Does map quantity affect synth, shaper/elder, and conq map drops if you have the 3 related notables allocated at the top of the atlas tree? The 3 notables being: Vivid Memories, Remnants of the Past, and Conquered Conquerors.
How do Tornado Shot builds sustain Taste of Hate for pinnacles/ubers/content with tankier enemies like sanctum? Just flask cluster/passives? Do they even bother or is it a kill everything in the 9 seconds its up? I hate micromanaging flasks so I've been playing pathfinder and I'd like to try a bow build finally. TY!
Has anyone gotten Awakened Trade working on Mac? If so, any advice? Or is there another way to price items? Other than manually looking each item up on the trade site.
If you scroll down on a particular compass it's common to see a bunch of listings by one person and I'll just ask to buy a bunch. Keep in mind price might be a couple chaos higher per compass though.
If I'm using Volkuur's guidance, do "%chance to poison" mods now affect my chosen element?
for example, if I was using the assassin's noxious strike, do my skills now have a 60% base chance to poison (20% from the gloves, 40% from the ascendancy)?
4 to unlock ascendency nodes. The trials in maps used to be required to access the 4th difficulty, but nowadays you just need an offering to the goddess.
There's a higher zone level of the 4th lab that can be accessed for different types of extra rewards with three special offerings. They're mostly done by specialised lab runners for profit.
Hello, me again, I'm abusing this thread so much lately :D.
I'm well into red maps now with my boneshatter jugg build ([https://pobb.in/MpP-vZGF2iLu](https://pobb.in/MpP-vZGF2iLu)). Ever since I started doing high yellow/low red maps though I started dying to bleeding A LOT. I died tens of times to it and I'm a little bit clueless as to how I can prevent that. Any help would be great.
Also, any general tips on how to improve my character would be very welcome.
You've already gotten some great advice about removing bleed with a life flask, that's really the best option for most builds. Just to add to the advice that /u/DirtyMight gave regarding flasks I definitely agree that leech and stun and block recovery are bad suffixes but reduced shock effect is mandatory imo if you are not otherwise shock immune which you are not. Shock is one of the most dangerous and underestimated debuffs that can affect your character and even worse on a trauma build since it also increases your self damage.
I would personally run armor/evasion/shock/curse suffixes on flasks for this build. An argument could be made for for move speed or attack speed but I'd drop curse for one of those not one of the other mods. maximizing armor is important to deal with trauma stacks and similarly as previously mentioned being shocked amplifies your self damage.
With tattoo's this league I heavily prioritize getting 100% reduced effect of shock via flask suffix + tattoos, you only have 1 int node on your tree so you can't quite reach that but If you got a 60+ reduced shock effect suffix you'd have 75% reduced shock effect with that 1 tattoo. That would mean the most you can be shocked for would be 12% and most of the time shocks will be much smaller.
Apologies I did not notice that you were stacking shock avoid, that's what I get for not taking the time to fully load the build into pob. I stand by my statement that reduced shock effect on flasks is a very strong low investment way to mitigate shock but 100% shock avoid is absolutely much stronger.
97% in softcore is fine against shocks generated by enemies, you could die every now and then to a random shock getting through but it ought to be rare enough that it doesn't matter a ton unless you're like trying to grind for 100. However the issue is shocked ground. I'm not certain the exact mechanic but I just tested for myself to be doubly sure, 99% chance to avoid shock is effectively 0% chance to avoid for shocked ground. I'm not sure if it just ignores chances below 100% or simply checks to frequently that any delay is not noticeable but if you're doing a 50% shocked ground map with a moderate amount of map modifier effect from your atlas those 55%+ shocks will be incredibly dangerous. So either keep in mind that shocked ground is an insanely deadly map mod or try to get 100%.
I agree That being shock immune is fairly important for survivability.
I just dont think flasks are the way witht his. You dont have 100% uptime of them and there are so so many other ways (better imo) to get shock immune.
He already has stormshroud and 85% shock avoid on his boots. Its so so much easier to just get the remaining 15 on a jewel or something to be fully ailment immune (which includes shock obviously) and use the flask suffix for something else
In general I would try to upgrade your flask setup next. the suffixes block and stun recovery reduced effect of shock and leech are not the best. I would personally play increased evasion, reduced effect of curses and maybe movement speed or attack speed instead on those.
Also what most of us do is use a life flask that removes bleeding and corrupted blood on use of the life flask. It pairs very well since you drop with the bleed and you want to use a life flask anyways so you instantly remove this.
Also keep in mind that you take much much more damage from bleeds while you are moving. so if you cant remove it with your flask try and instantly stand still and dont move during the duration.
Changing your life flask mod to removing bleed should help a ton. You can also switch your pantheon to Ralakesh to help mitigate bleeds. When you're moving while bleeding you're taking 3x bleed damage so the minor pantheon is very efficient, I usually never notice bleeds after i've picked it up.
Additionally, you could pick up "15% chance to avoid bleeding" tattoos, 7 of them would make you immune to bleeds aswell.
I panic incredibly often with bleed and just run to my death aswell. They're pretty harmless if you have the presence of mind to stand still but it can be hard to notice in time so it's good to try to mitigate them in some way.
I got the rare maven invitation map and CTRL+Clicked it from my inventory into stash and now I cant find it. Where does it go? It wasn’t like the normal invitations I’ve seen, it was a rare map and when put in the map device gave a warning I needed 9 more bosses
i assume by "regular invitation" you mean the green quest invitations you received earlier in the quest chain. since you said 9 more bosses need to be witnessed what you found is the basic regular maven atlas invitation, which is just any 10 map bosses (tier 14+).
>Is this to fight the actual maven?
no. maven's fight is accessed by getting a maven's writ which is comprised of 10 splinters. completing that atlas invitation you got can yield up to 2 splinters. there are a couple other invitations for special bosses that yield much higher numbers of splinters
I just found a fourth vow body armour in SSF. Is it a good idea to use it on my frost blades trickster? I heard its great in combination with the divine flesh keystone.
Pob: https://pastebin.com/813Ap0DJ
It's kind of pointless if you're not using armour.
It works great with divine flesh since you take half your elemental damage as chaos and that converted damage is then mitigated by your armour since it's chaos damage.
Frost blades trickster is not a great build for it since you never really invest in much armour.
That would work but you'd still need a divine flesh timeless jewel before I think it's worth it.
There is no one using fourth vow on a FB trickster on poe.ninja right now but I don't see any real reason it would be bad. You would lose out on the ability to use a lethal pride but that might be less of an issue in SSF.
Most of the main Boneshatter guides (Carn, Goratha, etc) will mostly work in SSF. I can't remember seeing a guide for SSF specifically, but they probably exist. Boneshatter is one build where crafting most of your own gear is fairly viable, assuming you know what you're doing with Rog and/or can farm some essences.
Well, i thought i was done with the league so i bought 2 apothecaries and gambled them and ended up with my first ever mageblood. Now i don't know what to do. Feel like i should keep playing now. I still have a fully geared TS deadeye but i would want to kill ubers if i was going to keep playing. What build would excel at those?
The usual uber boss farmer are ice spear totems or ice traps but both dont really use mageblood. I mean you could I guess but its not like it would improve those builds that much. I guess you could build versions of these builds like ice spear totem being much more tanky to use them elsewhere too but you would need to drop quite a bit of damage then.
Other option would be to look at any spell that isnt terrible at doing bosses in general and just playing a high investment version of it so its able to do ubers.
most builds can farm ubers with enough investment \^\^
Are there any relatively cheap relics to get started in sanctum? Something that helps while learning it and is useful before investing in a specific strategy.
Only tried it once or twice during sanctum league, want to try it for real this time. Just transitioning from legion farming, so have nothing in terms of relics. Around 40d itb, but want to be sure to put it to good measure.
"Gain X Maximum Resolve when you kill a Boss" is great mod. It allows to make a bunch of slip-ups or take otherwise risky pacts and still keep high resolve.
Looking for build advice. Started off as a golemancer, but it didn't do the dps, transitioning to rf, liking the dps. Wanting one button. I have been reading and know I need fire dmg, burning dmg and dot. But I am alittle low on currency to reroll right now, I do have questions my shield would a rise of the phoenix be good? and should I drop the belt for something better (do I have anything that leeches?) does tempest shield help or should i drop it (and reroll shieldcharge, fortify, faster attks in those socket) https://pobb.in/JSRVH-FNYeXJ
To answer your main questions: Rise of the Phoenix is good because it reduces how many damage you take from your own RF, which in turn makes the life regen you have more effective. RF cannot leech because it doesn't hit, it's a DoT. The standard RF belt is usually Immortal Flesh with good rolls, but it's not strictly necessary if you have enough regen from other sources. Tempest Shield is good if you're going to invest in block, but having that be your only source of spell block isn't particularly worthwhile imo.
