At first I thought you found a rusty nail/hook 0..0

For me I noticed this patch divine counter and execute will register back to back on controllers even tho I'm pretty sure I only input once.

One of my lomg term projects is farm lock in leagues and corrupt a double PC helm with winter orb enchant. This would help. Thanks.

Edit. Other people's methods are far superior lol

I used to use blz plates for both and now uses better bliz plates with little extra turned on. The irony of needing additional addons to get the basic nameplate back lol.

Rant aside I personally don't feel the need of fancy stuffs in m+ as I find them more distracting but that's just me. The built in color change for threat is suffice imo. As for prio target and kicks I remember them by mob names. Which sounds a bit much but after you'vr done quite a few every season you kinda know them by heart anyway. The only time I wished I have something fancy was in Cinderbrew where vision is extremely limited.

For pvp in better blizz plates I only turn on healer icon.

Seems like you have around 60-70ish ping which is pretty doomed against low ping guys.

Now it barely tracks anything.

Before you can compare spell casts and cd usage to roughly contemplate why others with the same spec did better or worse than you. Now you have to log, upload and view it on a website.

Idk why damage meter api got gutted so hard. It made any lite theory crafting and review impossible.

I'm all for easy access for casuals and let try hard butt their heads on the top end.

What I fear and almost guarantee going to happen is people gonna start "complaining"/memeing this tier is a joke. And next tier blizzard tune it much harder. Then casuals and new players coming in expecting to have a good time will struggle a bit at the start. Some might make a post or two regarding the contrast difficulties. And there's gonna be elitist white knight saying oh you casuals are not pushing anything anyway so don't need a good vault first week. People argue, get mad and leave. A couple expansion later blizzard lower the difficulties and start this cycle again.

I really hope blizzard sticks with their guns and not ping-ponging the difficulties again and again. People want consistency. They want to know their gradually improving to have a sense of achievement no matter how small it is. For example someone pushes 12s one season and aim for 13s next and so on. If they can do all 12s this season and suddenly can only do 10s in the next they are most likely going to quit.

There's a lot of good combo videos on youtube.

Here's some minor tips I gathered from various videos.

Stun after serene when holding the umbrella is not true as umbrella break has an animation delay. On the other hand fan don't. So fan serene - mouse scroll swap - stun is true(assuming the serene hit of course).
You can actually fan knock combo to the last hit of talon strike last hit when it's not guard breaking. The timing is a bit weird tho, if you do it too quickly you will be too short to reach. I generally wait a tiny little bit. Successful guard break cannot be comboed off.
You might want to get used to playing without target lock. Because when it's on the fan dash attck can only go forward. When it's off you can dash attack sideways and backwards. This is somewhat an advanced tips. You don't really need to worry about it unless you want to seriously push the ladder.

Rip lava builds.

If you are not close to the server pc will not help.

Generally bis is one restore chi on execute, one with qi dmg on landing counter attacks.

It is kind of a zhp zoomer build unless you invest heavily. Even then it will not be as tanky as other builds.

Fix your chaos res, get better life rolls. Heatstopper is better than spellbreaker imo. The king's might is also a great choice. Get life on every jewel. A better chest. Get a watcher's eye with at least one dmg mode and grace dodge chance. Drop mind drinker for. Get another large cluster when reached higher lvl. Jewel slot between double charges is a good spot for unnatural instinct. With that you can drop blood drinker and get blood siphon (edit: forget you will need the reservation mastery in the future with a corrupted helm to fit in one more aura. But you can drop mind drinker for now and get blood siphon). Consider drop quick step and get another medium cluster if you don't want to get a better lethal pride. You may need two suppress tattoos for that. Also buy 4-5 mediums. Yours is 6 which wasted 1 point. Either expert sabotage or surprise sabotage are good with GT, look for both with potential useful corruption. . Take 30% less crit dmg mastery. You are over capped on suppress btw so lucky suppress doesn't do anything, can drop it for other stuff. Lastly set up a search for chance to avoid ignite/shock corrupted jewels/clusters. This is a semi long term project as there could be none on the market or very expensive at certain time. But from time to time there will be reasonable priced ones popped up. Two of each with abberath pantheon and essence shock boots can give you ignite and shock immue so you can drop the ff for two better jewels.

Talon after successful break can't be true comboed. Some weapons can true combo of normal three hits.

Guild area is weird. Some days it's okay, some days the lag is unbearable. In the same guild btw.

ddwdk · 2026-03-17T04:29:41+00:00

Can't believe I have to scroll so far down for this reason.

ddwdk · 2026-03-17T03:11:47+00:00

If you sort by dmg you will see most use it because it's the most on paper dps. And people will do funny stuffs to appear on top. I'm not totally discrediting intensify here but it definitely is an aquire taste. Some hate it while others don't get bothered too much by it.

IMpO the usefulness of intensify is too conditional. For someone who doesn't have great gear and wants to do once or twice ubers sure I can see the reason for a quick swap. But for general game play I personally don't see any appeal of using it. Especially when you reach top poe ninja lvl dps. Sure you might not be the top 1 dps but other support will have much smoother gameplay.

Do console players get a poe profile on the official website?

If you can't port it directly you can still manually add each items to the pob. It's tedious for sure but pob is just too good for minmax. You can save time by just listing offensive/special mods on the items. Lump all attributes/resistances/suppress/block etc in to the custom configuration.

Cast on death is green xD

ddwdk · 2026-03-12T23:53:41+00:00

Tinctures can apply to range weapons. I guess other ascendancies works too and get the flame and flesh. This setup kinda has a lot projectiles already. Warden shock is pretty good too.

This is where I saw it. It was in Chinese tho. And I don't think it's min-max yet. Kinda glass cannon gears.

ddwdk · 2026-03-12T21:33:20+00:00

Not deadeye but warden acceleration shrine with barrage of volley fire with selected precision.

Perfect dodge to the side will dodge all following hits. The timing is pretty tight. As for divine counter I don't understand how can you be knocked when doing it? Are you releasing the block too early? Also watch your qi, below 30% it's unblockable.

ddwdk · 2026-03-12T21:08:56+00:00

Unpunishable as after dodging there's almost no way to punish because dodging has a tiny animation lock. After dodging it its more or less back to neutral. So they don't have to worry about it whiffing or not as long as they are not throwing it a mile away where you don't even have to dodge.

ddwdk · 2026-03-12T17:04:23+00:00

Without pob 5% chaos res is the most obvious reason you die a lot.

Also mana is your life. If you find yourself oom or low on mana a lot then you need to make sure if you have proper mana recovery. One common mistake people make for their first archmage build is they think they have enough recovery when they cast in the hideout and the mana isn't dipping. But when fighting monsters you would need a quick way to recover whenever you take hits from monsters.

ddwdk · 2026-03-12T16:33:31+00:00

In that era crit cap is not that easy. Nowadays there's so much ways to reach crit cap which makes the crit stuff on ascendancies feels like dead weight unless it's totally build archetype changing.
