[tawdry goblet]

should i just follow captainlance eb inquis build

[hard cliff]

Yeah

you should

[opaque sphinx]

omi talks to you too

oni*

[cobalt blade]

(its completely unrelated to the insanity from doppelgangers)

[hard cliff]

Jack the axe has voice lines

but they're very quiet thankfully

Stupid strong unique btw

[elfin shale]

I still cant believe Jack got to be meta for a league

[tawdry goblet]

so im down to two builds, energy blade or exangui reap mines!!!!

[opaque sphinx]

catmines

[cobalt blade]

energy blade reap mines

[elfin shale]

I really want to play Whispers of Infinity Reap

[hard cliff]

To what end

🤔

why play reap when cats

[tawdry goblet]

i should definitely play reap

[elfin shale]

ES cost instead of life cost

to what end beyond that idk

[cobalt blade]

to click ci

[hard cliff]

Me neither but I'm playing ignite reap

so I can't judge anyone

[elfin shale]

truuue

[thick goblet]

oh really? i thought it was the same

[cobalt blade]

yuh it do be separate

[young charm]

When new league

[tawdry goblet]

im still looking at energy blade videos on youtube lol

[signal hawk]

I just want new league, new skill, make a subpar build with it with 0 knowledge, regret then reroll

[silent leaf]

2 months

[weak scroll]

Hi! Im kinda new to the game. Learning now to do a good start next league.
I have 4 divs budget and want a build to do high lvl content.
My actual build is cyclone of tumult doing T16 "easy" but my PoB say only 1.5m DPS and the PoB I get do max 5m.
Someone can help me with a build/guide with this budget?
My actual build cost about 80 chaos so I think I can do much better with 4 divs.

[tawdry goblet]

so whats the concept of energy blade, is it an active skill or like a buff. so Es turns into damage?

[cobalt blade]

buff

your weapon is replaced with an energy blade that keeps the sockets but nothin else of your weapon

[elder marlin]

it reserve energy shield and give flat lightning depending on how much es u reserve with the skill

[tawdry goblet]

ohhh and from there i use any skill i want

[elder marlin]

ur main hand weapon is also replaced by a white weapon

[cobalt blade]

p much

[elder marlin]

yea

[silent leaf]

First problem is Cyclone

[tawdry goblet]

so i need to scale as much es as possible

[silent leaf]

Will just say that outright

[elder marlin]

yes

[silent leaf]

Cyclone is one of the worst skills in the game bar none

The only use of that is to proc other stuff that actually does damage

[elder marlin]

its like ephem with more dmg but no resolute techique corrupt

[silent leaf]

You can do endgame content with fucking kitchen utencils

[pseudo axle]

is shrapnel specialist a good forbidden flame jewel?

[silent leaf]

While cyclone needs 50d budget to be on par with some league starter builds

[weak scroll]

Thats why Im looking for another build

[silent leaf]

If your looking into going endgame the fastest, it's Slammers

[pseudo axle]

ayyy a few div nice

[silent leaf]

20 hours uber in league start if your skilled enough

Uber boss + 5 frags

If your going comfort, RF -> swap into CWS

After getting currency in day 1 of the league start

[weak scroll]

Nah, im new player.
On videos guys have slots to scarabs, i dont know how to get this. 20 hours full content is a dream...

[tawdry goblet]

why no CI on captainlance build

[silent leaf]

Slammers / RF is what I recommend since they need only scraps to do higher tier content without much effort

[tawdry goblet]

nvm he does spec but more towards endgame

[silent leaf]

Or retaliation / bleed gladiator but it's heavy on Zero dps

[weak scroll]

I tryed RF but its a build easy to play but costly to do great damage.
Chenged to cyclone and same problems.

[silent leaf]

cyclone is basically a worse RF

smaller aoe, less damage and less movement speed

1/4 of the tank

[silent leaf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/185829045596848129/1365056525571457065/2025-02-17_20-11-24_Trim-1_1.mp4?ex=69655475&is=696402f5&hm=cf07b54665d460c370ad9d3b9686bb4e985d0b2f70a39093112eb0bc1fbdf415& you can do this with gladiator on league start

but be prepared to do 1 minute bosses

[weak scroll]

My RF needs a lot to be better now. Maybe a veteran player knows easily how to let my actual build useful but im a little lost.

[signal hawk]

If you are a new player you should mostly worry about learning the ways at your pace, if you try to be ultra efficient rn you will only burn out

[elder marlin]

if that map has less recovery or no recovery hes ded in a few seconds

[silent leaf]

not rly

i have 100 life on block there lmao

i dont use recovery at all

lmao

my max hit is 2k

[silent leaf]

the problem with RF is specialization mostly

kinda depends on what RF ur going for

RF isnt rly used for bossing at all since bosses has hp and its a mapping build

if you just want to map faster, regular RF is the choice

if you want safety but pace of a fucking snail, CWS

RF

if you want kinda in the middle, you stack explode

[proud gorge]

RF is notable for being very easy to play but hard to scale. It's very possible to scale it to high degrees, but yeah it's heavily dependent on a lot of things, and typically the highest scaling RF builds (in terms of actual RF damage) tend not to actually be life-based since life is probably the hardest to scale health pool out of the three you can use RF with

[weak scroll]

I know bosses are a little to much for RF
Its one of mnotives I change
But Cyclone appears to be "weak"
So Im lokking for a new build to start next league and one wich I can upgrade for high endgame content

[silent leaf]

slammers

[proud gorge]

most traditional RF builds use Fire Trap for their bossing/single target

[silent leaf]

using act 9 axe to do pinnacles

[weak scroll]

Im doing it

[silent leaf]

you are also forced to glue your neck and rings for dot multi

[rancid sluice]

you have to look at rf as just your clear period unless you go waay into it

[silent leaf]

yea thats my only gripe with RF, needing gear to function

"gear" ig with stacking fire res if your on the lower end

DoT multi if you can craft the gear

[umbral crag]

How pain is it to craft the int stacker simplex now

[normal hedge]

sushi made a vídeo about it, not too hard

[silent leaf]

https://youtu.be/YQxWjcsPlFk

if you want a build that has been dominating for 3 leagues on league start price

[weak scroll]

Craft is out of my league.
Very basic is the only thing I know now.
I think buy stuffs better for me now.

[silent leaf]

AFAIK ben in the video / run didnt craft anything besides buying faustus gear

somewhat a guide with leveling step by step

in the video description

[normal hedge]

being afraid of learning how to craft is #1 mistake imo

[silent leaf]

< lazy to craft and leads into the path of banners

[normal hedge]

you dont even play

[silent leaf]

alt spam for t1 life -> aug -> regal -> bench craft and its ready for ubers

[normal hedge]

[silent leaf]

wym

i played 4 league start PLs this league

[weak scroll]

I tryed a lot but I dont have all drops to do some things like beasts and others stuffs.
So i stay on basics currency and craft table.

