The pdps is a bit misleading there due to the 20% less global, it's really equivalent to about 1k. Still pretty nice axe though!

builds going well but need some input https://poe.ninja/pob/Xjq ive got daressos courage for a shield cos i could take advantage of the spell block on low life + then i can get the recent attack/spell block stuff to cover up some early defensive weakness but idk how much exactly i should be valuing it. i ve got other stuff i need to fix first + saving for a paradoxica but is there any obivous replacement i could grab? would i get more value out of a straight rare shield w a bunch of spell suppression instead? thanks.

I may try to reforge for normal 10% ASPD (and try to get +phys explicits). With this speed I am having issues keeping up with the boneshatter self harm. I have 33k armor (89% phys reduction), 17% of phys damage taken as elemental, 80+ resists, and still susceptible to bone zone suicide.

That is an absolutely disgusting axe for Boneshatter. The 40% local aspd -20% global damage is the best node in the game for bonezone.

Is it worth dicking around in the mines in A4? Difficulty seems to be really high and the rewards have been pretty meh so far. Now I’ve run out of sulphide(?) and don’t know where or how to get more E: to be clear, I mean the digging machine minigame, not the actual mines EE: Just hit lvl 42 and I am really tired of mashing the poo poo out of blade vortex Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Apr 16, 2023 |

It's probably not worth giving too much attention to during the campaign, no.

I'm working my build toward this EA elementalist ballista thing: https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/explosive-arrow-ballista-elementalist/skill-gems-passive-tree https://pobb.in/-hDobOxTL6xU and I'm basically at the "act 4" part of the pobbin skill tree, just about to enter the totem cluster in it. when I read the maxroll guide, it sounds like I have to both drop a totem AND a trap in order to cause damage? (and maybe a 3rd skill too sometimes?) this leads to a few questions: 1 - is that really necessary or can it somehow easily be avoided by a certain skill or gear choice, to make it a 1-button damage dealer (maybe just don't take ancestral bond...)? 2 - if you HAVE to do both totem and trap for every single pack of monsters, then is there an easy way to combine those things in-game? or am I stuck with like using an autohotkey macro to do both things every time I wanna trigger one? I mean I guess I can just spam keys but I prefer fewer key pressin' 3 - is autohotkey or windows power automate detected and accounts banned by GGG?

pmchem posted:I'm working my build toward this EA elementalist ballista thing: but for 1, the trap is used to increase the damage you do. combustion reduces an enemy's fire resist while ignited, but you can't ignite yourself. traps are not you, so you can toss out a trap with combustion linked to it to ignite them for bonus damage. you generally won't have to do this for each pack, it's bonus damage for bossing/tanky rares last i checked PoE doesn't care about ahk anymore, it used to be a thing because people used them to automate flasks but i don't think they check unless you're outright botting. still, you shouldn't need it for this build.

FZeroRacer posted:i was gonna say 33k armor seems a bit low and i see why; Slayer is the issue sadly. They're really good at low end to mid end bone zone, but with an axe like that I would honestly reroll into juggernaut because at that point you'd deal a lot more damage and be far more tanky. Slayer doesn't have a good way to outright mitigate the sheer amount of stacks you can generate with the amount of aspd you can now get on 2h weapons. Doesn't the armor phys reduction cap at 90%? I'm already there so that shouldn't be it. But yeah, I know Jugg is tankier but I had never rolled Slayer before. I'm not trying to reroll and play the same skill so I'll stick with the plan of saving to up swap over to Static Strike autobomber.

FZeroRacer posted:armor isn't a flat damage reduction like resistances, it's a scaling one. you require more armor (like, a lot more armor) to mitigate phys hits as the amount of damage the hit does goes up. to roughly prevent half of the damage of a hit, you need ~5x the armor. at 30 stacks of boneshatter it's dealing ~6000 damage to yourself. with all of your mitigation factors calculated in, you're taking around 1000 physical damage a swing. Ah that makes sense. I'll see if there's some minor upgrades I can do around the edges but my gear is already pretty tip top. e: random Q: Does the "% physical damage from hits taken as lightning damage" work for boneshatter self damage? Does that count as hits? Salvor_Hardin fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Apr 16, 2023 |

quote:The damage taken per Trauma stack counts as a hit, which means that skills like Vengeance will trigger. It also allows your armour prevent some of the physical damage taken. However, the damage cannot be blocked.

euphronius posted:What is the chieftain exploding totem build ? This is the pobbin that the dude posted on pathofexilebuilds subreddit, it just says EK as a mock-up for PoB purposes because there is no "skill" for the totems blowing up. It throws traps that summon Devouring Totems which immediately die and boom due to totem limit. - https://pobb.in/RWaY4870VB_I  Even if you only use one Redblade and a shield, that's still uber-deleting. Tempting.

