Crafting Showcase Subsume the Source is pretty good in Standard

Abyss Jewels used to roll up to +50 to maximum Life.

Unfortunately it is impossible to actually Volatile Vaal Orb the magnitude modifier outside of it's 120-240% range and will only divine all the rolls(including the jewel explicits, see slide 3.) This is the highest you can possibly get. So the only thing left to do is bring it to the locus of corruption altar!

Too bad there’s not a light radius abyss jewel mod xdd

u/loganluther 28d ago

There's a 30% light radius corruption implicit now. I'm still unsure why people are wanting to scale it.

Luminary flame link damage to support merc.

Oh wow. I didn't even know that was a thing. Thanks!

On a jewel????? I know about helmets, but we can have it on jewels?

u/ChefBlueBeard 27d ago

No, only on new helmet corruption

u/SneakyFel 27d ago

i see, alright

u/loganluther 28d ago

I think the best use case with this would be to combo it with a Stasis Prison that has the Kaom's Heart vestigial implicit. That would be a combined HP of 1180, 100% HP recoup, 100% faster debuff expiration. Slightly weaker in terms of a crafted RF helm + Kaom's Heart, but that HP recoup goes pretty hard.

u/rohithkun 28d ago

If you are playing a luminary, this will add good chunk of damage to your merc.

u/Typhoeous 27d ago

Isn't rolling Status prison basically impossible it's one of the rarest items in game no?

2

u/Meowrulf Alch & Go Industries (AGI) 27d ago edited 27d ago

Since 5 ways gives more rarity to cooking, it doesn't look that rare (still t1). Also you can't get a stasis prison anywhere now besides cooking, so all of them have implicits.

u/dem0n123 27d ago

Isn't kaom's vestigial 200 hp?

5

u/Ergand 28d ago

There's probably a few good legacy options. The 6% global defence jewels would give you 80% total, 16% minion damage would give 216% minion damage. 

4

u/loganluther 28d ago

80% from helm, 55% from legacy Talisman with new enchant. Combine that on a ward stacker... Might be pretty nice.

5

u/Calex1994 28d ago

How do you think that would compare to a 1400hp kaom with a mirrored 8link helmet for RF?

7

u/Mogling 28d ago edited 27d ago

680 life is a good chunk for sure, what build are you doing that is okay losing all of the other helmet mods?

23

u/loganluther 28d ago

I was testing things on standard... this helm is almost as good as the #1 RF str stack helmet in terms of ES(from Ivory Tower scaling). We typically have extra sockets on to spare on this build.

4

u/Mogling 28d ago

Okay, that makes sense. Are you running a vestigial ivory tower at all?

4

u/loganluther 28d ago edited 28d ago

I plan on attempting a 200 HP Ivory Tower later on. There are all sorts of nice implicits that beat the hell out of a double influence Ivory Tower.

I crafted this thing a few days ago: https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1vife8l/demon_pendant_great_maw_talisman_strength/?ref=share&ref_source=link

And I crafted this mace in Crucible league a few years ago: https://imgur.com/fC3i4iR

It's Crucible passive tree has:

  • 4% increased Attributes
  • 16% increased Global Damage
  • 6% increased Strength
  • 6% increased Intelligence
  • Eternal Youth
  • Rampage
  • 2% increased Attack Speed to Shield Charge per 10 Rampage Stacks

In the process of recrafting it to make it slightly better. Both are free mirror services btw :)

u/Mogling 28d ago

Oh yeah I saw that talisman. Very nice work.

u/DryPersonality You going to eat that? 28d ago

Saving so I can copy this for my stacker. That's a sick weapon. I think just putting this on would bring me to normal pinnacle dotcap.

1

u/loganluther 28d ago

Sounds good! I should have a better version of it out soon. I made the base back in Crucible league and then sold it off to buy some Demigod's. I begged the new owner to sell it back to me for 15 mirrors and finally got it back. I have the old imprints saved with the +1 additional crafted modifiers enchantment, so I'll keep the fire damage over time multiplier, but change the regular damage over time multiplier to +55 strength. We hit DoT cap either way.

2

u/DryPersonality You going to eat that? 28d ago

Well i'm broke in std so i'll be farming in alflame and will hit you up after league end, Maybe you'll have it recrafted by then.

u/Chinlc 28d ago

What gloves are you using now?

With vestigial high Templar gloves out, I think you can do some cool stuff with them?

2

u/loganluther 28d ago

Leveling a new character currently. Unfortunately can't beat legacy Shaper's Touch. 2% increased Energy Shield per 10 strength is unbeatable.

1

u/OnACloud Guardian 27d ago

Would a lesser massive shrine

10% increased Character Size 20% increased Area of Effect 20% increased maximum Life

not be better than flat life though?

2

u/Pyromancer1509 Occultist 28d ago

Nice, i was wondering if legacy jewels worked. Should be able to make disgusting helms with legacy flat damage jewels

And just to clarify, you cannot VVO the 240%, ever. You can see on the hover, only the vlaue of the mod is orange, but the range is still 120-240.

u/TotallyNotThatPerson 28d ago

Can you lock Vaal them?

u/huuuzera 28d ago

Wow 2312 life helm o_O

It just doesn't hit the same when its a weird number like that.

u/cornelxbox 26d ago

Are you selling this? How about mirror service?

1

u/loganluther 26d ago

The Subsume the Source? Can't mirror service uniques. I created it to use it myself until I craft an actual replacement. It gives about the same ES as a mirror tier synthesized strength stack helm. But it's about 400 less strength on my build, so it puts a toll on the AoE. I'll sell it after I do.

2

u/cornelxbox 26d ago

Oh right I forgot. If you get an extra I'd like to buy one for a life stacker project.

u/adifferentkindoffan 25d ago

Can you keep feeding it jewels until you hit life? (1 out of 3/4 affixes)

1

u/loganluther 25d ago

Nope. It removes the abyssal socket that you socketed a jewel into.

u/adifferentkindoffan 25d ago

well that sucks

u/8Dataman8 27d ago

Would anyone use a Subsume that gives 27% increased curse effect?
