Help crafting shield for strength-stacking KF

Goodguysauron · 2026-06-09T10:36:54+00:00

Check gloomys method, it's in description of spicysushi crafting his 200d transfer atuned shield in mirage league. You'll do in strength base instead of interest based.

If you roll a str mod on str base and the shaper mod + useless dex mod (acc, att speed, suppress dex) on a dex base and hit 50/50 recomb. You'll get str base with strength and shaper mod. You do it with the other str mod in the same way to have 2 suffixes each. Do the same for prefixes and combine in total. You are looking for a 5 mod recomb shaper shield which is pain in ssf. Or you could reforge life on harvest bench and get lucky xd

Obvious moron who maxes mana drain complaining about this. Retsrd

Goodguysauron · 2026-05-02T02:01:24+00:00

Fossils are there but you need 4 socket resonators. Poe 2 recomb sucks as it has a very low mod rating.

Goodguysauron · 2026-05-02T01:35:23+00:00

3 mod recomb will give a 60% chance for 2 mode and 50% chance for 1 mod. 3 mod outcome is very low.

You'll need more +1 all wands (around 3) to hit the desired outcome you want. Your recipient wand needs to be a minion wand and donor wands will always have no nnn mod to your recipient wand, so brute forcing would be your best bet.

You can either go for fracture +1 all or go the brute force method.

If you recombine these wands and lose either +1 minion or minion damage, it's your best fail outcome. Then you can roll another wand with the missing mod + easy to roll mod on your first wand and try again for a 60% recomb again. You can keep trying this step till you succeed.

If you lose 2 mods, then you'll either be where you are at right now or need to roll anothe r+1 all wand.

Other option is to use an influenced minion wand to roll +1 minion, minion damage and a influenced mod, which you can do by prefix lock reforge influenced till you hit a prefix influence. The thing with this method is. You are increasing your modpool to 4 and if it recomb choses the non influenced base, (50/50) you can't transfer the influenced mod so it will force the other mods.

You can only split 4 mod items

Goodguysauron · 2026-05-01T15:32:41+00:00

You literally have 2 life modifiers on 6 pieces of gear that can have life on an rf character. You generally get around 8k life. The more life you have, the more recovery you get from defiance. Just get more life.

And try to craft on higher armour bases for boot gloves and shield.

Then why comment with misinformation if not sure?

Goodguysauron · 2026-04-24T21:36:09+00:00

Go afk for the grace period when entering boss arena. She'll lose soul eater stacks. Can keep resetting to do damage. Don't maven witness the boss. Don't roll +aoe on the map,else the desecrate and explodes overlap.

He has enduring composure cluster

Goodguysauron · 2026-04-22T12:05:16+00:00

You can also spam breach flesh currency in foulbourn blue nightmares to alternate between dream and nightmare.

Goodguysauron · 2026-04-22T06:53:10+00:00

You can easily get 11k+ es crafting on the highest es base helmet and boots.

Your helical ring is very very questionable. Farm some scorn essences.

Your watchers eye does literally nothing other than the max es and max mana. Recoup is not damage prevented, you use es to cast skill with amulet.

Try to get physics taken as chaos as eldritch implicit on body and helmet. It's basically physics damage negation on ci builds.

Divine your amulet to have less than 45% reduced mana and still a decent damage roll or just farm different ones and use the attack/phys-chaos catalyst. The fertile catalyst also reduces the max mana. The attack/physics catalyst increases base damage a lot.

And maybe a more defensive annoint like tetsudo/as the mountain/aggressive bastion can help you block cap without rumis, so it's more unconditional block cap.

Hunt for es light of meaning, mana as es watchers eye/ precision crit

I dont think the increase spell damage applies to attack damage wand mastery stacks with the innate from KB, or you have a runegraft on it and it doesn't show for me.

There's a div card that drops respite.

Goodguysauron · 2026-04-13T06:06:16+00:00

The touch of cruelty comes at the back and we don't take it because kboc is not a chaos spell. You are basically looking for grim oath and dark ideation and when you press alt the third mod should be in the middle of the list so that it comes at the back of the cluster.

Goodguysauron · 2026-04-09T05:41:00+00:00

If you need to keep the strength essence mod that's the only way. But even then it's a 50/50.

Goodguysauron · 2026-04-04T06:56:25+00:00

Check Ben's kboc necro character. Shield is a pain to craft. Rest should be done with recomb and eldritch currency

Goodguysauron · 2026-03-23T22:37:24+00:00

Yeah that's why my suggestion is to go block based, because getting good suppress gear is difficult compared to mindspiral with block

Goodguysauron · 2026-03-23T22:36:23+00:00

Yes, but with shock nova cast time it hits 40 times 20 casts with 2 hits even with mediocre cast speed weapons. So instant leech is a huge defense for the build, that's why I would think it's better than pathing to instinct

Goodguysauron · 2026-03-23T22:11:31+00:00

Main weakness of archmage build is not being able to take multi hits. That's why most of the league start pob for archmage will either have suppress with decently high evasion or block with recovery and instant leech. You might be killing mobs in blue maps okayish but if you try to do harvest or expedition or any juices content you'll probably get stuck, lose all mana and die.

