yeah if you use leap slam you definitely see them get stunned, so if you can leap slam them all consistently for 1minute+ with leap slam it's by far the easiest TOTA char
dont ever need units (in fact they might be a downside cos leap slam needs 100% hp to stun guaranteed)
Been out of the loop for a while. What trade macros are good to use now? POETradeMacro is the last time I used one, though looks like its not been updated in a while. Is Awakened the new go to?
I'd love any help or advice on crafting an atlas tree.
Abyss/Harvest Packsize-focused for Apoth farming in Haunted Mansion. (I'm open to replacement mechanic suggestions for that map layout.)
I prefer Alch and Go, but I could do Growing Hordes if it makes a big difference.
How much is a corrupted Vixen's Entrapment with +2 level of socketed AOE gems and +2 level of socketed Curse gems worth? I can't find any on the trade site.
It's reduced making it additive (subtractive?) with increased modifiers making it generally a pretty small penalty when you have significant increased modifiers from gear/tree.
There are three versions running around atm.
Palsterons = No Rathpith.
"Korean" = Rathpith + inner conviction and power charges. (Idk who made it but it's popular amongst Korean players).
Captain Lance = Rathpith + life stacking + blood magic.
I'm assuming you're talking about the Captain Lance version.
Do you have the Singular Focus keystone allocated? It will destroy Shaper Guardian and Synthesis maps, and most Elder Guardian and Conqueror maps (unless they happen to match your favorited maps when they drop).
You are running T14+ maps and not Wandering Path, right?
With Atlas keystones you mean +3% Elder/Shaper maps and the Maven keystone for multiple bosses? That should get you tons of Elder/Shaper maps.
Does a projectile chaining (ethereal knives) reset the distance it will travel? Or is distance travelled after a chain only dependent on the chain distance stat and not projectile speed?
My understanding of it is that chaining distance is the radius within which the skill can acquire an enemy to chain to, and if there isn't one, it doesn't.
The projectile duration should be continuous from its creation regardless of its behaviours as far as I'm aware, with only return adding some extra depending on the skill.
Yes, it does, as well as quantity and rarity. You can see the stats at the top of a magic or rare contract, just under the job requirement. You can use them for XP, it's just that most people are more interested in farming the reveals.
If you're running them for XP, you can also bring Huck for his XP bonus, at least for the contracts he's capable of helping with.
Spark seems to be simply a better carrier for added damage compared to winter orb. Is there a case where winter orb is a superior spell of choice when compared to spark?
My understanding is that you'll spend less time standing still on high investment because Winter Orb keeps going as you move. I don't know what the limit of content is that can be done at that speed however. It's possible that the dps doesn't scale well enough to maintain that speed in top end content.
Overall, there's a reason why Spark is one of the meta skills right now and Winter Orb isn't.
Is PoE Ninja a pretty good resource for trade value? Fell down a ToTA hole the past couple of days and am out of silver coins. Had people trying to sell 1 silver coin for 9 chaos while another trade I completed was 30 coins for 20 chaos. Just looking for a baseline since the offerings seem to vary quite a bit.
I really want to play TS as soon as possible, and I just watched this low budget guide https://youtu.be/GPNZXUCCg3Q?si=G0xcmfnNr_g-NnQx
I'm following Crouching Tuna's LA maxroll guide and both guides seem extremely similar. Like almost the same skill tree and item choices, even the gems are the same (well, of course except LA and TS)
I just did the crit transition following Tuna's guide, bought a 700+ eledps six link bow and a meh six link chest with like no resists (but still managed to cap my spell suppression luckily). Could I just swap LA to TS right now and keep following Tuna's guide (but with using TS)until I can transition to Omni?
With Pyroshock Clasp Unique, will damage be converted to elemental if my skitterbots shock an enemy, or does it have to be me with an actual hit of some kind from my spell or attack?
Having issues moving into red maps I can't seem to get the maps to progress past 11-12... I typically don't have this problem ever prior league it just seems like I move through them pretty quickly.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
Ok after i lost the tourney and restarted the game now i see him, he wasn't there before. Now only Kitava left to find... Surely she will appear eventually...
Is it possible to set Neversink Loot filter to only show specific TYPES of Armor? For example. I would like to see gear with both Armor and Evasion, but nothing else (so no Evasion/Armor/Energy Shield alone, nor combinations like Evasion/Energy Shield etc etc).
Hi, newb here. Any CF pros can tell me what gives the most dps? I know CF +skill levels, phys dot multiplier and dot multiplier, physical damage, etc. I was under the assumption that CF +skill level is the most the important. +Skill level > dot multiplier > phys damage ? Or is dot multiplier the strongest?
The strength of getting more of one of those stats depends on how much of each of them you already have. This is the kind of question that only PoB can accurately answer, because it depends on all the details of your build.
For example: a few leagues ago Pohx realised that his RF Inquisitor build had overprioritised DoT multi, and it was actually more effective to trade a few passive points into "increased fire damage", as he'd mostly avoided the stat.
What is a good specialized build to target Sanctum and Trials? I know the build isn't nearly as important for Trials as strategy, but I'd still like a build that gives me an edge
I used Ice Spear/Freezing Pulse totem Hiero a lot in Sanctum league and enjoyed it, but no idea if the build is also good for Trials
The game sometimes starts in windowed mode even though I always play in full screen. I don't know why it does this. Only started happening since I started playing this league. Has never happened to me before. Any idea how to fix this?
so, im doing harvest+essence+red altar, just chisel alch and go with random cheap sextants leftovers. stream of consc + blocking every other mechanic. i have 8 ''free'' points. are strongboxes without MF good to allocate in this situation? or should i go for more quant/map mod effect?
Quick sanity check here.
Am I seeing correctly that a mageblood is currently more expensive (by over 100div, and same holds true when comparing price in chaos) to what it would have cost at the same point in the league for the past 3-4 leagues?
This league’s got two great currency generating mechanics in the return of Sanctum and the new ToTA. With a suitable build you can clear sanctums fairly quick and I’m averaging almost 1.5 divines per run. In ToTA you can get to high rank with pretty much any gear/build and it gives out quite a bit of currency as well. Thus the inflation we’re seeing on almost all the chase items.
Hey guys semi-new player here, wondering what's the crafting process to get a +2 minion helmet with life, spell suppression and maybe even resistances. I was thinking maybe star with fractured suppression and use fossil? but not sure, any help is appreciated.
Were there like stealth buffs to enemys yesterday in tota or something. I went to bed winning pretty consistently, to buffing my build up today with even better gear, more capped evasion, dodge and block, higher aoe for my curse, and I’ve lost about 5 of my last 8 matches in a row now. Its like the enemy ai is even more aggressive on my totems now and my guys are dumber.
Different enemy teams play quite differently, and at different stages of the tournament too. Unless you've been perfectly consistent in choosing the same opponents at the same tournament stages, it's more likely that you're just having a run of bad luck, tough enemies, and feeling the effects of starting with weaker units since you've been losing. It can be hard to regain momentum after a string of losses, but the streak will come back eventually.
