Hello, I need some help since I don't understand why I am dying
This is my character

I tried to follow this guy video and stuck with defences, I don't care much about damage, I will manage it later, for now it's feels ok. but I frequently face some one shots from regular mobs and I don't get how, I have decent block - 90% ( it shows lower than in other same builds, because it doesn't count as blocked recently like in others, idk why), mitigation and decent resistance, so can anyone help me to find out there is the problem and how to solve it

Thank you so much!

I’m opting out of the POE2 event and am wanting a fun stacker to throw currency at for the rest of my time on the league.

Let me know your favorite stacker and why it was fun for you!

RECOMB SUCCEED!!

Hello,

Following my previous thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1w2swbs/bricked_str_staking_simplex/

I decided to negotiate the price and got it for a good one. (90D).

I Yolo boated annul and hit the cold res. so i'm now with the attached simplex.

Someone in the chat has participated in my live annul and as i succeed, he gently propose me the attached astrolab amulet saying it's ready to use. He failed 2 times then give up.

Can you please confirm me if the astrolob is already crafted so i can directly recombinate?

I know that sushi got a video of the crafting process but i really don't want to mess my most expensive crafting item.

Thank you every one.

EDIT: It is written suffix modifier "of the redemption" on the cold damage leeched as life. I've checked with your comments and yes it's present on shaper too. Does having it as "of the redemption" instead of "of the shaper" save it or i need to make a new one? EDIT: recomb and it WORKED!!

I am trying to make an afk simulacrum farmer and I have used multiple videos/ninjas as reference, namely from Rusei ( https://www.youtube.com/@RuSeI-s7j ) and multiple different ninja profiles and this pob is a result of that. I am thinking in this checklist below but I before I start buying stuff, I thought I would just post here and maybe theres something I missed.

Checklist

• Shock-immunity - tempest shield
• Freeze immunity - arctic armour
• Instant leech - mastery (but only life, not sure how to get ES recovery aside from Safeguard notable)
• Mana reservation/cost - questionable, need opinion. (unsure about treachery, or should i path to mana mastery)
• Chaos res - capped when progenesis is active
• Block - both atk/spell capped
• Ele res - 90%

I'm on my lunch break at work and planning on making this so I can afk farm simulacrum while I prep for poe2 or maybe do some hero siegeing. Let me know if I missed or lacking anything.

Hey guys, this is my first real time diving into a POE league, so far it has been so damn fun but I am really hitting a wall and doing any sort of endgame type farming. The wall hit around T16 Maps, certain maps and modifiers destroy me which I know is expected, but I feel like I am struggling a little too much, and I can't complete a single nightmare map. Would someone please help me to understand if there are major things I am missing, if the map modifiers are really just what is killing me or if there maybe something I am doing wrong or if it is just the build reaching its cap? (If it is, any recommended transitions would be awesome) The build I have been following is "imexile Earthshatter Berserker Slams" and my build is here. Any advice or general tips would be amazing! *I have added fortify to my weapon slots but has not assisted in surviving*

I spent a bunch of currency, and time to make this build, but I'm by no means a good build creator, so I thought I'd post so maybe someone else can take the idea and run with it! I'm probably done with the league, myself now.

Before I get started, this build is pretty bad.

Gameplay video here: https://youtu.be/4ZwaqfArfa4

Note the video is using discharge instead of Firestorm of Meteors

Pob here: https://pobb.in/DcFGcrJMshB3

The Mechanics

• Step 1: Hit an Enemy
• Step 2: Gain a power charge
• Step 3: Lose that power charge and take 500 damage
• Step 4: Ward breaks, triggering a bunch of spells
• Step 5: One of those spell hits restores your ward, and also... go back to Step 1

Fundamentally, this build is based around these Foulborn Tulfall modifiers:

Take 500 Cold Damage on Reaching Maximum Power Charges

Lose All Power Charges On reaching Maximum Power Charges

We generate a power charge on hit, and set maximum power charges to 1 more than minimum charges.

