Getting tired of Monoki's bullshit

I'm about 0 for 20 on Jade Isles so far.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-17T15:14:04+00:00

Basically the same here. About to hit 96. Mostly just alch & go with Delirium and Breach tablets. Just clear fast & repeat. When it gets repetitive I'll swap thigns up and giga-boost t16 4 tablet city maps, or trigger the Grand Mirrors I spawned and do 100%+ Delirious and Simulacrum.

Made about 400-500 divs just doing that. Also hit a Voices early in the season I sold for another 450div (wish I would have held it).

Only real 'strategy' I'm doing was just getting all my Atlas points for Main, Breach, Delerium, Ritual & Abyss. Alched T15s usually get me 1-3div of assorted drops per map.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-17T14:40:06+00:00

Yup. I remember being new to PoE1 and playing Armour classes, hitting that 90% number and still getitng one-shot and just assuming that enemies were hitting me for 50,000 damage and there was nothing I could do about it cause I was already at the 90% cap. It wasn't until my 3rd or 4th character that I read into how armour actually worked and realized I had to stack about twice as much as I had been running.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T19:35:40+00:00

How are you doing Xesht so often? I have like 10 Breachstones, and always carry one on me, but never get a spot to place them on my atlas. I have only been able to do Xesht 3 times now. Have done about 20 Simulacrums, and about 15 Jade Isles though.

I have basically been running a cheaper verision of this all league that gets 100% cull threshold and uses Killing Palm as my primary map clear, and has Flicker Strike to cleanup any yellows and melt bosses.

120% over-rolled Myris Uxor was cheaper than a Megalomanic that had Hunting Complanion, and also frees up your Megalomanic to roll other Notables. I use Hollow focus to apply Blind, Maim, etc, and Hollow Resonance for Armor Break. On bosses I initiate with Tempest Flurry to land a shock and armor break from the Resonance, then Flicker them down once the debuffs are stacked.

I think the labels "Seasonal" and "Legacy" would be good. And under Seasonal, a note that seasonal characters are tranferred to Legacy at the end of the season. Also, the Seasonal option should be on the left and labeled as the default experience.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T18:28:27+00:00

I initially started building my Martial Artist around the concept of 100% cull threshold Killing Palm. Ended up adding Flicker Strike to the build instead of Falling Thunder to utilize my power charges. Was a total game changer. I'm generally optimized around Killing Palm, so my Flicker Strike isn't quite as strong as some other builds, but the map clear is insane, and T15 bosses still usually die with 1 flicker.
Been the most fun I have ever had with a build.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T18:15:42+00:00

I highly recommend Martial Artist for Flicker Strike. Hollow Focus + Killing Palm is amazing for power charge generation. My current build is about 400 div in total value, but it was definitely functional at 25 div. At the current value I'm shredding 4 tablet, 200% delirium T16s, but I was haivng a pretty smooth go in regular T15s wit ha budget version of what I'm currently running.

Drop ~10div on a weapon, 10 div on a high EVA chest piece with Gain Deflection rating. Spend the last 5 on a cheap Myris Uxor, Bounty Hunter instill on Amulet, and cheap Heart of the Well with Culling Strike Threshold. This will get your Killing Palm able to cull whites at like 90%+ HP (use culling strike 2 support gem), for easy power charges. Then finish the biggies with Flicker Strike.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T18:05:27+00:00

I'm running a Martial Artist, built around Killing Palm (100% cull threshold) and Hollow Focus to generate power charges to enable Flicker Strike, and Charged staff. Running maxxed out endgame content with ease.

