[tight plinth]

smh

[nocturne saddle]

well me and my spinning star of david are going to fight the evil 😄

[proud gorge]

man, this build sure does do a lot of damage

that was the second time I've ever fully phaseskipped the Act 9 boss

but the first time I've ever zero phased them

killed them before they got even a single move off

[tight plinth]

whachu playing?

[opaque sphinx]

pcharge LC

[proud gorge]

pretty good for Act 9 with levelling gear lmao

[proud gorge]

Pcharge shock stacking Lightning Conduit yeah

Lightning Conduit is honestly the sleeper hit for "busted damage scaling spells"

[crisp plinth]

3/3 lul

[proud gorge]

everyone talks about Penis Brand, but nobody ever talks about Lightning Cock

lmao

probably because it's a two button build, and people hate those

though in practice you can probably make it into a one-button build without too much issue

equip Kitava's Thirst or something instead of Replica Heatshiver

[pulsar dune]

Do you get mana/life cost to 200?

[proud gorge]

oh wait yeah, I guess you'd have to spend it all at once

nvm, I guess the Kitava's Thirst version only works for the Archmage variant

the non-archmage variant would have to use something else to trigger the Orb of Storms

[pulsar dune]

Honestly for clear skitters or smth should be fine, no?

[proud gorge]

I mean, for clear I just use Frostblink of Wintry Blast

if the frostblink doesn't kill them, I can tap LC on them

[pulsar dune]

Yea, that's fine then

[proud gorge]

since as Elementalist all hits shock

[pulsar dune]

Most builds have some extra buttons for bossing

/tanky enemies

IG you just found a strong build

[proud gorge]

hmm, one issue I am vaguely running into is a lack of stun immunity though

the build I copied runs Arakaali, since it does kind of need the chaos resistance against damage over time

[pulsar dune]

You are "supposed to" click ignore stuns while casting

[proud gorge]

but maybe I can swap the minor pantheon to Shakiri and the major to Brine King

[proud gorge]

I mean, usually when I get stunned it's because I just frostblinked into some enemies, they happened to not die, and then immediately started stunlocking me

if I were casting then they'd just be dead before I can get stunned

[pulsar dune]

Makes sense

[proud gorge]

so yeah, I think this build might need Bring King

which makes me more vulnerable to DoTs

so I'll probably have to replace the Movement Speed line on one of these flasks with bleed and corrupted blood immunity

and then take Shakiri for anti-poison

since going into endgame on 3.8k life with no stun immunity or Brine King seems like a recipe for disaster

I mean granted, this is probably a dedicated bosser build

but still

alternatively, maybe I should just slot Immutable Force lmao

I've got a free jewel socket, until I muster up the 160 div for the Forbidden Power FFs

[spice pecan]

tiniest fort i've ever seen

[proud gorge]

yeah, that's the min-size fort variant

[spice pecan]

haven't ever seen this before

[split maple]

pretty common in some layouts

[proud gorge]

it exists for the purposes of when the map generation can't fit a full sized fort anywhere

[split maple]

so if you are like dunes enjoyer i can believe you never saw it

[spice pecan]

but ive definitely seen full sized forts in a10 ravaged square no

[proud gorge]

so it defaults to the min-sized fort, which has the same footprint as a generic league mechanic

yeah, it's just a map generation thing

[split maple]

a10 rav square doesnt have a shitload of other mechanics in it 😄

[spice pecan]

well it is very cute and i love it :)

[proud gorge]

this league mechanic also has a giant footprint, but their fallback seems to be to just drop the mechanic in regardless of space

since technically the only "space" it actually needs is for the hand at the center

I can't think of any other major league mechanics other than Betrayal Fort that are genuinely really big and thus need that much clear space to even fit the object

[undone gazelle]

you get the minifort 100% of time on Sepulchre iirc

[violet flame]

I cast, Balls itch

[nocturne saddle]

roll for phisical

[finite quail]

im pretty sure the star of david isnt a thing in the poe universe

[nocturne saddle]

I mean...

sure

the jewish religion isn't in the game dah, but the symbol is coming from jewish religion 😛

[proud gorge]

no wait, I forgot to include the Sap from the graft

[nocturne saddle]

no idea what that means

[proud gorge]

no wait that doesn't increase damage taken

nvm

[nocturne saddle]

WTF I'm a jew and I have no idea what that even meeeaannnsss

[proud gorge]

unrelated

[finite quail]

uh cool

[finite quail]

why sap tho

thats reduced damage dealt for enemies

[proud gorge]

honestly mostly just for the Area of Effect on the graft

I don't think any other grafts, like, do anything

[nocturne saddle]

still what does that have to do with being a jew XD I duno feels weird to even talk about that

[proud gorge]

nothing whatsoever

[nocturne saddle]

then what the fuck

[proud gorge]

as I said, it's unrelated, I was talking about my build that I talked about earlier

[split maple]

stop being weird math

[nocturne saddle]

OOOOH

said right after I said something, so it seems like a replay

[pulsar dune]

Does the shocked ground graft work to maintain shock across multiple LC casts btw?

