Greek's Phase Run Pathfinder Gear & Flasks (PoE Heist only)
Early Game
Itemization in PoE
Why is the guide using so many rares and can I use these Uniques?
Unique Items can generally be divided into two segments. Those that enable a build because they have a specific effect on them, which are then combined with Rare Gear items, which complement the build-enabling item, and those that are placeholders until you can upgrade them with better rolls on Rare Gear pieces. Outside of specific Mechanics, replacing items with random Uniques is not great. However, whenever you feel like they fill your gaps correctly, feel free to use them as placeholders.
Resistances & Attributes
Elemental Resistances are on gear are extremely important. The game is constructed around playing with at least 75% Elemental Resistances and ideally a bit of Chaos Resistances too. Therefore, you should always be looking to cap your Resistances by Act V. Until the end of your progression, you should try to upgrade with Chaos Resistance where you can as you progress through maps. While it can be difficult at times to find enough Attributes on builds. Almost every class paths through a passage where they can pick a +30 to Intelligence, Strength, or Dexterity, and there is no shame in doing so whilst you are still preparing your better gear.
Flasks
Another thing heavily overlooked is the strength that lies in your Flasks. As soon as you hit maps, you should have a bunch of
Orb of Alterations, so try to get some lower tiers of the affixes you want on your Flasks according to the guide you’re following. Aim to have at least some usable Flasks when you’re starting maps, and aim to have the right Magic Flasks by the time you enter Yellow maps. Expensive Unique Flasks, can be added in later.
Understanding Gear & Character Progression
All guides generally suggest some kind of specific modifiers on Gear; consider these as “ideal cases”. When you start your journey through maps, aim for mostly Life and Resistances on all of your gear (outside of weapons) to ensure you’re capped and have a decent health pool. At this point, you’re still mostly carried by your Skill Gems and Passive Skill Tree. Therefore, make sure that you have all the suggested gems when you start doing maps and have fixed your links and sockets when you’re able to. Lastly, do not forget to quality your gear using
Armourer's Scrap‘s. This is a multiplicative bonus to all the defenses found on your item.
Choosing your Gear
Generally, we list each affix in priority order to show which ones are most important to obtain. Sometimes, there will be a mandatory modifier, meaning that in later stages, it is required for the build. Other than that, if you follow the priority list and try to obtain as many of the modifiers on the mentioned items as possible. The more modifiers that are relevant, the better.
Additionally, we have applied a code to showcase which part of your character gets enhanced.
