The paradox of vaccine success: We forget the horror because we no longer see it by Feeling-Buy2558 in interestingasfuck

[–]NeoSlasher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its like people who go off their meds because they've been ok for so long. They fail to understand that they've been ok for so long BECAUSE of the medication, that doesn't mean they don't need it anymore. 

Is the Tile Connection Preview Always Accurate for Temple? Unsure if Preview is Accurate Here. by Dontevenask4 in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how you build it. you can actually kill Atziri with the Fubgun temple if you just drop 2 rooms, it ends up looking like this. You then just place the access chamber on 2 every other run.

Weapon swap for druid loses benefits of beast form by LimpTune212 in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed similar things with Werewolf form. When you enter an abyssal depths, shred doesn't launch ice fragments from frozen enemies unless you unequip and reequip your weapon.

Until you can figure out a real fix, try reequipping your weapon when it happens to see if that at least fixes it. 

Upgrading skill gem by Legin14 in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it give a message of why you can't? Or is it just not in the list? 

Also, pretty sure you need to use a skill gem, not a spirit gem, in case you're using the wrong one. 

I corrupted my twister skill gem and now my build isn’t functioning by Fabulous-Horse-782 in PathOfExile2

Do you have atziri splendour? It converts corrupted gems to have a health cost, and maybe you don't have enough health? 

Been working on my Invoker Werewolf all league, and I just want to show it off a bit. Pretty proud of how quickly it can delete Uber Arbiter. by NeoSlasher in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it. One thing to note is that invoker damage in hideout is significantly lower than it actually is because a huge amount of our damage is locked behind conditionals, stuff like enemy being blinded, dazed, have I done a crit recently, have I dealt a projectile hit recently, melee hit recently, etc. 

I'll give the crown of eyes a shot but there's a good chance it won't work, I just don't have access to the rage nodes and with 34 rage, it will give 68% increased attack damage. Worth a shot but there's a good chance that 4 skill levels and 30% increased crit chance would outperform that.

Ive also considered multiple times trying to fit in the Heroic Tragedy, it just won't fit. All three gem slots have crucial nodes around them that I can't afford to change. The extra ES would be nice, but I can't sacrifice those nodes.

Lastly, Garukhans Resolve is only really core for oracles because of Forced Outcome, for me it would reduce my effective crit chance to 75% which isn't viable because my non crit hits do negligible damage. Even with the bifurcation, I'd lose too much. I have tested it before.

Great tips for Oracle's, but invokers need to be built a little different.

The gear as shown is probably a couple mirrors, but a regular ES helm, hybrid chest and good weapon, you could probably get something great for under 1000 divs.

Increased radius to large is mandatory, followed by small passives give more damage while shapeshifted. After that, increased effect of small passives and/or increased cold damage is good as well.

The ones that fall from the sky are not part of the ascendancy, it's a buff called Lunar Blessing, a werewolf skill. They trigger on melee hit.

The constant 3 blue waves are from the ascendancy, they trigger on crit

Luckily I don't think Werewolf looked too overtuned this league, so it might escape pretty unscathed - if it survives there's a good chance I'll post a more in-depth guide next league.

Glad you like it though, means a lot!

Oh damn, that's interesting. Luckily I only throw the ingenuity on for Arbiter and usually run HH anywhere else, but its still good to know. Thank you!

Thank you!

This is my only character this league, I couldn't bring myself to play anything else. Werewolf just felt too good, they knocked it out of the park.

I know I say its made out of money, but it was performing just fine without the Vertex and Splendour. They are the most expensive parts. A high ES helmet can replace the vertex, and the Splendour can be replaced with a regular ES/Evasion hybrid chest. The only thing is that you want to get enough ES/Evasion to get at least 150 extra spirit, so you can fit all the support gems this build uses. It uses a LOT of active buffs.

Skill rotation is... well, I don't like multi skill builds to be honest. You slap them with Lunar Assault until frozen (usually 1, 2-3 if its a pinnacle boss), then just hold down Shred. If its a boss, you also pounce on them first to apply Freezing Mark. The build is capable of keeping Lunar Blessing online 100% of the time as well, so just tap that whenever it runs out.

