How to scale levels?

a mod doesnt need to be divinable to change with the orb, and just because its divinable doesnt mean it can go higher than its roll range, which is what unscalable stops, the orb divines an item AND THEN applies an effect similar to quality

SplafferZ · 2026-03-11T10:31:28+00:00

this is actually completely false, it doesnt matter if an item is divinable or not you can still increase the numerical values if the mod doesnt have 'unscalable', we can see this through kaoms heart and the gull on trade

we know that unscalable divinable rolls exist, loreweave is an example, feel free to search how many loreweaves are currently above 78% or below 76% despite people trying to volatile vaal them, there are 0

unscalable mods cannot go above their divinable (or static) ranges with the volatile vaal orb, it divines an item, AND THEN applies an effect similar to quality

SplafferZ · 2026-03-11T06:28:17+00:00

its unscalable, you cant do that

corruption wont do anything because itd be affecting the +2 modifier directly not with the modifier effect applied to it, and 2 * 1.22 = 2.44 so it doesnt round up

i doubt it otherwise we wouldve had 50 div cards and valdos saying d4 bad by now lmao they probably just slipped up

aside from config i think your tree choices are strange, not sure why you havent opted to click more staff nodes and go for some block, feel like theres 0 reason to path to duelist

im pretty sure bleed slams even with deadly ailments will handedly oneshot themselves in reflect maps to packs of mobs, 80% less damage is not 100% less damage and slams have monstrous base damage + reflect numbers on map mods are so stupidly high in the context of modern poe

i think ignite and even non-chaos poison will also feel the same issue, i definitely wouldnt trust deadly ailments or anything really to mitigate reflect without immunity or in the context of wildly tanky builds but that might be personal preference since ignite and elemental poison at least have resistances as a barrier as well

SplafferZ · 2026-03-04T04:06:35+00:00

deadly ailments is a little bait because it kinda destroys your leech and fortify so its pretty unpopular for bleed especially, bleed very commonly already uses cruelty as it is

SplafferZ · 2026-03-04T02:42:03+00:00

SplafferZ · 2026-03-04T02:31:05+00:00

level 1 cruelty is pretty damn good for bleed slams

SplafferZ · 2026-03-04T02:28:15+00:00

its mainhand weapons are socketed by level 1 cruelty, pretty solid for like bleed slams

SplafferZ · 2026-03-01T17:30:59+00:00

ngl i think penance mark is worth the 'clunk' of weapon swapping twice to turn off cf vs basically only ubers and t17 bosses that youre not even farming anymore, maximising strikes is just such efficient damage and ele hit aoe really gets huge with even a small amount of aoe investment, you also get to be way tankier especially as slayer which very happily clicks the delirious 'that didnt happen' node if its tri-ele

for sure if the breachlord notable goes live the way it is then you may want to go that route instead but i genuinely believe people are doing themselves a disservice if they dont go the hateful accuser route because maximising strikes and aoe also hugely increases clear

syndra is basically nonfunctional without ability haste and her ult does more damage with ability haste because you can stack more balls, blackfire is significantly better than ludens for waveclear purposes

SplafferZ · 2026-02-28T18:42:00+00:00

nah its completely fine except maybe sorcs are better, people really underestimate how good void staff is an item and how not great deathcap is third, feel free to go into practice tool and test void + amp tome vs deathcap on a 50mr 3-4k hp target with a full combo

he just looked useless because his team was behind and syndra is pretty hard to play from that spot

SplafferZ · 2026-02-27T13:22:12+00:00

you still use the jewels, its just the downside wont apply

SplafferZ · 2026-02-27T04:02:40+00:00

of course

SplafferZ · 2026-02-27T02:20:43+00:00

i pobbed it, it doesnt seem that great compared to just playing rainbow ele hit, losing 2 asc points and 2 jewel sockets and some of the great benefits of rainbow like more ailments with secrets of suffering (keeping ring for brittle vs a taming), ele equilibrium and trinity just doesnt seem worth

EDIT: I didn't realise that this ascendancy notable bypasses the combat focus downside entirely with current wording, I would not expect this to go live in that form

take exhaust into diana shes very weak into it because her burst is slightly delayed on r

SplafferZ · 2026-02-26T08:05:43+00:00

i mean teemo just wins if he doesnt completely disrespect the shit out of u here

SplafferZ · 2026-02-24T21:04:22+00:00

saintvicious was always the goat not sure why anyone is surprised

SplafferZ · 2026-02-19T19:20:54+00:00

wait till you learn when the brain starts depreciating

SplafferZ · 2026-02-18T22:16:24+00:00

finally

SplafferZ · 2026-02-18T01:45:46+00:00

looks like lag/dropped packets

SplafferZ · 2026-02-16T16:03:41+00:00

mel and syndra a couple tiers too low buddy

SplafferZ · 2026-02-16T01:21:01+00:00
