    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?"

    Dropped a cool Circle of Guilt, what would be a fun build to play with it?

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 08:08 PM PST

    Someone doubted my claim that 5L non-crit Herald of Thunder was able to take down Mastermind without GG gear or Awakened Gems. Here's the proof.

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 01:37 AM PST

    Follow on from my last post

    https://youtu.be/vIRWXz8xVas

    PoB at the time of recording: https://pastebin.com/nWvrXxCQ

    • I simulated L88 worth of points by unspeccing a whole large cluster and some points. Could probably drop lower but meh.
    • No awakened gems, only 20/20 regular gems used
    • Inpulsa and the staff were both 6L but only 5 slots filled to simulate 5L, the staff was essentially a 2 mod item.
      • 5L Inpulsa is about 40c
      • 5L Battery Staff is 10c, you can either roll your own +3 Lightning Spells on it with metallic fossils or get one from trade
      • Max lightning roll Algor is going for 5c.
      • non-corrupted max roll inward eye 20c, corrupted 5c if you have the vaals to recolour
      • +1 amulet a few c, anoint oils (gold silver amber) about 40c worth.
    • The anom gems in the PoB are because I was too lazy to try to find 20/20 regular versions. The overall benefit of Anom give you min/max and only adds a small benefit to offense/defense.
    • The belt and boots are there for resistances mostly, you can probably get better for some essence spams and/or cheap.
    • I have one large cluster setup -
      • Doryani's with 2 other notables which costs under an exalt in league. I could swap to Doryani's Invitation belt and use a different cluster in that spot to be even cheaper, once I fixed resistances.
      • a 2-notable medium with chilling presence is 10c, if you want a second decent notable it's 20c.
      • Enduring Composure 2 passive cluster costs 20c
      • Lone Messenger cluster costs 5c or so

    In other words, I'm using about 3-4 exalts or so worth of gear and jewels give or take the boots. You can probably get away with less if you essence craft yourself or use Doryani's Invitation belt for leech.

    This is almost the same build I used in 3.16 to clear mastermind, from there I sold the aisling and other crafts which allowed for upgrades.

    Best next Upgrades for Skele Mage Bossing

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 02:19 AM PST

    Hi

    I'm unsure, what to upgrade next for my skele mage build. Here are the upgrades I thought about:

    • Quality on support gems and Sniper's Mark - 1-2 ex
    • Awakened minion Damage lvl 5 - 4ex
    • Wand with +2 to gems - 8ex?
    • Get a Animate guardian - Costs about 2-3 ex? Is there a good cheap version? I'm a bit afraid of loosing 2-3 ex
    • 6 more levels - 2 16% minion nodes + 2 sockets - Jewel cost about 40c?
    • Get mana reservation efficany on helmet for aspect of the spider or precision - Cost ?
    • 21/20 Vall Skeletons - Cost 14 ex

    I mainly want to farm bosses and Invitations. PoB tells me I have about 5.4 millions dps, which is nice, but I dont think is enough for good Invitation farming. Which upgrades would you prioritise and which did I miss? Are there useful flasks for the build?

    Current Budget is about 5ex

    Here is my Pob: https://pastebin.com/Lq8UVPac

    Proof of concept: Fanaticism Inquisitor w/ Divergent Berserk vs Wave 30 Simulacrum

    Crackling Lance Inquisitor - Simple, Tanky, does it all

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 05:01 PM PST

    Hey guys, since I'm nearing the end of my league journey I figured I'd share the build I league started with -- a Crackling Lance Inquisitor. I pretty much cleared all content in the game that I wanted to (near everything outside of sim30, did not attempt a simulacrum) and I loved that it was near-immortal. I initially followed some concepts from CaptainLance9 so shoutout to him and his youtube channel.

    My goal was to make an immortal Inquisitor that had enough DPS to comfortably and quickly farm juiced t16s and tackle all the endgame bosses with relative ease. The character has 85% to all maximum resistances (melding of the flesh), max block w/ glancing blows, ES gain on block (from aegis aurora), 25k+ armour with buffs rolling, and 1000+ life/es regen.

