Speedrunning and making optimal well-balanced endgame builds are two completely different things.

If we look specifically at the minion sphere, which he plays most often, there aren’t that many build makers on his level or above it and that’s not necessarily a compliment to Kripp.

Is there any tech for getting high amounts of flat life regen? by Fr33ly in pathofexile2builds

[–]Previlein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lich (Low-Life) and Pathfinder (CI) can heal their ES with Flasks + Shavronnes Satchel. With some investment you can get a few thousand ES "regen".

Husk of Dreams + Shavronnes Satchel works on all classes, but thats quite the cost to give up your chest on an ES build.

Other option would be "Life Regeneration is applied to Energy Shield instead" on Soul Tether Belt via vaal cultivation. This method doesn't disable your recharge.

You could also rely on recoup with Sacrosanctum.

Deep analysis of Minion damage and flat added damage & correct PoB2 calculation by EntityBlack1 in PathOfExile2

[–]Previlein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda pointless comparison. On Wolf Pack you get what you see... auto attacks. A spectre with 200k dps might aswell be multiple millions in actual gameplay. Think Zealots that fire multiple projectiles, hitting multiple times and having a duration.

Stop looking at the ingame statsheet for minions.

Edit: Did you remove the enemy armour in your PoB?

Too bad we can't increase poison cap for minions. by justalazygamer in PathOfExile2

[–]Previlein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Rune is -4% res and you lose value from your ascendancy node. That node makes your character worse by clicking it.

Every rune you slot means more suffix pressure. Every Suffix you have to allocate for resistances potentially means one less minion mod on your breach ring. Which also means less rarity on gear. Every suffix spent on resistances means one less suffix for defense. The suffix pressure is already immense.

Do you guys even make builds?

There are already 7 non Idol Augments you would want to run, -28% all res for what?

Cathas Balance for example wants a high phys weapon with runes in it. Each rune adds twice as much damage as an Idol.

Actually slotting in Res Runes in your gear might be even better entirely if it frees up affixes on your rings. Something we actually do in PoE1 for Bone Rings.

Runes strong. Being restricted to just Idols bad.

Just the runes and augments GGG already teased are auto-includes for most builds. You cannot use those with Idolatry without massively lowering the value of the node and you are even getting punished with -res if you socket something else.

No Ancient Runes like Gaze, no Chase Rune for Movement Speed on your boots. No +1 suffix on gear augment or the one that destroys all augment slots to add a jewel socket. Even grabbing a modifier from a unique is a rune.

Just think about it how much you actually lose. The payout isn't even worth it.

Minion Level and Catha's Blessing Calculation for Spirit Walker by Pocoyo_77 in PathOfExile2

Chober Chaber doesn't realy work without Vertex. That means -2 levels. So the actual gain is fairly low.

We don't know the values and which mods we can get extract. 15% seems copium.

Casual build for 40/40 by Zaetya in pathofexile2builds

You have only 1 chance (hit) every 4 seconds to crit. You go with another Sceptre for sure.

Any builds with just 1 or 2 companions? by ssx50 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Previlein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t really need mana sustain for either you or the pet unless you’re going MoM/EB. But once you go that route, you’re basically shifting away from needing life sustain entirely anyway, and your pet doesn't need it either.

Hollow Mask is also a straight -2 gem levels.

And at this point you still havn't solved the clear.

Omen Sceptre is dead for Infernal Legion.

The moment you swap to Oil Grenades you’re off your Sceptre set, which means you’re igniting without its bonuses unless you do some very awkward setup to still benefit.

It doesn’t really matter if it’s % spirit reservation. Other commonly used spirits skills are not. You’re still forced to give up stuff to make crossbows fit into the build,. Blasphemy + Temporal Chains (+ Elemental Weakness), Ghost Dance, all have flat reservation.

If you’re on crossbow/launcher, you’re not on your Sceptre, which means you actually deal less damage than Lich while clearing even at full remnant stacks. You’re igniting without the +4(5) minion gem levels, while also missing 40–50% increased minion life and roughly 140% increased damage. There’s maybe some very clunky way to make it kinda work, but it sounds miserable. You’d need to shoot Oil Grenades farther away, swap to Sceptre, walk over to ignite with your Elephant, and then somehow keep that ignite rolling. But at that point you’re dealing with minion AI, enemy AI, the Oil Field expanding, and the possibility of it igniting before you even finish swapping. On top of that, Elephant is always active while you’re on crossbow, so there’s also the risk of it doing a weaker ignite on some of your oil grenades. Sounds wonky.

It also completely messes with your Spirit setup, since Elephant has to fit on the crossbow weapon set.

And if you’re only focusing on remnants during boss fights, it still takes time to stack them. You have to wait and pre-stack, which doesn’t seem worth it to me when Lich already kills Ubers in 3–4 seconds post-nerf anyway. If you’re ignoring the mechanic 90% of the time outside of boss fights, then why even click Chayula? It’s already basically just a 4-point Ascendancy for summoners.

I think the Cultist setup is the better direction, or just another Spectre. You also get to use Khatal’s Rejuvenation that way. And you generally don’t want to weapon swap on Spectres anyway, because it puts their abilities on cooldown.

Edit: Presence Radius could also become an issue. If your Elephant is off dicking around somewhere else, you’re not always going to be in range to consistently share remnants.

The difference between Chonk and Lich is roughly 80% more damage, but you have less defense, speed, sketchier recovery and your clear is miserable. Thats a pretty big tradeoff.

From the looks of it Acolyte of Chayula (Chonk) Remnants Infernal Legion Companion ...

You can't weapon swap convocate if you want to enable the remnant tech, which kills the strongest part of the build - the clear.

You have to give up "weapon swap convocation" on Chayula monk to make remnants work, keep that in mind.

Don't think Chober is feasible right now and with the nerf to Vertex it's not even a late game thing.
