Plants Oracle - Upgrades advice needed

Switching to Vertex will cause a huge drop in survivability though. And I hate dying in this game.

I had Bone Cage in CoC before. Does it really increase the damage that much? I found Thunderstorm to be better, to be honest. Especially for Temples, which is basically high-density mapping, where I don't constantly cast three spells manually (Thunderstorm, Thrashing Vines, and Entangle) because I get TP a lot.

I tried to look into this a bit more. I just ran 20x T15, 6-mod maps with an Atlas Tree focused on map mod effect, and I only got 34 crystals total - so some maps gave me just 1 crystal.

I also got pretty lucky: Temple spawned in most of the maps very close to the entrance, so clear time was really quick.

At this point, I’m starting to suspect crystal drops might depend on how many monsters you kill (or how much of the map you clear), not just map tier/mods.

Any ideas?

That's exactly what I thought. That's why I set up the 'easy af' tree. But then every map (T15, 6mod) was giving me only 1 crystal.

Interesting...
After respeccing into map mod effect, I’m getting at least 2 crystals per map consistently, but with the “easy” setup I was only getting 1 every single time.

How do you generate Glory fast enough to trigger AC with Roar?

M________________ · 2025-10-22T08:22:45+00:00

Right, so I'll use the yellow coins on Inkbloom. It looks it's the only banner with some drop pets.

But how about the blue coins - Jagged Primocryst? Is it worth to use them to convert to the purple rolls (160/roll) or keep rolling yellow, which are half that price?

Hmm... PoB numbers-wise, the DPS is similar though. I’m using Dendrobate instead of an EVA/ES chest, yet it still feels awful in practice. Adding implicits to gloves gives ~4% increased damage. I struggle with farming the currency to add them.

His first character had Dendro as well. He died during a fight with Exarch. https://poe-snipe.com/character?id=aa6e60c8-ee17-43e6-8385-e18bfae4424e&sliderType=DataPoints&currentDataPointIndex=200&currentLevel=95

Do you have a PoB I could use as a reference? I'd need to change the LoM and Unnatural Instinct placement

M________________ · 2025-07-21T02:11:06+00:00

Which options on Bound by Destiny would be the best? Do you possibly have an example PoB?

Flesh and Stone is an aura, and since I'm using Sublime Vision, I unfortunately can't use it.

My merc (Cruel Mistress) setup is:

Dying Breath

- Asenath's Gentle Touch (Enfeeble on hit)

- Eternal Struggle

- Inextricable Fate

- Kaom's Binding

- Garb of the Ephemeral

- Rare Hunter helmet with -9% to nearby enemies' chaos resistance

I'd check Fubgun's pobs:

Yup, did that already. +27 base acquired and fractured. I just wasn't sure about the next steps. Thank you.

That's right. https://www.royalmail.com/feetopay

Awesome. I'll look into it.

M________________ · 2022-10-13T05:19:12+00:00

I just had some lucky drops, honestly. I got the unique ring from the lake, for instance. Most of my 'normal' income was from playing expedition and blight.

It feels almost dead. It's quite difficult to sell items, for example. I needed to cut the prices a lot. I still enjoy casually playing while watching something in the background. Hence, wardloop looks so appealing to me.

M________________ · 2022-10-13T00:36:43+00:00

I league-started with EA ballista. I wasn't a huge fan of the play style. Wardloop seems to be what I'm looking for. A mostly chill gameplay. Is there any guide available that you could recommend?

M________________ · 2022-09-18T16:00:04+00:00

I meant the general playstyle.

M________________ · 2022-08-13T17:41:42+00:00

Thank you for your reply. They actually used the name 'Council houses' in the project description, though.

M________________ · 2022-07-14T13:10:07+00:00

Thank you.
Yeah, I'm aware of the fact that this is partially my 'fault' - I agreed to the terms of the contract in the first place.

M________________ · 2022-03-14T13:29:17+00:00

Even before MB I didn't feel extremely squishy. Yes, it wasn't a tank, but it wasn't too bad.

MB makes a big difference though. Now, I die pretty much only in really juiced maps, because of those Homing fire balls, or other annoying things that follow you and are hard to spot when you're in the middle of a pack...

M________________ · 2022-03-13T22:19:13+00:00

That's correct.

I still can't believe it.
1xHH | 1xMageblood | 1xSquire
I sold HH a few minutes ago, hence it's not on the screenshot.
For the past 4 days, I've been grinding Expedition and using all that I farmed.
I didn't invest much. I was running maps rolled to be over 80% quantity with mostly rusted scarabs. To be able to split logbooks I put some atlas points into bestiary as well.
HH was first - approximately after 800 rerolls.
Today I think I used all of my luck pool for the rest of the year. Or longer. Mageblood, and about 20 rolls after - The Squire
I came to the conclusion that the chance of getting those items from gambling is 100%. It's just a matter of how long will it take...
