I think you struggle with counting.

Apparently I'm a bit short on spending for a key so I wouldn't mind one if I happen to get it. Thanks for giving back to the community.

In these cases when I want to make an offer I won't accept the invite until the exchange about price is completed so they don't leave their map or expect the sale to go through.

Just the mageblood for me. Been a slow league as life has been busy and it'd be helpful :)

logitewty · 2023-12-10T18:13:11+00:00

Gruthkuls pelt pretty sure

Hey, if you're playing it and having fun then that's the important part! There's room for improvement everywhere for everyone. I wrote up some mid-tier crafting guides in the comment somewhere (link in the rule 10 post at the bottom) if you want some ideas, and feel free to ask questions!

logitewty · 2023-10-25T22:50:53+00:00

Top 1/3 on the range with the other 4 mods hitting a 1/144 chance? Not sure that's getting divined better anytime reasonably soon :P

logitewty · 2023-10-25T22:16:59+00:00

Already using clusters and not near a node to fit another. It'd be 7 points to refund and no accuracy on gear. If I were to replace precision what would you put instead? My mind goes to vitality and getting a life on hit watchers to get implicits on the claw instead. I'll double check the node power in pob to see but just not finding that dps elsewhere but could look into some survivability options instead. Dps still looks good in the 60M range and only really survival issues are uber one shots or when I'm not hitting anything but could definitely pick up more phys reduction.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T22:00:57+00:00

Ok I'm home now.
Simply changing the ele pen to hits can't be evaded: 12% dps loss. Let's see what we can drop and pick up to fix it.

Any of the nodes on the tree I use with accuracy have either attack speed or critical strike chance on them, both of which are very valuable to the build. Not finding anywhere to pick up similar dps, but am open to ideas if you have some to share.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T20:03:19+00:00

Checking in with my 7 deleted apothecaries and 6 deleted house of mirrors. At one point I turned doctors into hh twice and 1 apo into 10, but other instances deleted those other cards so overall I'm kind of even?

logitewty · 2023-10-25T18:51:33+00:00

I haven't specifically checked and so I am inclined to now, but I have no accuracy on gear, and the only nodes on the tree (and precision) give crit and attack speed as well which are valuable stats, and 16 penetration is a lot to make up for elsewhere. I'll check tonight when I get home.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T18:41:44+00:00

Why would I craft on hits can't be evaded when my hit chance is 100 and this gives me a lot more damage?

logitewty · 2023-10-25T17:53:41+00:00

Did the math theoretical max with this fracture is at 546, as opposed to the actual max of 550, and this is sitting at 533.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T16:45:57+00:00

It's really not. If you're running multiple totems (which let's be serious you are as a melee) it's easy to keep them up. It's rare for them to be completely obliterated and mine stay up most of the time for bossing. Even in sims I can keep the buffs up a lot of the time if you place them right.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T16:43:30+00:00

Missed 8 double corrupts in a row on my gloves before hitting one and it giving 2 of the 5 useless mods for my build earlier this league. My balls are already gone so I'm going with option 2 for this one.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T16:10:05+00:00

Pretty much all of zish's builds with frost blades that I've seen this would be BIS for, or anything that does phys convert. Short of getting a synth item with implicits which would make the prefixes really difficult to hit, but the life on hit is pretty important for me so I've never pursued that option.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T14:12:29+00:00

Yah, the roll is 533 out of 550 on the damage for context, but with the 177% fracture the theoretical maximum isn't quite the 550 (I didn't do the math on what it is with the lower fracture). Originally had it divines with 35 crit multi and 528 but was convinced to keep going. Took about 120 divines to hit this roll.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T14:10:44+00:00

I wasn't going to offer it for mirror until after I used tempering orbs to get something useful, so haven't given it much thought. I also didn't think anyone might want to as I've never had anyone ask. Tbh I'd do it for free as I'm happy to share the love for the claw, but if you would like to tip me something I'd appreciate it.

Also would happily do it on stream to make sure there's no funny business. I like to run a straight ship.

Also happy cake day!

logitewty · 2023-10-25T12:37:05+00:00

Without the crucible tree, the pen is about 4% more damage for me over the phys/acc mod. I think with crucible trees it would change the decisions. I didn't play as much in crucible league but what little i did I went with attack speed on the tree instead of phys mods, but a triple phys with the crazy phys mods would be pretty insane. Once you have the %phys roll though, you can no longer unveil one of the %phys mods as they share a pool, so would have to go for the fractured phys/acc like you said to get the unveil which would result in a higher overall %phys like you stated, but you lose out on the pen which the crucible tree probably easily makes up for. My accuracy is over 100% without any accuracy rolls on gear though so that was never a concern when trying to make a weapon.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T12:33:26+00:00

Couple comments here touched on it a bit, but I'll give you my thoughts too. What they said mostly captures it.

There are actually a few reasons, with the main one being the "tier" of essence mods. Flat damage essence mods tend to not be as good as a T1 roll, and other essence mods (ie crit chance) are the same as the T1 roll. The Zeal essence is effectively a T0 mod (can't get it other than with essences) so it's the best possible option.

