I was wondering why it seemed like my Blasphemy curse wasn't covering much area, and then I found out the base radius for curses was not increased with the AoE changes, and Blasphemy's aoe bonus was not boosted either. So Blasphemy was super nerfed and might be worthless for anything other than close range curse purposes now, unless you boost its aoe via things specifically meant to boost curse/aura aoe. Star of Wraeclast, anyone? Nevermind, due to the large raw increased aoe you get from high level curse and blasphemy gems(around 150%), decreasing returns are in full effect.

Heck, so were self-cast curses. Curse on hit is the only method of cursing that remained the same.

These are good for the children's brains.
With scorching ray totems, am I reading the wiki correctly that they all work together to create a single debuff stack, at which point all of them separately do max damage? That seems extremely strong on a hierophant. I guess it's probably pretty bad for clearing packs, but it seems like that would melt bosses.

I played triple scorching ray totem Heirophant with EE (through using a 4L orb of storms) last league. It was a great build, got to lvl 92 and easily hit 14k ES and 1k ES regen per second, could farm all of the guardians smoothly. It could not, however, kill Shaper. Everything he does 1-shots the totems, and eventually I would lose the DPS race to vortex balls filling the arena in phase 2 which meant I had nowhere to place totems and nowhere to stand. Maybe it's doable with a lvl 4 empower and lvl 21 scorching ray, but sheesh.

Anyway, the totems clear packs faster than you would expect! I was clearing red maps about as fast as I could place totems > walk > place new totems.

Yeah I can see shaper being rough after a while because you'd start running out of places to put the totems. Do you remember what your dps was, either tooltip or on path of building?

My experience with shaper is that around 200k dps on PoB makes him possible but not easy, and around 300k he starts to go down fast enough that you're not getting overwhelmed in the later phases. I know real dps varies a decent amount from build to build, but I'm drawing those dps thresholds from a righteous fire/scorching ray self cast background so I'd expect them to be pretty comparable.

I ask because I'm looking at something like this for a life/MoM build and it looks like I can get those numbers with a 5l searing touch. Would end up with pretty solid defenses as well, with a good amount of upgrade room.

Are divination card chests any good? Just got this prophecy:



Never seen that before, so I checked trade (tried a few variations on the text) and...nothing:

That's not a divination card chest, unfortunately. It's a prophecy that predates divination chests. You will likely get two copies of Her Mask and maybe The Gambler.

Ah, ok, it's trash.

Thought I had got the hang of that search - text in the 'Name' box is great for uniques, but a bit flaky on anything else, so I normally pick the type of item and try to narrow it down.

I always read 2c on a prophecy is "I want to make the sealing cost back". 1c is "I want this one out of my menu even at a loss"

It's exact matches only. Meaning precise spelling, apostrophes in the proper positions, no missing words. Especially for div cards and prophecies they don't always show up in the unique list.

Last time I got a div card chest I got the card that gives you 5c, so I'm going to assume that happens every time for everyone.

If you use vorici to 6 socket an item with low enough itemlevel that it couldn't naturally roll 6 sockets, can you still get a 6link on it with fusings afterwards?

I think so?

I mean, there's only a restriction on the number of sockets. We know of no restriction on links for lower level items except that they typically can't have enough sockets to link in the first place.

Other than relinking the chest that I tried to 6l out of stupidity and getting all my gems to 20/20, I don't really see how I can get gear upgrades at this point without dropping a ton of money. I need 6ls, a +1 arrow drillneck, a barrage enchant, and better jewelry (more life, chaos res, chaos damage from essence/eleron), but all of that is going to cost multiple exalts. I don't feel comfortable running above t11-12 maps and uber lab is still iffy, so it feels like I've kind of hit a wall unless I get a shav's drop or something. Any suggestions?

I thought there was a red looking essence that you could drop and a monster could pick it up and become turned into a rare. I don't remember the name of the essence but will look it up once I am off work. I only remember it because it is worth a few chaos and was going to sell them.

You're probably thinking of Remnant of Corruption, which you can use on imprisoned essence monsters to possibly change the essences it has or possibly to suprise release it in a powered up form.