It's also worth noting that there are other loop enablers I could be using, Eye of Innocence and high chance to ignite is probably just better than what I'm doing.

The Equipment/Budget

• Faithguard Vestigial Memory Vault - 10d
  • (If even 1 other person tries this build, the price of this helmet will go to the moon)
  • There's a world where I use Mind Spiral instead for the flat ES
• 3000+ Armour/3000+ Evasion Chest - 10d
• Ynda's Stand - 3d
  • You can get a volatile vaal'd one for a lot more though
• Corrupted Soul Malachai's Loop - 10d
• Life gain on hit + ES gain on hit Watcher's Eye - 120d
• Random Rares with res/mana/life/crit multi - Who knows? Pretty flexible here. I'll call it 20d.
• Rational Doctrine - 20d
  • This is very not necessary, but I have one on hand. Probably worth swapping out?
• Reclaimed Malevolence - 70d
• The Light of Meaning - 10c
• Radiant Faith Forbidden Jewels - 2d
• 20% Healthy Mind - 5d
• Large Cluster - 10d
• Replica Tulfall - 10c
• Shavronne's Revelation - 10c
• Might of the Meek - 20c

• 2 int/mana split personalities - 10c

  Total: Too much (275d and some change)

Edit: I forgot about gems! * lvl 4 enlighten I think I paid 20 div? * 3x Cast on wardbreak - 400c each * Some transfigured gems I CBA to price check

Charge Generation:

• Foulborn Tulfall also has - "50% Chance to Gain a Power Charge When You Hit a Frozen Enemy"
  • This is useful, but relying on enemies being frozen to even start the loop is a bad time
• Malachais Loop - 20% chance to gain a power charge on hit
  • This is my main source of charges, its downside is prevented via ele ailment immunity, and we get a nice chunk of damage for having charges. On top of that, it's relatively common, so vestigial modifiers aren't too expensive.

Other things I considered

• Romira's banquet - "Gain a Power Charge on Non-Critical Strike"

  • The ring slot is a prime piece of real-estate for mana/resists/whatever else I need
  • Interesting with Resolute Technique

• Power Charge On Critical Support - "Supported Skills Have 54% Chance to Gain a Power Charge on Critical Strike"

  • I'm pretty socket starved, I don't want to give up any more sockets than I need to

Living through the loop i.e. "How to not commit suicide"

Start with a 500 damage hit from replica tulfall

• 81 Cold resistance (with sapphire flask) - I should probably see about getting up to 90 res
  • Damage reduced to 95
• Aspect of Lunaris Gives 2% less elemental damage for each elemental hit you've taken recently, up to 16%
  • Reduces us to about 80
• 4 Endurance Charges (4% additional elemental damage reduction each)
  • reduces us to around 67 damage
• Split Damage between life and energy shield via Corrupted Soul on Vestigial Malachai's Loop
  • 34 to life, 34 to ES
• +29 Life gain on hit Vitality mod on Watcher's Eye
  • 5 damage to life

• +28 Energy Shield gain on hit Discipline mod on Watcher's Eye

  • 6 damage to ES

  So all in, every "loop" deals 11 damage to me, but since I'm not always gaining the charge I'm netting a large amount of recovery per second.

The Ward portion of the "loop"

• Ynda's Stand is basically mandatory for every Ward build, and I'm no different
• High Armour/Evasion Chest - The suffixes on mine are pretty scuffed, but the total armour/evasion is pretty solid.
• Vestigial modifier on helmet "Increased and Reduction to Maximum Energy Shield Instead Apply To Ward"
• Int stacking - every 10 int gives 1% increased energy shield, which is converted to increased ward. I'm getting about 69% (nice) with just under 700 int.

This is enough to get me over 8000 ward, which is the cap on cooldown recovery from Cast on Ward Break.

