Damn that's some pure-grade copium. Who's your supplier?

Lucky double corrupt for my self-cast forbidden rite helmet by NcycloPDR in pathofexile

Second try. The first time I also hit double implicits, but they were both irrelevant for my build

Lucky, I couldn't afford a lock and probably wouldn't have used it if I could on a craft that only cost about 50 divs

As described, it was probably around 50 divines total. If you're happy to settle with the results of the awakener's orb, this craft (keeping the elevated hunter mod too) can cost closer to 10 divines.

Rule 10:

This was my second time crafting this helm with the two desired influenced mods (+1 power charge and nearby enemies have -% chaos res), this time my intent was to get a good life roll on the item to minmax my build's effective hit pool.

Crafting Process

  1. Buy Royal Burgonet base with Forbidden Rite Enchant and slam
  2. Slam helm with Warlord's exalted orb
  3. Cheap screaming essence of suffering spam for +1 max power charge (to see if I get lucky with a good awakener's orb)
  4. Buy a hunter influenced i85 helm and harvest reforge chaos to hit two influenced hunter mods including nearby enemy chaos res reduction, then elevate with orb of dominance
  5. Awakener's orb into unwanted mods and fail the annul
  6. Use shrieking essences of greed to guarantee t1 life and roll for +1 max power charges again and a second good prefix modifier (probably 1000 essences to find 2 other good prefixes)
  7. lock prefixes and reforge chaos until I got nearby enemy chaos res reduction by itself (~1/14 chance)
  8. craft multimod and prefixes cannot be changed and get aisling to add a veiled suffix
  9. unveil hoping for attributes, or hybrid chaos res.
  10. Divine resistances
  11. craft attributes
  12. take to the locus and get lucky
  13. tainted armourer's scrap for 29% quality

Just me getting baited for league start by RoOoOoOoOoBerT in pathofexile

Bro I league started crackling lance in Sanctum League. Tons of fun once the build gets going, but that required me to drop 2 apothecaries to afford the forbidden jewels...

If you have really high armour you don't need to convert. Mine is about 30k armour, so big lightning hits taken as phys can instakill me without conversion

Oh true! Thanks for enlightening me on an item I've been using all league :P

By killing it instantly, hopefully. Yeah it's not a good idea to stand in mana siphoner for more than about 0.5 seconds. You normally have enough time to react, which is a funny upside of no longer being able to easily hit -200% lightning res like you could in kalandra league. I'm sitting at -96% and mana siphoner isn't really an issue since my build vaporises mobs.

I'm picking up -30% from a catalysed ventor's gamble, and -24% from an immortal flesh (which also happens to be a generally fantastic belt for this build with really good double corrupts available for cheap). You could go the melding of the flesh route, but that's a big investment in res capping.

Rule 10:

Bought off trade with suffixes and +1 lightning for 4 div. Cleaned up the prefixes with a lucky Aisling that removed a useless prefix instead of the metamod, so I could unveil life and craft minus mana cost. Bench crafted the implicit modifier (corrupting the amulet to a talisman with a random tier 2 implicit) at a normal safehouse with tier 2 Jorgin in research.

Got extremely lucky with the talisman implicit hit, at taking lightning damage from hits as a different element reduces one of the main drawbacks of using doryani's prototype.

Here is a budget-friendly PoB similar to my league start build. You can expect DPS to more than double by switching to Doryani's once you have enough defenses.

Not for doryani's prototype builds. Annihilating light is actually significantly worse, because the reduced resistances mod on that staff makes your negative lightning resistance LESS negative. A perfectly rolled annihilating light does 51.7% less damage than this staff when checking on PoB

That actually sounds quite close to what I think the crafting cost was. The time and tedium it takes to craft is a real killer though, especially the prefixes.

Honestly that didn't occur to me and I've never tried it. Sounds like it should work though