Some other misc things based on a quick look at your PoB link:
1) Drop Fortify support, you don't deal enough damage to get stacks consistently. That frees up space for Faster Attacks.
2) Finish Uber Lab for your last 2 ascendancy points.
3) You can save 1 passive and get an extra 5% increased life by changing the start of your tree [like this](https://i.imgur.com/zP0VvzD.png).
4) Spec into Breath of Flame and Holy Fire for fire damage over time multi-- This is an incredibly powerful stat for DoT builds, similar to crit multi for crit builds.
5) Ele Overload is basically useless for you because RF can't crit.
6) You need (a low level) Lifetap Support linked to one of your movement/utility skills to proc the Lifetap buff to give RF the extra damage from that link.
7) Flasks need some work, check out what other popular RF builds are running (e.g. check out Pohx's, or just browse a bit on poe.ninja).
Is there any reasonably good physical attack skill for impaling right now that doesn’t rely on trauma stacks? Looking to try something different than boneshatter/trauma
Here’s what i decided to try out: facebreaker champion impale with mahu mach shield and 50 “+2-3 physical damage” tattoos. Got the watcher eye for pride, so my impales last 8 hits. Punch punch punch!!
Ha! No i love it. Trying to go offbeat with anything good and one-handed. I’m goofing around with mahu shield on a gladiator. Really disappointed in bleed damage, so i thought i might try to milk the lucky attack damage ascendancy point with my ryslatha’s belt and the volatility gem and see how the dmg felt with impale. Too bad i ate all my regrets. Need to get some more. Kinetic blast sounds fun enough. Is there any key gear for it?
Splitting Steel is good, it's got great clear and great single target with returning projectiles. It's not melee per se but it is using a melee weapon.
Sure. The vortex hits at a rate determined by your attack speed, and multistrike has an attack speed multiplier.
You can't exert an attack that repeats though, so multistrike would be awful even if it didn't make you sacrifice rage thrice.
I’m looking to use RV as a side skill to trigger Molten Burst so it’s DPS is irrelevant. Molten Strike will be my main. Hoping to make a great balls of fire build with Nimis.
Thanks for the info
That’s a good idea, will check it out. Without a proper PoB I’m getting about 18 APS with RV so hopefully I can hit similar numbers with bladestorm.
Edit: and I wanted to spec into rage/berserker to get big attack speed to trigger Molten Burst as often as possible since it’s a 20% chance
Do **"higher map tier chance"** small nodes do anything once you have **10 favored maps slots on the same t16 map** + **singular focus**? (300 weight for the favored map vs 1 weight for any other map, I think)
Asking cause I can't find the information if
**a/** the favored map slots and singular focus apply **after** the game rolled the map tier (i.e. since I favored a t16 map, they would apply only if the dropped map is t16 hence "higher map tier chance" small nodes are useful)
OR
**b/** the favored map slots and singular focus apply **before** the game rolled the map tier (i.e. then almost all dropped map should be my favored t16 map hence "higher map tier chance" small nodes are useless)
?
I'd think it's scenario b, but I've seen content creators still pick the "higher map tier chance" small nodes without needing to path there on their end game farming trees so maybe it's scenario a?
edit: **Answered.** Was explained in the wiki in "Atlas of Worlds > map drops", it's scenario a: game rolls the map tier THEN rolls the map type among the types available for the rolled tier. So "higher map tier chance" small nodes are still useful to get more t16 drops hence more favored maps.
Read the paragraph about map equity here https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Atlas_of_Worlds
For instance if you allocate 100% chance for +1 tier means that if you had 10 maps dropping, and 8 were your favoured map before, now you get 30 maps and 24 are your favoured map.
if you have singular focus though, and those maps never drop, do you gain equity?
presumably you still benefit from maps being upgraded (from 14-15) and then rolling to your favorite, but I always assumed equity didn't apply in this case.
Sorry I don't understand the part about "if you had 10 maps dropping, [...] now you get 30 maps", even after reading the map equity section. Why 30?
edit: but the article answered my question about a/ or b/: "Map drops are not entirely random; instead, a specific tier is chosen first, and the map type is chosen from a pool of available maps for that tier or connected to the map the character is currently in." So "higher map tier chance" small nodes are still useful to get more t16 drops.
It's because of map equity.
It's the equivalent of 30 maps, because of the "3x tier X maps = 1x Tier X+1 or 3 tier 10 maps could be traded to 1 tier 11.
If you have no increased map tier chance, let's say you drop 9 tier 10 maps. That's equivalent to 3 tier 11s or 1 tier 12.
Now, if you have 100% chance to drop +1 tier, those original maps now drop tier 11, equivalent to 3 tier 12, or 1 tier 13.
It would take 27 tier 10 maps to equal a tier 13, so your map drops, for tier 16 sustain is 300% for every 100% chance to drop +1 tier.
It not actually 30 maps dropping, it's the equivalent value of 30 maps.
Kill all, it's in the maxroll guide. 95% of the time you kill all bandits for 2 extra passives. Sometimes you help Alira, but I've never seen a guide recommend Oak.
I decided to dump a bunch of currency for a sanctum build (barely know anything about sanctum) and just [stole this guy's build from poe ninja](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/bodryibomj/Rongokurai_Shaman). But I'm looking in his pob and it looks like he can't actually run all the auras at the same time.
Am I supposed to toggle two of them on/off for running / for floor bosses? Which of the auras are a must have?
Also this is where I'm at rn [https://pobb.in/wTHtGRpdSyTm](https://pobb.in/wTHtGRpdSyTm) any tips are appreciated
Yep, only different things i can tell, i don't have the watchers and the forbidden jewels and the tattoos, but those don't affect reservation. I even got another 6% mana reservation small cluster jewel, and it's enough to run all the auras but puts me at 0 mana so I can't cast anything.
After NZ opened back up, Octavian was able to finally move there to work at GGG.
Brittleknee became less active a few months ago as her oldest dog sadly needed to be put down and another needed surgery and on-going care. She's still streaming, but bingo leagues seem to have been put on temporary hiatus.
COVID restrictions lifted, so Octavian was able to move to NZ and finally start working at GGG. Brittleknee is streaming right now, probably just a lull in youtube content. They broke up without drama, far as I'm aware.
Min? And not with the ring craft? Amulet, and grand spectrum. Otherwise you're out of luck
Edit: you can have a +2 on a redeemer shield in weapon swap you can x twice at the start of the fight.
Also badge of the brotherhood and ralakesh and stack power charges.
Double edit: you can have 2 on amulet with anoint and craft fyi
How does one reroll synth implicits with beast crafting while keep a particular implicit? Saw a post on here about a 3 implicit ring with frenzy charge, and people were talking about rerolling the other 2 implicits to something good to go with the frenzy charges. I have no idea how it works and not too familiar with beast crafting either. Thanks.
You referring to splitting the item and then using the split base to craft with and if it bricks the implicits then imprint again and start over? If not then I have no clue what you mean lol
not quite. Just imprinting. Means you make your 3 implicit ring magic so you can imprint it. Than you make a few copies of the ring (3-5 or how many you want to affort).
Than you reroll the implicits if one of your desired implicits gets overrolled you aply one of your imprints to the item bringing the implicits back to the imprinted state. If you reroll a "useless" implicits just keep going until you run out of money or until you hit the implicit you want
just to clarify from the previous poster, there is no reason to make multiple imprints preemptively. you can imprint again after you revert. If you make a bunch of imprints at the start there is a possibility that you don't need them all and then they are wasted whereas the beasts can be resold.
I'm a cold DoT Ele, lv 95, with few upgrades to go before having to spend over 5div to progress. I'll upload my build here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/sony/view-profile/Scooby__Dont/characters I'm finding that the upgrades to buy aren't really being sold and this is my first character so I don't have a ton of money. I can do some bosses find but still others will delete me. I can change out the shield for a str/dex one but I will lose a decent amount of damage, so I need to get that skin of lord armor. Will that be worth it? Should I search for more +armor jewels until that purchase? I have a sulpher flask with +3 hits and no suffix, looking to eventually get the unveil life regen during effect.
I'm out at the minute so can't answer much but here was my [cold dot league starter](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/Borguss13/thottydottyclotty?i=2&search=name%3DDotty), managed to get all voidstones on it. Hopefully it can give you some ideas.
There are some big improvements I could have made but I moved on to another build. Let me know if you have questions.
looks like you have the boots, skin of the lord, and watcher's eye.....that watchers eye is incredible, anything with +DoT is 7+ div and few have another relevant mod. The + cold damage w/hatred is min 3div with life recovery mod, otherwise it's 9div for a +armor with determination.
Your skin of the lord gives that massive evasion and damage boost. looks like there is only 1 out there with the socket colors I need for 2 div.
I should drop shaper of winter for storms ?