[silent leaf]

i dipped 2 of them after failing simulacrums day 1

[umbral crag]

Probably should craft it soon. 50% more dmg for my build is huge

[silent leaf]

the other 2 i did sims day 1 tho

[umbral crag]

So broke tho @.@

270m to 400m

[silent leaf]

im going back to HCSSF slowly

[normal hedge]

if ure unlucky its more expensive to craft one, especially because of beast prices

[umbral crag]

Yeah true >.> What with my luck kek

[normal hedge]

but someone told me ammy is going down in prices

[umbral crag]

Imprint can revert influenced gears right

[umbral crag]

170 uncrafted, 390 crafted

[normal hedge]

gotta check if 220d is enough to hit the 3rd mod

• the bases are like 1d each

[umbral crag]

Gotta run all my blueprints, surely simplex will drop

Coping

[umbral crag]

The donor ammy?

[normal hedge]

Ya

[umbral crag]

I have two already prepared haha, dk if i wanna get a third

[split pagoda]

pretty happy with that time tbh for fresh start hc uber shaper, basically ssf

bens only what, twice as fast? xdd

[silent leaf]

20 hours

so thats kinda yea, 38 hours on yours

[split pagoda]

yup lol

[silent leaf]

also ZAMN boneshatter

also wait are you using ruthless support on boneshatter

[split pagoda]

i just follow the boneshatter god

soul

its bleed

[silent leaf]

whats v in the support gem?

thats melee phys, brutality, overexert and ruthless support right

[split pagoda]

ya and volatility

[silent leaf]

oh volatility

[ebon tendon]

does finding a hideout need the map to be a certain tier

[lean urchin]

no

[elder marlin]

oops

[fickle glen]

How to deal with monsters that are immune to what you run?

[lean urchin]

expedition?

[fickle glen]

Is it better to have every type of damage in your arsenal just incase you run into such monsters?

[twilit granite]

If I do a lv16 strand will it count towards the t3 strand atlas completion?

[lean urchin]

yes

[lean urchin]

i only deal fire, if the enemy is somehow immune to fire i leave it alone

[fickle glen]

I want to avoid that kind of situation lol

I don’t like leaving enemies alive

[lean urchin]

are you sure the mob is immune?

[fickle glen]

I have not run into any yet but I am aware there some out there that are immune

[lean urchin]

Expedition modifiers have immunity. And that one unique map or two

[fickle glen]

Is it a bad idea to have a bit of everything?

[lean urchin]

yes, dont assume youll find immune mobs

[fickle glen]

Chaos phy elements

[stuck phoenix]

mainly, don't make them immune to your damage

[stuck phoenix]

generally speaking, yes

actually no

Yes.

[fickle glen]

Overthinking?

[stuck phoenix]

not really

[rancid sluice]

theres specific builds that go into like tri elemental and stuff but for what youre suggesting it just isnt possible to spread your damage that far out and expect to get anywhere serious with it. you arent going to ber able to scale 5 different damage types

[umbral crag]

Definitrly overthinking

[fickle glen]

Ok let’s say a monster is fire immune and I have bleed with explosive arrows would the monster still resist bleed if I hit him with a fire attack such as explosive arrows?

[lean urchin]

fire dmg cant inflict bleed

[stuck phoenix]

no but your dps would be dogshit

in all scenarios

[fickle glen]

Really? So the chance to cause bleed only applies to phy attacks?

[stuck phoenix]

that

is

what they say

yes

[umbral crag]

Spreading dmg type usually means bad damage with most damage types. In which case you dont need them to be immune to dmg. You yourself let enemy be immune to your dmg with your feather damage

[stuck phoenix]

like, read any bleed chance mod

it will specify

[fickle glen]

I see…

[stuck phoenix]

the only reasonable damage type split that would matter for immune enemies is going tri ele

[fickle glen]

I do more research about this game than play it

There is just too much to learn about

[stuck phoenix]

but also just, again, don't make them immune to your damage type

it's an active choice to make an enemy immune to a damage type

it's not something random that just happens

[fickle glen]

How do I control what they are immune to?

[stuck phoenix]

you don't put an explosive next to a remnant that says immune to x where x is your damage type

[fickle glen]

Not following

[stuck phoenix]

the only place in the entire game that has the ability to make enemies immune to a damage type

is expedition

[rancid sluice]

the only immune monsters come from hoices you make in expeditions. monsters can be resistant to your damage other places

[stuck phoenix]

which is the mechanic where you place down explosives

near remnants

and then blow them up to spawn monsters and get chests

[fickle glen]

Ok I am following now

I forgot what expedition was sorry

That’s good to know then, I don’t have to worry about what I can run

[tight plinth]

30k ele max hit fine yeah?

[charred condor]

Guys I beat campaign for the first time!!!!

Also the second kitava fight was easier than the first

[stuck phoenix]

better build moment

enjoy your -30% res

[charred condor]

I didn’t die once on the final fight

[stuck phoenix]

and welcome to the real game

[charred condor]

🤩🤩🤩

[charred condor]

Yup

I also bought all the stash tabs

[rancid sluice]

i thought the real game started after you got a mageblood

[tight plinth]

why you laughing, i already have 80 max res and only 30k max hit 😭

[stuck phoenix]

all of them?

[charred condor]

No the main ones

[stuck phoenix]

ok

[charred condor]

Yippee

[lean urchin]

ggg store in crumbles, he got all of them

[charred condor]

One extra useful tab

Also do any of you have have 4 link all blue the baron helmet?

[stuck phoenix]

don't

[charred condor]

Ok

[lean urchin]

use the offline trade, make it 4L blue yourself

[charred condor]

Cus I got one

[charred condor]

Ohh I tried

[iron zephyr]

Yoooo

[tight plinth]

its easy

[iron zephyr]

Welcome to the start of the game

[stuck phoenix]

roll it to one socket

[charred condor]

I am now -34 chromas 🙁

[stuck phoenix]

chroma until 1 blue

[rancid sluice]

look up how to off color with jewellers and save yourself time and headaches

[stuck phoenix]

oh -34 wouldn't be bad

[charred condor]

Ok

[stuck phoenix]

but that's

[tight plinth]

how many jewelers do you have?

[charred condor]

Many

[iron zephyr]

I’ll just see if I can buy it for you

[tight plinth]

then you can off color it easily

[iron zephyr]

What’s your ign?

[charred condor]

So you get 1 socket

[tight plinth]

dont, let him learn how to off color 4 socket items

[charred condor]

Then chroma it blue

[stuck phoenix]

it's 1k chromas trying to roll it raw

[charred condor]

Then Jewellers it again?

