but yeah, while Saturation is technically the "highest played" version of Rain of Arrows on poe.ninja, it's almost exclusively in the form of MFA utility skill
LGoH and Culling Strike and so on
kjh
which makes sense, it's what the skill is naturally good at
I just wish it could exist as a real damage skill, to shine on its own
but alas, it seems not
to be fair, Cyclone is in basically the same spot
at least Cyclone can have Woespike though
Can anyone help me fix up build? I’m really squishy and need more boss damage (I can run juiced t17s and kill Uber elder but I die a lot, and my boss damage is horrible)
#1019646743299764255 might sort you out
Neat
unfortunately Gluttonous Tide would actually be really bad for Saturation
due to it granting flat extra arrows
Pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew..
could be fun with some skill that fires in sequence with low base arrows though
Isn't it like only barrage
scourge arrow is only good use of tides ive seen
How does it work on SA?
there's lots of skills that fire arrows in sequence
sa shotguns per proj
especially if you slap Barrage support onto one
same for tornado shot
On thorn arrows or trans version?
anything u would consider spinehail on can go tides
both shotgun
but its from the thorns yes
So you add a ton of arrows to get more consistent hits with thorn arrows?
every main arrow can hit with 1 thorn arrow
or 1 per pod per main
but yes it scales w proj
But isn't pods capped to like 5?
tornado shot also gains dps per extra projectile
each arrow has individual cap
Scourge Arrow is just too good, since it has the ability to turn one extra arrow into a bunch of extra hits
my 4th this league in ssf xdd
Go to #2┃general
oh sry about that
But
Skill functions and interactions
Additional arrows (from support gems and items like Death's Harp) apply to the primary arrow, instead of the thorn arrows. Additional arrows cause spore pods to distribute evenly among each primary arrow, rather than in a line from player. Having more arrows than pods will not cause additional pods to spawn. Therefore at 5 stages Scourge Arrow will spawn 5 pods — if the player has 6 total arrows (5 additional) one of the arrows will not spawn a pod.
oh, was I lied to
has someone cooked up sometghing cool?
eh, it's just Scourge Arrow of Menace but with extra arrows
I cooked a potato once
I've been playing this weird Jiquani Triggerbots Foulborn Kitava's Thirst Saboteur build though
sa of menace is 2 pod per arrow
ive been playing this weird minecraft pack
not for me, lmao, I'm one of those guys who's stuck in the past
havent done anything w create icl
I mean, Create is a cool mod
ive played every other mod in the pack atp other than the ones that need create
ive literally maxed out a magicbane
it's just also very emblematic of the newgen of minecraft mod packs
other than the +1 max enchant level tomes
since absolutely everything uses Create, I guess in the same way that the old 1.7 modpacks all used IC2
thats part of why i hate it sm
99% of the time it doesn't even thematically make sense
it's, uh, stylish I guess
that's the justification, its machines do animation-y things
found some witch modpack with a bunch of lil magic mods and stuff and then they had create and 4 things
whereas the oldgen machines mostly just blink and make loud noises
maybe throw out some particle effects if they're feeling fancy
nah the justification is its generic, easy to add recipes to and it has so many features that theres no reason to bother w other stuff
50m shipment, nice trap
ah, that's unfortunate to hear
also it has like 500 different mods w add-ons
but like
pls find mods that actually fit ur modpack
GTNH truly is the journey of a thousand miles
I'll probably start a GTNH playthrough sometime.
which one is that?

Gregtech New Horizons
tts was funny, everything was kinda easy, except the chaos guardian, which crashed my game several times
i cant play packs that fully take themselves seriously bc then theres no stupid fun items
apparently even if you know everything going in, know all the strats, and do things very efficiently, you're still looking at a multi-month playthrough
and i love stupid fun items
I, meanwhile, am not what I could call hyper-efficient lmao
but yeah, lots of Gain X on hit things for Saturation, but basically no payoffs for those things
maybe you could do something stupid with Indigon and mana on hit?
