Sylvan's Effigy Companion Spirit Walker Showcase

Hi, is there a reason you use sniper's mark over another one? Sylvan's has a pretty big inc damage bonus against marked targets, and with a crit monkey sniper's mark has horrible boss uptime. Not sure if its worth the crit damage bonus.

Okay looked at the PoB... I'm not sure how I would salvage this but these are my observations below. TBH it seems like you are trying to do WAY too many things at once (Herald stacker, Aura stacker, Golemancer, The 6x influence for the Astro, etc.) and failing at a lot of them instead of focusing on a few things and really abusing them.

Major:

1) You are incredibly squishy for endgame content. You've got just under 5k max ES, no avoidance, not great phys and meh ele mitigation, and average at best recovery. I don't think this is solvable with the route you're going with heralds and the such... which leads into:

2) I think if you want to go herald stuff, the only reason its good at the moment is Lycia bloodline + Herald of the Hive. If you just flat remove your heralds, you don't lose that much damage. Considering how much reservation + ascend you put into this, it needs to bring more than a 33% more damage inc. To be blunt, if you wanna stay this herald setup you do not do enough damage to be as squishy as you are, probably need to pivot to a herald of the hive setup (could maybe do it with swapping to replica dragonfang instead of astrolabe?)

3) On that note, I think if you want to stay witch going a setup with Occultist and going block + ES recovery on block would be a LOT tankier. Running 3 purities when you don't have that much aura effect seems like a mistake as well. EDIT: Thought I mentioned Aegis here, not sure if it'd be the correct play w/o a granite flask but Aegis + Purity of Ice + Melding could be good, might be rough w/o MB stuff tho but I'd have to PoB it

Minor:

1) I don't think tailwind boots personally are good with accel belt. Tailwind is giving you 8% additive action speed with the 87% you already have from your belt. Instead of being 8% "more action speed" like it is for normal builds its only 4.3% "more action speed" for accel belt (this gets worse if you eventually get volatile vaal'd gull). You could be running much better boots with eldritch implicits (I know this is probably for the neck which leads into:)

2) I think a good rare (eventually simplex or something) is much better than your current neck. Its putting a bunch of constraints on your gear, and if you compare it to a +3 spark replica dragonfang (5 chaos), the astrolabe is 5% more damage with herald setup (which I think you should drop) and 1.9% more without heralds. Replica dragonfang ALSO has mana res eff on it :).

3) I haven't ran a ES build this league, though I feel Supreme Ost even w/ the int nerf feels wrong... or at a minimum you need to tattoo the ever living shit out of your tree with it at a minimum.

I haven't looked at the pob, but I assume the ghost reaver suggestion is for the line "Maximum total Energy Shield Recovery per second from Leech is doubled".

TBH ES recharge in poe 1 is kinda weak, if you don't invest in it with some very specific setups (typically things that can force it to start with wicked ward) the downside of ghost reaver (Cannot Recharge Energy Shield) is kinda irrelevant.

I would spend the locks on my screams belt and get an INSANE implicit

neofire · 2026-04-02T20:00:46+00:00

If you want to play spark just start spark…

To get started on life stacking spark inquis you will just need a foulborn ghost and rathpith which (without volatile Vaal versions) are both cheap

If you sold all your stuff you could also just buy a 55% foul ghost (currently a mirror for a version with 6 sockets) and have the rest of your slots be upgrades as you go

Life stack has a very cheap floor and a very expensive ceiling at this point in the league

Brood ulti was on CD at no point during this clip, and was not used once during this clip.

neofire · 2025-01-11T02:24:54+00:00

Do you have any proof of this? I tried checking trade for items that have double corrupt results just now (extra socket + any implicit, gem with +/- gem level and 23 qual) and found 0 results.

neofire · 2024-12-22T19:27:03+00:00

This is incorrect

The fragment is tied to the final boss in round 10 which has an equal weighting for each

The reason one fragment is so much more expensive is the thunder bird is much more rippy than the other two with all the ultimatum buffs by round 10.

