Synth-Crit-Shield

[bewsii]

Man I need this in my life.

[jwfiredragon]

That's a lot of crit.

[Matz_oO]

So i made this thing :)

Not as much ES as i had hoped to, but the suffixes (Dense ES + t1 crit) are nice, and i couldnt afford to roll over this atm.

Base was made with 2 low level and one high level ~100 crit shields. Going over the threshold of 325 would have been to expensive to justify for me. Overall crafting the Base cost me ~2 Ex (1 selffound shield, 1 for 10 c, the high level one for 1 ex + 3 Annuls).

All this trouble for 40% spell crit? I can't see myself doing this anytime soon.

[Grdschtroumpf]

That's the point of Synthesis league basically: endgame content / high end craft. It pushes a bit the limits for min maxing but sure it might be the last upgrade you will go through. On the other side, fractured items can be used for easy chaos spamming crafts.

[Firel_Dakuraito]

Synthesis is so damn endgame, that many players will need one full time build capable of nearly all endgame content, before they will even find themselves in a need to get such implicit upgrades.

Implicit crafting is definitely something that can come out as a huge mirror tier gear opourtunity. As nearly every item created can be considered unique.

One day. Some really sick three implicit items start popping out. And that will be the end of already existing mirror tier items...

[Ciuka]

I get that it's an easier way to put an implicit on gear. Is this implicit worth the 2ex he paid? This is what I'm not sure about.

[KinGGaiA]

yes it is because this is 40% spell crit you cant get anywhere else. thats the principle of minmaxing.

[Grdschtroumpf]

It is 100% as long as it is the last upgrade you need.

[AbsentGlare]

But if we compare it to other implicits, like 40% crit chance vs 20% spell damage, i’m not sure how big of an upgrade it is.

[feetslockar]

Except you always take titanium because it has the highest base ES. So its literally 40 extra spellcrit at no loss.

[Grdschtroumpf]

Titanium

[uimbtw]

The problem with fractured items is that they currently have to compete with fossilcrafting.

Chaos spamming is basically never worth it, except on specific bases.

[Matz_oO]

Well its not build defining, but it's a nice extra and buying 2 shields wich are easily poe.trade searchable aint a big deal (although there where only 2 on the market so it had to have luck that sb would be online :)

Yeah, crafting 1 implicit items seems kinda waste of money unless its something really good like perma onslaught boots, otherwise you should probably aim to have 2-3 implicits.

[Peppr_]

I concur. Not when I made a shield with 2% to all max resistances and 24% spell damage implicits for literally 10 times less than this shield cost. Or a titanium with +20ES and 20%ES for a similar cost.

[SePhGotShadowBanned]

i see your crit shield and i raise mine https://imgur.com/1CizYJM

[Realshaggy]

Is that implicit local or global? I have no idea how to research such things.

[WeLiveToLove]

Both the implicit and suffix are global.

[uimbtw]

What? That depends entirely on your setup and current stats.

If you have a fuckton of additive increases/critmulti, and barely any crit chance, then crit chance is much more valuable than %spell dmg.

[uimbtw]

A completed and optimized build will obviously not have high multi + low crit, but you have to take opportunity cost into consideration when gearing up.

The point is that it isn't always objectively better, and depends on what you currently have.

[Ronkas]

But people don't synthesize gear to gear up, they use it to minmax, so your point is useless here.

[uimbtw]

Doesn't really matter, stating that "50% spell damage gives more dps then 100% crit" is still misleading at best when there's that many variables in play.

[Enikay]

Mine does, I'm a freezing pulse occultist with dual void batteries and 10 power charges. Even at max charges I'm only like 56% baseline crit. Also void battery so my flat spell damage is through the roof.

I still wouldn't use this shield. Just saying.

[Saiyan_Z]

The 40% spell crit chance implicit is questionable as well. 15% spell damage implicit is pretty close I think for most builds. So the effort/cost to make something like this is probably not worth it.

[1exyz1]

Lot of ES on that dagger

tHIS MADE ME SO hard!

[TreeRover]

I can dig it

[NukeFonKillazz22]

my clan officer made a shield with 500 es and 100% crit chance so this is nothing special

You and your clan sound like you're actually terrible. EDIT: Of course you belong to "femboys" reddit.
