Yeah, it's pretty daunting for a new player like myself. Makes it super painful when you don't realize a craft will cost your only 2 divines(oh, that's not chaos orbs  ) and you didn't realize that the item had too many prefixes/suffixes so you can only craft one thing on it until you make more money... And you realize the annul orbs are there but you can't afford to lose the wrong good modifier so you just let it roll for a while. I'm sure there's some other way to easily fix it but hell if I know. bawfuls posted:I farmed the currency for it like a week or two ago on my leaguestarter, which was Ignite DD Elementalist, the slower, shittier mapping version of DD than the one everyone is playing this league. This is what I went with and it's definitely a little clunky, but it's also my first league so I have no idea what to expect other than I can't zoom around instantly exploding everything like streamers do.

 Turned out essence spam was a lot cheaper than doing the whole eldritch annul thing since I could just bench craft whichever mod I didn’t hit. Sure, ideally it would be nice to have all 3 mods be implicit and craft something else but the console market just won’t support it. There are almost no eldritch annuls left for sale and VERY few grand eldritch currency stacks at all so this will do nicely. Decent bump to evasion and armor  (Plus I have another pair of gloves I can sell)

Ignite is not a relevant ailment in 99% of cases for an Inquisitor, you have too much regen to care about that. Bleed is far more dangerous. For your minor pantheon you usually want Ralakesh, Garukhan is fine too, but you really wanna solve Shock through jewels or gear later on. Rhyslatha for boss fights where you can't make use of the others.

Frank Frank posted:The last step on this is a doozy. I've annulled/exalted like 20x now and haven't hit anything better than a T4 life roll. I need to hit at least +70 to break even which is what, T2 I think? Yeah, if you need T2 Life it's a 4.4% hit, so about 1-in-25 but anything that's 1-in-25 can have some high variance. The same craft using the Wild Bristle Matron strat is about a 1-in-6 to hit, which is probably quite a bit cheaper given that Eldritch Annuls are 70c for you. (E: and if Wild Bristle Matrons also don't exist, there's also good old "Suffixes Can't Be Changed -> Harvest Reforge Life" which is the same craft at 2d a pop, so 12d in expectation for the desired prefix.)

I'm pretty happy with where I ended up: At 20 rage (being conservative), I'm at 175m DPS with an EHP pool of ~190k and a phys max hit of 20k or so. https://pobb.in/rduhtjfRCC3s This is by far my most elaborate character build and my second (but first serious) attempt at crafting stuff that I'm actually going to use. I'm rapidly running out of things to improve upon. I could potentially rework/recraft stuff for slightly better rolls on life or w/e. What I really want is a corrupted blood immunity jewel so that I can swap my life flask for bottled faith but that's asking a lot. I could also probably improve my timeless jewel but sitting in front of the timeless jewel calculator for hours is even worse than crafting.

I got bored playing Cyclone so rolled a PF that can just spam through Lab to farm expensive transfigures. Then the algorithm fed me a build guide for Kitava’s Thirst Heiro Archmage Ice Nova. I was already destroying yellow maps on complete trash gear and wands and my leveling tree, now that I have respec’d it’s just stupid how powerful this is. Would recommend.

This forced me to understand what each step was doing, and watching the simulation results gave a good feel for the cost of each step. The Craft of Exile emulator is also nice for seeing how different currencies behave. But it definitely takes significant time investment to get over the hump.

Looking for some gravecrafting advice from you knowledgeable folks. I've been setting up this graveyard in SSF for almost a month and don't want to gently caress it up. I'm trying to make a dex stacking (attack speed per dex) fractured elder grasping mail. This is my current graveyard:  And I'm using this poedb page as reference https://poedb.tw/us/Grasping_Mail#GraspingMailMods Is there anything I'm forgetting to block? Should I block minion mods when the only minion mod also has the chaos tag? Same thing for elemental tags: do I need to add a "scarcer" corpse for each individual element, on top of the 945% scarcer elemental I already have? Do I care about blocking non-breachlord mods at all (e.g. attributes)? I have room for 2 more corpses (3 if I remove one of the "chance for demon corpses not to be consumed" corpses). Should I prioritize bumping speed chance past a certain threshold, or adding more "scarcer" corpses? I'm thinking I should add at least one more scarcer mana corpse since there's a 1000 weight mana suffix, but I'm not sure about the impact of 675% vs 375% scarcer. Also I'm looking at defense mods and all of them seem to be prefixes, I'm wondering if I should replace one of the scarcer defense corpses with a more useful one. Do I need to add quality corpses to the craft? I could just spam perfect fossils afterwards, right? I would have to remove most of the "chance for demon corpses not to be consumed" corpses to make room for quality ones Are there any glaring mistakes I've missed? Appreciate any suggestions Hello Ketene fucked around with this message at 19:58 on May 10, 2024 |

