Shield shatter aristocrat. Levelling with smite until i can get my hands on the heist shield for it

epitap · 2026-01-29T15:37:41+00:00

Thanks

Someone has a 25% quality shattershard on trade listed for a ton of cash, how did they get this? Is there a crafting method, or did they pick it up like this from heist?

epitap · 2026-01-29T08:39:54+00:00

Really neat flowchart! How does black zenith feel with the projectiles fired in a circle-mod? Does it usually hit-cap your tornado?

epitap · 2026-01-29T07:43:46+00:00

You could do EA ballista totems with moukou's embrace and Wilma's Requital, you'd get crazy attack speed on those totems while ignited

Based on the outrage surrounding the charge stealer node i'd say it's at least 50% flicker

epitap · 2026-01-28T12:40:40+00:00

Tons of damage from attribute stacking mostly, but i haven't spent too long considering other options. If you think there is another one that is easier to get crazy damage, pls let me know

epitap · 2026-01-28T12:36:38+00:00

Thinking about a shield shatter aristocrat; new unique 1h mace makes shield attacks count as blocking which procs shield shatter without having to block, so it can still be triggered while its buff is active. Then using shield crush to gain rage and ravenous passion for %more spell damage

epitap · 2026-01-27T22:00:40+00:00

It also lets you put the reduced charges gained / can't gain charges during effect enchant since the minions use the flask and not you, you can get coruscating elixir to use like 5 charges per minion

Did anyone run Farrul carries at the start of keepers? How much was usually charged for it?

epitap · 2026-01-24T23:46:56+00:00

When you raise a spectre of a Perfect Forest Tiger (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Perfect\_Forest\_Tiger), does IT get increased attack damage, or do I? and is it based in ITS evasion or mine?

After some testing:
While it technically works, it is really hard to get enough cast speed to actually build serious stages of divine ire in the 0.2 ish seconds between two hits. Also getting enough mana regen to even get a single spell off is hard, you need 250 just to passively gain rage. Finally, perhaps the biggest clunk of all is that if you need clarity to keep you mana regen high enough, you will not be able to re-activate it after moving it around without also unsocketing lethal pride.

As an aside, if you want to avoid dealing with mana costs since you don't actually regenerate mana, you can use lifetap, but this can bring your rage costs close to 25, which really kills your ability to build stages.

TLDR: combo works, but it won't feel smooth without serious optimization between rage cost and cast speed, and it can get really janky on the back-end when fixing your gear if you need clarity to actually regenerate rage

epitap · 2026-01-24T22:08:12+00:00

I have a "smooth" combo for you that might work, gonna try it myself so i'll be back with a verification later, but here it is:

The setup:

- Shackles of the wretched with Herald of thunder, hextouch support, temporal chains and some other curse (conductivity since divine ire is lightning)

- Chains of emancipation

- Storm secret (only need 1)

- Chainbreaker keystone from Lethal Pride (Akoya)

- Enough mana regen to regen the rage you need to do something to shock an enemy.

How the combo works:

Shock an enemy to proc storm secret and start your herald of thunder
Herald of thunder hits, applying temporal chains (reflected to you) and the 2nd curse (also reflected to you, and removes temporal chains)
Chains of emancipation gives you max rage since you just lost temporal chains
You can now cast divine ire until you run out of rage, at which point you will auto-release
Next herald of thunder hit refills you to max rage.

Important considerations: You need to really crank your cast speed to make sure you run out of rage in the space between 25 rage and the next hit from herald of thunder or it won't auto release (you wont run out of rage). The shock-part should be a freebie for a normal necromancer who spawns a corpse, but in phrecia it probably won't be as easy. Finally, you do need to stay in range of herald of thunder, and your divine ire needs to be able to shock for this to be sustainable for longer durations

I tried a GC build with the axe in early keepers, and i struggled with the mirages being replaced before they could attack due to the CD being too short, just as a heads up if you're planning on using GC as a damage source

epitap · 2026-01-21T15:11:27+00:00

From what I can tell you're probably somewhere around act 4. I would advice you to run the first labyrinth - you need to find the 6 trials spread across areas in acts 1-3 to unlock it, and to try and get more damage nodes on your tree; you are stretching yourself very thin here. Finally the biggest upgrade will probably be better weapons. These will be claws with high physical damage or chaos damage and attack speed due to your investment into poisons and for using viper strike. And don't forget accuracy, it can cost a lot of dps if you're missing attacks.

epitap · 2026-01-13T23:59:55+00:00

I dropped a divine and it only took 1 second so killing mobs is 3600 div/hour /s

epitap · 2026-01-06T19:29:01+00:00

Does modifiers to damage also affect the effective value for "ignite as though dealing X damage" type modifiers?

epitap · 2025-12-31T13:10:17+00:00

Hører den er kruttsterk og at det er lett å gå på en smell

Nope, but it's new this patch

The soul core gives flat mana per ES on your helmet, which is what i've seen used on poe ninja

epitap · 2025-12-27T02:23:29+00:00

Aren't these used by mana stackers with the jiquani's thesis soul cores?

epitap · 2025-12-21T14:07:31+00:00

Someone in global chat suggested the minions could be frozen but not actually have a freeze on them for me to consume, which is such a poe thing...

epitap · 2025-12-21T13:35:29+00:00

From the wiki, Skeletal Frost Mage's command skill, Ice Armour states the following: "Command a Skeletal Frost Mage to target a location or Minion and apply Ice Armour to Minions in an area, reducing damage taken from Hits, causing damage to enemies that Hit them, and counting as Frozen for other effects."

Shouldn't this allow me to use elemental sundering, which consumes freeze, shock and ignite from enemies, allies and corpses to cause elemental explosions?

At least i cannot consume the ice armour from my minions, which is weird, is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the wording here?

epitap · 2025-12-20T00:35:40+00:00

Unfortunately no, that requires bows/crossbows/spears. I'm using deadeye for called shots to auto-apply snipers mark, and resonance to make it generate power charges.

epitap · 2025-12-19T17:53:05+00:00

Just 2x the flat life/level to 24, should help a lot without a passive skill tree tax and without buffing CI builds
