    Ask any simple questions here that don't warrant their own post.

    Good question for this page: "Why do some non-minions builds take minions nodes?"

    Question that should have its own post: "How do I improve my build?"

    Is aura stacking totally dead or just a bit worse now ?

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 08:11 AM PST

    So I like the idea of the build and the weird creative pathing on the tree and also finding slots for all the gems. I see the odd necro aura stacker with triple purity and minions when i do trades, however it seems the more popular option is spark assedenct. Using rings for Lightning to cold and nebulous to get lots of damage from purity of Ice and purity of Lightning. I know the aura effect clusters are not a thing anymore however you can still reach 83% ele res and get loads of ES from Disipline and regen from vitality.

    I kind of want to play the build, however I'm not sure if it's just going to be silly expensive for something only slightly strong than playing a regular minion or spark build.

    Thanks

    First time Bleed Bow Glad user needs advice

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 05:09 AM PST

    Hi all,

    As I am a glutton for punishment, I dcided I didn't want to do skelly mages and have an easy league start and instead chose the Bleed Bow Gladiator, which I must admit I have been really enjoying. It has had decent map clear and not too bad single target damage up until t13/14 maps. Until today I was running pride instead of determination, but was way too rippy so dropped pride and started with determination to try and give myself some more armour. This has worked, but it's ruined my damage.

    My plan next is to get a ryslatha's and a Curse on hit ring, but will also need to rejig my resis to counter the loss from my belt change.

    I guess I need to drop back down to t10 (ish) maps and farm up some currency to invest into some better gear, but if there's something I'm blatantly missing please let me know.

    https://pastebin.com/XRbVDnxK is my PoB.

    Thanks very much in advance!!

    My league starter- week 1 update: BBBF Chief. 5m+ DPS, 6k life, 80% res, max block, 50%+ supression

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 11:31 AM PST

    You can push this up to 6-7m with level 5 awakened gems, a -% fire res helm ,and a explode/additional curse chest. You will take the skitterbots unique ring and throw in elemental weakness in place of chill.

    Alot of improvements can be made with more currency, more chaos res/spell supression, etc.

    ​

    Day 1 had around 1.5m dps, max block, little under 5k life, 77% res.

    Just thought Id share if anyone wants to try this out I had a great time since league start with this - If you hate dying and like to pump this is 100% something you should check out

    Question about Skelleton Mage

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 05:57 AM PST

    Hello Exiles,

    I'm starting as a Absolution necro. Do you have any advice when i need to convert over to Skelle mages? Yellow or Red maps ? Or is the Absolution build better than Skelleton Mages ?

    Thanks for the help :)

    Trying to build a Divine Ire Assassin cause i like big beams

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 10:09 AM PST

    Affordable version: https://pobb.in/erQXBJLDolM-

    High budget (not minmaxed) version: https://pobb.in/g0dqfvK1JI6Q

    Both are alright in damage and survivability but both could be improved. Biggest issue is no immuinities to anything (not to ailments, not to stuns, not to corrupted blood, nothing) except the low hanging fruits (just freeze from pantheon i suppose) and i'm not sure how to slot them in. Particularly stun immunity i feel would be mandatory

    EDIT: it's also lacking recovery, flasks and ghost dance are all i've got. Any ideas on how to fix that?

    Anyone willing to improve on this?

    Anyone have a solid POB or Guide for Zerker Rage Vortex bosser?

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 09:36 AM PST

    Title. I was following a youtube video for a Rage Vortex Zerker. Comfortably got to red maps before I hit a wall. im realizing that im not really too sure on what I should be looking to upgrade.

    Ideally, if anyone has any info on what an endgame RV Zerker looks like, what kinda gear is "required", and/or possibly some crafting tips. That would be greatly appreciated.

    Deadeye gathering winds node

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 05:03 AM PST

    So the wording of the ascendancy node is weird to me. Screenshot - https://i.imgur.com/VsNpU45.png It also differs from pob (which does not have line "8% increased action speed").

    As I understand, you get:

    • Just "8% increased action speed"
    • Then 8% action speed from Tailwind
    • And extra 12% action speed from 10 stacks of Gale Force

    Is this correct or no?

    Best Gull build for mapping?

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 08:26 AM PST

    Dropped a Gull in SSF, am playing EA totem now (sad its not sub meta anymore, but oh well 😂😂) and looking for a second build to just go crazy on maps with and sustain the costs of shrine rolling almost every map. I think CF would be good, maybe raider LA, what else comes to mind for a t16 mapper to zoom on a Gull and hope a Blundebore drops?

