Irasha is easier/closer to wp but Tasuni was my div card bro for years so yeah. Also the Maraketh blind theming is pretty cool.

I could use some assistance on where to go next with my impending doom occultist:

https://pobb.in/6yyTto6HDIxQ

I just finished crafting my boots and helm which puts me over 100% spell suppression.

Considerations for next upgrades:
1) Skin of the Lords, incredibly expensive for a niche end-game item(corrupted sockets with the colors etc), but likely will be a huge throughput. I've heard of people saying to craft +int gems on chest instead, but I'm not sure the way to go about that.
2) Boots put me at 99% shock avoid, I can get a storm shroud to extend that to other ailments. I'm fine with the 99% until I want to reroll the eldritch mod to 40% to cap at 100% total.
3) Retool accessories, pick up a death rush. Re-adjust elemental/ chaos resistances to accomdate. (Mainly more zoom zoom QoL).
4) Upgrade watchers eye to have more than one more.
5) Change the cluster jewel to have a third notable.

Any other ideas?

Another dumb question but do you keep currency from league to league? Not sure how people get "rich" enough to afford pricey builds if that's not the case.
I bought a number of stash tabs (gems, currency, maps, those doohickies you get from frozen mob encounters etc). The map thing seems weird though because I'm almost positive the one tab I can't use is the map one but when I try to deposit map fragments I receive from corrupted encounters, it won't let me.

There was a new unique jewel added that gives you a boost to elemental ailments in one. It's avoidance chance and not immunity.

Ancestral Vision
Viridian Jewel

Limited to: 1
+(5-10) to Dexterity
Modifiers to Chance to Suppress Spell Damage also apply to Chance to Avoid Elemental Ailments at 50% of their Value


right now 16div but falling fast and I bet even faster during the weekend.

check mods of how to get the other 50% but it's a lot less than 100%

\/ \/ \/ \/ like this guy says it's 100 or nothing for avoidance.

Just keep in mind that the difference between 99% ailment avoid and 100% avoid is taking full effect from shocked/chilled ground at 99% and being completely unaffected by it at 100%. It's very worth capping.

Oh I will. Probably tomorrow when I get some more liquidity in chaos than I have currently. Not too keen on converting divs to chaos and buying more eldritch orbs. I'll take care of it tomorrow.

Is the jewel above better than using stormshroud in my situation? Doesn't seem like it. Since that would only put me at 50% for non shocked. Where as if I hit 100% to shocked and the. Use a stormshroud, Imid end up having 100% to the others.

It's really up to you. I am just going by the fact that it's a lot easier to craft/get "avoid elemental ailments" than just "avoid shock"





not sure what eater/exarch can give exactly, but I never really did that type of crafting. Just know that I see avoid elements a lot more than shocked.

If you need to raise the level of the shock mod, your best bet is to hit it with the highest tier eater orb, orb of conflict, then back to grands for whatever your Eater influence was. Assuming you already spammed grands for the shock avoid.

You idiot.
In this world it's pet or BE pet.

Personally I'm just using a stygian vise with a torment essence + an abyssal jewel with T1 avoid shock to hit 100% with stormshroud. If all you really care about on your belt is max life and some resists then it's not too bad to craft with essence spam.

Yea the most dangerous place to be in this game is wherever you were standing 1s ago. Only the builds with insane defensive investment can actually afford to stand still for significant periods of time.

Unrelated, I'm having a lot of fun with this league, but my biggest gripe with the game continues to be the lack of some kind of asynchronous trade option. I get GGG feels like they'd be opening Pandora's box with anything resembling that, but it leans way more into "feels bad" territory than "weighty gameplay" imo.