who knows
Im in the middle of a nomifactory playthrough, fun but is often painful
i gotta say reliquary is one of my fav mods rn and its dumb
actually is there any way to get Indigon to apply to attacks anymore
since Battlemage's Cry doesn't do that anymore
apparently the only option is the Wand Mastery
so wouldn't work with bow attacks anyways
phrecia ascendancy
til apostate also includes shield as equpped armor items
well yeah, but I mean outside of Phrecia ascendancies
then no
since that kind of limits the viability of the build outside of Phrecia
which is main reason why non-kboc folks are excited for whisperer
lets you do these builds
i swear battlemage change was just done to screw over kbof
pls bring back old battlemage's cry
nah old Battlemage's Cry was good but also incredibly annoying to use
hear me out: zenith with royal burger
how was the desk
bring back the effect in a less annoying manner
i did not eat it
stick the whisperer node in a Bloodline or something
the effect used to be fine but they killed autoexert too
Or make it an aura
Ngl, the effect already exits. Indigon just isn't balanced
here's my stupid idea: A chestplate with "increases and reductions to spell damage also apply to Maximum Life at 40% of the value"
Something like this: "Battlemage's Aura(could not find a better name)", with the crown of eyes mod, and it reserves both life and mana, and levels grant it less reservation
There is a perfectly fine BMC effect helm in Crown of Eyes, I don't understand what the complaints are all about 
I just love the idea of some Indigon build fluctuating its spell damage and as a result causing wild fluctuations in maximum life
I want to see a build whose maximum life varies wildly from second to second
To use indigon or a royal burger with the accuracy mod
make it a belt 
What is the royal burger?
True, indigon should be a belt
A Royal Burgonet
tbh we need more things that scale off of weird stats, or convert strange stats into each other
With -chaos res and acc=str
Ah
where's my weapon that scales off Stun threshhold
Fair, so it's not only indigon
Then it sounds more valid to me
Indigon should maybe be nerfed though
Anyone on a mac m1 chip know what's the best option for playing?
gloves that convert excess crit chance into base lightning damage, crit chance stack
or actually probably percent lightning damage
Look at the helm on that guy
base lightning damage is probably too strong
its in ok shape outside of phrecia, especially coz after league ends there wont be anymore squaling graft and foulborn choir, so kboc will be in healthy state balance wise
geforce now was the only thing that worked for me
I really want to use something else instead of crown of eyes for zenith
Okay, thank you.
Did you try standalone?
But indigon is like such an inverse ketchup bottle that also warps meta around it
Which lightning skill has tbe coolest MTX In your opinion
spider spark
Crack cocaine lance
I need to play crack lance sometime
It's so-so
I love that answer because I have no idea what you're talking about
But cool imo
yea, but it worked pretty poorly, tho I don't remember the exact issues
Indigon is a stupid item(though it's also cool)
pork crackling lance
I want to see zenith indigon
it is an interesting kind of % payoff at least
Can it even work?
unlike the dozens of % per \d+ of stat payoffs in the game
zenith indigon should work pretty well in phrecia
Trust me u dont
Just watch a youtube video of the animation till u get bored
That gives u 100% of the upside of the skill
zenith indigon was good with old Battlemage yeah, it just couldn't reach the nonsensical screen-clearing heights of MFA battlemage
I like watching stuff like dark souls on YouTube
I might have to full lean into getting a fishing pole as priority 1 for phrecia
My condolences
Crackling Lance is, somehow, probably the best "arc"-styled skill in the game
that doesn't make it good, it just makes it better than Arc
and the other arc-likes
Tbf, my favourite is cocaine lance of disintegration
Also, IDK how they can buff self cast
I'll have to check it out I'm debating on architect of chaos vaal snap or a lightning spell for Cold conversion
Cuz it's just like 💥
just reduce mana costs by like 20%
and it will be close to sane
Whispers is a good crutch
arc of oscillating w southbound has some potential
I did play Crackling Lance traps one time, it was alright
if u use hateful accuser
i hate that whisperer builds are so reliant on the ascendancy tho bc then the event ends and its just completely unplayable
I refer to Whispers of Infinity
I think there's a bunch of cool things they could do. Like make temporal rift cost more reservation and cast your spells from the mirage
that's
Make echo never animate twice
a bit much
Cascade self cast only
Is it possible to POB for phrecia yet
if u assume no changes
I started using pob yesterday
dorta
yes, change it to 3.26 ( alternate )
Too bad that Pledge of Hands is ass
Also kinetic rain is stupid fun
if you were going to play plume of pursuit, what phrecia ascendancy would work best? It's always surfcaster IG
does this just mean play more maps
don't remind me of that xddd
yes, you will come across more objectives as you do
it will progress at certain map tiers
no don't listen to them!!!