[iron zephyr]

I can buy the chromes

[tight plinth]

yes, then craft bench 2 socket

[stuck phoenix]

yes

you would just spam jeweller's

bench it to 2 if it goes to 4

[stuck phoenix]

well, until 2 blue

and then when you have two blue

you craft 3 sockets

[wintry lily]

it still trips me up seeing bido being blue

[stuck phoenix]

and if it's not blue you bench 2 sockets

[stuck phoenix]

boo

[wintry lily]

[charred condor]

Hold up what

I still don’t get how to off color

But I am excited for maps the first time

[iron zephyr]

Craft on the colors you need

[silent leaf]

boo bada be bada ba

[tight plinth]

craft one socket
chroma until desired color
bench craft two socket
is it the socket the color you want?
if not recraft to 1 socket
if yes, bench craft to 3 socket
is it the socket the color you want?
if not recraft to 2 socket
if yes, bench craft to 4 socket
is it the socket the color you want?
if not recraft to 3 socket
if yes, congrats

[stuck phoenix]

bench 2 sockets
roll to 1 with jeweller's
chroma until blue
use jeweller's orbs until you get the second socket blue (bench 2 if you reach 4)
benchcraft 3 sockets, hoping for 3 blue, if not, bench 2 and repeat
redo last step but 4 and 3

[stuck phoenix]

there's no 1s benchcraft

[sage falcon]

isnt there a command for this

[tight plinth]

!socket

[stuck phoenix]

there is but I feel like it doesn't say how to save on the first

[silent leaf]

!pocket

[stuck phoenix]

!colours

[covert swan]

TL;DR: Coloring sockets to the correct combination can take a lot of chromatic orbs, however this cost can be mitigated somewhat with use of the jeweller's orbs in the Crafting Bench in your hideout.

[wintry lily]

if you're breaking it into unlinked anyways, you can just break into 3 sockets, craft 3 of the colors you want, spam for 4th or some shit

[tight plinth]

unknown 🤔

[wintry lily]

save your fingers from clicking 2> 3 > 2 > 3 >2 over and over

[rancid sluice]

yeah this takes time and back and forth but its basically saving your colors as you go if that make sense

[stuck phoenix]

so it's less efficient if it's someone who's broke

[wintry lily]

either method works fine anyways

[stuck phoenix]

bench 3 is not worth if you're not rich

[wintry lily]

hard to be so broke you can't afford chromatics this late into the league realistcally

[rancid sluice]

they just finished the campaign

[wintry lily]

how poor do i have to be to not consider it

[wintry lily]

that means nothing to me still cuz i'd spend the chaos orbs for it

[stuck phoenix]

also you can ctrl shift or something so it only takes 2 clicks to go from 2 to 3 to 2

[stuck phoenix]

feeling bad about 34 chromas

[wintry lily]

also, this usually means they'd have enough jewellers for the spam too

[stuck phoenix]

jeweller's are cheaper

and you spend less of them

[wintry lily]

and if assuming we're poverty as fuck at end of campaign

probably wont have both

[stuck phoenix]

it's a lot cheaper

[wintry lily]

yes, but do they have it tho

if they have enough for like 3 tries its not really a feasible option either

[stuck phoenix]

can currency exchange

I'd assume they can afford

it's not expensive

when done right

[wintry lily]

4L or 6L in this case anyways?

[stuck phoenix]

especially since baron is only 58 str

it's a helmet

[wintry lily]

4l i'd just buy if its not expensive

[stuck phoenix]

buy would most definitely be hella overpriced

[wintry lily]

3 off colors baron?

[rancid sluice]

4 off color

[stuck phoenix]

4 off colours

[wintry lily]

eh, better off checking then

[stuck phoenix]

2d for the only one

[wintry lily]

lmao

[stuck phoenix]

but that's because its implicit is from the funny helmet

[wintry lily]

then yeah jeweller method if broke on chrome

[stuck phoenix]

so it's honestly worth more

[wintry lily]

tbf, you'd be using a baron then

[stray sedge]

Hey has anyone here played a hexblast character since the change added cool downs?

[wintry lily]

I have tried in standard

why

its worse than doomstack now, don't even try

[stray sedge]

The hit damage is even nicer than before, I just wondered if the cooldown is miserable to deal with when mapping

[wintry lily]

its miserable

[stray sedge]

Dang

Even with a belt

[wintry lily]

at least with old doomstacking

you could just throw out hexblast here and there

with no care about the curses or doom

and it'll proliff the trash mobs away

[stray sedge]

Yeah pop occultist node was amazing with hexblast

[wintry lily]

now you can't just throw it out willy nilly unless you have a 2nd skill or a fuck ton of cdr

occu?

[stuck phoenix]

have you tried hb ignite

[wintry lily]

sir hexblast was my first intro to being cursed to flaskium

[stuck phoenix]

I feel like it might be decent

[wintry lily]

doesnt really alter gameplay

[stuck phoenix]

never tried hb though

[wintry lily]

between low tol poison

[stray sedge]

That was my build before - hexblast unleash occultist

[wintry lily]

or ignite

I STILL BLAME DEATHBEAM FOR THIS

1 fucking pathfinder build from him, years of flask addiction

[stray sedge]

Lol

[wintry lily]

dont do flasks kids

but yeah, hexblast is dead to me unless its cooldown gets lowered even more

baseline its just ass

if the goal was to prevent mine automation

could've just slapped a "can't be triggered by mines"

[stray sedge]

: (

[wintry lily]

@stray sedge if you still want to hate yourself, hexblast of havoc exists.

Rebbit thinks it does 1/4-1/8th of the original hexblast miner

so you know, silver lining

[stray sedge]

Nah I played it ethically, the only change they needed to make was just unusable on mines/traps or a huge penalty or something

[charred condor]

Hi again

[stray sedge]

I played via the vision and HANDCASTED it as Chris Wilsonc intended

[charred condor]

guys i will try off coloring sometime

[charred condor]

Wow thanks

This’ll actually be helpful

[wintry lily]

Thats what they should've really done instead of a blanket cd to nerf it

Even if CoC would be strong on it, they can make it "If skill is triggered, has x amount of cd"

but nah

[stray sedge]

Nothings stopping them from actually trying that out next league. Fucking stupid that they killed it entirely

[wintry lily]

fuck me ig.

[stuck phoenix]

well, it did have that

[stray sedge]

its one of the only two times I have commented on the forums about skills being changed drastically for the worse

[stuck phoenix]

the issue is that that stat didn't apply to miner

[wintry lily]

Yeah but its currently worse for plebs like me who did like it

[stray sedge]

just play ice trap lol

[wintry lily]

Its a nerf to its self cast as a whole for clear

and it's already relatively dogshit without ignite/poison prolifs

even with, it's not the fastest thing

so having a 2s cd doesn't make sense to me

[charred condor]

How much resources does off coloring drain on average?

