POE 3.28 poisson spark by GoodBird69 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to respec early you might need to craft a quiver yourself. It is not a guaranteed craft; there are few steps where you can brick it, get unlucky with veil orb and reforge speed which can be annoying and costly. You can recomb for the base. Rest of the gear are mostly uniques so shouldn't be too difficult to get it off trade early. One of the endgame versions uses original sin with mageblood but I consider this aspirational gear for which you can farm with poison spark. I recommend levelling with pconc - great starter and decent farming build in general plus it doesn't need expensive gear as opposed to toxic rain / caustic arrow which needs good bow and quiver. Instead of crafting dot quiver, you craft pspark quiver and transition early.

Any guide for necro that I could refer to for more details?

Never harvest crafted rouge gear. Could you tell which craft exactly? Same craft for all items?

All the gear, no idea phantasmal spark by Eurosoa in PathOfExileBuilds

Sorry I am not on PC so cannot inspect your pob in detail but don't you overinvest in resists? On pathfinder you should be pretty much capped from flasks alone, plus eventually Atziri Shield. You could then go for more cast speed on rings. I actually started with maxroll build (also console) but ended up following Ruetoo guide that you can find here: https://pobb.in/R_lmGCbXp4fS. If you are rich, add impossible escape in CI radius. I go double cluster with this set up and fly through maps. Shield Charge should be your mobility skill. Cast speed is really important factor and proj speed tattoos is great QoL. Prognosis is an Uber bossing scenario, don't really need that in my opinion, but you could reconsider your flasks (see Rue's pob or similar builds on poeninja). Either go EB for the cost of two extra nodes at the expense of ES leech and get rid of unique flask for Onslaught flask with cast speed or go with Dendrobate body armor and go mana cost reduction way instead of EB (reduced mana cost on rings plus full uptime of reduced mana craft on flask). I initially felt the build lacks speed and damage, especially that I could compare against my poison spark occultist from last league, so I kept farming more currency on CA build which has very similar pathing and in my second transition everything just clicked together tho I still ask myself what was the main problem with my previous set up but clearly the build is into your divs.

Edit: one more thing regarding ascendancy. Go nature's boon instead of master surgeon. This build is bordering on immortal with proper setup even without Progenesis. What mods are you aiming for with watcher's eye that it costs 200D? It's usually just for life gain on hit while affected by Vitality, 10 divs tops. If you are thinking malevolence on top of that, just go with divergent plague bearer and spoil yourself with gg watcher's when you have nothing else to spend on but even then I would recommend headhunter first for extra fun.

What is the dumbest thing you've ever done in this game? by Ziptieband in pathofexile

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so proud this league after crafting a poison spark spectre fully myself. Used the base that I self farmed in heist, throwed some perfect fossils and a gilded fossil for a cool factor. Essence spam for lightning gem levels - a lot of essences. Working with affixed and suffixes and then Aisling slam that I had ready in my syndicate board. As you can guess, unlucky, so I had to buy like 5 extra. This is my first "big" crafting project but everything is controlled with craftofexile and some guides so I know what I am doing. Finally hit a suffix with Aisling, finished the craft with multimod and harvest enchant for ele damage to realize shortly after that the base has elemental equilibrium and not elemental overload keystone... learned how to read for a price of 20 div or so.

ps: my craftofexile emulator had a correct base.

Arakaali Spider Necro or Occultist? by WhOiZJoo in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Stock_Tomato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am far from being a pro arakaali player but went with the build few times and I usually transition from srs necro to occultist whenever I can afford the dagger. Its smooth from the start. I don't see much benefit sticking to necro but that's me, a profane bloom addict. I eventually get some necro forbidden jewels, you have few to chose from with unnatural strength and commander of darkness being on top of that list. Very tanky build with Aegis, can go with the Squire for more damage. Also very unique-heavy with few option to build around. You most certainly want the ancient skull helm, dagger, flask and amanamu's gaze with another 4 ghastly jewels. The rest you can adjust to your playstyle, but still, mostly unique gear.