[proud gorge]

no idea, what's an easy way to produce shocked ground?

oh wait the graft

[pulsar dune]

I think it should since ppl use chilled ground for frostblink mines

[potent horizon]

swapped off winter orb into ice spear of splitting coc with cyclone and i am stacking int and str this shit is fun

using elementalist and the passive tree look wonky with two split personality jewels

[pulsar dune]

Nice

[proud gorge]

okay so according to the wiki, the Shock applied by Skitterbots is a one-time application when the enemy enters the skitterbot's range, that normally lasts until the enemy exits the skitterbot's range, so as a result if you use LC on an enemy shocked by Skitterbot they'll just lose the shock until they exit then re-enter the skitterbot range

[potent horizon]

this the most amount of auras ive ever had on at once

[proud gorge]

but LC won't remove the shock from shocked ground, since it's a persistent shock

with the condition of "on shocked ground"

so shocked ground should serve to maintain shock for LC yeah

[pulsar dune]

Nice nice

Shame there are two sources of shocked ground in the game total

[proud gorge]

Orb of Storms is still generally a better option

but yeah

[pulsar dune]

It would enable LC mines

[proud gorge]

Vaal Lightning Trap, Wake of Destruction boots, and Ylfeban's Trickery

out of the three Wake of Destruction is probably the most "on-demand" shocked ground

[pulsar dune]

Wake of destruction would work, yea

Just probably too jank

[nocturne saddle]

dude I got like 5 unqiues so far...

this is borderlands 3 all over again

[proud gorge]

that's pretty good

have you been getting them mostly from Ancient Wombgifts?

[nocturne saddle]

just random drops

[proud gorge]

then sounds like you've been getting pretty lucky

5 is a lot of uniques to get by, uh, whereever in the game you are

end of act 2

[nocturne saddle]

level 30

[proud gorge]

act 3 then

[nocturne saddle]

well one of my goals is to fill my uniques tab to full :3

[proud gorge]

this is pretty good for end of Act 10

I think my FRoSS build was able to cross 1m at end of act 10, but it needed fully stacked poisons to hit that number, as well as max wither stacks, which takes a bit of stacking to reach

meanwhile this build can just blink in and hit those numbers instantly

ignore my max hit though lmao

[lilac parcel]

stupid question , can you change the collor of the writing ? lets say to white ? to have better visibility ?

[subtle forge]

the myrmidon fortify ring MTX not transferring into new instances is very annoying lol

have to turn it off and on again to get it to work 😒

[proud gorge]

not as far as I'm aware, unfortunately

man, literally any Synaptic Ring with +1 Power Charges is 750 div

and it's all just mirrored copies of like two rings

[tranquil sedge]

why are you looking for synaptic ring specifically

[proud gorge]

the Esh bloodline ability

ignore lightning res with two synaptic rings

[tranquil sedge]

does that still work with synthesized versions of the ring?

[proud gorge]

yeah

[tranquil sedge]

i see

[tranquil sedge]

power charge implicit bases go up in price basically every league fast

and if ur picky on specific base that makes it even harder to get

[proud gorge]

but yeah, for now I guess I'll have to go with either no power charge synaptics, or +1 power charge non-synaptics

yeah but apparently the only ones that exist on trade are just mirrored copies lmao

[tranquil sedge]

low availability of bases + implicits are expensive to roll

[proud gorge]

5 results, and it's just mirrored copies of the inferior ring and mirrored copies of the superior ring lmao

[tranquil sedge]

in general there are some items you should plan ahead for in a leaguestart scenario

power charge and frenzy charge rings

frenzy shields

etc.

things that are good to snag early

[proud gorge]

there's the one on the build

[tranquil sedge]

yh one guy made the mirror tier ring now its just cheaper to copy his

coz those implicits are pretty strong

[proud gorge]

no wait nvm apparently that's not the one on the build

[tranquil sedge]

one or two* whatever

there'll be a few variations of it

depending on wat the maker wanted

but +1 pc and spell damage per pc will probably be standard 2 out of 3

third like crit multi or rarity or whatever

maybe even int idk

[proud gorge]

yeah

[tranquil sedge]

if u gonna do this next league try to grind and grab a base by week 2-3 tops

u can save crafting it for later if u need but at least acquire the base asap

[proud gorge]

I'm not really planning to lmao

[tranquil sedge]

ye, just if

[nocturne saddle]

hmm... what do I do with the body parts I don't want right now? do I keep them in the freezer or smth?

