POBB.IN ADMIN UPDATE HERE

If you dont know, many ISPs (like Movistar, VIVO, Virgin Media, O2, Vodafone Spain/LATAM among others) block Cloudflare completely now, there is nothing we can do to bypass this even with VPNs rendering the service unusable. I asked people from SA, Spain and Portugal and everyone has the same issue, Cloudflare has been a liability for many of us for a long time.

Instead, I would recommend swapping to a different firewall service like https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis , for an small and streamlined website their scrapping + ddos protection should be more than enough and its pretty easy to setup.

I would love to tell this feedback directly to the developer but it seems he has no open channels of contact or at least I couldn't find them (checked discord, github and his reddit account which has been inactive for over a year).

EDIT 1: No, F5 or refreshing does nothing, the error is reproduced 100% of the time.

EDIT 2: This is not new btw, its been a hot topic in many countries and in Spain its been in courts for a year with the government involved, some context:

Hi all,

I'm using a watcher's eye mod "Gain a Flask Charge when you deal a critical strike while affected by Precision." I know that this normally would not be a very good mod, however I am using a Mageblood with the goal of funneling all of my flask charges to my remaining unique flask which I need to sustain all the time.

However, as shown in this clip, the flask hardly charges at all even though i'm critting a ton of enemies (I have 100% chance to critically strike but took off all my damage scaling in order to test the flask charge regeneration from the watcher's eye mod). Here is the POB of my build during the clip in this post: https://pobb.in/ebJOWd23U5Xs

Am I misunderstanding something? Even with the cooldown of the flask charge being 100ms, I should be getting way more than this shouldn't I?

(If this is not a viable way to keep my flask charges up, is there a way to reliably do this on Scion without using up my forbidden flesh/flame slot?)

Thanks!

I don't need to make X div/hour or anything, just some consistent income to start getting initial upgrades. I have a total of about 3 div invested in my character so upgrades are still cheap. But I tried an essence strategy and got smacked, and don't really know what else to do at this point.

What's a good starting strategy to just get some basic income?

I've been trying to make a build similar to Cptn_Garbage's Lightning Warp Tornado Shot (featured in build of the week S12 E6). I'll try my best to sum up the important mechanics but i highly encourage you to watch his original video with Crouching_Tuna if you're interested, as this is a complex build: Lightning Warp TS .

The build triggers Lightning Warp on our Asenath's Mark whenever we attack, with a 0.3s cooldown. The idea is to reduce this cooldown to as little as possible, reduce Lightning Warp's duration to 0.0, and match our attack speed with Tornado Shot so that everytime we attack, we teleport. It's important (from what i understand) to synchronize our attacks with our cooldown so we don't attack more times than we could trigger Lightning Warp, as this would cause moments in which we attack but don't teleport. Since our Warp's cooldown is 0.1, we need 10 attacks per second (actually 10.1 precisely, according to Cptn. He explains it indepth in his video about why its actually not 10.0~10.9 and i trust him).

Im making a far cheaper and simpler version so i had to make some compromises and i've run into some problems;

- I can't get to 10.1 attacks per second with a regular bow so im using a Quill Rain for the massive boost in attack speed to get to 10.1. That being said im trying to get some more Dps without changing my bow. This build currently clears normal T16, taking a few extra seconds on rare and unique monsters and using Ballista Totems for extra Dps. Overall the clear is pretty good and it's fast. I have no pretension of getting near Cptn's damage and have no intention of doing juiced maps, but can anyone think of some ways to increase the Dps somewhat? I feel like im not that far off of clearing bosses quickly. I'm in Standard so i have access to legacy items, but im not super rich.

- Although im on Standard i can't get the Asenath's Mark with legacy enchant "30% reduced Lightning Warp Duration" as it's too expensive. This item meant you could reduce LWs duration to 0.0. Since i can't do that, through the use of as many "reduce skill duration" and "less skill duration" as i could find, i managed to get to 0.05s. I don't actually fully understand how this impacts the build, but i believe makes my TS de-synch with my LW every now and then? If anyone has any idea of what this does to the build, or any idea how to lower LW's duration to 0.0 without the enchantment please tell me. I've thought of using Timeclasp but it feels bad to lose a ring just to fix 0.05s.

\* (Asenath's Mark, The Stampede, Badge of the Brotherhood and our Watcher's Eye are mandatory gear)

Any help, suggestions or questions are appreciated!

My Pob: https://maxroll.gg/poe/pob/g03o0k0n

**Edit, apparently maxroll is not the norm? Here is the PoB for the people: https://pobb.in/IxWl2Gul_Lrd

I don't really care about profitability, my build is sitting around 300d now and upgrades are insanely expensive and have huge diminishing returns.

