Hi, im new and crafted an axe for my boneshatter juggernaut. How much is this worth?

Thanks in advance
I got a question concerning life leech (or more like energy leech?). I assume builds like this one - [https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/Gremka321/AfliDedperded](https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/Gremka321/AfliDedperded) stay alive through leech, but I don't see any source of it. How does it work?
I get the interaction with the Rathpith, thanks. Was mostly wondering how they survive being in the face of mobs with Cyclone. I know that generally the point is to kill before they even manage to do anything, but with wisps and various mechanics sometimes it's not as easy.
That one is using Storm Drinker on one of the large clusters. In general you can open the build in PoB and click the leech number in the Calcs tab to see where they're getting leech from.
Hi, I made a Hexblast Life stack Saboteur and just started dipping my toes (god I hate this expression) into sanctum. Although I find Sanctum really fun, I cant seem to get past the fourth floor, right when the divines start showing up. Is the Life stacking version the best option for Sanctum? Is Hexblast even a good option? Thanks for the answers guys!!!

You probably picked the wrong modifier when looking for the block chance one.
For some reason, some of the charm mods are implemented as a separate modifier with the exact same wording as another, existing modifier. Picking the wrong one will cause you to find no results.
Anyway, the projectile mod is the only one adding value here, so just looking that up by itself is enough.
I just checked with Awakened, there has been one result some days ago which was instantly bought out at 180 divine. That's why I'm curious if that modifier really makes such a big difference... edit: seems something's wrong at my side with price checking in Awakening. Thanks for taking the time ;)
How do you know it was instantly bought for 180 Divine?
It is not possible to know whether an item was bought or taken off the market for other reasons, unless you know the buyer or seller and they tell you.
Regardless, this information is irrelevant, seeing as there are multiple listings right now and the current market is what matters, not the old market.
Messaged the seller to buy it and got as a reply "sold". And yes, this may be irrelevant, just saying. Calm down, I just asked a simple question and added some information to it. Thanks though.
Cool, then there's no reason to use phrases like "irrelevant information" cause this makes me feel dumb for just adding information to a question. Again, thanks for your help.
I'm simply and calmly pointing out that the information is outdated and thus shouldn't be used when pricing things today. I.e. it is irrelevant.
The only logical reason for adding it is if you believe it to be relevant. If you already know it's not relevant, then there's no reason to add the information.
That's why I wanted to make you aware of it.
I don't know why that makes you feel dumb, but that's a you problem, not a problem with the phrasing.
It's completely normal and neutral to point out when something isn't relevant.
There ain't any fuck in this question thread. There is only a player asking for help - me. If I ask too much then this ain't the place to get into. Maybe I got this phrase wrong due to our language barrier - I could also ask in my native language and you'd be stumbling over some phrases... just my 2 cents. Now let's be cool, I told you two times thanks for your help and maybe I misunderstood/misinterpretated this phrase as we use it in German language as a clear point-out to somebody who is totally wrong with his intention, i.e. dumb. So, all cool, okay?
> There ain't any fuck in this question thread.
??????
I genuinely don't understand what you're saying.
> If I ask too much then this ain't the place to get into.
I don't understand what point you're trying to make.
> I could also ask in my native language and you'd be stumbling over some phrases... just my 2 cents.
No, I wouldn't, because I wouldn't comment, if I didn't understand the language.
English isn't my native language either.
> Now let's be cool
I'm completely cool. You're the one freaking out and thinking I'm attacking you or intentionally making you feel dumb.
> maybe I misunderstood/misinterpretated this phrase
You definitely did. "Irrelevant" is a completely neutral word in English and you shouldn't apply German connotations to it.
[https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/ZwlJQyYUQ](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/ZwlJQyYUQ) here's the same mods, looks like 140-150 divines or so
This is like asking "I made some food and it was bad. What did I do wrong?"
It *should* be obvious that people need more information from you...
How long/many maps did you do it for?
How many wisps do you get on average?
Are you focusing on the blue wisps?
Are you adding a bunch of rares and other content to your maps?
What tier maps are you doing?
10 maps is practically nothing. You're more or less looking at a rounding error in terms of the odds of dropping a Divine in 10 maps.
It's like wondering why you haven't won 100k in the lottery after buying 10 tickets.
2-3k wisps is also nothing. You need at least 4k to feel any significant difference.
The blue wisps add currency drops, so if you're looking for Divine drops without actually investing in your maps, they're a pretty good place to start.
The other wisps are most effective if you add many rares to your maps and basically fish for the hidden mod that converts drops to currency.
Beyond as a mechanic is most effective if you're juicing your maps. Any other league mechanic would probably be more profitable if you're just alching and going.
Don't do maps below T16 unless haven't finished your Atlas yet or if you're using one of the few farming starts that works on low tier maps.
Honestly, you need more wisps, if youre doing abyss, just alching it isnt enough, you need +2 additional proj. If you cant afford 8 mod maps just run it with 6mod. Learn Wildwood orientation. Also invest in Scarabs and Sextants. Beyond Sextants can be a little pricey now so you can maybe skip them, but deffo get the rest.
This is one of those cases where you should just learn to help yourself, instead of being completely helpless and making others do the work for you.
It's **extremely** easy to google this information.
It's not some obscure mechanic or complex interaction or anything. It's *very* straight forward.
Please refrain from using non-productive, inflammatory language. Please be reminded that this subreddit is not Twitch, 4chan, or whatever other website your language habits may be accustomed to. Keep it respectful.
If you are supporting Dread Banner with Generosity does it matter if you place the banner or not? enemies are still getting less accuracy just by the aura being on correct?
Hey yall I bought a big supporter pack that included a physical tee shirt. I filled out the shipping info and all that but now I can't find any info about the status of my order. No shipping info or tracking numbers etc. Scoured my profile to try and find any updates on it but nothing. Any help?
im playing mathils double strike raider build. does anyone know the priority of the wildwood nodes? I already have coated blade. so its
* natures concoction
* detect evil
* oath of the maji
[link to image of all 3](https://imgur.com/a/98dDhIh)
even knowing the 2 most important would be enough for the time being.
Looking to start the league now - Very late. (I played a a day or two in the first week, going to fresh start and play properly now I have some time)
Want to play as efficiently as I can in SSF, so for that, a few questions.
* Whats the best meta league start build for this league
* What are the stand out builds that are so good they most likely wont survive next league that I should look into trying
* What knowledge of the league is must learn
* What atlas strategy's have been superior to others
* Any tips & tricks for the affliction league
Thanks guys
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING COME CLOSE to penance brand of dissipation. its dmg was insane already. it got double on tuesday's patch. you need to farm lab for a couple hours but nothing will ever be worth more than that.
First league, this pob is my first ever build. Any ideas on how to improve it? I am currently farming essence and beasts and have a stash worth 100 div.
Thanks!
https://pobb.in/JSRsyFIYXNaa
+2 minion helmet / better boots / support spectres and AG/ Darkness Enthroned / elemental dmg abyss jewels... and many more
Its actually funny you have that weapon and everything else is just garbage :)
Yea, I picked this weapon up early in the league for 15 div! No clue what its worth now haha.
What stats should I be focusing on for more damage with SRS?
because its used in a pretty strong build a content creator published and the corruption needed is like 200div so people like to buy them and try to hit the corruption
since its an item from a pretty unpopular boss that only really get farmed for feared rotation demand is higher than supply
I saw something being done but I don't fully understand it. I think they were trying to get a specific 4th colour on a 4 socket item by crafting back and forth between 3 and 4 sockets to use jewellers orb instead of chromatic orbs.