[proud gorge]

this is well outside of my price range, since I'm usually a pretty casual player

maybe if I hard grind for it, or get very lucky with a mirror drop or something

[tranquil sedge]

wat if it was 'just' 150-300d range instead

[nocturne saddle]

OOHH

I'm stupid

[proud gorge]

but I don't really play enough PoE to farm up mirror-tier equipment lmao

[tranquil sedge]

so ur not bad at the game, just a matter of grinding time for u ye running some 20d/hr or whatever method
if u reach t17s next league just try the basic bitch harvest and go on ziggurat or abom map, i bet you can reach 25-30d/hr 😄
(between lifeforce and boss frags and misc drops from clear)

[proud gorge]

I mean, it's definitely doable yeah, I just don't tend to play with the sort of efficiency necessary, nor do I enjoy doing so

[tranquil sedge]

^this why u buy early
like just dump into shards asap the moment u have a functioning build ready

by week 1 if u have a farming build ready for whatever strategy

[proud gorge]

I'm pretty content to hang out in the slightly lower tier of builds

[tranquil sedge]

just start buying up mirror shards asap and then dump into ur chase base by week 2-3

[proud gorge]

I also don't usually play on like week 1

[tranquil sedge]

a 'budget' +1 pc ring is probably somewhere in the range i mentioned that early

it wont have triple perfect implicits/etc, but thats fine

[proud gorge]

yeah

[tranquil sedge]

add another 50-100d idk to craft it later but at that point ur on ur own timeline, no rush

[nocturne saddle]

so I'm running a RF build...

[proud gorge]

I was just hoping for some random +1 power charge Synaptic on the market, not the mirrored triple implicit

but ah well

[proud gorge]

on an RF build you should really not be hitting low life enough for this to matter

[tranquil sedge]

whenever ur done with this league, if u dont care about standard currency, liquidate and dump into vultures/cc if u wanna try a bit of beast fun

[nocturne saddle]

I mean yea, but still.

[tranquil sedge]

see if u can hit a fun ring on your own 😄

(i tried in phrecia with like 50-70 reroll attempts, i hit like 5 different combinations of a mana+dex stacking usable ring since i wasn't going for 'perfect' or anything, it was fun af)

[nocturne saddle]

where is sepia oil from?

[tranquil sedge]

^ start on a triple synth base and go nuts

[tranquil sedge]

blight is the primary source

[nocturne saddle]

ty

[dark spindle]

turk varmi?

[steady elk]

kek just had a unique drop in twilight strand

[split maple]

congrats on achiviement

[proud gorge]

hmm, I decided to check which of losing the Synaptic or losing the +1 Power Charge implicit would result in a larger loss in damage

but apparently both come out to almost exactly 45% less damage

so I guess I just pick whichever one is less difficult for me to acquire

[finite quail]

no

[pulsar dune]

Wouldn't losing synaptic let you respec the bloodline and include other sources of res shred?

[proud gorge]

sure, but none of the other bloodlines seem to actually give a whole lot. It's probably just end up being cats I guess?

[pulsar dune]

If you're ele you could take an ele node

The exposure node is usually pretty good

[proud gorge]

yeah, I'd have to slot some way to inflict lightning exposure, but that can't be too hard

maybe just Wave of Conviction

well, looks like a +1 power charge ring that I can craft on is like 200 div anyways

so I guess I'm going Synaptics

I have no idea how to craft

how do I convince this ring to have T1 life and T1 chaos res

[split maple]

synaptics are common enough to recombi if you looking for like 3-4 usable mods

[proud gorge]

it needs to be a synthesized synaptic to roll chaos res though

so that it loses its implicit

[split maple]

why?

[cobalt blade]

you synth it so you can roll chaos and then essence spam for suff into reforge chaos

[split maple]

chaos res isnt non-lightning DAMAGe mod

[cobalt blade]

the damage part isny real

[split maple]

eh fuck

well essence for chaos res then 👍

[cobalt blade]

(and then its just matron/suff cant be changed exalted till life)

[proud gorge]

hmm, which essence? I don't think there's a life essence for rings

ah

sounds very expensive

I guess I'm operating on no chaos res then

[split maple]

oh wait envy dont give chaos res on rings -.-

so yeah synth then sadge

i swear simuls are rotting my brain off

[proud gorge]

I've crafted the shittiest ring ever

[cobalt blade]

its not too bad i think its like 15-20 scours on avg once you have suff and can always settle on t2

its only bad once you want 2 prefixes lol

[proud gorge]

I mainly mean the suffixes can't be changeds

[cobalt blade]

vision crafting at its finest

[proud gorge]

aren't those like a div each

[cobalt blade]

idk what matrons are worth rn

but thats not like expensive

[proud gorge]

looks like 30c

or so

but I don't think you can force prefixes can't be changed

since the other crafts other than suffixes can't be changed are all suffixes

[cobalt blade]

you never use pre cant be changed

[proud gorge]

oh wait nvm yeah I misread it

I was applying it backwards in my head

as "only prefixes can be changed"

[cobalt blade]

lmao

[proud gorge]

but yeah, for now, I'll probably just find some temporary solution to chaos res, until I feel secure enough monetarily to attempt that craft

I did just spend an awful lot of my saved up currency getting this build to maps

the solution is probably going to be replacing one of my mageblood flasks with an amethyst flask

oh huh, so the Hive Colony is level 83 even if you use it in a tier 1 map

good to know

[tranquil sedge]

exalted? aug life bro with purple prices is viable too imo

or if the suffixes are cheap enough to re-obtain then even just reforging life

[tranquil sedge]

whats ur craft budget and what other mods do you want 😮

[nocturne saddle]

dude the tree HAS to be nerfed...

this is crazy

[tranquil sedge]

it won't be till 3.28 xd

that ship sailed ages ago

just enjoy the time u got left with it now

[proud gorge]

honestly right now my craft budget is "hopefully less than 100c" and what other mods I want is "an open prefix I guess" and "basically just life and chaos res"

[nocturne saddle]

the easyness of this makes the game feel abandoned kinda...

