    Not having fun this League... can't find an enjoyable build, can't kill bosses.

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 03:23 PM PDT

    I've only been playing PoE for 1 year, and up to Delirium I maybe had 100/200 hours into the game. But I loved every minute of it, and with COVID-19 I was able to play Delirium a lot.

    In 3.10, I enjoyed all of the builds I played:

    • VD/Necro Spellslinger
    • Archmage Storm Brand (Started as Totem build)
    • Max Block Cyclone
    • Hollow Palm Infernal Punch Chieftain

    Each had unique aspects and were able to kill map bosses and clear reasonably, with the Archmage able to stomp End-game bosses. It was great, I made some currency, crafted a little, and was super hyped for Harvest.

    I have tried four builds in 3.11 so far:

    • Chieftain Slam Builds (Earthshatter & Tectonic)
    • Trickster (Wintertide Brand & ED/Contagion)

    While all builds have been great at map clear, they are unable to kill red tier map bosses. And I'm stuck at level 86/88, always getting reset by XP loss.

    I've played everyday since Harvest was released and I still haven't killed enough Conquerors to attempt a Sirus fight. Though, I wouldn't want to attempt it anyway as I do zero-dps boss damage.

    Any suggestions on how to bring the fun back this league? I really enjoy PoE when I'm making character progress and have funds to experiment. Currently, feels like I've hit a brick wall, and I'm concerned anything new I start will quickly end up in the same place after a few days.

    For reference, here is a link to my character sheet. Feel free to import into PoB. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Dr_ick/characters

    Would double strike+general’s cry work?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 12:34 AM PDT

    I've always liked the aesthetics and 'feel' of double strike, and now with ancestral and general's cry I'm hoping one could actually achieve decent clear with this skill.

    So here's the plan. Have two 6-link double strikes, with and without general's cry. Link the general's cry version with shockwave support to have 5 shockwaves go off per cry (this does limit weapons to maces and staves). Smash bosses with the Vaal version as usual. Would work with impale, conversion+EO (90% conversion to keep bleeds up), crit or whatever.

    One thing I'm not sure of is how shockwave support's internal cooldown works with general's cry mirages but if all 5 go off clear potential should be decent. Has anyone tried something like this? Do you guys think it would work?

    Comparing CoC Cospri Builds

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:16 PM PDT

    It's been a while since I've done a CoC build, so I was looking into a few guides. Most people run a standard cold build (I was eyeing Esoro's guide, but I see some people running a fire conversion variant with Effigon to get 100% hit chance (Example 1, Example 2).

    The fire version uses Wave of Conviction for the CoC setup to apply exposure, and shoots for 15 aps to get max Cospri triggers (most of the damage from from the Cospris). It seems interesting, but I can't tell what advantages it has (besides being a bit cheaper) over the standard cold version, especially since cold has the added defense of chill/freeze.

    Also, for the cold version, I don't really understand the advantage of dual-wielding Cospris. Most people seem to only go for 7.5 aps, so they don't even get any additional ice novas out compared to single-wield with 7.5 aps. They gain an extra link or two on the Cospri ice nova, but it seems like the CoC setup's damage would overshadow this. Without dual-wielding, you could go for a Lycosidae or Light of Lunaris.

    Newbie Spectral Throw Berserker Help?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 09:13 PM PDT

    Hey guys, my friend is attempting to make a spectral throw berserker but he literally does no damage and I've kind of ended up carrying him through most of the game LOL. I have to admit for the most part I've stuck to following build guides so I don't really know how to help him along here.

    here is his profile and his skill tree. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Dat_Boi_Miles/characters

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3EmGTgO290 is the video he got his idea from, and is basically just following the skill tree in the description. but I am lost on what items and armor he should be going for, especially because i don't know what has been nerfed since then or anything, so any suggestions or help for his build would be appreciated, we are both pretty new players.

    Any help as to where to go from here would be appreciated, thanks :)

    [Path Of Exile 3.11] Facebreaker Unarmed Cyclone Build Guide! 12M Shaper...

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:40 AM PDT

    While fun is extremely subjective, what are some of your most fun builds or archetypes in Harvest?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:36 AM PDT

    I feel like fun has a blend of efficiency, lack of clunkyness, and just generally feels good.

    I'm looking at some PoE archetypes that aren't mega meta and popular, but not so "out there" that they are inefficient and would need tons of currency. After all, it seems like there's no bad builds... Just builds that can do more with less.

