    Explody zoom build with some bossing capabilities ?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 09:40 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I farmed 100ex with my TR raider and I'm no longer in the mood to farm a mageblood since I'll probably be burnt out by then.

    I'm looking for a build with explosion, preferably chaining and if possible with an herald since herald skins are incredible.

    Bossing is not mandatory but a big plus.

    Also I'm currently altar farming in T16 so something that is not bricked by many of the altars downside is great.

    I thought about Worb HoI but I'm pretty sure the bossing is non existent on it so that's a downside. Also omni is really expensive right now so I guess it'd be better suited as a later build.

    Is there any HoI autobomber or something that exist ?

    Anyone has an idea ? Thanks a lot !

    SSF SC (non RF) hand friendly build?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 06:20 AM PDT

    league started with HFT Ascendant and I'm starting to think about a second character. Unfortunately, my autoimmune arthritis has flared up a bunch are league start, so I'm looking for hand friendly builds. I have a problem playing the same build close to each other, so RF is out - unless there is an option noticeably different from playing it as a templar. Thanks!

    Better bosser: Storm brand or Spark Inquis?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 07:55 AM PDT

    Started RF/Fire trap inquisitor and love the tankyness and regen, but after running through T16s and early end game bosses I'm looking for something with better bossing and a more active play style.

    Thinking of converting my inquisitor to spark or storm brand, but looking for advice on which one scales better for bossing? I'm assuming tankyness and Regen would be comparable as both could be built with Aegis+melding, but not sure if that would impact the potential boss/DPS scaling of one more than the other.

    I also considered Dex stacking siege ballista heirophant, but I played a budget version a few leagues ago and it felt pretty squishy and the life regen wasn't comparable to my Inquis. Are there any other non-inquisitor builds that achieve similar levels of straight up regen without relying on lgoh or recovery on block?

    How's everyone with the Starters you picked? (besides the RARE mobs being rippy)

    Posted: 19 May 2022 08:02 PM PDT

    I did pick boneshatter, its quite good. Despite the cheap dirt gears I bought just to map. Smoothly doing t13 and above maps.

    Although after seeing the uber uber bosses from the race, became hesitant to actually invest to my starter. Being that close to the bosses seems to be dangerous af.

    So yeah, anything you guys want to share or discuss with the starters you guys chose. |

    EDIT 1: I love that the discussion is exploding! Most of you guys are either seismic or RF Inqui. I manage to read a very unique one. Earthshatter zerk, unique in a sense that its been ages since I read that someone started with it. GL everyone and hoping one of us can loot a mirror or mageblood this league!

    LS Champion help

    Posted: 20 May 2022 06:27 AM PDT

    So I recently rolled a lightning strike champion, based off of poe.ninja builds, with currency made from my first character, and I frankly have no idea what im doing? I know im missing jewels, that's what I'll be fixing primarily today

    But is there anything else glaring I've done completely wrong? I'm feeling relatively low damage and pretty squishy. I DO have a decent budget to fix the character up.

    Help! I think I've ruined the league for me..

    Posted: 20 May 2022 07:46 AM PDT

    I'm a casual player - I've been playing on and off for a while now. I can only play a couple of hours per day and I'm not that good at minmaxing my time while playing, but as last league was a bit too easy I managed to do finish solo content in the game for the first time.

    This league, I started with bane occ. The dot control mage play style is what I am most comfortable with and it was excellent for this league given its rippy nature. I reached T16s. I farmed a couple of ex and thought I'd switch to forbidden rite cast on crit.

    I knew I didn't have enough currency to get all the expensive stuff, but I had enough to piece together a build with decent defences and 100% crit (which I stupidly thought would be enough). I am missing: watcher's eye with es on hit, lords with 3g 3b, aegis aurora and "hits can't be evaded" enchant on my claw; at least, as far as I can tell from the guides I've read.

    With this setup I can hardly do T9s.. I die way too often and depending on the mods and map tier I barely finish the map.

    Is there anything I can do? Farming the 15ex or so needed to finish the core build seems too hard in low tier maps. Is there any cheaper way to fix the build?

    Is there a low tier map strategy I could use that will give me decent currency without having to play 8+ hours a day? How would I deal with map starvation? Is it even possible to target a map layout in the lower tiers?

    Here's my PoB: https://pastebin.com/eSVLrqJh

    I know it's shit, but that's the question, how do you come back from this? I really like this league but if this doesn't work out I don't think I'll keep playing.

