i run 3 maps and he shows up again, offering me the same map i just got a boss for

#

giant white orb on minimap

proud gorge
#

you can also use the atlas to make it more likely to spawn one particular guardian map out of the three

digital prawn
#

oh yeah ive met him before

proud gorge
#

but it's still just an increased chance of X

digital prawn
#

guess i will just chaingun some maps

#

ty for help

#

literally first map

normal hedge
frigid wedge
#

is the dot multi there minroll

normal hedge
#

no its 1 off

#

int is maxroll

frigid wedge
#

do u need both of them?

#

or is the int just to save u money if u miss

normal hedge
#

no, i want essence mod, str/int/chaosres/all res are the ones to make some money if i miss xdd

frigid wedge
#

ye ok

#

what u playing

normal hedge
#

jiquanis impending doom

frigid wedge
#

ok technically yay but also oof

#

on divine

normal hedge
#

its fine

#

i'll mist it in a few mins

frigid wedge
#

for jiquanis

normal hedge
#

because its ignite

frigid wedge
#

so its just id bc it can be, not bc is is actually relevant

#

?

normal hedge
#

what

#

not sure what u're trying to say

frigid wedge
#

i dont rlly see doom blast having the base dmg for big ignites

normal hedge
#

i have

#

30m uber dot

#

lol

normal hedge
frigid wedge
#

yes but doom blast itself has very little benefit over another spell hit

#

oh it just has high effect of added

#

right

normal hedge
#

350%?

#

370%

frigid wedge
#

played poison id pf last league and it struggled for dot dps

normal hedge
#

dont poison also need high cast speed

frigid wedge
#

the build has an effective trigger rate of 10.1 or smth when configured right

#

for doom blast not vixens

#

it just had kinda low dmg per poison or smth

#

fully configured it was 11m dps

#

prob woulda had much higher but i never made 2x elevated boots

normal hedge
#

i'm sure you can have more dps but ignite sounds better at this point

frigid wedge
#

hm?

#

i imagine assassin with ff pair for sabo cdrr would be better poison jiquanis than ignite jiquanis elementalist

#

ignite with smth that generates sm hits without much cast speed feels wasteful

pulsar dune
#

DB did a poison assa jiquanis

frigid wedge
#

lwmme go look

#

only jiquanis i can find is ice spear

#

assass

#

oh u didnt say it was id

#

but ye I imagine poison on if us always gonna beat ignite on a level playing field

#

issue i had with my id build was that the suffixes were incredibly heavy tho

pulsar dune
#

Could you fix that with divine flesh font of thunder?

frigid wedge
#

what is there to fix

#

the only real way to potentially save a suffix or 2 was to get attributes in my 3 notable clusters and craft a second cogwork

#

kinda hit a wall where i wanted to either remake cogwork, boots or ammy and all of them were like 50 to 100d crafts in theory

#

so i didnt

pulsar dune
#

damn, heavy suffix presssure on 2 res sucks

frigid wedge
#

and now i have my 300d unfinished pbrand body this league ._.

frigid wedge
brazen vector
pulsar dune
#

makes sense

frigid wedge
#

my issue was i wanted to recraft 3 diff things to swap my setup to fire instead of light so i could get dawnbreaker over font

#

and it cost too much to want to

#

i could technically return to playing league and make them instead of throwing divs at this body armour

#

just to say i finished the build

Yo I am new to the game can some1 tell me which weapon is better

lean urchin
#

the sword is slightly better

stuck phoenix
#

You mainly just care about the dps

#

You can basically kinda ignore the modifiers and just look at the stats at the top

#

At least early

BEWARE

#

some skills require certain types, like axes/maces only

more news at 11

tawdry olive
#

just one of the few genius ideas coming from me

lean urchin
#

ive seen people asking about something similar, they just followed a guide, but used 2 wands instead of shield

tawdry olive
#

there's also the classic "wait why cant i use my skill now"

#

> has 4 unreserved mana

lean urchin
#

poe1 has information overload, you hover over a gem and see 90% of AI's training data

"why can't I use my skill now" when it's linked to cwdt

"hmm... i cant seem to use frostblink..."
> socketed into svalinn

stuck phoenix
#

Or adding a support with a weapon requirement

#

What really annoys me though is when they say they didn't do anything but if you ask they did do something