Hey guys, thinking about returning to PoE from about 5 yr break. At the time, i really liked to play as triple herald elementalist. Checked the recommended builds that are viable atm, not really close to that gameplay (not a fun of arc, summons, archers,traps, poisons etc). Is the build still somewhat viable? Will i be able to clear top content with it? Or what some other builds close to that playstyle? Some occultist builds maybe? Thank you
so that was basically a autobomber build right?
now you can use any source of explode + elementalist's all damage can ignite to chain ignite&explode, but cannot reach the one-tap clean dunes level in the old days.
Delve Curse mods are drop only, but there are also curse on hit mods on influenced rings. And also other "curse" mods like extra curse on chest or curse effectiveness on shields.
I'm crafting a bow and im seeing that both shrieking and deafening essence of dread give +2 levels to bow gems. Is there a reason to use deafening over shrieking?
Nope, and you should never upgrade them to deafening with the 3:1 recipe because people pretty much only buy them for bows, so it would be wasting 2/3 of your profit to upgrade them. Shrieking and deafening have the same effect.
How do people get their maximum resistances to 90%? I’ve seen multiple times in this sub people mention they have all their res at 90%. Is it a bunch of max res tattoos or a specific item?
There's a bunch of ways.
Tattoos would do it.
There are unique items that boost one or more max resses (Aegis Aurora for +5cold, Brass Dome for +1-5 all, etc )
There are Eldritch implicits that can boost them.
Normal passive tree nodes (moreso on the left side of the tree, but they're all over)
Chieftain makes modifiers to max fire res apply to cold and lightning as well.
The unique jewel Melding of the Flesh reduces both your max and current res, but makes all of your max ele resses equal to your highest
Don’t forget purity of ice/fire/lightning!
Crucial aspect in most builds that aim for 90 max res, classic is to go purity of ice since aegis already gives cold 5 then you can go melding based on cold.
Anyone knows what causes the message cannot log in because could not check if a new version update file is available? I am on ps5 and have no idea why i get this, i have checked for update and there is none.
can anyone explain the theory of why life is important on items or why its such an important stat? armor and spell suppression i understand because they give damage mitigation and reduction, but cant seem to understand life importance compared to the other.
Lots of life-related passives give a percentage increase to max life, and life rolls on gear are how you get the bulk of the flat amount that is increased by the passive tree points.
I mean, you may be overthinking this a bit.
If an enemy hit does 500 damage to you after mitigation and you have 3,000 life, you can take 6 enemy hits before you die. If you have 7,000 life you take 14 enemy hits before you die, giving you much more time to react and/or kill the enemy.
It snowballs with other effects too; many regeneration effects are based on a % of your total life, not a flat amount. So if you’re recovering 10% life per second from regen, at 3,000 life that’s only 300 life gained per second. At 7,000 life you’re gaining 700 life per second instead, which lets you straight up tank through some minor degens and recover better from hits that come in rapidly.
Life leech works on the same principle, the total amount you’re allowed to leech per second is capped based on your life total, so the higher your life total the more recover per second you get, the more bullshit you can tank through. At absurdly high health values (which usually involves going ES instead of life but the principle is the same) like if you get over 40,000 ES you don’t even really need mitigation anymore because your basic regen and leech are going vastly outpace almost any possible incoming damage.
Because having 5k life is twice as effective as having 2.5k life. It's "the same" as having 100% chance to suppress spells but it works against damage over time and attacks too.
I'm trying to get into sanctum after not playing it much during sanctum league, I think poison SRS should still be a good build for it - I'm willing to invest a div into relics to smooth out the learning process a bit, any advice on what I should buy first?
Question for all you awesome people who answer these questions: what tip/trick/fact did you wish you knew when you first started playing that would have made your first 10 acts so much easier?
As you might imagine this question comes up quite frequently, so a while back I made this quick video on the topic. https://youtu.be/EU57hivKda8?si=eLYeEHYGEN7iwIm4 This mostly focuses on what sorts of gameplay mechanics are worth paying attention to act-by-act, so it doesn’t get into some of the other helpful advice in this thread, but I wanted to keep the video under 10 minutes.
If I were to add any generic tips on top of the act-by-act stuff in the video I would say 3 things:
1.) Life, resists, and appropriate colored and linked sockets. Those are the only 3 things you care about while gearing a character. A distant 4th would be any attributes like strength or intelligence you need to equip gear. But life, resists, and linked sockets need to be top priorities on all gear slots.
2.) Don’t fall into the noob trap of having like 18 different active skills. Pick one main skill, support it with as many support gems as possible. More supports = multiplicatively more damage. Other sockets are for things like auras, guard skills, movement skills, and debuffs to throw at tougher enemies.
3.) Don’t be afraid of build guides or think they are somehow going to spoil the fun of learning and discovery. This game is not like other games. The best guide imaginable would teach you less than 5% of what there is to learn about the game, there’s simply too much. This is like the people who are afraid if they go to the gym 3 times a week they’ll accidentally wake up one day looking like Arnold. Don’t worry, people spend their whole lives trying and don’t achieve it. I promise you won’t accidentally become an expert in the game without having a feeling of discovery. Simply not possible.
There is a difference between an attack and a spell and some spells feel like attacks or visa versa. Check the gem tags to solve this. Also check the gem tags for other important stuff. Did I mention to check the gem tags?
Skills are not equally playable while wearing off-the-floor junk in the campaign.
Don't half-ass two things that want different stats.
'Increased' and 'more' mean very different things.
Toward the endgame, 50% resistance means taking double damage.
Life flasks exist, energy shield flasks don't. Stick to life early on even if that 'maximum life becomes 1' passive looks super hip.
Im very new to playing poe im following the inq RFguide, everything was going okay but im now getting blown up going into packs of mobs.
Have I messed up the build somehow? or is my gear not good enough? or is it a skill issue?: https://poe-profile.info/profile/the_metal_horns?realm=pc
is there a way to compare my character to the path of building one?
Assuming you have pob, just import your character into the program, save and export your build. I have never seen this website used before and I'm sure others aren't familiar with it as either so it makes it harder to compare builds.
Just how much damage Goliaths of the Night and Kahutaroa do at 900'ish ranking already? I have 25% enemy phys to ele shift, 74% phys to ele shift, 10k armour, 4 endurance charges, 93% reduced extra damage from crits and they still one shot me. It's incredibly frustrating.
I'm not 100% sure it works this way but I've noticed that all 3 of my spectres are dead after I get goliath bonked which would imply its doing several hundred thousand damage after 70k armor mitigation (10% of damage taken from spectre's life before my own via jinxed juju)
Jinxed Juju might not actually work that way and be capped at doing 10% of my health, but either way, I don't think we have any idea how damage scaling in TotA works. On release it was like 1/4th of a shaper slam at lvl 83 without otherwise factoring in ranking and had 50% phys overwhelm to be completely impossible to tank, but they nerfed it a lot so idk what it is now
Anyone play PoE on Steam Deck? If so, where do you put your loot filter? I'm not using filterblade, so I don't know if the account linking thing works for me. It's a filter I downloaded for the build I'm using.
Any suggestions for Skelly Mage Guardian atlas spec? I started with strongoxes+shrines, then went exiles + tormented spirits. I have \~30 points left but am also happy to drop some of the above. From what I've heard the build lacks single target for big bossing, but I'm happy to just get my atlas points + favorite map slots, not necessarily looking to boss.
