Path of Exile 3.25 Ling Strike Warden: Mid-Game Defensive Upgrades and DPS Boosts

Allie discusses the midgame update for Ling Strike Warden, focusing on building substantial defensive layers and incorporating specific gear and jewels.

### The Midgame Update for L Stri Wen Build in Path of Building
The midgame update for the L Stri Wen build in Path of Building aims to significantly increase DPS and EHP, as well as improve speed to tackle various content. The update is designed to cost between 50 to 70 div, with the flexibility to piece together upgrades as money becomes available. The focus of the update is on enhancing defensive capabilities using specific shields and keystones to achieve high elemental and chaos resistance, crucial for survival. Crafting guides and extensive notes are provided for each build aspect in the guide section.

### Building a Strong Defensive Layer Against Chaos Damage in Path of Exile
Having 50-60% chaos resistance is sufficient to nullify major chaos damage, while reaching 90% chaos resistance makes the player effectively immune to chaos damage. Adding Doppelganger's Guile and a corrupted amulet for plus one to all maximum resistances can further strengthen this defensive combination. Setting up this defensive layer requires obtaining specific gear with chaos resistance and spell suppression, which can be crafted or traded for relatively inexpensively. The transition from using a claw to a dagger and obtaining the Rune Smithing enchant for fortify may pose some challenges in achieving spell suppression, potentially requiring a temporary sacrifice of damage.

### Optimizing Your Character Build with a Dagger
Consider using a dagger for 100% spell suppression and the ability to fit in chaos resistance and spell suppression. The difference in DPS between a dagger and a claw is minor, and daggers offer the benefit of being less expensive to craft. Look for a dagger with 8% Critical Strike chance and 1.45 or higher APS as its base, as they are generally cheaper than claws. By using a dagger, you can save a significant amount of money compared to crafting a comparable claw and still maintain a high level of effectiveness.

### Crafting a Powerful AOE Helmet for Your Build
You can easily create a plus two AOE helmet with Mana reservation for the suffix by veiled chaos orb spamming. The plus two AOE combined with a level 21 Purity fire will provide a significant increase to your maximum fire resistance, enhancing your ehp. To fit all the auras in, you will need to anoint Sovereignty on your necklace, pick up specific passives, and use a Loathing Essence to craft your helmet with a Grand Eldritch ier Mana reservation implicit. Consider dropping Anger for determination, but be mindful of the impact on your Trinity uptime and DPS. Additionally, focus on finding a lethal Pride with the name "ricotta" to achieve the desired effect on keystones for your build.

### Efficiently Finding the Right Lethal Pride for Your Build
Lethal Pride is crucial for gaining endurance charges on kill, providing a strong defensive layer. By using the search function in the passive tree and filtering for the "add endurance charge on kill" node, you can efficiently locate the right Lethal Pride for your build. Instead of purchasing expensive options at the top, you can copy the trade URLs for highlighted numbers and look for a more affordable choice among the thousands available.

### Optimizing Jewel Selection for Increased DPS in Path of Exile
Looking for specific modifiers like double damage and fortify effect can significantly boost your damage output. By adjusting the number of each type of node on your Jewel, you can find the right combination for your build. Incorporating cluster Jewels with added accuracy rating and attack speed, along with maximizing chaos resistance, can greatly enhance your build's strength. Using a massive Thread of Hope will allow you to efficiently allocate passive points and is crucial for Elemental attack builds.

### Optimizing Your Build for Maximum Damage
Picking up specific notables and using a Yoke of Suffering can significantly increase your damage output. You can upgrade your necklace to Yoke of Suffering for a substantial damage boost, focusing on increased damage taken per ailment on the enemy. The item is becoming more affordable as it becomes more common in tier 17 maps.

### Strengthening Your Relh Worden Build for the Lake Game
Consider getting a Mage Blood for increased flask power and 100% uptime on killing orbs. Acquire a Ruby Flask for maximum fire resistance, allowing for more flexibility in your build. Look into getting an Amethyst Flask to boost your chaos resistance and potentially free up space for other stats. Additionally, the Progenesis can make you smaller and provide a significant boost in EHP, which is great for mapping. It's okay to run three flasks with Mage Blood and consider including Progenesis in your build.

* 💰  The estimated cost of the update is around **50 to 70 divine orbs**, but upgrades can be gradually acquired as funds allow, rather than all at once.

* 📿  Finding a suitable "**Lethal Pride**" jewel with the "**Ricot**" conqueror name and an "**Endurance Charge on Kill**" notable is crucial for both **defense and offense**.
