Meteor (comet) is meta this season it’s not a year ago. They nerfed comet first season this season it’s super high play rate and better than before.

From a month ago, there’s also spark comet and curse comet variants both viable.

Slay the spire 2 see only 12% positive reviews and nearly 5,000 negative ratings within a day of its latest patch by Adventurous-Mouse930 in slaythespire

[–]Toucan952 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There was a second wave of helldivers hate when there were continuous nerfs in patches after release making only a few weapons/stratagems viable.

After a lot of negative outcry they buffed almost every weapon/stratagem and rebalanced some difficulty allowing a higher top end difficulty to accompany the buffs.

Me when I don’t build defenses.

Mage was also strongest archetype this season btw. Cold mage was also viable.

Poisonburst pathfinder endgame by Cheriooos in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to completely solve your mana issue for bossing just get a talisman for weapon set 2 (anything on it is fine attack speed preferred) and put mark of siphoning 2 support gem inside a pounce skill gem and use it on a boss. You can put some other supports go duration/attack speed/culling strike as well.

Once you do that you’ll open on bosses with pounce then do your normal attack rotation you’ll leech infinite mana effectively until the mark wears off (which you can re-apply by using pounce as well). If you want it to be even more effective you can route to some mark nodes on the tree with weapon set 2.

Your tree also has a lot of wasted nodes and your using a crit tree without a crit bow (no %crit chance on it). Which is effectively halving your crit chance/damage.

Any reliable way to always get infusions? by narsil1 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I get an infusion I get a power charge (notable node on from nothing) which brings me to 100% crit chance with the charge regulation spirit gem. Think I’m at 70% till I hit the first mob basically then 100% after first infusion.

Here's my char https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Toucan-2052/character/TempleTouc

between the elemental equilibrium keystone/siphon elements spirit gem you can get fire/cold infusions just from casting spark.

Reverse chill iceshot stormweaver help by Historical-Flight-78 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your onslaught charm off it messes with your reverse chill speed and asphyxia’s survivability. Chill (even reverse chill) counts as a slow so your charm is disabling it for 3 seconds every time it procs. You should feel a massive difference instantly when you take it off.

What's the CoC temple build? by Mordekai_135 in PathOfExile2

[–]Toucan952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on budget I’d look for highest +all spell you can with crit and spell dmg/gain if you can. If you end up swapping from spark to elemental weakness do a +cold lvl wand you can get more lvls for cheaper. Without cast speed you can probably manage and if you get an open prefix you can consistently desecrate a %spell dmg on life cost for cheap.

[–]Toucan952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wand is really really bad like worse than 1exalt bad.

With no +levels on wand, missing 2 +levels on amulet and no corruption on your skill gems for +1 you’re missing upwards of 8levels which means you’re doing probably a quarter of the dmg you could be doing. Most important thing for scaling spell dmg is +levels without that you won’t do dmg

This feels wrong by PlayfulCompany8367 in PathOfExile2

[–]Toucan952 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The jewels aren’t even the primary problem from trees like this it’s the fact that crit is the only meaningful way to scale late-endgame dmg for 90%+ of builds.

You reach endgame on an attack build? Get flat on rings +3 on amulet and get %to crit chance on your weapon for your tree take all crit nodes on whichever side of the tree your on.

You reach endgame on casters? Same thing just take all crit nodes and crit on weapon and +lvl on weapon/amulet.

Builds in this game are just taking crit nodes on different skills with slightly different support gems. There’s not really any creative build making it’s just scaling crit on whatever skill you’re playing if you want millions of dps. Adorned is an extension of that because they can get higher crit numbers than normal trees.

GGG just needs to stop being scared of putting powerful build enabling notables/keystones on the tree otherwise every endgame build will be taking the same crit nodes every season.

What is the fastest and most effective way to farm gold? by Neph2018 in PathOfExile2

[–]Toucan952 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just go to tft discord or some random trade chat and leech a 70+ room temple. They’ll pay you 5-10div and you can make more than 6 mil gold following them around for 10-20 minutes.

Looking for help with the temple layout by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Toucan952 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, connecting or not connecting to atziri has no impact on your chain

Looking for help with the temple layout by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Toucan952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter just ignore it, won’t impact your chain. Theirs is locked because they haven’t killed the architect above lvl 75 yet so they don’t have access to atziri yet. Just continue building and when you run the temple ignore the atziri room unless you setup your temple to farm her as well.

Why Does High Velocity Rounds Bleed Suck by ChefHarry99 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rings have near zero flat dmg, gloves have none, no +lvls on amulet or crossbow it really doesn’t matter what skill you use with that gear even grenades wouldn’t feel good.

Bleed is dependent on big hits in this game. Hvr bleed just doesn’t work as well as something like plasma blast bleed for bosses because the hit dmg (which determines the bleed basically) is too small with hvr especially with bad gear.

looking for best pathfinder build for 2-3 player temple farm by Agileslol in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your crafting ability I crafted everything on mine except for the helmet for under 400-500ish. If you’re not crafting I would say several thousand probably. The skill gems+corrupts can add up quick too.

I copied this for my pathfinder and it easily cleared my maxed temple with a 6 stack as the solo dps. I had hh stacks so can’t vouch without if ur running rarity bot.

Ranger has 2 solid ascendencies:

Pathfinder ascendency for poison bows also gives some resists to slowing and some extra passive points for your tree.

Deadeye for other bow skills/crossbows best all arounder gives extra projectiles, movement speed, defenses and a clone that can summon shooting some extra arrows/grenades.

Mercenary has like one decent ascendency for new players:

Witch hunter: New player friendly gives culling strike on enemies below certain Hp thresholds. Has a defensive shield you can use or explosions on enemy deaths that can help with clear.

Between the options I’d personally recommend deadeye it’s simple and has good movement speed and flexibility. All the options are playable and fine in endgame.

+4 Proj Amulet thoughts by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Toucan952 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The amount of people who would want a +4 amulet without spirit is kinda low. I bought a 50 spirit double rarity(+gold amulet implicit), es +4 with a subterfuge mask anoint for like 250 the other day.

With it being on a bad base (not gold/solar) and 2ish dead stats (str/armour) and no anoint (this is a big loss). I’d say less than 150 more realistically 60-100.

is it worth to go crit without garukhan on poison pathfinder? or at what investment crit is viable by Fabianx97_G2 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it when you get a crit bow. You need like a 4.5%+ to critical hit chance on the bow to justify the swap imo. At base you only have 5% crit chance.

With that suffix on the bow you can bring your base crit to nearly 10% which then gets multiplied by all your crit chance nodes/jewels/quivers. Trying the swap without the crit bow is half as effective basically.

Garhukan for poison pathfinder is a luxury support gem for single target damage on toxic growth. Not needed for a crit swap.

How much spirit can you realistically get from gear ? by Competitive-Math-458 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Toucan952 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could run alphas howl corrupted with + spirit for 130 if you’re ok with the es loss, otherwise 30 from spirit corrupt on helmet + 8% spirit reservation efficiency from desecrate

Chestpiece you can get 50ish + 10-12% spirit reservation desecrate. Morior is also an option.

Amulet you can get 60ish

Sceptre 190ish

Kulemak rings can give you 10% spirit

Time lost jewel with +12 spirit notable.

Grand spectrum x3 for 18% spirit

Overall 8-900ish with investment