i think this is Zana still trying to stop us from going into the atlas
what will be your first farm when you get to t16? cant decide between legion and boxes, ofc we have to wait for patch
Heist 
no not heist
Yes heist 
anything but that
Everyone will be competing for the good idols. I will snatch revealed blueprints and sell heist uniques at premium 

Do hives if you want lootsplosion 
i would bet on deli funnily enough
you can get like 30 reward tiles
open map, shot twice or thrice to get reward metres to 15 or smh like that, end deli, leave map
like move less than 2metres per map 😄
harbinger imo
guys sorry I have a easy question but I just cannot fnd it by googling - what is the new mtx called that tracks your gold and other stats in league its a table - and how do I buy it
im trying to mess with oracle autobomber but mana flare just destroys me, i need an answer
oh no thats bad news I really wanted to have it thanks for answer
this guy I'm pretty sure is trolling you
I think there's some kinda table that you can buy
oh, apparently they're right
"Apparently in the announcement it clearly states all the drops from Keepers launch will be available for purchase at a later date."
just gotta be patient I guess
you're welcome
Chan dead already. Is league dead? 
Been dead
Gotta wait for phrecia 3
phrecia league news = +1k players than the day before
How the fuck is keepers beating mercs 😄
but okay not the worst league retention wise anymore
keepers was 8.6k on day 78
Merc did suck for longevity due to the Merc limit
merc had 10.4k on day 78 to 8.6k on day 79 
this
i can believe 1k jump is mostly due to folks doing legstart practice runs
somehow enough to jump over mercs in numbers
man if i have to run lighthouse one more time i will go crazy
tho i prolly "ran" more coves this league than i did lighthouses last one 😄
abyss was really good xp in phrecia but 0 loot
Sigh, I am not gonna get over losing my offering for a whole week 😭
Got geared up and worked hard to find that offering just to lose it due to connection
Not fair! 😭
Where those notes?
Ok I can actually cheer up now because someone just sold me 2 of them
What if I disconnect again mid run tho… 🫥
varies league-on-league
t17
this time around I think zig since it drops the best frags
what frags means ?
uber frags
early league its usually fortress since easy boss
but in past leagues it was fortress even later due to barrels
outside frags, fortress because of barrels, other t17s have ~40% less loot because they dont have it
i absolutely love slayer on duelist
its a very nice early game package, for juiced builds usually he is outclassed but for start he is amazing
i need a list of them cause i wanna see the layout
of each one
o need something long and clear
like strand
Find everything related to maps here, search for maps that drop best divination cards, find map layouts and find maps you want to farm. And by the way, Scourge Arrow is the best skill.
search for "fortress map"
Silo?
fortress is the lowest mob density for t17 right? my containment are always low 30s
silo is goated
is it wrong? 
no
they want a linear layout and silo is definetly that
whats the highest mob density map t17 sanctuary ?
Every map is linear if you are efficient and know the layouts
hell naw
including abomination ?
channel 💀
taking deli fog in consideration ?
Especially abomination
unless we just talk about t17 then mayhaps
We need a t17 canyon
Channel is linear
nah, there are maps which have various divots and such
it has lots of backtracing
we need a t17 dunes
a t17 beach
Get more aoe and better clear then
Are there any support builds out there?

thats not what causes backtracking here 
Was thinking about frost based with vaal cold snap and charge sharing
like the map is just a bunch of H letters slapped together
yes, curse/aura/rarity/druggery/warcry bot
you have the classic aurabot
there's also cursebot, warcrybot
yes
Any specific ones or would you argue for team specific ones. I would prefer something rather active. Not a big fan of automatic stuff
always aura is best, others are added if your team increases
all of them but aura bots arent really common
Auras feel like such an auto farmer stuff
is it worth losing 25k evasion for 100% suppress?
aurabot doesnt kill on its own at all
Are we gonna get a patch notes/rebalancing stuff for the phrecia league btw or do I just start theorycrafting right away?
Maybe something more of a controller build then
1.4k dex magebane
we will get notes but we theorycraft already anyway
Massive slows
then cursebot
Less bot please
all supports have bot in name
if you have other defensive layers id say evasion is less effective
cuz they arent the main damage dealer, just support one dude dps
chisel, delirium orb or whatever before u corrupt it
i mean i have mom
So Im doing a scion atm. Been trying out frost nova and and vaal summon skeletons and vaal cold snap.