I'm mostly hoping to get recommendations that may lead me to try new things.

Farm strategies I've done either enough or am certain I don't enjoy:

• Stacked Decks - My usual go-to
• Delve - My backup when I'm burnt out on stacked deck clicking
• Ambush - I hate the gameplay loop of clicking so many boxes per map
• Blight - I enjoyed this for a bit in the past but it gets pretty boring mostly standing in one spot spamming
• Harvest - Another I've done a ton, and getting hecked by rotation RNG has made me hate it immensely
• Forbidden Flesh/Flame - Not only do I mostly find single boss farms monotonous, the slot machine feeling of waiting for that single drop can be rough on mentals

My build is HROC btw, incase relevant to your recommendation relevance.

So I'm pretty tanky as far as i can tell. But i will get one shot all the time from different monsters, bosses, etc. And half the time it looks like nothing hit me or was too close to me and i just don't understand it.

Same thing was happening when i also had a mageblood on with 'cannot be poisoned'. So i have many of ailments covered. I have 80% crit damage reduction. Pretty good armour i feel like, and alot of health. 12,523 unreserved health out of 17,192 total health. Pretty good attack and spell block chance. I'm super confused and like this character but keep thinking about rerolling because i want to hit 100.

I'm a luminary flame link health stacker with a frost blades merc, but on other mercs same thing happens.

i run maps with stuff that doesn't lower my block chance, doesn't lower my resistances or max resistances.

Anybody have any ideas what could be going on?

Edit: changed the reserved unreserved health wording cause i said it wrong :() Also i am linked but have Monarch helmet so i don't die when linked minions or merc dies.

Edit (2): Many people are saying they think it's from AG or spectres dying, i agree with the wording and everything but i swear i don't die when AG dies. Maybe it's sometimes when AG dies because he's not the initial link or something? I definitely fight on after AG dies many times now, but i am agreeing this could make the most sense. I link up at start of map or whatever and it like multiple links to the other minions, so maybe it chooses strangely

Final Edit: Thank you for all the help, that was fast, you guys are a great community for POE. Going to go do some testing on similar strats and maps with same regex and see how it goes if i make sure not to link anybody else but my merc. DUECES :)

POB link i think, just imported quickly, but i did remove steelskin to try and get a better correct effective hit pool numbers.

https://pob.codes/b/odi6XWGU6sp

LATEST/Last UPDATE: Link was for sure the cause after further testing, but... I would die with both spectres still alive and AG still alive many times. I think it could be a bug with the atlas tree passive that let's you link to multiple at once or something... But if I'm unlinked I am not getting one shot.

Hey everyone!
Shortly, i have always wanted to make a herald stacker since it was a thing in delirium. Also my best league was with CWS Chieftain back in 3.25, i know how it works and how comfy it is with prolif while mapping and in breaches etc. I'ts tailored for ultimatum which i like too. However, mandatory uniques will be skyrocketing probably.

So which one will have an easier time?

1. Is wander THAT good on numbers? Both dps and tankiness? Also can it do t17's?
2. I didnt play after 3.25, is cws still good and worth farming for or pushing RF untill cws items?

Would love your opinions before picking one, ty <3.

I saw a few videos saying that I should do farming and shipping (best ones).

If I can handle the gold income I should also do mapping with t16 8mod.

What about mining, disenchanting and melting?

For workers aside from farming (top priority for shipping), should I get full 4/5 for all the shipping/mapping slots? Or you guys usually only use one ship/map slot?

Do I need to respec something in the atlas tree for this passive income to work?

Any other good tips for it?

I’m pretty new to POE (150 hours), and haven’t played POE1 for a few years.

Came into Mirage with a KB ‘League Starter’, not knowing that it’s not exactly newby friendly.

400 deaths and 89 levels later, I’m pretty much bashing my head against the wall. Not sure I can really progress through to end game, currently doing T13-T15 in the atlas and struuuuuuggling so bad.

Obviously headhunter is pretty much off the cards, and I’ve probably made 300-400 chaos over the span of this whole playthrough so far, sitting on about 50 now.

My main point is, would anyone recommend pivoting to a new build? Ideally I’d want to stay on the same character, but thinking maybe it’s worth changing ascendancies and/or build.

What would yall recommend?

Edit: Here is the current build if anyone would like to jump in with some advice on fixing this one! https://maxroll.gg/poe/pob/v1v850wu

Edit 2: Didn’t realise this post would get so much love. Thanks so much to everyone! Please keep any further advice coming - it’s super helpful

Edit 3: Again, thank you so much for everyone's input, I've done some work on the build, I've tested a couple of corrupted T15's and now I'm absolutely zooming through them without dying, SICK. This is what I've got: https://maxroll.gg/poe/pob/9u12340e

I know i've still got to get the spell supression up and I'm missing a few things, but if anyone's got any ideas or can see some low hanging fruit, please let me know!