[kindred silo]

whatever vorici calc says

[charred condor]

Also how do you unlock the socket benchcraft

[stuck phoenix]

need to extrapolate if doing jeweller's shenanigans

[stuck phoenix]

hover it

it's in acts though

impossible to miss

keep in mind there's no 1 socket craft

[sinful cove]

Is there ANY boots that can’t roll
3 green
1 blue
? I’ve burned through a lot of chromatic orbs

[exotic widget]

am I missing something? why am I not immune to other elemental ailments

[thick goblet]

immunity is not avoidance

[sinful cove]

Chaos isn’t considered an element for some reason as well

Even though every single game know to man has 4 elements lol

[spice pecan]

nah, tri-element philosophy is relatively common

[exotic widget]

is this new? I thought tempest shield + stormshroud was full immunity

[spice pecan]

no, you specifically need "chance to avoid shock"

[stuck phoenix]

nah

there's games with 5 elements

or even more elements

or just three elements

[fickle glen]

What type of stats do I use to scale explosive arrows?

[spice pecan]

usually either a mageblood flask suffix, or eldritch implicit + some explicit on boots

[stuck phoenix]

never has been

[sinful cove]

I’ve spent hundreds of orbs trying to roll these to 3 green… is it just bad luck?

[fickle glen]

I played a 5 elements game before

[stuck phoenix]

I will admit that some games would consider chaos an element

[stuck phoenix]

see

[exotic widget]

if I'm using a mageblood with bismuth and increased effect prefix and + to all ele res suffix does the increased effect prefix affect the implicit on the flask or the suffix or both?

[gritty garnet]

it's bad luck because it has all int requirements

[sinful cove]

Yup I just realized it

[gritty garnet]

I'd just bench 3 green

[sinful cove]

I don’t know how lol

[stuck phoenix]

chromatic calculator for best

[covert swan]

Socket colour crafting calculator: http://siveran.github.io/calc.html

[stuck phoenix]

odds

or you use jeweller's trick which is probably slightly cheaper but eh

[gritty garnet]

the crafting bench shows the area you need to unlock it from

[stuck phoenix]

probs not worth for 3 off

but forced 3 is probably not best

oof it is

[gritty garnet]

force 3, and if for some reason the last socket isn't blue you socket 3 then 4 again

[fickle glen]

Do these tags on explosive arrows means I can scale its damage off of them?

[stuck phoenix]

tags don't actually mean anything

just read the gem

tags are there to give you an idea

they have 0 gameplay impact

aside from modifiers to socketed/all x gems

also

what is your build

[fickle glen]

Trying explosive arrow build

[stuck phoenix]

fuck it, imma just hit you with the paste

!dmgsources

[covert swan]

PoE 1 has 4 damage sources:

• Attack
• Spell
• Damage Over Time
• Secondary
  These are mutually exclusive, so for example, Damage Over Time is never considered Attack Damage or Spell Damage. And therefore, stats like "#% increased Spell Damage" don't affect DoTs, even those applied by spells.

Note that some Gems have lines such as "Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect" which can make additional modifiers apply to the skill's damage.

This game has 5 damage types: Physical, Lightning, Cold, Fire, and Chaos. A hit can have several damage types at once, or just one. DoTs will only ever have one, but an enemy can be suffering multiple different DoTs at the same time.

[stuck phoenix]

That much was obvious, yes.

[fickle glen]

Not on computer to link web

[stuck phoenix]

you're on discord

[fickle glen]

iPhone!

[stuck phoenix]

if you can access discord you can access web

whatever web is supposed to mean

[fickle glen]

Website to link my build from?

[stuck phoenix]

yes

[earnest raven]

Si

[fickle glen]

Hang on let me see

https://www.pathofexile.com/game

Is this how you do it?

[hard cliff]

@spice pecan

why can't you combine rf with an ignite spell

people get so mad at burning trap

[stuck phoenix]

Does that link look like it has your username in it?

[hard cliff]

so change the game

🤔

[fickle glen]

Well I am looking at my inventory in there

[earnest raven]

Nice

[hard cliff]

you just need rf strong enough to kill yellow mobs

[fickle glen]

But doesn’t seem like it shows when I click this link

[stuck phoenix]

That's why I said link

[fickle glen]

Idk

[exotic widget]

my screen still shows but my tree has 100% chance to avoid shock

[earnest raven]

It's all good man. It's not obvious

[stuck phoenix]

And the jewel is socketed and allocated?

[exotic widget]

is the in game not accurate?

[stuck phoenix]

Ingame should be accurate but I don't know if this funny jewel is

[exotic widget]

gd nvm I hadn't socketed stormshroud again after messing with tree

ty all

[stuck phoenix]

Amazing

You're welcome

[hard cliff]

it's literally called rural life what

that's crazy

[cobalt blade]

exception being orb/arcane tag here ^

denying specific supports as like their only reason to exist

[stuck phoenix]

No

[cobalt blade]

but it is gameplay impact to deny you linking archmage to say tornado because its an orb

or trinity is i think also denied from orb

[hard cliff]

how can a tornado be an orb

[cobalt blade]

not a clue

[hard cliff]

[cobalt blade]

but its an orb

[stuck phoenix]

The tag doesn't make it an orb skill. It has the orb tag because it's an orb. Not the other way around.

There is an attack-tagged gem that grants a spell

That doesn't make the spell an attack

[wintry lily]

just scale spell dmg something something

[jagged raven]

what do u guys roll on these 16.5 maps to sell it for more?

[umbral crag]

I mean.. i wouldn't bother spending the time to roll 16.5 maps just to sell

[cobalt blade]

yes and im saying its gameplay impact to deny you linking x thing because of tag?

[umbral crag]

People nowadays really only look for >140% scarabs, and it's very likely you will spend more to roll for that then what u can sell it for

[cobalt blade]

+the tag is inconsistent anyway which is the whole reason i use that one lol like ball lightning of static having it but not regular ball lightning even tho based on the tag description reg ball lightning should also have it

[fickle glen]

Which one of those bows is better for explosive arrows, attack speed or elemental damage?

[cobalt blade]

also no point wasting yur chaos trying to roll it doesnt add enough value when ppl are more likely to buy a base map chisel and split* it or buy random 8 mod ones from scarab drop

[split maple]

To illustrate, when I tried to roll 140% for blight I spend like 400c for 8 maps

Droped my regex to 110%

But like if you want to sell maps run carto of corruption prolly

[cobalt blade]

would say the decimation bow lot more base dmg

[umbral crag]

Sounds about right 🥲

@split maple am trying to save for sinplex ammy but its miserable

[stuck phoenix]

Spell tag doesn't make it a spell

Attack tag doesn't make it attack

AoE tag doesn't make it deal AoE Damage

You can look at tags for an idea of what it's about

But tags don't actually mean anything

They're just there as a quick idea

[wintry lily]

Also a system to let us know what ggg says shouldn't work with

[stuck phoenix]

Orb is one of those things where all orb-tagged skill gems actually grant orb-skills, but that's not the rule. It's a coincidence.

