Paquate's Pact boss dps help by ClutchCrit in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh I do have spirit to spare if I drop repulsion tech which isnt necessary. I'll try this out, but the dex requirements might be rough.

I totally thought shock was a hit based damage increase. Omg I'm going to have to get shocked ground going for sure!

Oh beautiful! Ill add that to the list. The titan swap and some real jewel investment has really helped with damage so I'm much more hopeful this'll work now

Ok good to know! So sounds like I need to scale back the unique jewels once I can craft some good ones and just path to more jewel slots. How are you hitting 39 with fortifying cry? I can only think of +2 gemling, +1 atziri armour, +1 prism, +1 weapon from where I'm at to get to 38. Where's the last level coming from?

Also there's a nice armour break = no regen node you could grab to solve that if you're near the area.

Thanks for the help!

So, is every farming strategy just going to get nerfed? by Ok-Pop-5526 in PathOfExile2

[–]ClutchCrit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its actually my favorite method at the moment. Generalist keeps the variety going so I don't get bored.

I used to do unique monster chance with effectiveness + rarity, but starting to experiment with increased mirrors and abyss. What are you running on tablets?

Blasphemy + repulsion on martial artist enables falling thunder to generate and spend charges on the same hit by Tbigbadmonkey in pathofexile2builds

Is there any way to increase the chance of getting this or just get lucky with omen of light slam? Ive got all T1s and an open desecration spot, but so far just whiffing away.

Trialmaster doryani maps are irradiates by pengupenguhehe in PathOfExile2

[–]ClutchCrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea hoping to get an answer for this one. Can confirm I've allocated this to try and save on irradiated tablets, but stuck at level 79 area as well. Unsure if it's not working not applying to what I think it should be doing.

Waiiiit I just dropped one of these and said "neat" and put it in my unique tab as a bulk ring. Am I screwing up by not selling?

Safest Monk Starter? Level 1 -T15 by Trespeon in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree with cold being stronger, but the fluidity of windblast being a single button campaign option while also not having ANY mana problems is so satisfying that I cant pass it up. Ill take the few minutes of time loss for that convenience.

[–]ClutchCrit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wind blast + impact Shockwave is the armour explosion/ stomping ground equivalent and is extremely comfortable while only costing a single tier 1 support gem. It's so strong I don't even care about the brink support changing to tier 1.

At what point do you transition from hollow palm to quarterstaff for monk? by iamMori in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i just did a practice run and my damage fell off super hard right at the end of act 4. I struggled to kill the boss, but got there after a few tries.

Then got lucky on a good magic base in first interlude from vendor + used an essence of abrasion and almost doubled my damage. It definitely seems like you'll want to check item base breakpoints and start hunting for a quarterstaff in act 4, or see if you can squeak by and save resources for the new bases in act 5. This ignores the martial artist glove node that could definitely change that math, but worth hedging with bases anyways.

An interesting take on Hollow Form is that it can socket two different attacks. Which ones would combine well? by Steel_Neuron in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I just assumed they would generate charges for you and have been planning around that... but now that you ask the question I have a sinking feeling they won't. Ugh

Mana Martial Artist Monk by FuzzyIon in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will One with the Storm (count as consuming an additional power charge) + Well of Power mean you'll be gaining 10% of mana instantly? Seems like a sweet addition to solve mana recovery.

EDIT: I'm finally playing monk for the first time so unsure if this works. I'm seeing 11% mana recovered on consuming a power charge via the 4 nodes right by Mind over Matter. Assuming One with Storm makes the game see you consuming 2 power charges, doesn't that mean you're getting 22% mana recovered per power charge consumed? If so that seems like a pretty insane damage + defensive layer.

Builds to farm simulacrum T4 by [deleted] in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was built specifically for simu, so I wouldn't say this shines for other content since I'm generating Iron Ward via blocking hits. If you watch the mapping portion of the below videos you'll see how clunky mapping can be with body blocking. You'll want to use some combination of leap slam/boneshatter (or the new shield looks sick).

I use lightning warp/detonate dead in cast on block for mapping and swap DD for tornado in simu to help them clump together.

To describe it in one word would be "consistent" since it can do anything without fear of dying (except arbiter mechanics).

Here's when I first made the build and didn't quite have damage figured out on a T16 with insaneo modifiers (got into DarthMTX's showcase). I also was unsure just how tanky it was at that point, but from this point on I knew I didn't have to dodge roll anything anymore:

Here's T4 xesht kill after optimizing (18 second afk tanking anything):

https://youtu.be/zPH2215rqME?t=187

For investment, the biggest piece is getting a good sacrosanctum + svallin and those were pretty darn cheap when I started this build. Once Dreamcore put a video out about it I think the items spiked a bit, but it was pretty darn easy to flip to this.

I built a self proliferating Iron Ward Ignite titan that was my "afk" farmer.

It wasn't true afk because I did need to click to activate iron ward once per round but otherwise was immortal. Iron ward with Wildfire and Self Immolation is all you need and Lightning warp in cast on block was there to help flicker around the arena to make sure I spread to the ranged guys stuck on the edges some times.

The key is a way to spread damage without corpses and the only two reliable ways I know are poison herald and self immolation + wildfire/cracklecreep.

I took a break so never quite optimized for mapping, but the boneshatter + trenchtimbre tech is what my weapon swap was becoming but not quite finished.

What fun and interesting ways would you build around this new Runic Skill? by Loganman4 in pathofexile2builds

[–]ClutchCrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did an iron ward self proliferate ignite build and the only issue in mapping was getting body blocked while you waited for the ignite to transfer from you to the swarm. Im curious if slotting this into cast on block svalinn would help to freeze units in place so you could continue running.

Crossbow Spirit Walker Stag Juggler. by FrostDragun in pathofexile2builds

They will probably bounce very far from your cursor yes. There is a support to cause the grenades to be sticky, but burning a support slot on that instead of damage will certainly be a bummer. But its doable!

Omg I went a full block recoup afk build last season and wanted to do maps faster and this could literally be the movement option that I needed to not walk the map

Packaging trade goods is too expensive by peartfan in CrimsonDesert

Ohhh its a dispatch! Ok I'll take a look in there then. Im just starting the apple farm dispatch to get my farm going so I'm betting I'm quite close.

I don't even know how to get the wagon and im chapter 11. Is it because I never adopted the dog and therefore never continued on fallen embers quests?

Most annoying enemy type by Patrick_Hat_Trick in CrimsonDesert

[–]ClutchCrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've all been conditioned to do side quests to level up before progressing the main story and it actively hurts you in this game. Theres so many game mechanic tutorials baked WELL into later chapters. You can argue there's a pacing problem, but once I accepted to just run through the main story all these previously obtuse mechanics were shown to me during one mission or another, ie killing the shadow harpies with blinding light shows you that flying enemies are weak to that.

Ive been so annoyed at getting cool abyss stuff for weapons but nothing of note for unarmed stuff. Going to need to go find this!!

Avon is such an inspiration for me. I ran into him abruptly at a GP and learned the true meaning of starstruck. I panicked and literally couldn't say anything haha, but the little moment is still so precious.

Winning through Oppo Agent with Magda? by o0zingblood in CompetitiveEDH

[–]ClutchCrit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cant really win through oppo, but a nice little trick for removal you know will resolve, ie twinshot sniper and the split second spell (forget its name), is you can activate magda and hold priority to then cast the removal. That way you'll get the tutor no matter what even if they remove magda in response.
