In Path of Exile you have two different resources that keep you from dying
One is Life (the red stuff) the other is energy shield (the white covering the red). When you go throughout the passive tree you will see that there are +life / +life percentage nodes and on the other hand there are +energy shield nodes.
One very important node is called Chaos Inoculation. This node makes it so your life is reduced to 1 and you become immune to chaos damage (chaos damage bypasses energy shield).Choosing energy shield for your build usually means that you are using this passive skill.
Thus, you want to choose one or the other in order to maximize your survivability by only using life gear and life passive nodes or high Energy shield gear and Energy shield passive nodes.
Just some stats for people trying out sword raider BF build, with only a Dreamfeather and a Scaeva i'm doing 1155 damage per uses of BF, attacking for 7.38 time a sec, 30% crt chance, 340% crt multiplier. This is with max frenzy on a 2x ascended raider.
Feels free to compare to other classes if you're not feeling raider is up to par, or if swords isnt your thing.
Cant go wrong with this, you can also respec to BF later, it uses pretty much identical tree nodes and similar skill gems > https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1738625/
I will hopefully decide which of WarChieftain totems or Gladiator Block Blade Flurry that I will play sometime around the league starting >_> . I may end up defaulting to the "safe" build of warchieftain totems to make poe currency, but it would be nice to play (and fail) with a build I've done some work on myself.

What have RNG gods gifted you the best in POE ever?
I advise quitting PoE and focusing on other opportunities, with Pluto ascending in next quarter and Sun in counterbalance it's the perfect time for bold business ventures.

New Player Should Never Play HC
I have performed mostly HC in each and every game which has it, I began PoE HC also it was great when Used to do. Hell, I even find Invasion is the most enjoyable time I have ever endured within this game

Path of Exile Rarity bonuses can actually affect the rarity of the uniques you get
No what this means is you run a map and pay 4 poe chaos orbs or whatever it is to apply nemesis from zanas map device.

Path of Exile is not such a gamble
A newbie might see this video and think, Hey a HH is worth over a hundred poe exalts maybe i should spam chances on leather belts while using zana.

Just a way from Grinding Gear Games to make you burn your poe currency
I love Path of Exile in the sense them Grinding Gear Games has made many good changes to the game along with it being free.