#

Doesn't happen that often though

#

But also slightly annoying that people don't just, take a second look at what they just did that broke their build

elfin shale
#

So with Low Tolerance on non-Mamba, if you accidentally apply a second poison you basically deal no dps for like 2s right

pulsar dune
#

The first poison keeps its big damage

elfin shale
#

Yeah but once it runs out i cant apply another low tolerance

#

So i have to wait for the second poison to run out

stuck phoenix
#

You have to wait for all poisons to run out

#

But putting an arbitrary time frame on that is odd

#

Because they will run in parallel

#

So the time is the same as the difference from when you applied the first poison and when you applied the last poison

Sup guys, I thought about PoE after you guys told me about the "character reset every 4 months and you start again thing"

I was wondering, what if one just plays in the standard league instead? or like, you start in the temporary league and after 4 month you can move to the permanent with the same character?

Is there any way to like cleanse poisons on an enemy

elfin shale
#

Do melee splash or additional strike targets hit worms

pulsar dune
#

Afaik yes to both

shut lotus
#

emh sorry what is economy and less player mean? like, what does it implies (?)

also, patch notes can brick my character? what does that means as well?

(sorry this is a new world for me lol UHM )

stuck phoenix
#

Economy refers to player trading

#

Every new league comes with a major update which brings some balance changes

Brick = 🧱

Generally speaking most builds, even if hit by nerfs, will still function just fine next version too

I paid 40c for one of the worst gems in the game in Standard a while ago, lol

pulsar dune
#

Hexblast is a recent example

elfin shale
shut lotus
#

riiiiiight

and if I decide to start on temporary but then have a change of heart, can that character move to standard? or will it be deleted in any case at the league end?

elfin shale
#

Characters arent deleted

#

They move to standard

pulsar dune
#

Characters and stash moves to standard after the league ends

elfin shale
#

Thats why everything is so expensive, all of the accumulated wealth from yeara and years and years is in standard

lean urchin
#

and older version of items still exsising, so u can get scammed even

shut lotus
#

Alright I'm sold! Game is playable yes? like, nothing extremely broken like most EA on steam? I heard PoE2 has been out for a while (even tho I discovered it...yesterday)

You're in the POE1 channel, but poe2 peeps also seem to be having fun

ye thought i hit somthing big

50% less dps mmm

Ok not quite

Since you only get 90% at 21/20

Or 92 at 20/23

But more than 40% less dps

trying to divine it more but faustus got it hostage

Btw yeah cws on shako is never actually good

It might have value on a flat support

demand on catas were to high those "multiboxers" are slacking hard

They just spam w catalyzing and inscribed no?

Not so much farming catas

#

And those who do farm catas without the scarabs do it on scoured maps

Why is cold dot excluded from the crit strike affliction philosophy?

spice pecan
#

cold dots don't come from hits as far as i'm aware?

ancient sorrel
#

Cold dot is so lacking tools next to poison / ignite

spice pecan
#

like the dot component of cold dot skills is usually not based on the hit but rather a secondary effect

Vortex hits too, i forgot

spice pecan

it does yeah, that's what i was mostly thinking of

#

frostblades of katabasis does too

#

but i feel like ground type effects are a bit different

#

it would be cool if alchemist's mark worked with chilled ground dot, but that wouldn't help vortex

scenic yoke
#

affects phisical dmg on weapon dmg of rage psirits?

spice pecan
#

if your weapon says "adds x damage", it only affects attacks with that weapon

#

"adds x damage to spells" affects spells you cast, which also i don't think affects srs

scenic yoke
#

i cant find nothink useful where srs take base dmg

#

the hint only say Summons a short-lived flaming skull that rushes at nearby enemies and attacks them rapidly, converting all its physical damage to fire.

that's also a good point that i missed because i just woke up lmao

spice pecan
#

oh it is, i just tried googling it with poedb rather than searching tradesite xd

ancient sorrel
#

100% crit pointless if u cant benefit from it

spice pecan
#

take inner conviction for 3% more spell damage per pc maybe then

#

but yes generally pc stacking on builds that don't benefit from crit is not very good

pulsar dune
#

Dot multi per PC is an odd one, yeah. Usually you do want to go crit with power charges.

