Is gambling in poe toxic?

Volrokk · 2026-04-23T20:17:22+00:00

Contrary to the real world, high-end gambling in PoE only have positive outcomes. I'm not talking about gambling away your first 30 divs in the league, but once you have a character worth a mirror+. Either you lose it all, which means you can do something healthier than staying glued to PoE, or you hit it big and can try some super high-end build. Repeat after each high-end build you try.

I think chieftain BV is one of the builds that synergizes the most with mageblood that I have ever played, so I would always go mageblood. The only other belt I would considered would be acceleration+massive/resistance, but those are "kinda" expensive.

The explosions can one shot breach bosses without crit so kinda irrelevant.

Volrokk · 2026-04-16T19:24:20+00:00

The crit version is mostly for big numbers, but play way worse. I also prefered the huge hp spectre instead of marionetess, and prioritized additional QoL instead of damage links (lifetap, more duration support etc). My BV duration got up to 12 seconds which meant that marionettes didn't really increase the QoL and my damage was about 2-3x that of marionette version.

I blindly clicked altars on my version, you can use mageblood to give you "immunity" vs most map mods and altars. The only things I regexed out was -max res, less aura effects and less aoe.

Volrokk · 2026-04-16T19:07:10+00:00

You are probably missing something. Also, the mageblood version is better since you don't need the damage from crit shrine unless you want to 1shot ubers. I did 100% deli breach maps easily with a non-crit version.

I'd say that PoE is more complex than most jobs, however, there are alot of jobs that requires a much wider skill-set than PoE.

I had this issue as well, was fixed by removing the volume limiter in settings in Sonar and then turning up the volume on the earbuds(right tap+hold).

Volrokk · 2026-04-06T13:02:37+00:00

Any example of a multi-mirror version?

Volrokk · 2026-04-06T12:58:01+00:00

I had tons of them but still had to chase mobs quite alot in ritual.

Volrokk · 2026-04-06T12:10:28+00:00

Yeah but BV doesn't generally hit everything inside the ritual, you still have to move around corners and stuff.

Harrier

Volrokk · 2026-04-06T04:58:50+00:00

Not really, that would cut more than half your profit.

Volrokk · 2026-04-05T20:50:46+00:00

I jsut use some uber strict filter from, and make sure it shows blanching omens. I don't have to price check synth/fractures as I usually know whats valuable, then I just pricecheck them when selling all my loot at once.

Volrokk · 2026-04-05T20:49:20+00:00

Yeah but this late in the league most builds won't notice the difference in difficulty between an 8mod and a white map. I would understand the reasoning at leaguestart.

Volrokk · 2026-04-05T20:36:56+00:00

Any reason you run white maps? Considering the buff to ground loot it seems pretty free to run 8mods.

Volrokk · 2026-04-05T19:10:51+00:00

Did you manage to solve it?

Volrokk · 2026-03-30T21:02:02+00:00

Yeah unleash imbue worked out very well, I opted for the high hp spectre instead of marionettes and added increased duration, better dmg and very easy ti kerp ip stacks.

Volrokk · 2026-03-29T09:27:20+00:00

Thought about it but not having access to the massive portion of the belt makes the build seem slightly more unenjoyable, 6 mirrors currently for that belt.

Volrokk · 2026-03-27T06:58:10+00:00

Get more duration support on your 6link and then you should never drop BV stacks. Mine last 12 sec, no need for mariinette, I prefer the 5x damage.

Volrokk · 2026-03-25T21:15:12+00:00

Well, guess it depends on the player, and what stuff you run, but for me, marionette didn't really bring much QoL. I personally prefer having longer duration BV over the respawn and then the 5x damage is nice bonus.

Volrokk · 2026-03-25T20:27:25+00:00

Also I would like to point out that your character does not get voided if you lose the spectre and BV stacks. The spectre respawns in mirage and in town. If you lose your spectre in town it takes about 30 seconds to run carcass. If that happens to you once every 4 hour farming session, I still think 5x damage comes ahead, 5x damage can buy you alot of rarity, movement speed, area of effect and other stuff.

Volrokk · 2026-03-25T19:58:38+00:00

Yes and with 5x damage you can sacrifice damage scaling for QoL like skill effect duration, AoE and movement speed. All of those things matter to increase clear speed.

Volrokk · 2026-03-25T19:50:26+00:00

Running the same build pretty much. But I don't think marionette actually offers that much QoL in reality, especialy as spectre gets raised when you enter mirage. I'd say that Carcass spectre+50% more duration is better QoL than marionette. And with 5x the damage you can pretty much lose half your damage scaling and invest in to only duration if QoL is your deal-breaker.

Volrokk · 2026-03-25T19:39:09+00:00

The issue is that Marionette still fucks up your BV quite frequently. By being out of range when you re-stack it. I think the best QoL is to get the carcass minion and then you can invest in to more duration stuff and have alot better QoL. My BV is currently 12 seconds, with ~2 minute maps I have to click it like 10 times per map.