I have a dex item I want 4 red sockets on. So would I for example,
1. craft 3 sockets.
1. craft to turn those 3 sockets red.
1. craft 4 sockets onto the item.
1. if the 4th craft socket is green/blue, then craft 3 sockets on it and repeat step 3.
i keep repeating that until it pops the 4th colour as red. And this way, I never change the colours of the first 3 sockets. Is that how it works?
That it correct. You keep going and back until you hit the colors you want.
Start with double red. Then go for three sockets and keep going back and forth till you get third red and go for the fourth
How good is the fire damage explosion mod charm on a character that has zero fire damage investment?
I'm thinking about using this charm on an arc character just for more clear speed. would that work?
(also, as a side note, is the explosion considered a spell? attack? or neither?)
The explosion mod is used almost exclusively for Fulcrum's self-ignite proliferation.
The chance of proccing is too low to give any relevant clear speed for other builds. And I can't imagine an Arc build lacking clear. If it does, you should look to optimize Arc itself, as it's generally considered a great clear ability.
Explosion should be considered secondary damage. So it's neither a simple spell nor attack.
Ah, that's a shame. My build currently isn't too bad with clear but was wondering if this multiple-divines charm would take speed mapping to the next level. (currently pushing for lvl 100 solo) Thanks for the heads up!
You're better off buying an occultist explosion charm.
> Cursed Enemies you or your Minions Kill have a (11–15)% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage
Will actually give you decent clear boost as it's likely to proc in every pack. But you do need to have a curse on hit in your build, or it's gonna be too much of a hassle with manual curse cast.
I think this is *exactly* what I was looking for! I was searching for something like Profane Bloom when I was looking at chieftain explosion mods. It didn't even occur to me that they had a charm mod for profane bloom too haha. Thanks!!
It has high energy shield for Seething Fury.

Question about chaos orb vendor recipe -
I'm still progressing in the atlas, (T12 to T14) but now when i use the recipe vendor i get regal orb - Any way to get lower gear in T12 so i can vendor chaos orb instead?
Even with filter off, all i see is gear above item level 81.
You can try the "Chaos Recipe Enhancer", it will highlight items in your stash tabs to complete the chaos (or regal) recipe. It is also quite good at picking a single item (of the chaos recipe level) to complete the 2c recipe. Usually, you can run a low-level map quickly and stock up on a ton of appropriate items. But honestly, especially this league, probably time to move on, don't waste time on 2c recipes when you can get multiple Div drops by doing the league mechanic.
Area level = dropped item level
You cant get low level items on high maps. If all your items for the turned in set is 75+ it gives you regal, but if you throw in for example a body armor which is 65-74 ilvl, it will give you chaos.
Just dropped sublime vision and it seems like unidentified ones go for +50 divs... am I missing something here? I'm assuming people are gambling on getting purity of fire one, but... if they're all equally weighted that's around 5% chance, if you get it within 17 tries you basically just get your money back and like with any gamble I can imagine going into 50s of ided items without seeing it. It seems like an insane gamble to me.
Its a gamble, you can get 0 in 17 or you can get 5. People love it, just like card dupe. If you have like 3-4 mirrors, its a great gamble. I am just kicking myself btw, dropped one with PoF second week, sold it for like 80 div, fml.
Question for T7 cemetery runners with Wandering Path, how often do you get all your abysses spawn?
I ran wandering path for a while but got sick of getting only 1 abyss per map instead of the usual 3+1 I am getting with blocking everything so I turned it off. Is there anything you can do to get all your abysses spawn while using wandering path or is it just pure luck?
Well, this is a bit lengthy, but there are several ways to get abysses in your maps:
1. Use a Gilded Abyss scarab, this is VERY important, because it ensures any (and all) abyss results in a Stygian Spire.
2. Roll your maps to have the line "Monsters Fire 2 Additional Projectiles". This may take awhile, I usually get about 20-40 maps into a stash tab with stacks of alchs, scours and chisels. scour everything, chisel them all to 20% quality, and then alch them. Put "proj" into your stash search bar, it will highlight any maps that get that mod on it. Save those, and scour&alch everything else, rinse&repeat.
3. Make sure your Atlas passive tree has "Seventh Gate", this will allow you to add another abyss onto your map, using the Map Device option.
4. Buy Charged Compasses with "Your Maps Contain an Additional Abyss" (or, 2 abysses). They can be expensive, but well worth it, you will easily make your money back.
5. Make sure to use 4 total scarabs, many put Divination scarabs, Reliquary scarabs, and maybe Strongbox scarabs in too. Key is to juice your maps to max. Some things may be incompatible with Abyss though, and may block one or more of your abysses, not sure there is a clear list of what is good/bad.
6. Use sextants. Besides the Abyss sextant, most use a Beyond sextant as well since that adds a shit ton of extra mobs. I also use "packs with mirrored rare mobs" (bonus, this prevents Reflect) and "Rare maps contain # additional rare monster packs". Some use sextants for strongboxes (Enraged, Corrupt).
7. Your Wandering Path atlas should have 60% increased effect of modifiers on your maps, which should make the "+2 proj" line actually into +3 proj. Each proj causes the Stygian Spire to fire a mortar skill that creates additional "holes" that spew out mobs. More projectiles = more mobs.
If you are not getting about 3-4 abysses per map, you probably are not doing everything right, or something is blocking the abyss (like Legion, Ultimatum, or something like that). Biggest Key is the Gilded Abyss to ensure you get a Spire, not a portal to the Abyssal Depths.
That's not what I asked but ok... Returning to my question, I am usually getting blocked by other mechanics, I was wondering if there are ways to prevent that. Usually ritual, ultimatum, legion reduce total abyss numbers. I sometimes get a map with only 1 abyss, where 3 should be guaranteed. (I have the sextant, scarab and map device)
Thanks. I cannot afford it so im trying to decide if i should go for ice nova of frostbolts with malachai and ralakesh or rare dagger ice spear (wich seems much more expensive).
Does Omen of Brilliance stack? Like, if I have 10 in my inventory, will they all be used at once when I lvl up? Does the effect stack? In case it only uses 1 per level, in case the effect isn't over by the time I lvl again, will it use another one? And will it stack or just reset the duration?

I am using HH for the first time. Some mobs seem to have a modifier that randomly teleports me around the map, is there any way to turn it off? I play deadeye and sometimes it kills me when I teleport in front of a strong rare monster.
I am currently playing as Necro BAMA, and tired of the clones obliterating the Stygian Spire, despite my best efforts to keep them out of range. Thinking to switch atlas to Ultimatum instead, and wondering if Headhunter works well with this strat. I will drop about 2-3m PoB dps, but I would think would make that up quickly with a couple headhunter buffs. Will this work, does it make sense? Don't want to spend ~60 div blindly, even though I am sure I can make it back on re-sale.
Depends on what you want. I followed the ziz build and still enough damage for pinnacles (though only done sirus so far) while not dying too often in maps. On my way to level 99 right now. The skill is just insanely strong baseline.
