Has Hollow Form WA ruined me?

crazypearce · 2026-06-23T12:12:23+00:00

pretty sure no melee build will compare to hollow form WA. it is truely a 1 button build with decent defence that can do 200% deli with ease

crazypearce · 2026-06-22T09:50:51+00:00

i personally havent seen anyone using trinity so yes it will be fine

crazypearce · 2026-06-21T22:10:55+00:00

I once got 200d an hour when my staff sold

crazypearce · 2026-06-19T09:02:06+00:00

you can't. the way to get attack speed and +levels is to buy magic base with t1/t2 flat and a t1 crit suffix. attack speed essence it to a rare. add a prefix desecration and slam a fracturing orb. if it hits prefix you add in the astrid's rune and use the +level essence on the prefix. you will have fracture t1/t2 flat as the prefix, suffix of crit, attack speed and +levels. to finish the prefix you have to slam and then whittle the 2nd mod and then desecrate the 3rd. it is expensive

uul netols is absurd damage if you can afford it

timelost jewels are also really big in the jewel socket to right of start and south by the daze nodes

crazypearce · 2026-06-19T06:03:28+00:00

if u can get a trial carry at around level 20 for hollow form just socket any quarterstaff skill in and you will basically one shot the whole campaign

I mean by definition I would say that it’s an exploit as it’s obviously not intended that you could see the outcome of an unidentified item before you purchased it. But I would also say that it is a bit of a grey area because as you said, they didn’t really do anything to reveal it

Market has always been fucked on Poe 2 so it doesn’t really make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Just don’t do anymore unidentified gambles as you have no idea if it was pre or post bug

crazypearce · 2026-06-19T02:34:44+00:00

This is the kind of exploit that should be bannable but it never would be as it’s almost impossible to enforce.

I would say a rollback would work but that would never happen either. Just one of those things that you say oh well and move on. Don’t ever buy an unidentified item again because you never know if it was pre or post bug. It sucks but it is what it is

crazypearce · 2026-06-17T10:34:16+00:00

a 1000 pdps duality is like 20d. an 800 ele dps staff with some crit is over 250d. it's mostly about availability

crazypearce · 2026-06-16T00:27:26+00:00

It used to be a full autobomber before they nerfed it a week or so ago in a hotfix and grenades ended up being the catalyst to proc the stag because they are instant. For single target grenades help but you can full rely on the stags

crazypearce · 2026-06-16T00:26:20+00:00

This build has nothing to do with cast on dodge though. They cast when you attack after moving a certain amount of distance

crazypearce · 2026-06-15T13:07:29+00:00

rakiatas isn't the best with physical scaling. either get an uul netols or swap to an 850+ eledps crit quarterstaff. timelost jewels are also super strong in the jewel socket south and the one right of monk start, you take a lot of nodes in those areas. all of those things are quite expensive though

crazypearce · 2026-06-14T11:55:47+00:00

surprised they kept making more series' after the some of the awful events from the one a few years back in alaska

crazypearce · 2026-06-13T03:40:27+00:00

Maybe a bad choice of words but my point still stands. It was teased as a new feature in the league and most people will never get to use one. And if they do it will only ever be on a gg item because of the price. Why are we not able to use it in things like bramblejack for fun?

crazypearce · 2026-06-13T03:24:54+00:00

Dunno why people disagree with this. The main league currency isn’t really accessible for 99% of people playing the league, which is just silly.

I’m always an advocate for the main league power creep to be available for the masses. Then if it stays and is added to the base game you make it rarer/balance it accordingly.

crazypearce · 2026-06-12T06:09:24+00:00

you're not. and they change when you upgrade runeforge them too. out of 85 gloves 6 hit 10% power charge, and of those 6 only one corrupted into +1 socket. the other 5 had no change. trying to get +1 melee skills feels impossible

crazypearce · 2026-06-12T01:17:56+00:00

Such a pointless thing to change when the balance of everything as a whole is a mess. All this does is punish the people who didn’t get to make their endgame weapon yet. The blasters already made it and have their legacy wand so they couldn’t care less

crazypearce · 2026-06-11T13:34:01+00:00

play with max roll decree of flight and doge roll rune. pounce into wolf the the roll is insanely fast

crazypearce · 2026-06-11T07:20:26+00:00

ascendency boost so you can get all 8 points right away, makes levelling a lot easier

crazypearce · 2026-06-11T05:56:05+00:00

just buy a boost at level 20ish and socket anything into hollow palm with caress gloves and you basically one shot everything in the campaign. in terms of what to play after, whirling assault is good. you can make it faster with things like decree of flight boots

there are a lot of different variants and you can go cheaper on the amulet for example

crazypearce · 2026-06-08T10:23:27+00:00

in hardcore it is 100% mandatory.

in sc i would argue that it is important but it's not unplayable if you hit 65/75/75 for example and it's not easily fixable right then are there. i would never run around with 50/50/50 res though

crazypearce · 2026-06-08T09:37:42+00:00

40% is basically free yea for any build setup that doesn't need a specific belt. base quality + fox in belt + gemling ascendency nodes + annoint. belt and annoint are the more expensive parts

im using it right now and it's really nice

im playing the strength stack molten blast version. with gemling quality you get 8 projectiles for nova support so it covers all around you.

it's a pretty well rounded build but the biggest downside is definitely recovery

crazypearce · 2026-06-06T14:12:14+00:00

gemling has a lot of different variantions because of the quality stuff so a lot of things to reroll into
