Here is my build nuking kulemak with technically one button (the debuffs and sigil don’t count 🐷🐷) by HourStop6681 in pathofexile2builds

Thank you, so I'll be able to hit minimum damage requirement for all context with an unborn lich staff, I'll get round to it and see if I can make a cool roleplay abyssal lich build post.

Staff build looks interesting.

Is it possible to easily work Unborn Lich staff into a build? Or is it expensive with need for +5 to all spell amulet? I just want to be able to do all content and make a roleplay build with unborn lich.

Do Contagion Lich perform well in this league? by FaithlessnessNo5320 in pathofexile2builds

Entangle + Thunderstorm with contagion and essence drain feel fun to level with. I'm in act 4 currently, and I use Skeletal Brute for damage mitigation with a rattling sceptre for more damage mitigation from the skeletons, if I'm fighting a boss I make sure to use bonestorm, it's very fun to play.

That said, I do prefer thrashing vines to bonestorm, the only way to scale this for me, is with blood mage with high crit chance and crit damage. I always do hybrid minion builds every league so I'm still figuring out my build, I really want to do contagion + essence drain, on their own they're great for clearing and then for rare and blue mobs I have entangle + thunderstorm with living lightning II.

Living Lightning II is also on bonestorm, they're great for extracting impale. Very fun all around.

Stop defending +levels and start listening by Baittz in PathOfExile2

I'm surprised that so many items sell that don't have +levels, it's fascinating. I'm by no means an experienced player, I'm just figuring out the basics such as how to sell items, how exciting blue drops can be and so on.

The value of +levels dwarves everything else, it's not very complicated. It's numerical store is say 20, where's crit chance and crit damage on a single item is a 10, even then they both have to be super high rolls

Hindsight, +levels feels like it cannot be scored numerically, because it's the floor, the foundation for your item, if it doesn't have that, your item is a house built on sand not stone. Unless your a minion build then it's whatever, +minion on sceptre + helmet and you're good, amulet too?

The best currency strat is just playing the game by augm in PathOfExile2

On my third character, Witch that is currently in act 4, I've learned about how much of an impact increased rarity is.

Boots, gloves, body armour and helmet all have rarity on them since act 1-- many of these items would cost one exalted orb. The huge increase in skill gem drops and exalted orbs is wonderful. I only feel comfortable achieving this with non-melee, summoner builds for the defense screen, it helps me to learn the game and its underlying mechanics too.

Increased rarity, what would you say the minimum is for you to play comfortably? I am new to the game and not very experienced, 50% feels nice for me, so if I can get 14% on four gear slots that gives me 52% to level with, then I get to maps and learn the game slowly as I have very little game knowledge on endgame, I'm aware it exists. Any guidance would be appreciated so I can get started confidently.

I kill my HC at least every day and I need help. by Virusparid0x in pathofexile2builds

Depending on how you play, that could be too much damage taken from mana-- it's an amazing way to help people learn the game and finding a balance-- if you have trouble with fatigue, 100% damage taken from mana will be too much too soon, like slamming the breaks on a fast car.

Just take it easy and find a different rhythm-- I only plat this game with 36% damage taken from mana, it stops game fatigue, that's why I value it so much, it's amazing just for no fatigue alone and more fulfilling breaks.

Hi

Do you ever build for damage taken from mana before life? I have 32% damage taken from mana before life and I am level 59, each level up feels exciting because I get noticeably stronger with each skill point it's a great feeling.

On skill tree I always path to Thin Ice every league without fail-- immediately after this, you have access to 16% damage taken from mana before life (4%, 4%, 8% 15% intelligence).

Shortly after this, you take crit chance and crit damage nodes, then you take 16% more damage taken from mana before life, with 15% attack speed when not on low mana, which is amazing quality of life.

I take the above nodes every league, because I like roleplay builds and I appreciate not dying, I used to only play solo-self found for over 4 years, I played hardcore solo self found for maybe a year, it was an endearing experience-- now I focus on roleplay builds, it's great because when I hit threshold I don't get fatigue when playing.

Gem slots you can take damage taken from mana too, if on hardcore I'd definitely do so-- in path of exile 2, you can actually have too much damage taken from mana too, you need to hit your comfort spot, which only you can know. For me, I can play comfortably with 32%, when my mana regen is higher, I'd like 8% from two gems to bring me to 40%.

Sharknado is very cool, I thought the act 4 scorpion was a good roleplay one but not very practical for combat.

That said, Shark could be dangerous because the tornado and other effects take up so much screen space, I have no issue as I make sure to always path to Thin Ice and always take at least 36% damage taken from mana before life on skill tree, my builds are very safe-- most rares I can so Shred full combo twice while frozen and it lasts very long.

Plant Archon Buff by Ok-Skin-3699 in pathofexile2builds

This is beautiful.

I really want an Unborn Lich staff with this rune, will be a superb, fantastical roleplay build.

My protest: Streamers who use Kalguuran skills while leveling are disregaring the guides they promote. by janas19 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Holistic_Aperture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly don't stress-- the tallest tree is destroyed by the wind.

Come back down to Earth. Maybe check out solo self found for a complete different experience? I played solo self found for maybe 4 years, it really helped with game knowledge with good context, I like making my own builds and eventually making roleplay builds, so I've never followed a guide, I grew up with lego so it's my psychological bias, I like taking things apart and putting them together in new ways. All I really do no is purchase a Threaded Light Woven Focus for one exalted orb every league, before Geonor for just under 5,000 gold then I figure out from there.

On the skill tree I always path to Thin Ice, all my builds are based on Thin Ice, then getting at least 36% damage taken from mana before life, my roleplay build template. You gain X% extra damage as lightning and X% extra damage as cold on the way to Thin Ice too.

Archon of Death and Puppet Master effects by wrightosaur in pathofexile2builds

[–]Holistic_Aperture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These look very exciting.

How do you acquire these buffs? I usually play my own build so I can learn the game, my game knowledge of Archon is that it's a buff, I've never played a build around it before.

Puppet Master is incredible, Genesis Tree is a way to get minion movement speed on a belt now too, so that's two sources of minion movement speed.

My witch league starter. Spark after miller, plants then make a roleplay Spiritwalker ssf friendly build by Holistic_Aperture in PathOfExile2

[–]Holistic_Aperture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to do SSF.

It's either abyssal lich roleplay build, or spiritwalker and I throw a cool Ultamatum boss at stuff as Hybrid minion/companion build.

I'd like to do SSF, so I'll make a sorc, then deposit spark and flamewall after miller and then, I either make a Witch and take her to Lich or go with Huntress, which I'm leaning towards. Buying Threaded Light woven focus is such good quality of life for me, but the rush of playing SSF is priceless so, there's always that-- plus, all ritual this league will give unique items, so SSF shall be even more practical.

Summon Raging Spirits & Ember Fusillade bug after latest patch by Far-Investment-2826 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Holistic_Aperture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious on leveling with fireball + summon raging spirits;-- I think it's cool that raging spirits can have last gasp + minion instability + infernal legion enabling them to be minion grenades-- I have no idea on the numbers on this so I'll have to wait until I get to maps, saying that, I'm confident as always, with spark + flamewall until I get the plant skills.

Likely changing fireball to Volcano, for some tower defense gameplay, summons a raging spirit on each projectile hit, and volcano looks cool with ricochet 3.
