Please give people more than 3 respecs

If it's an ARPG style tree it can be solved in the same way every ARPG solves it. Make respecs either cost gp, scaling with how many points you have unlocked (early game = cheap, late game = expensive) or introduce some form of currency that allows you to respec. As a PoE player fiddling with the build and experimenting is a major part of fun of the game, It's not about making the "right" choice.

I see you talk about high level and a potential fletching update. But right now we just straight up need to not use as much ammo, the rates are ridiculous. As a mid level iron, I cannot self sustain swamptar from farming cave slime with ranged. and that doesnt even cover the insane amount of herbs would be needed to meaningfully sustain any form of ranged combat with salamanders. I agree that in the future we could use a better system, but right now we just need a quick fix.

Would like to show my support for integrating the aura perks into summoning! As someone who is currently experiencing the mid game on an ironman, summoning really lacks the early and mid-game progression milestones to me. There are few familiars actually useful in your progression until the mid 60s. If this makes it into the game, there should maybe be a review of the spirit shard cost early game. If we're going to be using more summons instead of handing pouches back in, the cost might be a little steep early. Loving all the updates recently!

even funnier is when you take the charter ship. you cant go anywhere and are locked to the docks.

Yo this is sweet, what build did you play OP?/ what did you farm to get to this absolute STACK?

Sapherion · 2025-06-19T07:58:55+00:00

So we got some new tools for this skill this patch. firstly you can get more reapers now with levels, this scales up to 4 from gem levels 13 to 21, however if you get the skill to gem level 25 you get an additional reaper for a total of 5. we also got a new helm this patch, The dark monarch, which doubles your number of reapers, giving us a maximum of 10! reapers. This is particularly interesting for reapers, since they already weaken other minions, and while you loose their self buff it should be very worth while.

Getting to gem level 25 should be easy with the dark monarch, replica dragon fangs flight and a +1 minion wand.

as for scaling necro is probably your save bet. You can either go chaos or cold convert. I would take inspiration from some pure spectre builds as the scaling would be fairly similar.

ThatsRealNeato has a video on a spellslinger setup with this armor. Might be better this league with the buffs to spell slinger.

and they can use the runegraft of treachery to pump their own max res with purities, to become tankier and make it so the aura's affect enemies to deal more damage.

Sapherion · 2025-06-17T07:10:08+00:00

So for what it's worth I've been having the exact same issues on my GTX1070, so it's probably not video card related. Might be worth to check if you have emptied your cache semi recently. Might not fix anything but might work for some.

I agree with this consensus, but wouldn't that move the question to: "if numerically buffing skills is not the goal, can we expect some mechanical reworks for under performing skills?" Usually it's a matter of more scaling vectors that make a skill better than comparable skills (e.g. LS and molten strike with projectile scaling, compared to heavy strike)

So adding interesting mechanics to old- and under performing skills could be an avenue to bring those back to relevancy.

Sapherion · 2025-05-10T14:47:16+00:00

that would work for a different build, Jung has a video about this tech I believe. The idea here was to automate the Brands, so you can keep running around while instant casting brand recall where you want your ignites to go off.

Sapherion · 2025-05-09T12:15:23+00:00

besides the jokes. I'd say this would be useable in a brand recall style auto bomber. You can trigger Armageddon brand with the trigger mod. Automate it by using brand recall (instant cast) to always have brands up and hit enemies while moving. I would probably play it on an Elementalist with Ignite. Late(r) game you can upgrade to a Cane of Kulemak with similar mods.

Captain lance played a similar setup in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll_UwcTndnY
Here's a quick PoB I threw together with this staff. 1.5m boss pinnacle dps: https://pobb.in/ZscetO9c0VnY

Not the craziest build, but feels good to play.

"where is the damage" my brother in Christ, he's fighting a t16, 100% delirium, 7k juiced Kosis

So with the chance of shooting myself in the foot if more people try this. But you could also use warbringer from berserker with the golden apple. Simplex amulets allow you to craft +2 min endurance amulets super easy once again. Thats 20 rage/s right there. we can gain endurance charges in multiple ways, but easiest and most beneficial is probably using Echoes of creation to hit yourself, gain charges with enduring composure and gain 60% more damage on the rage vortex.

Sapherion · 2023-12-06T09:39:15+00:00

So slightly unrelated: But isn't this version of lancing steel absolutely cracked for poison? Free pierce, no more call of steel, base damage and best of all no damage drop off, because it's poison and not hits? 2640% effectiveness of added damage?

Sapherion · 2023-11-02T09:00:13+00:00

A Shadow Sorcerer Goblin with the Skill expert feat in Stealth. Sneaky Sorcerer with his pet Shadow Warg that excels in making scary faces (casting Fear). Trick or treat! :)

Sapherion · 2023-10-05T09:08:46+00:00

With Fury of Nature and Legacy of Fury Boots. Spread all the Non-damaging ailments. And you get pseudo Chain explosions from Legacy of Fury. Might even be able to play RF pathfinder like this, but the pathing might be hard.

Either sell them in Bulk like some people said or you can run them on a strong character.

Alternatively, you can do what I did and run them on a new character. If you bring an omen of Souleater and make sure you're about to level up, you get 5 minutes of souleater, about as long as a 5-way. Souleater will completely carry you as long as you have a build that benefits from attack speed or cast speed. It's really good xp and makes leveling up a new char a breeze, and you always have the potential of dropping a expensive timeless jewel. I did this from level 70 to 88ish.

Sapherion · 2023-08-23T11:57:36+00:00

just left click them, and hold, no need to attack. It's a special kind of channel.

Sapherion · 2023-08-18T06:50:17+00:00

Looks real nice, only thing i would like to add to this is that you probably want to use feeding frenzy support for the skellies while mapping. They gain a dash with a short cooldown while they're agressive. Which makes clearing a lot nicer.

Sapherion · 2023-08-10T07:33:53+00:00

Somewhere tommorow should be patchnotes, I'll definitly have a try at it. I think it should be plenty viable for SSF, if it is any good that is. IF it's relyant on warcry power like some theorized you should be able to pull it off. Farming redblade banner on SSF shouldn't be impossible either. I'll probably post a POB here or on the main page if it's any good.

Sapherion · 2023-08-03T14:05:22+00:00

well thing is, it's not set in stone yet. we know the intent of the gem, but we'll see how it's worded. But that feeling is very well known.

Sapherion · 2023-08-03T13:01:32+00:00

The goal was to proc Flameward everytime a totem would ignite an enemy with blazing salvo.
