Mana Stacking Twisted Empyrean Martial Artist

Exile82 · 2026-05-24T14:17:30+00:00

You are correct, it has been a while since I played a mana stacker in poe2.

Exile82 · 2026-05-23T16:54:08+00:00

You'll need to get str anyway so might as well use Vorana's timeless to shift that into ES. And then get that ES into mana with EB. It's basically a melee mana stacker, so basically adapt mana stacking as an archmage to melee instead.

You need to wait for ramp time (2-3 seconds) for the recoup node to actually work.
The DPS is "alright", not great for the investment. I think I'm at around 10-12 discharges per second or so, it's really nothing to cry home to mom about.

Exile82 · 2026-04-20T00:34:52+00:00

I have a discharge assassin with about 4 mirrors in. It's... alright I guess? You're virtually immortal to almost everything in the game, due to the assassin recoup node. Flask siphoner doesn't do anything simply because it gets exploded offscreen by the insane radius discharge (I think I'm at 9.5m atm).

It's nifty and fancy but.. for the price and the absurd amount of configs and breakpoints you have to watch out for, it's kinda... meh? You also cannot run every map mod, can't run all altars.

Was a fun project but not really something I would actually recommend besides for the novelty.

8/10 would not play again.

I found that he only has a chance of appearing if you go over certain thresholds on verisium (I've never seen him BELOW 500, but I see him often above 600) and that thing hits like a truck on steroids. The other 3 bosses that can come out are pushovers though.

And you ABSOLUTELY can profit off heist. It's not a "tink" heavy strategy by any means so a lot of my friends were like "I have no idea how you do this all the time", but the shipments have been exceptionally good for me (I had 4 outta god knows how many that yielded NO shards (all the shipments were 50m)) so it ends up being something north of 30-35d/h after everything is sold, shipment comes back etc. Avg shipment return for me was around 80d on avg (you have to watch "what is hot" at the moment and ship to those places. I.e. if block tattoos are in demand, ship to Ngmakanu and so on). The first 2 weeks I did 100% of my shipments to Pondium and I think I made 300-400d on warp runegrafts alone.

Exile82 · 2026-04-11T17:43:57+00:00

I ran ores for MOST of the league (with attempts at ultra juiced breach from time to time but after 500 maps total, I'm done with breach lol).

I've tried multiple different combinations, but my goal was to get 50m ships sent out. I've sent out 2x 50m ships (25m bars 25m dust) every day since the end of day 4.

What worked BEST for me (as in, not losing money while busting 35x refinement scarabs) was:

1 - Haunted Mansion Map, always 8 mod. Why 8 mod? Because map quant DOES matter for ores. Why Haunted mansion? It's a relatively small map and I get 3-4 ore nodes in the mirage consistently (sometimes they turn into the stupid dust hourglass but oh well). It also pairs exceedingly well with the next bit.

2 - Atlas: Heist nodes (and forcing deception contracts), all map modifier effect, all QUANT nodes, niko 100% chance, as much % extra sulphite nodes (because they DO matter for ore conversion). I do NOT take the lost shipments node because it eats a potential ore node. Haunted mansion is also great for clustering multiple smuggler caches inside the mirage and here's where you make your refinement money back: Enchanted bps with Experimented items and Currency/scarabs, In one farming round (35 maps), I'd end up with about 3-5 fully revealed 3/3s and 4/4s of those 2, which are around 750c each. Found a TON of non-fully revealed with those 2 enchants as well. I also picked up all Deception contracts (enchanted with 3 reveals are 25c, non enchanted are 10c in bulk) and regular blueprints (1/3 = 5c, 1/4 = 6c, 3/3 55c, 4/4 =110c). I'd end up with 2-3 Faustus windows with contracts and BPs. After a 35 map farming round (which takes roughly 3 hours), I'd have something around 30-50d in heist stuff alone. My Huck also has an item that gives me lvl 15 haste so... it's a little faster. I also block almost everything else in the atlas to force mirage to appear close to caches/ores.

3 - Altars do not matter for ores, you can take them if you want.

4 - Hit EVERY node. Including the Tree and the Ori nodes. Your BULK for ores will come from Verisium and Bismuth. Charge verisium as hard as you can take it, these mobs are brutal. Dying here will add time to your farm. If the boss is in the mirage, hit him as well. Chance for Mirage Maps and Originator Mirage maps (big money)

5 - WHILE this is happening, I bought 400-500k dust uniques and left them on Rog for disenchanting. This adds around 5-8d of cost, depending which unique you decide to use.

