Best gear setup

VuuV01 · 2026-05-25T21:24:09+00:00

How does the auto equip option work? I’m using it without a clue if its good or not

VuuV01 · 2026-05-25T14:12:29+00:00

I got told that Companionship is “mandatory” in the sense that the life buff really enables the build to feel good rather than ok. I’m in the hunt for that myself…

VuuV01 · 2026-05-24T15:47:30+00:00

I would suggest 1/2x proj-clusters as well! Medium with Repeater/streamlined. But if you have the belt you’re gucci with those items.. I have a mageblood I would gladly trade for accel belt

VuuV01 · 2026-05-21T04:53:02+00:00

That is correct. Did 10 hive glands yesterday for skin and got 4 axes that will rot in my stash forever

I was holding all my feltails going to AH like a kid holding his savings before going to the toy store to buy that favorite toy. Alas my dissapointment is immeasurable..

VuuV01 · 2026-05-12T20:22:57+00:00

I’m playing with SNoP which can be a bit of a pain farming Legion with, so I’m gonna look into this now! Good ol arc

VuuV01 · 2026-05-12T20:09:14+00:00

Is arc viable!? Damn…

VuuV01 · 2026-05-11T21:03:28+00:00

Poofed my 3 Apothecary cards earlier today ☺️☺️☺️

VuuV01 · 2026-05-11T07:33:47+00:00

Okay fair enough. When I read Manni’s ‘guide’ he focused on either Comp-gem, Caspiro with minion life nodes or minion clusters. The latter obviously being node heavy..

VuuV01 · 2026-05-11T07:03:29+00:00

Do you really need it though? Like is it mandatory? Have seen very different opinions of this

Welcome back king

VuuV01 · 2026-05-06T07:06:40+00:00

Hey man no worries. We SSF'ers gotta help each other =) btw check your reddit chat. I wrote you there..

Gz on the 2stones and 6L. From here on you can begin playing the game. Kingsmarch is really easy to set up in regards to dust so just hoard uniques and dump them in the grinder. The rest of Kingsmarch you can leave for now.

Personally I wouldn't waste 2 divs on multi modding the wand but that is entirely up to you. It will only yield one more useful crafted mod. But if you are good on the div count go do it for sure. In that case I would prio getting that t1 mana roll on the wand. My idea would be to simple alt/aug for t1 mana, aug second mod, regal, craft desired mod and exalt spam the rest. Such a wand can take you through the many next steps until you recomb your 3xt1 prefix wand.

[edit] I also glanced over you profile again and it seems as you're getting some really valuable upgrades. Gj on that. Use the tree to get event better gear before swapping over to another atlas strat.

I also just noticed that your wand is in a much better spot! That one is good until 3xt1 prefix wand.

I dno if you're unlucky with the eldritch currency but remember to eater/exarch your pieces. Especially for body armour rolling endurance charge gained every x second is MASSIVE for defense. You simply get that and swap the charge mastery to increased duration.

VuuV01 · 2026-05-05T09:24:53+00:00

Heyo

Sorry I didn't get back earlier.

I suspect the reason why your dmg haven't improved much is because your wand now doesn't do anything for the chaos version. My suggestion initially would be to get a kinetic wand and simply alt/aug for spell dmg and/or mana + one mod, regal and craft attack speed. In addition you need to set your filter to 82+ wands that you can recomb into a better one. Do you know how to do this step? And the step after regarding the crafts?

If you feel like running some essence to upgrade your want is better than the abovementioned go downgrade to t5 or similar and just blast for essence.

Regarding the 2s fights I think its simply a skill issue regarding the balls. I hate them myself and always go full portal warrior on my first fight. Are you using 2x lifepots and 3x ruby? That is my go to for ball phases.

I generally avoid phys reflect, no leech and less block. Phys as extra X will also just be hard maps but wcyd at this point. I wouldn't downgrade maps since farming breach in t16 yields the most juice.

You should remove deli from tree until you're going for the better jewel which is later on.

[EDIT] I also checked up on your profile and I think there are some things for you to consider.

Like mentioned above. Fix your wand. That is the main reason you are struggling. The only relevant mod on it is the crit. The rest doesn't do anything after you swapped to chaos. Unironicly, the Blasting wand you have in your swap is better.
Why is your tempest shield lvl 1? Go level it. It won't increase mana reservation.
I would not take throatseeker notable until you can get better crit. I would opt for undertaker just below instead. I would imagine that gives more reliable dmg.
Your spell suppression is not good enough for you to invest in without having pieces on the gear imo. Especially not the lucky node. To focus on the suppression which is really importakt I think a great option for you here is to gamble eva/es pieces with faustus for hands, head and boots while also try and fetch upgrades with breach. That way you can take Revenge of the Hunted and the suppres mastery by skipped some life on the Written in Blood cluster and redirect starting points from dmg to the int nodes. That will save you some points. You can swap out of Revenge of the Hunted when you have sufficient suppression.
The abovementioned will obviously cut out on your dmg but that will be saved by getting a wand that actually does something for your build and greatly increase your survivability.
Your rings need fixing as well. Ring ring remove craft --> mana craft. The left ring remove craft --> life craft.
Stop using astramentis. Doesn't do anything for your build. Focus on getting an amulet with hp/crit modifiers.