ancient sorrel
#

IC + forbidden power is okish, but not build making

pulsar dune
#

And can't really coc cold dot for obvious reasons

stuck phoenix
#

Well, maybe that's what you meant

#

Yea, that's what I meant

#

DoT multi per pc is probably for PA

spice pecan
#

yeah, tho i don't think inner conviction is even worth pc stacking

#

going out of your way for 10 pcs for 30% more seems bad

#

maybe i'm wrong

pulsar dune
#

There are a couple more PC stack payoffs you can get, but too many are crit related for this to really work well I'd expect

ancient sorrel
#

10 pc is 200 dot multi.
Pretty certain than +4 tulfall provides as much dmg

#

Paying the price of stacking 10pc just for the multi seems giga trap

#

Affliction gem would have made it ok

Oh the elusive effecr

Effect is 219%, uptime means you're on average at 110% i think?

tidal estuary
#

ah so it takes the average value

elfin shale
#

You can set it to use Max in config

#

I might be wrong and its just being weird though

tidal estuary
#

i was wondering how it pulls those 110%

#

since i thought it should be additively calculated

#

and the base was supposed to be 100% already

#

there seems to be something wrong with the rounding

elfin shale
#

110% would mean it rounds up yeah

tidal estuary
#

PoB shows same effect for 110, 111, 112 AND 113

#

it rounds up only on 114

elfin shale
#

Though i think that may technically be correct, as its 1 - X not 0 - X

#

Oh huh

wait a minute, why did I spend 1 div on this Timeless Jewel with "Gain 1 Endurance Charge every second if you've been Hit Recently" when the Inexorable node is right there

25% chance to gain an endurance charge on getting hit, on a CWS build, is functionally just the same thing

well, good thing I didn't spend more than a div I guess

this initial PoB I grabbed for this build kind of sucks ass

nah the comments are all "wow this build is so cool" because it does the one thing it's designed to do

#

maybe I got a bad one but it's tasteless

proud gorge
#

if there's one thing about pringles, it's that they go soft on their flavoring powders

but then again it's a pretty mild flavour

#

just get Sour Cream and Onion, there's a reason it's everyone's favorite flavor

though I do also enjoy a good dill pickle chip

because comma is a valid decimal separator in a big portion of the world

This is probably a dumb question, but I've played a bit of PoE2 and loved it when it came out, but want to leave that one on the back burner til it actually comes out fully. Wanna try out PoE1 but I hear it's kinda in the middle/late end of a league rn. Does that make it a bad time to get into it, or is there plenty of time til the next one still?

2025-10-31 7:00:00 PM expect it to end around four months after this

#

so end of feb, or early the month after probably

high path
#

Im not too worried about player numbers, was more worried about time itself. I know if you want to do the next league you gotta make a new character, so I just wanted to make sure I wasnt trying to beat a tight clock here haha

#

But glad to hear theres plenty of time still

stuck phoenix
#

you have at least 1.5 months

proud gorge
stuck phoenix
#

probably about 2 months

proud gorge
#

and then next league you can come in on a fresh start, with the knowledge now under your belt

high path
#

This will probably be a throwaway league for me for sure. I can make a shit character and not really worry about building properly til next league I guess haha

proud gorge
#

it's also a very good league to start in because stuff like good starter gear is really easily accessible via the Genesis Tree

#

and as a result stuff like decent 6-link rares are ridiculously cheap

elfin shale
#

What happens if you reapply a curse while wearing Fated End?

high path
#

Glad to hear

stuck phoenix
#

Curse is overwritten

#

Curses are the one thing that has a limit

elfin shale
#

Do weaker curses normally overwrite a stronger version of the same curse?

stuck phoenix
#

Yes, I'm very sure

elfin shale
#

Annoying

proud gorge
elfin shale
#

And Fated End doesnt prevent curses from expiring due to duration right?

proud gorge
#

no

#

it just adds a second expire condition

stuck phoenix
#

It doesn't do what it doesn't say

#

lol

earnest raven
#

Oops

#

You know I have double tap emotes on

stuck phoenix
#

I did not

#

I turned it off the same day

#

It's an insane feature

proud gorge
#

you can clearly see curses overwriting themselves if you have a curse-on-hit ring and hit an enemy a ton of times per second

