I would imagine this is going to get patched, but you can force maps by using a divine vessel with a rare map and use the "random map of the same tier" it will keep telling you that you cannot use the divine vessel in that map until you hit a map that works with the divine vessel.

Does not cost a chaos each time.

I have wanted to play Volatile Dead so badly but have a strange refusal to use Poet's Pens. The only build I could find for VD totems on poeninja is this and it actually looks pretty great. Anyone with actual knowledge of this type of build have any suggestions before I hop into this?

You could use cast on channeling or cast on crit but I'm pretty sure doing so will just be inferior to poet's pens. Cast on channeling, a channel spell, a corpse generator, volatile dead. I fiddled with it a bit before I got my Poet's Pens I think it might work but your casting volatile half as often just to generate those corpses.

Inpulsa's over Mantle with the Arc totem Hierophant

I keep seeing goons talk about this but Inpulsa's only explodes enemies that you kill yourself, it really isn't optimal with totems, traps or mines. An extra totem is likely to be far more effective.

its the same distinction that makes enchants like "damage penetrates x resists if you havent killed recently" very good for traps and totems. you are never killing anything only your totems are.

You do not need 4 totems to make it work. You just want two totems, and get lots of cast speed. You will leech from your totems so that scepter seems kinda redundant. I think doryani's catalyst will be your most dps. I bet you could go dual void batteries and go crit, but the cheaper and tankier version will be EO. I did the blood magic and clear mind thing too. I would spring for an Essence Worm and get Anger aura.

The cast speed VD Enchant is usually dirt cheap, so it helps this build a lot. I don't like self-flag, soul mantle, kikazaru. You're sacrificing defense with those ring and chest slots.

Open the chest! You simply kite the dude away for a bit, then pop your movement skill to zap back to the chest and open it. It's easy.

i bought the cheapest/worst possible inpulsa for a similar build this league and forgot to divine it and it pops high red maps like they're white maps anyway

As an FYI, much like the labyrinth traps, Darkness damage doesn't take Mind Over Matter style effects into account. I last until 23 stacks with MOM on, but only 19 without it (with or without gear, so it's definitely % based), so it's great for exploring between checkpoints in the mines.

Why do people use spell echo with spectres? All the tooltips I see and when its in the socket doesnt show it linking with the skill.



Is it a tooltip error?

Supports linked to minion gems will also support any skills the minions use.

(Anyway unless they changed something the tooltip is just wrong, spell echo does (or did, last league) annoyingly support the raise spectre skill itself)

The tooltip is wrong. Make sure that you only insert spell echo after you have raised your spectres, otherwise you'll raise two at a time and wont have control over which ones you raise.

I've noticed some other similar errors, like Curse on Hit saying it will link with minion gems. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

Like others have said it works just fine with spectre casts and is a significant dps boost - especially with solars as it turns them into rapid fire death turrets.

Anyone else getting insane latency spikes when going to most maps? Sitting in town my ping is usually 30ms or so but the second I start almost any map it randomly spikes between 100-1000. This hasn't been A Thing for me before and I'm 100% convinced it's on GGG's side.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Apparently there is a problem with the instance servers or something so sometimes you will just have horrendously bad latency. I assume that is still ongoing - reset the instance if you can. Hope it wasnt a fully chiselled corrupted guardian map with zana mods!

It should. Inpulsa says nothing about lightning, it only mentions shocked.