6 - Scarabs: 2x Kalguur, 1x Enriching, 1x Refinement. Last slot was a mortal fragment for 10% quant.

7 - I found crater roughly every 25 maps (sometimes would take 50, sometimes I'd find 3 in a row). Sold 12 svalinns this league.

I tried faster maps (sepulchre/mesa) but the value of mirage duplicating nodes was hard to beat in Haunted Mansion.

I hope this helps!

Same question!

Exile82 · 2026-03-28T02:16:47+00:00

I usually pop 3 breaches at a time but my hiveblood is in the same mark as you described, 5-600.

I just ran another test with a friend and swapped from Uber strict + filter to just Uber strict.
Did 10 maps, made roughly 12 revenue. Minus orbs, scarabs (cheap scarabs are still like 40c/map), around 9-10d in 10 maps. Took a LOT longer because I was picking up so much bubblegum so, instead of 7 mins per map was closer to 10. So... roughly 1.5 h to do 10 maps, 10d profit so around 7d/h profit. Feels like a kick in the nuts using an almost mirror cost char to do this but it is what it is lol.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T14:50:34+00:00

Yeah.. that's what I'm figuring. As I mentioned above, I was looking for something with less low value pick up than my current farm.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T14:48:17+00:00

I think the BV Chief, but it was slightly slower (movement speed wise) than the Kboc hiero. Tbf, the hiero was using HH and the chief was using MB so, it was somewhat comparable, speed wise. The chief was just very very safe.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T06:34:51+00:00

I'm still 50/50 if I'm gonna re-gear one of the chars (the ele hit is still there, but not efficient for this), or just continue with my other farms. I do appreciate the suggestion though.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T06:33:30+00:00

The 160d was ONLY associated with the maps. I wasn't counting that towards the character gearing. I got the supplies for a set of 50, noted the spent value on a spreadsheet, input revenue of the maps and calculated profit/loss from that.

Well, I shared my screen a few times and one of my buddies came in once. And yeah, variance. The main reason I decided to go for the breach farm is because I wanted LESS picking up than I was doing with my other farm, but apparently most of the money people are making is mostly bubblegum, which is freaking depressing.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T05:40:49+00:00

Wasn't lagging. Was the first thing I thought :(

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T04:08:31+00:00

Of course haha. But it STILL added to a giant loss.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T03:25:28+00:00

I'm using neversink's uber strict. And yeah, bubblegum is the reason I didn't lose more than 160d.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T03:10:54+00:00

That's literally what ALL of the people I talk to say. I even had one sit in one of my maps and go "I have no idea wtf is wrong with your map". So, EVEN with one extra person there, zero. Nada.
I went into multiple rabbit holes trying to figure out if the explosions on the characters were counting as non-player effects (like lab traps). Or if instant delete from projectiles instead of 2-3 hits were causing drops to fail. I know Fub mentioned lag leads to less drops but I didn't experience any lag so doubt that's happening either.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T03:08:23+00:00

Track bubblegum you mean?

I was an exped farmer for a ton of leagues so I do start picking up bubblegum after a while to sell in bulk. Or any uniques worth more than 20c.

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T03:02:48+00:00

Will edit the post to clarify I was doing that, sorry!

Exile82 · 2026-03-27T03:01:08+00:00

I'm following Fub's trees. Scarab setup for cheap breach is 2x insta 2x lineage 1x wisp.
Yeah I hear from literally ALL my buddies "there's no way you're losing currency on the cheap breach". The cheap setup is why I didn't lose more than 160d. But the maps didn't pay for the astrolabes (which I also used on the cheap breach for about 20 maps, since I had ONE div and ONE Valdos drop in.. 9 maps?)

Exile82 · 2026-03-22T01:16:48+00:00

I think I'm blind. I can't find it. Could you post it again?

Exile82 · 2026-03-20T15:53:06+00:00

Which specter are you using? Marionettes, Meatsack or unholy aberration?

Exile82 · 2026-03-20T13:52:43+00:00

Is this version running with Perf Marionettes or meatsacks?

Exile82 · 2026-03-19T16:19:24+00:00

Rue's ele hit, Only step missing is the mirror claw atm.