#

like Despair on Hit ring with FRoSS

#

you just get a cloud of Despair particles above their head

stuck phoenix
#

yeah but maybe he was hoping it'd be different specifically for stronger curses

#

ring is really just, manual cast curse

#

recast when it runs out

#

don't need to think

#

if it's temp chains you do need a little inc effect/inc dura tho

#

well, assuming you have a perfect roll ring

#

actually

#

you don't really

proud gorge
#

I assume the main use case of Fated End is stacking up a ton of Curse Effect so that your curses end instantly

stuck phoenix
#

well, you'd get a fraction of a second more time at max effect

stuck phoenix
elfin shale
proud gorge
#

you only need like 180% increased curse effect for it to end instantly, that's probably doable

stuck phoenix
#

80%

#

but you don't benefit from it

elfin shale
#

It kinda gimps your build to do it iirc

stuck phoenix
#

unless you also run blasphemy

proud gorge
#

oh good point yeah, that's 180% of base effect, not 180% increased effect

#

I just figured that, given that the main benefit of the ring seems to be letting you end your curses super early, it'd probably work well with anything that triggers off a curse ending

#

but yeah, probably a bit of a weird build

stuck phoenix
#

oh wait i'm silly, you don't need anything for temp chains either

#

they all just end after 6 seconds basically

#

unless you have less/reduced effect

proud gorge
#

wait, lmao, I just realized, this variation of the 99% block gladiator build isn't running Petrified Blood

spice pecan
#

why run pet blood, just block everything 4Head

proud gorge
#

I suppose I can see it, this build isn't actually a Low Life build, so it doesn't particularly benefit from reserving half of their life and using petrified blood

#

so it leaves like 80% of their life unreserved

spice pecan
#

pet blood is only really good on like, LL casters and pathfinders i think

proud gorge
#

though a quick check in PoB does show that equipping Petrified Blood would actually seem to improve the max hit

#

40% of life loss prevented below half life, at half life, means you take 60% of damage on 50% of your health pool, thus acting effectively like 83.3% of max life

#

so if your unreserved life without Petrified Blood is below 83.3% of max life, Petrified Blood improves your max hit

#

I guess they just don't consider Petrified Blood to be worth the gem socket?

#

hmm, yeah this build seem to get immediately better by just equipping Petrified Blood

#

and also cheaper, since I can ditch a level 4 Enlighten

#

to make room for the Petrified Blood gem

spice pecan
#

i think bleed bow glad is a bit too overwhelming for leaguestarting the PL on friday

#

spectre on a non-minion build, day 1 ryslatha, having to care about weapon dps etc

#

i am now in Panic Mode (tm)

tepid dagger
#

Whats light radius

spice pecan
#

the radius at which you can see in dark areas or when you're low life

tepid dagger
#

Light radius is shit

spice pecan
#

yes

#

except for the light radius stacking levelling build

#

but even then its still shit lol

#

you only take the ES mastery for light radius if you're playing ivory tower

#

since without it you literally cannot see shit

tepid dagger
#

Might only be good for delving if it works

spice pecan
#

it doesn't work in delve

tepid dagger
#

Boom

#

Ass

spice pecan
#

darkness is darkness, separate thing

proud gorge
#

Light Radius is one of those funny stats that they put in really early on and then never took out, so it remains on items as a sort of funny "bad" mod except when using specifically the light radius uniques

tepid dagger
#

Oof

opaque sphinx
#

nerds

proud gorge
#

but yeah, it varying with health pool fullness is kind of terrible

opaque sphinx
#

we back to sirus prison

tepid dagger
opaque sphinx
#

no ur a big nerd

tepid dagger
#

Get a job

opaque sphinx
#

the biggest even

#

i just got back from work smh

tepid dagger
#

Nerd

proud gorge
#

because it means that any build that's super low on life all the time (eg: Rathpith) just has no light radius and can't see anything

opaque sphinx
#

hater

proud gorge
#

Blood Sacrament doesn't even have the ability to take the ES mastery because they also have no ES

#

so they just suffer on indoor maps

opaque sphinx
tepid dagger
#

Price?

