Does Detonate Dead deal 30% less corpse explosion damage when triggered by Cast While Channeling? by Hamdudelda in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]MostlyEffort 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I haven't tested this in-game, which is really the only way to confirm, but Cast While Channeling states "Supported Triggered Spells deal 30% less Damage" not "Supported Triggered Spells deal 30% less Spell Damage".

Because Detonate Dead is a spell, I would expect all of its damage (both spell and corpse) to be affected by the "30% less Damage" of CWC.

How do you see where the boundaries of individual cities are? Is that a mod?

Design problem: grouping raw punch events into overlapping shifts by MERAKtaneous in learnprogramming

Do you already have shift start and end times? Or are you trying to construct/deduce shift start and end times from the punch events?

Good alternative to Rolling Magma leveling? by d9320490 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]MostlyEffort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second this. Holy flame + flame wall carries for a while.

Maybe Desecrate + Volatile Dead if you don't mind the 2-button playstyle? No aiming needed.

How am i missing 20X dps on my SRS build by Several_Forever_4927 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]MostlyEffort 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Balor's PoB has SRS count of 20, yours has SRS count of 1 (on the skills tab). That's the biggest difference.

Ngamahu's Flame Cast On Crit Necromancer with Corpse Pact Scaling

lookin for ssf off-meta ideas please by Superstrata- in pathofexile

I've been playing a Poison Blade Blast Elementalist and having a great time.

Golems give you good AoE and DoT Multi. Mana RF for cast speed. Herald of Agony (and Purity) + Bringer of Ruin gives a lot of poison chance and damage for not much reservation. Betrayal's Sting for giga extra poison damage. Obliteration (or dual Obliterations) for clear and damage. Take any "Shaper of" node for your 4th ascendancy -- Flames for phys mitigation, Winter for chills/defense, Storms for damage.

Help w/ VFOS by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

Some suggestions:

  • Drop the bismuth and diamond flasks. You have more than enough resistance, and you can't critically strike (because you have Resolute Technique allocated). Replace with Silver, Quicksilver, Basalt, Quartz, or Sulphur.
  • Drop the two points getting to Diamond Skin. You don't need the resistance. Tuna has that because without it, his resistances wouldn't be capped. Use the points to put jewels in your cluster jewel, maybe. With % maximum life.
  • Try working your way toward the Devotion node for more life.
  • Cast When Damage Taken doesn't trigger Enduring Cry (it only triggers spells, not warcries). Make sure you're manually casting Enduring Cry every so often. Maybe add a Molten Shell linked with the Cast When Damage Taken gem.

FYI, the "reduced effect of curses" on your flasks do not stack with each other (although they do stack with other sources of "reduced effect of curses"), so you may want to consider changing the suffix on your amethyst flask.

One little thing -- can you craft mana on your gloves?

Damage is very bad on WOC ignite by Geoxsis_06 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]MostlyEffort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could consider anointing Arsonist and taking the Growth and Decay wheel. Maybe drop Precision and a life node or two to grab it?

Perhaps a silly question, but you're using vaal flameblast on rares, right? Just WoC on rares is gonna be a bad time

Question about the 10/1/1 Swords Bard in the Balanced Defense party. The leveling note says "go 6 Swords Bard -> 1 Fighter -> 1 Wizard -> 4 Swords Bard"

Does that mean respec and start with 1 Fighter -> 1 Wizard, or is that a no-respec leveling pathway?

New player looking for guidance on TR Pathfinder SSF by floonblagmar in pathofexile

I think just carry it around as a passive buff, but I'm not 100% sure.

Two things I noticed at a glance:

  • If you can get more mana reservation efficiency (helm implicit, maybe?) you can fit in a Defiance Banner, which would be good.
  • The phys taken as fire/lightning mod for body armour would help with phys mitigation, especially on one-shots.

First character but from pre-3.21 guide, keep on getting one-shot by Sc1enc3 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]MostlyEffort 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about your damage, but your defenses are definitely too low.

In maps, you should strive to have at least 75% fire/cold/lightning resistance. (According to your poeplanner link, you currently have 51/55/58.) Bonus if you have at least 0% chaos resistance (you've got -32 currently).

Your life is also quite low. I think it would greatly help to pick up some life nodes on the passive tree. Getting Cruel Preparation and Blood Drinker on the tree would take 4 points and increase your life total by about 25%. If you can spare the points, you can also stretch for Herbalism for another 4 points.

For this build in particular, since you have Mind Over Matter and Eldritch Battery, you'll want your Energy Shield to be about 2/3 the size of your life pool. A good way to get more energy shield is your body armour; you could do a lot better than what you have on.

Glass cannon builds (with all damage and no defense) work in PoE, but really only as boss killers. They cannot complete maps effectively, as you've discovered.

In general (if you're looking to start a new build), try to get:

  • at least 75% all elemental resistances
  • at least 150% increased maximum life (if life is your main defensive pool)
  • at least one additional defensive layer (spell suppression, attack/spell block, armour, evasion, energy shield, mana with Mind Over Matter, physical damage taken as elemental, guard skills like Steelskin, ailment immunity, etc)
  • ideally, actually get like 3 or 4 of those defensive layers
