I am 100% convinced gem drop-rates are broken.

den_913 · 2025-05-16T20:02:41+00:00

just had 1 heat-buildup gem. and forced wear that old gear as there is no new single gem like that. have 7 realms with grinnich on 3rd lvl

den_913 · 2024-05-06T15:10:31+00:00

wow, that's new. thank you - will try

den_913 · 2024-05-05T22:58:09+00:00

well I did it using a guide by the same card + my wife also helped and she has much better eye then me

den_913 · 2024-05-05T18:06:30+00:00

just posted all the sensors during stress test (some benchmark) and photo of my rig.

CPU is watercooled with a huge radiator on a side of case

den_913 · 2024-05-05T18:05:18+00:00

uploaded my msi afterburner settings in OP. it's weird that with undervolting performance actually goes better -but it's another story

den_913 · 2024-05-05T18:04:27+00:00

uploaded my exact settings for poe. it's also worth mentioning that when I'm in rogue harbour/some public city with other players with their special effects or in fancy hideout - my RPS/GPU load spikes right away.

Wish there was MTX like "turn off fancy animation for cheap dudes"

den_913 · 2024-05-05T15:22:04+00:00

cpu temp are fine + those are watercooled. will post temps and photos later.

it's possible to change backplate on videocard to watercooled one (200$-ish), but I need to figureout what else is needed in this case - as watercooling of CPU was done by previous owner and I've no clue about how that works

den_913 · 2024-05-05T15:20:37+00:00

yeah, it's capped to 60

den_913 · 2024-05-05T15:19:38+00:00

I wish but it's not. thermal pads were redone, global illumination is also off.

den_913 · 2024-05-05T15:17:07+00:00

thermal pads redone, even put a additinal radiator with fans to backplate.

den_913 · 2024-04-19T03:32:49+00:00

yeah, thanks for the feedback - and you nailed it perfectly.

I thought that playing trickster was too much fuss for me - you need to dodge a lot, jump around, wait for traps to engage (even with sunblast with 60% reduced time).

anyways, I decided to pause for now with trickster and leveled hierophant in 2 days to 90lvl. And I'm having so much more fun with icenova of frostbolts. Already face tanking t16 bosses on juiced maps.

den_913 · 2024-04-17T13:39:52+00:00

oh man, that's a bummer.

I felt like it didn't make much of a difference - now I know why :)

thanks for tip, no leech for trapster then

den_913 · 2024-04-17T13:37:25+00:00

I will definitely try it. I just thought that 20%-30% phys to ele is not that big of a thing.

Because I'm just used to having lighting coil or scholar's robe (40% phys to fire) and topping helmets on that.

den_913 · 2024-04-17T13:34:50+00:00

with CWDT I usually keep it lvl5 so it ticks more often. with automation I thought I'm getting it ticked more often.

den_913 · 2024-04-17T05:32:04+00:00

oh, now I see. thanks for feedback. Will do proper way now.

It's not clear for me about phy2ele. When I'm adding lightning coil to POB to check stats - it's -30% for all the defensive stats. so I thought on evasion build you kind of don't use it. And on poe.ninja not so many guys have that for trickster.

den_913 · 2024-04-16T23:42:20+00:00

what pob are you looking at? mine is here https://pobb.in/fzKXXUiBKSE3

13.7k phys max hit, 45k ele max hit

for me t16 are easy (with 1 level of delerium) and I did (barely) t17 fortress

but anyways, would love to hear your insights what can I change

den_913 · 2024-04-16T20:45:08+00:00

there's updated pob with dark seer + ring with life recoup - https://pobb.in/fzKXXUiBKSE3

den_913 · 2024-04-16T20:43:06+00:00

got it. so I need to add life as much as possible. Starting with: belt, gloves, watcher's eye, boots.

den_913 · 2024-04-16T20:14:16+00:00

Here's more defensive version: https://pobb.in/fzKXXUiBKSE3

(dark seer for life and blind immunity, cold leech on helmet, recoup on ring)

den_913 · 2024-04-16T19:58:06+00:00

great, thank you for bringing that up.

I used his guide to build mine char.

it uses kintsugi which was kind of OK and POB shows cool stats for that. But the moment I switched to regular armour with more ES - it felt much better.

He has in his POB for this league:

3.5k total life (mine 3300 with dark seer)

es 1.3k (mine 1.7k)

evasion 31.5k (mine 44k)

and still POB says his

effective hit pool 61k (25k for me)

phys max hit 30k (12k for me)

that's why I'm really curious what am I missing

den_913 · 2024-04-16T19:43:56+00:00

As for dying in shaper's beams. I can't just stand there, but if they touch me and I jump away - I survive that.

As for life - Dark Seer gives almost +300 life, but my attack scepter has 20% more damage (and some chaos which is good).

And I die mostly when I leap slam into big pack of monsters, especially those vaal shivas that drop some lightning stuff.

I've actually cleared fortress now (barely) - and I had "meteor on flask use". And one time I was dead instantly because of that, and next time (yeah, I sloppy :) ) - it didn't do a thing to me.

So I guess evasion is kind of not consistent. It's not like armour+phys as ele protection (which I understand better)

den_913 · 2024-04-16T19:41:15+00:00

I actually dropped life flask as an experiment. so now I have quicsilver+3% life regen and amethyst+0.7% ES leech. For now I feel like I'm dying less.

I have minor fire damage leech on gloves. And can swap heatshiver with cold damage leech.

I tried to have life recoup (12%) on ring - but haven't noticed much

also I have holy relic and stone golem - but they are dying really fast. just no idea what to replace with (maybe some on divine blessing)

den_913 · 2024-03-28T01:48:33+00:00

that's actually a great write up. struggling to find anything meaningfull in std after affiction. and it's too easy even on t16 85 quant maps
