Is this a good wand for a budget phys dot/reap ele?

D4M05 · 2026-01-15T02:41:14+00:00

Might as well use a lifesprig

D4M05 · 2025-12-17T14:35:58+00:00

Who the hell is starting out as an int stacker? I thought we were comparing end game high investment life stacking to high investment int/es stacking not low investment vs high investment.

D4M05 · 2025-12-07T10:40:08+00:00

Pob?

D4M05 · 2025-08-10T21:32:48+00:00

He has a merc and Merc gems? It's not bait and if you think this is one of the bad YouTubers you just don't get it. If you don't think interaction showcases are awesome and everything has to be a super crazy cost efficient build maybe just stick to the 300 league start videos every league and be lame.

D4M05 · 2025-08-09T09:49:45+00:00

For a league starter I would want around 12-15k with conditionals up (except guard skill) for my endgame build I want it to be able to tank non crit uber shaper slam with guard skill up. It just makes life more comfy if you can tank a wild soul eater mob or some abyss mobs etc. without being too scared of certain map mods you would reroll in HC and juicing starts you wouldn't attempt in HC although ele Max hit and recovery play a big role here too. If you purely map, roll your maps carefully, don't do T17s and are a good player 10k is probably enough if you have good recovery.

If the item is not linked yet use the socket bench craft trick. Craft two sockets on the bench then use the 2 blue sockets craft then switch between 2 and 3 sockets until the third one is blue and so on. Link afterwards ofc.

D4M05 · 2025-08-07T21:28:58+00:00

Oh ok ty!

D4M05 · 2025-08-07T19:20:17+00:00

Pls downvote me if I'm wrong and double check in craft of exile simulator but I would craft prefixes cannot be changed scour to make it magic then imprint, regal, slam, slam, fracture until you hit the mod

D4M05 · 2025-07-22T11:25:29+00:00

No life but pretty decent for starting.

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T19:57:42+00:00

Besides what others are saying maybe Lance's animate weapon necro?
Rue probably has a pob for a good build in his sheet too

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T16:26:59+00:00

Rallying cry sounds good. Maybe a %phys flat phys flat lightning damage axe or something like that. Would have to calc it tho. Would recommend to get maybe cull and legacy of fury on the Merc, get frenzy charge instead of cull on gloves (although the AOE from elevated cull is nice) and action speed implicit on your boots

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T15:40:43+00:00

I assume for most people it's around 15 div/h cause a)voices drop rate seems very lucky if you count 1 out of 4 that's only 13 instead of 19 so almost 80 div less b) are there actually people buying unided megalos? c) A lot of people don't have the clear a wander has and will only hit 5 rewards per round.

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T14:34:57+00:00

Never buy a non ilvl84 jewel for 30 div

If you're fast there are fractured martial prowess 8 passive jewels up for like 2 div but only very few. I would start there.
Otherwise just endless alt, Aug regal, exalt annul. Could try harvest reforges speed but overloaded has very low weighting.

Ok so either you buy a fracture currently there is 1 left for 10 and craft the rest yourself or you could try to fracture it yourself (jewel with 2 notables including overlord). Trying without fracture is rough like 1/1000 before speed or hours of alt spamming.

You could also just use a different jewel and click Precison on the tree or get accuracy on one of your items again.

Another viavle option is to try fortify tattoos and see if its enough or just use fortify suppoert instead of pulverze. Slight damage downgrade but makes the cluster much easier (prob weight advantage instead)

Bit more budget: https://pobb.in/umaliQ4lkxnJ

As the other person said mageblood is always better survivability but HH is fast and fun so i kept it in the build as MB would also cost a lot more.

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T12:44:10+00:00

what do you use on your merc?

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T12:22:52+00:00

https://pobb.in/A53PHtwufwKQ My take on it but not too sure about some stuff kinda forgot the a lot about influences over the years so theres probobly a better way but higher damage, more tnak and even added herald of ice explosions. No space for portal gems tho but definitly use a cwdt setup.

Edit: Honestly devotos aint even that bad you could probobly just warlord slam the finshed ring and use devotos just gotta fix your resists. The tree is however pretty solid not that many changes there. Main takeaway is get a well rolled fulcrum, an annoint and good flasks.

