[proud gorge]

I'm not normally a totem player, but I appreciate that they'll just kill bosses for me from anywhere

[plush gulch]

and I don't know shockwave totem stand as a build

so if you compare to the normal one

well I never played it

[tight iris]

whats the best scry right now?

[native abyss]

gull acquired

[crimson hearth]

incarnation bosses are the bane of my existence

[plush gulch]

@proud gorgeunrelated but I was helping someone with a frost bomb of instability build (aoe overlap and directed him to power charge stacking occultist for aoe) but he said 3 days ago he wanted to bring it to phrecia

now I feel bad for him

[proud gorge]

simplified because the normal build uses Astral Projector (which has less AoE and takes up a ring slot), and needs to find ways to generate charges for crit. Meanwhile Polytheist solves both those problems handily

[pulsar dune]

Probably not worth the time NGL, card farming is dead.

[plush gulch]

I don't even know something he can use or play

to be alright with frost bomb

[modern zinc]

I was messing with pob

[tight iris]

I mean it's just more munni on the side and I get a lot of quant anyway

[plush gulch]

what's dumb is you can use the runegraft no ? idk it's weird it's an ascendancy when it's a graft

[modern zinc]

I triple my DPS if I use Penance Brand of Dissipation instead of Armageddon Brand

feels bad man

[tight iris]

but maybe ur right maybe i wont bother

[proud gorge]

but yeah, it's alright, very large AoEs that target for you. The delay isn't too bad either, a bit slower than my olf FRoSS build but not that much worse than the base delay on FRoSS projectiles

[pulsar dune]

Defiled cathedral if you plan to do enough maps to drop an apothecary, otherwise any of the cards that drop divines.

[plush gulch]

I would have wanted to play scorching ray totem again but couldn't find a good ascendan

cy

so sad about it ngl

[candid yew]

How do I get multiple harbs in my map for phrecia?

[proud gorge]

the runegraft isn't very good, because one of the main advantages of Shockwave Astral Projector is that it's quite possibly the single longest range attacking skill in the game

since you can cast the totem at the edge of your range, and then it'll attack up to the edge of its range

[plush gulch]

seems crazy good

[proud gorge]

so it'll offscreen enemies from two full screens away

it's why it's used in Sanctum a lot

[plush gulch]

idols and map craft

scarab

that's about it

[proud gorge]

the runegraft requires you to inflict and then refresh the mark, thus losing the main benefit of astral projector

[plush gulch]

i had no idea

a

[proud gorge]

but yeah, very strong clear skill, arguably one of the best in the game

while also being insanely long range

[steel light]

anyway to check if ur menagerie is full before running a map?

[proud gorge]

but it's a totem build lmao

[plush gulch]

that's a good thing

totem are fun

[proud gorge]

the other downside, though minor, is that Shockwave Totems have inherent knockback

which leads to them sort of bumping enemies around a lot lmao

[plush gulch]

you should be way safer

then

[proud gorge]

yeah

plus it's usually played cold conversion

[plush gulch]

doesn'"t work on unique

[proud gorge]

so freeze happens a lot

[plush gulch]

i think so you are good for bosses

[stoic horizon]

reverse knockback memes time

[proud gorge]

lot of chill and freeze

[stoic horizon]

although i believe its not worth the glove slot

[proud gorge]

yeah the glove slot is essential

either Hrimsorrow early, or 60% phys to cold conversion gloves late

[plush gulch]

im not sure, I thought you could check wherever you are but I forgot how

[pulsar dune]

I want to play a proper knock back build sometime

[stoic horizon]

damn the skitterbots belt is 400c

[pulsar dune]

IDK what would be good tho

[plush gulch]

and I wonder if im inventing things

I think playing a stun build

should be good

you cyclone stun everything that doesn't die

you should be immortal

[proud gorge]

enemy stunning is one of those things that I feel like sees very little interaction/interactivity to it

[surreal musk]

until you encounter a ranged enemy, or monsters action speed cant be lowered map mod, or monsters cannot be stunned map mod , etc

[proud gorge]

it barely exists outside of Endurance Charge on Stun

[plush gulch]

Oh annoying

[proud gorge]

which may as well read "endurance charge on hit sometimes randomly while mapping"

[plush gulch]

The other funny idea I had is pure avoidance wildspeaker. Elusive block 95 évasion acrobatic and then some chance to dmg from all hits with aspect of the cat and one item

You can even get 20% avoid proj on pantheon

[proud gorge]

yeah, that was played a lot last Phrecia

[plush gulch]

Oh really

[proud gorge]

created some of the highest eHP 3k life builds I've ever seen

[pulsar dune]

Stuns are not action speed slows, so that mod doesn't matter

[plush gulch]

Im not smart then

[proud gorge]

lmao

[pulsar dune]

Boneshatter relied a lot on stun from leap slam and boneshatter IIRC

[plush gulch]

Obviously you die from time to time but who doesn't die from time to time

[pulsar dune]

Defensively and ofc offensively

[astral shadow]

I have 1.3m ehp build with normal ascendancies with basically infinite regen

[proud gorge]

I'm surprised to see a lack of 200m eHP Wildspeakers at the top of the eHP ladder

[plush gulch]

Are they using svalin?

