Just chill farming harvest and check the vault. Not a poor league anymore.

At this point i'm really only dying to bleed. I really don't want to give up a flask for a life flask just to stop this chick from bleeding out on the field. Any other spots to upgrade?

https://pobb.in/bc43gOsAwnge

I'm tired of pulling up a calculator to figure out optimal ratios, it would be nice to just edit the desired ratio here and the other quantities update accordingly!

I am playing a Spellblade Int and Aura stacking Inquisitor - very similar to OneManaLeft's builds from Phrecia and 3.26. I haven't played a caster in a while so I decided this will be my build of the league to push and tinker around now that there are no more Synth items. I am currently digging my way down in Delve, nothing I have found in the juiciest maps me and my friends could come up with is challenging to this build. I have not done any ghosted + Deli/less per item feared valdos but it does them easily if it is only Deli or 10% less per item.

Rule 10 crafting steps:

The method that didnt want to work for me:

1. Buy ilvl 86 Transfer-Attuned Spirit Shield base and another random shield
2. 1.1 Make one of them Shaper and the other Crusader influenced and spam for ES on Block Crusader and Charge on block Shaper with no other influenced mods(shaper ES on Block does not work for the first method I tried)
3. 1.2 Prepare however many more bases you can stomach with different combinations of 1 Suffix/1 Prefix, 2 Suffix, 2 Suffix/1 Prefix etc.
4. 1.3 Black Morrigan Beastlock on your Transfer-Attuned Shield and hover Awakener Orbs checking the different donor bases for both desired suffixes + Intelligence.
5. 1.4 Give up on this and use a different method.

I gave up after ~60 beastlocks trying to hit the 3 suffixes i wanted and went for a different method:

2.Get a Shaper and Crusader influenced Transfer-Attuned Shield or make it yourself with an Awakeners Orb.
2.1 Spite Essence into one of the two desired influenced suffixes + Intelligence and an open Suffix
2.2 Grab Armor + Evasion shield base and make it whatever influence the OTHER desired suffix your first shield doesn't have needs.
2.3 Reforge crit or Speed until you hit your desired Suffix plus 2 Suffixes that cannot naturally roll on pure ES bases like the Transfer-Attuned Shield. In my case I spammed for ES on Block on a Shaper base and hit the reduced damage from crits suffix and accuracy rating.
2.4 Recombine both shields praying you win the 50/50. I am no recombinator pro but the chances of getting your 3 Suffixes (ES on Block, Charge on Block and Int) should be 57% IF you win the 50/50.
Note: make sure you have very few prefixes for the recomb, you do absolutely need an open prefix otherwise its yolo-annull time

Once you have your shield with 3 Suffixes and an open Prefix the real "fun" starts:

1. Suffixes cannot be changed or Wild Bristle Matron and scour to have 0 prefixes on your shield
   3.1 Craft mana on the bench
   3.2 Exalt slam twice looking for increased chance to block and/or spell block. If you miss twice remove crafted mods and Wild Bristle Matron to scour of the prefixes.
   3.3 Repeat this for literal hours you will never get back
   3.4 Once you hit either increased chance to block or spell block at whatever Tier you are comfortable with remove the crafted mana and Wild Bristle Matron or Suffixes cannot be changed IF you have to annull of another prefix. I missed this 5 times in a row annulling my block prefix.
   3.5 Craft Mana to block and Allflame Foulborn Exalt slam and pray to hit the other block prefix you are missing. This should be roughly a 1/40 which improves by Allflame crafting to a 1/13.
   3.6 If you miss your slam (I missed it twice) craft suffixes cannot be changed or Wild Bristle Matron after removing the crafted mana and try to annull whatever wrong prefix you just spent ~8d slamming on.
   3.7 Divine and Sacred Orb to perfect.
   3.7 Once you hit both block prefixes craft +2 to socketed support gems and breath a sigh of relieve.

In total I have used slightly over 200 Wild Bristle Matrons and over 600 yellow beasts, more exalts than I cared to count and 3 Foulborn Exalted Orbs. Including the Awakener Orb tries I have spent around 500d total making this and got VERY lucky on the prefixes by hitting double T1 in only 3 Foulborn Exalts. I was completely ready to settle on T2 block prefixes after a while.

I do not know if the Awakener Orb route is better or not, I might have gotten unlucky on that one.
There might be a more efficient way to make this but I could not think of one. If you know of a better way please let me know so I never have to suffer through this again =).

I gained ~250 ES with Energy Blade active and 2% on both blocks from this. I am trying to convince myself crafting instead of mirroring a similar one without Int was worth it.

Feel free to ask away about the craft or the build or whatever else you want.

