    How to get a guaranteed 30% shock on a boss for only 2 gem slots (and a + to level of gems gear piece).

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 02:23 AM PST

    This isn't a new concept, but I haven't really seen it mentioned anywhere recently, so here it goes:

    Vaal Lightning Trap + Enhance + any +Level of socketed gems item (preferably at least +2 such as Viridi's Veil).

    I was brainstorming ways of maximizing damage on my Scorching Ray totems character, and came across an interesting interaction. I was massively abusing Level 4 Enhance (level 6 with +2 from Viridi's Veil) + Phantasmal Searing Bond + Multiple Totems Support to get 9 SB totems in addition to my 5 Scorching Ray totems, which due to Hierophant's Ritual of Awakening was 9x5=45% more damage when they were all summoned.

    However I wanted a way to reliably shock bosses as that was one of the few ways I hadn't used yet to scale damage. I was stripping tons of res through curses, combustion, making enemies take extra fire through Infernal Cry etc, but no shock.

    My first thought was a shock on focus ring, but that would take away a minimum frenzy charge from one of my magic rings, and I was thinking there must be a better way. My next thought was Vessel of Vinktar, which with the Proliferation version can apply up to a 14% shock to nearby enemies, but would take up a flask slot, and also shocks you for 50% (which wasn't actually a problem because I was Shock Immune from Tempest Shield).

    Finally I remembered the existence of Vaal Lightning Trap, which applies a flat 15% shock from a shocked ground effect to enemies on it. This is fantastic and just what I needed. Upon further reading the gem though I realized something: the shock effect scales with quality.

    Hallelujah. I picked up a 20% quality Vaal Lightning Trap for 4 chaos, which gives a 20% shock. With a Level 4 Enhance it gives a 26% shock. When both are socketed in a +1 gems item it gives 28%, and in a +2 gems item like Viridi's, Magna Eclipsis, Vix Lunaris, or Invictus Solaris it gives a full 30% guaranteed shock

    If you can manage a +1 to socketed gems corruption on any of those shields it goes up to a 32% shock.

    Of course you won't have Vaal Souls immediately upon entering bosses such as Sirus or Maven Invitations, but due to the low soul cost (20), one can charge a VLT in 4 seconds of damaging a boss.

    Just thought I would share, since scaling the quality of VLT was a new concept to me. I hope at least somebody can get some use out of this knowledge.

    Free aura on spellslinger builds

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 06:22 PM PST

    So, now that I've managed to secure the gear for myself, here's a small idea I've been toying with over the past few days for a huge buff to my spellslinger build.

    Spellslinger builds usually reserve almost all their mana using multiple spellslinger support, so it's extremely hard to fit any aura in, but Scourge comes to the rescue. The Mortal Conviction keystone is normally gated behind Blood Magic, but if you manage to get it on a good body armour... then you can reserve one aura with Arrogance Support for no reservation. Spellslinger is not an aura so the downside of Mortal Conviction (only one non-banner aura) does not affect us at all (unless you're already fitting an aura somehow).

    So i got this: https://i.imgur.com/2y8vmxR.png

    I guess not many people thought of this since I got the one above for only 2ex (and the downsides are very minor, also yay life), which is exactly what I'd been trying to make, and it had been listed on trade for 5h+ with no buyer. I spent a few days trying to get the keystone on Sadist Garbs to try to mythic into Inpulsa's (pretty unlikely, I know) and also had alerts on trade website, but now that I found mine, I thought I'd share the idea.

    I'm not 100% sure which aura I'll use yet, since I'm running EO VD/DD slinger, not many damage auras really look that interesting, Discipline + ES on hit watcher's eye seem potentially the best (with frenzy/VD hitting so many times), or Anger + lots damage watcher's eye, but those wouldn't affect corpse explosions I think, so might not be that amazing overall, especially against bosses which is where the build is a bit slow. Haste could also be pretty big for quick farming with phasing watcher's, maybe I'll end up switching aura depending on what I'm doing.

    Edit: note that it's not that great overall, it's not that much better than getting a +2 or +4 corruption (if at all), getting both a good corrupt + the keystone is close to impossible though (about 1/5000 to scourge the node successfully, so you'd literally need thousands of successfully corrupted inpulsas). But I love the flexibility it gives to the build.

    Keeping Corrupting Fever up (TS Glad)

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 02:48 AM PST

    I recently switched to TS Corrupting Fever Glad. Got the Equip together but with an Empower 3 socketed I am having trouble keeping the corrupting Fever Buff up. My TS doesn't spend enough Life I guess.

    Anyone had similar problems or has a solution to this?

    Cheers

    Good raider/ranger build? League started Poisonous Concoction but I'm just not enjoying it at all and I want to respec into something else.

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 11:47 PM PST

    Title. What ranger builds are people going? I'm currently a pathfinder but I'm not opposed to respecing ascendancy as well.

    I enjoy going zoomy, and my other character is a general's cry blade flurry berserker so I have a good boss-killer already

    And yeah I know I can level another character but I heavily heavily dislike doing the campaign so I just want to respec this one

    Any builds where Scion is a better choice than any other class?

