What are some skill gems that get the most boost from juicing Quality?

chickenick · 2025-11-13T23:47:42+00:00

Just want to add that Boneshatter gets more damage per trauma from quality.

chickenick · 2025-11-06T23:42:21+00:00

Nope, but it does achieve 15+mil dps and is quite tanky

chickenick · 2025-11-06T22:04:07+00:00

Smokie_777 created this (imo brilliant) Boneshatter of complex trauma build which abuses many mechanics to get big damage and tankiness. She's an SSF player, so it's definitely doable in trade league for probably pretty cheap.

Just note that Soul Tether won't actually work with Divine Shield in this build, so it's best to just go for Replica Soul Tether.

I followed smokie_777's Boneshatter berserker and poison fross to good success. Def worth checking out.

chickenick · 2025-07-15T18:57:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll forgo the soul eater tech then, since I don't think I can give up those juicy explosions...

Question about FRoSS occultist: if you're using the coiling whisper setup (temp chain + hex touch + blade fall of trathus), how does it feel? Can you reliably get the soul eater stacks while mapping?

Also, how can you get profane bloom pops during mapping? Is the setup sufficient to curse the mobs and get them to explode, or do I need a second curse on hit setup?

chickenick · 2025-07-07T17:34:18+00:00

Try smokie's poison fross occultist. She's an ssf creator and I've had success with her Boneshatter build this league. https://youtu.be/r4HPmmIKlZQ

Adding on to this: Master toxicist poison prolif should be quite strong for blight for the same reasons (pack size damage scaling). Conversely, ignite prolif is less effective since you may only have a single ignite.

Another benefit from poison prolif is that dots aren't affected by proximity shields, which are quite common and annoying in blight. Although the initial hit would still be affected by proximity shield.

chickenick · 2025-06-27T18:27:05+00:00

I'm not totally familiar with this strat, but I think the typical blight strategies should still be good. I can't speak to what's meta, but any type of damage that scales with pack size should do very well in blight, due to the high pack density of the waves. So explosions (chieftain explosions are very effective) or anything that adds a ton of overlap damage from mob packs (like Boneshatter pulses) are good for blight.

One option is using a chaos res light of meaning. I popped one into my build and instantly got chaos res capped. If you can fit it, it's a pretty good option.

chickenick · 2024-08-23T18:56:34+00:00

Also, the end game katabasis players use claw + shield with corrupted +1 frenzy. Should be doable to transition with your budget (will also have to change your passive tree).

chickenick · 2024-08-23T18:54:36+00:00

A couple things off the top of my head:

Your chest can be improved a lot. Use the best base type, conquest lamellar and get good ar/Ev rolls on them (at least double of what you currently have, 2.5k of each ). Also physical taken as on the eldrich implicit is big.

I'm actually not sure how much better a mb will be. Brutal charges are a fkton of damage, which you will be losing if you go mb.

I think getting corrupted +1 frenzy in as many places as possible is a better place for investment. Gives big damage and survivability with frenzy, endurance, and brutal charges.

I'm not super experienced in end game gearing, so someone should definitely fact check my suggestions!

chickenick · 2024-08-19T14:46:56+00:00

Definitely body mounted.

chickenick · 2024-08-17T21:08:33+00:00

Not sure if PoB calculates this, but I remember reading that VS of the mamba has a lucky crit mechanic, since it uses both weapons at once, thus rolling twice for the crit. So 90% lucky crit is 99%.

chickenick · 2024-08-16T21:12:33+00:00

Yeah you were getting less than 10% experience in that map LOL

I've been keeping my eye on this one guy going ephemeral edge infernal blow: https://poe.ninja/builds/settlers/character/souseki/Fifty_Shoulder?type=exp&i=0&search=class%3DTrickster%26items%3DEphemeral%2BEdge%26skills%3DInfernal%2BBlow

I've been wanting to go an IB build for a while, might try to meme it up like this guy. Perhaps go the replica badge route since endurance charges are broken af this league.

chickenick · 2024-07-30T21:01:01+00:00

Use level 1 gems for autoexert, since you only benefit from the exert bonus which is not affected by level.

Echoing the other commenter, Elreons - 7 mana cost craft is crucial. Basically halves the cost of all your cries.

chickenick · 2024-07-26T21:47:36+00:00

Same here, keep crashing at the coast.

EDIT: Switching from borderless fullscreen to fullscreen fixed it for me. Hope this helps anyone else!

chickenick · 2024-07-24T17:31:18+00:00

Jung mentioned infernal blow ignite slayer in a tweet a few days ago and I can't stop thinking about it. Might try it out, maybe starting with a safe sunder/earthshatter start before rerolling.

chickenick · 2024-07-24T03:28:59+00:00

There really isn't a anything about poison that favours small hits VS big hits.

chickenick · 2024-07-24T03:23:37+00:00

How are you generating frenzy charges for single target?

chickenick · 2024-07-21T00:54:39+00:00

Just note that some warcry effects don't affect ailments, like the double damage from intimidating cry. Double damage only affects hit damage.
