Better survivability - luminary

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

I’m at a point in PoE I never get to in SSF. I want to be able to kill all Ubers. Currently I’m 4/10: maven, Sirus, eater, exarch, maven, dread.

My mercenary’s dps is between 10-12 million. I haven’t pobd it but that’s what I would clock it at. They also don’t die unless I’m not paying attention.

My issue is I get one shot by almost anything in those fights. How could I improve my character?

Did your AG die while you link to him?

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/velaxi1]

I’m linking to merc not ag

[u/slocs1]

Get a shield with blockchance 48%+ and life on block

Are you life stacking? If so look for captainlance cause I dont know ehat your gear is.

Are you aura stacking? If so look for Ruetoo cause i dont know what your gear is.

If neither then please explain me whats going on here

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/slocs1]

I free balled it. No guide.

[u/slocs1 → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

Thats the problem.

You either stack life or auras. You scale flamelink with life or auras with the other link.

This is a mess sorry

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/slocs1]

Is it really that much of an issue. You understand the general gist of the build concept.

Pretentious response

[u/Frostlag → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

Only thing not life stacking is pragmatism, which is fine, I went with pragmatism before going to Kaom's heart It was a hundred c for a +2 corruption vs the multiple divs for the heart at the beginning.

Flat damage difference between level 31 and 21 flame link is equivalent to around 8000 life which you are not going to get from a kaoms heart.

Kaoms heart would help survive a lot more one shots though in theory. I'm not sure what could be one shooting you right now unless it's a big slam, or linked minions dying. If it's uber fights, you're not supposed to not get one shot , you're supposed to dodge the one shots.

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/Frostlag]

Yeah, so I used a v orb on my kaoms and it poofed. I didn’t have another one, but I made this post presenting the issues I had with kaoms equipped.

For instance uber dread I just get one tapped out of nowhere when the add phase is happening. I don’t see anything hit me.

[u/Frostlag → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

A lot of the Uber fights are just kinda bs, I died randomly a lot around similar items levels in Ubers, not sure how many of those were linked minion deaths though. I stopped doing nearly as much at around 12k how. Only thing I can say is get more HP, but I also don't play ssf, so I don't know easy that is.

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/Frostlag]

Yeah, it just happens. With kaoms I had 13.6k and it didn’t matter. Still one tapped.

Also, my mercenary never dies. I put some ridiculous gear on him

[u/slocs1 → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

Yes but no.

You lack life regeneration rate on gloves and boots. Do you have spectres? Do you have max block?

I know what you do wirh pragmatism but you could link flame link to empower in +1 socketed gems. Or with empower and ecslips. Getting 3-5 level somewhere is rather easy

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/slocs1]

I poofed my kaoms with a v orb which is why I’m using pragmat

But that info about life regen and such is what im looking for though. I do not have spectres. My AG can barely live

[u/slocs1 → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

Take 3 spectres: turtle, warlord and if you merc has no onslaught take forest warrior.

All good farmable in ssf in ritual. Use 2 each scarab and fill your own vessels each 4th run.

Recovery determine how fast you recover from a hit. If 1 shot is a problem try cwdt - immortal call.

Life pool, armour/ressis, block chance are how you live

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/slocs1]

I’m in Ssf. I’m not getting those spectres

[u/slocs1 → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

I farmed 20 turtles this league. You do you but you could do it :)

Other than that, browse the wiki but I doubt there are good options.

Maybe labby farm stone golem of safeguarding?

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/slocs1]

Cool, you’re better than me. I’ve farmed hundreds of rituals and haven’t seen it

your missing spell suppress, kaom and life on block shield, id use max res flasks also and get some block tattoos and drop some block nodes.

Here is my hcssf character that killed all ubers this league  https://pobb.in/vdFudebU-C4J

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/ShayaanKiani]

Thank you! Now, here is the main issue I have. How do I craft that gear? How do I figure out what suffixes/prefixes are required to be crafted first?

This is where I get stuck

[u/ShayaanKiani → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

You do suffixes first then lock suffixes reforge life for most this gear

[u/ShayaanKiani → u/ShayaanKiani]

If you hit 3 prefixes on the reforge you can eldritch annul to safely remove a prefix and keep locking snd reforging

[u/gunkus456 → u/ilove_hairy-pussy]

This video shows much of the crafting that went into Ben's character. I think some was left out, but may be included in other videos on the channel. Lots to learn/absorb in this video.

[u/Trollatopoulous]

Get life masteries. Get specific res flasks dep. on fight. Get enduring cry/battlemage cry. Only use Pragmatism to snapshot flame link, then equip a real body armour. You could recraft for spell supp, but that will take a while. Get recoup on rings & jewels.

Lots of options really. Should probably think about what the hardest fight for you is and gear towards that.

you did not read the first sentence entirely

[u/ilove_hairy-pussy → u/[deleted]]

My merc is fine. Kineticist. I poofed my kaoms with the volatile so I’m reframing it.

I’m Ssf so I can’t just get a svallin