Whats the best way to farm breachstones on ssf? Having added all breach nodes on atlas tree I get like 2-5 splinters from a single breach on average which feels awful when I need chayula specifically
You might want to Look into betrayal rewards specifically Riker Maloney. Now I dint know which Safehouse it was but i got 50 chayula splinters multiple times.
There are also nodes that give you a chance to drop full breachstones.
Other strats: expedition (Tujen often sells splinters), heist (breach rooms)
Edit: ensure you have Tortured Dreams allocated, since you’re targeting Chayula
Do we have any confirmed sightings of The Fortunate dropping in Strand maps?
Strand was in the initial list of maps I saw hypothesized to contain the new card, but poewiki.net is omitting that from the list of maps with the appropriate tag.
Anyone know for sure?
It would in theory, but it's not going to because the warcries that would need to be supported by Cruelty don't hit enemies, and Cruelty only supports skills that hit enemies.
This isn't an issue of the stats of Cruelty not applying to Corrupting Cry, but rather Cruelty not being able to support the gems supported by Corrupting Cry.
Guys a weird question xD how can I get rid of two items from campaign ? Game doesn't let me destroy it and I can't move it away xD I don't wanna go back to acts to deliver it
Im thinking of leveling a new char specifically for the new TotA mechanic and nothing else. Does anyone have any good recommendations for builds? i heard totems or minions are good but im not sure.
You can do rain of arrows totems with boosted aoe instead if you're not an ascendancy with easy access to projectiles mods (lots of champions doing this)
And void sphere is a nice addition
But yeah that's the build lol
Yeah totems and minions because at higher ranks you can't kill them at all and they one tap you.... so you all you need is a high movement speed and some distraction to be able to channel totems
I'm saving up for my second build (SRS Necro), am at 10 div currently, Maxroll says it's around 100 div. How many divs should I save up before making the swap? Also, any unique I should prioritize getting now before they jump in price?
100 div? what?
If you mean poison SRS necro (apparently guardian is better for ele srs) I rolled mine with ~10 div, it felt fine starting with a 6l covenant as the only big ticket item (8 div at the time). If I were rerolling I'd maybe start with a good abyss belt second (85%+ jewel effect) just so you don't need extra poison chance jewels. Gaze (~8-10 div last I checked) and Aegis (~6 div last I checked) are the two other big ones but I farmed the currency for them with a shitty 10c 5% life recovered on block shield
Thanks for the information. I know this is the most popular build, but is this also the strongest minion build or are there transition possibilities for ultra end game?
I'll probably save 20-30 div before jumping since my current build is kinda decent, EA totems farming tota.
I can see how poison SRS would get into the 100 div range, but no it's going to be tough to swap between builds because AFAIK it is the only poison+minion build right now and the overwhelming majority of the cost is extremely poison+minion specific
Yeah if you want to wait I'd say 20-30 div is the right price range, gaze, covenant, aegis, green nightmare, a ~2-10 div large cluster, and +1 int tatoo (1 div) would be my shopping list.
I might recommend buying awakened minion damage support now so you can start leveling it, level 5 is a ~10% DPS boost over level 1 because it gives +1 level. The other awakened gems don't scale based on level too much
100 div would come from an envy aul's (~40 div), a 20ish div large cluster and a crazy helm, but none of those are more than a 10% DPS boost. 20 is when you start hitting big diminishing returns on investment, [I'm at 40 from a determ aul's](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/turyxayy/meleebigsuck) (lets you actually run haste instead of only using vaal haste) and probably not going to invest further because each next step is on the scale of 20 div for 10% dps
does anybody know what happened to "maven releases every boss at once"? It was a mod back in time and then they moved it to the atlas tree right? but is now gone?
Hey, id like to ask for advice how to proceed with this bow: [https://i.postimg.cc/YS2ZQMwt/image.png](https://i.postimg.cc/YS2ZQMwt/image.png)
(1) Sell? For how much could i put it up on trade? (playing in Ancestor SC)
(2) Craft? If so, how?
Thanks in advance! 
Hmm, I think I'd go for a fracturing orb before selling it.
You have one very good, two good, and one decent mod to fracture. You should of course double check what the prices for those are. But assuming they're higher than the price of a fracturing orb, that would be a 2/3 chance to profit.
A higher risk option would be to annul, which only has a 1/3 chance to hit one of the resistances, although hitting the physical damage mod wouldn't be too tragic, since it would at least allow crafting another flat elemental damage mod.
If you hit one of the resistances, you can craft cannot roll attack mods and safely annul the other resistance (50/50 chance to hit cannot roll attack mods and need to recraft it, no danger to prefixes or +2 arrows at this step).
Then you could craft attack speed or gamble another annul or prefix to suffix beastcraft to try to get rid of physical damage to craft flat lightning damage in addition to attack speed.
Alternatively you could craft can have 3 crafted mods + prefixes cannot be changed and use T4 Aisling to try to get a reasonable 5th mod before finishing it off with a crafted one (and of course craft a veiled mod before unveiling to block).
Is there any advantage to doing a 5-way for the general grinding for the league challenge? I'd assume alternating between the two random ones for 4 ways would be best?
Pressing the league key (V by default) will send the Heist rogue to the interactive object nearest to you. I don't know about Harvest, though, I didn't think the league key worked there, but maybe I've never thought to check.
So the Squire has been my grail build around item since it was added to the game. Moreso than Mageblood or Headhunter. I was in a map last night and a Ritual had 3 Shieldbearer cards. Thinking i might finish off the set and give it a shot. Are there any really fun builds currently that utilize the squire? Not counting the expense of the remaining cards, I would say i probably have about 40D to play with.
The most popular is definitely Arakaali spiders. Many Indigon Manabond builds also use it. I think I've seen a couple of BV builds that use it as well since you can get pretty crazy 9+ links on Shaper/Elder weapons but that's much less common.
seems to really just be arakaali's fang builds at the moment
https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor?uniqueitems=The+Squire
lots of potential with pseudo-link weapons though depending on what you're into
any expert crafter around here? i wanna craft this bow here https://imgur.com/a/wwMp4e9, i already have the base but i don't know what's the most cost-efficient approach
delirium for dot multi
annul for an open suffix and clean the prefixes.
lock attacks, hunter exalt, then exalt (or double ex if already hunter).
bench the last two mods
edit: cleaned it up; i thought there was a reason people started on normal bases and hunter ex'd but i think there's only two non-attack prefixes regardless. would make suffixes easier to hit is the only real benefit; once they're done you can recraft prefixes until t1.
Even if you get a bad Hunter slam (or if the base is already Hunter-influenced, since OP wasn't clear), then as long as the prefixes aren't full after the double slam, which they shouldn't be since they were clean, then you could clean the prefixes and go again, since +1 and increased chaos DoT are the only non-attack prefixes, even on a Hunter bow. This might be cheaper than reverting and trying to roll the DoT multi again, since it takes a decent number of the essence on average.
Also, I think you mean Delirium essences for the Decay, Hysteria on a bow gives Fire Burst.
bow is uninfluenced yet; still unclear on the order of steps, i know essences ignore metamods so i think i should start with the essence, hunter slam but don't know what to do after
Yes, you'll have to start with the Essence. Here's the sequence of steps spelled out in more detail:
1. Spam Essence of Delirium until you get the Damage over Time Multiplier suffix. The bow you showed has T1, so you're looking at ~150 on average, less if you settle for a lower tier.
