[whole bluff]

Ngl, I wish spellslinger was on like one of the int phrecia ascendancies

Cuz DoOs strongest node is Oath of the Maji, on top of it being a ranger

[strong totem]

It kind of needs a fun way to shine as an ultimate

DoO reservation seems to make that work

[opaque sphinx]

ev node is disgusting

[whole bluff]

DoO node + whispers of infinity and leech allows you to spellslinger as much as you have sockets

[opaque sphinx]

if that was on deadeye i would click it 100% of the time without fail

[whole bluff]

It's cool

I like the 100% suppress on wildspeaker too

Some really neat things. I just think Spellslinging should be moved

[opaque sphinx]

any basic ranger can get at least 90k EV and that's 600% inc dmg which basically solves all ur inc for the build

[strong totem]

I'm imagining fractured ascendancies. Just some odd way to take phrecia nodes through odd content

[whole bluff]

Like Serveant of Arakaali: "Arcane Weave" = "Spellslinging", or Harbinger something

Or polytheist

That could use some love

[stuck phoenix]

Fracture an ascendancy notable to make it unaffected by patch notes

[strong totem]

Or when you finish uber lab, you use a fracturing orb on your character to keep one of the nodes, then reroll your asc while keeping that node

[whole bluff]

Polytheist with a Viridi node that gives "Spellslinging" tyvm

[stuck phoenix]

We already have ff jewels

[strong totem]

In addition to this we have ff jewels

[spice pecan]

can you still get uncorrupted ff jewels from keys/valdos?

[whole bluff]

I hope they buff spells other than PBoD in 3.28

[strong totem]

I don't understand how people like pbod

it's so slow

[whole bluff]

I might end up going pbod

[spice pecan]

cracked single target damage, and can get actual good clear with the right setup

[whole bluff]

Cuz I wanna play a caster

[cobalt blade]

no they drop ID'd corrupted

[strong totem]

with the right setup I can make ball lightning of orbiting clear

[spice pecan]

sure, but bloo is a melee build

and pbod is a brand

[strong totem]

I was being cheeky

[spice pecan]

yeah i figured

[strong totem]

nah, i'm just a pbod hater now

[spice pecan]

i don't think pbod was really the problem imo

[strong totem]

What did you just call me?

[finite quail]

we dont know

ggg hasnt given info on it yet

[spice pecan]

yes

[lapis dove]

can someone please sent a screenshot of what a endgame quiver for elemental hit of the spectrum is supposed to look like?

[finite quail]

You can do this easy

Go to poe.ninja, go to the builds section

Then in the top left searchbar, type in the skill, in this case elemental hit of the spectrum, then select it

Then, type in Rare Quiver, then select rare quiver

Then the ascendancy of your choice

And look through the list of characters to see their quivers

[modern zinc]

are bama builds still a thing?

[opaque sphinx]

bama ded

[modern zinc]

i CRY

[spice pecan]

i think people still play it a little bit

i've heard the nerfs weren't as catastrophic as they look

[finite quail]

Bama got nerfed

Can't remember to what extent, but it wasnt a light nerf

[spice pecan]

i think it was something like 33% damage nerf

[opaque sphinx]

it was dmg nerf and another nerf on top

[spice pecan]

because of the huge duration nerf with feeding frenzy

[opaque sphinx]

cant remember what

u can prob still play it but it does a lot less dmg, and is even more clunky

still tank af tho

[hybrid harness]

didnt they revert the dmg nerf and just kept the aids

duration or whatever

[spice pecan]

i dont remember them reverting any of the nerfs

[hybrid harness]

so u nbeed to spam

[spice pecan]

both of them have this it looks like, that's BA of bombarding

[hybrid harness]

welp

dmg change was enough

[spice pecan]

MA of prismatic

[hybrid harness]

insane -> good ❌
insane -> dead ✅

[lapis dove]

thank you👍

[granite bloom]

if i have anti corrupted blood, is it better to use above or under? phys seem better cause chaos have 75% res. but it's waisted the corrupted blood one

[finite quail]

@brazen vector

Are you in this server

[brazen vector]

yes

[finite quail]

Shakari would be better

[spice pecan]

that server is very good

[finite quail]

Okay good

[modern zinc]

how much strength I in order to become a stat stacker

500?

[split maple]

2k

[modern zinc]

bruh

[brazen vector]

its my server

[spice pecan]

I wouldn't really consider you a stat stacker until you're like at least 1k+

[split maple]

bruh it gets barely playable at these numbers

[cobalt blade]

i would still go ralakesh because bleeds suck but it depends on recovery

[finite quail]

you lied...

you're not in that server...

[cobalt blade]

its 1.5k that stat stackers become good imo

2k is decent investment

[finite quail]

[opaque sphinx]

yeah before 1500 ur kinda trolling hard

[spice pecan]

my str stacker has 2100ish str and it feels pretty good

[brazen vector]

[opaque sphinx]

str stacker is dif

[finite quail]

wtf

I couldnt ping you there

your name didnt show up

[placid ridge]

xD

[opaque sphinx]

int stack = highest
str + int 2nd highest
str 3rd
dex 4th

[past rain]

how did this dude change his ascendancy from Trickster to Jugg huhhhh

[opaque sphinx]

for biggest number

[split maple]

very simple

[past rain]

day 2 to day 3

[cobalt blade]

oh that guys on my friends list

[split maple]

use rename char function on site

[cobalt blade]

but he just renamed char

[spice pecan]

deleted the character or renamed it

and didn't log back into it for ninja to parse it maybe

[granite bloom]

yeah, that's help me alots to decide

[opaque sphinx]

do u have decent regen

[cobalt blade]

ninja just gets confused when people have the same character name

[opaque sphinx]

are u shock immune

[cobalt blade]

are you dissolution

[granite bloom]

element all immune

[opaque sphinx]

this

best

u dont need the dot ones cuz ur regen is nutty

lifestacker have bad small hit miti

this gud

[cobalt blade]

if your dissolution with poison immune IMO best pick is ralakesh to negate how badly bleeds fuck up your dissolution

if your not dissolution gruthkul

[spice pecan]

blood shield is also probably necesssary to map with disso without it feeling like shit

[granite bloom]

but 5% seem smol

[finite quail]

no problem

[cobalt blade]

its not too bad if you get immune to every dot

awful before you do that

[opaque sphinx]

5% + reduced aspd is gud

[ornate patrol]

can i get a bait check on this pob? idk what numbers to look for with spark https://pobb.in/SwBJlrzCLWsG

[cobalt blade]

this is another option if your mostly stationary

[opaque sphinx]

2.4m for a spark pob seems underinflated if anything

[past rain]

2.4m per spark hit hopefully

[cobalt blade]

its 2.4m per spark cast since its set to 1 hit 9 cast speed 260k average

seems non inflated though looks fine

[ornate patrol]

i have a leveled surfcaster i wanna swap to dis with ~30d

[cobalt blade]

proj speed is a bit low

[past rain]

why wouldnt u do EB spark

its like 10x dmg

[cobalt blade]

feels bad sub 3x proj speed imo

[ornate patrol]

EB?

