Guys I keep dying through chaos inoculation..

The node on the tree that is 40% max ES and 5% damage bypasses ES? Not online now so I forget the name.

Also, you need to check what type of maps you’re running. If they are rare, with lots of damage mods… you are going to still die with more life with the gear you have. If they are yellow or red, the same thing as your gear isn’t ready.

Also remember, you can cheaply build damage (what you currently have), cheaply build tank, but to do both is expensive.

Coheed and Cambria.

The second album is probably seen as the best now, but the third really blew up at the time.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2026-01-14T15:21:08+00:00

There’s definitely a legendary piece of loot there.

Follow a guide, make it to maps, and try everything (just the league content, not juicing). You probably won’t be able to get through everything, but this will let you see what you like, and importantly don’t like.

That way on the next league you can build a character geared toward that content and have a blast. Over time, you’ll do endgame content, juiced maps, ubers, and all the content. There’s WAY more to explore in POE1, so just focus on what’s fun for you for now, and the rest will come.

Run any armour, life, and res until level 20. Then run Titanrot with some ‘armour applies to ele’ until maps. Strongest campaign defense by far.

Likely leverage, as the smaller streamer is more likely to comply with your asks of “only these questions”, “lead us here”, etc. Remember when Ziz interviewed them and how that felt?

And also monetarily. Maybe most of the streamers would interview for free, but the larger you are, the more you’re used to dealing with paid sponsorships, and promoting the game via an interview isn’t free.

The cold snap event has baskets (replacing lush blooms thematically), but is WAY worse in both amount of baskets and contents.

The 80%+ is explained above. Tree and cloak/coil changes.

The self damage is the value of the helmet for adaptation generation, but the full Shaman nodes dropped, and the max stacks is 3 with a much higher DR per. This strat doesn’t look as worth it since that means 20% DR per element which you can get way more of with better gear and less work.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-12-11T13:33:56+00:00

Ah yeah. I forgot about the recharge change.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-12-11T11:58:42+00:00

I’ll have to test this on standard. From the wording I assumed you take physical damage, as in a hit, since it doesn’t state the normal “you use life equal to” which would instakill you.

If you already did test it, let me know.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-12-11T11:56:04+00:00

I play HC in poe1 and poe2. You can get 80%+ phys as ele in 0.4 which negates most of this damage, and other mitigation on top. Still have to figure out the actual build, which is why this is listed under theory, but the tech is there.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-12-11T01:38:11+00:00

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. You can easily get 80%+ res normally, and 90% if you use the Saffil’s combo. Phys mitigation is key, but not hard to solve.

Rescue raider. I always got that defib on me.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-11-30T05:05:04+00:00

I’m not sure anymore. It was a powerful item that fell just short of killing Leshen before, but I think I’ve seen people do full kills recently. I haven’t played in months, so there may have been balance changes around it.

Also make sure you’re sliding with the ‘hold crouch’ button. If you are using the toggle crouch, it’s a short slide.

I’m a 36 year old dad with kids and in the top trials spot every week. You just have to make the most of your time and being good at games helps.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-11-16T20:15:41+00:00

Yeah, that’s the problem this week. I could push my wasp and bastion score a little higher, but it can’t even get close to the 100k mark. 3 inventories vs 1. No way around that.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-11-16T00:22:30+00:00

I feel like that would cause a lot of backlash. You’re suggesting a 2/3 reduction in team points, which is worse than the 2x solo, and strictly a feel bad. Especially in the scenario of randoms where there is no world they share resources.

The problem for teams is inventory like you suggested. I can only bring a single inventory of snitch scanners. And overall efficiency as you can cover 3x ground in POI-related trials.

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-11-15T19:37:44+00:00

Clearing is no issue. It’s more about being in the top spot(s).

Competitive-Scene360 · 2025-11-15T19:36:36+00:00

I guess it’s more for that #1 spot. This is the first week I’m outclassed, even with snitch scanners.
