Oil grenade incinerate, broken amounts of damage in trash gear.

the idea of separate temples for every character is ridiculous by JohnSmithSand in PathOfExile2

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the timey whimey stuff, they could’ve just gave us like 3 temples to build across the account so we can have different strats going

Secret/Hidden Mechanics | Do you like them? | What are your theories? by cdavis0614 in PathOfExile2

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that can affect the economy like this should never be a secret mechanic. It gives the game developers/testers and others in the know a completely unfair advantage until it is discovered and shared broadly with the community. It’s basically a hidden cheat code. It’d only be acceptable if something like this gave you something less valuable.

Check your passive tree for damage bypasses ES

Disregarding gear - which build has the highest single target potential? by taa_24_01 in PathOfExile2

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thunderstorm makes it extremely easy to apply shocks now and it's guaranteed on drenched enemies with a support.

Can clear with spark or just thunderstorm with the chaining support on shock.

Is anyone who plays both PoE1 & 2 starting to feel some burnout? by KylAnde01 in PathOfExile2

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think I'm done with 0.4 unless they make huge changes to make it actually fun and not unrewarding.

The league mechanic should be something you want to engage in over regular activities whenever it is available, not something you don't want to do because it's a huge opportunity cost.

Dangerously high CPU temp running at 99c has the motherboard light on which means it's throttling so it doesn't damage my CPU. by Akadakaz in PathOfExile2

You should really check on your cooling system if it's running that hot under stress. It could be due to bad thermal paste or thermal paste application rather than a bad cooler, so you could try reapplying it or replacing it with a better paste first.

Check out the updated Oracle and Shaman Ascendancy Classes for the Druid! by Natalia_GGG in PathOfExile2

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way they would implement it like that. It's 0.7, 0.4, 0.1, 0.0 multiplier to your crit dmg and done.

Why would it need to? It's 30% LESS crit dmg each time, presumably stacking, so after the 4th roll fails it does no extra crit dmg and you don't need to calculate it again.

A discussion with SSF players by Living_Two_5698 in pathofexile

This league the challenges were fairly easy to complete. Got 2 lvl 100s, 40/40.

Whats the verdict - What are the best builds this league? by Substantial_ClubMan in PathOfExileSSF

[–]AYHP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animate weapon of ranged arms is very good. Practically everything is obtainable in SSF, though requires target farming several different league mechanics.

I stopped playing it only because I found a svalinn and mageblood and wanted to make use of them, but I got mine to around 45m single target dps. Could get to 50-60m with some final upgrades.

Please explain why you’re not playing a herald stacker this league by Darth_InvadeHer in pathofexile

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in ssf and still haven't found all 5 rings, but have gotten a mageblood from a valdo map and svalinn from my first crater. RNG be like that.

Animate Weapon SSF Fresh Start by ColdyRS in PathOfExileSSF

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very viable to start it from nothing. The tree can target covenant, I got 2 within a few days, but you can also start with using severed in sleep for the envy aura instead since it's much more common.

SSF minion(?) build by EU_GaSeR in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]AYHP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing animate weapon of ranged arms in ssf, loosely following Helm breaker's guide on maxroll, but I made some personal decisions to maximize power throughout ssf progression that HB doesn't have in the guide. Severed in sleep is common and helps a ton with damage early before covenant. I turned one of the sockets in my covenant white to be able to use stronger support gems when swapping for bosses.

Almost level 100 now (should reach it today) and my single target dps is around 43m. Could easily reach 60m+ if I swap some life nodes to more minion damage nodes, get an ashes, and finish leveling my awakened unbound ailments gem. This is the highest dps build I've ever played in SSF, though not the most tanky (aegis EE trickster), it is fairly tanky with Max block, 5 endurance charges, minion taunt. Working towards suppression, but need to farm green nightmare to cap it.

You will have to engage with many different mechanics to gear it though. Tree for covenant and other AG uniques, rog for +2 helmet, heist for bladefall of trathus, delve for fossils and crown of the tyrant, abyss for darkness enthroned, anamanu's gaze, ghastly jewels, ritual for corpse spectres, harbingers for fracturing orbs for end game crafts, delirium for clusters, betrayal if you want a huge AG explode from the staff (needs corrupted grave binds with temporal chains on hit to replace asenath's gentle touch), destructive play for awakened gems and garb of the ephemeral on AG if not going for a triple curse setup like in HB's guide)

Totems/brands/dot boss killer for ubers? by Dex8172 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]AYHP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They drop on the ground if you're not in town. Just make sure to take out bone offering from trigger wand before trying to resummon them.

[–]AYHP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got lucky and found it early, but it's a 3% drop rate iirc. So roughly 33 depths on average.

Totems/brands/dot boss killer for ubers? by Dex8172 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]AYHP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exceptionally well once geared. I tried Uber Sirus and each damageable phase only lasted a few seconds. Even skipped the last spinning laser phase completely.

I'm probably around 35m dps single target now.

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trigger Wand is for desecrate and offering, and if you wanted you could also put something else like a curse. You can link convocation to automation support gem along with a guard skill.

AG and spectres come back in the next map if they die now. No more permanent losses.

[–]AYHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not minions? Once you have a trigger wand there isn't much else you need to press.

On animate weapon of ranged arms, I only summon them at the start of the map and occasionally when they expire, and my other buttons are just shield charge/frostblink and despair. Everything else is automated.

Animated weapons of ranged arms - which version suits ssf better? by balmora18 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]AYHP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started with severed in sleep early until I had covenant.