[sour wadi]

holy shit whoever designed the arena map should not be allowed to touch maps

[proud gorge]

did they change something about eHP calculations since last time? Or do people just not have the items yet

[sour wadi]

ever again

[plush gulch]

If not I have seen a Shield with 20% avoidance

[pulsar dune]

I think ninja turned off recovery on block and such from ehp

[proud gorge]

yeah but even then the builds were usually just running massive dodge, spell dodge, block, and spell block numbers

[astral shadow]

Try "avoid" the ground dots or simply dots

[proud gorge]

I think often with Svalinn yeah

so it's probably just a case of people not having the items just yet

[honest sigil]

why the fuck my character got so big

[sour wadi]

eat a salad chunky

[hard cliff]

https://i.imgur.com/VyOIHQR.png

Accidently buffing the hell out of my Grace

[plush gulch]

Overleech, Ci avoid bleed and corrupted blood, immune to burn ground znd the rest you are cooked

[hard cliff]

cheeeese salad hehehehe

[sour wadi]

[proud gorge]

in practice, though, the best versions of these Wildspeaker builds did actually have halfway decent hp. Like, not amazing, but enough to usually survive one hit

[plush gulch]

Btw we can do the same on assassin

[sour wadi]

this is all defense league

big D

[plush gulch]

Fun ascendancy

[sour wadi]

let ascendancy carry your dam

[proud gorge]

it's only truly the dumbest versions of that build that were running like 2k hp

[astral shadow]

Try afk sirus or simulacrum/ultimatum with those xD

[proud gorge]

and blowing up instantly if a single hit got through their avoidance layers

[plush gulch]

Yeah thanksfully its not difficult to not do those

[sour wadi]

can have no gaps in yo buiild

phrecia is ruff

wild wild west out here

[plush gulch]

Sirus you call a friend

For atlas

[sour wadi]

siwus pwease

for the atwas

[astral shadow]

Stacking all kind of avoid block still worse than a lucky block gladiator

[sour wadi]

owiath? owiath i will buwn the the gwound. pewhaps the suffewing of my fewwow citizens wiww finawwy stiw someting

[plush gulch]

Maybe

[thin leaf]

Can uber hillock spawn lvl 1 or do you need lvl 7.
Can being a very strong word here.

[astral shadow]

Just pay 10 mirrors for forbidden flame flesh and get lucky block

[plush gulch]

In my childhood game an entire race talk like this

[sour wadi]

lvl 6 innit?

[stoic horizon]

[heavy rivet]

whats a good build for 50d?

[sour wadi]

[plush gulch]

Siphonning trap

Bog shaman

[sour wadi]

probably pbod or something lol

[thin leaf]

is that where it's possible or recommended lvl

[stoic horizon]

big shaman

[sour wadi]

good question

sorry i dont actually know

but i remember the number 6

[plush gulch]

Joke aside you should give more précision to what you like

So many builds

[astral shadow]

Shockwave totem

[plush gulch]

On 50div you can probably clear the game with hundreds of build

[stoic horizon]

i remember uhillock spawned as first hillock in one of ggg showcases in the past, idk if they changed it since then

[heavy rivet]

i just idk want something fun, was gonna go cws but that just isnt fun

i want something like fairly tanky {not dying all the time} with crazy clear and decent ish bossing dps

[plush gulch]

Fun is quite subjective per exemple do you like totem ? Some people hate it some love it

I think anything ancestral commander should be safe

[hard cliff]

I do not agree

[bold scarab]

i think it can spawn at lvl 1 ... but its usually gonna spawn between like 4 and 7

[plush gulch]

Saw some paladin cyclone build

Very solid pob

I think

[stoic horizon]

cyclone eww

[plush gulch]

I use scorching ray totem and its m'y favorite ability in the game. I think nobody would like it beside a few person

[spice pecan]

scorching ray totems are sick

super good boss killer

[plush gulch]

You're a good guy

[astral shadow]

Explosive arrow ballistas also fun

[plush gulch]

Do u know that

[spice pecan]

EA ballistas also take 3 months to deal damage tho

[plush gulch]

But when everyone is playing lightning strike and now smite I dont think they would like it

Not meta enough

[spice pecan]

well a lot of ppl dont like totems anyways

[plush gulch]

Bad people

[astral shadow]

Its fine for t16

[stoic horizon]

totems good

[plush gulch]

I love traps also

[fierce rock]

hey did they nerf that one idol yet?

[stoic horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/james-doakes-james-doakes-doakes-meme-doakes-suspicious-gif-7434634924845802139

[stoic horizon]

yes

[plush gulch]

I commit to it

[fierce rock]

already? lol

[sour wadi]

already

[stoic horizon]

its monday for them now so expected

[astral shadow]

Farm enraged 6 risk scarab uber maven with ice trap assassin

[sour wadi]

im swapping to pbod herald

[plush gulch]

Why not lets go

[sour wadi]

cannot stand hoag ai

[plush gulch]

You go pure avoidance

You just need to scale enough dmg

Should be easy on assassin

[fierce rock]

welp, since that's gone what else is good for a kboc character to farm?

[stoic horizon]

why take evasion, just dodge manually

[plush gulch]

But there are 500 mob on the screen

[stoic horizon]

skill issue

[thin leaf]

The 100 billion projectiles coming from all angles.

[plush gulch]

Sir a second fireball has hit the player

[stoic horizon]

these mfin fireballs shotgun so much

[plush gulch]

Yeah

Whats worse

Is just simple auto attack

Lol

[stoic horizon]

conversion trap

[plush gulch]

Idk how this work

But it can be very cool

[stoic horizon]

make a conversion trap build then

[plush gulch]

I really dont know

You need a 6 link ?

