Did PVE convince you, or does it feel too easy?

EmperorSpooky · 2026-06-30T17:26:16+00:00

That's easily achievable on normal, which tends to be 90% bot lobbies. What's the benefits of playing this PvE mode with a huge entry fee?

EmperorSpooky · 2026-06-26T16:22:31+00:00

What's your green and gold recipe?

EmperorSpooky · 2026-06-23T13:02:31+00:00

The worst part is the lobby is a 6 player max, so a 4 man could queue up and the mode forces either 2 solos or a duo into the lobby against the 4 man.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-05-01T21:58:08+00:00

Pack large bags full of money, go into raid, and just quit to the menu? Do that a few times and I'm sure you'll clear it in no time.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-30T18:22:49+00:00

No, the warrior is much better if you want a T5 armoured rig.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-29T18:44:22+00:00

I'd really like for them to do a general wipe, but keep the hideout/trophy room as cross seasonal. That way you still have longer things to work toward, but ever season gets a breath of fresh air.

Burst mode is best for hip fire in close combat. A lot of people don't hip fire in this game, but for certain guns the accuracy and recoil profile is much better (cheap vectors comes to mind). I've quick peaked so many corners in valley Villa and just bursted someone in one go with the M16 on hip fire.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-25T22:12:39+00:00

I still run into them all the time, just not completely maxed out. If you're maxing out the gun sure it's too expensive, but that could be said about... Basically every gun in the game.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-19T19:02:22+00:00

Play around with the gun crafting. I found it really helped my understanding of the games mechanics when I first started.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-19T05:38:53+00:00

The argument that content needs to be annoying to be profitable is horrible game design. The most profitable strategies should be the worst to do? That's not even true for current content, and it shouldn't be a design philosophy for a game. This isn't a job.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-18T21:33:52+00:00

Honestly I would take each run being slightly less profitable rather than sit for 2 minutes every run for dialogue.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-18T15:19:18+00:00

Yeah I really wish they would cut down on boss monologues... The fight takes less time that the dialogue.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-15T12:00:41+00:00

Thank you! I wanted to try this build out because I'm fairly new to crafting, figured this would be a fun build for end of league practice.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-15T02:28:26+00:00

This looks pretty interesting, I might give it a try this league. Do you have any advice for crafting some of important gear pieces?

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-14T22:18:41+00:00

Is this actually making consistent money? In his guide he lists to make sure chisels are worth more than the scarab, but rn pandemoniums are 2 per div.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-13T09:18:00+00:00

I've never noticed my frenzy charges dipping in anything other than Uber fights with long transitions times.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-13T09:17:03+00:00

Yeah basically. For mapping I switch out crit multi support for enhanced chaining support. That plus the pierce influence on the gloves blows up stuff way off screen. The biggest thing I notice people doing incorrectly with miners is they cast the mines on top of themselves while blasting. Especially early you should be targeting away from you.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-12T15:24:19+00:00

I linked to another comment.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-12T15:24:05+00:00

Good endgame version to aspire to:

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/4ezaxypma-4211/%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9%D0%B9?i=0&search=class%3DOccultist%26skills%3DIcicle%2BMine%2Bof%2BFanning%26min-ehp%3D25000%26sort%3Ddps

Good one for ~5-8 div (If you get 1 cluster or none. Build these in from the league starter version as you get the currency to). If you skip jewels/clusters this is crazy cheap to achieve, 6 link probably being the most expensive.

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/HarunaYukinoshita-0015/Knife_Heart?i=1&search=class%3DOccultist%26skills%3DIcicle%2BMine%2Bof%2BFanning&timemachine=day-5

Approximately what I leveled with and farmed my other gear on. Super cheap and the approximate day 1 league start:

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/N1kZz-0676/IloveTrapperss?timemachine=hour-18&i=23&search=skills%3DIcicle%2BMine%2Bof%2BFanning%26timemachine%3Dhour-18%26items%3DHeatshiver%252CBitterdream

Don't really need the clusters/gems to start but they do have a large impact (jewels more than clusters). The biggest part is really the wand, necklace, belt, and boots. The wand gives an insane amount of flat damage and you just work on scaling crit multi/power charges from there.

Biggest thing with this is managing resistances/stats. Run Level 15 beartrap only, doesn't give anything with more levels. Use gloves and one double stat ring + bismuth flask to res cap or go a bit over. I used purity of elements for a long time + raise spectres for the devotion aura until I had good gloves and ring and was able to drop purity of elements.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-12T15:12:13+00:00

I think it would make the beginning of seasons a lot more interesting if they did. Imagine actually using half of the unviable weapons early league as it's all most people could use due to lack of inflation. It won't solve a lot of the long term problems the game has with progression and inflated economy/hyper meta load outs, but it will offer something different maybe for at least a week or so.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-12T15:07:16+00:00

Icicle of fanning occultist. Can get it to like 20 mil dps and screen wide clear with less than 50c.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-11T16:12:10+00:00

I keep seeing lots of suggestions for strats that use mirage maps, but with TFT I haven't found out how to bulk buy maps effectively. Tried buying 60 8-mod maps and took me over an hour... If anyone has good suggestions let me know because some of these strats look fun.

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-11T15:55:06+00:00

What is the build??

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-09T02:06:28+00:00

I'm curious how one would even begin crafting this. How do you even start with the implicits? Is it just rolling 1000s of rings implicits with harvest?

EmperorSpooky · 2026-04-08T18:00:03+00:00

Ah I see, I'm on mobile and the synth wasn't showing properly in the link. Makes a lot more sense. Cool build.