[spice pecan]

energy blade

[cobalt blade]

energy blade

[past rain]

Energy Blade

[ornate patrol]

oh is that the spark meta rn?

[cobalt blade]

energy blade spark is pretty mid without inquis though

in phrecia meta is jiquanis aristocrat spark

[spice pecan]

spark is such a volatile skill that generally anything that enables it, makes it very good

[cobalt blade]

better flat and you run projspeed per dex grafts

[spice pecan]

it's one of the skills that is a nightmare for them to balance

[cobalt blade]

er per strength* or cast per dex

[cosmic raptor]

alo?

[ornate patrol]

sounds expensive

im not gonna play that much phrecia

[cobalt blade]

its not too bad

but fair enough

[spice pecan]

i just need to hit 90 and then im probably good on phrecia

[ornate patrol]

its gonna be like max 100d

[opaque sphinx]

gl with that u can afford the sceptre

maybe

[ornate patrol]

and im too lazy to level smth else so i just wanna do surfcaster if its not too bad

[cobalt blade]

yeah that surfcaster pob looks fine on paper

[modern zinc]

damn that's cool

[opaque sphinx]

not cheap tho

[cobalt blade]

just would say low proj speed gonna feel questionable

[modern zinc]

an aoe mace for strength stackers is not hard to make

[opaque sphinx]

the gloves are like 70d

80d

[cobalt blade]

uuuh click s2

your currently simming for dot multi or area per strength not both at once

[ornate patrol]

yeah im most likely not gonna go for the level of gear in the endgame preset

[opaque sphinx]

helm is like 40d

[modern zinc]

1457 tries

kill me fam

[ornate patrol]

ill just go basic double sceptre

[opaque sphinx]

idk man if u only got 30d i dont think spark is the play

[spice pecan]

that's like, only playable on str stack RF i thought

[split pagoda]

saw a pretty nice eb spark build on HC this event, on scav

[cobalt blade]

they wanted big aoe RF so i told them to look into that scion rf setup

[modern zinc]

that's exactly what i'm gonna do

gonna do it on inquisitor rf tho

[split pagoda]

was rank1 since day 2 or something and he got first lvl100

[opaque sphinx]

beast

[somber sundial]

I have made the cleave of rage build with varunastra, 65 rage, 4 attacks a second, 800k dps roughly, not fully setup

[cobalt blade]

yeah that hc dudes char looked neat

[spice pecan]

yeah, i think i see it played a lot on ascendant too

[cobalt blade]

ye ascendant is better for extra passives+pathfinder for corustcating uptime so you dont need to play balbala

and you can equip mageblood

[ornate patrol]

i think youre overestimating what content i willl do and how much i will play

i aint doing ubers or super juiced stuff

event is short

[split pagoda]

I guess foulborn ghostwrithe is pretty sick defensively

[strong totem]

Was about to ask if he used that

[split pagoda]

ye

[cobalt blade]

its insane with eblade

[strong totem]

I've got one in hcssf

[cobalt blade]

it overrides the less ES on eblade

[split pagoda]

oh lmao

[opaque sphinx]

yeh i get that, i just think spark is hard to make playable for cheap unless u go poison

[ornate patrol]

i always wanted to try spark but it seems like way too much investment needed for nice feeling proj/cast speed

[cobalt blade]

and with how eblade is coded that means you get the full 54% of your life as ES into damage

its kinda nutty

[ornate patrol]

and surfcaster self chill kinda solves that

[split pagoda]

yeah thats insane then for dmg aswell

[native abyss]

when you get home from work for the day and

[strong totem]

He's not using proj speed grafts

[cobalt blade]

because HC

they probably didnt exist

also no str since not str stacking

[ornate patrol]

what is "playable" for you though? because for some if it cant do quad ghosted feared valdos under 100d its a worthless build

like fubgooners

[cobalt blade]

the fubgooners dont do those valdos

[ornate patrol]

yeah but u know what i mean

[split maple]

they sure do talk about them though

[cobalt blade]

they farm them for us es gamers :3

[ornate patrol]

i just wanna spark with big speed

das it

[opaque sphinx]

playable to me means it can do t17s if i open my eyes

[strong totem]

I figured he'd have synth synaptics

[opaque sphinx]

i have a very low bar for playable

[strong totem]

But no

[brazen vector]

playable to me means that t17s play themselves

[ornate patrol]

so youre saying on like 50d this build wont do t17s?

[cobalt blade]

its hc and max res is actually valuable

[elfin shale]

Idk only at really absurd investment imo. High mid-end Eblade is getting like 7k ES even after the debuff, meaning you need a TON of life while not having access to The Apostate (in normal league)

[opaque sphinx]

nah in regards to spark its less about the powerlevel and more about it feeling like shit to play

[cobalt blade]

its worse than ivory yes

[elfin shale]

Granted you get Rathpith but yknow

[opaque sphinx]

u can def make spark do dmg on 30d
but to make it feel good to play, u need more imo

surfcaster def helps a ton to alleviate it tho

[elfin shale]

I mean just an ES chest

[cobalt blade]

but in the context of HC you still have your whole life pool to play with

[elfin shale]

Not even Ivory

[cobalt blade]

ontop of that half of life into damage

and es pool

like your actually quite tanky

[ornate patrol]

what else would i play doe, havent rly seen anything this event other than rue's ele hit which i got baited by

[elfin shale]

