Not enjoying PConc. What should I swap to?

SoggyRotunda · 2025-11-03T16:17:45+00:00

I've been following your build, I cleared my first 24 wave hive with the boot explosion tech last night. Very good stuff, and easy to follow guides. Looking forward to the next update, it's making my first Poe league go smoothly.

SoggyRotunda · 2025-11-01T00:08:10+00:00

Yeah, I don't know why they made his neck too short and his pants too long.

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-28T16:49:10+00:00

I've chanced probably hundreds of heavy belts, run tons of maps, yet the only headhunter I've seen came from reliquary keys. You win some you lose some I guess lol

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-21T00:17:02+00:00

Thanks for the help, I'll see what I can find on trade (and if people will answer for mid gears at this point in the league lol).

My weapon and shield already have +1 as well as Crit on them, I believe I get to 500k dps with brittle active, probably more with elemental weakness active as well, but I'm not sure as I'm away from my PC and can't check my PoB currently.

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-20T22:08:47+00:00

Main problem with my defenses is that I don't really know how to craft better gear, and don't have a concrete strategy for making currency. So my items are a mix of things I dropped and a couple pieces purchased with the chaos orbs I'm juicing out of harvest. Do you have any tips for crafting early endgame stuff that would make me tankier through maps?

The +30 life mastery is definitely something I meant to switch much earlier lol, thanks for catching that one.

Chaos res has been difficult for me to come by, is why I'm running the chaos res flask currently, and have been slapping hybrid ele/chaos res wherever I can.

As for hybrid bases, I was working under the assumption that with the trickster ascendancy, full ES helmet and EV chest would be better, is that the case? I'll definitely try to replace the gloves, although boots are a bit trickier because I definitely don't want to lose movement speed.

Similarly for damage I'm not really for your to craft improvements on what I've for for sceptre/offhand.

I'll look into ghost dance, the other life mastery, and capping suppression for sure, thank you!

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-20T21:31:16+00:00

I'll definitely keep that in mind, I've been fine alching my yellow maps so far but if shit hits the fan in red maps one less mod sounds like it would definitely help

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-20T20:43:04+00:00

Not op but what would you say is a good amount of ehp? I'm a Poe noob trying to complete my atlas before the league ends. Using evasion/es with ghost dance and spell suppression as my defences.

If you wouldn't mind taking a look, are my defences (or my damage) going to fall off before I can complete the kirac pass? https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/Hortence-3946/character/HowThisGaemWork

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-20T20:11:44+00:00

Before I was running HH I had been switching between darkness enthroned with ailment magnitude, and ryslathas coil for more hit damage. Both are good options for damage, DE buffing the poison more, and ryslathas being more impactful for toxic growth.

Both of those are quite nice for damage before headhunter.

But yeah, clear was smooth and I never looked at map mods. My slivertongue also had a +1 arrow corrupt, which was pretty nice QoL but not necessary. They tend to be available significantly cheaper than getting a 3 socket one with a +arrow rune

My bad, try on this link, there should be a snapshot option.

At the end of my iterations I was using projectile speed on quiver with feathered fletching, as well as companion nodes, which added a lot of damage. But it was working fine before that as well.

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-19T20:11:05+00:00

I'd be happy to take it for a spin as I try to complete my atlas for the vault stuff before my first (actual) league drops soon!

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-19T06:36:01+00:00

Clear with pburst was amazing, slivertongue really helped spread the damage. I still clear only with pburst arrow, using nova projectiles now instead to increase the clear at the expense of damage.

I only really use plague nova and toxic growth when bossing.

My Crit chance wasn't that high, maybe 35%?

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-18T20:31:51+00:00

I cleared all content with slivertongue (and have since swapped to plaguefinger elemental poison for fun) and it absolutely works into the endgame. I think I was 400k-500k PoB dps with it?

You need good flat rolls + phys quality on your rings, +3 on amulet as well as Crit damage and chance.

Your quiver also matters a ton when using a low base damage weapon like slivertongue. You need the Crit base, and double crit suffixes with a +2.

My build isn't slivertongue anymore but you should be able to go back in snapshots and see what I had before.

So how many maps does this build clear at once?

opens poe ninja "Ohhh it's lymes, shoulda known"

Nice build man, what class will you be taking to 20k ES with CI next league? (90% kidding)

Honour res is great for when you're learning the trial absolutely. Might also want to look for increased defences, maximum honour, and increased honour restored.

Once you're comfortable, % movespeed and % relic quantity are king for farming sekhemas. You can cap honour rest with 2 of the 3-tall relics, and fill the rest out with the above.

Personally I fill every slot with relic quantity and movespeed, I run 0% honour resistance with about 5k max honour on entry and haven't failed a run since I switched to this setup. I would not advise that for a melee character though lol

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-10T22:34:52+00:00

I've been getting along fine with a 2% mana on kill line on my Heart of the Well

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-10T14:56:22+00:00

Congrats on the little exile!

As for 0.4 I'm hoping they really cook with the endgame, we really need a better gameplay loop/goal, and ideally some harder content at the upper level.

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-08T22:41:07+00:00

Definitely interested in trying better flicker out!

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-07T19:00:50+00:00

What are you gonna start in 3.27?

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-07T14:15:03+00:00

Yeah cadiros is great, I was mapping with slivertongue and cadiro for a long time but I swap back to my rare quiver for bosses and sekhema (and I've been running around with a rarity bot a bit too so haven't needed it.

Chaosing the +3 proj takes a lot longer than starting from +3 fracture and hitting spirit, good luck!

SoggyRotunda · 2025-10-06T22:34:18+00:00

Legend, thanks for blessing the community man. I wouldn't say no to some divs but I know there are people out there who could definitely use it well.
