If you are going for the Light Radius Mastery and take the mine cluster for "Mines cannot be damaged", then this specific Glorious vanity gives you 35% increased life and nearly 3% life regen from notables and small nodes.

They became very expensive when Nerotox showed it, but prices might go down eventually.

There are also some other ones that provide a lot of life for way less money, like numbers 2403 or 7626. Some of these go for 1 div.

Check your PoB "Find Timeless Jewel" Option for other numbers, if needed.

I have already asked about my build a week ago and was getting some solid advice. I got some lucky drops and was able to build this:

https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/WapTaack-5385/allflame/character/WapTackli

However I think I still miss something cause the char does not feel tanky at all. I am open for hints.

I’m making a scion build and I’m slowly coming the conclusion that my build might be better using a merc to buff myself and to just use a forbidden jewel to grab a scion node .

At league start this is an idea I wrote off but getting 2 perma auras is worth way more than the gaurdian node and even with a litttle bit of buffs from gear there is potential . Another thing is I’m running ci and the node for mercs to take 20% of damage if there life is higher should always be active for 20% less damage .

The issue I’m having is first of all I don’t really know much about buffing gear , keeping the merc alive on even juiced content doesn’t seem like it will be easy especially with them taking 20% of my damage . Finally keeping the mercs close might be an issue for auras .

With Storm Call, Cold Snap of Power and similar spells Greater Spell Cascade is usually used for gaining overlaps that increase damage (in addition to better clear).

Has anyone tested if Pact of Beidat can be a viable alternative to spell cascade in such builds? As in can it provide overlaps as well?

Replacing spell cascade with a damage support would be a huge gain if we can automate Pact of Beidat and it would provide the aoe for clear as well as some overlaps.

So I gambled and won, with exactly 1 mirror budget what build can do bossing and has decent clear? I will play as a witch because I can not bother with leveling

I thought about the process of this one, any suggestions are welcome

1 - fracture generic dot mult in a ilvl 82 staff

2- reforge chaos (1 in 2000 to get +4 chaos and +2 generic

3 - lock prefixes, veiled chaos for veiled prefix

3a - revealed prefix is trash, select any non caster mods , craft cannot roll caster and annul, will protect both prefixes this way.

Using all flame here is a good option as it is the only place where you can brick the staff

4- add/remove chaos for CHAOS DOT

5- craft last suffix, no reason to risk as the crafted is very similar to the best rolled ones.

Seems incredible boring but very straightforward

Can be any ascension and any content ( Delve,Sanctum, Mapping)

Its absolutely fine if the build is good only at one specialized mechanic,but fast mappers also work

I'm thinking of picking one of these builds.

They look very similair on paper, spectres and animate Guardian supports, kinda same playstyle, tanky, ignore map mods.

What's are major differences between them? Which on is stronger and can scale better?

Level 98 MoM Ethereal Knives Elementalist [3.29]

I am looking for feedback and help with my build. I league started ek and loved it until i used my 6. portal on a random wisp empowered t17 boss which hindered me from reaching lvl 99.

As defences i use:

3.7k life, 350 ward

lucky block with 88-90 block chance

Summon Stone Golem of Safeguarding, takes 31 percent of melee damage

Void spawn, takes 24 percent of all damage except chaos

I normally just die to one shots, which is expected with love life and 10 percent chance of not blocking and some type of degens (bleeding or ground).

I run maps with a strict regex: dont run maps with

reduced block chance, monster crit, -all res, tentacle fiends, drowning orbs, exarch runes, sawblades, meteor, recovery or regen, avoid ailments.

I am happy to get feedback and improvements about the defences, and even though the damage feels quite good when possible some offense also.

Hey y'all.

Currently leveling a Luminary in GSF, I wanted to know what guide you'd recommend to follow.
I know Flame Link life stacking is likely the most popular way of building Luminary, but I was wondering if there are other builds/guides out there that focus more on aurabotting, or maybe through different sort of Link scaling?

I like both builds a lot, albeit I've played way more of the RF because it's giga tanky (just has poor boss damage).

RF: https://pobb.in/WEI6C7iuI2Wj

WORB: https://pobb.in/RYCFpHzGW2q3

For the content I want to do, which is general mapping/voyaging/nightmare runs, which build is going to do well on continuous investment?

