Setec_Astronomy posted:<cluster jewel stuff> One thing to add for clarity for OP: Level 50-74 cluster jewels have value if someone only cares about Notables. Notables have ilvl requirements of either 1, 50, 68 or 75, and the small passive mod tiers have ilvls of 1/68/84. Let's say I want a Large Lightning Damage jewel with Sadist, Snowstorm and Doryani's Lesson. The highest ilvl of those 3 is 68. An ilvl 84 jewel would have a total mod weight of 11636 for prefixes, 15377 for suffixes. At ilvl 68 that goes down to 9446 (-18.8%) / 11827 (-23.1%). Pretty big difference.

Kind of a weird question but at ~4k hp should I trade 100 hp for +43% damage while leeching because that seems like a pretty enormous damage bump (since I am always leeching). Slightly less hp would make it easier to swap out of my helm to a rare with suppression on it which would be nice and also +43% damage is pretty huge. I'd be getting rid of the benchcrafted +life for the betrayal leech thing but I'm not sure how much i'll "feel" -100 hp.

NPR Journalizard posted:Whats the cost of the switch, and can you switch back? Not much. Likely several exalts to hit 43% on the bench (it's a veiled mod). Very little to switch back to life. Yes, I can switch back. It's a benchcraft. Ok it's more like 150 life but I hit 42% damage buff so I'll see how that feels I guess. E: Bonus damage feels REALLY good. I'm noticeably squishier by a little but everything just dies instantly so it's worth the tradeoff I guess. If I'm going to be a glass cannon, I might as well lean into it.

Yeah damage while leeching is solid for SS. You don't get the effect while you're on full health but between blood rage/lifetap you're basically never on full health. It's totally legit to sacrifice a little life for keeping Precise Technique turned on too

I tried it vs a couple bosses and Sirus died almost instantly so I think I'm gonna roll with this for now. I may eventually buy a bunch of exalts and spam reroll for that last 1% but I'm happy for now. This feels more like my SRS character where poo poo just dies instantly before it even gets to me. I think what I want is a double corrupted lioneye plate with health and +2 projectile damage on it (this won't ever happen) and a rare helm with suppression and reservation on it. I could swap back to fury valve and DPS would go even higher. I feel like this is where this build turned a corner from "good damage but not enough and too squishy" to "crazy damage, too squishy". I'm sad I never got to do the tornado shot deadeye thing that got nerfed into oblivion. That was totally going to be my build this league before I got the news.

Not to rain on your parade, but by switching in 43% increased damage while leeching you gained a whooping 3.8% more damage. Have you finally linked Molten Shell with CWDT? If not, there is your survivability issue

Oh well, I'll switch the gloves back to +life then. I can't link molten shell to CWDT because I don't have the mana unfortunately. I would need a mana reservation helm (ideally one with eldritch + implicit reservation) and that'd probably do the trick but alas...

I've had three seers this league and was only able to find one of them in the map. I swear there's some bug with them, but I have no idea how to duplicate. I've also had rituals bug out and not be able to be started at all. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the scarab that has a 15% chance to turn a pack into an atlas boss. Maybe the converted pack doesn't count towards seer completion? Or the ritual doesn't know how to handle a converted pack?

spawning the seers is weird, you don't just have to kill the pack, you also have to get close enough for the seer to appear. I think its like the chests in the Mao-kun map

Reddit was reporting some weirdness with putting Seer spawns on a low density pack and then him not showing up because that pack type just didn't get generated or something. I got seer 3 or 4 times in red maps and got mostly garbage - I think my best hit was a decently rolled Fourth Vow that sold for like 50c or something. It is a fun a gamba mechanic that shows up every once in a while, though. Looks like divine prices are recovering for some reason? Went to bed at ~100 last night and this morning they are already up over 130. Kicking myself for not converting my ~6500c over the last couple of days but I also kind of don't super care because I think I'm about done with the league. Just trying to decide if I give a poo poo about cleaning up another ~15 challenges and I think the answer is no because the rewards are pretty trash.

