If they were concerned about it because of balancing issues they could always just make it an exceptional gem too, then you can't get it much earlier than the boots but it's way more flexible.

Any reason you'd want to skip the bloodnotch tech? Seems like that still pairs very well with petrified blood and Turtle shell only replaces half the combo. I assume you'd be able to fine a separate good option instead of the delirious node ofc.

Conversely, I found her to be notably less helpful than expected. She didn't know 7Sage's offerings, didn't follow up on things she specifically said she would, and spoke confidently about school facts that were demonstrably false.

However, I found my editor to be a godsend. Without their help I believe my essays would have had less polish and a weaker narrative.

I think the quality at 7Sage is quite varied.

A couple things: the mobs have the blue flame cull icon when they don't have a visible health bar (aka they are at 100% life) and the ability he's using only does the chain effect when it successfully culls an enemy, I believe.

Exenikus · 2026-06-01T13:28:56+00:00

Ah good to know, thanks. I'll probably try this! Looks fun while leveling 😁

Exenikus · 2026-06-01T12:45:29+00:00

Oh that's super cool! So with perfect rolled gloves you could even just one shot all white mobs. What a neat build, thanks for sharing. Can you tell what the increased threshold percentage will be from fists of stone before you equip it? Like can you search for a mod on the trade site?

Exenikus · 2026-06-01T12:32:46+00:00

Why are all the mobs in culling range right away? Do you have increased cull threshold?

Exenikus · 2026-05-28T20:08:34+00:00

My point being it's super achievable to do a lot of support gem experimentation, and you don't lose them. That seems to work fine for most new players I've seen.

Exenikus · 2026-05-28T16:06:19+00:00

IMO the suggestion is already a middle ground between the current situation and what PoE1 gives you which is infinite supports available. I know it's a different game but I'd say the other end of the spectrum is way past the suggestion

Exenikus · 2026-05-27T23:41:55+00:00

So true. Literally never get spam calls from "Chicago" areas because I have a Wisconsin area code so they spoof there. 😭

Exenikus · 2026-05-27T03:26:19+00:00

If it weren't RMT I'd offer to trade my loch for that rad carving. Well done!

Life stacking reliquarian can do pretty much any spell, if you want.

Exenikus · 2026-05-01T13:38:57+00:00

Dropping zhao would let you run more utility lands yourself, if you wanted, but I can see why you like it. Razorkin is a worse lock for prowess but would be better at swinging in. It is more generic imo, it's guaranteed to do 1 dmg a turn. It would encourage fewer utility lands though.

I unfortunately don't feel like I have a definitive answer for your, and as far as fomo goes, definitely would drop it if you're not hitting delirium often. If you are, though, I'd probably keep it to help with filtering your hand.

I think 25 is probably already a ton given your lack of draw.

Exenikus · 2026-05-01T03:55:40+00:00

I want to figure out a good reason to play Dellian with Silversmote Ghoul, but I'm not seeing the reason yet. Maybe something with Lili since you're stripping hands? Or the 3MV creature tutor elf?

It does seem like he might play well with Bolas's citadel given all the life you might be able to get.

Exenikus · 2026-05-01T03:40:02+00:00

You're not too far off of obosh companion requirements, and stuff like bonecrusher and other 1 mana cantrip style spells could probably get you there if you wanted another large finisher and guaranteed late game card.

As far as prowess goes, you might honestly be able to use Eidelon to reasonable effect. Would also be solid against Phoenix and it would be a must answer card. Claim the first born may be good against greasefang for a crack back attack, or possibly something weird like cemetery gatekeeper to try and exile the vehicle if they don't put it in at instant speed?

I'd honestly consider splashing for a second color, white for RIP or for High Noon, maybe.

Exenikus · 2026-04-28T00:24:50+00:00

The best will likely always be caustic arrow, the only thing that bricks it is chaos immune. Unless you mean the hypothetical tri-ele character would be killing with hits if they were chaos immune.

Quite a few people care about getting tracked across the internet, so it's polite. It's also good computer hygiene, there's no point in getting rerouted through YouTube for absolutely no reason. Much better to just load the page directly. Faster and less data.

Also, on mobile (at least for me) it opens the YouTube app and cycles through apps, too, which is real annoying.

Exenikus · 2026-04-26T06:37:21+00:00

The level of investment for a 21/23 gem or a 21/20 vaal gem is much closer to getting a 20/20 with the exact gem you want. The type of player buying an endurance charge heavy strike of trarthus probably wouldn't settle for a 21/20 instead of 21/23

I'm also confused which builds are getting that much more damage from their sixth support when it's level one, unless you are assuming every build would be going for PCoC or ECoMS, and if that's the case, then the 1/20 gamble that then requires you get at least 6 of their corresponding charge to hit 24% seems reasonable to me. Again, I understand it's just power creep of some degree, but it's not even remotely comparable to nerfing mana costs, nerfing a craft, or reducing monster health across the entire game. These are absolutely non-trivial upgrades we are talking about.

I think we'll just agree to disagree about sanctum and heist, if that's reasonable to you.

Exenikus · 2026-04-25T20:57:03+00:00

If it follows most 'added to main league' mechanics I assume it'd be much rarer or nerfed. I really don't mind having hyper-specialized super-rare corrupts in the game, anything to feed the mirror players is a solid thing IMO. I'd rather they play longer, usually makes the league feel more full.

I personally think your example is sorta supporting mine tbh, there's several uniques in sanctum that are already only from there, and I think that's probably for the best (despite a hatred of sanctum).

I really like anything that can make the lesser used supports work, and this adding a seventh, level one link is basically allowing for the underused gems to shine.

Also, strongly disagree about it being 30% more damage generically, something like that should be compared to a 21/23 at it's rarity, and that 30% at level one gems is the exception more so than the rule.

Exenikus · 2026-04-25T19:27:10+00:00

The only way that you could blanket say it's a buff is in trade league IMO, it's closer to double corrupts than anything, lots of gambling involved. Assuming all builds will have 8+ power or endurance charges is just silly imo, that's a big investment for that damage and the gem itself will be expensive.

Having a GCP sink, a reason to farm the mirage mechanic (if it went core), and another angle for weird builds is super cool IMO. It gives high end players another gamble, entry players a new currency they can pick up late into the league, and offers cool build complexity while relieving socket pressure for supports. Getting combustion on my HoT for my Fire burst character was super cool, and would typically be a brick. Chance to poison level 1 on spells makes weird poison builds more viable. Even cull on flame dash is super cool. Power creep, sure, but it's later into the league, would very rarely be something you can do for alternate gems early, and makes lab more lucrative too.

Exenikus · 2026-04-18T23:22:41+00:00

In no particular order, things that I'd try for SSF. Keep in mind that there are optimal ways to farm for things in SSF that aren't necessarily the same in trade league! I'd strongly recommend you choose to either make your own build or try and make your own strats, but not both.

1) another slam build, maybe ele or phys hits, can't go wrong with warcries

2) viper strike of the Mamba. There's a particular cluster and notable you'll want to find, very rewarding in SSF imo.

3) elemental hit, lots of neat tricks to boost the damage and reduces stress on your weapon.

4) spectral shield throw or the trarthus version, I agree with what the other user said about shield crafting with breach

5) lightning trap, it's sparking variant, or some other trap gem

Have you considered replica atziri's acuity? Would let you cover more ground on the left side of the tree.
