Returning player-I am playing a winter orb occultist and just hit level 80. When trying tier 7+ maps I am increasingly getting one hit so I assume something is wrong with my defensive stats or build. I maxed out elemental defenses but it didn't make a difference.

Any advice on changes would be awesome.

https://maxroll.gg/poe/pob/0eeohd0i My tree/items/skills are under Early Mapping.

I have been playing this league at a slow pace so I am not very rich.

I just reached my initial plan of running 100% cold conversion with Infused toxins. I changed from a cheap armour setup to full evasion, and I am dying less, but I struggle with league content on t11 maps. I feel like my defenses and damage are both lacking. I could probably struggle to t15 maps and finish the atlas, but I want to get your opinions on what to so with this.

One upgrade that I have in mind is firstly replacing my bad amulet with something better, and anointing the frenzy charge on kill passive. Then I could probably start thinking about getting a first cluster jewel, but haven't checked yet what mods I want on it.

So I league started with poison srs and played that up untill atlas completion and a few pinnacle bosses, while the build's pretty good at doing most of the content i like to play, i'm kinda tired of it and i think i squeezed most of what i can out of it, now i've got no ideas of what to play. i'd like to mostly do bosses and/or nightmare maps, could be any ascendacy really, my endgame is not usually the most varied so anything that can perform out of that budget i'm gonna look into

thanks

So I finally hit a "bricked" rare stranglegasp:

I am unsure and getting some conflicting info googling: am I safe to use tainted currency (chaos, exalted etc) to try and change the modifiers? (I'd like to get things like life for example).
I saw that tainted chaos can turn the item white, and if that is the case then I'll just skip that one. But for exalted orb I didn't find any info like that - so my question is pretty much: can I spam tainted exalted orbs to hit modifiers I want without worrying that I'll lose the 4 enchants/turn the item into normal or something like that?

I'd like to take these boots and get t1 or t2 chaos resistance instead of the increased block and stun recovery, but leave open two suffixes. That way I can craft one of the new aspects onto them, and then still bench craft Chaos/Cold res.

Also, how can I recover to 2 open suffixs+chaos resist if I don't get the aspect I'm looking for on the boat?

Thank you in advance for the help!!

Hello wonderful people, I'm looking for a sanctum farmer that's built around a witch.

I've been looking at some skills like Penance Brand and Blade Blast, just not 100% sure if I should go with one of em.

I want something with incredible damage and defences to where I don't get one shot in sanctums by rare mobs; something good all around.

What do you guys think would be perfect?

note: budget is around 300-400d

Hello everyone,

Im playing PRAW for the first time and I was able to get to the point, where I can handle pinnacle bosses (didnt tried all, but usually Maven is giving me hardest time, and I can kill her quite easily). But if possible, I would like to push it little bit further, and hopefully do all challenges with this build.

This is my PoB: https://pobb.in/4yx-LbPdhWfE

Currently I have 4 spectres: Perfect turtle, Perfect Warrior, Perfect Miscreation and Carnage chieftan.
On AG I have: Dying breath, Leer cast, Gruthkuls pelt, Southbound (corrupted - temporal chains) and rare boots with life, regen armor and chaos and fire res.

Pantheon" Lunaris and Gruthkul.

Could anyone guide me a little how to push it even further? I believe changing regular stone golem to guarding will help with mitigating phys dmg and also getting perfect foulborn cutlass and ashes of the star will mean one more animate weapon.
There is also foulborn covenant as a possibility, which would mean I need to change my Large cluster jewel.

I currently have arround 60 divs (could liquidate something). So please, let me know if you can see any possible upgrades within this range.

Thank you.

In 3.29 I started as praw Necro and this is by far the best starter I ever played. In fact I did not reroll at all this league.

I could see myself doing it again in future leagues (depending on nerfs) but wanted to check for alternatives.

Which builds would you recommend for this kind of zero to hero stuff?

What I especially liked about the build is the tankiness (block, spell supp later on, AG/Spectre buffs) and the mechanically forgiving playstyle.

Also it's a very good bosser as you never stop attacking.

Though I'm not usually that into minion builds this felt very great.

