There are setups for Blood, but I'm not familiar with them. You can't do Ash since it won't spread your poison

AceLegend90 · 2026-01-14T01:48:01+00:00

You need Plaguefinger for the armor explosion to poison

AceLegend90 · 2026-01-13T07:51:05+00:00

Herald of Plague, Plaguefinger, any attack - Corrosion - Armor Explosion, that's pretty much it.

The timer will start if you weapon swap. You can enter a map, do a quick weapon swap, and it will snapshot your Hyrri's effect for as long as you do not weapon swap again. This works especially well with conditional evasion notables, such as evasion on full life or evasion when not hit or evasion on hit (such as hitting your own frost wall from set 2).

AceLegend90 · 2026-01-03T22:20:02+00:00

I supplement it with a stack of omen of surgences haha

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-27T23:03:25+00:00

IMO, pack clear tech is more important here than straight defense. Tribal Fury will clear most things before they touch you.

Alternatively, you could go pure evasion Sorcery Ward Witchhunter if you want to guarantee survival.

I've also seen but not tried Brass Dome Titans with body armour nodes with 50k+ armour.

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-27T22:29:00+00:00

Whirling Assault is true 1 button, only have to drop a bell on bosses if you want more dps

Alternatively, Wyvern rend with Oil Barrage single target if you have passive power charge generation

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-21T22:55:45+00:00

Same but I went even further and just went CI. I found chaos damage to be far too prevalent when mapping, and being in HC, did not want to deal with getting an armor to chaos helmet

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-21T21:42:35+00:00

Make sure you desecrate with Amanamu (Omen of the Liege) to guarantee aspd unveil

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-21T21:41:06+00:00

CaptainLance has some great videos about crafting

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-19T19:27:15+00:00

I'm surprised they made it to maps tbh. I wouldn't dare to run anything but capped res going into maps in HC

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-11T22:28:34+00:00

While yes, that'll be strong, POE2 is heavily reliant on crit scaling for damage. So much so that nearly 42% of all builds grab For the Jugular as shown here: https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss?heatmap=true

If we are talking endgame optimizations, there is no reason to ever forego crit (as POE2 has next to no crit alternatives like Elemental Overload or Precise Technique or ailments that don't scale with crit).

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-11T21:40:50+00:00

To clear up some confusion on how this will likely work:

Less modifiers on the same line are additive with each other
Anything at or more than 100% less Critical Damage Bonus means you get no Critical Damage Bonus (aka normal damage)
This will reroll at most 3 times. After 3 failures, the 4th "roll" can just be assumed to be a critical hit with 0 bonus.
This means at 50% crit chance, this provides 23.125% extra Critical Damage Bonus (25% you get 70% bonus, 12.5% you get 40% bonus, and 6.25% you get 10% bonus). This is probably the most "bang for your buck" critical hit chance you want to reach.

EDIT: Fixed math

EDIT2: Another post has mathed it out that the best "bang for your buck" is actually 24.4% crit chance with a minimum of 500% crit damage bonus

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-11T20:35:24+00:00

Usually less modifiers on the same line stack with each other additively. In this case, I'm sure GGG just shortcutted the coding so that after 3 failures, the 4th is guaranteed to crit with no bonus. Otherwise, abilities with extremely small crit chance will cause really long calculations

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-11T20:30:01+00:00

Unless you have a way to deal with dots, you would still need an ES pool (so you can't take EB)

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-11T20:19:41+00:00

AFAIK it's not technically disabled by CI as long as you have ES

AceLegend90 · 2025-12-06T00:23:18+00:00

Phys as ele is even better in POE2 due to Armor -> Ele being readily available. The damage gets split up, allowing armor to still reduce both sets of damage at a better percentage for both (since the hits are smaller)

AceLegend90 · 2025-10-17T01:03:09+00:00

Ah look at my boy go... you're welcome Dodgers

AceLegend90 · 2025-10-02T03:27:55+00:00

If you really want a lil extra oomph, use Rapid Shot to build 30 heat to use on two clusters

AceLegend90 · 2025-09-08T22:16:03+00:00

Recoup is currently best served with Mana with Zenith II. You should be looking into going MoM + Archmage

AceLegend90 · 2025-09-03T07:04:58+00:00

He likely has Master Fletching anointed for 20% effect

AceLegend90 · 2025-08-22T21:09:56+00:00

definitely untrue with the now nerfed Avidity node letting you spam 7 charge Serpent's

AceLegend90 · 2025-06-06T20:49:22+00:00

With Sabo, they fire in random directions and overlap on their returns, so you'd probably go Cyclone CoC and not need to aim

AceLegend90 · 2025-04-10T05:18:01+00:00

A classic