[stuck phoenix]

It can be used to get an idea of what works with it, but not a strict knowledge

[wintry lily]

pmuch

For a guideline tho, it works well enough for most people

and should be treated only as such

[split maple]

Yo Lacro I joined the heraldstack club yday

Why does that build feel melee

[opaque sphinx]

almost done another 100

[coral summit]

okay i have a really dumb question

if you have flat damage reduction that reduces a hit's damage taken all the way to 0, does that hit still interrupt life/energy shield recharge

[opaque sphinx]

[spice pecan]

RF doesn't scale with spell damage, and scorching ray doesn't ignite

[worldly wind]

recharge is interrupted when you have loss as a result of damage

no loss no stoppy

[coral summit]

oh, so if you don't lose life at all it no stoppy

[spice pecan]

you could do mana RF with a spell that ignites (since mana RF scales with spell damage), but that would eventually just be like a fireball build using mana RF as a cast speed buff. you'd be playing ignite fireball or some other ignite spell that benefits from the castspeed from mana RF, and the RF would just be basically a buff

[coral summit]

neat it's possible then to use dissolution with enmity then

you just need a source of -flat fire dmg taken

which means synth ring, which kinda sucks

cuz that means no mirrored cogwork

[spare ore]

u going for hit based or ignite based totem?

[whole bluff]

I want another ignite than impending doom

But everything seems so lackluster

[opaque sphinx]

shaper staff ign

[whole bluff]

Shaper staff?

[umbral crag]

Not enuf aoe smh HAHAHAH

[split maple]

brand range, like on bloodline sanctum run yday i had to either throw brand exactly at guard feet or run circles round it waiting for hive to chip it down

got a bunch of lil fixes to do today 🙂 either i need to fix mana enough to actually be able to throw two brands before first experies or get rid of swiftbrand

[umbral crag]

Yeah you dont get the qol from brand range since you're passive starved

[compact bronze]

does this char effect affect back attachments like wings?

[fickle glen]

Is there a way to summon ballista by attacking?

Or make them auto spawn some how?

[umbral crag]

@split maple https://pobb.in/4Vz5ICY0_dHk

ig the next few upgrades are all just pure pain like corrupted gloves, simplex, claws, bbd, and then maybe mb for qol stuff.

[split maple]

overqual tincture if you want something quick to improve

i feel like rare jewels could be better or just swaped for emperor mastery & wit tho dunno what the prices are like nowadays

[stuck phoenix]

No

[umbral crag]

Oh ya i forgot i need to change my tincture for elemental penetratiom first. Thanks for reminder haha, thats a big dps jump.

[solar smelt]

I hate the caustic orb modifier so freaking much. All it takes is for one random rare that you can't see cause there's dozen's of enemies on the screen and boom you're dead. Was on the last wave of a fortress assualt and died cause some orbs spawned and I couldn't react in time

[umbral crag]

Expensive haha. I rather put that money into simplex which is huge

[split maple]

tho yea that build feels pretty close to minmaxy pain 😄 maybe swap notable cluster to 12p, but then ghost reaver so slightly worse qol & i would prio mb just for qol even at dmg loss

yeah prioritize simplex for sure

ig no one is valdoing for them jewels anymore 😄

[stuck phoenix]

Could also consider some influenced mod on boots

[umbral crag]

Good point yeah

[umbral crag]

I plugged in simplex and it was 50% more dps lmao wasnt expecting that

[stuck phoenix]

Qual on IC, if spectre die sometimes, probably 21/20 spectre

[umbral crag]

Righto yeah, gotta knock these cheaper upgrades out first

[whole bluff]

It does annoy me that the difficulty in poe when mapping is so random. For me, caustic orbs do nothing cuz I'm CI, and on my previous character neither hit nor dot from caustic orb could show on my health bar through my defences in the maps I ran (t7s cuz other things would one shot me). It becomes very frustrating to just meet mobs that have a complete "fuck-you-up-surprise" in their back pocket, while 99% of the gameplay is just pushover everything

imo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[umbral crag]

I kinda wanna get simplex first before mb so that the dps loss is less painge

[whole bluff]

The anti-flask mod is just "mob touches me and I suicide in like 0.8 seconds" on my previous build

[split maple]

yeah when i was pobing mine that made me feel kinda like do you really expect me to heist so much game

slaping in graft corrupted for that % dmg per int is similiarly big

and similiarly painge to get

[serene stratus]

When will we know something about the new league?

[umbral crag]

Yeah rofl

[umbral crag]

Fr

I gave up on that till after simplex

[whole bluff]

Hopefully, panic around temple balance in poe2 didn't cause any real delays to their overarching stuff. But we don't know whether it did yet. It should have been like 2 months from now?

[split maple]

i cannot cope on getting ful inspiration charges on pbrand right

without slaping inspire also on movement skill or smh like that

[serene stratus]

I think Feb, 2 month after start league poe2

But idk

[umbral crag]

Idts yeah haha

[whole bluff]

Maybe with a source of giga charge duration if it applies to all charges. Idr if charge mastery is all charges in general or all normal. Unless you're socket starved I'd do it on movement skill tho?

[umbral crag]

Thats why i just rune arcange surge

[split maple]

yeah i am comparing these right now, if i was able to hit full inspires dmg would be comparable but oh well

[split maple]

sockets are ok, issue is i cannot rly control frostblink of wintry in sanctumy

for maping its not an issue, since hive clears anyways

[whole bluff]

I'll check the timeline. By my guess, if it's a 4 month schedule poe2 is more likely to get longer time in the sun as GGG favor that game. So PoE2 could release a league 1st of August and then PoE1 17th of October and then PoE2 2nd of December, more likely than other way around. But also they seem to need to make it like 4.5+ month cycle alltogether a lot of the time

[whole bluff]

Ah, for sanctum I haven't a clue 😅 Looking for something like sandstorm visage?

[split maple]

balance of terror phys as extra would be nice

[livid quarry]

the next poe1 league delayed

[split maple]

i have too big skill isues for sandstorm runs 😄 that relic is ass

[livid quarry]

they know their previous schedule wasnt enough time

[whole bluff]

I don't even know what it does 😅

[exotic widget]

do these modifiers on crafted items apply to spells, attacks, or both?

[whole bluff]

I don't know what my sanctum skill lvl would be at. I work well with stuff like where to be when defending in sports etc on the fly, but I also do a copious amount of really silly mistakes in a game like PoE

[gritty garnet]

it's all damage that hits

[elder marlin]

what dmg type is doom blast? spell or atk?

can doomblast leech?

[exotic widget]

why would someone ever select the prefix added (elemental) damage to attacks over adds 10-15 elemental1/adds 10-15elemental2 for example?

the amount is even less with attacks and only one elemental type

[whole bluff]

It's a spell. It can leech normally as a spell

[split maple]

hides rooms basically, so you cannot know which debuffs you will be forced to take

[whole bluff]

Ouch

I got like ADD-light, kinda

Bad for HC. Prolly sanctum too

[umbral crag]

https://pobb.in/bBdMFwClfLjr

Cant believe i was using the wrong tincture the whole time

[split maple]

how much are like 28% qual prismatic tinctures nowadays?

