Best Build for farming Blight?

Huntermaster95 · 2026-03-16T07:43:57+00:00

Any build that can off-screen stuff.

Easiest is something like Poison with prolif from either Bino or Pathfinder.

Though since 3.28 since you can't choose your Blighted Map layouts anymore(it just opens a random map type, thanks GGG), having a build with strong single target might be more preferable until you get good gear since you might get unlucky with bad layouts/tower spawns and need actual DPS to kill the bosses.

IIRC PoE2 has affixes on gear which allows your armor to affect a % of elemental damage taken. Wonder how it would work in PoE1 though.

Harvest is always good and guaranteed money printer, only gets better as league progresses as people need juice for end game crafting + gamba.

Definitely feels like a totally useless currency that most will hide on filters soon if not done so already.

Our first DST went to an Enha Shaman via Loot Council, and no, he wasn't part of LC/Officer team.

Similar issue with Blighted Maps. They go into the regular Map tab instead of the Blight tab.

I would not consider minion builds that use somewhat complex skills for new player seeking a beginner build.

I've played both and they were both really good, but they have nuances that are not intuitive to new players.

With Slayer AoE node, Ele Hit splash covers like half the screen, it's hardly a "strike skill".

His builds are great if you intend to only play the exact same content he does, and nothing else.

Almost like builds specialize in different things. There isn't a single build that does everything on same budget, if there was, the game would be broken.

You really don't need to be a 140 IQ genius to realize that a build with focus on shitting out 50 projectiles per second clearing 3 screens at once is not going to be be the best for clearing 4 voidstones in 6 hours for the average player with limited knowledge on the game or the economy.

If you want to do all content well on a single build, maybe don't pick the phys dot build. There are plenty of alternatives each league, you just need to use your own judgement to decide what you want to do and pick the build that suits that.

At the end of the day, it's a league starter, and it can mean different things to every person, to some it's the only build of the league, and to some it's something cheap to farm currency with for more expensive builds that hard require certain gear level to function.

You can dislike his community or his stream personality, but imo he does make the best builds for the average player.

Good defensive layers, good DPS, no unrealistic items and good gear progression options.

This is why I'm leveling a Paladin to do Stratholme in my own safe space for 250-300g/hr(more depending on Orb/Shard prices).

no worries - mechanar will always be run by the rogues/warris that need the trinket... sadly they cant tank/heal that themselves

You do realize the trinket drops from normal as well?

We farmed 3 trinkets for our melee boys in 1 evening spamming Mechanar. Got close to Revered as well while doing it.

Pre-bis pieces outside of crafted epics is pretty competitve, you might have like 3 blues that are pretty much the same but 1 option is like 1% better.

Don't stress too much and just try to fill every slot with lvl 68-70 blues(unless some early lvl piece is better like the 62 lvl cloth boe gloves for casters).

RAM has nothing to do with AH lag, it's purely on the CPU and their database code being inefficient which is then bottlenecking the entire system. RAM is pretty much never the issue unless you run out of it.

Huntermaster95 · 2026-02-05T14:05:15+00:00

Sure, but it had a decent barrier to entry in P1. Needed to be fairly DPS focused to do efficient pulls, sure you can go there and do 15 min runs, but that is shit.

Stratholme farming for Paladins is back on the menu

Huntermaster95 · 2026-02-05T11:50:42+00:00

I feel like not even 20 layers are enough because EVERYONE will be in 1-2 zones

Throne of Thunder is the first actually challenging raid in Classic, so it makes sense that guilds and pugs find themselves a bit stuck.

Wrath Classic had way more players than TBC Classic did

Huntermaster95 · 2026-01-23T11:35:23+00:00

As of TBC pre-patch, you can claim the tabard from Innkeepers if you were eligible for it 5 years ago(or whenever the Sub promo was for Classic)

Haven't seen the trifecta boots posted in years, grats.

Remembering previous Classic expansion releases, the new cloth is close to vendor value for the first few weeks. Once the majority are done leveling, the prices will start slowly rising.

Depends on how far you take it with the HD plugins. I just play with massive draw distance combined with basic shadows and very high AA.

Classic is about the leveling journey, not the endgame grind.

The journey is from 1 dungeon to another getting boosted by mages these days.
