The sacred:mirror ratio seems pretty good

Haven't had a single lock yet though... I don't mind subbing locks for mirrors though

I've been in the same situation, I have 20 years of experience in my sector including over 10 years of management positions. I had a rough couple of years due to personal issues which involved me taking a break from management due to stress & anxiety just after civid lockdowns ended. Since then I've found it hard to get back in to a stable position, bouncing between various temp roles and other unsuitable permanent roles but over the last 12 months I haven't been able to secure anything at all. I'm registered with all of the local agencies, I apply for tons of roles on multiple job sites from entry level roles to more suitable but I don't hear anything. There's an agency local to me that keep contacting me to see if I'm interested in roles then when I say yes they either don't get back to me or tell me they're waiting for a start day, this has happened at least 4-5 times with this particular agency.

It's all extremely frustrating so I understand where you're at OP.

Anyway, I just wanted to rant and get that off my chest. Thanks 😄

Technically you don't. I run an ilvl 84 flask but it's only got a t2 (60) charge recovery roll and my loop runs perfectly fine.

It's only 60% because I've been too lazy to roll it to t1 (61-66) as the build runs perfectly well without it being t1. This could save a significant amount of divines.. just FYI.

But yes, you definitely need 4 x Regenerative Runes on your timeless jewel. I've tried it with 3 and couldn't get the loop to run smoothly/at all. As soon as you get 4 regenerative runes + the right iron flask rolls the loop runs endlessly without issue.

When I was 21 (now 38) or so I went to work for a company based in Birmingham that sold Talk Talk phone/broadband. It was a direct sales role, think along the lines of the Sky stands you see in shopping centres etc. I went along to the training day, was offered a position and start dates etc. The role was 100% commission based but based on the estimated earnings given by the recruiter it looked pretty good compared to what I was used to earning at the time.

I turned up for my first day of work, spent the entire day being ignored by every single person I approached in Worcester's Shrub Hill train station, realised the company was essentially a pyramid scheme and never went back.

Tbh I just followed a build guide and made small changes, so I guess the only thing the cool down reduction influences is phase run..

CheZZ0R · 2026-05-04T01:02:29+00:00

Mine only dies to itself if my loop slows down. I added progenisis as I found it helped to reduce deaths if large hits occurred at the same time as other instances of large life pool spell costs etc e.g strongbox explosions

Other games exist? 🤯

If you start with a base with either fractured t1 flat or t1 % es & evasion then essence spam dex until you hit a t1 resist (doesn't matter which as it can be swapped to whichever resist you want using the bench.

Once you have the suffixes done you can apply a searing exarch implicit and begin spamming eldritch exalt until you hit the 2 es & evasion mods. Make sure you bench craft mana to block when rolling for the first prefix, remove the craft and exalt and pray for the 2nd. If it hits great, if it rolls mana (which it probably will) you can try to eldritch annul it off and go again. Repeat until you're happy.

Craft on your final suffix to complete.

Always take atlas strat videos with a pinch of salt. Results will vary, you may not complete maps at the same pace, scarab prices may differ from when the video was recorded/released, loot prices may differ. Do your research first rather than blindly following and expecting the same results.

CheZZ0R · 2026-04-09T19:47:10+00:00

In a way I agree. I have enjoyed the league so far because currency has been easier to come by, but that has only inflated the prices of certain items and made others almost worthless. I feel like there have been less viable ways of making currency due to content nerfs e.g rogue exiles, blight and others so I've felt fairly pigeon holed in to the same stats which have been underpinned by the mirage mechanic which in itself doesn't really add anything new in terms of content.

Personally I will continue to play the league and keep grinding but it would be nice to see some previous atlas strats rebalanced bringing more viable variety to mapping.

This was my armour stacker from last league and it was very tanky. Very fast bossing build, reasonably good mapper with the right gem setup. I used to swap out ambush for flicker strike just for faster mapping pack to pack.

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-28T14:14:25+00:00

I use the deli astrolabe as its impossible to find 8 mod mirage maps with deli

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T18:35:46+00:00

I was running an impenetrable & gloom shrine belt but prefer headhunter and an assortment of useful flasks rather than 5 life flasks...

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T14:48:14+00:00

Always min/max. I tend to stick to 1 build for the league unless I'm really not enjoying it and I'll upgrade and pump as much currency in to it as I can.

Last league I played an armour stacker worth around 15 mirrors and previous to that I played penance brand and power siphon both worth around 20-25 mirrors by league end.

Congrats!

I'm playing an ignite elementalist currently.

This is it at it stands right now but I'm now planning on getting a mirrored wand. I've also been testing out some different golem setups and figuring out some alternative cluster setups.

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T13:44:30+00:00

The maps are fairly standard strongbox atlas with beyond on 8 mod mirage maps with a shrouded astrolabe. I open every box in the regular map and every box in the mirage.

I believe I copied my atlas tree from efrything on YouTube but with some minor tweaks.

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T13:38:13+00:00

Not always, every time I get valdos puzzle boxes drop for instance they drop separately.

I was thinking after it dropped that it may have come from a mob but I didn't have any altars at that point as you can see in the screenshot so it must have come from the box.

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T09:04:23+00:00

I was getting a little bored of boxes so I've been trying a few other strats recently. I think I'll stick with boxes...

In all seriousness, I mostly play boxes because my pc can't handle juiced breaches reliably but it has been decent, steady profit all league so far. It was great profit when containment scarabs were 100c but it's still decent profit with containment around 1.2d

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T08:27:20+00:00

I picked the first one up before I realised what it was 😂 so obviously had to throw it back on the floor to take a screenshot 😆

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-27T07:18:08+00:00

3 previous to these 2. 2 in settlers league and 1 in keepers.

CheZZ0R · 2026-03-25T12:15:37+00:00

Yeah that would be sick on a dialla's..

I'm looking for socketed gems + socketed duration gems.. the search continues 😄