I'm fed up with my league starter build, but it's lovely and any currency I've made I've mostly spent on trying to make it less lovely. Are there any decent other builds that will allow me to at least get the Voidstones done, clear T16 maps without strong rares and map bosses taking ages to kill, and is relatively inexpensive to get going? This was the build I league started with, and it still sucks even after like 50 divs worth of gear https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/wave-of-conviction-elementalist-league-starter

Check those out and see if they interest you, you could switch with a bit of a respec and some gear swapping around. Hell you can probably recycle some of the gear you already have. DD play style can be a bit of an acquired taste. I found EA better for bossing personally because it gives more time for dodging crap while keeping damage up. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Apr 30, 2024 |

Decided to face to total degeneracy and upgrade my build to use The Adorned. Behold the most expensive thing I have ever crafted: Bardeh posted:I'm fed up with my league starter build, but it's lovely and any currency I've made I've mostly spent on trying to make it less lovely.

CoC DD is the "do everything on zero budget" build that will probably have piles of cheap-rear end hand-me-down gear available by now. A friend started the same build as you and also had a lovely time. IDK why the build feels as bad as it does; ignite elementalist used to be really comfy.

I'm pretty sure you either buy a jewel pre-synthed, or just slam harvest synth on jewels until it hits 3 implicits, then inevitably face towards vivid vulture spam to hit actually useful implicits, then it's just boring old alt/aug spam. Also usually you'd fossil craft a 4th implicit "sells for more to vendors" so you can use the hinekora's lock on magic beastcraft to replace it with a vaal implicit.

poemdexter posted:How are those jewels crafted? Three implicits is kinda nutty. 1. Acquire a synth jewel, these can have 1 to 3 implicits. You can either buy a base, or synth one yourself with harvest. Usually synthing it via harvest only gives 1 implicit mod, but rarely you can get 2 or 3 mods. 2. If one of the implicits is one you want to keep, then use a craicic chimeral to imprint. 3. Use vivid vultures to reroll the synth implicits. If the vulture rerolls an implicit you wanted to keep, restore the imprint and re-imprint. This is often called "vulture prison" or "bird prison" for people really trying to minmax the implicits. Repeat until happy with the implicits. You can flush infinite currency down the toilet doing this. 4. Once happy with the implicits use gilded fossil to add "sells for more to vendors" implicit. This is so a corruption implicit can overwrite the fossil implicit instead of overwriting one of the synth implicits. I'm actually not sure if you're supposed to do this before the vulture part or if it even matters. 5. Alt/aug/divine the explicit mods. 6. Use the black morrigan craft to hinekora's lock the jewel. 7. Check the outcome of a vaal orb. If bad, use a blessed orb to remove the lock. Re-blessed the implicits back to perfect, then use another black morrigan to lock the jewel and repeat until you hit a good vaal orb. Note that the implicits must have a numerical range on them to be able to use a blessed orb to clear the lock. If they don't, you have to use a divine orb to clear the lock and then re-divine the explicits too. The adorned increased effect works on jewel implicits, so these kinda jewels are crazy good.

In the case of this particular jewel, I did the following: 1) Buy a jewel with the Global Crit Multi / Avoid Stun synth implicits for 30d. 2) Gilded fossil for "Sell for Much More To Vendors" implicit. Scour and transmute to make magic. 3) Alt/aug/annul spam until I hit Mana and one of the 2 Crit Multi suffixes I wanted. This was about 7d of Alt/Aug/Annuls in total (I was unlucky here; should be more like 4-5d on average). 4) Divine to "decent" rolls (10% mana, 14% crit multi). 5) Repeatedly: - Hinekora's Lock using Craicic Chimeral + Black Morrigan. I farmed my own Morrigans and yellow beasts from the scarab (cheap). Bought Craicic Chimerals for 1.3-1.5 apiece. - Check with a Vaal Orb whether it would replace "Sells for Much More To Vendors" with some other valuable implicit. - If no, check with a Divine Orb whether it would perfectly divine (did so after a few tries) - If neither of the above, use a Blessed Orb to remove the lock, then Bless until perfect implicits again. I did step 5 ~20 times to the tune of ~30d. Would have been happy to hit any of ele pen/lightning pen/aoe/damage/ailment effect/crit chance/corrupted blood immunity or maaayybe curse effect, which made the overall chance of success about 1-in-30 (9.5% chance to hit one of those implicits times 1-out-of-3 to overwrite the right implicit) so I did quite a bit better than expectation.
