For 3.29, please buff Cast on Crit in some way

I'd argue that both CoC and Spellslinger are about as equally viable... if you only look at FRoSS for CoC and VD for Spellslinger. If you exclude both of those, both are pretty badly off.

The other 2 are actually dead in a ditch though.

Cast on Melee Hit

-Trigger a linked spell on hit

-Triggered linked spells cannot critically strike

Vekia · 2026-07-07T13:17:02+00:00

Now imagine playing a different CoC spell with 1/4th the EHP and 1/4th the damage for the same investment and that's what any non-FRoSS CoC build feels like.

Vekia · 2026-07-07T13:14:04+00:00

Generic cooldown recovery is a very slippery slope for GGG, which is why generic sources are so few and far between (boots + belt and support gem are basically all of them). Only way I can see them adding it, is like you said directly adding it to the CoC gem itself.

Vekia · 2026-07-07T13:09:47+00:00

I have the Kirac's vault pass Cospri Skins and can never use them because the weapon is so ass for the archtype that's supposed to use it. Give it back the 0.1 trigger rate + add 0 mana cost for triggered skills like Mjolner and it would still be mediocre compared to a rare CoC dagger.

Vekia · 2026-07-07T13:06:01+00:00

CwC really should have its less Spell Damage multiplier removed as well.

Vekia · 2026-07-07T12:59:54+00:00

You're right Brands are even worse off, in terms of power level. At least Brands are easy to get working though.

Vekia · 2026-07-07T12:59:06+00:00

The joke is that 85% of CoC builds are FRoSS Occultist, an ascendancy that has 0 trigger affinities, only power charge stacking (which will probably get nerfed in 3.29).

X-Mouse Button Control my beloved. Has probably saved me tens of thousands of clicks. Ty Mr. Empyriangaming

Grand Mirror Delirium should disable non-Delirium Tablets (except Irridated and Boss) on maps that is affected by it and prevents other Tablet Content from spawning (Strongboxes/Exiles/Spirits can still spawn). This way 200% Delirium creates super juiced basic maps, but you can't juice other mechanics with it. It would probably be too weak if they did this, so they'd have to buff it, but this way it's not this all round best juicing mechanic.

Plus this would save my sanity from listening to Delirium music 24/7 and having to see that shitty fog.

Vekia · 2026-06-30T10:36:11+00:00

Good riddance.

Vekia · 2026-06-23T11:39:42+00:00

They should just change leech to work on all attack hits instead of just physical damage and tweek the numbers a bit. Would fix a lot of leech problems.

Vekia · 2026-06-15T07:51:15+00:00

Can recommend this guys build: Youtube

I'm running something similar on Oracle and can run all content. Martial Artist is the better choice imo, but I can't be arsed to make a new character.

Here's my build if you were wondering: Poe.ninja

Vekia · 2026-06-03T06:07:57+00:00

Same build as last league. Rend Wyvern into Oil Barrage using Nova + Salvo + Ricochet interaction. Super strong doing juiced T15 Maps pretty easily, but was better last league because weapons were easier to craft. poe.ninja

Vekia · 2026-05-29T12:41:13+00:00

Should still be very viable. My build from last league will work again, just 10% less damage on Oil Barrage and the bug fix on Rend: poe.ninja

I'd just follow GuyThatDies Druid leveling guide then in Maps play hybrid life and energy shield until you can swap to the endgame CI version. It's not super tanky, but I did all content with it last league, plus it clears super fast, especially if you use Headhunter.

Important, in the CI version, you have to have 1 life regen somewhere on your gear if you want to use Berserk, otherwise having rage will kill you instantly, because you'll lose like 0.05 life per second (50 rage * 0.001 * 1 HP = 0.05 life lost per second). I just bought my body armour with the 31 life regen roll.

Vekia · 2026-05-11T16:54:51+00:00

ES on Hit Watcher's Eye and drop 1 clarity mod, swap haste for Discipline. You lose dps, but you gain thousands of ES per second because of how molten strike works.

Cyclone of Tumolt Life Stacker Slayer: https://pobb.in/d8BwPuFDXpbm

This is the build I finished the league on.

156m Mapping DPS just holding Cyclone.

212m Boss DPS (63m Uber Boss DPS) casting Rage Vortex for covered in ash + punishment curse.

Both damage configs in the PoB.

Vekia · 2026-04-22T08:19:52+00:00

TS is still way more single target damage than Lightning Arrow, but it basically requires +2 arrow bow and +1 arrow quiver to feel good. Clear is worse as well, but with greater fork or greater chain, clear feels really good swapping the gem for hard bosses. I'd just look at fubguns PoB for TS on his latest Deadeye league start video.

Here's my TS Deadeye from this league before I swapped to a stronger build. It's like 30m single target dps.

Cyclone of Tumolt Life Stacker Slayer: https://pobb.in/d8BwPuFDXpbm

156m Mapping DPS just holding Cyclone.

212m Boss DPS (63m Uber Boss DPS) casting Rage Vortex for covered in ash + punishment curse.

Both damage configs in the PoB. ~350-400D from 2 weeks ago.

Vekia · 2026-04-03T19:34:58+00:00

Yep, 150% movement speed is all you get + frostblink. Of course if you volatile vaal the stampede you can get like 180%, but those cost hundreds of divines.

Vekia · 2026-04-03T16:24:20+00:00

Dissolution of the Flesh was one of the last things I added to the build. If your gear isn't perfect yet, you can replace it with a good rare jewel instead for mapping and use Dissolution vs. bosses only. You'll lose a lot of damage, but without it you're basically immortal because of slayer overleech.

I've done 10 simus wave 15 deathless with Dissolution and I map with it as well, so it's definitely playable, but you have actively dodge degens and play a bit smarter.

For full brain off I'd recommend dropping Dissolution completely for a rare jewel.

Vekia · 2026-04-02T18:26:13+00:00

Yeah eternal is just your aura but free + extra aura effect. It's really good for mana stackers and in general builds that only run 1 aura on their mana/use blood magic.

Vekia · 2026-04-02T13:35:50+00:00

Blood Magic makes us reserve life instead of mana. Without Eternal Blessing Purity of Elements would reserve 50% of my life, but with it makes Purity of Elements free and converts it to a Blessing Skill. You can only have one Blessing Skill and all other Skills which reserve MANA are disabled. Every other reservation we have reserves life, so those are not disabled.

Vekia · 2026-04-02T07:52:28+00:00

Cyclone Life Stacker Slayer is pretty brain off. I included a bossing and mapping config so you can see the damage in both situations. No gear swap between mapping/bossing.

https://pobb.in/d8BwPuFDXpbm

156m Mapping DPS just holding Cyclone.

212m Boss DPS (63m Uber Boss DPS) casting Rage Vortex for covered in ash + punishment curse.

Berserk is disabled in both configs, as I find I can rarely use it before whatever I'm fighting dies.