    My thoughts?

    I love brands so maybe another brand character. Arma or penance.

    Fireball spellslinger, maybe magma orb?

    Totems? Divine Ire? Sometbing else that scales well?

    Earthshatter Zerker? Someone was posting they weren't having a ton of fun on this patch and then a lot of posts were saying to go Zerker.... Squishy but deletes bosses?

    Summoners/Spectres always relevant, but in 3.10 I did a bunch of summoners and am a little burned out. They are mega strong tho....

    Genuine max block gladiator is a great archetype. Maybe spectral shield throw could be decent. Something non meta (I. E. Not cyclone) would be fun.

    Asenath’s Chant DOT build

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 03:41 AM PDT

    Anyone has experience with Asenath's chant, chaos DOT build? As a goof I was experimenting with Soulrend + Quil rain + Scrouge arrow and i was quite surprised at how well it did in blood aqueducts with virtually zero investment and low level gems.

    I was using Scrouge Arrow + CWC + Contagion + Essence drain for the memes, but something tells me that you can make a legit build if done right, maybe with Caustic Arrow or Toxic Rain. It is pretty insane how many soulrend projectiles you can produce just by spamming attacks.

    [Beginner's Guide] My Cyclone Impale Champion Build on POE

    Summoner stuff

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 03:06 AM PDT

    I have some Standard questions since I missed some leagues. - I get that I use the Convoking Wand(s), that makes sense. I doesn't let me Vigilant Strike anymore but I can use wand skills as my Elemental Equilibrium application. - what kind of chest am I supposed to be wearing as a summoner? There's all these new mods like "Offerings are +25% effective" or something. It used to be wear a Vis Mortis if you have specters otherwise might as well wear a Belly of the Beast. - how are people getting 10k Energy Shield CI, I have some legacy mod Vaal Regalia and I can only get around 7500ES. Is the Watcher's Eye jewel for Discipline or Clarity just insane or something? I have never had 10k energy shield ever but I see tons of streamers have more. - Cluster jewels. They seem insane. Do I always now go deep cluster jewels for minions dropping most of my tree for minions or tree for defense? - Is there now a default best minion nowadays? I have Dancing Duo, Baron zombies, and multiple Animate Weapon builds I can update. I also have a skeleton mage build using a Femurs of the Saints that was updated with a generous +80% minion damage roll. - is there a 2H weapon that's really great to craft? I have crafted a +1 all gems bow for example. Now it seems a +10% strength fortify maul with +2 to socketed support gems might be new hotness? It seems like rare staves still suck somehow despite it being what a caster is supposed to use? - in PoB, the biggest DPS gem for a summoner is actually a level 5 Awakened Added Chaos gem because it happens to get +1 to gem level. I also heard in a video that if you can get it to level 10 then it will give +2 to gem levels, so I guess that's possible somehow. I am leveling 3 of them now and it will take a while, but I was wondering if anyone had a great build using one. I used to play United In Dream chaos animate weapon but it felt like it got hugely nerfed when poison was nerfed. Maybe a 4 white socket Triad Grip is the way to go?

    Thanks, I have multiple summoners to update so I can actually go in any direction probably.

    Whispering Ice Tanky Occultist Help

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:43 AM PDT

    (backstory to how I decided to make this build just skip a bit if u dont really care lol) So thanks to reddit I was randomly notified about wrecker_of_days' fun new player builds one of which caught my interest the curse occultist witch. So I planned to build that out but wasn't a fan of vortex which i found was also being used by other people playing a similar build through youtube vids. As such i decided to find something different that I would enjoy and I happened to remember the whispering ice scion build I'd been wanting to do and so here I am trying to combine the two.

    (tldr found 2 builds I liked and wanted to combine them for maximum fun)

    Onto the build so what I'm thinking is to run:

    Cyclone for the WI proc along with standard support gems for it

    Enfeeble, Temporal chains, Flesh and Stone, and Discipline plus Frostbite (If i can get the ammy to reduce its mana reserve) for curses and auras I realize this is over capping mana reserve but i believe with the passives ill be able to get that down to a level that still is useable with cyclone if not then id think dropping Flesh and Stone would be best but im not sure

    Ice Blink for movement since it doesn't stop you from cycloning

    Passive tree I'm thinking of going with www.poeurl.com/cW6A (first time using this so i couldn't figure out the ascendency but i was thinking of going for Profane Bloom and Malediction along with Void Beacon and Fridig Wake)

    and beyond this i'm not entirely sure so I turn to you all what do you think? Is this viable or am I just caught up in a dumb idea lol. If you have any suggestions on what to do with this then plz let me know

    Recommend me a instant warcry slammer build

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:32 PM PDT

    So league started a bane occultist, was a lot of fun up to mid tier yellow maps, where its really starting to hit a wall without some serious investment into equipment. About time to reroll, wanted to try a slam build at the beginning of the league but decided to wait and see what state they were in.

