Can someone explain why armor-stacking Scions take this ascendancy node? As far as I can tell they don't even use offerings. I feel like it can't just be for ~16% attack speed bonus.

A big issue for you right now is trying to keep two clusters, but your target PoB doesn't have em. I think you should drop one cluster and make the gear and skill changes that I've made for you in this PoB. It gets you 200 more life, all three auras, a lot more damage, and some decent additional tankiness against hits from both the high armor and high evasion. You lose a little proj speed and chaos res. To get to the tree, there's a few single nodes I removed so use the compare tool to make sure you get them all. You can change your anoint with my tree and you'll need to bless your dragonfang's flight for 1 more int.

https://pobb.in/2cYC1DL1Yq1S

Ninja edit Looks like you closed some gaps with the gear you swapped, but swapping out one cluster for pathing manually to charisma and leveling enlighten to 3 so you get all three auras is a major major imporvement.

Ok, made the changes you suggested. Just the Nimis itself felt amazing but now I have my 4h aura running so the WE with double pride will kick in. This should be interesting.

E: oook well everything just dies instantly now including bosses so I guess this is a positive change. Gear is not ideal but I'll continue to fish for a better gloves/boots/ring while I figure out what I need for my chest/helmet but I'm absolutely shtredding poo poo now so it's not as pressing a need.

Yeah dude you literally just got like a 60% DPS boost, give or take. Now you can start shopping around for the right rares to get your survivability back up a bit, but I guarantee you're clearing stuff a whole lot faster in the meantime.

Also I'd advise you to definitely listen to everyone saying to "finish" the non-crit version before trying to transition to crit. It's probably a couple hundred divs worth of upgrades before it becomes better than using Precise Technique; the version you're working with right now is extremely strong when you finish tuning it, and the crit build is more of a league-long project thing.

very useful when buying gear to make purchases based on affix tiers more than specific amounts of res that you need because you're condensing the amount of affixes you need dedicated to resists in your future items which actually makes each successive upgrade easier because it will always be far, far easier to find an item with t1/2 res, t1/2 att than some item with the specific combination of 3 resistances that you need in addition to the right base and other stats that you need

sounds like you're kind of there conceptually already with wanting to buy across multiple slots at a time, but the simplest way to do that is to just focus on getting high tier rolls on each item. plus you can then harvest res swap or keep a free suffix to craft whatever missing resist

One more armor-stacker question. I see the POB using this flask enchant for life regen:



But it also uses CI and not Zealot's Oath so this would do nothing right? I assume its there to try and sustain rage with the Kaoms gloves but I just don't see how this would work.

Yeah I already check mod tiers when I’m shopping to see what they’re worth instead of overpaying for a bunch of max rolls on lower tiers that cannot improve.

This is what I need to work on to be a better player though. I had no idea how to go about maxing out my passive tree to get the most out of what I already have (in this case what I already have is extremely good but I had no idea how to make use of it and what I can live without).

This build has just become stupid. I can stand in one spot and just HOLD DOWN BUTTON and everything instantly dies. Lmao what is even happening?
This has morphed into a really weird attack pattern where I leap slam to activate betimber blade, then stand in one spot for as long as I can just spitting out nonsense while poo poo dies but I'm REALLY squishy so I have to be ready to leap away again. This is so odd lol.

E: jesus loving christ. Al-Hezmin just died in sub 2 seconds. He didn't even get to move. This is somehow even stronger than PSRS and I had really good gear that league.

precise technique is incredibly under-rated for costing 0c and people always try to force crit on builds where they'd be better off just running precise technique until they've got a full set of very good crit gear

This is legitimately absurd. This is the most damage I've ever put out and again, my PSRS build was crazy optimized. It had better survivability but I don't know if that matters when poo poo dies so fast it can't attack.

Did I misread all the signs?
Trying to think of anything interesting to do with Explosive Trap of Magnitude, since no one seems to be using it. It's basically just a big physical hit, with like a 50% increased stun duration. It has a pretty good damage coefficient though. Converting it to ignite or using it for poison seems like it'd probably be underwhelming compared to other spell options. The spell impale gloves seems interesting. Sadly no way I know of to get a spell to bleed.

provided you can find a way to scale up corpse consumption that is (and has been for a long time) one of the single strongest ascendancy nodes in the game

plus offerings are incredibly good and the defensive offering is one of the single strongest buffs in the game

If you're viewing this on the poe trade website there should be letters and numbers to the left of each affix like P3, S1, etc. which stand for prefix and suffix. I think that one is full and likely is PPPSSS in that order. The plus resists are always suffixes.

I don't know how it works on console, if you are in game on PC then you hold down alt to see the annotations. There's probably a similar option on console.

The numbers are the mod tier BTW.

If you want to search for something you can add the -mana craft onto, add a stat group Count of 1 consisting of "# Empty Suffixes Prefixes" and "# Crafted Suffixes Prefixes" both equal to 1. That'll show you only items that you can add or replace a crafted suffix mod.

Man, it's a weird night on SC trade.

I just had a dude message me about a pair of boots I have listed for 20d (95 ele res, 33 chaos, T1 life, T1 hybrid life, crafted move speed plus chill immunity, good eldritch implicits, 30% qual) to tell me "bruh ur on crack, I made these boots for 1d" and proceed to link me some boots with 65 ele res, 32 chaos, T2 life, T2 percent armor/evasion, crafted move speed, 20% quality, and no implicits. Obviously I blocked them immediately but why am I getting negged on trade? I had multiple other rude interactions as well tonight when usually people are super chill.

Just as a general rule, resistance and attribute stats are always suffixes btw (assuming there's not some weird exception I don't know about).

The one exception I can think of is "X damage taken as Y damage" stuff, those are always prefixes, like the craftable 'physical damage taken as X% fire damage", which is technically not resistance, now that I think about it. Doesn't have the Resistance tag.

I think if you want a single attribute on rings, you're mostly better off essence spamming a fracture, because you can't control which of the 4 different attribute suffixes you'll hit. Or just get 3 of the 4 at the same time probably.

This is going to be a bit tedious on console because you are gonna need to get some scarabs, but there's a very easy way to get to 100 right now.

https://poeplanner.com/a/C8-
with
Domination Scarab of Teachings
Domination Scarab of Abnormality (skip this if you still don't have a 5th slot, but seriously you should really be able to do a t17 by now)
2x Breach Scarab


Skip Breaches and strongboxes until you activate at least 2 shrines and then go to town on everything. That should get you to 100 in a couple of hours with minimal danger. Beyond and Deli would be more XP but they are also a lot more rippy.
