[tranquil sedge]

give it an actual interface

[proud gorge]

and that's a good thing

[eternal hill]

ah I thought you meant like swapping out gear on the go

[proud gorge]

there's a reason why you don't see random AGs on every single build

[pulsar dune]

AG is sort of mandatory in any build that doesn't do high end mapping

[tranquil sedge]

AG could use mechanical changes honestly i mean

[proud gorge]

because on a non-minion build they just die instantly

[spice pecan]

can i just get waheed from d2

and give him insight

[proud gorge]

and then you just have a bunch of wasted gem sockets

[split maple]

I mean this league it's basically ui and socket pressure

[tranquil sedge]

but UI is like a no-brainer its so annoying to use rn

[pulsar dune]

But the game isn't really difficult enough to force it

[split maple]

Like they universaly good if you can fit them in

And why care bout survivability if gear isn't lost

[tranquil sedge]

socket pressure is the biggest deterrent to universally using AG ye

[pulsar dune]

You should put AG on your dedicated bossers for example

[proud gorge]

with no minion investment, they just die instantly at the start of a map, and then you can't get them back for the rest of the map

[pulsar dune]

Bosses don't really kill minions

[split maple]

They survive better than you think wkz

[pulsar dune]

And you can fit quite the chunk of power

[split maple]

Like Just slap some mask of stitched demon or smh on

[tranquil sedge]

yea but compare that to mercs who could run anything with no support gems to support their tankiness

ag is definitely weakboi

[proud gorge]

sure, but the more defensive item investment you're doing the less "utility" it's actually giving you

[tranquil sedge]

^

plus you probably want a meatshield support or smth at least

[split maple]

Yeah I am not saying they mercs, I am saying they usable even on nonminion builds if you can spare socks

[proud gorge]

like yeah, if you get an AG with Minion Life + Meatshield Support, a highly defensive chest and helmet, etc, then yeah, you could probably make one that survives

[tranquil sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/harrypotter-dobbie-elf-houseelf-magic-gif-2629199419811159219

[split maple]

Just meatshield and a defensive piece or two and it's already tankier than most builds lol

[proud gorge]

but that's at minimum three sockets in exchange for an AG that's providing maybe 3 items worth of support

it's definitely still good

but most people wouldn't bother

and that's the same thing with aurabots, they're super powerful, but most people wouldn't bother because they can do just fine without

[opaque sphinx]

[tranquil sedge]

dam

[proud gorge]

the issue with mercs is that there wasn't any downside, or any real "friction" towards them just giving you insane damage multipliers

with them being even mildly inconvenient to run and gear, you'd instantly see a massive drop off in the likelihood of people actually running them

[spice pecan]

i mean 50% increased enemy life was a downside

[tranquil sedge]

not really

[proud gorge]

eh, a very minor one, especially compared to, even on a super basic level, one or two free auras

[spice pecan]

like RF couldnt run a merc until some decent gear upgrades, but that's like the only example i can think of

[tranquil sedge]

plus they also gave partial quant bonus

[proud gorge]

even if the merc was literally using no custom gear, the one or two extra auras more than make up for the life increase

[tranquil sedge]

anyone thinking twice about the 50% life (nobody) would already ignore it just for that alone

yummy quant mmm

[tranquil sedge]

ur missing one more reason xd

aurabot player means splitting loot too

[proud gorge]

But yeah, ways to introduce friction to Mercs:

1. Make them cost ridiculous amounts of gold per map, far more than could reasonably be obtained in a single map, and also steal half the gold drops.

[tranquil sedge]

also steal half the gold drops.
ooo

salary payments

[proud gorge]

I mean, the original idea was already to make them cost a salary per map

probably scaling with the map tier and number of mods or something

hmm
2. Make it so that mercs have a "cooldown" period, so after running them once you can't use them again for a bit, either a couple of maps or (in an extreme case) some amount of real time

[tranquil sedge]

that sounds awful ngl

and real time is an absolute no no

that has no business being in this game

[spice pecan]

agreed

[proud gorge]

3. Make it so that mercs are as squishy as a real player, and if they die you can't use them for the next several maps

[tranquil sedge]

kingsmarch is already bullshit in that regard

[spice pecan]

if my merc dies i'm not going to sit there for an hour plus before i can run another map

[tranquil sedge]

they die you can't use them for the next several maps
also yuck

[spice pecan]

also

[proud gorge]

yes

[spice pecan]

that would literally brick aurabots

[tranquil sedge]

yea if they die and u can't use them for the rest of the current map thats already a downside

[spice pecan]

until you get an unkillable merc

[proud gorge]

I mean, the idea for "they require a rest period after every map" is that you'd be forced to gear three mercs

and rotate between them

[spice pecan]

aurabots already have to play 1 portal maps

[tranquil sedge]

when u try to invent downsides you should be inventing ones that have an actual purpose to them not things that would just piss off players

[tranquil sedge]

ah you didnt say that earlier

[spice pecan]

the latter is what t17 mods feel like tbh

[pliant pendant]

Hey do i need to online when a guild invites me?

[tranquil sedge]

most of them are okay

like ppl exaggerate way too much

only a couple of them are actually shit

[potent horizon]

winter orb is fun

[tranquil sedge]

and one of course stands out above all else

-# deal no damage for 3 seconds my ass

[spice pecan]

i think it goes into an invitation in your social panel

[pliant pendant]

even if i am offline?

[tranquil sedge]

brb lunch

[potent horizon]

the no mana regen one is not a favorite of mine either lmao

[spice pecan]

i believe, but cannot 100% confirm

[proud gorge]

I mean, the reasoning for real time is to mirror the very real phenomemon when playing with another player of them not gunning maps at max speed, and occasionally going "hey gimme a few minutes"

[pliant pendant]

ohh oki.. thanks

I am new here an i am looking for an active guild to join on PS5

[proud gorge]

very few real teamplay players will gun maps at max speed for several hours

that's the main real "gain" for solo play vs teamplay, being able to just log on and gun maps

[spice pecan]

dunno how active ps5 or xbox are, most ppl play on pc

but you can try the console channels

[pliant pendant]

indeed

[ocean field]

Does every gem in poe have either an attack tag or a spell tag? Any gem that does not have either of them?

[pulsar dune]

I believe warcries have neither

[pliant pendant]

where do i find the console channels?

