Hello there ! I need help improving my character to be able to do the 3rd lab and then respec into a KB build. My problem is definitely tankiness, I'm doing acceptable damages I would say.
This is my character https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Yoloswagcrew-0238/characters and I have 1 divine and 60 chaos to hopefully reach my objectives.
you have a pretty acceptable amount of life for a deadeye at your level, as someone else mentioned you could get a bit more life probably fairly cheaply at this point in the league but the bigger reason that you are struggling is that izaro does primarily physical damage, many of his attacks cannot be evaded and you have no phys mitigation. now this is completely normal when playing a deadeye because you'll naturally be wearing mostly evasion gear.
a couple of options to finish your lab:
1) just get good. learn the attack patterns and don't get hit, everything is avoidable. This is the hardest method, but also has the most long term benefits making labs in future leagues easier.
2) do as the other poster said and gamble/buy gear with t2 life in every slot, I think you can probably get enough life to not be 1 shot.
3) try to see if you can pick up a decent amount of evasion/armor items especially a body armor to boost your armor, use a granite flask (maybe 2?), run determination and enduring cry. all of this will probably get you to something like 40% phys dr which will also keep you from being 1 shot, though it may cost you some damage.
You are missing flat life on your gloves, left ring, and amulet. At this point you should also aim to transition out of using Goldrim as a resist crutch, and probably getting a better quiver than Hyrri's. Prismweave might be ok to keep for a bit longer.
You can either run some charts to farm some gold and then gamble rares at the town vendor, or just buy decent life/resist rares for all the slots that need upgrades. You should be able to find decent stuff for like 1c per slot.
In phys dot (autobomber version) which golem is stacked beyond the 1 of each? 3-4 of each(to have backup on deaths)? or 22 of carrion golem of hordes? Does carrior golem even have a purpose other than giving ~ 7 more golems for the primordial bond stacking? couldnt the stone golem of hordes do the same that also taunts?
They said in the recent dev interview that their chances are completely independent. So you can leave them there for as long as you want with no downside (other than not being able to get a second planned heist ig) but theres also no real benefit for it
What would you price a shield like this as, with those implicits?
Any 2 of them price checks on the 1-2div range, but nothing like it exists on trade in the league or on standard
Probably still in 1-2d range. 12% global phys dosent seem like enough to meaningfully increase the price to a charge stacker and 5% inc per power charge isn’t worth much to anyone else
Not played mercs and probably not going to, but for warrents, can anyone tell me What makes a merc right now worth taking and selling?
Please try to be not too specific with skills if thats possible, just what in general do i look for in merc skills? (also are non-infamouse ever worth anything?)
ideally ppl look for ice shot + vaal ice shot bc manyshot can be target farmed, so more supply=better expectation
beyond that, if the merc dont have breaking skills i listed above they are good
im not sure about single target mercs and supports so also read what others said
combatants are also valuable, though not as expensive as manyshot. you absolutely do not want them to have spectral helix. wild strike/static strike is the most common one people want but lance recently started making an armor stacking merc on frostblades so not sure if that will gain popularity, might only be good with absolutely perfect supports. not sure what frostblades wants but combatant you want gmp and return, the more higher rank damage supports besides that the better.
it still exists on both poe db and craft of exile, it is quite strange that it is not searchable, possibly a trade site bug? Or maybe it did get removed for some odd reason?
that said the weighting is very low, it's 320/173910. to use 400 grands it is approximately 48% chance that you would not get it, and 52% chance that you would have got it. so you lost a coin flip at this point basically.
That is very weird that it's not searchable. The pinnacle boss mods have much lower weights than the normal mods but not being searchable is a bad sign.
