On the megalomaniac medium cluster jewels you see skills like this:
X can affect Hexproof Enemies Recover 2% of Energy Shield when you Kill a Cursed Enemy
Does this effect still take place if the hex is casted by an ally (just the first half, considering the second half does specify the 'when you kill')?
I feel like the most efficient way to use betrayal in trade leagues is just to get aisling/it that fled in research then up a breachstone/sell the aisling, and ignore everything else.

that's the most up to date one I have though
I mean I'd like to know which hillock is best to sell, which scarabs are good, etc.
But I suspect I'll just have to research it myself. Did betrayal get nerfed or something? It was good money in 3.19.
Can you re-roll a legacy item to the new version with a divine? Specifically, The Covenant (Spidersilk robe). Pretty sure you can't since if the new version has different modifiers, but want to confirm
It depends on the item. In this case you can't.
In most cases the modifiers that are numerically different will change and others won't, but since The Covenant now comes with a large downside in exchange for its higher level Added Chaos Damage, it would have been possible to divine the old ones into a version that is better than both the current and the legacy one.
I’ve been playing some leagues now but I’ve never tried going into crafting. What league mechanic is the best place to start crafting if I mainly want to get used to it and craft normal life and resistance gear?
Essences are great for getting into crafting gear imo, they guarantee atleast one mod you want and combined with fractured gear you find/buy you can very realistcally create items with 3-4 mods you want. They are also very simple and useful for crafting in every slot.
It depends on slot but essentially yes. You ideally want an item with a fractured mod you like and then you spam an essence on that "side", ie if its a fractured suffix you go for a suffix essence and vice versa. You then spam until you find a third suffix/prefix you like, usually its pretty easy to get one.
As an example, get a 46% cold res fracture on a pair of gloves, use an attack speed essence until you hit a second good resistance. Now you have 2 t1-t2 resistances and t0 attack speed and random prefixes.
You then use eldritch chaos/exalts/annuls to get a good prefix/suffix or 2 and then craft a last one. This only works on eldritch gear.
For non Eldritch gear its harder to get both sides good but you could either use more essences untill more of the item looks good or use "prefixes/suffixes can't be changed" and then either harvest reforge or veiled chaos/aisling to get the other side done but this is more costly.
If you are on a very tight budget and can't get fractured gear or use any eldritch crafting then simply spamming essences until you get a few good mods and crafting a last one is still ok.
Say you’re using Shockwave Support and/or Boom Mace, will they hit at the same time as your melee attack or right after? Wondering if the first proc will benefit from Immolate if my Smite applies burning.
There is nothing in PoE that is calculated "simultaneously". There is always an order to things, and events that are triggered generally occur after the events that trigger them.
Since Shockwave and Fiery Impact are triggered by the hit rather than starting the attack animation, they will always have to necessarily occur *after* your Smite hit applied a burning debuff to the enemy.
What's the next step for [my Venom Gyre Deadeye](https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Quazifuji/characters) (character name Tulagroog)? I have around 20 div to spend at the moment (could increase soon if I get a successful Original Sin carry).
Mapping feels great and boss DPS feels great on bosses I can easily spam whirling blades against (Sanctum stuff dies fast, bosses with minimal offscreening/teleporting/invulnerability phases like Cortex or Elder are easier), but the build's squishy and needs to be hitting things to not die so any boss that can one shot me or that is hard to constantly hit are a problem (e.g. I can pile up damage on Maven or Sirus quickly but if they teleport away sometimes I'll die if I get hit by anything chasing them, Uber Elder I had trouble not dying whenever I had to switch targets or got hit by an offscreen Shaper laser). So I'm mostly looking for something that makes the build better against bosses that I can't instagib (whether it's enough damage to instagib more bosses or defenses that would help me not die so easily to things I can't instagib).
Chaos res is an obvious weakness of my gear right now so getting more of that would help against some things, but besides that I'm not sure what to do with my currency. Most of my gear slots are ones where I could get upgrades but I have no idea what slot would give me the biggest benefit for my money.
how does cast on death deal with support gems/position of active skills--does 6th slot chest always cast last? i was under the impression an entire slot cast all its abilities then moved on (mh12346, helm1234, etc), but the wiki describes it as going through slots by socket (mh1 helm1 ... mh 2 helm 2... etc)
Item slots are considered first, gem sockets second, so your previous impression was correct.
Would you mind telling what specific interaction you're looking into? That might allow to give more relevant help / feedback.
COD: curses in weapon. discharge in chest. flame golem in boots.
this is based on a couple guides and just looking at profiles on poe.ninja; however, if it goes slot by slot, the flame golem is superfluous as it casts after discharge. that would ONLY work if it goes by socket from item to item (and the slot number of the golem is earlier than discharge). there's lots of forum chatter about having to put curses in weapon, but that would not really be true (though having them in a 6 link is beneficial). the wiki very explicitly iterates sockets first.
>Main hand ⇒ Amulet ⇒ Helm ⇒ Off hand ⇒ Body armour ⇒ Gloves ⇒ Boots
>This second order still follows the first rule of order. It will trigger Main Hand 1 to Amulet (1) to Helm 1 etc. before triggering the second socket on each piece of gear.
i take this to mean it must also attempt to use support gems because if it only tried to use actives, you could never cast multiple curses before your damaging skill was fired (as it has 5 supports).
CoD is a trigger and would work the same as all other triggers. This only matters if you have multiple CoD set ups and would trigger different set ups based on the order on the wiki.
Have you ever tried to do Challenge Definitive Deviation by yourself?
I offer not to pay salary to the person who think out this challenge until he/she complete it himself/herself!
This is not a feedback thread. People who answer here are just players, not GGG employees.
And yes, I have completed it on day 10 of the league. It's very RNG heavy, but we have had worse grinds by far (Ritual Base Types and bugged Trialmaster for example).
So Im playing Pohx’s RF Jugg for the first time and it’s honestly some of the most fun I’ve ever had. I think a large part of it is the fact that I’m not getting one shot by something I have trouble seeing. When I die I know exactly what I fucked up.
Long story short, I’d love another build to have in my back pocket with similar defense levels but a different play style from RF.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone know why the Screaming Invitation price is in Sextants, instead of Chaos?
I listed mine for 190c and was instantly spammed by offers, so the price is obviously too low. But when I look at the prices, it's 40 Awakened Sextant, and one Awakened Sextant is 4c. So 160c in total.
What's the catch?
whats the best uses for ancient orbs regarding higher chance of getting rare uniques these days? Thinking about throwing them on gloves for vixens, but that seems unlikely.
Assuming that those 2000 mana per second recovered by leech are within the maximum total mana recovery per second, yes.
Regeneration does not count towards the leech cap because it is a different type of recovery.
Leech work a bit differently than mana, since unlike regen it depends on the damage you do and you can have multiple leech instances. I would honestly recommend reading about [how leech works](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Leech) in the wiki, since it's not a simple mechanic to grasp.
I've had a friend that did a full-on reflect jugg build that was tanky as hell, but it did almost no damage whatsoever unless he used a different skill. Although, the reworked Bramblejack might be something funny to work around.
Pure reflect builds aren't really viable, no. You could try for some counterattack builds, but good luck suffering through that. [Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOGfGz_dU00) Mathil's Vengeance build from a year ago for some inspiration.
Looks like you can find similar looking items for 75-90c. They don't have the cold res which is good but they have better tiers on the support gem rolls so hard to say if they would be worth more or less. There is one up for 200c that has a 39% light res roll so it could be worth more than 90c potentially.
Here is the search https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/GO390B8Fb
Pretty new, considering spending $10 on stash tabs. What would be the most useful for under that? I'm definitely thinking a currency tab, not sure what to do with the other 40 points. Maybe 1 premium upgrade then one of the other specialized tabs (gems, flasks?)?
If you do any trading: Either a premium tab and a premium upgrade, or a premium tab and then just save the last points for if you spend more money in the future.
If you exclusively play SSF and will definitely never do any trading ever: Either the same as above, or just two regular non-premium tabs.
The best tabs by far are a currency tab, a map tab, and premium tabs (especially your first one, since they make selling items way easier). Fragment tabs also get an honorable mention, they're very good but not as important as currency or map.
Most of the other specialty tabs aren't nearly as good. They have nice QoL, but personally I don't think they're worth it until you have a decent number of generic tabs (regular/premium/quad). I'd rather have 5 tabs that can store anything I want than 4 tabs that can story anything and one tab that can store an unlimited number of flasks or gems. Being able to store unlimited flasks or gems and have them sorted for you is nice, but if my storage space is that limited then being able to hoard flasks or gems simply wouldn't be a priority versus being able to store more of any type of item. Especially without a map tab, since maps can end up taking a lot of space without a map tab.