[tranquil sedge]

but yea one standard ring craft approach is

• essence for one suffix until you hit a second suffix
• annul third suffix if any, then lock suffix (bench) reforge chaos for chaos res (6 tiers equal weight so 1/6 to hit t1)
• then do prefixes

[tranquil sedge]

yes.

[cobalt blade]

ye auging life is also viable tho recrafting suff each time isnt

[tranquil sedge]

but also the game feels abandoned because it was abandoned xd

[tranquil sedge]

just depends on avg cost and willingness to tolerate failed annul if necessary

and also what prefixes ur going for ig

[nocturne saddle]

part of me wishes they allowed private servers for specific leagues...

[cobalt blade]

oh also if your other suffix is cast speed reforge caster is a 1/3 to hit t1 cast speed

[tranquil sedge]

yea that's just a very basic example

[cobalt blade]

yee

[nocturne saddle]

without the 1000 league mechanics

[tranquil sedge]

lotta ways to change it up

[nocturne saddle]

just private stuff with specific league machanics people want

bro what... ok this HAS to be an oversight.

how you gonna let me craft uniques?!

the entire point is that they are super hard to get!

Q_Q

[tranquil sedge]

relative rarity of uniques is the balancing factor

yes there could have been better ways to make foulborn uniques

unfortunately we're stuck with this

whatever ur saying about it being op is true but we can't do anything about it xd

[proud gorge]

uniques do get a lore more common the later into the game you get

[tranquil sedge]

just pretend ssf players got an overpowered league for a change or something

[split maple]

hmm

[cobalt blade]

it still follows unique weightings so its not that large of an increase in unique amounts

just means you dont need to do a unique farm specifically in ssf

still gonna get mostly t5/t4 shitters

[tranquil sedge]

that first node is ew

but the other 2 nb

[nocturne saddle]

I look so fucking stupid xD

[split maple]

it got lucky tho

[nocturne saddle]

buucketheeaaddd

[split maple]

like t3-t2 stuff is pretty easy

and i think its first time i almost completed unique jewel collection

[cobalt blade]

true but it is still mostly shitters

[proud gorge]

hmm, turns out trying to take on a level 83 Pinnacle boss at level 70 fresh off of maps is pretty difficult

[split maple]

I got same amount of t0s from tree and from wretched so Ig it's not so overpowered again

[gaunt swift]

Genesis tree has been disgustingly good for me, a casual ssf player

I think all of my gear has come from it

[tranquil sedge]

yup
double-edged sword

the more good something is for casuals in this game, ironically, the faster a league dies out overall
tree didn't find a good balance

[split maple]

For lategame it's kinda op for printing certain rare mods (getting t1 spell dmg per 10 wombs is kinda ridiculus) + easy access to overquals is Just ridiculus

Funny thing how disgusting it is Both early and lategame

[tranquil sedge]

to all u folks as people who have actually played this league

what changes do you think woulda made the tree a little more 'balanced'

im curious

beyond just 'drop less stuff' i mean coz that hammer works on everything

[proud gorge]

I mean, I think the tree is fine as far as pumping out low level gear is concerned

[cobalt blade]

vaaling all the gear technically makes it balanced

[proud gorge]

the main issue is it pumping out such good gear that there's no point in ground loot at all

[split maple]

Remove ancients (or nerf it to have unlucky roll), provisionings change to be more like rog (no +mod weights nodes, make it instead random tier upgrades - but then buff rog so expedition still usable), currency ones feel allright, grafts are going anyways, mysterious feel allright

And remove overquals and fractures

[cobalt blade]

otherwise i think giving it more friction on the gear crafting less manipulateable no fractures etc

[gaunt swift]

I think all of the small nodes that increase likelihood of getting high tier mods are too good

[split maple]

Pretty much the only thing I want tree to stay for is access to unique jewels

These are too rare usually for no good reason imo

Better solution would be to change them to t3 but I don't think thats gonna happen

[proud gorge]

hmm, I'm trying to fight the Breachlords despite being massively underlevelled, and most of their attacks are very dodgeable, but there's this one attack of Tul's that I cannot figure out how to avoid, since it appears to just hit the entire arena

[split maple]

The rain or the shield burst?

If the first stand still, if the second go behind his ass

[proud gorge]

the one where they sort of jump in and slam their shield down on the ground

which appears to hit me regardless of where I'm standing

and unfortunately the wiki has basically no information on these bosses and their movesets

[nocturne saddle]

dude where are the freaking golden pages

I been this entire place

[split maple]

Did you go to archive or are you still in ljbrary?