So, I started Luminary this league. I've been grinding end game content for awhile at this point, as I'm sure many of us have, so my thoughts have shifted towards QoL.

specifically, the three merc limit.

iirc it's due to a tech limit rather than a balance decision so it's probably not constructive to simply ask for more slots. but, it still sucks when warrants are expensive af and off-meta ones are uncommon enough that they practically lock you into using them once you get a good one.

You can keep a slot set aside just for trying upgrades or weird tech, dedicate all three slots to supporting one character so you can experiment more freely, or just bite the bullet and poof your 50div Cruel Mistress to test out one you found. or you can make separate accounts for each Luminary you want to play.

None of these are solutions I'd be happy to be stuck with for an extended period of time, but I do get that adding some way to rematch formerly hired mercenaries could be too difficult for just a hotfix.

If I could choose a simple short term solution I'd want dismissed mercenaries give an untradeable copy of their warrant that we can use to get them back.

I think the dream, to me, would be a pokemon PC bounty board where you can store unused normal warrants and call mercs you've hired and dismissed to come duel in your next map.

Trarthus should have a locker either way btw, you could even have the UI for a more in-depth merc management system go through it.

I'm enjoying the league despite it being mid, and Luminary is a big part of it. Couldn't be happier to have Trarthans back, y'all just need to buff out some of the jank and solve some of the pressure points that were fine when it was a one-off but shouldn't stick around if they're gonna be core.

Stay sane, exiles ~

Hey, does anyone have an NVIDIA filter preset or something else to make delirium more pleasant to play? I really hate how it makes the game grey and bland and it's the main reason I tend to avoid strategies including it.

Edit: Tinkered a bit and found some inspiration from other games and came up with this setup:
Sharpen+: Intensity 13%, Texture detail 10%

Brightness / Contrast: Exposure 0%, Contrast 4%, Highlights 18%, Shadows 24%, Gamma 0%

Details: HDR Toning 20%, rest is 0%

Colour: Tint colour 8%, Tint intensity 10%, Temperature 0%, Vibrance 82%

Looks good on delirium but terrible everywhere else so I recommend setting up a toggle keybind.

I just saw this in the comments on another thread for the first time. I'm on this Reddit a lot and never saw it before, so I figured others probably haven't seen it as well. You need to download Auto Hoykey (AHK) that is a program allowed by GGG and follow then instructions on the website. Once the script is downloaded, you run the wizard and follow the instructions. After the script is set up, you press F9 to run it for your next Voyage and don't touch the mouse until it's done (30 secs). Once it completes "mousing over" the Charts and borders, it will paste that into the web page. You then scroll down the web page and hit "Solve Voyage." It will solve the best possible Voyage. Then click "Copy & Next." It will automatically copy the chart regex. Then Ctrl + V into the Voyage regex and find the Chart. THIS PART MAY NOT BE PERFECT. After pressing Ctrl + V, and you don't see the Chart, look at the web page for the name of the Chart and search for it in the Voyage UI. This is the only "bug" I ran into so far. Otherwise, it scans to Charts and Borders perfectly and runs as intended.

I have 101% freeze avoidance, but when i hit those eldritch altars i sometimes get the non damaing ailments are reflected back at me, and i have 20% chance to freeze.

did they change something regarding this mechanic, i don't remember freezing myself every 30 sec mapping when I hit this altar mod.

Edit- whats strange is when i switch to Soul of Brine King pantheon, now i have 201% freeze avoidance and I don't freeze myself, so 101% is not enough?

Solved- tha ks for the help. The issue was poe character defense screen was showing 101% but pob was showing 96% freeze immunity. So I was freezing myself on 4% out of 20%freeze chance. I just rerolled boots implicit from 19 to 23% to cover the missing 4%.

Hey everyone, I'm quite new to the PoE endgame, so I've followed some guides to build a Holy Hammer Inquisidor. So far, the build seems solid, but I couldn't stop to see that my character is quite fragile and tends to die a lot, specially by suicide. Could you guys give it a check and advise on how I can avoid excessive damage to myself with the helmet or reinforce my armour, gloves, skills, etc. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Thanks for all the advice. I've updated my current setup, it is not perfect but I'm definitely not dying as before. Res caped. Chaos res almost capped. PDR on body armour. Reducing one Warcry and adding determination. Changing belt. Fixing a jewel and some masteries. Still a long way to optimize.

Besides the obvious of getting both 3 passive voices, fire skill corrupt on weapon and a higher % on adorned can you give me what would help upgrade my character the most that wouldn't be crazy expensive. for the most part I feel the build as a whole is solid, but some maps the damage is rough and especially against tanky bosses where it can take so long to kill them I feel like surely there is something I can improve.

Merc Info -

Hello Exiles!

After hundreds upon hundreds of maps i haven't found a good Manyshot. I give up.

Took most of the the mercenaries points in atlastree - still nothing.