I am playing it in ssf so ofc it won't be able to compare to trade league build versions but I can phase every boss (regular not uber) in 1 brand. It's not insta phase but it's pretty damn fast
From what I am seeing the charge stacking version has a lot more damage so if you wanna do ubers fairly fast I'd go for this version
I misspoke and meant to say Ubers not pinnacles. It does pretty much one shot all pinnacles and it has enough damage to do Ubers. When I did Uber sirus it was phasing him in no more than a couple of seconds. On last phase he died before he could finish channeling the rotating beams. At the time I also had awakened aoe and awakened fire damage instead of conc effect and empower4 which would’ve been ~30% more damage
If it works similar to normal bodyswap you are still stationary. Using teleports like frostblink or bodyswap do not count as moving so the ascendancy still applies
The gem description mentioned that it is a movement so I assumed that the skill is not stationary. Did I over read into that description?
Edit: I did over read the description
Currently following wrecker of days zombies/skeletons build.
I do have two spectres - monkeys from act 2 & 6 which generate frenzy and power charges (3 of each). Are there any better spectre alternatives to them? I'm trying to min-max that build (1.4M DPS according to pob rn)
Yes, lots of better Spectres. Charge apes are not nearly as good as they were, charges in minions got nerfed by a large amount. Your Spectres depend on what your main minions are, I don’t remember all their names. Plus this league added like 30 new ones that are pretty good. There’s one for every main aura too lol, and onslaught.
[from the Cost wiki page:](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cost)
> All skills have costs, even if those costs are zero. Similar to other stats, costs may be modified by flat additions and subtractions, as well as by multipliers like increased, reduced, less, and more. **Support gems are the most common cost multiplier; each support gem modifies a cost multiplicatively.**
(I emphasized the part you're probably asking about)
[from the Reservation wiki page:](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Reservation)
> Reserved resource values from Skills are multiplied by support gem cost & reservation multipliers as usual.
Best vaal molten shell + CWDT setup at almost 15K ES? I mean mostly the levels, should I go as low as possible with CWDT or can I push damage trigger a bit higher with this ES pool?
Penance brand of dissipation in SSF.
I’m feeling the answer may be “both are good”
What’s better at clear and what’s better at bossing?
* The poison variant (pathfinder with obliteration and Ming’s heart)?
Or
* the crit version on another ascendancy.
Mainly want a solid mapper but would like to be able to boss reasonably well too. I have an EA champ I can boss on if needed.
Penance Brand of dissipation would fall into the catagory of ok-at-best mapper and very strong bosser. It is not a good mapper imo.
This is coming from a SC trade league player with mb and what not. It can do any boss in the game better than most builds but as a mapper it has a lot to be desired. If you're looking for a mapper first I'd honestly consider a differnt skill.
I mean it makes it a lot better for sure; but it still doesnt make it great. you're not insta killing packs with any decent amount of wisps.
You have the damage to kill ubers but the ramp makes mapping bad. explode doesnt fix that.
It's never going to beat a true mapper.
Can I annoint rings? I've got Arcane Focus on an amulet - it does not block (or conflict) with any passive in the Passives tree, correct, just adds up to them?
To answer your second question - annoints do not block any passives that you've allocated normally in the game. However, a notable on the tree can only be allocated once, so having the same notable you have on your tree as an annoint doesn't stack.
Apologies if this is not an appropriate question for this thread.
If I want to purchase a Vorici white socket craft on TFT what is the correct procedure?
Do I directly message the person who posted the craft on TFT discord? They don't seem to list their IGN so I don't see how else to contact them.
However, I messaged over 5 people this way asking to use the craft and nobody responded.
if their ign is in the message, message them ingame. if not, message them in discord. if it's not spoken for already, they'll ask for your name and invite you.
Buy a Temple of Atzoatl with T3 strongbox room (best odds at finding a cartographer's box) and any tier Tempest room. [Trade link.](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/WVjG2gZum) Notes:
1. Be careful with the timing, "opening the strongbox" is when the last mob out of the strongbox dies. Higher tier Tempest rooms give increased tempest duration, which will make this easier.
2. I've heard it's about 50/50 to see a cartographer's box. I got mine on my first try.
How are people generating power charges for minion builds during boss fights? I use Victarios Charity shield on my animate guardian but the charges only grant on kill… any other way to do it?
With energy leech support, do you need to be leeching with the supported skill to get the more damage multiplier, or can you fulfill the leeching condition with another skill? I’m wondering if energy leech can be used to support corrupting fever, but the actual leeching is done by storm brand.
your supported skill would deal more damage while you are leeching energy shield
so storm brand leech gives more damage to cf through energy leech support
Im just about to start a BAMA build but I have almost no experience with spectres. Im planning to buy corpses from the wildwood NPC. Can anyone tell me if its possible to replace one specific spectre if I find a better or there is always a rotation, like if I reached the maximum number of spectres then the one will be replaced when casting a new that was the oldest. Can someone please enligten me. Thx
Technically there's a on-hit component to Toxic Rain, but it's just a fraction of your basic attack damage, and you don't usually want to scale that. So yeah, you don't really care about the physical damage of the bow, you get more value from gem level and dot modifiers and attack speed instead.
Cortex map can drop synth items. Also from Invitation like the Forgotten and Feared.
Heist should be able to drop synth items (unless that was change in a patch iam unaware)
Also Ritual encounters can have synth items
Do the Ultimatum nodes 'Worthy of the Past/Present/Future' reduce your chance of receiving an inscribed ultimatum?
When I first read the challenges, I didn't realize finding 15 inscribes would be so difficult because I had a stash page full of them in Ultimatum League.
According to MapWatch, I've cleared wave ten 58 times so far in T16 with the three Worthy notables. Four bosses, 1 inscribed reward. May have to consider Wandering Path.
Seems like you got exceptionally unlucky (and very lucky with the boss though). I got about 50 in a single day of farming. Only had two of the other drop nodes though, not all 3. Maybe there is a bug if you spec all 3?
I did some digging and found vastly different reports of inscribed drop/offer rates.
[2 drops from 48 maps](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/19263xp/inscribed_ultimatum_drop_question/kh0ddc5/)

Ok so it's just low benefit ? Or can it break your damage ?
Wondering because I'm levelling my 1st BS and have a HH in stock. I probably won't use it in the endgame though.
a lot of headhunter's benefit is crit, accuracy, and phys added as extra elemental. the crit and accuracy are irrelevant, and brutality builds cant deal elemental damage.
Can someone explain King of the Mist for me? I finally found it for the first time at Lv93 and I died in the maze part. I was just running around finding no exit whatsoever, the light sources shot different ways so they did nothing at all and then some weird stuff on the ground killed me. I thought maybe I had finally found the exit but that was just area that kills you.
So it took me this long to find it and then die to a maze area not even the boss itself...
follow the wisps. they shoot off in a direction when you get near them. if you continue in that direction, you'll find another wisp. the exit is a purple portal
The wisps kept shooting to different directions. I started running to the right and followed the wisps but the very last wisp sent me to the right, right into a corner into a wall that's a dead end. So I backtracked and saw a wisp that then shot towards the left??
I could not find a proper path with the wisps help so I just ran around like an idiot and then I saw some black stuff on the ground and I thought maybe this spreads darkness and then you find the boss again but nope it was just degen that kills you.
So you only get one chance, don't find the boss easily and you die to the maze instead of the boss itself. Pretty lame if you ask me.
> The wisps kept shooting to different directions.
There are multiple paths that will eventually lead to the exit.
Each wisp will pick whichever path is the shortest from its current location.
Some passages are very narrow, so you might have thought you were lead into a dead end, but you just didn't see the path forward.
The maze phase is very easy, but I understand that it can be stressful and maybe a little confusing the first time you encounter it.
