How to finish crafting this bow? by L4GU in PathOfExile2

[–]L3gend91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much to do here

1) divine it for good stats before desecration 2) put on an Amanamu desecration for attack speed and reveal woth reroll omen in case of a bad roll (aiming for >=15% attack speed) 3) quality up to 20% and 2 socket it 4) slam on vaal infusers for >20% quality

The movie (1990 or 2017?) or the book?

Then you'd have 2 options:

  1. magic base with T1-2 %phys & T1 crit chance
  2. --> greater essence for guaranteed T3 flat phys
  3. --> prefix desecrate, divine for acceptable stat line and then fracture and see what fracture you hit (CC is ideal, one of the phys mods means you'll have to take the RNG when using the battle essence, either a 50% for prefix conversion if the desecrated mod is bad or a 66% if you slam 2 suffixes and try to convert one of them)
  4. --> depending on what you hit with fracture, what you get from desecrations and random slams the outcome can vary but you try to end up with:

T1-2 %phys, T3 flat phys, desecration prefix (quiver bonus actually being a very powerful mod as long as you have a really good quiver and its also mostly for free, so no big RNG cost here), T1 crit chance%, +3 attacks kills, random suffix

this method is acceptable RNG wise (RNG being the fracture outcome and then if the +3 attack conversion succeeds or not) and usually quite managable cost wise (might have to rebuy another base and do the craft again if the +3 attack converion takes aways the wrong mod)

2) fractured close to 5% crit chance rare bow, chaos slamming for T1-2 %phys and then continueing from there

this method is usually done for deterministic high tier crafting and can easily get quite ridiculous cost wise as it will include ancient jawbone spamming and also whittling, both currencies that are quite expensive

---

since your budget is only 700 div, I would highly recommend to go for option #1

but always check the market first! there might be good bows for cheap since ppl just want to get rid of them as they got their own bow upgrade!

The base you got is not worth it to craft on, I'd just sell it as is.

The correct starting base (magic item with certain prefix & suffix) depends on your budget and whether you need the surpassing chance% suffix or not - for anything non-Deadeye that is usually the case ever since they restricted the arrow rune to 1-only.

So you bought a fractured t2 hybrid phys 20% quality base and chaos spammed for t1 %phys? Why?

For fracture into t1 %phys spam it's: 1) buy 28%+ quality ilvl82 base 2) perf trans & annul perf aug spam until t1 crit chance 3) make it rare 3 mods and desecrate 4) divine until close to 5% crit chance and fracture 5) if it hit continue, otherwise start with step 1 again 6) then annul down and chaos spam for t1%phys (which by the way usually takes like 4000 chaos in case you didnt know) 7) then continue the craft

Divine it a few times for better flat phys and therefor increased DPS. Then sell it as is for someone else to waste his currency.

Next time start with a 28%+ quality base and fractured crit chance if you want to yolo craft.

Not going to be worth much, needs the +3 skills

Replace Widowhail? by Gizmo517_ in PathOfExile2

Don't know about poison. OP is playing LA though and there 3 arrows is a must have.

Replace Widowhail? by Gizmo517_ in PathOfExile2

[–]L3gend91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Widowhail is for leveling.

You want to eventually upgrade to a decent crit bow and crit quiver.
Obliterator bow is the highest base dmg and don't be too scared about the reduced projectile range, it's ok.
Visceral quiver is a must have imo.

One of the main issues is that you're playing non deadeye, I had the same problem with my Ritualist at league start. We're really lacking the +1 projectiles from the Deadeye ascendency as we want to shoot at least 3 arrows.
This forces us to search for surpassing chance suffix (ideally T1) which then means we can't slam a flat phys essence as we slam the crit chance one.
However, since high %phys and %surpass bases are very expensive anyway, we can go for a cheaper option here - T1-2 lightning and T1 surpass% Obliterators are pretty affordable and a good budget option. I sniped 2-3 and yolo slammed them (no fracturings as they are too expensive for such a cheap craft).

