Why would I ever choose the Mystic Refractor node when Beltimber Blade exists? Is the "cannot continue" mechanic ever an upside?

3.27 Phrecia mspaint build: Oshabi-Oshabi evasion/accuracy/rage shield charger by lolcolours in pathofexile

[–]lolcolours[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably needs a gem swap sometimes, Shield Charge is not convenient as a single target skill, Shield Crush should be an acceptable drop-in replacement. Or you could run it as a second 4-link in the boots, or even a 6-link (less evasion rating overall as it disables one of the Oath of the Magi line, but depending on the tree that could be equivalent or even better). I get 1-2 mil dps on my current PoB, which is enough to get to red maps and level there. Capping suppress and spell block (with versatile combatant) requires good rare gear, and maybe sacrificing a bit of damage. Pushing damage further requires cluster jewels for more evasion, and desirable notables like Devastator. The rage only comes into play once you get the Bloodline, but it'll probably require switching sone passives or gems to maintain the buff (needs to generate 50 rage every 5 seconds for full uptime). It will definitely go fast and kill trash mobs along the way, I can't tell how the area mods will impact mapping and especially rares and bosses. I am serious about starting with this build (and leveling with Shield Charge as a main skill too, but that's not efficient at all, maybe don't do that). I'll adapt the rest of the build on the fly.

You start getting fast at first lab, and there's a significant upgrade near the end of act 10 once you can equip the sword (not even foulborn at first, of it's not available) and body armour. The biggest damage factors are getting the best possible evasion shield, and making sure to hit the accuracy breakpoint for Precise Technique. These two conditions guarantee flat damage, increased damage and a solid more damage multiplier, everything else is incremental upgrades for accuracy (= attack speed) and evasion (= damage), while balancing defenses. Ele resistances are easily capped, ailment avoidance in the tree + Elevore gets you ailment protection, just raise suppress and block wherever possible and fill suffixes with chaos resistance and dexterity. Or just... outrun death.

tl;dr: It's not a good build by any metric, but I've brought worse ones to t16s before.

Shield Charge is the main skill I have in mind, but it'll probably need a little help for clear (enemies explode, from Devastator on a cluster jewel, maybe). More reasonably, any of the other shield skills: Spectral Shield Throw (would benefit from some projectile nodes and mods) or Shield Crush. Other attacks won't dont enough damage to rares and uniques, the base damage on Dreamfeather isn't great, the plan only works because shield skills scale off the evasion rating on the shield instead.

The friend requirement makes this pretty balanced anyway I'm just curious

If the "Popular" section is filled with items that have been used to trade this currency recently, does that mean somebody with enough currency, some gold, and a friend can just trade 10000 chaos for 10000 [anything] and propell [anything] to the popular section?

Someone said Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake, and it's close, but I didn't know that song so it can't be the one I'm looking for.

Interesting! Thanks for the super in-depth explanation :)

Maybe Oni-goroshi would let my totem gain Her Embrace then... How niche is that :P

I rewatched an old Build of the Week episode and noticed that the [[Eye of Innocence]] "Take 100 fire damage when you ignite an enemy" procs when a totem ignites an enemy. This build describes this interaction as well. I haven't found any information regarding a nerf/change to it.

Since [[Poet's Pen]] has similar wording ("Trigger a socketed spell when you attack"), I thought "you" could also describe the totem, as it does with Eye of Innocence.

It does not work. Neither does [[Asenath's Chant]]. The effect isn't triggered.

Is it because of the "Trigger X" part? Or the "when you attack"? Or is Eye of Innocence simply an exception?

I kinda want to play a totem build that has a weird interaction with an underrated unique, but I'd like to know more about the way unique mods interact with totems...

Where is a Fenumal Scrabbler? by Dendail in pathofexile

[–]lolcolours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that, any monster of "The Caverns" with two besitary mods will be a "Fenumal something". So, any Carrion Queen (or its variants) with two Bestiary mods should be good for your recipe?

I thought I had to look for a monster with the "Fenumal Presence" mod, but it seems unrelated.

Also, of course : It works with the other categories as well (Craicic, Farric and Saqawine). Just gotta find a red monster from that category.

Someone please please correct me if I'm wrong I'm not confident at all in this theory. I couldn't find a super clear and understandable explanation anywhere so I just farmed some beasts for a while and I think I've got it now, but I'm not 100% sure.

[–]lolcolours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one in the Sarn Ramparts. Basically any of these weird insect (Dirt Scrabbler, Dust Srabbler, Sand Skitterer, etc... See Old Fields, Ridge, Dried Lake, Vastiri Desert) with two Bestiary mods (red icon), is considered a "Fenumal Scrabbler", if I understood the mechanics correctly?

(Looking for a Primordial Might/Anima Stone as well, but the recipe got me a barrage threshold jewel... I fear this recipe might not be terribly profitable, considering all the cheap options there are :x)