[proud gorge]

downstairs

[split maple]

There is some candlestick you click and it opens door to archive area

[nocturne saddle]

fuck

[proud gorge]

okay so turns out the issue with the boss fight is that, upon re-entering the Breachlords boss fight after dying, neither boss will actually be visually loaded

and neither will any of their visual effects

just two health bars and a shield

[gritty epoch]

You can stand still during shield burst phase too, weird hitbox

[proud gorge]

yeah, maybe I should gain a few more levels first

so that I'm at least not getting oneshot by literally everything

[lilac parcel]

if i use this and kjaalanda ring ? will i have 4 rings ? will kalandra double both rings ?

[split maple]

kalandra wont work in third ring slot

and it will only mirror the usual ring not both

[lilac parcel]

tnx

question if im on standard and focus in increase quantity items , what will it do ? what will i get more ?

[frigid wedge]

item quality increases the default base stats

on weapons u get % physical (unless harvest enchant) on gear u get % defences (unless harvest enchant) and on jewellery its modifier type specific

[lilac parcel]

quantity not quality

item quantity

[frigid wedge]

oh quantity

u drop more items

[unique silo]

cant seem to apply tatto in small node. am i missing sth?

[frigid wedge]

has to be a green tattoo

for a dex node

[crisp plinth]

red tattoo goes on red node

[unique silo]

ohh fk

[crisp plinth]

its color coded

[spare ore]

the atlas tree?

[brazen vector]

Very significant for every farm

[fickle glen]

Yeah the atlas tree

[spare ore]

yeah it is very significant game unplayable endgame without a proper tree

[pulsar dune]

You want the map tier nodes and kirac mission chance for getting started so you don't run out of maps

[spare ore]

yeah

[fickle glen]

Yikes

I’ve been just dotting in a straight line upwards every time I get a point

Are they relocatable?

[spare ore]

they are

unmaking orbs give a respec point and u can also respec with gold from kirac

[frigid wedge]

hes literally making a build i sent him :/

[undone gazelle]

they can be refunded, but if youre just starting out white maps, then this is a good start

[spare ore]

then filling the next points u get put them into the little inc map drop chance nodes and the rest of the kirac ones

is also good

[fickle glen]

Hehe why does look like it’s shrugging?

[undone gazelle]

good find, its also called the shrugging man start

how difficult is hardcore realistically

is it just a case of building defences over damage

[split maple]

to just get lvl90 for achiviement not rly at least while earthshatter is a thing

but i sure know i cannot get 2 voids currently hc 😄 my exarchs are messy on legstart

[frigid wedge]

yeah not rlly what i meant

just seems neat to try at sum pt

and face breakers are literally t4 so i can do a build thats still fun

[frigid wedge]

might do next league

def not this one tho

bc i cannot be assed to log on this league

i spent 3 hours in pob for someone else

yesterday

[pulsar dune]

Get a logout macro and it's afaik pretty doable once you learn what is and isn't dangerous

Without a logout macro good luck

[frigid wedge]

isn't there literally a key that u can press twice to logout

like f5 or smth

[pulsar dune]

It's possible

I always see HC streamers have a macro

[split maple]

macro does disconect right?

so could be faster

[spare ore]

but why would u want to press twice to logout sometimes you die so fast pressing twice might take too long

[frigid wedge]

idk

[spare ore]

awk poe trade has a logout macro in it could use that

button*

[frigid wedge]

the whole insta logout the second hp is under half thing always seems like ur just cheating

its hardcore

not reaction time simulator

i just dont see the point in doing the thing where ur meant to build to not die bc dying is failing, and then instead of accepting u didnt do enough u just macro and get out of any situation that goes bad

atp just play softcore hooked to a taser

its the same increase in heart rate

[pulsar dune]

You are not the only one with this opinion

It's a major part of why I don't play HC

[frigid wedge]

yeah

it just feels wrong

[fickle glen]

Lmao I knew people would find a way to cheese hardcore… they always do in every game

[spare ore]

cause you can still have a really tanky geared char and still die to some random bullshit

[frigid wedge]

taking dmg in sanctum is kinda diff bc if ur in a situation where about to get hit its about 0.01ms before u get hit

why would u even need a macro for sanctum

just watch out for the blade an archer guys and it's easy

Macros for that are "forbidden" either way

Also we have the pause button now so no need for a logout macro anymore

[fickle glen]

[normal hedge]

why you wouldnt want golems

[fickle glen]

I’ve played that class without golems

[silent leaf]

precisely 50% elementalist runs golems

will they nerf the ascendacy, or will they nerf the cluster

[frigid wedge]

golems are basically used because u can get a lot of inconvenient to find stats by only scaling golem buff effect

[spare ore]

[normal hedge]

i think its very well balanced for dots and theres no reason to nerf dots

[brazen vector]

@silent leaf another banger

[fickle glen]

It’s also nice having them auto summon themselves when they die

[normal swan]

They auto summon? (Golems)

[split pagoda]

should nerf the ascendancy if anything imo

[fickle glen]

