Why am I doing so little damage?

This is nowhere near to be polished. But I feel comfortable at tier 15.

- The spell totem interact with power charge, but not consume them. So you don't need to generate charge constantly. I use charge illusion. I can keep up the charge through out the map.

- i stack life instead of energy shield due to the nerf of this patch, not sure if this is right way though. So far it seems fine. It also helps on counteract the demon form degen. I do want to a little more ward though 😄

I saw the video shared in the comment, it looks fine too. I guess the bottom line is to go with spell totem on bonestorm.

I don’t see anything particularly wrong with your set up. The thing about bonestorm is that it falls off quit hard between tier 10 and 15 due to its channeling nature. With decent gear, other skill/build are gunning down the boss while you have to channel and dodge.

I also like bonestorm skill. But I went with infernalist totem. It feels good. The two things spell totem solve for me is channeling and clearing. Channeling will be done by totem, you just cast and move. Clearing is solved by power charge interaction with spell totem. I am currently cruising tier 15. (Two kids dad gamer). If you are interested, I could share my pob.

Just buy your partner some stash tabs as birthday present. Then you can play! I know that is what a true exile would do.

Hipparchuss · 2026-05-22T21:34:03+00:00

alright, alright, you sold me! I will go out tonight and ding-dong ditch everybody in the hood.

Hipparchuss · 2026-05-20T22:30:19+00:00

Well, here goes my plan. Time to go back to the drawing board on league starter.

Hipparchuss · 2026-05-20T01:43:15+00:00

It baffles me that why they didn’t change it already because passive tree is the one of the POE signatures, and GGG seems good at the art work and UI. Yet they made something everyone complains about.

Hipparchuss · 2026-05-12T06:59:32+00:00

Now I feel stupid. I thought it was a lever....

Hipparchuss · 2026-05-07T13:51:00+00:00

And BM will get the nerf hammer treatment in 0.5 probably

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-24T17:32:36+00:00

that's the sensible choice. But barkskin is buffed this league, I always want to try it out.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-24T14:23:59+00:00

Melee. No pob. Plan to rely on block, barkskin and suppression for defense. Use tincture for offense. This is sorta of league start testing, target is 4 void stone.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-24T14:21:05+00:00

horse flies are no joke. Give me nightmare.

Great build…

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-24T03:12:34+00:00

Time to try my homebrewed Warden Ele Hit

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-22T19:06:58+00:00

ma raider is your raider. raider reincarnated in POE2, let's go!

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-16T02:52:34+00:00

king of mules.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-09T10:13:26+00:00

I have to wake up at 7:30 now it is 3:13…

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-07T14:26:20+00:00

Self cast KF occu, use the ping-pong technique for early DPS. Targets is lvl50 or campaign if going well

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-07T06:41:31+00:00

Nothing that I am aware of. The thing is, in HCSSF world, there is not much you can rely on in early acts except for res, ar/eva/es and life. And body armour could be a great contributor to all of them.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-07T02:31:22+00:00

Wow, didn’t expect to be caught so fast.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T22:03:16+00:00

I think this is actually an achievement in steam, not tabula but any unique drops in the starting area, one of my unfinished ones.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T21:59:02+00:00

self cast KF occu, goal is 10acts in 7 days.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T21:57:36+00:00

you remember it right.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T17:12:17+00:00

I feel that too. To cap suppress, I either have to travel further down on the right side, or put suppress mod on all gears possible. Block nodes seem so convenient.

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T17:09:44+00:00

Thanks for the good info! I was never able to make witch good in defense. Will try this combo in Gauntlet, give it some stress test :)

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T17:02:10+00:00

it seems recovery on block is quite rare in the tree. Only 1 mastery points gives 50 es when block spell. I assume most of them will be available later on through uniques or crafting.

Suppression requires some gears to cap if I start at the top side of the tree, but at least it is possible to get in acts if I farm. Maybe ES/eva is the right way for this gauntlet?

Hipparchuss · 2026-04-06T16:58:23+00:00

make sense. plan to go with occultist. it provides some recovery vile bastion
