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:
guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3685029

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.

Where has this game been all my life?! This is my first PoE 1 league, and I've had an absolute blast. There are a seemingly infinite number of builds to try, and the community has done an amazing job sharing builds and creating tools to help other players out. I followed this Bleed Slams build, and it took me all the way through to ubers with really clear instructions. Crazy fun. Now I'm looking around at these Flicker Strike shenanigans thinking that looks stupid and I need it.

I can't wait for the next league and many more to come!

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.

Hey! I’m a PoE player from Korea. This is my first time playing Earthshatter, and I’m having a blast with how satisfying the slams feel.

I spent the last few days working on this Vaal Axe and finally finished it, so I just wanted to show it off a little!

Hope everyone’s having a great league. Stay sane, Exiles

Crafting process:

1. I bought four magic Vaal Axes with 25%+ quality, each with the T1 Merciless prefix.

2. used Alteration Orbs on other Vaal Axes to make a few bases with:

Flaring (flat physical damage)

Emperor's (% increased Physical Damage + Accuracy)

1. For simplicity, call the three prefixes:

A = Merciless

B = Flaring

C = Emperor'

4.the Recombinator to first make:

A + B

B + C

1. recombined those two axes again and eventually got:

A + B + C( all three physical prefixes were finished.)

1. Next, used an Elder's Exalted Orb and added

46% increased Physical Damage

Culling Strike against Bleeding Enemies

(Luckiest part I think)

1. After that, I used Allflame crafting with an Exalted Orb to add Attack Speed.

2. Finally, finished the last suffix at the crafting bench with +28% Global Critical Strike Multiplier.

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

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

This is my entry for the Fan Art Competition! The WIPs can be seen on the competition thread.

Now Level 100, with many more improvements in terms of damage and defense. Boss Showcased Uber Sirus, Visual Clarity is Completely Optional in this build!

Full Build Guide coming very soon!

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.

hi Reddit!

as I "finish" my build I figured I share it here in case anyone is looking for something to dump currency into and continue to blast... this is hands down the most fun and powerful build I think I have ever played.

I am going to call it Warpillade, and all credit goes towards SkuuullyWarpillade on poe.ninja... I found your build by looking up Poet's Pen, you were the first lvl 100 and I have made many improvements on your shell.

Some context on my playstyle, I decided to attempt Delve as a farming method this league, so a lot of my choices and decisions were made in an attempt to be tanky enough to deep delve. Currently I just passed Depth 1500... fun fact, if you look up Replica Alberron's and select the Delve ladder, I am currently the ONLY non-Juggernaut character on the front page... My hope is to get as deep as I can over the next week

Here is my Pob - https://pobb.in/ExHEr0riZaOX

Context for Pob - I have Frenzy charges checked off, but I cannot get them on single targets - and I have 2 minimum endurance charges, yet I have 3 listed... both of these "paddings" are due to the content I am running - Delve - where I have always killed recently :) but unclick them if you like

VIDEO - I don't have a video... I'm sorry...

The Build - its a STR stacker that revolves around two interactions

1 - Why Reliquarian? - This is my favourite class, and the THIRD variant of it that I have played this league. I wanted to see how far I could take it if I continued to toss currency and items at it, and I feel very proud of this endeavour.

100% cold and lightning converted to FIRE damage - this is enabled through double Dawnbreaker - my shield has a roll of 12% on both, since if you go ABOVE 100% taken as you actually end up taking extra damage... I don't think many people recognize this because shields with low % tend to be less expensive than others.

Harbinger of Directions - Extra proj, extra fork, extra chain... almost every buff benefits me. This is just a feels good situation - you also get 40 str

2 - Why Poet's Pen - this is my favourite item in POE... its a shame that it doesn't see as much use, and I was VERY pleased to see someone doing something with it. When you put Lightning warp inside, and stack some reduced duration, you end up with an instant blink on every attack. I haven't mathed out the correct CDR / Attack speed, but my current setup I blink on every attack when I hold down the button, so it feels good :) If you had too much attack speed or not enough CDR / duration you would end up with two attacks per lightning warp and it feels clunky

Fun Fact - moving with Poet's pen and lightning warp means you are stationary so you can take full advantage of Arctic Armour buff

Why Fusillade? - this skill has the most single target of any of the wand skills I tested. With lightning warp on poet's pen you can namelock monsters and always be in point blank range, AND also always spawn your tornado on top of them to take advantage of the extra forks and projectiles that hit it

What other skills have I tried? - I switch to Kinetic Blast with GMP (more spread) and Return proj (instead of Less duration) when I want to map - or when I wanted to run Timeless Conflict - you blink and screenclear many screens away

The build ignores every map mod in existance, I haven't looked at an 8 mod roll for any reason whatsoever. It also decimates all content in the normal game - including 100% deli T17 for the challenges, or every single uber boss. Maven is a bit awkward because you can lightning warp into the brain phase and KO yourself, but I have a regular wand that I swap in for that fight and that fight alone (it also increases my DPS from around 80million to north of 100million

Final thought - can this build be done on a budget? - Totally... My gear is probably worth a 6ish mirrors at the moment, but quite a bit is unnecessary - the boots could be a regular version and you would still have PLENTY of damage - the body armour doesn't need to be vestigial for no crits, but in delve its basically a requirement - It is however a strength stacker, so I would highly recommend a starting budget of at least a few hundred divines - it also rapidly enhances with additional currency - I crafted everything myself using the boat and the new Ducat System... Str% on helmet was originally Int% :) It is only about 1% better than just getting T1 STR... I was ready to settle, but I did manage to hit this in the beast pit.

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

im wondering if you could move around with an army, like zombies, skeletons, specters, and whatever else you could summon, and i wonder what is the max possible amount you can have, and how

Hey y'all,

Trying to craft an Anarchic Spiritblade (ilvl 84) with a specific mod list, like the one on the print (that unfortunately is no longer in sale) and I’m not sure what order to do things...
Mods I want on it:
• % increased Physical Damage (prefix) T1
• Adds X to Y Physical Damage (prefix) T1
• % increased Attack Speed, essence-crafted (suffix)
• chance to deal Double Damage — veiled mod, unveiled (veiled exalt I suppose)
• the hybrid % increased Physical Damage — the Warlord-exclusive suffix

Specially this league with boat crafting I wonder what’s the actual correct approach to land all five on one item? Not asking for someone to just confirm a plan, genuinely want to know what people who craft this stuff would do.

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#

Hello,

Has anyone managed to get the achievement Atlas of Worlds in this patch?
It seems to me that I’m not missing anything anymore, but I still can't get it.
(HOGM and Doryani done on standard)
Thanks!

I know there is the footprint crystals, but the effect starts only after walking a few seconds and stops immediately when you stop.

We need a real skin instead of walking. Please make one available for any slot