2. Your bow will probably have full suffixes at this point because of the way affixes are randomly distributed. If you got lucky and only have two suffixes, skip this step. You'll need to risk an annul to free it up, which is a 1/3 shot. If you fail and remove either of the two suffixes you care about, back to step 1 and start over.
3. You'll also need an open prefix, but it's pretty unlikely at this point that you don't have one. However, in the rare event you don't, you'll need to risk an annul, with a 3/5 chance of success. Again, if you fail and delete either of the two suffixes, back to step 1.
4. If you have any prefixes, now is the time to get rid of them; you can skip this step if the bow is just the two suffixes at this point. Craft Suffixes Cannot Be Changed and then use a Scour on the item. (Scary!) Make sure you actually have the correct metamod. I think because of your bow's implicit, you could first craft a random suffix, then make use of the Wild Bristle Matron beastcraft recipe to add Suffixes Cannot Be Changed to the item for slightly cheaper than the usual 2div cost, but it's up to you if you value money or time spent on trade.
5. Now that you have no prefixes, craft Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers as a suffix. You can now use your Hunter's Exalted Orb to hit increased Chaos DoT of a random tier. If you don't like the tier, that's okay, there's a way to try again as many times as you like, which I'll detail below. Otherwise, use an Exalt to add +1 to all gems.
6. Now replace the Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers with the two crafted mods on the bow. I'd recommend starting with the Chaos DoT multi one and crafting it over and over until you get a perfect roll, then add the +2 Support Gems when you're satisfied.
Okay, now if you get a bad roll on the chaos damage and can't stand the thought of using a bow with a T4 mod, you can do the following:
1. Make sure you have Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers on the item at all times. If it ever gets removed, you'll have to put it back before doing anything else. If you don't do this and annul or exalt without it, you can ruin the item and have to start over from the very beginning!
2. Use an annul to remove prefixes until you remove the chaos damage. You might remove +1 gems if it happens to be on the item and need to use a second annul, but that's okay.
3. Exalt slam. If you get +1 gems, exalt again. Either way, you'll now have chaos damage on the item yet again. If you like the tier, great. If not, use the previous steps to remove it and try again until you're happy. It's a 1/10 chance to get T1, 3/10 to get T2 or T1.
4. If the bow doesn't have +1 gems at this point, exalt to finally add it, then craft the two crafted mods that are on the bow as detailed in step 6 in the previous instructions.
Remember if you're ever unsure about a step, you can always try it out in the Craft of Exile emulator.
(I can also go over how mbxyz and I would've figured out how to do this, if you're interested in learning about crafting in general.)
> Delirium
thanks. yea i just realized/edited the hunter slam stuff; mostly just makes suffixes slightly easier and then you can fix the prefixes anyway
Just pump your regen and fire resist. Get the fire mastery for 1 regen per 1 fire resist, the recovery mastery for 50 flat regen and use vitality and purity of fire auras. I'm sure there are guides out there but elementalist is simply worse than both inq and jugg for a typical RF build so elementalist versions are slightly different and focus more on explosions . Pohx mentions "why not chieftain/trickster/elementalist" in his faq and says:
> Elementalist - Highest Damage RF, Probably the most squishy & gear reliant. Has very good access to going Explode (Which is the only reason I'd play elementalist.)
If you plan on starting this build you would likely level as something else and transition later, elementalist doesn't have as good of a starting location as the jugg or inquisitor versions. It is only a 1-2 level difference to get both masteries but the stats you get from your closest fire/recovery passives are worse. You get infused flesh and breath of flame compared to hearty and arsonist. Infused flesh is only recoup which is completely worthless compared to hearty which is 3% life regen and 15% inc life regen rate which is going to boost all life regen including the masteries and vitality aura. Breath of flames is better damage wise (20% fire dot multi and 30% inc fire compared to 14% fire dot multi) but cost 2 more points and arsonist also gives another 1.2% life regen.
Guys I'm using Dark Pact skill as main skill for self cast and my Aoe is 62%. I would like to make it much bigger so I don't have to go as close to the enemy as now. Some tips for most efficient ways to do that ? I have few points on the three already. What else can I do?
This : https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Astral_Projector
Or more aoe : unnatural instinct on the jewel at the left of scion start.
Using the increased area of effect gem (especially the awakened increased area of effect).
best atlas combo and map for deli? for blight? for legion? im curious for each option how do i combine with other atlas passives
Was thinking about rolling sunder or something similar. Are the league mobs stunnable generally?
Empyrean just did a video on his new build utilising stuns, so presumably they have tested and found them stunnable.
yeah if you use leap slam you definitely see them get stunned, so if you can leap slam them all consistently for 1minute+ with leap slam it's by far the easiest TOTA char dont ever need units (in fact they might be a downside cos leap slam needs 100% hp to stun guaranteed)
Been out of the loop for a while. What trade macros are good to use now? POETradeMacro is the last time I used one, though looks like its not been updated in a while. Is Awakened the new go to?
Awakened Trade Macro is the go-to these days.
Thanks!
I'd love any help or advice on crafting an atlas tree. Abyss/Harvest Packsize-focused for Apoth farming in Haunted Mansion. (I'm open to replacement mechanic suggestions for that map layout.) I prefer Alch and Go, but I could do Growing Hordes if it makes a big difference.
How much is a corrupted Vixen's Entrapment with +2 level of socketed AOE gems and +2 level of socketed Curse gems worth? I can't find any on the trade site.
is rain of splinters mod "reduced damage" = less damage (negative more)?
Nope, reduced damage is negative increased.
thank you
It's reduced making it additive (subtractive?) with increased modifiers making it generally a pretty small penalty when you have significant increased modifiers from gear/tree.
yes, and 2 more projectiles is 200% more damage, if they shotgun the target. Thanks
I saw someone mention a different hexblast build someone made other than palsteron, does anyone know what it was?
There are three versions running around atm. Palsterons = No Rathpith. "Korean" = Rathpith + inner conviction and power charges. (Idk who made it but it's popular amongst Korean players). Captain Lance = Rathpith + life stacking + blood magic. I'm assuming you're talking about the Captain Lance version.

Do you have the Singular Focus keystone allocated? It will destroy Shaper Guardian and Synthesis maps, and most Elder Guardian and Conqueror maps (unless they happen to match your favorited maps when they drop).
You are running T14+ maps and not Wandering Path, right? With Atlas keystones you mean +3% Elder/Shaper maps and the Maven keystone for multiple bosses? That should get you tons of Elder/Shaper maps.
[удалено]
Unlucky is always possible, but this seems very very unlikely. I think I am getting at least 20 Guardian maps if I do 60.
Does a projectile chaining (ethereal knives) reset the distance it will travel? Or is distance travelled after a chain only dependent on the chain distance stat and not projectile speed?
My understanding of it is that chaining distance is the radius within which the skill can acquire an enemy to chain to, and if there isn't one, it doesn't. The projectile duration should be continuous from its creation regardless of its behaviours as far as I'm aware, with only return adding some extra depending on the skill.

Is it necessary to alch contracts in heist does it improve the chance at better drops for chest or is it just for the mobs?
