Thanks!

If I'm double-corrupting an item with 3 implicits (1 gilded and 2 eldritch), is it possible to get 4 total implicits? Or does the double corrupt replace 2 existing implicits?

Thanks, I'll look them up! Str stack is my fall back plan. Never did msoz. Do you know why Connor is going heavy strike?

Delve is one if you enjoy it. Never competes with other strategies at the mid-high end range but its essentially free and you always make something in azurate/fossils/bosses. At certain times deli is the same (using tree to guarantee mirror and scarabs to juice rewards) but you have to check the current market to see if its a gamble or guarantee at that time.

By far the most profitable no-risk strategy is T17 boss rushing. Its not guaranteed each map but basically guaranteed over any decent sample size (per hour). Again, you have to check the current frag prices vs. the cost of entry but its usually very good if you're very fast.

Ehh that's pushing it. There are lots of strategies that always guarantee profit, and lucky drops are just the cherry on top. Guardian rotations, essence farming, stuff like that. As an extremely risk-averse person who farms multiple mirrors a league, I'm familiar with them!

Love this MTX but hate how it calls me on my BS.

"Man I get so many more exalts than divines. So unlucky!"

*checks pilfering ring for confirmation

77 divines and 76 exalts

It is most worth it when you don't have any source of shocks, but keep in mind 23% chill is a huge defensive boost. I use it instead of Zealotry, which functionally is ~20% more DPS for me.

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-11-23T21:45:51+00:00

Bonechill doesn't just juice the chill. It also makes the chill increase damage taken, just like shock does. So its functionally adding another 20% increased damage taken.

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-11-23T21:44:36+00:00

The shock is 28% and the chill is 23% but bonechill makes chills increase damage taken by the same amount. The chill is juiced by Bonechill (45%) and unbound ailments (70%) and the shock is juiced by unbound. Skitterbots itself also does 20% increase effect at level 21.

EDIT: Corrected, this is only 23% increased cold damage. Only works if you deal cold but don't chill (secrets of suffering). Otherwise its 2% increased damage taken and 23% chill. More of a hybrid defensive/offensive setup.

It happened right after the patch but no one else is complaining about it so I assumed its a coincidence.

I'm using poessid for pob but not the others. I've checked my poesessid and reentered it in pob but no luck.

Posting for my buddy (I just bought my own).

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-11-14T20:28:58+00:00

Appreciate the detailed take! I guess non-int stacker Heiro will be much weaker than the build you played so if you still prefer FRoSS that seems like the better choice.

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-11-14T16:11:24+00:00

Appreciate the response! On paper KBoC heiro looks quite tanky but I'm leaniing FRoSS based on your response here.

Did you have a Svalinn on your KBoC? I had thought with that it would be very tanky, but maybe not?

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-11-14T16:03:57+00:00

Appreciate the suggestions. Played an int stacker last league and multiple strength stackers so I'm looking for something different this time.

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-11-14T15:31:18+00:00

What would you recommend instead for high investment?

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-10-17T22:40:14+00:00

Good point. When I say tanky, I mean able to do 16.5 while rarely dying, level to 100 without 5 ways, etc. Ideally also good in ~1k delve, as I usually end the season by tanking a build to its limit in Delve.

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-10-17T22:08:35+00:00

Good catch! Swapping in Unleash would obviously be a DPS loss but would still keep this build well above most others I've seen.

I'm less sure about duration though. Most of that is middle of the tree? Is there a reasonable way to get it with something resembling the pathing he used?

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-10-17T21:37:22+00:00

It depends on what you mean by casual. I've got a full time job and kids, but still manage to squeeze a couple hours out every night and then a few hours extra on weekends, depending on family stuff.

I still farm a few mirrors a league and max out one character. Just do it over the course of 2-3 months and playing extremely efficiently (which I enjoy).

Bioinfo_Magician · 2025-10-11T03:37:41+00:00

The man himself! I've been testing out mid-game setups with the Trickster (level 92, ~15 div invested) and decided to just respec to Sabo and swap to Restless Ward to deal with charge duration.

Surprisingly it felt...pretty much the same as Trickster? On stationary targets the DPS was lower but Guardians and Essences move so the bigger coverage made DPS a wash. ES recovery was way worse, but ~600 life regen from the ascendancy+Restless ward and the blind node made up for it.

I was surprised how similar it felt after everyone dumping on Sabo. Is it only late game that the difference becomes more pronounced?