[umbral crag]

Too much

27% is 100+ div

[split maple]

ouch

last league prismatics were affordable while rage ones were expensive as fuck due to armorstackers

like trips paid a mirror for his

[umbral crag]

Yeah now its reversed lol

[split maple]

how the tables turn 😄

[umbral crag]

Well, ilvl84 and bwlow is cheap

But u need ilvl85 for t1 pen

Sigh time to farm up simplex

Halfway there

Dk if i wanna self craft or just buy outright

[split maple]

anything obviously wrong there? https://pobb.in/05m24kOGQwdc

otherwise gonna focus on finishing boots & proper chest next

[umbral crag]

Trade?

[split maple]

ssf

[umbral crag]

Or ssf

Seems okay, on phone so cant check the block chance tho

[tight plinth]

recover x% of life/es/mana on kill is instant yes?

[opaque sphinx]

loot from 100 more uber sad guy

scammed on bbds

[split maple]

Only 6 bbds 💀

[split maple]

75% attack, 62% spell

[split maple]

yea

[opaque sphinx]

could be worse

[tight plinth]

potm of the moon axe

[split maple]

mostly just need levels now prolly, like i dont even have spell block per attack block mastery rn & taking mana mastery will let me get 2 brands/sec

[umbral crag]

Outside of the simplex base, how much u reckon to craft the int stacking simplex?

[opaque sphinx]

finally

[umbral crag]

Nicr

[opaque sphinx]

got a 2nd of these too

[split maple]

its 1 in 3 to annul of prefix

then 1 in 8 on harvest reforge influence

into another 1 in 3 on miss

so around 24x woker, imprint, reforge, donor

i would buy if you aint planing to craft in bulk for sale, since it has rather large variance if rng fucks you up

[umbral crag]

Ded

[umbral crag]

Yeahhh... ig back to saving >.>

[worldly bridge]

how good is this?

sacred roll is perfect so idk if that bumps it up

[tranquil sedge]

not too much unfortunately

[split maple]

its not top tier base

[tranquil sedge]

sadist garb is not the highest tier base

and ilvl 85 is not enough on bodies to roll t1 %inc defence, need 86

[worldly bridge]

ahhh i figured thats why i didnt see any on site

wheres 86 from again

17s and pinnacles?

[tranquil sedge]

t17, div cards, recombinators, etc.

[split maple]

tree this league

since a bunch of nodes are +ilvl

but also expedition rog and gweenen/ships/gold gamba

oh ffs i am rly bad at reading, i totaly skiped incr damage taken to ignited enemies on cinderswalow

ez 25% dps

i thought its just for es recovery 😄

[gritty epoch]

What's the number of hotfixes for 3.27

[tight plinth]

latest one was "hotfix 3"

does all mid league patch count as hotfix?

[opaque sphinx]

[tawdry olive]

Blight ravaged? In the year of our lord 2026?

[west moth]

are people still hosting 5ways on std? doesnt seem like it.

[umbral crag]

Yeah its actually big

[elder marlin]

does Pneumatic Dagger work with impending doom?

[tight plinth]

do you hit with that weapon with impending doom?

[elder marlin]

i use temp chains for doom blast proc

[tight plinth]

the answer is no, only hits from the weapon will make all damage poisons

[barren river]

[carmine notch]

impending doom is a spell, not a weapon hit

[elder marlin]

what r the sources of global chance to poison?

[livid quarry]

tattoo

int

[split maple]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Beacon_of_Madness_(Cold_and_Lightning_Resistance)

[elder marlin]

on hit

[split maple]

i think poison spark used to use these booties

prolly best option for other spells too

[elder marlin]

need rare boots for cdr

[tight plinth]

chance to poison is on hit, you cant poison without a hit

[split maple]

other option is also assassin

[frigid wedge]

impending doom uses septic spells clusters @elder marlin

[elder marlin]

curse mastery and herald of agony

[tight plinth]

what?

[livid quarry]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Tattoo_of_the_Tawhoa_Shaman

[elder marlin]

those r global sources

[fickle glen]

Occupying Force perk is the biggest scam ever

[frigid wedge]

https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/SansShoto_-1609/character/SansShotoMoonLord this is 100% chance to poison id

[frigid wedge]

its really not, its a lot of action speed

[fickle glen]

Won’t let me summon 3 archers at once

[elder marlin]

i have 2 septic and my chance to poison is 40%, maybe pob dont show it

[frigid wedge]

oh that one

[elder marlin]

oh wait im dumb

[stuck phoenix]

Guess what

[tight plinth]

also also, all damage can poison =/= poisons on hit

[elder marlin]

and blind

[stuck phoenix]

HoAg says on Hit too

[fickle glen]

Like what is the point of that perk if I can’t summon 3 archers that don’t even follow me

[stuck phoenix]

Curse mastery is a stat on the enemy, so it gets different wording

[frigid wedge]

u gotta stand further away

[stuck phoenix]

But it's still on Hit

[fickle glen]

By the time I do the stationary archer is already gone

[frigid wedge]

so get movement speed

or a movement skill

[fickle glen]

Not the point

[frigid wedge]

is the point

can summon 3

just have to stand further away

some arenas will not allow 35 units of distance

[fickle glen]

Pretty gae

[frigid wedge]

not really

were u expecting to get free ballista totems without changing ur build at all

[fickle glen]

Idk I just can’t see it the way you do

[frigid wedge]

its not a ballista totem, there is no reason for it to be op as a singular ascendancy node

its addition to smth that very often isnt a ton of ur dps anyways

if u want dps add storm rain ballistas

[fickle glen]

Is that a trans gem?

[frigid wedge]

no

you support storm rain

with ballista totem support

and possibly multiple totems support

and then 3 dmg supports

[fickle glen]

Ty for this information I have new plans in mind now @frigid wedge

[tight plinth]

triple mirage archer toxic rain?

[frigid wedge]

yeah the spacing required for occupying isnt the most helpful

so i wouldnt

just helps as a clear tool for things like blast rain

can we get a replica wilmas that swaps the cast speed attack speed thing

that would b fun

[stoic horizon]

or foulborn

[frigid wedge]

yeah im not holding out hope for foulborns

ggg dont love us enough for that

[opaque sphinx]

i love when my 193 quant ravaged vaals to 149

XDD

what a map

[tawdry olive]

Yo imagine putting Empy’s standard minimum character size project character into this map

[opaque sphinx]

that'd be hilarious

[elder marlin]

is 16k phys max hit decent?

[split maple]

Depends on build?

[elder marlin]

ci

with minimal armro and eva

[split maple]

Still depends on build lol

Like if you have enough brand attachment range 5k phys Max hit is enough

[tawdry olive]

Yea it’s hard to judge without a POB and what configs are on

[split maple]

If you are true melee you want a tad more

[elder marlin]

impending doom

[split maple]

• how conditional your defences are

[tawdry olive]

5k max hit with headhunter and 2 defensive grafts + max block can tank juiced T17s

[elder marlin]

i mean my immortal call cwdt is turn off

[split maple]

That's your heralder?