Guessing its pretty fringe
yeah thats not a support, just normal cold dot build
except the summon part
Im trying to lean more into the slowing aspects
except that these are done on occultist not scion
And frost bomb
For res shred
I dont need the easy mode builds
I want interactions
Play around incompetent party members etc
cold dot even done optimally is not ez mode
Positioning matters
well it matters for every build
maybe another game then
Well happy to hear
Maybe. But with the customisability Id argue its possible. Which is why im asking
what is the most okay divination card to farm
one that actualy drops time from time
one that i can actualy see?
Other party members? Those exist?
We’re 4 playing in a group
generally if you want a "support" build that also does something on its own, literally just play any build that uses same auras/curses or other buffs as the other person in party
Just preparing them for poe2
just relying on chill isnt really a support build
Exactly.
But i dont want to stat check
this whole game is one big stat check
although its true that with skill you can do stuff less geared than others
I know. But Im thinking its possible if we just try to lean into other things
although that mostly applies to bosses not regular content
I mean 99% of the playerbase want the aoe clearing of screens with a button for speed running. Id like to attempt something else
why not play poe 2 then
how to reduce cost when using coiling whisper and whispers amulet
How much hard cc is there?
poe is a numbers go up kind of game
wdym by hard cc
none
stun and freeze?
Stun!
I have. But they are waiting for it to go f2p
hard cc = 1shot everything, stuff cant do anything if theyre dead
any solutions???
So what stuns would be accessible for a support going into freeze and charge sharing?
Stun, freeze, and other forms of lowering action speed
Cost of what
You don't really double dip
Yeah i have the curse that givea -15% action speed
cost of using bladefall
stunning isnt worth shit if its not multiple seconds
personally i played a build that 22 characters in the whole league so non meta is definetly possible, but still there are some limitations how suboptimal you can go
and for it to do that you need to build around stun
ES rn is 11%
Right its pretty incompatible. But thats the fun part. And where scion comes into play
combined with other costs will ko me in 5 secs
if by fun you mean your build not doing anything and dying to mobs, sure
at this point, i can only say goodluck, dont rage quit if ur build does nothing
Your build needs to be specialized into very few things most of the time if you want it to really work
Well I do like to feel like its difficult and dangerous
But thats mostly for dps maxing
No?
support also need to specialize
No not really
Its for any kind of build in the game
If I was to try to reach for stun and perhaps dex casting
Supports are also specialized
@tranquil sedge did a buncg of t16 maps 😭
i got some from a friend and was like fuck it ill try em out
stuns REALLy are not worth it outside of some specific cases
Any tips for gearing?
You can be a curse support or a warcry support or an aurabot or a freeze support, stuff like that
Dex casting?
So when is it that u wanna go for stuns?
Trying to be multiple things often turns into your build just not working
when you're a melee build
U can turn dex into cast speed
you don't really do spells and stun at the same time
- stun does close to nothing on bosses
offtopic but thats not how version numbers work
That too unless you build really hard into stun
Which skill gems are the best for stunning then?
heavy strike
slams
but its a meme skill
boneshatter juggernaut is built around stunning
Yeah. I havent played the game for 10 years or so. Just leveled up to 35 now
Heavy strike, leap slam, stuff like that
Boneshatter too yeah
are you trying to buildcraft with little to no experience in the game?
any slam skills
tbh i was like them when i started
actually only ground slam and heavy slam
we all were
Has a whole list https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Stun
Whenever a player or monster is hit, there is a chance they will be stunned. A stun interrupts whatever that creature was doing while a brief animation is played.
i did some wonky crap and had issues as soon as i hit maps
likewise
You could way more reliably focus on cold damage to chill/freeze enemies for "hard cc" compared to stunning enemies
The only thing im missing is item knowledge
far more than that trust me
far more than that buddy
But you're asking what skills are good for stun bro
do u even have a build in mind like main skill, main mechanics?