[ocean field]

good catch anything else

[pulsar dune]

Support gems

[spice pecan]

#playstation

[pulsar dune]

Poegems.com is useful for questions like these

[ocean field]

other than support gems

[spice pecan]

you may have to go into the roles channel and pick poe1 to see them

[pulsar dune]

No, that's it

[proud gorge]

it's literally just the warcries

[ocean field]

yes it seems so

thanks

[proud gorge]

there's also three gems that have both the Attack and Spell tags lmao

[ocean field]

oh thanks for heads up

[proud gorge]

which makes sense, Frozen Legion is a weird spell

[tight plinth]

I never got to make a frozen legion build

[spice pecan]

the coolest thing frozen legion ever did was being able to have infinite statues for infinite duration with the 0aps trypanon back in crucible

[tight plinth]

If the life stacking axe doesnt get nerfed i might do one nect league

[tranquil sedge]

no regen is a t16 mechanic too

[tranquil sedge]

i get the logic
it still sounds beyond miserable and against poe game design

like i like the balance of kingsmarch and i still think its objectively just wrong game design for poe

[spice pecan]

literally havent touched km at all in the PL

[tranquil sedge]

your time outside the game should not affect ur moment-to-moment gameplay in the game, kingsmarch violates that already and its probably the least offensive way to do it

[spice pecan]

i cannot be fucked

and i know i have to recomb a fucking bow eventually

[tranquil sedge]

like the only reason its tolerable is how little effort you need to keep kingsmarch running

[pulsar dune]

Unscalable timers suck

[proud gorge]

clearly mercs should reflect real group play by only being available for maybe 2-3 hours a day, and only on certain random days

[pulsar dune]

Pretty universally tbh

[spice pecan]

oh shit, my 4r 1g 1b divine shield skin of the lords just sold

[tranquil sedge]

lol

[proud gorge]

and sometimes they're not available until 11pm

at which point you get maybe 20 minutes of gameplay

[dawn laurel]

guys sorry fpr noob question, I have query about simplex amulet, which annoint is better for int stacker jugg with lightning strike ? sione's ambition or claws of the falcon ?
and can we change the annoint later on ?

[spice pecan]

you can always change your anoint yes

[proud gorge]

you can change the annoit at any time yeah, the only issue is that if it's corrupted you need a corrupted oil

[pulsar dune]

You probably want siones

And if it's mirrored you need a reflective oil

Or well, siones if you aren't running woke ancestral call in links

[dawn laurel]

thank you for the response.
why sione is better ?
from the description it seems claws of the falcon is more damage ?

[spice pecan]

do you really need sione's ambition for LS?

[pulsar dune]

You probably have enough damage, and not having to be melee is really good

[spice pecan]

LS isnt even a melee skill anyway

[pulsar dune]

Makes double hitting easier too, not that that's super relevant

But IG true, on LS it doesn't really matter

[dawn laurel]

got it
thank you guys

[true falcon]

I vaguely remember something like this next league being the first league made by the dedicated poe1 team, but can't remembered if I just made that up

[spare ore]

huh the double hitting was one of the good things about ls

[proud gorge]

You know, it occurs to me that possibly the reason why this build is running PCoC on its Frostblink is because, at the level of investment its working at, PCoC Frostblink of Wintry Blast is just straight up their clear skill

I thought they'd frostblink in and then hit Lightning Conduit

[tranquil sedge]

strong enough builds can do that yh

connor's incinerate of venting aurastacker did that too, as an example

frostblink of wintry as clear, incinerate of venting as singletarget

[proud gorge]

but according to PoB the DPS on Frostblink alone with max power charges is like 1.8m dps

you'd still want to hit LC on most rares

but it'll clear white packs just fine

so yeah, I can see the vision with regards to PCoC on frostblink

though I'm still not sure you'd need it, and if you're killing white packs with it then the kills should generate enough power charges to sustain

[ocean field]

I did not intend for this

[spice pecan]

lmao

[ocean field]

How much can I seel this for in standard

[spice pecan]

probably not much

no overqual or super cool mods

[tranquil sedge]

in standard? probably nothing or very little

suffixes are very bad (the tiers are too low)

and its only 20 quality

implicits aren't elevated either

but the easiest way to answer your own question is just go search for a body like that on standard lol

my answer is biased because to me standard gear must be good to sell that is what i think

i could be wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tranquil sedge]

filter for body armor
use left side 'armour' filter to set minimum acceptable evasion or energy shield amount (set the other one to at least 1) and then filter affixes for just int and supprses

that should tell u what its worth

[ocean field]

It does seem to be worth something

6 red is pretty rare

so slightly above this I assume

[radiant bridge]

[proud gorge]

6-red is rare, but at the same time isn't that rare. The six-socket craft is 350 jewelers, so 420 jewelers per attempt if using the jeweler method, and the odds of hitting red on a 173 dex/int chest is about 1/6

so it'd cost an average of like 2500-3000 jewelers

[umbral crag]

You're also looking at something with actual suffix and correct implicits. Though I'd still question if this is actually worth 20d in standard

[proud gorge]

so the 6-red offcolor really only adds around... 18c of value in Keepers

probably way less in Standard

actually jewelers are more expensive relative to chaos in standard

so it's more like 45c

but point being, it's functionally just the cost of the base item

the extra value generated by being 6-red is minimal

[ocean field]

I see so better for me to just switch it and just keep the armor

[proud gorge]

same reason why there's only like 5div difference between a 4-flask and 2-flask Mageblood

[pulsar dune]

From context clues, we can infer OP is playing int/accu, so things won't be alive long enough to really have double hitting matter

[proud gorge]

the extra value gained from a 4-flask mageblood compared to literally any mageblood is pretty minimal

[pulsar dune]

That wasn't true last I checked (or ever since I started playing), but maybe something changed

Corrupted 2 flaskers are usually half a 4 flasker

[proud gorge]

I generally buy the cheapest uncorrupted mageblood and then roll it to 4-flask myself

[tranquil sedge]

he's talking about uncorrupted

[pulsar dune]

Ah, then it's literally just divine cost

[tranquil sedge]

since the difference between 2 and 4 flask is just divining

yea

[proud gorge]

yeah

[pulsar dune]

Not a question of value

[tranquil sedge]

the prices does go up if you start filtering for high resist and dex rolls too

but just for flasks, ye minor difference

[pulsar dune]

They're sold on the assumption that someone will divine them to 4 flasks

[ocean field]

lol my neighbor son is getting belt to ass. Can hear him screaming till here

[proud gorge]

that's what I'm saying, the "added value" of the 4-flask is minimal because you can just divine it to 4 yourself

[pulsar dune]

Ah, makes sense

[proud gorge]

same with how the "added value" of 6-off color is entirely just the cost of offcoloring it yourself

and the "added value" of a 6-link is the cost of 6-linking it yourself

so in this case, extremely minimal by comparison to the cost of the actual base item

[vocal perch]

hey guys, ive been playing POE 2 since release and gave POE 1 a shot last year and didnt really like it. I desperately want to like it because one of my friends SWEARS by it being the best ARPG OAT... would anyone be willing to play with me and show me the ropes? Maybe im just missing something?

[tight plinth]

my advice, join a guild, preferably a casual one

i think theres a guild recruitment channel here somewhere

[vocal perch]

thanks for the advice! usually i just get told to go f myself when i ask in chat, any recommendations on how to go about htat?

oh awesome

thanksQ

!*

[spice pecan]

people are saying that to you in here? or in game?

[tight plinth]

probably in game

[vocal perch]

in game, i just joined the server

[spice pecan]

i was about to say

[tight plinth]

the first guild i joined taught me a lot

they were very casual, played through the full league

[tawdry olive]

how did you find that guild to join

sometimes i forget guilds exist

[spice pecan]

my guess is there's probably some big guilds out there that still use the forums

[steel light]

@vocal perch are u playing on league or standard?