[tawdry olive]

Yup

Made one for the heck of it, was pretty smooth and easy since I had like no standards for the gear

I did buy 15 herald tattoos those were probably the most expensive part of the build

[umbral crag]

Buy more smh

[umbral crag]

Im a little tankier but yeah cant tank most juiced t17 unless multiple volatile core gets through my block sadge

[tawdry olive]

I can’t even use all of them because I’m on a scuffed tree without the hubris with 3+ attack block nodes

That one is like 250d+ or smth

[umbral crag]

You doing mom impossible escape?

[tawdry olive]

Nope

Red nightmare

[umbral crag]

Just sell red nightmare and do pain attunement impossible escape easy

1d hubris

[tawdry olive]

Yea I did pob it out but then I went to Pohx league so whatever

[umbral crag]

Yeah i did the swap fairly early on

25 tattoos kill me tho

[tawdry olive]

On another note. I actually went and did this, I understand now.

Main difference is the racers zoom to the boss and don’t full clear maps. I was also doing betrayal and exped + the league mechanic

If you zoom you just skip all that shit it looks like

[jagged raven]

am i doing something wrong? im not getting any mageblood/mirror card drops

[worldly bridge]

soon

[tawdry olive]

They’re just really fuckin rare lmao

[umbral crag]

Did you think they drop that easily?

[worldly bridge]

nope, theyre just rare

[tawdry olive]

Make sure you’re running at the very least T16 8 mod corrupt and run a shit tonne of them

[thick goblet]

how many maps have you run

[umbral crag]

I know someone who dropped 5 apothecary after 700+ maps. And thats juicing the map with full div cards scarabs

[jagged raven]

idk almost 100ish

[elder marlin]

is recombing for 3 prefix similar to recombing for 3 suffix?

[tawdry olive]

Yes

[jagged raven]

im running t16 8mods coorupt

only

[thick goblet]

yeah that's not that many

[tawdry olive]

Are you doing a div card strat or just something else and hoping to get lucky

[umbral crag]

See above my message. What strat/scarabs are you running too

[jagged raven]

doing harvest

[devout widget]

Is there a way to sync Hextouch+Conductivity with Arc? to apply conductivity with Arc's chaining?

[umbral crag]

Yeah lol then just forget about seeing the cards

[jagged raven]

oh damn

[tawdry olive]

Yea this is just hoping to get lucky, especially if you’re rushing without full clearing the map

[jagged raven]

so thats what im doing wrong ig

i am full clearing maps

[tawdry olive]

No, harvest rush is the right thing

[umbral crag]

Not doing it wrong if the div cards wasnt even ur focus in the first place

[jagged raven]

doing the harvest rota

[jagged raven]

i was expecting i would get lucky from the map clears

[umbral crag]

Yeah youd have to be insanely lucky.

[split maple]

maybe you can expect one seven years per 50 maps with juice and not focused on card farm if full clearing

if rushing idk add a 0?

[umbral crag]

As i saidz someone got 5 apo in 700+ maps. Doing div cards strat. Thats 1 in 130 maps? Doing div card strats. You're not even doing div card strat and not 130 maps kek

[jagged raven]

im full clearing as im doing harvest rota

[split maple]

why are you full clearing for rota

[tawdry olive]

Div card strats means dropping like ten thousand cards per map

[thick goblet]

dont waste time full clearing if you're doing harvest

[split maple]

like go in do harvest go out, if you arent running woke scarb no point fishing for altars

[jagged raven]

maybe ill get 1 in the whole league then lol

[split maple]

and if you running woke you are running t17 i trust

[tawdry olive]

Even if you’re running woke scarab no point fishing for altars, it kills your div/h

[umbral crag]

This is called coping for apo drop while doing harvest rush and then saying harvest bad coz only 1d/hr

[tawdry olive]

You run whatever has like 60 pack size and just spam them

[jagged raven]

whats woke? awakening scarab?

[tawdry olive]

Yes it gets real expensive

[split maple]

go in dont kill mobs do harvest go out aim for 30-40 maps/h and its profit Enjoyer

[jagged raven]

i am using awakening scarab

[split maple]

full clearing and doing 10 maps/h is ouch

[split maple]

then run t17 ffs

[jagged raven]

thats better?

t17 with 116quant maps r expensive right?

[minor mantle]

thats optimistic haha

[umbral crag]

Just roll for pack size

[opaque sphinx]

so close

[umbral crag]

Coping fr haha

[tawdry olive]

No matter what the map is, look at quant and pack size, is it min 100 quant 55 pack size or so? Whether it is T17 or T16.5

[split maple]

i got one apo last league

[tawdry olive]

You won’t get that pack size with T16

[split maple]

from an exarch jewelry card altar

[minor mantle]

i got a apothecary from a white defiled cathedral once

[umbral crag]

I havent seen one in hundreds of t16.5 dunes juiced blight. So kekw

[minor mantle]

i poofed it immediately

[jagged raven]

ya im running t16 116+quant 45+ size
is it actually better with t17 then?

[split maple]

YES

[tawdry olive]

45 and 55 is a MAJOR difference

[split maple]

since like you can easily roll for 50-60 pack size

then use pack size chisels

[tawdry olive]

Ideally you want it to be 60+, I have even seen natural 70+ rolls

[split maple]

also map tier improves chance to upgrade plot

tho diff between t16 and 17 is rather minimal

[jagged raven]

how much will per map cost then

[tawdry olive]

Yes

[split maple]

its way easier to roll t17 than t16.5

like way way easier

idk what 8mod t17 cost now that they ingame but prolly worth

[tawdry olive]

My strat is to snipe corrupted T16.5 trash layouts with insane pack size where the seller doesn’t know what they have and put it up for 5c or smth

Only works with an active economy though

[split maple]

kinda funny how last league i ran barely any t17 due to t16.5 and this league i do barely any t16.5 due to t17

mod changes rly made them too painful to roll

[jagged raven]

but quantity? u still need high quant right?

[frigid wedge]

this league its genuinely worth it to just run 8 mod 16

[tawdry olive]

The quant for maps we are talking about is naturally very high

[devout widget]

Can Hextouch support Arc?

[split maple]

yea mods that are good for packsize usually also have good quant

[worldly bridge]

ive been saving my 16.5

to run for challenge

mostly toxic sewer beacuse yeah

[tawdry olive]

Honestly kinda surprised there’s no excel/sheets POE plugin yet, these 2 are a match made in heaven

[worldly bridge]

its called POB

[tawdry olive]

No not builds

Things like Scarab and juice prices

For farming div/h calculations

[split maple]

there are a few sheets that integrate poe.ninja

like conflict orb calculator iirc pulls them

lil issue being that scarb, currencies etc dont have reliable pricing on ninja

[jagged raven]

do i full clear the t17 maps or just rush to harvest?

[split maple]

i would clear a tad but not worry too much, maps/h beats divs/map

[tawdry olive]

Rush the boss and the harvest. Unless you’re doing a shitty fragment map

[jagged raven]

ok so i need 116+ quant and 50%+ size t17 maps right?