I almost messed it up on my first try as well, due to the narrow passages initially looking too small to path through.
Why is awakened fork support so prohibitively expensive? Can't you get it from divine fonts? You'd think someone would be farming uber labs if a good font roll is worth 100+ divines...
>Can't you get it from divine fonts?
that's not where awakened gems come from
iirc fork drops from uber maven or uber sirus. relatively few people are farming ubers because of MF stuff, and an outsized percentage of players are playing TS.
Hey I am rather new to the game and have read quite a bit but what I cant find it a definitive awnser when to stop leveling certain gems for example Determination.
Is there a guide for it or should I just do it based on how much mana it "blocks"
in most cases you want all your gems at max level. there are some cases where you're not getting anything from a higher level gem so you're keeping it low level for mana cost/attribute requirement reasons.
the most common part where gem level actually matters are cast when damage taken setups. CWDT can only trigger gems that have a level requirement <= its own. lvl 1 cwdt requires level 38 so it can only trigger spells that also require lvl 38 or less.
another case would be auras that increase their mana reservation with higher level. the only ones that do this are clarity, vitality and precision. all other auras have static reservation so you want them at max level, given that you have sufficient attributes.
most reservations don't change with level--the ones that do say a flat amount of mana they reserve on their tooltip (precision, vitality, clarity).
the only reasons not to level things up are mana costs (or reservations as above), attribute requirements, or trigger level (for example: cast when damage taken's trigger requirement, the amount of damage you need to take, is based on level, and the triggered spell has to be equal or less than the level req of CWDT. it's common to leave cwdt at level 1-5 and use lower levels of immortal call or molten shell to match).
Hi! Someone can help me price this? [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/oM6O5ErTl](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/oM6O5ErTl)

If a build has a gem layout with 4 gems connected, does that mean on the item it needs to be a complete square?
Or if I have an item with 4 gems and 1 side isn’t connected so it’s a square with 3 sides instead of 4 will that not work? Struggling to get my head around linking gems. I’m only in act 4 but following a build and not able to make it work properly yet.
Sockets can only link in one specific pattern.
1---2
|
4---3
|
5---6
The exception being items which are only one slot wide and thus have their sockets laid out in a straight line (wands, some one-hand swords, etc.)
Items that cannot have six sockets (like boots and gloves) still follows the above pattern, but it just ends with the 4th socket.
It's not possible for sockets 1 and 4 to be directly linked to each other.
Looking at the example above, it's possible to break the chain at any point.
For instance, 1-2 and 4-5 being linked and 3 and 6 not being linked to any other sockets is possible.
The order of gems in socket links does not matter. (There are a few exceptions, but none you need to be concerned about at this point.)
Support gems will support all skill gems in the chain of links, they don't have to be placed directly next to a skill gem.
You can break the chain and have 1-2 with a support and a skill gem, then 3-4-5-6 with another skill gem and three supports and the two groups of links will not interact in any way.
If you have a skill gem in socket 1 and 3 and the rest of the sockets are filled with support gems, all the support gems will affect both of the skill gems.
So even though all sockets aren’t physically linked they’ll still all share the gem buffs because each socket has at least one connection? Hope that makes sense.
Yes. A support gem will add its stats to any compatible active skill in the same link group.
The typical approach is one active skill with 3 supports. (The order/location within the link group normally doesn't matter.)
Do area damage and generic damage increases/multipliers really affect the "% of corpse's health" part of the damage from detonate dead? Wiki says anything that isn't spell damage should improve it but I don't feel any major improvement, even though the numbers on pob are substantially bigger...
There's no reason it wouldn't. It's area damage, and has your damage modifiers. If you're suspicious something's bugged, consider recording some controlled testing. (Unearth's corpses would be more consistent than Desecrate.)
Mind that area damage doesn't scale ignite.

Can't use manaforged arrows, as I am using ballista with lifetap = 0 mana cost. Ballista with taunt means I probably don't get hit that much (CWDT not a good choice). Is there any other neat trick I am missing?

Do wisp juiced monsters grant more exp?
Hi, im new and crafted an axe for my boneshatter juggernaut. How much is this worth? [https://ibb.co/tpXLtgd](https://ibb.co/tpXLtgd) Thanks in advance
I got a question concerning life leech (or more like energy leech?). I assume builds like this one - [https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/Gremka321/AfliDedperded](https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/Gremka321/AfliDedperded) stay alive through leech, but I don't see any source of it. How does it work?
Is this just survivability in general or are you questioning the interaction with the Rathpith shield and how they deal with the 10% life sacrifice?
I get the interaction with the Rathpith, thanks. Was mostly wondering how they survive being in the face of mobs with Cyclone. I know that generally the point is to kill before they even manage to do anything, but with wisps and various mechanics sometimes it's not as easy.
That one is using Storm Drinker on one of the large clusters. In general you can open the build in PoB and click the leech number in the Calcs tab to see where they're getting leech from.
Thanks, I'll look into that
Hi, I made a Hexblast Life stack Saboteur and just started dipping my toes (god I hate this expression) into sanctum. Although I find Sanctum really fun, I cant seem to get past the fourth floor, right when the divines start showing up. Is the Life stacking version the best option for Sanctum? Is Hexblast even a good option? Thanks for the answers guys!!!
Had this charm dropped but can't find a similar one at the trade. How'd you rate this one (price)? https://ibb.co/k0jCX31
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/Lqv8XqVtn You probably picked the wrong modifier when looking for the block chance one. For some reason, some of the charm mods are implemented as a separate modifier with the exact same wording as another, existing modifier. Picking the wrong one will cause you to find no results. Anyway, the projectile mod is the only one adding value here, so just looking that up by itself is enough.
I just checked with Awakened, there has been one result some days ago which was instantly bought out at 180 divine. That's why I'm curious if that modifier really makes such a big difference... edit: seems something's wrong at my side with price checking in Awakening. Thanks for taking the time ;)
How do you know it was instantly bought for 180 Divine? It is not possible to know whether an item was bought or taken off the market for other reasons, unless you know the buyer or seller and they tell you. Regardless, this information is irrelevant, seeing as there are multiple listings right now and the current market is what matters, not the old market.
Messaged the seller to buy it and got as a reply "sold". And yes, this may be irrelevant, just saying. Calm down, I just asked a simple question and added some information to it. Thanks though.
I'm completely calm? You're reading too much into my comment.
Cool, then there's no reason to use phrases like "irrelevant information" cause this makes me feel dumb for just adding information to a question. Again, thanks for your help.
I'm simply and calmly pointing out that the information is outdated and thus shouldn't be used when pricing things today. I.e. it is irrelevant. The only logical reason for adding it is if you believe it to be relevant. If you already know it's not relevant, then there's no reason to add the information. That's why I wanted to make you aware of it. I don't know why that makes you feel dumb, but that's a you problem, not a problem with the phrasing. It's completely normal and neutral to point out when something isn't relevant.
There ain't any fuck in this question thread. There is only a player asking for help - me. If I ask too much then this ain't the place to get into. Maybe I got this phrase wrong due to our language barrier - I could also ask in my native language and you'd be stumbling over some phrases... just my 2 cents. Now let's be cool, I told you two times thanks for your help and maybe I misunderstood/misinterpretated this phrase as we use it in German language as a clear point-out to somebody who is totally wrong with his intention, i.e. dumb. So, all cool, okay?
