    Before the Patch Notes, which builds are you looking forward to play next league?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2022 02:14 AM PDT

    3.18 came out without a balance patch (besides drop rates which definitely have an effect on the meta, but anyway), so I assume 3.19 Patch Notes will be HUGE.

    If the balances allow it, which builds/archetypes are you looking forward to play?

    Pastebin = https://pastebin.com/7eS5qzEe

    I'm basically trying to see how much ES I can get while maintaining minimum of 10 mil dps (just so the build can actually do things like ubers (albeit not terribly quickly lol))

    Any suggestions on how I could (realistically) push it future is welcome!!

    (For those who haven't seen my previous post(s); it's just another generic but legacy STR stacking build running FR. It's only possible on standard as far as I'm aware (though who knows with recombinators how strong stuff will get))

    Happy mapping, exiles!

    PS I'm happy to answer any questions if anyone was curious about any particular aspect of the build!

    Build for Sirus

    Posted: 22 Jul 2022 02:35 AM PDT

    I've tried to beat Sirus around 5 or 6 times on my crit saboteur, and I can't beat his third phase. I don't understand how I can ever dps his last phase. The first two are just easy, and then he roids up and fucks me raw. I might just suck, but is there a build out there that is easier to beat him with? I probably have around 20ex (I'm a pleb and bad, ok). If it's just a matter of getting better at the fight, I understand that too, and will go back to blowing currency into frags. It seems like a fun fight, and I like the mechanics from the first two phases, and even the third, it just seems like there's never a point where I can actually dps.

    Any off-meta league starting suggestions?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 07:39 PM PDT

    I been thinking of doing a lvl1 to 90 practice run on something like EDC since its off meta and it will very unlikely get nerfed. Due to the new atlas tree and how its progression work I think making a fast and cheap mapper might work better for me since I dont really care much about bossing.

    You guys got any suggestions?

    How do i stop playing profane bloom builds?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 05:19 AM PDT

    Since i discovered profane bloom +3 years ago i am playing profane bloom build for the past every single league.

    I usually try play new build every league but when i reach the maps i miss the pop sounds and chain clear. Every builds i tired feels inferior compared to profane bloom.

    I convert or create occultist when i reach lvl 90 and play few days, get bored because its a same playstyle for the last 3 years and i stop playing.

    I tried stuff like sporeguard, inpulsa, asenath, explody chest but nothing feels like profane bloom.

    Only stuff i didn't try was herald of ice because these builds are very expensive to build and scale.

    How do i stop playing profane bloom builds, and play other builds?

    Thanks

    Thoughts on FastAF 1 ex series?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 10:34 AM PDT

    Here's the playlist's link.

    FastAF has a deserved bad reputation, but the builds presented in this format seems fine :

    • Honest cost
    • Accessible PoB (not gated behind patreon)
    • Red-map capable
    • No 0% xp bar

    For example this coc ice nova build seems pretty good for early in the league.

    It is squishy but it should be fine until the shavronne transition.

    So is there anything that I'm missing and would make this builds a trap?

    Are there any skills that even with 100ex investment are still bad?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2022 03:14 AM PDT

    Bad could be: - poor gameplay experience - bad damage - dies a lot (more than the occasional 1shot)

    How much additional exalts would it take to fix it?

    (And it wouldn't count to add mageblood or other generic items that resolve all build issues)

    non-Crit Winter Orb Raider is viable for simple Delve/Heist?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2022 02:58 AM PDT

    I'm working on my build for 3.19.

    I want to shake a bit my usual goals so I was thinking in going for an SSF build focused on Heist/Delve.

    My thoughts for such a starter build is:

    1. Going with Raider for the
      1. Easy Phasing
      2. Fast with Onslaught
      3. Fairly defensive with easy spell suppression and ailment immunity scaling
    2. Going with Winter Orb as it
      1. Is a skill that's capable of dealing damage on the run
      2. Should be relatively safe with chill/freeze

    Here's my tentative POE Planner link https://poeplanner.com/b/g07

    This is a starter Tree and so, no crit scaling.

    I haven't tried Winter Orb seriously so I would love any feedback on whether this idea makes sense.

    I expect it to be an awful bosser but should be ok for Delve/Heist, no?

    Newish player needing help with energy blade CoC inq first time mapping

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 08:02 PM PDT

    I've played on and off for years, however this league is the first where I've actually reached maps. I know energy blade is bad lol, I just wanted to try and make it work. I was following an outdated build guide for CoC with freezing pulse but I tried my best to tweak it to work with Arc for clearing and swapping in Blazing Salvo for bossing.

    I keep getting one shot in both white and yellow maps. To the best of my knowledge tinkering with PoB, I'm guessing I keep getting killed by chaos damage but I'm not sure. What are the best steps are to combat this (if that is what's killing me)? Any advice or changes to the build would be much appreciated.

    Question: I last played in January. Did something change that makes spectral throw good? (better?)

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 08:50 PM PDT

    I see a couple posts in the last few months talking about using spectral throw. I can't seem to find patch notes on any changes on it. Did anything happen that makes spectral throw better than before? Thx

    CwC VD Inquisitor - Simulacrum 30 double boss

    How well does spark inq scale through the midgame?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 06:56 PM PDT

    Hi folks,

    I'm in that stage of the league where I'm not playing and just waiting for the next one. I usually jump on a new SSF char and play a few acts to see how the early levelling of a build I've never tried feels. I saw I'mexile's spark inq run vid and tried it myself a few days ago and loved it. I was really surprised how well it crushed bosses on a 3L and how safe the gameplay was once you have a little bit of cast speed.

