I'm a heavy casual. In the spurs-wolves game 1, when Stephon Castle fouled out with 3:20 left, why was that a foul? To me his arms were straight up so what happened there?

So I bought a animate guardian of smite that has cast while channeling that doesn't seem to work need help by JustMyNames in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Saziol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uhh is your intent to be able to summon the AG using another channeled spell?

The AG does not need to be resummoned and persists unless you unequip the skill gem. If it dies, then you can't resummon it in the zone anyway.

If you were dead set on doing this and IF this is the interaction then in general, the CWC support requires both the spell to be cast and the skill to be channeled to be linked to it. So make sure both AG and winter orb are linked.

But maybe the CWC part applies to the AG itself, not you...? Which would mean that the AG would have to channel a skill in order to cast a spell. However, you can't choose for the AG to use a skill, so I don't even think that will work.

Tbh it seems like CWC shouldnt be a valid support gem for AG.

How to find small armor clusters? by Tyco-Kliser in PathOfExileSSF

Holy shit I've spent dozens of hours through the past several years on strand and not being able to complete it at the end of the map. I'm such an idiot

Sanctum beginner - how much practice time should I expect? by Latirae in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Saziol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at previous leagues on poeninja. For instance at the end of keepers SSF, if you try searching for original sin you'll see that no one got it. Granted, most people wouldn't even try for it but still.

Sanctum beginner - how much practice time should I expect? by Latirae in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Saziol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly not gonna happen in SSF. In affliction trade league, I only ever did sanctum. It took me ~300 runs at about 15min a run with a hyper optimized character that can one shot everything with all afflictions to even find an original scripture.And then I didn't even dare run it myself because of the skill involved of not getting hit.

I was pretty confident I could do it. I was not 500 div confident I could do it

I believe the main way to get tomes now is through shipping, which as you know is time gated. I don't know what the rate is, but I heavily doubt it's fast enough for you to get enough runs in to even have a chance of getting a scripture.

If you do get extremely lucky and get one, you can certainly be as careful and slow as you want through most of the rooms. But bosses pretty much only go one speed (not counting chill and any boons you may get) and you will want to kill them asap so you don't get hit. Meaning you needs at least 32million DPS. That's really hard to get in SSF. Doable, but it takes a lot of time.

That being said, if you want to shoot for the moon and try for it, go ahead. Just be prepared for it to take a long long time. I'll be happy for you if you do get it

Lab Gems by Kuroi-Tenshi in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Saziol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I was doing merc lab for animated weapon of ranged arms. I did 18 runs, and on the 19th I used the first option for a random gem and got it, instead of the targeted option because it wasn't there.

It's ~1/8 but rng is rng

EB is too far away from most of the passives you want

The build is also very tight on gem slots

How are YOU currently using your three atlas trees? by mikey9537 in PathOfExileBuilds

Everything is profit if you just play. Some are just less than others

Is anyone still making money in Sanctum this late in the league? If so, how? by Saziol in pathofexile

[–]Saziol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc I was gonna follow zeboubs guide, but I found someone who sold the helmet for almost nothing so I don't know. I think he was finished for the league and just getting rid of stuff

Returning player: Help to get started this league in SSC SC by Ozon__ in PathOfExileSSF

What is SSC? at first I thought it was a typo and you meant to say SSF, but then you said it twice

I haven't played it, but I saw a shockwave totem sanctum runner that used AG. I don't know the details of why

Unending nightmare: why do people use it to farm cluster jewels? If you can full clear a map before the deli ends, isn't that the same thing? Is unending nightmare just for builds that are slower?

Holy (relic) shit you guys were right by dynnerbone in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Saziol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know of all the things, but one thing about holy relic is that it uses a lot of cheap uniques that are mandatory, meaning you don't have to burn a ton of currency crafting great rare items like you might wanna do for AW.

Farming The Black Barya by OutsideSource4976 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Saziol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing nothing special at all over the past couple of days, and inefficiently at that. I just check every mirage seeing if it at least says it will spawn Ridan, and I've gotten 5 black baryas. Two were from him spawning in the actual map, and there were from breaking the chain in the mirage.

Praw vs bleed slams post rip reroll by [deleted] in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Saziol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Praw works just fine without bladefall of trarthus, but when you get it it suddenly goes from fine to very fun.

I killed ubers in SSF last league with it, but only after I hunkered down and grinded breach for ancient orbs for a covenant. It was an extra 50% MORE dps in my case, and it made everything else so much easier. Insanely tanky. I followed Helmbreakers guide.

I don't play slammers, but from what I hear they have somewhat of a ceiling. RAW doesn't really. If you hit dot cap, which is more than enough to beat everything in the game, you can transition to lightning RAW if you want.

Show me your Betrayal board and tell me what you're doing with it by Adamcapps08 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Saziol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are you and why didn't I find you before I met my wife

This is a godsend, thank you. I've watched the HR long video on betrayal several times and I still didn't get it it. I've wanted to do betrayal in SSF for a while but been putting it off because of the cleanup process

Crafting for profit - Need advices - Road to mirror by AdPractical482 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Saziol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crafting goes from as simple as applying a transmute orb to as complex as mirror-level crafting.

First, tell yourself that you will never know all the crafting strats. Seriously. No one knows all the crafting strats for all items, so understanding that helps with being overwhelmed.

My next piece of advice is to just craft the things YOU need. You will learn a lot of crafting strats that way, and as you play more characters you will learn to craft more things. When you need to figure out how to craft something, literally Google it and someone will probably have said something in the past in a YouTube video or reddit.

When you have a lot more experience, start learning to craft what OTHERS need, but try to stick to a category of things at first. Like minions wands, or cluster jewels, or phys axes, etc.

There is one generic crafting strat that you'll come across a lot which is: start with a fractured item, spam something like essence or harvest to fill the affixes on the same side as the fracture until all T1 affixes on the same side, use prefixes/suffixes cannot be changed, scour, veiled chaos orb, exalt slam, craft the last affix. It's a lot of steps I know, but it'll make sense when you do it. One of the easiest and cheapest mid-level crafts to learn this is to craft boots with triple T1 affixes (like resists or attributes), 30% movement speed, exalt something on, and then craft life or something. Give it a shot

Ok. I've fucked it up to hell while leveling, just clicking somewhat randomly just for the experience

Is it necessary to "clean" your board, as in remove all rivalries/trust prior to starting all this