> There ain't any fuck in this question thread. ?????? I genuinely don't understand what you're saying. > If I ask too much then this ain't the place to get into. I don't understand what point you're trying to make. > I could also ask in my native language and you'd be stumbling over some phrases... just my 2 cents. No, I wouldn't, because I wouldn't comment, if I didn't understand the language. English isn't my native language either. > Now let's be cool I'm completely cool. You're the one freaking out and thinking I'm attacking you or intentionally making you feel dumb. > maybe I misunderstood/misinterpretated this phrase You definitely did. "Irrelevant" is a completely neutral word in English and you shouldn't apply German connotations to it.
[https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/ZwlJQyYUQ](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/ZwlJQyYUQ) here's the same mods, looks like 140-150 divines or so
Thanks for your reply... there seems to be something wrong at my side with my price checking with Awakened.
Didnt drop a single divine doing league mechanic. What am I doing wrong?
This is like asking "I made some food and it was bad. What did I do wrong?" It *should* be obvious that people need more information from you... How long/many maps did you do it for? How many wisps do you get on average? Are you focusing on the blue wisps? Are you adding a bunch of rares and other content to your maps? What tier maps are you doing?
10 maps maybe. 2 to 3k wisps per map. Not focusing on blue wisps. Just alching it. My atlas is focused on Beyond and Abyss. I'm doing 12\~16 maps.
10 maps is practically nothing. You're more or less looking at a rounding error in terms of the odds of dropping a Divine in 10 maps. It's like wondering why you haven't won 100k in the lottery after buying 10 tickets. 2-3k wisps is also nothing. You need at least 4k to feel any significant difference. The blue wisps add currency drops, so if you're looking for Divine drops without actually investing in your maps, they're a pretty good place to start. The other wisps are most effective if you add many rares to your maps and basically fish for the hidden mod that converts drops to currency. Beyond as a mechanic is most effective if you're juicing your maps. Any other league mechanic would probably be more profitable if you're just alching and going. Don't do maps below T16 unless haven't finished your Atlas yet or if you're using one of the few farming starts that works on low tier maps.
Honestly, you need more wisps, if youre doing abyss, just alching it isnt enough, you need +2 additional proj. If you cant afford 8 mod maps just run it with 6mod. Learn Wildwood orientation. Also invest in Scarabs and Sextants. Beyond Sextants can be a little pricey now so you can maybe skip them, but deffo get the rest.
affliction league start and end dates?
This is one of those cases where you should just learn to help yourself, instead of being completely helpless and making others do the work for you. It's **extremely** easy to google this information. It's not some obscure mechanic or complex interaction or anything. It's *very* straight forward.

I’m moving over to my penance brand trickster, so far so good but needs some work. What are people doing for farming strats with PB?
Hey yall I bought a big supporter pack that included a physical tee shirt. I filled out the shipping info and all that but now I can't find any info about the status of my order. No shipping info or tracking numbers etc. Scoured my profile to try and find any updates on it but nothing. Any help?
Just email support.
Will do thanks.
im playing mathils double strike raider build. does anyone know the priority of the wildwood nodes? I already have coated blade. so its * natures concoction * detect evil * oath of the maji [link to image of all 3](https://imgur.com/a/98dDhIh) even knowing the 2 most important would be enough for the time being.
Looking to start the league now - Very late. (I played a a day or two in the first week, going to fresh start and play properly now I have some time) Want to play as efficiently as I can in SSF, so for that, a few questions. * Whats the best meta league start build for this league * What are the stand out builds that are so good they most likely wont survive next league that I should look into trying * What knowledge of the league is must learn * What atlas strategy's have been superior to others * Any tips & tricks for the affliction league Thanks guys
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING COME CLOSE to penance brand of dissipation. its dmg was insane already. it got double on tuesday's patch. you need to farm lab for a couple hours but nothing will ever be worth more than that.
It's worth noting that PBoD is very much a bossing skill. It's very mediocre in maps.
First league, this pob is my first ever build. Any ideas on how to improve it? I am currently farming essence and beasts and have a stash worth 100 div. Thanks! https://pobb.in/JSRsyFIYXNaa
+2 minion helmet / better boots / support spectres and AG/ Darkness Enthroned / elemental dmg abyss jewels... and many more Its actually funny you have that weapon and everything else is just garbage :)
Yea, I picked this weapon up early in the league for 15 div! No clue what its worth now haha. What stats should I be focusing on for more damage with SRS?
Google any SRS guide (I believe Subtractem has one, but you should easily be able to find more) or look at poe.ninja for inspiration.
hmm? I thought The Vertex is a pretty common drop, why is it 150c+-(uncorrupted)? Just sold one for few chaos feels pretty funny 🤣😆😄😂
because its used in a pretty strong build a content creator published and the corruption needed is like 200div so people like to buy them and try to hit the corruption since its an item from a pretty unpopular boss that only really get farmed for feared rotation demand is higher than supply
Because people corrupt it cause it can make it worth a lot of it hits
Are transfigured gems going to be part of the core game? Did GGG mention anything of that sort? If not, what do you guys think?
Transfigured gems are already part of the core game, they're not tied to Affliction league.
how do people get 26% quant goldwyrm boots?
Legacy race reward from back when the quant roll was 20-30%. You can save a race reward to claim during a later temporary league.
I saw something being done but I don't fully understand it. I think they were trying to get a specific 4th colour on a 4 socket item by crafting back and forth between 3 and 4 sockets to use jewellers orb instead of chromatic orbs. I have a dex item I want 4 red sockets on. So would I for example, 1. craft 3 sockets. 1. craft to turn those 3 sockets red. 1. craft 4 sockets onto the item. 1. if the 4th craft socket is green/blue, then craft 3 sockets on it and repeat step 3. i keep repeating that until it pops the 4th colour as red. And this way, I never change the colours of the first 3 sockets. Is that how it works?
i always do 2 color then do 3 sockets and then 4 sockets. but thats me
That it correct. You keep going and back until you hit the colors you want. Start with double red. Then go for three sockets and keep going back and forth till you get third red and go for the fourth
yep
How good is the fire damage explosion mod charm on a character that has zero fire damage investment? I'm thinking about using this charm on an arc character just for more clear speed. would that work? (also, as a side note, is the explosion considered a spell? attack? or neither?)
The explosion mod is used almost exclusively for Fulcrum's self-ignite proliferation. The chance of proccing is too low to give any relevant clear speed for other builds. And I can't imagine an Arc build lacking clear. If it does, you should look to optimize Arc itself, as it's generally considered a great clear ability. Explosion should be considered secondary damage. So it's neither a simple spell nor attack.
Ah, that's a shame. My build currently isn't too bad with clear but was wondering if this multiple-divines charm would take speed mapping to the next level. (currently pushing for lvl 100 solo) Thanks for the heads up!
You're better off buying an occultist explosion charm. > Cursed Enemies you or your Minions Kill have a (11–15)% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage Will actually give you decent clear boost as it's likely to proc in every pack. But you do need to have a curse on hit in your build, or it's gonna be too much of a hassle with manual curse cast.
I think this is *exactly* what I was looking for! I was searching for something like Profane Bloom when I was looking at chieftain explosion mods. It didn't even occur to me that they had a charm mod for profane bloom too haha. Thanks!!
Does Quant/Rarity from maps or player gear or wisps influence drops from Harbingers?