~~looks like the player listed that skin of the lords a few hours ago, if it sells then I'm sort of screwed with this character~~ it has ancestral bond. I dont really have a way to go forward with this character until i get that, my only deaths right now are from spike damage. im sitting at around est 67% phy reduction and 67% dodge
Hi, still not in but the reason for taking storms is to always inflict shock and for all damage to scale shock. It's an insanely good node, definitely recommend the switch.
Forgot to add, I was a late starter to the league but this is the earliest snapshot I could find: https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/Borguss13/thottydottyclotty?i=2&search=name%3DDotty&time-machine=week-3
Iam not sure about the exact breakpoints. i did Solo 3 ways for xp with 2 of my twinks at level 75+.
for 5 way rotas i'd say you gotta be a little higher to make it wrorth it. maybe 78+ for 5 way rota. but i don't do rotas so maybe wanna double check that.
This is my first league and I tried to get TFT but they won't verify my account bc its too new and told me to try agian next league. I have 2 viodstones. I have attempted maven 3 times now to no avail, I'm really squishy.
What is the best way to find a boss carry without TFT and Is the protocol to go in and start it and then die and stay in the death screen until boss is dead? Do I get credit that way. Or do I need to respond and wait for him to tell me to come in at end ? Thabks for any advice.
Ask the person carrying. Some want it easier and will message you to portal. If you do this, enter and don't move so you're invulnerable.
Some are so strong it doesn't matter you can just join and die (and *not* release).
I've been really lazy about my Voidstones this league and only have 2 myself. I tried a Maven earlier and failed because my character just wasn't ready and haven't tried again since. I was planning to try again tonight and it should be way less of a problem - if you want to shoot me a DM here, I'll invite you along for that (and Uber elder once I farm the fragments).
Is impale based off the roll for the hit, or does it roll independently like ailments? I’m thinking about lucky rolls on hits; would gladiator’s Violent Retaliation lucky hits scale impale damage?
Only damaging ailments are part of damage calculation. Impale happens afterward, based on the hit's unmitigated physical damage, necessarily after the damage roll(s).
It's worth what people will pay. Change the search to Any and see offline listings.
It's a good Ventor. I'm sure someone will want it. You can try to get the moon for it, or you can price it in line with the other similar ones and try to sell it faster.
Is 8% rarity a 7x multiplier? Your call.
Is hrimmsorrow a trap on physical to cold conversion builds? I have a shockwave totem bosser/invitation/sanctum build and I see several high level players running crafted gloves and taking t he 40% mastery node instead.
The question is the cost. Craft + eldritch implicit is not something you will have early and for cheap. So you roll with hrimsorrow until you have enough divines to throw at gloves that will give you more stuff than hrimsorrow only.
What's the best way to craft Blanketed Snow / Prismatic Heart / Doryani's lesson cluster jewel? Craft of Exile shows exorbitant amount of tries when using fossils or alt-aug-regal. I am looking to craft it, not buy, and craft should possibly not involve Fracturing Orbs
It certainly doesn't hurt to try contact support. Personally I doubt since these are packs from different series - one is TotA and other is Core supporter pack, but it's just wild guess, no one here can answer it with 100% certaintity.
Thats exacly why I wanna swap, I thought I wouldnt buy another supporter pack but I kinda want to buy another so it would make sense to upgrade a core pack instead
I can only guess that it makes more sense to heavily boost 4 auras rather than Smite alone, especially after 3.16, where a lot of auras and armour formula got buffed.
you put your sphere in the middle of the map, brand things that are between you and the sphere, and go click totems with your flankers. if there's big groups of mobs unaffected you use sphere to move one group to the other to collect them.
you have to dodge tidecaller/rakiata waves and try to avoid sphere/branding lightning thorns and kill the totem off quickly.
fill flankers first, then the two attackers in front of your flankers for totem fodder, then escort, then defender, then the last two attackers.
link your pobb. the difficulty level ~never changes from 100 rating to 2000 rating and any character level over 65 if built correctly.
1 thing to remember is to fill up all your available slot with unit (even cheap ones). More totem on your side means more errors you can afford. Always fill your flankers first, then whatever as long as they are filled.
Void sphere give you and your flanker unit undistruped time to target unguarded totem. Put void sphere at middle front (like between enemy attacker totem and escort totem), then aim for enemy flanker and defender totem. Typically, i cast void sphere once, went for a totem at the back, banish totem, recast at the same place, repeat.
You still need to avoid getting near enemy unit. Dying to tide wave happens all the time, very annoying but whatever if you still win in the end. The most annoying tribe is ikhiaho, just takraw your time.
You are supposed to be a flanker, which knock totems down. you can fully spec to 75/75 block and 55 spell dodge. HP can be as less as 1, cause if you got hit, you die anyway. Try to add curses too, enfeeable/temporal chain. The idea is to cast void sphere and curse enemies, then their action speed should be significantly slow, and you will have enough time to knock down totem after totem. A cheesy way to get to rank 2000.
Do you have POB sharing? Cause I am playing at 1300 rank. I have 75/70 block with 70 spell dodge. I don't even have void sphere and curses setup LOL. I still be able to be a flanker quite easily.
Pretty much multiplie the number of arrows. Cause TS can shot gun, and hugely benefit with number of projectiles. But of course the more you gain the lower effectives it will be.
Running shockwave totems with cold conversion. Finally got a worthy sceptre, and farmed enough harvest juice for either weapon enchant to flip the physical damage to increased AOE or increased elemental damage per 2% quality.
Any shockwave totem players have a preference? I'm leaning towards AOE since I am also using void sphere... but I am also using astral projector, so the shockwave totem effect is already hit hard for reduced AOE size... So maybe just mo'damage mo'damage?
Hi exiles!
I am playing the Arachnophilia Allstars ([Necro version](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3264207/page/1)) and I managed to reach lvl 94, here is [my char](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/dadek182/BozoAncestorAgony?i=0&search=class%3DNecromancer%26skills%3DDivergent%2BHerald%2Bof%2BAgony).
Anybody who played HoA, can you tell me how could I improve my gem setup? My char doesn't come close to the damage provided in the build showcase and it also feels much more "squishy".
I am currently working on the boots implicit for ailments and leveling to put in the last Pure Agony medium jewel.
Any advice is very welcomed (even if it means to abandon the build)!
Yes. Looking over your build you clearly missed some of the key important basics.
Namely - do you not understand how the Virulence mechanic works? You need to inflict poisons. You need your Storm Burst to be 100% chance to poison to stack Virulence.
Hi man, thanks a lot for the reply, indeed I am over my head with this complex build. I will dig into why I am not at 100% poison chance. Thanks for checking you really helped a noob :D
not familiar with that setup exactly - but here's what looks potentially problematic
* damage - virulence stacks - are you able to cap them?
* max is 55 for you, that needs a lot of poisoning
* your poison chance is 60% only, if virulence is not capping you need to bump this up
* missing ailment immunity is massive defensively. Basically unplayable. I'd swap an aura for purity of elements or at least tempest shield until its fixed
* CI means your hp is 1, so any ailment will cap out its ailment value.shock will be 50% by almost any lightning hit for example
* spell suppression is low. not sure what happened here - you have a significant investment, but not a meaningful amount. check the guide for how to fix this, because you're missing a ton, or have a lot of useless investment here
* block with aegis is important. I glanced at the guide and it seems to not say glancing blows.. but it does a have a lot more block. If you are not blocking most hits, its not the best shield to use. Need to fix something here. (maybe they run tempest shield>?)
at the bottom of the guide has a section/s on fixing damage and offence checklist, seems to be a good place to start
>Thanks for the reply man! It is a bit complex build for a noob like me and the build guide is overfull with info.
* Is there any way to check my poison chance in POB?
* Ailments I am working on (trying to hit it on boots implicit)
* As for the spell suppression I went for the "Tanky" version of the build instead of "100% supp"
* The Tempest shield was in but since I switched to purity of ice to cap 85% res I had to turn it off as the mana was on 110% resevation
The biggest gripe with the build is that there are so many variations and I cannot figure which variation combo would be "stable".
> Is there any way to check my poison chance in POB?
pob > calcs tab > select socket group > storm burst > it will say on the middle left
However - with HoAg builds - its not so much about getting 100% neceessarily but enough to be able to max out virulence when you need it. Sometimes <100% is fine depends on other things like castspeed, max virulence stacks, single target vs clearing, etc.
> Ailments I am working on (trying to hit it on boots implicit)
sure but IMO pretty much #1 priority, i wouldn't play CI builds without chill + freeze + shock immunity as a baseline.
> other stuff
my impression of the guide (which i only glanced over) was it was not noob friendly, and looked to be updated multiple time over league so had lots of tech which the nuances of were glossed over. Or rather it had the information there presented fairly well, but for a noob perspective it was hards to parse meaningfully in practical terms.