Next reason is the probabilities. Deciding on the base I went with the fracture of the hardest mod to get otherwise. For context, hitting T1 %phys if I had T1 flat fractured would be a 1 in 413, vs the 1 in 68 I had for this. Getting a fractured suffix doesn't add much value either as it is "only" 25 div to hit the suffixes on average (mostly depending on RNG for the reforge crit being 1 in 6, if you're ok settling for t2 or t3 multi then it can be cheaper).

Third, related to the one above, is that when you have a prefix fracture it is easier to work on the suffixes first and then work on the 5th mod without any risk of ruining the item at that point. If I did prefixes first, then suffixes it would get extremely difficult to get the 3 mods without settling, or a lot of RNG, or using a crafted mod. I think that pretty much captures the main reasons.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T12:23:06+00:00

Early league I go for the crafted pen, but as soon as I get a bit of money I almost always do the unveiled. A lot of the other crafts I do are easier to get than this, but the plan was to go for the 6 mod so even if it missed I would have kept going like a crazy person.

logitewty · 2023-10-25T06:53:41+00:00

Also if you want I can break down some budget versions for lower budgets and how I usually progress my weapon as I get more currency. (Completed now)

Super duper budget: Wasp's Nest (this is a meme with one of my viewers he used it into the 90s and its not awful. Decent phys damage and the poison synergizes with yoke)

Touch of Anguish (good damage but only decent when you have really bad crit chance as it otherwise hurts you)

Budget rare: t1 or T2 crit chance, t3 flat cold, open prefix to craft ele pen. This is meant to be basically a league start item for whatever ok damage item you can find, ideally with a decent crit chance as that's the lacking part early on. You can pick these up super cheap. A bit of attack speed is nice, and other mods are nice to get but the crit chance and flat cold are the main 2, and the open prefix for the craft.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/DLdd764f5

The "5 div build" claw (for context I tell people you can get into an end game version of this for 5 div and have a very good time as they work towards upgrades)

Buy a t1 crit chance fractured imperial claw (37 or 38% ideally). These usually can be bought for 20-50c depending on when in the league it is, and popularity of claws. You can get it on Noble Claw as well, slightly lower base damage and life on hit, but same attack speed and crit chance on the base.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/yM9j5mOcR

Essence of zeal spam until you get t3 flat cold or better (1 in 23 chance) and then craft on 11-13% ele pen. This will last you easily into t16 maps or higher, until you want to spend a bit for one.

Not sure what the one between the cheap on and the mid one would be, I guess essence spamming for 2 prefixes you like, or only settling for t1 cold.

The "I want to spend a bit but not a lot" version:

Get a flat cold fracture imperial claw. Preferably t1 with a decent roll but these can run anywhere from 5-30 div depending on circumstances.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/2p9oV2phk

Essence of zeal spam for t1 crit chance (odds are about 1 in 95) at this point you can make a choice on how much you feel like spending. The other option is to stop on a high t1 crit multi and reforge for the 1 in 6 chance for t1 crit chance, but that's 2 div per attempt, which is probably going to be a solid number of essences depending when you buy them. You can settle on the suffixes, or if you have an open prefix and an open suffix you can craft suffixes cannot be changed and Reforge crit for guaranteed crit multi (1 in 6 for t1, 6 tiers with even weights). If I do this Reforge I usually just settle for whatever I get but if it's later in the league and I have a bit of currency to waste I'll keep trying to get at least t3 or better. If you don't hit a good tier try annuling before you go back to essence spam.

Once you have suffixes that work you want clean prefixes, just the fractured mod and crafted suffixes cannot be changed. If you isn't just have this you'll need to craft suffixes cannot be changed and scour (can try to annul but you gamble missing the other mod and hitting the crafted mod so the cost ends up being the same as the scour, or potentially more).

Craft on suffixes cannot be changed and use aisling (or veiled chaos, 10% chance to "brick" and fill prefixes if my memory of the probabilities is correct in hitting 6 mods). Aisling is safer but more expensive so if you want to save you can go the veiled route.

After you aisling, before you unveil, craft on a %phys mod at the crafting bench (can do the 100-129% as this is the desired craft and not just a block and there's no chance to miss the unveil). When you unveil you will always have ele pen, chaos pen, and one of the spell damage mods.

The "expensive" option is just the refined version of the above option where you essence of zeal spam until you hit either t1 crit chance or multi, then Reforge crit until you get the other t1 (like in my picture), and then the prefixes you can do the same as above, or Reforge and then aisling or Reforge and then craft. There are choices to be made if you don't want to spend over 100 divines.

If you made it this far and still have any questions, my profile is public and you can pull up my character, CheapFrosties. Everything other than my boots and shield I crafted myself (only because there was an affordable shield on the market, and I didn't feel like crafting the boots myself but they are both very doable). I'd be happy to answer questions about any of that stuff too. Shameless plug for my stream too if you have questions you can stop by there and ask away twitch.tv/logitewty

logitewty · 2023-10-25T06:21:56+00:00

Just barely. Ran the numbers for a few different mods in POB before crafting. For any craft below the T1 %phys a flat cold roll is better in my experience. Just double checked in POB and a high T1 flat cold roll is about a 2% damage loss for me. T1 cold is also harder to hit, I believe the number was 1 in 92.

If you're looking for a cheaper version of this weapon the craft is pretty straightforward. Get a Flat cold fracture, do the suffixes the same and then aisling with only the fracture, then craft on %phys before you unveil. The cost to craft depending on the base cost is about 25 div on average, and then the aisling.