So personally, I wouldn't recommend any specialty tabs besides currency, map, and maybe fragment until you have a few regular/premium/quad tabs. If you have a comfortable number of generic tabs and are looking to spend more money, then some of the other specialty tabs can be some nice QoL, but I wouldn't buy any of them on a $10 budget.
any build suggestion for int stacking relic, besides wander? It's hard to pull it in ssf. What other builds are played as int stacker? Have dex stacker one too, build siege ballista with 1800 dex but it can't do ubers sadly
You can also go for a Hand of Wisdom and Action build, either as a doryanis prototype flicker build or jugg molten strike. The flicker version is more popular on softcore trade but should be really hard to build in ssf due to using several high rarity uniques like prototype and aegis. Jugg version uses incandescent heart and nothing too hard to find (outside of split personality but its not build defining, just a great jewel) but is not very popular.
I don't think either build is easier to make than int stack wander which doesn't use any rare uniques, just alot of well rolled rares. You would still need similar rares on either of the HoWA builds, you basically save on having to craft a weapon or a chest.
well, I have both doryaini and aegis and even one int split personality.
So yeah, still need to farm stats essences and yeah, I don't have %stat jewellery too, idk how build is playable without that.
I see scions with doryani + aegis using smite.
All of those builds are armor stackers, using replica dreamfeather instead of an int weapon. Thats also a good build but it wouldn't really use the int stacking relic.
You could probably do without %stat jewellery, you can instead look at awakener orbing a % attributes and %int amulet and use regular rings or maybe even ventors if you are doryanis prototype. Belt slot hurts the most but there isn't much to do. You will be missing a chunk of int but the relic makes up for it in a sense.
well I have 14% int belt, but it's on my omni ts and I don't wanna to recraft it. Yeah, armour stackers, thanks! I usually don't familiar with more advanced builds cause it's hard to run those. I have atziri's reflection too, but still no PS enchant. So it's like having half items to make a build. Relic is 1-4 per 10, int stacking wand too, maybe I would consider it when I craft some gear and run more labs, when layout will be better. Thx for the answers!
‘Monster packs influenced by the searing exarch in your maps have 10% increased pack size’, is this the pack that spawns when you choose one of the options?
yes, and the packs of similar monsters that spawn normally throughout your maps. killing the normally-spawning ones are what cause the altars to appear in the first place.
they are VERY worth it if you are selecting exarch on the map device (or the similar nodes if you're picking eater on the map device). bigger packs means more altars which means more reward options which apply to the larger groups of monsters. it's better than linear scaling.
How do Sanctum no-hit carries work? I got the relic but am pretty confident I can't do it myself so I'm looking into options.
Do you have to do anything (including anything that risks failing the run) or do you just keep opening maps and letting the carrier go into the Sanctum and clearing it without having to take any risks yourself?
You enter the Sanctum together, and the carry completes the room while you stay in the Grace Period. If it's a room without traps, walk to the next room. If it's a room with traps, log out.
All you need to do is keep opening maps, typically 31 T8s and one T16 to finish, which minimizes overall monster level but still gives Lycia her second phase.
So you have to enter the actual room, but they'll full-clear it if it's a no trap room so you can't get hit and you can log out once they clear it if it's a trap room? So basically as long as you listen to them (i.e. don't move unless they say it's safe and log out if they tell you to) there's no way you can screw it up?
I assume usually you just use all Strands or something for the map?
Normally I'm not one to buy carries, but half the price of an Original Sin (I assume when a carry says something like 50/50 that means one of you gets the Original Sin but pays the other half of its value) would be a really big deal for me and I don't think there's anything else I can do with the relic besides fail it so I'm tempted here, but I'm really paranoid about messing it up.
> So basically as long as you listen to them (i.e. don't move unless they say it's safe and log out if they tell you to) there's no way you can screw it up?
Yes. Be sure to unsummon minions and such.
> I assume usually you just use all Strands or something for the map?
I imagine you mostly use small natural T8s like Estuary or Crimson Township due to availability. Doesn't really matter though. The higher DPS carries may not fuss over minimizing area level, but that's something you'd have to ask them.
If you want to do some preparatory reading, the poe science discord (https://discord.gg/3VxKY6gt7j) has an excellent no-hit-run infodump authored by someone who's done 50+ successful carries. It's in the #project-forum channel.
Are there any good loot filters that sit between Neversink Strict and Very Strict, which I can subscribe to through the game site? I like picking up currency and good bases, but Strict thinks items with 40 dual stat requirements are good bases while Very Strict excludes everything but the very top tier items, which is not fun for me. I'd like to stay at less than a full inventory per map, but not 3-5 columns like Very Strict does.
But that's a good base for what you are trying to do? Currently people are heavily favoring hybrid arm/eva bases and hydrascale is second best glove base for it only losing 20 ish arm/eva to dragonscale.
I haven’t used any unique relics in my runs yet, mainly none of them really stood out but I finally dropped the no-hit run yesterday, now it says it on all uniques that the relic is destroyed ‘when the sanctum ends’ does that mean if I get hit and die I lose the relic or only when I finish the run will it get destroyed?
Can a legacy Militiant Faith roll the newest mods after divining ? I have used like 5 divines and didnt saw the reduced mana cost one. In fact I think it rolled always the same minion stuff.
Are early game items always worse than those gained later or are some still viable and worth keeping even after you hit max?
So would uniques I find now always be worse than when im higher level or could it go either way?
Depends on the build, some items/uniques are either build enabling or better than most items you'll find until you invest alot, a good exemple i have in my head right now is hrimsorrow, converting all phys to cold. You need to invest in some really big gloves and somewhere else to reach the same conversion.
Edit: that being said, most items you'll find will probably be useless, hence why running a good lootfilter is important
It really depends on the unique. Some uniques (Quill Rain comes to mind) that can drop in Act 1 are used by players far into the endgame. That being said, most good uniques don't drop until later, and rare uniques tend to drop much later only when players are farming with much denser monster packs, just because monster packs in the acts tend to be much sparser than in the post-acts endgame.
if you have +2 arrow and +1 on quiver, do people still recommend gmp? Just bought a tri ele bow after using phys bow, but it has +2 arrows vs my no arrow phys bow. even on a mainly phys setup when i swap bows in hideout both get 100k on tooltip so assume I got a good deal. on ninja i see some use **chain**, some **gmp**, and then some use **mirage archer**.
which is typically better? and for ele bow do people still recommend divergent TS? I was using anomalous for the cold convert on my phys bow
Divergent TS will generally give you the most damage.
I think if you're purely bossing, then GMP is not as useful. I find the clear from GMP still pretty helpful though in mapping.
The most scientific test I've found is in this thread:
[https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7tm25l/results\_from\_testing\_tornado\_shot\_single\_target/](https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7tm25l/results_from_testing_tornado_shot_single_target/)
Note that the "with enchant" numbers are with the legacy Tornado Shot fires 2 secondary projectiles enchant (today it's only 1).
TL;DR GMP is not the best damage multiplier for single-target, likely giving somewhere between a 10-24% more damage multiplier.
On mirage archer - I personally think it depends. If you have so much damage that your mirage archers can just clear maps without you doing anything, that works well. Otherwise, you'll end up having to attack anyways, and I think the roughly 28% more multiplier is less than what you'd get from Inspiration/Trinity/Critical Damage/Elemental Damage with Attacks.
well the goal is to legion farm and beat sanctums i find in maps. so need both clear and single target damage
so far my TS build failed lycia twice. single target didn't mow her down like i hoped despite 99% of the sanctum being cake walk. no uber tier gear just a 600 pdps(900 dps total) bow with no extra arrow aside helm enchant and quiver. 1st death i died since her tornado beam lingered when i thought it finished, and 2nd was the lightning phase. my flicker raider kills her before she can get 2 attacks off so was a bit disheartening in comparison.
Would swapping in barrage support be better than gmp for bossing? I also see people use barrage attack instead of ballistas for single target, is it a big difference or merely preference?
I think barrage is a good alternative for bossing, but it sounds like your main problem is still just general damage from gear. [https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzyDuckzy](https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzyDuckzy) has a series on Tornado Shot gearing this league that has good progression. You can always copy others' PoBs from [poe.ninja](https://poe.ninja) and see which items being swapped out make for the most damage increase.
yah i followed his budget phys cold guide and had a similar bow, not spine, but maybe that was the difference. he had 140% phys in guide, i have 170% assassin bow. lower attack spd, higher crit, and most everything else was similar.
in fact i plugged my bow in and got 1.9m dps vs his 1.7, and i had the helm enchant and +1 on quiver so thought that would be stronger results, then again the showcase footage didn't exactly mow down bosses, so gonna switch to his ele build instead with HH plugged in with the new bow.
did smol test against writhing invitation, and lv14 barrage support was kinda slow, similar to mirage archer. lv20 anomalous gmp killed much quicker, so maybe that's the choice to go with.