Yes if they die

[normal hedge]

if it wasnt automatic no one would play it, it takes forever to summon them when you remove the gems

[frigid wedge]

elementalist respawns rhe golems after 4 sec

[normal swan]

Oh. Yeah. See, that's why I didn't want to run golems

But if they auto summon....

and golems are what make elementalist builds easy on budget

[undone gazelle]

if its lightning based, arc or lightning conduit

[spare ore]

https://tenor.com/view/power-starwars-unlimited-power-gif-15939349

[normal swan]

THAT IS WHAT I WANT

[frigid wedge]

have u tried lightning tendrils

its considered the Palpatine skill

[normal swan]

But I don't mind reworking my build a bit. I just don't play as much as I need to to really get a good amount of currency.

[normal hedge]

ball lightning login

[normal swan]

I've seen some tendrils mentions, you think I should give it a try?

[frigid wedge]

if u want palpatine

absolutely

[normal swan]

hue

[tranquil sedge]

what do you consider 'good' amount of currency

if ur in like red maps you can make a few div/hr doing literally anything basically

[frigid wedge]

idk if id say its good but it is very palpatiny

[spare ore]

that was my first ever build

[normal swan]

At level 50 something I have 1 div given to me by a pal. And maybe 4 chaos

[normal hedge]

i've played ball lightning for a few days then a friend told me about ice nova

and it was pretty the same in terms of gear

[frigid wedge]

arc ignite if u want good and smth u def like
lighting tendrils if u want to be palpatine

[tranquil sedge]

okay for what its worth most ppl treat the campaign as a tutorial
and campaign is not balanced around requiring trade

[normal swan]

I am but a baby. I just got to part 2 returned to lioneye watch*

[tranquil sedge]

so counting your currency in campaign is basically meaningless, don't stress over that

[normal hedge]

what does that ✅ means? it can support the skill?

[tranquil sedge]

literally the only goal should be 'finish campaign' first

[normal swan]

Oh. Ok

That's comforting

[tranquil sedge]

gear in campaign is mostly from - ground loot, vendors and gold gamble vendors

[frigid wedge]

use whatever u have fun w for campaign

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-por-que-no-los-dos-yey-gif-15089379

[frigid wedge]

and once ur done come back and see what we recommend based on what u like

[normal swan]

I'd like to try both eventually

[frigid wedge]

gives u more freedom to experience before u get shoved down a build hole

which is freeing

reccomend u experiment w things that seem fun etc to you

[normal swan]

Ok send me your recs for best golem build, your rec for arc ignite, and your rec for tendril. Ping me if you like so I can find it later?

[frigid wedge]

oke

i don't think there's a tendril build at hand but i can probably make one

[brazen vector]

Omg do i level an ignite arc elementalist

Or a vaal arcer

[undone gazelle]

here's an endgame build that works for both, but for tendrils you might wanna go for the trans version Lightning Tendrils of Escalation

here you go

I fucked up my original arc from my first labyrinth visit, and turned it into the shotgun version. So I'll need to buy a new arc regardless

[frigid wedge]

there isnt strictly a best golem build tho

[frigid wedge]

Yes I think so

[frigid wedge]

yeag fair

[normal swan]

I like it but I feel like it's .... Idk. Something is off about it. Maybe just because it's different

[frigid wedge]

it splits rather than chains

[normal swan]

Yeah.

[frigid wedge]

so it doesnt travel the same way

each mob will spread the arc to multiple others

instead of 1 arc moving around

Any ways to improve my lvl 38 oni goroshi? https://pobb.in/_dZM1aeRagLk was thinking of making it a smooth way to lvl an alt act 5-10

u can equip a second set of weapons (x to swap) just for their sockets so u can put extra gems in them to level up in the background for sacrifice attempts like that next time

also you can choose to do nothing at the divine font as well, you don't have to pick one of the given options

[normal swan]

Hey so, while I'm here, being a noob, why doesn't my energy shield increase? I feel like I keep adding stuff to increase my max shield, but the line keeps getting thinner?? How do I actually increase it?

[tranquil sedge]

line keeps getting thinner
doesn't matter

only number matters

[normal swan]

So it's like giving your Pokemon xp share?

[tranquil sedge]

thickness of es line is visual to represent broadly if ur life based, energy shield based or hybrid

I'm playing ssf and need to annoint my amulet. do i need to invest heavily into a blight atlas tree or can i track down an opalescent oil some other (easier) way?

[tranquil sedge]

(in trade) i remember getting oils mainly from blight and expedition chests in logbooks

[vast abyss]

oh expedition can drop them? thats awesome. i already have an expedition tree!

[tranquil sedge]

its been a while but i think haggling at tujen can also give oils? i am not 100% sure

[tranquil sedge]

logbooks mainly because they have lots of chests in them and there are oil chests too

[vast abyss]

ok cool i appreciate the info!

