Last season I played a Summon Flaming Skull build, and would like to play a more tank / life-leeching oriented build. What is a good cheap build for that?

Is there a page that breaks down pricing?

There was an amulet sold above for over an Exalted, and I don't understand why. It has spell damage and life, but lacked any resistances.

I finally specced out of strongboxes. I'm going to give Beyond a go now that I am juicing maps more. If Beyond turns out to be a dud, I'll switch back and avoid the double divination and map portion.

So far expedition and Ritual have made me the most cash.
I'm hoping that Harbringer, Ritual, and Expedition will work well with Beyond. I'm also specced into Essences, which seems like a good baseline for making some cash every run.
Would love to hear other people's endgame currency trees.

Also:

Really hate scarabs dropping in my combo even if the reroll twice is good. Is the best Garg version of the combo: Reju, treant, assassin, garg?

I should do this. Tree doesn’t require many changes, right? Just switching off minion aoe nodes?

I am very bad at this game, and Skellie mages is like playing on easy mode.

Beyond Passive Tree Report:
I hate it; it doesn't seem to be worth the points, and I'm going back to strongboxes. Expedition still is seems to be doing the best for me.

Beyond has absolutely fantastic rewards but if your character can't handle them you shouldn't do them. When you get more beefy then you can turn it on. I didn't start with any of the Beyond nodes because I knew those fuckers would tear my starter up.

I've dumped probably 200 orbs of unmaking into my atlas this season. It's cool and good to change whatever you want based off your strengths.

I can survive with the beyond tree + map bonus selection on T16 until I add delirium to it. The lag + the challenge is just too much.
It takes me a while though, because my skellies need a bit more dps. I have a 50 minion damage +1 Minion gem wand, and really need to get that with the extra +1 spell skills.
I also need awakened gems.

Maybe Beyond has much better payoff with sextants? I've been saving them for when I have the 4 voidstones.

I am also really liking ritual.

PConc people, I have a devouring Diadem question.

Is the increased duration of ailments while focused really that much better than something like chaos resist?
Is the idea that you can poison a pack and just run past it knowing it will die eventually?

Larry Parrish posted:

inc duration for poison is effectively a more damage modifier. im not of the school that it's required necessarily but if you're not going to swap to a better skill then it probably is for single target. im in t9s and starting to wish i had crafted it already at this point instead of waiting for better gear to slap it on.

Thanks, i've never played using Focus and it sounds like just one more button to have to manage. I guess I could just add it to my movement key.

I just hoard challenging stuff for when I ding a level in the 90s and then just run all of that poo poo at once. Once I zero that stuff out I focus on safely leveling.
I just hit 96, and I maybe will push towards 97, but I think I can do wave 30 Sim now, so I'm not stressing it. I got to 27 last time I tried, and I got significant upgrades since then, so wish me luck in about 10 mins here.

Edit: Got worked at 23 by K-sword man.

I've never done any type of brand build before, and I was thinking of trying out this Storm Brand guide https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2890856/page/1 by Velyna as a league starter.

Am I shooting myself in the foot?
Is RF still a decent league starter this go around; if so, does anyone have a good guide for a bad player like myself?

Go back a page, that build was brought up.

Pohx is still the RF king, and he just posted an updated video for 3.19. Haven't looked at it, but about the biggest change coming to this build in 3.19 I can think of is that it's going to be harder to get spell suppression capped because the item mods got nerfed and you're on the exact opposite side of the tree from those nodes.

Oof, thank you sir.

Sounds like you were very bad at figuring out sentinel. I'm a terrible player, absolute garbage at farming currency, and even I was being showered in loot that league.

Were you not using your dried up currency sentinels to combine with others to try and hit currency again?

I am doing Lightning Conduit. There is often so much stuff in screen or my attention sucks that I just die. I am starting to hate the dying.





Any pro tips? Max block/spell block? Another build? More damage?

Is there something in your build requiring you to have no lightning res?

Back to PoE..? What would be a good bow build? Tornado shot ranger, if I want to fill the screen with arrows?

it's more than fine to level with - you just run like 3 life flasks and pick up the life flask recharge cluster north of the ranger start, and you don't use lmp anymore.

it is probably the best poison pathfinder build to get to maps with if you are running any tree that can spec out of it at around level 80 for less than 15 points.

I'm planning on starting it, and both snoobae and ruetoo are starting it as well. It is absolutely a "I plan to spec out of this as soon as I can play my real build" situation, but it is still excellent for running acts/starting maps with dogshit gear.

In Snoo we trust! I would prefer a toxic rain start that transitions more easily into TS, but I'm sticking with my horse.

Dude who farms 10+ mirror characters while sharing his strats whether they bomb or not. Helped discover that delirium has no affect on drop rates for strongbox monsters.
His speech pattern is a little annoying though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaEs030QOzU&t=352s

Herstory, might want to share the leveling / pinnacle boss slayer gear before the swap to TS if you are trying to make a point.
I am not saying this is going to be the BEST BUILD (all other builds are dumb), but this guy has a pretty good track record of understanding the economy and farming it.