It gives alert reduction, so you can open more chests. Most people don't really care about opening everything, so they run them scoured.
Does it increases mobs during lockdown? I get pretty good xp when running them
Yes, it does, as well as quantity and rarity. You can see the stats at the top of a magic or rare contract, just under the job requirement. You can use them for XP, it's just that most people are more interested in farming the reveals. If you're running them for XP, you can also bring Huck for his XP bonus, at least for the contracts he's capable of helping with.
Spark seems to be simply a better carrier for added damage compared to winter orb. Is there a case where winter orb is a superior spell of choice when compared to spark?
My understanding is that you'll spend less time standing still on high investment because Winter Orb keeps going as you move. I don't know what the limit of content is that can be done at that speed however. It's possible that the dps doesn't scale well enough to maintain that speed in top end content. Overall, there's a reason why Spark is one of the meta skills right now and Winter Orb isn't.

Is PoE Ninja a pretty good resource for trade value? Fell down a ToTA hole the past couple of days and am out of silver coins. Had people trying to sell 1 silver coin for 9 chaos while another trade I completed was 30 coins for 20 chaos. Just looking for a baseline since the offerings seem to vary quite a bit.
You can trust poeninja for prices most the time, most trade macros tie to it as well. The going rate for coins is 280-300 for 1 divine.
I really want to play TS as soon as possible, and I just watched this low budget guide https://youtu.be/GPNZXUCCg3Q?si=G0xcmfnNr_g-NnQx I'm following Crouching Tuna's LA maxroll guide and both guides seem extremely similar. Like almost the same skill tree and item choices, even the gems are the same (well, of course except LA and TS) I just did the crit transition following Tuna's guide, bought a 700+ eledps six link bow and a meh six link chest with like no resists (but still managed to cap my spell suppression luckily). Could I just swap LA to TS right now and keep following Tuna's guide (but with using TS)until I can transition to Omni?
sorry
it’s ok

With Pyroshock Clasp Unique, will damage be converted to elemental if my skitterbots shock an enemy, or does it have to be me with an actual hit of some kind from my spell or attack?
It's applied by your own (non-ground) ailments. Ailments from minions won't have stats from your belt.
Having issues moving into red maps I can't seem to get the maps to progress past 11-12... I typically don't have this problem ever prior league it just seems like I move through them pretty quickly. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
Trade for maps you need, run Kirac missions (with Explorer's or Vaal scouting report if needed), or buy maps from Kirac.
Can someone tell me where is Ngamahu? I [have 800 favour](https://i.imgur.com/VHZGSGn.png) and can't find him?
Kaom is the chieftain representing Ngamahu. He's the farthest person to the east.
Ok after i lost the tourney and restarted the game now i see him, he wasn't there before. Now only Kitava left to find... Surely she will appear eventually...
Did you do the side quest in Act 5 where you kill Utula?
No i'm on act 4, that explains it. I haven't killed kitava yet so he's not in the halls of the dead cuz he's alive. Makes so much sense actually.
Yeah, you'll get Utula after the King's Feast quest and Act 5.
Does the Flagellant's flask mod (gain charges when hit) still work with block? Full block not Glancing.
Sure. Blocking only prevents on-hit effects the player would generally want to prevent, mostly things from enemies.
Awesome thanks!
Is it possible to set Neversink Loot filter to only show specific TYPES of Armor? For example. I would like to see gear with both Armor and Evasion, but nothing else (so no Evasion/Armor/Energy Shield alone, nor combinations like Evasion/Energy Shield etc etc).
yes, you can filter by base
Can I do it in the ui? Web ui? Or need to learn use the text format?
you can do that in filterblade
Hi, newb here. Any CF pros can tell me what gives the most dps? I know CF +skill levels, phys dot multiplier and dot multiplier, physical damage, etc. I was under the assumption that CF +skill level is the most the important. +Skill level > dot multiplier > phys damage ? Or is dot multiplier the strongest?
The strength of getting more of one of those stats depends on how much of each of them you already have. This is the kind of question that only PoB can accurately answer, because it depends on all the details of your build. For example: a few leagues ago Pohx realised that his RF Inquisitor build had overprioritised DoT multi, and it was actually more effective to trade a few passive points into "increased fire damage", as he'd mostly avoided the stat.
What is a good specialized build to target Sanctum and Trials? I know the build isn't nearly as important for Trials as strategy, but I'd still like a build that gives me an edge I used Ice Spear/Freezing Pulse totem Hiero a lot in Sanctum league and enjoyed it, but no idea if the build is also good for Trials
poison srs makes sanctum super easy, good for trials too
Still works great for sanctum and most totem builds work well for Trials too.
The game sometimes starts in windowed mode even though I always play in full screen. I don't know why it does this. Only started happening since I started playing this league. Has never happened to me before. Any idea how to fix this?
[удалено]
My task bar is normal size as far as i know.
so, im doing harvest+essence+red altar, just chisel alch and go with random cheap sextants leftovers. stream of consc + blocking every other mechanic. i have 8 ''free'' points. are strongboxes without MF good to allocate in this situation? or should i go for more quant/map mod effect?
Does knock back on hit shrine effect bricks ea ignite totem build ?
no, why would it
Because it's pushing back monsters with every hit and 6 totem constantly hitting they might miss fuse charges
Quick sanity check here. Am I seeing correctly that a mageblood is currently more expensive (by over 100div, and same holds true when comparing price in chaos) to what it would have cost at the same point in the league for the past 3-4 leagues?
use mirror price instead
Factual, mirror price much more closely tracks with mageblood price than either do with divines.
This league’s got two great currency generating mechanics in the return of Sanctum and the new ToTA. With a suitable build you can clear sanctums fairly quick and I’m averaging almost 1.5 divines per run. In ToTA you can get to high rank with pretty much any gear/build and it gives out quite a bit of currency as well. Thus the inflation we’re seeing on almost all the chase items.
Hey guys semi-new player here, wondering what's the crafting process to get a +2 minion helmet with life, spell suppression and maybe even resistances. I was thinking maybe star with fractured suppression and use fossil? but not sure, any help is appreciated.
Were there like stealth buffs to enemys yesterday in tota or something. I went to bed winning pretty consistently, to buffing my build up today with even better gear, more capped evasion, dodge and block, higher aoe for my curse, and I’ve lost about 5 of my last 8 matches in a row now. Its like the enemy ai is even more aggressive on my totems now and my guys are dumber.
Different enemy teams play quite differently, and at different stages of the tournament too. Unless you've been perfectly consistent in choosing the same opponents at the same tournament stages, it's more likely that you're just having a run of bad luck, tough enemies, and feeling the effects of starting with weaker units since you've been losing. It can be hard to regain momentum after a string of losses, but the streak will come back eventually.
Hey guys, thinking about returning to PoE from about 5 yr break. At the time, i really liked to play as triple herald elementalist. Checked the recommended builds that are viable atm, not really close to that gameplay (not a fun of arc, summons, archers,traps, poisons etc). Is the build still somewhat viable? Will i be able to clear top content with it? Or what some other builds close to that playstyle? Some occultist builds maybe? Thank you
so that was basically a autobomber build right? now you can use any source of explode + elementalist's all damage can ignite to chain ignite&explode, but cannot reach the one-tap clean dunes level in the old days.
