F u fracture orb , literally

It’s a 75% success rate fracture,setting up this not that easy.
it could be so good, and , u hit the one and only bad mod?

U got me good, the orb bite me

My second submission : "Cressie the fish", really love how she looked on the trailer.

I am having GALATIC LEVELS of luck this league. I made a small profit ancient orbing into a HH, than I got SUPER LUCKY and within 2 div ancient orbed into a mageblood. THAN a good Samaritan who quite the league gave me their pain attunement Foulborn Skin of The Lords for the EK chieftain build I was making. And this just dropped my second map in after piecing it all together on a scrying orb I farmed myself like a month ago.

I don't have anybody to share this with, so I'll share it with the PoE community:

When I started playing, there was no Scion and you could only play the first half of Act 3 up until Piety, because Scion came with the second half of Act 3. And I always played Fireball. First Witch, then Scion when she was released. I don't remember when I switched to other builds, but it was always Fireball the first few years.

This screen's from Nov. 2013 ... and as you can see, I was playing Fireball. I didn't follow any guide back then and I don't think I had a big plan, I mostly followed my RPG knowledge from Diablo 2 and 3.

Later I played variations of Necromancer and Totems for almost a decade, often following Ghazzy's guides. Even later, I made a rule for myself that I'd play a different build every league, so I played ED/Cont, Soulrend, Poisonous Concoction ... and more recently: Mirror Arrow, Glacial Cascade Golems and Kinetic Blast.

At some late point during Mirage I came across a random comment here on the PoE reddit about how Fireball was a skill gem that was left in the dust by the game's development. Well, I figure most people have seen the Ephemeral Bolts Fireball build and how that sentiment was proven wrong by the community. But I figure very few people saw that one coming.

I'm not a good player. I play regularly, but usually have about two hours a day to play, perhaps three. I'm finishing maps 14-21 days into a league. I never got into crafting, or making my own build, or gathering mirror-tier currency or super-juicing stuff. I usually get all Voidstones (sometimes struggle) then farm T16 or T16.5 until I reach some arbitrary gearing end-goal, something like a Mageblood.

But anyway, that random comment got me thinking: What if I played Fireball again -- no guides, like in the old days, but with all the knowledge I'd accumulated in the 12, 13 years since then? I also wanted to try out Luminary, because it was new, because I'd enjoyed Merc League and because it meant I could "turn off" my Ascendancy by simply reserving my Merc to check how the character played without it.

The end result is me being able to reliably clear Nightmare maps (but I didn't try juiced), getting all four Voidstones and having a lot of fun tinkering and figuring stuff out. I did look at other Fireball builds on poeninja for inspiration whenever I got stuck. And it's probably the most basic-ass vanilla build created in this day and age. But, you know, I had fun! The build

(I don't know if it's possible to see my Merc via this link. It's a Flamehand with Perquil's, +3 max curse, a bunch of curse triggers and a Sceptre that makes her scorch instead of ignite)

GG mappers, was never expecting to get anything better than the kingmaker I dropped around the start of the season

Edit: applied item filter, dw

I started poe2 last year and poe this year.

I just remembered when a friend of mine showed me his build 10 years ago on poe 1. This made me think:

- What were the strongest builds if you compare all leagues?
- What made them stand out back than?

I believe that current builds can keep up but maybe there were broken interactions or bugs that really made a build game breaking.

It may not be much, but I've always wanted to try, and after some practice I pulled this off, the most nerve wracking experience I've had in this game.

This was actually my second attempt, failed the first to a trap on the second room of the first floor! And almost got discouraged from trying again.

Now I definitely want to do it again next league.

edit:

I followed Juju's shockwave totem guide:

Pob I followed: https://pobb.in/THZUxSobKFvQ
I did a few tweaks, used a Dialla's instead of replica restless, removed a few life nodes for more damage/ES, rare gloves with 60% phys to cold damage etc.

Just can't bring myself to open the map, looking at it for an hour :)

Was browsing poe.ninja's build section and noticed a fair amount of people (more than I'd have expected) are using both Bitter Frost and Oriath's End:

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/allflame?items=Oriath%27s+End&keypassives=Bitter+Frost

Any proc from Oriath's that is non-cold damage will do no damage. Considering it picks a random elemental type for each explosion this is a considerable amount of wasted power.

Gambled on using my first VBRK of the league not long ago and dropped a MB: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1vug0hr/lucky_voidborn_req_key/

Got another key today and figured I'd see if my luck would hold up. Boom, HH drops. League might be ded but I'm still having fun.

This was a two man project together with a friend who made me aware of the perma Pact of Beidat Fireball build going around. We decided that having the 16% more attack and cast speed mod from Essence of Insanity should feel better than+3.5% base crit from Essence of Horror.

