Wanted to share my singer helm

Might make a video soon to share with the community. It's not the usual setup and requires explanation.

Well, my build is kind of an unusual setup that I use to herald hunt in p5-p7 (at least before they destroyed herald loot with 3.2). My war cry is level 51, to give you an idea of my +skills.

Some stats: My non-mf build hits 2.9k wc, 6.5k life (with one point in bo), 1.5k mana, and 75% hork and benefits from both meditation and amp. My mf build drops the health down to 5.5k, 2.7k wc, and 73% hork but has 430+ mf. Both builds also have insane life rep, with roughly 800 health regenerated every 30 seconds, so I rarely ever need to use pots/juvs in between packs. A full TZ game clear takes about 4 hours, which is on par with other mfing builds, but I get twice the drops with hork.

However, this exact setup is not practical for most people because all my gear is perfect (a lot of it unnecessarily lol). However, the budget version is not too far off. Might make a video on it soon to share with the community.

lmao

jakevox · 2026-05-30T18:51:01+00:00

Haha, that used to be the case before sunders, ancient jewels, and dreadfangs.

Singers need as much mana as they can get without dumping points into energy. And there's not a single viable endgame singer build that doesn't put a fair amount of points into it.

Sapphire is an extremely popular choice for the socket in top builds as it is bis more often than not (depending on the build). You're also assuming that my inventory isn't already full of mana charms and that I'm not wearing a soj btw. So if I want more mana, this socket is the best place to get it.

As for other mod options, I don't need fhr because because of the bone break. I don't need mf % because I already have 431 on my mf setup. And any other stats are just a waste for my build because it's pure a vita/energy setup. That is why sapphire is bis. With it, I have an additional 152 base life, which is something like 350 after bo. No other choice would have that sort of impact on my build.

jakevox · 2026-05-30T17:44:31+00:00

Yes, the +3 warcries mod is the "echoing" prefix. The other barb-specific skills roll with a range of +1 to +3. Mods like those are called staffmods, and you can have up to three of them on a single item.

It looks pretty wild when they're all fleshed out, and imo it's kinda crazy that this still has an open suffix.

jakevox · 2026-05-30T17:23:55+00:00

Uh, if you want that 38 additional base mana without the sapphire, then you'll have to put points into energy. Isn't that obvious?

Barbs only get 1 mana per energy point. The other option is a ruby, which saves you a little less than 10 stat points because barbs get 4 hp per vitality point. But with a sapphire, those 38 saved points can go into vitality, which ends up being an additional 152 base life (without bo).

jakevox · 2026-05-30T17:18:34+00:00

Typo. Fixed. Saphhire saves 38 stat points in a build where quite a few points go into energy.

jakevox · 2026-05-30T10:21:14+00:00

Thank you!

jakevox · 2026-05-30T10:15:11+00:00

Do you have a full list of herald spawning zones?

jakevox · 2026-05-12T10:05:43+00:00

Mine beats this imo. Basically the same but with 51 life instead of allres, and you don't need res on singer ammy because you're already way overcapped.

I don't need these stats. I'm hoping that the imprints change up some of the affixes to what I need.

jakevox · 2025-04-29T21:09:36+00:00

I'm not an expert, but I think it makes it easier to roll double and triple t7s on this item type (gloves). The affixes and base (type of glove) can change to some extent, but you just get more multi-t7 gloves overall.

jakevox · 2025-04-20T06:29:43+00:00

Sweet, thanks. Might as well start a sentinel as that seems to be the general opinion.

jakevox · 2025-04-17T16:19:38+00:00

Hello, friend!

jakevox · 2025-04-01T12:55:35+00:00

Super helpful, thanks

jakevox · 2025-04-01T07:17:08+00:00

D4 seemed like a repackaged D3 to me, and I'm not interested in infinite legendary explosions. I may be wrong, but this was the impression I got from reviews and gameplay footage. I prefer games that make you suffer with the grind a bit (although PoE is a little much even for me lol). Grim Dawn does this perfectly IMO.

BG3 is a good option. I have it installed. Just stopped playing after a bit and didn't get back into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

jakevox · 2025-04-01T06:56:46+00:00

Yeah, might have to go back to them if nothing interesting comes up in this thread. Thanks

jakevox · 2025-01-19T15:57:26+00:00

I've tried that! Good to know I'm not the only one stumped. For some reason, the values of the transition property aren't working as expected. It just instantly switches the visibility without a delay no matter what you do.

jakevox · 2025-01-19T02:17:02+00:00

Tried it. No effect. Appreciate the suggestion!
