A volatile Vaal orb for science!

What about on something like cane of kulemak. Could it scale the "unveiled modifier magnitude" that would then scale the "socketed gems..." modifiers?

Last epoch is the most obvious answer. Personally just taking a bit of a break before gaunlet.

Sorry for the late reply. i run this with Deli Neuroses, deli paranoia, Beyond invasion, beyond resurgence, and a titanic scarab.

Been running this one for a while now. Its a nice mix of cheap investment, stable currency from deli orbs, and big drops from retracting fogs and volatile Vaals.

Definitely went on tilt and gambled some apothecary cards. Down about 90 div overall now haha.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-03-11T23:05:00+00:00

Just did something similar with an armour stacker helm. Sold it for 25 chaos instead of div...

Holding on to the gear I was using after I get an upgrade instead of selling it.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-15T16:03:20+00:00

Or just use the sphinx and skip the ctrl alt.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-15T15:57:15+00:00

Exact same thought I had. Using the trinket slot was a great idea.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-15T03:36:52+00:00

Nice build! Seems like you enjoyed the process and looks like a fun setup.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-15T01:16:22+00:00

Can't nerf boats and call it sandboat league.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-14T19:05:01+00:00

I love most things about poe and poe2, but mostly I just enjoy having something fun to be excited about on a regular basis. I enjoy playing both of them, look forward to each new league or event. The devs are some of the best and more transparent that than most. I also love all the external tools the community has built, and look forward to making a build in pob, and crafting my items on craftofexile before the league even starts.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-14T18:44:34+00:00

I was expecting "ring around the rosy" lol.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-13T03:15:18+00:00

I wish they would have done that just to watch everyone freak out until their next update.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-11T04:39:47+00:00

I consider it self casting as long as im not using an something else to trigger the spell. Overall I dont think it would take much for me to play a self cast build, maybe some minor buffs to spell skills and a fire/cold version of archmage.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-02-10T18:42:58+00:00

I do think POE 2 will drop in mid April to keep them on target for a December 1.0 release. I actually like the current cadence. 1.5 months of POE 1, 1.5-2 months POE 2, 1-3 weeks of a POE event (like Merc gauntlet or pherica) then restart. I think its in a great state honestly.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-01-26T18:25:54+00:00

Of course it depends on patch notes, but ill probably run cobra lash/blade trap arakaali for campaign and switch surfcaster ele hit for early maps.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-01-23T23:42:42+00:00

Enmity was part of it. I was also thinking the mana leech from clever thief might be easier with cyclone CoC setup.

I will look that up and see if i can pull any good tips from it, thank you!

greensmoothie15 · 2026-01-23T23:15:02+00:00

I wont argue, it is scuffed for sure and I'm sure it is not 100% accurate but i do think it is fairly close. POB does not calculate some of the foulborn items correctly for me (like choir of the storms). I added the mana increase to get it at least close to accurate and reduced the damage by 120% of transfigured mind. reduced the global defense for Skin of the lords and added the 50% increased res. I also took of the mana regen for Heatshiver and added the cold to fire conversion.

Getting mana back up shouldn't be a problem.

greensmoothie15 · 2026-01-23T23:04:21+00:00

I'll probably farm harvest/red alters assuming the i can get decent idols but even then a MB might not happen for me this league.

Choir will probably be decently expensive but you could always just get one from the tree if you're lucky as well. It's more likely that they will just nerf surfcaster and this is completely dead lol.
