im trying to think about zooming up a poison spark occultist i was thinking about using the self-chill tech from jungroan's inquis but i'm not sure how to get high chill effect with a lot of chaso res there's also golden rule+venopuncture tech but i'm not sure it's worth 2 rings + 1 jewel socket to get 10% chill and replica hotheaded not sure what other options are available

if you really want the self chill tech you'll just have to grab some chill effect on the tree or on gear somewhere I guess. alternatively I bet supporting the forbidden rite with a support that gives ailment effect works. wonder if the Elementalist chill node works on self hits, I bet that does too. probably a pricey forbidden jewel though.

mynnna posted:Anyone got an atlas tree they like for hunting god touched mobs? Not sure about my current setup. Seems like prioritizing legion and trying to do as many legions per hour as you can is a really good way of going about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUfnFzvHlVo Check the tree from the description here for an example. Even a lower-end version of this with less juice (but still focusing on legions/hour) is probably pretty good too. He brings up a good point in that god touched legion rares are a lot tankier than normal. Even for people with good, fast clearing builds you'll want to take the increased duration legion nodes to make absolutely sure you have enough time to release any god touched legion rares. It's quite possible people are failing to release god touched legion mobs and not realizing it. Jinnigan posted:im trying to think about zooming up a poison spark occultist I played the budget version of jungroan's self chill spark guy and the chill effect felt fine. The two gotchas for chill effect are having too much chaos resist, "too much" meaning close to 75, and having merveil unlocked on your soul of the brine king which bricks the character.

Hmm alright. Are there non-selfchill ways to put some vavazoom in a poison spark occultist build? I guess I could also shift gears to a bane/death's oath type build. But where is the Zoom. don't say mageblood

That happens in general, the rest of the planet doesn't have your race politics full stop. The brits enslaved pasifika and indigenous peoples in both countries well after your civil war and well after they stopped being brits and started being Australians and New Zealanders, they just didnt call it slavery, both nations had different systems and names for it. In GGGs country its right to say ita not black and white, its Maori and Pakeha

https://pobb.in/fmFxj5hcWXDL can i please get some help idk wtf i'm doing, just beat the story and cleared a few maps. keep dying in the labyrinth trying to get some more ascendancy points. keep dying in maps. i'm doing minions, something in between golems and dead boys, and i think my minions are pretty survivable but i keep dying if i stand in the same spot for more than half a sec without popping flasks, or i just die randomly to something i have no idea what it was, or the labyrinth boss kills me in one hit. i've just kinda been winging my build so far so i would appreciate any tips. should i just give up and go find a guide for a build similar to mine and try to salvage this guy? or should i restart with a build in mind? thank you.

I don't know much about Minion builds, but even they need to max their elemental resists and have more than 92% increased life by the time you hit your first maps/merciless Labyrinth. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking a Bismuth flask is enough on it's own, but that won't be up forever and if you're taking a while to kill stuff it'll catch you eventually. Someone who knows minions will have to look at your tree/skills, though, I can't help with that. If this is your first go at this game, I definitely would say to look up a build. It's easy to think you'll be fine winging things, but this game is notoriously rude to new players, and using a build lets you avoid a lot of the most common pitfalls.

Realistically, you should look up a guide, but if you want to try and convert this character into something that can run white maps without dying - drop the life recoup cluster and Indomitable Army, plus your mastery points in each cluster - use those 9 points to pick up the Heart and Soul plus Devotion life clusters - respec Plaguebringer (your ascendancy) to Commander of Darkness, since you aren't resist capped - find a way to run Purity of Elements. with Commander of Darkness you're probably resist capped now, or very close and you can finish the rest of it with some bench crafts From there, pick 1 of SRS or Skeletons, don't use both. Run whichever one you pick in a 4 link with 3 damage supports. See if you can get Zombie + Meat Shield + Specter in the same 4 link, with a minion life support if they're dying a lot. Running a survivability gem in your zombie/specter link is way more efficient than spending 5 points on a minion defense passive tree cluster. I don't play golem but I think you want to find a way to give them "aggressive" behavior. The easiest way to do this is probably Feeding Frenzy support.

yep i'm just a bit puzzled about how to max resistances - is that something i should do on the tree or through my equipment or both? same with life. whenever i look at builds online my eyes go wide and i can't really figure out where to start (other than the clayshaper which was easy enough to buy).

whypick1 posted:Only poisons from Viper Strike because the skill has its own 4s duration that adds to the default 4s duration of poison. Default poison is 2 seconds. Viper Strike does not add 4 seconds to the to the 2 seconds, it overrides the poison to instead last for the duration of the skill, which is a base 4 seconds. You're implying normal poison is 4 and Viper Strike is 8, when it's 2 and 4 respectively.

