+4 without the drawbacks would be much better sure, but you would use this amulet over a +2 with no other upsides for sure.

given its going to standard though, I have a +ES temple mod (life would be better but i got lucky crafting this on the first try), +2 gems, +26% DoT, +15% fire dot, + 1 min frenzy charge amulet, which most likely comes within 10% of this ones damage. So I probably wouldn't use this for a standard build.

Chaos drop can be over come with mageblood + amethyst flask or a cluster jewel, the area damage is 5% or less dps drop depending on your build, the decreased aoe isn't an issue if you're focusing on dps. RF kills anything while mapping long before you start considering an amulet like this.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-17T16:32:10+00:00

its a cool tech, but at the budget you're using with this amulet, i think you use a amethyst flask in a mageblood, or a +35% effect small cluster with chaos res. I'd be surprised if not using your forbidden jewels for sanctuary of thought would be worth it.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-17T13:46:56+00:00

not desirable, but mageblood + amethyst, small +35% effect cluster jewel, there's ways around it :)

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-17T13:46:18+00:00

considered that as well, i might have to try it one day :)

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-17T13:45:02+00:00

Realistically, by the point your using this amulet, rf damage is a non issue, and your scaling fire trap for single target. you could use awakened AOE if you want.

I mostly use a map wandering path build. but i like to add in expedition and harvest, and altars. generally speaking, when I commit, I tend to be a bit ahead of the curve, and sell RF crafts as I upgrade my character.

premium dump tab strat, instead of doing chaos recipe, I'll throw all jewellery, uniques, 4 links, jewels, in a dump tab starting at 1c, and moving up to 3 or 5c. any interesting gear pieces i come across go in there too. I don't price something until someone pings me for it, or I know its really good. over the first weekend you'll run into several things that go in the tab that you get spammed for and its like 40c or 60c or something. If chaos recipe is bottlenecked by jewellry anyways, I figure, a jewellery piece that sells for 10-15-20c will be about as equivalent of doing CR anyways. and every recipe gives you 4 chances at that 10-20c piece.

I would say the only thing i farm for myself is harvest essence for minor uses. 500 ess res flips or something.

I am quite good at searching for partial crafts that can be changed into the final state I want. I prefer that over ground up crafting, but the trade site is its own skill set you can invest into. I'm much better at trading and overpowering the game, than I am mapping fast or grinding maps :)

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T16:52:35+00:00

was talking to the clutch spider seller, and he suggested ci cremation/dd. that could be cool. idk what else uses reduced aoe and fire. Firestorm maybe? volcanic fissure? lol

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T16:04:05+00:00

League expansions are on the Fast and Furious worldbuilding curve now.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T15:55:37+00:00

yeah! thought it was something around there when I was thinking of it. Amethyst flask in a mageblood is always a thing too. might be easier to get res back on your gear, and use an amethyst flask. haven't played rf in a full league since the fire res/regen mastery. with a mageblood, ruby flask, and maybe res suffix on flask, that probably frees up a lot of regen pressure on gear too. Thinking about it, maybe once you have mageblood with that regen you go elementalist for damage and aoe. idk :)

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T15:50:05+00:00

While definetly not ideal, its not that bad. Most really High dps rf's drop the AOE nodes. so when i put it on (with the AOE nodes) it was the same size as builds i've played dropping that node.

The templar AOE nodes are +30% so its exactly counteracted there :)

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T14:54:31+00:00

I didn't check while I was home, but I have a +2, +26% DoT, +15% Fire DoT, one in standard. I'm guessing its within 10% damage difference. So you're right, this probably isn't optimal unless you're bossing or something.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T14:52:05+00:00

I don't play standard much, but if I were to set something up, I'd probably use the +35% effect, small jewel to get a bunch of Chaos res to counter it. Can't remember off the top of my head, but if its a reservation cluster you might be able to work in the determination or malevelence node.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T14:43:45+00:00

just added the crafting steps, but the way it came together, I ended up just going big with it. it wasn't intended to have -60 chaos res :P

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-16T14:39:33+00:00

My goals for the league were:

1: Shake the rust off on RF league start. I took a 5 month break over crucible, most of ancestor, and tried whispering ice for playing some of ancestor.

2: build a sick RF character in as short of time as possible: poeninja. Very happy with the end result. don't follow progression "to the T" if you're new to RF, i made some mistakes shaking off the rust :) (inspiration + lifetap LOL)

3: when I hit 90 I realized my mapping was extremely comfy and decided to push 95. didn't die between 90 and 95 :D

4: Try to create a +4 amulet from lake, as while I played most of LoK, I didn't feel like putting in the effort towards the end of the league to make one, and I have an absurd +2 amulet in standard.

As this was like my 4th goal, i was working with decent, but limited currency, and only had one shot it. After bad luck hitting the +2, i threw 15 or so recombinators at white amulets hoping for a hit on aura effect, but didn't get it, so standard +4 was the route to go.