[vocal perch]

league

[steel light]

what's ur ign? i can pass u a starter pack

[tight plinth]

i honestly forgot, its been a long time. this was back in delve league

[elder marlin]

Give him a karui too

For the full starter pack

[steel light]

ur face is a full starter pack

[elder marlin]

[steel light]

lots of inscribes that need to do, mostly 20c

@elder marlin does 4x monster types special attack ruins + 3 out of 10 secs deals no damage not screws cws glad in 2 unlucky blocks? or 90% reduce recovery

[elder marlin]

Just gave my mb to my friend so reduce recovery would brick me

Other than that, no i can run all

[elder marlin]

Any div

[frigid wedge]

[elder marlin]

Yea thats also free for me

[steel light]

ruin iv + no damage 3/10 sec with that stupid range triangles nukes me in one wave when fire storm doesn't kill it early

8 ruins in 2 hits

[elder marlin]

When did u become cws glad?

[steel light]

i'm chieftain, i'm wondering how glad dealt with it

[spice pecan]

17d in blue juice to hit this and ofc i couldnt exalt life and got aoe instead

[elder marlin]

I just stand there, menacingly

But i failed once bc of those combination

Only once tho

I could technically do reduce recovery 2(90%) if i unequip my rf and annihilation

[steel light]

it's just these two ascendancy skills?

[tranquil sedge]

glad would just stand there lol

[elder marlin]

Yea

[tranquil sedge]

just chill and afk with your block and recovery on block

[steel light]

i stood there, and trialmaster laughs within 7 secs

[tranquil sedge]

l0l

[elder marlin]

Gratuitous is kinda mandatory for clear

Gratuitous is like budget temu hinakora

[spice pecan]

how are you bleeding

[steel light]

also can u stand in mid when it's totem heavy damage mod?

[elder marlin]

Falling meat

[spice pecan]

is cws glad using an attack of some sort

[elder marlin]

Eww, 1 button

[spice pecan]

how is raise zombie of falling applying bleed

[elder marlin]

Idk i never die to those

[spice pecan]

it's still a spell?

[frigid wedge]

block prevents ruin stacks

[elder marlin]

It is counted as both a spell and a minion attack so it can bleed

[spice pecan]

ah right, so you need minion bleed chance

[elder marlin]

Yea i just hook it up woth chance to bleed support

Thats why i said gratuitous is budget temu hinakora

U need 2 skill gems to achieve the same thing as hinakora

[spice pecan]

i mean it's guaranteed explode if you have 100% bleed chance at least

[elder marlin]

I dont

And i also cant

[spice pecan]

ouch

[elder marlin]

Thats the price to pay for free lucky block

[proud gorge]

you can also socket an abyssal jewel with minion bleed chance on it

if you really want to get the bleedsplosions

I mean you could socket a bunch of those to get your bleed chance way up, but that's probably not worth it

[elder marlin]

My jewel socket r tight af

Even with 2 large

[proud gorge]

fair yeah

the PoB I pulled this from socketed that jewel here, and that's honestly probably not worth it lmao

[spice pecan]

time for a 3p voices for abyss jewels

[proud gorge]

4 passive points for 10% bleed, plus some armour and life and chaos res

[elder marlin]

Thats 4 points also my pob is has quite alot of differences

[proud gorge]

probably not worth yeah

[elder marlin]

Hell nah

[iron cradle]

do we know when is the next league?

[spice pecan]

early march is what its looking like

[jagged raven]

guys is there a guide on how to complete all the steam achievements for poe?

[spice pecan]

there's a mod called no stone unturned or something

[iron cradle]

march really? wont that conflict with poe 2's league? wont that be around the same time?

[spice pecan]

that basically gives you an ingame overlay for the two hardest achievements

[jagged raven]

mod on an online game? wont that get me banned?

[spice pecan]

it's looking like we're getting 1mo poe1, 3mo poo2

nah, it's just a little overlay

[stuck phoenix]

Mods are illegal

[jagged raven]

i mean is that safe?

ok

oh

[proud gorge]

it's gonna be either late february, or early march

[stuck phoenix]

Overlays are specifically not mods in general

[iron cradle]

should be other way around ngl

[spice pecan]

yeah sorry it's not a mod

it's just an overlay

[stuck phoenix]

Because if they were mods they wouldn't be an overlay

[jagged raven]

i see

[spice pecan]

agreed, but ggg don't seem to

it's called all ears unturned iirc

[frigid wedge]

god i gotta play smth with indigon

[iron cradle]

i mean its just logical
i played poe 2 0.4 for a few weeks and now its just boring as fuck
i want to get into poe 1 to see what an actual end game is

[jagged raven]

what does the overlay do exactly?

[gritty epoch]

Poo2 bad

[proud gorge]

the gist of it is that two of the "hardest" achievements, which aren't actually hard so much as difficult to keep track of, require you to see every piece of campaign dialogue and also every piece of lore text

[stuck phoenix]

You only really need a guide for two of them, all ears and no stone unturned

[proud gorge]

all ears is all dialogue, no stone unturned is all environmental lore

[spice pecan]

it basically just lets you select which area you are in, gives you a checklist of things to do, you check them off, and then click a button to show the next area

and you do that thru the entire campaign

[stuck phoenix]

Main issue with all ears is that you constantly get locked out of dialogue

[spice pecan]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2948321869 here is a 3.27 guide for it all in text format on steam that doesn't have the overlay it looks like

[stuck phoenix]

And no stone unturned just takes forever because you'd need to fully explore every zone if you don't have a guide for it

[proud gorge]

for reference, though, neither is the rarest achievement in the game, though they are the 4th and 3rd rarest achievements

[stuck phoenix]

But isn't nearly as bad as all ears

[spice pecan]

the only achievement that's somewhat difficult is clearing hall of grandmasters tbh

[proud gorge]

no stone unturned also has some fiddly things, like needing to see all the Vaal Side area dialogue, as well as all the library dialogue

[spice pecan]

and finding enough ppl to do CTF, assuming it even works

[stuck phoenix]

I tried to get as much dialogue as possible while playing normally once. By the end of acts I was 2/3rds of the way for all ears.

[proud gorge]

and the library dialogue is weird since only some of them load in every time you go to the library

so you have to repeatedly reload the library to get all the different environmental lores

so it's unlikely anyone has gotten No Stone Unturned by accident, unless they were very specifically going for the achivement

[jagged raven]

do u have the link for the overlay?

i found one but its 7yrs old

on github

[proud gorge]

anyways, ironically even CTF isn't the rarest achievement

the rarest achievement is, apparently, to equip every Maraketh weapon

[stuck phoenix]

Well ctf isn't really hard

[spice pecan]

i think esm did a run with it recently

[stuck phoenix]

Equip every maraketh is another thing that's surprisingly hard to do by accident, but not hard enough to be the rarest

[spice pecan]

i actually did the maraketh one by accident i'm pretty sure

[stuck phoenix]

Is it less old? Probably

[proud gorge]

that's probably why yeah

[ocean field]

petition for exsanguinate to have a white skill effect skin

[spice pecan]

it literally does

[ocean field]

instead of red

[proud gorge]

so a decent number of people who'd be recorded under global stats just haven't played since the Maraketh achievement was added

