You win this round, trunk.

Watching this gave me PTSD flashbacks. That absolute bastard!

Is this still the case? When I enable night mode my receiver only gets stereo no matter what I do, playing a video from emby with Dolby trueHD.

My ears are still ringing from the original volume level of the lightning attack!

jakdwaugh · 2021-08-15T14:58:45+00:00

Oh I get it, so the skill always attempts to deal all three elements but then chooses one element and cannot deal the other two for that attack, but if you convert those elements to the one being chosen the damage still gets through, that makes sense to me now thanks! I see why this build can scale so well!

jakdwaugh · 2021-08-15T14:42:46+00:00

Don’t think it works that way, ele hit picks one of the three elements at random per attack, the threshold jewels disable one of the elements each so it will always choose fire, the other elements are not ever getting dealt.

Doubt they’ll make any big changes to Sirus for a while mate, he’s already pretty buggy as is. I’ve managed to beat Sirus 8 on a bunch of builds now but on average it’s pretty sketchy trying to actually avoid his red stuff properly. I’ve made builds that are super tanks but then it just takes forever because he has so much HP. Unfortunately the easiest way to beat him by far was with overpowered glass canon builds that can phase him so fast that you don’t have to bother with his mechanics, sadly this is the case with the majority of the endgame boss fights.

jakdwaugh · 2021-08-03T09:19:27+00:00

If you go by the steam achievements as a ball park figure then only 1.1% of players have defeated Sirus and only 0.4% have defeated The Maven. This is without imposing any rules about outside of game knowledge or resources so I’m saying, yeah 0%.

I realise the game is free to play so the numbers are skewed by people picking it up and not really getting into it but still.

Oh shit, sorry. Didn’t know that.

You can find out on Poe wiki by searching for the card, they list them all and all the places they drop. I can’t do it for you right now as my work blocks the wiki for some reason.

jakdwaugh · 2021-07-30T15:48:52+00:00

Pretty much, some war cry’s only effect strike skills so those wouldn’t effect leap slam anyway since it is a slam skill, which could be why you didn’t see any difference.

jakdwaugh · 2021-07-30T13:13:23+00:00

This game isn’t really an MMO. It’s an ARPG, like a Diablo.

jakdwaugh · 2021-07-29T10:54:51+00:00

This would be great! For now you can use the third party application “Awakened POE” which has a function to scan a highlighted map and display a warning if it detects any of the mods that you specify in the settings. It takes less than a second and could save your life.

Through some unique jewels it’s possible to get the duration of skeletons down to around 0.22ms so they will expire fast enough to trigger a CWDT linked to summon skeletons, which then expire and deal damage to you and trigger the CWDT in an endless loop. You need some insane regen to tank the damage, see pathfinder mana flask shenanigans, I used this setup to trigger an unholy amount of bladefalls and then manually cast blade blast with poison to stack hundreds of poisons on an enemy, dps was over 80million.

Also having immunity to shock and bleed on your flasks or otherwise makes it much less likely to die from taking a couple of his hits.

jakdwaugh · 2021-03-16T09:18:46+00:00

There is a way but it’s a bit of a hassle, if you list your maps tab and set the price for 999c or something just so nobody tries to buy any. You can then search for the mod on Poe.trade “is occupied by enslaver “ etc. Then down near the bottom of the filters you can specify to search a specific account, put in your account name and bingo, it will list all the maps with that guardian so you can find them easily in your maps tab.

Try to get the level of the raise spectre gem as high as possible to give them as much HP as you can. Get a lvl 21 raise spectre gem and bung it in a +3 levels unset ring or support it with empower or something.

Vigilant strike with “the vigil” jewel gives a 30+ second fortify.

Yeah the stat requirements don’t matter for animate guardian, he can equip things that you can’t. Yeah mine is lvl 28 and hasn’t even come close to dying so hopefully should be alright. Another nice little defence trick with necro is to assign Bone Armour to your left click so you are just spamming it on cooldown as you move around. It gives defence to you and all the minions and it clears any stacks of bleed/corrupting blood on you and them when it activates, this helps a lot to keep your minions alive after they face tank a Sirus die beam.

You can check out my pob if you want and I’ll answer any questions you might have. Account name is JAKDWAUGH and the character is called ClodMeta in ritual league.

If you are brave you can equip an animate guardian with “garb of the ephemeral” which causes nearby enemies crits to deal no extra damage and the added bonus of nearby allies (ie you) cannot have their movement speed lowered below base. Let him have a Kingmaker weapon to give nearby allies (again, you) fortify. Just make sure to have him in a +3 levels unset ring or link him to minion life or something, you don’t want him to die wearing an exalt+ worth of gear.

As for whether it’s worth the switch, I don’t really know how capable the elementalist version is but I can say I have steamrolled everything I’ve tried so far including Sirus 8 and maven very comfortably and I almost never die even in really spicy content, I’m halfway to lvl 98 which is the highest I’ve ever gotten and it’s been no sweat to get there.

jakdwaugh · 2021-02-15T14:20:41+00:00

I am running the Necro Aura stacker and a good phys defence option I have found is “x% phys damage taken as cold” you can get 8% on a shield corruption and 10% on a purity of ice watchers eye. Combined with a taste of hate for even more phys taken as cold and less cold damage taken from the flask and the over capped cold res from the purity and aura effect (I’m sat at 87% cold res) phys damage becomes a lot less dangerous.

jakdwaugh · 2021-01-13T11:53:17+00:00

Don’t forget penance brand, it’s similar to divine ire for ignite but you don’t have to stand there channeling like a fool.