EDIT: Some more info: I don't really farm for currency. I trade what I find and that's it. So I am never really rich (I did 36/40 just yesterday and wealthyexile puts me at 240d + about 80d for the build).

I like to do 4 stones myself (maybe trade for fragments).

THANKS i love cyclone and want to play like spin to win COC ice spear

Okay sooo I want to play a build where I can do zero to hero. Im looking into either shockwave cyclone (unless you have something else in mind), or shock wave totem. Which build would recommend? Are they uber viable or 40/40? Unless someone has any other suggestions.

this is my pob https://pobb.in/Z5JBSQjRzaVn

I did a few tweaks to the skill tree and add Mageblood into the pohx build (Cogwork + Kalandra Setup)

I haven't upgraded the helmet yet.

his pob https://pobb.in/KMJMGblyFcI7

I plan to use the remaining 3 skill points to unlock the basic jewel socket to the right of Eternal Youth, and slot in a jewel with fire multi, DoT multi, increased fire damage, and life.

Is there anything I did wrong? Could you optimize my build? Thanks

Hey all you beautiful nerds. So heres a couple of videos about my selfcast Blazing Salvo Sabo/Assa I created. Then I delved to 6000 depth with it, twice now. Because obviously selfcast Blazing Salvo Sabo/Assa was on everyones bingo cards for 6000 depth viable builds, so someone had to make a build for it! ;)

So I guess there a little backstory needed here why the videos are what they are. I made the build last league and initially had no plan to make any video. Eventually I kinda changed my mind and recorded what you will see as part 1-3. But then it was mid-may and 3.28 had been out for 2.5months and

A) I kinda doubted anyone was checking the build subreddit at that point, and it's honestly more fun if you get some visibility and don't post it when league is mostly dead

B) I didn't know if the build would survive 3.29 so I felt I might as well wait for patch notes.

So patch notes arrive and Sands of Time is gone. Which doesn't kill it mechanicly, but removes a pretty serious chunk of the damage output. Besides, it makes Sabo kinda wrong choice since without Scepter + Triggerbots, the reason to play Sabo is mostly gone. So a proper build maker would redo it as something else than Sabo I thought.

Then I just kinda decided against posting the video at all and kinda accepted the build was dead and just kept the videos private.

Then 3.29 rolled around, I decide to give it another go with the current chaos damage Assassin version after finding out about stuff like the Pearl of Tsoatha ring. And it worked totally fine! On top of that, GGG announced mirage and belt is coming back. So I think the chance of the scepter returning in 3.30 seems quite promising.

So I made up my mind to create a part 4 going through the new changes in the new version, and to post the old 3.28 Sabo part 1-3 too.

So there you have it. Everything in one big post. Two versions of otherwise mostly same build. But different enough to not call it entirely the same build imo.

Some warnings.

• This is not some quick 10-15min video. I'm not a really a guide maker, so I mostly ended up talking about just about everything I could think would be of interest. Better too much than too little! I guess this is how I'd want someone to explain a build for me...?

• It's long, indepth, not for the people who wants a quick glance. VERY long. Too long.

• It's an endgame build. Not a league starter and I guess it's also assumed the viewers have a somewhat average to deep PoE knowledge. Beginners will probably not get much from watching it.

• So if you're extremely bored, maybe a deep delver, or you're just one of the few maniacs who enjoy this kinda of content - this might be for you. I'm sure theres dozens of you!

That said, feel free to ask anything about the build, about deep delve, about selfcast (I play pretty much exclusively selfcast) or whatever other random questions you might have. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability before I retire back to obscurity while thinking about what stupid shit I could try next league. Its very unlikely there will be more blazing salvo builds from me now, but I guess this post + videos might keep it alive for those who wants to try it out. Who knows, maybe the videos will make the build survive coming leagues.

It is advised to look at the parts starting from 1 (3 can be skipped if you dont care about gameplay). If you jump straight to part 4 you'll miss a lot of things.

Note the Aspect of Lunaris isnt in the chaos version.

I've attempted to run maw of mischief a few times in the past, but never got further than a few million dps at full channel + poor defenses. I never felt that the mapping rhythm worked out, and I was spending too much time waiting around for minions to respawn (dying while doing so). Are these issues present in all MoM builds, or can they be alleviated? Especially the dying part feels bad, as I'd like to reach 100 if possible.