[spice pecan]

and mathil did a video about exactly what you're thinking about

[proud gorge]

but yeah, imo the actual "hardest" achievement is probably level 90 on a hardcore

it's not too hard if you just play a good hardcore build

[spice pecan]

nvm i havent done it

[proud gorge]

and play it safe

but it is quite punishing

so it's probably the hardest of all the steam achievements for that reason alone

it actually requires you to, you know, play the game well

[spice pecan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT-0X18ht2A

[proud gorge]

and I guess the "hardest" non-hardcore achivement is probably The Forsaken Masters

since it requires you to beat Vaal Omnitect, Aul, Farrul, Catarina, and Uber Elder

[ocean field]

Now that is what I am talking about well done ggg well done

[split maple]

I think it's cheesable this league, due to grafts not having pvp scaling

[spice pecan]

yeah it's just annoying as fuck having to pray you don't get any of the four ggnoobs or putrefyrotspoilfester

though maybe modern league builds can tank the latter, that character is quite old

[ocean field]

gang have you guys tried them void maps

[spice pecan]

not interested in losing my character

[ocean field]

yeah but one has to at least be tempted

[split maple]

If I got a good one ever

[ocean field]

This is my second league and I am already tempted

might save enough by the next 2 league to try in standard

[split maple]

Like the best void I have is for fflesh

[spice pecan]

nope, i see void and i chuck the map in the stash and never look at it again

[split maple]

And cba for that

[ocean field]

I lowky want to try it when I have an expendable char

will prolly never try in league

but will do in standard

cause you bascially have nothing to lose

[spice pecan]

i mean trickster is usually the go-to ascendancy for doing void maps

[ocean field]

yeah

good

[spice pecan]

as long as it's not union of souls you sometimes don't need crazy gear

just go slow and spend 30 minutes in the map

and have logout macro ready

[ocean field]

yeah I can do that

I want to be at the edge

gives me a high

[elder marlin]

Would glad be better?

Like lucky shinadigans

[split maple]

Rly depends on rest of the mods tho

[spice pecan]

maybe, but no block is a mod

[elder marlin]

[split maple]

Like there is hh valdo with only two mods being voided and frogs

[spice pecan]

there's a mageblood valdo with 1 mod, increased character size

[ocean field]

I will prolly try from the easiest mod to the hardest one

don't really care too much about the rewards

I just want to run the map

[split maple]

Someone Got a 0mod valdo yday in ssf global

For atziri disfavor

[spice pecan]

huge

[dusky urchin]

Have

[spice pecan]

transfer that map to standard trade

[split maple]

These are multimirr collector pieces yea

[spare ore]

just 5 to 1 them for div inscribes why waste ur time on em

[ocean field]

Bro made this video just a year ago

[elfin spire]

Testing it rn and it looks worse/similar than doing bane, huh.
And for bane I at least can see damage stats.
Can't see any stats for impending doom.

[spice pecan]

this was for phrecia pretty sure

he made the kboc whisperer league starter which i started in phrecia and it was so much fun

[ocean field]

ah phreica

I actually played like a month of poe at the start of settlers

then quit

then came back at the end

[spice pecan]

settlers was a good time for the first 3 months

[ocean field]

after like 9 months

[spice pecan]

currency exchange was an absolute gamechanger

holy shit

[ocean field]

yeah

thank god I didn't have to deal with old systems

and now with async trade

[spice pecan]

poe before currency exchange was.. something

[ocean field]

I think I am in peak poe state (except 3.27)

[spare ore]

it really was

[proud gorge]

nah we got asynch this league

the QoL has never been higher

[ocean field]

yeah I meant the league mech

async is obviously very good

[proud gorge]

I've made a lot of money this league just on the back of being able to easily liquidate things

[ocean field]

I can now acutally buy stuff in mins rather than hours

[proud gorge]

instead of having to put it up and then wait around in my hideout all day

playing Trade of Exile instead of Path of Exile

[elfin shale]

Starting to wonder how tf i make Kinetic Rain of Impact deal damage

[dusky urchin]

[proud gorge]

and I'll be honest, I didn't really like the Mercenaries league as a league mechanic that much. Like, the mercenaries themselves, eh, did some powerful things but mostly just let you do things that were already good better instead of actually making for new and interesting builds

but like

that was basically the totality of the league mechanic

[proud gorge]

no real actual "league content"

[spice pecan]

[proud gorge]

even this league, for all that people complain about it, at least has real league content in it, enemies, mechanics, a boss fight

a very underwhelming boss fight

but at least it's there

I suppose the new memory stuff was the "league content", kind of?

except obviously we've still got that

[spice pecan]

that was technically expansion content

but yea

im just wondering when we're gonna move on from eater and exarch tbh

[spare ore]

hope next league we get some cool endgame bosses

[split pagoda]

I dont think we’re getting any particularly interesting endgame bosses for awhile

[proud gorge]

it's getting long

[split pagoda]

Most likely will be some league mechanic boss but they’re typically not that special

[proud gorge]

gotta get my other two auras on line

[ancient sorrel]

is there a PoB bug with The will of X ?
Looks like the light of meaning are not counted

can someone check my PoB and tell me if im wrong ?

https://pobb.in/SYoMHIwUrhtd

i have 900ish % inc phys dmg with a 15% ring, and auras have 78% buff

should be 900 x 0.15 = 135%

[frigid wedge]

that pob has 1 gear piece

[steel light]

u could hide some of them in option if u really want

[frigid wedge]

oh 2

[proud gorge]

why would I want that lmao

[ancient sorrel]

yeah, its empty, just working on tree with will of tul @frigid wedge

[frigid wedge]

pride is phys damage taken not phys dmg dealt

[ancient sorrel]

yes but pride should have 135% buff

so max stage, 40 x 2.35 = 95%

[frigid wedge]

pride has a max debuff

[ocean field]

does kinetic bolt shotgun?

[frigid wedge]

of 39

at lvl 20

[ocean field]

not fragmentation

[frigid wedge]

then no

[spice pecan]

kinetic bolt of fragmentation used to

regular kbolt does not

[ancient sorrel]

so ring buff doesnt bypass it?

[frigid wedge]

it still does

[frigid wedge]

no

it will cap out at the max for pride

[ocean field]

oh ok

[frigid wedge]

if anything says up to all modifiers will respect that max

[spice pecan]

i said "used to" because kbof isn't a playable skill anymore

it only exists to dilute the blue trans gem pool

[frigid wedge]

i hate that we have so many skills that can shotgun but the ones that are made with the intention of shotgunning are useless in generic builds

so shrap ballista and kbof

shrap ballistas are ok but u cant balance it around the shotgunning when so many skills already do without being balanced around it

[ancient sorrel]

PoB says otherwise

but the 71% is wrong for me, its not the good calculation

[spice pecan]

shrap ballista is also only played on what, dex stack hiero?

[frigid wedge]

str

siege ballistas are dex

[spice pecan]

ah yeah

[frigid wedge]

str stack balllista hiero isnt weak the skill just sucks without spamming totems with hiero dmg per totem

[spice pecan]

i feel like if you're gonna play a str stacker anyways there's better options

[frigid wedge]

honestly its not that bad

its more chilled out

and it can do ultis etc

[spice pecan]

i mean it has to be better than dex stack siege ballista

[frigid wedge]

well yeah

massively

poeguy starts dex one and swaps str as soon as he has current

[dull osprey]

is these any easy way to get to Lycia easy? i have barely done the Sanctum and wanted to know if i just have to do it alot to get to her

[frigid wedge]

quwst tome

or buy carry

[steel light]

does it matter for the area of effect of my aura skills?