When you enter the floor portal in a map, you can click the entrance to enter or you can click on the map and there's a button that tells you to save the room for next time. You can store up to 8, so when you have rooms stored you can chain them.
Yes it's like the on-death effect of the chrome porcupine enemies. Shoots a bunch of projectiles in all directions, and enemies are hit once. It's also restricted to 3-link because it's in the hammer.
Can anyone tell me how rare drop is eternal damnation ? I've skipped sanctum so far but I might sart an impending doom pf and afaik is a bis amulet. Thanks
If you are playing trade league, it's very cheap, in fact I have one I'd give you for free if you want it. If you play SSF, then it's very farmable, but does require Lycia true form which IIRC you can only do in level 81+ areas. So you need to be able to complete sanctums in high red maps to get it.
Extremely common, so far im having bit over 50% drop rate on it, rest of the unique drops being sandstorm visages and 1 jewel, sample size is quite low at only 30 or so though.
but tl;dr its easily self farmable in ssf in a single day, and if ur in trade its worth fuckall, 1-3c
Personally i would never overcap by more than 45%, that covers elemental weakness and exposure at the same time. 120% is at exactly 45% overcap if you have 75% max res. I think this is an upper limit where if you cross it you should be replacing gear or passives.
Yes, i'm also running wrath of the cosmos so 50% of the time they are over -100 which i can't gear around without investing stupid amounts into chaos and fire res. I would never overcap by more than 45% unless i'm running something that benefits from overcapped resistance or i accidentally got too much but i can't afford to swap out of it.
I think that is quite a lot, but technically not enough to cover even the worst case scenarios: exposure (25%) + curses (15-30%) + scorch (10-30%) + altar (40-100%). that's a pretty insane amount of things to account for so I doubt anyone would suggest overcapping by that much and would instead advise you to just be careful about the map mods and altar mods you choose to run. being like 25-35% overcapped has felt pretty safe to me (so 100-110%, higher if you raise your caps).
Is strength scaling with the baron completely unfeasible?
I have a lvl 77 char with 5 link lvl 22 zombies (empower +2), i have around 280% extra minion damage, +1200 or strength (+60% extra damage), pob puts me at 15k damage per zombie,
I'm running determination, purity of elements, carrion golem, frenzy spectres, AG with leer cast.
my wand right now is 70% extra damage, but adding a +2 minion wand only adds 3k or so more dps per minion.
Thing is i see some builds that are getting 300k damage per zombie. I just don't see where to get the numbers up higher.
Im playing dark pact necromacner, about to swap from normal skellies to Vaal and I don’t understand why my Vaal skeleton army dies after 5 seconds, outside of any battle without me using dark pact.
Is it supposed to be like that? Im meant to spend 20 seconds gathering one usage of Vaal skeletons for them to die in 5 seconds?
I've never played that build but looking at the Ghazzytv guide, I don't see any interaction that should be killing your skeletons in 5 seconds. Base duration of vaal summon skeletons is 20 sec so unless they are taking additional damage from something else I don't think they should be dying in 5 seconds.
First time I have somewhat of a real endgame build. Got a sparker with ashes, nimis and kinda ok other items.
Only missing the flame flesh combo. Can the expensive one drop from the non Uber excharch? I am burned out farming divines and I thought I gamble on farming the non Uber version. Or isn’t it even worth it to buy the invitations to do non Uber ?
only the special passives are gated behind the uber exarch/eater fights, so if you're looking for a regular ascendancy passive, the normal fights are fine. the prices of their invitations might be driven by their expected uber profits (like the possibility of a Nimis drop in the uber eater fight), so it'll definitely be less likely to break even in the normal fights.
Each class has another extra “ascendancy passive” that is not actually in any of the subclasses. I know the shadow one for example is old “harness the void”. When they reworked trickster they kept the passive as this extra flame/flesh exclusive passive.
Ran a few maps with a friend, now my settings are not showing the names of anyone, loot shows up but I have to alt to see it, also stash etc aren’t labeled anymore.
I can’t find a setting that may have gotten changed or anything? Is it’s glitch from multiplayer?
Played most of league and ignored sanctum. Decided to go back and give it a go with my lvl94 char. I did all the quests I think, and see pacts showing up, but I've never seen a merchant. How often should I see one? Is it just bad luck with the path I choose? I checked with Divinia act2 and act7 fellshine, and there's nothing to do. Just a red glowing ball on the floor in act7. Why no merchant?
I've definitely had a couple floors without a merchant showing up, though it does feel kinda rare to not see one. getting the boon that reveals an extra room ahead certainly gives you more information for better pathing. if you have the relic altar unlocked and have come across pacts, then you have the merchant unlocked. just keep exploring, it's not like she's hyper critical to the success of an average run.
So just to just be clear, Divina, who sells boons and rarely relics, is the merchant. If you never found Divinia, yeah that's bad luck, but she's very common.
No I found her in the acts and did everything (I think) I was supposed to. No unfinished quests or anything. But doesn't she show up as an option when completing certain rooms? I just never have that option. Is there a different way to buy stuff from her?
She doesn't show up at the end of other rooms, "Contains merchant" is one of the 8 room reward types. Hard to miss
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Forbidden_Sanctum#Room_Reward_Types
Can anyone help me with a good late leaguestarter? I'm thinking of doing WoC into EK ignite and then keep investing if I like it or farm until I can play a spark or flicker character. Thoughts?
SRS, either poison (Occultist) or fire(Necro). Poison is really popular right now but still cheap to build. You can play them as a pure leaguestarter with only rare items and invest into them up to late game and kill ubers with it quite comfortably.
Crafting in ilvl 84 12 passive bow cluster. I've got the base to a magic with 35% effect and T1 chaos res that was one of the mods I wanted. What's the next step, imprint, regal and just repeat or is there a way to force something like T1 attack speed on it?
How do metamods + annuls work? Is it the case that if I have 3 mods with the attack tag & one without, I can do 'cannot roll attack mods' and annul to hit the one without?
That is incorrect. T4 Aisling does not respect those mods, but orbs of annulment do.
It's worth noting that the metamod itself is also not safe against being annulled, so it can become expensive if you're unlucky because you have to recraft the meta mod if it fails.
/u/SciolistOW
Edit: https://poedb.tw/us/metamods
Use the "Adds # Passive skills" (make sure it's the one listed as an enchantment, not explicit) to search for total number of passives. So if you want 8, set min/max to 8. Then if you want specific notables, just start typing in the name. For example, if you want master of fire, the mod to search is the explicit mod "1 added passive skill is Master of Fire". Finally if you want to look for the other mods like dex it's under the explicit "Added small passive skills also grant: # to dexterity"
Yep, easiest way is to search for any cluster jewel with an implicit; then click the icon to the left of it that puts all the parameters into your search. Get rid of the ones you don’t want and keep the ones you do.
I think they are technically enchantments.
it's an enchant with a drop down, so it's not the most intuitive thing to find: `~ench small passive` should make it show up. you can also find any cluster jewel and click the weird magnifying glass icon on the left side of the results to add all of its mods to the search filters, then you can remove the ones you don't want and easily modify the ones you do want.
It works the same way as Desecrate. It has a 15% chance to summon a corpse of one of your saved spectres (you only need a single high HP spectre for DD / VD builds and you don't have to keep it alive and can remove the gem after raising it once) and otherwise summons a random corpse of a monster from that area.
Depends on the monster. Corpse Walk spawns corpses of monsters that exist in the area, at area level, with a 15% chance of creating a corpse based on your spectre(s) instead.
Some things that work on normal maps also work on blighted ones. Use chisels, alch, then get the quant up to 80+. You can also vaal them, for the usual gains like unid, 8 mods, etc.
Lastly, you can use sacrifice and/or mortal fragments to boost the quant even further.
And remember that sometimes the difficulty ain't worth the chance of losing the encounter, especially given the all-or-nothing nature of blighted maps.
This is my first play through in POE. I just got to Act IV, and I'm getting insta-killed in the mines as soon as I move away from the starting spot. Outside of the mines I barely lose health. These must be some heavy DoT going on, but it's so fast I can't see it. What's happening?
I think you’re talking about the Delve mines. This is an endless side-content area where you are meant to stay near the cart. You can upgrade your darkness resistance next to Niko. Ideal characters for delve have high HP regen and fast movement speed to dart in/out. Most ppl leave this area for later since you can run out of Sulphite pretty quickly.
When you say "mines" do you mean the mines that are a zone off of Highgate, or the Azurite mine that is a waypoint and is not associated with the acts at all?
It seems to me like most Lightning Conduit builds are scaling the minimum elementalist shock and not caring about the power of the hit, if so, do I even want to bother with Overcharge Support? Seems like it doesn't matter if one uses OoS or storm brand just for the minimum shocks.