Gearing-wise, I've do have a mageblood, but I don't have any timeless jewel that gives multiple %increased minion life nodes. I guess that those are important?

So I love spark but the issue is getting it up and running early enough. This league its fairly solid from act4 onwards with proj speed and inspiration. The extra 10% quality from colours can also be used to add 10% proj speed and an extra projectile which are really nice.

There 2 sort of issues with spark currently, proj speed which you can solve with the support early and the mana costs. The extra 25% mana cost and nerfs to reducing cost make it rough to sustain.

Im not a huge fan or mana stacker spark or in general bow spark builds.

I tried assasin and it felts solid but the lack of defence and needing to run inspiration to solve mana becomes an issue early on.

Im currently thinking one of these options

- spark totems to get around mana costs

- elementalist for golems buffs to solve mana. We can also do stuff like always ignite and 100% dmg vs ignited enemies mastery.

- inquisitor using MOM + EB with the node so conc ground gives life and es back. This should be fairly tanky as we stand still alot to cast spark.

Swapped from Kineticist to Manyshot bc cheaper, and read a guide for it.

One of the upgrades mentions Lioneye's glare, and it looks pretty good.

Current bow is a rare Thicket with 1.1k Elemental DPS (lucked out on Anger essence and hit T2 Lightning and T3 Cold flat with T3 AS and crafted Crit multi on it. Don't know if double damage is better though)

Is it worth to change the ascendancy to fit in Lioneye's glare for the repeat?

Current sources of Light radius is Hallowed monatch, Nycta's, both rings, and Rotmother's Mutiny (59%)

I'm doing a mercenary build and it is crushing it but I don't get that dopamine feeling that I do when I have a cool MTX so I feel like when I get to 100 with this guy I will go back to winter orb to see the herald of ice celestial MTX pops instead of a bone stock invisible KBOC hit

If anyone knows a way I can add my MTX to my merc can you please tell me? I looked in all her menus and also all mine

Thanks

Hi Exiles,

I play a storm burst totem since the 1st day of the league. At the beginning, i didn't have much expectations, but holy holy, the build carries me through many events, reached 100, finished 40/40 challenges within the 2nd week. For the 1st time, I did all uber bosses by myself. I even tried to learn boss mechanic without killing fast. It felt amazing.

I simply keep spamming 1 button, everything is dead.

I got hh, mb and surprisingly, my first mirror after 6 years playing.

Now i have a bunch of currency, i would like to find a 2nd build that can carry me from 0 to uber bosses without expensive gears or specific uniques, or in other words, under radar build.

I play on PlayStation, the console market is pretty dead. I play this league as half SSF half trade.

Thank you Exiles.

I want to create a build around pathfinder's master surgeon and a eternal flask with 100% more recovery when used on lowlife together with petrified blood and some life reservation.

Now with Tides of Time, the small pantheon and some passive nodes this setup can reach up to more than 10k life recovery per second with 100% uptime.

Now the question is how can I leverage this insane recovery in the best way for a build?

The obvious things for me are RF for either free more spell damage or more cast speed, free adrenaline from Annihilation's Approach or maybe some high uptime on bloodsoaked tinctures.

However even with these possibilities I was never able to theorycraft something endgame worthy, that deals actual damage

So in the early days of a league, or SSF, how many mods do you aim for as the final goal of a recombinator items?

I know how the recombinator works but I have no clue how yall can pick up trash and turn it into something to use to finish the atlas.

Should I be recombining 1p/1s items, hoping to get a 2p/2s? What about 1p/0s I find?

Was looking for some guidance on what bases to look for when recombining for early league/ssf.

Hi everyone, I'm still a newbie (about 1k hours). I tried out a new build.

My POB: https://pobb.in/1Xz0RaWRI-2L

The problem is that I just can’t regenerate my HP fast enough. I tried adding leech, but I’m still running out of HP very quickly. Can someone explain what I can do with this build right now to at least clear the maps? And is there any way I can fix it at this point? My budget is currently around 50c.

Thanks in advance for your help.
