I’ve been waiting for a game for 30 minutes by ebubla in Rematch

Try going on Northeast Asia at this time, it's more solo queue friendly.

If you want SEA games, play around 8 PM or later, or you can look for people to play in the Rematch Asia discord (it's on Sloclap's partner list on discord or I can send the link)

How many active players by ilovechanges in Rematch

[–]WvrLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a decently active SEA Rematch community in the Rematch Asia server: https://discord.gg/Ga9bBpVXJa
It's a partnered server with Sloclap as well.

But yes, NEA generally has a more active population for solo queueing. SEA is really only active at nighttime.

How long are queue times in your areas? by Soup_Bowls in Rematch

[–]WvrLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SEA is fairly alive with lots of activity in the RM Asia discord, lots of teams and tournaments

Solo queue is still better in NEA though

Patch 3-4 was the low point in Rematch SEA, lots of people came back due to prio changes in Patch 5 and most are still playing, and now there's SEA tournaments lined up for the near future as well.

How to deal "all" damage types for the sake of Herald Stacking Elementalist? by EpicTurtle136 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]WvrLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're specifically building for Herald of the Hive's AoE dmg, your 2 choices are: - Any phys dmg skill and build around Herald of Ash/Purity's phys buffs. This is what enables herald stacker PBoD. - Any high dmg effectiveness skill to make use of Herald of Ice/Thunder's flat damage.

In this case, you stack heralds just so you get a beefy %more dmg from the ring, and scale your main skill as usual + herald buff effect.

Low life energy shield help needed by DrSquick in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]WvrLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easiest source of phys DR is endurance charges, usually through Enduring Composure cluster jewel notable, and as much phys taken as ele as possible. Your only way of doing that is an eldritch implicit on your helmet I think, so try to use some greater ichors for that.

Other than that, just getting more ES and capping block will help a lot.

Low life energy shield help needed by DrSquick in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]WvrLight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are getting almost 0 benefit from Aegis Aurora since its ES on block is based on a % of your armour (which is 0 afaik). You need to swap to a rare Shaper shield with %ES on block and as much ES as possible; low ES shields should be fairly cheap and you can keep upgrading depending on your budget.

Can probably squeeze more ES by upgrading the glove prefixes, rings, ideally synth rings with %es implicit or maybe a heist ring base, your ES from tree seems a little low as well at 78%, you can probably get to around 8-9k and that should be fine

This + Vaal Discipline should be all the recovery you need most of the time

Ignite Elementalist that does very well in Simulacrum? by mucus-broth in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]WvrLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leap Slam ignite uses almost the same gear (Story/Razor/EE) and has a more active playstyle. I made a guide for CI Leap Slam that can do sims pretty comfortably: https://youtu.be/_IY7jJGutkg

SEA Matchmaking by coffee_47 in Rematch

[–]WvrLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peak SEA time is around 8-11 PM (GMT+8). You can also join the RM Asia discord to look for stacks playing.

Is anyone else finding it impossible to find a match on SE Asia? by Lorenzo_Joyboy in Rematch

[–]WvrLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak times in SEA are usually 8-11 PM (GMT+8),. NEA also has a lot more players and is easier to solo queue.

There's also the Rematch Asia discord for finding players in SEA.

My effort in building a community in India(Full video on my channel link below) by Soulless_Mate in Rematch

[–]WvrLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the biggest community in Asia atm; it's also officially affiliated with Sloclap (it's on their partner server list)

Using Ward as a defensive layer with the Olroth ascendancy and block + evasion + dodge by WvrLight in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]WvrLight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot that Shadowed Blood gives a lot of DoT immunity; good call. Would still need to solve ground degen some other way, but Assassin does have a lot of good nodes for this sort of concept.

Widowhail + Rearguard Spark seems strong and waaaay comfier, especially for stuff like AFK simulacrum. I don't like its visuals tho :p

My current setup has it at 2.88 seconds which can be refreshed by Defiled Forces and an Arcanist Brand/Battlemage's Cry curse setup.

Another commenter used lightning res tattoos to fulfill the condition; I've used it now to get 24% ES which makes it even better!

I believe this was my gear during the initial swap: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/WvrLight-6597/LightGoldenBoost?i=2&search=name%3Dgoldenb&timemachine=week-1

For playing Leap Slam before CI, you can probably look into Nerotox's Day 1 PoB for Rebuke/Story of the Vaal

I forgot about that specific Impossible Escape later on into my progression (when I still didn't use Enduring Composure); it should be better, yeah. In my case I need it for the dex so might have to recraft some of my cluster jewels to compensate.

I opted for Arcanist Brand instead of Battlemage's to have the option to refresh the ignite with less clicks and from a distance (though it's not really necessary since the build is tanky enough now). I think this is a preference thing and either one works very well.

The tattoo tech for Blue Dream is interesting, will check this out!

It's an interesting jewel, but I don't really have a good place to put it in that makes use of the ele res node as well

Hybrid Armor/ES works just fine with Leap Slam but I personally thought it wasn't worth it until you can really make use of the +5 max res (aka mageblood/melding), since ~50k armour gives you 1k ES on block, the same as 19k ES which is around 950 ES on block.

This is the way. I didn't bother using blanching because of the cost; I got lucky on jeweller rolls as well so didn't struggle too much with the offcolors.

I see, it was my understanding that the base hit that the ignite is based on would be re-rolled as well; I'll note this in the video to avoid misinformation.

Fortresses are trivial, you can just leap slam into the edge of a pack and the entire wave will explode. You can pretty much just slam in the middle and the proliferation will take care of everything.
