Sorry, not seeing much here, build looks pretty good.

  • Why a Witchfire Brew and Despair in Asenath's Chant?
  • Totems generally do not count as you. I have no confirmation of this, but I suspect that the Wither applied by your ballista totems do not get the everlasting benefit from Blackfire.
    • Withering Step is pretty good in most chaos dot builds since other methods of Wither application can be killed.
  • Path right by Corruption and Growth and Decay but don't take them?
Good luck on your Uber Lab. Haven't found 2 of my trials yet either.

Not the difficulty of assembling the build. But that you would have no economy in which to sell most of those drops.

The 50 people that played aura stackers in SSF would do them for simulacrum shards. I doubt many others would even bother.

- will be getting a despair on hit ring eventually so that's a tide me over

- witch fire smoke cloud and dot dmg is good for now, rather have a dying sun, but of course


- "Withered does not expire on Enemies Ignited by you" doesn't day withers applied by you like the ignite does. So I'm good here.

- growth and decay is good but I think picking up jewel slots is better, esp for HC

Looking to figure out something like "craft up a sadist garb using these harvest recipes" to get high hp, max percent hp (Hunter influence iirc) stuff like that.

Mostly what influence mods would be best and best way to craft em. I don't love the build for delving and harvest seems to be a straighter path to victory in gearing.

Is it bad that I find PoB and farting around on youtube more enjoyable than booting up my computer and subjecting it to the torture that is PoE?

Still toying around with Static Strike, Hydrosphere, and Intimidating Cry in PoB. Berserker was one of the classes I was considering for Static Strike. Perhaps a bit unintuitive since Berserker gets a ton of attack speed and that doesn't affect beam frequency. The attack speed of the skill is still quite relevant to how it feels, just watch Mathil's recent playthroughs. So I got to figuring out the true benefit of War Bringer. Unless you warcry close to every 2s, you can't get 100 uptime on 50% more Exerted Attack damage even though Static Strike will be exerted 100% of the time.

I wound up writing a simulator that took into account way too many variables, so I'm sure there's errors in it. My question to the math nerds: there's gotta be mathematical equations for this, right? Take War Bringer, for example. You know how often you warcry. Can I get average uptime and rage total from that? It's been far too long since college stats class, so I'm not even sure where to start googling.

I know I used to know the answer to this but with Delve being ancient history now... someone remind me why everybody who crafts big ticket chest armors always takes the time to use a gilded fossil? I can't remember what the point of 'sells for much more to vendors' is, seeing as you can't see what value it rolled just by tossing it in a vendor window.

Pretty much a goof. Also it's a pseudo-marker for where the original crafted chest began and how many get split out into the wilderness.

I thought there was a bug for a while where you put that mod on and like 1 out of 5-10 would yeild an ex when you sell. It was was worth putting it on there. They for sure patched it

The only reason to use a gilded fossil in crafting is for corrupting the "vendors" implicit once the craft is done. Other than that they are gambling items.

Is bleed bow as popular/expensive on PC as it is on console in Ritual for you guys too? I don’t have the time to reroll yet another character this league, atleast that’s what I’ve been telling myself. But at this rate I might just be better off. I know standard and past leagues aren’t always an accurate depiction of pricing for sure, but I did not expect this many people to blow it up into the meta the way it is. I like bow builds a lot and I’m not a veteran capable of flying into a super complex build easily so it was a great fit, but totally hitting a wall with gearing. Assailum is kinda rare and difficult as fuck to ‘farm’ myself and Ryslatha’s Coil is literally just a world random drop I think aside from the usual shenanigans of ancient orb/chancing and random div card turn ins. I’ve done an Arrogance of the Vaal and the regular belt divs with no luck, one ancient orb and a ton of chances and haven’t gotten it. I know that’s peanuts but it gets pretty expensive for a noob with no real other currency than just hitting maps etc a couple hours here and there. Coils are currently floating between 8-12ex on console and I’ve literally never seen or heard of an Assailum going for less than 20ex. It’s pretty fucking insane. Even the good rares are ridiculously marked up because people know they will sell eventually. (Shaper +DoT dmg gloves etc). I offered like 3-4ex for a pair of gripped gloves with DoT mod and basically nothing else, just a couple trash suffix and was rejected immediately. Shit is rough.
I’m doing ok otherwise and understand the bare minimums of crafting to have an idea of what to look for and what to do, but ‘crafting’ is still mostly just a casino in this game. Harvest does make it easier but the only real thing worth that much time and currency right off the bat is the bow, which I’m working on. If I don’t hit the crafts right away, they are pretty expensive from other people. Trying to see what else I can do to keep progressing maps because I’m currently anywhere between T7-11 depending on the mods and whatever else is going on with my gear. It’s a fun build though for me and I absolutely nuke bosses even without the Assailum so it’s a nice change of pace personally.
Are there other ‘meta’ build metrics besides maybe just checking the ladders and seeing what’s popular?

It was my first choice of build when I started the league, but I noped right the fuck out when I saw the price of Assailum. They're selling for peanuts now though, the price has dropped 85% in the last week.

Coil price is largely unchanged the whole league, a few exalts.

Console PoE is well known for having retarded trading mechanics and extremely shitty prices.

I just don’t think the player base is there for the price fluctuations you guys have on PC, I guess. Oh well, it’s all good. Probably make something else for fun then, fuck it.

I was surprised at some of the answers you guys had for favorite builds and was able to open my train of thought in approaching things so there’s a bunch of cool stuff I’d like to try. Think I just have to be prepared to essentially treat it like SSF unless I get lucky as far as gearing goes.

I know noobs are annoying and shit (me), but I’m so far away from the level most of you guys are playing at, it’s hard to explain. Lol. I feel like I do more googling and research learning about this game then playing it so far but it’s an enjoyable aspect

I'm at an impasse with my build in deciding how to upgrade it next in terms of cost/power. POB doesn't calculate BF/BB very well, and even less so the PP version.



Any of you veteran's able to take a look? I was thinking gems, but there's so many ones to upgrade.

What are the farming strats this league? Zana in Haewark Hamlet for harvest. Harbingers in Valdo's Rest. legions in Glennarch Cairns. Harvest takes too much dicking around with TFT discord.