spice pecan
#

we don't price check in here, but also, we dont know anyways because console economy is different

stuck phoenix
#

Ngl looks meh

#

Supported by mods tend to not really make sense below a 7l

#

And as a weapon this has bad dps

tepid dagger
#

3 exalts i bought for 25c each to craft hits cant be evaded

stuck phoenix
#

Inc phys but no flat

#

No inc as

tepid dagger
#

Whats the difference between league and standard besides tree

spice pecan
#

standard still has old breach

#

old atlas too probably idk i dont play standard

opaque sphinx
#

nerds

spice pecan
#

oh so standard can't even juice the old breach that exists there lol

opaque sphinx
#

why cant i hire mappers to fight uber sirus

livid halo
#

Which one for flicker strike? Too lazy to open pob

stuck phoenix
#

Rakiata's isn't really something you slap on

#

And if it is, rakiata's wins basically always

spice pecan
#

rakiata's with purity of elements and runegraft of treachery probably goes pretty hard

#

if you can fit in the runegraft and the aura

normal hedge
#

Rakiata + Runegraft of Treachery + triple purity

spice pecan
#

or that if you really want to go all in yeah

livid halo
#

Damn those runegrafts are 1d each on console

#

Rakiata itself is 4d

#

Rare sword is just 1d

elfin shale
#

4d Rakiata's is a pretty good deal isnt it

opaque sphinx
#

no

#

t0s are 3d

#

i mean i guess rakiata has some use

#

but like

#

just recombo a banishing blade

elfin shale
#

I thought it usually sat closer to 10d

opaque sphinx
#

dunno been 3-4 alll league for most part

#

at least since i been checking

#

whats this? a real challenge? you've finally caught my attention

hard cliff
#

@elfin shale

#

what you playing brother ?

spice pecan
#

man, fuck, i don't want to insta delete this gladiator but bleed builds are just so awkward

hard cliff
#

Why did you do it

spice pecan
#

this is a tall order but is there any half-decent bleed glad build that isn't eviscerate or bleed slayer slams

hard cliff
#

Hey @spice pecan

#

I was gonna league start this

#

let me find it

spice pecan
#

for pohx PL

hard cliff
#

Ohhh their is a pohxpl ?

spice pecan
#

don't want to play RF

hard cliff
#

This looked cool

spice pecan
#

yes, i've been following that

#

and it's extremely awkward

hard cliff
#

uh oh

#

Why ?

spice pecan
#

volatility + ryslathas = you're fishing for good bleeds for fucking ever

#

playing a spectre on a non minion build is cringe

hard cliff
#

Didn't see it had spectre

#

ooof

#

I'

#

am out lol

spice pecan
#

and then finding a good phys bow and quiver is like pulling teeth

spice pecan
#

i'm only in act 6 with the build but i can sort of see where the problems start to arise

hard cliff
#

I just used it on my Eblade for the fast kitties

#

Zero maintence for that

#

I really like it as a last ascendascy point already

#

I think it'll be at least midly popular next league if it gets no changes

#

it's literally just "crit for free attack or cast speed"

#

"Each Spectral Tiger grants 25% increased Global Critical Strike Chance, 7% increased Attack Speed, and 7% increased Cast Speed to the owner, for up to 125% increased global crit chance and 35% increased attack and cast speed."

spice pecan
#

i will say that the build is kind of nice in the campaign so far

#

you can literally start it right out the gate and once you get bleed pops it gets quite satisfying

hard cliff
#

What the hell are you taking on farruls

spice pecan
#

farrul's presence will, the bottom one

hard cliff
#

Farruls' Wild Presence is an Aura which grants 20% increased Attack, Cast and Movement Speed and prevents Action Speed from being lowered below the Base Value.

#

ohhh the other one

#

that's not bad

#

little bit of regen and a ton of damage plus stun immunity

#

aight

spice pecan
#

i mean it's probably not ass to run a spectre but the build is kinda socket starved

hard cliff
#

that let's you take precise technique I assume

spice pecan
#

well you take RT

hard cliff
#

???????????????????????????

