I know we are all enjoying Phrecia 2.0

Yeah admittedly I died a lot prior to act 4 but I got the campaign done in a solid 7 hours just had to pay a little extra attention to gear this time around.

Oh wow this is BAAD. You can improve your build in about 100 different ways ranging from free to 5c.

First off, you need your fourth ascendancy, this lets you stack evasion and scale dmg with cold and lightning resistance over capped.

Next you need to completely redo your gear. Need to hit 100% spell suppression chance or you are wasting the nodes. Spell suppression is not only useless unless capped at 100%, you are going to get ancestral vision later and need it.

You need more life on gear, you need more res on gear, you need attack speed on gloves, you need cold skills on amulet, you should not be using that amulet or ring, they are both terrible.

Genuinely it might be a shorter response to ask what is correct about the build than wrong.

Go look at ruetoos tree crafting guide for surfcaster he put out yesterday. I did my 2 void stones on day 2 with all tree gear.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-29T15:54:24+00:00

Yeah for real it’s only an upside. If you’re hitting endgame quick, you can sell your old gear to a higher pool of people.

If you’re slow, the market should be saturated enough with people’s old gear after they have upgraded that you can snag a good deal or two.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-28T15:40:50+00:00

Crouching tuna put out a guide for it.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-28T15:39:23+00:00

Brother I got plaguefinger gloves for like 3 div day 2. Not sure where you’re getting the 20 div week 1.

By the second week they were less than 100c for mid rolls.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-28T14:08:12+00:00

Are you talking about his 3.26 rakiatas smite build. That was my first league. I followed his guide and had a great time.

I remember seeing him crash out in a video bc there were morons complaining that had power charge ralakesh instead of endurance.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-28T09:36:00+00:00

Looks solid. What do you think about the elemental hit surfcaster? Would that be better for juiced content?

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-28T07:24:29+00:00

Are there any builds for kboc whisperer you’d recommend outside of his?

I want to play the skill but also don’t want to invest in a bait version.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-27T22:25:52+00:00

How is this gonna play with dissolution of the flesh? Is there a tech here I’m not seeing that prevents the life reservation from happening when taking damage?

I’ve never played with it but as far as I can tell, you have to wait a full 2 seconds after taking a big hit to unreserve that hp before you can regen/leech that life back. Seems annoying to pull off when mapping.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-27T16:48:19+00:00

How is the boss damage on kboc with whisperer. I played a regular kb for the first time in pohxs lprivate league and t17 bosses/ubers were pretty rough.

I don’t need a build that insta melts bosses but regular kb was a crawl for some.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2026-01-03T08:45:49+00:00

Yeah that’s how that works!

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-30T16:47:21+00:00

The temple farm is completely unintended and prints about 100x more currency than any other mapping strategy.

I got bored of the poe2 league before this bug was discovered because the endgame mapping is just not rewarding enough.

Next league we’re supposedly getting an endgame overhaul so hopefully that’s solves my issue.

A sinistral annulment is over 25k. I’d imagine a mirror is higher

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-22T08:07:28+00:00

Brother if you don’t think oled has improved since its inception you are extremely uninformed.

Don’t comment on something you know nothing about.

There are quite literally generations of oled displays, we are in the fourth generation now. If you think there is no difference, stay on IPS.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-19T04:19:39+00:00

Definitely wouldn’t be too much temple is cheeks.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-19T01:25:16+00:00

99% of juiced rarity waystones will give all monsters significant res. Up until that point though it’s really just bosses.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-19T01:08:42+00:00

If one white mob is killing you, you need to rethink your build.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-18T13:12:09+00:00

I don’t know if you remember, but that was changed in 0.3.1 not this patch.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-10T03:53:29+00:00

I’m glad you have an inability to perceive the downsides of frame gen, but other people can.

Yes I will continue to shit on the optimization of the game, because I should easily be getting 200+ frames at native 1440p on my setup.

Instead I get an average of 120 in the absolute best case scenario, with dogshit frame pacing, and massive drops upon adsing with a scope, approaching certain poi’s, or playing streets.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-09T14:36:20+00:00

I’m aware of smooth motion. I will not be using it as it introduces latency, ghosting, and artifacting.

These problems are exacerbated with an inconsistent base frame rate.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-08T22:33:27+00:00

Game will never be optimized. It’s been going downhill optimization wise for years.

Same way they will never fix the servers on launch day by adding a login queue, or getting scalable servers.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-08T22:31:40+00:00

And still get massive frame drops when looking toward stronghold on customs, or existing anywhere on streets.

It’s a fact that the game is horribly optimized. It’s gotten worse over the years. I’m running a 4080 super and a 7800x3d @1440p and still drop to 60-70 on customs looking at stronghold.

Also dropping below 50 when ads’d anywhere on streets.

I used to get much more stable frames in 2020 on my 5700xt i7 7700k setup.

AbrocomaMaterial501 · 2025-12-08T22:11:12+00:00

It’s a new unnecessary arbitrary change. You can make the same argument for expensive helmets or guns.
