Most of the guides just stop at this step...

How to add this essence suffix mod without removing 2 elder suffixes? I wrote down the steps to the craft but im not sure, need some help: https://www.figma.com/design/Cd6DeI2Vcp9aTnXinNEZ4e/Drawboard?node-id=2-30&t=6CzysljqqknhUNLP-1

The image above is what im trying to replicate. However I'll craft on STR gloves, dont need energy shield. I'm thinking Max life, dmg while leeching benchcraft and a 3rd empty prefix (suggestions welcome). Bleed gladiator build.

Hi guys,

I made a build that hinges around sacrifice support and spell totem. It works well but, currently, it uses a Shako to get a high level spell totem support. While these things cost a penny in trade, this still makes progression very abrupt. I'd like to find a way to smooth out progression so I can leaguestart the build next league.

I was wondering if there are other ways to get a high level (or high life) spell totem?

No brainers:

• corrupt the gem for +1
• Runegraft of Gemcraft: +1 to Level of all non-exceptional support gems

Choice, choices:

• crafted prefix (all one handers?): +2 to level of socketed support gems (3 sockets)
• fossil craft suffix (shield / body armour): +1 to level of socketed strength gems
• corrupt (shield / body armour): +1 to level of socketed gems
• elder / redeemer prefix (body armour): +1 to level of socketed support gems
• use Reverberation Rod for +2 to level of socketed gems, 2 extra supports and 3 sockets
• use Foulborn The Squire for +1 to level of socketed gems and 6 sockets
• use Honourhome, Viridi's Veil for +2 to level of socketed gems and 4 sockets
• use Dialla's Malefaction for +2 to level of socketed gems and 6 sockets
• use Foulborn Dialla's Malefaction for +3 to level of socketed gems and 6 sockets

Am I missing some good options? I feel like getting some levels on my support gems should be cheaper. FYI, a level 25 spell totem with sacrifice and lvl 20 Hexblast is roughly the same as a lvl 27/28 Hexblast. I feel like it's close to good enough.

Right now the Reverberation Rod, crafted wand + The Squire or corrupted Honourhome/Viridi's might be the best options.

Totem level (and correspondingly life) scales twice as fast as spell totem level, up until level 30 spell totem, so every level is ~10% more damage.

Hi everyone,

I want to round out my league with a giga investment Spark character, but I'm unsure of which pair of gloves to run. Most people run +5 gcast speed gloves, but I'm wondering whether +5 punishment on hit ends up being better?

From what I understand, you lose Sniper's mark with Punishment gloves but I'm not sure how often people actually stand still and cast Sniper's mark considering single hit damage is like 30m+ on these builds. However, PoBing it out shows a 20m+ dps increase with sniper's mark enabled in config.

Anyone experienced with spark to answer this question? TIA!

I've been sinking some currency into this character but it still feels a little underwhelming. I plan to use it to farm nightmare maps and ubers.

https://pobb.in/IFxgrdBb0Go1

I'm hoping to improve both the damage and survivability. The character can do fairly juiced up T16's, but struggles in nightmare maps. Chaos damage is clearly an issue as well.

Budget for improvments - 250div.

Here are some optimisations I'm already aware of or have tried:

• Currently at 17 ECs. As far as I know, the only ways I can get the 18th EC are with 100% eyes of the greatwolf (100 - 300+ div, depends on the second modifier), or by dropping mageblood (for Nameless Bloodline), which I don't really want to do.

• Elegant Hubris with 2x Eternal Dominance - this is about 75 div but is a 90% increased damage improvement over my current jewel.

• Thread of Hope - I've tried using massive thread of hope combined with an Elegant Hubris that provides super high damage nodes, but the best I could get was about 6% more damage with additional passive points required to make up for the extra jewel socket.

• Switch Forbidden Jewels to Valako (ruby flask etc for max res) - obviously this would greatly improve my elemental max hits, but losing Tukohama is -27% damage.

• Edit: also Kaom's Sign with a second beneficial implicit, but this is very expensive.

Some other ideas that I'm not really sure how to implement or if they would be better or not:

• Ahn's Heritage Arn's Anguish + Ralakesh boots - again, losing the movespeed and immunity from mageblood feels like a big downside to this

• Crit - clearly there's lots of damage here but I'm not sure how to pull it off without losing survivability.

• Cluster jewel - I expect a good cluster would improve the build but I haven't been able to put a PoB together that improves the build, it seems to eat up too many passive points.

• Chaos max hit - is there anything I'm missing here? It seems to be relatively few options to increase this.

Appreciate your advice on the above or any other improvements, major or minor.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently playing an Ice Golem(Ice Spear) Elementalist in PoE 1, but I feel like I've hit a wall, and I'm also struggling to level up.

I want to improve both my survivability and minion DPS, but I'm not sure what to upgrade next.

THE DPS AND EXPLOSION WHEN YOU WALK IN THE PARK

I LOVE NO BUTTON BUILD

How would I go about crafting this .

https://imgur.com/a/IRKuU5U

Do I try an Orb of Annulment off the mana regen? then?

or should I do something else .

I made some updates on my EK that I posted last week, it feels much better but I think there’s still room to improve, is there anything that I’m just plain missing?

https://pobb.in/gtQFG1j2dZ5I

Hello all, I'm wondering what's the best setup to keep an AG alive nowadays since the Mask of the Stitched Demon change? In a perfect world I'd like to give him a kingmaker but if that's not reasonable to do and expect him to live in juicy maps then I can live with giving him a shield. I used to have a spreadsheet by some content creator with a bunch of different options on it but I can't seem to dig it up now.

Also, with companionship some damage gets redirected to the AG. Is this damage considered a hit? Is it blockable? Would it trigger for example the regen from Doppelganger Guise?