[split maple]

up that to 55 or 60

[jagged raven]

im doing the mortal..

ok

[tawdry olive]

Pack size is more important than quant

[split maple]

wait what scarb setup you using

[tawdry olive]

No what I mean is the boss fragment

Like if you’re doing citadel or smth just forget the boss

[tawdry olive]

But why would anyone in their right mind do citadel

[split maple]

slap in one risk

[tawdry olive]

Check horned scarab of preservation prices

If one is cheaper than doubling + awakening + risk

Buy it all out

[frigid wedge]

preservation scarab is so weird bc istg its only viable for harvest

[jagged raven]

i have one question about that
if i get less regen on enegery shield does my coc fross dies then?

[tawdry olive]

Yea basically it’s priced around the most expensive scarab strat…

[jagged raven]

cuz my rf cant do that

[split maple]

usually it was balanced around catalyzing price, but usually you didnt have spare scarb slots in harvest due to risk limit being >1

[tawdry olive]

Kinda like the awakening scarab itself

[umbral crag]

You're doing instant leech which should overcome that

Assuming u mean less regen rate and not less max regen

[jagged raven]

ok ok i guess i can put on a few risk then

[split maple]

Don't you have ES on hit watcher on frosser?

Thats mod immune pretty much

[umbral crag]

Yeah, but idk if he has it

[jagged raven]

idk if i have it

this one?

oh i took it out cuz i needed crit chance watcher instead

[tawdry olive]

5% instant leech mastery means T17s are solved, but T16s have "cannot leech from monsters"

so be aware of that

[jagged raven]

damn these r more expensive than awakening

[tawdry olive]

awakening + risk + doubling

remember, it preserves ALL scarabs

its a crapshoot on the supply whether they're worth it

i think that's like... the rarest scarab?

[jagged raven]

so only it gets consumed?

[tawdry olive]

yes

[frigid wedge]

its weird af tbh

[jagged raven]

ok lemme first run some t17 then check this out

[split maple]

By far yea

[tawdry olive]

i have had.. one natural drop of it

[jagged raven]

im losing 10% quant though for it

[split maple]

10% that isn't scaled by explicit effect unlike mod quant

So maybe like 5% overall?

[jagged raven]

ok

[tawdry olive]

this is where you bust out the spreadsheets and start recording input/output

and find the right balance for yourself

[jagged raven]

seems like i have to lol

[frigid wedge]

cant even do that bc preservation market is so volatile due to lack of supply

i definitely see multiple every league tho

just not many

[jagged raven]

ya i bought 20 awak for 155 each few hours ago
now they r 180 each

[frigid wedge]

awakening isn't as bad as preservation

i do enjoy that pandemonium is more common than awakening tho and 2x the price

and then tradition scarab is -2c or smth

[jagged raven]

pandemonium in harvest strat?

[frigid wedge]

no im just comparing horny bugs

horned scarabs*

[brazen vector]

[split maple]

I need to run some of these soon

[split maple]

Got a bunch of containtments ready to pair with Just I rly don't like boxes

[cobalt blade]

its useful for the twist of fate keystone

funny random t17's with random mods/scarabs to waste time lol

[devout widget]

Is there a way to remove Mana reservation of the skitterbots?

[frigid wedge]

no

why would there be

you can decrease it

[devout widget]

there dont seem to be an obvious reason why there wont be, but ok

[tawdry olive]

thats a funny keystone, i did test it with harvest, its really funny to add more gamba on top of your gamba

[stuck brook]

well tehcnically essence worm can make skitterbots free, if you dont care about having other reservations

[tawdry olive]

because it functionally acts as a chaos + vaal, then adds 1 to 3 explicit mods
you can get between 5 and 11 mods, averaging to 8 mod corrupt

but now you can chuck whatever garbage into the map device

[cobalt blade]

yee

[split maple]

Sokrates was running twist of fate t16.5 vaal temples end of last league iirc

[tawdry olive]

oh yea thats the real legitimate use of the keystone

since it gives you a different layout but preserves the boxse

[split maple]

There is nothing legitimate about making t16.5 VTS tho

I have to try that this leg

[tawdry olive]

real footage of a map device belonging to an exile running twist of fate

[split maple]

another fun thing about these is if you 5-1 vaal temples to uncorrupt them you can corrupt them into vt again with more vessels

[frigid wedge]

bc there are VERY limited sources of anything having no reservation

and all of them apply specifically to auras

most of them are from the same item

[elder marlin]

can u use veiled chaos if theres alr a veiled chaos mod?

[brazen vector]

Yes

[split maple]

looking at #1 dps pboder in ssf

ethical shield

[elder marlin]

ethical af

[cobalt blade]

doesnt even have 3w smh my head

[frigid wedge]

man hit on the second double corrupt and said aight we win those

[cobalt blade]

also the 2 silver flasks instead of tossing the mageblood silver lol

[frigid wedge]

nah that one is fair

flask effect on silver flask is onslaught effect

but cinderswallow mods are real good

[tawdry olive]

reason 1000001 why mageblood slaps

[cobalt blade]

Its a flask slot for only 19% attack/cast speed you can use it more efficiently to get damage elsewhere

[frigid wedge]

ok, but it isnt that bad

plus it's ms

ms make happy

[cobalt blade]

its pbod its probably a bosser

[split maple]

its heralder

[cobalt blade]

true that tho

[split maple]

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepersssf/character/Epialos-5232/HeraldOfEpi?i=0&search=skills%3DPenance%2BBrand%2Bof%2BDissipation%26sort%3Ddps

also hive ring corrupt is kinda proper

[frigid wedge]

honestly silver flask is my fav

[cobalt blade]

lmao the cinderswallow is even enkindled

incredible mageblood silver

[frigid wedge]

it does all the happy things

[split maple]

fun fact

poe ninja default config has flasks enabled

[cobalt blade]

Yeah i know

[split maple]

tho okay dude would still have first place even without it

[frigid wedge]

the inc damage to ignited mobs scales from it

[cobalt blade]

if they explicitly want first place tho on damage you swap on belt for really anything swap silver flask for a bottled faith and now your probably 30-40% higher

[split maple]

i used magnate last leg

[frigid wedge]

they probably play it like this tho

[split maple]

well i also didnt have mbloode so it was kinda logical belt anyways

[frigid wedge]

and norm mb silver is even more qol if ur enkindling the cinder

this looks like an actual setup i can see being used

[cobalt blade]

Its definitely useable im just also gonna judge it for using 2 enkindled silvers over a flask you get more total benefits from

[split maple]

it aint so big since poeninja doesnt have enemy on cons ground checked

[cobalt blade]

It checks it if you have the flask equipped or some source of conc ground

handful of things only get set if you have a source

[split maple]

ah okay makes sense, yeah gets 20% more overall then

[tawdry olive]

honestly this software is a miracle

only takes trying literally any other arpg to feel how bad its absence is

[cobalt blade]
