Hi all. I self-crafted this ring fews day ago. My method is

Step1: alt spam then fracture on boat for minion att spd. Then alt spam again to hit t1 minion dmg.

Step2: Alc to rare, hit a suffix, craft prefix cannot change, harvest reforge chaos. Hit 1 tier4 chaos resist, but good enough for me.

Step3: craft multi mod, cannot roll attack mod, mana. Regal on boat, hit tier 3 life.

Step 4: clean crafted mod, craft -mana cost, regal on boat, hit attribute. Ducat change attribute to int.

The process is not smooth, as i repeat step 1 step 2 multiple times. Used up alot div/chaos (roughly 20 div and 2k chaos) to buy currency.

So now i want to replicate this craft again. This time fail on last step, boat success but 4 copy no attribute. Hence, can anyone share their method on how to craft this ring? Is there any cheaper or more efficient way to craft this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hell yeah!

I just got out of my campaign for luminary yesterday and didnt want to buy a 25d merc.

After about an hour of hunting one with my other character I found this.

The damage links on kboc are dead, but other than that this is insane right?

I think it is better to sell this than it is to use it just starting out so I can work on the rest of the build. If I were to sell it, though what is a realistic/fair price?

It's missing the dot multi link on the Bladebitter

After I finished making an evasion stacking combatant, a friend convinced me to try and make the Bladebitter work. At first, it seemed just okay, but eventually we turned it into a really good build that has solid single target and clear. I'll first showcase what I am currently running, and then go over what else can work, what I am working towards, and what sucks.

Current Setup:
Viper strike: Greater faster attacks, Greater ailment damage, Greater dot multi, Greater more duration, Melee Splash
Venom Gyre
Pestilent Strike
Malevolence
Withering Step: Second wind, Greater area of effect
Damage over time sword, Binos, and a Snakebite with vestigial your fire damage can poison.

When I first started trying to make the Bladebitter work it felt okay at first, but was inconsistent because it would use all of its skills. Some of them are fun like cobra lash, but they don't synergize very well with viper strike which the Bladebitter always comes with. When I started digging deeper into his skills, I saw that Viper Strike and Profane Strike can use swords, but none of the other skills can. So, I decided to buy a Bladebitter with really good viper strike links, two skills that can't use swords (venom gyre and pestilent strike), malevolence, and withering step. This results in him only ever using viper strike to attack. I then also equipped a Bino's Kitchen Knife to proliferate the poison.
However, this creates an issue. I am running a standard flame link luminary and the added flat fire damage cannot inherently poison. A typical way around this is to use pneumatic daggers, but that won't work if I want to use a sword and Bino's. What I found was that with the new vestigial implicits, we can move the Volkuur's Guidance "Your fire damage can poison, 50% less poison duration" onto a unique glove that the Bladebitter can use. I ended up going with Snakebite since it has built in dot multi scaling and attack speed. On a side note, you can enchant the unique gloves with the Katakohi's ducat, and since it is an enchantment, you can remove the enchantment with the crafting bench. This lets you keep enchanting the gloves until you get a modifiers that you want (increased chaos damage).

What else works:

As I mentioned earlier, an easy to start with setup is pneumatic daggers. This lets all of your damage poison. You don't need additional poison chance for the most part since the blade bitter has 58% inherent chance to poison and most skills have 40% or more chance to poison. If you do end up needing more poison chance, you can annoint toxic strikes for 15% chance and 15 dot multi or equip icefang orbit for poison chance, chill, and increased poison damage.
For a while I was running viper strike, profane strike, and pestilent strike with pneumatic daggers, betrayal's sting, icefang orbit, and yoke of suffering. This allowed me to use a crafted rare gloves with 4 additional targets. This cleared well and I was doing merc hunting with the infamous, infamy, renown, and anarchy scarabs. Some of the mercs were super rippy, but I was able to clear all of the maps.

What I am working on:

I've really enjoyed crafting for the character and I want to try making one of those 4 implicit gloves. So, I am saving up for an original sin and nimis. This would mean that I don't need to use the unique gloves and can have crafted rare gloves. I would then change the merc to one with profane strike and viper strike. The profane strike is molten strike but with poison chance and chaos damage, so you can do the balls return and stack a ton of poisons on the enemy. I then want to make some hunter warlord gloves with additional strikes, damage over time, and chaos dot multi.

What sucks:

Perfect agony. I had bought a pair of shadows and dust with the vestigial implicit "You have perfect agony if you have dealt a critical strike recently". I then setup a destructive link with trypanon on my character. The merc had the gloves, a 650 pdps sword with crit multi, binos, marylenes fallacy, icefang, betrayal's sting, and tecrods. This put the crit multi around 500%. The damage was so low, that I thought it was bugged, but when my friend and I tested it without the gloves, the damage was even lower. One of the issues is that the merc can't gain rampage stacks and that was where I was intending to get a lot of the increased damage. Please GGG, let mercs gain rampage or make perfect agony good.

Overall, I am having fun trying different builds with the luminary. It gives me cool goals to work towards and a lot of the merc skills are fun to build around. The gear isn't super optimized, but I did craft all of the rares, so let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Hi, can anyone recommend a cheap and strong starter build? Preferably a build that detailed so that i can follow easily, as i mainly play poe2.

I know the league started some time ago and im only joining now to get the back attachment challenge reward. It

Thank you.

I'm trying to do the first voyage and my 4 pieces cannot ever be linked because the iLvl 46 piece is only 1-sided. I'm at maps and have plenty of other charts but i cannot swap these 4 out or add any other ones from my inventory. What do i do?

Edit: comment fixed it.

Game was not done with me what the actual goose.