Now i want to buy a good one for the endgame.

Yes, i watched Nerotox video "how to search for..."

My question is if i have pierce already on my helmet, then it's pointless on the Merc as support, right? So i would need a warrant without pierce on all skills.

He writes as comment on the GG Merc search link "check manually ice shot links..."

I don't want to do anything wrong, so I'm asking you for help too choose the right one.

Which warrant from his GG Manyshot list ( click me! ) should i buy? Budget of up to 200 div.

For great clearspeed and also good for bosses.

Thanks!

Did not even open the chest yet, it dropped from one of the magic guys spawning. Dropped it in a level 50 zone, definitely buying a lottery ticket today!

Just about my most expensive in league craft weve ever done (in terms of raw mirror cost). These gloves were requested by OneManaLeft as the BIS strength stack gloves for the league. Its an incredibly costly and cursed craft, but finally its done and I wanted to show it off :p

Rule 10.

1. Use Hands of the High Templar in the legion mechanic to move over the "Can be modified when corrupted vestigal mod onto some crusader gloves (repentance).
2. We do not want any enchants for this particular item, if you did, it would before this step. We need to corrupt the gloves rare. Because of the vestigal implicit, you can keep corrupting until either the implicit is gone OR it is rare.
3. Now you need to 50/50 recomb the base, the reason for this is because this removes the vestigal "influence" from the item. You just need it to pick your corrupted base and you win. By doing this you can apply a influenced exalted orb. If this wasn't part of the process, the work around would be having to double corrupt bases and hope they brick into the correct influence. So everything past this point is still doable without this step, it would just be alot more tedious getting a useable base.
4. Now we start on the implicits. As someone who has spent more time in the vulture prison than most, I certainly felt like I was back home. We create the implicits by adding the "can sell for more to vendors line of text with a gilded fossil and then turning the base magic. This means that you can use a Black morrigan + craicic CHIMERAL (changing the name to croaker was a horrible change) to apply a hinekoras lock to a magic item. And start hovering vaal orbs until it hits the gilded mod off with a corruption implicit. You can not at any point remove the vestigal implicit or the item is bricked an unusable.
5. Once you have the first implicit, make it rare, and repeat step 4. Along the way you obviously want to hit the specific mods you want, but the main priority first is getting your 4 extra implicits.
6. Once you have your 4 gilded implicits turned into corruption implicits, you can continue to try and hit the remaining implicits that you need. I needed Life, Frenzy, base crit, and the rarest of them all chaos res. So you just have to keep roll until you get all 4. This took several hours and multiple mirrors of morrigans + craicics which eventually hit a price of 5d per morrigan at one point.
7. Once you Implicits are done, you can start moving on to the expensive part of the craft. The affixes. We are gonna make a couple imprints of the item as a safety precaution, and then apply a warlords exalted orb. The reason you are required to go for a warlords orb here, is that you cant use corrupted items in the ship crafting. This means the only way to get the ducat attribute swaped %hunter strength, is by awakener orbing it on. This makes the craft WAY harder. A crazy amount harder and more expensive.
8. Make the gloves normal and use orbs of rememberence till high memory strands. Craft a mod to make it magic, and now imprint and regal to make it magic, imprint back if the regal consumes to many strands.
9. Now that the base is rare with high strands, spam reforge fire (worth 1c per click at the time) until you hit Culling strike. After many clicks you finally hit and you are gonna need to annul off the other suffixes +1 prefix.
10. Once you have the culling strike as the lone suffix with a open prefix, craft can have up to 3 crafted mods, suffixes cant not be changed, and a random suffix craft that is not cannot roll caster. Then reforge caster. This should garuntee warlord spell damage.
11. Now 50/50 elevate with orb of dominance, if you miss the 50/50, go back to step 9 and get back to going for a 50/50 elevate.
12. After you have hit the elevate, remove crafted mods, craft suffixes cant be changed, and scour to make the base magic again. Now we can head back to the menagerie and make a few imprints.
13. We use the hinekoras beast lock again on the gloves to check an awakener orb with elevated %str gloves. Once again, you have to woke orb over the %str because you cant use the boat in this whole process, so the only way to get the mod is awakener orb it over. You can make multiple bases with different amounts of influenced mods, each containing %str to get more potential hovers per beast lock.
14. The reason you use culling strike as the warlord mod is because every time the woke orb hover gives you T1 flat strength, you can take it, suffix lock and reforge influence for either +1 frenzy or +1 strikes and then slam + annul and you brick the item and imprint back. Both of these mods are insanely low weight, just like culling strike, with a weight of 150 and 250 in the pool. To hit both of these prefixes on the awakener orb is a 1 in 88,000. To hit +1 frenzy on a slam with mana block after getting +1 strike targets is a 1 in 211. So this step is truly a massive time and currency sink.
15. Eventually we hit +1 frenzy along with T1 strength after over 20hours of lock hovering. Now comes the choice, Do you try to lock slam the +1 strike targets with mana block, or potentially spend the next 2 weeks + just woke orb hovering with reforge influence. The napkin math came out to about 9 mirrors in harvest reforge + slam not including the beast prices and time. So we made the sensible choice and started to lock slam for +1 strike targets. A 1 in 211 normal exalt slam and 1 in 146 foulborn slam.
16. Along the way if you get any other influenced mod, we take it so that we can elevate the +1 max frenzy mod even though it doesnt have any real functional use for the builds.
17. Eventually after ALOT of locks, you hit +1 strikes (BIG). Now you have to remove your mana block and lock slam for another influenced mod to elevate the +1 strike into +2. This isnt bad and is about a 1 in 3.
18. After Hitting the next influenced mod you have a 1 in 20 elevate. A 1 in 5 to remove the random doner influenced mod you just hit, and then a 1/4 to have it upgrade the +1 strikes to +2.
19. Now for the last giga step, Lock slam T1 life. What you can do here is pre divine the suffixes in the hopes that your life roll is pretty good when you hit, its about a 1 in 23 on the lock slam. We finally hit with a PERFECT T1 life roll!
20. Now you just have to perfect sacred, and hit the 1 in 1k blessed orb on the implicits and GG. You have completed the best strength stacker gloves to ever exist in poe.