Yeah its def good i just think its kind of been hyped up too much when its just a sidegrade

The main thing is getting to abuse Rathpith with it

[cobalt blade]

its more of an early setup than a side grade imo

yeah

[split pagoda]

idk ithink it makes it from a pretty niche/high invest thing to something that to me looks very strong even without super high investment

[cobalt blade]

going CI big ES chest kinda requires atleast 2 good clusters imo

[split pagoda]

its rare you see spark builds with that dps/tankiness without super good gear

[cobalt blade]

otherwise it feels kinda ass with the sheer amount of inc damage more damage from pain attunement crit chance etc you lose

[split pagoda]

ithink u have to go back to prenerf poison spark days for that

[cobalt blade]

youd have to go back to alt quals i think

where youd get proj speed for free from blood and sand and get to focus alot more into dmg

[lapis dove]

when you guys buy gear in the trade site do you usually aim for items with linked slots or do you link them yourselves?🤔 i feel like the former is considerably cheaper

[cobalt blade]

link yourself

alot cheaper forgood items

[split maple]

depends on gear level a tad

[cobalt blade]

just basic 6 link chests with bad s tats are gonna be cheaper though than linking your self

[split maple]

like mid maps first 6l? buy some 6l crapo

going for decent shit? link it yourself

[ornate patrol]

wait where does the self chill even come from

am i blind

[opaque sphinx]

the ring

and fr trigger on sceptre

ascend reverses it

[finite quail]

Depends

[lapis dove]

what do you consider decent if i may ask? items that you will rarely if ever replace?

[finite quail]

If you're buying cheap gear, its better to buy it linked

If you're buying expensive gear, its usually cheaper to link it yourself

[lapis dove]

ah i see

[split maple]

whatever has price difference bigger than cost of linking at least 😄

[finite quail]

Items that cost multiple divines

Which cost a lot more if fully linked

[opaque sphinx]

u just gotta use common sense tbh

[cobalt blade]

triple t1 chests would be a good example

[opaque sphinx]

it costs 1-2d to link something

[finite quail]

Like for example

[cobalt blade]

usually cheaper to buy unlinked and spend a div linking

[finite quail]

6linking costs 1-2 div

if the item you're trying to buy is 5 div unlinked, and 10 div 6linked

[opaque sphinx]

if ur item is worth less than 1-2d, buy it linked

[finite quail]

You buy it unlinked then link it yourself

[ornate patrol]

the ring adds "all damage with hits can chill" and the ascendancy "all damage taken from hits can chill you"
is that not the same thing?

[split maple]

this league kinda skews perception too

since decent roll 6links are free

[opaque sphinx]

oh, guess yeah u dont even need the ring

just FR on trigger sceptre

[cobalt blade]

they are the ring is being used for more damage mult

this line inverted increases your damage self chilling

[lapis dove]

ah i actually didnt know that

changing the colors of the slots must a lot too now that i think about it

[split maple]

colors are either trivial if they semi-match attribute requires

or royal pain in the ass that usually needs breaking 6l

[cobalt blade]

one of those really niche interactions people dont seem to know lol

[split maple]

like if you need 6reds on int require item

[tranquil umbra]

incorrect it only costs 1 fusing
you just need to dedicate a shrine to chris wilson

[lapis dove]

those must cost a lot lol

[ornate patrol]

this is confusing... wouldnt it mean that im lessening my damage if i chill myself?

[cobalt blade]

no because the chill is reversed

you have -30 chill > 15% more damage

[ornate patrol]

ooooooooh

damn

reading

seems like ill have to make a mashup of both presets for gear

[cobalt blade]

smile

love off colouring with the bench craft

[ornate patrol]

cus one is kinda shoestring budget and one is mirror

[cobalt blade]

so many thousands of jewellers

[lapis dove]

oh come to think of it how do i figure out what tier the stats are? while in the game its rather obvious in the trade site its a little different🤔

[opaque sphinx]

not better to spam tailors?

oh

[cobalt blade]

8% defence tailoring

[opaque sphinx]

u didnt need 6 red

[cobalt blade]

mouse over it

[split maple]

burned 6k on 5red necro in mercs

and hybrids are easier 💀

[cobalt blade]

p2 means tier t2

p1 tier 1

[cobalt blade]

im so glad we have blanching for the first 3 white atleast now

makes it alot easier

[tranquil umbra]

wdym blanching

[cobalt blade]

omen of blanching

[tranquil umbra]

oh right

[cobalt blade]

you bench 3 sockets make your first 3 sockets white and then bench craft

[cobalt blade]

also another ex ample this random chest is t6 lightning res

[lapis dove]

im guessing that s1 is basically the same thing

[cobalt blade]

yea

[lapis dove]

thank you👍

[brazen vector]

just omen of blanching and harvest whites

[native abyss]

[brazen vector]

ranger bow O.O

[cobalt blade]

[split maple]

That minor idol surely the most profitable part of screenshot

[finite quail]

SUPERIOR SAGE GLOVES!!!!!

[finite quail]

its gonna roll chance for strongbox and arcanist strongbox chance

Surely

Also I wanna do a funny next league

Create a character to suffer as much as possible with

[native abyss]

can we create the same kind of character and see who suffers more

[finite quail]

SSF, Hardcore, Ruthless, Ultimate Ironman

[native abyss]

i withdraw

[finite quail]

No buying items from vendors

[native token]

Ssf is the best game mode by far

[finite quail]

No stash

MAXIMUM pain

[native abyss]

i dont have enough hours for that

[cobalt blade]

blue items only

[native abyss]

thats too much pain

[finite quail]

Hell I might just turn it into a youtube playlist

[cobalt blade]

alternatively unique items only since good luck getting alot of those in ruthless

[native abyss]

thoughts on the fit tho

call me ranch cuz i be dressin 🔥

[finite quail]

you look homeless

[native abyss]

rude and unprofressional

[opaque sphinx]

dex is good right cuz of wildspeaker?

[elfin shale]

Or Whisperer yeah

[finite quail]

ya

[opaque sphinx]

noice

surely

[opaque sphinx]

[finite quail]

gyattttt

[ornate patrol]

@opaque sphinx on the pob the trees for the early game and end game setups are very different, but i have the levels and money to do the endgame tree. should i just do it instead of the starter one? https://pobb.in/SwBJlrzCLWsG

id just drop the intuitive leap since im not gonna do the aura stacking

[opaque sphinx]

if u can afford most of the gear with the main stats i think u should be fine

[ornate patrol]

aight

btw nova or normal spark?