You're missing a little more than item knowledge
my second character is a boneshatter of complex trauma jugg and my experience in the game become 100x better just following someone else's guides
i did the whole wing it and buildcraft thing on my 1st and it didn't get very far with sunder berzerker
was struggling with t4s
I dont enjoy guides. But I dont mind discussing preferences
people who play decided to play scion r either multi mirrors owner or people who dont know what to focus on
also one thing new players misunderstand about guides is that you arent exactly just doing a clone of some other person's character, you follow guidelines on whats good and not and adapt to what you can get and your personal preferences
unfortunately poe1 is one of those games where you gotta let the the 10k + hours players write the guides and follow theirs at the start
I'd recommend you go for cold damage and freezing rather than stuns
Well there are no guides for what im attempting, cause its not really what people usually are looking for
Trust me, it'll feel better to play and it'll be more fun
ive been playing this game for 9 years and im yet to make a truly my own build that is successful
Thats what im doing now
But sorta want to broaden it
well bc freezing and stunning is not a build
But it is what i want
if u're planning ur build around freeze at least do a warden
freezing is just a thing cold dmg based builds do thats it
its a part of the build not whole point of it
ok theres 2 kind of survivability in this game, either u kill everything or u tank everything, theres no in between really
COD begs to differ

Yeah they dont really work together very well by themselves already
witness my very tanky cod portal
I mean
Oh right, cold crits cant stun
What you're thinking of is a scion speccing into freeze and stun, with no critical strikes
You have zero damage, zero survivability, and you're speccing into two things which dont work well together in the first place
If you wanna bash your head against the wall with something we're recommending you don't try with in the first place, be my guest
But I wouldn't bother, because it'll just taint your experience of the game, trust me
i mean there r better way to bash ur head against the wall than this
play a bosser for mapping
what is ur character gonna be?
Why no auras
Once again, I recommend to just spec into cold damage for chilling/freezing
I wanted a utility support without auras
Playing a scion
Auras are the biggest utility and scion is the best for it in a sense
sad fact is there's not really a whole lot of utility you can actually provide outside of auras
You can also get sources of reduced movement speed like hinder or maim, temporal chains for less action speed, maybe aspect of the spider? dunno if that lowers action speed
Crit with low dmg might do
cull rarity bot is the best i can think of
What's the point in critting if you're not dealing damage
Not sure how it works with high cast speeds
Stunning
Thats not how it works
You need to deal a certain threshold of an enemies life for them to be stunned
Whenever a player or monster is hit, there is a chance they will be stunned. A stun interrupts whatever that creature was doing while a brief animation is played.
What are you gonna do if your hits just tickle them
No? Somebody said frost crits could stun
I dont plan on being hit
they can stun IF you remove their ability to freeze
We said they dont stun, not under normal conditions
Defenses i guess
Read again
Also in order to stun anyways, you still need to deal enough damage
Big bonk = me stunned
small bonk = me not stunned
i mean its impossible, i have a 99% lucky block glad with eva and i still get hit
Yeah dont want that
I guess you could do something ranged
spell cant(usually) stun
Close enough
It should work if what you're trying to do is slow enemies down
Why not go temp chain blasphemy and scale temp chain
You're not gonna be able to do it very reliably because the concept itself doesn't work very well, but thats what I'd do if I were you
He's already using temp chains
i already told them about cursebot
poe is all abt commitment, so commit to smt
blasphemy turns it into an aura
temp chains is a curse

I will commit to toolboxing
moreso that you don't have to go from 0.9 to 1.0, they can absolutely get to like 0.15 or something and means something quite different from normal decimal numbers
Which is far superior
hence why current league is 3.27 for example
mana reservation
They dont have other auras
impresence
You lose an amulet slot for that
Also you're thinking of solstice vigil
also bears mentioning that most scary enemies generally still move about while frozen
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/List_of_monsters_that_cannot_be_fully_slowed
Well I just got home. Will give it a run for the money. Thanks
fun fact, stun and freeze dont always work bc of the mod "monster cant be fully slowed"
holy christ bros im suffering from no currency tab
when does next league start?
im praying that the league packs are better than this garbage so i can buy dat shit
3.28 early march
the phrecia rerun starts in about a week
and lasts for about 3 weeks
You know what phrecia is?
impresence has free frostbite, which is 25% freeze chance
wdym
leagues have nothing to do with stash tab sales
stash tabs always go on sale from time to time
seperated league
Every two weeks normally
no but i figured that if i spend money on this game im gonna get some decent outfits and the tabs themselves
Well that'll be in early march
unfortunate value for money comes from the league packs and i really dislike the current ones
for 3.28
You could get the first blood pack
gives you like 200 points for 20 bucks and like, 6 stash tabs or something? and a couple effects
Oh no my bad
one additional stash tab
it's not a bad deal but i figured that if i buy a supporter pack i would get a fair bit more points to spend on mtx
😔
https://pobb.in/5Wd5zg72p5Sy is there any cheap upgrade i can get with this?
ideally improve the phys max hit
anyone knows how to reduce the cost of bladefall of trathus when using energy shield or ways to mitigate it
endu charges every x seconds on the body armor implicit and getting the charge mastery for more duration?