[tranquil sedge]

oils can also be upgraded 3:1 so between that and the chests its possible i suppose

but blight is probably the fastest way to do it i guess?

not ssf player i dunno how long it takes to get going from 0 in a strat

[brazen vector]

thats not a wand mod

[split maple]

For opalescent I would run a ravaged or two

It's not that rare again

[somber sundial]

What situations should I consider using an utmost

[brazen vector]

when you need

• 0-30% spell supression
• 0-5% max res (5% can be 6% with quality)
• 0-40% IAS
• 0-20% ele pen

[split maple]

• to flex

[brazen vector]

and have no better amulet (simplex, focused)

[somber sundial]

I see

[somber sundial]

(I won’t have simplex)

[spare ore]

why would you need that on a wand?

[brazen vector]

make sure you dont get an "almost" utmost

[somber sundial]

Brain say make frost blades build into a lightning strike build but I keep thinking it’s a bad idea

[brazen vector]

I should gamble on utmosts

[somber sundial]

What counts as an almost utmost, like if I have 17 suppress, 4 max res, 26 IAS and 13 pen, is that an almost utmost

[brazen vector]

I think that counts, yae

[silent leaf]

true name of PoB is

Petrified oBlod

[normal swan]

Is this one best for golems? Or only because I mentioned wanting to try tendrils?

[undone gazelle]

yeah but you most likely wanna scale hit chance with kf and calculate the optimal attack speed

[undone gazelle]

latter, you use golem as your pets that give you buffs

[normal swan]

You're making me like golems

[ocean field]

why tho

better to hit 100%

[proud gorge]

hmm, you know, I'm discovering one hole in this LC build

that being that this is a squishy but very high damage spell build that can't really offscreen

[split maple]

from what i see most folks use inteligence is added to acuracy accuracy/wand mastery and it handles it alright. strstackers use warlord helmet to handle it via strength. others mainly are elementalist so ice golem carries accuracy

[proud gorge]

since you need to be able to shock enemies to kill them, meaning Orb of Storm has to get to them

[split maple]

rly not needed to get hits cannot be evaded

[proud gorge]

but your Orb of Storm cast distance is pretty short

[undone gazelle]

already hit 100% with just acc mastery and the wand wheel, you could get precision but i never used it, the only issue mobs is with high block chance but that can be fixed with the monster cannot block your attack mastery

[normal swan]

I think I should focus on just golems for now, what build do you guys like for golems & elementalist?

[ocean field]

the issue is map mods

I want to be immune to less accuracy mods

[split maple]

issue is exactly one mod

less accuracy

and the solution is guess what

more accuracy

[ocean field]

not to mention I will run ultimatium

sometimes

[split maple]

you wont run ultimatum on that build lol

[spare ore]

because you have to give up a prefix on your wand which is damage loss, and also the crit attribute hybrid crafted mod helps reaching crit cap too

[ocean field]

even on trickster?

[split maple]

its beyond me why anyone would want to ulti on non-cws build

[proud gorge]

Depends, do you want to play Golementalist, aka elementalist using golems as a whole bunch of free stats, or Golem Elementalist, aka elementalist actually running golems as their primary minion damage source

[undone gazelle]

with the ascendancy node and golem commander node, you get 4 golem slots, the pobs above should give you some hint as to what ro run

[split maple]

and if you doing trickster kfusilade you proly intstacking right?

so int going to accuracy mastery should handle it

[ocean field]

cause I want

[proud gorge]

for the first, there's a lot of options, pretty much anything that scales well off AoE and Damage

[spare ore]

yeah no point running ulti if ur not a cws build ur gains will be so trash might as well do something else

[proud gorge]

for the second, there's some fun options, personally I like the fire golem Balls build

Carrion Golem is usually good on low investment, but has trouble scaling super well

and of course Lightning Golem is a classic minion option

[normal swan]

Ummm I'm not sure 😅 I Am not knowledged enough to know the difference

[proud gorge]

basically, the first involves having 4 golems following you around while you cast spells at enemies yourself

the second involves you dragging a bunch of golems around and having them kill things for you

[normal swan]

How difficult is it to respec my points if needed?

[proud gorge]

honestly respeccing the passive tree is pretty easy, especially now that you can spend gold to respec

previously the need to use regrets, which had a fixed price, made respeccing costly at low level but basically free at high level

but now that we have gold respeccing, which scales to your current level, it's pretty easy at all levels

[ocean field]

I see

[split maple]

well at high lvls you dont use gold to respec but yeah poitn stands

respec is trivial

[proud gorge]

honestly the more significant "cost" if you want to change your build is the equipment cost, since that's where the majority of your actual monetary "investment" is generally going into

[normal swan]

In* the second version... Do I still get to murder things with elemental effects of I use the golems?

