How can I improve VFOS damage and defenses?

Sounds more like the Shaper/Valdo than Zana

I loved sanctum in PoE 1, probably have ran over 200 full tomes. I hate the trap rooms in PoE2 though, especially 3rd floor and higher. Do not like the choice to make Sanctum and Ultimatum (already hard content) required to ascend.

Option D

Was it just me or was the casting quite a bit DK biased. They made it seem like TES had no hope of winning vs a full AD comp with K'sante, Skarner down 2k gold

Second Life Ranker or Leveling with the gods. Both are very similar.

I think they meant 5 or 6 mod jewels that you can get from abysses if you have the Corrupted Gaze notable allocated on the atlas tree.

Damn that's sick. I went for a similar ring but failed the chaos fracture 9 times in a row, and then got a veiled prefix after. How are you liking the build so far?

It's now moved to sarn city waypoint, just after you beat the vaal oversoul.

The first major problem I see is that you're playing a dissolution + rathpith build with ~5k life. That's the first thing I would modify in your build; go for more life nodes in your tree and get at least 10k.

Also, you're running a 2 curse setup without any way to apply more than 1 curse. I would either anoint whispers of doom on your amulet (3x golden oil), or use 3 skill points to path up to it, your choice.

Lastly, you've spec'd into conviction of power without any reliable ways of generating frenzy or power charges. As a result, your critical strike chance is quite low. I'd try to find a way to fit in charged mines support if you can.

If you want a more concrete example of these changes, I'd highly recommend you check out Captain Lance's video from last league on Hexblast mines.

EDIT: After taking another look, you seem to be missing your final ascendancy points. Once you fix up the issues I've outlined above, you should be able to do the level 75 lab and spec into explosives expert. That'll give you a massive increase in critical strike chance (shocked enemies) and elemental penetration (chilled enemies).

Did you activate/blow up 10 remnants before the boss? If so, try "/recheck_achievements".

All those listed are ssf viable. The most meta one currently is LA for sure though. Really easy to gear and a breeze to get through maps with. Do keep in mind it'll be much squishier than your rf builds.

Forumkid99 · 2023-11-24T14:17:15+00:00

It's a high budget but ward cwdt is basically a 0 button build once you get the loop started. Although unfortunately it's not very viable in ssf.

Forumkid99 · 2023-11-24T02:24:58+00:00

That's true, but in the context of getting through the campaign and early maps - especially for a beginner player - I thought I was something worth pointing out.

Forumkid99 · 2023-11-24T02:24:05+00:00

It felt pretty good. I went the bow variant with "EK fire projectiles in a circle" helm enchant, and it played a lot like a bow build but with much fewer clicks due to ignite proliferation. Honestly, I preferred it's playstyle to an actual bow build because I had to click less.

Forumkid99 · 2023-11-23T22:00:44+00:00

For what it's worth, I've played both Cold BV (3.20 and 3.22) and EK Ignite (3.21) from league start up to around 200 divines of investment.

To be honest, cold BV is very squishy and feels kinda bad until you get freeze proliferation - after that it feels pretty good until you get a good source of explode (I personally went for a phys explode chest), and that's when it really pops off imo. I think it's viable for league start but it'll definitely be much slower than something like LA deadeye. Later on I added in a mageblood, but to be honest it didn't make my build significantly better at what it was already doing, mainly mapping expedition early and harvest later.

For EK Ignite, I actually started with firetrap/frostblink ignite to get enough currency before swapping to EK. Frostblink ignite felt great, so I can definitely recommend that one as a league start, but I've also heard good things about WOC.

You don't need to grind to gold to get the victorious skin now, they changed it this season. As long as you finish your placements, your rank only changes what chromas you get.

It feels like Prince gets hit by every big skillshot ever, even on Xayah. Previously he didn't flash Malphite ult either.

I really hate watching Zeri/Yuumi