I guess
i mean thats 5 points abit too hard
Yeahhhh
EB and bladefall of trarthus kinda go hand in hand
its the easiest way to sustain it
but if you have MoM as well you need leech or ES on hit
you can do inner conviction
wait that's not the one i meant , its power charge
power of purpose
to make the cost a lot lower
and then have sources of flat regen
https://pobb.in/uusk-tSKpO4J BS or nah
It's overlaps * ballista count
obviously each of balistas hits very large enemy 5x 
but yea 5 would be reasonable if krain looked like in preleague reveal
Ah
but it was prenerfed so kinda 2-3 maybe
I fogor its kinetic rain of impact
Ty, so legit POB
its still bullshit that kr got a Trans gem before it even dropped
not as hard as it sounds like right 😛
now u can farm and push ur build to wherever u like
and more importantly you can do this again on your own when next league starts, now that you've done it once
SIGNIFICANTLY easier to understand now that I've done it
But I'm clueless when it comes to crafting
No idea where to start with that either
Or what all these explicit implicit stuff means
those are just mod groups
u start by making simple things instead of buying them
u learn with time
much more chill process than trying to read a manual on crafting
i remember +3 bows introducing me to crafting
oh i need these boots hmm can i make them okay lets try
back when ea was meta starter
generally all the complex crafting stuff is about knowing how to increase changes of getting what you want the most
all the mod blocking etc
most casual gear is kind of trivial to make tho tbh
when i say casual gear
i mean things u can accomplish with simple methods
fracture + essence spam + maybe a bit of harvest or even a wild veiled chaos maybe
recomb gaming
then u can introduce eldritch crafting to the mix and now u got more fun stuff
most gear is simple to make if u just learn how to think about it
thats pretty much what people need to know when learning to craft
u dont learn to craft every single item in the game
u just learn how to approach trying to make an item
its a shame its keeper league base for the event because you can craft super good mamba weapons for very cheap since the change to resistances on weapons
but i'm not running mamba for hives
say u wanted to make this pretty nice body armor
theres 5 mods and 1 crafted mod for a total of 6
'how would i make this?'
mind implodes
the humble single socket resonator: 
i want to try energy blade abusing this time
im get what you're saying but at the same time it's not going into my head kek
its not that difficult i'll literally talk you through this one
since es gear is so ez with tree
its like
just see the steps for this item
yeah didnt end up doing an ES build but tree gaves me several T1 ES fractured gear
i know i want dex, chaos res, those 3 defence prefixes, and crafted finally that 6% mod
its nuts
well my crafted mod is a suffix
rare items can have 3 prefix 3 suffix
well if i finish one side first maybe the other is easier?