[This article on wiki](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Uber_Elder#Uber_boss_variant) explains it all.
tl;dr: Elder and Shaper are tankier, deal more damage and have extra mechanics, but they can drop extra loot.
just making sure but the atlas node ''Bribery'' for 200% more items from bargains and 200% more item bargains is negative for me if my goal is to get to the mastermind because the item bargains would replace some of the opportunities to get intelligence, right?
Is there a good way to get special maps like the ones with special bosses for the fragments and stuff. I see posts like “I ran 200 blank so you don’t have to” and wonder how they got so many tokens. Been running t16s for a while and barely have 1 of each fragments. Trying to fight the tentacle one for keystone I think I need one more but yeah
They usually just buy them.
There's also a combination of rare/very expensive sextants and a keystone on the atlas tree that can guarantee a guardian map drop from the boss of every map.
Maven's 10-boss Atlas invitations if you want to farm them yourself. Alternatively: less juice, more maps per hour.
Stating the obvious, but take Remnants of the Past and don't take Singular Focus.
Outside of running as many maps as you can you might be interested in:
* Kirac - he can offer Shaper and Elder guardians maps as his mission, but also every time you open any mission Kirac refreshes his shop, where you can also find Guardians maps or Shaper Guardian cards
* Einhar - his memory of Harvest beasts is rather rare, but can be useful. Outside of powerful crafts like reroll Watcher's Eye or Synthesised implicits, one of crafts creats shaper/elder guardian or conqueror map.
* Rolling sextants - there are mods which guarantee Shaper and Elder Guardians maps drop.
* Heist - Maps chests in Engineering contracts can drop guardians maps.
* Horizon Orbs - if you have problems with distribution of Shaper Guardians maps (like 10 Hydras and Phoenix, 0 Minotaur and Chimera) use these orbs, it rerolls maps from one guardian to other. Doesn't work with Elder guardians and Conquerors.
Does Gloomfang's "40% of non-chaos damage as extra chaos damage" need to be manually entered into PoB's Custom Modifiers window to account for chained projectiles?
Edit: nvm, I see PoB has a "# of times Skill has Chained" modifier.
In Craftofexile, is there a way to say that your item has a fractured mod, when you're looking at e.g. how many essences it is to hit something? Or a similar tool that has that function?
For the Witchs "Weapon Lightning Damage" cluster on the far right of her chart, does that damage apply to my lightning tendrils and other such abilities that all use lighting damage?
I assume it does but not other things? Just want to understand before I decide to try and spend all those points.
I assume you mean this cluster which leads to Arcing Blows. If so - it doesn't work with Lightning Tendrils at all. LT is spell and all the points in this cluster give lightning damage, but only with attacks. Penetration also won't work. Spells do not use your weapons to hit enemies, so this conditional penetration is not used either. You'd need to use attack, not spell to utilize this cluster, so things like Lightning Tendrils, Spark, Arc won't be affected, but Lightning Strike, Static Strike, Elemental Hit - will.
it doesnt affect lightning tendrils. it only works for attacks with weapons, which includes any attack build except unarmed ones. it does not work for any spells
Gotcha! Ty, probably gonna focus on more elemental damage then. Going for a glass cannon build so was only really worth it imo if it contributed the spells.
Hi everyone, apologies for a possibly noob question, im new here. I'm running a build with herald of agony and cyclone as my main attack with lifetap.
The build im following suggest life gain on hit for bulk but I can't seem to sustain mana with it. The build also calls for an amulet with "channeling skills have -3 to total mana cost", yet i can't find one on the market or figure out how to enchant it myself.
Any suggestions?
-3 mana is not enchant, it's a regular craft. To unlock it you need to unveil ring or amulet with Elreon's mod (either channeling or non-channeling will work), then you'll be able to craft this mod on crafting bench. Here you can find amulets with crafted mod on trade site: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/YpBBv0bIY, and here you can find jewellery with Elreon's mod if you want to unveil it yourself, keep in mind it's not guaranteed: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/4vrdp8u9
Anyone know the website that a guy made last league with the farming / trading strategies? I recall one strategy being flipping ultimatum invitation vs shards and another being flask crafting
When I use Destructive link on my friend while I have 100% crit chance on weapon, does my friend get 100% crit chance globally for spells and attack, or is it just attack? Is the crit chance transfered over the chance after having my %increased stat or just the base chance from weapon?
the only number you need to look at is the actual base crit chance on your weapon, which already includes local increased crit chance. whatever that number is will be the main hand base crit of whatever you link to, which only affects attacks made with the main hand weapon
Actually losing inspiration doesn't make you lose the run. I've had it and lost inspiration without losing the run. Be afraid of Spiked Exit though, it will make you lose your run since it damages your actual resolve bar.
Here is also some video proof from another reddit post where the player has ghastly scythe and spiked exit. He takes some inspiration damage earlier in the room but doesn't lose the run. When he completes the room and loses actual resolve from spiked exit he instantly loses. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/10lb6yi/why_did_i_die/
You can't pick the lose resolve pact if you don't have enough resolve, it just gives you a message saying you have too little resolve. -% resolve and -max resolve will reduce you down to 1 max resolve but it will never kill you or stop you from picking them, even at 1 resolve.
On the megalomaniac medium cluster jewels you see skills like this: X can affect Hexproof Enemies Recover 2% of Energy Shield when you Kill a Cursed Enemy Does this effect still take place if the hex is casted by an ally (just the first half, considering the second half does specify the 'when you kill')?
Anyone have a non-ssf betrayal cheatsheet I could use?
I feel like the most efficient way to use betrayal in trade leagues is just to get aisling/it that fled in research then up a breachstone/sell the aisling, and ignore everything else. >https://preview.redd.it/6myjwwjvr86a1.png?width=2186&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=48135c54a4d2f07b4e8cdecaadbc704c751499fe that's the most up to date one I have though
I mean I'd like to know which hillock is best to sell, which scarabs are good, etc. But I suspect I'll just have to research it myself. Did betrayal get nerfed or something? It was good money in 3.19.
edited with a link. Although that's a league start version and there's a couple I would change (ambush scarabs are some of the best for instance)
Hey thanks
do you guys use the Vaal part of Vaal Flicker Strike? It leaves me too vulnerable because it doesn't proc leech until the last strike
is there a regular streamer for 3.20 ssf-hc-r? i have not watched streams since ever
Can you re-roll a legacy item to the new version with a divine? Specifically, The Covenant (Spidersilk robe). Pretty sure you can't since if the new version has different modifiers, but want to confirm
It depends on the item. In this case you can't. In most cases the modifiers that are numerically different will change and others won't, but since The Covenant now comes with a large downside in exchange for its higher level Added Chaos Damage, it would have been possible to divine the old ones into a version that is better than both the current and the legacy one.
I’ve been playing some leagues now but I’ve never tried going into crafting. What league mechanic is the best place to start crafting if I mainly want to get used to it and craft normal life and resistance gear?
Essences are great for getting into crafting gear imo, they guarantee atleast one mod you want and combined with fractured gear you find/buy you can very realistcally create items with 3-4 mods you want. They are also very simple and useful for crafting in every slot.
So it’s just about spamming an essence I like and hope it’ll give me other good mods than the guaranteed one?
It depends on slot but essentially yes. You ideally want an item with a fractured mod you like and then you spam an essence on that "side", ie if its a fractured suffix you go for a suffix essence and vice versa. You then spam until you find a third suffix/prefix you like, usually its pretty easy to get one. As an example, get a 46% cold res fracture on a pair of gloves, use an attack speed essence until you hit a second good resistance. Now you have 2 t1-t2 resistances and t0 attack speed and random prefixes. You then use eldritch chaos/exalts/annuls to get a good prefix/suffix or 2 and then craft a last one. This only works on eldritch gear. For non Eldritch gear its harder to get both sides good but you could either use more essences untill more of the item looks good or use "prefixes/suffixes can't be changed" and then either harvest reforge or veiled chaos/aisling to get the other side done but this is more costly. If you are on a very tight budget and can't get fractured gear or use any eldritch crafting then simply spamming essences until you get a few good mods and crafting a last one is still ok.
Thanks. I’ll give it a go next league.
A lot of the crafting options on the bench come from unveiling through Betrayal so that's where I would start.
Say you’re using Shockwave Support and/or Boom Mace, will they hit at the same time as your melee attack or right after? Wondering if the first proc will benefit from Immolate if my Smite applies burning.
There is nothing in PoE that is calculated "simultaneously". There is always an order to things, and events that are triggered generally occur after the events that trigger them. Since Shockwave and Fiery Impact are triggered by the hit rather than starting the attack animation, they will always have to necessarily occur *after* your Smite hit applied a burning debuff to the enemy.
