    TS Occultist troubleshooting - How to get the build working

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 02:48 PM PDT

    Let me preface this, I'm not a theory crafter or even that good at PoE but I want to try to help people who got in over their heads with this one. I'm not here to defend what happened. It was very bad and not handled well. Lets see if we can salvage a few peoples league starts.

    If you have any questions or suggestions I'll try to keep this post updated if enough people are interested. Post your character if you need help. If the build is struggling in yellow maps there is something wrong.

    The build does ramp once you get all the mechanics online and plays pretty nicely. Not 3ex nice, but it's getting the content done. Once you get your Darkscorn, chaos res, resists and life all sorted it's tanky enough that you shouldn't be dying very often if you're not dashing into packs.

    I haven't done much scourge. Seems like a 'press mouse5 to lose experience' button for me right now.

    Current state of play

    My profile: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/RippDrive/characters

    4L dendrobate
    5L Darkscorn
    lvl 19 gems, 0% quality

    Highest map: T12

    Things are going well now. My flasks are total dogshit. No anoint yet. Damage is starting to fall off so next up is gonna be the 6L dendrobate. Not dying very often and just trying to get some map sustain. Boss damage is great if you can find a second to stand still and get a few attacks off.

    Advice

    -Darkscorn is a very important defensive layer. The build just feels like ass without it.

    -Chaos resist is super important. You get a lot of physical mitigation if you chaos res is sorted. If you don't have Withering Presence yet things will feel much better after you get it. Chaos res is also a lot of damage from the 1% chaos dot multi per 4% resist mastery

    -Always be above 300 Dex for the Dendrobate activation. It's lots of damage.

    -The phasing bow mastery is great QoL

    -Phase run in the helmet is nice linked with the inc duration if you have a socket for it.

    -Clever thief is nice. Pick up the Poison mastery for 3% life gained on kill if it's not enough.

    -Intuition seems to be a great one point pickup. I might go over to quickstep if I have points later

    -Check what your chance to poison is. You might have an extra point or two you can recover

    -If you feel you need another aura you can go for the Charisma wheel and fit it in. Another user suggested Grace paired with Ghost Dance. Mana gets a little too tight for my liking.

    That's all I can think of for now. Good luck exiles!

    Has anyone had any success with Energy Blade?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 05:52 PM PDT

    I league started EB as Hierophant to scale mana and es. I now arrived at mapping T1-2 maps and idk how I should feel about it. I have about 2,5k HP and 2k ES (after reduction from EB) and so far I'm playing Spectral Helix and Tornado.

    It did sound nice, it worked nice in the story, but for.mapping, imo, it's too slow and squishy. Keep in mind - I'm usually playing Flicker Strike.

    I'm thinking about switching to Inquisitor to make some CoC cyclone work or go straight out Battlemage, but idk yet.

    Did anyone have success at making it work in mapping?

    Trickster's Heartstopper feels.... really good? If you play around it

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 05:23 PM PDT

    I took heartstopper kind of as a meme on my second character on the first lab, and it feels really good--with temporal rift and lethe shade. Lethe shade basically gives you a second's warning before the "real" dot kicks in to tell you that you should be using temporal rift soon, allowing you to use the skill and recover your life lost to DOTS. THEN- for the next 5 seconds, while temporal rift is on cooldown, you take no DOT due to heartstopper. When it came to the abberath and Ryslatha fights, i just facetanked their dots.

    Anyone else having a good experience with Heartstopper?

    EDIT: Not to mention, Shaper's Presence from Solstice Vigil should extend the duration of both Heartstopper and Lethe shade if I'm not mistaken.

    I was away this weekend so I'll be having a late start. What's the word on good starters?

    how’s flameblast ignite for anyone playing it?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 09:18 PM PDT

    I like how cool it looks but is it good? I remember ignite damage not being too good early when I played it a league ago.

    Anyone tried out BA elementalist

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 07:43 PM PDT

    As the title says. I know it got changed just dont know if its for the better or worse. I figured you would have to scale it differently but I am not smart enough to make my own build. I love bow builds and really wanna play it.

    Any succesful Brand builds?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 02:38 AM PDT

    Hey ! I really want to play Brand.

    Im Playing In an SSF environment, at sirus 8 atm with RF inquis, but i want to play something Else

    I cant find a strong armageddon brand that does enough dmg to scourge and bosses, im afraid strombrand wont hit hard enough and wintertidebrand is inheritly weaker than just playing colddot.

    Any variation you guys have tried that is blasting hard? I would love armabrand, ignite or activation doesnt matter! Im also trying to avoid going inquis again.

