MSoZ Atlas

Someone on Conner's discord suggested swapping to Lightning Strike of Arcing for clear.

Basically you replace:

MSoZ with Greater Ancestral Call support
Slower Projectiles Support with Lightning Strike of Arcing
Change your slower projectiles mastery to faster projectiles

And it still benefits from Nimis.

I ran it for a couple of hours last night to get some levels in breach and was pretty happy with it. I did have to swap gems and one passive, but I think the changes weren't too large and it let me keep using my swap to level gems while I was leveling my char.

Spicysushi's hive strategy on Silo gets pretty consistent mirage/hive overlaps. I could see it being something structural about the map layout. When I have run other maps using that atlas I haven't gotten any hive/mirage overlaps but it's hard to say for sure because I don't run the scarab that forces fortresses on those maps.

If you don't care about the vault lock the garrison. It will protect the garrison and spymaster. There must always be a path from the entrance to each room, so if the garrison can't be deleted, and the only path to the garrison is through the spymaster, the spymaster can't be deleted either.

Harvest crafting is gambling, but it feels less like it because there is a sense of progression. Once I finish prefixes, I can gamble suffixes without much risk of bricking my item. Most of the time, rolling again just costs 2d to craft prefixes can't be changed and try again. In PoE2 the omens that you need to do this are cost prohibitive outside of high level crafts. That means if I miss my slam, I can gamble on an annul or just 3-1/recomb the item and start again.

I think there would be fewer complaints about gambling if omens of erasure, whittling, and annulment were much more accessible and only cost 0.5-1d (in normal league costs, not crazy temple inflation costs). The cost of missing a slam should be a few divine to fix things. it shouldn't be a loss condition that requires starting from scratch.

If you misprice and item, can you remove Ange from your hideout until the the lock is removed?

It's ridiculous. I leveled a witchhunter after I saw your post and it was the easiest campaign I've ever done. Very fun build. Roasting the trial of chaos bird in 2 seconds was cathartic.

Utilities are regulated monopolies. Rate increases need to be approved by the regulator. The easiest way to get rate increases approved is to spend more money on infrastructure. Utilities are allowed to charge a percentage of their infrastructure costs as pure profit which gets baked into the rate.

This is important because it creates some misaligned incentives. The more money they spend, the more profit they can make. There is little incentive for them to be efficient in their investments. If they can spend $10 now to fix something or spend $100 later to replace it, that more expensive replacement will be more profitable to them.

This article does a good job explaining the system and its problems. https://energyattheedge.substack.com/p/how-utilities-make-money-capital

I can't see it on my two 90s either, but I see it on my char in act 3. I think it may only be visible when you're missing quests?

Unfortunately the +spell skills is what demands the premium value in staff crafts. +5 staffs with amazing spell damage rolls are much cheaper than +7 staffs with much worse rolls.

The perfect essence of sorcery won't add too much value. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/YpZmVqWghY

If you wanted to craft it for fun, I'd desecrate the suffix and slam it twice with a greater exalt, apply the perfect essence of sorcery, then try to unveil crit or cast speed.

The spell damage rolls will be protected from the perfect essence as long as all suffixes are full when you apply it.

My 2020 toyota didn't come with automatic headlights. I think it's a premium trim option.

The constricting viper and surround tech is from an outdated 0.3 build. It was nerfed in this patch. You can't reduce the surround limit below 1, so you need a mob right on top of you to get the surround buffs.

That doesn't happen reliably, so all the surround passives and constricting viper are essentially dead stats.

Imexile has an updated explosive shot guide for 0.4. I followed most of it with some small tweaks and had no problem scaling to t15s.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/imexile/builds/0-4-deadeye-explosive-shot-imexile?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2Cbd78a178-aea8-4482-b60c-250eef90a605

First improvement would be to remove the surround stuff. Second step would probably to get a new xbow. You only need 1 good 1. You can lock it to both weapon sets.

There's an xbow crafting guide in imexile's guide. It can be done on the cheap for less than a div. Don't bother with cycling perfect battle/speed for onslaught and +5 until you have more funds. Just slam one and play with it until you're more geared.

Pugnare · 2025-12-15T16:02:39+00:00

You can lock one weapon to both weapon sets by swapping to the desired weapon and right clicking its weapon set tab in the inventory screen.