[cobalt blade]

nova is good clear

[hard cliff]

abandon ship

[opaque sphinx]

damn bruh

yeh go nova

[ornate patrol]

jesus

[hard cliff]

bruh moment

[ornate patrol]

i wouldnt abandon u tho

[cobalt blade]

yo you can make your character 100 times better now

[hard cliff]

do you wanna see a rock I bought today?

[ornate patrol]

ofc

[spice pecan]

looks like soap

[ornate patrol]

yooo wtf

what is that

[opaque sphinx]

sadly i did not drop it

just saw it linked in global and was like WTF that price

[hard cliff]

i have no idea

I went to a wizard store in the mountains

[native abyss]

bro went on a quest

[ornate patrol]

sick

[blissful zodiac]

what the hell

[cobalt blade]

ahh

[normal hedge]

even d2 is getting a new class

poe1 new class when

[spice pecan]

d2 is getting a new class? hwat

[normal hedge]

warlock

[tranquil umbra]

unc still got it?

[native abyss]

thats hard

[spice pecan]

interesting, seems like a "trust me bro" moment from what i saw on the forums

[ornate patrol]

if a large cluster has only 2 notables, do they go on the sides?

[opaque sphinx]

no

right and top

[ornate patrol]

k

[ornate patrol]

the cluster i need is 5d 💀

imma just buy a 2 notable one

[opaque sphinx]

its not like ridiculously worse, especially if ur a split pers user

actually preferred in that case

[ornate patrol]

seems fine

[cobalt blade]

its -2 points if you arent a split user though

[opaque sphinx]

yeh which sucks but overall -8% dmg isnt characterbreaking

ppl need go back to farming harbi

i miss my like 5 annul per chaos

[coral summit]

ayo, has anyone played a big big trauma stacker before

[bold scarab]

yes

[spice pecan]

i think ive seen boneshitter of complex trauma as a delve build

[bold scarab]

a long time ago

[bold scarab]

thats not big

you need default boneshatter

[coral summit]

is it worth w/ corrupted soul building up to a full 50/50 life/es ratio by swapping to an armour/es chest with shaper's touch and +1 DR per charge, or is it better to go for iron reflexes armour/evasion chest with armour applies to chaos damage to solve for things that actually kill you through regen

planning to make one in 3.28

[bold scarab]

armour evasion + iron reflexes

[coral summit]

but not sure which is actually more likely to kill you outright, bigger ele max hits or chaos damage

[bold scarab]

trauma is phys dmg

so armour goog

[normal hedge]

which one

[finite quail]

wtf

[coral summit]

worst self-damage I have while crushed as is is ~8k per hit on a 9k pool (which iirc is fine as long as you don't oneshot yourself?) with armour/es

[bold scarab]

what ascendancy?\

[coral summit]

jugg

[lapis dove]

the first two stats are technically far better than the rest right? i was checking out some of the builds

[bold scarab]

more phys mit means more recovery from that one passive

[coral summit]

the problem im trying to solve isnt self damage, it's incoming damage

[spice pecan]

its just a way to get attack speed instead of a little bit more damage

which ends up making you deal more dps overall

[coral summit]

basically trying to figure out what's more likely to actually kill said char outright through its morbillion regen either way

[cobalt blade]

If you mean +2 arrow and dex/int +2 arrow is only good if you also have goot flat on the bow

[coral summit]

that isnt things that just turn off its regen outright

[lapis dove]

ah i see i assumed they are better because bows with these two stats tend to be a lot more expensive

[bold scarab]

if you got 6 endurance charges basically nothing

[cobalt blade]

and dex/int is just an easy enough unveil to get for atk spd

[coral summit]

im not budgeting to transcendence since that costs way way more than what i'm going for

[spice pecan]

assuming you're talking about the quality becomes aspeed instead of damage mod but its just an enchant you don't really put on something if it's not already somewhat good

[lapis dove]

+2 arrow and quality does not increase-

[cobalt blade]

Quality is just 5k harvest juice

Thats cheap as hell

[coral summit]

so ele damage still kinda matters in terms of -max res/pen, but theres been more and more chaos damage as of recent in the game

[lapis dove]

ah i see

[cobalt blade]

for the most part the chaos damage is fine if your chaos res cap

would only take arm applies to chaos if your also going xibaqua

ele damage is so much more of the damage youll be taking

[coral summit]

oye, the reason im asking is cuz the chaos max hit is way way lower by comparison and nearly anything that's not a oneshot basically doesn't matter

[pseudo axle]

its so easy to defend against chaos and poison now

[coral summit]

chaos max hit is like 68k with the armour/es setup, ele max hit is about 250k with no IC

swapping over to armour/eva it goes to uh

90k chaos max hit, but down to 180k ele max hit

[cobalt blade]

yeah youll be fine with that

check like sirus meteors at 100% roll in pob thats prob the hardest chaos hit you can take

without getting into silly stuff like possessed chaos as extra feared in a valdos*

[frigid wedge]

god i forgot how much i liked my warden

[opaque sphinx]

thats good for kboc right

[spice pecan]

kboc wants dex over int no?

[cobalt blade]

yeah they want dex rn

[opaque sphinx]

fuck

[cobalt blade]

wildspeaker

dex is mana

[opaque sphinx]

im rolling it for me but hit that and was like maybe good

[spice pecan]

whisperer dex is mana

[cobalt blade]

or sorry ye whispere basically identical same class :33

[opaque sphinx]

so roll over

[lapis dove]

oh come to think of it should i aim for elemental damage first or for quality does not increase physical damage-?

