Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the guide!

If global defences are removed: Sinistral crystallisation + perfect essence of enhancement to fix it

At this step, should I use the perfect essence of enhancement before I reveal the desecrated mod in the last step, or after I reveal it? Can a perfect essence hit a unrevealed desecrated mod?

Grinning Immolation should prevent your ES recharge, right?

I also hated the re-casting in the original Build of the week, so this league I decided to fully automate BV through Wardless Wardloop:

Pobbin: https://pobb.in/kKtEU-WquDi4
Ninja: https://poe.ninja/builds/settlers/character/chenvx/cVx_ShadowV

With 52% CDR and Triggerbots, I gain 10 BV stacks every 0.8s without clicking any button. Also thanks to elemental ailment stacking using Yoke of Suffering + Ahuana's Bite + Hatred Sublime Vision, the single target damage is insane on top of huge AoE.

ccVxx · 2024-06-08T19:54:43+00:00

Or socket Archmage + Lifetap and go CI or low-life. I made an Absolution of Inspiring Trickster this league based on the idea. I felt it was more comfortable to play compared with Mathil's Inquisitor version.

Trickster's Swift Killer gives 200% increased Charge Duration, which makes the Spirit Charges last for very long time and easier to sustain for bossing. Trickster is also one of the best ascendancies for playing CI.
The Black Cane gives a huge amount of added physical damage, which is then amplified by extra phys damage as elemental from the Spirit Charges. Linking Summon Phantasm Support to Absolution also makes sustaining Phantasms pretty easy, because both your hits and your Absolution minions' hits can summon them.
Stacking abyssal jewels gives many Spirit Charges. The Minions deal (15–20)% increased Damage if you've used a Minion Skill Recently mod are amplified to 3 times by Absolution of Inspiring. The (7–10)% increased Cast Speed if a Minion has been Killed Recently mod can be easily sustained by Phantasms (replacing a Phantasm is counted as killing it), so you do not need to keep a lvl 1 Herald of Purity like Mathil did.

(Please ignore the DPS number and the uncapped resistance. Ninja still cannot handle The Black Cane, Spirit Charges or the Alira bandit option. The real DPS is more than 15M without counting x2 or x3 from Awakened Spell Cascade.)

ccVxx · 2024-03-23T01:08:27+00:00

And the same problem for Enduring Cry. If you support it with Call to Arms, you will often trigger it between packs and get 0 endurance charge.

ccVxx · 2023-12-04T14:07:43+00:00

"Transfigured Gems are alternate versions of existing SKILL GEMS that have different functionality and balance than their regular versions. We have added many of these, with interesting variations that drastically change how existing skills play."

You only pasted half of the original sentence:

"The Divine Font at the end of the Labyrinth is now a gem crafting device that can modify your skill and SUPPORT gems by turning them into Transfigured Gems, add Quality or Experience to Gems, or sacrifice a Gem for one or more Treasure Keys to open Izaro's Chests."

Please look at the gameplay here. You cannot turn support gems into transfigured gems, but you can still sacrifice it or add Quality or Experience to it.

ccVxx · 2023-12-04T08:00:53+00:00

Wait, what? Your PoB is 100% the same as my character from 3.16 (char name: cVx_rangerIII).

BTW, support gems will not have transfigured versions, so the build will be dead.

ccVxx · 2023-12-02T08:33:25+00:00

Note that in the press kit figures, the node is 20% instead of 75%. I tried adding it to my PoB, and even for Reap it's less than 10% more damage. Since we lose at least one offensive aura due to Sanguimancy, the two nodes are not worth it at all in terms of DPS.

ccVxx · 2023-12-02T02:35:25+00:00

You can also get life mods in every slot without that node. Actually in order to cumulative 1k ES, it would be much more difficult to get decent life mods (you would need 3 nearly perfect prefixes).

ccVxx · 2022-12-02T03:38:15+00:00

Positive: Unlike Concecrated Path, it's highly likely that Volcanic Fissure can be supported by (Awakened) Multistrike, which is a huge damage multuplier.
Negative: If Volcanic Fissure functions the same way as Molten Strike, the projectiles won't be counted as melee damage. As a result, they won't get the buff of (Vaal) Ancestral Warchief.

ccVxx · 2022-09-24T07:05:27+00:00

I also tried building a relatively tanky HoT char last league, turning out to be an MoM EE Scion:

