    Is spellslinger dead?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 11:56 PM PST

    Looking at poe ninja most are just cold slingers w/ vortex since that interaction is pretty good, maybe a few people doing fire stuff but for the most part it seems like no one is using it anymore for endgame?

    Flicker Strike build mana issues.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 12:00 AM PST

    Hello, I have a lvl 80 Scion For flicker strike. It is my first character in poe. I have a ring with "non-channeling skills have-6 reduced mana cost", an amulet with the same mod, and took 0.4% + 0.4% damage leeched as mana from the tree, and I still run into mana issues sometimes. I have -- with Rage, Precision, and Summon Skitterbots -- 93 mana remaining. I am following Oro's Sacrifice Flicker Strike build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DodNVmA9cIM&feature=youtu.be&t=267

    Anyways, any help is much appreciated.

    Am I over-calculating my DPS figures?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 01:06 AM PST

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/cLUvVscw

    Exiles, my last post had some upvotes but no suggestions to improve. I've since added an Awakened Ele Focus to replace the normal (a 1/20 Awakened does more than a 21/20 non-awakened).

    I wanted to ask - am I overstating my DPS/configuring this wrongly? Can you kindly check and tell me if I'm doing this wrong?

    Current config:

    • Shock (5% I think this is right?)
    • Leeching energy shield (which I am),
    • Not on full ES (because Storm Secret is hitting my ES so in combat it's normally not completely full),
    • Shocked enemy lately (Inpulsa/WoC or Arc with high shock chance),
    • Enemy in chilling area (Algor Mortis with Creeping Frost),
    • Enemy chilled (both Algor Mortis plus Anom Arctic Armour/Storm Secret "chill when hit" combo),
    • Enemy cursed (Conductivity - this will also grant culling strike against the enemy from Wish For Death notable)
    • Enemy Blinded (Conductivity with Evil Eye cluster which also grants 5% increased damage)
    • Lightning Exposure (Wave of Conviction)
    • Pendulum of destruction on ele damage
    • 6 Anomalous Golems (this may get me roasted the Elemancer Ascendancy gets me increased buff per summoned golem and the only way I get more is with Primordial Chain which isn't nice for the golem life aspect)

    PoB says sDPS is 3.1m which can't be right because at AW5 the conquerors take far too long to drop. Fights are taking minutes to run and I need to take time to run away and let ES recharge (life seems to be stable I think from Doryani's Lesson notable). This also means I lost the blind from Evil Eye on the enemy (only lasts 4 seconds).

    My ability to take out AW5+ Conquerors seems like my damage dropped off a cliff, but the DPS calcs are insane (to me) for my second ever char. I see others on poe.ninja with 5x more dps but I don't have the currency for their gear (yet) plus they are playing Assasin which is a crit-based build.

    Also: Sirus can bite me.

    Help me Exiles!

    Endless Delve: Self-cast Ice Nova?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 05:03 PM PST

    Do you think self-cast Ice Nova could be viable for Endless Delve? No uniques required, not that reliant on great gear, leaves no corpses with Herald of Ice... I don't know, does that make sense?

    I'm definitely interested in trying it out. I am but a casual, just hoping to grind levels and go deeper for fun. Most Ice Nova guides out there are CoC with Cospri's, though, so I'm a bit lost. There was this post few days ago, but it lead to nothing conclusive. This guide is all I have, but I'm a bit skeptical about it. If I'm taking Sanctuary of Thought I feel like I should be more focused around ES with some mana scaling. Maybe even going archmage on top (would that maybe help with Elemental Overload)?

    But then again, that's a 1-week league and I have limited time, so I don't want anything that scales too hard on gear, and this path would suck in that sense, I think. So maybe occultist? Mathil played that a while back. Sigh, I don't even know.

    Any suggestions? Anyone out there thinking about running something similar?

    Thanks in advance.