Minion dmg ?

[blissful garnet]

when do i unlock conq idol gamba

[heavy rivet]

honestly main thing i want is just like a fairly tanky map blaster than has okish dps for bossing

[plush gulch]

Do you like cyclone

[heavy rivet]

i dont mind it tbh but thats not really a map blaster from what i remember

[stoic horizon]

yeah cyclone isnt a map blaster

[plush gulch]

Idk what a map blaster is

[short prairie]

div dropped from tree

[stoic horizon]

kboc is a great map blaster snd you have the budget to make it servicable

[plush gulch]

I thought cyclone was clearing fast

[short prairie]

me only at level 50

[spice pecan]

something that clears maps very quickly but generally struggles at bosses

[stoic horizon]

you are gimped by you being slow while cycloning

[heavy rivet]

wdym servicable

[stoic horizon]

not feel bad

[plush gulch]

The money to fix the issue

You have

Which are

[stoic horizon]

ey i had that too with ilvl 44 gift

[plush gulch]

No idea

[heavy rivet]

[short prairie]

[heavy rivet]

wait wrong one

[short prairie]

[plush gulch]

[stoic horizon]

[short prairie]

whys your pfp warframe related

[heavy rivet]

warframe

[plush gulch]

Who has not taste in video game here

Im joking my little brother loves it

[west fog]

Hey guys, is there someone experienced that I can DM regarding a question on Path of building?

[plush gulch]

I dont

[spice pecan]

just ask in here

[west fog]

Well more specifically a question comparing 2 items

[plush gulch]

Do it here its fine

But we take cash only

[west fog]

I am new to the game and following Pohx's RF guide. Someone suggested that I buy a Nebula with 9% increased damage per 1% ele res above 75%. I bought it but I feel like my DPS dropped compared to my old void sceptre

PoB also shows less DPS

[stoic horizon]

then it is less dps

[west fog]

I'm not sure if I am checking the PoB incorrectly

[spice pecan]

your void sceptre must be quite good then

[stoic horizon]

nebula really needs you to have bunch of increases to max res and also is dependent on the implicits

[plush gulch]

The question is he doesn't understand why or if he did something wrong

[west fog]

My fire/cold/lightning are all 90%

[stoic horizon]

ok then yeah your sceptre must be quite good

[plush gulch]

Show your old scepter

You wont get banned

Promise

[heavy rivet]

u will

[plush gulch]

Put back your pants after

[west fog]

This is the sceptre I used before

[plush gulch]

Though

No way nebula beat this imo

You are not doing anything wrong

[west fog]

Using this now

[plush gulch]

Switch back

[stoic horizon]

the implicits are terrible for you

[plush gulch]

To scepter

[stoic horizon]

so yeah it is worse

[heavy rivet]

how much did you buy this for ;o

[stoic horizon]

it would need some good implicits to be competetive

[plush gulch]

And even then im not sure

Tbh

[stoic horizon]

yea

[west fog]

I think it was for 2 divines if I remember correctly

[plush gulch]

You have the perfect scepter

Just change back to it

[stoic horizon]

its not perfect

[west fog]

The guy let me have it for 1 less than what he was trying to sell it for

[stoic horizon]

but its good

[plush gulch]

You cant get much better unless for way way higher investment

[stoic horizon]

prob cuz it wasnt selling with the implicits like this

[plush gulch]

Try to sell it back now

It happens we all made plenty of mistakes

[native abyss]

[stoic horizon]

0 mirror go back to work

[hard cliff]

Dude I am broke

😩

[stoic horizon]

hi broke

[hard cliff]

Hi Zemor

[stoic horizon]

im broke too

got some nice upgrades tho

my es went from 3k to 4k

[plush gulch]

I played 3 maps and was like my build doesn't work

Then I stopped

Also im sick

[hushed dirge]

idols ruining phrecia event once again

[plush gulch]

So im ultra broke

[stoic horizon]

im more broke than i was in campaign

[plush gulch]

I have 15chaos

[stoic horizon]

i have 8

[placid inlet]

i havent even started the event yet

considering if i should, or not

[stoic horizon]

doot

[plush gulch]

Rage baiting?

[placid inlet]

not sure about what build to pick,tho

[hard cliff]

It's a good event

Divine Smite Paladin

gigachad build

[stoic horizon]

nah people are mad about ggg oversights again

[placid inlet]

in last league i did ranged animate weapon of poison,that was.. almost too strong

[hard cliff]

I have 8 chaos

[plush gulch]

Divine paladin of mitten

[hard cliff]

I have 3.2k life and 1.2k energy shield but no ES leech so does it even matter

I guess I have ghost shrouds

[placid inlet]

was considering falling for the bait and go something like int stacking aristocrat with mamba

[plush gulch]

Why did you ghost Shroud ? He is a good guy

[native abyss]

my build is pretty bad too 🔥

[stoic horizon]

i rely on leech too and the waves in breach fortresses are annoying

cuz i have no recharge

forced to use ER cuz im mines

[native abyss]

hell yeah

[stoic horizon]

and the only source of mine leech are gloves that give life

[hushed dirge]

no, idols system sucks and makes mapping unfun in ssf

no, trading doesnt magically make a bad system good

[stoic horizon]

ah ssf

[plush gulch]

Oh poor ssf guy

[hard cliff]

https://pobb.in/kAvGjxC6YQ7v

[plush gulch]

