How do I know which one to use. How do I know if Im getting another source of exposure? I dont even know what exposure is. Is it safe to just use Elemental Army SUpport?

[@doomeduser4048]

Pretty much the other two exposures possible for this build are Wave of Conviction and Eldricht currency crafted gloves for exposure (which you are unable to use because you cant craft it on unique items, only rares). Use Elemental Army it's the best for this build.

[@HelmBreaker594]

Use elemental army in your hungry loop to get the exposure through the AG. Hungry loop setup = (minion life- elemental army- feeding frenzy - meat shield or increased aoe)

[@GhazzyTV]

The guide outlines the importance of getting attributes & capping your elemental resistances. A problem I've had for many years is that new(er) players would ask where they could find a pair of boots with exactly 42% Fire res or a ring with exactly 47 Dexterity. To avoid that from happening I'm just outlining the importance of it in the written guide & there's a custom modifier in the PoB for resistances.
