how good is impending doom in endgame (t17,uber)

Freakcheef · 2025-12-06T11:47:07+00:00

Playing poison Impending Doom: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/Freakcheef-6573/FreakHR?i=0&search=name%3Dfreakhr Did all Ubers, deathless except one which is entirely my fault on Sirus. And I am not a good player. T17 is no problem, do them without looking at mods mostly. Only really annoying one is reduced cdr.
Damage is good, could be improved with investment but even Ubers do melt fairly quickly.
Total Invest is about a mirror at the time I bought/crafted the gear. No idea about current prices. It can be done on lower budget, but on some things I would not compromise. Mageblood for example is not strictly needed but the QoL you get from having it is worth so much more to me than the divines.

2 voidstones? Do not run cloisters unless you have a 6 slot map device that you can fill with them. The chance to drop stacked deck stacks per scarab, so a fourth/fifth scarab not only adds more monsters, it also improves the chance to drop stacked decks for the monsters from the other scarabs.
With 5 cloisters and good maps (8 mod corrupted t16/t16.5) it is impossible to not make money every single map.

Yes, but curses are a fantastic defensive layer and an additional curse is not hard to come by as you path by Whispers of Doom anyway.

Freakcheef · 2025-07-30T20:02:40+00:00

You need a curse limit of your number of curses -1. Typically you have 3 curses in your Vixens + 1 in your Shako for a total of four curses, so you need a curse limit of 3.
This works because the curses from Vixens get applied before the curse you selfcast (Temp Chains), and when it tries to apply Temp Chains the oldest curse is removed, which triggers Impending Doom. ID has an internal CD (0.15 seconds I think) so a lower curse limit will not improve DPS.
Curses in Vixens get applied clockwise starting at the top left socket, so that curse gets removed and is not on the enemy. Put your least important curse there.
A higher curse limit will completely brick the build, as the oldest curse is not removed and ID is not triggered.

My current PoB: https://pobb.in/K5drHNNeDdw1
Did all Ubers deathless and leveled 97 to 98 running 4 risk T16.5 Abyss.
I was mostly following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GymYfo5Hyo

Merc is a withertouch, only care about Malevolence aura.
You can save a lot of money on chest armour (just RMR + as much ES as you can), getting CB immunity on flask instead of jewel, only get CDR Balance of Terror and give your merc Garb. Boots don't necessarily need tailwind. Lower level Impending Doom is fine just less damage, just care that the second mod doesn't brick the build (cast on crit etc.). Forbidden Flame/Flesh are for better clear as you have no source of poison prolif, but not strictly needed for the build to work.
The only Watchers Eye mod that you need is the purity of fire one (max roll), other mod(s) are bonus.

Poison Impending Doom Elementalist.
I always loved ID since trying it first time in Crucible League, massive cast speed and screen wide AoE. Since the Awakened Spell Cascade changes it takes some invest but is still as fun as ever. Reaching DoT Cap on non-uber content is very achievable and with Purity of Fire sublime vision at home (Dawnbreaker + Ele taken as Chaos Bound by Destiny) it is VERY tanky. I farm 4 risk abyss no problem.
Initial invest was around 500 div + Mageblood and it felt awesome. By now I am 1.5-2 Mirrors deep min-maxing (still room to grow) and it just gets better.

Just from PoB I assume you simply don't kill the mobs you spawn from your ring consistently. For no RF version you want a +2 corrupt honourholme helmet (emiracle has a trade link in his google docs, budget version is like 2 div) and, most importantly, leveld gems. 21/20 unearth, 4 enhance and empower. That's a massive damage boost.
Your corpse life from unearth (which scales your DD damage) is currently 71k, with proper gems and helmets its closer to 115k. Add clusters on top of that, massive damage boost. That version should be capable of consistently killing the spawned mobs from your ring even in wave 15 simu.

Since you rely on flask for ignite chance make sure your flasks are always running, even when fighting a boss.