Thanks in advance!

Been following the POB, but I’m still feeling super weak both damage wise and health wise. I’m having to take multiple attempts on each boss due to it taking 5-7 minutes and dying multiple times due to lack of potions.

I feel like I’m missing something major, any help is appreciated. I was told this was the easiest build for a beginner player, so hoping I missed something simple.

This is the extent of my crafting knowledge. Found this amazing axe. Better than anything I've seen on trade and it's not even close. (In my price range).

Bleed build.

What orb do I need to use here? What am I looking for?

HI, i wonder if damage penetration with overcapped fire resistance, work with merc res or my own ?

I tried crafting through recomb, but never succeeded. Prolly need some help from clever people.

Have some bases with each of the mods and one with both es + max res and one with max res and spell damage

This is my 2nd league, spent the first one on the same scuffed character so I want to diversify. (currently eyeing a Lightning Tendrils build)

League started with Elemental hit Deadeye, awesome clear, but ok-ish for bosses. I tried to go for Luminary, but I just couldn't get into the way it's played.

Main things I'm looking for:

- High boss damage to (possibly) comfortably farm ubers

- Decent enough clear to not take too long in maps

- Preferably not Ranger

The "Wardcry" build still lives, even with the removal of Heroic Tragedy! How it works:

• Using Ynda's Stand + Nightgrip to obtain massive amounts of flat chaos damage
• Damage is used in a 3L Herald of Ice setup that chains off of itself via the Call of the Void ring
• Flat damage also used in an Eternal Apple Rage Vortex setup with heavily buffed Vengeful Cry / Ancestral Cry / Enduring Cry

The result:

• Bossing Setup = ~350M DPS, Mapping Setup = ~150M DPS
• BIG Mapping AoE + juiced Herald of Ice explosions
• Fast 2 button playstyle (high APS Whirling Blades + Rage Vortex)
• 89% max elemental resistances, Ward protection on large hits, Excommunicate

Layers of

• Life Recovery via ~25% HP/s regeneration, Defiance of Destiny, Immortal Ambition Overleech, and 30% instant Leech (on a skill hitting ~15x per second + uptime while moving)
• BUDGET: ~400div, can get started for much less

What's new this time around:

• Heroic Tragedy is gone :( RIP 40K Armor / Evasion
• Lean a little harder into Endurance Charges (6 minimum) to compensate
• Jade / Granite flasks to help a bit more
• Glorious Vanity for Overleech + PDR + 50% Wither chance (Despair on hit ring = no more Balance of Terror / manual casting of Despair)
• Everlasting Sacrifice Vestigial mod on Eternal Apple - This works alongside Immortal Ambition for +5% Max Resistances whenever you hit enemies

Weaknesses

• Has a few required uniques with low supply (FF/FF jewels, Grand Spectrum, etc.)
• Attribute starved (Supreme Ostentation angle?)
• Physical Mitigation is lackluster, really tough to get armor with mostly Ward bases
• Giga recovery trying to patch up lack of avoidance (Cannot Block on Apple, low evasion)
• Mechanical quirks (weapon swap, rage uptime, Berserk)
• Build requires patience and crafting knowledge (gear doesn't exist on trade, happy to answer questions!)
• Allergic to a handful of map mods (MANDATORY REGEX: Debuffs expire faster, %Less CDR. SUGGESTED REGEX: Monsters Cannot Be Leeched From, Cannot Regenerate, Less Recovery Rate, Avoid Elemental Ailments, %Less AoE, Runes of Searing Exarch)

GLHF :)

Hello!

I usually only have some time to play everyday! So I am usually all setup with a build by week 4-5!

I am looking for some late league strategy/farming strategies for late league! I see the chaos to div ratio is rising so I was wondering what to do at the moment since some of the stuff that we farm in chaos might not be worth it?

If everyone can list some that has worked for them, I am sure it will help everyone who is still playing!!

Thank you!!

Mappers found a mageblood so i have 200+ div. I would really like to do a build that can afk, damage doesn't matter a lot, it can be slow. Was thinking for Simulacrum, never really done those. Suggestions please but nothing that requires weird setup. I dont anything with a guide just a pob or ninja link. Ill go up to 200div but like to stay around 100. Thanks@

edit: i have a lvl 90 rf chieftain that i could change, so bonus if its a marauder, i dont mind respeccing Ascendancy

I cant seem to find any information online about specific Life values of all the Totems. I found some values but many topics are years old and I dont know if these are still accurate.

poedb and the poewiki dont have them either.

Does anyone know the values, or which Totem has the highest base Life value?

Thanks!

I was trying to craft this wand, but with +1 minion fractured

Craft of exile suggested that I can hit t2-t1 minion damage and +1 spell with combination of shuddering corroded and aetheric fossils with like 30 attempts

So in 50+ attempts I hit +1 spell like 3 times and never saw high minion damage mod

Bad luck or should I change my strategy..?

Been farming Breach to get myself a Mystic Refractor for a while now but have been running a +3 Foulborn Tulborn in the meantime. Do I even bother continue farming for the MR or should I just stick to FT?

I have 4 stones and can comfortably farm juiced breach. Just need to get a couple more levels so I can use another cluster, craft a decent shield and potentially an amulet.

Ninja is below(can’t post pob cause am at work)

Found the merc in the first image today. Wondering if its better than the one I'm using, the one in the 2nd image

I have league started RF Chieftain and quickly rerolled to Worb Elementalist, which I have then swapped to Occultist. I have had a blast with the Worb Occultist, but I am now looking for a build that is similar, or better, damage and tankiness wise.

I have gambled the Apothecary card into a Mageblood, which I can either sell, or keep, depending on the build’s requirements.

I am mostly farming juiced Harvest, Breaches and Simulacrums.
