+2 support gems and double damage instead of Hits can't be Evaded and Quality just isn't something I ever thought about, but it might just be worth it on a RT build.

hits can't be evaded is all but a wasted mod

Is full life, life plus mom, or tinkerskin no mana the generally best way to go at this point? Phase acro too?

Seeing that nice craft; how would I try and make an upgrade for a Kondo's, sitting in the HCSSF league?
I'm up to T10 currently, setting aside elder/shaper bases. I obviously have limited options with crafting due to having 1 exalt drop.

Would farming fossils work and slamming them on some Elder/Shaper base 2h?
Ziggy had a nice vid up recently on how he crafted his chest that way. No idea if there is something similar for 2hs.

Fossils were the preferred way to do this for delve league, before the master crafting buff. You can either spam Jagged (thats gonna take a whole lot though) or use Jagged/Prismatic/Corroded. That removes most annoying prefixes.

The base is the bigger problem. In a perfect world you want a 83+ Elder Vaal Axe, but gently caress getting that on SSF. The most basic base I'd craft on would be a 77 Vaal Axe, Elder optional. This allows you to get up to t1 flat phys and attack speed and t2 %phys and %hybrid phys.

If you get the 4ex exalts to do multi-modding you want a 80+ Elder Vaal Axe, this opens up t1 Fortify, which is enough to multi-mod into a great weapon (preferably with either %hybrid or attack speed, but it does well without those).

For sword bases I have honestly no idea, but chances are you're getting to farm shaper before you get a really good sword done that way. Vaal Axes just have a bunch more dps than swords.

for a physerzerker cyclone, should I be looking at switching to dual-wielding instead of 2Hing? Right now I'm using a 5L Maroqi, so I'd need to dig up a 6L armor, I suppose.

Is anyone in here playing on PS4? The trading system is an absolute loving nightmare to use and I'm hoping someone has some tips on how to use it properly

- exclude listings that have no price/buyout
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, this is possible. Use '~' in the filter and it will highlight items that have a price set. It still shows the items without a price, but at least they're shaded out. Can be used with other filters by putting a space between them, so '~ Life' would only show items that have Life in the description and have a price set.

The rest of your search questions can't be done as far as I know.

The Console trade market just sucks. I've been trying to buy a Daresso's Salute for the past week. Despite only searching listings for people that are online I've gone over 24 hours several times without a response. The ones I have gotten a response from my bid is declined every time despite putting the exact amount they wanted and I'm pretty sure they didn't sell because I still see those listings (resistances and asking price the same) when I search the market. And this is just one item. Everything I'm trying to buy is the same process where I have to go in several days in a row and try to find different listings because my offer was declined over night or the person is letting the offer and my currency sit there for 24+ hours.

oh, the font made it look like It.

Yeah phase acro, the blind ascendancy and either MoM, or EB MoM with tinkerskin, or the blood magic helm and one aura (Zealotry probably) are the way to go

shroud of the lightless is a good chest too, easy six link, go bm or mom if you go that route

tip number 1 is don't get hit, traps rule but you lack leech so you gotta rely on regen

I'm phone posting but yeah what Foo said. You can look at what Octavian and/or Tarkecat did as templates. I'd personally rather do like octavian but I'm a dual wield wand hater

tinkerskin EB MoM might be a touch tankier, the lightless has built in pen and life% on the chest which is nice for a shadow. If you go regular mom you probably want to use an essence worm and toss your aura into that. I last played traps with EB MoM and a Tinkerskin and it was a ton of fun

Indeed. This is the first time I'm not playing a dumb overpowered broken build (Arc Trap Saboteur in Incursion, Cold DoT Occultist in Betrayal). I'll get him soon, fortunately it's only 40-50c per attempt.

I’m DW with foils and the damage you get from it is actually insane, plus foils somehow have a bigger range than 2Hers.

Yeah I'm nervous about trying him with my 5.6k hp cyclone glad. Hydra, Minotaur, and Phoenix all just erased me if I wasn't careful and I even died once to shaper for the first time in forever. I need a stupid broken op build 😭

You should probably find something else to use the socket on if the elder ring as actually good for you statwise. Damagewise, a 20q HoF is better, but not by much and not enough that I'd value it over freeing up a socket.

i'll look into this when i get back to PoB! I've got around 2ex to play with if i liquidate my jorbs; finding a decent 6L armor and a couple of foils might be tough on that budget. Also buff 2h range, or nerf foil range, one or the other. That seems silly.