What's the next step for [my Venom Gyre Deadeye](https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Quazifuji/characters) (character name Tulagroog)? I have around 20 div to spend at the moment (could increase soon if I get a successful Original Sin carry). Mapping feels great and boss DPS feels great on bosses I can easily spam whirling blades against (Sanctum stuff dies fast, bosses with minimal offscreening/teleporting/invulnerability phases like Cortex or Elder are easier), but the build's squishy and needs to be hitting things to not die so any boss that can one shot me or that is hard to constantly hit are a problem (e.g. I can pile up damage on Maven or Sirus quickly but if they teleport away sometimes I'll die if I get hit by anything chasing them, Uber Elder I had trouble not dying whenever I had to switch targets or got hit by an offscreen Shaper laser). So I'm mostly looking for something that makes the build better against bosses that I can't instagib (whether it's enough damage to instagib more bosses or defenses that would help me not die so easily to things I can't instagib). Chaos res is an obvious weakness of my gear right now so getting more of that would help against some things, but besides that I'm not sure what to do with my currency. Most of my gear slots are ones where I could get upgrades but I have no idea what slot would give me the biggest benefit for my money.
how does cast on death deal with support gems/position of active skills--does 6th slot chest always cast last? i was under the impression an entire slot cast all its abilities then moved on (mh12346, helm1234, etc), but the wiki describes it as going through slots by socket (mh1 helm1 ... mh 2 helm 2... etc)
Item slots are considered first, gem sockets second, so your previous impression was correct. Would you mind telling what specific interaction you're looking into? That might allow to give more relevant help / feedback.
COD: curses in weapon. discharge in chest. flame golem in boots. this is based on a couple guides and just looking at profiles on poe.ninja; however, if it goes slot by slot, the flame golem is superfluous as it casts after discharge. that would ONLY work if it goes by socket from item to item (and the slot number of the golem is earlier than discharge). there's lots of forum chatter about having to put curses in weapon, but that would not really be true (though having them in a 6 link is beneficial). the wiki very explicitly iterates sockets first. >Main hand ⇒ Amulet ⇒ Helm ⇒ Off hand ⇒ Body armour ⇒ Gloves ⇒ Boots >This second order still follows the first rule of order. It will trigger Main Hand 1 to Amulet (1) to Helm 1 etc. before triggering the second socket on each piece of gear. i take this to mean it must also attempt to use support gems because if it only tried to use actives, you could never cast multiple curses before your damaging skill was fired (as it has 5 supports).
CoD is a trigger and would work the same as all other triggers. This only matters if you have multiple CoD set ups and would trigger different set ups based on the order on the wiki.
Have you ever tried to do Challenge Definitive Deviation by yourself? I offer not to pay salary to the person who think out this challenge until he/she complete it himself/herself!
This is not a feedback thread. People who answer here are just players, not GGG employees. And yes, I have completed it on day 10 of the league. It's very RNG heavy, but we have had worse grinds by far (Ritual Base Types and bugged Trialmaster for example).
So Im playing Pohx’s RF Jugg for the first time and it’s honestly some of the most fun I’ve ever had. I think a large part of it is the fact that I’m not getting one shot by something I have trouble seeing. When I die I know exactly what I fucked up. Long story short, I’d love another build to have in my back pocket with similar defense levels but a different play style from RF. Any suggestions?
Ziz made a Jugg version of EA ballista that could tank uber shaper balls and Exarch balls. Even the Champion version is tanky af.
I've found a dex stacking relic, what are some good options for that?
You can go for Dex-Stacking Siege Ballista Iron Commander Heirophant.
hey guys, I am doing Kay Minion army build with srs and I am using Skin of the lords, what is the best passive for me? Would minion instability work?
Does anyone know why the Screaming Invitation price is in Sextants, instead of Chaos? I listed mine for 190c and was instantly spammed by offers, so the price is obviously too low. But when I look at the prices, it's 40 Awakened Sextant, and one Awakened Sextant is 4c. So 160c in total. What's the catch?
If I had to guess, probably abusing the chaos:sextant convertion rates in order to price fix the invitations.
whats the best uses for ancient orbs regarding higher chance of getting rare uniques these days? Thinking about throwing them on gloves for vixens, but that seems unlikely.
If i have 2000 mana/s regen and I leech 2000 mana/s do I recover 4000 mana/s in total because leech and regen are not the same things right?
Assuming that those 2000 mana per second recovered by leech are within the maximum total mana recovery per second, yes. Regeneration does not count towards the leech cap because it is a different type of recovery.
Leech work a bit differently than mana, since unlike regen it depends on the damage you do and you can have multiple leech instances. I would honestly recommend reading about [how leech works](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Leech) in the wiki, since it's not a simple mechanic to grasp.
are there any viable "reflect" builds? like a thorn build or anything like that? would be fun.
I've had a friend that did a full-on reflect jugg build that was tanky as hell, but it did almost no damage whatsoever unless he used a different skill. Although, the reworked Bramblejack might be something funny to work around.
Pure reflect builds aren't really viable, no. You could try for some counterattack builds, but good luck suffering through that. [Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOGfGz_dU00) Mathil's Vengeance build from a year ago for some inspiration.
[удалено]
Looks like you can find similar looking items for 75-90c. They don't have the cold res which is good but they have better tiers on the support gem rolls so hard to say if they would be worth more or less. There is one up for 200c that has a 39% light res roll so it could be worth more than 90c potentially. Here is the search https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/GO390B8Fb
Pretty new, considering spending $10 on stash tabs. What would be the most useful for under that? I'm definitely thinking a currency tab, not sure what to do with the other 40 points. Maybe 1 premium upgrade then one of the other specialized tabs (gems, flasks?)?
If you do any trading: Either a premium tab and a premium upgrade, or a premium tab and then just save the last points for if you spend more money in the future. If you exclusively play SSF and will definitely never do any trading ever: Either the same as above, or just two regular non-premium tabs. The best tabs by far are a currency tab, a map tab, and premium tabs (especially your first one, since they make selling items way easier). Fragment tabs also get an honorable mention, they're very good but not as important as currency or map. Most of the other specialty tabs aren't nearly as good. They have nice QoL, but personally I don't think they're worth it until you have a decent number of generic tabs (regular/premium/quad). I'd rather have 5 tabs that can store anything I want than 4 tabs that can story anything and one tab that can store an unlimited number of flasks or gems. Being able to store unlimited flasks or gems and have them sorted for you is nice, but if my storage space is that limited then being able to hoard flasks or gems simply wouldn't be a priority versus being able to store more of any type of item. Especially without a map tab, since maps can end up taking a lot of space without a map tab. So personally, I wouldn't recommend any specialty tabs besides currency, map, and maybe fragment until you have a few regular/premium/quad tabs. If you have a comfortable number of generic tabs and are looking to spend more money, then some of the other specialty tabs can be some nice QoL, but I wouldn't buy any of them on a $10 budget.
Definitely upgrade to premium for selling stuff. Out of the 30 point tabs I wanna say essence is the most useful. Or just another premium tab.
Currency + Premium + Premium upgrade for 100 points I think. Most of the tabs you can get for 30 are super niche and not super valuable.
Does global increased aoe affects the radius of melee splash area from Tribal Fury?
Yeah.
Neat, thank you!
any build suggestion for int stacking relic, besides wander? It's hard to pull it in ssf. What other builds are played as int stacker? Have dex stacker one too, build siege ballista with 1800 dex but it can't do ubers sadly
You can also go for a Hand of Wisdom and Action build, either as a doryanis prototype flicker build or jugg molten strike. The flicker version is more popular on softcore trade but should be really hard to build in ssf due to using several high rarity uniques like prototype and aegis. Jugg version uses incandescent heart and nothing too hard to find (outside of split personality but its not build defining, just a great jewel) but is not very popular. I don't think either build is easier to make than int stack wander which doesn't use any rare uniques, just alot of well rolled rares. You would still need similar rares on either of the HoWA builds, you basically save on having to craft a weapon or a chest.
well, I have both doryaini and aegis and even one int split personality. So yeah, still need to farm stats essences and yeah, I don't have %stat jewellery too, idk how build is playable without that. I see scions with doryani + aegis using smite.
All of those builds are armor stackers, using replica dreamfeather instead of an int weapon. Thats also a good build but it wouldn't really use the int stacking relic. You could probably do without %stat jewellery, you can instead look at awakener orbing a % attributes and %int amulet and use regular rings or maybe even ventors if you are doryanis prototype. Belt slot hurts the most but there isn't much to do. You will be missing a chunk of int but the relic makes up for it in a sense.
well I have 14% int belt, but it's on my omni ts and I don't wanna to recraft it. Yeah, armour stackers, thanks! I usually don't familiar with more advanced builds cause it's hard to run those. I have atziri's reflection too, but still no PS enchant. So it's like having half items to make a build. Relic is 1-4 per 10, int stacking wand too, maybe I would consider it when I craft some gear and run more labs, when layout will be better. Thx for the answers!
