently I'm try to gain two more levels to put the Jewel back in. Also running lab once in awhile to see if I can get lucky with a useful enchantment, either traps or RF.

I'm usually pretty unlucky when I go to roll implicits so I generally buy in groups of 40-80. But gloves aren't super hard to roll compared to chests.

Reservation enchant for any of the 4 auras you would run will allow you to run all 4 with a lvl 3 Enlighten so those are a good candidate as well.

Does "inflict on hit" trigger for traps and RF?

Ok so I dropped (for me) some decent currency on this helm upgrade, not ideal but a huge DPS boost, my question is the enchantment (40% to EA), it appears to be a lab enchantment. If I use one of those red/blue eldichers or whatever, will it override this? I'm pretty sure if it is a lab enchantment it won't, but really don't want to semi-brick my helm.

It won't. I been spamming my gloves and it didn't affect the lab enchantment.

JTsyo is right in that enchants are separate from implicits. They made that change a couple years ago. However, the Eldritch currency items can not be applied to influenced items...which your helm is.

Yea, so is it not a lab enchant on it, or what stat line on it is "influenced"? I see the little icon in the upper left side while looking at the item stats, but don't recognize it.

You've probably already looked it up but influenced items have icons in the name bar to signify that it's been influenced by one of 6 types. Your item is double influenced as you can see the icon to the far left(Redeemer) of the name and to the far right(Warlord). That stat line under the enchant that says adds cold damage is an Implicit and the Eldritch items roll implicits. So if your item wasn't influenced and you used an Eldritch currency on it then it would re-roll that stat line and you'd lose it.

Yea that's what I knew would happen if I could re-roll, which I wanted to avoid. But with how suffix/prefix and implicit and whatever are unbelieveably complicated to understand how they work when it comes to crafting for a new player. But after looking closer, pretty happy it was only 5D. Like I still don't get this situation:
Have a ring, put it in crafting bench, says it has no room for ANY more mods, so can't do suffix or prefix (top or bottom). Use annulment orb to remove random stat, put back on bench, same issue still says no room for either... like bro how? Item was NOT influnenced as far as I recall either.

One of the good things about this game is the depth it has compared to something like D3. However, it presents a steep learning curve to new players and requires a lot of play time and education on the players part to even partially feel confident in end game content. My friends won't touch the game because of this even though they'll put 100+ hours into a D3 seasonal character.

If you want to ask questions in game then you can ask me or another good option is global #164. It's a fairly small global channel that's pretty active the first 2-3 weeks of every league. It's mainly veteran players with lot of knowledge who don't mind answering questions. I'm there for the first 1 to 2 weeks of every league as well until I finish my challenges and quit. Account name is: Kan333. There is also some discords that are popular but I'm not up on that as much anymore.

How are the changes working in Delve
I actually pulled back to about depth 180 to try gain an extra 2 skill points of XP. Got one level and am 85% to the next one. I'm down around 350 and the times I die, I'm not even sure what gets me. Though I realize I need to do a better job paying attention to the mods for the different delve points. I would think with the build I can get down to 400 without issue.

i must say, this has been one of the luckiest leagues i've played. i've been playing VERY casually and now sitting on roughly 10 divines (around 1500c) and thats after spending about 3 divines on 2 builds.
i've sold 2 imprint beasts, a well rolled Badge, i 6linked Terminus Est with 17 fusings and sold it, sold many gilded scarabs from operative boxes, 4 natural divine drops...

problem is...i need a 800+ phys DPS 2handed sword which costs 18 divines on the low end and about 40 divines for a good one :(

Make it yourself.

Buy a fractured base that's top 4 or 5 tier from here: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/v5YPDwJsE
Bulk buy Deafening Essence of Contempt: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Kalandra/8gqQRZFV

On that list right now is a Reaver and Infernal sword. Just buying one of those, hitting it with an essence and then multi-modding phy damage and attack speed makes them 690-700dps. You should be able to craft yourself a 750-800dps version without too much effort or cost. Certainly welllll below 18 divines.

So I was a dumbass and had my 2 voidstones in the slots on left rather than in the Atlas. I only realized when I check them and saw they still had the 3 charges from the sextant on them. Glad they didn't effect Sulphite collecting.

see, now i didnt know that because i'm not a crafter, i'm a buyer :)

so i did something similar, bought a fractured base with 169% increased phys, spammed essences and landed on

Blood Bane
Vaal Greatsword
Physical damage: 311 - 662
Attack speed: 1.52
implicit +470 to Accuracy Rating (don't care, im RT)
{fractured}169% increased Physical Damage
22% increased Physical Damage
Adds 32 to 71 Physical Damage
17% increased Attack Speed
+40 to Accuracy Rating
{crafted}9% chance to deal Double Damage

and thats 739.5 phys dps before the double damage (which is roughly a 18% more dmg on average)

and overall 25% more dps for my build.

How are the changes working in Delve
Hey is there something I can do against mobs in areas with 300+% crit chance and 45% crit dmg multiplier? Seems I die often in those areas. So far I've been going around them if I die a few times.