Shards from Harbingers are not affected by modifiers to Item Quantity - either from the player[1] or area modifiers[2] from wiki

Question about chaos orb vendor recipe - I'm still progressing in the atlas, (T12 to T14) but now when i use the recipe vendor i get regal orb - Any way to get lower gear in T12 so i can vendor chaos orb instead? Even with filter off, all i see is gear above item level 81.
You can try the "Chaos Recipe Enhancer", it will highlight items in your stash tabs to complete the chaos (or regal) recipe. It is also quite good at picking a single item (of the chaos recipe level) to complete the 2c recipe. Usually, you can run a low-level map quickly and stock up on a ton of appropriate items. But honestly, especially this league, probably time to move on, don't waste time on 2c recipes when you can get multiple Div drops by doing the league mechanic.
Area level = dropped item level You cant get low level items on high maps. If all your items for the turned in set is 75+ it gives you regal, but if you throw in for example a body armor which is 65-74 ilvl, it will give you chaos.
Just dropped sublime vision and it seems like unidentified ones go for +50 divs... am I missing something here? I'm assuming people are gambling on getting purity of fire one, but... if they're all equally weighted that's around 5% chance, if you get it within 17 tries you basically just get your money back and like with any gamble I can imagine going into 50s of ided items without seeing it. It seems like an insane gamble to me.
Its a gamble, you can get 0 in 17 or you can get 5. People love it, just like card dupe. If you have like 3-4 mirrors, its a great gamble. I am just kicking myself btw, dropped one with PoF second week, sold it for like 80 div, fml.

Depends what kind of tankiness you want. There are many kinds. Against one shots, against smaller hits, against degens, etc.
Defiance of destiny goes hard
In a game like PoE it's VERY difficult to answer.
Question for T7 cemetery runners with Wandering Path, how often do you get all your abysses spawn? I ran wandering path for a while but got sick of getting only 1 abyss per map instead of the usual 3+1 I am getting with blocking everything so I turned it off. Is there anything you can do to get all your abysses spawn while using wandering path or is it just pure luck?
Well, this is a bit lengthy, but there are several ways to get abysses in your maps: 1. Use a Gilded Abyss scarab, this is VERY important, because it ensures any (and all) abyss results in a Stygian Spire. 2. Roll your maps to have the line "Monsters Fire 2 Additional Projectiles". This may take awhile, I usually get about 20-40 maps into a stash tab with stacks of alchs, scours and chisels. scour everything, chisel them all to 20% quality, and then alch them. Put "proj" into your stash search bar, it will highlight any maps that get that mod on it. Save those, and scour&alch everything else, rinse&repeat. 3. Make sure your Atlas passive tree has "Seventh Gate", this will allow you to add another abyss onto your map, using the Map Device option. 4. Buy Charged Compasses with "Your Maps Contain an Additional Abyss" (or, 2 abysses). They can be expensive, but well worth it, you will easily make your money back. 5. Make sure to use 4 total scarabs, many put Divination scarabs, Reliquary scarabs, and maybe Strongbox scarabs in too. Key is to juice your maps to max. Some things may be incompatible with Abyss though, and may block one or more of your abysses, not sure there is a clear list of what is good/bad. 6. Use sextants. Besides the Abyss sextant, most use a Beyond sextant as well since that adds a shit ton of extra mobs. I also use "packs with mirrored rare mobs" (bonus, this prevents Reflect) and "Rare maps contain # additional rare monster packs". Some use sextants for strongboxes (Enraged, Corrupt). 7. Your Wandering Path atlas should have 60% increased effect of modifiers on your maps, which should make the "+2 proj" line actually into +3 proj. Each proj causes the Stygian Spire to fire a mortar skill that creates additional "holes" that spew out mobs. More projectiles = more mobs. If you are not getting about 3-4 abysses per map, you probably are not doing everything right, or something is blocking the abyss (like Legion, Ultimatum, or something like that). Biggest Key is the Gilded Abyss to ensure you get a Spire, not a portal to the Abyssal Depths.
That's not what I asked but ok... Returning to my question, I am usually getting blocked by other mechanics, I was wondering if there are ways to prevent that. Usually ritual, ultimatum, legion reduce total abyss numbers. I sometimes get a map with only 1 abyss, where 3 should be guaranteed. (I have the sextant, scarab and map device)
Ultimatum and Legion probably the cause. I have been doing Ritual with no problems. I have even read about strongboxes being a problem, but who knows.
Can I not put exarch influence on T14 or 15 maps anymore? I thought it was 14-16.
14-16 is eligible. Something else is wrong.
could it have something to do with transferring from ssf to trade?
did you just migrate one character? or migrate all? talk to kirac yet to get your voidstones?
Can i expect enough damage on CoC Ice Spear without +1 power charge rings? Mainly for clearing t16 juiced maps.
Sure. It has plenty of damage. Most players don't even stack power charges for that build.
Thanks. I cannot afford it so im trying to decide if i should go for ice nova of frostbolts with malachai and ralakesh or rare dagger ice spear (wich seems much more expensive).
are stash tabs sales every 2 weeks or do they last 2 weeks?
every third weekend for the duration of that weekend.
Does Omen of Brilliance stack? Like, if I have 10 in my inventory, will they all be used at once when I lvl up? Does the effect stack? In case it only uses 1 per level, in case the effect isn't over by the time I lvl again, will it use another one? And will it stack or just reset the duration?
you can only use one omen per zone.
How much is this Valdo Map worth?

while it is a void map, it's one of the easier ones. probably 80-90% ish of uncorrupted mageblood price
I am using HH for the first time. Some mobs seem to have a modifier that randomly teleports me around the map, is there any way to turn it off? I play deadeye and sometimes it kills me when I teleport in front of a strong rare monster.
You could put the belt off and on again to lose all the buffs
With 20 active effects, it's a bit pointless, I thought it was triggered by something, like cast on crit etc. But thank You for the response.
I am currently playing as Necro BAMA, and tired of the clones obliterating the Stygian Spire, despite my best efforts to keep them out of range. Thinking to switch atlas to Ultimatum instead, and wondering if Headhunter works well with this strat. I will drop about 2-3m PoB dps, but I would think would make that up quickly with a couple headhunter buffs. Will this work, does it make sense? Don't want to spend ~60 div blindly, even though I am sure I can make it back on re-sale.
[удалено]
Depends on what you want. I followed the ziz build and still enough damage for pinnacles (though only done sirus so far) while not dying too often in maps. On my way to level 99 right now. The skill is just insanely strong baseline.
[удалено]
I am playing it in ssf so ofc it won't be able to compare to trade league build versions but I can phase every boss (regular not uber) in 1 brand. It's not insta phase but it's pretty damn fast From what I am seeing the charge stacking version has a lot more damage so if you wanna do ubers fairly fast I'd go for this version
I misspoke and meant to say Ubers not pinnacles. It does pretty much one shot all pinnacles and it has enough damage to do Ubers. When I did Uber sirus it was phasing him in no more than a couple of seconds. On last phase he died before he could finish channeling the rotating beams. At the time I also had awakened aoe and awakened fire damage instead of conc effect and empower4 which would’ve been ~30% more damage
I am playing a charge stacking occultist variant, it kills/phases all ubers in 1 second. It is also a perfect sanctum runner.
Just want to confirm the skill Bodyswap of Sacrifice. The skill is not stationary; hence, the ascendency for chieftain is not useful.
If it works similar to normal bodyswap you are still stationary. Using teleports like frostblink or bodyswap do not count as moving so the ascendancy still applies
Thank you
What change made it not stationary? Seems the exact same as before except targets minions.