[opaque sphinx]

[cobalt blade]

its the same stat

oh wait i read that as the enchant for inc ele damage lmao

[opaque sphinx]

glad we roll over

[coral summit]

without actually looking I figured that stuff like extra crits+generic damage+extra chaos mods just hit harder than that in deep deep delve (like 2k+)

[cobalt blade]

but uh flat on your bow is more important then enchant then +2 arrows(+2 arrows would be more important but its rare)

[cobalt blade]

almost all of what u take in delve is ele

but admitedly at 3-4k you could take more damage than a sirus meteor from phys as chaos gehennix

[opaque sphinx]

playable

[frigid wedge]

isnt that kinda the second best thing it could hit there

[opaque sphinx]

im not jung build

[cobalt blade]

3rd best

[frigid wedge]

bc dex is still accuracy

[cobalt blade]

+3 all att and +4 all att beat it

[frigid wedge]

so in terms of type

[cobalt blade]

it should sell though

[frigid wedge]

2nd best

[cobalt blade]

yea

[opaque sphinx]

only like 30d

wild

prob just use it

[cobalt blade]

huh surprised its not more with t1 es

[frigid wedge]

send the anull!

[cobalt blade]

fair enough

[opaque sphinx]

def thought it'd be more with the jung popularity

w/e imma use

[cobalt blade]

8/4 is also still better there but i thought it wouldve been like 50d

[frigid wedge]

ur cursor is in the way what r we looking at

[coral summit]

fair enough, and at that point 15% of like 150k armour isnt gonna save u against that

[opaque sphinx]

[modern zinc]

I have to write down what maps I think have a good layout

'cause I always keep forgetting

[opaque sphinx]

hmm

[cobalt blade]

it honestly probably would because the armour applise after your res lol

[opaque sphinx]

drop this + 2 small clusters

or

[cobalt blade]

-75% > armour applies formula isnt as shit

[opaque sphinx]

all dis nonsense

[cobalt blade]

but yknow prob dying to the phys with only 150k armour

[frigid wedge]

what the hell is that

[opaque sphinx]

pathing for split personality

[cobalt blade]

average split tree

[opaque sphinx]

the aoe actually nice on reave tho i dont wanna drop it

actually

[coral summit]

at that point yeah if IC is down it's dead either way

[opaque sphinx]

i think i can keep it

[cobalt blade]

yaaaa

[frigid wedge]

the return of the queen

[coral summit]

but considering IC has like a six second duration on this setup if gehennix isnt dead in that time something has gone wrong

[somber wagon]

Guys does anyone else suffer from insane ram usage today? My game literally keeps freezing. I didnt had this problem yesterday.

[coral summit]

i've been doing an impale setup for this build but i'm wondering unironically since lightning dots basically do not exist other than mana siphoners if unironically doryani's prototype is the move

in delve

and i already have to run an eyes of the greatwolf

[frigid wedge]

medusa said I'm meant to be her mentor bc i topped a ninja leaderboard

[coral summit]

so one with attributes+lightning damage taken as another ele would p much completely solve that

[frigid wedge]

earlier in keepers

[cobalt blade]

you have to calculate if its worth losing flat pdr/armour from chest

[coral summit]

yeah thats the problem

[cobalt blade]

since trauma

[coral summit]

cuz like

[opaque sphinx]

wait i lost int swapping to this cluster

[coral summit]

you lose both flat pdr+armour+less damage per str taken

[elfin shale]

Its never worth having projectile speed on Molten Strike right

[cobalt blade]

instinctively id say not worth?

[coral summit]

which is a triple fuck dip

[elfin shale]

I like the idea of the balls going further but it ruins the dps to my knowledge

[cobalt blade]

you want less proj speed

[frigid wedge]

u actively want to reduce it

[opaque sphinx]

how the fuck did the split tree end up being better than a 30d cluster

[coral summit]

but it'd save a bunch of points on the tree and on gearing elsewhere

because impale fucking sucks to gear for

[elfin shale]

Do they just say prayers for their clear

[coral summit]

it costs so much more shit to work with

[cobalt blade]

+50 int per split pog (if good tree)

[cobalt blade]

you just swap to ls for clear

or reave or some other non ms skill

[coral summit]

actually corrupted doryanis prototype can still get phys dr while stationary

[opaque sphinx]

this is after dropping all the extra pathing

[coral summit]

so its not that bad

[elfin shale]

Cring

[frigid wedge]

they didnt have any to begin with

[pseudo axle]

cortex fragments went up like 500% overnight wtf

or some crazy ass number

[coral summit]

and it can get reduced crits taken

[frigid wedge]

why eva

[opaque sphinx]

im oshabi

[pseudo axle]

meanwhile uber sirus fragments are 3 c each xd

[coral summit]

which is something the build i had b4 had a hard time getting

[pseudo axle]

time to go back to heists

[frigid wedge]

i mean ig

[cobalt blade]

the only other one youd do on oshabi is int es

and thats probably 10x more expensive

[coral summit]

time to do some fucking math

[opaque sphinx]

maybe it was better to keep that pathing

[coral summit]

:>

[opaque sphinx]

and swap the 8p with the 12p

[frigid wedge]

i do like 10h of that weekly

[opaque sphinx]

i can add another jewl now tho

[cobalt blade]

horror

[frigid wedge]

yay!

[frigid wedge]

i did this to myself

i do not enjoy it

i found my early league board topping

earlier league*

number 1 dps for orb skill
looks inside
runebinder

[opaque sphinx]

added in a LoM all att

so effectively now we have spent 35d to be = int and es to what we were before

[frigid wedge]

wouldn't brutal restraint be any good

with eva large nodes

[opaque sphinx]

might be

[cobalt blade]

its worse than a lethal pride for rage damage wise

[opaque sphinx]

ngl i haven't really pobbed a ton

i just kinda keep throwing shit on

[frigid wedge]

fair point

[opaque sphinx]

im gonna swap tincture to rage tincture

most likely

prismatic is kinda bad cuz i have so much inc dmg

and im eo so no crit

[cobalt blade]

if your not crit and you can get rage somewhere else fulgurite is i think the best tincture

shock effect+free shock chance

[opaque sphinx]

hm

would let me swap glowing sil for jolys

jolts

[frigid wedge]

ele overload so probably not crit

[cobalt blade]

ye

[opaque sphinx]

i have enough crit to apply jolts n shit butyeah wont shock

thats why i was using the replicating graft for shocked ground

[cobalt blade]

so fun fact with that

you can no longer shock with EO from crits

[opaque sphinx]

ye

[cobalt blade]

some weird undocumented change in 3.25

[opaque sphinx]

it always worked like this no?