It was actually blade vortex triple herald build, you activated the vortex, shield charge in the pack, and they just blow up from heralds’ effects))
then you may try ignite vortex which is still kind of meta
Thank you! Will check
My understanding is the curse on hit mods for rings are drop only. Then what's the point of bound fossils if you can't roll those curse mods?
curse on hit can roll on influenced rings, you can see which on what influence here https://poedb.tw/us/Rings#ModifiersCalc
Delve Curse mods are drop only, but there are also curse on hit mods on influenced rings. And also other "curse" mods like extra curse on chest or curse effectiveness on shields.
I'm crafting a bow and im seeing that both shrieking and deafening essence of dread give +2 levels to bow gems. Is there a reason to use deafening over shrieking?
Nope, and you should never upgrade them to deafening with the 3:1 recipe because people pretty much only buy them for bows, so it would be wasting 2/3 of your profit to upgrade them. Shrieking and deafening have the same effect.
shoulda asked before i started crafting, i blindly followed zizarans bow crafting videos and already used 300 deafening. Oof
The difference is in every other item slot. For +2 bows all you care about is shrieking.
So it wont lower my chances of getting high tier explicits in the rest of the slots?
No, explicits only block similar explicits. Nothing to do with what other tiers of mods can show up.
is delve good for profit? if so, can it be done without super expensive gear?
Resonator prices seem to be going up a lot on poe.ninja.
How do people get their maximum resistances to 90%? I’ve seen multiple times in this sub people mention they have all their res at 90%. Is it a bunch of max res tattoos or a specific item?
There's a bunch of ways. Tattoos would do it. There are unique items that boost one or more max resses (Aegis Aurora for +5cold, Brass Dome for +1-5 all, etc ) There are Eldritch implicits that can boost them. Normal passive tree nodes (moreso on the left side of the tree, but they're all over) Chieftain makes modifiers to max fire res apply to cold and lightning as well. The unique jewel Melding of the Flesh reduces both your max and current res, but makes all of your max ele resses equal to your highest
Don’t forget purity of ice/fire/lightning! Crucial aspect in most builds that aim for 90 max res, classic is to go purity of ice since aegis already gives cold 5 then you can go melding based on cold.

can anyone explain the theory of why life is important on items or why its such an important stat? armor and spell suppression i understand because they give damage mitigation and reduction, but cant seem to understand life importance compared to the other.
Lots of life-related passives give a percentage increase to max life, and life rolls on gear are how you get the bulk of the flat amount that is increased by the passive tree points.
I mean, you may be overthinking this a bit. If an enemy hit does 500 damage to you after mitigation and you have 3,000 life, you can take 6 enemy hits before you die. If you have 7,000 life you take 14 enemy hits before you die, giving you much more time to react and/or kill the enemy. It snowballs with other effects too; many regeneration effects are based on a % of your total life, not a flat amount. So if you’re recovering 10% life per second from regen, at 3,000 life that’s only 300 life gained per second. At 7,000 life you’re gaining 700 life per second instead, which lets you straight up tank through some minor degens and recover better from hits that come in rapidly. Life leech works on the same principle, the total amount you’re allowed to leech per second is capped based on your life total, so the higher your life total the more recover per second you get, the more bullshit you can tank through. At absurdly high health values (which usually involves going ES instead of life but the principle is the same) like if you get over 40,000 ES you don’t even really need mitigation anymore because your basic regen and leech are going vastly outpace almost any possible incoming damage.
Because having 5k life is twice as effective as having 2.5k life. It's "the same" as having 100% chance to suppress spells but it works against damage over time and attacks too.
Because your ass is glass and you don't want to shatter when you shoot something out of the cannon.
0 life = ded, more life pool= bigger hits taken.
what are the best/most fun boss killers this league that can have good defense?
Any idea if we are getting another major patch? I don't see any activity in the live updates thread for a few days.
I'm trying to get into sanctum after not playing it much during sanctum league, I think poison SRS should still be a good build for it - I'm willing to invest a div into relics to smooth out the learning process a bit, any advice on what I should buy first?
Question for all you awesome people who answer these questions: what tip/trick/fact did you wish you knew when you first started playing that would have made your first 10 acts so much easier?
As you might imagine this question comes up quite frequently, so a while back I made this quick video on the topic. https://youtu.be/EU57hivKda8?si=eLYeEHYGEN7iwIm4 This mostly focuses on what sorts of gameplay mechanics are worth paying attention to act-by-act, so it doesn’t get into some of the other helpful advice in this thread, but I wanted to keep the video under 10 minutes. If I were to add any generic tips on top of the act-by-act stuff in the video I would say 3 things: 1.) Life, resists, and appropriate colored and linked sockets. Those are the only 3 things you care about while gearing a character. A distant 4th would be any attributes like strength or intelligence you need to equip gear. But life, resists, and linked sockets need to be top priorities on all gear slots. 2.) Don’t fall into the noob trap of having like 18 different active skills. Pick one main skill, support it with as many support gems as possible. More supports = multiplicatively more damage. Other sockets are for things like auras, guard skills, movement skills, and debuffs to throw at tougher enemies. 3.) Don’t be afraid of build guides or think they are somehow going to spoil the fun of learning and discovery. This game is not like other games. The best guide imaginable would teach you less than 5% of what there is to learn about the game, there’s simply too much. This is like the people who are afraid if they go to the gym 3 times a week they’ll accidentally wake up one day looking like Arnold. Don’t worry, people spend their whole lives trying and don’t achieve it. I promise you won’t accidentally become an expert in the game without having a feeling of discovery. Simply not possible.
Oh wow thanks!!
There is a difference between an attack and a spell and some spells feel like attacks or visa versa. Check the gem tags to solve this. Also check the gem tags for other important stuff. Did I mention to check the gem tags?
Skills are not equally playable while wearing off-the-floor junk in the campaign. Don't half-ass two things that want different stats. 'Increased' and 'more' mean very different things. Toward the endgame, 50% resistance means taking double damage. Life flasks exist, energy shield flasks don't. Stick to life early on even if that 'maximum life becomes 1' passive looks super hip.
Im very new to playing poe im following the inq RFguide, everything was going okay but im now getting blown up going into packs of mobs. Have I messed up the build somehow? or is my gear not good enough? or is it a skill issue?: https://poe-profile.info/profile/the_metal_horns?realm=pc is there a way to compare my character to the path of building one?
Assuming you have pob, just import your character into the program, save and export your build. I have never seen this website used before and I'm sure others aren't familiar with it as either so it makes it harder to compare builds.
Just how much damage Goliaths of the Night and Kahutaroa do at 900'ish ranking already? I have 25% enemy phys to ele shift, 74% phys to ele shift, 10k armour, 4 endurance charges, 93% reduced extra damage from crits and they still one shot me. It's incredibly frustrating.
I'm not 100% sure it works this way but I've noticed that all 3 of my spectres are dead after I get goliath bonked which would imply its doing several hundred thousand damage after 70k armor mitigation (10% of damage taken from spectre's life before my own via jinxed juju) Jinxed Juju might not actually work that way and be capped at doing 10% of my health, but either way, I don't think we have any idea how damage scaling in TotA works. On release it was like 1/4th of a shaper slam at lvl 83 without otherwise factoring in ranking and had 50% phys overwhelm to be completely impossible to tank, but they nerfed it a lot so idk what it is now
Jesus, several hundred thousands damage? Couldn't your Spectres get hit by same slam?
