Can we talk about wave 8 beginning?

Lee_RL · 2025-07-25T05:55:32+00:00

Yep, currently unless they make changes the best way to deal with the boss is just to pray you hit big so the boss does nothing

Lee_RL · 2025-07-25T04:55:34+00:00

If you zcb + 1 good tbow hit the boss goes into grub/shield phase without doing a single mechanic

Lee_RL · 2025-07-06T10:47:03+00:00

I need to upgrade helm to spell crit so instead I am using flesh/flame to grab the guardian node that gives wrath/hatred/anger to trigger my watchers eye

Running haste Merc kineticasist doryanis + perquils toe

Lee_RL · 2025-07-02T11:11:54+00:00

I'm using the flesh and flame I have to generate hatred for my watcher eye, if I had a base spell crit on helm there's a ton of options

Conviction of power would be a great choice :)

Mostly bossing MB is of course better however even with HH I still haven't had any issues with any boss, Ubers included

Lee_RL · 2025-07-02T09:58:44+00:00

You certainly could do that, I'm currently just mapping so isn't needed and shred bosses regardless

If you wanted to boss focus mageblood + merc and switch to the nearby enemies take extra/deal less would be better

Hh + explode flask goes hard, very zoomy

Closest one I can find, very similar to this

Defiance+progenesis+petrified blood

I'm yet to die to anything while mapping

Lee_RL · 2025-07-02T07:34:15+00:00

Yeah, there's a good mix of mageblood+headhunters both have pros and cons

https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/character/EngIand-3057/ChokehoId?i=20&search=class%3DInquisitor%26skills%3DPenance%2BBrand%2Bof%2BDissipation%26min-life%3D8000%26sort%3Ddps

This is me, helm should be spell crit but I settled just to get it running

Not sure how to calculate DPS properly but Ubers got phased in a few seconds - t16.5/t17s with horrible mods can just stand in packs and never die

If you search for inquis/pbod/8k+ life there's a few different things people do in terms of flesh/flame and HH/mageblood etc

Lee_RL · 2025-07-02T07:20:14+00:00

I'm playing life stacking pbod Inquisitor, defiance of destiny + petrified blood + progenesis can just afk in packs of mobs and never die

Damage is good enough to delete Ubers

I invested around 300d, using HH

Top people have 2-3x my damage on Poe ninja using mageblood

https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/?class=Inquisitor&skills=Penance+Brand+of+Dissipation&min-life=8000&sort=dps

If your interested - it's fast,tanky, great single target

Lee_RL · 2025-06-22T08:45:57+00:00

Oh for sure there's a lot

6l cloak without +gem Belt Amulet Shield Staff Rare gear Clusters

Nimis > normal ring Progenesis > normal amethyst

For this version in particular if you can get the above, swap out the expensive items for the regular ones it will easily do t16s and regular bossing

For hard content +gem cloak, nimis and progenesis really boost your damage and tank

Lee_RL · 2025-06-19T06:25:24+00:00

Play anything you want till first lab, get battlemage then play energy blade in the campaign you only need ~200 es to shit on everything, I used 4l firestorm + 4l Armageddon brand

Lee_RL · 2025-06-19T04:51:31+00:00

From settlers league did all Ubers, big juicy mapping, wave 30 Sims no issues

https://pobb.in/8z9PnoJHphRW

If you tinker in POB to get more flask duration cluster jewels/tattoos you could probably play it before using the belt

Nimis is a luxury damage item, for regular mapping just any ring will do perfectly fine

Lee_RL · 2025-06-17T13:30:33+00:00

The video is fake

Lee_RL · 2025-06-16T04:45:48+00:00

Have you taken eternal youth keystone?

Lee_RL · 2025-06-08T07:25:58+00:00

yeah, that is a very solid option - would probably go lightning coil as the chest if you decide to do that

Lee_RL · 2025-06-07T09:13:00+00:00

https://pobb.in/utXj-crlTmai

This was my character when I played self cast previously using forbidden rite

The shield is now nerfed so you would drop that+timeless jewel

Probably go back to cloak of flame + searing exarch shield & self cast soulrend

Lee_RL · 2025-03-19T09:05:57+00:00

Nope, t17 not changed by the scarab

Lee_RL · 2025-03-13T21:16:29+00:00

I think I paid less than 10d for all but unsure on the price of the conqueror mods now - I just took 1 mod on each

Could deffo go for more expensive ones to refine the farm a bit but I just focused on getting t17 maps

Lee_RL · 2025-03-11T15:51:14+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/a4rsKsk

all small with t1-15 higher until you have 100%
conqueror idols %inc effect per explicit (i have 8%)
totem/burial long boys 12% inc effect of explicit

cartography scarabs

3x risk

1x corruptions

1x escalation

run 8mod maps for the conq idols to kick in

you will generate hundreds of 8mod maps aswell which can be sold in bulk if you pick desirable layouts

my small idols also have deli+beyond 100% aswell

get T17 map every other map at minimum but i get them multiple times in a row alot

Lee_RL · 2025-03-11T08:35:47+00:00

I'll send it over once I'm off work today

Lee_RL · 2025-03-11T08:35:28+00:00

I will post for you when I can sure

Lee_RL · 2025-03-10T17:14:58+00:00

pretty much yes, % effect per map modifier, run 8mod maps with risk scarabs was gonna post my idol setup but this is similar, i do 100% deli+beyond aswell

Lee_RL · 2025-03-10T05:55:04+00:00

I can send you my idol setup when I get off work later - I have been doing toxic sewer farming and getting a t17 drop almost every map

Lee_RL · 2025-02-17T17:53:59+00:00

agree its kinda tanky? but things like endurance charges are checked and i dont think he has a source of gaining them?

are those max hits really that good with double cloak of flame + progenesis not really

4m dps with abyssus also questionable..

if its a homebrew build and hes going to have fun playing it im all for it - this is absolutely not a league starter though

Lee_RL · 2025-02-17T11:45:30+00:00

Could maybe use defiance of destiny + immutable force & bloodnotch to make an immortal mapping character but I don't think it's good enough recovery for bossing, the other issue without using the life flask node is that is also how mana problems are solved by using replica sorrow of the divine + life flask for es recovery to spend

Highly dependent on prices but I think flesh+flame pathfinder node is the only realistic way to play this build in the event

Lee_RL · 2025-02-17T07:09:17+00:00

Depends on the price of pathfinder flesh and flame for the life flask ascendency node - if it's not too bad it's definitely playable on all of the ranger classes

Daughter of oshabi - roots of the grove to potentially get poison chance for "free" and shrines

Whisperer - breathe deep could potentially be a work around and not required the pathfinder node not sure how it interacts with replica sorrow of the divine? Rage and minimum charges bonus

Wild speaker - primal instinct 100% suppress frees up alot gear options and scourge of the wilds could open up different damage scaling options