[frigid wedge]

wat

aoe doesn't change

just more space for reserving

[steel light]

like if i don't increase the aoe of zealotry range minions might be out of range etc

[frigid wedge]

yes but u should still consider it is likely to harm u considering that looks like cws

[steel light]

oh, i typed better instead of matter

[frigid wedge]

yes the aoe affects it

[steel light]

i was thinking to not increase the quality before i double corrupt it

[elder marlin]

Why double corrupt it

[elfin shale]

Aura

[tight plinth]

to flex

[elder marlin]

It would nerf u

[proud gorge]

Ultimatum builds like CWS glad usually just don't care about the Treachery runegraft, because there's an ultimatum mod that does that anyways

so you kind of have to build around that anyways

I also take it on FRoSS since it also doesn't matter at all

giving enemies ES is irrelevant because I deal chaos damage, and giving enemies more chaos damage is irrelevant because I'm CI

[elfin shale]

Giving enemies ES is a damage buff

[steel light]

i'm derp, should just buy it than alva

[proud gorge]

but yeah, I might not on a Zealotry build, unless you happen to be crit immune

since spell crits are potentially some of the most deadly things you can be hit by in the game

[steel light]

this works for spells right? if it does how much general % damage from spell crit i'll take

[proud gorge]

it does yeah

[tight plinth]

depends on how much crit multi enemy has

[steel light]

i was gonna double corrupt for +1lvl, but i could just buy 21 zealotry from trade for cheap with no risk of + quality

[proud gorge]

if you can get 100% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes then you're functionally crit immune

to the extra damage portion anyways

30% reduced extra damage from crits means that you still take 70% of the extra damage from the crit

and if the enemy has a decent amount of crit multi (eg: from map explicits) then that's still quite a bit of damage

just 30% less extra damage

[ancient sorrel]

well, increased phys dmg doesnt seem to work with the will of uun netol..
light of meaning and pride watcher dont add anything to the auras

thats so fucking strange

wording is the same than delirium clusters, and they work

[tranquil sedge]

got a pob to showcase that?

Note that only modifiers to global physical damage apply (i.e. local physical damage modifiers on weapons, melee physical damage, and physical damage with attacks do not apply). Large cluster jewels and The Light of Meaning can provide large quantities of this stat.

[spare ore]

yeah, but your basically crit immune already except for cold crits

[ancient sorrel]

https://pobb.in/ouNPqznf4T0I

[tranquil sedge]

kk taking a peek

[steel light]

no, i mean with runecraft of treachery the aoe increase could be avoidable for range enemies with 0 quality, so i shouldn't get anything with quality
21/0 is ideal for me

[ancient sorrel]

and 'global physical damage' from crimson jewels are ok too

im pretty sure at this level that its a PoB issue

[tranquil sedge]

why do you say its not working

look at this lightning res node next to your current light of meaning

[ancient sorrel]

1000% inc phys dmg must be 150% buff on auras

[tranquil sedge]

nvm im dumb let me rethink

[ancient sorrel]

i dont get why i have 98% buff

[tranquil sedge]

that buff is from the ring

it tells u right there

most of those entries do not give aura effect by default

[ancient sorrel]

with 1000% inc phys dmg and a 15% ring, i should have 150% dont i ?

[tranquil sedge]

sec

so ur currently getting 86% from the ring

[tranquil sedge]

you assumed you have more than 1000% inc phys damage because of?

because of this right?

[ancient sorrel]

yeah

[tranquil sedge]

okay so

when i unequip this mastery, for example

it doesn't change the aura effect

[ancient sorrel]

i remove all the node 'phys dmg with axe ' for example

[tranquil sedge]

i think some of that 1220% might not be getting counted towards the phys damage

hmm

[ancient sorrel]

yeah, there is also melee phys due to str

when i check this

if i remove melee phys bot, and bonus from str, every 'seems' ok to fit the ring conditions

[tranquil sedge]

its not just that

the mastery i said for example, thats not being counted

or 'wild savagery' 100% inc phys, not that either

[ancient sorrel]

thats so weird

even watcher isnt counted

[tranquil sedge]

hmm

yea looks like it
dunno why

[spice pecan]

a fresh new bleed bow player came and bought one of my hemophilia glove bricks and i checked him out on poeninja, he's using melee phys support on split arrow

[ancient sorrel]

i cant figure out if PoB issue, or intended

and for wild savagery, i dont understand

wording is perfect for the ring

guess i have to try and figure it out.. if its PoB or the game

[tranquil sedge]

im just tryna think how to test this in-game

[ancient sorrel]

determination buff is a good check

armour value

[tranquil sedge]

that makes sense

check armor rating with and without the watcher's eye then

normally with your mods it should not affect it at all, unless the stat counts for the ring, then it should

[ancient sorrel]

i 'think' it should

[tranquil sedge]

try 😄

[ancient sorrel]

yeah

ty for your time checking with me

[tranquil sedge]

np its fun

always learn smth new

[ancient sorrel]

yeah i thought it could be fun to max scale war banner / impresence vuln / deter / pride

but im so confused on what works and doesnt 🙂

[tranquil sedge]

might be conditional stuff not being tracked properly in pob
or just legit doesn't work if its condition idk

test in game and find out is the only way i think rn

[crisp plinth]

ok swapped to soulwrest from aw and its way more comfy

[tight plinth]

whats aw?

[spice pecan]

animate weapon

[crisp plinth]

yeah ranged version in my case

was annoying to bladefall manually in ssf

[spice pecan]

yeah, I couldn't get gem rooms to show up at all when i was trying to build RAW in ssf

[crisp plinth]

i tried all mechanics that could drop those gems and got 0 trathus so far

[spice pecan]

i'm kinda thinking about trying lance's eblade inquis setup

though i wonder which is better between selfcast/coc/mines

[crisp plinth]

coc sounds most comfy out of these

[spice pecan]

what's the benefit of coc over selfcast? you technically lose two links

[ancient sorrel]

wild savagery doesnt work, i dont understand why @tranquil sedge 🙂

[tranquil sedge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

no clue either man

maybe make a reddit post if u wanna see if someone can give a good answer

[ancient sorrel]

global phys from grafts either

thats bullshit

[crisp plinth]

movement and dmg in one button press but that depends too

[spice pecan]

coc runs lancing steel over cyclone it looks like

[crisp plinth]

oh then bleh

[elfin shale]

We sure that isnt a PoB only issue?

[tranquil sedge]

wait really?

[elfin shale]

Oh i see yall tested in game

[crisp plinth]

also i wish id get a leash of oblation to get all 3 offerings up

[elfin shale]

Rough

[tranquil sedge]

did you do the armor testing in game

[pulsar dune]

Coc gets more cast speed probably

[ancient sorrel]

i tried IG, and wild savagery doesnt pump my armour,while having determination

[pulsar dune]

You should be able to get to 10 trigger rate

[spice pecan]

because you scale attack speed instead of cast speed?