[cobalt blade]

ye you used to still be bale to shock

[opaque sphinx]

oh

ohhhhhhhh

[cobalt blade]

they didnt count as being from a crit for say ignite damage mult etc but you could still shock

[opaque sphinx]

ah

i feel like this is just how they intended it to work and that was a bug tho tbh

[cobalt blade]

idk but it was like that for years so who knows

[frigid wedge]

[crystal aspen]

hi, is playing phrecia league worth or should i start in keeper of the flame?

[opaque sphinx]

phrecia has like 8 days left

if ur good and fast go for it

keepers has like a month left

[gentle chasm]

dont you end up in keeper anyway

[finite quail]

ends feb 19th

[cobalt blade]

keepers has about 24?25? days left

[cobalt blade]

ye but your character might be bricked

[opaque sphinx]

yeah but swapping from a phrecia build to a normal one will not be easy after

[fierce rock]

i always forget, is penance brand really good at bossing or clearing?

[crystal aspen]

so stick to keeper of the flame?

[opaque sphinx]

both

its gross

[cobalt blade]

like oshabi evasion stackers or aristocrat this is all your inc damage etc

[cobalt blade]

bossing bad clear

[crystal aspen]

or is there any info on new league start date?

[opaque sphinx]

its better bossing early but u can make it clear with invest

[opaque sphinx]

we get the a.nnouncement of the announcement of the announcement soon

[cobalt blade]

march 6th iirc

[frigid wedge]

u can get very similar clear on basically every builf

[fierce rock]

herald or surfcast for penance brand?

[frigid wedge]

surf

[finite quail]

march 6th

[opaque sphinx]

herald is just bad

[frigid wedge]

herald ascend kinda stinky

[opaque sphinx]

they killed herald when they made bloodlines

[frigid wedge]

oke gn

[cobalt blade]

is it not good for herald autobombers still

[frigid wedge]

bai

[cobalt blade]

gnn

[frigid wedge]

[split pagoda]

hoag is pretty strong

[frigid wedge]

sleepy time

[opaque sphinx]

lycia hoag is just better

[split pagoda]

on herald

[cobalt blade]

but have you considered you can have both

[split pagoda]

is it really? idk about that

[opaque sphinx]

yes

by a mile

u can run some herald sure but like

the entire build is held up by lycia

its not much dif than rrunning it on any other asc

[cobalt blade]

i meaaaan its an extra 100 buff effect and 25 virulence for hoag

thats quite good

[split pagoda]

i didnt really see anyone going lycia on it tbh

[opaque sphinx]

buff effect doesnt really do anything for hoag

the viru is good

but like

90% more dmg is a lot stronger

[cobalt blade]

you still need to poison so it lets you get rid of all your poison stuff

[split pagoda]

preeetty sure its best played on herald still

[cobalt blade]

invest more into the minions themself

[opaque sphinx]

yeah i guess thats true

[cobalt blade]

its also global poison chance

so you can steal idk profane bloom and have global poisons from those

[elfin shale]

Wait thats kinda sick

[split pagoda]

im also mainly considering it from a fresh start environment. Probably doesnt scale super well but early on for the investment its very strong

[modern zinc]

we're doing ok

[cobalt blade]

yaaa

[torn forge]

How did I end up here

[pseudo axle]

"Hah, plenty more where that came from!" Venarius said, sweating profusely as he lied through his teeth.

[opaque sphinx]

damn son even more exp than keepers

[torn forge]

I'm on a wall btw

[pseudo axle]

Oh, sweet mama.

[cobalt blade]

goddamn those have spiked

[finite quail]

yes we saw

[cobalt blade]

think i got mine for like 45

[opaque sphinx]

damn

[pseudo axle]

now thats a spicy implicit my exiles

[opaque sphinx]

yeah even UnID they are 12d

[finite quail]

Is it spicy?

[opaque sphinx]

wait

[cobalt blade]

hmmm

[opaque sphinx]

that means its not profitable to ID them

its 1/18

[ornate patrol]

it there some quick way to find source of onslaught in pob?

[finite quail]

Not usually ,no

[finite quail]

Yes

[cobalt blade]

those are some profit id's on average looking at dex % price

[finite quail]

Write "Onslaught" in custom config

[cobalt blade]

i think

[ornate patrol]

[opaque sphinx]

ah didnt see dex

[cobalt blade]

its about 40-45

[finite quail]

or simply check the "Onslaught" box in config

[cobalt blade]

just barely profit though

[ornate patrol]

no i mean like find the source of it

[opaque sphinx]

yeh i guess

[cobalt blade]

but not taking into account hitting ele as chaos or anything else as a 2 mod

[opaque sphinx]

wonder if there's anything else good

[finite quail]

Well

Look at what you have equipped

And look at your tree

And find out

Basically, no, there isn't a quick way

[ornate patrol]

cool

[elfin shale]

Ctrl+F Onslaught on the tree and check your items

[past rain]

if u have the chieftain ascendancy thing

does 15% ele res

give 15 ele res or 15 ele res + 15 cold + 15 light

[cobalt blade]

15 cant double dip

[finite quail]

all res doesnt double dip

its specifically fire res that applies also to cold and lightning

not all ele res

[lean urchin]

well that is a elemental resistance modifier, not fire

"Modifiers to Fire Resistance also apply to Cold and Lightning Resistances at 50% of their Value
Unaffected by Ignite "

[cobalt blade]

specifically stating you cant double dip because 16 cold and fire resist would give you 16 cold 16 fire 8 lightning res

[stuck phoenix]

It is a modifier to fire resistance. But it already applies to cold and lightning, so a stat that makes it apply to cold and lightning does nothing

[opaque sphinx]

if u craft fire and cold

do u get extra cold

[cobalt blade]

^

[opaque sphinx]

oh

i can read i promise

[stuck phoenix]

X

[native abyss]

X

[lean urchin]

i used to be able to read, internet got me

[ornate patrol]

[finite quail]

ew wtf

its not ordered like an inventory

[spice pecan]

is this penis brand

[ornate patrol]

sbark

[finite quail]