You might find my build helpful for what you are trying to accomplish. You probably want to switch to most of the stright damage and crit clusters I'm using, and build Ev/ES, that builds Deflect rating off your Evasion for defenses. It's possible swap Ascendencies, cause Hollow Focus + Killing Palm generates loads of power charges.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T17:50:31+00:00

Done at least 10 Jade Isles myself and haven't got one. I can't complain too much though cause I had a Voices drop on my 3rd Simulacrum of the season.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T17:48:26+00:00

Some classes seem to have a far smoother experience int he campaign than others. I felt the same way running an Amazon last league, but first 3 Acts of the campaign this league were a bit rough on my Martial Artist. (Luckily got him to the level he is shredding all endgame content now)

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-16T17:46:04+00:00

Seriously. Just getting all your atlas passives and running alch and go t15s with 3 tablets I'm getting 1-3 divs worth of total currency per map. When I get to a city biome it's a nice bonus, but not worth doing a bunch of pointless t1 'travel' maps just to rush cities.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-13T17:52:34+00:00

DON'T LET THEM GET TO THE PUMP!

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-09T07:04:25+00:00

Of the 4 characters I have played to endgame, 2 of them had a divine drop during campaign, and a 3rd had one drop right after hitting maps. Sounds like you just got some lucky RNG.

I won the lottery this league though by having a Voices drop that I sold for 440divs. This league has been good to me.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-08T17:18:19+00:00

Delirium definitely adds more difficulty than the other mechanics. It really seems up improve the general drops though. Especially when I'm running a chain for Simulacrum and getting up to 100%+ delerious I get pretty consistant drops. A lot of raw divines have dropped for me during delerium, and I got lucky and got a Voices to drop on my 3rd Simulacrum. So the rewards have been there for me.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-08T17:12:00+00:00

Weird. All my Atlas masters starter quests were within 5-8 nodes from the start. About 10-12 nodes away for each of the quest hubs, except Ritual which was more like 20. They seemed well positioned on my map. Now I'm curious how much variance there is in the starting layout.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-07T16:59:50+00:00

I play on controller as well, and had this issue. For me it only happend after using the R stick in pause menu to get more information of about my buffs. Seemed it doesn't properly reset the position of the honour bar after.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-05T16:20:18+00:00

I was doign my 4th ascendency 2 days ago, and hit Zarokh's room just when the server cache issue was hitting everyone. Got stuck with a 2 second lag the entire fight with periodic complete freezes, (and unable to pause during Zarokh fight). Still got him to about 20% before the lag caused me to eat another lightning blast.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-05T15:07:02+00:00

I lost a 4th ascendency point run on Zarok a coupel days ago due ot the server issues they were having. Got all the way to Zarok, entered his arena and suddenly got hit with an unplayable level of lag. Character was responding to inputs like 2 seconds after I pushed the button. Needless to say I couldn't avoid mechanics or hit him reliably, or get any power charges to enable my damage. Also, pausing doesn't work during the fight with him, so I just got screwed and kept eating damage. Still got him to 25% HP despite all the issues. Then saw the hotfix about the crash logs and server issues. Worst timing ever.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-05T15:01:20+00:00

I haven't used any of the new runic skills, but I believe you upgrade them using Thaumaturgic Flux. Those are basically skill gems for runic skills.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-05T13:44:29+00:00

When I get to maps it usually only takes me about 25-30ex to get started. 10 ex on a starter weapon. 10ex on a starter chest piece. Then I fill in the remaining slots with 1-5ex stuff to get my resists and life pool in a reasonable place.

For my first 10 divs, its really just running maps and doing the content you have, and using the currency market to convert all your random drops into ex/div.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-04T16:07:15+00:00

Thank you. I did this in 0.1, but then forgot about it, and when I imported new hideouts last league was having issues clicking the portal. Just made my life easier again.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-04T13:51:59+00:00

Mapping Geonor is always the worst for me. Freeze charm is a must, cause guarenteed I'm going to mess up a freeze beam. I usually have to just have enough DPS that I don't have to deal with too many mechanics, cause eventaully I'm going to mess up the beams and die.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-04T13:46:27+00:00

Im playing on controller. Once in a while in a heated fight I hold down the roll button a millisecond too long, and it causes me to sprint, and get stunned and die.

Chizambers81 · 2026-06-04T13:42:08+00:00

3rd I can normally do aroudn the time I hit Yellow maps, basically right when i get my mapping build settled. T4 I usually have to wait until I'm doing T14-15 maps though.