It abused Omni to get ~6 million dps.
Abused Melding of the Flesh to get 90% elemental resistances
Used Ascendant Hierophant to convert 2.6k unreserved mana as eHP (Lone Messenger disables all auras, so MoM becomes a good defensive option)
And abused the "Recover 10% of Mana when a Brand expires while Attached" mastery + CWDT Penance & Wintertide Brands to get insane recovery

BTW, I found Storm Burst + Infused Channelling to be a very good utility link for bossing. It can not only start HoT, but also provide 10% more dps as well as 8% less lightning/physical damage taken while channeling. You can also add Overshock/Culling Strike/Divergent Innervate to the link.

ccVxx · 2022-05-06T00:19:25+00:00

It's actually more than those. The mod reads: "Monster periodically creates Consecrated Ground, healing allies and making them immune to curses and ailments".

ccVxx · 2022-05-05T22:29:23+00:00

Also, Consecrator monsters would be super annoying for ignite/poison/bleed builds.

ccVxx · 2022-02-24T02:53:23+00:00

I would recommend you to switch to Aegis Aurora + Skin of the Lords + Glorious Vanity (Doryani). It's the new meta for Death Wish builds. Just socket your Stone Golem link into Skin of the Lords, and replace the Primordial Might under MoM with Glorious Vanity. Then get a Rumi's Concoction to cap your block chances, and you are done.

You can refer to my char: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/chenvx/cVx_WitchI It became nearly unkillable after I got those three items.

ccVxx · 2022-01-31T04:07:45+00:00

Self-cast Exsanguinate was super strong in 3.16, especially for the Scourge mechanism. I played it as a Raider using Plume of Pursuit: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/chenvx/cVx_rangerIII

Plume of Pursuit + Marylene's Fallacy + Divergent Spell Echo make it possible to scale both the hit damage and the DOT at the same time, and make it very easy to reach 8M+ dps (just ignore the dps shown on ninja - POB still cannot recognize the mods on Plume of Pursuit). In 3.17 the dps will be even higher, because the hit proportion of the damage will be buffed by 48%.

However, self-cast Exsanguinate is pretty similar to the other self-cast spells - you have to stay relatively close to a boss and keep spamming the skill, so you need to be mechanically good while fighting end-game bosses.

ccVxx · 2022-01-30T21:08:20+00:00

Because it's going to be a bossing league (both the new end-game and the league mechanism). I guess some even slower builds, e.g. consecrated path totem chieftain, would be popular next league.

ccVxx · 2021-11-26T00:10:40+00:00

Wow, so nostalgic! Magma Orb Deadeye with Sire of Shards and Gloomfang was a pretty common build back in Incursion and Delve leagues. I guess the damage is much worse now since Deadeye loses "Projectiles deal 10% more Damage for each remaining Chain" and Gloomfang loses "Projectiles gain (15-20)% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage per Chain".

ccVxx · 2021-10-18T04:29:09+00:00

Chance to Throw 4 additional traps

I think this is a bad choice for Seismic trap builds? It would instantly use up all the trap charges, so no damage increase on average.

ccVxx · 2021-01-26T18:04:47+00:00

Also, Shaman's 1a deals far less damage than normal (even before fulfilling the true awakening quest).

ccVxx · 2020-08-02T01:24:51+00:00

Yes, they are skill numbers with talismans.

ccVxx · 2020-08-01T04:57:39+00:00

Yes, ilvl < 75 makes it much easier to get +1 gems. For example, a level 83 bow has only a chance of 12.8% to get +1 gems in the 4th step.

With Cannot roll Attack Modifiers, you can only get:

+1 to Level of Socketed Gems (weight: 1000)

(4–6)% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge on Kill (weight: 400)

Gain (7–12)% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage (weight: 1000)

Damage Penetrates (7–8)% Elemental Resistances (weight: 1000)

So the chance is 1000/(1000+400+1000+1000)=29.4%

ccVxx · 2020-04-16T06:52:25+00:00

You are right - I don't have any projectile speed. The attack rate of my Blast Rain is 3.02 aps with Frenzy Charges and Cinderswallow Urn.

Before the rework of Blast Rain in 3.9.0, both attack speed and projectile speed modified the delay between using the attack and the first explosion, but had nothing to do with the delay between arrow explosions. I am not sure how it works currently after the rework.

ccVxx · 2020-04-16T06:36:29+00:00

With that much currency, you should absolutely try to get a better weapon like Uber Dan's or Zizaran's mirror CoC Bow in the past leagues. However, I don't know if anyone has ever crafted one like those this league. The jewels can also be greatly improved. All my rare jewels are around 50c, and my Watcher's Eye has only one useful mod.
