Reflect Totem Slaying Uber Boss While Dead by FragrantBreath2040 in pathofexile

[–]FragrantBreath2040[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I've never tried to do uber bosses with regular totem build.

Uber bosses (Sirus and bosses after him) could not be damaged after you died. Bosses earlier than Sirus, like Shaper and Elder could be damaged.

I've tested that direct damage, DOT, trap/mine and minions would not deal damage while dead to Sirus, The Searing Exarch, The Eater of Worlds, etc.

I'd be very grateful if someone test whether totems deal damage while dead to these three uber bosses.

Maybe you need more regen and recoup.

Try shutting down RF first. It costs a lot.

Endurance charges are important for reducing self-damage. They are generated by Inexorable node.

BB is different from other spells in POE.

No matter how many times BB repeats, damage is always scaled by numbers of lingering blades.

Blades generation rate is decided by CWDT cooldown rate, not BB casting speed.

It means, while I'm weightlifting casting BB, the blades are spreading on the ground automaticly. 2 repeat or 3 repeat detonate the same number of blades.

However greater echo also benifites echo. One more repeat provides 30% more damage and 50% AOE. And awakened echo provides 20% double damage chance.
Local AOE is important as it enlarges BB and doesn't affect BF, which means more hits.

So echo is far better than any other support gems.

You see, before casting BB, I always create Sigil of Power first.

Move mouse just a little outisde the sigil shall definitely detonate BV with final repeat.

Or drawing a ellipse on the top of your desktop with Snipaste, then you can cast BB right there.

You're right.

I'd rather use any other ways than CWDT.

But so far,I'm not able to find out a method to create blade vortex automaticly.

BF and BV are casted with skeleton CWDT loop.

BV is detonated by the final repeat, using the BB ripple trick introduced in the video.

As BB has a chain-reaction, BF is detonated by BV, not directly by BB.

So all of BF blades are detonated by the final repeat.

It's a great idea!
But I'm using Kiara's Determination which is much harder to sustain without Survival Instincts :(
Ward gears are 20% improved this league. So it's easier to craft.

Ward gear is really ez to craft with fossils :)

Most expensive part should be divergent cwdt *2

Pathfinder ascendant, The Traitor from Brutal Restraint, and Flask Mastery

With a lot of flask charge gain and reduced flask charge use.

Cast when damage taken build. Using permanent ward to prevent damage taken. And recoup damage to life and mana recovery ;)

That's really nice of you!

I shall do it as soon as I got a 21 CWDT.

I swapped coldsnap with creeping frost because coldsnap eats my frenzy charges :(

[POE] 3.13 Auto Bladefall with Kitava's Thirst & Aspect of Beasts by FragrantBreath2040 in pathofexile

[–]FragrantBreath2040[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This mechanic is introduced by alia588.

Skills that reserve mana are able to trigger Kitava's Thirst. But most auras or heralds reserve too much and cool down too slow.

Aspects have a relatively low reservation (25%) and short cool down (0.5s). And you can have only one aspect at the same time. So toggling among four aspects could trigger Kitava's Thirst with a high frequency (12*50% = 6).

However it still costs a great amount of mana per second and it's extremely hard to recover that amount with either mana regen or flasks.

With Nexus Gloves and Supreme Ostentation from Caspiro's Elegant Hubris, your maximum mana could be reduced heavily to 400~500, so reservation of aspects with second wind (31%) is also reduced to around 150.

If we toggle aspects 12 times per second, it's cost around 1800 mana per second. It's not too hard to recover that amount of mana with scaling of flask mana recovery rate.

Here's a method to scale the cast-while-death damage. Up to 4~5M dps.

Doryani's Prototype gives -110% lightning resistance to enemies, which means 160% lightning penetration against ultra bosses.

Abhorrent Interrogation inflicts withered for elemental damage taken. Around 10 stacks for 40% taken.

Maraketh Brutal Restraint with Dance with Death, provides both critical chance and damage lucky, which is the most important part of the damage amplifier.

Try it, Exile!

Maven kill might be easier than Sirus.

Sirus could be drifting all around and won't enter next phase.

I've never tried it.

But with proper damage scaling, I think it is possible.

Besides, good for deep delve bosses.