Chaos explode

Damn

This is nice

I had no idea shield build could use this

[hard cliff]

I need to cap my friggin crit and get unholy might cluster for full phys to chaos

[plush gulch]

Op

Me I think I may quit

[hard cliff]

I need rage on hit and attack speed gloves

[plush gulch]

Not. Motivated

[hard cliff]

and action speed booots

Idiols are so complicated @plush gulch

[plush gulch]

Ill see

[hard cliff]

I miss the atlas tree

[plush gulch]

I like idol but do annoying before its set up

So*

[native abyss]

rich wtf

[plush gulch]

I think I may start a second playthrough of pillar eternity

I dropped enhance in act 7

1c ffs

[spice pecan]

level it to 3

maybe its worth more at that point

[plush gulch]

Hmm 🤔

Lost m'y will to play

For now

[steady otter]

This sceptre was good bc chieftain can easily cap all 3 res

But chieftain isn't in phrecia

Drop the unique and use ur rare sceptre

[west fog]

Is it better to use than the vengeance veawer one?

PoB reduced my DPS to 302k from 370k so I'm quite confused

[modern zinc]

It's crazy to me that no one does Freezing Pulse anymore

[normal hedge]

The damage and speed buffs on Enraged Unique Monsters will be halved. Meaning the damage and speed will go from 40% -> 20%.

[modern zinc]

finally

but too late

I already quit Phrecia and I'm back on Keepers

[steady otter]

Imo, if you dont need ignite and spell lvl you can go nebulis

But the thing is all rf builds need ignite chance and spell lvl if you run firetrap

But if you are running scorching ray you can go for nebulis early on

[heavy rivet]

gotta love the fact im still looking for a damn build ;/

[finite quail]

just play whatever comes to mind bro

[steady otter]

Or just dont play at all

[heavy rivet]

if i knew wha ti wanted to play i wouldnt be asking

like idk man ij ust want a giga map blaster with ok dps {like 20mill dps~ } and good survival

tbh i wanted to play penance brand herald but when i tried it my brand was attacking really fucking slow so now im like idk tryna find a different build ig

[livid quarry]

wait for 3.28

[heavy rivet]

why would i do that?

i would like to actually play the damn game.

[strong totem]

My man

[heavy rivet]

[hard oar]

Got to endgame, where my atlas points things at D:

[silent leaf]

theres no atlas

only idols in phrecia

[hard oar]

ah, another thing to google then, fun

[modern zinc]

rings with +1 minimum endurance charges are so pog

[hard cliff]

@heavy rivet
divine smite paladin

[silent leaf]

Banner Slammer Paladin

[hard oar]

Is there any good site or something for someone that never dealt with idols?

[hard cliff]

I'm also lost af lol

[strong totem]

Idols are just atlas passives

[heavy rivet]

isnt that baldur gat

[hard oar]

Yeah but how do we get them, what do we do with them, ect

[strong totem]

Idols drop from everything. You'll mostly see them from map bosses, but I even got one from tree loot

There's a window you put them in when you click map device. They do not consume

The more you juice, the more idols you'll see

[hard oar]

oh, so it's sorta like poe2 sekhema artifacts I guess ( sorry, played poe2 more, the analogy just comes to mind)

do they stack? like, same type of idol? or each is individual?

[strong totem]

Yeah a lot like that but it makes your maps crowded fast

[slow vault]

Is Craftofexile broken or something? It's getting stuck constantly when I want to do a fossil craft computation after it's done checking all combinations. It just keeps spinning and says "Screening combinations"

[strong totem]

They stack exceptv unique ones

[clear summit]

Anyone have a list of all idols?

[spice pecan]

enrage getting cut from 40% to 20%

[hard cliff]

Yep! The damage and speed buffs on Enraged Unique Monsters will be halved. Meaning the damage and speed will go from 40% -> 20%.

Everything reddit touches gets worse

[lean urchin]

share your opninions then

Oh this is gonna be fun. First time doing phrecia, and first time endgame phrecia too. As long as I manage to get to lvl 90....

[rigid void]

I just finished a job interview. He didn't talk to me much; he said seeing me was enough, then he asked if I was computer literate, took my number, and said they would contact me if they approved me.

Will they call?

[spice pecan]

uhhh

did he ask you if you know how to set up a wardlooper

[rigid void]

No

[fickle glen]

Always show them your abs during interview

What’s the point of phrecia

[fickle glen]

No point

[lean urchin]

[rigid void]

It's a job that involves using Excel and managing reservations, and I'm good at that

The only difference is you dont get yeeted back to standard league like HC

[spice pecan]

pconc

or econc

[oblique mist]

Damn

Pconc

[silent leaf]

if its unarmed

[steady otter]

Should be Pconc

[silent leaf]

its ofc pconc

[steady otter]

Easier to use

[silent leaf]

econc got nuked

[spice pecan]

that's like one of the easiest builds to guess

[silent leaf]

^

[steady otter]

Yeah

[silent leaf]

since its also DEX gear

and not INT for Eblade

[steady otter]

That + no weapon

Most of the time it's pconc

[spice pecan]

leave hideout for a bit, relog again

it just randomly happens sometimes

[long raptor]

ok thanks

ill give it some time

[mortal veldt]

does the pob timeless jewel search not work in phrecia? nothing in coming up in my seaches

it works when i go keeper league

[spice pecan]

there's no reason it shouldn't besides if you're trying to copy trade search url and you're not getting anything to show on trade

[proud gorge]

the timeless jewel calculator webpage isn't updated for asynch, so it still defaults to "online in league"

[mortal veldt]

ah

wait it is set to insta buyout?