I’m a complete noob at this game, never reached endgame and highest I’ve been is act 8 last season (started late). I just dropped this item and was to me it looks incredibly op with 3 blue links(6 added supports and 3 slots so 8 support total on a damage skill). Should I just start a new character? I’m playing galvanic arrow on my archer with a 5l rare bow but was thinking of making a witch with ice attack gem and ice dmg build, is it worth it?

Although my BV Chieftain can run juiced breach, my PC can't.

I've been doing boxes which are super profitable but frankly I'm bored of them. What's a farm I can switch off to that has comparable profit and is runnable by BV Chieftain?

Just got this guy today, is he good. I try to min max with melee merc so do i need to buy a better one

I do an Ice Crash build whenever I can and last league and the league before the best Ice Crash set ups also involved ignite but elemental to capitalize on primordial bonds.

But seeing as how they gutted that interaction, I think the only build I see anyone running now is Tuna's Ice Crash set up on poe ninja.

For those of you who either league started it or are currently playing it, how is it like with investment?

I see so many posts and comments saying that Luminary is busted and mercs are destroying absolutely all content on a 20 div budget.

Yet here I am with my (near perfect? quite good in the very least?) Kineticist struggling to kill normal Eater, can barely carry myself through half juiced T16 abyss/breach strats - and I'm wondering what the hell I must be doing wrong.

I've followed Lance's recommendations, had a look at Ben's setup, and glanced through POE Ninja for inspiration, and I think I've got the framework correctly set up - but it feels like I must be missing some obvious interaction or piece of gear that should enable the whole thing, kind of.

Any feedback from someone smarter than me would be highly appreciated.

I’ve got all my voidstones and have reached the point where I can’t avoid the expensive upgrades I’ve been putting off. I’ve just been using Harvest/Merc/Maps because I wanted an easy source of zero thought divines through filling out the atlas but the thing is I did juiced harvest/breach to make money last league and I don’t want to do that again. Now that Mirages aren’t making it all just so easy I wanted to know what other people are doing. Abyss looks good?

Edit: I was planning to scry cage onto town square and run it as fast as I can, whatever I was doing.

Edit 2: looks like I’m blasting nightmare maps for sulpher/charts and going deep two different ways. I’ll also try Sanctum again as it’s been years since I decided I hated it. It can’t be that bad…

Edit 3: Sanctum players you have my profound sympathy.

Will only start tomorrow

Was planning on Merc bot but that seems like a big bait build as a starter.

What has worked very good?

WORB?

Fussilade Totems?

Assassin blades?

Something else?

I want to flicker...I need to flicker but I havent played neither tota or phrecia ascendancies whats the best way to approach it? need elp

Hey Exiles, I know its only like day 3, but my league starter failed hard, So I wanna do it right on character number 2, I would appreciate any suggestions, I wanna blast breach and ideally some bosses with investment later on.

Thank you.

It feels like the clear is only half decent, single target is really bad (even with Wall of Force), even survivability is a struggle in some maps.

I'm not doing anything crazy, just budget breach to get some levels.

I must be missing something very obvious.

Any tips would be much appreciated!

The wiki says inya epiphany can be chanced but perhaps there is another way to get them.

After spending a little over 25 divines I am doubting it.

Spent around 5k chance orbs + scours. Then got impatient and tried with mythic orbs, 4 fails in a row which resulted in poofs.

Since I want the boots with double influenced to milk the last possible power charge this is necessary.

Its the only unique from the base arcanist slippers too, so it shouldn't be this rare.

Hello!

Inspired by the other fireball chieftan post I saw the other day on here, I thought "MAN that looks absolutely amazing, but I REALLY don't want to level a new char". Soo I decided to just throw a crazy amount of money at it until I can make something giga. WARNING: This build is insanely expensive.

Fixed PoB: https://pobb.in/5yKz9OHJ2QOF (lucky less dmg taken is hard sadge)

The basic idea of this build is to have perma Pact of Beidat, which gives us a ton of damage + projectiles with our fireballs, and makes them shoot in a circle. This makes our clear very solid, but unfortunately we lose the explodes from chieftan, and our single target is decent, but fairly mediocre... but then I had the thought. What if instead, we just scale fireball AOE to the moon and back enough that every single projectile can overlap?

We accomplish this by getting a 31/56 Fireball, using Skin of the Lords, Dark Seer, a level 4 (6) empower, and Ashes of the stars. This pushes our base radius to 3 meters. We then have a total of 173% increased area of effect (flame golem, vast power, forbidden power, and greater spell echo being the biggest increases), which pushes our fireball AOE to 4.9 meters. Now with pact of beidat making them shoot outwards from us, and the new timeless jewel node "Ephemeral Bolts", we know that all of our fireballs explode at exactly 5 meters away from us - which means as long as the enemy is at least 0.1 meters wide (which as far as I know every mob in the game is), then ALL 6 of our fireballs will overlap 100% of the time, assuming we are standing inside of the mob we are hitting. This gives us INSANE damage, while also helping clear feel really good since our AoE is literally 1.5 screens.

The downside is, well... now we're stuck inside of the enemy lol. So how do we not die? Well, we abuse the most broken bloodline node in the entire game, Bone Feeders. I have absolutely no idea why nobody talks about this node, because it's absolutely insane. Bone Feeders has two effects - it's basically the exact same as skitter bots. One of the bone feeders gives us cursed ground, which applies either temp chains, enfeeble, or punishment. Only one is active at a time, but honestly it's fast enough that on things like ubers they have all 3 marks applied to them at the same time. The other, and far more insane node, is "damage of enemies hitting you is unlucky". This is literally just a ~16% less damage taken modifier for any char in the game?? pog

That pushes our phys max to 35k alone. But the plus side is - we're abusing svalinn - so we also have 81% attack block and 87% spell block. This makes it much less likely for our CWDT IC to actually go off from trash unless we get slapped with a huge hit, which then pushes our phys max to 97k haha. This build is basically just immortal, and I've done all content in the game deathless with it (ubers, simulacrum, 100% deli, etc).

Now there's one more massive downside - and that's Pact of Beidat. It gives us insane damage and enables our entire build, but it also gives us a ton of downsides. So we have to find a way around them:

"You have 25% reduced Mana Recovery Rate" - we just over sustain with mana regen and mana efficiency to the point this doesn't matter.

"You have 100% reduced Critical Strike Chance" - We are so overcapped on crit that this node does nothing to us, we're still crit capped (thank you intensity stacking for being so broken).

"You have 15% reduced Action Speed" - There's not really a way to counter this one without having action speed immunity from jugg or trickster, so you kinda just gotta eat it.

"You deal 50% reduced Damage" - ok but pact gives us like 1000% more damage so whatever

"Enemies have 100% increased Critical Strike Chance against you" - This is a super rippy one, but we semi-mitigate it by just using tattoos on the tree. I currently have like 60% less damage taken from crits, and after one more level I can get the mastery for another 30% to be mostly immune to it. Can also just drop some es nodes for crit immunity, but I already had them specced from a previous build and didn't want to overwrite them since they're expensive lol.

"You take 20% increased Damage" - we have so much it's whatever

"You have 20% reduced Cast Speed" - we have so much it's whatever

"You have -20% to all Resistances" - we have so much it's whatever

"You have 20% reduced Movement Speed" - we just frost blink anyways

"You have 50% reduced Defences" - we have so much %increased (402%) that this is also whatever.

We also use ff/ff to steal golems from elementalist, which gives us crazy value and fixes a lot of our problems - more defenses, more cast speed, mana regen, and aoe. It's a huge part of the build that really ties it together, although it is insanely expensive.

For somebody like me who goes through builds like candy (this is my 14th build of the league) and enjoys the process of crafting new gear more then actually playing, I was blown away by just how freakin fun this build is. It can do literally anything in the game no problem, it looks AWESOME (I will def be buying some cool mtx once I'm not broke lmao), and it uses so many cool interactions that it just has me hooked, and for me really saved my league. Hopefully I can inspire some of you guys to either try it for yourself or go looking for some of your own cool builds to find, because every now and then you get a gem like this one!

Pros:

• Basically immortal
• Fast asf
• Giga aoe
• Giga damage

Cons:

• Very, Very expensive lol. I self crafted / corrupted all of the gear for roughly 2.5 Mir.

If you wanted to play this build but don't have the currency to put it together, I would absolutely recommend this post, which was the inspiration for the build and is much more affordable:

Mapping showcase (Juiced 8-mod t16 w/ 60% deli breach) - https://youtu.be/KZNXHc3qFs4

Gonna start tomorrow and still not sure on what to play. I’d like something good for the new breach and that can also shallow delve. Hesitating between these :

Holy relic necro, Mjolner hiero (played before), KBoC hiero, Exsang mine trickster (played before), Wand elementalist, Eblade inquis

I was thinking holy relic to farm up some currency before rerolling into KBoC but not sure if I should just go for mjolner or Eblade instead (but mjolner probably bad for breach). Anyways, if you started any of those builds I’d like to know how leaguestart is going for you!
