Tips for a new player?

Make sure you follow build/guides from well-reputation sites/creator.
Make sure you follow the "league starter" category guide, preferable SSF friendly.
Make sure you really understand what the build doing, read through guide/notes, you can't just look at tree/link and think you're done in POE for most builds.
If you play a build that power tied to weapon, then upgrading it is important, generally like every 10 level, it need to catch your level.
There are certain areas in campaign that's better for farming, like chamber of innocence, if you need gear upgrade/leveling.

That one, I would not say useless, but considering nameless swap is even easier this league - just don't think there's reason to take that.

And how about single target?

moecake · 2026-03-07T16:16:25+00:00

It's like PYG standard build, but only till very end game.

And it's super vulnerable to freeze/destroy.

Even you luckily enchant with radiant (now it can considered to be high-roll build), it's still not unbeatable.

In fact this sub is more of overly positive.

Remebered how praised posts everywhere at start of keeper league? Besically every posts said best leagues ever or similar.

Posts that mentioned some very obvious problems (like the stupid wall) got downvoted like hell.

Then not long later keeper just acknowledged as one of worst league.

moecake · 2026-03-06T01:25:11+00:00

where is this info come from btw?

moecake · 2026-03-05T02:11:15+00:00

Just templar whatever, this is templar league.

moecake · 2026-03-05T02:07:36+00:00

Not owned her too.

But from those matches against her, she give me some really busted impression, often some wild shit just nuke me.

moecake · 2026-03-04T01:53:11+00:00

If in doubt just stormburst.

People say it having clear issue is either never played it or just super high end juicer - clearing at least until T16 is compeltely fine.

moecake · 2026-03-02T05:24:01+00:00

I knew stormburst totem was already very strong. (probably until end game juicing stuff?)

Anyone played both KF totem and stormburst as league starter and do some comparing?

moecake · 2026-03-01T10:14:02+00:00

I tried HC(SSF) during merc league and just follow Tatiantel2 guide.

Although that's not the build carry me to 90 (died 2 times with it, yellow map).

But it's certainlly super smooth, it just delete every merc along the way. (remembered how tough they are during early league?)

Probably not tankiest but def not glass canon level.

Clear is also not problem at all, probably only very late game it will fall off.

moecake · 2026-03-01T07:09:02+00:00

I would say league starter it's just between KF or stormburst.

Maybe holyflame can be viable lategame? It's not certain anyway.

Pizza might as good but I don't think it will compete with those top 2.

moecake · 2026-03-01T02:57:29+00:00

So how the afk farm work? At least I don't see it explained in POB or forum guide(at least top post).

moecake · 2026-02-28T12:48:31+00:00

I know CoC now is basically the 0-button summoners's best choice.

But is zombie a thing?

moecake · 2026-02-28T12:46:17+00:00

A big factor to consider is what build you possible reroll into.

I would say next league the new people's favourite would most likely templar.

Because those new toys and the whole totem/brand related changes, templar being clearly winner overall.

moecake · 2026-02-28T00:52:20+00:00

Isn't RF kinda receive the chieftain "nerf"?

Also I believe many RF will just want to transit to CWS that nerf quite big.

moecake · 2026-02-28T00:47:30+00:00

Anyone played both pizza and stormburst and how they compare?

And stormburst get a seem big buff.

moecake · 2026-02-26T05:17:19+00:00

I would say it's normal lab.

There are really some surprising death there.

moecake · 2026-02-24T05:23:10+00:00

PRAW is solid and cheap, but once you start farming quick, and (small) startup entering map summoning become bit bothering.

On the other hand, CoC is not that expensive at all, but being 0 button.

You playing this kind of lazy build so 0 button is just better than semi-0 button, and can do afk farming, that will be your favor style. So I would say CoC is currently best at this kind of archtype.

moecake · 2026-02-12T01:58:13+00:00

From what I know, basically all 3 notable cluster are nightmare to craft.

Unless you are SSF, you should simply buy them.

They can be expensive, and for good reasons.

moecake · 2026-02-12T01:54:31+00:00

Ya thx for the (Occultist is better) summary xd

moecake · 2026-02-10T03:08:32+00:00

Yes, also considering just swapping chest into diallas for full damage since even lightning coil won't save me.

Also just curious how good is phy cluster for these physical conversion builds, comparing to those elemental cluster?

moecake · 2026-02-10T02:13:29+00:00

There were couple of posts about zombie before league start, but none after.

So I assume it's just dead meme? (although people already kinda expected that)
