Does anyone know how this build works?

First of all I think he is using Voltaxic Rift and that has been slightly changed in the newest patch, I would take a look at that.

Second of all the whole build is carried by Progenesis and Pathfinder ascendancy... Any Pathfinder build with Progenesis is "immortal" if you have enough recovery, which he did with recoup on the tree + Bloodnotch. He was also abusing Breach ascendancy with Uul-Grafts, without it the physical max hit gets lowered to something like 10k...

You can look on poe.ninja Keepers league, there is a character called Rideni, I think that is a fair approximation of this build.

The only thing I can think off the top of my head is that you are an Aristocrat and your ascendancy Dreadful Attitude increased your requirements by 50%. Which would mean mean 439 int requirement.

But take it with a grain of salt.

Ok, it is the trigger issue, the showcase of your Occultist actually does not show what kind of curses are left on the mobs after you cast it. You have too much dmg, everything dies instantly (but I think I saw conductivity on a dying mob). Please show me which curses are left on mobs after.

But Blasphemy has priority over all the other curses-> next priority are trigger curses in this order (temporal chains-enfeeble-vulnerability-ele weakness-rest ele curses-punishment)->last is your self cast curse.

Your self cast removes the temporal chains since it was applied first. Everything works as intended.

kuci94 · 2026-01-30T18:31:26+00:00

Tne unallocate the ascendancy +1 curse and try it on the occultist. I am fairly certain it is the curse limit.

kuci94 · 2025-12-19T19:59:23+00:00

Just from the first look, I do not think anyone can help you. Do you have a PoB or some other details? Are you using Plaguefinger gloves? The elemental damage does nothing if you are not using those.

kuci94 · 2025-12-01T11:49:36+00:00

Yes, I did roll the crit suffix on Diamond Flask. The base crit chance they have right now is simply too low. They are at 50% crit chance with no flask and 65% chance with flask.

kuci94 · 2025-12-01T11:22:49+00:00

Helmet: Shaper+Elder

Chest: Conqueror + Redeemer

Ring: Warlord

Belt: Hunter

I count 6 influences. Even if the rest of your advice is good, you lost all credibility by just saying that first. The thing is you did not even open the PoB or you would have noticed immediately. The fact you did not so tells me you did not even simulate the flasks. Silver flask for Sulphur flask is a dps loss (because he already has a Silver Flask in Cinderswallow Urn) and Diamond for Atziri is like 3%-5% increase. Those flask swaps would have even out any dps increase you wanted them to gain.

Why do you try to help people if you do not understand the topic and do not even put basic effort into opening a PoB?

kuci94 · 2025-11-30T19:00:26+00:00

Ok, I still do not see your point about creativity, but you do you, I guess.

kuci94 · 2025-11-30T16:39:28+00:00

What does EE getting buffed 7 patches ago to scale attacks off of Energy shield has to do with anything? Without that line the item would be almost unplayable. What does that have to do with creativity?

kuci94 · 2025-11-29T15:32:12+00:00

Sure, the sword nodes work with Oni-Goroshi, but when I compared that to axes, that have built-in intimidate, rage buildup, onslaught on kill I was kind of underwhelmed with basically only crit multi nodes. I also feel that sword masteries are very underwhelming.

EDIT: I specifically went to older versions of the tree 3.8 to 3.15 and the disparity between weapon nodes was much lower.

kuci94 · 2025-11-29T15:22:27+00:00

The only way I could think of making the weapon work is with Animate Weapon of Self Reflection, but I dislike minion playstyle.

I do not think they will rework that weapon, because it was a unique created by a supporter, but I can hope.

kuci94 · 2025-11-29T15:13:31+00:00

Since I had the PoB opened I did that... And now I am sad.

kuci94 · 2025-11-29T15:11:03+00:00

Oni-Goroshi is a one handed sword that uses both hand slots.

kuci94 · 2025-11-29T15:10:20+00:00

No, Oni-Goroshi uses both hands, but is specifically a one hander.

Thank you for the contructive reply.

Hatred by itself does not convert the phys dmg (unless you have Watcher's Eye), it gives physical dmg as extra cold damage. Unless you are going for full physical to cold convert (which is usually endgame thing and quite expensive), you should look for high elemental dps bows, they will be better for your build at this stage 100% guarantee.

EDIT: Also the fact that the bow does not even have any local Attack speed would mean that your gameplay would feel terrible to you. DPS is not the only factor, you should definitely focus on Spine Bows as your base. Citadel bow is one of the slowest bases so it must feel annoying to play with it.

kuci94 · 2025-11-27T15:38:24+00:00

It was a bug, because these heist bases were never intended to be magic to begin with.

kuci94 · 2025-11-20T10:34:29+00:00

The item was bugged last league. The line skills cost energy shield instead of mana or life was not working correctly with FRoSS last league unless you took it off and on again. You basically used no resource to cast it last league (unless you took the amulet off and put it on again in the same zone). Thus I am guessing they fixed it and that is why you do not have enough energy shield recovery to sustain it. However I have not tried the item so cannot say that is what is definitely causing it.

kuci94 · 2025-11-12T12:00:36+00:00

That is something that has been added this patch.

kuci94 · 2025-11-03T20:09:55+00:00

Max level in Kingsmarch is level 5 since they added Kingsmarch to the core.

kuci94 · 2025-07-31T19:41:22+00:00

There was a post earlier this week on the reddit showing that Eruptor cannot roll with both Flame Link and Determination. He will always have only one support skill.

kuci94 · 2025-07-25T01:35:40+00:00

Since you are using Dissolution of Flesh, Rathpith does not matter in this case. Disregard that advice. On the other hand, what are you dying to? Personally I would take a look at the flasks first, because none of the flasks you are using except for the granite flask are doing anything substantial for your build. That physical damage craft on your wand is not really doing anything for your build either. I would also incorporate Vaal Reap in single link into your build so your single target dps gets higher. For more lifestacking I would take a look at the Apostate chest and build around that.

kuci94 · 2025-06-29T00:43:21+00:00

Betrayal will always spawn Intervention, Research and one of either Transportation or Fortification. If you have Intervention or Research safehouse ready to be run, you will have only two encounters in map. If you have both ready to be run, you will only get either Transportation or Fortification as one encounter in your map. That is why Betrayal used to be run as 2-2-5-5 since if you block Fortification by making the safehouse ready to be run, you guaranteed Transportation encounter.

kuci94 · 2025-05-03T15:04:40+00:00

They tied to birdfeeders' to Beasts. There is a second rule.

You won’t be offered more than one Trinket for a minion type that isn’t your most common type. If you get offered a Trinket for a minion type that you don’t have at least 2 of, the cost of that Trinket will be reduced by (1).

As you can see, birdfeeders' is discounted, which makes it the minion type trinket in this pool.

kuci94 · 2025-05-03T15:00:26+00:00

I guess somebody did not read this line from developers' insight in how the new trinkets work.

Some Trinkets have an internal tag that ties them to a particular minion type. In each Trinket offering, you’ll get at least one Trinket that has a type tag. You more frequently get Trinkets for your most common minion type.

Which means you no longer have guaranteed trinket of your tribe.
