Try running a granite flask with the armor boosting mod and molten shell. I get like 1400 absorb with molten shell, but it jumps to 5100 when I pop said granite flask. Link it with increased duration and efficacy so you get 5.5 seconds or so duration. Is the huge deduction in resistances new to this League? I can't get my resistances up :< Maybe there is a pill for that.

Between pride, precision, blood and sand, flesh and stone + maim, and dread banner, what do people run with cyclone? I've been doing pride, b&s, f&s + maim, and dread banner but want to get rid of some accuracy passives on the tree so I started using precision. But now that means it's really difficult to run dread banner without more -mana cost. Also, is pob overvaluing accuracy or something? Oh well

NuckmasterJ posted:Hey dudes, noob noob here taking another crack at a PoE league. I'm kind of stuck though on a boss and I could use some goon advice with a really easy boss last time, the Brine King. It seems like his fight has changed and now if you touch him you die instantly. As a Melee character (Of course Cyclone/Impale) I'm finding this to be a bit of a challenge. Every now and then he stops and farts out some ice balls then continues to murder me. When he brings the water in and the ice balls start falling from the sky, you can safely walk through the Brine King's model without taking damage. It's not a good idea to stand in the middle of the crab because you can't see if one of the balls is going to impact there, but you can walk through him to safety.

Just do precision+blood magic if you want to fit in the full physical lineup without grabbing reservation reductions from the tree.

Would someone mind breaking down how people get one of these and how difficult/expensive it is? I'm looking at hoag builds on poe.ninja and these bows seem extremely ubiquitous, so I reckon they can't be THAT hard to make, but I also know gently caress all about crafting. I know that multiple crafts is a pale court recipe, but that's about as far as I got.

I had a thought, and I'm sure someone else has beaten me to this and sorted it out but. I'm running a cyclone Slayer and managed to get my hands on a Daresso's Amulet that gives me 60% more damage at full life. One of my issues is that with only 40 ES, enemies tend to get stray hits and chew through a bit of my health even with massive leech. Enter Soul Tether. Would it be worth it to give up my belt slot for Soul Tether? Leeching would then apply to my ES thus possibly keeping me at full health much longer and thus doing the 60% increased damage from my amulet?

I can't make up my mind between going chieftain tectonic slam and leaning hard into fire damage, or going juggernaut tectonic slam for more endurance charges and survivability. Has anyone tried either this league or have any pertinent advice?

Saxophone posted:I had a thought, and I'm sure someone else has beaten me to this and sorted it out but. It's 60% INCREASED, not more - so it's like the effect of 3-4 damage passive nodes since increased stack additively with your other damage bonuses, while MORE stacks multiplicatively. Not worth building around, imo. But Soul Tether is GREAT for non-slayers because it lets you get "Continue leeching at full life" from Slayer's Brutal Fervour keystone, which is a really great survivability passive. Unfortunately the sweet Endless Hunger is gated behind Brutal Fervour, so as a slayer you don't get that much benefit. But if you get the Corrupted Soul passive with one of the unique gems, you can get a bunch of extra ES to combo with that cool Soul Tether ability.

Zhulik posted:Would someone mind breaking down how people get one of these and how difficult/expensive it is? I crafted one a couple leagues ago. Off the top of my head, I think the crafting cost is around 8ex, plus the cost of the base. So around 12ex to 15ex. I can give you the exact crafting steps if you want.

Ixjuvin posted:The upside is it's instant cast, so it's better for characters with low cast speeds. It seems to have a slightly lower range than flame dash though so you can't get over some obstacles like the act 2 broken bridges, which is annoying. That's what I thought too but Flame Dash is also actually instant now. The 'cast time' on it is the delay if you try to chain cast it. It feels great. Devor posted:But Soul Tether is GREAT for non-slayers because it lets you get "Continue leeching at full life" from Slayer's Brutal Fervour keystone, which is a really great survivability passive. Brutal Fervor is behind Endless Hunger for Slayers, actually; you can use Soul Tether to save two Ascendancy points and put them into something else, although it requires giving up the belt slot and losing the reduced damage taken while leeching which is pretty nice. After rerolling a bunch I'm in maps playing a Trickster Frost Bolt/Ice Nova build with the new Pledge of Hands and it's pretty silly. Because of how Ice Nova interacts with Spell Echo/Greater Spell Echo it actually only takes one cast of Ice Nova to fire eight times, and the final set of two repeats has +150% area and +105% more damage. The one issue the build has is spacing since you need to have a bit of distance between yourself and the mobs, but with Flame Dash and Decoy Totems I've been working around it. Sustain was a problem early as well but I got an inexpensive cold damage leech temple necklace off trade and that fixed that.

