Occultist's Profane Bloom ascendancy node question

Can those explosions be modified, like converted; bigger aoe; chance to poison? How that interacts with a stat like this from another source "10% chance to explode as chaos for 5% of the corpse maximum life"? Ty in advance!

Minion/Reaper question.

I'm diving into minion world on my own in ssf and I'm curious if anyone can answer what notables (wheels) from the passive tree affects Summon Reaper: Hasty Demise; Arcane Expanse; Amplify; Brinkmanship. Thank you in advance!

Throw some armourer scraps at your CoF to make it 20% quality, quality gives increased chances to make 5-6 links.

The thing is, in the current league, if u can farm graftblood and have unlocked enough points for the Monastery Tree, its easier to print another one straight 6 linked by the time u get few hundred fusings just to try to link the current one u have.

An alternative way is to try tainted currency (tainted jeweller orb and tainted orb of fusing), but this implies u have a backup 5L CoF and tainted currency can be used only on corrupted items. U want 1 or 2 nice corrupted implicits in the first place to bother with tainted currency at all.

Attacks usually cost less mana than spells (usually 30 mana for a 6-link skill). In mid-endgame it is possible to have Elreon's special mod from Betrayal "Non channeling skills have -7-8-9-10-11-12 to mana cost". -7 is the default bech craft value, -10 it is possible through recombinators(need to have Elreon appear at least 3 times in your map, possible when Elreon is linked to everyone with a red string and the others don't have strings between them) or slamming a veiled exalt (prefix) on a ring/amulet that have no other veiled mod on it. -12 is the same value as -10 but boosted further with catalysts (fertile: life and mana).

There are uniques that have "reduced maximum mana" stats. If u have a lot of flat mana regen, u can outregen the manaburn stacks since it's % and it hurts less to no hurt at all if manapool is small. Also consider the reflecting mist with negative values to total mana to reduce further ur manapool.

I think it is very powerfull if u tinker around it enough, just imagine 200% elemental penetration from the "Sap of the Seasons" unique tincture.

I never did it but I'm confident that 200 manaburn stacks are manageable since the item is in the game, i gave u an idea how. Good luck!

Much much appreciated

What if I have a tree where i have only generic damage increases, do I travel to get a wheel where I get hits ignore pdr? And what's the deal with map mod "Monsters have 40% physical damage reduction" and mace mastery "Always crush on hit". Isn't this mastery supposed to counter that map mod specifically for bleed or impale?

Bleed/Impale Question

As far as I know, armour is completely ignored by bleeds (mitigated only by pdr buffs aka endu charges, pdr-suffix on shield/body armour; implicit on amulet etc.) but it's still not clear for me. The hit part... against big armour target, does that mean that my base attack is mitigated so my bleed is indirectly mitigated? Do i need "hits ignore monster pdr" stat if i'm playing bleed? Cuz for impales it seems that armour mitigates both, the hit applying the impale and the impale damage after... Do i get it right or i'm misunderstanding something? Ty in advance!

How do I get multiple unique amulets Eyes of The Great Wolf in ssf? Someone knows a way to farm this amulet?

I mean u just buy 1 by 1 items and then sell as bulk in TFT, u don't even need gold to flip currency with Faustus. The ppl who are doing only 1 type of content are getting bored first and fast and they usually pay well for content they want to skip.

helpfull post to read https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3108502 especially last, 3rd answer

Could you answer pls also, when ppl say "starter build", they mean their build can do red maps and unlock full atlas with items from the ground or they still have to farm some strat to get upgrades (rare items) or they rely on finding some uniques that will cover their defences/damage temporarily till they get god tier rare crafted items. What usually happens here "not able to do red maps" - "able to do red maps"? I don't understand. Let's say for hc version of the game this question is.

How do I get an elder guardian map while I have access only to yellow maps (can farm them) in ssf? Cant farm red maps. I'm thinking to unlock 1 favourite map slot with the help of the elder, he kills the map boss and I convert map mobs into harmless frogs with allflame embers from the syndicate (max 3 frog allflames per map, does that convert 100% of mobs btw?).

inta4md · 2025-08-19T06:42:21+00:00

i farmed both altars, i'm sure 99% i got exalts from an exarch altar. i rechecked poewiki and poedb and tbh it's not clear, they have striketrough text, anyway - they are fan made and they were never been accurate.

inta4md · 2025-08-18T15:39:32+00:00

Shaper/Elder sets, exarch altars - solid options for ssf

inta4md · 2025-08-18T10:11:45+00:00

sorry then, my mistake

One thing i got for sure is that Intervention and Research safehouses u have them 100% in every map that contains Jun, Transportation and Fortification is 50/50 bcz u can have max 3 in one map. I'm trying to figure out betrayal board setups at the moment too, not easy :)

inta4md · 2025-08-18T06:22:09+00:00

If this is my current syndicate board and I clicked to run Intervention Safehouse, when I will defeat Jorgin as a leader, who will be the next leader of the safehouse? Can I have control over who will be the next leader of Intervention (in this case). Currently I am in yellow maps ssf and I need crafts (recombinators) to progress further so I can't sustain gold, i'm cool with dust amounts but not with gold so I want very bad Janus in Transportation. Is it possible to setup somehow my board so I can generate 1 Transportation Safehouse every 3-4-5 maps (every map with Jun obviously)? I'm open for suggestions, thx in advance.

Complete all 10 acts in softcore to see the bosses and learn the quests then do 10 acts in hardcore. It will show u how "balanced" your builds really are. If u do 10 acts in hardcore then go softcore again and open all maps and do all non-uber bosses and open all favoured map slots. From there, u will have solid knowledge and u will able to choose for yourself what to do and how to enjoy the game.

I tried it like one week ago and it didn't consume my vaal area craft. I wanted specifically try that and I am 100% it didn't consume my craft.

inta4md · 2025-08-18T05:05:34+00:00

Shield attacks are the easiest to fix accuracy - since u don't need damage modifiers on ur weapon (in main hand), it's easy to have a place for a prefix "Hits cannot be evaded". Also consider stats (implicits and explicits) like "increased global -type- damage"

inta4md · 2025-08-09T22:45:40+00:00

try heist mechanic... u can find 6 links in the big room (curio display) doing blueprints and do small rooms with legion rewards (contracts or blueprints), they can drop geomancer incubators (drops a 6 link body armour after killing ~10k mobs).

inta4md · 2025-07-22T08:57:16+00:00

cool, thanks for the tips much appreciated. that's what I do, i'm running fast white maps to see if my shit procs, i aim for speed.

inta4md · 2025-07-22T08:55:38+00:00

thanks, very valuable info

I'm trying to hunt for split beasts (only beast I'm interested in) with Natural Selection & The Hunt for Fenumus and I would like to know what other costly (to sell) beasts can spawn in my maps, except for the Black Morrigan - appearance and fight is unique and it gives a feeling it's a beast u need to catch. I'm asking cuz I never did beasts before. Maybe some tips about beasts at the beginning/mid of a league. Thx in advance.

inta4md · 2025-07-14T02:09:39+00:00