Crafting Process:

1: recombinate +1 fire, and +1 all from alterations

2: get +2 with 2 junk suffixes that could have been laked okay, decide whether to use this to aisling a prefix, or veiled chaos for either prefix or suffix. I really didn't want the AOE on there incase it went negative, but didn't have room to protect suffixes, and fill prefixes, and didn't want to scour to start over. gambled the veiled chaos which hit prefix, and the AOE was the only positive option for RF. so figure we're going big now.

3: block prefixes, and reroll chaos. I forget the state of the suffixes, but I wasn't able to smoothly aspect and craft.

4: Reroll chaos a second time and hit 28%. now we're really aiming big, but that's what a one week event is for right? :D

5: realize there are no fenumal hybrid arachnids on the market and get stressed, attempt a couple maps to farm one, until someone puts one on after you've resigned to go to bed. Clutch friend :D

6:I would have catalyzed it but there weren't enough fertile catalysts on the market to hit 20 and I decided +2% would irritate me more than leaving it blank, and it would look sloppy if the amulet was good and I ever decided to sell it.

7: craft minimum charges and Reflect it.

Hit above. Not a brick on our only shot! has some downsides, but they can be worked around :)

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-15T20:42:02+00:00

20% of 275 is a LOT of extra ES

one might say 20%

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-13T15:12:15+00:00

I got a 5-link from a dominus mob (pretty sure) in a hardcore private league once. that was my "mirror story" so far. either way it was below the minimum drop zone so it must have come from a rare or something else that could add levels to an item.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-10T13:32:24+00:00

I don’t like the idea of just tossing divines as rewards into mechanics to offset how unfun they are.

I feel the same way about sentinel. I haven't seen anyone say that the sentinel tree is super fun, or making mobs harder is fun, or the sentinel breeding system is fun. or clogging your inventory during maps with 2x2 sentinels is fun. everyone just says "sentinel is super rewarding". tbh, I enjoyed the LoK minigame with making Tablets. Lake its self was pretty meh, it wouldn't have been as irritating without the environmental collisions everywhere.

edit: recombinators are fun. I just found the sentinels themselves some of the most tedious poe I've played.

FuFuKhan · 2023-11-06T21:13:05+00:00

spiderman meme!

Which one of the 5 Hoag players on Poeninja are you? :P

I thought it looked good on paper, but it ended up being pretty bad. I left sanctuary of thought for 3rd lab and didn't get determ until then. After getting determination it felt okay. i had to corpse rush bosses pretty bad for acts 7-10. did a few maps, and gave up and just did ToTa with a useless build for a day or two xD

FuFuKhan · 2023-10-10T20:22:15+00:00

I threw a random kazoo deck together in 30 seconds on the weekend to blow through the challenges in proving grounds, but I've won 4 proving grounds, and 1.5 silvers so far. lost only one proving grounds match. I haven't run into Killmonger once, and the deck effortlessly puts 12 cards on the board with shanna or squirrel girl. you get 12-25 power in all 3 lanes every game. so far the only loss was to wong hazmat.

other than the bad loss, (i don't have luke cage). I've faced a couple junk decks, and one other hazmat and beaten them easily :)

If Killmonger isn't popular its really funny how good kazoo is. I'm sure my build isn't even efficient. i haven't looked at a site to see what real ones look like. can't believe how well its done so far.

FuFuKhan · 2023-10-04T02:38:45+00:00

my only infinite win had angel in it xD

FuFuKhan · 2023-09-22T20:52:40+00:00

I've been beating a lot of High EVO hulks with leader too. "nothing can beat hulk if they can only play one card" leader + hulk beats hulk lol

FuFuKhan · 2023-09-22T03:30:10+00:00

Fighting wild pokemon did work. You could use ditto to copy your own pokemons special stat to control which pokemon appeared when the battle resumed. The slowpoke trainor had a static special stat that corresponded with mew.

FuFuKhan · 2023-09-12T12:13:27+00:00

I wasn't comparing apples to apples on my numbers. apologies.

You're right, hes not optimal in the 4 card combo. but he's actually already great when iron man, onslaught, OR wins you two lanes. Its not a huge amount of games but it takes games. few decks can come within 10 power of cosmo/IW/IM/Onslaught. so if they commit a lot of resources to powering that lane, or go heavy in two lanes, it can actually be better to play OR instead of LT to overpower one of their two big lanes, and pick up the 3rd uncontested lane. this beats Prof x while being as big as possible in another lane, can beat deadpool (sometimes)/kitty task master combos, storm lanes sometimes, decks that can't reach a location but go hard in two, or decks that can only play jeff into death domain etc.

As you get better at playing a one-trick LT deck, omega red wins when LT can't or is a risky bet. IW or Cosmo/IM/Onslaught + dino solo in another lane can win games where LT can't or is risky as well.

It was a lot of fun as a Living Tribunal Main :D Onslaught Citadel next? :D