    Heist softcore champion respec assistance

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:31 AM PST

    So, I've been playing a shattering steel (with lancing steel gem swap for bossing) champion build in heist SC and honestly... I'm bored of shattering steel. I like using lancing on bosses and it's absolutely crushing things, but shattering just feels so underwhelming. I've got a decent gear set including a well rolled paradoxica, a saviour, a 1.5% crit to socketed gems/T1 life astral plate and an extra impale hit watchers eye and a buddy who has quit the league donated me his headhunter, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a heavy respec and skill swap to truly benefit from the headhunter, whilst still using the saviour? I have a budget of about 5 raw ex and over 3,000 chaos, so there shouldn't be too many issues with grabbing bits and pieces to make a respec work.

    BV Occultist Help

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 10:28 AM PST

    I'm playing an Fire BV Occultist in Heist and was wondering if a Herald of Ice / Hatred BV Occultist would work, but i dont find any guides. Only BV HOI Assassin. Maybe someone could help me with a POB or someting? (Sorry for my bad english)

    Edit: i found one but it's from 3.8 and i don't if i can still use it, because of the changes between 3.8 and 3.12

    Need some guidance on my ED/Cont trickster

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 08:42 AM PST

    https://www.pathofexile.com/account/sony/view-profile/IlIIlIlIIlIlIIlI/characters

    It's the level 94 Trickster.

    Having some problems with direction on what to upgrade next, I know my belt and rings need upgrading for sure but I'm wondering if there's anything I've missed. I need better lab enchants on gear especially on gloves and hat but I just never have any luck.

    I'm also working on recoloring the Hyrri's to have 4b2g and I do have an empower 3 available for my bow - I'm just leveling other empowers as I find them to try to corrupt one into a 4. Same with the awak swift affliction, just leveling them as my damage is comfortable enough.

    He's subject to incoming damage spikes and still gets 1-shot occasionally.

    Any gems I should swap out for alternate quality? Any items or jewels other than a watcher's eye I should be scoping out?

    I’m seeing some deaths aura builds lately(deaths oath) and was wondering how truly viable is it on league starter settings?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 10:24 AM PST

    Would you level with blight and contagion? What would be the easiest leveling process with it. I know TR/CA would be good but id have to get bow nodes? I loved deaths oaths like a year ago just didn't think it was viable to boss kill with. Also the life version is tankier than the CI version due to armor and chest stacking right?

    Heist Softcore - Herald of Thunder scaling, where can I go from here?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 05:14 AM PST

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/cLUvVscw

    I'm back again exiles, I'm hoping for any direction on better cluster jewels, pathing, or gear that can take my HoT further, and especially wondering if my configuration is wrong and over-inflating my DPS/defense figures.

    Elementalist non-crit HoT with Golems stacking defense/offense (Anom Flame golem adds 300k sDPS!?!?).

    AW5/6 Conquerors and any AW Sirius is just completely baffling me - with this high DPS I would have thought I'd be going better but overall it's like a damage cliff and I'm tickling them rather than killing. Sirius is more likely due to the fight mechanics, given what I've seen/read, but the others....

    Right now I am using Storm's Gift when mapping (with the skills listed) and it's very quick, and swapping to Algor's for bossing and throwing down Creeping Frost to create the chilled area (this was suggested to me in my previous post). Tougher bosses I actually swap to a high ES 6L in the hopes of survivability but drop 120k DPS by doing so.

    I'm considering pathing the tree towards Spiritual Aid but wondering if I would not be better off elsewhere.

    Reddit please help: Am I over-stating DPS figures with my config? What else could I do better?

    Thanks again, exiles.

    TR mines vs. GC mines for endless delve

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 12:07 PM PST

    I'm pretty excited about the upcoming endless delve event, but I've never made a build specifically for delving, nor have I ever played a miner. Therefore, a lot of new stuff for me...

    I'm hoping to get to 600, but who knows....I won't be disappointed if I come up short. I just don't want to get 2 days into this and find out I noobed up the build selection.

    I'm trying to pick between TR and GC. Can anyone give me thoughts on how these will be different to play and gear during the event? Is there anything, like a required piece of gear, that rules either of them out?

    Thanks exiles!

    Converting from BL miners to icicle/GC?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 03:07 PM PST

    Here's my current POB for ball lightning miner: https://pastebin.com/8wJZ950k

    it's obviously missing stuff, cuz this is what I used for mayhem as a starter. But, im curious how would I go about converting from BL to glacial cascade or to icicle? What auras are good to use, and what do you scale? is AoE as important? Budget is league starter, so life-based.