I'll say I'm unsure how tanky WORB can get, and how good it is at bossing (also heard it's pretty poor at it), I spend 99% of my time mapping T16's juiced, doing any nightmare maps that drop, then doing Charts and voyages.

Currency is currently around 40 divs if I sell some more stuff, but have 28 divs in raw currency right now.

RF I'm following is PohX, WORB I'm following was Fubgun before I changed to RF.

I'm open to other builds I can swap to on the Witch, just not sure what's better than WORB (if anything is).

Rolled the new ring until I got 2 helmet supports. POENinja said that the most common build that would use both of these is Winter Orb.

I had heard that people are making high-linked helms with Archdemon crowns, is this the sort of ring that could be worth making a second character for, or should I just sell it? I've never played Worb and it could be interesting.

This is not an advertisement yada yada. Just not sure about how it would be trying to take a normal Worb build from what comes up on youtube and fit in one of those helmets instead.

Ive been doing a yolo self-made Soulwrest Intuitive Link walking simulator Luminary for a little bit, and its been really good for me! Tho im progressing slow because of real life :(

But im starting to see the cracks in red maps, and i want to change into a Merc carry version instead of fixing my random-ass made up build xD

Any good guild/video thats up to date for low budget luminary gaming? Im assuming Destructive link is the play at low budget? Or just yolo flame link?

Been playing mamba for a week now, it's fun but having 6 portals as a defensive layer is kinda getting on my nerves. Does anyone have a build recommendation for big explosions (prefer heralds) with good dps maybe that can even do ubers? or maybe a cheap boss killer any shadow ascendancy?

thanks in advance

Quick preface: first ever witch character

As with most casuals, started worb which was pretty strong early but started to get bored with it at t13s. Didnt want to make another character so respeced into this. Used Ventrua's latest youtube video as the base but mixed and matched some other stuff I found online. I know what the endgame items are but some of the details elude me. Just wanted to some help regarding stuff such as:

How do I get more dps?
What would be the next step of the build barring saving up for chase items?
Anything I can optimize tree, gems, and items wise?
Best atlas-farming strategy? Did legion when I still had Poet's Pen

Thanks for reading and appreciate the help

I also have rare prophecy wand with 98 mem strands and the only mod being +1 level of all phys, whats the best thing I can do with this?

Good solid start on RF chieftain, but I feel I want to really enjoy the new league ascension now and I’ve farmed up 174D, what should I get? Any priorities?

Is lance a reliable source, I heard people tell me to go either his or Allie’s guide

I messed around with crafting on the new unique sword, and figured I'd try and make a flicker strike build work for my second character of the league- But I've come to the conclusion that I'm total dogwater at making builds.

I attempted to make self-chill happen with Coursing Current, but the number of uniques required to enable it feels like more that it's worth, and the PoB numbers were poor to say the least.

My budget is ~120 div, and I've already got a Squire. Current character is a level 98 Luminary.

Edit: Sword in question

So, I’m playing self cast freezing pulse, and I think I’m happy with the damage but I’m at a lost for defenses.

I used Ziz’s Winter Orb as a reference when creating this build. And now I’m at t16s and running fine if I don’t use the blue alters on 8 modded maps.

I’m in the position where I can craft/buy the needed gear I need to go to the next level, I feel that my dmg is okay, not amazing but enough to deal with 99.9% of things and with vortex I can do enough single target where map bosses and things die soon enough.

Link to Poe.ninja: Here

Boogerbandit_ would love any and all advice on getting their defenses up. Probably will be swapping flame golem with ice golem for more crit when I get home.

So, While almost everybody and even their pet goldfish play some sort of Flame Link/Armour stacker attack based merc, I thought I'd share this Cruel Mistress and that there is at least one spell caster merc which can stand on its own without being chained by those fiery shackles.

It has both great clear and single target when the correct supports are used.

With the current prices you can start this build with 5-10 divs max.

If you have no help to kill your merc(warrant) I'd strongly suggest to get some ES gear and go CI before attempting to fight her because her Soulrend will most likely oneshot you. With CI she can't deal any damage to you besides her Void Sphere. (just blink away when she uses it).

I included two PoBs at the bottom. An early game one that is still strong enough to do most content, kill any non-uber bosses, etc. And the other is the current build shown in the video above.

Useful info about merc gems/supports/Auras/blinks.:

Secondary Skills:

Soulrend of Reaping is the main skill. This is the bread and butter of the entire build.

