A few things I can think of:

- Poacher's Mark will give more phys damage, and 20% quality on it will give Stone Golems 5% chance to get a frenzy charge on boss hit. If you're not instantly gibbing some bosses, it's a lot of DPS for 1 gem slot

- Your chest armour isn't doing a whole lot for you besides a little more resists. For 4.5 EX right now, I'm seeing a Skin of the Loyal with a +1 to socketed gems corruption (for +2 total), which is RRRRRG. Just swap out your Minion Damage for Damage on Full Life, and you've got +2 Stone Golem levels, for 30% More DPS according to PoB. For 8EX there's one with the same colors but also adds on 50% reduced extra critical strike damage taken in addition to the +2, so you get a 30% DPS boost and a huge one-shot survival boost.

https://poe.trade/search/uhiyerubetoeni

- It is not impossible to get a Darkness Enthroned that is better than that Stygian Vise combo. Remember it's 75% increased effect now... maybe check that out on PoB and see what jewels you can nab on the market that would sort your resists and boost the golems too.

Thanks for the suggestions! Poacher's Mark is a super easy swap in and can just replace Phase Run in my build most of the time. Darkness Enthroned seems like a solid way to go too, but decent jewels get expensive really fast there - probably still worth pursuing since the belt on its own is so cheap.

I really don't even care about the portal, I don't like it and probably won't ever use it. At 34 I get the challenge totem that will match 70% of my other totems, so that's what I really want. And fortunately that's just like 6 or 7 woke map bonuses left which is super easy.

But god, some of those challenges loving suck. 300 room reveals is, conservatively speaking, approximately 250k markers. Plus you have to actually have the reveals in the first place, and you're probably wasting about half of them because there's no way to get all the chests in time (nor are all the chests even worth revealing/opening)

The 75k quant challenge is also a motherfucker if you're not running in a dedicated group with highly juiced maps. I'm about halfway there and I have 3 characters past level 90.

Forget about doing The Twins conditional. It's most likely bugged in the first place, but at current prices assuming you executed everything flawlessly you're looking at 30-40ex because you have to buy the map *at least* twice.

Didn't see this posted yet, it's still gonna be as expensive but at least you were right Vas - this is deployed a while ago (hotfix)

3.12.3c Patch Notes:

Heist Improvements

Blueprint Heist Targets which are Item Rewards now generate 1 to 3 item levels higher than the area level.
Fixed a bug where some Heist monsters could use their skills through closed Heist doors.
Fixed a bug preventing Tibbs and Niles from opening locked Heist Chests when you used the League Interface hotkey.
Fixed a bug where the "Reveal Entire Wing" button in the Blueprint Reveal UI didn't give the right amount of progress towards the "Reveal Rooms" step of the "Complete Heist Encounters IV" challenge.
Fixed an issue that prevented the "Defeat The Twins Conditionally" challenge from being completed.
Fixed an issue where you were unable to open a Unique Quest Contract if you had obtained it while already in The Rogue Harbour unless you left the area and returned.
Fixed a bug where the "+X to Brute Force Level" modifier displayed "+X to Perception Level".

General Improvements

Fixed a bug introduced in 3.12.3 which prevented some players from opening Conqueror's Citadel maps.
Fixed a bug with some skills where holding down a hotkey to use a skill while you had insufficient mana to use that skill would only default attack once, rather than continuing to default attack until you had enough mana to use that skill.
Fixed a bug where Life Flask and Mana Flask Charges gained by hitting an enemy cursed with Sniper's Mark were not correctly limited to one charge every 0.5 seconds.
Fixed a bug where Wither supported by Spell Totem didn't follow its target if that target moved from its initial location.
Fixed a bug where a smoke cloud's appearance would flash yellow momentarily.

Crash Fixes

Fixed an instance crash that could occur after you left an area.
Fixed an instance crash that could occur when fighting a Metamorph.
Fixed an instance crash that could occur when using Mercenary's Lot unique gloves.
Fixed a "Texture index out-of-bounds" client crash.

As this patch has been deployed restartlessly on the servers you will need to restart your client to receive the client fixes. For those requiring the Conqueror's Citadel fix to take effect (and on while this patch was deployed) you'll have to create a new Hideout through Helena, or let your Hideout instance timeout.

The extra 1-3 item levels on reward room items is also kind of interesting! I still really like this league so I'm gonna stick around for another char or two. Currently working on an autobomber which heist kindly provided a sick rear end staff for!

Some of you may have noticed that Vasudus now has a gray star. He's your new thread IK. As such, the former automatic probes for importing drama are being lifted. Importing drama is still against forum rules, but it'll go back to the default, which is judging on a case by case basis. With luck, this is the last time you'll see me post in this thread.

Was I... Am I...? I am the High Templar... Vasudus? It's starting to make sense now. I sought power to wield against the evil...

... And I found it. Yes, this is a start. This is more than I possibly could have hoped for when I drew the blade and awoke -- yes, of course! Now I can protect Wraeclast properly.

Demons, child. Countless. They watch us from the darkness. They claw at the thin veil that keeps our world separated from theirs. A great tide of evil that wishes only to crash down upon us and sweep our civilisation into oblivion. But I will stand against it.

I've been playing a phys vaal skele build since the beginning and the damage has been improved by a lot with the syndicate ops.

I have been doing everything with a queens escape since it's an auto +1 to specs and lets me fully six link skeletons and spectres.

the amount of impales being dropped and some supports now giving chance to bleeds means there is a point a bosses health just dumps out. the skeletons don't live long, but much more disposable for what they are technically free impales for the ops.

now I tried to do the new hotness of converting everything to cold and man, it feels bad.

sure, I might not get far with half assed levelled gems but I would have thought lvl 20 spectre synd ops would at least get me though a yellow.

I followed Kay's guide then balor mage's guide especially for cold (ballors guide removes minion damage passives??) but nothing it really working.

went back to the queens escape and also abusing the fact I can call of steel off of juicy corpse impales to blow up heist clogs quite quickly.

Are you triggering elemental equilibrium? You need to be bringing down enemies cold resistance for cold conversion to be worthwhile.

Man Zana gave me the option to pick cortex out of the maps in her daily and I tried and I didn't die until what I think was the final phase and ended up dying all the time due to the constantly increasing stuff on the ground.

Archmage Fireball Ignite was not doing enough damage fast enough I guess. Sad because I was doing that fight so well until that nonsense.

Def gonna increase my dps more before trying the Shaper and Elder fights

Thanks for posting this, though - it reminded me "hey, I think I have an Apex of Ascension waiting right now", and sure enough I did. So I bought those things and made the other thing rather than doing what I usually do, which is tossing in a random lovely unique and getting Bramblejack.

Also, in the next room over an Atziri's Foible dropped, which is not only a few more chaos (although it would have been a LOT more earlier in the league), but actually something I've wanted to use for my guy but had put off so far because it was stupidly expensive this league so far compared to usual. Although I used a pretty good amulet instead, so now I have to decide if trading about 200 life is worth gaining a shitload of mana and regen (it is; just have to say goodbye to my precious DOOM TORC Turqoise Amulet). Maybe today is my day for Ex drops based on this early luck.

I did this earlier in the season with Omeyocan and made about 130c in profit. Super easy and would recommend for anyone who lucks into getting a T3 sac room. I think that temple run had a wealth of the Vaal in it too, but sadly they�d fixed the mirror shard drop at that point.
