Is there a way to import spectre data into PoB for all of those that are missing somehow? I was shocked it didn't even have Solar Guards (not because I was planning to use them but because they're one of the most talked about spectre monsters since 3.0) much less the poo poo I'm looking to use.
Nope.

...3.0 changed the way monster skills scale with level. Previously, most monster and minion skills (particularly spells) had multiple levels, with the monster using the highest level for which they met the level requirement. In 3.0 however, a continuous scaling system was introduced which determines the stat values for a monster's skills based on its level, as well as various parameters specific to the skill
...
but the formula for that scaling has thus far eluded me. I suspect it is some sort of complex exponential formula, but how that formula is structured and the manner in which its parameters relate into Multiplier2 is a mystery.

I would like to request some Path of Exile veteran in the thread to take look at this build posted in the PoE Forums and tell me how retarded/actually viable it is, since I'm still fairly new at the game and can't tell immediately.

It's basically Sunder + Cast on Melee Kill Cremation which sounds pretty fun and thematic for me, but have no idea how that would work in endgame content.

For single target you're supposed to switch to some weird trap/mine combination that I'm not used to

- Shaper 1h swords (maybe weapons in general) can get 40% phys added as cold/fire as well as 10% ele pen. This has been going around but yes, this means you can dual wield swords that give 80% phys added as cold, 80% phys added as fire, and damage penetrates 20% of ele resist as a phys -> ele conversion caster and it's probably the most broken thing the new items can do.

I don't think there is a great unique chest for ED/Contagion to use it on. Shavs if you want to drop MoM and go LL or Cospri's for another curse but that would waste the poison and no life. Belly is always good too. Maybe better to sell it and put it toward a cheap 6 link chest or try to find a +3 staff.

So here are the three I'm torn between:

Cloak of Defiance

Death's Oath

Cherrubim's Maleficence

cloak and cherrubim's are both great, death's oath is kind of gimmicky and probably not very good (the wiki is busted rn but also iirc it's pure armor, which means coloring it will be a nightmare)

worst case grab a decent chest with life/mana/some resists and throw it on that. carnal armour is a good base for that since it also comes with implicit mana and is easy to color.

the only point against cloak i can really think of is that it'll bump your MoM ratio to 67%, which means you'll need to run a lower level clarity, get a heretic's veil, or get an impresence which will be expensive as gently caress for a long time (or some combination of those if you plan to run dual curse)

e2: nvm i forgot how MoM works you just need to stack a shitload of mana

flat chaos damage doesnt affect the dot portion of ED so it'd only be a small increase to the initial hit's damage

for ED abyss jewels you probably want the following:

- + max life
- + max mana
- + max ES (if you swap to lowlife)
- % increased damage over time with shield/two-handed weapon (depending on whether you're using a staff or 1h/shield; i prefer the latter for shield charge)
- % cast speed (non-crit version; more QoL than anything but it is a small dps increase for blight/if you're spamming ED for the upfront damage)

it's honestly likely that regular jewels are better since you can get 4 damage mods on those or 3 + life

at first I was like "why the gently caress is sunder linked like that you will have no dps!", but the staff explains everything (also holy gently caress that staff)

the staff is 11c right now and will drop so have a go, until someone makes a popular video then goodbye sweet prince

Anyone have any specific recommendations for bow ranger builds? Many of them seem to use almost exactly the same passive tree, but it's hard to tell which are reasonable for a first character gear wise. I've been looking at Doomfletch but I can't tell if it's actually any good, and Tornado Shot isn't the best feeling ability ever.

Doomfletch is tier 1 endgame viable Shapper farming Uber farming etc, just use a skill you like. Edit oh yeah don't go Deadeye, go Pathfinder if you expect to make infinte money, Raider if you're casual.

I went Raider for now, seems Pathfinder is kind of poo poo until you have all the flasks and poo poo. You think it's fine to just switch AOE skill to whatever? I'm not sure how Doomfletch interacts with skills that have their own damage conversions.

I league started DP totem Ascendant and I want to start a second character who is a better lab runner or boss killer. What build do people usually do for those qotf lab farmers?

Also for a boss killer is blade flurry or frost blades better?

Pathfinder is perfectly fine without infinite money, it probably does better than the others in SSF just because of how good even regular flasks become.
Deadeye is fantastic if what you want to do is just clear maps without having to be on the same screen.
Raider is for when you really, really love having frenzy charges for free and being immune to any elemental statuses.


Dps-wise, Deadeye can hit it's peak quicker than the other two because it's not so reliant on gear, but Pathfinder is the 'hurf blurf look at my pob link' level of dps nerdery.

Pathfinder blade vortex for lab, and blade flurry for sure for bosses of the two, though molten strike synergizes well with frost blades for boss killing if you want to go that route.

Pathfinder sounds fiddly and spergy but the reality is you just always have flasks and if you feel like doing some really careful shopping it's also infinite damage.

the bow really only looks at what phys dps you could do, all conversions happen but dont interact with the mods

So I'm using this build:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1926743

Am I missing something or is the only Life Leech he has from his Ascendancy talents? I'm just getting to A4 and I could pick up Vaal Pack but the only Leech I have is from my Berserker's "Pain Reaver" talent. I suspect this won't be enough to sustain me without potions at my level.

I guess I could just Refund a passive if it doesn't work out, but I'm at work and just looking over this guide and was confused.

When using Ngamahu's with Cyclone, does the cyclone skill want to be linked to anything? I know most of the damage comes from the Molten Burst, but it seems like faster attacks or something would make the Bursts faster.

Does Cyclone really want to be single-socketed?

Which one do you guys like most for a Volatile Dead build? (This is Ultima's guy, but I'm following the same tree https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/ultima66/characters)

I'm not sure how much to value something like 8% spell damage against 32-50 cold damage to spells, and I'm not confident enough in my ability to use PoB to give me an accurate answer.