    I had two initial concerns when I league started: 1) Crackling Lance aoe/clear and cast speed. Clear was solved thanks to the new eldritch implicits as shock prolif on rare gloves + Inpulsa gives us satisfying, nearly screenwide explode. Cast speed was largely solved through gearing and fanaticism. I use forbidden flesh/flame Instruments of Zeal to get fanaticism which makes mapping super fun and bossing a lot easier (just rev it up while the boss is RP'ing). Our DPS ends up at around 10-11 mil with all buffs up (Flasks, Fanaticism, Sigil) and probably around 5-8 million without buffs. The latter is a more reliable number because you don't always have ideal conditions (sigil/fanaticism notably), but it's useful to know what the top end number is when you ramp up in a full fanaticism window.

    My gear is pretty minmaxed (though there's still a lot of room for even better rares), but the build isn't that expensive. The items are all fairly generic and the most expensive piece was crafting my wand.

    Conc effect or trap and mine dmg for seismic trap

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 03:32 AM PST

    Hi i've been following Lolcohol's seismic trapper build but I'm wondering if I'm able to swap out increased critical strike support for either concentrated effect or trap and mine damage.

    My current build basically has no increased aoe except for chain reaction (23 radius) .https://pastebin.com/Eu9PArBM. Currently considering getting a elevated crit rare armor with additional curse to get the 100% crit.

    Anyone have experience using either of them and which they prefer?

    3.17 Aurastacker - Pushing the endgame, need improvements

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 10:41 PM PST

    POB: https://pastebin.com/vNMNdzgp (config might be wrong)

    Lethal Pride is 10% DD and 10% reduced damage from crits

    Hi, here's an aurastacker Sparker I've been working on. Got it to decent levels of DPS. Survivability is still lacking but I'm planning on getting Vaal Discipline soon along with a better Vaal Regalia since mine has awful ES on it.

    I'm looking to push super-endgame content (i.e. Simulacrums, T16 Delis etc) and I'm looking for advice on what to work on next. My survivability is still pretty bad, and DPS is good but I'm sure it can be improved too.

    I've never done an aurastacker before this league and I just wanted something new to try out. Are there any obvious improvements I can make that would significantly help DPS or survivability? The obvious one here is Headhunter, but I'm just not interested in playing an HH build this league and want to make it work without one.

    Any advice would be appreciated since it would save me (likely) multiple exalts of testing things out myself. Note that POB calcs are not fully accurate - I don't have 266 unreserved mana, but I don't know what's up with it.

    Looking at POENinja, a lot of people seem to be fitting higher level Vitality and Precision auras as well, which I wasn't able to fit into my build - I went with Determination for survivability over Defiance Banner as most builds do, since Defiance Banner didn't seem to be giving me much armor (not a lot of base armor outside of flasks)

    Again, help would be appreciated since I've never done this build before and might be missing some major obvious things in the build. I think overall it's built properly though!

    Thanks

    Looking for a Bosser to learn "newer" fights.

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 04:32 AM PST

    Hello everyone.

    I'd like to ask for some suggestion regarding a bossing build.

    My priority would be tankyness/recovering from hits because I do want to learn the newer fights but specifically Maven is on my radar and the special Invitations.

    I don't require extreme DPS but I'd like to be at a point where it's comfortable. Again, my focus would be regen and mitigation.

    Budget wise I'd like to start not too high, maybe 5ex and then work for upgrades by killing bosses.

    Preferrably NOT a Miner/Trapper (specifically not Seismic) or DoTs. Minions would be okay but not my favs. ES, Life I don't care.

    Just throw some suggestions at me, thx :)

    Are there any good, synergistic DPS builds?

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 04:31 AM PST

    So, my friend wants to play. But he wants to and I quote, "We should try and do a duo build like something we can use to buff each other." and I'm having a hard time thinking of DPS builds that buff each other. We typically just play random DPS builds.

    SSF Ice Trapper - Endgame on a budget (Video Guide)

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 04:30 AM PST

    Link to the video guide
    Link to the PoB

    Hey guys. It's been awhile since I made a video guide, but I'm rather happy with how easily my character progressed. I've done most endgame content bar Maven, but that's mostly due to the fact that I didn't have time to play the last few days. There aren't a lot of people playing this build right now, but it's fairly strong. It's been one of my smoothest SSF leaguestarts.