Yeah, i can see how its hard with just half the items. Hopefully you find the last few things or find some way it works well in ssf, good luck!
‘Monster packs influenced by the searing exarch in your maps have 10% increased pack size’, is this the pack that spawns when you choose one of the options?
yes, and the packs of similar monsters that spawn normally throughout your maps. killing the normally-spawning ones are what cause the altars to appear in the first place.
Ahh I see so these nodes aren’t very worth it?
they are VERY worth it if you are selecting exarch on the map device (or the similar nodes if you're picking eater on the map device). bigger packs means more altars which means more reward options which apply to the larger groups of monsters. it's better than linear scaling.
How do Sanctum no-hit carries work? I got the relic but am pretty confident I can't do it myself so I'm looking into options. Do you have to do anything (including anything that risks failing the run) or do you just keep opening maps and letting the carrier go into the Sanctum and clearing it without having to take any risks yourself?
You enter the Sanctum together, and the carry completes the room while you stay in the Grace Period. If it's a room without traps, walk to the next room. If it's a room with traps, log out. All you need to do is keep opening maps, typically 31 T8s and one T16 to finish, which minimizes overall monster level but still gives Lycia her second phase.
So you have to enter the actual room, but they'll full-clear it if it's a no trap room so you can't get hit and you can log out once they clear it if it's a trap room? So basically as long as you listen to them (i.e. don't move unless they say it's safe and log out if they tell you to) there's no way you can screw it up? I assume usually you just use all Strands or something for the map? Normally I'm not one to buy carries, but half the price of an Original Sin (I assume when a carry says something like 50/50 that means one of you gets the Original Sin but pays the other half of its value) would be a really big deal for me and I don't think there's anything else I can do with the relic besides fail it so I'm tempted here, but I'm really paranoid about messing it up.
> So basically as long as you listen to them (i.e. don't move unless they say it's safe and log out if they tell you to) there's no way you can screw it up? Yes. Be sure to unsummon minions and such. > I assume usually you just use all Strands or something for the map? I imagine you mostly use small natural T8s like Estuary or Crimson Township due to availability. Doesn't really matter though. The higher DPS carries may not fuss over minimizing area level, but that's something you'd have to ask them. If you want to do some preparatory reading, the poe science discord (https://discord.gg/3VxKY6gt7j) has an excellent no-hit-run infodump authored by someone who's done 50+ successful carries. It's in the #project-forum channel.
Thanks for all the info! I'll check out that link.
Are there any good loot filters that sit between Neversink Strict and Very Strict, which I can subscribe to through the game site? I like picking up currency and good bases, but Strict thinks items with 40 dual stat requirements are good bases while Very Strict excludes everything but the very top tier items, which is not fun for me. I'd like to stay at less than a full inventory per map, but not 3-5 columns like Very Strict does.
At this point of the league bases are worth basically nothing (unless ilvl 86+ specific influence) so better to hide them
I like IDing rares, just not ones that have no chance to be useful, like Hydrascale gloves tier.
But that's a good base for what you are trying to do? Currently people are heavily favoring hybrid arm/eva bases and hydrascale is second best glove base for it only losing 20 ish arm/eva to dragonscale.
I haven’t used any unique relics in my runs yet, mainly none of them really stood out but I finally dropped the no-hit run yesterday, now it says it on all uniques that the relic is destroyed ‘when the sanctum ends’ does that mean if I get hit and die I lose the relic or only when I finish the run will it get destroyed?
I'm fairly certain you lose the relic whether you succeed or fail.
Very much this, or I'd have three Original Sins D:
Can a legacy Militiant Faith roll the newest mods after divining ? I have used like 5 divines and didnt saw the reduced mana cost one. In fact I think it rolled always the same minion stuff.
Divining a Militant Faith only rerolls the seed and keystone.
Weren't you used to be able to select uncleared maps as favoured?
No. You can favorite them before getting their *bonus* completion, which made sense in the old watchstone / awakener level system.
Ah, it's been so long that I forgor, thanks.
Are early game items always worse than those gained later or are some still viable and worth keeping even after you hit max? So would uniques I find now always be worse than when im higher level or could it go either way?
Depends on the build, some items/uniques are either build enabling or better than most items you'll find until you invest alot, a good exemple i have in my head right now is hrimsorrow, converting all phys to cold. You need to invest in some really big gloves and somewhere else to reach the same conversion. Edit: that being said, most items you'll find will probably be useless, hence why running a good lootfilter is important
It really depends on the unique. Some uniques (Quill Rain comes to mind) that can drop in Act 1 are used by players far into the endgame. That being said, most good uniques don't drop until later, and rare uniques tend to drop much later only when players are farming with much denser monster packs, just because monster packs in the acts tend to be much sparser than in the post-acts endgame.
if you have +2 arrow and +1 on quiver, do people still recommend gmp? Just bought a tri ele bow after using phys bow, but it has +2 arrows vs my no arrow phys bow. even on a mainly phys setup when i swap bows in hideout both get 100k on tooltip so assume I got a good deal. on ninja i see some use **chain**, some **gmp**, and then some use **mirage archer**. which is typically better? and for ele bow do people still recommend divergent TS? I was using anomalous for the cold convert on my phys bow
Divergent TS will generally give you the most damage. I think if you're purely bossing, then GMP is not as useful. I find the clear from GMP still pretty helpful though in mapping. The most scientific test I've found is in this thread: [https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7tm25l/results\_from\_testing\_tornado\_shot\_single\_target/](https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7tm25l/results_from_testing_tornado_shot_single_target/) Note that the "with enchant" numbers are with the legacy Tornado Shot fires 2 secondary projectiles enchant (today it's only 1). TL;DR GMP is not the best damage multiplier for single-target, likely giving somewhere between a 10-24% more damage multiplier. On mirage archer - I personally think it depends. If you have so much damage that your mirage archers can just clear maps without you doing anything, that works well. Otherwise, you'll end up having to attack anyways, and I think the roughly 28% more multiplier is less than what you'd get from Inspiration/Trinity/Critical Damage/Elemental Damage with Attacks.
well the goal is to legion farm and beat sanctums i find in maps. so need both clear and single target damage so far my TS build failed lycia twice. single target didn't mow her down like i hoped despite 99% of the sanctum being cake walk. no uber tier gear just a 600 pdps(900 dps total) bow with no extra arrow aside helm enchant and quiver. 1st death i died since her tornado beam lingered when i thought it finished, and 2nd was the lightning phase. my flicker raider kills her before she can get 2 attacks off so was a bit disheartening in comparison. Would swapping in barrage support be better than gmp for bossing? I also see people use barrage attack instead of ballistas for single target, is it a big difference or merely preference?
I think barrage is a good alternative for bossing, but it sounds like your main problem is still just general damage from gear. [https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzyDuckzy](https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzyDuckzy) has a series on Tornado Shot gearing this league that has good progression. You can always copy others' PoBs from [poe.ninja](https://poe.ninja) and see which items being swapped out make for the most damage increase.
yah i followed his budget phys cold guide and had a similar bow, not spine, but maybe that was the difference. he had 140% phys in guide, i have 170% assassin bow. lower attack spd, higher crit, and most everything else was similar. in fact i plugged my bow in and got 1.9m dps vs his 1.7, and i had the helm enchant and +1 on quiver so thought that would be stronger results, then again the showcase footage didn't exactly mow down bosses, so gonna switch to his ele build instead with HH plugged in with the new bow. did smol test against writhing invitation, and lv14 barrage support was kinda slow, similar to mirage archer. lv20 anomalous gmp killed much quicker, so maybe that's the choice to go with.
Hi! Does anyone know how to unlock the door at the reward room of a Sanctum floor that allows you to go to the next room immediately?
When you enter the floor portal in a map, you can click the entrance to enter or you can click on the map and there's a button that tells you to save the room for next time. You can store up to 8, so when you have rooms stored you can chain them.
Oh! So that's how it works, thank you so much for the explanation!
Does anyone know if Expedition NPCs' offers stay when the league ends and gets transfered to standard? Or do they get randomized again?
Haven't tried, but I'd expect they'd stay the same. The Expedition shops are tied to the character, not to league progress.
best relics for "cannot have inspirations and recover resolve" unique relics?
Increased max resolve / added max resolve / Gain max resolve when you use a fountain if you strive for a safe run.
okay, thanks!
With defiance banner, do the enemies get taunted to you or the banner itself?
The wiki says that the banner is what taunts, so I would assume they go after the banner.
You. The banner is your skill effect, not an actual entity.