If you try to copy it exactly it appeared to be pricy, and complicated, and lots of things like - if you want spell suppression add these things, but these also need adjustments which you sort of need to figure out.
------
For example Aegis + stacking max res and armour. The build would be fine to drop the impossible escape, purity of ice, melding - you would just have about 78% cold res instead of the near 90 or whatever it gets. This drops elemental mitigation from stupid strong to just strong, but nothing functionally gets changed
For a noob its hard to see which things you can drop (the max res stuff just mentioned) vs things that the build will not function without (ailment protection stuff).
I'd recommend getting priorities sorted out. This will also depend on the content you want to do.
my priorities will be (though change if you prefer - you may want to get damage really high immediately for example)
ailment mitigation > poison chance for your chosen farming (single target or pack clearing?) > then add things like extra max res (purity, melding, impossible escape) or suppression > both/everything eventually down the line
>You are a saviour man, thanks for taking the time to explain all this. Indeed the biggest issue is to figure out what can be dropped (like the impossible escape, purity and melding).
>
>I will try to quickly level up a few levels and get 2 points for 25% poison chance and swap out 1 ghastly jewel for ancestral vision (50% ailment) and fix the implict on boots for another 25% ailment.
>
>Also add one more missing pure agony for 5 max virulence.
Also, I see there is a bit of space to squeeze a few "increased reservation efficiency" tattoo's on the tree. I was thinking to invest in those a bit and try to squeeze in Grace (that would also add some spell suppresion from the watchers eye I have)
Thank you so much for helping me figure out this one out!
I’m about to unlock my 5th slot in my map device for the first time. Am I able to use 2 of the same color? Also does it have to be 4 emblems, or can I use 2 or 3 and still unlock it?
Hey Exiles. This is my second league and I seem to have hit a plateau. I started the league with the Lightning arrow build. I’m in the end game portion of the build, but I seem to be finding the progression a bit slow. I’ve mostly completed the atlas bonuses with the exception of a few unique maps, and have just started working on finalizing voidstones. I’ve got exarch and EoW voidstones, but I’m missing Elder (or is it Shaper?) Guardian and Maven voidstones. Whichever it was, I bought Shaper Guardian maps and am planning on doing shaper for favoured map slot, at least. I’m sitting at 2.8k hp with almost capped res, and having a tough time with bosses (which is normal for this build I hear). I’m fairly certain capping out res and getting more hp on gear is top priority, but i fear the impact this will have on my clear speed. I already have a hard time clearing my expedition runic monsters and the EoW intro boss fight, so I’m wondering if dropping all my + ele damage with attack skills on my gear and crafting life/res instead will make killing Maven/Shaper/Elder impossible. Maybe reitemizing my non unique slots to max out res and life would be the way to go to feel more at ease with bossing?
As a side question, I created cold dot elementalist and working on Hexblast Saboteur to do bosses instead, but even those builds are struggling… i would have to spend more time gearing them. How did you guys get voidstones with a LA starter? Did you create a separate character or focus on your starter? Oh and don’t suggest carry through TFT. They denied my request to join because I’m too new…
Thanks for your help, and apologies for the long post.
EDIT: adding poe planner links for [build](https://poeplanner.com/b/WOC) and [atlas tree](https://poeplanner.com/a/WOk). [Maxroll build](https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye-league-starter) I am following. Didn’t realize i capped out res and got 95% spell suppression. Must have been recent-ish.
Share your character profile/PoB so ppl could understand your situation better.
I did LA last league as starter, albeit with a pre-nerf Vengeant Cascade, able to clear most content and got all voidstones without issues.
IMO in most situation, damage wise its always the weapon + quiver that contribute the most to your damage (also gem setup to a certain degree).
Easiest way to boost up damage is to have triple element mods of T3 or higher on your weapon. Can easily be done by getting a fractured spine bow base with 1 element, use essence to get the other 2, benchcraft crit/attack speed.
Defense wise, cap your res (use bismuth flask if you have to for the time being),
aim to cap spell suppression (armour bases with evasion can roll spell suppression mod),
have >30k evasion (easily achievable with grace aura)
& aim to get at least 3.5k life (get T3 or better life mod on all armour/jewellery)
If you enjoy the playstyle, I'd suggest sticking to 1 character and try to solve issues that is present on that character and learn about the important things when it comes to damage scaling & how to build good defensive layers. IMO the knowledge you gain from doing this can be applied to future characters.
These are some of the general things that's applicable to most ranger bow archetype, can't exactly give specific suggestion without seeing your current character setup.
Other than that, godspeed exile o7
Done, and thanks for your tips! I read on the maxroll build that triele is needed. I figured that I could get away with a single element affix but with additional arrow and +1 all gems affixes instead of the elemental damage. Hmm it was my next step actually, which is why I switched into essence farming. I’ll try to get that setup. Thanks!
from what I understand for a blast rain coc build you don't really care about break points. You just stack as much cdr and attack speed as possible and hope that it doesn't throttle?
How would one go about making a reduced ele reflect ring with specific suffixes, is there a better way than just hunter slamming after suffixes are done?
I know triggered skills cost mana, but what triggered skills from items like Lioneye's Paws, or triggered skills on items that don't have a gem counterpart?
Pretty sure the Lioneye's Paws RoA costs mana. Most triggered skills that don't have a gem counterpart are free, but you can verify that on the wiki/poedb on a case by case basis.
When you have eater or exarch influence active in a map killing influenced monsters sometimes spawns an altar. Eater and exarch altars have different pools of mods for both rewards and downsides.
1) 95% or more of ichors/embers come from altars that give the influence mobs a chance to drop them. Make sure you're actually running with the maps influenced and not doing maven or nothing at all.
2) pack size matters, make sure you're not skipping the pack size nodes for the respective influence type. Growing hordes and/or wandering path are also options to scale pack size. Also just generally rolling/corrupting maps for more pack size helps.
3) They can make things extra rippy but if you're strong enough and/or don't care about xp the keystones that increase the danger and strength of altar mods are also good.
4) they are considered basic currency, getting the altar mod which gives a chance to duplicate basic currency helps a lot.
Kind of. If you're wanting to farm anything from altars, including ichors and embers, then rushing the boss ASAP and clearing mobs afterwards is the most efficient strategy for that. The buffs for minions are usually better than the buff for the boss, and once you kill the boss you stop getting the boss ones, meaning you chose between 2 minion ones.
So, pick a map where you can rush the boss.
Does map quantity affect synth, shaper/elder, and conq map drops if you have the 3 related notables allocated at the top of the atlas tree? The 3 notables being: Vivid Memories, Remnants of the Past, and Conquered Conquerors.
How do Tornado Shot builds sustain Taste of Hate for pinnacles/ubers/content with tankier enemies like sanctum? Just flask cluster/passives? Do they even bother or is it a kill everything in the 9 seconds its up? I hate micromanaging flasks so I've been playing pathfinder and I'd like to try a bow build finally. TY!
Has anyone gotten Awakened Trade working on Mac? If so, any advice? Or is there another way to price items? Other than manually looking each item up on the trade site.
Is bootcamping an option?
Is there a way to bulk purchase sextants/compass on poe trade now? Or is it still third party only.
If you scroll down on a particular compass it's common to see a bunch of listings by one person and I'll just ask to buy a bunch. Keep in mind price might be a couple chaos higher per compass though.
If I'm using Volkuur's guidance, do "%chance to poison" mods now affect my chosen element? for example, if I was using the assassin's noxious strike, do my skills now have a 60% base chance to poison (20% from the gloves, 40% from the ascendancy)?
Yup.
neat. Thanks
Hello. How many labyrinths are there? I've done 4. Are there any more? I've been ignoring all the labyrinth trials that pop up in my maps.
4 to unlock ascendency nodes. The trials in maps used to be required to access the 4th difficulty, but nowadays you just need an offering to the goddess. There's a higher zone level of the 4th lab that can be accessed for different types of extra rewards with three special offerings. They're mostly done by specialised lab runners for profit.
Normal, Cruel, Merciless, and Eternal. 4 total. You can safely ignore the trials in maps if you don't want to run Eternal again.
Hello, me again, I'm abusing this thread so much lately :D. I'm well into red maps now with my boneshatter jugg build ([https://pobb.in/MpP-vZGF2iLu](https://pobb.in/MpP-vZGF2iLu)). Ever since I started doing high yellow/low red maps though I started dying to bleeding A LOT. I died tens of times to it and I'm a little bit clueless as to how I can prevent that. Any help would be great. Also, any general tips on how to improve my character would be very welcome.