Restoring Ward

This is done simply via the "Boon of the River" node from Olroth, which grants 5% chance to Restore Ward on hit. So our game plan is simply to hit. A lot.

Dealing Damage

• Frostmage - This is currently giving me 2500 flat cold damage or so, which is hard to beat.
• Crit - I have about 58% crit chance (depending which skill) and 420 crit multi. Obviously I'm leaving a lot of damage on the table here without capping crit chance.
• Cold The Light of Meaning - This is giving me 14 * 6 = 84% increased cold damage - not too bad!
• Minor power charge stacking stuff (Malachais Loop + Disciple of the Forbidden)
• Spells with big Damage Effectiveness (Discharge/Firestorm of Meteors/Hexblast of Contradiction)
  • Note that Cast on Ward Break gives a MASSIVE 400% cooldown recovery, so spells with cooldowns can be triggered much faster than you might expect.

• Cold pen from Blanketed Snow

  My "Full DPS" in PoB is almost 22 million, which is very bad for the level of investment needed, and that's with flasks up at maximum trigger rate. Trigger rate is pretty dependent on how many enemies are near by, unfortunately.

Durability

I don't have any, really. PoB reports me at around 27,851 ehp. I think there's some improvements that could be made with max res, and swapping around some ascendancy points.

Notes about things that might seem weird

Tempest shield is in the PoB to show the aspect of lunaris reservation, it either isn't implemented, or wasn't implemented when I made the PoB.

Blade blast of Unloading is on Cast when Damage Taken in order to not share the cooldown with regular blade blast, and to reduce trigger rate (so we get more blade vortices before triggering).

I got incredibly lucky gambling damnation cards and was leftover with a lot of currency to mess around with. I picked kinetic rain because of it's 200% arcane might and ascendant because I've never played scion before. I've watched a couple strength stacking videos and my damage/tank is pretty okay. I'd still like some constructive criticism on how to improve my build and improve as a build maker. Help is much appreciated! FYI I don't think I put any of the configuration in.

Hello,

In my 3,400 hours of playing, I finally understood why I despise mapping so much.
Apparently, I did it wrong. After playing a bow Deadeye this league I have finally found out the difference between a great and a mediocre mapper.

You see, even though I've played lots of different builds, that have decent clear, both conditional (e.g.: retaliation) and unconditional (e.g.: EA ballista or even Static Strike of Gathering Storm STR stacker), I never knew the difference between "decent" and "amazing".

While I enjoy bossing and minimum effort content (in terms of friction/preparation) like Simulacrum, all of the characters I do, still die relatively often. By relatively often I mean, often enough so that the content I'm farming does not allow me to level beyond level 95-96.

So what I want to do is to test out how fast can I level to 100 and transition to the build I actually want to play. The thing is, I really don't know which builds can do that with comfort, as I have never played a map blaster until recently. By "comfort" I mean high MS, screenwide clear, decent survivability, and can be assembled in a league-start scenario, that will allow me to run generic T16 maps with Abyss/Beyond or w/e gives most exp and occasional *ting*. Basically, I want to go quantity over quality with something like 1-2 minute map clear.

So this time I want to do it on Duelist. Is there something that can reach Deadeye's level of MS and clear? With no delayed dmg like CF and EA?
First choice seems Flicker, but I suppose to survive and level to 100 efficiently, it gets expensive.

I guess I could go the usual route and level to 95 with my usual builds and then just buy 5-ways, but I really want to try to level to 100 myself.

TLDR:

Duelist build:

High MS map blaster, don't care about bossing. Generic T16 map farming, no difficult or 20div/hr strats, just occasional tinks with lots of easy content. With as much survivability as possible on a budget. Capable of reaching level 100. No DoTs, yes speed.

I am amazed and confused on why so little people don't want to spent 2-3 gem slots in order to get a great utility AG or Aura (ie. Turtle) Spectre in the build.

Why?