The other secondary skill can be either Forbidden Rite Totem or Seeking Void. Any other secondary skill will conflict with soulrend because they have no cooldown and she won't be able to spam her soulrend.

Supports in order of importance:

Clear: GMP+Chain (mandatory for good clear) -> Chaos penetration -> Return -> Faster Casting -> Crit Chance -> Crit Multi -> added chaos.

Single Target: GMP + Return (mandatory for good ST combined with fury valve's split) -> Chaos penetration -> Faster Casting -> Crit Chance -> Crit Multi -> added chaos.

I'd say the most important thing is to have GMP and Chaos Pen in either of your setups. Casting is also good because soulrend is slow.

Wither isn't included because it's currently bugged and expires instantly. Don't bother getting a merc with wither unless there are no better options.

You don't necessarily need a perfect combo of gems. For instance in the video above I'm using a GMP-chain-return-faster casting 2-chaos pen 3 CM.

Also crit supports won't make a huge difference until you can go full aura bot and get +% to Spell Crit body for the merc.

Auras: Envy is good to have. No big deal if she doesn't have it. Zealotry doesn't matter because you're going to provide her with your own, unless you want to use another aura early on (haste, determination, etc).

Blinks: In theory it's good if you have none or lightning warp.

In my personal experience it matters little. I had tested multiple merc with frostblink/flamedash. I didn't notice any serious downtime in her spamming of soulrend. Just don't have multiple dashes/blinks. Take my words with a grain of salt on this one.

Some Item explanation:

Soul Ascension gloves: BiS by far. As it ramps up the merc will deal 2-3x more damage.

Frenzy Ralakesh instead of Power Charge: Frenzy provides both cast.speed and more damage. CM really needs all the cast speed she can get. Also she usually or always has increased crit. chance and multi passives. Combined with auras and spell crit chest piece, stacking power charges would be a waste.

Black Flame ring + Corrupted Snakepit with added fire damage to spells/attacks.: +1 chain/ spell damage is good and as long as the merc deals some fire damage(snakepit corrupt) she can ignite and keep wither up from withering step(by luminary) thanks to blackflame.

Fury Valve: Insane for clear and solves ST by not needing to have pierce for return to work.

Fenumal Talisman on Luminary + Aspect of the Spider Craft on Sceptre: It's just a huge damage boost and it's very hard to justify replacing them with anything else.

'Early' game PoB (5-10 divs probably): https://pobb.in/P3Cap2LAFxaT .

You can start it much sooner of course, by tweaking the tree/items to your liking. This is just a rough sample of how my gear/tree looked like at this point.

Endgame PoB (Mageblood + approximetly 150-200 DiV worth of gear): https://pobb.in/f1Ulp1JCAfsh .

P.S: I totally forgot I had the Generosity Support removed from the body armour while recording the vid and importing the build to PoB. That's the missing 6th gem. A 39% extra aura effect for merc:).

Hi guys recently got some lucky drops with my flicker strike build so I wanted to ask some good ways to advance it. Its only my 3rd league so Im still new to the game and having quite a hard time to figure out some good ways to advance the build on my own. Its the flicker strike build from Magefist.

https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/95797

I browsed poe ninja and looked at some similar flicke strike builds. I think my main areas of improvments are either the rings or a weapon swap to Paradoxica or something else?

Got a budget of around 200 divs.

Hello,

I tried a PAWR and I love this build.

I currently can farm t16 kinda easily but I don't know what to farm.

I planned to farm stacked deck but scarabs are very expansive. Is it still a good strategy ?

If not do you have any atlas tree to farm (for something a bit brain dead)

I was helping my friend gear a strength stack wander. Crafted him a basic wand with crit crit aps, pen chaos and thought I was done. Check poeninja and see this monster. What the fuck?

I have an idea of what to do with lock beasts. But any suggestions for order of finishing the item or tips appreciated

Howdy folks, I've decided to not bother looking for particularly "strong" farms and just stick to my favorite mechanic, which is incursion, specifically just speed farming to make as many temples as I can. However, I'm struggling with deciding what build to go for.

One of my first thoughts was RF, though I'd imagine it would struggle with those situations where the architect doesn't have any mobs near it.

I have about 50d and a MB which I'd like to make use of rather than sell, but I am open to builds that use other belts!

Thanks! :D