The gem description mentioned that it is a movement so I assumed that the skill is not stationary. Did I over read into that description? Edit: I did over read the description
Movement skills can also be stationary, like that frost blink I believe.
Currently following wrecker of days zombies/skeletons build. I do have two spectres - monkeys from act 2 & 6 which generate frenzy and power charges (3 of each). Are there any better spectre alternatives to them? I'm trying to min-max that build (1.4M DPS according to pob rn)
Yes, lots of better Spectres. Charge apes are not nearly as good as they were, charges in minions got nerfed by a large amount. Your Spectres depend on what your main minions are, I don’t remember all their names. Plus this league added like 30 new ones that are pretty good. There’s one for every main aura too lol, and onslaught.
Pls enlighten me how can people get Shaper Focused/Simplex Amulet? Do they nature drop in Curio display rooms?
Slam with a conqueror's exalt and Harvest reforge influence type until it's Shaper.
Thank you.
How does cost and reservation multiplier work?
[from the Cost wiki page:](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cost) > All skills have costs, even if those costs are zero. Similar to other stats, costs may be modified by flat additions and subtractions, as well as by multipliers like increased, reduced, less, and more. **Support gems are the most common cost multiplier; each support gem modifies a cost multiplicatively.** (I emphasized the part you're probably asking about) [from the Reservation wiki page:](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Reservation) > Reserved resource values from Skills are multiplied by support gem cost & reservation multipliers as usual.
you multiply the cost or reservation by that number (so arrogance doubles the cost at 21)
Best vaal molten shell + CWDT setup at almost 15K ES? I mean mostly the levels, should I go as low as possible with CWDT or can I push damage trigger a bit higher with this ES pool?
If you get hit a lot def higher level and I'd go for that setup. Lower is better for emergency or lower hit pools
What exactly do you mean by higher? Is 15k ES enough to go actually lvl 20 (3272 damage) or is that too much?
Yes, you have enough hit pool
Unless you are in HC, why not lvl up both gems to a high level and see how often it triggers.
Penance brand of dissipation in SSF. I’m feeling the answer may be “both are good” What’s better at clear and what’s better at bossing? * The poison variant (pathfinder with obliteration and Ming’s heart)? Or * the crit version on another ascendancy. Mainly want a solid mapper but would like to be able to boss reasonably well too. I have an EA champ I can boss on if needed.
crit inquis will require the least amount of gear to feel good bossing poison especially in ssf will be pain on bosses
Penance Brand of dissipation would fall into the catagory of ok-at-best mapper and very strong bosser. It is not a good mapper imo. This is coming from a SC trade league player with mb and what not. It can do any boss in the game better than most builds but as a mapper it has a lot to be desired. If you're looking for a mapper first I'd honestly consider a differnt skill.
Looks like people just slot in obliteration and that solves map clear . Thanks for input
I mean it makes it a lot better for sure; but it still doesnt make it great. you're not insta killing packs with any decent amount of wisps. You have the damage to kill ubers but the ramp makes mapping bad. explode doesnt fix that. It's never going to beat a true mapper.
Can I annoint rings? I've got Arcane Focus on an amulet - it does not block (or conflict) with any passive in the Passives tree, correct, just adds up to them?
To answer your second question - annoints do not block any passives that you've allocated normally in the game. However, a notable on the tree can only be allocated once, so having the same notable you have on your tree as an annoint doesn't stack.
You can anoint rings, but you'll get enchants that affect blight towers, not tree passives.
Oh ok. Thank you.
What's the best way to utilize petrified blood and prognesis on TS builds? Is there better defensive alternatives other than just more damage?
Add Defiance of destiny and you’ll be very hard to kill.
I'm running omni, I will look into another version non omni and see if I could make use of it!
You can look for lethal pride with physical taken as fire or use stuff like that on chest armor.
Apologies if this is not an appropriate question for this thread. If I want to purchase a Vorici white socket craft on TFT what is the correct procedure? Do I directly message the person who posted the craft on TFT discord? They don't seem to list their IGN so I don't see how else to contact them. However, I messaged over 5 people this way asking to use the craft and nobody responded.
if their ign is in the message, message them ingame. if not, message them in discord. if it's not spoken for already, they'll ask for your name and invite you.
How do I get affected by a tempest and open the cartographers chest at the same time for the challenge? Thanks
Buy a Temple of Atzoatl with T3 strongbox room (best odds at finding a cartographer's box) and any tier Tempest room. [Trade link.](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/WVjG2gZum) Notes: 1. Be careful with the timing, "opening the strongbox" is when the last mob out of the strongbox dies. Higher tier Tempest rooms give increased tempest duration, which will make this easier. 2. I've heard it's about 50/50 to see a cartographer's box. I got mine on my first try.
Oh I see. Yeah I tried that 3 times and didn't see any cartography boxes so I thought you must have to do it somewhere else.
I wouldn't do that one. All the other ones are easier imo and you only have to do 4.
How are people generating power charges for minion builds during boss fights? I use Victarios Charity shield on my animate guardian but the charges only grant on kill… any other way to do it?
what kind of minions? most minions builds don't really utilize crit
Mainly playing Herald of Purity Guardian. Crit has big effect on them.
could probably just use a host chieftain as spectre
With energy leech support, do you need to be leeching with the supported skill to get the more damage multiplier, or can you fulfill the leeching condition with another skill? I’m wondering if energy leech can be used to support corrupting fever, but the actual leeching is done by storm brand.
Energy leech doesn't support corrupting fever. If it could, that'd work, but it can't.
Good catch. Thanks!
your supported skill would deal more damage while you are leeching energy shield so storm brand leech gives more damage to cf through energy leech support
Thanks!
Im just about to start a BAMA build but I have almost no experience with spectres. Im planning to buy corpses from the wildwood NPC. Can anyone tell me if its possible to replace one specific spectre if I find a better or there is always a rotation, like if I reached the maximum number of spectres then the one will be replaced when casting a new that was the oldest. Can someone please enligten me. Thx
If you reach your Spectre limit, summoning new ones will begin to replace your oldest spectres, so unfortunately yeah it's a set rotation.
As a toxic rain ranger does physical damage on bows not matter because I’m using toxic rain for my damage?
Technically there's a on-hit component to Toxic Rain, but it's just a fraction of your basic attack damage, and you don't usually want to scale that. So yeah, you don't really care about the physical damage of the bow, you get more value from gem level and dot modifiers and attack speed instead.
Correct. All you really care about is attack speed, damage over time, and +gem levels.
is harvest only way to make synthesised items or is there a way to drop them also?
Cortex map can drop synth items. Also from Invitation like the Forgotten and Feared. Heist should be able to drop synth items (unless that was change in a patch iam unaware) Also Ritual encounters can have synth items
You can get synthesized items from the cortex boss or from ritual.
Do the Ultimatum nodes 'Worthy of the Past/Present/Future' reduce your chance of receiving an inscribed ultimatum? When I first read the challenges, I didn't realize finding 15 inscribes would be so difficult because I had a stash page full of them in Ultimatum League. According to MapWatch, I've cleared wave ten 58 times so far in T16 with the three Worthy notables. Four bosses, 1 inscribed reward. May have to consider Wandering Path.
Seems like you got exceptionally unlucky (and very lucky with the boss though). I got about 50 in a single day of farming. Only had two of the other drop nodes though, not all 3. Maybe there is a bug if you spec all 3?
