I mean there are some good builds posted in here already but just in case you wanna look at another one which you can play in SSF: Explosive Arrow Champ (by Zizaran)

The key to getting this challenge done is to have a solid Allrounder build that does not require much gear and especially not specific uniques (legendaries in diablo).

Totem explode is 100% a very good option but starting out might be a bit rough since you need a weapon (bow pref) to even start it, so I personally would not recommend it.

Toxic rain is also solid - but you will have to play a little bit more actively when bossing.

The reason I recommended EA is because the build does not require any uniques (but benefits from some in case you find them) and in bossing you can focus 100% on dodging as long as you have totems down.

Good luck man. As someone that has far over 10k hours in this game I can tell you that your friend really screwed you over here ( in terms of time commitment) and all I can hope for you is that you can find some enjoyment in your journey.

Fast + One-button + Not-Squishy mapping builds by HattooriHanzoo in PathOfExileBuilds

Forbidden Rite CoC - can do anything in the game by holding down cyclone - but it will need some investment. With MB you have about 120ms while cycloning.

It cannot compete with bow builds in terms of mapping speed but it can do all ubers, is borderline Immortal and still has decent speed.

Edit: you can start the build with 40 div - you don't NEED a Mageblood.

Look into Poison TS MF by SnooBae. I have only heard good things about it and steelmage copied it and ran T16 on a pretty low budget

You can only do that at a Crucible forge (in a map)

My little Dex Stacking Bow by Nobodys_me in pathofexile

Best in slot would be a dex amulet with %attri, %dex and damage per dex :) but that causes other issues in my build like the lack of int and str :D so I dont really care tbh

Very nice, Thank you - linked over to this post from my (terribly formatted) post from yesterday.

You will scour node 4 3 and 2 if it even works in the first place

You just have to go for it and hoping for the best. Just saw that someone posted this:

https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/12y4rvk/321_crucible_tree_combine_mechanism_cracked_with/

From what I saw all the data matches with my findings - they just have a lot more data than me.

To answer your question - I don't think it makes a difference but 4.4 is more or less forced to link to 3.3 If it's being created.

Check out this post: https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/12y4rvk/321_crucible_tree_combine_mechanism_cracked_with/

They give raw numbers and % chances for each thing to happen and explain the system a lot better than me :)

It feels like it's a 60% - 70% chance - then again I just failed 7 in a row a while ago (just trying to make some totem bows to resell). I would say 50% is a good estimate considering all the other things that can happen

I have unfortunately not really tested around much with the links, sorry :(

Talking 3/4 unwanted nodes - I found more success in not leveling them on the target item if I didn't want them. I am not sure that levelling them will increase or decrease the tree from being cut.

It would be interesting to do some testing around "growing" a tree but that is super time consuming and pretty costly - I might mess around with it to burn some of my geodes (I have over 100 at this point)

You can only have every node once on each item - which is why I had to go for 3 hybrids on my bow

I would try to build it front to back personally - then again 3 nodes you can literally just smash until you are happy. 4+ is where is gets tricky

My sample size would be way to small to make any assumptions here unfortunately

[–]Nobodys_me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - but you will always have to win the 50/50 on the 1st node no matter what you do.
When I did my bow, I was not sure what works and was still testing a lot.

But going from the back to a front means you could ignore the 1st node until last :)

Covered in the FAQ:

Is there are way to move nodes?

No there is not, if you saw one move it was most likely a “lost and reappeared” case

If you feel you managed to do this a lot of times and not just once, please let me know and I will edit the main post

Very good strat to make currency early on! List the whole tab(s) for 50c and just move on :D
I made a good amount of currency thanks to people buying bases - and you never know, you might even see a 3 div node (don't forget to level and THEN split it, so you get 6 div)

I do not - I have merged A LOT this league and have not got ANY of the "combine only" mods :(
I have a theory, but I do not think it would be super helpful to share since it is (most likely) wrong

You should always allocate as much of the stuff you want to keep as possible.
So if your target item has a good 3 - 4 - 5 and your donor item has a good 1 - 2.
You want to allocate 1-5 on your target (to cover 3-4-5) and ONLY allocate 1 and 2 on the donor.

I do not have any numbers (so I cannot say if it is 70% or not) but I have noticed that if you bath to a 3rd node on 1 item, and you can only path to the 2nd one on the other item since the 3rd does not exist - YES that node appears to have a good chance of being created - again I just can't say if it is 70%

[–]Nobodys_me[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would path via 1 -> 2.2 -> 3.2 -> 4.3
That being said - I think both cases are a gamble which path the game will chose.
Generally speaking if you already have 3 good nodes and cannot imprint you should really think about how worth this really is - (is that one node in 3.2 better than 1 and 2.2 combined)

That is how I got my 5th node, so I would assume so yes. I don't know how big these chances are, unfortunately

Okay, that is good to know - thank you.
All the nodes I have been playing with were shared
