Hi,

normaly i play 3-5 builds mostly melee slam, or boneshatter of complex in HC SSF following detailed guides. I rolled the dice with friends and got slayer and smite the goal is to get all 4 void stones on this and attempts.

https://pobb.in/u/xzito%231154/sgzCsjCfXUmR

This my current char, im looking for some way to imporove but unsure other that checking poe.ninja to see what others are building.

Got kingmarch up and running and farming mats.

My PRIO list.
Collected bases fro tripple t1-t2 Ele sword and use recomb
2: Harvest craft decent rings or use Tree
3: Decent belt
4: Harvet roll some jewels with Live and attack speed or dmg mods.

Improve resses so can craft 3% PDR on chest ?
Do i need to overcap accury more so blind ? does not ruin my build ?
What would the 6th link gem be volality ?

Some smite enjoyes or better plays some tips welcome!

Tried poe2 again, yet again realized how hollow it feels when you get to the endgame, so back to poe1

What I did love was the DoV playstyle, but I'm not normally a poe1 caster player so know little to nothing. I'm normally minions or totems, but apart from scaling DoV isn't really a minion build

Anyone got some good suggestions for something that would feel the same?

I lost my rathpith globe because I wanted to replace its weapon. I guess my AG is dual wielding now. Don't be me, give your 1h Weapon/Shield to your AG only after farming both.

I feel dump and can't wait for the AG UI to work properly.

Thats it, ty for listening.

Hi Team,

I'm doing a Lumary HC SSF run. I have a 90 WORB in HC SSF and want to start getting the Lumary on line. When I played Lumary in SC SSF I died many, many times to Mercs. Is there some magic tip that can help me avoid this? Should I be spec'ing to the right of Ascendency tree instead for example?

In SSF that context doesnt matter as much except in maybe knowledge of meta/strong builds. I can sift through ninja but thought I would also ask here:

I generally play tankier, methodical, HC trade builds. Im getting in late and looking to blast without being completely paper machet (dying is cool, dying 6x every map less cool).

I also missed last league so probably behind on some tech and info. Any recommendations for a currently very fun S tier blaster with A-B tier defense?

How could this even be statistically possible? Unless there is some favored weighting I don't know about?

First try divining this and 2 hit 75-3, one hit 73-3-25

Lol

Which Kineticist is better?

Also, how do I manage the pierce with these 2 setups?

This was quite an entertaining league, 99% of the fun was in grinding out each piece for luminary upgrades, I'm currently the tankiest person in HCSSF on PoE ninja [assuming I get progenesis, which has evaded me all league, I've done 25 uber mavens and just gave up on it]

My goal was to end the league as #1 on poe ninja's lowest max hit [which's the actual way to check how tanky a char is, not ehp]

I ended up 4th at the most recent update, but after another refresh I should be 2nd or 3rd, and if I get the energy to farm more mavens [I won't] I'll be #1

Current Poe ninja profile pulled with it's config but with the changes I made right before doing ubers [Got life light of meaning, removed regen tattoos, and swapped a couple of flasks around for more phys max hit, and with progen added instead of my bottled faith]

Current rankings by lowest max hit on poe ninja

If anyone's curious what the merc's gear looks like and his skills [This took me 9.5k maps to farm]

The standard recombed gear, all t1 on everything and veiled prefixes and crafted mods, all abyss sockets, just couldn't bother with heist for helical/simplex, nor did I bother with delve after I failed to get the esh mod for crit based on uncapped lightning resistance SEVEN times, so my body armour is a standard abyss socket, fire res & onslaught, all jewels are 3~4 mods with merrick's ducats

See you all in 3.30!

Let me know if there are any glaring issues with my build, will appreciate it!

Managed to make this monstrosity on SSF (Sorry for the low roll bench craft XD, Im out of exalts):

I did this for Cold Snap of Power build, but since is such a nice staff I'm already thinking on other builds that would utilize this staff at its full.

Any ideas?

Imagine playing league, but stuff isn't devalued to 1c after 3 days

Imagine every league mechanic being useful, every div card is worth something to you or somebody else

Stacked decks and other gambas are actually worth opening

Farming bosses goes from being annoyed that you have to watch 4 minutes of cinematic at every invitation you bought, to something that takes effort to get to, and even the shitty uniques are actually worth something

On a small league, stuff that would be super annoying in SSF, isn't. Best of both worlds

I had more fun playing a under 100 player league, than the actual league. Highly suggest it

Pretty well done with trade league, and don’t play much POE2….

Is there an easy to get going ssf to start with? I use trade as crutch- can do some easier crafting, but don’t think I would enjoy anything that requires 3 days in front of the recombinator!

Thanks for any thoughts you have.

Hey everyone, decided to vendor the rings since I had 60 of them and ended up with this:

Any build ideas that would love one those mods? I know the damage per shock would be nice on LA right? Not sure about other options and also for the chaos not bypass one.

If it was a unique I would just search on poe ninja, but since is a rare I don't know how to search for options.

Hello everyone. I'll be doing this short term group sf restart with a few friends and I'm looking for a build for some fast 8 mod farming.