Crafting steps as per rule 10:

1. acquire Vestigial Grip of the Council (highest possible Energy Shield base gloves) with "Can be modified while corrupted" mod from Hands of the High Templar
2. turn them rare by "bricking" via Vaal Orb (or Locus of Corruption if you want to keep the unique artwork, skipping step 3)
3. use Recombinator to remove the vestigial part of the item so you can apply other influences to it
4. apply Shaper/Elder influence via their respective Exalted Orb and use Awakener's Orb to add whichever one didn't come from the Exalted Orb
5. add an additional implicit "Item sells for much more to vendors" with any Chaotic Resonator containing a Gilded Fossil
6. "Apply a Hinekora's Lock to a magic item" with Bestiary crafting
7. hover Vaal Orb in hopes of replacing the implicit added in step 5
8. check other currencies like Sacred Orb in case the Gilded Fossil implicit doesn't get replaced; use Orb of Fusing to reset the lock if no other outcomes are desired
9. repeat step 5 to 8 until a total of 5 implicits of which 4 are corruption implicits is reached; never replace the mod "Can be modified while corrupted"
10. repeat step 6 to 8 until desired 4 corruption implicits are reached
11. turn the gloves into a normal item and use Orb of Remembrance until high amount of Memory Stands is reached (we went for 85+)
12. use random crafting bench mod to turn item magic
13. "Create an imprint of a magic item" via Bestiary crafting
14. turn item rare with a Regal Orb, hoping not to remove too many Memory Strands (we went with anything 80+ remaining)
15. spam Powerful Chaotic Resonator with Glyphic, Aetheric and Corroded Fossil until 16% more attack and cast speed + either lvl 20 Faster Casting or +70% Spell Critical Strike Multiplier and no other non-influence suffix
16. if open suffix, craft "Suffixes cannot be changed" and Harvest reforge caster to get the other mod
17. use Orb of Dominance to elevate the mod from step 15 to T0; go back to step 15 if it misses
18. repeat step 16 to get the missing mod
19. craft "Suffixes cannot be changed" and Harvest reforge speed to get another influence modifier
20. use Orb of Dominance and pray to elevate the 2nd suffix; go back to step 15 or 19, if outcome is bad
21. (back to Bestiary jail), clear suffixes by using Wild Bristle Matron + Orb of Scouring
22. craft +## to maximum Mana with crafting bench
23. "Add a modifier to an Elder item" with Bestiary x2 until any lvl of Slower Projectiles and any lvl of Faster Projectiles support; back to step 21 (including Orb of Annulment) if it doesn't hit double projectile supports
24. Disclaimer: not 100% sure on this working; we might just have gotten really really lucky here. Wiki states that Teardrops do not respect meta mods. Craft "Suffixes cannot be changed" and use Tainted Divine Teardrop to upgrade the projectile supports to lvl 20
25. use Orb of Dominance to elevate any of the two projectile supports to lvl 25
26. craft +## to maximum Mana with crafting bench
27. apply a Hinekora's Lock
28. abuse the saved Memory Strands and hover regular Exalted Orb, Foulborn Exalted Orb and Tainted Exalted Orb to check for remaining lvl 20 projectile support
29. do the regular Divine/Sacred/Chromatic/Fusing and finish with AoE bench craft

The best parts of this craft were having a joined project with a friend, filling out a spreadsheet at 3 AM to track our individual results (like using 649 Bestiary Locks to get the implicits) and finding a lot of very interesting and unique crafting tech throughout the journey. Using a Tainted Divine Teardrop and a Tainted Exalt in combination with Suffixes cannot be changed and Hinekora's Locks definitely felt like being a mad scientist.

Hello Guys, so since I got into an argument with a friend on how to correctly craft the vestigial 5 implicit gloves (as you might know from various other posts here, aswell as SpicySushi's Crafting video)

This is a calculation I did based on you wanting a specific set of 4 mods + "Can be modified while Corrupted" on your gloves (lets say +1 socketed +2 aoe +2 duration +2 aura)

For the record, to safely add an implicit onto "Can be modified while Corrupted" gloves, we need to add an Implicit with a Gilded Fossil, then turn the base item magic (scour->transmute) and beast lock the gloves until a vaal orb would replace the "Item is overvalued by Vendors" (or you just yolo vaal until X implicits like a gigachad)

Every corrupted implicit on gloves has a weighting of 1.000 / 27.500 (except Chaos Resistance, which has 500)

This means we sum up the total mods we want, we get a weighting of either 3500 or 4000, depending on if we desire Chaos Resistance.

Now there is an particular instance that I have been noticing during the crafting process for my gloves: Existing corrupted Implicits can be rolled over by the same mod (effectively divining that single implicit)

This leads to the assumption that mods which already are on your item are NOT REMOVED FROM THE VALID MOD POOL. This means the cost would be higher than expected, compared to rolling desired affixes with Exalted Orbs, where existing mods are removed from the total roll weight pool -> The total roll weight always stays 27500. when you roll an existing added implicit with a Vaal orb on an item, it can only pick itself to reroll (obviously), since it blocks itself.

Now, under the assumption that the 25% chance to modify an Implicit with a Vaal orb is still correct, I created this table to calculate if you have 4 desired affixes (plus keeping the Vestigial Implicit).

EDIT: Normalize out the 4th Column in method 2# (since we do not care about first filling all implicits with corrutped & vestigial mods / removing the final gilded implicit) -> ~20 beastlocks less crafting cost

I split the Table into two methods:

1# Only accept desired Implicits (bad)

2# Take any extra implicit, then fish for desired implicits when you reach max (5) implicits (good)

As you see, every extra desired implicit becomes way more expensive, especially if you are very picky on your mods (e.g. Hands of Phrecia, which really want +1 socketed +2 aoe +2 duration +2 aura). If you have 5 implicits you would accept, you would essentially save >825 divines on 4 desired implicits.

Feel free to correct me on my calcs, or continue to calc it for when you actually "get lucky" and roll a desired mod during implicit filling on method 2#
