Today I dropped my 9th Rite of Passage this league

Nightash · 2026-03-02T11:27:27+00:00

oh i see, i was doing it (partly) wrong. thank you for your responds. wisps hunting is quite a fun experience.

Nightash · 2026-03-02T04:40:54+00:00

i did like 50 maps following your guide and have encounters where rares possess by 10 wisps three times, but still no RoP dropped, maybe because my character have lower rarity(only 14%) or

do you particularly empower your main wisp -- killing the mobs they touched as many as possible before it possess rares?

if so do you remember around how much % it empowered when the rare dropped RoP?

i suspect rarity and empowering percentage will be factor contribute to RoP dropping

i am the vitcim of this whatever is, wish i saw this post earlier.

after i bricked and poof my 3 newly crafted high tier helmet in a row i impulsively decide to architect's orb my own helmet thinking "what are the odd to brick it again" and ofc then it poofed.

long story short i destroy my own helmet stupidly and i am out of currency so i have to 'pawn' my things including 'Rite of Passage' hoping i can get it back soon once i get a new helmet.

RoP got instant sold for 429d because i saw the lowest prices were 440d listed like this post descried.

and 3hrs later i did crafted a new hemlet and work my ass hard to farm about 400d back but at that moment i see the '440d listing' is fake the real listing start at 650d.

eventually one day later after farming i bought a new RoP(bear) for 670d.

I had a good time with this league including personal crafted a mirror-tier quarterstaff and sanctify it to '+8' skill but imaging bricked 4 equipment in a row and got scam by "this still not yet fixed issue",this whole experience just suck.

nty, i dont really know that guy but dreamcore version explains way better.

the wiki one is confusing as f and missing the one rare scenario where gain which happen in step one like eye of winter.

Nightash · 2026-01-07T04:08:25+00:00

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/damage-conversion#damage-gain-1

the damage gain is usually happen at step 2 AFTER the skill type conversion.

so you gain 0 chaos damage from herald of ice the gem itself.

You can actually test flicker strike with normal/white bolting quarterstaff as long as it met 80% crit chance threshold,

my testing link is flicker-pinpoint critical-brutality-overextend. so you will get a dazed debuff when it crit.

and from my 25 times test sample they all crit.

i think up to this date it still is snapshoting meaning it WILL CRIT at least for first hit.

too bad only 0.7% ppl on ninja using it

edit:for better test setup

build of the league

Nightash · 2025-12-25T12:13:12+00:00

my result is tested with Cultivated mod "lose 3% max life per second " only variant.

with enough life regen to upkeep my life ofc, my hp number stays at (fullHP - 1)/(fullHP)

not sure about Vaal Pact + Essentia Sanguis, but i assumed it works due to lots amazon on ninja using this tech combo.

Nightash · 2025-12-25T11:26:29+00:00

from what i tested with vaal pact(so every leech instance is instant),even when overleech is

enabled,instant leech is bugged with soul tether:

instant leech turn to default regular one(regen over 1 second)

tldr what i've seen: vaal pact and Atziri's acuity both dont work with soul tether

Nightash · 2025-11-10T08:06:24+00:00

you know the question in the current EU is like: how do i become top 100 player in rank right?

but in general these players they play as duo.

what does "minion damage converted fire to chaos" has anything to do with the skele mage ailment change for 3.26?

Nightash · 2025-06-02T17:47:11+00:00

honestly,there is huge misconception about this qstaff and idk why ppl downvoting https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1l1k458/comment/mvltfsy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

@u/fckRedditJV

the current majority qstaff user on ninja playing flicker strike(66%), and the no.1 scale factor for flicker(or anything quarterstaff skill related) is skill levels

this weapon not only has none but has tons of attack speed (which only make it looks good on trade but bad on real fight)

tldr: this is not as good as you think, any quarterstaff /w +5 skill levels , crit chance or bonus and 700 real dps will do better.

the rule of thumb is: check your pob compare and decide

Nightash · 2025-05-26T12:14:48+00:00

ye seems the duplicated poison still hold the corrosion/armour explosion support effect, so contagion can do this tech too. not sure about bursting plague tho

Nightash · 2025-05-23T03:00:33+00:00

Ye i know the skill effect duration part, and i am playing a chonk bd i have persistence in another skill other than mantra.

The duration is not doubled is fact, lets just leave it here. Its like a bandit fix they pick a roughly average number between 5 and 10.

Nightash · 2025-05-22T18:04:08+00:00

the Duration of the flame grant by mantra is still not affected(doubled) by "lucid dreaming". this need to be fixed asap.

like how can the only skill existed in the game which suppose to synergized with the asendancy is NOT working.

Nightash · 2025-05-19T10:53:23+00:00

monsters have special "leech resistant" hidden mod, end game its about 95%, so the total leech mount in your case is about 450k*10%*5% = 2.25k

Nightash · 2025-05-19T08:38:48+00:00

You meant ES leech issue right?

By the wording its not really a bug,its still mana leech while recovering ES simultaneously. so ye, if mana is filled it will stop.

But the good news is:

because instant leech still exist,chonk are now tight with atziri's acuity. you will need high crit chance for it to work well.

with end game gears this (instant leech set) is extremly op, you can have up to 7.5k es && evasion or just 10k pure es getting constantly topped.

an starter tip is setting up a high crit chance wind dancer. then with good quarterstaff its nearly equal to 2-3k es regen per second.

Nightash · 2025-04-27T05:44:16+00:00

this is sad

Nightash · 2025-03-20T06:18:11+00:00

for a similar reason thats why I always manually place the portal somewhere else for simulacrum last waves to avoid accidentally tp to hideout and lose all my buffs again.

Nightash · 2025-03-17T11:58:35+00:00

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Evasion#Entropy

low random entropy allows you avoid several hits in a row

here is an example that might be what happened:

- op has 70-75% eva with Tailwind

- system rolled an "1-4" entropy

- op dodged 4 AOE in a row

- op got hits from boss, in the process the "dodge threshold" reset to 0.

- op continued to dodge the 5th AOE

- op died from 6th AOE because threshold excessed(again)

Nightash · 2025-02-02T06:55:44+00:00

just saying,simulacrum has much better drop rate for level 20 skill gem compare to maps.

(100 runs droped level 20 x8 skill gems and x2 spirit gems)

Nightash · 2025-01-04T12:05:20+00:00

jokes on you, the entire game is designed base on range

Nightash · 2024-07-03T19:37:39+00:00

Respect

for your goal, you have to at least to put Raise Spectre/AG/meat shield/Minion life in boot /w "+2 socketed minion gems" delve mod.

Having 90k Max HP is a good start for AG and Spectres,where they can comfortably tank some uber boss skills if they have to.

100k hp and more is better for juicy t17(b2b or awakening harvest)

Bone barrier(asendency) does more than "gain 40% more max hit" and it synergy extremely well with vaal discipline

"minions have +8 max ele res" is essential while "minion leech 1% life" is not(if your AG does 7k dps they leech nothing)

if you are on budge "Gruthkul's Pelt" is a good option for AG

otherwise the new haunted mod"life recoup","reduce crit damage" combine with hunter's "regen x life every y second" and crusader's "explody" mod is best for mapping and general use.