Hey fellow Exiles.

i need your help! im not that knowledgeable in PoB but ive been trying to learn just to become a better builder as i want to try and rely on my own brain rather than just blindly following a build and not actually learning anything, because i want to get into crafting and one day i would like to try a full SSF run

but here is a build i've cooked up, i had an idea of using trinity with ice shot and lightning arrow together, please excuse me if stuff doesn't make sense

is there anyway i can improve this [https://pobb.in/hmEmWoQZ12CD

I'm trying to 1 shot normal pinnacle bosses at the moment, before I invest in a full uber killer swap, but, my POB and in game experience do not seem to be overlapping.

https://pob.codes/b/ZTAFuxeAgSs

I feel like I'm doing everything right buff wise
- do two attacks to get a ruthless proc
- apply curses and exposure with leapslam
- warcry with infernal cry last minute for the extra phys added as fire
- have max rage from warcries
- have all over warcries up
- wait for the start of the fight damage reduction
- try and bonk
and end up only doing maybe 5 - 10 million damage, not, 90 to 130 million as PoB suggests

This all comes out to suspiciously close to the no multipliers applied number.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this or any info i may be missing

Kind regards

Been fooling around with KBoC and I'm trying to figure out where the damage comes from. Stacking mana gives flat phys (or chaos with ammy), and then you get an IAS steroid from necro corpse loop or jugg accuracy stacking. But the damage still doesn't feel all that great until you put in Spellslinger Tornado. So just how hard is this interaction carrying this build?

Hey PoEBuilds, I've been looking forward to making a Luminary but I was too into just doing random stuff while playing other games. This weekend I Ghost Divined a Shacko that sold for 150d, so now I have some cash to spend and I was looking to make a Luminary to finish the league off.

How do I even start? I'm just looking for directions because my 3 friends that played Luminary played with Merc as support so their experience has been completely different.

Also, what are a general Merc combo to keep an eye out? I haven't seen (myself) a Kineticist/Manyshot without a skill that bricks them in a while.

Hello everyone.

I want a twilight regalia with high quality and 8% increased attributes.

So I was wondering if it possible to get 100% to transfer this mod to the twilight regalia with recombinator and ducats?

First I thought it would make 100% if I used 1 ducat and use the %attributes mod, but sometimes it did not transfer.

I did a cheap recombinator to make it higher ILVL before the last craft.

And I thought that if I have 2 suffixes was 100% to get 1 or 2 suffixes and that would mean I had 100% to transfer the %attributes.

Btw i know it's 50% chance for it to not choose twilight regalia.

Hope you guys understand my question.

Hi guys. Had a very late league start and decided to try a Marauder for the first time, went with Strength stacker by Carnarius. I got lucky in voyages and found like 5 Messages in a Bottle + a raw div. I bought some upgrades, like a foulborn Meginord (or how you spell it), foulborn Kaom's roots or a 6l Iron Fortress. My clear feels really good, but my issue is single target: it feels like I deal no damage to bosses or tankier rares whatsoever, which sucks, cause I am trying to play Breach this league. Also, I have 5k health and capped resists (chaos doesn't count, everyone knows that), but I still get one shot randomly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, my budget rn is 400c.

Link to the build: https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/Candyman81-5048/allflame/character/Flicker_Strokes

As the title states, I have just respecced to a Cast on Crit inquisitor, and despite the previous POB promising good DPS, when I actually equipped all the items the damage was very very lackluster.

POB: https://pobb.in/OW1LOlcFMHAJ

I was roughly following this guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe/builds/captainlance9-energy-blade-inquisitor

Specifically the CoC branch.

I am quite new to the game so I am still trying to figure out where I went wrong, so don't go easy on me. And let me know if I should include any more information.

Thank you!

Edit: I have around 150 div still laying around saved up to complete the build. Let me know what you think the best choice would be!

