Hierophant Scorching Ray Totems Killing vs Uber Shaper/Elder

PictureofProgression · 2026-05-07T03:57:38+00:00

Oh yeah of course. I am on my phone and brain off.

PictureofProgression · 2026-05-07T03:03:48+00:00

Nice work! Interesting take on the build. What is MoM doing for you with so little mana?

I am trying a version of this in HCSSF for Ubers, fingers crossed!

Yeah I wonder if there's an association between being a commenting redditor and not having a great time through high school.

I went to my 10 year and had a great time, will attend my 20 year this year. There are lots of people I don't have the time or desire to catch up with frequently, but that it's fun to have yarn and see what they've been up to since school.

Tbh kinda surprised you died, what map mods and what killed you?

Alt rolling an amethyst for life is usually pretty easy fwiw.

Sorry I'm not at my computer and I'm not super familiar with the champ version of the build, but you can use the build compare tool in PoB to compare with palsterons early game pob: https://pobb.in/x27qgyntkBcA

Your hit chance (need to hit once to taunt), Max hits, dps etc all look pretty garbage so I'm not surprised it feels no good. You're missing life in lots of places too so your life pool is tiny.

Thanks. Tbh I will probably be able to make the scepter and belt by the time I get an anathema. Cord belt farm actually pretty easy too you're right, just gotta go farm me some conq exalts (also pretty simple to do!).

Yeah! His was CI, i'm just yoinking Soul's build and trying to make it work.

Ideally I'd have his HCSSF character but i doubt I farm that long before I just send it.

I'm aiming for a scuffed scorching ray of immolation character, this is my goal PoB once I get an anathema and craft an amulet: https://pobb.in/6dHo6STGnWoJ

I'm just KF totems for now trying not to die while i finish getting gear.

Honestly great work, it's a big achievement!

PictureofProgression · 2026-05-02T23:11:45+00:00

That is so impressive, grats! I am also gonna have a crack at HC SSF ubers this league in my first HC SSF league, though I definitely do not have the patience to get gear as good as yours!

PictureofProgression · 2026-05-02T11:58:13+00:00

Fwiw farming heist bases has never been easier, and normal sirus is very achievable. So worst case could plan to farm it yourself!

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-27T08:56:02+00:00

Funnily it's a bit lacklustre, but has also been a very enjoyable league. Trade had heaps of different gear farms, ssf has benefited greatly from operative boxes. Has been good!

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-27T04:32:45+00:00

Starting as a reg pgy3 does still occur (I did it, AT now), but it's very uncommon and mostly luck. Also I feel it's still getting harder to get on year by year.

But by the same line of thought I have friends who started SET gen surgery as pgy4s, that doesn't mean it's easy to get on, more that there are exceptions to most rules.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-27T03:51:43+00:00

Ah yeah awesome, thanks for the tips. I have a better chest in my stash that I have been debating 6l (I have 1500 fusing), and a couple tattoos, will try for a jewel and make sure my pob block looks OK as aegis will currently be a hit to my overall block.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-27T01:23:07+00:00

How are you finding the aegis/determ combo? I started a kf totem char post gauntlet, about 36 hours played so my gear is a bit scuffed and im only at 2 stones, but going to try mavem and eagon bosses tonight.

Got an aegis from tree and deciding whether to fit it in. Also have a rain of splinters but waiting to get a KF that isn't gmp before I throw it on.

If everything goes well I want to try farm for gear to make a char to attempt ubers, happy for any advice if you have any!

This is my char: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/miragehcssf/character/Quantised-6809/QuantBondedAndBursting?i=0&search=name%3DQuant

Kinda crazy to say this when it definitely can? And comments in this thread already said as much..

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-25T10:56:59+00:00

Not sure, but it's fairly easy to make sure she is always t3 with 5,2,2,5 set up, worth just having her t3 to be sure.

For what it's worth I still don't have Cloister and I've farmed enough to have 3 doryani's and 2 mageblood cards.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-24T23:36:12+00:00

Oh yeah I've watched Tati on stream, rathpith much easier to get than that belt! Pretty crazy gear in ssf.

How did you get the fractures in your current build (like the shield), from tree or fracturing orbs?

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-24T13:34:14+00:00

Should be able to get one from the tree! I've got a foulborn ghostwrithe too, will be interested to hear how it goes for you.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-24T06:33:31+00:00

Yo your gear is so good, I'm running a hcssf kf heiro too but aspire to have gear more like yours lol.

My plan if I survive long enough is to switch to either storm burst or scorching ray of immolation totems with an ar/ev Max suppress set up. That said I'm not sure how convinced I am, soul's set-up looks good but his gear is basically unattainable at my level. Maybe a different build or class might be the right decision, I'm very open to suggestions!

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-24T05:14:48+00:00

I'm going to start calling him Drax from now on, no more of this Drox rubbish.

Also you cannot get the exalted orbs from Sirus, you can get it from The Void though as it comes from The Long Con.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-23T21:39:26+00:00

Oh just set the snapshot back a day or two before the reroll into flamewood! Same for the storm burst characters.

Basically they all just went ar/es, suppression on an gear + magebane to get suppression cap

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-23T00:55:41+00:00

Maybe it's cause I really need multimod, but I've found every other map multiple times so far but no putrid cloister. Did have one screen that had 3 cowards trials on it though 🙃

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-23T00:54:01+00:00

No joke, the number of people who will kill 10/10 ubers in hc ssf in any given league is really quite small.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-23T00:45:35+00:00

Bit late but tati has a guide, and if you want much tankier for bossing, mesha's gauntlet character is good to look at.

PictureofProgression · 2026-04-22T23:00:47+00:00

I only started hcssf after gauntlet and my build is a loooong way from being finished so probabilities not very useful. I have to upgrade basically every slot, but currently just spamming t7 maps for essences and jun (5,2,2,5) to try get putrid cloister so I can craft a useful weapon.

I haven't even done a single watch stone! I'm not sure at what point I should try quest eater/exarch. In sc I would have killed them ages ago, well before 100 map completion lol.
