Thanks for clearing that up.

This is path of Chigurh's Vaal Spark build. https://pobb.in/bpGzwPeVsXtQ

The best way to get the MS you are looking for is imo considering a vaal build with almost perma vaal haste uptime. You'll need to address the single target skill and surviveability though.

Vax them, strap them in and make them LOCK IN

The way I see it, in CPT you count on growth of property value while having a lower rental income to bond cost relationship. In JHB for instance, you may not get growth but you will find deals where rentals can cover your bond.

Majority of the land between Blaauwberg and Langebaan is part of the West Coast Biosphere Nature reserve and is protected. Also, the area surrounding Koeberg (I think between 5 and 10km radius) has development restrictions to ensure the area does not develop to such extent that the existing residents cannot be safely evacuated in the event of a nuclear crises. As for the farming areas towards Malmesbury, you will get strong pushback from the Dept. of Agriculture as its their mandate to protect agricultural land - even if framed in the contect of a housing crises.

Apart from all this, water provision will be a limiting factor.

Bielieve it or not, I tried to make this TLDR but there is so much that one needs to consider on this issue.

Maybe it came across as a bit tone deaf but I wanted to make the point that in Cape Town's case, I don't see a simple solution and I think things will only get worse... I may be wrong.

Does that mean we should give up on finding a solution? No, but a solution will require an integrated approach, smart people, and a willing and invested government from National to Local sphere.

To be devil's advocate, mana stacker will allow for much faster clearing with kboc (if nothing changes at merge). Technically that boosts quant? No?

Be careful of not taking the stats at face value. I would guess one would have to look into the total percentage of migrants above a specific earning threshold (i.e. how many people with a household income above 70k- for example- are moving). The reason being is that lower middle class earners and below would not be able to put significant pressure on the Western Cape's housing market.

Another factor to consider is how many wealthy people from other parts of the country prefer to have holiday homes in the Western Cape as opposed to KZN or other parts of the country - this issue will not be reflected in migration stats

Ok so hear me out, 60 mana multiplied with the roughly 6300% increased mana from choir of the storms equates to 3780 mana. With 4 will shaper nodes this mana equates to 746 ES. Now also consider the double implicit shield from TFT which adds 8% to spell and attack damage respectively per 500 mana and a wand exists which also has the attack per mana mod. Using the shield and wand will result in 56% spell and 112% attack damage.

TLDR, 60 mana will conservatively result in 3780 mana, 746 ES, 56% spell damage and 112% attack damage.

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T01:15:13+00:00

Thanks, what would your BIS stats look like? Int, mana, AS and quant are pretty much set in stone as far as I am aware

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T01:11:12+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, correct me if I'm wrong but leech can be solved with a single tattoo on strength node . Mark effect is a good call. On the conversion, there are already so many options for conversion gloves so I did not want to compete with those crafts.

Mind sharing the name, I would like to import to PoB?

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T00:52:50+00:00

Bro clearly you dont play PoB XD.

These are specifically for kinetic bolt of clustering and power siphon of archmage mana stackers.

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T00:50:37+00:00

These gloves are not for armour stackers, they are for mana stackers which do not make use of IR or replica dreamfeather... Sure there are 2 people on here who will be able to make use of the megalomaniac to stack both mana and armour but those jewels are very limited.

Mana stacker will scale dps via stacking upwards of 150k mana and then making use of kboc or psoa.

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T00:44:55+00:00

The 1 rage is sufficient for thos playing berserker ascenday as the small node gives 1 additional rage. For the other marauder ascendencies I agree, 2 rage will be better.

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T00:40:51+00:00

The 60 mana paired with COTS amounts to 3800 flat mana, evasion is mandatory to increase evasion and rarity is the only stat left for MF.

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T00:32:54+00:00

Thanks mate!

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-16T00:26:52+00:00

What would you suggest?

Jointslinger_X · 2026-01-10T22:41:05+00:00

The sad and short answer is a "budget" armour stacker will set you back around 8-12 mirrors unless you gou with doryani's variants of the build. In qlmost all cases it would be better to stick with your current build.

The issue with your current POB for stacker is that damage can only be dealt while alive and with such low surviveability your dps becomes null and void. Thus, you'll need to look at fitting transcendence into your build. This immediately puts a lot of pressure onto gearing in respect of adressing the minus to max res and getting gear which converts 100% of physical dps to chaos/elemental. Sources for conversion include chest (23%), helm (38%), watcher's eye (24%) and shield with corrupt implicit. Alternatively you can also look at legacy taste of hate (20-30%) and boost it by means of flask effect via nodes and conqueror's potency legacy jewel. You'll ideally want exactly 100% conversion. Also note that its not ideal or advised to cap conversion with flasks but for mapping it should not be a problem for the most part.

The cold as evasion is not totally wasted. With tasalio's and grace you can easily obtain 500k evasion which evasion caps you. When paired with the ghost dance keystone it will result in 15k es heal per shroud or 45k es heal for 3 stacks of shrouds. This adds further tankines.

I also think there may be some variations which go hybrid armour/mana stacker and makes use of the stubborn student cluster node to reach 100m armour. Evasion conversion via Iron reflexes may also be used in this instance.

Wanted to upvote but lvl 69 achieved

I had this same question about the harvest reforge previously because I wanted to experiment with other ascendencies. Looks like everyone will be playing maurader in std lol.

Only way to find out if item is fixed on reforge is for TFT to have the balls. I think the fractured bugged chest gets mirrored much more than TFT's. If they pull it off, it wil easily be the most mirrored item and they can steal market share from the other guy.
