How do you feel about Archnemesis mods on rares?
	Incredibly fun, I love them!

Ability to get breath/grip of the council just by doing prophecy chains is pretty cool.

Supposedly the odds on chancing it are pretty decent too? Idk if the numbers were just pulled out of thin air but I think he said 200 chance orbs.

Worth noting that EE gives its full benefit vs. single target stacked EA explosions since it's one explosion following the arrow hits. The above is when dealing with packs and arrows lodged in terrain.

Why are Ancient Shards 4C? Do people really just have that much wealth already that they're willing to just gamble away even at that price?

I feel like such a pleb, though I bought a 15C Taryn's Shiver and have crafted it into a ~50C one completely unaware of how valuable it is. But even still I feel like a pleb...

I think the brine king and arakaali fights are awesome, could take or leave the rest. Still not as polished as blizzard but making strides.

My resists are maxed. But the mobs are trash mobs so they deal physical anyway.

I cleared the rest of the map without any issues, so I doubt my damage is the issue. Besides, even if I had 100k dps, it still wouldn't matter since I die instantly the moment I enter the room.

Even your chaos resist?

Immortal call, stibnite, etc. But it's a jungle map so whatever. You probably just need better gear.

The bow build guide says to use tornado shot but tornado shot seems to suck rear end compared to blast rain. Is there something i'm missing?

TShot scales extremely well with additional projectiles, throw a GMP on it.

Thanks GGG for fixing a bug critical to my current Poison character that I didn't even know existed, but like, drat that's some bug.

code:

Updated the Labyrinth to not be able to spawn Darkshrine effects that could overwrite a Darkshrine effect already in the Labyrinth.

Does this mean you can't get more than one shrine effect per run?

That's probably the default loot filter hiding some items. Is there no binding on the Xbone version to toggle "show all items?" Shameful if true

So out of pure luck I found Bisco's. I assume this is worth more to me using it than selling it, correct?

If you can accommodate the amulet slot without losing clear speed, yeah probably.

With life being so strong, it's not a bad idea to hang onto it. But if you don't think you'll reroll sell it to fund your current character.

Save them for strongboxes you plan to invest more orbs into. Like Diviner's, Armourer's if you are going to vaal, ... that's all I can think of. Maybe some unique strongboxes.

And yeah, quality is a pretty small adjustment overall.

For the record, https://pastebin.com/LuVq1tnn is current build and https://pastebin.com/ePwmvw1U is theoretical build

One thing I noticed is that the bleed doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot?

Crimson dance doesn't show properly in PoB I think? So that number should be 8x what it is.

idk much about bleed builds tbh. Wouldn't you want a skill that hits harder but less often to proc bigger bleeds?

The only time I've died in 3.0 to a volatile has been while standing in the middle of a harbinger's shitstorm in a nemesis map. They're very simple to play around now for both melee and ranged, volatiles are good now.

Well, except that the ball should look different based on the type of damage.

e: VVV I stand corrected, volatile is perfect as is

This one?

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1930275

I'm playing almost this guy's exact build and it's fun and strong but not something I'd recommend as a league starter, the entire passive tree is focused on maximizing movespeed and makes up for the lack of damage and survivability with a small handful of very strong rares.

QOTF + Blade Vortex is a strong combo, BV makes sustain a joke with leech + VP and you can definitely make a league starter out of it, but if you're referring to this specific build I'd look for a more general build with different passives and different gear.

FWIW I ran BV pathfinder just going for MoM and a decent life pool, worked very well and got me through all of the end game content just through the virtues of level 20 gems, VP, and not being oneshot by things. Perfectly suitable for a starter build, if you are comfortable with how BV feels before you hit maps.

You still need it. If you party with a player and neither of you have the passive, you'll override each other's curses. Same deal here.

Did something change about Stacked Decks? I've never found any before except in Putrid Cloister, but this evening I found two in random maps.

Also, does it make a difference where you are when you turn it into a worthless divination card?

Don't think it matters.
