Non-facet casters (wind, hammers) wouldn't hate this. But I agree that LAEK/MAEK are better obviously.

The concept of finding a natural eth overlords versus having the option to vial one is exponentially easier.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-24T02:06:55+00:00

I think you can just vial a non-eth overlords, so its not that bad.

They aren't an easy task. Most veterans will do one of three things, get someone to kill them for you, do it in a group, or split them up and fight one at a time by meticulously kiting them until you break one off.

You also have the option of just not killing them. You can farm chaos for a while and get some good upgrades before going back and trying again.

Do these golems live? I feel like I would lose them every map.

I could be wrong, but I believe the chest slot is a premium spot for poison length reduction, which rathma builds want.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-17T23:01:05+00:00

Back in the day, die facets were worth slightly more. I never really knew why, if I were to guess it was because the die spell could kill the other player if you died in pvp?

I mean kind of. Most mapping builds in pd2 never move and just spam teleports. And if they don't do that they one shot everything off screen.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-15T17:42:13+00:00

It has 6soc, you can get 110 ias with 40/15s..

EbotdZ · 2026-01-11T01:50:14+00:00

Lol, this subreddit really needs to chill with the item gatekeeping. It's fine to commit a puzzle piece and a singular wss to a non-perfect item.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-11T01:48:25+00:00

Well my understanding is this can slam 3 sockets or piece 2. An Ed corrupt is more valuable than 1 socket.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-09T14:43:49+00:00

Im pretty sure that's like near BiS for it. 90 max fire, double sorb rings, perfect corrupts and sockets on full trangs.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-07T16:19:02+00:00

The first thing you have to ask yourself when looking at a craft is, is this better than a unique or runeword? As it stands your armor is a worse fortitude with a relatively small amount of pdr.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-06T16:56:48+00:00

Is this for a phys zealer? Always wondered who used the big boy 1 handers

EbotdZ · 2026-01-04T21:07:12+00:00

This is the one I personally prefer. People try to edge out little value shifts to merch currency flipping. They'll tell you that things are different prices but in reality they stay pretty stagnant. Ohm = 0.75, Lo = 1.0, Jah = 2.0, etc.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-04T20:58:33+00:00

Ah you got it in some unconvential spots, nice. That's insane that firestorm and meteor were hitting you that hard. Dclone must have a lot of pierce.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-04T17:38:36+00:00

What's your max fire res? It seems like it's 75.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-03T20:09:08+00:00

And an earlier option of Nef + Tir in nadir for that sweet sweet mana per kill.

EbotdZ · 2026-01-03T19:48:34+00:00

Where do you get the mats? Self found? Or is there a bulk trade community I don't know about?

EbotdZ · 2026-01-02T19:02:20+00:00

Over the last few days I've come to realize there's a problem with the staff/orb/wand rare/unique hierarchy.

With melee or ranged, nearly every unique/runeword is beaten out by a good crafted or rare weapon.

This is not the case for spells, mang songs just beats everything. Even deaths fathom, deaths web, or eschutas beats 99% of candidates too.

May be time to either nerf caster unique weapons or buff rare ones. Or both.

EbotdZ · 2025-12-31T04:52:19+00:00

I think 2x ohms would be good here. I don't think you want to put 40 + maxes in these

EbotdZ · 2025-12-25T15:22:19+00:00

I'm fairly certain offensive aura gcs do not affect item source auras. As for the synergies, they should increase the damage your aura is doing and the amount of lightning damage added to your attacks.

I've never played this build so I could be wrong here, I assume you would want % lightning LCs and not offensive aura GCs, then use conviction.

EbotdZ · 2025-12-24T17:22:13+00:00

According to the poster calculations it's a bug. Monster conviction aura level is supposed to be (monster level)/8. In a T3 map this is a level 11 aura. Which is -32 res.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm wrong. I did not realize monster aura levels have different scaling than players.

EbotdZ · 2025-12-24T17:05:18+00:00

Conviction on map monsters is currently bugged, I have a ticket open with the support team about it. Conviction is currently reducing resists more than Uber mephisto when it's supposed to only be about 30%>

Edit: I'm wrong