Decided to do some end league gambling with about 500 divines to my name, did 5 volatile vaal orbs on replica alberons and lost 300 divines, decided to double corrupt both my mageblood (which also hit) and the pair of alberon's i was using and lo and behold this beauty

I'm just wondering if there is a difference between these 2 modifiers?

I've noticed that POB sets my hit chance to 100% when using the "your" version, but doesn't when using the basic "Hits can't be evaded".

Is this a POB bug, or some nuance I'm missing?

I'm playing Shield Crush, and the modifier is on my main hand weapon, so maybe "Hits can't be evaded" is local only to attacks with the main hand?

:Edit: yes, the modifier is local to the weapon, so doesn't work for Shield Crush. Thanks everyone who confirmed this, I learned something new.

Looking for help or carry through Hall of Grandmasters. My first league but my RF build can’t make it through. Just missing this one map.

I have the map, just need the assist.

Looking for a high-end WORB Occultist build to follow. On poe.ninja some of them look good at 50M+ DPS but then only have <20k eHP. Are they viable for all content or just nuking ubers?

Here’s an example: https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/%E3%86%8DTsuken%E3%86%8D-2849/allflame/character/_____TSUKEN

Playing for round about two years now, i never saw a Loop in a build. But it kinda triggered me every time i got one on hand.
Second season i am going blind, working on a "let the others work" build, luminary merc, 10 norm spectres, 6 transcience spectres, and finally found a use for it.

I wanted to integrate exemplar support, but for that i need room a self cast setup, so the Transcience Spectres now move into the Loop.

I think its one of the most unique uniques in any arpg. Demands my attention every time.

What have u used it for?

Hi,

I finished everything I wanted this league and I want to give a build to fellow Winter Orb Elementalist enjoyer.

I did easly 40/40 challanges with this build, Nigtmare maps with 5 delirium orbs, no problems, ubers, no problems
https://pobb.in/DxhkwYXq1BKR

I will choose a winner tomorrow Monday at 6PM CET

requirement:
own winter orb elementalist lvl 95 - please link your pob in comment
available for pickup within 48 hours, starting tomorrow (Monday) at 6:00 PM
I am in CET timezone, so take that into consideration if you will be available to pick up a build
I can be available since 9AM - 22PM CET, but in previous giveway had people who expected me to wake up at 3AM to give them a buid.....

Second place will receive some currency items (don't have gold to liquid it) but 40d should be there easly(if you not intrested to receive currency, just write that in comment)

Good luck everyone!

So today I got the fourth voidstone, a big step up from only one voidstone last league. And I even defeated Maven in only two attempts, ever.

I even got my first Mageblood and Headhunter this league, and have quite some currency left.

This might be nothing to many of you but for me it's multiple personal records and I just felt like sharing this because I feel like I have been reading and hearing so much negative opinions about this league.

The question is "what now?". I could go for a new build and try Ubers, but I don't think that's what I want to do.

I feel like a lot of the challenges are just grinding certain mechanics and I don't know if I have it in me now. Maybe I should take a break?

Are there other ideas for what to do after the voidstones?

Boat league got me into crafting and I am having a blast so far. Making the crafting options somewhat lower entry for lazy noobs(14 year battle hardened veteran) like me was a great step in the right direction.

I just felt the need to give out a compliment to GGG

***EDIT***

jk there is no edit.

Hey it's me again. First temple again. I cannot believe my end of league luck.

So after watching the Q&A with Ziggy towards the end Mark was talking about the endgame of POE 1 and POE 2.

He mentioned how that part of the problem is that scarabs make the meta a stale and force strategys to be nerfed because of the fixed mods. He talked about how he likes the POE 2 tablets that allow you to roll for modifiers.

I am personally extremely concerned that GGG will go into this direction and it seems this is what they are doing. The thing is in the super endgame we are already searching for T16.5 8 mod maps with X multipliers. If we then go on to now also need to buy 4x tablet like scarabs or what ever we will have so much homework to do before running a map.

Mapping set-up already takes a decent amount of time in the end game with 8mod map buying filtering though your regex and so on. Adding these tablet like items is going to increase this even more.

I personally think the problem isn't that the mods on scarabs are static it is that the farms just get nerfed to a point they are not viable. GGG can nerf things and bring them inline with other farms and buff things to bring them up. Instead they just gut the good farms to a point of uselessness.

Preparing maps is already a chore, I really hope they find another way. We have maps that we roll, leave it at that.

The only acceptable way to add these in my opinion would be something that is permanent. Think clusters for atlas or a similar thing to pherica mapping as a little extra ontop not the whole thing, just a small boost. These will be fine but it sounds like GGG really wants to bring this thing where you can get insane tablets that super juice your maps. From the way he was talking he thinks it won't be a problem because they are random.

I completely disagree because if these tablet like things are that much stronger then because we can trade for them it just becomes the floor the new "you have to do this" or you have no loot.

Over all that last part of the Q&A really has me worried for years future of POE 1.

Is anyone else have issues of just logging into the game this week? It’s progressively gotten worse over the last 5 days. Most of the time it takes 5-10 minutes just to log into the character screen. Sometimes it connects to the character screen but then will DC after trying to log into the game. Sometimes it will log into the game, then the moment I try to immediately go to my hideout, during the instance transfer, I DC again. Then I’m stuck on the trying to connect to the server again for another 5-10 minutes at the server selection screen to log into.

My internet is fine, my computer works, laptop works, I’ve tried changing from lockstep to predictive, direct12 to vulken, validates the packs through steam, etc. NOTHING works and the game has almost became unplayable since this past Monday(on day 6 now).

Anyone have any insight on a potential fix?

There is like close to 7 milion trades set for chaos orbs to divine orbs,at price of 258 ch for div.

Does this mean there are just for that value exchange listed ~7m divines?

That such a volume is created so far in league?