    Beginner here, how do I fix my rf inquisitor build?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 04:41 AM PDT

    Hi, im new to this game and this would be my first league. As of now im trying to follow Pohx's RF pob build. Problem is my rf feels squishy and weak, when i start entering high yellows/low red maps i always die once or twice or more which makes leveling my character slow down. How do I make my build much better while following Pohx's rf pob.
    Mainly I want to get tankier/deal more damage. And as of now I do not know how to make currency so I really cannot upgrade my items fast.

    Here is my pob: https://pastebin.com/gPwicrPQ (its my first time using pob so idk if the link works)

    Simulacrum state in 3.18

    Posted: 19 May 2022 03:25 PM PDT

    Hey guys! What do you think is going on with simulacrum this patch? For instance: i'm playing phantasmal cremation/unearth, 6.1k es, 75/74 true block, 75,80,76 res, aegis, purity of elements, 23k unflasked armor (~50k flasked). No ashes tho because no way I'm paying those ex for amulet. I was able to facetank wave 30 kosis+omni on the that exact setup (WITH ashes tho) last league, mostly independent of the mods on the waves.
    So now I started to think: am I doing something wrong? I started to get one-shotted way more often. Am I playing the game wrong by investing 70% of my character power into defense?
    Maybe the secret of successful simulacrum farm in actually speccing everything into damage and not survivability, a little bit similar to zhps delving concept. Also bigger dps = more reward stacks = more proift?
    What do you think?
    Also, this is a build request, if you have good ideas for simulacrum farming feel free to post!

    TS Character to farm Omni with

    Posted: 20 May 2022 04:43 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    League started Seismic traps (just like everyone else it seems lol) and it was a great character. I finished all bosses besides the uber stuff and I'm ready to play Omni TS...until I see it's rapidly approaching 50ex.

    My request is, is there a speed mapping TS build I can use to farm maps to gain the rest of the currency I need. I'm sitting on about 18 raw exalts in currency and I could liquidate my Seismic trapper for another ~10ex if I had to. Although I'd like to keep it around to run my invitations/guardians with.

    Also, I didn't play last league much so I'm still not very good with the Atlas passives, I've tried looking up different models for bossing, mapping, etc. But if someone has something they're using now that relates to my strategies, I'd love to see it.

    Thank you!

    *EDIt* Or is it better to just keep farming bosses on my trapper for currency until I can comfortably afford omni+some starter gear

    A bit tired of disintegrate "perfect" HC characters...need some help about build usage.

    Posted: 20 May 2022 08:24 AM PDT

    Hi! Hope you dont mint I am writing in this sub, its not a doubt of a build per se but questions about build usage in general.

    I play just for fun, have been playing from first day but keep dying in stupid mistakes. I always play in HC, and have the incredible ability to desintegrate perfectly built characters in seconds.

    I have stil not lose the faith in GGG, there´s a point I think "I am the king of the world and this game is totally balanced, lets try harder", usually 2 or 3 seconds pass and my character just explodes.

    I am not speaking about forgetting the basics (minimun 400 life per act, always res cap, determination or similar, read new boss tactics before entering, etc.).
    Lets forget about some map mods too (that is something about reading carefully and skip map when needed).

    I am speaking about enter a delirium mirror and suddenly see the "perfect char" explode. Or doing betrayals (without much understanding) until you see you create a monster that just disintegrate you char. Metamorph...still have nightmares with that. Heist is fun, you level a lot...until you open a door when you reach certain level and see you are no longer stealing from humans but monster from another dimension that again explodes your char in a sec.
    Still dont have much clue about the new league safety. Have lost some chars this league while using sentinels, but still dont know if it was me (again) or GGG.

    Sorry for the long text. As you see I am having problems with... ALL? league mechanics in hardcore. Not one or two, theres a giant coincidence between me entering a league mechanic and me creating a new char in the next minutes.
    So I come here asking for advice....what are you HC players doing with those mechanics? There is a list of mechanics I should avoid? Its just bad luck? (I really dont think so).
    Some minutes ago a character with 4k life, around 78% all res (chaos too) and 80% armor (determination) entered a delirium mirror and activated a sentinel ON ACT 9 (not even maps!) and again was deleted in 4 seconds. Si I decided to come here asking for help.

    TLDR: Asking for help about which league mechanics should really avoid playing in HC because their chance to delete chars.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    I need help with upgrading my ssf spark inquisitor

    Posted: 20 May 2022 08:09 AM PDT

    Hey together. I am now at a point where i cant figure out where to upgrade. I have a bit problems in T16 maps against special encounter like Legion and Expedition or Sentinel Mobs. Also i am struggle with suvivability. But i think i figured it out while looking at poe ninja buids = i dont have any regen mods on my gear. Maybe i miss something else.