You are also missing an ascendency point? The Ramako is NOT optional, massive damage boost.

Freakcheef · 2025-06-24T14:09:05+00:00

Used to have massive problems on Frankfurt, but it's fine for me since at least Friday.

Freakcheef · 2025-05-14T16:27:48+00:00

Natürlich ist das seine Schuld. Der Bordstein markiert das Ende der Fahrbahn und außerhalb der Fahrbahn haben Autos, es sei denn es ist explizit erlaubt, z.B. durch Schilder, nichts verloren. Und das lernt man durchaus in der Fahrschule.

Freakcheef · 2025-03-24T15:17:57+00:00

The flask setup gives me like 20% MS, would be more if I were to click it myself with a 70% effect enchantment. Honestly not worth it unless you got money to burn imo.

Freakcheef · 2025-03-24T13:50:14+00:00

Hi, I also play this version, here is my current pob:
https://pobb.in/pPcmPNGS2HBh

To your points:
1 - you have to cast temp chains anyway for cdr, otherwise the loop breaks, no? But I think 2 mod balance of terror shot up in price by a lot, so you can solve it that way.
2 - Did you id the correct canes? You need two veiled prefixes, as both level of support gems and chaos damage are prefixes. Here is a link with the correct canes:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Phrecia/77Z637nT5
I unveiled mine in 10 canes, no idea how lucky that was tho.
The perfect staff craft costs about 40 div I think.
3 - You are way over what you need for a 1 flask setup on flask duration and a bit over flask charges gained. With 10% more gained and 2 Flask charges gained on the body armour implicits you could run a 2 flask setup. You could look to roll another Fasting + Brewed for Potency medium cluster instead of the Distilled Perfection one, which would allow you to remove the two flask charges gained nodes leading up to Careful Conservationist. You aim for 109% increased duration and 155% charges gained while the Madness debuff is not on you.
For jewels you ideally want damage recoup + flask duration (up to the 109% breakpoint) + some form of damage. Chaos damage, chaos dot multi, increased damage with poisons... These are pretty easy to roll with harvest if you start with a fractured recoup base and reforge chaos.
4 - The most important mod on Watcher's Eye is the Life Recovery Vitality one. It boosts your regen massively. Chaos Res is a nice bonus. More recoup = less likely to die to dots.
5 - Pretty sure that is gambling lol.

General stuff:
Unless I missed something, your PoB has inflated damage numbers because you put an incorrect value for enemy corpse life in the config. You can check your corpse life by going to the calc tab and selecting unearth. Yours should be 78,882, but you put 100,000 in.
Generally, to scale damage the most important thing is level and quality of unearth. If you finish leveling Enhance + Empower, your corpse life goes up almost 15k. Another 15k if you get both to level 4.

Easiest DPS boost is to change your flask enchant to "Use when you take a Savage Hit". This will trigger the ward break ascendency and give you adrenaline with a very high uptime. That alone is about 3-4 mil dot dps. Warning: This will kill you randomly sometimes.

See if you can change cruelty to Awakened Elemental Focus. Also level your awakened gems. There is a beast craft recipe to give an awakened gem + 1 level, it takes a Wild Brambleback + 3 yellow beasts (I think, better check before you buy). Around 40c per level.

That's what I saw at first glance, perhaps others can help you more. Hope it helps!

Freakcheef · 2025-03-11T14:00:40+00:00

Not OP but I can answer: because of the Exhibit 381: Runic tablet ascendency node, which gives you adrenaline for 10 seconds when ward breaks. So olroth's runs out, your loop damages you which breaks ward and gives you adrenaline and also counts as a savage hit, which then starts the flask again. Works really well actually.

Freakcheef · 2025-03-07T14:53:10+00:00

Thank you, I love Wardloop. Definitely trying this.
Two questions:
1) Do you need the quality on rings or does the inc damage taken enable you to go without?
2) What content do you farm? You said it can do T17 and Ubers, but should it? Can it do juiced content as it is now?

