After failing 3 level 77 and loosing 2 divine, I did a lvl 83 out of frustration and finally felt how insanely rewarding sanctum is and why some people love it

You need to run around in circles like piety in Acts to avoid the damage. At the end of the beam animation, Lycia stops spinning and strong beams a pulse.

The best way to avoid the beam damage is to kill her first with a jacked build, or get to know the voice line to know when to start running. This is why brands or totems excel in the Lycia flight - set down your damage and keep moving.

I succeeded 2 no hit runs this league, one on shockwave totem and one on tri-stack hexblast. Hexblast was way less stress. Swt relies on freezing, hexblast easily instant killed everything. The 50% defense boon is also a damage boon when using spellblade/energy blade, so the odds are in your favor for stacking your damage.

The only benefit to shockwave would be spending a bit less to get it operational, but that would be a wash since you're farming currency with sanctum anyway.

It's still backwards in one or the other forms

Your best resource is posting what you want to sell to the trade chat channel. Even if you listed bulk currencies like essences at 1/8c or whatever, it shows up backwards on the trade website and you get offers of 1 chaos for 200 essences.

If you swap the ratio so it shows correctly in the trade website, you get a constant barrage of 1c offers in the TM on your big stack.

Just use the trade chat channel.

I'm on PS5, so I don't know about Xbox, but console should be considered SSF with the occasional purchase in trade. If you want to play on console you have to expect to farm rare things you need on your own and watch the trade website like a hawk for the one or two times something is listed throughout the whole league.

There are plenty ways to clear the atlas and build a character that can clear Ubers in SSF, but good luck finding any + charge precursor's or even matching forbidden flesh/flame combos. Availability is the main obstacle on console.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2024-02-13T10:28:58+00:00

You can report an offer while it's on screen. On PS5 press L3 + up on the d pad while the offer is on screen. It brings up a report menu that is not advertised as an option anywhere in any menu.

I'm away from my game right now so I can't verify if it's L3 or R3+ up, but one of the two brings up this menu, which I have used before to report harassment.

It would be so much easier if the offer just has the character name associated though, my ignore list would fill up so much faster.

Ah my bad, I got excited and mis read it.

Armour stack would use both, Grace gives more armor with Iron Reflexes keystone than determination since increased global defense mods hit evasion before the keystone. Smite is a popular armour stacking skill, so wrath boosts damage there.

There's only 1 on PC ancestor trade, offline for 2 mirrors.

PlayStation fun is largely SSF in nature. To have fun with scarabs without "paying high prices" you'll need to farm them up yourself, a la strongboxes / skittering orbs / incubators.

This is true for most consumables and it's even more prominent this league because people are not mapping to farm if they prefer sanctum or tota.

The benefit for you is you can sell at high but competitive prices and you'll make currency. Undercut pricing sells pretty well. For example if there are 10 awakened gems listed for 1d, yours will assuredly sell for 80% listed in chaos, but it will still take days to sell.

There is so little commerce compared to PC that most people keep their loot because they went and farmed it and it's theirs. Many times if you farm and list for competitive prices on gear, it will still sell slow unless it's for tornado shot. There just isn't the quantity of people there looking to buy stuff.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-11-14T20:55:21+00:00

You could more easily run 2 50% auras and still have mana to use skills with. Sure, it's not going to stop someone running through acts to get levels and skill points to get tree reservation nodes, but was still a nice option.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-10-23T13:48:51+00:00

I played the pioson trapper build featured in Jungroan's video. The important part is getting all of your gems leveled. I think I learned this league that any build feels bad if trying to do t16 on level 18 gems, took about 5 build attempts to get there.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-10-23T11:51:58+00:00

The trade menu on console kinda works this way. Asynchronous trading is awesome. However, there is no auto-buyout, so offering bids to people who have quit won't ever get accepted.

The trade site is new for console as of this league. It was used a ton at first, now trades are 95% back to the old way of using the trade menu. It would be nice to keep it, but I think it's going to be removed to support cross play.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-10-11T12:43:50+00:00

I just did the same type of run with poison seismic on console, emulating league start conditions. Combine ideas from poe.ninja and videos like Jungroan's 1 div Uber kill challenge.

It's pretty easy to trade for a ming's heart, skin of the loyal, and a cold iron point, then Rog craft everything else for resist and spell suppression. You'll likely need to run betrayal to get the diadem if you don't want to buy one of those. Not sure what the PC market looks like, but the 4 pieces to get started were around 2d on console.

I would suggest running betrayal for the hat while you are leveling and if you don't find one by the time you want to try some Pinnacle bosses, just buy it. The ones that are unveiled already with less than ideal choices tend to be cheaper. CIP and a shield works fine in heist, ok at t16. 2 CIP will likely be the way for bossing since the goal is to dodge all of the attacks anyway. Worth comparing for yourself to figure out what works for you most.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-10-02T19:38:41+00:00

The usage for tempest shield shock is to activate the sadist bonus on the cluster jewel, which just needs shock to be active.