[proud gorge]

huh, maybe it's changed?

[spice pecan]

must not be any of those jewels up for sale then idk

[proud gorge]

but yeah, maybe that particular seed isn't available

that's only 4 seeds after all

and the league is still pretty young

[oblique mist]

Whats the best graft hand thing for Pconc

[rough tulip]

depends on what you want out of them, i would go double defensive grafts personally

[dim glen]

Even orb of storm disappeared. Everything is gone but my sanity

[sage falcon]

erm it's called a deatomization storm

[spice pecan]

at what level does awakener's desolation evolve into deatomization storm?

[proud gorge]

I'll atomize your D

[sage falcon]

awakener's desolation is the general debuff (given by the ground effect) but the things in his arenas that move around are called deatomization storms

[spice pecan]

yeah, they're pokemon

[sage falcon]

that's like saying the fire typhoon things phoenix creates are an evolution of burning ground

[spice pecan]

eh, more of an alternate form

[clear atlas]

dumb question is there a way to search total flat damage on a weapon on the trade site?
looking for something to use with battlemage

[spice pecan]

maybe search for the type of weapon and sort by dps

[proud gorge]

isn't that just "damage" under weapon filters

not dps, but "damage"

[clear atlas]

I tried that unfortunately i found is that includes attack speed which greatly affects the reslsults
and I am looking at a unqiue (rebuke of the vaal) which has an attack speed modifier

[sage falcon]

you could not: filter attack speed

[sage falcon]

oh you are just looking at rebule

[spice pecan]

i think you can specify a "NOT" stat group

and just throw attack speed in there

[clear atlas]

yep that would do thanks for the help!

[spice pecan]

oh yeah bloon got me

[fierce rock]

what's a good strat to farm for kboc? i was gonna try blight but idk if that's the best i can do

check out my build for the first boss guys, do you think I'm strong enough?

[full fossil]

@short prairie funk u bro

smh

[spice pecan]

is this a platinum nuzlocke? how do you have chimchar and turtwig

[proud gorge]

Renegade Platinum

[spice pecan]

oh right, been a while since i played renplat

[proud gorge]

you get both a starter (in 201) and one of the other two starters (in Sandgem town)

[spice pecan]

you're plenty fine

[short prairie]

[proud gorge]

yeah, I like calculating perfect lines, but unfortunately there's no good way to calculate a truly perfect line for the very first "boss" encounter of the game

so I just have to hope that Munchlax doesn't crit me 4 times in a row lmao

[spice pecan]

you can absolutely calc a perfect line, but playing around crits is necessary, but sometimes that just happens

[proud gorge]

as long as that doesn't happen, I should be good

I usually calculate crit-proof lines

[hot rain]

anyone have a fix for the DC on zone change?

[proud gorge]

but in this case I just don't have the resources for a crit-proof line

I just have to "gamble" on not getting crit four times and I should be good

[sage falcon]

l'enfant qui s'appelle "offtopic":

[proud gorge]

[spice pecan]

[short prairie]

[proud gorge]

Aw, 2 off

[hot rain]

anyone else dcing all the time on zone changes?

[spice pecan]

blessed

[proud gorge]

that reminds me, I had a great (terrible) idea for a unique item

I call it, Ancestral Elegy. A unique item that, when worn, causes the character to Void upon death, and then drops the next time a character in the same league goes to their hideout or something. And it has an activated skill that, when used, summons a spectral copy of every character voided with that particular belt.

like Vaal Summon Skeletons, but it's Vaal Summon Dead Guys

also works in Hardcore lmao

[short prairie]

you can try getting #1 in the gauntlet and then you will be able to make it yourself

[proud gorge]

sounds horrible

[short prairie]

[full fossil]

[shrewd fiber]

how well do bow builds do in ultimatum?

[hard cliff]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dexter-zesmhmdi-zesbrevv-sZEl1yTi26mJzrI4VN

[sage falcon]

doesnt seem like the kind of content bows are known for being good at

[shrewd fiber]

what would those be then

[spice pecan]

legion, breach, expedition

[sage falcon]

they move fast and have big clear

you dont need to move fast in ultimatum or have huge clear

[shrewd fiber]

i see

[drowsy eagle]

stick the bow to a ballista and it will be ultimatum build

[lilac notch]

Heya folks, what phrecia build would you say has okish clear, great tankiness and amazing dps? Scaling with more invetment ofc.

[shrewd fiber]

can bows have decent single target? are they bad at bossing then

[lilac notch]

I tried HOAG herald but only 1 minion feels terrible in closed areas AI-wise idk :I

[spice pecan]

bows have pretty bad single target generally

[hard cliff]

real

[shrewd fiber]

can you explain this if this is real advice

[gritty garnet]

that's why you need explodes

[drowsy eagle]

yes totems are good at ulti

[spice pecan]

totems can be good at it

[lilac notch]

And I can second that totems can be solid at ulti

[spice pecan]

but ulti kind of wants you to have some defenses

of which bow builds have none

[final owl]

you want big defenses for ulti

[lilac notch]

the best ultimatum build's prolly always been Cast on stunned chieftain

you just stand there and let em hit you, spells go off, you choose rewards and loot lul

[shrewd fiber]

so is ultimatium basically just a tankiness check? is that it?