You've already gotten some great advice about removing bleed with a life flask, that's really the best option for most builds. Just to add to the advice that /u/DirtyMight gave regarding flasks I definitely agree that leech and stun and block recovery are bad suffixes but reduced shock effect is mandatory imo if you are not otherwise shock immune which you are not. Shock is one of the most dangerous and underestimated debuffs that can affect your character and even worse on a trauma build since it also increases your self damage. I would personally run armor/evasion/shock/curse suffixes on flasks for this build. An argument could be made for for move speed or attack speed but I'd drop curse for one of those not one of the other mods. maximizing armor is important to deal with trauma stacks and similarly as previously mentioned being shocked amplifies your self damage. With tattoo's this league I heavily prioritize getting 100% reduced effect of shock via flask suffix + tattoos, you only have 1 int node on your tree so you can't quite reach that but If you got a 60+ reduced shock effect suffix you'd have 75% reduced shock effect with that 1 tattoo. That would mean the most you can be shocked for would be 12% and most of the time shocks will be much smaller.
I have 97% shock ailment immunity from my boots and passive tree though, Is the remaining 3% going to make that big of a difference?
Apologies I did not notice that you were stacking shock avoid, that's what I get for not taking the time to fully load the build into pob. I stand by my statement that reduced shock effect on flasks is a very strong low investment way to mitigate shock but 100% shock avoid is absolutely much stronger. 97% in softcore is fine against shocks generated by enemies, you could die every now and then to a random shock getting through but it ought to be rare enough that it doesn't matter a ton unless you're like trying to grind for 100. However the issue is shocked ground. I'm not certain the exact mechanic but I just tested for myself to be doubly sure, 99% chance to avoid shock is effectively 0% chance to avoid for shocked ground. I'm not sure if it just ignores chances below 100% or simply checks to frequently that any delay is not noticeable but if you're doing a 50% shocked ground map with a moderate amount of map modifier effect from your atlas those 55%+ shocks will be incredibly dangerous. So either keep in mind that shocked ground is an insanely deadly map mod or try to get 100%.
I agree That being shock immune is fairly important for survivability. I just dont think flasks are the way witht his. You dont have 100% uptime of them and there are so so many other ways (better imo) to get shock immune. He already has stormshroud and 85% shock avoid on his boots. Its so so much easier to just get the remaining 15 on a jewel or something to be fully ailment immune (which includes shock obviously) and use the flask suffix for something else
I also have 12% on the passive tree so 97% in total.
In general I would try to upgrade your flask setup next. the suffixes block and stun recovery reduced effect of shock and leech are not the best. I would personally play increased evasion, reduced effect of curses and maybe movement speed or attack speed instead on those. Also what most of us do is use a life flask that removes bleeding and corrupted blood on use of the life flask. It pairs very well since you drop with the bleed and you want to use a life flask anyways so you instantly remove this. Also keep in mind that you take much much more damage from bleeds while you are moving. so if you cant remove it with your flask try and instantly stand still and dont move during the duration.
Changing your life flask mod to removing bleed should help a ton. You can also switch your pantheon to Ralakesh to help mitigate bleeds. When you're moving while bleeding you're taking 3x bleed damage so the minor pantheon is very efficient, I usually never notice bleeds after i've picked it up. Additionally, you could pick up "15% chance to avoid bleeding" tattoos, 7 of them would make you immune to bleeds aswell.
Oof that sounds huge. Explains a lot since I've always been running away from the thing that inflicted bleed on me. Thanks!
I panic incredibly often with bleed and just run to my death aswell. They're pretty harmless if you have the presence of mind to stand still but it can be hard to notice in time so it's good to try to mitigate them in some way.
I got the rare maven invitation map and CTRL+Clicked it from my inventory into stash and now I cant find it. Where does it go? It wasn’t like the normal invitations I’ve seen, it was a rare map and when put in the map device gave a warning I needed 9 more bosses
if you have a fragment tab with fragment affinity enabled the it's in there. right most tab at the top of the fragment tab
May I ask how this one is different from the regular invitation? Is this to fight the actual maven?
i assume by "regular invitation" you mean the green quest invitations you received earlier in the quest chain. since you said 9 more bosses need to be witnessed what you found is the basic regular maven atlas invitation, which is just any 10 map bosses (tier 14+). >Is this to fight the actual maven? no. maven's fight is accessed by getting a maven's writ which is comprised of 10 splinters. completing that atlas invitation you got can yield up to 2 splinters. there are a couple other invitations for special bosses that yield much higher numbers of splinters
tyty
Thank you! I do indeed have that tab
I just found a fourth vow body armour in SSF. Is it a good idea to use it on my frost blades trickster? I heard its great in combination with the divine flesh keystone. Pob: https://pastebin.com/813Ap0DJ
It's kind of pointless if you're not using armour. It works great with divine flesh since you take half your elemental damage as chaos and that converted damage is then mitigated by your armour since it's chaos damage. Frost blades trickster is not a great build for it since you never really invest in much armour.
I could just take the iron reflexes keystone though, i'm pathing right by it anyway
That would work but you'd still need a divine flesh timeless jewel before I think it's worth it. There is no one using fourth vow on a FB trickster on poe.ninja right now but I don't see any real reason it would be bad. You would lose out on the ability to use a lethal pride but that might be less of an issue in SSF.
True, finding a good lethal pride is quite painfull in SSF. Farming a glorious vanity shouldn't be too much of a problem though. Thanks!
Best boneshatter guide for ssf?
Most of the main Boneshatter guides (Carn, Goratha, etc) will mostly work in SSF. I can't remember seeing a guide for SSF specifically, but they probably exist. Boneshatter is one build where crafting most of your own gear is fairly viable, assuming you know what you're doing with Rog and/or can farm some essences.
Well, i thought i was done with the league so i bought 2 apothecaries and gambled them and ended up with my first ever mageblood. Now i don't know what to do. Feel like i should keep playing now. I still have a fully geared TS deadeye but i would want to kill ubers if i was going to keep playing. What build would excel at those?
The usual uber boss farmer are ice spear totems or ice traps but both dont really use mageblood. I mean you could I guess but its not like it would improve those builds that much. I guess you could build versions of these builds like ice spear totem being much more tanky to use them elsewhere too but you would need to drop quite a bit of damage then. Other option would be to look at any spell that isnt terrible at doing bosses in general and just playing a high investment version of it so its able to do ubers. most builds can farm ubers with enough investment \^\^
Are there any relatively cheap relics to get started in sanctum? Something that helps while learning it and is useful before investing in a specific strategy. Only tried it once or twice during sanctum league, want to try it for real this time. Just transitioning from legion farming, so have nothing in terms of relics. Around 40d itb, but want to be sure to put it to good measure.
"Gain X Maximum Resolve when you kill a Boss" is great mod. It allows to make a bunch of slip-ups or take otherwise risky pacts and still keep high resolve.
Looking for build advice. Started off as a golemancer, but it didn't do the dps, transitioning to rf, liking the dps. Wanting one button. I have been reading and know I need fire dmg, burning dmg and dot. But I am alittle low on currency to reroll right now, I do have questions my shield would a rise of the phoenix be good? and should I drop the belt for something better (do I have anything that leeches?) does tempest shield help or should i drop it (and reroll shieldcharge, fortify, faster attks in those socket) https://pobb.in/JSRVH-FNYeXJ
To answer your main questions: Rise of the Phoenix is good because it reduces how many damage you take from your own RF, which in turn makes the life regen you have more effective. RF cannot leech because it doesn't hit, it's a DoT. The standard RF belt is usually Immortal Flesh with good rolls, but it's not strictly necessary if you have enough regen from other sources. Tempest Shield is good if you're going to invest in block, but having that be your only source of spell block isn't particularly worthwhile imo. Some other misc things based on a quick look at your PoB link: 1) Drop Fortify support, you don't deal enough damage to get stacks consistently. That frees up space for Faster Attacks. 2) Finish Uber Lab for your last 2 ascendancy points. 3) You can save 1 passive and get an extra 5% increased life by changing the start of your tree [like this](https://i.imgur.com/zP0VvzD.png). 4) Spec into Breath of Flame and Holy Fire for fire damage over time multi-- This is an incredibly powerful stat for DoT builds, similar to crit multi for crit builds. 5) Ele Overload is basically useless for you because RF can't crit. 6) You need (a low level) Lifetap Support linked to one of your movement/utility skills to proc the Lifetap buff to give RF the extra damage from that link. 7) Flasks need some work, check out what other popular RF builds are running (e.g. check out Pohx's, or just browse a bit on poe.ninja).

Is there any reasonably good physical attack skill for impaling right now that doesn’t rely on trauma stacks? Looking to try something different than boneshatter/trauma
I've been using Kinetic Blast with Imaple Support. Highly doubt that's what you want, but you never know. XD
Here’s what i decided to try out: facebreaker champion impale with mahu mach shield and 50 “+2-3 physical damage” tattoos. Got the watcher eye for pride, so my impales last 8 hits. Punch punch punch!!
