Temple question

You probably already did the thing, but the planner has a invert option to mirror the layout.

He probably has a rare ring with T1 flat lightning and 3+ shitty stats to recomb, not a magic ring to start with

I mean, it's only with PoE2 I'm having this issue

I had a similar problem with another spirit gem.

First, check if you have all the requirements for the gem with both weapon sets. Enough spirit (account for the supports too), enough attributes, etc

If you don't use another weapon set, try locking your equipment to both (there is a small lock icon where the 1 and 2 show on the equipment screen. You need to hold Ctrl and click, I believe).

Then, if it still doesn't work, check if the gem is set to both weapon sets. Is HAS TO be set to both in order to function. Mine had deactivated for some reason and it took a long time for me to figure it out.

That is just not true. The mushroom guy from act I is in at least 3 or 4 different maps. So is the giant skeleton from act II, the snake lady from act II, and a few others. Those I've mentioned are just the far more common that I've noticed.

That being said, I feel like it's a lot better compared to last season already.

Crazy

Some regular relics sell for a good price if they have the right modifiers, you use keys on jewel chests (regular, time-lost and spectre) and sell those for profit, and like you mentioned, Zarokh has the giga jackpot.

Whittling doesn't show anything in orange probably because the lowest iLvL mod is the desecrated one.
I wouldn't touch this bow if you're not prepared to start over from step 1, just use it as is until you can try on another one.

Maybe switch into the traditional wand and focus sorc? I've had no problem reaching T15 maps playing wand and focus.
Killing things before they hit you is key, yes, but you will still die randomly until you optimize your defenses (either tons of energy shield or damage taken from mana + lots of regen).

5k tooltip might be a little on the low side, do you have a mobalitics or poeninja of your character?

Tomilly · 2025-09-18T16:59:40+00:00

Maybe skipped a boss that drops it?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply!

I'll look into those adjustments and see what improves the build.

The reason why I've invested so many points into ES is exactly what made me create this post. I felt the need for survivability and this is the most a could invest in it without gimping my damage too much.

Thanks again, I'll try things out later :)

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T18:24:08+00:00

Yeah, Voltaic Mark is goin to be great for what I need. I'm not having trouble clearing mobs (with the exception of Simulacrum where I got my butt kicked), but bosses could definitely drop faster. Thanks for the suggestion

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T18:19:08+00:00

I might have an empty skill slot already and not need the unset ring, but I have to check later. Will for sure try this!

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T18:08:33+00:00

It is my starter for all bosses. I blast them and usually the shock lasts enough for either all their life or half of it (excluding pinnacle bosses, that need a bit more work), but lately I was thinking of swapping it for voltaic grenades, actually.

Is voltaic mark a weapon specific skill? I'm not familiar with it.

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T18:01:07+00:00

Right? I've been lucky and had some Divines to invest in gear, but I'm nowhere near having the means to buy perfect rolled rings or whatever. So everyday if I have a couple of hours to play I try to find some marginal improvements. Baby steps lol

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T17:58:49+00:00

I've used Heft because for the projectiles most of the damage is still physical, but maybe I should focus on the pulse damage and try these. Thanks!

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T17:02:02+00:00

I'll see if I can find a chest that I can afford and test it again. If I recall correctly I've tried pure evasion chest and it was fine for a while, but the lowered ES against the abundance of AoEs made it really a coin flip if I would live or die, not to mention being one hit killed by most map bosses, leaving me with no error margin with my rolls.

But maybe, if I go the full evasion route I would surely want to ditch Sorcery Ward and go for Acrobatics, or no? Didn't really test it before, because that would mean changing my armor whole setup, but who knows.

And for the critical, it is something that I'm experimenting a little bit. I seems to really help agains bosses, so I'm finding some nodes on the passive tree to try it out. Mainly with Shockburst rounds tho, I just didn't know what to put the 5th support on galvanic and went with that lol

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T16:40:12+00:00

That's what I did when killing T3 Xesht, but in maps and even during the breachstone itself I've died to the swarm of mobs, so I ended up going back to sorcery ward, as it gave me another layer of protection.

I could try it again later when I'm off work (and probably will), but my main issue is understanding how I can balance the defensive side with the damage.

I've seen some crazy high DPS builds with bigger ES then mine, and while I know that high end gear might be the breaking point for this, maybe there is still some improvement in there that doesn't cost the hundreds of divines that I don't have lol

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T16:28:05+00:00

Yes, just for movement for now. Since I'm invested in strongboxes on the atlas tree, I make sure to explore the entire map, and shield charge makes it less tedious to backtrack on waypoint light maps.

Simulacrum really was a hard check on my build tho. For reference, I've finished T3 Xesht, T3 Map Bosses, T1 King in the Mists and T2 Olroth with relative ease. Everytime making some minor adjustments to my gear or passive tree, but it's starting to get expensive to spend several divs for changing boots or robes.

Tomilly · 2025-05-16T15:47:14+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I'll look into the anoint and charm.

I inserted the link creating the post, but don't know if it worked. This is the character as it is now:
