    Also, what kind of "armor" do I strive for? Pieces of armor have different base stats. Some have "armor", some have "evasion", and some have "energy shield" bonuses. Is there something specific I should be going for, based on style of play?

    The middle mouse is mouse button three, so go for that, if it doesn't work, I don't know.

    As for gear, as a ranger, assuming you're going bows, you'll want armour and/or evasion, as for ES(energy shield), not really much since you won't be really using it much compared to other builds I believe.

    ATM I'm using evasion gear with Iron Reflexes( it coverts evasion to armor) on my ranger.

Meaning, a one-in-a-million chance it seems. Maybe less, but you know. OR, I can BUY an item with it, THEN sell it right back. I'm sorry. This just feels really...contrived?
    The vendors sell chromatics for lesser currency as well.

    There is also a vendor recipe list that mimics the Horodric cube of Diablo 2 in functionality.

    And the other keybound attacks under it. But, what's the attack in between the two on the right? I can't figure that out.
    Um, middle mouse button?

    You strive for the armor that is useful to your build. Any class can use any armor provided they meet the reqs.

    There is pure Int, Str and Dex based gear. Hybrid Str/Int, Str/Dex and Int/Dex armor as well for builds that meet those requires of make use of those stats.

    This is incorrect advice with no bearing on actual game mechanics.

    Life leech on Warlord's Mark only applies to the physical melee attack portion of the Lightning Strike skill. The individual bolts can not trigger life leech via Warlord's Mark as they are not physical.

    The wording on skills is pretty specific in Path of Exile. There isn't much "guesswork". Things tend to work exactly as worded. And Mark words precisely.
    Actually you aren't entirely correct there, according to a post by Mark here (pathofexile. com/forum/view-thread/109237) it actually leeches, which also is the way I experienced it.

    I have not experienced the bolts of LS leeching off of Warlord's Mark. Or perhaps I did not notice?

    Curious.

    Raise Zombie I've found to be ... well, really common, so if you can take 1 chaos for it, i'd say go for it.

    I think I read somewhere that only the physical damage portion of LS will leach.

    "Lightning Strike converts half of your Physical into Elemental, therefore giving you half life leech- of course Life Gain on Hit would still work perfectly"

    I would say, no, that is not a good deal. The Quality +13 by itself should net you quite a bit more. From what I have seen, most easily obtainable gems (quest reward gems) with a quality on top of them have been going for 1/4 to 1/3 the quality in GCP. So I would questimate that a +13 would go for at least 3-4 GCPs. I could be wrong though.

    Damn, if you're right, then I was getting low-balled by 3 people all offering 1 chaos. Some dude offered me 1 chaos and a rare 2hander for +19 Temporal Chains. I know I'm new to the trading scene, but shit, I'm not that stupid lol

    Right. But I'm not talking about str, int, and dex on gear. Although, given how those stats work in this game, it seems they can all be useful to all classes. I just wonder out of "armor", "energy shield" or "evasion", which is the best stat to go for, since as of right now I'm not seeing any gear with more than one of these on it.

    I was gonna low ball you with 3 chaos offer for the Zombie gem. But now I see you wised up. >.>

    Act 2 and 3 vendors.

    Check settings. But the middle skill is the middle mouse button by default. Might be your mouse software.

    Answer is the same.

    You strive for the armor that is useful to your build. Any class can use any armor provided they meet the reqs.

    Evasion, Energy Shield and Armor are functions of Str, Int and Dex. Just as gear with Armor/Evasion, Evasion/Energy Shield and so on are directly tied to Str/Int, Dex/Int, etc.

    There is no best stat to go for without knowing your build and skill choice.

    They way I see it, to get a Temporal Chains from 0 to +19, it would take 19 GCPs. To offer a chaos is a bit more than insulting. However, when you link the item, make sure you put (19%) in text with it. I have made the mistake of putting Summon Skeleton for 3 GCP and got LOLed for a few minutes, all because I forgot to put the (13%) on it (because most people won't take the time to hover over and check the quality). Once I did that, everyone settled down.

    Now, if you get a rare skill gem, like Elemental Hit or Grater Multiple Projectiles, and then get a quality on top of that, then you should be making some bank. The base value of these two seem to be between 2 and 3 GCPs.

    Hahhaha, I read your post a few pages back on how you make amazing deals from noobs (like me) and I've been careful since. My thinking everytime I get a supposed weak offer, "probably a long time beta tester who knows the ins and outs trying to low ball me."

    Right, I've been doing that as well. But I just can't seem to find the right people to buy them. Had another person message me for 1 GCP for the T. chains =/

    Oh apologises, I didn't see you're quality mentioned in the zombie gem. That's why I had thought it was a good deal, just a regular gem!

    Could anyone tell me how reserved mana interacts with the Blood Magic passive? Will your health be reserved or do you get the aura 'free'?

    Your health gets reserved instead.

    40 mana = 40 hp
