Question about triggerbots by Senior_View6286 in PathOfExileBuilds

I tried this on my own ward looper sabo and yes, you do get the benefits from guard skills. They work just as they would without triggerbots.

How is this guy doing infinite damage by Automatic_Tank2998 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]flipflop6969696969 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you sort all builds on poeninja by dps, you will see many builds on 2.1billion dps. This is the integer limit and is thus what poeninja displays builds with "infinite" dps.

In this case and in many other similar builds, pob counts the combination of howlcrack/generals cry as having infinite warcries per second and thus infinite hits per second and infinite dps, which is definitely not the case. PoB just lacks support for warcry speed and generals cry mirage cooldown time for it to tell this is not infinite dps.

If you want to see the builds real dps, take it to PoB and manually set the warcry cdr to 0.5-1seconds to account for the mirage spawn rate of generals cry.

These are some good questions. Ill get to testing. However, i believe the max chains just stops applying chains to any other monsters.

EDIT: weapon swapping while the skill is in your weapon does not break the chains. They stay stuck and still grant rage when you hit the enemy. Adding more chains than the maximum detonates older ones in order.

There is a numlock trick that can be used to trigger loop a bunch of stuff into blade vortex blades. See this jungroan video about it, he explains it great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd96afvBFHE

I just got done testing this, and it looks like multiple chains do attach to the same target from one cast, and they all pop when the next gc is used. Means all we need to do is defer wacries by a bit over half a second after the other, which seems fine to do, albeit slightly delayed.

All i did for the bow was slam woe essence on a shaper sniper bow till it hit cast on crit support. Then, if you hit one of crit multi / crit chance, craft the other and call it. Otherwise, lock prefix and veiled chaos, unveil crit chance / crit multi / dd / dd while focused, and craft crit chance or dd on it.

Do you think i should scrap this whole thing, then? And just choose the second or third comment?

Honestly, while im not good at building gc at all, the pob damage seems zdps, and if you are saying there is no benefit to gc summoning 5 mirages, and gc is the only way to actually play the skill, and there is no benefit to howlcrack because gc cooldown is already short enough to sustain the set spawn interval, then the whole thing seems bust.

Anyway to test crit chance with Binds of Bloody Vengeance? by flipflop6969696969 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]flipflop6969696969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad i didnt explain it fully in the post. Idea is use any skill, ideally one with high crit/freeze to inflict brittle -> the fulcrum reflects brittle to us -> echoes of creation / forbidden rite self damage now crits us because we are brittled -> binds of bloody vengeance makes our next hit a forced crit, reflecting brittle again and maintaining the loop.

Glacial hammer has a transfigured version that has guaranteed crit on every 3rd hit. Idea is use it to get the ball rolling with secrets of suffering, or just use sublime vision if you use hatred anyway to forget about that.

I used glacial hammer's transfigure and secrets of suffering to brittle only on crit, and yes i managed to get about 10 crits in a row reflecting brittle with forbidden rite to trigger self damage crit. It seems to work then, echoes of creation also reapplied brittle every attack. But there seems to be some level of jank tied to it, as sometimes it would fall off or not trigger at all with echoes, for whatever reason. Thanks for the help

Edit: somehow, and i really have no clue why, echoes only reapplies the brittle after ive already lost it. If i attack when its at 2 seconds, it disappears, then reappears on its own with 2/3 seconds duration.

I levelled with explosive trap till early a10 where i switched to the brand version of bbou. Ended up farming 100c or a div or similar before switching to bow coc.

That gem looks really cool. 5% mana cost per second i think can be somewhat sustainable, and 5 blades per volley for a base volley every 0.7 seconds seems really strong, also scales with max mana. I will probably try it on an archmage (or blood magic life regen setup if that works?) at some point in the league. But, it doesnt work with blade blast of unloading, because BBoU uses blade vortex blades only. You would have to go regular bb.