[ornate patrol]

ambatu spark

[finite quail]

why is there a glorious vanity there

[ornate patrol]

it looks nice

pretty circle

[opaque sphinx]

imagine actually unlocking ur map device

imma go whole phrecia with 4 slots just for the meme

[spice pecan]

i dont need no stinkin 6 slot map device to hit 90

i may actually have to open maps tho

[opaque sphinx]

[pseudo axle]

ayy, dropped this and chucked two div at it, lets go

[opaque sphinx]

hot

[pseudo axle]

https://tenor.com/view/more-wine-game-of-thrones-hindi-kulfy-gif-11681383544957314713

I kinda wish I was running a build that could get away with running Wine of the Prophet

I also wish Wine of the Prophet worked with Mother's Embrace

I wish more things worked with Mother's Embrace tbh

[elfin shale]

Does anyone know approximately how far Phantasms spawn from a marked enemy

Ugh damnit Somatic Shell doesnt detonate on enemy death nvm

Well, maybe itll work? But ill probably one-shot phantasms with the projectile at decent investment

WAIT i just Southbound it

Goodbye Nerds

Diablo II 2 just came out on Steam

[keen lotus]

yooo

[keen lotus]

whats best leveliing kit for frost blade leveling on a scion?

[spice pecan]

comes with the new class it looks like

[finite quail]

yo holy shit new content? actual new content?

[pulsar dune]

I think DB said around 4m

[spice pecan]

yeah they released a new class, warlock

but its like $25

[opaque sphinx]

u have to pay for the class?

[spice pecan]

yes

[normal hedge]

yes

it has melee, caster and minion stuff

[opaque sphinx]

LULW

eat a dick bliz

[normal hedge]

but d2r is a pain to play

small inv

Shoo

[spice pecan]

it adds loot filters directly in the game, and stash tab affinities

[finite quail]

YO

YOOO

[stuck phoenix]

That doesn't look like poe1

You know #other-games exists

[finite quail]

Too bad all of this is already in project diablo 2

except the warlock I suppose

Looks cool, probably won't bother

Definitely wont pay 40 dollars for it lmao

Back to poe

https://tenor.com/view/poe-divine-poe-nyam-gif-9354241074229914147

[elfin shale]

Ourgh

[limber lance]

what do we know abt 3.28 besides the stuff they shared yesterday? ive seen some poeple talking abt what GGG said they wanted to change in 3.28, such as endgame progression and variety. What else do we know abt 3.28? (also besides a potential delve rework)

[spice pecan]

i think the image is actually the entrance to karui shores rather than delve

[stuck phoenix]

I think we know less than you said

[signal hawk]

we know dates

that is it

[normal hedge]

we know they're gonna do ballistic changes

[signal hawk]

everything else is speculation

[stuck phoenix]

Yeah. Date is all we know afaik

[limber lance]

im hope so

[spice pecan]

inb4 "all classes buffed 2.0"

[hard cliff]

How do you charge for a class in a mod ?

That's illegal

[limber lance]

ive also read from someone that 3.28 will be the first poe1 league with a dedicated small dev team since the release of poe2 EA

[spice pecan]

it's a dlc apparently

[normal hedge]

ive seen people talking about that but never heard that from ggg

[stuck phoenix]

Ngl I don't think I can trust anything you say

[spice pecan]

but yeah the image is this

i'm p sure

[limber lance]

yeah im also did some research but couldnt find any info with substance

[limber lance]

dont be hysteric

[signal hawk]

I heard 3.28 will be the first league where the version number is 3.28

[stuck phoenix]

It's also like, not that important whether or not they have dedicated devs, just, dedicated time

[stuck phoenix]

I'm very calm

[stuck phoenix]

Real

[normal hedge]

if they have more than 2 devs this time i'll be happy

[native abyss]

classic blizzard tbh

[hard cliff]

TRUST FABI 2026

[normal hedge]

maybe they actually test the league mechanic instead of making trump walls again

[limber lance]

im just sharing to see if otheres have heard the same, otherwise its just statements from strangers

[opaque sphinx]

idc about how many devs they have just how long they stick around for after the league launches

[stuck phoenix]

I'm surprised so many hated the walls so much

[opaque sphinx]

why?

they are beyond garbage design

[stuck phoenix]

Maybe I'm too casual. I didn't really care about them

[limber lance]

they slow you, and visually its a nuisance too

[normal hedge]

i dont bother much besides it killing some strats like essence calcification

[gritty garnet]

I think it's just a lot of visual clutter

[spice pecan]

they're annoying cuz they fuck up the mob pathing and you end up killing like 50% of mobs

and that

[stuck phoenix]

Well, you're essentially presenting it as fact. Not asking, is this true?

[limber lance]

i stated that "ive heard" stuff abt these things, not stating it as a fact

[signal hawk]

I didnt cared too much about walls either but I'm also a casual

[finite quail]

We know that Saresh, The Weeping Black, will be part of 3.28

And that it comes march 6th

[spice pecan]

walls were giga annoying

[finite quail]

We know nothing else

[normal hedge]

24 waves bothers me more than walls

[native abyss]

I heard I'm getting 12 mirrors next league 🔥 🔥 it's true

[finite quail]

12 esh's mirrors

[signal hawk]

We know that GGG was looking for a Saresh VA no? not that it was for PoE1

[stuck phoenix]

Also "I've read", and personally, I don't usually read stuff I don't trust and then repeat it

[opaque sphinx]

neat that dex chest sold

wasn't even that long

[whole bluff]

Ballistic? I was hoping they would improve AoEs and spells

[opaque sphinx]

wait how are ppl not just printing money with necrotics wtf

if both dex and int are money mods

[stuck phoenix]

Aoe ballista totems

[opaque sphinx]

how the fk do u ever lose

[normal hedge]

it was a joke because they said that in 3.27 and was meta was almost the same

[whole bluff]

I don't even know man, but I always do

[opaque sphinx]

tree basically prints 3k/600 necrotics tho

then its like 20-30 eldritch chaos

[signal hawk]

Balista League, only Balistas can do damage

[normal hedge]

deal

[whole bluff]

Tree prints a lot of stuff

[limber lance]

i made very clear that it was just something ive read, with does the job i think

[stuck phoenix]

[limber lance]

who is Saresh, do we have a piccture or lore

[ornate patrol]

@opaque sphinx i got it online, its zdps and i got one shotted a few times

[opaque sphinx]

yeh its 1/60 eldritch chaos for either t1, and 1/30 for t2s

[stuck phoenix]

If I read something from GGG chances are I'll phrase that as "I read"

[opaque sphinx]

[ornate patrol]

but to be fair my spark is only lvl 14

[stuck phoenix]

If you want to say you read something unreliable, you can specify

[ornate patrol]

so thats missing a lot of smg

[opaque sphinx]

that'd help

[limber lance]

i literally said "ive heard some people talking about..."

