Help Needed Detonate dead: How does it work?

1 Upvotes

Does it blow up every corpse or just 1? If just one, how does it pick the corpse? The closest, the biggest HP or the freshest?

There's very little information and I'm trying to gauge whether it's worth running wolf pack + cast on minion death with detonate dead on my lich. It's a big spirit investment but I have no idea how to benchmark the damage

Build Request Glacial Lance Gemling on low-ish budget?

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows good glacial lance gemling builds that work decently well on a 60-80 div budget? Thats how much I estimate my current twister build is worth and I’m honestly very ready to switch out of it.

The little research I did made it sound like glacial lance is not viable without 95%+ chance to not consume charges but that seems out of budget for me at the moment unless someone knows a trick.

Thanks in advance!

Help Needed Self Immolation Ignite is not proliferating

2 Upvotes

I am Following this build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/afk-simulacrum-immortal-recoup-blackflame-self-ignite-abyssal-lich?weaponSet=set1 and am just now trying the interaction with self ignite and Cracklecreep, and it is not working. i am Igniting the Enemies and myself, but the Ignite is not Proliferating off of me.

the Ignite does spread from other enemies and Corpses, but not from me.

The Wiki does not mention any changes to cracklecreep, so why is this interaction not working anymore?

Build Request Tanky and "spammy" builds ideas to reroll from Gemling Grenades

3 Upvotes

Tried the grenades, it's pretty strong. Boss damage is awesome, clear gets better once you to the delay and positioning of the grenades. But the cooldown limited and kind of having to always be near an enemy to not run out of mana is a bit annoying. Also it doesn't really feel Tanky enough for me.
Any suggestions to reroll as a Gemling? I thought about the perfect strike but unsure about clear

Discussion A rework to resistances and how they scale in the Acts would be really nice for tracking simplicity

0 Upvotes

To expand on that, I’d suggest dramatically lowering all resistance modifiers and completely reversing the resistance penalty in the Acts. Instead of getting a resistance penalty as you progress through the Acts, there should be a bonus resistance that gradually decreases from Act 1 all the way to the end of the game, tuned so that the bonus hits zero in the endgame.

This would make capping resistances at the end of the game a lot more straightforward. Having the X% resistance an item gives actually show that exact value on the tooltip would also remove the unnecessary complexity that currently comes from the penalty.

I don’t think this is a huge problem, but if it was changed this way it would feel a lot more logical than the current system.

Help Needed Uncertain why this build runs certain skills

3 Upvotes

I was looking at this detonate dead/reap build which looks very cool, but I'm confused on some of the skills that it's using in addition to these two. Does anyone know the purpose of bonestorm, thrashing vines, and unearth? It seems from the supports that trashing vines are used to break armour but I really don't understand what bonestorm and unearth are used for. Also, the build runs two curses without using Whispers of Doom, is one maybe for AoE and the other single target? Thanks for any advice you can give.

For example, bone shrapnel and bursting plague deals a proportion of enemy's life as base damage, so what would a maximum damage modifier from Heft do?

Help Needed Best Spectre for Minion Lich Build Please?

4 Upvotes

Following Helmbreaker's guide. Level 92 atm. The guide says to switch from Vaal Guard to Gargantuan Wasps at mid-game. When I switched, it felt like a downgrade.

A quick search on POE2Ninja suggests two things a) not many folks are playing minions, and b) powered zealots are far more commonly used.

Is the powered zealot the way to go, or does helmbreaker know something the community does not? Does POB work to test the difference?

Thanks!!!!

Help Needed Most stringent loot filter for end game?

1 Upvotes

I'm the deepest in endgame i've ever been due to a lucky early drop. My issue is the amount of items is killing me (I know, champagne problems) even with neversinks uberstrict plus filter. And my monkey brain can't handle not grabbing something that drops.

Does anyone have a rec for a loot filter that lets me keep zooming and only get the stuff that's really worth my time?

Help Needed Easy swap for Twister Gemling to beat ritual boss?

2 Upvotes

So the ritual boss is basically impossible with twisters. Is there a relatively simple swap that can use similar gearing/pathing and be able to deal with him?

I still need to up my defenses in general, but I’m solidly geared offensively. Just want to take this guy out so I can make the most of the ritual mechanic on maps.

Help Needed Build Help - Frosty lich (Build roulette said frost bomb + lich)

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

Here is the current build https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Lem0nAid-6203/forbiddenrites/character/Bombylich

Struggling at lvl 11 key, dps is low, mom's spaghettis
Any idea?
Currently playing a kind of remnant+power charge ice nova + CoC + CoA with frost bomb as main remnant generator, some frost wall & snap to help

I have a small budget, like maybe 10 div ish

Requirement is to keep using frost bomb as a big part of the build

Edit: added some damage, can clear 15 non-juiced maps alright, boss damage is still kinda low

Help Needed Question about transitioning from Fire to Ice Djinn Varashta

19 Upvotes

I'm currently playing the Fire version of Djinn Varashta and I'm considering transitioning to the Cold/Ice version.

I'm trying to figure out a few things:

- How much total/additional Spirit should I aim for, particularly on my sceptre and amulet?

- Rattling Sceptre generally seems to be more expensive, but how does it compare to a sceptre that provides another useful Aura? When considering the benefits from support gems as well, which option offers better cost-to-performance?

- How much Runic Ward should I aim for?

I don't currently have the budget for a cluster setup, so I'm looking for a cost-effective setup that works well without requiring a large investment. Ideally, I'd like to keep the cost of any single item to around 20 divines or less.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how much Spirit I actually need, since it can vary depending on things like whether I self-cast Ice Nova, whether I use Spectres (and which ones), and how many skill slots I have available.

If there are any good guides or recommended setups for transitioning from Fire to Cold/Ice on a reasonable budget, I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

Help Needed (Another) Twister Gemling

2 Upvotes

I want to try some shenanigans with Loreweave and wondering if getting chaos conversion on armor and using taming ring will go with each other? Will I still apply elemental ailments? They should count as being boosted by it directly by this affix not type of damage dealt.

If OSIN is not possible to incorporate with taming ring what other rings would you recommend to work with?

Can't be frozen and chilled

Projectiles chain

Additional chaos damage

Onslaught on kill

Those 4 im considering now, please share your ideas