[tranquil sedge]

strange then

[ancient sorrel]

same for a graft

Item Class: Grafts
Rarity: Rare
Flesh Caress
Hardening Uulgraft

Quality: +13% (augmented)
Graftblood: 0/10454 (augmented)

Requirements:
Level: 80

Item Level: 85

2% additional Physical Damage Reduction (implicit)
Uses level 30 Tender Embrace (implicit)

39% increased Global Physical Damage
21% increased Graftblood gained
Buff granted by Tender Embrace used by this Graft grants 0.41% of Damage Leeched as Life

Graft items can only be modified by Implant currencies.

[tranquil sedge]

^ my recommendation i think

[ancient sorrel]

this doesnt work

[pulsar dune]

Lancing steel hits a fuckton, and cyclone is a 200% AS skill

[ancient sorrel]

yeah, gonna try reddit

[pulsar dune]

Unearth and flame surge can get to 10 cast rate pretty handily, but most spells don't have cast time that short

[elfin shale]

300% even isnt it

[pulsar dune]

Maybe

Oh yip, 300

Mines are strong as well, but idk what skill you'd click with hexblast of contra gone

[spice pecan]

eye of winter supposedly good on mines

[pulsar dune]

EoW should work, yea

Especially with the lower spread of curtain call

[spice pecan]

speaking of curtain call i just watched the old build of the week video about curtain call EA mines sabo

[pulsar dune]

Wow

That's a cook and a half

[spice pecan]

looked like a neato budget build

prestack EA mines on a boss looked pretty funny

[proud gorge]

Man, playing with Lightning Conduit, I thought to myself, hey, it'd be cool if there were some sort of Arc of the Conduit, to give Arc some more good scaling potential

but thinking about it, that's basically what Lightning Conduit is already

like, what would some theoretical "Arc ot the Conduit" even look like? A chaining skill that deals more damage with shock effect, consumes shock, only targets/chains to enemies with shock, and can't shock itself? That'd just be Lightning Conduit

and honestly LC with Orb of Storms kind of looks like Arc anyways, mostly because of Orb of Storms chaining

alas, the biggest issue with Arc, like with most spells in the game, is just that it doesn't have anything really making it stand out compared to every other random hit-based spell skill in the game

[ocean field]

can u make an eblade contagion?

does that work

using spellblade

[elfin shale]

No

[spice pecan]

uh, you wouldnt gain anything from the flat

[proud gorge]

Contagion doesn't benefit from added damage

[ocean field]

oh

I see it is not a "hit"

[elfin shale]

Eblade Essence Drain Poison

[ocean field]

Eblade also does not work with essence drain tho

or does it?

[elfin shale]

Not on the DoT part but ED has a hit

So you can poison with it

(This would be fucking terrible dont do it)

[ocean field]

yeah duh

[pulsar dune]

What's the harm in some eblade poison fun

[ocean field]

Dihpression

[elfin shale]

Lightning Poison is always cringe

1/5th of your poisons deal 0 dps

[pulsar dune]

Just curtain call

It'll be fine

[elfin shale]

I do unironically wanna run ED of Wickedness Poison at some point even though i think itd suck

[proud gorge]

lightning poison is fine, just not on Essence Drain lmao

[steel light]

can someone help me with this idiot thread of hope removal? i've refund everything and i can't remove or replace with another massive ring thread of hope

[elfin shale]

Isnt that the additional mines thrown hat

[spice pecan]

yeah

[elfin shale]

Fire node in the top right

Small node

[proud gorge]

ah yeah, in Explosive Impact

good eye

[elfin shale]

Maybe also the DEX and minion damage notables at templar start i cant tell on those

[elfin shale]

You shouldve seen my Eblade Mamba, it was beautiful

(It was so bad)

[proud gorge]

ah, I played EE mamba

it was pretty fun

but yeah I can imagine that eblade wouldn't exactly be a great weapon for it lmao

[elfin shale]

I also tested EE, iirc it ended up better but im an eblade believer

[steel light]

which?

[proud gorge]

like, one of the benefits of mamba is it combining both main hand weapons into a single strike to apply poison with

[elfin shale]

If Mamba SOMEHOW escapes the nerf hammer again im gonna play hit-based Eblade Mamba

[pulsar dune]

You get two eblades

[proud gorge]

oh, do you? I thought eblade only consumed one weapon

[elfin shale]

Yeah you get two

[pulsar dune]

No, it takes all your weapons

[proud gorge]

I guess that's better than I thought then

[pulsar dune]

Otherwise you could nyctas

[steel light]

it's not in use

[pulsar dune]

Which would be too good IG

[proud gorge]

you need to despec that small passive there

[elfin shale]

Blade Blast of Dagger Detonation is mid af right

[elfin shale]

Enhance image

[spare ore]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-meme-enhance-gif-10207712088460034302

[steel light]

ok wtf

[whole bluff]

Man, I wanna see more blade buffs everywhere

[steel light]

[elfin shale]

Enhance Image

[pulsar dune]

Not even that bad, but crafting a phys dagger is a bit miserable

[steel light]

thanks 🔎 👓

[spare ore]

trueee

[pulsar dune]

And you get an okay phys spell as a payoff

[whole bluff]

Eblade but a dagger for dex/int archetype, that adds dmg to blade spells

[proud gorge]

clearly I should have gotten out the MS Paint to draw a Helpful Red Circle

with a big arrow pointing to it

and a youtuber gasping in the bottom left corner

[spice pecan]

needs temple run on the screen tbh

[pulsar dune]

Ritual of blood, eats your life to give you a weapon with fat phys flat

[whole bluff]

Buff that enhances an axe or mace based on int or life or mana or something

[pulsar dune]

And just delete bloodthirst.

[whole bluff]

Maybe some stuff for staff though idk what

[spice pecan]

remember when maces were a relevant weapon type

[whole bluff]

Ye

[steel light]

nebulis counts?

[elfin shale]

Yall rember Kaom's or Shavronne's being the only viable body armours

Idk how long that lasted

[spice pecan]

that's a sceptre no?

[whole bluff]

Vaguely

[spare ore]

scepter

[steel light]

for base jewels should i just vaal orb for chance of random implicit?

[whole bluff]

Sceptres are and are not maces

[spice pecan]

true

[elfin shale]

I mean you can but personally id just hold that

[steel light]

o 🚮

[spice pecan]

non-sceptre maces i meant

[proud gorge]

Bloodsoaked Blade: Gain a buff that gives extra flat physical damage to your melee weapon(s) based on your maximum unreserved life, as well as 50% chance to bleed, but in exchange you're inflicted with a strong physical degen similar to a really strong bleed, but that you can't be immune to

so you just need PDR

[pulsar dune]

Adding phys flat just makes you a voidforge tool

[spare ore]

if you can afford losing/bricking the item then sure

[spice pecan]

isn't the current bloodsoaked blade what makes tinctures somewhat playable

[elfin shale]

No

[proud gorge]

oh, is that a real thing?

[pulsar dune]

Could make it spell phys flat and have it join hand of the fervent

[proud gorge]

I just made up a name

[elfin shale]

Some day....some day...