    The build can easily take down endgame on a budget or SSF gear because I've specifically built it to do exactly that and because Ice Trap got a pretty substantial buff this patch. The info in the video guide can also be found in the notes of the PoB, so you don't have to listen to me talk if you don't want to. I just know that some people enjoy a video guide more than a written one.

    There's a Maven Witnessed Uber Elder kill and a dual Guardian kill on a rippy map at the end. Hope it's of use to someone! Enjoy <3

    Zoomy build for ~30-40ex starting budget

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 04:29 AM PST

    Dropped a House of mirrors from a stacked deck and have another 10ex or so saved up so I wanted to try out a fast build for mapping, preferably that scales decently so I can keep dumping currency into it (I'm playing skelly mages atm so I'm pretty happy with my bossing ability).

    My first thought was LS zerker/raider, but happy to hear any other suggestions, or which LS ascendancy I should choose (No CF TS glad pls, I played it last league, and I'd like to try something different)

    Newbies here, How can I improve my damage?

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 03:12 AM PST

    https://pastebin.com/HkCq3Jmi This is my KB/CF Champion build

    I'm new to this game and follow Ruetoo's build on youtube

    And i saw in poe.ninja that some guy with similar gear to mine reach 1m dps easily, while mine hasn't reach even 100k dps

    Any tips on improving my damage without losing my currently tankiness because I love how tanky I'm right now.

    Sorry for my english And thank you

    Anomalous Detonate Dead CwC Corpsewalker - a PoB and some questions on mechanics

    Posted: 18 Feb 2022 03:08 AM PST

    After toying around with various DD options, I've stumbled upon Noteworthy Interactions #8 and used some of the ideas as a foundation for a Necro I've been leveling. I'm pretty happy with the result, but there are some gaps I'd like to close.

    https://pastebin.com/w8qFVi6Z (this is more or less the current state of my build, not a fully optimized version, which would probably include indancesent heart and 20/20 gems as well as some gem upgrades, i.e. awakened supports and alt quality withering step).

    Some key ideas of the build:

    • Full Fire to chaos conversion using Anomalous DD and Ashes of the Stars
    • Chance to poison at 100% using Divergent Herald of Agony (with a circle of Nostalgia) and Ashes of the Stars
    • Scale damage off Wither effect and Corpse Life
    • High Block chance thanks to lvl 20 cwdt Bone Offering
    • Very good ES recovery/mitigation thanks to Aegis Aurora, high Armour and Divine Shield & 10k Mollten Shell temp HP
    • Good automation thanks to CwC and Corpse Walker
    • Not very zoomy, but my focus is on tanky boss performance.

    These are my questions regarding conversion and DD & spectres:

    1. When converting elemental damage to chaos damage, will the "increased elemental damage" mods also apply to the poison damage?
    2. It looks like Void Manipulation is slightly better than Elemental Focus Support. This is probably only due to the added Chaos damage from the ring, correct?
    3. Are there any obvious optmizations in the tree pathing, in regards to dps?
    4. The weapon slot is very flexible, I've gone for an ele damage sceptre. If there are other viable weapon choices (Dark Seer was looking interesting too), please let me know.
    5. What should I do with my spectres? It looks like they die a lot anyway. Can I just keep an unsupported spectre gem to make sure there's a chance of spawning corpses from my spectres? Do I need to have an active spectre at the start of the map to get its corpse to spawn?
    6. Which are the right spectres and how many past spectres are "remembered" by Corpse walk?
    7. How do I set up PoB correctly that I'll get a realistic dps estimation? (In particular, what do I put in for corpse life?)
    8. Once PoB is set up properly, which of the Dot related anoints do I take? Or do I just go with sanctuary? (I just realized that pathing to Santurary, unspeccing off the Atrophy, but picking up Brutal Blade is only a slight dip in DPS, but ends up at 75/71 block chance and a lot of resists.)
    9. Any ideas on how to cap the block chance? I'm at 68/65 with bone offering & full endurance charges, which is already pretty good, but getting to cap would be nice.
    10. The Megalomaniac is a kind of place holder - if you can think of other interesting cluster jewel notables worth including, please let me know.
