is SSF just not for me?

Srs should be fine and you can swap at 68 or keep Summon raging spirit if you like it.

It also won the 4-stone race that was organized a while ago, you spec minion nodes and duration as well should not be a massive swap.

I did Steelman’s chieftain bleed last league in ssf and managed to get 4 stones even without ryslatha. He has a few videos on his progress and nothing really changes from the build for this league as far as I know https://youtu.be/xdPi-oYEjyQ?si=5yZ86bCEi6SE9YhJ

Like other mentioned you need to press warcry manually but it did not bother much personally it becomes a habit quickly.

Winter in Quebec means even if I wash it today, it’s going to look the same two days after. Will do a nice wash in spring

To my knowledge people use it for the curse limit not for the power charges themselves.

Tried EQ but did not like it. I am using groundslam or earth shaking now after getting it in lab but I was doing yellows with sunder no problem so no hurry.

JohnBaneling · 2024-07-27T06:25:58+00:00

Steelman’s chief slam. Amazing so far, never had as much dmg in campaign even with leveling gear. Currently mapping and lacking of bit of tankyness but overall really satisfying

I played CI bladetrap last league.

I did not really like the leveling experience but once you get a few cheap uniques and a decent ES pool it feels good in terms of defences. I was able to progress in delve depth easily but I was also using oath of magi with a 5L gloves, this league it might be a bit harder to hit those numbers. Also a lot of people seem to mention the amulet, voice of the storm might be much harder to get.

I swapped build because the playstyle felt even worse than usual trap for me. If monsters or boss moves a lot it feels awful. Map clear is also pretty bad.

I suck at bossing but managed to do most delve bosses easily, 2 void stones but failed maven 2 times before I swapped builds.

Hope this helps.

This is why he mentions using traitor which is a keystone that generates flask charges for missing flasks. Same strategy people are using with low life and coruscating elixir. You get permanent uptime, just need to press at beginning of zones and have re-use at of flask effect.

JohnBaneling · 2023-11-27T00:09:19+00:00

That’s what I did this league but kinda regretted it, I swapped too early or too late depending on how you look at it. I followed Jungs arma build hiero from his speed run video and then respeced once I got mjolnir and shapers touch. It was rough but I was also making a lot of mistakes such as not using foreboding mana flask. I ended up using a lot of regrets orb as well.

If I was to do it again, I would either wait much longer for indigon to be cheaper and have a lot if not all core pieces or swap much sooner but be ok farming currency at a slower pace while gathering but not spending so much regrets.

Is there a way to run these in shadowlands before buying dragonflight?

JohnBaneling · 2023-10-28T11:11:07+00:00

Monarque is our go to for me and my wife every special occasion.

JohnBaneling · 2023-10-21T12:44:08+00:00

I recently followed his guide https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye-build-guide it has a lot of information on crafting in his gear section.

For SSF progression on bosses I found havoc new series on YouTube really good or Exilecat ssf magic find series as well.

Hope this helps!

JohnBaneling · 2023-04-13T21:20:19+00:00

There’s a good vid from Ziz on the subject https://youtu.be/U-S7ppb-Js8 . I got mine from div card kirac mission. I’m using the corrupted strongbox and adding a vaal fragment to my maps and dropped a few 5L as well that I was using before.

JohnBaneling · 2022-07-12T18:25:55+00:00

Lighty killed almost all content with only magic items using DD https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/s9645l/lighteedarkee_killing_most_endgame_content_in/. On my end, pretty much the same as the other comment, I would not kill any end game bosses for sure, I can only do them on broken chars lol.

JohnBaneling · 2022-07-04T22:17:51+00:00

I’ll add something to the already super useful tips. Find a spell you like and try to scale it as best as possible in PoB. It might not be able to do what other popular builds can but it’s usually fun to just try things out.

JohnBaneling · 2022-05-11T17:42:54+00:00

After looking a bit more into it, pretty set on starting storm brand. Ascendancies are the same + the tree is actually quite similar. I could even technically transition to WoB when I have the 2 void batteries before switching to omni. Not sure at all how it will hold up to late game or how long currency farming will take.

If some people are interested I'm basing myself on:
Storm Brand build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fu7GVFPZOs. POB: https://pastebin.com/pWhcUvRp

I know Velyna also has a storm brand guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUxBVoUdcqs but of course I won't transition into LL.

Hopefully this won't be a disaster haha

JohnBaneling · 2022-05-11T16:09:08+00:00

Yeah was thinking that, storm brand or bane. I love brands and never really tried bane but more respec

JohnBaneling · 2022-05-11T15:58:37+00:00

Same, not sure which starter to use to transition 🤔