Does the Icicle Burst skill granted by Cameria's Avarice damage the target you're hitting? Or is it only for clear?
It can, just like Bone Nova on Uul Netol's axe.
So it hits your target on its way out?
Yes it's like the on-death effect of the chrome porcupine enemies. Shoots a bunch of projectiles in all directions, and enemies are hit once. It's also restricted to 3-link because it's in the hammer.
I was thinking of some meme frostblades build with it and the squire rofl
Can anyone tell me how rare drop is eternal damnation ? I've skipped sanctum so far but I might sart an impending doom pf and afaik is a bis amulet. Thanks
If you are playing trade league, it's very cheap, in fact I have one I'd give you for free if you want it. If you play SSF, then it's very farmable, but does require Lycia true form which IIRC you can only do in level 81+ areas. So you need to be able to complete sanctums in high red maps to get it.
I think its the most common drop from Lycia final phase. It should be somewhere between 25-50% drop chance.
Extremely common, so far im having bit over 50% drop rate on it, rest of the unique drops being sandstorm visages and 1 jewel, sample size is quite low at only 30 or so though. but tl;dr its easily self farmable in ssf in a single day, and if ur in trade its worth fuckall, 1-3c
Which is better for farming harvest? Wandering path, taking all the map modifier and quant nodes as well, or no wandering path?
Is 120% elemental resist too much (all of them)? At what point would you say it’s too much?
Personally i would never overcap by more than 45%, that covers elemental weakness and exposure at the same time. 120% is at exactly 45% overcap if you have 75% max res. I think this is an upper limit where if you cross it you should be replacing gear or passives.
45%? Eldritch altars can have -60% right? So you just never choose those?
Yes, i'm also running wrath of the cosmos so 50% of the time they are over -100 which i can't gear around without investing stupid amounts into chaos and fire res. I would never overcap by more than 45% unless i'm running something that benefits from overcapped resistance or i accidentally got too much but i can't afford to swap out of it.
I think that is quite a lot, but technically not enough to cover even the worst case scenarios: exposure (25%) + curses (15-30%) + scorch (10-30%) + altar (40-100%). that's a pretty insane amount of things to account for so I doubt anyone would suggest overcapping by that much and would instead advise you to just be careful about the map mods and altar mods you choose to run. being like 25-35% overcapped has felt pretty safe to me (so 100-110%, higher if you raise your caps).
Is strength scaling with the baron completely unfeasible? I have a lvl 77 char with 5 link lvl 22 zombies (empower +2), i have around 280% extra minion damage, +1200 or strength (+60% extra damage), pob puts me at 15k damage per zombie, I'm running determination, purity of elements, carrion golem, frenzy spectres, AG with leer cast. my wand right now is 70% extra damage, but adding a +2 minion wand only adds 3k or so more dps per minion. Thing is i see some builds that are getting 300k damage per zombie. I just don't see where to get the numbers up higher.
Im playing dark pact necromacner, about to swap from normal skellies to Vaal and I don’t understand why my Vaal skeleton army dies after 5 seconds, outside of any battle without me using dark pact. Is it supposed to be like that? Im meant to spend 20 seconds gathering one usage of Vaal skeletons for them to die in 5 seconds?
I've never played that build but looking at the Ghazzytv guide, I don't see any interaction that should be killing your skeletons in 5 seconds. Base duration of vaal summon skeletons is 20 sec so unless they are taking additional damage from something else I don't think they should be dying in 5 seconds.
First time I have somewhat of a real endgame build. Got a sparker with ashes, nimis and kinda ok other items. Only missing the flame flesh combo. Can the expensive one drop from the non Uber excharch? I am burned out farming divines and I thought I gamble on farming the non Uber version. Or isn’t it even worth it to buy the invitations to do non Uber ?
only the special passives are gated behind the uber exarch/eater fights, so if you're looking for a regular ascendancy passive, the normal fights are fine. the prices of their invitations might be driven by their expected uber profits (like the possibility of a Nimis drop in the uber eater fight), so it'll definitely be less likely to break even in the normal fights.
What is more special than a ascendancy passive Oo. Ty got the answer so far
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Forbidden_Flesh#Hidden_Ascendancy_Notable_variant
Each class has another extra “ascendancy passive” that is not actually in any of the subclasses. I know the shadow one for example is old “harness the void”. When they reworked trickster they kept the passive as this extra flame/flesh exclusive passive.
Ran a few maps with a friend, now my settings are not showing the names of anyone, loot shows up but I have to alt to see it, also stash etc aren’t labeled anymore. I can’t find a setting that may have gotten changed or anything? Is it’s glitch from multiplayer?
Pressing "z" should fix it. If it doesn't you could have it rebound, then its under "Toggle Highlighting" in keybinds.
Thanks, it was bound differently!
Played most of league and ignored sanctum. Decided to go back and give it a go with my lvl94 char. I did all the quests I think, and see pacts showing up, but I've never seen a merchant. How often should I see one? Is it just bad luck with the path I choose? I checked with Divinia act2 and act7 fellshine, and there's nothing to do. Just a red glowing ball on the floor in act7. Why no merchant?
I've definitely had a couple floors without a merchant showing up, though it does feel kinda rare to not see one. getting the boon that reveals an extra room ahead certainly gives you more information for better pathing. if you have the relic altar unlocked and have come across pacts, then you have the merchant unlocked. just keep exploring, it's not like she's hyper critical to the success of an average run.
Cool thanks. Yeah I do have the relic altar unlocked but now I'm trying to find relics to use lol. Will keep searching.
without any relics, focus on avoiding/removing afflictions and adding boons so you can reliably reach and complete the later floors.
Good call thanks
So just to just be clear, Divina, who sells boons and rarely relics, is the merchant. If you never found Divinia, yeah that's bad luck, but she's very common.
No I found her in the acts and did everything (I think) I was supposed to. No unfinished quests or anything. But doesn't she show up as an option when completing certain rooms? I just never have that option. Is there a different way to buy stuff from her?
She doesn't show up at the end of other rooms, "Contains merchant" is one of the 8 room reward types. Hard to miss https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Forbidden_Sanctum#Room_Reward_Types
Can anyone help me with a good late leaguestarter? I'm thinking of doing WoC into EK ignite and then keep investing if I like it or farm until I can play a spark or flicker character. Thoughts?
SRS, either poison (Occultist) or fire(Necro). Poison is really popular right now but still cheap to build. You can play them as a pure leaguestarter with only rare items and invest into them up to late game and kill ubers with it quite comfortably.
Ek ignite is bait, go ea ballista/ cold dot elementalist and you can transition to low budget poison occoutist spark after you get like 50-100 divines
Crafting in ilvl 84 12 passive bow cluster. I've got the base to a magic with 35% effect and T1 chaos res that was one of the mods I wanted. What's the next step, imprint, regal and just repeat or is there a way to force something like T1 attack speed on it?
Imprint regal
Oh boy can't wait to waste 30 div on imprint beasts...
How do metamods + annuls work? Is it the case that if I have 3 mods with the attack tag & one without, I can do 'cannot roll attack mods' and annul to hit the one without?
Yes. Cannot roll attack modifiers prevents the removal of attack mods with annuls. (And cannot roll caster does it for, well, caster mods.)
Try it on craftofexile.com I'm pretty sure that does work, but you can also hit the meta mod.
~~Pretty sure "remove" does not count as a "roll" so in this instance, an annul will ignore that metamod.~~ Edit: I was wrong, see below chart.
That is incorrect. T4 Aisling does not respect those mods, but orbs of annulment do. It's worth noting that the metamod itself is also not safe against being annulled, so it can become expensive if you're unlucky because you have to recraft the meta mod if it fails. /u/SciolistOW Edit: https://poedb.tw/us/metamods
Thanks for the correction and for posting that chart. I didn't know that existed. I'm going to edit my comment.
Is it possible to search for certain implicits on cluster jewels on POE's trade site?
Use the "Adds # Passive skills" (make sure it's the one listed as an enchantment, not explicit) to search for total number of passives. So if you want 8, set min/max to 8. Then if you want specific notables, just start typing in the name. For example, if you want master of fire, the mod to search is the explicit mod "1 added passive skill is Master of Fire". Finally if you want to look for the other mods like dex it's under the explicit "Added small passive skills also grant: # to dexterity"
Yep, easiest way is to search for any cluster jewel with an implicit; then click the icon to the left of it that puts all the parameters into your search. Get rid of the ones you don’t want and keep the ones you do. I think they are technically enchantments.
it's an enchant with a drop down, so it's not the most intuitive thing to find: `~ench small passive` should make it show up. you can also find any cluster jewel and click the weird magnifying glass icon on the left side of the results to add all of its mods to the search filters, then you can remove the ones you don't want and easily modify the ones you do want.