    I need some advice on which build to go for there's just too many to choose from I don't care to much on which skill, one thing I want to make clear, I only really want to use a one warcry build. I play for a limited amount of time a week, full time job and a one year old son keep me very busy. So having a bit of down time to play poe keeps me sane.

    I will say this league has been a real challenge for a casual like me, I've never really been into crafting, and trying to learn it all while trying to arrange a functional garden has been for the most part a real ballache. Anyway I digress I just want a simple slammer build that I can enjoy without to much complexity.

    HoT Storm Secret Autobomber - Which Ascendancy?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 05:24 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm making a Herald of Thunder storm secret build. I was introduced to it via this video here
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y4tifpMmyI

    In that video, the player goes elementalist. However, when I checked poe.ninja, 94% of players using this setup are going necromancer. I know I want to go necro or elementalist, butnot sure which would be better for this build. (I'm planning on going the agnostic as well)

    Any tips or pros/cons between these two for this build?

    tldr; would necro or elementalist be better for budget HoT storm secret autobomber?

    Is a phys wander viable now?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:32 PM PDT

    Title.

    Harvest makes crafting much more accessible, so better wands should similarly be much more accessible. How is wanding in 3.11? Is the int-stacking variant the way to go? Or how about stacking raw phys DPS on a wand?

    Scorpion's Call unique?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 12:13 AM PDT

    Just dropped a Scorpion's Call unique Broadhead Arrow Quiver yesterday that gives bonuses to Blood/Sand Stance and switching between them. But as far as I know, the only skills with innate bonuses to Blood/Sand Stance are Lacerate, Perforate and Bladestorm, all of which don't work with Bows. Blood/Sand Stance itself may be useful for some AoE-based arrow skills (Scourge Arrow?) but Flesh/Stone Stance seems useless because of its range limitations.

    Is there something I'm missing where this unique enables some new Physical Bow build with stances? I know Mathil had a phys Gladiator wander a league or so ago, but does that translate to Bows?

    Hello all! I am a new player that is trying to run a Trickster ED/Contagion build for end game. I was looking at some guides and saw a few that recommend Bane over Contagion. Does anyone have any insight on which is better for end game, or if there is anything else that is similar that I could run? Thank you!

    Level 95 RF build DPS improvements?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 07:23 AM PDT

    Hi, this is my first time ever doing an RF build. I made it for my girlfriend (I usually play faster attack/spell characters but she dies too much).

    It's pretty smooth so far (Towering at 8.8k life, need to unspec some life nodes and get damage somewhere) and was wondering if there's any obvious improvements to be made. I'm still pretty unhappy with the DPS so that's my main concern. I've been focusing on survivability thus far, and I'm really unfamiliar with RF/DOT so I'm curious if there's any glaring mistakes or improvements that I'm not seeing.

    Obviously the build is already pretty polished so most of the basics will be covered. For the cluster jewel, I take all nodes except for the ones leading to Prismatic Heart. Not sure if I should go for a 2nd cluster or not. I path to Call to Arms for the QOL and survivability, but I might unspec out of that as well and opt for some other warcry or DPS nodes to test it out.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Thoughts on what Supports to use with Infernal Cry now that Fortify is fixed?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2020 07:52 PM PDT

    I'm playing an Earthshatter Juggernaut and it was pretty nice running Fortify on Infernal Cry instead of Earthshatter but now changes need to be made and wanted some advice.

    I used to use CoH with Vulnerability, Maim, and Fortify in a 5 link. Now I'm using a Blasphemy setup with Vulnerability. I'm still using Maim with Infernal Cry but I'm not really sure what else to use.

    I tried using Cast on Melee Kill with Phase Run but it seems to trigger very rarely since the Combust from Infernal Cry needs to do the killing blow. I've also tried using Rage Support but you don't attack fast enough to make great use of it.

    I'm thinking of trying Culling Strike and Onslaught, might even try Blind support. Are there any setups that I'm overlooking?
