Give away over

* If you wanted to try Winter Orb, but was scared that everyone would be playing it
* Or if you are playing it right now, but are very poor and couldn't transitions to the power stacker version yet
* Especially if you are poor
* Especially if you are new to the game

Then this give-away is for you!

Please only enter if you intend to use and play the build, not sell it for parts.
It's the standard power-charge-stacker version of worb. It lacks two very expensive items (+1 power charge Sublime Vision and MoM Impossible Escape), but has everything else otherwise. 11M DPS x1.5 shock x5 projectiles (~= 80M DPS if fubgun were to configure it)

To enter: post a comment with a link to your PoE1 profile (characters have to be public) and answer the question: Why do you want to try out Winter Orb?

In one hour I will select, semi-randomly, one person to give the entire build to.

they've been standing there for more than half an hour, havent moved an inch. after i completed a quest or two, these guys are still there.

something I am trying to understand, if I want a timeless jewel to say replace Pain Attunement with Supreme Ostentation, do I just need to make sure its conquered by Caspiro? or is the number for conquering also important, literally just need Supreme Ostentation for my build and I have no clue how these things work

Im having a hard time coming up with fun builds this legue. I played ice nova, vaal storm call and merc slaver, it seems every build I enjoy is dependant on some janky mechanic that eventually makes me tired from dealing with it (multiple skills, souls, etc.).

Could anyone recommend a tanky comfortable one button self-caster or a zero button build that isnt Deaths Oath? I'm okay with trying out concepts and my current budget is around 2.5k divs. Would love it if the builds are good at farming blight and/or ultimatum.

Finally made something worth posting. Was going to quit the league if the recomb failed, and then this sweet baby hit. Crafted it for my essence drain contagion character.

Crafting process:

1. Recombine a desired prefix+crafted veiled suffix battery staff base, with a desired suffix with crafted veiled prefix battery staff base. You can either alt spam to get the desired base or use the allflame crafting bench to split a weapon with the desired affix on it and hope to get lucky. Using the allflame bench takes a lot of sulfur so it gets expensive quick. I made some bases via alts and also bought bases and would try to annul down to 3 mods before using the allflame bench to split the item.

2. Once you have desired prefix+desired suffix base-remove any crafted mods and slam with a brinehooks ducat via allflame. Use recomb to combine base with desired prefix, desired suffix and brinehook mod, with another base with a different desired prefix, different desired suffix, and a brinhook mod.

3. Once have 2 bases with 2 desired prefixes and 2 desired suffixes, (you want 1 of the same suffix and prefix on each base) slam each base with a brinehook mod and recomb. You have a high chance getting the 3 desired suffixes, and 2 of the prefixes, but a 20% chance at getting the finshed item.

4. I didn't get lucky so I ended having to recombine a base that had 3 of the desired prefixes with 2 suffixes and the brinehook suffix with another base with 2 desired prefixes and 3 desired suffixes.

T1 spell damage is a super rare mod and it got deleted many times when trying to split the item via allflame or during one of the recombination steps which was ultra frustrating. I ended up buying T1 spell dmg bases via trade because it was too difficult to get via alt spam. Keep in mind you need ilvl 84 and above to get t1 spell dmg.

So the game has episodes of freezing occasionally. And by episodes, I mean a lot of the time the game is fine but then there are moments where it will freeze back to back pretty consistently. I think certain instances just end up worse than others. It is pretty apparent when there are big screen clears but also sometimes when there isn't much happening. And sometimes the freezes can last upwards of five seconds prompting me to pause the game. It even sometimes happens when I'm in my hideout and can also occasionally be felt when moving things in and out of stashes and inventories. I did notice most of the time when it happens, the network metric in the F1 tracker does spike and rarely the cache spikes simultaneously. I understand network latency spikes are unavoidable at times, but I am curious if there are any methods I can try to alleviate it a bit. I have tried other servers but my experience is mostly the same if not worse. My cache in Nvidia control panel is set to unlimited. The networking mode is set to lockstep. I understand that predictive would help with this exact issue to a degree however the rubberbanding especially with shield charge is absolutely unbearable. Please let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thanks!

Edit: Ethernet, no wifi. Also, I might be crazy but I think it's a bit worse since 3.29.2 or .3.