I actually don't know where that bow got an extra attack speed craft, but when I played HoAg this was the process. You can simulate it on PoeCraft too just to be sure. When I did it, I was able to find a bow that already had the first two steps done, and it was totally worth it because those first two steps suck. Start with an ilvl 80 white elder bow. 1) Transmute and then alt until I have just vicious projectiles/%phys damage. 2) Augment to add any suffix, regal to add another suffix - if I hit a prefix here I scour and go back to 1. 3) Craft cannot roll attack mods 4) Exalt orb guarantees +1 to socketed gems because suffixes are full and it's the only remaining prefix (Use Leo slam here if you can!) 5) Remove cannot roll attack mods, craft prefixes cannot be changed, then scour to remove the existing suffixes 5) Craft can have multiple crafted modifiers 6) Craft +2 to support gems, attack speed, and minion attack/cast speed

whalestory posted:Between pride, precision, blood and sand, flesh and stone + maim, and dread banner, what do people run with cyclone? If you're not in t15 maps then PoB is overvaluing accuracy, since enemies get higher evasion as they get more levels. You can lower the enemy level in the configuration tab to see your hit chances in lower level content.

Goreban Dallas 2.0 posted:I followed ghazzys guide on the forums and just hit maps last night. What’s up good about it? Should I just check Poe ninja for what people are using for links and gear? The worst offence, Contagion setup, seems to have very recently been rescinded, but you should definitely also check ladder builds to see various other flavours of ED (Bane+Despair for clear; Allelopathy; MoM(+EB); etcetra).

I had to learn how to bowcraft myself recently and could of used a post like that before I scoured a 2 mod rare thicket bow with lvl 20 vicious projectiles. Though question, if you roll vicious projectiles without a suffix do you really need to augment? seems your just adding a 50% failure chance. Also ilvl82 seems best for the additional arrow potential roll. I'd also add to first roll your bow with a perfect fossil and then before doing the multi-crafting adding a 18% quality craft to the bow to improve your 6 link odds.

Is that good for HOAG for some reason? I'm going to be doing something similar for my caustic arrow dude soon but I just want the +3 gems and vicious projectiles. Bonus mods would be attack speed and area damage / extra arrow.

Eminai posted:You don't have anywhere near the passives you need for 3 point jewel nodes to be worth it. Refunding both of those for the entire Disembowling wheel gives you about 160k more dps. Swapping two of the life nodes near marauder start for Juggernaut and the node you need to get to it gives you 20 life and some armour for the low price of two regrets, and you can put two of the life/armor/resist nodes near duelist start in for the melee phys nodes there, trading 30k dps for another 160 life. Other than that your tree looks good. Well I thought I was doing decently, and then I followed your advice and holy poo poo I do a lot more damage while being tankier than before. Thanks a ton for your help. I really appreciate the advice, and I'd say it's helped me understand the game a bit better. I think this'll be the league I finally kill Shaper (and Uber Elder, but I don't need to be too ambitious).

This was by far the biggest ticket item I'd ever crafted, so I wanted to be very sure I understood each step, which is why I wrote all that out and saved it to the PoB.  Yeah for this bow you're trying to fill the suffixes so that you get a guaranteed result in Step 4. You don't want the additional arrow affix for HoAg. Salvor_Hardin posted:Why is the %phys relevant?

Bonus mods would be attack speed and area damage / extra arrow. The %phys is part of the vicious projectiles affix, it's one of those dual affixes. Although it is still good for HoAg since that deals phys damage.

so let's say you have a steel ring with only warlords mark on it, currently magic, and you have an imprint beast What would you multimod onto it to maximize value? Leave a prefix open for an aspect if the buyer wants it maybe? I guess the question is what does a cyclone user want on their ring?

So with the wand fortify shield charge fix dropping tomorrow I think I'm officially out of skill slots: Move, Shield Charge, Flame Dash, ED, Contagion, Blight, Vaal Blight, Curse, Vaal RF. Eventually would be nice to squeeze a focus ability in there too. Can I get by with not having move on left click? I kinda don't want to give up a flask suffix for a witchfire. How do y'all deal with this?