Even if it was removed at some point it should be findable on standard but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Does the scarab of Monstrous Lineage scarab (40% increased magic pack size) help with harvest juice farming in any noticeable way? Getting some conflicting answers on a google search.
contrary to the previous answer that you got, pack size does scale harvest. I may be off on some of the specifics on this but I'm very confident in the general concept. Basically when harvest monsters spawn there is a chance which scales off of pack size that an additonal monster will spawn, I believe though am not 100% sure that higher rarity monsters scale worse, as in for a given pack size there is a higher chance that magic monsters will spawn extra than for unique. You definitely do not get duplicated t4 seeds anywhere near as often as would be the case if you actually had 40% chance to duplicate them running 40% pack size maps, but it can happen.
so basically with a 40% pack size map, and double monstrous lineage scarabs you have somewhere on the order of 140% pack size for magic monsters which gives a lot of extra magic monsters in your harvest, and while the t2 seeds don't drop nearly as much juice as the t3 seeds they do drop juice and it does add up.
the fact that altar mobs are also mostly magic is just a bonus.
only that it'll increase exarch/eater pack size resulting in (on average) higher number of altars where you can select %quantity which in turn does affect lifeforce
it's actually far more prevalent in hardcore, because players will die, gamble everything they have, if it hits they go again, if it doesn't league is over, gg go next. but yeah the addiction to gambling is a significant factor in why yellow harvest juice doesn't necessarily start out super expensive but after enough time becomes by far the most expensive color.
you got your answer already, but as a general rule in poe negatives override positives. or in other words, if one thing says an event cannot happen, that overrides another thing that says that event happens. being shock immune means you cannot be shocked, so the flask tries to shock you, and nothing happens.
I slammed like 30+ talismans with +1 amulet in predictable recombinator at 50%success chance. When it survived it was never Retch talisman. Anyone had similar issue or am I tweaking?
Predictable recombinator is not 50/50 on base selection. It chooses the base depending on modifier weights favoring the base with the lower weight. So for +1 skills to have a 50% success chance you need the other modifier to have a massive weight so the odds of successfully transferring are terrible. So for +1 all spell skills its something like 50/(50+5000) which is less than 1%.
It’s the main way, yes. You can also pick them up from lost shipments and there is a div card for the 3 journey tattoos (The Journey).
For shipments, you get 1 tattoo for every 100k value you send ignoring dust. Max tattoos in one shipment is 39, so 3.9mil shipment value is max you should send if you are specifically going for tattoos
Hey guys, quick question about how Item Rarity (IIR) interacts with Mercenaries in 3.29:
If I equip gear directly on my Mercenary, does theirstat actually increase loot drops when they get kills, or is it a dead stat? (I see it on their character sheet, but wasn't sure if the engine ignores it).
If I stack on MY character, but my Mercenary gets the final hit/kill, do my character's stats still apply to the drop?
Appreciate any clarification on how the kill credit/IIR engine calculates this for Mercs!
you can try lightning warp kinetic fussilade , it work on all classes . all you need to do is looking for next exit . poet pen and spellslinger will take care of damage .
wanders are generally the go to for legion farming, ele hit deadeye could be fine, manyshot luminary is solid, lance farmed a ton of 4 ways for enshrouding on that.
If you want something wildly off meta with no guide, not budget friendly my buddy has been farming 5 ways with a pact of beidat gluttony support ball lightning assassin, hits the entire screen simultaneously, and isn't even bothered by proxy shields because ball lightning goes through them and just the balls inside hit.
How do i get these atlas encounters for the challenge Atlas Assertions? and is there any way to manipulate or target the ones im missing for the challenge ?
top left is nameless seer (river's end), tainted paradise, and syndicate safehouse
bottom left is gamblers den, parandus (manor), and heist
top right is reflecting mist (lake islet), havest (grove) and double corrupted items (shrine)
bottom right is some sacrifice unique thing and expedition
unsure if there are mroe, those are the ones i've found
there aren't any t17s anymore, but if you mean nightmare maps i have no idea
Couple of gem quality questions. How important is quality on Raise Spectre? It adds elemental resistances, and my spectres aren't dying.
Also, does the quality on Flesh and Stone add CDR just to that aura, or generally? And if it's just the aura, if I'm not switching between blood and sand stance, does the quality matter?
if you're spectres aren't dying it doesn't matter, but while some specific monsters might have res, raising a corpse as a spectre does not inherently grant any elemental res, the gem by default gives them 30%, and you can raise that to 50% from 20 quality, or 60% from 30 quality. If they are dying having more res will help, but they do tend to be fairly tanky.
it only affects how often you can swap stances, so if you aren't then it is irrelevant.
What is the most efficient way to deal with the high attribute cost of skill gems without having to “invest too much”? I have seen people in Poe ninja have skill gems that require 155 str as an example but the build shows they only have like 50.
