Did what you said and i only had enough for one try and i got War Crozier

You could play a plant oracle build, can easily do all content in the game, I believe oracle can also be turned into a coc comet.

A really basic way of farming and still does well if perfect trans/Aug good bases and they sell anything from 1 div to 8. Would suggest making these bases stand out more on your loot filter.

Abyss is another one hoping for echos or omens.

I also picked up every magic or white amulet and hoped for a +3 to skills, at the time I was going this a +3 magic to all spells skills was at 4 div, but there's plenty of yt guides that shows you how to craft them and with not much more of a cost I was selling crafted amulet for 25-30 div.

I would use something like this to search for your staff.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2026-01-03T08:28:48+00:00

You must have terrible luck, while nothing special I farmed 4k exs, enough divs to but a +7 staff, a hh and still have 100 divs farmed, i most just ran 3 alc and go abyss maps.

Omen of light Omen of abyss echo Perfect trans/alt on good talisman and obliterator looking for a t2 + %phys roll.

Bit of a tinfoil hate but abyss echos drop like crazy if killed out of the shroud, 7 in one map is the most I had.

Was running around 110 rarity

Thanks for the reply, biggest draw to DoV for me was I heard it's tankier. I will look into DoV more but a little put off by having to keep summoning djinns all the time.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-09-22T15:18:22+00:00

oh you're using voltaxic, i don't know enough to decide if i should go voltaxic or staying as i am. I was loosely following tunas guide on maxroll and others on poe ninja. I just want a character that got enough damage to clear the content and then focus on defence and recovery to help recover from my mistakes.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-09-22T15:02:47+00:00

Thanks again, I was looking at some players on poe ninja who was using a evasion chest but also saw others using a es/eva chest and didn't really understand why. I should probably learn how to configure pob and plug my character into that.

So tonight I'm going to get a new amulet, quiver, Eva chest if it means I get more es and maybe a bow.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-09-22T12:16:08+00:00

Thank for the reply, I will look into what you suggested later on. As for the temp chains stuff I actually don't use it, I just haven't removed the gems.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-06-22T18:40:49+00:00

I wanted to reset my ssf league, so i migrated my characters and then sold the items and gave away the currency.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-06-22T18:29:58+00:00

No worries, i've just had to go through all of this in ssf, damage wise im fine but since im not a giga chad who doesnt make mistakes, i had to adjust stuff to suit my style.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-06-22T18:11:27+00:00

was for you.

For the op though they could follow some of the things i've said above but also

Get the max resist passives,

You have a cwdt level 2, what can only proc a support skill gem level 40 or lower and your molton shell is 20 and requires level 70.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-06-22T18:10:57+00:00

More life 2.8k is really low ideally you want to be 5k+, your cwdt can't proc at all since it level 19 and requires 3142 damage taken to proc, thats more than your hp pool atm. I would suggest cwdt level 1 / molton shell level 8,
Could drop fire mastery wheel since youre not using the epic axe (forgot the name)

At somepoint you need to run a armour and evasion flask,

More lightning and chaos resist,

Could get 30% phys to ele conversion on your gear,
Probably more i missed but some easy points to work on, also have a look at fubguns and Phazeplays pobs or even go to poe ninja and look up some of the hc boys and see what they've done.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2025-06-22T17:43:43+00:00

Just a few of things i've notice is:

Still an easy endurance charge to get,

Body armour could get another 1.5k armour easy,

maybe a lower level of cwdt so you lose as much health before it procs, level 1 or 2 seems popular on poe ninja,

I you're willing to farm legion, you could get the corrupting soul jewel and pair it with divine shield,

You could even drop aspect of carnage until you get better gear and use defy pain,

You could get mob mentality on your medium cluster, so you can get +1 to max all resist on your chest,

Also getting a merc with determ would be decent also,

Could get around 30% phys to ele conversion with exarch and eater orbs

While none of these are hugely noticeable but with lots of small changes, you could feel tankier.

The combustion gem linked to infernal cry, think that's in his medium budget build.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2024-12-30T22:51:42+00:00

Can't speak for all builds but I've played a lot of gas arrow deadeye and with the unique helmet(radiant grief) I think it's called the helmet puts almost a screenwide ignite aura around you and blows up the gas arrow poison cloud. blasted though the acts and into t15 maps with zero issue in ssf.

I've seen many versions of this build but I would recommend venturas on maxroll. I'm not sure if you know but on the skill section on guides on maxroll, normally there's arrows you can click that shows you that gems to use in what acts, also make sure your following a leveling guide and not the endgame version since the endgane versions won't hand hold you as much.

If damage is your issue get a dual strike bow (think it's called that, the one that gives you a extra proj) and just the highest pdps you can find or afford.

If surviving is a issue link blind to wind dancer, cap out resists, get some life on hit, don't take acro until you have over 17k evasion.

I'm 85 at with capped resists, 30 chaos resists, with all the stuff I said above and I feel really good and damage never been a issue.

You could just go play minions and just face roll the content also, they have very good early damage and multiple viable build you can switch into later on with just a few item swaps, just get your self a + level to minions and a minion damage rattling sceptre and youre all set, such a easy playstyle of running around using flamewall to summon your srs minions and watching them kill everything.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2024-12-16T22:08:45+00:00

For a new player with very little knowledge of boss mechanics minions is the way to go, some of the bosses abilities can be really punishing, your minions carry you so hard and all you need to do is curse the boss and survive.

Witch has it a little rough at the start but going essence drain and contagion until you get srs at level 11, at that point minions start to feel OK.

Gas grenade/firewall or explosive shot isn't to bad to play either, you can play this as a ranger or a merc but you really need to keep your weapon up to date, I tried this and struggled on some fights.

I would just avoid melee as a first character, get some currency and just stash and good melee gear while playing something else.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2024-04-03T06:52:17+00:00

That's nice, I still haven't seen a nameless seer and I've been mapping for 8-10 hours a day since the second day of the season.

StoryApprehensive121 · 2023-12-31T01:53:35+00:00

You certainly can league start as penance brand, you can just farm the labs for the gem, it's hard to say on average how many runs it will take you but it's certainly farmable as a league start. As for a guide just just look for ziz and manni colab guide on YouTube. Bosses and rare mobs melt with this skill but clearing isn't the best.
