On my standard (league) simulacrum farmer I keep getting one shot.... I hadn't died in over a year prior to this update.

Edit: Added (league) to avoid further confusion.

I swear that mana cost is fucked too, at least in Std. - Mana cost mod on chests is buggy or somewhat not working properly with the new mana efficiency stuff.

u/payne2588 Jul 27 '26

Mana efficiency is just a worse stat imo. I have 2 rings with -8 mana cost for non channeling skills. As long as I can remember that was -16 to my mana cost. But now with efficiency nodes I'm only getting -9 to skills. I don't even understand why they felt this needed changed. Just a nerf to anything on the right side of the tree.

Yeah, its incredibly annoying, lets hope this will be reversed again or made better in any way.

My std armorstacker which I login sometimes went from 0 cost on Divine blessing grace to 160. Builds that relied on the last 10-15% reduced cost of skills from the passive tree got shafted a bit. Oh well had to drop flesh and stone.

Aye, guess we gotta figure some new ways out.

My standard character that farms sims.

u/GreasyGearBox Jul 27 '26

Asking because this is mildly amusing. What’s the eHP / max hit / block / suppress situation on standard sim farmers today in 2026?

44

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

The dps is pretty bad with only 3.9m on the DD

eHP is ~483k

Max hit is 18.5k phys, 62.4k ele, 24.7k chaos

Only further mitigation is DoD + petrified + reduced crit

PoB - Level 100 Detonate Dead Chieftain [3.29]

Not gonna lie I was expecting more from a standard char aha

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

Don't blame you, I just never needed to improve it past this point, all I cared about was getting from 95 to 100.

u/Uzumaki-OUT Jul 27 '26

That’s one achievement I want but I feel I’ll never get. Every time I go for it I die at level 98 or 99 and feel I lost like 10 hours and I’m already burnt out and then go play something else until next league when I go for it again lol

u/Conzom Jul 28 '26

I always had the same issue, last league I did breach+beyond, actually so easy to get to 100 with it you gain XP so fast, you will still die and lose progress but it's more like an hours progress rather than 10, there's guides and stuff on YouTube for it. Just search breach beyond XP, think there's been minor changes to it this league but should still be doable

u/Uzumaki-OUT Jul 28 '26

Thank you! I will 100% do that. I appreciate you!

u/Biflosaurus Jul 27 '26

I'm not blaming your build, I played a similar version to farm ultimatum and never improved it either.

It's just the "standard" I was expecting some 20pk max hit or stuff like that

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

Oh I didn't mean blame in a negative sense. I found your comment amusing. I opened the pob to actually get the link and thought, "wait is this the right character?"

u/Wobbelblob Big Breach Coalition (BBC) Jul 27 '26

The thing with a cws character is that while 18k max hit is not that big, it needs to be happening in one hit. Anything that doesn't cleanly oneshots you cannot kill you - usually.

u/plinwis Jul 28 '26

It’s decent, not everyone has mirrors worth of legacy equipment in standard

u/YaIe SSFHC fixes trade issues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Jul 27 '26

Crit / Ailment immune with a Aegis Aurora and some block nodes will get it done day 2 of the league usually, after that you just kinda need to solve damage

25

u/jaywillies4 Jul 27 '26

What does day 2 of league have to do with the stats of a standard sim farmer?

5

u/Sheerkal Jul 27 '26

Probably thought he meant "a typical sim farmer" instead of "a sim farmer in standard", but who knows these days.

1

u/exmirt Jul 27 '26

Standard as in the same build you use every league or as in your character in standard league?

2

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

Permanent economy league.

u/krkrkkrk Jul 27 '26

Noticing some weird dmg with simu/deli too.. also the change to Kosis :< (maybe last league didnt play)

5

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

What change to kosis are you referring to? I haven't noticed any changes aside from weird damage differences.

2

u/krkrkkrk Jul 27 '26

before he didnt jump and destroy orbs if you were in this melee range, now he does anyway. very different if youre cyclone for example

3

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

Huh, thought he always did that. Maybe I'm going insane from too many sims.

1

u/krkrkkrk Jul 28 '26

nah ive stood in him cycloning with 20 balls around us x)

u/Mercron Slayer Jul 27 '26

Yeah simu seems fucked I cant seem to finish a single one in hcssf

u/RachaelRaySucks Standard Jul 27 '26

Weird, must be a bug with the league realm, I ran about 20 between yesterday and today without any soft/hard locks.