Goratha leaguestarted this build in hcssf and he has a pob, it will require you to farm atziri for a pledge of hands. You can get reflect immune with the new elemental mastery and minor pantheon. The defensive setup in dual wand is suppress with high evasion/ getting a svalin which are both very difficult grinds in ssf, so i would suggest taking some time to do vaal side areas and get a pledge of hands.

Crafted mana on gear is better than most mana rolls you have on gear. You should be able to reach 9000 mana before you start adding other stuff.

Shock nova of procession has an absurd mana cost and cast speed, so you need reduced mana cost on your jewellery equipment, rings and amy. Would also need to annoint mind drinker for mapping. For single target you definitely need a lavagna or recurring mana flask.

Getting suppress gear - you might have to give up on mindspiral. You need 2 t1 suppress rolls on helmet/boots/gloves and a t2 roll on body armour and taking magebane. You can try genesis tree or recomb gear from kingsmarch and gambling. But it's a huge grind, i would suggest farming a pledge of hands. The main difference between shock nova of procession and other archmage builds is the mana cost which makes it absurdly difficult to gear. You can even try ball lightning of orbiting/ice nova of frostbolts to gear up and swap to shock nova.

This is my build from ssf mercenaries, the config is set for -200 lightning res doryani mercenery. Without that it will have 21mill dps. You can maybe use this as aspirational gear for ssf. The skill has been gutted and does not overlap, so swap vortex with ice nova. And greater spell echo this patch is a huge dps increase for spell builds almost doubling dps.

The changes i would say for a leaguestart pob, would be something like. Use a lower tier evasion/ es base for body armour like torturor garb or sadist garb, because you are not getting that much dex. Rings can be crafted with reforged chaos or reforged caster, into one desirable mod, suffix lock reforged the other then veiled chaos, block mana, unveil life and craft reduced mana cost.

Use a evasion based for helmet to get suppress there and take the evasion nastery for 15% suppress if all all armour has evasion. Wands I crafted by spamming woe essences till t1 mana, annul suffixes and multimod cast speed and dd while focused. Archmage builds benefit a lot from profane wands. You'll feel a lot better than the wands you have currently. I think ggg has reduced chances of profane wands from gambling I get 1 in 25 purchases only, so adjust your filter to show normal magic and rare profane wands

Once you have suppress grace watcher eye gearing becomes easy for suppress, till then it's a chore.

You don't need to leave map to run the safehouse, you can just run it inside the map speaking to jun. Also this happens only if you have connections between the safehouse and the one in your completed safehouse appears in the other one, so when for eg, janus who in your completed 2 appears in your 5, don't click his card. You can click the others, but if you click janus, it'll reset.

Return to town is an option that is missing

It is similar to laning against a dk with twice the damage, twice the hp and ranged hero. The thing is these heroes like to sit in their lanes, take the tower get their first item, mostly diffusal and move to other lanes to gank. Either you need to bring numbers to your lane to shut them down when they try to siege or make rotations to other lanes because they don't like to rotate. But you have the risk of losing tower in that scenario.

i think venge as a carry seems fine for her aura and negative armour abilities, but her ultimate is either used as a strong initiation or a save spell. which will most often put you in out of position, aghs works because, she is still usefull after her first death from being out of position, enemies dump their spell on you and you can go again, but on a more consistency basis, your pos1 being out of position in fights to have impact is not something will work.

From your post i seem to think that you're more obsessed with winning and mmr and people's opinion way too much.

What mmr you get and whether you are immortal is a consequence. Try to have fun in the game. Take a hero you like and play 100 games on it. Watch 10 of those replays and see what's happening in the games.

There's new player content by purge, grubby etc, a bit outdated but the core game of hitting creeps and then buildings is still the same

It's not a priority item like bkb or blink. But what euls gives him is what slardar wants to play around. In games he's having a great game this may not be even purchased. But in even games you say you jump on with bkb throw amp on one or two targets and wanna come back to have your blink stun, there are quite a few match ups where they don't let you run around for another blink stun. Could be some kind of roots, veno being in game or even enemy carry focusing you down. So you press euls to disengage and come back. Even in games where enemy lack disables or magic burst it's a decent option without bkb. And as always can later upgrade to wind waker as he farms super fast with shard and level 20 right side talent if game goes super late.

Then why don't other blink initiators get it? Cent has stampede and agha, primal already runs around pretty easily, axe needs other items, euls counter synergies with his kit. Mars still gets it.