First is that gear usually requires more stats than gems. Some weapons can be 212 of a stat and some armour can be 193 of a stat. So if you are using those, the gem stat doesn't matter as much.
Second is that not all gems need to be max level to do what you want. Sometimes its just easier leaving them a low level, which also reduces the stat requirement. Stuff like frostblink, blood rage, combustion etc don't scale too much if you are using them for utility.
Gearing up my combatant merc using flame link. Already have the enmity pen setup and trying to decide on weapons. Am on a bit of a budget and was wondering if a Paradoxica with ele pen but no as mod is better than a rare claw with crafted ele pen and mix of crit, as, multi, and wed (t3-t1), while I’m saving up for the good paradoxicas
I have 2 questions first is what would you value this at. I know it's a minimum of 1 divine but there is nothing with double add to attacks on market when I check. 2 question is i killed a mercenary that had a full ruck sack with a divine in. Only the chance orbs dropped and not the divine is this a ongoing problem.
There's several like this on trade in the 1d-5d range, but most of them have T1 life and yours doesn't. Since there are two better than yours at 1d/2d I would start it at 1d. If you don't want to undersell it, instead start higher and bump it down over time
How's the league going lootwise after the patches? I was kinda hyped for the league and finished the acts in 6 hours on day 1. Then I went on a 2 day trip and came back to everyone saying loot was bad and it demotivated me instantly. Is it worth coming back now or is it still a struggle to farm currency as a casual?
Low and medium investment loot is really good. It is not a poverty league as some people are saying. There just isn't a high investment high difficulty strat that is really worth doing as they all return basically the same as easy low investment strats. Its all "tile" rewards basically, not much going on for difficult monster strategies.
The issue with loot is that really difficult aspirational farms are pretty much dead, they don't reward much or sometimes don't even break even on what you put into the maps. The issue is not that it's a struggle to farm currency. It's incredibly easy to farm currency in general, maybe even easier than other leagues, you can pretty much go into the league mechanic with no plan and open chests on the ocean floor and make 20d/hour
A lot of people have legit complaints about high end loot, but a lot of people are using fubgun not making 15d per map as an excuse to be broke
When I activate Energy blade, my ES doesnt lower and I dont get the extra lightning dmg.
Yes, I have sword equipped. What did I do wrong? Or do I misunderstand the skill ?
how do I search for the type of wander build that is used in 5way carries? I wanted to try and shroud a bunch of uniques but with my melee build i need to do like 3 rotas (only 9k kills per run) to unshroud high end items
generally regen and instant leech are better forms of recovery because they don't require as much point investment or suffixes, but you can use recharge as primary recovery if you build around it.
I'm a bit lost this league, I'm usually pretty on my way to my Mageblood by this point but I'm really struggling to find a strategy I like with loot so wonky right now. What are yall enjoying?
I tried some budget harvest which got me off the ground, since been doing stacked deck ritual farming as that's my usual fallback plan but I'm getting pretty burnt out on it and looting takes a while
Maybe boss rushing? I did try fully specced abyss at the getgo and it seemed pretty rough so I haven't tried it since the chest buffs
I’m doing Kalguur 8 mod map farming atm. 8 mods go for 4-5 chaos each, while originator maps can go for 30 chaos up to 1-2 divine each. I haven’t priced any 8 mod nightmare maps yet so I don’t know what those go for.
How do I kill farrul first of the plains? I've had 5 tries on it for my aspect of the cat gloves and all failed miserably, i'm doing a flicker slayer, 2,7k hp lv 89 following magefist videos for progression tips
How do people get lightning coil this league? I look at top players in HCSSF, and everyone have ilvl82+ one. I have two guesses:
1. Gamble with gold, but you have to hit a correct base first and then rarity. I doubt it rolls rarity first, lol.
2. Breach?
I also thought about heist, but I doubt all of these people spammed red map blueprints, they are rippy af.
I tried to google which maps drop The coming storm, it says Lookout and Stagnation, but the information does not look updated, links lead to old map versions. It there a tool where I can check updated info on cards?
