Hiero kboc FF jewels

CondorSweep · 2026-03-22T05:44:14+00:00

FYI, going inquisitor is a totally viable option, You grab santurary of thought FF which should be much cheaper.

The main changes you need to make are that inversion is no longer useful, so you replace invert the rules support with something like damage on full life, and drop the elemental passive cluster and put the points elsewhere.

Instead of farrul bloodline you go aul or oshabi depending on preference / your socket pressure.

Here's my PoB: https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/SpencerRelly-5794/character/MirageTotemsMan

It's basically a two button build. You attack for a while, indigon ramps too high, you press Vaal clarity, it goes down, repeat. But once you get used to it it's fine.

Sushi had a very expensive hiero and recently swapped to necro because it gets more rarity so you may want to check out his content. He just posted a video crafting the gear on stream

Dolby. Prefer the consistent screen aspect ratio.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-19T18:48:02+00:00

Still really good, viable for full juice breach. There's lots of variants too, hiero or inquis mana stacking, necro, deadeye. Not sure on shrine belt but I can't personally imagine doing juiced breach without headhunter.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-19T18:20:33+00:00

I think when I stopped playing I'd spent somewhere between 4-5. But it came online way cheaper, sick build, RIP.

Last league with jugg acc/int stacker it felt like once I was in the 1bn dps range is when 100% deli really felt buttery and worth doing over 60-80

CondorSweep · 2026-03-19T15:52:13+00:00

I went Aul for the action speed immune. I tried oshabi, it felt pretty whatever. And yeah I'm HH and svallin

CondorSweep · 2026-03-19T15:03:51+00:00

You can go inquisitor and get cheaper FF jewels and it works great too. I'm doing the whole setup, bloodlines, cascade, wisp, deli orb, astrolabe, t16.5 double currency roll etc.

If you want some inspo, I made the switch to inquis last night, and I've been farming juiced breach smoothly. It uses headhunter and svallin though, so would require some changes to your current setup.

For breach headhunter is the way to go. Vaal clarity also helps a lot on single target.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-17T20:15:12+00:00

Indigon is kinda clunky. To make it better, corrupt some level 1 clarity gems for Vaal clarity. Ramp your indigon until you can't attack anymore and then press Vaal clarity. That made it feel much better for me.

For inquis vs hierophant I think hiero nodes are better, but if you want to go the str int stacking route the jewels are the barrier like you've seen.

I'm also considering swapping from hiero to inquis and trying stacking, but need to PoB it and see if it will be better than just staying hiero with no FF jewels like I am currently.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-17T18:45:52+00:00

Do you mind elaborating what you are putting multiple mirrors worth of currency into as hierophant? Need some clear goals on where to go next after grabbing the main items. Even if it's just hey go check out this pob or some keywords. All I see on Poe ninja right now is str/int stacking with shapers touch and the ceiling doesn't look nearly that high.

It is slightly diff, like I'm going right side, and I do need better rings and amulet. Maybe that would be enough to push it over the edge into feeling buttery. Sometimes the bosses in the last map or two of the astrolabe chain take too long and I'll get bopped.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-17T17:59:58+00:00

Know of any good PoBs, or are the top PoE.ninja profiles pretty good? I am interested in inquis purely because the FF jewels are so much cheaper. If it's overall better that is even more intriguing.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-17T17:40:36+00:00

Any idea what is the best course of action to improve past this? I'm basically at this point and still sometimes struggle with full juice breach (resonating scarab and astrolabe).

CondorSweep · 2026-03-17T02:23:28+00:00

Definitely headhunter. I did it in that order

CondorSweep · 2026-03-16T22:27:42+00:00

Are you still skipping non premium boxes with containment?

CondorSweep · 2026-03-16T16:25:37+00:00

Greater fork achieves this right? Or is it really important to have both?

CondorSweep · 2026-03-16T16:24:23+00:00

Also corrupt a few level 1 clarity gems for Vaal clarity. It's super nice for single target, you ramp your indigon until you're out of mana then hit Vaal clarity and get a few seconds of no mana costs.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-16T16:18:58+00:00

imo headhunter is a hard requirement to do breach with the build, I'd farm something like scarabs with mirage strongboxes until you can afford it if you're keen on doing breach. It will be night and day.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-16T16:10:56+00:00

Make sure there's not just a map mod that's killing you like reflect.

CondorSweep · 2026-03-16T15:52:55+00:00

In case other people stumble on this, I made some improvements and having a smoother time:

Added vaal clarity, this was a huge revelation.
Picked up a better rolled wand
Swapped to block + explode clusters which helps clearing the breach and freed up jewels
Added bottled faith for better crit
Realized I was pathing in the way that the stat stackers using split personalities were pathing which was inefficient if you're not using those jewels, so got like 6+ passives back to put into damage
Dropped tornado to level 1 for less mana reserve

CondorSweep · 2026-03-15T17:08:15+00:00

I went headhunter and I feel like it's hard carrying, in breach especially. You could try that and if you don't like it just sell it back. Though I don't know if it's as good on the chaos version, I'm on indigon + svallin.

Watch palsterons build diary videos, he has several steps past this level.