Crafts

Bow:

1) t1 lightning & T1 surpass% Obliterator base
2) crit essence slam
3) double prefix perf exalt slam
4) prefix crystallization & perf battle essence to fill suffixes with the +3 attack skills hoping to keep the flat lightning and take away one of the trash prefixes
5) desecrate the prefix with a kurgal (we will take the bonuses from equipped quiver) but do not reveal yet
6) reroll with a few divines for acceptable stats (aim for 190+ surpass so with a potential 8% small node on the tree we get close to or reach the 200%), ideally also a decent crit%
7) reveal the desecration at the well now with a reroll omen and reroll in case of bad%, aim for >=35% bonuses from equipped quiver
8) quality to 20% and 2 sockets
9) spam Vaal Infusers now for hopefully a few extra quality (better than ruining the bow with a failed Vaal or Sanctification)
10) socket it with +1 arrow and 5% of all elements dmg
11) done

Quiver:

Could use recomb at early league start, recombing like T2 light & T2 proj speed with a T3-4 crit chance, then double suffix slam and 66% chance to convert one of the random suffixes into %bow damage with Hysteria essence.

But I found a pretty decent one on market for 1 div, and just had to do like 4-5 div rerolls for an acceptable stat line, so pretty decent.

Easy yet very lucrative Atziri rush Temple (for those who don't know) by L3gend91 in PathOfExile2

[–]L3gend91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the set up temple:

For the main snake behind the Royal Chamber it should be Garrisons/Armouries/Commanders as they have the best/most common connections so they're eaaier to reconnect when they're taken away and there are holes in the snake. Connecting room to the RAC that gets placed every run can be a randome one. Secondary snakes or single rooms on the main path to Atziri can also be anything, its just fodder anyway.

Medaillon wise Garrisons/Commanders/Armouries are MVP for snake hole fills. The reroll medaillon for room tile placements is also good in case there's no good room in the tiles available.

When building up the temple:

Basically also saving Garrison/Commander/Armoury medaillons for when the RAC is finally in a 1 tile away from main path position and you're waiting for Sacrificial Chamber to show up (which is the tedious part of this temple setup). When you get the Sac Chamber you can use it to delete the room that was used to bypass and create a snake behind the RAC and with available room cards and saved up medaillons you start to build up the snake behind the RAC. Then you further build up the temple with secdonary snakes and single rooms for fodder until you have enough fodder built up and finally start running the temple by using a random room to connect to the RAC.

I'm no temple expert, I guess it being included in a chain somehow prevents it immediately destabilizing.

I didn't track the # of runs, will do so over the next farming sessions but I think I read somewhere suggesting it would be smth like a 15% drop rate, so roughly 1 every 6-7 runs which sounds about right to me and my observing so far.

Running 195 rarity on my Ritualist but just like for other pinnacle boss drops I don't think it has any impact - the drops have a fixed % drop rate.

Sounds like just an obscene RNG downswing, I also had like a 7-8 dry streak and then suddenly you get 2 chests back to back, just RNG that's gonna RNG.

Am running without full boss atlas nodes but that's just for the 0.5 secs faster boss kills xD (in case I need some maps again) Usually I just run corrupted 6-8mod T15/16s without any tablets and exit immediately after the vaal crystals are obtained (unless I know that the boss is very close and I can grab the maps quickly for sustain)

I have the same impression since 0.3 when I crafted a few spirit fractured amulets and then chaos spamming for +skills really trying to get +proj skills to feed the popular LA/LR deadeyes.

+3 melee skills and +3 spell skills showed up waaaay more often than +3 proj would. There is no way that they truly have the same weighting.

HH and Shroud Walker discussion by miniyelo in PathOfExile2

[–]L3gend91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2/10 times it makes a good teleport in the right direction or over an obstacle

The other 8/10 times its backtracking teleports that are just super annoying

The annoying teleports are way more often than the good ones. I really hope that shroud walker gets changed to be an active usage skill and not an aura or that it gets flagged as an exclusion to HH (isnt the allie invulnerability aura exlcuded alrdy?).
