To those that have done more with the furnaces, how hard exactly is getting an exact node on an unique that can't be chanced? After getting a crucible tree on one, can it be combined further through furnaces?

I don't think anyone outside GGG knows for certain - we can extrapolate based on what item level things with those nodes have on the trade site, but the datamined list of nodes doesn't include item level. actually yes it does, just mouse over the 'i' in poedb's weapon passives list

On the trade site the lowest divine orb rare for sale is level 69, so probably 68+ (edit: it's 68, 78 for 3 orbs)

600% totem splode is on items as low as level 1, but it's a very popular node so it's possible you can put nodes on lower levelled items (edit: 600% totem explode is min level 60)

ilvl requirements for all the crucible nodes are on poedb

low tier explode (200% one hand, 400% two hand) needs ilvl 4, iirc the higher tier needs 60 so can be used at level 48

it’s pretty easy to bulk farm a bunch of low level bows by making new characters then check their trees in ossuary in act 10

I farmed most of my currency in sanctum on a wandering path+deli+harvest tree that looked something like this as the core points. Swap the blue altar nodes for red if you prefer red, they are interchangeable.

Harvest and deli are definitely the 2 best mechanics to go with wandering path. They both have some really good small nodes - chance for deli rewards to give deli orbs and chance for harvest T3 plants. In sanctum the juice color exclusion nodes were good because yellow lifeforce was so much more valuable than the other 2, but this league the prices are a lot closer so I don't see a need to include them. The rest of the points you can throw around as you please. You could fill out the rest of the deli small nodes, or add more map sustain nodes if you really want to go hog wild on excess maps. I messed around a lot last league trying to find a third mechanic to throw in but nothing particularly felt great. The remaining mechanics tend to have really good notables that feel bad to not have. Feel free to experiment with the remaining points.

Spend all but 1 of your favorites on one map, and 1 favorite on an adjacent map. Delirium is particularly map sensitive in that you want a long narrow map for more splinters, like strand. Doing this on strand can pull 50-100 splinters a map if you can clear it. Wandering path top hat with deli on a map like strand will definitely require a certified Good Build™ to clear though. With growing hordes and wandering path top hat, your maps are going to have 50-60% pack size without even trying to roll for pack size, it makes maps that normally have lovely density like strand feel great to play.

What I really liked about this strategy was that it doesn't require much setup to run, and it doesn't require much trading to liquidate the loot you get. Bulk buy lovely rusted scarabs, sell all the lifeforce for divines, sell your excess maps for divines, spend blue juice rerolling lovely deli orbs. If you hit scarabs, div cards, currency, or maps, stop and pile those up then sell them for divines. Dump tab all the cluster jewels and lower the price over time, you will be surprised at some of the random ones people buy. If you want, you can add in a kirac mod or sextants. Personally I find buying deli and harvest sextants super annoying, especially this league as a few content creators have been promoting the harvest sextants. They are rare sextant rolls so it is hard to get them in bulk. I was rolling 72 maps at a time and if my map didn't spawn the mechanics oh well zoom to the end and go next map, no problem.

I just want to be pure
So I took subtractems fire trap build in a different direction and 6 linked frostblink, got a crucible node with reduced cooldown on travel skills, reduceded travel skills cd implicit on boots, etc

Frostblink now does 6m ignite dps and kills pretty much everything instantly, except tanky rares and bosses, for which I still have fire trap.

Considering switching to Bronns Lithe which gives +5 levels to movement skills and 100% more damage from travel skills, which would double the dps.

Feeling pretty tanky as long as I frost blink 3 times a second. Thinking about doing that wandering path atlas tree as well, considering the denser the packs the safer I am.

Anyways, got baited, made the best of it, havin fun

I'm looking for some build advice. I'm running Palsteron's Pathfinder Toxic Rain Ballista build, and I'm trying to figure out what I should do next.
Here's my PoB: https://pobb.in/LtjMIlPcKdRX PoB has a bug I guess where it doesn't calculate flasks right? Or I'm not configuring it correctly, but it correctly calculates my flask effect modifier at 60%, and then it multiplies 50% lightning resistance by 1.6 and gives me 65% lightning res. It's 80. I get 80 in game so it's capped there, so I added a custom thing to PoB to fix it.

I'm not totally loving the build. I can currently clear juiced T16s OK, and kill fully charged crucibles..OK. I die a lot though (not every map or anything, but I'm never going to level past 95 without paying for 5ways or whatever.) I do love the fact that all my utility flasks are permanently on though.

I'm wondering if I should keep investing into this build. My main concern is that I bought empower, swapped off of lifetap and crafted -mana cost onto both my rings, and tried to run around spending 20 mana to cast summon ballista with a mana pool of 80 and holy gently caress it was miserable. It worked, mainly because quillrain has +mana on hit so I could just hold down ensaring arrow to fill my mana bar if I needed to, but man it was not fun to play. With empower 3 the DPS difference between it and lifetap is basically 0, so I swapped back to lifetap and it's fine. But all the improvements to the build from here revolve around swapping to empower.

What I think I would need to do to make it feel good is drop bloodgrip and get an amulet that I could put -mana cost on (probably a +1 or +2 skill amulet with crafted -mana cost) and then get veiled modifiers on the rings so I'm at like -20+ mana instead of -12. At least be able to crap out all 6 ballista without going OOM and I guess it'd be ok.

I think it's probably ~15 divine to get it all done including finishing my bow, maybe more but not a ton more.


I have 15 divines if I bulk sell crap, but should I just swap to something else? I really want a more defensive build so would it be better to just farm up and put my money in a pile and try to swap to poison SRS or something involving a champion? I've quit the other 2 leagues I played by this point, so I'm not really sure what you're supposed to do after the league starter part, but I do want a stronger build and to try to finish more challenges and stuff.

scourge arrow ballista PF seems really nutty this league with vengeant cascade so that is an option, there's a forum dude with a good guide, he was doing deli mirror wandering path T16s and stuff earlier in the league, i was following him to see if i wanted to roll it, i still might:

I wouldn't really recommend it for an MF character, wandering strand with the top hat and delirium makes the maps way, way more difficult. You'd have to have a really big MF character to clear that and if you had that I would recommend some other strategy around farming a map that has a premium div card drop instead of the good deli maps like strand.

I didn't have a real plan, I saw this video and figured I'd give it a shot because it said zero investment. I didn't get this guy's results but I also didn't chain-run 100 maps with a magic find build. Being able to just throw in map after map without having to worry about whether I'm adding enough mods and scarabs and sextants to break even on maps is really compelling to me, even though I'm for sure leaving money on the table. Trying to actually focus on a few league mechanics always starts feeling like a chore to me a dozen maps in.

Probably going to give it a shot regardless though, I have a thicket bow with the crucible passive stashed already.