Frank Frank posted:I needed 1 T1 resist, life and a wildcard resist (didn't have to be T1) It's 1/68 to hit T1 life with a resist essence. It's 1/35 to hit any T1 resist with greed essence. You also have a 25% res which is literally worse than crafted. 1/23 to hit T3 life (60-69) 1/34 to hit T2 life (70-79) Crafting on the res also makes it easier to change, gives you the flexibility to do a dual res craft, or even hybrid chaos res craft later on. Or drop the res entirely for something else if you fix your res elsewhere. Now where I *WOULD* spam res essence is if I were fishing for suppress + T1 res. Then you would want to finish the gloves with eldritch currency to fish for T1 life (if you weren't playing on console anyway, I guess) totalnewbie fucked around with this message at 21:10 on May 10, 2024 |

E: Yup, this was definitely the way to go and crafting resist lets me cap out chaos resist again too which is nice. Took about 25 essences. I actually hit T2 suppression on my 2nd esssence but no ressists so w/e

This is a mob that casts a hard-to-see Detonate Dead that WILL one-shot you due to the high HP of T17 monsters. I don’t think there exists a build in league that can survive this hit. Oh god is that the spell that makes what looks like a little red glowing spike on the ground? If so, yeah absolutely. That kills me 100% of the time if I'm near it when it goes off. I had no idea what was doing that.

Setec_Astronomy posted:Yup, that's the one! There's also a map mod that says something about "volatile cores" that makes monsters explode on death with the same effect only it hits everything on the map so uh...don't take that one. Maybe it's only rares but either way, it sucks and do not take it. I just bricked a T17 by taking "enemies can block 50% of all physical attacks" not realizing that means that half my damage is gone instantly. What were the odds on hitting a 21/23 corrupt in the Incursion doryani instutute again? 1 in 6? If so I am just having the worst drat luck. I did have my THIRD dying sun flask drop today though.

Yeah, what bawfuls is saying is that choosing how to do the essence step could have been done more carefully using craftofexile. I actually assumed that you were spamming for suppression because of your chosen method, hence why I suggested getting your Life roll via prefix-locking method. But actually it turns out your suffix requirements were very lenient, to the point that it was much easier to get your craft via Greed essences.

I wasn’t sure if you could do that with a fractured item and even if you could, i don’t think it would calculate odds correctly since a prefix/suffix were already used up due to the fracture. I’m sure there’s a way to do it but I had a bunch of spare essences so I didn’t put a ton of thought into it.

I see, thanks. I thought it´d be something fire-related, didnt think about auto-cry. Another question that comes up in "my" build - exposure. Eater implicit says attacks apply fire exposure on hit, so i rolled that, took "exposure is at least 18%" as elemental mastery and thought that my shield charge should now aplly exposure. Doesnt look like it does to be honest, at least none of the enemy debuffs look like anything firey. Does this, as usual, work any other way than i thought?

Guessing the implicit only applies fire exposure on hit and shield charge doesn’t count as a hit. But that’s just a guess.

Shield Charge does count as a hit, but if your accuracy is poo poo enough you'll not *actually* hit anything a good chunk of the time. Exposure doesn't have any visual indicator outside of looking at the tiny resistance icons when you mouse over a monster, so it could be that you are actually doing it but just don't notice.

Yeah I’ve got a breach tree already, just trying to decide if it’s worth using 8-mod maps to farm xp in breaches or if I’m better off sticking with self sustaining regular maps. I guess the pack size is good for adding monsters to the map in general, not sure how much of the map xp that represents though.