If your specters aren't dying a ton after those changes I'd also grab a jinxed juju from the trade website, it should be easy to search for. Probably sort them by Chaos Resistance, descending, and grab something with at least 30%. "Increased Effect of Non-Curse auras" is a good stat for you, the rest of them don't matter that much. Speaking of auras: your golems, zombies, and skeletons deal physical damage, so you should probably run Pride. Weirdly, even though Pride is an aura that effects nearby enemies, I don't think it counts as a Curse (like a Blasphemy aura would), so it should be scaled by the aura effect roll on Jinxed Juju. This late in the league you can probably get a max roll on both of these stats for <5 chaos. I would probably anoint Gravepact on the jinxed juju. You should also pick up Sovereignty (top left ish), which gives you a huge chunk of reservation efficiency and aura effect, which will allow you to further scale both of your auras as well as give you enough reservation efficiency so you can run them both at once and still be able to cast your spells. Last thing for me is that I'd probably try to run a level 1 precision, to give your minions some extra accuracy rating, but it's been a while since I've played phys minions so I'm not sure if that's still necessary or not. If you can fit it in though, note that the attack and cast speed from Commander of Darkness is per aura, so it's worth a few chromatic orbs to try and fit it in. Just leave it at level one though.

There has been some really good advice on the tree. Regarding resistances, I would aim to get it from gear, not the tree (though Commander of Darkness is one you should definitely get); purity of elements is a great stop gap before your gear can cover your resists -> it usually takes the place of an offensive aura which will add ~15%-30% more DPS. You will probably want to eventually choose between going golems or non-golems for damage, as you tend to develop them in different ways; golems eventually want golem specific jewels to reach a decent potential. I love golems, so I usually build around them; I ran carrion golems with two clayshapers and support zombies to boost their damage as my league starter and it worked pretty well. For non-golem minions, the choice is generally permanent (zombies / spectres) or non-permanent (SRS / skeletons). If you go the non-permanent route, I'd probably drop quite a few of the minion life nodes and look to move them into your survivability, either jewels or your life nodes. You can grab them later on, but you really want to be looking at more than 92% maximum life if you need to stop and cast regularly, something like the following: https://pobb.in/o2Fi3neeo5Nz. Gear wise, I think you could easily upgrade the following (these searches are all softcore Kalandra league): Boots: Get MS, life and res, should be 1-3 chaos: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/gGyRDOOHQ Gloves: Get life and res, should be 1-3 chaos: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/2XlOz8Vtk Helmet: +1 minion gem level, res and life, with free prefix to craft life, will cost around 1-3 chaos: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/zZQwrVLt4 Body Armour: 6-link, colours are probably 3 red / 3 blue or 4 red / 2 blue will work for most of the minions you're looking at. That's going to cost 5 or so chaos: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/G4VMqDbtb Your belt and rings could also eventually use improvement, but I believe the above are easier wins at the moment. cytoc fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Sep 26, 2022 |

Embarrassing considering I'm actually levelling a VS character right now. Speaking of:  Finally got my 2H Occultist through the campaign. None of those deaths were to Kitava though, so no ragequitting. For those of you morbidly curious: https://pastebin.com/XT4ELG2R. Obviously need to pick up an actual chest piece and a belt and do Uber Lab. From there I'll see if I can make it to red maps. euphronius posted:I have mathils lightning “flicker strike “ build up and running in maps . It is stupidly fast and does a lot of damage.

I would worry if there's no changes to how god-touched loot pinatas work for next league, there could be pretty rampant inflation in cost of items. This league mostly avoided that through people not figuring out how it worked and how to abuse it until lots of people had already quit the league. If next league is just filled with MF cullers and Legion runners and poo poo I feel like divine cost of equipment and the like might go through the roof.

The D2 metagame of figuring out how much build power you sacrifice to cram in Rarity is not fun to me, and I don't like that it's creeping into PoE (or exploding into PoE if you cull) I really hope that they just throw Item Rarity out completely from the God-touched calculation.

I can’t confirm at the higher end of extreme players at the time but it was extremely common to run an arc + culling strike + IIQ, optional fourth link in a spell totem or IIR. I still have four or five IIQs laying around in my standard stash.

Well it only existed very early on, I think it got removed in the same patch that they started doing proper leagues. Also while it existed you used to be able to roll IIQ on rare gear too, and the values on uniques were higher so it probably wasn't worth it to use a gem socket at that time unless you were already pretty geared. I remember magic find characters being pretty weak power wise so they probably really needed the socket.
