In times long past, you would actually consume the quality when using a jewelers or fusing. Unless the RNG hates you, at which point no amount of quality can ever fix it.

I'm running Enki's Arc witch, looking to upgrade my gear. Part of the build is Wave of Conviction liked to hexblast and conductivity, which will eventually be automated with a weapon that has the "trigger socketed spell" modifier. Here's my question: I found a ring that has all the modifiers I'm looking for, but also has "Curse Enemies with Conductivity on hit, with 20% increased effect". Is there any reason not to run this over the current gem setup?

I'd probably use it. The trigger craft means you don't apply the curse every time you use a skill and the increased effect from a high level curse gem is less important than just applying the curse in the first place.

You should still use Wave of Conviction in that trigger setup though, since it applies exposure to the element that it deals the highest damage with. Also that trigger craft is super cheap, you should get it if you got 2c.

Wuxi posted:Its a 1to1 copy of steelmages CoC build. The watcher's eye is mostly a meme, a woke-orb chest is super unnecessary on SC, just ditch the Fortify gem and use Increased Critical Strikes. Yeah obviously no HH. What do you think about losing the spell crit chance on the shield? I imagine it'll still feel fine, it drops the effective crit chance by like 1.5%. There are like 3 shields in SC trade that have all 3 mods.

I'm switched over to attack crit gc/bf now, with an abyssus with an alright enchant, a vuln ring, and a new cluster setup. Damage roughly quadrupled. Take advantage of the generosity if you're new, or just haven't made as much progress this league as you'd like!

Cretin90 posted:My pleasure. I still have 80 ex so just message me on here when/if you have time. And my goondolences for your loss. Thanks again for the exalts, added ~200k DPS to my Arc witch! ...which somehow now has terrible survivability. I've repeatedly checked and cannot find anything I've changed that would lower res/HP/etc. For some reason, having Vaal Righteous Fire slotted but not activated caused me to take damage whenever I hit anything. This makes no sense, yet unslotting it instantly fixed that issue. Chaos resist is only 50% which I need to find a way to fix but that doesn't explain why I went from cautiously but comfortably running T9 maps and temple incursions to getting one-shot by the same content. PoB link here if anyone is willing to take a look and tell me what I need to fix. Unless I goofed the settings, PoB says I should be doing 600k DPS with Arc/Sigil alone, with another 100k with Wave of Conviction/Blade Blast, but it feels way less than that.

Vorenus posted:Thanks again for the exalts, added ~200k DPS to my Arc witch! That PoB is a horrible mess, with a few sets of skills and gear. If you import a character do so on a clean build or tick the boxes to delete prior skills/gear/jewels First glance I don't see anything why you should have problems with yellow maps. Yeah, its not particularly tanky, but yellows aren't particularly hard either. Maybe you went overboard on damage rolls and decided to facetank everything for a few maps 600k dps sounds very low. Get your gem levels up to snuff (especially a lvl20 Archmage and a 21 Arc) and you should be looking at ~1.5mil dps with that gear and no Righteous Fire.

McFrugal posted:You're not immune to reflect so I'd put good odds on the self-damage to be from that. Or Corrupted Blood. New PoB. I have a flask to stop corrupted blood, and I've been careful to avoid any reflect maps. I know a couple of unique enemies can reflect, but is that a thing with some rare/magic mobs now? pork never goes bad posted:Did you turn on righteous fire? If you're using it for the more spell damage buff on the vaal skill, don't turn on the normal version. I'm using it (Vaal version) for short-term burst against bosses. It shouldn't be doing anything if it's slotted but not activated right? The only thing I can think of is if I built up enough soul gain to trigger it automatically with the weapon mod and just didn't notice it activate, but I'm pretty sure I almost self-RIPped on a mob, backed off and saw it was still charged and ready to activate. I feel incredibly dumb because I know it has to be something ridiculous/obvious I'm missing here.

StashAugustine posted:hey only just got my uncharted realms passives open, what's the good stuff in there? Uncharted realms is really cool and most of the nodes are quite useful. "The best" thing to do from a moneymaking perspective is paths not taken, which will significantly increase your chances of seeing "complete the harvest" as a zana map objective, and harvest is the most powerful thing in game currently. Of course, that does require either understanding harvest crafts yourself to make gear to use or sell, or selling the crafts on TFT discord or maybe to goons too. Also depends on you having zana missions to use with it. Adept tracker is hard to go wrong with, more conqs, more sirus. The nodes beyond this one are fine too if you want to juice up your sirus kills. A lot of the awakened support gems have dropped in price so they are less exciting, but it is still fun to have more chance at a big lottery drop since the expensive ones are still expensive. Secrets of the stones is good if you have decent watchstones, otherwise take it later once you do have good watchstones. Note though that the game rounds down on certain watchstone mods which makes this less good than it should be, read more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/lkrfjx/25_watchstone_effect_is_a_trap_rounding_makes_it/ Close allies is solid, particularly if you are playing a limited number of hours over a longer total amount of days. Master missions are all generally good to great value at the moment and this gets you more of them. I've had this node for most of the league and it really adds up. Enduring influence - gets you more mileage out of your sextants, which you should absolutely be using on all your maps. There are rarer sextant mods and getting an extra use out of those is quite valuable. Like " area contains zana", or "nemesis monsters drop currency" sextants. Remnants of the past - more guardian maps, pretty straightforward. The nodes beyond this one are also good, but I tend to respec into them once I stockpile up a bunch of guardian maps and elder/shaper fragment sets and run them all at once then respec out of it. I'll note that "Guardian's aid" does not apply for a zana mission into a guardian map, which is rather disappointing. The synthesis nodes I can't really recommend for most players. Synth maps are rare and expensive to buy. If zana shows you a synth map in a mission, these nodes don't even work which seems like it goes against the design of the paths not taken node. That said... if lottery tickets are your thing, synthetic source is a hell of a lottery ticket. The unique synthesis rings and nebulis, if they hit the right implicits, are worth absolute poo poo tons of money. But if you don't get those, you're almost certainly losing money on the cost of the maps.

Vorenus posted:New PoB. Vaal skills can't be triggered so that's not it. Reflect mobs aren't technically a thing anymore but some Rare mobs have "Thorns" which throws out a mortar when they're hit that does damage based on how much they were damaged. Alternatively, could it have been burning or desecrated/caustic ground? Some mobs drop damage over time areas when they die. Other stuff: Your helmet is redundant with your amulet's anoint, change one of them. You should get more life on ring 2. Why not allocate the int nodes at the start of Witch? They'll boost Tempered Mind and save you some passive points since you can refund the crappy spell damage nodes. Your flasks are... weird.

Fixing your flasks and getting more eHP probably helps a lot with survivability in your case, Vorenus. Especially if you're hitting Hunter-influenced maps and getting poisoned.

OK, I really want to get the 36 challenges done this time around for the hideout, something I've not managed to do before. Have been running Hierophant with Ice Nova/Frostbolt on Pledge of Hands for greater spell echo. I'm at the point of starting to do tier 14-16 maps and while I've managed to get by mostly by being careful and spamming movement stills to stay away from enemies, I'm at the point where if an enemy looks at me I keel over. I'm following a guide, but I am really bad at deciding what to buy to improve survivability. I've got 5 EX and around 200 Chaos, can anyone point me toward some things to look out for? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Totoaratavo/characters