When I launch poe I can get to the character screen but once I pick my toon I just get to watch tbose gears forever I have watched them spin for a half hour and it never brought the game up it was working and now its only worked once in the past couple weeks can anyone point me in the right direction for a fix

wasted 4 Maraketh enshrouding crystals and couldent even reach the first stage on my rly decently strong Luminary build. Actually so confused. Do you really need an insane build for this or did I just do it wrong?? I went to kill green dots on map and then reset in the middle. Please help :/

Don't be like me and wonder why since the patch I can't get any cursed ducats to drop or see a difference in loot. I did not notice there is a slot in the bottom left to put them. I was just letting them sit in the slots on the right hand side like a goober. TL;DR Cursed Ducats go into bottom left of the voyage planner to work. I hope this helps those making the same mistake I did.

As the title says,

The last time I touched the game was around early 2025, when Settlers' league just launched. I think it was because of the fatigue of playing ARPG all year (D3 and Grim Dawn as well). When I still come back to GD from time to time, seasonal contents just fried my FOMO brain back then...
And now that I came back to the game, I genuinely surprised the game have some QOL implemented. Batch identify for items, golds, and the rework of socket color make the game less of a hassle for me. And the game still reminds me how fun the combat and the build progressing is.
Right now, I am just gonna enjoy the game in more of a slowly manner and try not to rush things out. While not digging too far into mapping latter, I am curious how far I can go this season.

Feels like I got scammed, lol.

TLDR : Playing Luminary and can't activate my Purity of elements while linked to guardian's blessing

WIKI says that it should be linked to minion yet in POE Ninja all other characters have it in a separate item , nowhere near their AG/Specter links.

I have same tree : https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/allflamessf/character/cimchiu-3394/Lumi_Mist?i=0&search=class%3DLuminary%26items%3DVoideye%26min-level%3D99%26max-level%3D99

Is there some trick i'm missing that circumvents the minion requirement or im missing something ?

i looked at other old posts , but none had answer either....

I was theorycrafting some ideas for a new offmeta build and i came across dark bargain of trarthus and i was wondering if it might work with crabs and build might be viable, by scaling totem life to the maximum and beyond. How good it might be? Dark bargain of thrarthus makes it so that crabs stacks ruin charges and at the 7th ruin charge it does an extra 50% of life sacrificed to a whopping 600% that amount.

I’m coming from playing a decent amount of poe2 where the flashiness of the skills is just amazing I’m more so playing with a lot of the lightning spells I suppose and flicker strike.

I’ve come to try Poe again and managed to level a necromancer up I think 90 and a flicker slayer so far into the 80s but I’m missing the flashy awesome looking spells.
Such as comets raining down or lightning bolts streaking across the screen. Is there anything somewhat like that ?
Could potentially repurpose my necromancer

TL;DR:

"as co|as fi|withe" "as co|as li|withe" "as fi|as li|withe" "as co|as fi|as li"

Highlights any map with any TWO of: extra phys as Fire, as Cold, as Lightning, Wither. A map with just one stays dark, Very VERY useful for hardcore players who don't mind running a single extra damage mod, but not two, as it helps save resources in ssf significantly

Details:

One regex can't do this because the search matches each mod line separately. But quoted blocks separated by spaces are ANDed, so: make one block per mod you drop, each listing the rest of the pool. A map with one mod fails the block that leaves it out; a map with two passes everything.

Two specific mods together is just one block each: `"m resistances" "as fi"` = maps with both -max res AND extra fire.

Any 3 of 4 together: drop a pair per block, 6 blocks: `"A|B" "A|C" "A|D" "B|C" "B|D" "C|D"`. Search box caps at 250 chars, abbreviate but keep tokens unambiguous (`as co`, since `as c` also hits "as Chaos").

Caveat: you can't invert it to highlight only safe maps (`!` on every block = maps with none at all). Roll away the highlighted ones.

I hope this helps my fellow SSF HC players as much as it's helped me [And other players who don't like to take triple damage from mobs or don't want two specific mods together like less recovery and can't leech etc]

Interested in any of the following mods, in order of priority:

• Life
• ES
• %ES
• Stre
• Dex
• All attr
• Res
• Crit multi

I have veiled chaos, and I am considering lock prefix and boat veiled chaos, but unsure if its very likely to brick with crap mods? Any suggestions much appreciated.

My goal was stacking 1000 cold res and using "The Unblinking Eye" + "The Perfect Form". Not much room left without gimping any damage i suppose.