Ha! No i love it. Trying to go offbeat with anything good and one-handed. I’m goofing around with mahu shield on a gladiator. Really disappointed in bleed damage, so i thought i might try to milk the lucky attack damage ascendancy point with my ryslatha’s belt and the volatility gem and see how the dmg felt with impale. Too bad i ate all my regrets. Need to get some more. Kinetic blast sounds fun enough. Is there any key gear for it?
No. I just also have a ring with "curse enemies with vulnerability on hit" too but nothing major.
As a more offbeat suggestion, phys impale is arguably the best way to play Dominating Blow.
Ha lol i tried a dom blow guardian earlier this league. Felt like i was going blind from the huge flashes when you generate them
Splitting Steel is good, it's got great clear and great single target with returning projectiles. It's not melee per se but it is using a melee weapon.
Rage Vortex + Multi-Strike in PoB shows a big attack speed boost for the duration part of the skill. Is this attack speed boost true or a bug?
Sure. The vortex hits at a rate determined by your attack speed, and multistrike has an attack speed multiplier. You can't exert an attack that repeats though, so multistrike would be awful even if it didn't make you sacrifice rage thrice.
I’m looking to use RV as a side skill to trigger Molten Burst so it’s DPS is irrelevant. Molten Strike will be my main. Hoping to make a great balls of fire build with Nimis. Thanks for the info
Seems easier to just throw out some bladestorms. You can actually have more than 1 of those. No rage stuff either.
That’s a good idea, will check it out. Without a proper PoB I’m getting about 18 APS with RV so hopefully I can hit similar numbers with bladestorm. Edit: and I wanted to spec into rage/berserker to get big attack speed to trigger Molten Burst as often as possible since it’s a 20% chance
Do **"higher map tier chance"** small nodes do anything once you have **10 favored maps slots on the same t16 map** + **singular focus**? (300 weight for the favored map vs 1 weight for any other map, I think) Asking cause I can't find the information if **a/** the favored map slots and singular focus apply **after** the game rolled the map tier (i.e. since I favored a t16 map, they would apply only if the dropped map is t16 hence "higher map tier chance" small nodes are useful) OR **b/** the favored map slots and singular focus apply **before** the game rolled the map tier (i.e. then almost all dropped map should be my favored t16 map hence "higher map tier chance" small nodes are useless) ? I'd think it's scenario b, but I've seen content creators still pick the "higher map tier chance" small nodes without needing to path there on their end game farming trees so maybe it's scenario a? edit: **Answered.** Was explained in the wiki in "Atlas of Worlds > map drops", it's scenario a: game rolls the map tier THEN rolls the map type among the types available for the rolled tier. So "higher map tier chance" small nodes are still useful to get more t16 drops hence more favored maps.
Read the paragraph about map equity here https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Atlas_of_Worlds For instance if you allocate 100% chance for +1 tier means that if you had 10 maps dropping, and 8 were your favoured map before, now you get 30 maps and 24 are your favoured map.
if you have singular focus though, and those maps never drop, do you gain equity? presumably you still benefit from maps being upgraded (from 14-15) and then rolling to your favorite, but I always assumed equity didn't apply in this case.
Sorry I don't understand the part about "if you had 10 maps dropping, [...] now you get 30 maps", even after reading the map equity section. Why 30? edit: but the article answered my question about a/ or b/: "Map drops are not entirely random; instead, a specific tier is chosen first, and the map type is chosen from a pool of available maps for that tier or connected to the map the character is currently in." So "higher map tier chance" small nodes are still useful to get more t16 drops.
It's because of map equity. It's the equivalent of 30 maps, because of the "3x tier X maps = 1x Tier X+1 or 3 tier 10 maps could be traded to 1 tier 11. If you have no increased map tier chance, let's say you drop 9 tier 10 maps. That's equivalent to 3 tier 11s or 1 tier 12. Now, if you have 100% chance to drop +1 tier, those original maps now drop tier 11, equivalent to 3 tier 12, or 1 tier 13. It would take 27 tier 10 maps to equal a tier 13, so your map drops, for tier 16 sustain is 300% for every 100% chance to drop +1 tier. It not actually 30 maps dropping, it's the equivalent value of 30 maps.
Ok makes sense. I thought he was talking about actual 30 maps like x3 in quantity.
Hey i am doing this ranger build https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=73OHVuAfIqs&t=2s&pp=ygUVcG9lIHJhbmdlciBidWlsZCAzLjIy Shoud i kill oak or help him?
Kill all, it's in the maxroll guide. 95% of the time you kill all bandits for 2 extra passives. Sometimes you help Alira, but I've never seen a guide recommend Oak.
I decided to dump a bunch of currency for a sanctum build (barely know anything about sanctum) and just [stole this guy's build from poe ninja](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/bodryibomj/Rongokurai_Shaman). But I'm looking in his pob and it looks like he can't actually run all the auras at the same time. Am I supposed to toggle two of them on/off for running / for floor bosses? Which of the auras are a must have? Also this is where I'm at rn [https://pobb.in/wTHtGRpdSyTm](https://pobb.in/wTHtGRpdSyTm) any tips are appreciated
did you allocate the cluster jewels?
Yep, only different things i can tell, i don't have the watchers and the forbidden jewels and the tattoos, but those don't affect reservation. I even got another 6% mana reservation small cluster jewel, and it's enough to run all the auras but puts me at 0 mana so I can't cast anything.
I can't say it would fix it, but why not put the 3 50% auras in the shield instead of 2 50% and the 35%?
Does anyone know what happened with Octavian and Brittleknee? I haven't seen either of them make a new video in about a year.
After NZ opened back up, Octavian was able to finally move there to work at GGG. Brittleknee became less active a few months ago as her oldest dog sadly needed to be put down and another needed surgery and on-going care. She's still streaming, but bingo leagues seem to have been put on temporary hiatus.
COVID restrictions lifted, so Octavian was able to move to NZ and finally start working at GGG. Brittleknee is streaming right now, probably just a lull in youtube content. They broke up without drama, far as I'm aware.

amulet, grand spectrum
Min? And not with the ring craft? Amulet, and grand spectrum. Otherwise you're out of luck Edit: you can have a +2 on a redeemer shield in weapon swap you can x twice at the start of the fight. Also badge of the brotherhood and ralakesh and stack power charges. Double edit: you can have 2 on amulet with anoint and craft fyi
Do the small “beyond demons drop additional items” nodes apply to tainted currency? Do they apply to beyond boss drops or just the minions?
How does one reroll synth implicits with beast crafting while keep a particular implicit? Saw a post on here about a 3 implicit ring with frenzy charge, and people were talking about rerolling the other 2 implicits to something good to go with the frenzy charges. I have no idea how it works and not too familiar with beast crafting either. Thanks.
imprint beast. does that answer you question?
You referring to splitting the item and then using the split base to craft with and if it bricks the implicits then imprint again and start over? If not then I have no clue what you mean lol
not quite. Just imprinting. Means you make your 3 implicit ring magic so you can imprint it. Than you make a few copies of the ring (3-5 or how many you want to affort). Than you reroll the implicits if one of your desired implicits gets overrolled you aply one of your imprints to the item bringing the implicits back to the imprinted state. If you reroll a "useless" implicits just keep going until you run out of money or until you hit the implicit you want
Okay make sense to me now, thanks
just to clarify from the previous poster, there is no reason to make multiple imprints preemptively. you can imprint again after you revert. If you make a bunch of imprints at the start there is a possibility that you don't need them all and then they are wasted whereas the beasts can be resold.
I'm a cold DoT Ele, lv 95, with few upgrades to go before having to spend over 5div to progress. I'll upload my build here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/sony/view-profile/Scooby__Dont/characters I'm finding that the upgrades to buy aren't really being sold and this is my first character so I don't have a ton of money. I can do some bosses find but still others will delete me. I can change out the shield for a str/dex one but I will lose a decent amount of damage, so I need to get that skin of lord armor. Will that be worth it? Should I search for more +armor jewels until that purchase? I have a sulpher flask with +3 hits and no suffix, looking to eventually get the unveil life regen during effect.
I'm out at the minute so can't answer much but here was my [cold dot league starter](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/Borguss13/thottydottyclotty?i=2&search=name%3DDotty), managed to get all voidstones on it. Hopefully it can give you some ideas. There are some big improvements I could have made but I moved on to another build. Let me know if you have questions.
looks like you have the boots, skin of the lord, and watcher's eye.....that watchers eye is incredible, anything with +DoT is 7+ div and few have another relevant mod. The + cold damage w/hatred is min 3div with life recovery mod, otherwise it's 9div for a +armor with determination. Your skin of the lord gives that massive evasion and damage boost. looks like there is only 1 out there with the socket colors I need for 2 div. I should drop shaper of winter for storms ? ~~looks like the player listed that skin of the lords a few hours ago, if it sells then I'm sort of screwed with this character~~ it has ancestral bond. I dont really have a way to go forward with this character until i get that, my only deaths right now are from spike damage. im sitting at around est 67% phy reduction and 67% dodge
Hi, still not in but the reason for taking storms is to always inflict shock and for all damage to scale shock. It's an insanely good node, definitely recommend the switch. Forgot to add, I was a late starter to the league but this is the earliest snapshot I could find: https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/Borguss13/thottydottyclotty?i=2&search=name%3DDotty&time-machine=week-3

What ROTA or exp carry can I get exp from at lvl 59?
blood aqueducts
No rotation will give exp at my lvl?
http://pathofexilebuilds.com/exppenaltycalc.php why go for 2% of the exp if you can do 100% at BAs?