Mostly just making a post so I can find my old posts in the thread real quick but for some actual content, I have to say Rage Vortex with a good chunk of investment is absolutely crazy. Here is my PoB with no real PoB warrioring (only somewhat tenuous assumption is that the elemental ailment magnitudes are capped): https://pobb.in/dTWRLB1l6F3g The missing flask is a Progenesis, not showing up because it's foil. This is snapshotted DPS after the following, which are almost always all true after a few seconds on a boss: -Intimidating Cry -Ancestral Totems are up -Trinity has procced -Frenzy charges have procced -Elemental ailments have procced Basically, you walk in to a boss arena, weapon swap to a Redblade Banner and Intimidating Cry to cap Rage and exert your next 2 attacks just before it spawns, then swap back and cast one Rage Vortex to proc everything. The second Rage Vortex a few seconds later will do the DPS in the PoB (and so will subsequent ones assuming buffs are kept up).

So uh, this is where I'm at right now: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/sony/view-profile/MrFrankFrank/characters Don't mind the FR rings. I'm in that part of act 4 where everything is fire all the time and I have others I swap to as need dictates. A lot of the gems I have socketed at the moment are just there to gain xp for my end-game build. I'm assuming that's ok? Slots aren't going to do anything else - might as well use them for something. As far as attack patterns go, I'm firing up herald of agony, kiting enemies on top of me then hitting withering step, smashing the poo poo out of blade vortex then dropping plague bearer. Has been ok up until now but I've gotten overwhelmed with damage now and then. There are bastards in the mines that detonate when they die who just instantly kill me if I don't dodge out of the way. Knives + pierce support are a crutch I lean on when I have to try and kite things but the poison specialization wears most things down (at which point I can just run in and vortex stuff to death). Knives aren't part of the endgame build. Am I at least on the right track?

Salvor_Hardin posted:Looks pretty sweet but I'm always a little skeptical of builds with abyssus. How's it do for major bosses and general map threats? Abyssus is probably not required. The damage would still be insane without it. I should probably give it a try. The playstyle is pretty unique thanks to the Petrified Blood + Eternal Youth + Dissolution of the Flesh combo. You are very tanky, but you need to stop taking damage for 2 seconds in order for your life bar reservation to reset. That's part of where doing insane damage helps out. General mapping is trivial as long as you don't take dumb altar mods. Pinnacle bosses are really easy and fall over in a couple seconds. Uber Bosses are a bit harder. Although I can phase them in less than 10 seconds, most of them have really strong degens that are difficult to avoid in order for my life bar to reset.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Sounds fun, I saved the POB for future consideration. Whats the rough budget of the build? Required build-enabling uniques: Kaom's Spirit -- 15c Dissolution of the Flesh -- 100c Elemental Ailment immunity (essentially required) Can be achieved several ways, but one cheap early way is to get 3x Grand Spectrums with the elemental ailment avoidance mod (75c total). Technically not required, but your dps will be poo poo without them: Voidforge -- 9 div -- this item is really the star of the show; there's no real reason to play the build without this imo. The 2H physical version does significantly less DPS. The Interrogation -- 45c Easy big DPS upgrades: Bear's Girdle -- 3c Rage Vortex helm enchant on any armor base helm -- 90c or on an Abyssus -- 80c Luxury big DPS upgrades Stranglegasp + anointments -- roughly 5-6 div Kaom's Spirit with ele weakness corrupt -- 5 div The rest are all rares for life and resists. So really it's a Voidforge plus a few more div to get some easy big DPS upgrades, get the two build-enabling uniques, and get life and resists. I'd put a reasonable estimate at 15-20 div total. My actual POB is more in the 100 div+ range, but I've been playing the build exclusively all league and have sunk all my currency into it. Last thing, I would really recommend leveling to 67 (req. level for Voidforge) as something else. League start was pretty rough for me, although playable once I got uber lab complete. I didn't really start enjoying it until I had the Voidforge.

Squee posted:I've started using a mana flask as detailed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvQqzIUqnZA&t=1s instead of running mana leech, plus using lightning warp instead of arc. It definitely feels way faster for mapping, you can just hold down right click and teleport around deleting packs. I am still running Stampede tho so the teleporting helps with the lack of movespeed. Cool, thanks for the tips! Guessing a mana flask setup might help more yeah  Got this bad boy, not sure what it will sell for though as only 3 at 83+ on trade