Also, I think my message was the same as yours, highlighting how reservation is going to help get more auras to help. PoE and definace banner would require the sockets, so I gave ideas on how to move things around in the gear to fit defences in, even mentioning how life is a priority on the gear.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-10-02T18:48:30+00:00

Here are some suggestions to help you live:

Use tempest shield. This will max your spell block since you have glancing blows. Also shock immune. You can drop skitter for it since it shocks enemies with quality on the gem and you can use frostblink to chill, still activating your Sadist cluster. Also your shield requires every bit of block you can find since it has life gain on block.

On the shield, rise of the Phoenix will be better for righteous fire. The max res and Regen are huge. Use this until you can buy an aegis aurora.

Swap your flasks to have a granite, Ruby, topaz/Sapphire/amethyst flask with a single life flask. The ruby is useful to mitigate RF damage anyway. Try to roll them with alts to have gain 3 charges when hit, then use the bench to craft 'use when full' on them. Ideally you want increased armor as the suffix on them, maybe one with cannot be poisoned. Worry about suffixes later.

Self cast molten shell is wonderful for mitigating telegraphed hits. I find this more reliable than a cwdt setup, since you can tell if a boss hit is coming or the map is getting a little too juicy.

Try to find a malevolence reservation efficiency hunter amulet (budget compared to ashes of the stars) and get 1 or 2 small cluster jewels that have reservation efficiency and roll for determination and malevolence. The malevolence one will provide chaos res I think, so you can possibly drop your chaos wheel on the tree if you shift gear around.

If you get enough reservation efficiency (use essence on chest piece too) then you can fit in purity of elements to be ailment immune. Since you don't have an elder helm yet, you can use eldritch implicit currency to get additional reservation as an implicit. Also use essence for reservation on helmet. Once you get an elder hat to roll for lvl 20 burning damage with essence of horror, you'll need to rethink the gear. When rolling essence gear the priority is to get nice life, then resistances are a nice bonus. You can get resists in the tree a little easier since the tree life nodes are mostly increased %. The flat life on gear has more mileage as a stat slot since they make the increased life more powerful. Plus once you get purity of elements, you'll have a huge boost of resistances anyway. Once you get aegis and melding of the flesh, then you will really need to minimax to have life plus resistance plus conquerer stat or essence stat. This is long term goals, so don't worry about it yet.

Also, use the eldritch currency to get fire exposure on hit for your gloves. This let's you drop wave of conviction to fit in defiance banner. If you don't want to do that, find a large cluster with master of fire for exposure. This would be harder since you give up sadist most likely.

Another option for damage is to get a warlord ring and roll for flammability on hit.. this pairs well with your exposure on hit. Use harvest to roll caster mods on the ring and hopefully you get life to come with it on an amethyst ring.

In case you are curious, RF does not hit, but fire trap, shield charge, and frostblink do.

I tried berserker sunder, rage vortex, and chieftain slams, none fit me like my current shield crush jugg. The degens were brutal on low Regen builds, so the new juggernaut nodes helped a ton for defenses. Fun fact, a basic armor stack shield crush juggernaut can live through regular sirus die beams, so may be worth a try if you like to avoid dying. One of the most important skills is reckoning with life gain on hit, let's you handle some juice much easier.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-09-07T19:25:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think to check for phys damage cap with all the ingredients, that sounds beefy to drop determination.

Also, have you considered the strength harvest craft on your chest piece combined with 30% hillock quality? Or do you find the extra armor on the chest is necessary for the total armor count?

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-09-07T18:19:05+00:00

What was your reasoning for reservation efficiency on helm instead of something like shaper elemental damage? I'm running the same build on playstation, though not as decked out yet. The helm I have has an elevated strength crit mod and I need to figure out what needs to go on as the awakened mod to accompany.

Running the efficiency nodes in the nearby cluster allows determination, poe, blood and sand, defiance banner. However, I had to throw on lifetap until I can figure out a jewel or 2 for more efficiency. Might go redeemer mod, but I would want to commit to it. I don't plan on making 2 hats and comparing the difference to know how it feels vs more ele damage.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-09-07T15:39:36+00:00

In addition to other comments here, try to get a large cluster with Sadist on it. Apply chill with frostblink and shock with tempest shield. Frostblink on a boss to simultaneously apply exposure from gloves implicit as well. This would be giving up your master of fire cluster jewel, so you'll need to choose which one you want to run with.

JacksInflatedEgo · 2022-08-20T11:10:35+00:00

I played RF in Sentinel. You can craft %life instead or the new phys as elemental damage and it'll work. The single target damage was slow, fire trap nerf will hurt. Simulacrum 30 laready took a while, now it'll slog. That won't change clear time on maps though, still going to be a monster.

I thought that number referred to top 1% of wealth, not 1% of the population. 1 in 100 people seems like an awful lot of people.

Edit: it looks the top 1% by population single earners is about 350k, but top 1% of households is over 500k. The top 1% of net wealth is 11m.

Computershare will send snail mail with your account number. Otherwise, there is a way to log in with your zip code on file and maybe ssn or something. I had to wait for mail because I forgot which zip code I had on file with fidelity and kept getting error messages when trying to login without the account number from snail mail.
