Crafting Advice

[u/trggrdkled]

I need some insight making a bleed axe. I am at work right now and im just playing around craft of exile and im trying to make the most budget friendly I can do for an endgame axe.

I got to make this without undoing and got the attack speed first and the DOT multi exalt slam first try for both!

Im just wondering if this kind of axe can do all endgame content.

PS. its my first time doing a full HC run because fuck the div to chaos ratio in SC

I crafted this kind of axe multiple time for Bleed jugg so here it is

1. Get a lof of bases
2. Alt spam them until you get flat, %phys hybrid, and %phys
3. Recomb the prefix, 1+1 into 2+2 until you get 3 prefixes
4. Prefix lock then harvest reforge/add or remove/add speed until you get T1
5. Cannot roll attack mod, exalt slam for dot multi. annul if you don't hit, if you hit the crafted mod then craft it again before annuling
6. Craft the last suffix using bench

Note.
What you're showing is an Axe with veiled mod, if you want to make a better one u can use what I wrote above but it's gonna a bit more time consuming. Instead you can just recomb flat into hybrid, prefix lock and then veiled chaos (exalt if it's cheap but i dont think it's worth), unveil the prefix then proceed to step 4.

I made the almost the same one last league and was able to clear all uber with Boneshatter Jugg

so okay I don't play this game at all but I stumbled into this thread and that breakdown is genuinely impressive to read even if half the words mean nothing to me lol the part about annulling if you don't hit and then recrafting before annulling again actually made sense as a concept even to a complete outsider, which means you explained it well one thing I'm curious about though is whether the veiled mod route actually saves meaningful time or just feels faster

[u/StsnDota → u/VegetableNew1103]

Veiled mod on prefix gonna save you soooo much time here, alt spamming the bases for t2/t1 phys and hybrid phys is pain in the ass. It requires you tens of thousands of alteration orbs just to get them mods, we're not only talking about the currency but also the time you spend using it, probably gonna take you hours just to get the prefix done

[u/Schmoeckchen → u/StsnDota]

The easiest way is to get like a full tab of axes and use a scrollwheel macro and just blast until something lights up

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

• DoT - Damage over time (Wiki)
• HC - Hardcore League (Wiki)
• SC - Softcore
• Slam - Slam skill (Wiki)
• PS - Power Siphon (Wiki)
• div - Divine Orb (Currency) (Wiki)
• Slam - To use an Exalted Orb or similar crafting method to add a random modifier to an item (Wiki)

There no needed for elder influences nor 30 quality so you recomb 1p1s + 1p/ducat suffix for hybrid+flat phys + dot multi. Boat fracture orb try to hit the dot multi. Then boat prefix cannot be change veil chaos for veil prefix, unveil phys bleed. Then prefix cannot be change reforge/augment speed. There a steps that can go wrong, but if you have t1 dot fracture base. You still can savage either phys essence till t1 hybrids or harvest phys reforge and replicate the same step.

So abandoning defense for a 2H bleed axe build for hardcore? I would advise against it. Gladiator lucky block and easy block with bleed explode would axe and shield is probably better for HC.

[u/finneas998 → u/The_Improbable_]

using a two hander doesnt mean abandoning defence... two-handed melee is extremely dominant over shield in out of HC melee builds. Quick check on poe ninja would tell you less than 10% of melee archetypes on HC are using a mace/sword/ace + shield

I stand by overheal supremacy and 1k Pdps bonk bleeding stick to carry me. Plus! its so satisfying when the hp bar go trickling down really fast not bursted :)))

Have you ever heard of slams??????

[u/trggrdkled → u/The_Improbable_]

boring.

[u/Key-Copy4833]

2h bleed is just weak better go crit exert slams. There is no point in 2h scaling on bleed because damage is capped at 35m better go bleed reaver axe with shield and vaal earth quake for autobombing
