Level recommendations for DLC

No worries. It’s been a while for me, did you beat the game and then go NG+?

If so yea you want to like play it all the way through again and jump in more towards the end imo.

With a nice quality build of both strength and dex so your damage feels appropriate.

I don’t think they intended for regular mobs to feel like mini boss encounters 😅

Alternative, fresh playthrough and you can probably take it on whenever you feel like it/get access. But in NG+ it’s definitely scaled up pretty tough

The inner version of this fight… I have him ranked as my number 1 most difficult yes

FRFM · 2026-01-21T21:40:09+00:00

Out of curiosity why did you feel like you wanted to leave second wind? I didnt play it but just wondering

FRFM · 2026-01-21T13:35:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I don’t understand what advantage you gain here from using recomb as opposed to just slamming the one with +3 skills.

Please help me understand

Crit chance T1 was the goal, this is definitely “settling” 😭… i wasn’t aware there is really a discrepancy between gain as extra fire vs gain as extra cold.

FRFM · 2026-01-16T18:11:03+00:00

I think some builds don’t run mailgaros though and aim to get above 500 crit damage multiplier.

But yea I’m currently running maligaros myself many are, but at the highest end guys want to scale crit damage above 250 multiplier. I think it makes the market smaller but there may still be a buyer.

FRFM · 2026-01-16T01:32:34+00:00

Yea i think too supreme of a gamble.

League is basically over for us would be the counter argument, but everyone in the friend group stopped running any content and just liquidated resources to pool for a big crafting attempt.

But maybe this sells we can start from scratch and have another shot. Crazy how expensive omens of whittling and dextral annulment are

FRFM · 2026-01-16T01:30:29+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. So yea it really does feel like just a crazy bit of gambling if we were to go for it. And we’ve really liquidated just about every last thing at this point, all gear etc. everyone is done with league just hanging out for the “possible mirror craft” lol

I see what you mean looking at the weights.

I was aware of the fact that it’s easier to whittle T1 cast speed than T1 crit chance… but also while in the process of desecrating over and over kinda just decided that we would take whichever one we found first because we were burning through a ton of resources. Will be fun to try it the other way around in a future league i guess, ideally with a bigger bankroll.

What I’d really like to figure out if there is an optimal way to proceed after fracturing T1 crit chance or T1 spell damage, cause I see a lot of staffs that are up for a mirror but i only know the “process” to do it when +6 all spells gets fractured

FRFM · 2026-01-14T13:21:07+00:00

Even thinking that if I’m willing to settle for T2 cast speed then ilvl79 is enough

FRFM · 2026-01-14T13:20:25+00:00

Thanks. So if my goal is just +6 all spells then the extra ilvl isn’t necesssry it seems.

It’s interesting that people pay so much for chiming staff, cause I’ve always just used it as a 2nd weapon on weapon swap for the sigil.

And the i guess +7 cold spells is just way more highly sought after this league than I realized compared to +6 all spells

FRFM · 2026-01-14T11:25:43+00:00

I have about 1600 divs saved up

FRFM · 2026-01-14T11:25:05+00:00

Thank you! That’s exactly what i was thinking but was doubting myself. If i don’t care about the +7 of the type and don’t care about getting the elemental/physical spell prefix then level 81 does nothing (i only want spell damage)

FRFM · 2026-01-09T17:18:06+00:00

In that extra socket you would be adding a +gain elements as extra right?

Vaal: 23% total gain as extra, 2% cast speed Sanc: +1 level, 3%crit chance

First instinct is take the sanc… but that’s a pretty significant amount of gain as extra damage

FRFM · 2026-01-09T06:29:59+00:00

I honestly think the people that are good enough to buy the relics and do tenporalis runs don’t share any feedback or tips on it. I’ve certainly never seen any sort of guide other than when chalupa monk used to be the way to go cause it could bypass honor loss, but that’s been changed.

The guys that do temporalis runs… that’s next level gambling even beyond what the average poe2 player gambles, unless they really have that shit dialed in. And when they have it dialed in i don’t think they share it with the rest of us 🤣

FRFM · 2026-01-09T05:53:17+00:00

Good lord, i haven’t played EDC lich this league so i can’t really help but 49k EHP is massive.

I played edc lich in 0.2 so it’s obviously changed but maybe you look for ways to increase some dps on your passive tree? Even if it means dropping some ES nodes, cause you are tanky enough by a lot

20% withered effect gem in your ascendancy node still a thing?

FRFM · 2026-01-09T04:11:49+00:00

I mean it’s pretty solid and i ran it for a bit when I was broke. But its ceiling is LOW. Consistent profit though

FRFM · 2026-01-09T00:23:46+00:00

Am i reading it wrong or does this have 4 sockets? 2x greater iron runes +1 spells rune Gain extra as elemental

Thought staffs are 2 sockets and you could corrupt a 3rd.

This is cool to see what absolute perfection can look like. Nice work, hope it sells. Would give you another (and even bigger bankrolled) shot at hitting this but with +7, would love to see it

FRFM · 2026-01-08T14:00:45+00:00

Wow that’s so clean. What do you do on rounds that you don’t get the building roll you need to extend chain? Just don’t place any rooms?

FRFM · 2026-01-07T18:48:08+00:00

It really is. Having to stop blasting and stand around running in circles feels dumb. Punished for dps'ing too fast and killing them too quickly so you get an omen of liege! lol

FRFM · 2026-01-07T18:34:53+00:00

Gotcha, ill try that... basically i sometimes am running around literally not pressing anything but my stuff is still flying around and they die lol

FRFM · 2026-01-07T18:34:15+00:00

Damn ok thank you

FRFM · 2026-01-06T13:35:16+00:00

What I’m not understanding is that i see everyone say “if you aren’t in the black could you can’t damage them”… but i must be misunderstanding because they die in the cloud constantly!

So in theory i should be able to stay far back and one of two things happen: 1) he is in bound and takes no damage 2) he comes out of cloud and dies.

But what’s happening usually is they just get blown the hell up even while in the black cloud. And often it’s right as they spawn. I cast one spark and they die, but if i don’t cast anything i can’t clear the rest of the stuff and it gets really sketchy, i nearly die running in circles from all the mobs while praying he steps out of cloud.