    Why is ED/C so recommended and revered?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 05:37 PM PST

    I've been really trying to figure out why people love this build. Why its considered a staple in the game. I really can't figure it out. Every build generally needs to have three things addressed - damage, defenses, and QoL. I want to go off on this, but my TL;DR analysis is that ED/C does poor damage, has a ton of QoL (contagion spreading ED for huge clear, trickster sustain) and has quirky defenses (ghoust shrouds, hybrid ES/evasion, can go CI, etc). It basically has nothing for it, outside of clear speed, which, with a spellslinger feels pretty damn amazing.

    I want to expand on this.

    ED/C as itself gives virtually no damage. Contagion is a minor DoT that carries essence drains damage over. ED is a hit and a DoT which does significantly more damage. Trickster ascendency gives a good bit of dmg (patient reaper). Passive tree near shadow area is ripe for chaos damage, dot mutli, etc.

    The build itself has limited/conditional defenses. Trickster has more defensive options than some classes (berserker, elementalist, etc) and worse than others (chief, jugg, glad, etc). Ghost shrouds makes you immune to stuns but can run out if oyu get hit a lot. You can go full ES (LL, CI), hybrid (life+ES), and you can choose between block or dodge. Block can get glancing blows which makes you take smoothened incoming damage. Phase acrobatic means you dodge 40% attacks, 30% spell hits. With flasks and certain gear, you can dodge quite a bit more frequently.

    The build itself has a ton of QoL. Patient reaper is amazing sustain while mapping and imo is only paralleled to Agnostic in terms of regen. You are around a ton of increased AoE nodes. In juiced up maps or in mayhem, increased monster density means your contagion spreads quiiiite far, potentially, which means your clear is more or less unparalleled.

    This build has pushed far in the ladder (look at how many 98+ tricksters there are), and has been used by Lightee in Harvest Gauntlet. Clearly it is strong under the right conditions, but what are they, and why is it not so obvious to me? I tried to not be too biased in my understanding of this build, but I've tried this build twice - once when I was new and it pushed me to red maps with a cane of the unravelling. Now Im on SSF in Mayhem, level 79 and barely doing enough damage to kill an invasion boss in 1 ED.

    I have a lvl 98 poison BV character. You have an autist's aspiration for numerical perfection and take pleasure in seeing the max get min'd.

    Hey guys - today I transitioned my poison BV character (which has been roughly following grobbs guide) in a pretty drastic manner, whereby I moved a jewel cluster from below wind dancer to the top of the tree. My numbers are all looking much better, but something is definitely amiss - I've died a few times since the transition in ways that surprised me - by all rights I ought to be sturdier.

    Reistlin as he was yesterday: https://pastebin.com/p3eMjtYZ

    Reistlin as he is now: https://pastebin.com/5bcirXBy

    ~~~

    I'd really like to form a late game gear plan, chase items, etc, with someone so inclined and generous; could parlay on the cord of disses if it so suits.

    A guildmate who quit the league left me with some crazy items that I've looked at incorporating, & have tried, but it's been incongruent at times, as Im sure the pieces are intended for other builds, but I know they're too powerful not to ask about how one might.

    https://imgur.com/gallery/u6ATiRh

    I don't know if offering compensation is against the subreddit rules, so I'm not outright offering currency - but if someone does me the solid, I respect the investment of your time, and would be happy to share the free windfall of my guildie's loot with you as thanks. I'd rather epic items be seeing action than collecting dust in my stash.

    My current gear aims are: - a Malevolence dot multiplier with Precision crit multi Watchers eye - better boots with Tailwind? - transition off the Diadem helm? (but how) - new explode chest or Asenath's gloves (my extra curse mod isn't relevant since I dropped my despair), ideally with +base spell crit chance and 10% frenzy on hit - I'd love to get endurance charges somehow

    • Im Raestlyn#3285 on discord. Let me know here or there if you're the hero Gotham needs right now.

    Hope to hear from you, Cheers -