    Explosive Arrow DPS, Hit Chance, and Faster Attack Support

    Posted: 10 Feb 2022 08:38 PM PST

    Hey guys, new poster here. EA Ballista Ignite seems to be the most popular league starter this league, and many people have talked about its mechanics already. I'm a pretty new and casual player so I've just been lurking here, but this build got me quite intrigued and I wanted to add to what people already wrote about. Since POB only provides the DPS for 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 fuses and most players hit different breakpoints, I came up with a basic spreadsheet to calculate the DPS for any number of fuses based on your 1 fuse DPS in POB:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RywjpEeFb_Xr8aUXNZykA-Q5x8x0QZPqAO5bbE8hTaw/edit?usp=sharing

    It's no surprise that more fuses are better. We do get some diminishing returns on each additional fuse because the explosion almost scales linearly with the fuses. However, we can go further. I think other posts and videos already talked about hitting your breakpoints based on your attack speed, max totem, fuse duration, but hit chance hasn't been talked about as much and for good reason. You should cap it. It's bigger DPS, and the math is easier for us who like that kind of things. From a starter stand point, getting more accuracy might be hard on gearing, budget, sockets, skill points, etc., at least if you are like me and don't really know what you're doing. I added a second tab to the spreadsheet to calculate your breakpoints, and based on your hit chance, it also calculates the probability of you stacking a given number of fuses on a stationary enemy. We know the DPS for each number of fuses, and the probability of each happening, so we can get an expected value of what your DPS might look like. I think POB just introduced a new Weighted Avg Ailment formula in the latest release, but I haven't really looked into it and it's probably too advanced for me, so I will just say expected value to not confuse between the two. It might not be totally accurate but I think it's pretty close to true DPS.

    From playing around with this, I think hit chance is more important for characters that cannot stack 20 fuses, and many players wouldn't be able to hit that breakpoint at the start. You would lose quite a bit of DPS as long as you are not capped, and for my Elementalist character which stack 18 fuses, I would lose almost a whole fuse at 95% hit chance. Getting that higher might be pretty intensive on mana reservation and getting accuracy rolls on gear. If you can get your next breakpoint and get 24 shots at stacking 20 fuses however, you can have pretty bad hit chance and still reach your max DPS, because you can miss 4 times. At even 85% hit chance, my DPS drops right between 20 fuses and 19 fuses. At 95% hit chance, my DPS is basically the same as the DPS with capped hit chance.

    So should you use Faster Attack Support? Bigger attack speed is better qol on accuracy and more fuses right? Actually, I think it could be good, as long as using Faster Attack reliably gets you to the next breakpoint, even if you theoretically only get 2 more fuses from 18 to 20. Shout out to Palsteron and his video here because it basically gave me the idea to look into the DPS. He mentioned that he swapped deadly ailments with added cold damage since deadly ailments kills the hit part of the damage. At lower investment, the hit damage is pretty significant so deadly ailments is not as good as it seems. And because he didn't want to chrome his bow, he can only choose green gems. According to POB, top DPS damage support (besides Swift Affliction because that kills your skill duration and you should not use it) seems to be added cold. For my build, added cold as the 5th link seems to be about 20% more damage. On the other hand, with Faster Attack, I go from 18 to 20 fuses with onslaught up. And that gets me about 26% more damage. For the Hierophant and other 7 totem players out there, jumping from 14 to 20 is massive, but hitting that breakpoint for you might not be that hard in the first place. Of course in the endgame, you would want to swap out Faster Attack for a damage support like Deadly Ailments, and get your attack speed elsewhere. You can do the calculation for your character and decide which support to use, or even what gear to upgrade. Just download or make a copy of the spreadsheet, and put in your POB numbers in the highlighted boxes.

    This probably just applies to your league starters and the newer players. I wish I have done this earlier but like many others, I didn't decide on a build until the league started. For you end game players, your POB is enough and does the calculation better. You should have capped hit chance and 20 fuses. It's my first time playing Explosive Arrow so I might have mistakes in the calculation, and I would welcome any feedback.

    TL;DR: Explosive Arrow fuses = good. Attack speed and hit chance = good. Get accuracy if you don't stack 20 fuses, but try to get to that breakpoint.

    Help with 1st build try

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 04:21 AM PST

    Hello everyone, I am a noob and I was trying to create a build on my own with cheap uniques and a frenzy skill gem and facebreakers.

    But I can't get any damage on my build. Please 🙏 if anyone can just take a look at this PoB and tell me why I have no damage and also no impale damage...

    What else should I change in the build or just throw it away??

    Also I will add flasks later as I have no idea what I am supposed to do...

    My skele mage build is lacking survivability and has mediocre damage!

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 11:41 AM PST

    I tried sirus today, failed twice and lost 140c buying frags. I've done the fight numerous times during other leagues and it just felt absolutely bad with my current build. idk what I should upgrade, I'm just a casual player dreaming of a PoE pro's reality. I don't use animate guardian btw, cant afford big ticket items and the cheap ones just cause the guardian to die asap. if anyone can help out, give some advice or point me in the right direction to get help id greatly appreciate it.

    Build does not work. What am I missing? Please help!

    Posted: 11 Feb 2022 11:19 AM PST

    First off, my character in PoB: https://pastebin.com/n1XPHcC4

    ​

    This is probably a very noob question (and I'm not sure if this is the right place), but I can't figure it out. I started this league by building Jungroan's Perfect Agony Nightblade Spectral Helix build (PoB: https://pastebin.com/SGUsbKeP ). But I can't seem to make it work. I itemized very close to the PoB I got here, yet I am at about 75% of their evasion, 50% of the armor and about 7% of the damage in Jungroan's PoB, the damage being what bothers me the most.

    ​

    Feel like I'm going crazy. I allocated all the same points, looked for items with similar stats. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