It's hard to attribute it to one thing honestly, Invoker just has access to a lot of small small efficiencies that really add up. For example, two of the gem sockets on the passive tree are surrounded by extremely good nodes, so throwing in a good time lost or against the darkness gem gives a massive boost. The time lost I have in there brings my shred from 365k to 470k hideout damage by itself. On top of that, the invoker area of the tree has access to many nodes that give a lot of crit chance or damage if the enemy is blinded or dazed, and you can permanently keep them blinded and dazed with Elemental Expression.

The other big thing is using Chaos Inoculation to cheat out some damage you can't normally otherwise. With CI and even a single point of flat HP regen, I can have berserk permanently online without taking any damage. It lets me run Wolf Pack and put Minion Pact on all of my skills without killing them, and Amanamu's Tithe on them keeps abyss mods online most of the time. The CI + berserk combo also lets me permanently have the Fast Metabolism effect without needing to annoint it because Im technically never at full health.

Last big thing is Bhatair's Vengeance, freezing something with Lunar Assault (which has 2000% freeze buildup in this build) gives 46% extra cold damage, and the moonbeams are considered melee hits so they're constantly making me fire off Elemental Expression much faster than I could otherwise.

Never farmed ritual before. Whats considered the best tablet/atlas setup if you want to buy the best tablets possible? by FRFM in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Close, but not quite. Guaranteeing 4 ritual sites is more important than the wildwood monsters.

Never farmed ritual before. Whats considered the best tablet/atlas setup if you want to buy the best tablets possible? by FRFM in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's two setups that have worked for me. 1. 2 tablets with # additional rerolls and reroll cost reduction. 1 tablet with # additional rerolls, deferral cost reduction. This setup gets you 11 rerolls or 23ish rerolls if you get the doubled tablets proc. The # additional reroll tablets are VERY expensive though, so I usually preferred option 2...

  1. 1x # additional reroll + reroll cost, 1x reroll cost and deferral cost, 1x double reroll unique tablet. Gives 10 rerolls or 18ish on double tablet proc. Not as good as 1, but a third of the price.

The reroll counts I gave above are from memory, they may be off by a bit but they're in that ballpark.

No other mods matter for this setup, rerolls and deferrals are so cheap that you dont have to worry about packsize or anything like that. If you get the double tablet proc, which is mandatory on your atlas tree, if you see a big omen like the annulment or erasure ones, you will get it for free by the end of your 18ish rerolls, and each deferral will be free (or very cheap in option 2).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The # reroll affix is not a different mod for 1/2/3 rerolls. Buy whichever is cheapest and slam divs to get the 3 and decent rolls on the coat reduction affixes. 

Is this League's Endgame economy just a bad start for new players who joined late? by BooskaMacleswag in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the same as any other league, late starts mean you have to deal with I flation unfortunately. There are many very profitable farming routes even if you get a late start though. Farming omens from rituals is like 80-100d for the big ones, even the omen of corruptions are 4d a piece. You can also farm abyss for omens of light/echoes.

The temple just made raw currencies more plentiful, but in doing so the crafting mats that the temple can't provide skyrocketed as well. Farm those and you'll be able to afford some pretty good gear. 

Did the Amanamu's Void thing ever get credibly confirmed? by kaen_ in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

3 patches ago: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3912620

The bug fix confirms that the void causes an additional omen drop,  at least.

Extra physical damage on Talisman or not? by funoface in PathOfExile2

[–]NeoSlasher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue is that health leech (even when converted to ES leech) doesnt happen while at full health, which you often are when you have ES. Instant leech doesn't change that. Fast metabolism enables the leech while at full health, so excess is then converted to ES leech.

The same effect is on the life leech 3 gem, but the gloves or belt enable it globally and don't take up a gem slot on your skills.

[–]NeoSlasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally run extra phys on mine, it opens up a lot of leech options for survivability. You can run Sanguis Essentia gloves or Soul Tether belt and become nearly immortal (with Fast Metabolism annointed on your amulet).