    Thanks In advance

    Late SSF league start with Storm Brand Inquisitor

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 12:51 AM PDT

    Not the spellslinger version, is it good? I see a few people playing with it but don't really know if it's a pain or not. Any experience reports are appreciated!

    Fellow Seismic/Exsanguinate Trappers, Lifetap or Crit Multi Gem in 6L?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 01:59 AM PDT

    As title says, i'd like to know what you think about Lifetap vs Inc. Critical Damage Support Gem in 6L.

    Currently running Crit Damage Gem myself but thinking about Lifetap and why Lifetap is used by 69 % of Seismic Trappers and Crit Dmg Gem by 33 % on poe.ninja.

    Thanks for your input.

    CF Gladiator- Evasion + Spell Suppression Variant

    Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder Day 3 update / red maps

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 05:54 PM PDT

    Which skills synergize well with the Scourge mechanic?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 03:05 AM PDT

    I leaguestarted Armageddon Brand ignite and it's turning out great for the league mechanic. The brands shift with you and, as they become detached, return to their starting position and immediately attach to the nearest mob. If I shift with 3 fresh brands out, widely spaced, I can instantly clear three Scourge packs behind me on entry. If I then run ahead and recast a couple of times, I instantly clear two-three normal packs ahead of me on return.

    What other skills/builds have good synergies with the Scourge mechanic?

    Bonus question: I'm currently debating between attachment range and additional brands for my Brand Mastery. If anyone's tried both, I'd like to know which one you prefer for clear. I'm kind of strapped for regrets right now and would prefer to not switch back and forth for the experiment.

    Death Oath, who's tried it this league?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 03:08 PM PDT

    Starting the league late and really wanted to try death oath. Probably level with bane or caustic arrow until I can swap. How does it do against the league mechanic or in general after losing dodge? If anyone has an updated PoB that would be super helpful as well.

    Would it be possible to punch as fast as this video using Hollow Palm as Chieftain?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 12:23 AM PDT

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqX4aX0423Q

    Basically, I'm wondering if getting this much attack speed is viable with Hollow Palm and as Chieftain, or if it'd be necessary to use swords and Raider.

    I really want to do a build with consecrated path except using hollow palm. Any tips?

    Edit: I posted the wrong video like a doofus.

    Poisonous concoction bossing

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 10:34 PM PDT

    So I'm not a good mechanical player, still in act 8, but I'm feeling a critical shortfall in this build (PF PC) right now: I can wreck mobs, even Scourge mobs, but anything that doesn't die to one load of Plague Bearer and doesn't have adds is a brick wall. I'm building pretty tanky (into block, spell suppression and armour) to survive mad infecting runs into the krangleverse, so I can usually outlast bosses so far. That said, I just know conquerors, and especially Sirus, will stomp me when I get there without some changes.

    Am I missing some trick to getting more shotgunning on bosses, or is the method just going to be switching skills (Viper Strike I guess), or do I need to resign myself to ignoring bosses or rerolling when I get there?

    How are the improved defenses?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 12:35 PM PDT

    I'm waiting for console release So I haven't played much of the new content yet, but I haven't heard much about the improvements to armour, evasion, and ES. I have read that spell suppression feels really good. Any thoughts on the others after playing?

    How's Skelly Mages In The End Game?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 01:57 AM PDT

    Hey!

    Smashing out some t16's and looking to dump some currency into a new build to try and focus farm the new uber content (Blights, sim's, bosses etc). Looking at starting with about 10ex.

    Was looking at minions since I love them to bits, but not sure how well they're working with all the passive changes this patch. Is anyone running skelly mages in high red maps? Would love to get some insights on how the clear/bosses feel with the build.

    Cheers!

    Shield Charge Fortify?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 07:26 PM PDT

    I'm playing Chieftan RF. I'm doing okay for white maps, but I'm definitely too squishy, even with max endurance charges. In the process of picking of tempest shield for spell block, but I'm hurting for skill points and can't get the one attack block node on this side of the tree.

    I'm running a 500 armor shield, but fortify doesn't even proc on white mobs in tier 3 maps anymore. Does the armor mastery '100% increased armor from shield' affect fortify calculation? does the fortify mastery 'fortifying hits grant 20% increased fortification' make fortify actually work? Or how are people applying it on non-slam non-champ builds?

    Are spells in Kitava's thirst buffable with archmage?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 03:50 AM PDT

    Like, can I link Arc-Archmage in Kitava's thirst and have it be cast every 2nd cast with the archmage damage applied?

    If this works, is it worth it? E.g. Arc-Archmage-Pen-whatever?