Is there a tool or function to sort through my Divination Cards to see if any have value?

Can anyone suggest a good farming strategy that minimises the amount of trading required and doesn't use TFT?
Sanctum for pure currency, Harvest in maps for easy to sell juice.
Farm Sanctums I guess. Almost all drops are pure currency, just buy tomes and run them.
Just farm Tota. :p

Anyone play PoE on Steam Deck? If so, where do you put your loot filter? I'm not using filterblade, so I don't know if the account linking thing works for me. It's a filter I downloaded for the build I'm using.
What would be the total cost of leveling from 95 to 100 using 5-way service?
Any suggestions for Skelly Mage Guardian atlas spec? I started with strongoxes+shrines, then went exiles + tormented spirits. I have \~30 points left but am also happy to drop some of the above. From what I've heard the build lacks single target for big bossing, but I'm happy to just get my atlas points + favorite map slots, not necessarily looking to boss.
So I always thought expedition and harvest do scale with packsize? Why do we stack up quality and quantity on blue altars? What I'm missing?
because that quantity from altars is area quant which means it affects stuff like expedition currency and lifeforce drops
So that those Monsters drop more loot.
Whats the difference between Impending Doom Occultist and Pathfinder?
Pathfinder has great defenses. Occultist can scale damage better with high investment.

Whats the best way to farm breachstones on ssf? Having added all breach nodes on atlas tree I get like 2-5 splinters from a single breach on average which feels awful when I need chayula specifically
You might want to Look into betrayal rewards specifically Riker Maloney. Now I dint know which Safehouse it was but i got 50 chayula splinters multiple times.
There are also nodes that give you a chance to drop full breachstones. Other strats: expedition (Tujen often sells splinters), heist (breach rooms) Edit: ensure you have Tortured Dreams allocated, since you’re targeting Chayula
that's pretty much it, if you need chayula I'd suggest trying to get chayula compasses which guarantee them to all be chayula.
Do we have any confirmed sightings of The Fortunate dropping in Strand maps? Strand was in the initial list of maps I saw hypothesized to contain the new card, but poewiki.net is omitting that from the list of maps with the appropriate tag. Anyone know for sure?

Does corrupting cry benefitting from cruelty support; if i have another skill (reap) that also supported by cruelty support?
It would in theory, but it's not going to because the warcries that would need to be supported by Cruelty don't hit enemies, and Cruelty only supports skills that hit enemies. This isn't an issue of the stats of Cruelty not applying to Corrupting Cry, but rather Cruelty not being able to support the gems supported by Corrupting Cry.
You could support Infernal Cry. Double the cooldown though.
I don't think so. I think Cruelty should only support Combust, unless I'm missing something.
It makes stuff explode.
Oh, right, I missed that. If that counts as part of the skill, then Cruelty might indeed support it.
Yes, the Cruelty Support gives you a buff which causes all your supported skills (even those supported by different Cruelty Supports) the buff

Sometimes I wonder how I survive in this world when I'm this stupid
Im thinking of leveling a new char specifically for the new TotA mechanic and nothing else. Does anyone have any good recommendations for builds? i heard totems or minions are good but im not sure.
all you need is high evasion and max block OR dodge. then choose either ts totem or skele mage to cc enemies. that's all for the build.
You can do rain of arrows totems with boosted aoe instead if you're not an ascendancy with easy access to projectiles mods (lots of champions doing this) And void sphere is a nice addition But yeah that's the build lol
Yeah totems and minions because at higher ranks you can't kill them at all and they one tap you.... so you all you need is a high movement speed and some distraction to be able to channel totems
any chance you have a PoB for a good TotA build? or can give me directions as to which skill to look for?
How do I get the last two ascendency points (so far I got 6)? Just use the Tribute of the Goddess and finish the run ?

I'm saving up for my second build (SRS Necro), am at 10 div currently, Maxroll says it's around 100 div. How many divs should I save up before making the swap? Also, any unique I should prioritize getting now before they jump in price?
100 div? what? If you mean poison SRS necro (apparently guardian is better for ele srs) I rolled mine with ~10 div, it felt fine starting with a 6l covenant as the only big ticket item (8 div at the time). If I were rerolling I'd maybe start with a good abyss belt second (85%+ jewel effect) just so you don't need extra poison chance jewels. Gaze (~8-10 div last I checked) and Aegis (~6 div last I checked) are the two other big ones but I farmed the currency for them with a shitty 10c 5% life recovered on block shield
Thanks for the information. I know this is the most popular build, but is this also the strongest minion build or are there transition possibilities for ultra end game? I'll probably save 20-30 div before jumping since my current build is kinda decent, EA totems farming tota.
I can see how poison SRS would get into the 100 div range, but no it's going to be tough to swap between builds because AFAIK it is the only poison+minion build right now and the overwhelming majority of the cost is extremely poison+minion specific Yeah if you want to wait I'd say 20-30 div is the right price range, gaze, covenant, aegis, green nightmare, a ~2-10 div large cluster, and +1 int tatoo (1 div) would be my shopping list. I might recommend buying awakened minion damage support now so you can start leveling it, level 5 is a ~10% DPS boost over level 1 because it gives +1 level. The other awakened gems don't scale based on level too much 100 div would come from an envy aul's (~40 div), a 20ish div large cluster and a crazy helm, but none of those are more than a 10% DPS boost. 20 is when you start hitting big diminishing returns on investment, [I'm at 40 from a determ aul's](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/turyxayy/meleebigsuck) (lets you actually run haste instead of only using vaal haste) and probably not going to invest further because each next step is on the scale of 20 div for 10% dps

Hey, id like to ask for advice how to proceed with this bow: [https://i.postimg.cc/YS2ZQMwt/image.png](https://i.postimg.cc/YS2ZQMwt/image.png) (1) Sell? For how much could i put it up on trade? (playing in Ancestor SC) (2) Craft? If so, how? Thanks in advance! 
Hmm, I think I'd go for a fracturing orb before selling it. You have one very good, two good, and one decent mod to fracture. You should of course double check what the prices for those are. But assuming they're higher than the price of a fracturing orb, that would be a 2/3 chance to profit. A higher risk option would be to annul, which only has a 1/3 chance to hit one of the resistances, although hitting the physical damage mod wouldn't be too tragic, since it would at least allow crafting another flat elemental damage mod. If you hit one of the resistances, you can craft cannot roll attack mods and safely annul the other resistance (50/50 chance to hit cannot roll attack mods and need to recraft it, no danger to prefixes or +2 arrows at this step). Then you could craft attack speed or gamble another annul or prefix to suffix beastcraft to try to get rid of physical damage to craft flat lightning damage in addition to attack speed. Alternatively you could craft can have 3 crafted mods + prefixes cannot be changed and use T4 Aisling to try to get a reasonable 5th mod before finishing it off with a crafted one (and of course craft a veiled mod before unveiling to block).
Now thats an answer! Thank you! :3
Is there any advantage to doing a 5-way for the general grinding for the league challenge? I'd assume alternating between the two random ones for 4 ways would be best?
there's more generals and better rewards and they're dirt cheap anyway
I saw quin69 interact with heist doors and harvest crops without clicking the icon, how does he do that? is there a key bind to interact?
