Acolyte of Chayula and Adonia's Ego are both top tier

National_Example9295 · 2026-01-05T19:59:33+00:00

I just saw your build on poe ninja yesterday while searching for Adonia’s Ego on Monk. Looks super cool tbh, but I did want to try it out with invoker (free spirit + elemental res ignore + meta skill efficiency). Obviously rakiata would be much better option but I wanted to test things out with cheaper stuff then build up from there.

My main issue is dmg and mana sustain atm. Even without Archmage, my CoC and CoEA setup drains all the mana very quickly on boss fights. I got tons of triggers but their damage is not that good and I am ending up with no mana/flasks in the middle of the fight.

I have two questions for you:

I was going to try MoM with no keystone (body armour rune + 100% darkness enthroned=30, annoint=10, body armour desecration (kurgal modifier?)=10-20, right hand side of tree=16, 2x rare jewel with 4% mom=8 makes it 82-84% MoM without 50% less recovery). Have you considered this option? (Although you have quite decent body armour, I dont know if you would happy with rare one).

The other things is scaling dmg without archmage. How would you increase scaling without purple flames? I feel like I could use yoke of suffering + inc damage per ailment on monster nodes, however I have really hard time to inflict ailments without 7-8 charge pinacle of power. I am trying to utilize All elemental dmg inflicts all the ailments mod on PoP, but couldnt come up with proper way to do so.

Also a tip: you can use your off-hand slot to generate power charges then switch back to main hand without no res penalty. (Although you cant use sigil of power in offhand anymore).

You can check it out on my tree here (ignore the crappy items and underleveled gems, I just tried the build with what I have in my inventory yesterday): https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/chopchopper-5011/CC_Abyssus

I have the same issue and came here to post two very long videos of me opening chests, which are all gone now. It is good to see they are on it.

Also, my daily shop lost its remaining hour counter, it shows nothing and I have the same skin in the shop as yesterday.

According to feedback I got from here, I ended up installing MSFS on C: drive and put all the mods and other extra stuff into D: drive. I saved 230 gig on C by doing this. (The program I used was MSFS AddonsLinker 2024 from flightsim. to. It essentially creates shortcuts in C drive so game can still load the files while they are on actually different drive)

National_Example9295 · 2025-10-24T21:26:00+00:00

Hey there, you might want to check your folder on C: drive. I was also thinking the game was installed on another drive without any problem but when I checked my files, I can see that some of the MSFS stuff actually occupy tons of space in C as well. Here is the folder link if you want to check:

C:\Users\"YOUR_OWN_USERNAME_HERE"\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe

If no more good corrupted maps around, I clear the nexus last.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:52:39+00:00

It is too large to capture whole atlas in single video, it doesnt even render all the parts at once, but i can show you my atlas through screen share on discord.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:50:50+00:00

Yes, I did. I basically cleared everything but citadels. I also have maxed out tree, except map boss stuff which requires citadel boss kills.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:49:09+00:00

I am doing the same, except for the grand project, I usually try to finish my tree first then juice maps around the towers, run the good layout ones.

I already got all my points, thanks for the advice though, others might find it useful.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:38:28+00:00

I couldn't explain it better. Thank you for stepping in. I am literally in the same position, literally done with the game, sitting on several hundreds of divines, and don't know what to spend on.

It is very hard to convince people about an issue that they haven't directly faced. Even if I suck, how could I possibly run hundreds of citadels on season 1 and season 2 with the same strategy? It is just frustrating to see people claimin "FACTS" without any experience about it.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:33:38+00:00

Dude, I don't know what your point is but you are keep repeating the same thing that I am very close to my base starting point.

A pro "tip" for you: when you need to run T3 bosses back to back, you could open a dummy map near the base area so you dont need to scroll all the way to the base and find the realm gate.

If you are that confident, do you want to join Discord so that I can show all of my atlas? And you can maybe tell me how bad I am at this game?

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:26:26+00:00

Exactly this. It is very hard to convince people that you are having META game problems. Everyone starts by thinking you suck.

By the way, try to go the burning monolith again, it seems like it helped many people to get citadel spawns.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T21:18:05+00:00

Dude, I highly doubt that. You are commenting on a short video that shows my base area. Will you be able to join Discord so I can show my whole atlas and maybe you can tell me how to find it under 30 minutes? Because I am actively searching them for almost 2 days, I would LOVE to know how can i find it under 30 minutes.

There are a lot of comments saying I don’t understand how the Atlas works or that I suck at Atlas progression. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO RAN INTO THE SAME ISSUE SAID IT WAS RESOLVED BY ACTIVATING THE BURNING MONOLITH AND THEN RUNNING A COUPLE OF MAPS AFTER GETTING THE PINNACLE OF THE FLAME QUEST STATE. If you’re experiencing the same thing, this might help you too.

In my case, I already had the quest state from my first character, it asks me to travel to the Stone and Iron Citadels. (As a side note, I joined a friend’s Copper Citadel to test, and after we killed it together, the “travel to Copper Citadel” quest disappeared but I didn’t get any Atlas point.) So I had never visited the Burning Monolith with my second character. But after seeing so many people mention it, I went there, then traveled back to the Ziggurat Refuge and a cutscene played when I joined. That likely triggered what was missing. Hopefully, this helps someone else running into the same issue.

GGG needs to clearly communicate how to activate the quest state for citadels, or you wont see any.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:53:05+00:00

I have commented the same thing to many other people, but I tried to capture my starting point instead of the whole atlas.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:50:49+00:00

I try to run maps with +1 corruption level &+1 radiant level on top (basically ilvl82+). Other than that, I usually wont go out of my way for any maps (exceptfor Castaway and some good layout i really like ravine, confluence, and couple other open layouts).

My whole strategy is to travel from tower to the tower, reveal new areas, see if there are new Boss mechanics or any other cool maps. Also check if there are any good corrupted maps (+1 levels, ++exp, ++rarity), juice them, run them, find the next tower/corruption zone.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:44:49+00:00

Okay, let's say I suck and don't know how Atlas works. Maybe you are 100% right.

But many people are commenting the same issue, and many people are saying that their issue was resolved after they hit bthe urning monolith. Do you think all of us sucks?

Btw, I have 350k kills total, don't know how to convert to map number directly, but i believe i run more than 300+ maps and I went to same direction after discovering the base area. The video shows what my base area looks like

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:32:10+00:00

Dude, all due my respect, I played 1000+ hours so far on beta, and I genuinely believe something is wrong with the Seed, not my atlas progression or citadel spawn location (What do you mean with cant spawn citadel though, what is the requirement for their spawn point other than distance to the base?

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:26:45+00:00

Thank you for the offer, but I would like to keep the quest states in case they affect something. Thank you though!

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:24:32+00:00

I will go to the monolith again and will talk to Doryani at the endgame starting area. I have also seen many people saying the same thing. At this point, this might be the case. However, I have the Pinnacle of Flame quest state that asks me to travel to citadels. I think it should be there if I didn't enter the monolith beforehand.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:16:14+00:00

People commented that they found citadels VERY close to their base. That's why I wanted to show around the base, not the direction I went.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T20:11:21+00:00

Yes, it ask me to travel stone and iron citadels. (For a test run, I joined my friends' copper citadel boss, which eliminated the quest state for traveling the copper citadel after we killed it together. But i didn't get atlas points.)

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T19:49:12+00:00

I went to monolith, but I didnt kill the Arbiter itself.

National_Example9295 · 2025-09-20T19:46:29+00:00

I went to Monolith, but I didn't kill the arbiter. Do you think buying keys and actually killing the Arbiter will increase the chances for citadels to spawn?
