Path of Exile Lightning Strike Raider - Why Grace?
******** Apologies still on broken mic! ********
Very quick video to outline why I prefer Grace over Determination at League Start. When you are levelled and geared I 100% agree determination gives you much more bang for you buck, but before you get to that point I think spending points and mana reservation on armour is a mistake and this video outlines why
I may totally misunderstand POB settings but I think it is correct
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. This is not a dig at people using determination or a definitive "Grace is the Best" video. Just me rambling and explaining my reasons since a lot of people were asking
POB for Grace character used as an example. I then take the tree as shown in the video, add some armour gloves and take the mastery that gives +1 evasion for armour on gloves and put determination on. I kitted the character out with both a Jade and a Granite flask (White flasks) just to keep it fair.
