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.


I've been trying it today but the breach and teachings scarabs have gone up in price so much I might look into how much the carries are because this would be spending a ton on scarabs for just level 95

What are good maps for getting good breach spawns near to each other? I've been doing Dunes and Jungle Valley

Last league I did a breach carry power-leveling duo with a guy where we split profits and it worked out ok. 5-way isn't really viable anymore since the xp got nerfed and idk whether participants are required to have the 5th map slot or not.

*Last league = trial of the ancestors for me.

I do need to take another swing at a T17 now. I'm fragile AF but camping out, popping armor and spamming seems to work for "difficult" bosses so maybe I can kill stuff slowly and move forward. I have no idea what my damage looks like now vs 2 days ago but I'm willing to bet it's significantly higher based on what I've seen from pinnacle bosses.

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.

E: Also their boots were on a worse base so IDK where they even came from, maybe Rog?

Why did you block them ??

I'm guessing +quant and maybe +rarity gear helps along with the right atlas passives and maybe grouping and scarabs or other juicing options, whatever the strategy is to maximize those I'm sure I don't know it.

Double-check your Awakened settings -- I'm pretty sure you have Standard selected as the League and not Necropolis.

When ever you're price checking currency or other items that don't really have mods ("fungible" stuff, a word I'd rather not use for obvious reasons), look at the entire list it shows to make sure it's not getting thrown off by 1 or 2 outliers (and that you're actually one Necropolis, as pointed out above).

Make yourself a Ruby flask and take it into the fight. It helps a lot. If the stupid ball phase is loving you up (it fucks everyone up), when you die just stay on the floor and wait for it to finish before reviving to minimize the amount of time you have to spend in ball hell.

The ball phase is dodge or die, there's no magical fix for that on a build as squishy as this. You can tilt the odds in your favour slightly by getting a shield with +3 max fire res and lots of life, a Steelskin setup and a good flask setup (3 instant life flask, at least one that removes ignite and 2 Ruby flasks enhanced with Enkindling Orbs)
But even then you will not survive two hits in a row, so better get good at dodging those balls.

Ruby Flask won't help as much as before because they changed Ruby/Topaz/Sapphire to grant +max res instead of %less damage taken. PoB says it would help him tank one ball, but there appears to be 0 life recovery outside of flasks that would help him not get double-tapped. Like Wuxi said, dodge or die.

That being said OP, your flasks do suck (only one of them has a prefix and a suffix) and shouldn't be turned on as you have no charge recovery outside of killing stuff (you actually have no recovery of anything really), your cluster jewel needs to be 4 or 5 passives and your pobb.in has you at negative mana, so you don't have the auras setup properly. For a crit based build, 31%/19% mult seems incredibly low.

Yeah, that cost me a couple deaths last attempt where I got him to 25%. I'll probably get him in a few more attempts but having to run a T16 between every attempt is annoying. Less annoying than paying 20-25c to buy the invitations I guess.

I have flask recovery from crit. I haven't been running out of flasks, I'm mostly getting one shot by balls if I gently caress up, though my second attempt I started getting good at using my wither totems to block them. I should get better flasks though, got some workable ones when I was poorer and haven't upgraded them. Not sure why POB shows me at negative mana when I have one aura disabled. I have about 15% available.

e: Also that stupid wall of fire gets me, apparently it stuns me if I get hit and I can't dash or shield charge out of it. I can flask to live long enough to dash out if I'm quick, just gotta get better about the cues.

I'm pretty sure I'm not blind but I do not see where this flask charge on crit is coming from.

PoB says you had Herald of Purity on your CIP, Grace/Malevolence/Herald of Agony in your Diadem on, with Flesh and Stone turned off. Turning off HoP or HoAg would get you to ~15% unreserved, so I'm guessing it's the former that's turned off.

Ah, I forgot to turn off Herald of Purity, I don't use it anymore and forgot to remove the gem. I'm typically running Grace, HoAg and either Flesh & Stone (in sand stance) or Malevolence. When I get my build done I'll be able to run all 4 together but I'm not there yet.

Just noticed something odd with my gear. My helm as a "red" requirement on it (int for the enlighten gem). The helm itself is not highlighted red like it would normally be if I didn't meet the stat requirements. Is the helm still granting bonuses? How is the Enlighten gem working when I don't meet the int requirement for it? I know it's working because I have all 4 auras running still.

Avenging flame totem may be the consecrated path totems replacement I’ve been looking for.

It’s pretty fantastic. It’s nice and slow. There are huge explosions. Your totems are always taunting. You can spend almost all of your hearing on surviving. It nukes bosses. (Almost all of them )