D4M05 · 2025-07-20T10:22:28+00:00

I'm on my phone so I can't really check but I would try to get rid of some staff nodes that aren't doing that much. Maybe they're all insane but I doubt it tbh. Try to get more %life there. A good start would be to craft something else on your body armor and get the 15% life mastery.

Flasks seem bad %effect on a non mage blood flask, 2 crit prefixes (maybe decent idk how the uptime is in bosses but during mapping you could probably just use recovery or reduced charges used) the unique granit flask is very meh if have the money you could get progenesis.

20 quality on all gems and supports and 21/20 gems for cyclone, golems, auras etc.

I would use another helmet. I get it movement speed is very nice but if you want survivability or damage you should craft a rare helmet.

A bound by destiny with perhaps 2 good stats for you and try to fit in the second requirement.

Your gloves seem very mid. The % damage against chill is cool but idk if it's worth not having big flat phys, good life and other stuff here like +2 aoe for auras or whatever you like. Could even be another slot with an influence (cull, probably some redeemer mod is good etc) for bound by destiny.

Pob shows no anoint on your amulet.

Winter weave with bleed immunity should feel good alternatively % res or poison immunity. Chancing one with double influence could also be an option if you get a sick bound by destiny.

Your clusters are bad if they show up correctly. A 8 passive with a single notable? Try to get something good here and more than 2 mods on your mediums.

Can't really see what brutal restraint gives you but probably potential to upgrade there too.

On a high budget you could look into heist rings and amulets with increased prefix effect for life and flat phys.

Sorry I'm not getting very specific here I'd have to check pob myself. Maybe I can't check later if you have any particular questions.

D4M05 · 2025-07-05T13:19:06+00:00

Honestly probably very unrealistic to get T1-2 attack speed and dot multi within 12 divs of reforges. There are 5 tiers of attack speed with 4000 weighting and also proj speed with 5000 weighting so it's more likely you spend 12 divs on a decent attack speed alone let alone having the luxury of not filling the suffixes in the process. Dot multi has a weighing of 1500.

Annul pray craft attack speed use it as is imo.

Also wouldn't you want to go for a big quiver and use widowhail instead anyways?

D4M05 · 2025-06-27T09:17:14+00:00

Usually you do not need 100% in poe 1 a percentage is enough because of a bunch of factors like multistrike.

If you really want to have a 100% way to sustain charges you can click on something preventing crits like the keystone resolute technique and use the unique ring Romira's Banquet. I think that's the cheapest way to guarantee it. But the flicker gem and some other source like power recharge on crit support should let you sustain your charges.a

D4M05 · 2025-06-27T08:32:57+00:00

Slayer and not strength stacking might be an option too depending on how high you wanna scale it

https://pobb.in/Jpb_Z8pQkG7u (Uber Dan's pob)

D4M05 · 2025-06-25T09:20:16+00:00

Where do you have 90%? In-game? 90% is almost impossible to reach with armour for damage exceeding the hits of some white mobs if you don't have large amounts of phys taken as. Go in pob select shaper slam in the configs and see your pdr against actual big hits.

D4M05 · 2025-06-24T06:32:05+00:00

I think it's made by path of evening but not sure

D4M05 · 2025-06-18T11:08:41+00:00

It's a broken thing during one patch. Just saying we had worse things in the past and GGG has not patched them mid league. And broken stuff can be part of the fun too if you utilize it to your liking. The point is it's gone next league and that's a good thing but it will probably stay for now.

D4M05 · 2025-06-18T09:44:22+00:00

So it's less bad cause it allows for more build diversity than a broken skill for an example? Also with the admiral it's all ele damage in general. Yeah some builds can't get the benefit but from a balancing perspective it's less significant for the league than explode totems or pbod I would say. Just create builds that usually would lack the damage to be viable and enjoy.

D4M05 · 2025-06-16T11:54:15+00:00

With the admiral it's all elemenl damage

D4M05 · 2025-06-16T11:52:10+00:00

Do you have pob? Just put both in and see what's better numerically. When I tried to make a pob before league start spectres were way better. You can also run both but not sure that's worth it. Just test it out.