    I know spark inq has pretty much no ceiling with endless investment options but I was wondering how it plays through the midgame gear build up. Do you stall in maps without getting some good drops? Are there any warnings people who have league started it have for me?

    RF/FT Build SSF, just a showcase of what I achieved

    RF/FT Build SSF, just a showcase of what I achieved

    Hello guys, what's up.

    First time trying hard playing SSF, and i very proud of my achievement so far, and just wanna show what i manage to gather with 1 week playing at it, around 5-6 hours a day.

    https://pastebin.com/G7jUf0Bp

    I got lucky with the helmet recomb to get most of the important mods, and at the end i will try to remove prefix, add suffix and try to get +1 level of AoE gems.

    I also need the life as extra es craft on armour, have already veiled more then 50-70 bases and couldn't get one, made a mistake to not farm betrayal on act 9.

    Still planning on getting a watchers eye that is usefull for me, and a legion jewel.

    Besides that, i've killed Maven, Elder, Shaper, UElder, Sirus.

    Its definitely not my goal to kill Uber Uber content, but i will try at some point.

    Hope you guys like what I've built, if u have any comments or suggestions i would appreciate it

    Looking for help improving my go-to league starter

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 11:05 AM PDT

    https://pastebin.com/RVei9gbZ

    Hello, I fell in love with crit Rolling Magma Inquisitor a few leagues back and have been playing it almost exclusively since. It's dirt cheap to get into reds, clears very nicely, bosses decently, and has excellent growth potential. I usually just follow build guides so my knowledge is limited, and that certainly became an issue as this ability is pretty unpopular.

    I don't usually accrue a large wealth, so ideally any upgrade would not exceed 20ex. I don't have much crafting experience, so making niche gear might be out of my scope. It's definitely teetering on the edge of minimum survivability, so I wouldn't forego much by way of defenses. That being said, Shadowstitch is IMO a must-have as it constantly keeps me topped off in the thickest of maps.

    Thank you very much!

    Trying to revive Eye of Winter Slinger

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 08:02 AM PDT

    Now that league is winding down, I'm playing a lot of different builds for fun while we wait for 3.19. One build I had a ton of fun with a couple leagues ago, was Eye of Winter / Hydrosphere slinger. Obviously, hydrosphere was nerfed and it essentially killed the build since you could no longer consistently shotgun the projectiles from EoW anymore.

    I admittedly haven't messed with Tornado at all. But I'm aware it has the ability to shotgun projectiles from Spark and Tornado Shot, and other skills I'm sure.

    Anyways, my question: If you were to go Deadeye (grab +1 chain ascendancy), couldn't you in theory chain the EoW proj from the boss, to the tornado (cast off spellslinger) and back to the boss?

    I feel like if it was possible, people would be doing it. EoW slinger was very popular for a while and I can't imagine if it was possible there would be 0 people playing it per PoE.ninja. But I figured I would hear out ideas from people with more game knowledge than me. Thanks!

    Ways to mitigate physical damage without armour and endurance charges?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 03:52 PM PDT

    Since I'm crap at crafting and making currency, I took a PConc PF build and reworked it to my liking. I removed all the armour and rely mostly evasion and spell suppression.

    But because of that, I have crap physical resistance.

    So by using a taste of hate flask, a watcher's eye with phys damage taken as cold, and an essence of horror on a chest to have phys damage taken as cold, I end up with 45% of phys damage taken as cold.

    I'm also using immortal call but I still have literally 0 armour so I'm afraid any kind of physical hit that I don't evade will hit me really hard.

    So what can I do to be able to handle a bit more physical damage? Right of the bat I'm thinking I could replace my surging vitality cluster jewel with an enduring composure one, I guess that would help a bit but that's the only thing I can think of.

    Can you guys show me the way to advance? Blast Rain Pathfinder

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 03:39 PM PDT

    https://pastebin.com/X7m9cHXZ

    Basically I'm always up my flasks and have onslaught always up from synth ring;Forbidden flame and flesh to create 3 mirage archers so I can just zoom zoom while they do the work;With onslaught on hit, I didn't need a silver flask, so I got a really good potion that just overkill my resistances.

    What are you guys thought on this? Should I change my bow to a Phy + Chaos and change my skill tree to play toxic rain?

    What about my items? I'm going to probably change gloves, helmet and boots. Should I stack some armour? Is there a potion I should change?

    ps: This is the funniest build I've played in a while.

    ps2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tR3BbqFHCE I recorded this. My computer isn't that good, my Internet neither and I was playing with the recording hud over the minimap...

    Need some help becoming a little less squishy in maps.

    Posted: 21 Jul 2022 07:14 AM PDT

    I made a Cast on Crit ice spear dead eye. I can do t16 maps just fine, but every like 3-4 maps I encounter some crazy rare mob that just oneshots me, or when i empower them with a sentinel they sometimes just get too strong. Is this because i'm full evasion and lack phys damage reduction?

    In game says i have 100% spell supression (POB says 91% for some reason). For some reason POB shows different resistance and spell suppresion numbers then when i'm in game.

    What is the best for me to change gear or tree wise to become a little more durable without losing too much DPS, since my DPS isn't very high (around 2-3 mill).

    My POB : https://pastebin.com/Y8NMgyGB