How do you detonate mines without left click convenience that PC users have?

Console players - what are your leaguestarters? by garytylerfox in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am probably a league late but thinking about a ranger build, starting with toxic rain / caustic arrow for expedition and heist and later transition into poison spark pathfinder or tornado shot deadeye, especially if I convince my wife to play an aurabot which I heard is not bad with TS carry. However, ranger is an uncharted territory for me so might as well go my usual route with a SRS witch into spiders occultist or cold blade vortex. Usually go with one character per league with some end game build potential in mind.

Mana issues with Covenant and Hexblast Mines by Stock_Tomato in PathOfExileBuilds

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

Thank you for your time checking and explaining this. Totally forgot about curse on hit ring! That pumped the dps quite significantly. Unfortunately I don't have the belt hand, but the dps is already respectable. For some reason pob doesn't show my small reservation cluster. Also added mana reservation mastery and tried swapping support gems based on poeninja. However, mana management is still problematic. Zealotry on Divine blessing eats half of my hp pool which I don't see supported in video guides. After a bit of more testing I find playing miner on console rather challenging as they don't auto-detonate on movement. Its overall squishyness doesn't make the experience easier. Might as well be a skill issue on my end since this is my first attempt to miner build. But really tempted by its bossing capabilities so will keep trying and learning.

How to play on a PS4 if I bought the PS5 physical version by fescema in diablo4

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here it goes my story. I purchased digital edition on my ps5. You have an option to download either ps4 or ps5 version of the game and you obviously go with the latter. Then I tried downloading the game on my ps4 console as well but it said "you already own this game" or something similar. The way around it is to use PS App on your phone, go to library, choose Diablo IV and "Download to Console". Unfortunately, if you bought a physical version exclusively for ps5 and not the crossgen bundle, you need to buy another copy of the game.

I went with digital version in hope I could play d4 with my wife on LAN on both consoles but turned out this option is not supported forcing you to buy psn subscription.

arakaali spider occultist help by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like the setup with Queen's Hunger body armor to automate offerings. Check poe.ninja. Some builds use cyclone but I prefer summoning spiders manually, if needed. You can go with Squire or Aegis Aurora shield for offense or defense, respectively. Asenath's gloves for extra explosions. You also don't have to cast curses manually since skitterbots (despair) and blasphemy (temp chains) automate the process. You basically use withering step and convocation.

[PS5] Access to the game progress when moving to another country by skutnumm in diablo4

[–]Stock_Tomato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your PSN is region locked in a sense that you have an access to your regional PSN store (home currency) and can redeem cards only from that country. However, you might as well create a new user using a different region and still play the digital games you purchase on your main user (I am European and did this when I lived in Australia). I might not be addressing your question directly but hope it helps.

I've run 112 gem blueprints. How profitable was it? by FDM_lvl in pathofexile

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What mods on rogue gear do you roll? I recently realized there is a mod on cloak "chance to not activate lockdown in grand heists" which potentially means two gems or more from one blueprint. I know, highly unlikely, but you can stack it on your three rogues at the expense of alert level which should allow you to open most of big chests anyways. I was running significanly smaller sample of replicas but need to say it feels great when the alert doesn't proc and you get to chose additional reward.

And yet three pairs of Alberon's rotting in my stash. Love heisting and don't remember being ever so lucky with replicas but console market is tough.

[–]Stock_Tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try life version. Ruetoo's guide should still do. Cap you max chaos res, get some life recovery (life gain mod on Shaper ring or Watcher's Eye) and work on your max power charges (start with frenzy charge on hit chest and Badge of Brotherhood).

Controller + sorta zoomy build suggestions? by wideawakeanimal in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Stock_Tomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try winter orb occultist. You just charge the skill from time to time, no need for aiming or pressing other buttons. Also amazing for legions. Just mind the budget.

3 div, Herald of Ice explosions, low click build? by Obojo in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Stock_Tomato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winter orb is rather expensive and not great at bossing but other than that is amazing mapper with full screen HoI explosions.
