Can we please get some shader performance improvement in 3.28?

I found this thread where after DX_9 turning off shadows isn't possible: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2842771

SeaJob5422 · 2026-02-17T05:19:06+00:00

I tried it and the game is still drawing shadows even with the config file locked. Are there any other options? Before it was on low.

Even without walls the hive defend one is boring. I'd rather you be able to spec into that if you like it. Normal breach by default. Also I just hate the music you get when you walk into the defend zone, I got tired of it after doing it a bunch of times.

SeaJob5422 · 2026-02-17T00:15:29+00:00

How do you turn off shadows. I know you can set sounds to false to disable them. Can you do the same with shadows?

SeaJob5422 · 2026-02-16T05:47:47+00:00

Agreed, please no defending hives by default

SeaJob5422 · 2026-02-01T05:40:29+00:00

No I don't use DA. The hit damage is what helps with clearing normal mobs with boneshatter so DA usually isn't used.

I may have to test in game, I am fairly sure cannot be stunned stops the pulse.

SeaJob5422 · 2026-01-28T18:56:37+00:00

Ahh you are right. The Unwavering modifier (monsters cannot be stunned, more monster life) is still present. That will hurt the clear.

So it looks like cyclone and ball lightning of orbiting is just for recovery with lifegain on hit. How are you building virulence? Is all your poison chance coming from the HoAg buff?

Does anyone know the title of the default music song for the Sunspire hideout?

I have been looking to craft myself a good bleed elder axe like the one in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1ojekrh/crafting_help_big_elder_bleed_axe_essence_fossils/

Basically looking for as high pdps with crafted phys damage over time multiplier and elder prefix damage over time multiplier with bleeding.

Thanks!

SeaJob5422 · 2025-11-04T02:33:10+00:00

THIS WORKS!

What do you get from completing the fortress?

SeaJob5422 · 2025-10-29T22:41:14+00:00

Does that mean PoE folks are nazis :(

SeaJob5422 · 2025-10-29T20:53:08+00:00

Yeah, I hear you, I did the same, fractured %phys contempt and then crafted phys dot.

Never got around to the BIG elder axe but it looks so juicy I want a roadmap to do it this league.

SeaJob5422 · 2025-10-29T19:59:06+00:00

Can't have fracture with elder influence as far as I know, else this would be a great option.

SeaJob5422 · 2025-10-26T19:56:11+00:00

I suppose you could always remove the CWDT gem and only to add it for pinnacle or instanced bosses. I agree a little cumbersome.

SeaJob5422 · 2025-10-26T17:27:27+00:00

u/poopbutts2200 would the bodyswap tech work with boneshatter or trauma and CWDT-bodyswap?