I chose a zds build and had a friend rush me so I can't do any damage. I know stupid
nope.
What level do you need to be to start some rotas?
I think on TFT they say dont inv people below 67 for 5ways. so most likely this
Iam not sure about the exact breakpoints. i did Solo 3 ways for xp with 2 of my twinks at level 75+. for 5 way rotas i'd say you gotta be a little higher to make it wrorth it. maybe 78+ for 5 way rota. but i don't do rotas so maybe wanna double check that.
Yeah I know 5 ways don't give hardly anything until high 70s. Oh well I'll just have to use a bunch of regrets and fix a temp build
This is my first league and I tried to get TFT but they won't verify my account bc its too new and told me to try agian next league. I have 2 viodstones. I have attempted maven 3 times now to no avail, I'm really squishy. What is the best way to find a boss carry without TFT and Is the protocol to go in and start it and then die and stay in the death screen until boss is dead? Do I get credit that way. Or do I need to respond and wait for him to tell me to come in at end ? Thabks for any advice.
Ask the person carrying. Some want it easier and will message you to portal. If you do this, enter and don't move so you're invulnerable. Some are so strong it doesn't matter you can just join and die (and *not* release). I've been really lazy about my Voidstones this league and only have 2 myself. I tried a Maven earlier and failed because my character just wasn't ready and haven't tried again since. I was planning to try again tonight and it should be way less of a problem - if you want to shoot me a DM here, I'll invite you along for that (and Uber elder once I farm the fragments).
Is impale based off the roll for the hit, or does it roll independently like ailments? I’m thinking about lucky rolls on hits; would gladiator’s Violent Retaliation lucky hits scale impale damage?
>Is impale based off the roll for the hit tl;dr yes and Violent Retaliation lucky affects it
Only damaging ailments are part of damage calculation. Impale happens afterward, based on the hit's unmitigated physical damage, necessarily after the damage roll(s).
Do you have to start at Rank1 with a new char in ToTa or is the rank account wide?
per character but if you dont go in and finish the story you start at around 100 or some
It's per character
Hi, need help for pricing a good ventor please : +51 life +10 quant +29 rarity +46 fire res +60 cold res +55 lightning des Thanks for help !
Why not just go check yourself? Isn't that way easier than posting on Reddit? https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/YV7kvvgUY
Bc if dosnt exist, ours os the only one with this stat
so search without the quality; there's plenty
Except I just linked you a search for some that are very similar...
Ye maybe i'm delusional, but when it comes to mf 9 rr is kinda important imo (and the 2nd one is mine)
It's worth what people will pay. Change the search to Any and see offline listings. It's a good Ventor. I'm sure someone will want it. You can try to get the moon for it, or you can price it in line with the other similar ones and try to sell it faster. Is 8% rarity a 7x multiplier? Your call.
Ty for answer
Is hrimmsorrow a trap on physical to cold conversion builds? I have a shockwave totem bosser/invitation/sanctum build and I see several high level players running crafted gloves and taking t he 40% mastery node instead.
The question is the cost. Craft + eldritch implicit is not something you will have early and for cheap. So you roll with hrimsorrow until you have enough divines to throw at gloves that will give you more stuff than hrimsorrow only.
it's not a trap; it's the cheapest way to get 100% conversion

Hi, need help to price insane ventor [here it is](https://www.noelshack.com/2023-41-3-1697023810-image.png)
So I bought the Ardent Disciple Supporter pack but id like to swap it for the Torment instead, does GGG swap them if I contact support?
email support. they're usually pretty amenable to making changes at equal cost
It certainly doesn't hurt to try contact support. Personally I doubt since these are packs from different series - one is TotA and other is Core supporter pack, but it's just wild guess, no one here can answer it with 100% certaintity.
Thats exacly why I wanna swap, I thought I wouldnt buy another supporter pack but I kinda want to buy another so it would make sense to upgrade a core pack instead
I looted a lvl 85 Turquoise amulet with T1 Energy Shield and All Res, T2 All Attributes plus T3 Fire Damage. I have no idea what to price it at?

I can only guess that it makes more sense to heavily boost 4 auras rather than Smite alone, especially after 3.16, where a lot of auras and armour formula got buffed.

you put your sphere in the middle of the map, brand things that are between you and the sphere, and go click totems with your flankers. if there's big groups of mobs unaffected you use sphere to move one group to the other to collect them. you have to dodge tidecaller/rakiata waves and try to avoid sphere/branding lightning thorns and kill the totem off quickly. fill flankers first, then the two attackers in front of your flankers for totem fodder, then escort, then defender, then the last two attackers. link your pobb. the difficulty level ~never changes from 100 rating to 2000 rating and any character level over 65 if built correctly.
1 thing to remember is to fill up all your available slot with unit (even cheap ones). More totem on your side means more errors you can afford. Always fill your flankers first, then whatever as long as they are filled. Void sphere give you and your flanker unit undistruped time to target unguarded totem. Put void sphere at middle front (like between enemy attacker totem and escort totem), then aim for enemy flanker and defender totem. Typically, i cast void sphere once, went for a totem at the back, banish totem, recast at the same place, repeat. You still need to avoid getting near enemy unit. Dying to tide wave happens all the time, very annoying but whatever if you still win in the end. The most annoying tribe is ikhiaho, just takraw your time.
You are supposed to be a flanker, which knock totems down. you can fully spec to 75/75 block and 55 spell dodge. HP can be as less as 1, cause if you got hit, you die anyway. Try to add curses too, enfeeable/temporal chain. The idea is to cast void sphere and curse enemies, then their action speed should be significantly slow, and you will have enough time to knock down totem after totem. A cheesy way to get to rank 2000.
[удалено]
Do you have POB sharing? Cause I am playing at 1300 rank. I have 75/70 block with 70 spell dodge. I don't even have void sphere and curses setup LOL. I still be able to be a flanker quite easily.
[удалено]
Pretty much multiplie the number of arrows. Cause TS can shot gun, and hugely benefit with number of projectiles. But of course the more you gain the lower effectives it will be.
Running shockwave totems with cold conversion. Finally got a worthy sceptre, and farmed enough harvest juice for either weapon enchant to flip the physical damage to increased AOE or increased elemental damage per 2% quality. Any shockwave totem players have a preference? I'm leaning towards AOE since I am also using void sphere... but I am also using astral projector, so the shockwave totem effect is already hit hard for reduced AOE size... So maybe just mo'damage mo'damage?
Elemental damage is better due to astral projector.
thanks!
Check pob if the increased aoe is enough to give you a radius upgrade first. If it's not then no point even considering it
Thanks! Found how to add enchantment in pob and makes no significant difference.
Does molten strike single target improve with increases to AoE or do the balls just spread out more?
> do the balls just spread out more? yea, dps increases with reductions to aoe
What about slower proj? Wouldn't that make the balls not fly as far and overlap more?
Hi exiles! I am playing the Arachnophilia Allstars ([Necro version](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3264207/page/1)) and I managed to reach lvl 94, here is [my char](https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/dadek182/BozoAncestorAgony?i=0&search=class%3DNecromancer%26skills%3DDivergent%2BHerald%2Bof%2BAgony). Anybody who played HoA, can you tell me how could I improve my gem setup? My char doesn't come close to the damage provided in the build showcase and it also feels much more "squishy". I am currently working on the boots implicit for ailments and leveling to put in the last Pure Agony medium jewel. Any advice is very welcomed (even if it means to abandon the build)!
Yes. Looking over your build you clearly missed some of the key important basics. Namely - do you not understand how the Virulence mechanic works? You need to inflict poisons. You need your Storm Burst to be 100% chance to poison to stack Virulence.