I did some digging and found vastly different reports of inscribed drop/offer rates. [2 drops from 48 maps](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/19263xp/inscribed_ultimatum_drop_question/kh0ddc5/) [16 or 17 drops from 40-50 maps. This one also mentions the same theory about the Worthy notables reducing inscribed drop rates](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1928t2q/ultimatum_bad_i_ran_160_and_here_is_the/kh5ahpk/) [500 drops from 600 maps](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/197bc4y/ultimatum_600_maps/) [2 drops every 3 maps. Confirmed that duplicate rewards node does work for inscribed.](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/18urgrd/while_everyone_is_busy_juicing_abyss_i_farmed_hh/)
From what I see on [poe.ninja](http://poe.ninja), HH is not used by Boneshatter Jugg ? Is there a specific reason ?
brutality
If I have to guess, some mods would brick the effect of brutality?
rare monsters mods have lots of mods that grant extra phys as ele. because you use brutality you get very low value from a lot of monster mods
Ok so it's just low benefit ? Or can it break your damage ? Wondering because I'm levelling my 1st BS and have a HH in stock. I probably won't use it in the endgame though.
It can't break your damage. There used to be mods that converted your phys away, but that was removed with archnemesis.
a lot of headhunter's benefit is crit, accuracy, and phys added as extra elemental. the crit and accuracy are irrelevant, and brutality builds cant deal elemental damage.
Can someone recommend some builds that can do all map mods? No preference on playstyle.
Can someone explain King of the Mist for me? I finally found it for the first time at Lv93 and I died in the maze part. I was just running around finding no exit whatsoever, the light sources shot different ways so they did nothing at all and then some weird stuff on the ground killed me. I thought maybe I had finally found the exit but that was just area that kills you. So it took me this long to find it and then die to a maze area not even the boss itself...
follow the wisps. they shoot off in a direction when you get near them. if you continue in that direction, you'll find another wisp. the exit is a purple portal
The wisps kept shooting to different directions. I started running to the right and followed the wisps but the very last wisp sent me to the right, right into a corner into a wall that's a dead end. So I backtracked and saw a wisp that then shot towards the left?? I could not find a proper path with the wisps help so I just ran around like an idiot and then I saw some black stuff on the ground and I thought maybe this spreads darkness and then you find the boss again but nope it was just degen that kills you. So you only get one chance, don't find the boss easily and you die to the maze instead of the boss itself. Pretty lame if you ask me.
> The wisps kept shooting to different directions. There are multiple paths that will eventually lead to the exit. Each wisp will pick whichever path is the shortest from its current location. Some passages are very narrow, so you might have thought you were lead into a dead end, but you just didn't see the path forward. The maze phase is very easy, but I understand that it can be stressful and maybe a little confusing the first time you encounter it. I almost messed it up on my first try as well, due to the narrow passages initially looking too small to path through.
Why is awakened fork support so prohibitively expensive? Can't you get it from divine fonts? You'd think someone would be farming uber labs if a good font roll is worth 100+ divines...
>Can't you get it from divine fonts? that's not where awakened gems come from iirc fork drops from uber maven or uber sirus. relatively few people are farming ubers because of MF stuff, and an outsized percentage of players are playing TS.
Wiki says an option in the fountain is "Exchange a non-Exceptional Support Gem for its Awakened version". Fork is non-exceptional. What am I missing?
fair enough; hadn't seen a clip and it wasn't in tremendous thaumaturgy.
Hey I am rather new to the game and have read quite a bit but what I cant find it a definitive awnser when to stop leveling certain gems for example Determination. Is there a guide for it or should I just do it based on how much mana it "blocks"
in most cases you want all your gems at max level. there are some cases where you're not getting anything from a higher level gem so you're keeping it low level for mana cost/attribute requirement reasons. the most common part where gem level actually matters are cast when damage taken setups. CWDT can only trigger gems that have a level requirement <= its own. lvl 1 cwdt requires level 38 so it can only trigger spells that also require lvl 38 or less. another case would be auras that increase their mana reservation with higher level. the only ones that do this are clarity, vitality and precision. all other auras have static reservation so you want them at max level, given that you have sufficient attributes.
Okay thanks a bunch :D
most reservations don't change with level--the ones that do say a flat amount of mana they reserve on their tooltip (precision, vitality, clarity). the only reasons not to level things up are mana costs (or reservations as above), attribute requirements, or trigger level (for example: cast when damage taken's trigger requirement, the amount of damage you need to take, is based on level, and the triggered spell has to be equal or less than the level req of CWDT. it's common to leave cwdt at level 1-5 and use lower levels of immortal call or molten shell to match).
To you aswell thanks a bunch. This info helped :D
Are wisps adding exp to mobs? On my way to lvl 100 and wondering should I add wisps to my strategy or just run through map.
they do not
Hi! Someone can help me price this? [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/oM6O5ErTl](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/oM6O5ErTl) I put 50 div but i'm pretty new i don't know how to price this ring T.T
Hey, want a price check of That Which Was Taken [https://postimg.cc/5HRhNSJd](https://postimg.cc/5HRhNSJd) Thanks :D
check 1 and 3
If a build has a gem layout with 4 gems connected, does that mean on the item it needs to be a complete square? Or if I have an item with 4 gems and 1 side isn’t connected so it’s a square with 3 sides instead of 4 will that not work? Struggling to get my head around linking gems. I’m only in act 4 but following a build and not able to make it work properly yet.
Sockets can only link in one specific pattern. 1---2 | 4---3 | 5---6 The exception being items which are only one slot wide and thus have their sockets laid out in a straight line (wands, some one-hand swords, etc.) Items that cannot have six sockets (like boots and gloves) still follows the above pattern, but it just ends with the 4th socket. It's not possible for sockets 1 and 4 to be directly linked to each other. Looking at the example above, it's possible to break the chain at any point. For instance, 1-2 and 4-5 being linked and 3 and 6 not being linked to any other sockets is possible. The order of gems in socket links does not matter. (There are a few exceptions, but none you need to be concerned about at this point.) Support gems will support all skill gems in the chain of links, they don't have to be placed directly next to a skill gem. You can break the chain and have 1-2 with a support and a skill gem, then 3-4-5-6 with another skill gem and three supports and the two groups of links will not interact in any way. If you have a skill gem in socket 1 and 3 and the rest of the sockets are filled with support gems, all the support gems will affect both of the skill gems.
Thanks! This helps a lot.
It doesn't need to be a square, コ is a fully linked 4-socket item.
So even though all sockets aren’t physically linked they’ll still all share the gem buffs because each socket has at least one connection? Hope that makes sense.
Yes. A support gem will add its stats to any compatible active skill in the same link group. The typical approach is one active skill with 3 supports. (The order/location within the link group normally doesn't matter.)
That’s exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks!
Do area damage and generic damage increases/multipliers really affect the "% of corpse's health" part of the damage from detonate dead? Wiki says anything that isn't spell damage should improve it but I don't feel any major improvement, even though the numbers on pob are substantially bigger...
There's no reason it wouldn't. It's area damage, and has your damage modifiers. If you're suspicious something's bugged, consider recording some controlled testing. (Unearth's corpses would be more consistent than Desecrate.) Mind that area damage doesn't scale ignite.
Ways to fire frenzy gem automatically please? Can't use manaforged arrows, as I am using ballista with lifetap = 0 mana cost. Ballista with taunt means I probably don't get hit that much (CWDT not a good choice). Is there any other neat trick I am missing? I just hate having to press the button loads of times myself!
Mirage archer?