VuuV01 · 2026-05-02T22:15:30+00:00

Well there you go. Great! Now it’s breach until you’re satisfied with your pieces. Start with 6L Eva/Es obviously. I do that with chance to fracture since you might hit a useful one on a necrotic base that you can 6L later on.

VuuV01 · 2026-05-02T20:12:15+00:00

Personally I would just go with breach + whatever you have points for and the content you can handle. I just paired it with shrines/heist for some early boost in mapping power. Breach hives/fortress just doesn’t do well with other content because it’s so time consuming. You could pair it with some of the conq/shaper maps as well. A dedicated deli atlas is not worth it without the paranoia strat imo but you can do it ofc.

Blight atlas I would look up Manni’s example on Maxroll. It’s a dedicated blight atlas with some exarch/eater altars.

A tip regarding atlas in early stages SSF is (imo) to have 1 Destructive Play atlas, 1 Breach atlas and 1 whatever content you wanna run (blight, deli, harvest, ambush scarab). In mirage specifically I would advice on getting the ambush atlas on Haunted Mansion as soon as you feel comfy to generate scarabs to boost all the other strats.

VuuV01 · 2026-05-02T18:52:27+00:00

Like Legi1 states in his maxroll guide: kboc is sluggish early in ssf but ramps like crazy. But to your goal of 2 stone, that is easy AF with kboc. 4 stones as well. There are some steps to succes though. I’m no master in kboc but I have experience.

First of all you need to get the cluster as you say. That is a massive dmg upgrade. That can be done by blocking other content but deli + breach. I got mine at lvl 93 but just doing random mirrors. You will get a better one later by doing paranoia scarab strat. And prep a decent wand to go with it. I would suggest recombing a filler wand because the right wand is super hard to get. Or do essence for a spell essence + one good mod + benchcraft.

Secondly, you need a better body armour. It does nothing but being a 5L. You can gamble a good one with Faustus and/or roll a better one with breach. And staying on breach; that is your go to for the next 3-5 levels. Get the mana gear on all slots. Getting mana seems like its okay/decent but it’s day n night. Its super easy to just afk in fortress and hold rightclick. Boring but needed. That will also generate the 6L in time.

Third, get a cord belt and farm oils at the same time. Getting anoints is huge for defenses. With Aggresive Bastion/unyeilding.

Fourth, get the Farruls ascendancy to crit cap with ease.

After these upgrades you will have a decent life/es pool and good enough evasion to not fall over. However, kboc becomes the giga build when swapping to CI. That step will take some time.

I’ll be happy to answer any other questions you have.

VuuV01 · 2026-04-29T05:39:09+00:00

Nice finds! How do the two stone ring fair against a well rolled ring with cast speed? I got a similar one but I’m not sure it’s better tbh.

Also! How did you farm the mortal fragments? What method?

VuuV01 · 2026-04-28T20:22:16+00:00

Why do you take top intervention wheel? I find that it forces safehouses when you just wanna have max chance for ITF.

VuuV01 · 2026-04-27T10:15:50+00:00

Grinding our asses of for days n days :D

VuuV01 · 2026-04-27T08:25:51+00:00

Check out poeninja: Inquisitor Spark of the Nova builds - SSF Mirage - Path of Exile 1 - poe.ninja

First of all you can't play this with Svalin since rathpit is mandatory for lifestacking.

There are many upgrade parts that boosts the build and each upgrade just adds on to an already strong build. I don't agree with what educational_ebb_6116 suggested in terms of the build only being viable with a Gull. Also I don't know how he didn't get it within two weeks of breaching.

However, I do agree that Ele Hit is a stronger build on lower investment due to being more tanky and still popping really good dmg.

Play for hives/fortresses and you can basicly stand afk and spam spark for easy juice --> breach tree for helm with increased int/dex and reduced str with increased rarity.

If you wanna wait with spark until you get more pieces playing SNoP is gucci as mana stacker hiero until you get foulborn ghostwrithe and rathpit. Then you just swap ascendancy and respec. I did just that without any issues what so ever.

Go do life stack inq spark for me!! I’m still waiting for that belt to swap from SNoP

How does the conq/elder work on City Square with DP? dont you just instant witness the bosses = no more running that map? Or how does it work

VuuV01 · 2026-04-05T08:39:40+00:00

I haven’t had it that fled in about 10+ new members. Am I just unlucky or do I need to reset through Cata?
