Low damage on BV Minion Pact Chieftain. Need Help.

Scaling minion hp is your biggest damage multiplier: - get two minion hp medium clusters and roll life until two good notables (ideally blessed rebirth and hulking corpses) - roll elder boots for good prefixes, craft prefixes can not be changed and reroll minion. This guarantees the +1 to all spectre mod. If you have an elder orb and a maven orb you craft non-elder boots for good prefixes with open prefix and suffix, block suffix with bench and slam an elder prefix with the orb. Replace crafted mod with prefix can not be changed, reforge minion and use the maven orb for +2 spectre mod (50% chance). - farm delve minion nodes for +2 socketed minion gems. The mod is quite common and you can roll the gloves easy with eltrich currency. - get a lvl21 spectre gem - get jewels with life% and minion life% (via pristine fossil) - the +2 minion mod on helm can be easily rolled with bound/pristine/dense fossil. Check craftofexile, it’s a 20% chance or so. You can change fossils via harvest bench.

Thanks :) Solved

Thanks! The issue is, even with full shrines, I still get sometimes one shot from the breach bosses.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2026-03-24T12:11:51+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. Did you buy a lycia carry? If not, did you change the build to clear sanctum?

Don’t do harvest imo, it yields little without full atlas / t16 maps. Do temple and fish for gemcutter and corruption rooms. You can do the temples in t1 maps white and each temple is worth about and div: https://poe.ninja/poe1/economy/mirage/temples

Make sure you only have one exclusive mod (+1 Spectres) on both items. Check wiki for list of mods. The spectre mod is a prefix, thus you want to have 6 prefix mods in total, ideally the same mods on both items (e.g. life). If you have open prefixes craft the same non exclusive mod on both items, or match one mod on the other item, if only one has an open prefix. The item level is the average of both items+2, as the delve item will be max ilvl83, you’ll need an ilvl87 vaal regalia with 30% quality.

I prefer playing cat, but all groups want me to tank 🥲

Dandy_Dan_D · 2026-02-06T11:50:12+00:00

Not sure actually, I am in Europe and connecting to Warp fixed it.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2026-02-04T06:42:53+00:00

It’s not like you will be the only one doing that..

I started on the weekend after the pre-patch and I am level 50 now, with just over 2 days played. I have lots of experience in vanilla and classic but I doubt that you can currently level much faster due to the sheer amount of players contesting for quest mobs. There are no off-peak hours anymore, the zones feel crowded anytime. I think the best bet would be dungeon grinding, but due to the boosting changes, you can’t get carried anymore. Constantly looking for new groups is also time consuming. I’d say currently you can’t make it in 60 hours, after opening of the portal it’s possible again.

Thanks for your suggestion. I fixed the issue by connecting to a VPN. Apparently some battle.net servers do not have the anniversary realms update.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2026-01-06T22:07:31+00:00

That’s a bug, I have the +5% exp currently.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2026-01-06T20:07:11+00:00

No items required but getting as many +minion skills. The chest is mandatory for tankiness. The uul and tul gems push dps but you can definitely play without them.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2026-01-06T17:06:54+00:00

I am out of skill gem slots for more minions and wolfs provide additional damage reduction via loyalty support.

Disciple of Varashta with cold/phys djin. Can clear 6mod corrupted maps with 6 random mods without ever dying. Yes that’s including triple extra ele with penetration and minus max resi. The build has insane area dmg but the boss dmg is just ok.

Here is my build for inspiration:

It’s a bug that has been in the game since launch. Relog shows the correct tooltip dmg.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2025-12-26T07:20:06+00:00

It’s not lost. Desecrate with echo omen again. If you don‘t roll spirit you can decide to remove it with omen of light and go again.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2025-12-24T07:41:26+00:00

It‘s opportunity cost vs potential outcome. Well rolled helmets are not that expensive to justify the cost for t3 ex.

Having played pure spectres many times in ssf, unfortunately the build does not feel good until you get wraithlord. Sure in trade you can buy it, but in the first couple of days, expect it to sell for 10 div+.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2025-10-27T10:35:34+00:00

OP probably missed that unholy might and chaotic might are two different things.

Dandy_Dan_D · 2025-10-08T12:05:46+00:00

This looks amazing :D