okay so lets do the side that has more first then
prefixes
i did use es on my build but only for defenses
and eblade looks damn busted
they're all also 'tagged' as 'defence'
now from experience i know that dense fossils are really good at defence mods
what if i just spam those
turns out the odds are good enough to go for it
BUT fossils reroll the entire item
so if i did suffixes first it would be pointless
so prefixes it is
but im gonna put eldritch implicits on the item anyway right
it would be that means fracture is allowed
ngl its prefixes-> suffixes most of the time
tbh dense fossil spamm is just the cheapest unless you recomb
denses 😉
why not make life easier if i could maybe LOCK one suffix in place
right from the start
i really hope they end up extending the event
@split maple @opaque sphinx https://pobb.in/BimDlj-ZGkkh fixed some of the stats like chest corrupt and the flask ele resist, changed the graft kek
thats what i did with dexterity
fracture dex, so its stuck on the item for good
now one suffix is immediately done
the event is probably going to be cooler than 3.28
then i spammed fossils for all 3 prefixes

so now 4 mods are done
finally i want chaos res, and its a classic crafting tool to just reforge chaos (harvest bench) to get chaos res
but i wanna save my prefixes
25bil done, 75 to go
so 'lock prefixes' reforge chaos, i got good odds of hitting the chaos res i want
and if i lose the odds well no big deal its an eldritch item
i can infinitely keep retrying
you missing anoint on that chest @umbral crag 
its bullshit that fireball hasnt gotten a transfig gem yet
i can't see how tbh HAHAH
so that sounds like a lot but its literally just
- fracture dex
- dense fossil spam prefix
- lock prefix reforge chaos suffix
- finish with bench mod
fireball of balling
and now that u made this one item guess what

just does what the old threshold jewel does
its the same to make a shitton of body armors
fireball of lag
increases radius as it travels
1% proj speed
what if i wanted an essence mod suffix instead of the dexterity
cool i fracture that instead
what if i wanted energy shield armor instead of evasion
like spark
same steps, new base
what if i wanted to make a HELMET with the same mods
turns out its the same process
fireball that ignores immunity frames
like
this is just a gradual application of simple steps
make one item and u feel more confident in making more
u only have a limited set of tools and u just apply them in different ways
most basic gear could literally just be fracture one mod, essence spam (second mod) until you hit a third mod or even fourth mod, then finish with a benchcraft
takes maybe 10 minutes to explain as a new player
and then it goes up from there
that makes more sense ty
most crafts end up just being this
Fireball of the Nova, making it deal less flat damage but gains way more projectiles that shoot in a nova, like spark of the nova
you identify which side to do first
and even that is kinda straightforward sometimes
like for example if you see a non-fractured essence mod? yea they started that side
or if you see a fractured essence mod? maybe they deliberately did that so they could start on the other side
just try making random gear on ur own for your own builds
and if ur too broke in game to do it that isn't a problem
just do it online for free
Craft of Exile is a crafting simulator for Path of Exile designed to compute the probabilities of obtaining specific results through different methods.
practice in the emulator there
infinite currency simulator
need to see what they change on architect , vaal skills league maybe...
i think funny thing to craft as a beginner is a +2 minion wand
theres not much to it
just four fossils and a dream
its definitely a funny item to make yea 😄
you playing phrecia?
I'm gonna play the FUCK out of phrecia
hbu
I'm debating between trade and ssf
in phrecia?
icl I might even skip it
trade
cuz got some irl stuff
unless ur an ssf junkie, if you're planning to play phrecia, just go trade
idols in ssf are aids

skipping SSF for once just because of the herald ring , i dont want to get turbo RNGed
since its short
its so short ^
herald ring felt super farmable
thats why
dope ty
we got so lucky
i love third party tools
ofc , i farmed it in SSF keepers
someone did 500 runs, they got 5 complete sets
I've farmed like...6 herald rings?
i can't tell if thats sarcasm lmao
im a eve online refugee and we loved our tools
oh
but in a 3 weeks league

definitely not sarcasm then
wtf
you could very well get trolled by rng
500 is insane lol
that explains enjoying poe then
Are one of the rings super rare?
nah
yeah tul did feel rare
its pure rng
every man needs their autism project
didnt feel like one was more rare
that PC we discussed me buying was actually funded by selling my eve account
craft of exile has 3 main sections as far as most people are concerned
- calculator to see odds of any particular crafting step/outcome
- emulator to emulate crafting for fun
- simulator to set up a crafting process and see all the outcomes and success rates
if you ask newbs in 773 chaos ring doesnt exist
I also ran breach like an insane person for my xoph jewel
Holy shit
xdddd
i stopped doing the glands after having 2 of each in case i wanted a build with them + a scourge ring so 3 of each
haha yeah you did
lmao
A lot of people wanted the ring for leveling alts in the gsf
it's a very good 42-70 ring tbf
yeah in group
in SSF i just yoinked it
yeah fair
I was farming grey wind
I wanted a perfect one
I ended up getting 2 and then irl happened and had to take a break lol
cba to run glands just for double corrupts
got abysmall RNG for the penance helm this league sadly
corrupted 2, didnt hit shit and stoped bothering
I had bonkers rng for penance helm lol
ended up making a dominating blow helm by pure rng and just decided to keep it
RMT's a no no in almost every game but don't worry i only did that because i got sick of the game and the devs screwing me over and would rather the money than logging in pissed all the time
bro did it in like 10 divines
xd
how to enter increase damage taken by enemies in pob
what the hell is a dom blow helm
in config
like +3 attack crit 25 immolate 30% more ele minion damage and +4 levels
F
i spent grant total of 5 essences on mine, but settled on t2 crit 😛
i feel less strongly about it in games where the devs let you 'officially' use real money for progress
so i don't think of doing it in games like eve or runescape the way i would consider it if someone did it in poe
I'ma have less time this league, I probably should just play trade
you can turn it elemental with the gloves
gng how to enter increase damage taken by enemies in pob in config
its just that level 25 immolate is a LOT of flat
Dual strike grey wind ignite behemoth
is it even a thing in poe?
