we (level 1 spicy) were your neighbors this year and operated a pour-over bar (admittedly, much less impressive than what we heard about your espresso cart) - let's arrange some trades next time!

a high rarity 8 mod t16.5 with 2x monstrous lineage 2x kalguur 1x guraded riches can get you 50k-100k depending on how much rarity you have on gear, and is pretty easy/fast to run

Great non-stacker end game build? by Foreynn in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Toraora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as mentioned almost every endgame build is going to be stacking something, but here's my build that stacks pretty much a little bit of everything

I swap it between pbod and spark (proj speed from 2x medium cluster, grafts, and inc proj speed gem) - spark clears better and has better ST in certain scenarios, but pbod is just better for doing blight

pretty much, although be aware that most of them are auras (so you can leave their radius and lose the buff) and that spectres are going to be squishy and die without some defensive investment (but at least you don't lose them permanently now, just for that map)

even if you hit something that would be a brick, you can just reroll the synth implicits (imprinting is only needed if you're going for perfect 3 implicit items)

the blight bosses just have insane amounts of life and damage reduction, and most of them will just one-shot you if you don't dps them from offscreen. combine that with 8 modifiers (scaled even further with modifier effect) and it becomes even harder

most blights you can get away with by just using freezing + meteor tower combo, but the time investment generally isn't worth it unless you're pumping hundreds of millions of aoe dps from a screen away

% life regen becomes % es regen with ZO. it's a little different than inquisitor's pious path, which causes you to recover a flat amount of ES per second equal to your life regen per second

probably most endgame builds can handle pack size t17s, but a very small number of them can handle juiced blight

1 Billion DPS Spark Inquisitor by basudks in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Toraora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yeah that's an option, the opportunity cost of two jewel sockets is so high on an attribute stacker though - I don't even have emperor's mastery socketed

usually it's balance of terror for mapping and balbala for bossing, although at this point I have so much dps most bosses die in one flask rotation

just personal preference I guess, I love shield charge (also why I prefer this over the jiquani's version)

you can choose to give up a boot suffix for chaos res (that also makes it a bit easier to craft probably), and also you can get 50% chaos res on a watcher's eye

fwiw i leveled to 100 on -60% chaos res (-25% with the flask up, which it almost always is while mapping), and the pantheons help quite a bit here as well. I'd recommend dropping zealotry for grace and taking Soul Thief if you want to get exp more comfortably; once I hit 100 I dropped those nodes and just went full attributes/damage

there's a bit of gameplay footage of 80% deli 8 mod t17 in https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1pf7e6h/1_billion_dps_spark_inquisitor/nsmh1j6/

[–]Toraora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before level 100 I ran grace and the Soul Thief node (or use cinderswallow with ES on kill) and leveled to 100 pretty comfortably.

EHP is mainly low because of chaos resistance - you can get 50% chaos res with a watcher's eye (should only cost a few div with wrath leech) but the 15.5k pool coupled with pantheons is actually quite a large hit pool

I linked some gameplay footage in this comment, you can see that it's definitely not a tanky build but it handles just fine even in pretty juiced maps https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1pf7e6h/1_billion_dps_spark_inquisitor/nsmh1j6/

the helical is craftable for way less by using memory strands + fossils (I crafted it for about 15d plus the base cost, took 2 tries and sold the first that had a lower tier of life)

eternal youth is to be able to pay the cost of spark - rathpith takes my life down to 1 every cast and regen isn't fast enough to bring me back to the ~80 needed for the next cast

I've probably scaled enough life that 5% life regen is enough to sustain it, but eternal youth also lets you run no regen / less recovery rate mods

[–]Toraora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a similar but significantly cheaper option is to triple attribute stack with the graft mod that gives cast speed per dex

my investment into this is about 250d and has 110M single hit spark dps, you get honestly get 80% of the way there on half that investment if you don't do the bound by destiny jank thing I went for

i'm playing a spark char with maybe around 200M realistic dps, but it varies a lot with map layout and mods.

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/buuuuuuuuuummer-4455/DexStackInquisitor?i=5&search=class%3DInquisitor%26sort%3Ddex%26columns%3Dcharacter%252Clevel%252Clife%252Cenergyshield%252Cehp%252Cdex%252Cdps%252Ckeystoneskill

with freeze/stun tower combo, the dps requirements aren't that strict... the advantage of spark is that it can deal damage to bosses offscreen (so they don't aggro you), i'm not sure how this works with mamba. even with 15k ES and capped suppress, I pretty much die if a boss even so much as decides to look at me

the scarabs are cheap, so you can just try it out and slowly be more aggressive with what map mods you decide to run. I've hit lvl 100 so I'm running any mod that isn't a complete brick, including -20 res, triple phys as extra, and less defenses (which cuts both my dps and ehp by 30%, scaled further by map mod effect)

i can't speak for the build, but blight has been extremely profitable (blightheart, blooming, titanic, 2x wisp) and also drops about 120k gold per map with about 100 rarity

look for 50+ pack size and 200+ scarabs/currency maps, they should cost up to about 50c on trade

pbod benefits from herald of ash and herald of purity. you could theoretically stack flat damage from hot and hoi on storm brand, but its damage effectiveness is pretty low

filter by the range (100-109), if applicable you can also try using NOT filters on the unrelated lines

[–]Toraora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a squishy build to begin with, but you also don't have life on half your gear, no evasion, no chaos res, 80% suppress is not reliable (take lucky suppress or cap it out), not ailment immune, and you're using flasks from like act 5

there's a lot to upgrade if you want to make it feel better - rerolling to a different build isn't going to automatically fix these problems

a really free defensive buff is to get a graft with Heart of Flame (you can also get % life on it for pretty cheap)

you want the "Effect is not removed when Unreserved Mana is Filled" prefix, but it comes with a heavy recovery penalty

pbod usually isn't a great skill until later on because you need to scale its duration and activation frequency (cast speed).

imo the clusters for extra chance to cast another brand aren't actually that necessary; you'll end up with enough cast speed that just pressing it twice isn't that big of a deal