[lilac notch]

Kinda? If you spec it right you can almost guarantee that you just need to survive. But you do also need solid DPS to clear the mobs otherwise it becomes too much.

But ye Ultimatum has some of the rippiest, most annoying mods in the game in it

[shrewd fiber]

do i just slot a totem gem into my slots or do i need to do a lot of tree speccing into it

[lilac notch]

so you need a build that can survive all the nonsense it can throw at you

[glacial orchid]

I have a problem.
I respecced my levelling character with gold and now I have no gold to buy my items.

Anyone know how to gold farm quick after beating act 10 and just entering maps?

[shrewd fiber]

i see

[drowsy eagle]

well you might want some totem passives, should be a few near your area

actually create a cws char to afk ulti and play bow on your second screen

[shrewd fiber]

gg

but ty

[short prairie]

HOAG already has herald in it

[drowsy eagle]

what about HOI herald

[spice pecan]

yes, the hoag ai is the biggest reason why it's frustrating

[short prairie]

HOP is better

iHop even better

[glacial orchid]

But herald is also an ascendancy

[short prairie]

Is it?

[lilac notch]

Yes, in Phrecia

it's literally called herald

[short prairie]

Sounds like a Warframe class

[stuck phoenix]

chad move: take the nameless bloodline and allocate all the passives

[short prairie]

Herald of the Arclight

[drowsy eagle]

herald stacking herald of agony herald

[short prairie]

Herald stacking herald of the herald herald

[stuck phoenix]

also ff the elementalist herald node while you're already at it

[short prairie]

H of Thunder is the worst build I’ve ever played

The talks reminded me of the experience

I got ptsd from it

[drowsy eagle]

I wish we have po2 abyss

I can blast that all day

[limpid prairie]

Maybe you should try self galvanic field to heal from the trauma

[hard cliff]

How tf do I make money

if I can only run tier 8

[modern zinc]

I don't believe in channeling builds because I don't think standing still is very efficient or wise

[final owl]

no clue. I'm running T10s or so and the only money i've made is from selling random scarabs

[fickle glen]

Anyone know what the alternate behavior of spectral helix does?

[modern zinc]

I'd rather brand or totems which is cast and run away

or just normal hit skills

[spice pecan]

spectral helix of trarthus?

[fickle glen]

Not talking about trans or Vaal

[final owl]

i should probably spend some money on getting a decent idol setup rather than random bullshit go i guess :I

[spice pecan]

the only alternate spectral helix is the trarthus one

[fickle glen]

I think it’s a console thing only

[drowsy eagle]

I got 3d from progressing to t16

[spice pecan]

does console have "always attack without moving"

becasue if not, then alt behavior is basically that

[fickle glen]

Some skills on console have an alt behavior

[final owl]

I havent seen a single raw divine or similar value drop yet, ~150k kills level 87

[spice pecan]

no idea what it is then

[final owl]

I'm used to getting a lucky tink during campaign / early maps. added difficulty + no drops has been rough

[fickle glen]

It just changes the way it’s used, like summoning skeletons alt behavior makes it summon them at your location instead of enemy

[strong totem]

from 10c to...

[fickle glen]

Idk what it does for spectral tho

[drowsy eagle]

nothing significant from tree?

[final owl]

Tree was good to me in keepers. has dropped nothing of value for me in phrecia 2.0 though

[dapper forum]

anyone else having issues when buying items? i get dc'ed any time i try to get into someones ho

[drowsy eagle]

I sold tree gears for at least 10d

[south tapir]

Wtf is the depraved trinity boss...

anyone know what the trigger is to unlock conq idol gambling?

But the boss dropped it

what the fuck

Touhou bosses aren't this insane

[hardy brook]

when is the idol recom patch comin ?

[modern zinc]

just dodge lmao

[civic charm]

I should have totally gone eb scav

[final owl]

I am mildly regretting not just going wildspeaker flicker tbh. but wispshabi KF is going ok.

[civic charm]

As I'm going up in map tiers I feel block is really useful

[modern zinc]

yeah you really gotta up on defenses this event

the enrage mechanic is a pain on map bosses tbh

[final owl]

aren't they nerfing that shortly

[spice pecan]

yes

still will be rather rough tho

[final owl]

I don't doubt that. I do be dieing.

[deep kite]

Bruv I have 3.7k life

And 60% supress

Max res

How else do I up my defense

[final owl]

block

[deep kite]

I have buckler

With 47% block

[final owl]

what build?

[opaque sphinx]

its just free real estate

[hexed mountain]

do you have heart of flame?

its kinda mandatory on nearly every build tbh

[deep kite]

Fubgooner ele hit surf caster

[final owl]

man i need to find out what the popular idol mods are

[deep kite]

No what's that

[hexed mountain]

a graft

[deep kite]

I have a damage graft

[hexed mountain]

molten xophgraft

[deep kite]

[hexed mountain]

you can have two

once you kill vruun

in early mapping

[deep kite]

I see I am still in yellow maps

[hexed mountain]

you can find him in whites

or yellow or red

[opaque sphinx]

heck dat shit

[deep kite]

Any else way for defence?

[hexed mountain]

better gear

if you're high evasion block you could even grab some ward

[opaque sphinx]

u dont even need much def in yello maps

[deep kite]

I do have 22k evasion

[opaque sphinx]

im -60 chaos
4k life
only pdr is arctic armour
have ev+press

[deep kite]

I am getting 1 shot bro in yellow map

Thatswhy I am asking

[opaque sphinx]

how much life do u have

[deep kite]

3.7k

Even have sand stance

And I avoid reflect maps

[opaque sphinx]

idk ur def not a ton dif than mine

[limpid prairie]

Is sand stance real?
PoB counts it as dmg reduction but it doesnt work againts ranged enemies does it?

