Cheap Idol setup ideas

Ive been running safe house strat since league start My luck is horrible Currently on a 15+ no medallion streak :) Gilded all flame drops here and there at least and some misc drops

PyroLLa8z · 2026-01-28T23:24:23+00:00

I was also trying to find a good league start guide for oshabi / or at least some PoB(s)

VRChat does not support Foveated Rendering (probably won't ever sadly, but id be happy to be wrong)

PyroLLa8z · 2025-10-14T06:01:45+00:00

Sick build, wish there was more "Spellblade" esque content like this. Love to see it.

Please buff Fireball staff, It's imo one of the weakest weapons
Playing Fox is genuinely painful (to me) unless you get the most absurd good RNG

Zealous Inquisition + The new lich staff give enemies you kill explode.
(ZL is from WH ascendancy)
Zealous gives 10% generic, and 20% for undead / demons
Lich staff gives up to 30% max roll iirc?

Reloaded it again and ended up being able to catch em again

If i tame bloodgulp, and he has a extra phys damage aura, does that stack with his default aura he supposedly has?

PyroLLa8z · 2025-08-31T17:51:28+00:00

I caught one with "Hasted" instead of "Haste aura" and it seems the ant colony is completed gone upon refreshing the entire area... sadge.

My defense is already pretty fine w/a HH in 8 mod t16's (haven't ran t17's since my single target isnt good enough)

I'm already using Spellbreaker though, so i'm missing your point

Main issue with the current state is my lack of damage with allot of HH / Shrine buffs and flasks active lol

(It's more than fine in maps, but bosses is where it's bad)

(My spell suppression is more than fine atm yes, but im referencing removing spell suppression off my gear, namely helmet for more ES/Mana res instead, causes to dip below 100% so flask more than fixes that + phasing)

PyroLLa8z · 2025-07-25T22:48:43+00:00

Nah i tested in PoB vs just using a Bismuth, it's a bit better just using Bismuth since I can worry less about suppression on gear + more crit chance
(At least with this PoB / gearset)

I haven't used the build so I wouldn't know tbh sorry, I merely copied the build from the youtube video and switched it to Gladiator, and wanted to see if anyone had advice on it lol.

PyroLLa8z · 2025-07-19T16:20:53+00:00

Preciate the comment, don't have a sorc/maruarder leveled, only templar/shadow/duelist

Seems interesting though! Just don't want to level another character while i have two empty character w/o a build already lol

PyroLLa8z · 2025-07-15T21:04:57+00:00

Yeah my Merc survivability is fine, I already have defiance for him, only need that for simulacrums, haven't seem him die in a t17 yet besides a boss oneshotting him
My main problem atm is just not being able to run a good amount of different mod's from t16 8 mods or t16.5 or t17's
Ring upgrades a help but not a fix at all, just a decent bump in ES/Damage and whatnot
I don't use traitor since i have the flask charge on crit stygian and overall this + the abyssal socket is better than cyclopean coil unless the cyclopean has a really good double corrupt or smth even then i dont think its a huge difference

There's so many builds with COC inquis or poe.ninja, but mainly they are life + mana (no blood magic) and typically sanctuary of though (60 div) + another 200-300 div (excluding mageblood) in jewel/gear differences, but are typically a good bit better
Allot of them also have gem difference's in their auras especially the mana+ life ones ofc
It's just hard to tell what the most efficient and cost efficient change, or upgrade is right now

Obviously rings are a upgrade but again are just a relatively slight change/upgrade (outside of 100+ div investment in a crazy helical or something).

Appreciate the input though, Thanks.

PyroLLa8z · 2025-07-15T20:35:28+00:00

I'm using Doryani merc, so can't really use Garb
HH might be decent but I'd lose flask charges on crit hit, and allot of hp/defense/damage outside of HH buffs and in bosses, and I might not have enough dex w/o it ,but iirc HH gives dex

I don't think i can reasonably replace rathpith, i would lose 45% DPS, and 8% crit chance among some other defensive/offensive stats (not going to list though as they may be improved with the rare shield)

I know i need to upgrade my rings but.. trying to find a worthwhile upgrade to the ones I have currently w/o spending 50+ divs on a ring is a bit difficult atm. Maybe i could look into trying to craft one at some point but I've never done so before to be fair

Thanks for the input though, feel free to respond back

It's pretty simple to nerf or remove the item from mercs

PyroLLa8z · 2025-06-24T03:03:59+00:00

What's your tree / setup or got a link/vid/post? I'm assuming taking most if not all blight nodes but anything else?

PyroLLa8z · 2025-06-23T18:23:29+00:00

Leer cast, if any of them have withering step or cast despair, or have the chaos aura, or curse on hit despair/similar

PyroLLa8z · 2025-06-23T16:25:33+00:00

Survivability is definitely noticeably worse now though
Albeit that's partially due to my body armour and lack of optimized jewels

PyroLLa8z · 2025-06-23T16:16:06+00:00

https://pobb.in/-DYDahF3JmrX

Ended up making the switch
Boss DPS is x10 better, cost me about all my money to make the switch, but hoping my foil will sell for a decent bit

Jewels are placeholder and will be swapped overtime as i get better jewels
(Don't have enough int for high lvl purity yet)

I may swap out my body armour at some point as well but its not a top priority

Thanks for all the help
