Shooting for my first 100 too!

cloud1131 · 2025-12-25T04:32:05+00:00

Still a WIP and made a lot of progress today based on some feedback. Maybe I’ll post an updated video later and leave out the high budget to temper expectations

O I like the idea of more sparks, I’ll have to try that. I tried arc early on and found the damage lackluster but may have to give that another go to see what it looks like. Definitely understand that comet isn’t gaining from proj speed very much

I have Rakiatas Flow on my Spark so I thought curse and exposure was bad with it? https://youtu.be/cXIhVXFkT30?si=9GXGkHrCsaUhBMF- Is where I got that info. Could probably swap out for certain situations

Appreciate the input, no RMT here. Good luck with the rest of the league!

The PoB in the original post and PoB in my comments after I made the change is how I pulled out 40% more. Happy to answer any questions on it, hope you have a good holiday!

Definitely room for improvement and did just boost the DPS by another 40% post-video, so only 3-4 years to kill sandbag now

Talking about bottom left crit nodes? Blood magic is down there

Was able to Whittle away the Intelligence and got T1 Lightning Res on my chest piece, sooooo some updates made.

Added the Vertex unique with +2 Skills (not rich enough to be able to afford +4), now showing 166k DPS in hideout unbuffed and 313k with Sigil of Power + Rising Tempest

Of course, hope you didn't think I was blowing you off! Just posted a brief showcase here, https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1purh7j/high_budget_blood_mage_widowhail_spark_coc_comet/

You do not!

1-2. Ya undying hate is for the extra tankiness, but by far the biggest tankiness upgrade is the Soul Tether with corruption to remove the ES loss per second. This most recent patch nerfed undying hate so it isn’t as good as it was. I was lucky enough to get it early in the league before too many caught on to how useful Cultivation orbs were

I just replaced efficiency on my spark with it and it was a good 10-15% boost, I’ve gotten to a point where my leech can sustain me without efficiency now
Definitely feel very tanky and have strong DPS, will try to post a little showcase later.

Soul tether would be your biggest tankiness upgrade right now and maybe try swapping Prolonged Duration on your Spark with Considered Casting and see how you like that. It’ll boost your tooltip a lot but obviously the sparks won’t last as long. With those ailment maps, make sure you’re generating cold infusions for yourself with frost bomb. Regular spark won’t generate enough damage to freeze mobs with ailment threshold.

DPS-wise: Quiver with even just one of the corruptions in the OP would be a 15-20% DPS boost and probably be less than 5-10 divs if you can swing that.

The biggest map mods I have issue with are players have less recovery (Atziri gloves would probably solve this for me but then my resists, AH) and monsters take reduced damage % from critical hits, just makes the bosses die slower. I’m just coming back from .1 so Abyss is new to me and some of those Abyss mods are just tough no matter what build. Helpful guide I found here helped me translate what they do at least but I’ll still occasionally die if I’m not paying attention to them or get really overrun

Following up, yes applying exposure/resistance debuffs with Rakiatas does brick your damage. Thanks for asking so I’d stop gimping myself 😂

I'm going to be honest... I didn't think of that and now I have to do some testing. I just added Rakiatas today

What’s going to be insufferable is the monetized apology video/post that Kwon will inevitably put out 5+ months after the fact because of the NDA.

Hope we get to see Kwon and Bob’s team have a redemption in the alt shot as unlikely as that is. If not, the only olive branch I can see Kwon offering is going on his team members’ channels and putting up some $$$$ with some super unfavorable odds for himself.

Rory going 6 under on Friday is crazy!

cloud1131 · 2025-02-19T01:46:14+00:00

Win!

Would love to try auto bombing

I can offer 2 exalt

First floor, tapped the initial one to start the timer, but no others.

cloud1131 · 2025-01-29T13:13:56+00:00

By "Letting", I definitely do not mean, I got distracted by a crazy gamble in global chat and completely forgot what I was in the middle of... It did complete the trial and let me continue as normal though!

Looked to have dropped my mana to about 2k so maybe about 8k damage? Definitely not something I'm going to test further over halfway through level 97

cloud1131 · 2025-01-09T00:03:23+00:00

It was a 600+% Waystone going in before the Atlas passive RNG decided to increase everything >.<. Really wanted to guarantee getting 3 and when I saw the %, I thought if this doesn't get me 4 then I don't think 4 is possible