[deep kite]

I attempted uber lab and izaro touched me I died

[opaque sphinx]

only using grace/arctic armour

finished uber lab no issue

[deep kite]

Your evasion is 138k mine is 22k

[opaque sphinx]

i mean sure but EV doesnt affect max hit in the slightest

if ur getting one shot that doesnt matter

[deep kite]

Hmm

Man fok this league

[opaque sphinx]

swap flesh for arctic armour

[hard oar]

I loose as much exp on boss as I gain during entire map, getting to 90 is going to be a pita.

[opaque sphinx]

get more life and some es + ghost dance

[deep kite]

Ghost dance is for es no?

[opaque sphinx]

u dont need a ton to make it good def layer

20k EV = 600 es restore on hit

are u oshabi

[deep kite]

No what's that

[final owl]

the ascendancy

[opaque sphinx]

the ascendancy

[deep kite]

I am surfcaster

I have 100 life atleast on every geat

Gear

Bro I have 2 div build rn

[opaque sphinx]

bruh not agane

[final owl]

man my build is on less than a div :I

[opaque sphinx]

same

[final owl]

i dunno what options surfcaster has for defensive mitigation tbh, my vague feeling is.. maybe not heaps

can you squeeze in endurance charges or idk.. run low life / petrified blood or something

[meager ridge]

does maps contain additional strongbox only work if we have 100% for maps to contain a strongbox? or can we completely skill the chance of containing strongbox altogether?

[deep kite]

My damage also reaches 300k btw but I can't 1 shot magic mobs

[spice pecan]

i feel like very few of the phrecia ascendancies have defensive nodes at all

outside of AC, scav, and gambler (lul), what asc actually gets a defensive node

[opaque sphinx]

then ur dmg is not 300k

[final owl]

yeah AC is the only straight forwardly tanky one i can think of

[deep kite]

But tooltip says

After all the buff

I hover over it

It's 300k

[opaque sphinx]

thats dps not dmg per hit

[deep kite]

Hmm

[opaque sphinx]

if u atk real fast, which u do cuz ur surfcaster

[final owl]

my tooltip hits around 70k max currently and I erase everything but chonky rares nearly instantly

[deep kite]

Does dps on weapon matter for ele hit

[opaque sphinx]

not rlly

u want pen, aspd, crit

[deep kite]

how

[drowsy eagle]

oshabi shrines

[deep kite]

Hmm I do have loads of atleast speed

No pen

[opaque sphinx]

https://pobb.in/hek9SEROSS25

current setup

[final owl]

to be fair, my defenses are also bad, the only reason i am surviving as well as i am is a lot of fast hits + strong instant leech

[tranquil umbra]

pro tip is to never rely on the ingame tooltip for dps

[opaque sphinx]

spent like 60c total so far and half of that was on catalyst for memes

[tranquil umbra]

the only reason why my build functions is because it's flicker strike

[opaque sphinx]

thats also with 0 shrines on

[tranquil umbra]

who needs defenses

[final owl]

i played flicker in keepers. it's nice to have defenses on flicker even on a normal league 😛

[deep kite]

Fubgooner said after I have 2 taming ring which I grinded 2nd lab 7 times btw I would have 10 mil dps

But all I see is 300k

Something is wrong

[final owl]

I had lucky block flicker in keepers. was pretty great.

[opaque sphinx]

tooltip is not ur dps

[tranquil umbra]

ofc but in phrecia the best ascendency is tied to ranger so you will have all rng defenses lol

[deep kite]

[final owl]

you're only gonna see that 10 mil in path of building, if you do see it

[tranquil umbra]

I have capped spell dodge and evade

[opaque sphinx]

also rule of thumb if ur new dont copy fubgun

[deep kite]

[tranquil umbra]

it's true

if you are new go copy pohx

rf gaming

[deep kite]

Btw

Do I have to do more labs

[tranquil umbra]

yes

[deep kite]

For grinding quality on every gem

[tranquil umbra]

oh

[deep kite]

[tranquil umbra]

there is an item for that

but lab is one way to grind quality sure

[deep kite]

The amulet right

That is expensive

[tranquil umbra]

?

[umbral crag]

Gemcutter prism

[tranquil umbra]

no it's called a gemcutter prism

[final owl]

You can just buy gemcutters

[deep kite]

Oh

[tranquil umbra]

how do you even know about ashes of the stars

[deep kite]

It was in pob

[tranquil umbra]

but not gemcutters

ah fair

[deep kite]

[final owl]

Cos they started by checking out a fubgun build :p

[hard cliff]

My replica dragonfang is being price gouged

[deep kite]

He showed up first when I typed in phrecia league starter

And he quit the game now

[final owl]

i mean fubgun is a popular builder. which is why people in the know avoid his builds. because then you're not competing with all the other people trying to get the same gear

[spice pecan]

you're saying that fub quit? lol

[tranquil umbra]

yeah he did

[spice pecan]

bruh

[opaque sphinx]

bruh wtf

[tranquil umbra]

because he just wasn't feeling it

[final owl]

dropped as soon as he hit 90

[errant flower]

prolly due to idols?

