    Soul's Wick build theory craft

    Posted: 18 Sep 2021 02:59 AM PDT

    I've long wanted to make a viable Soul's Wick build but the main issue to first overcome has been the spectres you summon are always random/bad. I recent got a bow that has the below stats:

    +1 to Level of Socketed Support Gems (implicit)

    +1 to Level of Socketed Dexterity Gems

    +1 to Level of Socketed Intelligence Gems

    +1 to Level of Socketed Gems

    Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers (crafted)

    +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems (crafted)

    +8% to Quality of Socketed Gems (crafted)

    This bow allows you to get 95% quality with a 23% quality phantasmal Desecrate and level 4 enhance. This results in a 95% chance to summon a Flickershade corpse. They have 300% life modifier and 105% damage modifier.

    With this combined with Phantasmal Raise Spectres (gives spectres max frenzy charges on summon) You can make some decent spectres with free frenzy charges for the first 10 seconds of their life.

    The best way I can see to scale the minions critical chance is with brittle as this gives up to 15% base critical strike which is then multiplied by 1000% form Soul's Wick. This means I would need to cause a 6% brittle with increased critical strike chance or 9% brittle without to get almost 100% critical strike chance on anything they do. With this in mind we can now make minion instability have almost 100% critical strike chance because it has a base of zero and can only critical strike with base critical strike chance added.

    The two items to use to get the brittle ailment are the GaleSight helmet or Leadership's Price amulet. To help boost ailments the build might also require Painseeker gloves inflict ailments as though dealing 200% more damage.

    My problem that I have is that for some reason anything I do I end up with bad DPS. I know this is a meme science project, but can anyone offer any thoughts on what they think might work and be actually viable?

    Thanks in advance

    Shockwave vs Fist of War Chart for Mace/Staff Slams

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:43 PM PDT

    I was theorycrafting a build and was curious if shockwave outperforms fist of war if fist of war is triggered on every attack. So I thought I would share my results if anyone is curious.

    These are the Level 20 without quality, although a level 21 gem didn't make any difference to which was the higher damage [although a level 21 shockwave does give you up to 5 shockwave charges]. "SW ST Hit" stands for "Shockwave Single Target Hit" and is how many times the skill would proc shockwave per cast if all components of the skill hit the enemy. This is only for single target fights, but Shockwave often triggers multiple times and overlaps its damage when hitting multiple enemies with slam skills except Consecrated Path and Leap Slam.

    Skill Base Damage Fist of War [98% More] SW ST Hit Shockwave [Base 260%]
    Consecrated Path 230% 455.4% 1 490%
    Earthquake 150% 297% 1 410%
    Earthquake + Aftershock 375% 742.5% 2 895%
    Ground Slam 188% 372.24% 1 448%
    Ground Slam Close Range 280.12% 554.6376% 1 540.12%
    Ice Crash 350% 693% 1 610%
    Leap Slam 150% 297% 1 410%
    Sunder 275% 544.5% 1 535%
    Tectonic Slam 275% 544.5% 1 535%
    Earthshatter Fissure Only 200 396% 1 460%
    Earthshatter Fissure and 1 Spike 350% 693% 2 870%
    Earthshatter Fissure and 2 Spike 500% 990% 3 1280%
    Earthshatter Fissure and 3 Spike 650% 1287% 4 1690%
    Earthshatter Fissure and 4 Spike 800% 1584% 4 1840%
    Earthshatter Fissure and 5 Spike 950% 1881% 4 1990%

    Patch 3.15

    Obviously this is only relevant to a build that doesn't utilize exerted attacks since Shockwave can't be exerted by warcries. Also Shockwave doesn't interact with ruthless, or gems that don't interact with trigger gems [eg multistrike, fortify] which also may need to be considered. Most of these skills should not have to worry about running out of Shockwave charges except perhaps Earthshatter or Earthquake.

    How would you craft a +curse chest?

    Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:20 AM PDT

    I'm currently looking for an upgrade for my chest piece in my Brutality Blade Vortex Necro build and as far as direct buying goes, the market seems to be empty. My budget is approximately 10ex in currency I can waste.

    What I need: - +curse - decent life to replace my current chest without a big loss

    I currently have a Hunter int/dex (ES is useless to me due to Devouring Diadem, but I need it for colouring) base with the +curse as the only prefix and 2 useless/unkeepable suffixes.