[proud gorge]

lmao, good to know

[whole bluff]

• 0 mana cost persistent spell to buff your axe or mace based on life or int.
• 0 mana cost spell to buff your staff based on str or mana.
• 0 mana cost persistent spell to buff your dagger based on idk. Also either more EK of dagger detonation skills or this would specifically buff blade spells. Plus poison theme

[proud gorge]

I'm trying to figure out something along the lines of Elden Ring's Seppuku buff

[elfin shale]

Arcane Cloak but red

[proud gorge]

but the problem is Elden Ring's seppuku literally just deals damage to yourself

and is balanced around a game where losing health is a real cost

because you have to chug one of your limited potions

[elfin shale]

I think whatever you do it has to actually replace the weapon otherwise it becomes Voidforge/Doomfletch fodder

[proud gorge]

fair yeah

[elfin shale]

Man i hope they add another method to get Sequential projectiles

[proud gorge]

oh, here's an idea

[elfin shale]

Barrage support is so ass

[proud gorge]

what if the buff grants Final physical damage

so it's added on at the end, after conversion

[pulsar dune]

Interesting

[elfin shale]

Really bad unless its like 800% of your life and then you end up with Brightbeak gamers

[proud gorge]

it still benefits from increased physical damage

[elfin shale]

I suppose

Thatd allow for some shenanigans

[proud gorge]

and other physical damage multipliers

[pulsar dune]

Brightbeak gamers are a W

[elfin shale]

Truuue

[proud gorge]

actually, now that I think about it, you know what would work actually

Herald of Blood. It's a spell, its damage scales with your max life, it causes every melee attack to gain added physical damage scaling with its damage effectiveness, but it's technically a second unrelated spell hit

[elfin shale]

Cursed

[proud gorge]

actually, screw damage effectiveness lmao

[pulsar dune]

Without DE it's woespike 2

[proud gorge]

just make it deal a physical damage hit every time you hit with an attack lmao

[pulsar dune]

Which is probably fine

Oh with any attack is crazy

But I'm down for blast rain meta NGL

[proud gorge]

what's the fastest hitting attack

I guess I was assuming melee attack

[pulsar dune]

Lancing steel of spraying, from melee it's cyclone and blade storm

If you allow simultaneous hits probably blast rain.

[proud gorge]

honestly yeah it should probably scale with the DE of the inflicting hit

otherwise things get silly

and it's pretty much exclusive to only the fastest hitting attacks in the game

either that or pull a Prismatic Burst and give it an internal cooldown

[pulsar dune]

Maybe a minion that damages you and does damage based on that.

[proud gorge]

that could be fun

Summon Skeleton of Self Reflection

[pulsar dune]

Put that on reaper IMO

I think it'd work better for something big and slow hitting thematically

[proud gorge]

yeah Reaper probably makes more sense

I just find the idea of Summon Skeleton of Self Reflection funny

[pulsar dune]

That is true

[proud gorge]

sacrifice half of your max health

to summon a permanent skeleton minion

also you can't move anymore as you collapse into a pile of skin and muscle

[pulsar dune]

Lmao

[whole bluff]

they could probably do something like "get 40% of your physical damage as extra physical damage", or just make it "this grants you x% more melee physical damage with weapons"

[whole bluff]

this would be funny

[proud gorge]

40% phys as extra phys is very funny

[elfin shale]

In 1 this loops lol

[whole bluff]

ah, yup

just more melee phys dmg with axes and maces then maybe

[proud gorge]

I mean, iirc extra damage can't be further converted

or "gain as extra"d

[whole bluff]

or more phys dmg with axe and mace

[elfin shale]

It can

[whole bluff]

maybe sword and staff, depends on what you wanna do with it

[elfin shale]

Not in 2 but it can in 1

[whole bluff]

or just added fire dmg

[proud gorge]

ah, I must be thinking of 2 then

but yeah, they already have something designed to specifically benefit physical damage

Brutality Support

[elfin shale]

Claw, wolverine pog

[proud gorge]

which is one of the strongest damage supports in the game

in exchange for needing to be pure physical damage

[whole bluff]

but claw is dex/int, but I suppose

[crisp plinth]

lmao on the day i swap to soulwrest i get the missing worm ring

[spice pecan]

xdd

[whole bluff]

it's unfortunate, but PoEs design kinda makes bloodmage effects not suited for shadow area

[proud gorge]

squyrming ring

[spice pecan]

at least we have life on tree

[whole bluff]

true

[brazen vector]

The best ring, rip worm pooper mercs

[proud gorge]

but yeah, honestly, while thematically it makes sense for life payoff things to sacrifice life, like, it easily comes to mind with stuff like Blood Sacrifice, etc, in practice it's kind of annoying that every lifestack payoff needs you to constantly drain your life

most of the ES payoff effects just scale off your ES and that's it

give us a big 2h mace that gets extra flat damage scaling with your stun threshhold or something

or a buff that gives you free flat in exchange for mildly lowering your health recovery rate

oh no, 30% slower health recovery rate

[whole bluff]

I think flat fire based on max life would work, fire casters need some help too though, but theyre less life focused

[proud gorge]

could work yeah

[whole bluff]

literally just fire eblade except it doesnt remove your weapon, it scales of life, and it adds fire, all at lower values

[limpid prairie]

We got an axe that gives free flat this league

[whole bluff]

and works with like, axe, mace, staff

[whole bluff]

basically I just want this on a skill gem

if that axe is ephemeral edge, then I want an eblade version

[proud gorge]

honestly, some unique weapons that gain damage based on various life-based stats could be fun. Stun threshhold 2h mace, claw that scales off your current life leech (which is a percentage of max life), axe that scales with your health regen

[whole bluff]

rain of chaos farming for challenges go brrr

[proud gorge]

maybe, just for fun, something that scales with missing unreserved life

though that would probably just become Rathpith Dissolution fodder

[pulsar dune]

Yea

[proud gorge]

so nvm

[limpid prairie]

Ephemeral edge at home

[proud gorge]

man they really wanted to be conservative with that one

[dapper fractal]

I love g1

[spice pecan]

bruh moment

[proud gorge]

though I guess 8-12% flat is theoretically better than EE's 10-15% to maximum, since EE comes out to like 5-7.5% on average

[pulsar dune]

Yea, life is just a bit harder to stack

[proud gorge]

yeah

[pulsar dune]

Is it good enough to just use for the flat?

[proud gorge]

then again, hmm...

[pulsar dune]

Or do you have to do some iblow zerker shenanigans

[limpid prairie]

Idk, I saw it in a totem build actually

[pulsar dune]

Maybe it's good enough for the other stats if you use the rage caster hat

And do like scorching ray totems

[proud gorge]

okay so Blood Sacrament builds build like 20k to 30k max life, but Dissolution does give a big boost to max life

[spice pecan]

rage on something like scorching ray totems would be like, impossible

[tight plinth]

ive seen people use it on AG of smithing along with rathpith and crown of eyes.

