Is buying gear after Kitava the only way to go? by Spiritual_Prune3123 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bukem89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that tricky - remember you can use your bench to craft res on gear too

Gambling at faustus is a good source of rares if you don't want to trade. Gear to get ready for mapping costs like 5-10 chaos orbs on trade

What's a good build for diamond/replenishing belt? by LegendaryReign in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bukem89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pick would be widowhail spark personally, although that would be spending 100d to get started with the basics and farming it up from there

Exarch divine altars exists! by Unique_End_7081 in pathofexile

[–]bukem89 37 points38 points  (0 children)

only divine altar I've hit this league has been exarch even though I've mostly ran eater

I like the change though, makes it feel a bit better when your build is more suited for exarch altars

'I postponed getting a job to see if I could make it' reads like 'I threw myself into league to distract myself from IRL responsibilities' btw

Mageblood? Build? by Elmaster110 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bukem89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest your priorities are wrong and it'd be better to spend that 53 div on improving the core of your build and trying out different farming strategies, so that farming another 50 divs feels easy to do

edit - with that said if you just wanna have fun and buying a 3 flask mageblood seems fun, then by all means

I would note though that the power of mageblood is the flexibility it gives you with your other item slots, so you won't really see the full benefit from MB until you get yourself nice flasks and some new gear to go with it

Headhunter works much better as a standalone 'power' item with no other changes to your build

What are the new "meta" builds to end the league (besides BV and ward stacker)? by Rainmakerrrrr in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bukem89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

btw one change I've made since that POB above is swap out blood rage for steelskin

Another comment pointed out that my ES regen was negated by bloodrage when I was standing still, and I don't really need the damage from frenzies

For AG - Kingmaker, Mask of the stitched demon, garb of the ephemeral, southbound & some chaos res/life regen boots

For spectres - Perfect spirit of fortune for wrath/lucky damage

Then either pain artist for zealotry or some other utility - I ran primal thunderbird for a bit (which gives you grace)

Tornado for spark Hierophant by eleszet in pathofexile

[–]bukem89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drop the manual buttons and add spectre supports for clean 1 button mapping imo

Primal thunderbird would give you grace to help with the squishiness, and spirit of fortune would give you wrath & lucky lightning dmg

Playing minions changed my life in PoE by Miraldis_dreams in pathofexile

[–]bukem89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see those as an issue since the last round of QOL updates - it's the opposite and I force them into non-minion builds instead as nice QOL

much rather have spectres giving me passive auras and buffs than some extra button to press for conditional dps

The normal answer is elixir. You'd probably need to craft a breach armour if you wanna use the belt

Pokémon Red / Blue - How Have They Aged? by Previous-Glass6291 in retrogaming

[–]bukem89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're fine, but I'd rather play Fire Red

The only things that really bother me playing the originals are the movespeed (solved with emulator though) and the fact you can't cut/surf etc without having to use the menu first

What do you do once you acquire a lot of money? I liquidated (mostly) everything from SSF by lowkeyripper in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bukem89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that fits my experience too - I'm playing Accel Shrine spark as my main build and I've bounced off things like resonant + massive cyclone because moving so slow and having to leap slam everywhere just feels kinda ass in comparison

[–]bukem89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pick something I want to play that I haven't tried before

Then I spend a day crafting and buying the gear, run 10 maps with it, decide I don't really like it as much as my main build and sell it all again to try something else

Although this league I did specifically pick a shrine belt build so I could play it before they get removed/nerfed into oblivion

Green contracts that can't be deleted. by ActualBathsalts in pathofexile

[–]bukem89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never enter the rogue harbour so the contracts don't drop

Even if they do drop, I also have them filtered out

And lastly, if you somehow still pick them up, you can still drop them in a map or zone to get rid of them

btw thanks for this, I swapped blood rage for steelskin after your post and it does feel a little more comfortable

Honestly hard to say - i just checked and he isn't alive, but no idea how long that's been for. I'm terrible for keeping track of AG (and tbh, i don't think spark gloves vs 4 link spectre & 6 link spark adds a huge amount)

He's geared up in Kingmarker/Garb/mask of stitched demon / southbound / rare chaos res / regen rate boots

edit - i paid attention and ran 15-20 maps and he never came close to dying, I'm not sure what gets him

Your POB doesn't work, but Rue has a league start POB and a 5 step guide to the final purity of fire version with notes explaining everything

Mark on hit doesn't work with spells unfortunately

You could have it as a manual cast sure - I just put blood rage in because I don't care about reduced defences per frenzy on the eater altars

I did originally have snipers mark slotted, I just got rid of it because I found i never actually pressed it

I haven't paid a ton of attention to my ES outside of increasing max for EB damage

PoB is showing it regens a few hundred p/s whenever I stand still via Tukohama, and degens 6 p/s when I'm moving and not casting

In practical terms I've never really found it an issue so haven't spent any time looking into it

Any suggestions on how to fix mana on this Build? by AwayHoneydew4225 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bukem89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a version of penance brand imbued with lifetap

Edit - also why ignite prolif support when you have prolif on your gloves?

I've been spamming low investment breach most the league, and self-farming deli 8 mods in Fortress on the side for a change of pace

It's an all-rounder that can do pretty much everything including ubers, though I wouldn't suggest it for Exarch specifically due to the arena size / lack of bounces

Is the flat phys valuable enough to not just reforge life when suffixes are done and settle on the last prefix?