oh well
no poe is strictly free to play
you get qol from paying though
so ig its not
@pliant hamlet join trade for phrecia for a fun short time
its debateable
also gonna look at this screenshot and cry every time
storage space is paid for but technically you can play the whole game without paying
It's a $20-$50 game with an amazing f2p trial
so i prefer thinking of it personally as free-to-try-until-you-buy
^ yea except its more like $30 to start imo
I don't really think the game is enjoyable before you pick up a $30 pack and the first blood pack
like campaign for certain requires zero commitment
tbf acts 1-10 are great
and that takes like 10-20h or more for a new player
if ur still interested in poe after that its just paying the price of the game
and if not well u didnt spend anything
@tranquil sedge
I don't think any newbie has ever beat campaign in 10h tbh lol
its a good trial
lemme check
i prefer it to warframe or destiny
It's more like 20h to 40h
im currently holding off on buying any points till next league's packs come out
sometimes more
Which blew my mind when I started seeing the newbie reddit posts. One a couple days ago was 61h in act 7 or 8
ye probably not
if they're still playing after that long with that little progress
safe bet they probably like the game lmao
haha yeah
which is funny in its own way
Tbf, I get it - I've got 80hs in grim dawn and I never got past act 1
testing shit out, modding, tweaking stuff, fucking around with friends in disco, etc
im delaying trying it until they release fangs of asterkarn
gonna play it after that
and delaying last epoch for a couple years at least
watching LE go from overwhelmingly positive to mostly negative hurts to see
and titan quest 2 is a no no until it leaves early access and even after depends on content release timeline
this should work, no?
ye its unfortunate but they kinda did it to themselves
yea that works i guess
I wonder if they have any say or it's a publisher thing or the studio's struggling or something idk
@ocean field try that
ah thanks
LFG
first time i played i reached act 5 in a week and quit cuz i couldnt progress 
yo slap a pob there
i played with an unlinked lightning tendrills
I don't remember what my first act clear was. Probably zombies
now foulborn exalt slam a t1 strength
and ur giga gaming
bet
and first time i finished campaign was on BV + cyclone (old) chieftain and i couldnt do maps
or is t1 aps required for that on that particular type of sword
real af
nah, mirror tier str stackers use synth
kekw
my first character i quit from burnout after i hit mapping because tbqh i didn't know what i was doing
ya know
true but he's in gsf so as close i suppose as reasonable
can prefix lock into speed aug no
I think I quit my first character in ruthless act 1 or merc act 2 idr
risk endurance charges that way
Influenced
nvm
wheres the believer ex slam
vision crafting or bust
-# or a veiled exalt if ur bent on gambling the +1 endurance
took me a sec to find it
this is the mirror str stacker sword
no lgoh?
oh i misread urs
ahah look at this noob he got ele damage with chaos pen and spell damage on a sword 
i dont think there was an lgoh one in 3.26
it was either this or one where the endurance charges was something else, i forget
ouch
What would a non-osin one look like
i ended up f/f gore dancer for 30% instant life leech instead
explodeys instead of fire dmg implicit would kinda slap
yep
and a couple of my jewels had 2 mana on hit i think
it wasn't a very great solution but it kinda worked
so i went with it
isn't explody phys dmg?
Explodeys would get deleted by replica alberons
yea
watcher's eye ye
And if you convert them you still have no inc
oh fuck it would yea
xddd
secondary dmg is still dmg -.-
??
lol
european
i didnt realize that
Hey sokra, How many jewels did you make again to hit the 1/3?
then why were people mirroring explode swords
osin I assume?
to compensate
but osin only converts ele damage to chaos
hmm, Not sure then
different build?