[stuck phoenix]

And then you said "I read"

[limber lance]

in connection to the poeple that have been talking, shoudlnt been to far from the shot

its not that deep

[stuck phoenix]

It's not that deep indeed

[cobalt blade]

Personally also disliked walls because it just made an entire section of your map not worth running since no other mechanics spawned in there

And the time the mechanic took to run wasnt worth it

[elfin shale]

My thinking was i run Somatic Shell + Penance Mark, then every wand attack i get 3 projectile hits and 3 shell pops and a Reap (which pops them all)

[cobalt blade]

Even if the mobs did just get redistributed in the map it sucks to have an entire section not worth doing

[elfin shale]

But getting a 4m Somatic Shell sounds, difficult

[limber lance]

visually the league mechanic was kinda annoying too

[cobalt blade]

That i didn't have a problem with

Not nearly as bad as deli grey

[limber lance]

i didnt have a problem with it either the first 2 months, but it started annyoing me after replaing in phrecia 2.0 after a freind mentioned it

[finite quail]

nothing else

[ornate patrol]

self chill uptime is only 50%

[finite quail]

we don't know anything else

[ornate patrol]

tf

scammed

[finite quail]

other than that

there is no more information

[cobalt blade]

you need veiled 4 second for 100%

Or not veiled anymore temple drop

[ornate patrol]

oh

[cobalt blade]

craft one is 8 seconds trigger not perma uptime

[ornate patrol]

how tf am i even supposed to craft this sceptre then

[opaque sphinx]

^

thats why i said gl with the sceptre

[cobalt blade]

You fracture 4 seconds

[opaque sphinx]

when i saw the build lol

trying to craft that shit for my reverse chill exsang was beyond frustrating and one of the worst crafts ive ever had the pleasure of doing

the veiled odds are stupid af

[cobalt blade]

and then i think its just a essence craft aug lightning once you hit t1 flat to spells?

[ornate patrol]

its ok i have plenty of currency

[cobalt blade]

yeah its not even veiled anymore you have to fracture a temple drop

[opaque sphinx]

srs

why

WHY

lol

taking an already shitty unbearable craft and making it even worse

[ornate patrol]

and u need to recomb it onto a good base first too

[cobalt blade]

Yup

[ornate patrol]

on the bright side veiled orbs are only 2d

fracturing*

[cobalt blade]

might be able to nnn recomb them with an essence too

but not 100% sure

[ornate patrol]

i thought they removed the nnn stuff

[cobalt blade]

you can still do non native natural mods

like dex essence on int chest

just cant do multi mod shenanigans

[limber lance]

i did some more research regarding the rumors ive heard, thats what i found out Vague Past Promises (Unconfirmed Details) : A community discussion references a GGG forum post from November 2025 stating that "late endgame farming strategies are currently lacking in diversity" and that a "larger amount of changes... are planned for 3.28" . However, the search results do not include the text of this official post—only players discussing it. No specific mechanics, reworks, or details have been confirmed.

No Official Confirmation: Despite various forum threads complaining about the current endgame or worrying about delays, there is no official announcement, interview summary, or developer quote within these results that confirms what the 3.28 endgame changes actually are .

Upcoming Information: The only concrete date mentioned is a livestream scheduled for February 26, 2026, where players expect GGG to reveal details about 3.28 .

[cobalt blade]

P sure source was an interview?

[limber lance]

that could be too, i just asked chat

[cobalt blade]

Or actually no it was the post when they buffed nemesis scarab i can go find it

Gimme a minute

[stuck phoenix]

??????
this is not true

We have the launch confirmed

the date

[spice pecan]

the tl;dr - we know nothing except the date

[stuck phoenix]

ngl I'm just losing trust in you even more

[cobalt blade]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3874760

[stuck phoenix]

And please don't call using AI as research

[limber lance]

i was aware of the launch date, ui just copied what chat gpt told me

[stuck phoenix]

AI is the opposite of research

[spice pecan]

ah, you used ai

no wonder it looks like doodoo

[cobalt blade]

A larger amount of changes to this area are planned for 3.28.

[stuck phoenix]

Yeah it was blatantly obvious

[finite quail]

bro i think you gotta sit down and be patient

[ornate patrol]

man im just getting one tapped wtf

[opaque sphinx]

ai needs deleted man

[stuck phoenix]

genuinely? never fucking present AI as research

[limber lance]

just wanted to clear up some stuff i said earlier

[finite quail]

spark

[cobalt blade]

^^ fuck ai

[stuck phoenix]

You only cleared up one thing. That you're a liar.

You are actually making me annoyed

[limber lance]

calm down man wtfff

[stuck phoenix]

No

[cobalt blade]

But yeah this is the post where they state larger changes for 328

[stuck phoenix]

I don't want to

[limber lance]

yeah same

[opaque sphinx]

synth rework pls

i beg

i cry

i plead

i give bj

[stuck phoenix]

Anyways. Do not post AI as fact.

[ornate patrol]

wait im an idiot i forgot to swap res

that will give me billion crit

[icy zinc]

fight ai wtih ai

got ai response?

use ai to dissolve

[stuck phoenix]

you're not wrong

[limber lance]

i did, again, not post anything as a solid fact. I asked chat gpt if the rumors ive heard were true and onlyy posted it to explain that what i eralier assumed was not true. Also what the AI said was not wrong since i specifically asked abt endgame changes. also you dont have to say that youre losing trust in me, were legit strangers idk what that was abt

[ornate patrol]

who let huc out of offtopic

[stuck phoenix]

Shut up

[icy zinc]

im in poe

[ornate patrol]

scp has breached containment

[stuck phoenix]

And again, ffs, what the AI said is factually false

There is no reason to even consider going through what it said because everything it says it makes up

Because it cannot know anything