[opaque sphinx]

tbf part of the reason he quit is cuz ppl like this guy copy his builds without knowing how to play and spam question him shit

and tbf part of that is his fault cuz its not even his fuckin build

[final owl]

i doubt it's due to idols. maybe due to gauntlet+ difficulty

[opaque sphinx]

he took ruetoo's pob and went "im leaguestarting this" and made a vid on it

[modern zinc]

I don't understand why you're not allowed to reset your atlas on a new character

[opaque sphinx]

difficulty had nothing to do with it

[modern zinc]

how do you know you did a good build if you don't clear your atlas with it?

[opaque sphinx]

dude was done 2 stones with over 20d

[gritty garnet]

you get 3 tries

[final owl]

Part of the fun of Phrecia is experimenting with the alternative ascendancies, but experimenting doesn't exactly go super well with gauntlet style difficulty

[opaque sphinx]

he was duo with tyty

[modern zinc]

yeah I didn't like the new ascendancies tbh. i'm back to getting 36 challenges on keepers

[granite nexus]

people are grossly exaggerating the difficulty increase imo

[modern zinc]

it's more about the slog

really annoying to fight 30 bosses every act

[tranquil umbra]

acts being gauntlet really miffed a lot of people

which I understand

[granite nexus]

literally adds like 2 minutes to each act oh no

[tranquil umbra]

well the problem was not just the gauntlet

it's gauntlet + enrage

[errant flower]

nah it was too rough for me, I like my acts easy and not having to think

[opaque sphinx]

-> he doesnt like 3.27
->takes 30 hrs to get his desired idol setup for pog loot (his words)
->too many dumb questions about a build thats not even his
->he's liking poe2 being affliction atm
-> doesnt wanna burn out before 3.28

was his main points

[tranquil umbra]

that combo is aids

[granite nexus]

nah, people just bad and want something to blame it on

[opaque sphinx]

^

[clear garden]

Is it still possible with idols to make expeditions where the explosion kills every mob, or was that patched out last time?

[errant flower]

yea I am bad and I will still blame it on gauntlet, I think it took me 15 hours or more to finish acts

[granite nexus]

i burned out on the poe2 loot. i never want to go into temple again lol

[errant flower]

probably 100 deaths, just corpse rushed every boss

[umbral crag]

I think its just differing expectations tbh. Most people jumped it without knowing it'll be gauntlet mod on bosses

[opaque sphinx]

thats not gauntlet fault thats ur bad at starting fault

[errant flower]

But I am good if the game is easy

[opaque sphinx]

the gauntlet added 0 difficulty if u were playing a normal leaguestarter

[tranquil umbra]

I was way overleveled for acts and I still got clobbered by gauntlet when the enrage kicked in

[umbral crag]

Like difficult anot, some people just dont like to deal with it and just wanna chill and try the idol stuff only

[rose basalt]

"I'm not playing cause I don't enjoy the event" "no you're just bad lul"

[errant flower]

I usually pause before Kitava and do heist but this time it was like hitting the heist rare mobs with a wet noodle

[rose basalt]

get off the high horse lmao

[granite nexus]

i just got 4th stone and i have 41 deaths as flicker :p

[tranquil umbra]

also fym normal leaguestarter

what is normal for you

[umbral crag]

I feel like if ggg was upfront about gauntlet and everyones expectations was managed it would've been fine

[final owl]

i still feel like it's fine myself. I'm enjoying phrecia 2.0

[opaque sphinx]

2/10 for skipping the entire convo and missing the point
3/10 for the attempt

[stuck phoenix]

They... Were...

[granite nexus]

same

[modern zinc]

I don't like playing Sanctum bcz it feels like I'm playing a touhou trying to dodge everything

[errant flower]

I only read the notes like an hour before launch and learned it was gauntlet difficulty

[umbral crag]

They said additional modifiers, ig people werent expecting that to be gauntlet I think?

[stuck phoenix]

If you actually read they were very upfront about it

[umbral crag]

Indont rmb it explicitly stating it was gauntlet mod

[foggy jasper]

is anyone here doing ultimatum farm on phrecia?

[tranquil umbra]

I mean I personally did not mind the gauntlet I think it was funny at times

[stuck phoenix]

They literally said gauntlet stuff

[umbral crag]

Must have been blind then kekw

[final owl]

it is definitely harder. I usually don't have this slow a ramp into maps. but i'm playing a build i've never played before on an event league with gauntlet style added difficultyso that seems like it makes sense.

I did manage to finish acts without overleveling but just died a ton of times and took me twice as long. I just had to break on day 1 and continue the next evening. Last time I just did it in one sitting.

but I can see how people would get hard stuck on certain content if they used their autopilot for leaguestart

[granite nexus]

yeah idk what other people read but i definitely went into this with the expectation that stuff would be hard (and maven on the beach should have clued everyone into what was ahead)

[rose basalt]

nobody cares if you're l337pro at poe man, if a lot of people think it's too hard they're not enjoying it and will stop playing. Saying "you're just bad" doesn't change anything

[umbral crag]

Well i didnt have much issues except for the first few act shock but i reckon ppl would be taken off guard

[stuck phoenix]

Well, honestly I don't remember if they used the word gauntlet, but they did say they'd buff up bosses

And how else would they do that if not gauntlet

[opaque sphinx]

go back to ur hole bro ur still missing the point

[rose basalt]

nah

[stuck phoenix]

Though honestly I do think they said gauntlet