    Here my pob: https://pobb.in/wDGEYo56BxjA

    i even have cluster jewels ready but after change my build in pob i am having 24 mana left and only gain 100k dps and drop from 53k EHP to 39k EHP.

    Help with Seismic Trapper please

    Posted: 20 May 2022 05:50 AM PDT

    Here's my POB: https://pastebin.com/ru99V17w.

    1. I'm prioritising swapping out my chest for a skin of the lords for more defenses but besides that I'm stumped. I can't even level past 91.
    2. Trying to get levels so I can get my 2nd medium cluster but am dying too much
    3. Lightning resist is overcapped to account for the swap to skin of the lords soon

    I'm getting 1 shot in T16s eldritch mobs (they shoot out electricity that 1 shot me) even without the Eldritch Gaze node, it's crazy.

    I can run t16s comfortably but I tend to have many close shaves with death with me spamming my HP flask.

    Any help appreciated, thanks all.

    Next Steps for Bane OC

    Posted: 20 May 2022 07:47 AM PDT

    Here is my pastebin: https://pastebin.com/vhp3h8Jp

    I have been playing Bane OC for 3.18 and really enjoy the build. I've got great clear right now, expect for single target/bosses. Recently I got a drop and now have more currency than I have ever had in 50 exalts give or take a few.

    I'd like to make some upgrades to my build currently looking at influences apothecary gloves, +5 chaos multi staff, and 6link chest with +1spell/+1support. However I don't want to immediately blow my stack. I'd prefer to find upgrades at a bargain. So in that case any recommendations for good upgrades maybe something unorthodox I'm not thinking about like intuitive leap or the new notable leap unique jewel. Any help or discussion is appreciated, thanks!

    Cold conversion minion as occultist would it be good ?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 07:32 AM PDT

    So i played around with this in the past but never had the items or currency to make it happen. I have had a really nice 3.18 so far and have some spare currency that could be used to get this started.

    The whole idea is scaling minions using elemental weakness + frostbite with lots of curse effect to give enemies really low cold res. 4 green Tribal grip makes our minion 100% cold damage and scale really nice with the curse. Then profane bloom makes us have really nice clear.

    Or is it basically just better to go despair and focus on akali's fang and go full on chaos damage / spider minions ?

    Thanks

    Improving damage on Holy Relic Necro

    Posted: 20 May 2022 02:22 AM PDT

    Based my build around Ghazzy's guide to holy relic, and that went well enough. After I added The Stampede to my build I felt things starting to take off and the build became much more enjoyable to play. However, while I feel my defenses are good enough, my dps could be improved for better clear (and defense as a result when faced against huge sentinel buffed packs). Does anyone know how to scale holy relic from here on? My budget is only around 2-3ex (so Ashes and Aegis Aurora are out of the question) Also, would The Traitor be a good option for infinite elemental flask use? (topaz, sapphire and ruby) https://pastebin.com/y934spbL

    Why is Set and Forget popular with Seismic Trap builds?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 04:58 AM PDT

    My friend and I were discussing this and we can't understand why Set and Forget is so popular. The increased AoE should hurt overlap now, yeah? Since so many people use it I figure there's something I'm missing, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. Arcane Pyrotechnics paired with Set and Forget is expensive but with Guerilla Tactics it's absurdly cheap, despite the latter seeming so much better. Help me understand (or get the word out if I'm on to something here)

    Thanks!

    Looking for something with really strong mapping/survivability that can at least complete a boss every once in awhile

    Posted: 20 May 2022 10:45 AM PDT

    Trying to find my place this league, I have around 35ex and just not enjoying my current build. I'm really enjoying blasting maps so I'd like to make a mapper I enjoy but I also want to be able to at least run the exarch/eater every now and again when they come up. I'm not looking to blow up bosses just be able to do them without dying. Any suggestions?

    SSF beginner, just looted an Aegis should i reroll ?

    Posted: 20 May 2022 10:35 AM PDT

    Hello reddit, as the title say i just looted an Aegis Aurora shield. I'm currently playing a CF glad so the shield isn't a good combo cause i loose my +1 all phys spell shield. So the questions are :

    Should i reroll to a build that scale well with this shield ? Any build suggestion ?(RF inq ?) Lightning strike champion was a build i wanted to try does it work with it ?

    I was planning to reroll anyway (don't like the squishyness and the low boss dps) so it's not a big problem to reroll.

    Thanks for reading !