This is the first league I've actually put any effort into Rog-crafting and this guy can churn out some nutty items! But moving them and actually getting any value out of it makes me feel like I have to stay logged in 24/7 to tend to my shop like a good little merchant. I'm lucky that WFH has enabled this to a degree, but it still sucks.

it also makes your hours played look completely insane if you just leave it open all day for trading lol

I really do have to point out that it's 1.6 div, not 16. Typically any character invested in suppression to begin with can cap with the jewel, 28% from t2 avoidance on eldritch influenced boots, 2% from anomalous grace, and 20% from a life%/avoidance wheel somewhere on the bottom right of the tree.

e: the expensive part is actually rolling avoidance on a good pair of boots with ichors and then orb of conflicting

I take back all the trash talk on crucible. 3rd try on Redblade Banner got 2x %str nodes and no downsides



Still trying to figure out the best mods for the boom mace. Obviously %str but the consume corpses to recover hp with static strike seems fun. Also since the build works on cooldown rather than attack speed those nodes that give a big boost to crit or whatever at the cost of ASPD could be good.

I am dumb and bad at poe and managed to smash weapon bases together for 2 hours until I got my preferred gem link, 16% quality, and 60% increased global damage. If I can do it, most can do it (probably)!

proper sockets

resists

life

basically all you should give a poo poo about while leveling, if your build is reasonably well constructed it should be able to cruise to maps on gem levels and a bare minimum of gear power

it makes the resist cap a lot less intimidating when you see how much you can pile on if you focus it

(and use crafting, it's cheap to slap a resist or health on an item)

Back in Harvest league, the harvest crafts were WAY more potent and effective than what we have now.

Anyone, for about 3ex (the divine equiv at the time), could manually craft a chest with t1 life, lots of resists, and a #% life explode mod with no chance of failure except for the initial magic->regal spam. The roll for the #% life explode was not one chance out of hundreds of mods, it was like 1 chance out of three it will hit. Then you could just reroll the wrong physical mod you got for another 1 chance out of three.

It doesn't really matter if you do third Lab before or after Kitava, since the first thing you should do after Kitava is fix your resists. If you're in trade, that's very easy and cheap. If you're not, you still need to do it before you start into maps, so it doesn't make much difference.

Edit: I forgot Frank Frank is on console, where nothing is cheap. You still need to fix your resists regardless.

Awesome!

I want to double check and making sure I'm understanding these crucible mods right.

The 25% chance to deal 100% more damage with bleeds with venom gyre will stack to be 50% chance to deal 100% more damage right?

And the rolling magma 100% more area will stack multiplicatively for 4x right?

You should at the least kill them and click a button and pick up their loot. You don't need to do it right or optimally or anything but they drop items which have veiled mods. Jun can unveil them and then slightly weaker versions of those mods become available at the crafting bench. Things that might be good for you in particular are certain elemental and chaos res mods as well as dual stat mods.

you're right that the minigame is complete dogshit and honestly, there's a lot to complain about in poe because there is so much content languishing in various states of neglect and disrepair, but betrayal (this thing) is the worst of them all because it's so clearly sitting around as sunk cost fallacy in action due to all the voice acting work they paid for

Alright, it's not news to this thread but the totem explode build is fuckin insane. You can build it a million different ways too. PoB:

https://pobb.in/XFQJC6L5NUF1

Tbh I think going the poison route is totally unnecessary and not at all optimal. Damage is so high that poison is still gonna be one of the strongest builds of the league, but I think cold convert is just better in every way. Supposedly poison prolif on PF is better for clear but Herald of Ash alone has been more than enough for me. I'm gonna eventually get another source of explode, currently thinking Asenath's gloves since I can get full cold conversion without gloves between tree + quiver + hatred Watcher's Eye. You don't need a damage curse, or a second curse either for that matter, so enfeeble or temp chains for defense is great. Damage is totally solved with that one Crucible node. From there you just build out defenses and QoL to taste. I'm insanely fast with divine blessing haste + vaal haste, and the tankiness is gonna go over the top once I add on either Progenesis or the Bloodnotch combo.

The only small, very small complaint I would have with the build is the typical damage lag from traps. It's not instantaneous like some other builds, but it really doesn't matter since I can already take a hit in juiced T16s.

Trap spread is one of the other things you may need to flex on if you're not running Sabo with Chain Reaction or have the forbidden jewels for it. The trap spread is bad for single target UNLESS you use Divergent Cluster Traps, then it's 100% solved. But that hampers map clear a little. My plan atm is to just run regular Cluster Traps for better spread in mapping and then if I ever wanna try Pinnacles or Ubers I'll just swap for Divergent for the single target nuke.