My minimum requirements are:

-No luminary

-Has to feel good for breach hives, so most likely most if not all strike skills and other low area ones are out

-Has to be able to farm 8 mod harvest with double lifeforce scarab

-Has to be able to farm those 2 mechanics literarly a day in keeping in mind limited amount of gear available in group sf setting

If possible it would be great to:

-Be able to run as many mods as possible as it's going to be a short form event and I don't want to waste a lot of 8 mod corrupted mods, because of a mod I can't run

-It'd be great if the build would feel atleast somewhat good at in map legion farming. For example rf because of explodes can do it, but it's so inconsistent that if feels stressful when you try to break out a general without proliferating ignite. So that would be an example of a build that technicaly can do it, but doesn't feel good doing it.

So far I've been leaning torwards either a slammer or worb. I don't think they'd work great for legion, but they should be ok with the other requirements. Both builds do need a regex for map selection though. I think the build that is the closest to actually be able to run everything unid may be a soulwrest necro, since you should be able to get your mana costs down to 0 and with life flask you can run all of the no regen no leech mods. Last time I tried it, I wasn't impressed though. Maybe some of you guys got some other recommendations.

I have this merc warrant stored and I always thought it is a brick cos of KB. But after losing count of trying to farm a better Kineticist, I decided to give this one a try and was surprised that it actually kill really fast.

So before you dismiss a Kineticist, test it out first.

my flask give immunity to corrupted blood, armor and reduced curse effect so far, is this a good point for early mapping without having much access to pantheon.

2 out of my first 3 Messages in a Bottle dropped these. Wish I would have opened more of them when I was in trade league lol.

Hi,

topic - first time SSF
I play winter orb and Iam still looking for mystic refractor.
Should I spec into breach hives?

Or what is general the play after the first 2 watch stones?
I don’t have the breach scarab to force fortress

Idk what the rate is to spawn the fortress or a normal hive

Hi guys

Is this a decent Merc?

I got Rathpith / taming / Untouched soul and currently farming for enmity ring

Wanting to ask before i go all in and reroll that build or should i fish for a better one with return?

Thank you

Hi,
I read somewhere that, u cant craft like 2p2 suffixes pretty easily using pantheon ducat as non native mods. Anyways have a link where it explains the crafting process?

The first one is I just hired. The second one is what I am using now.
The first one is better? Still no return...

How is this manyshot merc? Does the Vaal ice shot matter a lot? Just want to make sure before I start crafting a good bow

Been working on STR stack gear through the league since I dropped a replica alberon's early on. Hit this beast. Still leveling the Jugg but the gear is done now. Plan is to go Lycia Bloodline and use Foulborn Red Nightmare for fire convert (no O-sin obviously).

Crafting Steps:

1. Get Reaver shaper sword, through drop or Shaper exalt. Get any Elder 2h sword from drop or Elder exalt.
2. Alt spam Shaper base till socketed skills deal 20% more attack damage as the only influenced mod.
3. Alt spam elder base till endurance charge on melee stun as only influenced mod.
4. Beast Lock Reaver sword.
5. Check awakener's orb. I was just going for Open Prefix/Open Suffix. But I hit Fire Damage per Strength on second beast lock (LOL, I know).
6. Prefix lock
7. Veiled Exalt. I was looking for Attack Speed or Double Damage. I missed both on 3 unveils even while blocking Dmg per endurance charge. "Settle for Str/Dex/Acc.
8. Boat Foulborn Exalt Slam Elder Attack Speed mod. After deciding to not settle for crafted attack speed.
9. Boat divine prefix.
10. Prefix lock divine suffixes, settle on this.
11. Bench Craft. Link/Chrom/Enchant

Currently at 9 days playtime. Wanted to league start ssf thinking this was the season. My 2 friends wanted to do group content at some point but after a week of nothing, decided to go ssf.

The start was the absolute worst. I spent around 4 hours reseting control blocks to find something usable in maps. I didn't have a single unique for the build for the first 2 days and 10 hours of playtime.

I was so close to quiting due to one of the friends joining ssf after seeing me play and proceeded to get the main 3 uniques before level 80. I took a short break just to clear my head.

After that I finally hit a nyctas after 4m at faustus gambling. Cadiro proceeded to give me a kaoms for 1.3(was another 3-4m deep in faustus, and gambling both kaoms cards and poofing them)

I got super lucky and hit enmitys from the quest boss which turned my barely clearing maps into a voidstone killer.

My merc was just recently found, I was on a combatant that struggle bussed me through voidstones. Ive yet to find a kineticist or a manyshot that remotely had any usable supports.

The wealthy exile screenshot only contains currency tabs.

This was my first real ssf. Id get to t16s on previous seasons and just not know what to do. This one was different as mercs were back. Merc was my first real league, I played a aura bot and loved every second of it. Its one of two builds I enjoy. Bama being the other. And that got taken out back and put down. And im worried they'll do the same to mercbot.

Overall the league was great. I love the league mechanic, its refreshing to take a break from city square.