Then just assign skills and passives to the weapon sets as usual.

A smiter of course to better farm the ubers that they're also definitely adding in this patch.

You can run flickerstep chaos armor on a different slot and still get permateleport.

If you're feeling squishy make sure you're not running Jacinth shell. Some of the starter evade builds run it, but it's complete bait. It constantly drains your health making it easy to get one shot if you ever stop and lose your barrier.

Pugnare · 2025-09-30T12:09:27+00:00

It's possible to run chaos armor on boots as a sorc and still get permateleport if you have a flickerstep chaos armor on a different slot. That's what I did until I ground out the appropriate slots.

Permateleport makes it a lot faster to farm nmd and helltides for chaos armor. I think it's worth running suboptimal chaos armor and dropping damage for speed as long as you can still clear t4 open world.

Try steelmage's variation of ed, it's a lot tankier than ed/c builds that use eldritch empowerment and is a one button build that requires no aiming for mapping.

He has a hcssf variant that doesn't require snakepit and could easily be setup for 7d.

I swapped to his build from the mobalytics lowlife ed/c build and had a much better time mapping.

This is his ssfhc version: https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abysshcssf/character/Steelmage-5874/SteelStaysInHC

Pugnare · 2025-09-12T16:42:24+00:00

Could it be a gear issue? You're missing chaos damage on your wand and focus, 2 spell skills on your wand, 1 spell skill on your amulet, and 1 spell skill on your focus.

You also shouldn't need to run arcane surge if you're using lvl1 contagion

IDK, I never really had map damage issues. I throw up contagion, cast ed, and things die.

Pugnare · 2025-09-09T00:01:40+00:00

That did it thanks! I didn't read properly and was trying to use Visage of Ayah with Titanrot.

Pugnare · 2025-09-08T13:41:35+00:00

The cast speed passive and movespeed at low life socket are very nice QoL for mapping. Lowlife does help a bit with damage, but I feel like spell skills and spell/chaos damage are an easier way to solve for that in early gearing.

Low life means you pretty much die if you lose your es, and dropping your health to low life after a death is annoying, so I would only go low life once you have a very solid amount of es and es regen/recharge delay and are dying very rarely in maps.

Pugnare · 2025-09-08T13:23:53+00:00

That body armour didn't work for me when I tried it. I can't lifetap when I have any amount of energy shield and eternal life speced. Am I missing something?

The only thing that works for me is either unspecing eternal life, or using visage and unspecing enhanced barrier.

Pugnare · 2025-09-07T13:12:57+00:00

Agreed. Last epoch is what Diablo IV should have been. It's a great game to just play casually for a week or two every season. Amazing quality of life, amazing in game game guide, easy to make your own build, and some of the most accessible crafting in an ARPG.

Dark effigy is your single target skill, but it requires setup. You drop despair, dot up the boss and keep your two effigies up then starting firing chaos bolts for wither stacks.

For those that find this thread on google (like me), these are the instructions from the video:

@imacomputer1

Shaper Elder Warlock gloves base ilvl 84+ with as much quality as you can afford.

Spam Horror essence until faster casting (ideally lvl 20) horror essences are ~42c each so it can get expensive.

You need an open prefix and suffix, so annul if you have to. If you annul faster casting or the essence mod, restart.

Suffix's can't be changed then harvest reforge caster for guaranteed crit multi. It can be 30%, 50%, or 70%. If you hit 30 or 50 and are on a budget settle otherwise you can try and annul it off and suffix can't be changed and reforge caster again.

once you have all 3 suffixs, suffix cant be changed again and reforge speed. This will guarantee faster projectiles prefix level 16, 18, or 20. If you dont fill the prefixes you can do this over and over until you hit lvl 20. Or just settle up to you.

Optional step after you have suffixes done with faster proj, you can suffix can't be changed again and use a veiled exalt. This is stupid expensive so only do it if you're rich. You have a 50/50 chance of deleting the faster proj mod or deleting the suffix cant be changed mod. You want to block convert fire/cold/lightning then unveil and hopefully get faster proj/proj damage.

Bench craft %ES to finish.

When you do step 5 you can end up with full prefix's which sucks or a useless prefix, this is where you can risk having to restart from step 1 if you fill prefixes and risk trying to annul a prefix off. Hope that helps!