#

Why

elfin shale
spice pecan
#

so you don't need to click accuracy, idk

elfin shale
#

If you mean next league im thinking Pestilent Strike

hard cliff
#

Does attack damage affect the bleed

elfin shale
#

It dont

hard cliff
#

Ahhh ok then

#

nevermind

#

Raised Beast Spectres have 3 additional modifiers randomly chosen in each Area

#

Spooky headhunter

elfin shale
#

@lean urchin the liarrrr

hard cliff
lean urchin
#

but bleeds are based of a hit

#

so it does help

hard cliff
#

You should make a youtube video or two demonstrating that if you haven't aleady

spice pecan
#

"Potential damage from one bleed application is based on the base physical damage of attack that caused it: 70% per second if the target is standing still (reduced to 10% if an enemy monster applied it). If the target is moving or are affected by Aggravated Bleeding, bleeding deals additional damage equal to twice the base, for a total of 3 times the base damage (210% per second)"

hard cliff
#

I feel like maybe you did

elfin shale
#

I havent

#

I did give my PoB to someone on reddit so i have a disciple

hard cliff
#

You should

spice pecan
#

which is why ryslatha's + volatility is so wildly inconsistent

#

i feel like if you had a source of lucky damage on the build it would maybe feel better

hard cliff
#

I have very good news for you Mythik

#

you can get lucky on a build for 1 chaos

elfin shale
#

Do delve rings roll with temporal chains on hit

#

Or am i gonna need corrupted gloves

spice pecan
#

or wait

#

maybe from chaos nodes if those exist, idk

spice pecan
elfin shale
#

Thatd be Despair tho

#

and they do exist i have one on my thing i havent done

stuck phoenix
spice pecan
stuck phoenix
#

Also no

spice pecan
#

god i hate this fucking game

lean urchin
#

what

stuck phoenix
#

They're based on the damage before multipliers apply

#

Ie, inc phys doesn't get to apply twice

#

Inc attack doesn't apply

lean urchin
hard cliff
#

you gotta click a button though

elfin shale
#

kinda fucked up this cluster is almost bow agnostic lol

stuck phoenix
#

Double or triple damage don't get to apply, crit multi doesn't apply, enemy armour doesn't apply either

lean urchin
#

so bleed facebreak is trash

#

i guess "what is base damage"

stuck phoenix
#

Correct

#

It even says so on its wiki page

stuck phoenix
lean urchin
#

u should get helper role or something

stuck phoenix
#

I don't have permission to add it to me

#

No manage roles perm

#

Xddd

spice pecan
#

so does a crit inflicting a bleed actually increase the damage the bleed does, then? even if crit multi only scales the hit damage

spice pecan
#

right, i guess i was asking a question that i can't put into words

stuck phoenix
#

Critical strikes have +50% dot multi by default

lean urchin
#

"Damaging ailments (bleeding, poison, and ignite) from critical strikes do not scale with crit multi by default, but inherently have +50% to Damage over Time Multiplier, additive with other sources of Damage over Time Multiplier stats."

stuck phoenix
#

Ur slow

lean urchin
#

im delving

stuck phoenix
#

Imagine needing to quote the wiki

#

I'm just on phone

proud gorge
#

I gotta say, I do find it funny that, despite being theoretically an ES item, Valyrium is used almost exclusively on CWS builds with almost no or no ES

spice pecan
#

so crit is effectively useless therefore clicking RT is always the right play

#

and fuck accuracy

stuck phoenix
#

Also, there's a reason Perfect Agony exists lol

spice pecan
stuck phoenix
#

Its sole purpose is making crit multi apply to dot multi

spice pecan
#

and bricking like four notables

stuck phoenix
#

If crit multi already applied to dot it wouldn't be good ever

fickle glen
#

This is the only game I ever failed in making a strong build

proud gorge
#

Valyrium theoretically has a place on ES builds, making them not get stunned on every attack, but like, not only does ES inherently have a 50% chance to avoid stuns, Brine King pantheon exists, and that's enough "stun immunity" for most builds

stuck phoenix
spice pecan
proud gorge
#

and plus any ES build that really needs stun immunity can probably get it cheaper than a ring slot

fickle glen
#

So many secrets to this game

stuck phoenix
#

Es mastery is why it isn't used

#

Pure es is misery with only brine king

#

You get stunned by basically every hit always, sure you get a 2s cooldown

#

But imagine being stunned every 2s

proud gorge
fickle glen
stuck phoenix
#

Your character does an oof animation

fickle glen
#

Like a budge?

stuck phoenix
#

There's no other visual indication

proud gorge
# fickle glen What does stun look like in this game?