    What I'm currently using is a body armour with essence life roll, %life crafted roll, some dex (can get elsewhere) and very low res (can get elsewhere) - pretty much useless aside from the life roll. If I could get more resists here, that would mean I could afford an extra damage roll on my amulet, or more chaos res somewhere.

    How would you go about crafting it? All of the guides I can find that apply to post-nerf harvest are either extra basic or extra gg endgame. Of course I could always craft Multiple crafted + crafted flat life and crafted % life/mana, but as long as there is a decent way to get a better item, I'd go for that. +Curse is so rare that spamming caster and life fossils seems dead (especially if I'd need a free prefix), but I'm no expert crafter.

    Farming Shaper with a scion - Need a cheap bossing build

    Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:17 AM PDT

    Hey so in the next few days until D2R releases I want to try farming the hideout that shaper drops, was wondering if anyone has suggestions on a build to do this, i only have a scion on expedition but i can switch to standard where i have other chars if absolutely needed but i prefer to stay in the league. So all i need now are suggestions on bossing builds that are cheap and can wreck shaper.

    Help with improving my build (Self Cast FR)

    Posted: 18 Sep 2021 03:07 AM PDT

    I feel like i've hit a cap on my self cast FR build and do not know how to make it better in terms of items. I'm at the point where i've got stacks of currency and dont know if I can take this character future. The only upgrade i can see is possibly my gloves and boots as they are mainly used for their resistences and health roles.

    This is my PB: https://pastebin.com/NRhujAib

    I can pretty comfortabley do most content and i've found my only issue is getting one shot by various sources before my leech kicks in. I'm ultimately looking to increase my DPS.

    Which trap build was the best league start?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 06:54 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I would like to play through a trap character for the first time and was curious which trap was the best for starting 3.15?

    Can the phys one work or was it the ice trap?

    Can someone recommend a fun Shadow build?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:00 AM PDT

    I am somewhat new to the game with about 50 hours invested.

    I am using a Caustic Arrow Ranger as my main character currently.

    I do get bored and wanna switch it up sometimes.

    I love the way the Shadow looks.

    I prefer agility/dexterity skill based characters.

    Can someone recommend a fun build?

    I'm a noob so I'm not great with running a ton of key binds for the skills. 😅

    Leveling a trapper

    Posted: 18 Sep 2021 04:02 AM PDT

    Been wanting to try Seismic / Exsang for a while now, but unsure how to really level it ?

    I've been using Dissent's lightning trapper but I want to transition asap to the phys version so I don't have to spend too much on Regrets later on

    Could anyone recommend any mid 30-40+ phys uniques or mods to look out for in rares to convert into a Seismic / Exsang ? :)

    Thank you!

    If going 2h (not staves) on the left hand side of the passive tree, what defensives do you go for?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 07:18 AM PDT

    Wondering what builds using 2h axes/swords/maces would pick for defensives if on the left hand side of the passive tree. I haven't found any block nodes that don't require a shield of staff. Evasion is all on the right hand side of the tree.

    I understand CWDT set ups, guard skills, endurance charges etc. I'm wondering purely passive tree options. Do you just stack life/armour and hope for the best?

    What’s a good bleeding trickster build?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 10:12 PM PDT

    First try at HCSSF; Cobra Lash Pathfinder good enough?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 10:46 AM PDT

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/k54g9bLJ

    First time playing HC, so don't really know how to balance defence/offence.

    Defence layers:

    • Acrobatics + Elusive (Nightblade/Withering Step) + Vaal Grace for Dodge
    • Mistwall for Block
    • Wind Dancer + Petrified Blood (Full Life) for 1-shot prevention
    • Skitterbots for Chill
    • Defiance Banner
    • Fortify on Whirling Blades
    • Permanent Topaz/Sapphire/Ruby Flasks (can be automated with Instilling Orbs)
    • Positive Chaos Res
    • Lvl 20 CwDT with Steelskin
    • Near-permanent Life Flask restoring 2k Life/s
    • Endurance charges from Syndicate ring
    • Ranged + DoT playstyle

    Offence:

    About 150k dps isn't great, but clear should be good with innate Chain, GMP, double Poison Prolif (Bino's) and Plague Bearer.

    How far could I get with this? Anything I'm missing that I really need to get?

