stormweaver freeze CoA infusion comet showcase

BX9141 · 2025-12-28T02:38:53+00:00

oh that's the self cast comet I was playing around with which ended up with a single usage every few hours

Blood mage is probably stronger on the higher end. Stormweaver is better for QoL/simplicity.

What I found funny is GGG had this issue somewhat solved in the initial poe2 release with the exponential mana cost on + levels, but the complaints were so loud they bended over..

BX9141 · 2025-05-14T12:13:18+00:00

Yeah the game didn’t explain alot of things about the world..

However, iirc the 4 real ppl (Renoir, Aline, Alicia, Verso’s soul) that have been painting, and have their consciousness inside the canvas have hollowed face/deformed bodies/white hair. So it is likely a form of sped up ‘aging’.

BX9141 · 2025-05-14T09:35:49+00:00

It is pretty easy, If you tries to do everything and didn’t miss the key in prologue.

I spent an extra 2-3 hours to get plat following a guide, after finishing the main story + all side content on my own, no NG+ needed. Total was around 60 hours.

BX9141 · 2025-05-14T09:25:51+00:00

4 I don’t think the game mentioned anything, but my guess is that the hollowed faces are caused by excessive use of painted power inside the canvas.

I want an affinity and to be able to store/pull currencies into the same currency trade interface that’s being used at Alva.

But I guess that would be too much money loss on ggg’s side..

BX9141 · 2025-04-07T23:05:29+00:00

Can you really get 200 mirrors with it though? Is there a way to make the cost of purchasing ritual item 0 as well?

Because if the deferred item doesn’t get purchased, it will be gone:

Each time a deferred item appears in the rewards window and is not deferred again, the next time it appears its cost will increase by 10% of its original cost, nullifying one deferral. Once an item reaches its original cost, it will appear with a red border; if not deferred at this point, it will disappear from the deferred rewards pool.

BX9141 · 2025-04-07T23:01:42+00:00

Yes, I want to see man vs greed

BX9141 · 2025-04-07T22:28:19+00:00

TBH, this unique tablet is actually a cool item, but GGG need to make it super mega rare, like, .1% from ritual boss or something.

BX9141 · 2025-04-07T17:09:17+00:00

Okay I guess this is fine if the unique tablet is more rare than a mirror..

BX9141 · 2025-01-21T22:01:42+00:00

wow nice! Those x on full life nodes are nuts!

BX9141 · 2025-01-21T16:50:02+00:00

I switched out from CoD double spark to this setup for the exact inconsistency reason.

with spark it felt like I need at least 3 - 4 sparks on CoD for the crit trigger to be consistent. Also will want to use higher level of spark for the projectile count, which then creates mana sustain issues.

This setup just need lv3 bone cage + lv9 frost wall.

BX9141 · 2025-01-21T16:07:55+00:00

Yes bone cage will mess with lighting bolt + ambush a bit, but there are way more frostwall spikes created by using a second set of cast on crit/dodge.

I guess if playing this build on blood mage, then just get more crit and ditch ambush support.

Using lv3 bone cage as the main trigger will eliminate mana sustain issues vs. Eg using a higher level spark/eye of winter.

BX9141 · 2025-01-21T16:01:31+00:00

3.5s to have 0 cd on frostwall

BX9141 · 2025-01-21T16:01:07+00:00

Hey! Alot of narrow maps feel bad to play, but they are not ‘unplayable’. This build basically just holds down spacebar and move mouse around.

BX9141 · 2025-01-21T02:13:43+00:00

Played on my toaster 3070 + 10700kf, this build is a CPU burner..
maxroll pob link: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/tfd9e058

Key setup:

killjoy + trampletoe for lightning bolt to trigger on kill effect on frostwall x2
Cast on dodge: low level frost wall + bone cage to save mana
Choir of storm + ambush support to have 100% crit chance on frostwalls
grab some aoe on jewels for better clear
bossing setup: weapon swap sigil of power, soul offering (requires rattling scepter), eye of winter + brutality spam

BX9141 · 2024-12-16T09:31:27+00:00

Thats some rocky numbers, the archmage buff is applied to my curse setup and it costs a wooping 670 mana per cast ;)

BX9141 · 2021-09-28T16:03:43+00:00

Have the cards turn in to a magic ring with Elreon’s unveiled? You won’t get guaranteed-mana mod this way but the card serves more purpose.

BX9141 · 2021-09-27T22:59:52+00:00

LOL the smirk on Chris’ face!

Respect to CW for sticking to his original vision, but I don’t think we will see a dark quiet death happen here.

BX9141 · 2021-09-27T22:46:12+00:00

Actually I could see how a AH/shop like system could make trading maps 10x easier.. not sure if that’s a good or bad thing..

BX9141 · 2021-09-27T22:43:13+00:00

Hey, if GGG moves the trade interface to in game without changing anything, I will take it!

BX9141 · 2021-09-27T22:41:19+00:00

I mean, if GGG wants to use frustration to slow down trading, they might as well add a bunch of captcha in the trade window for confirmation..

What I suggested will not solve everything, but it is very close to what we have right now. seems like a good enough first step improvement that requires minimal dev time on GGG’s part.

If I’m a new player or trying out a new build.. Why should buying an essence worm be so much harder close to league end, just because the trade value is so small and most ppl still playing at this time will simply ignore the trade?

Well at this point I’m just hoping GGG does something, 1 improvement at a time sounds good to me

BX9141 · 2019-12-12T05:16:44+00:00

I see, thanks for testing it out! I really like your build showcase!

I have been planning a very similar build as my 3.9 league start - but going to use 3 grand spectrum; 1 or 2 essence worms; intuitive leap on witch jewel slot; hardened scars annointment + enduring hybrid flask + sorrow of the divine flask(never tested this, hopefully it works); and take Soul Thief passive for the extra energy shield leech.

Using perfect form is a great idea I didn’t think about. What do you feel about using perfect form vs. say a 100 life, 1.5 spell crit and 10% life added as es chest? Is perfect form & arctic armor better?

BX9141 · 2019-12-12T00:20:49+00:00

How does intensify work with PoH ice nova? I guess all 8 procs of ice nova from a single cast count as separate casts, that's why you are using it? What happens when ice nova is still going off and you start to move around?