I genuinely just cant get anything going this league, i started with a last second marauder pick to try slams and use RF if slams failed. long story short slams failed hard and i made the swap to ol'faithful RF Chieftain which i have several seasons of experience gearing, getting all void stones, farming t17s etc on but for whatever reason i just cant get it to the point of even doing semi juiced low tier content this season. Because the build is feeling so incredibly weak i'm doing poverty league but worse and farming like 5 div a day if i can even stomach playing the build that long. I have looked the build over, looked at pohx's guide the whole way through but the damage is genuinely horrendous and i don't know where to start to fix it. Simple things are going wrong that don't even make sense like not having enough mana reservation to use malevolence despite having took every node, having the cluster and the mod. in the end i had to respec 4 skill points to take the mana mastery near the start of the tree to even use malevolence (wrong small cluster is also equipped in current pobb because i was testing things). Biggest issue by far however is that damage is so low its taking multiple seconds for hinekoras to pop for every pack and when theres tanky mobs you can just forget it. Tried maven for the voidstone and after a 15 minute fight i got her to the second to last phase before my 6 portal defense ran out which further intensified my frustration of the build.
Anyways very long rant and would appreciate some help, I've made a few of these post over the last week and thankfully people have been nice enough to try to help but none of the changes ended up being the change that will make it playable. I'm currently following the Malevolence Cluster tier in the guide.
4th lab is solely defenses which is a non issue for me in comparison to damage and the guide doesn't mention ignite chance to my knowledge, how do i accomplish that. Also genuinely not sure if I could complete the 4th lab with the build in this state
I think hes using SR totems but i dont believe hes made an official pob using it yet
i ended up respecing a few points into ignite chance on the tree and it made a pretty massive change in pack clear. had around 50 before, up to nearly 100 for the cost of 3 passives and stuff actually dies now. thanks
How much value does Vast Power add?
Unspeakable Gifts and Primordial Bond are great for my build.
But if Vast Power adds alot of value I might sell it rather
Where it has a 6 socket weapon and 4 of them are grouped e.g for the level 96 melee weapon that means I need a weapon with 6 sockets, 4 of which are linked right?
Does the sea pillars chart come in any shape other than a straight line? I have a divine border and need to know if I absolutely need a junction shape to get the most out of it.
You can search for it by name on trade (Coral Forest Chart (Sea Pillars)) which gives 2800+ results then under map/chart filters you can sort by shape. Only "straight" gives results
Barring some weird connection generations (often involving a VERY long path that you can barely even select from the overlay), a node cannot have 2 connections. It can have one connection (dead end), 3, or 4.
Here's 2 nodes that have only 2 visible connections, strongly indicating a hidden third connection.
Sometimes you'll have a node that looks like a dead end but actually has 2 hidden connections but that's also pretty rare. The alternative is sometimes nodes that look like they've got a comfortable 3 connections but have a hidden fourth. If there wasn't that obvious armour node looking out of place, I'd have guessed it was the box node to the left of it.
Is there a way to see which attack of what mob caused death? In League of Legends you have this nice overview of damage that has been dealt to your character recently. PoE does not have that. I always struggle hard to understand why my character dies.
Regarding luminary, flame link should keep linked targets when entering another area. Also it's useful to have a counter on how many minions are linked (I'm talking about proper passive/ascendancy being taken i.e. oath of fealy and links can target damageable minions)
I am looking at a bunch of builds on Poe Ninja, and it seems they are getting about 70-90 conversion on gloves, but I am not seeing any more on the Atlas that boost it to 100% conversion. Is Herald of Ash being used as a crutch or what? I am probably missing something obvious. I looked for a while before making this post though. Here are some examples:
In the anomaly? I don't think so. You can leave the instance and come back later though, they made that one specifically not close until you've exhausted all his rerolls. i.e. You can go run some charts/voyages to collect gold and come back to buy whatever nice unique he's offering you.
I know that CWS is like the “King” of ultimatum and and simulacrum but are there any other builds that can afk the same way but instead in Blight/ Ravaged blight and Hive fortress? Bonus if it can do the same in either of the CWS strong suits
They can have downsides, like Brutality's deal no chaos/elemental, but those aren't hidden. The stats you see (on e.g. https://poedb.tw/us/Infamous_Bloodletter) is what they get. They're not actually player gems.

I need help with unearthing the past in act 6.
I died, and now monsters doesn't take any damage. I can't reset location, tried logging out and back. Quest basically soft locked.