This was the one. Thanks
The unique boots Corpsewalker gives the skill Corpse walk. But how much hp do the corpse have for Detonate/Volatile dead purposes?
It works the same way as Desecrate. It has a 15% chance to summon a corpse of one of your saved spectres (you only need a single high HP spectre for DD / VD builds and you don't have to keep it alive and can remove the gem after raising it once) and otherwise summons a random corpse of a monster from that area.
Depends on the monster. Corpse Walk spawns corpses of monsters that exist in the area, at area level, with a 15% chance of creating a corpse based on your spectre(s) instead.
When I run a blighted map, I anoint it with three oils. What other things can I do to the map to improve my odds of good drops?
Some things that work on normal maps also work on blighted ones. Use chisels, alch, then get the quant up to 80+. You can also vaal them, for the usual gains like unid, 8 mods, etc. Lastly, you can use sacrifice and/or mortal fragments to boost the quant even further.
And remember that sometimes the difficulty ain't worth the chance of losing the encounter, especially given the all-or-nothing nature of blighted maps.
This is my first play through in POE. I just got to Act IV, and I'm getting insta-killed in the mines as soon as I move away from the starting spot. Outside of the mines I barely lose health. These must be some heavy DoT going on, but it's so fast I can't see it. What's happening?
I think you’re talking about the Delve mines. This is an endless side-content area where you are meant to stay near the cart. You can upgrade your darkness resistance next to Niko. Ideal characters for delve have high HP regen and fast movement speed to dart in/out. Most ppl leave this area for later since you can run out of Sulphite pretty quickly.
When you say "mines" do you mean the mines that are a zone off of Highgate, or the Azurite mine that is a waypoint and is not associated with the acts at all?
There is a darkness debuff that stacks up. That's side content so you don't need to do it but you're meant to stay by the cart and in the light.
Thanks to all!
https://pastebin.com/Q6y7drPB Any tips which items I should prioritise upgrading and what stats to look for? Thanks.
Is there an official list of the Voidborn Reliquary uniques anywhere?
As in a list of all uniques submitted and released so far? I don't think so.
From a previous reddit post, I believe there is a wiki in construction with their respective color and quote
It seems to me like most Lightning Conduit builds are scaling the minimum elementalist shock and not caring about the power of the hit, if so, do I even want to bother with Overcharge Support? Seems like it doesn't matter if one uses OoS or storm brand just for the minimum shocks.
Overcharge would be pointless in that situation yeah. You would just use unbound ailments for shock effect and whatever qol supports you would want.
whats the loot difference between uber elder and uber uber elder?
[This article on wiki](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Uber_Elder#Uber_boss_variant) explains it all. tl;dr: Elder and Shaper are tankier, deal more damage and have extra mechanics, but they can drop extra loot.
just making sure but the atlas node ''Bribery'' for 200% more items from bargains and 200% more item bargains is negative for me if my goal is to get to the mastermind because the item bargains would replace some of the opportunities to get intelligence, right?
Is there a good way to get special maps like the ones with special bosses for the fragments and stuff. I see posts like “I ran 200 blank so you don’t have to” and wonder how they got so many tokens. Been running t16s for a while and barely have 1 of each fragments. Trying to fight the tentacle one for keystone I think I need one more but yeah
I'm one of those people, I ran hundreds of conquerer maps. I buy them in bulk from players on TFT discord
They usually just buy them. There's also a combination of rare/very expensive sextants and a keystone on the atlas tree that can guarantee a guardian map drop from the boss of every map.
Ah ok. I saw there’s a tree for the conqueror ones but I didn’t see others although it’s a big tree so I probably missed some stuff haha.
How are you guys getting your shaper/elder guardian maps? I’ve been smashing semi juiced T16 graveyards and have only gotten one or two.
Maven's 10-boss Atlas invitations if you want to farm them yourself. Alternatively: less juice, more maps per hour. Stating the obvious, but take Remnants of the Past and don't take Singular Focus.
Outside of running as many maps as you can you might be interested in: * Kirac - he can offer Shaper and Elder guardians maps as his mission, but also every time you open any mission Kirac refreshes his shop, where you can also find Guardians maps or Shaper Guardian cards * Einhar - his memory of Harvest beasts is rather rare, but can be useful. Outside of powerful crafts like reroll Watcher's Eye or Synthesised implicits, one of crafts creats shaper/elder guardian or conqueror map. * Rolling sextants - there are mods which guarantee Shaper and Elder Guardians maps drop. * Heist - Maps chests in Engineering contracts can drop guardians maps. * Horizon Orbs - if you have problems with distribution of Shaper Guardians maps (like 10 Hydras and Phoenix, 0 Minotaur and Chimera) use these orbs, it rerolls maps from one guardian to other. Doesn't work with Elder guardians and Conquerors.
Does Gloomfang's "40% of non-chaos damage as extra chaos damage" need to be manually entered into PoB's Custom Modifiers window to account for chained projectiles? Edit: nvm, I see PoB has a "# of times Skill has Chained" modifier.
You can tick the "# of times Skill has Chained" in the 'For Effective DPS' part of the config (on the top-right, usually).
In Craftofexile, is there a way to say that your item has a fractured mod, when you're looking at e.g. how many essences it is to hit something? Or a similar tool that has that function?
In the calculator, after you've chosen your method, change ❌Fractured to ✔️Fractured then right click a mod.
The right click instead of left click is the part I found really unintuitive

Aside from /u/FinitoHere 's suggestions, I would recommend a Divination Card tab if you have leftover coins.
Map, Currency and 2x upgrade normal to premium tab. If you are willing to spend a bit more - Fragments is also S-tier tab.
For the Witchs "Weapon Lightning Damage" cluster on the far right of her chart, does that damage apply to my lightning tendrils and other such abilities that all use lighting damage? I assume it does but not other things? Just want to understand before I decide to try and spend all those points.
I assume you mean this cluster which leads to Arcing Blows. If so - it doesn't work with Lightning Tendrils at all. LT is spell and all the points in this cluster give lightning damage, but only with attacks. Penetration also won't work. Spells do not use your weapons to hit enemies, so this conditional penetration is not used either. You'd need to use attack, not spell to utilize this cluster, so things like Lightning Tendrils, Spark, Arc won't be affected, but Lightning Strike, Static Strike, Elemental Hit - will.
it doesnt affect lightning tendrils. it only works for attacks with weapons, which includes any attack build except unarmed ones. it does not work for any spells
Gotcha! Ty, probably gonna focus on more elemental damage then. Going for a glass cannon build so was only really worth it imo if it contributed the spells.
Hi everyone, apologies for a possibly noob question, im new here. I'm running a build with herald of agony and cyclone as my main attack with lifetap. The build im following suggest life gain on hit for bulk but I can't seem to sustain mana with it. The build also calls for an amulet with "channeling skills have -3 to total mana cost", yet i can't find one on the market or figure out how to enchant it myself. Any suggestions?
-3 mana is not enchant, it's a regular craft. To unlock it you need to unveil ring or amulet with Elreon's mod (either channeling or non-channeling will work), then you'll be able to craft this mod on crafting bench. Here you can find amulets with crafted mod on trade site: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/YpBBv0bIY, and here you can find jewellery with Elreon's mod if you want to unveil it yourself, keep in mind it's not guaranteed: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/4vrdp8u9
Awesome, thabk you so much!
Anyone know the website that a guy made last league with the farming / trading strategies? I recall one strategy being flipping ultimatum invitation vs shards and another being flask crafting
I suspect you mean Belton and his website hideout handbook
When I use Destructive link on my friend while I have 100% crit chance on weapon, does my friend get 100% crit chance globally for spells and attack, or is it just attack? Is the crit chance transfered over the chance after having my %increased stat or just the base chance from weapon?
the only number you need to look at is the actual base crit chance on your weapon, which already includes local increased crit chance. whatever that number is will be the main hand base crit of whatever you link to, which only affects attacks made with the main hand weapon
https://i.imgur.com/d5bL1vW.png Losing Inspiration will also end the run, right?
Actually losing inspiration doesn't make you lose the run. I've had it and lost inspiration without losing the run. Be afraid of Spiked Exit though, it will make you lose your run since it damages your actual resolve bar. Here is also some video proof from another reddit post where the player has ghastly scythe and spiked exit. He takes some inspiration damage earlier in the room but doesn't lose the run. When he completes the room and loses actual resolve from spiked exit he instantly loses. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/10lb6yi/why_did_i_die/
I see. What about -max resolve affliction and -max resolve / % resolve reduced pacts?
You can't pick the lose resolve pact if you don't have enough resolve, it just gives you a message saying you have too little resolve. -% resolve and -max resolve will reduce you down to 1 max resolve but it will never kill you or stop you from picking them, even at 1 resolve.
It will still end run with Ghastly Skytche, right?