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 11:04 AM PST

    I love the Scion's aesthetics and the idea behind her ascendency, but I can't help but notice every time I look into making a build with her, it seems like just picking a different class would end up being the better choice.

    Is there any builds that someone has made that actually makes use of the Scion's really interesting ascension in a way that makes her the top choice for that build?

    Need help theorizing an Oro's Flicker build!

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 11:28 PM PST

    Long story short, got a 6l krangled Oro's recently, wanted to make a build, couldnt find any 3.16 guide so tried to make one myself. Problem is- I never played flicker before, not to mention its been very long since I did a build myself.

    So what I need is tips and help how to nake my build better. Currently i think its gonna have a severe lack in defense and life. Is there anything useless there? Things I missed?

    Thanks ahead for any help and tips!

    TR Raider - My build does OK, but I need advice.

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 05:09 AM PST

    This is my char's POB https://pastebin.com/ifaP9z1d

    This is the POB I've been following: https://pastebin.com/EBT4SK8Q

    I'm a casual and have been playing a 3.16 TR Raider. My survivability is OK, but my damage isn't where I thought it should be. I'm currently trying to roll my own cluster jewel to switch to the cluster tree build, but at my casual pace I might not hit the reroll I need to do the switch, or I might not be able to make the $$ required to purchase the jewel.

    Aside from the cluster jewel, what would be the next best thing for me to upgrade?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm quite lost at to what I've missed here, I seem to only have 295k damage compared to the 2.5m damage my guide says I should have at this point (following the pob Zizzarian put out). I dunno if its config on POB or if I seriously missed something

    Any tips on what should I focus next with my Bane Occ?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 04:31 AM PST

    My POB: https://pastebin.com/dRfPTTZ2

    It seems that I'm slowly getting into the territory of every upgrade being 50c+. So far I didn't have any problems, dps might feel a bit low in 15,16 maps, same with survivability. I really only die in scourge with 150+ stacks or if I'm not paying attention.

    I don't really know what to focus on now. I thought about getting new gloves and amulet, and jewels.

    Seismic Trap Saboteur Questions

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 10:24 PM PST

    1. Is 26aoe for Seismic Trap really that big of a dps increase compared to 25aoe?
    2. Why do people prefer shaper trap gloves over deerstalker when you get 18% throwing trap speed on deerstalker (~8% more damage)?
    3. Why do people take "% chance for traps to trigger an additional time" on Seismic Trap? In my testing it doesn't work on Seismic Trap but it does on Exsang Traps.
    4. Best ways to get CIP on SSF?

    Looking for a build under 50ex to farm endgame and i'm without options, every build i see cost more than 100 ex.

    This build is good for simulacrum and delve? Didn't see anyone playing it

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 03:36 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I Ve been farming with my fire burst character but Sirus and maven are a pain even if doable. I want to reroll something to kill them fast. I Ve seen suggestions around here of seismic trap, general cry (with crush), and some others. If this character had only one job of doing invitations and Sirus, what would you make with a 15 ex budget ? Thanks for the help.

    Skeleton mage bossing links

    Posted: 08 Nov 2021 08:32 AM PST

    So I've been playing skeleton mages this week end to see how they felt compared to skeleton warriors. But now that I have reached pretty deep endgame I start to see the limits of my single target without gem swapping. My current links are

    Vaal Skellies - Elemental focus - Minion damage - Spell echo - Pierce - LMP

    I plan to put Slower Projectiles over LMP but was wondering if I should also gem swap pierce and for what. I was thinking of Predator when I get a Vorici bench and can get some white sockets.

    But in the meantime, any recommandations? Or stuff that could be even better than Predator? I don't have skitterbots or stuff to chill in my build for Hypotermia btw

    Edit: Thanks for the recommandations! I'll gun for a Vorici bench and hope to hit a white on one of my greens to swap for slower proj and predator

    Help for Necro Carrion Golem Physical LL

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 03:29 AM PST

    Hello, I would like to ask for help to see if the old Carrion Golem physical can be improved or if - as I have seen on some profiles on Ninjia - the elemental version is better for the dps (in case I would be grateful for a pob where to see the differences).

    This is mine: https://pastebin.com/Mw5EJD0S

    For convenience I have included only unique items aware of the fact that helmet, weapon and gloves should be improved but before investing in new items I wanted help to understand if it is still viable or not.

    An alternative I was considering is to delete the 3 purities for Purity of Elements and insert other auras: determination / grace or flesh & stone + avian for example; earned dps is irrelevant to better survival (not that it's a problem).

    The goal of the build is to farm t16 alch & go maps + master mission and guardians quite quickly.

    Thanks in advance :)

    3.16 builds for headhunter?

    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 03:02 AM PST

    I thought about Winter Orb or Lightning Arrow, but would like to read your advice as well.

    The idea is a zoom zoom build for farming delirium maps that is also tanky enough for endgame bosskilling, if that's possible.

    Things I love that would like to replicate, if possible: old explode chest and fullscreen herald of ice. That's the most fun I had in PoE, so anything that is similar to that is welcome.