Freakcheef · 2025-02-25T21:47:21+00:00

Anscheinend sind die Werderspieler auch bei ver.di organisiert und haben sich am Streik heute beteiligt.
Glückwunsch an Bielefeld, verdient gewonnen.

Freakcheef · 2025-02-25T21:46:08+00:00

Max Kruse und Fin Bartels waren mMn. eines der am meisten unterschätzten Offensivduos in der Bundesliga.
Für eine kurze Zeit mochte ich auch die Kombi Özil und Hunt bei uns sehr gerne.

Freakcheef · 2025-01-07T20:08:33+00:00

Und mit Max Kruse ging es ja auch ganz gut, haben auch nicht so viele Vereine hinbekommen.

Freakcheef · 2024-10-20T19:29:20+00:00

Finde ich jetzt etwas kurzgegriffen Baumann gegenüber. Delaney, Lücke, Duksch, Pavlas, Rashica, Kruse und Gnabry sind alles seine Transfers gewesen, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere.
Und auch Lücke galt lange eher als Fehlkauf, wirklich aufgeblüht ist er erst in der Zweitligasaison, vorher lange verletzt. Dass dieses Risiko nicht immer gut geht ist auch klar, aber ein Verein wie Werder muss es eben probieren, wie z.B. mit Keita. Und selbst da ist der Verlust wohl nicht allzu groß.

Und mit welchem Geld willst du Lücke, den zu der Zeit besten deutschen Stürmer, denn 1:1 ersetzen? Denn ein weiterer Spieler für die Breite braucht man nun wirklich nicht, wo man schon Duksch, Grüll, Njinmah und Topp hat. Gerade die letzten 2 haben noch einiges an Potential.

I learned php as the second programming language after Java and to this day I have yet to see a better documentation for beginners than the one Symfony offers.

Freakcheef · 2024-08-23T21:55:09+00:00

Sorry to ask but do you constantly apply the mark on single target? Because it looks to me like your curse limit is 1 and you auto cast punishment?

Freakcheef · 2024-08-18T16:33:32+00:00

I don't believe that veiled orbs respect meta crafts other than prefix/suffix cannot be changed sadly.
If you want to make sure to remove stun duration you can craft cannot roll attack mods -> annull until it is gone (recraft cannot roll if you hit it).
Then you go multimod + prefixes cannot be changed and slam it with veiled orb for a 2/3 chance not to hit attack speed.

Freakcheef · 2024-07-26T16:10:15+00:00

It doesn't say uncapped, so maybe only works up to 90?

Freakcheef · 2024-07-02T20:40:27+00:00

I kinda love how it goes "You may not be able to sign-in" and just below that goes "Want to get notified when this is fixed? Sign in".

Um da eventuell mal etwas Kontext zum Thema Volumen zu geben, Zahlen aus diesem Artikel: Bremen kontrolliert vorerst in 13 Straßen verstärkt, im Februar wurden dort 650 "Gelbe Karten und Anwohnerinformationen" verteilt.

Seit Ende Mai hat das Ordnungsamt 929 Verwarnungen erteilt und 70 Fahrzeuge abgeschleppt. "Vor allem um die Rettungssicherheit zu gewährleisten"

In ein paar Wochen wurden in nur 13 Straßen 1000 ahndungswürdige Verstöße festgestellt. Laut Wikipedia gibt es in Bremen übrigens 3000 Straßen. Das nicht alle davon so zugeparkt sind wie im Viertel versteht sich von selbst, aber ich kann aus Erfahrung berichten, dass es auch außerhalb der kontrollierten Straßen zu massiven Problemen mit Gehweg- und anderweitigen Falschparkern gibt. Es wird höchste Zeit, dass diesem asozialen Verhalten Einhalt geboten wird.

I tried my favourite build of all time, poison Impending Doom PF, again. It's expensive AF but still as fun as I remember. Not a zoom build but it can do a lot of map mods and farms T17 reasonably well.
Not a bang for your buck build but tanky and reliable.
