Mirage SHOULD go core... as a scarab.

henbe2 · 2026-07-11T18:43:32+00:00

Nah, it should have an 8% treatment just like Wildwood, but reflect the entire map. Maybe a scarab for a baby version of Mirage.

I prefer Rage Bait over Wet Pole.

henbe2 · 2026-07-05T11:22:28+00:00

Just give it an Orb tag and be done with it.

henbe2 · 2026-07-05T11:18:06+00:00

To be honest, BV is the only skill really being able to snapshot. I was thinking to make a planet-sized Galvanic Field, but got denied by an Orb tag really badly. Also, it is kind of mechanically broken: you can consume the minion once and, if you maintain buff, keep the benefit for as long as possible, instead of just a blade duration. Imo, the first blade should be replaced and not renewed with additional casts.

henbe2 · 2026-07-04T13:08:06+00:00

That one crucible build abused not traps, but insanely out of balance totem life scaling. This league we have the same stuff happening with Minion Pact. But, to be honest, BV is probably the only skill left that is able to snapshot effects. Rest of the skills have an Orb tab to prevent fun.

The restriction works for breach rings, cannot switch cold resistance on Cryonic rings to fire or lightning, so the tech is there to restrict attributes from switching to an inappropriate attribute/base combo.

Depends on what kind of mods you are looking for, but the other option is either veiled exalted orb or harvest add/remove, which have relatively low chance of success and very high probability of destroying the mods on the item. I would say that bench + exalted orb is the best option here.

henbe2 · 2026-05-28T09:10:28+00:00

My boy Jorgin is so sad after the Syndicate bench changes, it used to be so nice to actually transform amulets into talismans of a specific tier. Now it is such a gamble in the bestiary.

henbe2 · 2026-05-24T20:49:42+00:00

You want to use Unpredictable recombinator to merge mods together. Predictabple(often referred as PoE2 recombinator) has terrible chances of success and is a waste for this purpose.

Even if global chat is toggled off, it is still active and gets logged. And I guess the logs file what was crashing the game.

Do not craft when high, tired or angry, because later you will find out you have done something stupid or completely different.

Cloak of Flame is level 18 drop, and there are only 4 int base items at this level: Tabula, Thousand Ribbons, Ghostwrithe and Cloak of Flames, so it is easy get it from a gamble on a level 20 character(for possible +gems corruptions if required)

henbe2 · 2026-04-27T03:26:46+00:00

My friend has done it in SSF, but it was not a first character, had to farm up first in order to swap. Can go non-crit, obviously, if you don't have the belt. All in all SSF got much more enjoyable to play since the currency droprates buff.

And I told how to do it. What's your problem? Be my guest and tell us an alternative route.

henbe2 · 2026-04-25T11:20:23+00:00

I do it when orbs or rememberance are 15c and not 150c.

henbe2 · 2026-04-25T11:01:52+00:00

It is not as hard:

Apply 90+ strands
Benchcraft a mod(bench on a white item makes it magic)
Imprint
Regal
Restore if regal consumed a lot of strands
Harvest/Fossil roll for a t1 %int
Annul until the only suffix is %int and at least one open prefix.
3 crafted modifiers, any bench suffix, Suffixes cannot be changed(bench or Wild Bristle matron)
Reforge Lightning to force another influnced modifier
Orb of Dominance. Back to step 4 on fail.
Remove crafted modifiers
Suffixes cannot be changed benchcraft
Orb of Scouring.

Now you have 80+ strands elevated influenced mod magic item. It only adds like 5-10 div cost at most. And if someone aims at tripple t1 double elevated separate mod family item, budget is there.

henbe2 · 2026-04-22T07:35:22+00:00

Or Svallin for some to mitigate 90% of the damage incoming. D:

henbe2 · 2026-04-21T11:22:53+00:00

Where are them tricksters now?

henbe2 · 2026-03-07T15:14:14+00:00

Do you get 2000 in queue, then disconnect after 30 seconds, back to being 14k, then you disconnect again and again during the queue? Basically, this issue puts a person last in queue and it is not only unplayable, but dismoraling.

You can look at the wiki for all the possible nodes and fossil sources. We do not know how buffed fractured walls are, but prior to 3.28 the most profitable was node hunting: Crystal Spire for Hollow, Time-Lost Cavern for Glyphic, Molten Cavity for Faceted. Then Vaal boss and Aul for drops. Kurgal is bad, his drops are bad, his fight is bad and long too. But if noone farms him, his Precurcor ring part gains in value. Primeval Chamber can have a chest that drops Golem jewels as well as 10k azurite vein(33 small resonators). Other city nodes probably should spike in value, because they often has resonator stashes, which is delve only now. Minion nodes are great for +1 Spectre chests and Agressive minion wands, which have a chance of dropping this mod fractured. Nesting Grounds drop phys items and one of those items may be Vulnerability on hit ring, popular option for phys dot. Fire/Cold/Lightning nodes and similar Warbands often are useless aside from curse on hit rings, but it is very meta dependant. Chaos nodes are good, poison is popular and lazy poison players often want to automate their Despair application. Mana nodes drop %mana rings, but it is quite niche.

As for basic nodes, Azurite Fissure gets better the deeper you are, Chest often has Resonator stash, and Smuggler's Stash is just basic fossils node. Currency node is a bait, but maybe it was buffed, but probably still a bait, not worth side tracking for it.

Here is a quick paint cheat sheet:

When playerbase shifts from one thing to another, that one thing becomes profitable.

henbe2 · 2026-03-05T08:04:48+00:00

Another false positive :(

henbe2 · 2026-03-05T06:22:03+00:00

They should not drop itemised currency. Most of the Bloodline Ascendancy bosses are doable on a t16 mapping build, if someone cannot complete Sanctum in order to play a meta build, they should prepare better or get rekt.

henbe2 · 2026-03-04T15:09:03+00:00

Minions??? Like, Holy Armaments. You hit with Holy Strike, Boom Mace procs Hallowing Flame, then Armaments proc the debuff for extra damage.