    Looking for help with Glacial hammer build

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 03:44 PM PDT

    So, every league I try to make a build. I am not very good at making builds, but it is fun (to a point). I try to do something that is not at the top of the list on poe ninja. Usually I give up on my builds around act 6 or 7 when I feel like they are really breaking down, but this time I made a build that I have played to level 80 so far. I wanted to do something cheap. I only ever make 5-10 ex per league. Think I have invested 3-5ex so far. For what I have put into it I don't think it is too bad.

    https://pastebin.com/4d5rCG52

    I do not know the ins and outs of every class, nor do I know all the synergies with skills and items. POB has been helping a lot. I went with glacial hammer because I thought it would be fun to freeze stuff. I looked at the other freeze builds and they did not seem like much fun to play. I went with mace and shield Champion because it seemed like it had good defenses and some decent damage on the ascendancy. Also, thought having a constant fortify without pressing a button was cool and would mitigate a bunch of damage. I think my build has a lot going on( probably too much). I wanted to grab some frenzy charges so I could keep enemies frozen and hit fast. I also have some decent crit (I think), enduring cry for endurance charges (my "oh shit" button), I get some power charges from Pain Forger. I really wanted good survivability along with good damage (I know the balancing act is hard). At level 80 the build seems to smash trash pretty good. The boss damage is mediocre. The survivability seems like it could be better too. I am doing t10-14 maps so far. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what to change or where to go from here. Any help is appreciated. Mana management isnt too bad. I put some skills into more mana.

    Elemental damage pathfinder builds out there?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 02:29 PM PDT

    This league I had a good time playing SA pathfinder with automatic flasks, but I'm kind of tired of playing DOT builds. Is there a viable angle for using the high flask uptime for an elemental damage build? I feel like dying sun has a lot of potential for something like this, but I don't have the long term experience to tell whether this is unpopular because it's niche or because it's bad. Secrets of suffering trinity seems cool, but theres basically no one playing that with pathfinder and it might be a case of too many mechanics to use effectively.

    Need help (Burning Arrow Chieftain)

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 06:49 AM PDT

    I always loved the playstyle of Bleed Bow and as far as I know, Bleed Bow is dead, so wanted to play a similar build, that's why I decided to start with this one (Which I think is also dead XD), I'm struggling a lot, mapping is fast, very fast, bossing is... Meh, the damage is not super bad, but the survivability is nonexisten, I know my current HP is low, but I'm struggling to have more HP without losing tons of damage and at this point I don't know how to scale damage or even have decent HP.

    I have read burning arrow has been super nerfed, I wanted to make this work but hell, it's difficult without infinite budget.

    Current Build:

    https://pastebin.com/vQ65freH

    Target (Lvl92)

    https://pastebin.com/PFhsfNZC

    I would appreciate some help tunning a bit the build, or if it's not going to work, just tell me haha.

    PS: Is there any good Burning Arrow chieftain guide updated for 3.15? Or any other similar playstyle build?

    Need help with what to farm / do on a MF build

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 01:53 PM PDT

    Hello fellow exiles!

    As my last build / project i decided to try for the first time an MF build, in case i want to go for it next league. As with most of my builds, i went to poeninja, searched for ppl with mf gear / hh and tried to copy it as much as i could afford it with my budget. (kinda what i did). / my profile ( Char name: LeagueRetentionLol). So after i got everything, first thing i did was put in a t14 tropical island, juiced it to 120+quant put a deli mirror on it and kinda kept insta dying to everything. My friend told me: yeee you supposed to farm white/yellow maps only.

    So here is my question: What is good to farm with mf build / how do i setup my atlas for if i need to go for low tier maps ? Is there a guide to what / how to farm ?

    Also if you got suggestions what can be better with the build, I'm open to it. Yes the amulet has to be changed for the wolf 20% quant, but i still need money for that x)

    Thank you for help!

    3.15 Hexblast Archmage Ignite Viable?

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 05:00 PM PDT

    I fell in love with this Trickster build in 3.14 thanks to StallionM who posted his guide here and on YouTube.

    I'm wondering if this build is still viable in 3.15 as I don't see any Hexblast ignite builds on PoE Ninja. Maybe Trickster isn't the best for this anymore.

    Based on a rough PoB I made with the needed uniques and terrible scepters I can see it still manages to hit 1m ignite dps with a 5 second ignite. Would that be enough for all general content in the game? I'm not looking at the hard invitations or even Maven.