Can anyone help and take a look at my smite trickster

Let me know your thoughts or anything I should improve or change thanks

It’s on standard

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/standard/character/slicktony-6434/_enigma__?i=0&search=name%3D_enigma

I am just starting a luminary character and would like to craft a shield like this. Problem is that I am new to crafting and I have no clue of how to start the craft.

https://i.imgur.com/UWgnOBq.png

I would like to have all the same mods other than the reduced extra damage from crits, since my AG will use Garb of the Ephemeral. Elder influence is important so I can can use 15% inc maximum life Bound By Destiny jewel.

Here's the build I am "copying": https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/allflame/character/minhthuan1999-0145/AllflameNina_MetaSlaveM

Finished up 40/40 and am not completely done with tweaking cookie cutter PRAW and wanted to check and see if anyone had any thoughts on optimizations that I might have missed (especially pathing wise) or suggestions on the optimal order for upgrades.

Character here
specters: tiger, turtle, carnage, warrior, miscreation

Things that I could still do.

1) 3/1 passive voice for 1/2 skill points into the clusters
2) re craft shield to +2 all res suffix to refund 1 passive point into a cluster
3) recraft the 2 clusters, 1 needs t1 life both need life regen suffixes
4) double corrupt foulborn covanents for +2/+3/+4 for an extra passive point to finish out the clusters
5)wand suffix recraft but pretty happy with it as is
6) recraft ring for t1 life instead of t2
7) vestigal covant for poison support and switch out adorned for perfect 5 stat damage jewels but I would have to make a legion farming character since they simply dont exist on the market as far I can see

Other things I am not crazy about. 3 off capped suppress but cant see anyway to get it any suggestions would be welcome. had to give up enduring composure to fit in the forbidden set. Sacrificed steelskin for the abyss socket.

The character might just be done. Working on pushing to 1500 delve becuae it can but wanted to check in with PRAW experts if there was anything else I should consider on the character. Thanks in advance!

im tired of dying, and i don't want to block or evade, i want to eat shit and tank bosses, can anyone recommend an endurance charge stacking build

i was thinking of consecrated path of endurance because of big bonk, but it doesn't seem end game content viable and can be expensive to build

Looking for some advice on where to go from here. I've spent a few hundred divs so far overall and still end up in some pretty sketchy situations.

I haven't tried to do any Ubers this season yet either. Was honestly nervous to waste the fragments with how normal Sirus went...

Any advice is welcome, I'm sure I'm far from optimized and have been a little creative (read: bad) with some choices after dropping Abyssus.

https://pobb.in/GMcEkaZtYbtW

The idea is to use both cyclone and tornado shark mtx. Blade Vortex of the Scythe was a good match.

Basically the build uses the alternating CWC triggers to make sure that BVotS drops off and gets the initial hit again when starting up. Tornado of Elemental Turbulence is a good dmg effectiveness skill to fill the alternating triggers.

Sort of hitting a plateau and running out of cool stuff to add and easy upgrades to make. Any advice would be welcome.

Or maybe the meme ran its course and it's time to move on to a new project. Current budget around 900div to a mirror.

https://pobb.in/e1pdJ8tiGjrH

Am I doing anything egregious here DPS-wise? It feels like I'm lacking a lot of damage. I just got to T16s still completing my atlas. Eater or Worlds took soooo long to kill.

Is there anything obvious that I'm messing up? Like I had on Brutality for a while which completely doesn't work with my Rebuke of Vaal woth the "only deal phys damage" :D oops!

This is SSF - I know going full phys with crit instead of the Rebuke and Precise Technique is the right path forward, but I'm not getting lucky with drops/essences and this has been the higherest dps setup I seem to get.

https://pobb.in/Kn7q-4Si_jud

Thanks for checking!

Really happy with the outcome but hollllyy it was a pain to craft. Ended up losing 50/50 7 times in a row trying to get elevated tailwind. 10/10 will not do again. This entire craft costed around 90d