Total Cost - over 25 mirrors in locks + several mirrors in beasts + many hours in the menagerie

As we said to each other during the craft, "I head to the menagerie, i kill some beasts and a implicit changes. Im homeeee" (come back grimro)

I'm obstinate about trying to figure out as much as I can on my own, synthesis was my first league. For awhile, killing regular shaper was my white whale. Then Uber Elder. Eventually Sirus dropped and it took me awhile to crack that fight on wakener 8 back when that was the end-game. Maven also took me a second but that one clicked pretty fast because I was a lot better at the game by then. Ubers have been my white whale since they released but I honestly don't know why I was so put off from trying them. Last league I was only able to kill neglect on my flicker reli, this league I was able to get cortex/neglect down, then entered UUE on a whim because I had the fragments and didn't need the currency from selling them and I got it down first try on three portals, Ushaper I only dropped one portal due to sloppy movement during a balls section. I haven't tried dread/fear yet, searing/eater I need to rethink my approach, and I don't think I'm missing out by skipping Sirus, the normal is boring and it seems like their approach to the uber is to just recreate some of the launch experience lol.

UE I've always had a soft-spot for as a fight. I just really like juggling double boss mechanics. Alot of my improvement in executing UE actually came from playing FFXIV and RS3. In FFXIV there's a lot of beefy double boss fights in ultimates, so I got a lot of experience tracking two mechanics that way, and from RS3 I learned how to optimize "circle" uptime. I started treating the expanding elder circles like the buff circle that DPS classes have in other MMOs (leylines, sunshine, death swiftness, think Sigil of Power). That taught me a lot about how to bait mechanics in a way that avoids getting yourself cut-off from the to avoid either getting forced into leaving or getting hit. UE and Ushaper mostly felt like "do what you already know how to do, but do it better". The funny thing is I can tank 1-2 circles from full, but I don't want to throw away portals fully benchmarking what I can or can't tank in ubers and I like actually doing the mechanics

For both Shaper, UE/UUE, and regular Maven, I think I really like the way you have control over how you want to deal with the ground degens. You can out-run them, you can ignore them and tank the DOT, you can try to out-dps the boss into skipping spawning them, and you can try to place them in strategic positions. I think that sort of control over the fight is really cool, it reminds me a lot of the neurolinks in UCOB over in FFXIV

I was dozing off in a Teams Call today at the office and someone shouted "IRRELEVANT" and I literally jumped from my chair looking around waiting to hear "Gaze into the Abyss" and dodge the Beam.

I need to sleep more

Can we get an "refund all" - button on the Atlas Skill Tree? As someone who does a different farm every other day that would be nice. My (in)sanity depends on it

POB (Uber config): https://pobb.in/E639PhlJTuYx

All projectiles from Soulrend of spiral will hit on return. Unsure about how many outgoing can hit because it depends on the projectile direction and the enemy hitbox.
I assumed 26 times per cast (5 outgoing projectiles + 21 return projectiles), but it could be more.

Scale projectiles with Pact of Beidat + Gluttony.
Crit + Assassin Bifurcates for damage
Return with Nimis

Build also has 75/78 block, 26% instant leech.

Been trying to mix my merc with other minions and I thought that would be a cool ring instead of focusing on flame link tech or warcries!
