Not super good for sanctum at the low low end, so I pivoted to srs guardian. But nerfs notwithstanding this is my likely 3.21 starter

I've spent this weekend chain running Atolls and Coves to rush Sanctums so I can get the final few Boons/Afflictions I need to go 40/40 and I'm thoroughly convinced I'm going to hit level 100 first (currently 98.333 98.23 [loving one shot out of nowhere]) :shepicide:

Update: in the >10 Sanctums I've run since this post I hit level 99 and got 2 of the 4 Afflictions I needed to finish this challenge...both of those coming in back to back rooms, so it definitely feels like I'm going to hit 100 first :shepicide::shepicide::shepicide:

The passing of Kalandra League robbed Eye of Winter of it's stupid-powerful massively reduced projectile speed shenanigans, so I decided to try to replicate it as best I could this league:

https://i.imgur.com/eSSziph.mp4

Context: Testing number of hits per cast using the Golden Rule Self-Poison stack counting setup with divergent Eye of Winter (1.5% reduced angle of shards released during flight per 1% quality) jacked up to exactly 72% quality, which equals 108% reduced firing angle, which makes them fly backwards and converge paths on a very small area with the right targetting and a very specific reduced projectile speed. This is an incredibly slow 2.3 casts per second, for reference, and it's easily surpassing 25+ hits per cast. Should be able to get it to 10+ casts per second, and with roughly 300k damage per hit.

edit: Here's 5 casts per second, just to demonstrate how absurdly fast the hit rate ramps up. Also demonstrates how finicky the positioning can be for maximum effectiveness:

https://i.imgur.com/0AcfHAB.mp4

Here's what it looks like without something to hit. You can see that the sweet spot for maximum convergence is actually offset a bit from the eye's flight path, which takes a bit of time to get used to. Namelocking is actually a real hindrance here, wish it could be disabled:

https://i.imgur.com/CPiOUJm.mp4

And here's how fast just 5 casts per second with basically zero gear or passive tree benefits kills the act 10 cathedral boss with a whopping 1400 tooltip dps:

I was trying to make a cold dex stacking claw but got this on the way:



Is it worth the 6+ div to keep crafting it at all even just to sell it ? seems like it could end up insane but I'm not sure how to finish it. I know I can multimod, prefixes/suffixes cannot be changed -> reforge lightning to get the int stack mod, then after that I think its a bunch of hopes and prayers other than crafting exactly what I want?

dyzzy

argh
Maybe imprint here, do as you said to get the dex stack mod, and then craft dummy suffix (or even two) then aisling t4 for elemental pen, using imprint if that bricks

From there it might just be a crafted mod to finish or a lot of prefixes cannot be changed + harvest reforge to try to hit multiple good mods?

e: no idea if that's actually worth doing yourself tho

On the Poe ninja build list for SSF I see a lot large cluster jewels with the max number of notables. Is there some crafting trick to this? With alts and regals and scours I can seem to get only get 2 max and they’re rarely the ones I want.

Harvest reroll can force some notables

Edit: not force, but more likely

Depends on which notables you're trying to get. Some are much rarer than others, and some have mod tags while others don't. If they have mod tags sometimes you can use harvest or fossils to interact with those tags to target the notables.

Also keep in mind large notables are on prefixes AND suffixes and that critically the suffix notables are all limited to a maximum of 1 per jewel (this is what keeps there from being 4-notable large clusters)

Am I right in thinking the best shot here of getting rid of a suffix w/o touching the prefixes is just a 50/50 annul?

There is suffix to prefix but somehow I'm pretty sure that's not going to help you here. Unless you get REAL lucky...

Maybe if you want frenzy charges yourself, but then you might as well just use the jewel for that.

SRS are temporary minions so the frenzy apes are kind of bad.

Fields of glory shine eternal

Crushclaw casts a debuff that increases cold damage taken, probably not really a srs thing. I think what op is looking for is a Wild Bristle Matron, that has a quasi-shout that reduces action speed by 40%.