[proud gorge]

but usually by the time you start actually investing a lot of currency into a build, you have a pretty good idea of what build you want to invest into

[proud gorge]

so PoE is a game that rewards heavy investment into one thing, and then focusing entirely on that one thing. So as a result, while a Minion build could theoretically bring non-minion spells, the need to invest fully into either minions or spells means that typically it's much more worthwhile to invest fully into one or the other

so a minion build would end up with pretty ineffective self-cast spells, and would have those spells occupying valuable skill gem slots

while a spell build running minions would usually end up with some pretty weak and fragile minions occupying valuable gem slots

there's some exceptions, but in general, that's how build investment tends to go

[wheat sinew]

bombastic side eye

[normal swan]

Sorry I had a typo there

[split maple]

exception being elementalist due to even if you are caster kind of one golems benefit you a lot

[wheat sinew]

and then golems tend to just buff you to godhood

[split maple]

due to primordial bond clusters

[wheat sinew]

[split maple]

and due to them being kinda broken in general 😄

how you doing sokratis, long time

[wheat sinew]

heyo esm, chillin, been 100%s all fromsoft games xd and grinding nightrein

hbu

how's the poe grinding

[proud gorge]

my point is mostly that if you're running a Golem-focused minion build, you're not generally investing into spell damage. And if you're running a spell focused golementalist, you're not generally investing particularly into your golem damage.

[proud gorge]

there's some, but it's often in the Templar-ish ballpark

[normal swan]

I hate making these kind of choices. I should get golems first and see how I feel running them. It will likely be me sending the golems out to attack with fire and lightning

[proud gorge]

because yeah, Spiritual Aid is good

[proud gorge]

yeah, realistically you have plenty of time to change your mind

and they both hang around similar points on the tree and use the same ascendancy anyways

[bright viper]

I would personally say start as summoner and then if you don't like it go spellcaster

[proud gorge]

so it's a pretty easy respec

[wheat sinew]

keep in mind, most classes can be played as anything

so just try out and hf

worst case scenario you lose 2 hours of your time farming respects xd

[proud gorge]

Minion builds are very much one of those things where you just have to try it yourself and see how you feel about it

[wheat sinew]

^

[proud gorge]

they tend to be pretty divisive, with some people absolute hating the playstyle of them, and other people loving them

[wheat sinew]

and later on you will see that some minions have different playstyles (temporary vs perma)

[somber sundial]

[past mantle]

I should play 1 more, I ha e like 600d to use.

[brazen vector]

I guess 140ish

[past mantle]

I used like 100d on the build that did all content and was like okay done i guess.

[somber sundial]

Very epic

[livid quarry]

[livid quarry]

[somber sundial]

truly

[glass quarry]

Just came back after over a year away, is there a goodplace to find updated cheat sheets for league mechanics like betrayal etc?

[fickle glen]

Hey can the crafting bench modify my gear to get 6 link sockets? The regular way is not working for me and I only see 4 links available on crafting bench…

[somber sundial]

yea

you can six socket, then six link

[split maple]

yea but these recipes are in maps

while 2-4 are in campaign

[fickle glen]

Ok good I’ll start looking for them

The rng is trash

[spare ore]

kinda forgot what they did but they changed how syndicates worked

https://pathofexile.elrincondelexiliado.com/syndicate/?lang=en cheat sheet for betrayal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbfuNhSfMUU
this a vid for it after rework

[ocean field]

For a second I thought this was something else

[fickle glen]

Anyone know a good bow for explosive arrows? I don’t use totems

[limpid prairie]

doesnt that scale with gem levels ?

[hard cliff]

welcome back

[past mantle]

Yes.

[tranquil sedge]

gem levels and attack speed would be the main stats probably to start with ye

[past mantle]

Main thing you want is +3 gems, attack speed and dot multi.
Not running totems alongside explosive arrow gonna hit damage hard for single target.

[fickle glen]

I don’t like totems but what is this dot multi

[tranquil sedge]

damage over time multiplier

[limpid prairie]

So ideally synth bow +1, get AS DoT multi and multi mod the prefixes?

[tranquil sedge]

wat
why synth

u dont need synth for a gem level bow

[past mantle]

Totems double single target damage.
Dot multi is just fire damage over time multiplier as a suffix.

[fickle glen]

But my crit chance is low for ignite

[limpid prairie]

but it has 1 level of supports too
its just good thematically

[past mantle]

You don't want crit chance very high, just enough to sustain Elemental Overload.

[past mantle]

+3 is prefixes then you multimod attack speed and dot multi.

[tranquil sedge]

im guessing this is probably the best third prefix right

if you had the budget for a nice bow?

[limpid prairie]

Oh fair my build isnt using a bow skill so +2 is irrelevant

[past mantle]

Depends on item level used. If you're doing the level 50 bow then ele damage with attacks, otherwise flat fire is better at t2 and t1 iirc.

[tranquil sedge]

i see

[past mantle]

The bad days of EA elementalist are far behind us.

[tranquil sedge]

wats the craft process for this item

start on fractured third prefix?

[whole bluff]

Hmm. My latest bad ignite idea is spellslinging WoC ignite and Flame Surge of Combustion using grace of the goddess (it can prolly be beat by a sick attack wand with 60% dot multi, but Grace of the Goddess is extremely good with spellslinger, even on non-phys). Need opinions on why this won't work.

[tranquil sedge]

then facted spam for +3?

[fickle glen]

This is my current bow, it’s killing but slowly…