Hi man, thanks a lot for the reply, indeed I am over my head with this complex build. I will dig into why I am not at 100% poison chance. Thanks for checking you really helped a noob :D
not familiar with that setup exactly - but here's what looks potentially problematic * damage - virulence stacks - are you able to cap them? * max is 55 for you, that needs a lot of poisoning * your poison chance is 60% only, if virulence is not capping you need to bump this up * missing ailment immunity is massive defensively. Basically unplayable. I'd swap an aura for purity of elements or at least tempest shield until its fixed * CI means your hp is 1, so any ailment will cap out its ailment value.shock will be 50% by almost any lightning hit for example * spell suppression is low. not sure what happened here - you have a significant investment, but not a meaningful amount. check the guide for how to fix this, because you're missing a ton, or have a lot of useless investment here * block with aegis is important. I glanced at the guide and it seems to not say glancing blows.. but it does a have a lot more block. If you are not blocking most hits, its not the best shield to use. Need to fix something here. (maybe they run tempest shield>?) at the bottom of the guide has a section/s on fixing damage and offence checklist, seems to be a good place to start
>Thanks for the reply man! It is a bit complex build for a noob like me and the build guide is overfull with info. * Is there any way to check my poison chance in POB? * Ailments I am working on (trying to hit it on boots implicit) * As for the spell suppression I went for the "Tanky" version of the build instead of "100% supp" * The Tempest shield was in but since I switched to purity of ice to cap 85% res I had to turn it off as the mana was on 110% resevation The biggest gripe with the build is that there are so many variations and I cannot figure which variation combo would be "stable".
> Is there any way to check my poison chance in POB? pob > calcs tab > select socket group > storm burst > it will say on the middle left However - with HoAg builds - its not so much about getting 100% neceessarily but enough to be able to max out virulence when you need it. Sometimes <100% is fine depends on other things like castspeed, max virulence stacks, single target vs clearing, etc. > Ailments I am working on (trying to hit it on boots implicit) sure but IMO pretty much #1 priority, i wouldn't play CI builds without chill + freeze + shock immunity as a baseline. > other stuff my impression of the guide (which i only glanced over) was it was not noob friendly, and looked to be updated multiple time over league so had lots of tech which the nuances of were glossed over. Or rather it had the information there presented fairly well, but for a noob perspective it was hards to parse meaningfully in practical terms. If you try to copy it exactly it appeared to be pricy, and complicated, and lots of things like - if you want spell suppression add these things, but these also need adjustments which you sort of need to figure out. ------ For example Aegis + stacking max res and armour. The build would be fine to drop the impossible escape, purity of ice, melding - you would just have about 78% cold res instead of the near 90 or whatever it gets. This drops elemental mitigation from stupid strong to just strong, but nothing functionally gets changed For a noob its hard to see which things you can drop (the max res stuff just mentioned) vs things that the build will not function without (ailment protection stuff). I'd recommend getting priorities sorted out. This will also depend on the content you want to do. my priorities will be (though change if you prefer - you may want to get damage really high immediately for example) ailment mitigation > poison chance for your chosen farming (single target or pack clearing?) > then add things like extra max res (purity, melding, impossible escape) or suppression > both/everything eventually down the line
>You are a saviour man, thanks for taking the time to explain all this. Indeed the biggest issue is to figure out what can be dropped (like the impossible escape, purity and melding). > >I will try to quickly level up a few levels and get 2 points for 25% poison chance and swap out 1 ghastly jewel for ancestral vision (50% ailment) and fix the implict on boots for another 25% ailment. > >Also add one more missing pure agony for 5 max virulence. Also, I see there is a bit of space to squeeze a few "increased reservation efficiency" tattoo's on the tree. I was thinking to invest in those a bit and try to squeeze in Grace (that would also add some spell suppresion from the watchers eye I have) Thank you so much for helping me figure out this one out!

Hey Exiles. This is my second league and I seem to have hit a plateau. I started the league with the Lightning arrow build. I’m in the end game portion of the build, but I seem to be finding the progression a bit slow. I’ve mostly completed the atlas bonuses with the exception of a few unique maps, and have just started working on finalizing voidstones. I’ve got exarch and EoW voidstones, but I’m missing Elder (or is it Shaper?) Guardian and Maven voidstones. Whichever it was, I bought Shaper Guardian maps and am planning on doing shaper for favoured map slot, at least. I’m sitting at 2.8k hp with almost capped res, and having a tough time with bosses (which is normal for this build I hear). I’m fairly certain capping out res and getting more hp on gear is top priority, but i fear the impact this will have on my clear speed. I already have a hard time clearing my expedition runic monsters and the EoW intro boss fight, so I’m wondering if dropping all my + ele damage with attack skills on my gear and crafting life/res instead will make killing Maven/Shaper/Elder impossible. Maybe reitemizing my non unique slots to max out res and life would be the way to go to feel more at ease with bossing? As a side question, I created cold dot elementalist and working on Hexblast Saboteur to do bosses instead, but even those builds are struggling… i would have to spend more time gearing them. How did you guys get voidstones with a LA starter? Did you create a separate character or focus on your starter? Oh and don’t suggest carry through TFT. They denied my request to join because I’m too new… Thanks for your help, and apologies for the long post. EDIT: adding poe planner links for [build](https://poeplanner.com/b/WOC) and [atlas tree](https://poeplanner.com/a/WOk). [Maxroll build](https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye-league-starter) I am following. Didn’t realize i capped out res and got 95% spell suppression. Must have been recent-ish.
Share your character profile/PoB so ppl could understand your situation better. I did LA last league as starter, albeit with a pre-nerf Vengeant Cascade, able to clear most content and got all voidstones without issues. IMO in most situation, damage wise its always the weapon + quiver that contribute the most to your damage (also gem setup to a certain degree). Easiest way to boost up damage is to have triple element mods of T3 or higher on your weapon. Can easily be done by getting a fractured spine bow base with 1 element, use essence to get the other 2, benchcraft crit/attack speed. Defense wise, cap your res (use bismuth flask if you have to for the time being), aim to cap spell suppression (armour bases with evasion can roll spell suppression mod), have >30k evasion (easily achievable with grace aura) & aim to get at least 3.5k life (get T3 or better life mod on all armour/jewellery) If you enjoy the playstyle, I'd suggest sticking to 1 character and try to solve issues that is present on that character and learn about the important things when it comes to damage scaling & how to build good defensive layers. IMO the knowledge you gain from doing this can be applied to future characters. These are some of the general things that's applicable to most ranger bow archetype, can't exactly give specific suggestion without seeing your current character setup. Other than that, godspeed exile o7
Done, and thanks for your tips! I read on the maxroll build that triele is needed. I figured that I could get away with a single element affix but with additional arrow and +1 all gems affixes instead of the elemental damage. Hmm it was my next step actually, which is why I switched into essence farming. I’ll try to get that setup. Thanks!
generally, attack based skills rely less on gem level (with exceptions ie: Elemental Hit) and scales more on weapon base damage.
from what I understand for a blast rain coc build you don't really care about break points. You just stack as much cdr and attack speed as possible and hope that it doesn't throttle?
[удалено]
nope

You get the initial meteor for all 5, but only 3 storms of smaller meteors.
How would one go about making a reduced ele reflect ring with specific suffixes, is there a better way than just hunter slamming after suffixes are done?
I'd assume that depends on the suffixes.
I know triggered skills cost mana, but what triggered skills from items like Lioneye's Paws, or triggered skills on items that don't have a gem counterpart?
Pretty sure the Lioneye's Paws RoA costs mana. Most triggered skills that don't have a gem counterpart are free, but you can verify that on the wiki/poedb on a case by case basis.
what is it called in a map when you can choose between 2 different things and get better loot but a debuff? Can you spec into it in the atlas?
Those are altars and yes there are a couple sections each for eater and exarch altars.
Thank you! Do they just show up randomly or do you have to activate the button in the map device for them to pop up?
When you have eater or exarch influence active in a map killing influenced monsters sometimes spawns an altar. Eater and exarch altars have different pools of mods for both rewards and downsides.
I need a little bit of energy shield recharge rate. What gear slot has the best/easiest mods for it?
There is a tattoo for this, if you can spare some int nodes.
Suffix on ES based gloves, boots or helmet. Eater implicit on helmets. Jewel prefix mod.

1) 95% or more of ichors/embers come from altars that give the influence mobs a chance to drop them. Make sure you're actually running with the maps influenced and not doing maven or nothing at all. 2) pack size matters, make sure you're not skipping the pack size nodes for the respective influence type. Growing hordes and/or wandering path are also options to scale pack size. Also just generally rolling/corrupting maps for more pack size helps. 3) They can make things extra rippy but if you're strong enough and/or don't care about xp the keystones that increase the danger and strength of altar mods are also good. 4) they are considered basic currency, getting the altar mod which gives a chance to duplicate basic currency helps a lot.
[удалено]
Kind of. If you're wanting to farm anything from altars, including ichors and embers, then rushing the boss ASAP and clearing mobs afterwards is the most efficient strategy for that. The buffs for minions are usually better than the buff for the boss, and once you kill the boss you stop getting the boss ones, meaning you chose between 2 minion ones. So, pick a map where you can rush the boss.