[pulsar dune]

Totem mana cost is pretty steep

[proud gorge]

there's 30k max life RF chieftains out there

[tight plinth]

double rathpith apparently works if you take necromantic aegis

[proud gorge]

so 20k to 30k is a reasonable number for a lifestack build

even without Dissolution

[pulsar dune]

That's wild

But I do believe it

[proud gorge]

with 22k life and a 12% axe, that's 2,640 flat fire damage

[pulsar dune]

That's pretty good

[proud gorge]

there's a Grey Wind Juggernaut out there rocking 45k max life lmao

but this seems to be just a pure PoB build

[tight plinth]

45k jeez

[proud gorge]

it's got Dissolution on it

[ocean field]

spell critical strike chance does not apply to kb or kinetic fusillade right?

only spell damage

[tight plinth]

nein

[proud gorge]

then again, maybe not

[finite quail]

correct

[proud gorge]

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/JackBlacksmith-7468/Еблоломка

[ocean field]

thanks

[finite quail]

Not level 100 though

[spice pecan]

regular volcanic fissure

holy shit

what year is it

[proud gorge]

very interesting build, Rathpith for spell damage, Crown of Eyes to turn that into melee damage

[elfin shale]

Swords are DEX/STR but noone says anything about Eblade

[proud gorge]

though I'm not particularly sure about the 5x Blood of the Karui alongside Dissolution lmao

then again, it's not actually, like, triggering Rathpith

it doesn't have any spells

[tight plinth]

i think he has flasks disabled with ascendancy

[proud gorge]

the Rathpith is there purely for the spell damage per 100 max life

he does yeah

[spice pecan]

-170% rarity has to hurt surely

[proud gorge]

I just mean that with Dissolution, life flasks don't really matter

since you're not using real health

[elfin shale]

It is, though using it for Ignite is kind of insane since with two of them you get in the realm of +150% DoT multi

[spice pecan]

also mapping with disso and without blood shield seems like insanity

[proud gorge]

but yeah, as much as Dissolution gives the largest numbers, I gotta reject any Dissolution lifestack build

[spice pecan]

its apparently fine with blood shield

but even then, still a bit sus imo

[tight plinth]

45k life, 3.4m dps

[elfin shale]

Just get triple lucky block ez

[proud gorge]

yeah, that's the big issue

[pulsar dune]

Yeah, zerker iblow seems pretty real

[proud gorge]

this build is rocking 45k life, getting 5,400 flat fire damage on every attack, and PoB is in fact calculating things correctly

[elfin shale]

Man i hope next patch has a ton of trans gems

[proud gorge]

and yet it's sub-4m dps

[elfin shale]

I want Reap of Soul Sacrifice or such

Fuck i should PoB Scales of Justice at some point

I think its shit but its cool

[proud gorge]

there's a few things that PoB isn't accounting for, but it's pretty minor

plus this build doesn't have any way to exert attacks anyways

[tight plinth]

this is probably just to see how much life he can get

[proud gorge]

yeah

oh yeah these are also Apostate builds

[tight plinth]

nope, went back in time, its the actual build

[proud gorge]

I do not like Apostate + Dissolution

it's like the only way to lifestack

but I don't like the build

[elfin shale]

Apostate cool af tho

[proud gorge]

anyways, seems like the highest DPS variant is an Elementalist build running Foulborn Rathpith

and igniting with Sunder

these non-ignite variants have to have more damage, right?

there's no way all this work is for, like, 4-7m dps

[elfin shale]

We stack life for the love of the game

[brazen vector]

I love apostate and dissolution

Who doesn't like having 28k life

[proud gorge]

okay it's a bit better, since PoB isn't accounting for Rage

hmm, seems like, despite the Juggernaut at the first spot, most of these Dissolution builds are running 99% block Gladiator

and no blood barrier

and oh no

they have War of Attrition

any build taking War of Attrition is cooked

[elfin shale]

DO NOT SPEAK ILL OF WAR OF ATTRITION

Its all we had before Bloodlines and its all we'll have after Bloodlines

[proud gorge]

What will you have after 500 years

[elfin shale]

100% more damage

Are there any modern skills that benefit from proxy nesting

Or was that like, only Crucible league bullshit

[proud gorge]

man, incredibly sad though

that apparently somehow the best way to get lifestack payout for attacks

is to run the lifestack payout for spell damage and wear Crown of Eyes

[pulsar dune]

Rathpit do be broken as fuck

It's probably the strongest unique in the game on numbers alone.

[proud gorge]

anyways, if you remove Dissolution builds from the pool

this guy knows what's up

Leap Slam of Groundbreaking gaming

easily my favorite attack skill

[elfin shale]

Hmmmmmm, i guess Minefield is Less Throwing Speed rather than Multiple Traps' Less Damage

And overall additional mines are easier to get

Feels like youd rapidly end up hitting trap cap though

[visual stream]

2 more months till 3.28

[tight plinth]

https://pobb.in/CxgKgvtgkjTr

without the giga weapon its still 60 m lol

[pulsar dune]

Garb on Bob huh

Oh and hallowed monarch let's gooo

[spice pecan]

ag chieftain huh

[pulsar dune]

60m POB DPS with HH hat on a minion build looks good NGL

Lmao literally just taking chieftain res

Didn't have budget for POF sublime IG

[granite bloom]

anyone remember the price of ilv83 blueprint raw from map at the start of league? 7c or 10c?

i need that info for planing farming 3.28

[steel light]

are u planning to heist or just to sell bp?

[granite bloom]

i planing to get the strand map (memory's one). Then use infinite map + heist craft (5c) to farm and sell bp

[steel light]

i forgot when's the start, this was from tft

[spice pecan]

league started on oct 31

so if that's dd/mm/yy then that's like week 2 yeah

[steel light]

so 1st or 2nd week, good reference point?

[spice pecan]

<@&174997701513969665>

[steel light]

would u spend 9D to buy a lvl 4 enlighten support, or buy 10 lvl 1 support for 9D, level them and then alva them all?

[granite bloom]

tks alots, 8/11 is good enough.

[tight plinth]

that is not dd/mm/yy

slash is mm/dd/yy no?

[steel light]

i'm not a murican 👀

[pulsar dune]

Leveling them takes way too long

[granite bloom]

we need time to farm and get map point too

[spice pecan]

use wild bramblebacks to level them

tbh

[pulsar dune]

Those work on non-exceptional woke gems

[spice pecan]

oh you're right

it's 7:30am and i should go to bed but no

[granite bloom]

just found out the memory infinite map's cursed doesn't affect heist

[pulsar dune]

Enlighten is an exceptional sleepge gem

[steel light]

i'm doing gold farm with alva, i could level them off slots

[split maple]

well the trick is to convert leveled up bricks from trade/brambleback leveled wokers in lab to facetors

[pulsar dune]

Alva gold farm would be decent.

[granite bloom]

so i can save 2c for each strand map

[split maple]

then use facetor on exceptional

[pulsar dune]

Ah, facetors makes sense

[spice pecan]

yeah i knew bramblebacks were used for enlighten/empower somehow

[elfin shale]

200 - 400 flat is really bad stonks for a manastacker right

[spice pecan]

i just forgor how xdd

[pulsar dune]

Or use the fucked up omen and die at 99 multiple times

[elfin shale]

What if Mind of The Council + Whispers of Infinity + The Scales of Justice + one of the archmage wand attacks

Or is this trying too hard

[stuck phoenix]

Trying too hard

How much dps is even motc there

[elfin shale]

Probably none lol

Scales is also dogshit

[pulsar dune]

Oh I just read scales of justice, that's a crazy item

[granite bloom]

are you live in discord? every time i ask a question, i always found you 2 - 3 mins later lol

[pulsar dune]

IG it's more flat than archmage