when you get hit for damage over a certain percentage of your life (the "stun threshhold"), you do a little stun animation, which knocks you out of any other active animations and stops you from inputting actions for a second

#

well, not for a second

#

for a very small amount of time

fickle glen
#

Oh so like stagger

stuck phoenix
#

Sure

lean urchin
#

omgomgomgmog

lean urchin
#

do i have to type it

stuck phoenix
#

No

spice pecan
#

N OMEGALUL

stuck phoenix
#

Xddd

#

I'm just slow on phone

hard cliff
#

@spice pecan

#

did you get it?

spice pecan
#

get what

stuck phoenix
#

And also because I'm not used to this

spice pecan
#

the graft tech? meh

proud gorge
# fickle glen Oh so like stagger

the thing is, while the stagger from stun is pretty short, in the later parts of the game you get hit a lot, very very quickly, so if your stun threshhold is low and your're getting stunned on most attacks, you can end up getting stunlocked

stuck phoenix
#

You can get stun locked pretty early too lol

proud gorge
#

yeah, when your max life is low

stuck phoenix
#

Rhoa gang is a classic

proud gorge
#

new Act 1 enemies are no joke

stuck phoenix
#

Aka, life + mitigation

stuck phoenix
fickle glen
#

I see why stun immunity is so useful

proud gorge
#

but yeah, this is why most builds try to find some way to deal with Stun, though the most common and easiest method is just to equip Brine King pantheon, which makes it so that if you get stunned, you're stun immune for 4 seconds

stuck phoenix
#

You often don't need total immunity

proud gorge
#

so you can only get stunned at most once every 4 seconds

stuck phoenix
#

But you do need to keep stun in mind

stuck phoenix
#

It's still 2s

proud gorge
#

I thought it was "recently"?

stuck phoenix
#

No

#

It's 2s

proud gorge
#

ah, I don't have it in front of me, but yeah makes sense

stuck phoenix
#

Thought you were confused with the es stun avoid lel

lean urchin
stuck phoenix
#

Imagine not knowing brine king by heart

#

I use it almost every league

proud gorge
#

I don't tend to play Brine King builds smh

stuck phoenix
#

Smh

proud gorge
#

smbk

spice pecan
#

so you play jugg every leg

stuck phoenix
#

Actually I use it literally every league

spice pecan

proud gorge
# fickle glen This is the only game I ever failed in making a strong build

but yeah, that's honestly one of PoE's biggest issues for new player experience, it practically doesn't help you at all with your builds. Most other games have more simple and more boxed-in build structure available, and will do their best to guide you into good things. PoE, by comparison, is ridiculously large and complex, the amount of builds you can pick from are near endless, but it doesn't handhold you at all with your builds.

fickle glen
#

Idk how to do that

stuck phoenix
#

That was a message that should've been yoinked by a bot which would then paste a message

#

The most "handholding" PoE does is by giving you skill gems and support gems that are vaguely "supposed" to be used by the class you're currently playing

stuck phoenix
#

Oh bot woke up now

#

Amazing

stuck phoenix
proud gorge
#

except it doesn't tell you which work with which, or what's good, or how to build things

stuck phoenix
proud gorge
#

or what items to use, or skill links, or auras, or any of that

fickle glen
stuck phoenix
#

Definitely

#

Well, tbh poe does have very good balancing relative to the complexity

#

But much of it is by just looking at meta and nerfing

thick goblet
stuck phoenix
#

And buffing off meta sometimes

lean urchin
stuck phoenix
proud gorge
#

I mean, there's certainly some overpowered builds out there, but PoE isn't really a game where there can truly be a single "strongest" build, unless it's just actually completely broken, like, 10x better than every other build in every category

#

like, the build that currently has the highest DPS is like 1000x or more stronger than the more "average" DPS for endgame builds, but it barely matters

fickle glen
#

I have not found a build that doesn’t come with weaknesses yet

proud gorge
#

there's very little functional difference between 100 mil DPS and 10 billion DPS at the endgame

stuck phoenix
proud gorge
#

and most builds survive just fine on like 10-60 mil

fickle glen
sinful cove
#

I eat the green apples

stuck phoenix
#

There's no build without a weakness

proud gorge
#

I mean

sinful cove
#

Yes there is, silence

#

Kinetic Blast of Clustering is, like, the epitome of a Jack of All Trades build this league

fickle glen
proud gorge
#

it's cheap to start, good scaling with investment, good clear, good DPS, good tankiness, fast, easy, simple

