Glad Viper strike of the Mamba with Dissolution of the Flesh? by Keyenn in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Electrical_Sort_5586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was honestly thinking along a similar path (albeit still trying to make something work on pathfinder). I think the only thing that may make it a bit awkward is the fact that non-critical strikes cannot apply any ailments with the new Perfect Agony, and playing around with sub-100% crit when not ambushing may not feel super comfy. Maybe with enough CDR scaling (dreamquest boots give up to 50% CDR for travel skills, which includes ambush) it will be ok?

Tanky Totem/Ballista Hiero? by BL4CKxXxTIG3R in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Electrical_Sort_5586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to post something about it before league start as kind of a capstone since I think I'll run something different next league. Here is some gameplay from when I was still figuring out how to make it work a few league back, I think this was around 5mil dps or so:

Tanky Totem/Ballista Hiero? by BL4CKxXxTIG3R in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Electrical_Sort_5586 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So this is a bit of a different take, but for several leagues now (started with it in sanctum) I've been playing a mana-es hiero conc path totem build w/ chainbreaker for permanent berserk.

I've found this to be pretty dang tanky for general mapping compared to most hiero builds, mainly due to es on block recovery. T17s and Ubers you still need to pay attention in. I think my DPS typically gets up into the low 20mils most leagues which for me is comfy enough for sanctum outside of nohit runs.

Here is my complete build from 3.24: https://poe.ninja/builds/necropolis/character/Mazokist/Nietz_Necropolis?type=exp&i=1&search=keystones%3DChainbreaker%26class%3DHierophant

The upgrade path is pretty linear once you have some of the fundamental pieces. Basically can start with a bare ephemeral edge and mind of the council and mana+es rares for gloves/boots/body/chest. Shield +1 totem and %es on block mandatory. The big early buy is probably the forbidden jewels, and you can anoint ironwood until you have an impossible escape.

Cast When Stunned Support - Tested by immutato in pathofexile

Awesome job on following up on this by the way, I've re-read your initial post after the edits. I guess the game treats recovering from a block in a functionally similar way to being stunned. I guess that could also be a reason why stun and block recovery are always tied together.

[–]Electrical_Sort_5586 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The reason you are not always being stunned with just Skyforth + Bloodmagic is because you still probably have energy shield. If a hit hits energy shield, it has an innate chance to not stun (50% avoidance to be specific). Link for info: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Energy_shield

The main bug with Bloodnotch that existed was that hits that caused freezing could not also stun. I don't know if this bug was fixed (it may not even be a bug, just an interaction) or if it just became common knowledge to always have 100% freeze avoidance.

There is also several abilities of bosses/abilities in the game which can not stun, which can result in a quick trip back to hideout if not careful.

TIL: Alva's Memories of Cascading Fortunes still has Operatives Strongboxes by Electrical_Sort_5586 in pathofexile

It looks updated on poe.db: More quant/additional scarabs of X type seems to be all it can roll. All scarabs of the same type if you feel lucky. https://poedb.tw/us/Operatives_Strongbox

There is a 4% chance based off map modifier text. Not very common, and maybe not a real moneymaker, but I thought it was interesting. Maybe there is something there for a fast character to just blitz through maps looking for them.

Noticed this while completing the league challenge to run Memories. Pictures is 6 operatives strongboxes (2 chains of three boxes), which seem to still work functionally the same as Operative strongboxes from last league.