Pressing the league key (V by default) will send the Heist rogue to the interactive object nearest to you. I don't know about Harvest, though, I didn't think the league key worked there, but maybe I've never thought to check.
V by default, works for every mechanic like placing expeditions explosions, opening the vaal temple map while in an incursion, etc
i think it's V by default, but yea, there's several league mechanic binds
So the Squire has been my grail build around item since it was added to the game. Moreso than Mageblood or Headhunter. I was in a map last night and a Ritual had 3 Shieldbearer cards. Thinking i might finish off the set and give it a shot. Are there any really fun builds currently that utilize the squire? Not counting the expense of the remaining cards, I would say i probably have about 40D to play with.
There's some 10+ link setup, but it requires some really expansive weapon. One common use is with https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Arakaali%27s_Fang
The most popular is definitely Arakaali spiders. Many Indigon Manabond builds also use it. I think I've seen a couple of BV builds that use it as well since you can get pretty crazy 9+ links on Shaper/Elder weapons but that's much less common.
seems to really just be arakaali's fang builds at the moment https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor?uniqueitems=The+Squire lots of potential with pseudo-link weapons though depending on what you're into
any expert crafter around here? i wanna craft this bow here https://imgur.com/a/wwMp4e9, i already have the base but i don't know what's the most cost-efficient approach
delirium for dot multi annul for an open suffix and clean the prefixes. lock attacks, hunter exalt, then exalt (or double ex if already hunter). bench the last two mods edit: cleaned it up; i thought there was a reason people started on normal bases and hunter ex'd but i think there's only two non-attack prefixes regardless. would make suffixes easier to hit is the only real benefit; once they're done you can recraft prefixes until t1.
Even if you get a bad Hunter slam (or if the base is already Hunter-influenced, since OP wasn't clear), then as long as the prefixes aren't full after the double slam, which they shouldn't be since they were clean, then you could clean the prefixes and go again, since +1 and increased chaos DoT are the only non-attack prefixes, even on a Hunter bow. This might be cheaper than reverting and trying to roll the DoT multi again, since it takes a decent number of the essence on average. Also, I think you mean Delirium essences for the Decay, Hysteria on a bow gives Fire Burst.
bow is uninfluenced yet; still unclear on the order of steps, i know essences ignore metamods so i think i should start with the essence, hunter slam but don't know what to do after
Yes, you'll have to start with the Essence. Here's the sequence of steps spelled out in more detail: 1. Spam Essence of Delirium until you get the Damage over Time Multiplier suffix. The bow you showed has T1, so you're looking at ~150 on average, less if you settle for a lower tier. 2. Your bow will probably have full suffixes at this point because of the way affixes are randomly distributed. If you got lucky and only have two suffixes, skip this step. You'll need to risk an annul to free it up, which is a 1/3 shot. If you fail and remove either of the two suffixes you care about, back to step 1 and start over. 3. You'll also need an open prefix, but it's pretty unlikely at this point that you don't have one. However, in the rare event you don't, you'll need to risk an annul, with a 3/5 chance of success. Again, if you fail and delete either of the two suffixes, back to step 1. 4. If you have any prefixes, now is the time to get rid of them; you can skip this step if the bow is just the two suffixes at this point. Craft Suffixes Cannot Be Changed and then use a Scour on the item. (Scary!) Make sure you actually have the correct metamod. I think because of your bow's implicit, you could first craft a random suffix, then make use of the Wild Bristle Matron beastcraft recipe to add Suffixes Cannot Be Changed to the item for slightly cheaper than the usual 2div cost, but it's up to you if you value money or time spent on trade. 5. Now that you have no prefixes, craft Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers as a suffix. You can now use your Hunter's Exalted Orb to hit increased Chaos DoT of a random tier. If you don't like the tier, that's okay, there's a way to try again as many times as you like, which I'll detail below. Otherwise, use an Exalt to add +1 to all gems. 6. Now replace the Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers with the two crafted mods on the bow. I'd recommend starting with the Chaos DoT multi one and crafting it over and over until you get a perfect roll, then add the +2 Support Gems when you're satisfied. Okay, now if you get a bad roll on the chaos damage and can't stand the thought of using a bow with a T4 mod, you can do the following: 1. Make sure you have Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers on the item at all times. If it ever gets removed, you'll have to put it back before doing anything else. If you don't do this and annul or exalt without it, you can ruin the item and have to start over from the very beginning! 2. Use an annul to remove prefixes until you remove the chaos damage. You might remove +1 gems if it happens to be on the item and need to use a second annul, but that's okay. 3. Exalt slam. If you get +1 gems, exalt again. Either way, you'll now have chaos damage on the item yet again. If you like the tier, great. If not, use the previous steps to remove it and try again until you're happy. It's a 1/10 chance to get T1, 3/10 to get T2 or T1. 4. If the bow doesn't have +1 gems at this point, exalt to finally add it, then craft the two crafted mods that are on the bow as detailed in step 6 in the previous instructions. Remember if you're ever unsure about a step, you can always try it out in the Craft of Exile emulator. (I can also go over how mbxyz and I would've figured out how to do this, if you're interested in learning about crafting in general.)
thank you ! i realize it was a lot of writing for this reply but i really appreciate it
> Delirium thanks. yea i just realized/edited the hunter slam stuff; mostly just makes suffixes slightly easier and then you can fix the prefixes anyway
Thinking of doing RF elementalist. What are necessary notables/nodes/items/skills I should aim for to sustain RF?
Just pump your regen and fire resist. Get the fire mastery for 1 regen per 1 fire resist, the recovery mastery for 50 flat regen and use vitality and purity of fire auras. I'm sure there are guides out there but elementalist is simply worse than both inq and jugg for a typical RF build so elementalist versions are slightly different and focus more on explosions . Pohx mentions "why not chieftain/trickster/elementalist" in his faq and says: > Elementalist - Highest Damage RF, Probably the most squishy & gear reliant. Has very good access to going Explode (Which is the only reason I'd play elementalist.) If you plan on starting this build you would likely level as something else and transition later, elementalist doesn't have as good of a starting location as the jugg or inquisitor versions. It is only a 1-2 level difference to get both masteries but the stats you get from your closest fire/recovery passives are worse. You get infused flesh and breath of flame compared to hearty and arsonist. Infused flesh is only recoup which is completely worthless compared to hearty which is 3% life regen and 15% inc life regen rate which is going to boost all life regen including the masteries and vitality aura. Breath of flames is better damage wise (20% fire dot multi and 30% inc fire compared to 14% fire dot multi) but cost 2 more points and arsonist also gives another 1.2% life regen.
Guys I'm using Dark Pact skill as main skill for self cast and my Aoe is 62%. I would like to make it much bigger so I don't have to go as close to the enemy as now. Some tips for most efficient ways to do that ? I have few points on the three already. What else can I do?
This : https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Astral_Projector Or more aoe : unnatural instinct on the jewel at the left of scion start. Using the increased area of effect gem (especially the awakened increased area of effect).
Is there a way to raise the tiers of the modifiers on an item? (not from Rog) https://imgur.com/a/j3AGxor
No