#

it's not the best at any of that

#

but it'll do everything, and it'll do it well

thick goblet
sinful cove
#

I’m getting one tapped in T1, I suck for some reason. I did a lot better on PS5

stuck phoenix
#

Lol

#

Post build

sinful cove
#

Anyway, it’s tap time. I’ll be back

proud gorge
#

so I'd probably call KBoC Necro a build with no clear weaknesses

stuck phoenix
#

Amazing

proud gorge
#

I guess their phys max hit isn't the greatest?

#

but they have plenty of room to invest into it

#

there's KBoC Necros out there running around with like 20k phys max hit

#

I guess they're... weaker when they can't leech?

stuck phoenix
#

See? Weakness

#

Xddd

#

Another weakness? Likely to be nerfed next league :p

#

Or not, I dunno

#

Though is the single target dps good?

proud gorge
#

it's good enough for Ubers yeah

stuck phoenix
#

Oh well

proud gorge
#

from what I've seen (I haven't played it myself) their single target DPS is actually quite good, in fact

#

again, not top tier, but good at everything

lean urchin

15 divines removed from economy

fickle glen
#

A I says I need to do enough damage to take 10% of an enemies life with a shocking skill to apply %50 shock which is the maximum, is this true?

#

I am thinking about becoming lightning user only

sage falcon
#

use wiki, not ai!!

#

but remember you can scale with ailment effect

#

so for example if you have 100% effect of non-damaging ailments, you only need to deal 17.68% to get 50% shock

fickle glen
#

I’m not what the threshold mean

sage falcon
#

so high life = high threshold = need to deal high damage to shock for high %

sage falcon
# fickle glen I’m not what the threshold mean

wiki, again:

In the great majority of cases, a monster's ailment threshold is equal to its maximum life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required life thresholds.[2] Playtesting estimates the ailment threshold on Sirus, the Awakener of Worlds to be 25 million damage, or approximately 35% of boss life.[3]

is profane bloom still decent if you aren't scaling chaos hit damage?

yes

spice pecan

it might be wintertide time

#

anyone try that impending doom build with the foulborn unique helm? how hard/expensive is it to build

opaque sphinx
#

50c

#

ez

spice pecan
#

get exactly 3 curse limit, wear vixen's entrapment, go to town

opaque sphinx
#

buy helm buy vixen buy unlight ur good to go

spice pecan
#

do not get 2 curse limit, do not get 4 curse limit

#

get exactly 3

dreamy charm
#

is it that easy to get might try that build in the pohx pl then

spice pecan
#

you'll have to play something else till the helm and vixen's entrapment become available

#

ideally also you'd want rebuke of the vaal as a starter weapon too i think

opaque sphinx
#

unlight

spice pecan
#

ew

dreamy charm
#

might start as explosive arrow then untill i can get that gear ty for advice

spice pecan
#

rebuke of the vaal purists ONLY

opaque sphinx
#

15 wither beats any and all 1 hands till u spend like a few d

spice pecan
#

but yeah unlight is actually pretty good

#

assuming you're playing poison

#

if ignite then rebuke beats it

opaque sphinx
#

even not

#

its good for hit for imp doom

spice pecan
#

you don't play hit based tho

#

actually you can on assassin with the rework

opaque sphinx
#

ye but u can when u have a lvl 30 gem for free

spice pecan
#

because of the crit, but you would need a high base crit weapon

#

it has like 5% base crit

#

it's really hard to build as hit even with that imo

#

but it's possible

opaque sphinx
#

u dont need to crit too

#

till invest

dreamy charm
#

explosive arrow still ok right as a start right? i did reap already dont want to do that again

spice pecan
#

EA ballista? ive heard it's good and tanky but you have to wait 3 business days for damage

opaque sphinx
#

how did u go from wanting to play a really strong and cheap build after us confirming it is both very strong and very cheap

#

to wanting to play ea ballista

dreamy charm
#

for the private league on friday sorry i didnt specify

spice pecan
#

because you probably can't level as impending doom on leaguestart for PL yeah

opaque sphinx
#

ah