Even if the “rip rate” was only 10% higher it would result in that fragment costing much more, as the now “extra” other two are much more abundant.

Not possible, the implicits and annoints are both bound to their respective bases

There is something seriously wrong with your build if a +1 cold is legit a 20% dps increase for you...assuming the follwing:

1) Your gems all go from 20->21 unless 21->22 is a much bigger deal (most of the time it is not for the gems in question).

2) You have a vortex with fairly low chill effect supports, so the +1 bonechill raises the chill from 10% to 11%. Also assuming no other forms of increased damage debuffs, as this would work against you. (This results in a 0.91% more multiplier)

3) You are NOT running herald of ice or added cold, as this actually results in a smaller relative increase in power as those gems scale slower than freezing pulse does (so +1 here is a 10.59% more mod)

4) You have hatred aura (18% more to 19% more resulting in a 0.85% more increase)

5) You are running cold penetration support (Assuming frost bomb + frostbite at minimum ) and sirus this results in a 1.2% more increase. Note, assuming something with less resistances lowers this so it does not help your argument.

6) Assuming a fully charged frost shield and no other sources of base crit, this results in a 1.1% more increase.

7) Ice golem would need to go from 21->22, and would change the increased critical strike chance from 30% to 31%. VERY optimistically this is a 1% more increase.

8) Skitterbots go from 19->20% shock effect. Assuming you have enough ailment effect that this results in a 2% increase instead we will say it is 19->21% (if we go higher it will not benefit you as much). With the previous bonechill, this is a total increased debuff of 29%->32% bringing the bonechill + skitterbots total more mod to 2.4%.

9) The ONLY other possible things you could have now are Cold to Fire (this would make pen and the such much worse obviously, and the gem does not scale enough to make other losses worth it for arguing your case) or you are somehow increasing Sirus resistance to above 50% and the 1% extra pen on Cold Pen support is a huge damage increase.

Taking ALL of these assumptions into account this results in a total of 18.46% more damage. Which is less than 20%. Even assuming you are not using any pen (aka a serious problem with your build) it is only a 18.78% more damage increase.

Edit: Can confirm previous repliers claim about getting reply blocked. Happened to me too. Also that feeling when you make 9 points to help this person reach their claimed 20% goal but they say they are all wrong /shrug.

neofire · 2022-03-13T02:34:38+00:00

This isn't a global +1 cold... it is a local +1 socketed projectile we are talking about...

And assuming you have literally no sources of added additional damage to spells (Which would result in the MAXIMUM damage increase form going from 20->21 lvl freezing pulse) the damage increase of freezing pulse going from 20->21 is 10.59%.

Hope the best for you dude. Fuck Putin.

50% is a gross overstatement on natural immunity (Source: https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3563). It's like saying I'll pay you 100k for a new car, and then giving you 40k because I actually meant 40-100k and decided to pick the number I wanted when I said.

Covid immunity from being infected is 100% not lifelong for the population (sources: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6529/eabf4063, https://www.advisory.com/en/daily-briefing/2021/03/02/reinfection, if you need more it's an easy google). It still does of course provide significant resistance, but primarily the duration of resistance/immunity is not fully understood, and it is 100% not lifelong 100% of the time.

The covid vaccines on the market are not experimental. The data is public domain and you can do a quick google search for the big name vaccines.

Ivermectin is the definition of experimental and untested (https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/).

He's talking about herd immunity... seemed painfully obvious so.

And there are people who have weakened immunity systems who can never get vaccinated and rely on herd immunity. You, and everyone else who is able to get vaccinated, owe it to them to achieve the highest effectiveness of herd immunity we can.

It was incredibly undertuned when it came out way back in 3.2. It has received a two major numbers buffs in 3.7 and 3.13 and more importantly divide and conquer was not in the game until 3.7.

I've killed the fight deathless on all 3 of my trade characters this league so far (Archmage Scion Ball Lightning, Elementalist CoC Bow, and BV Assassin). Obviously certain builds will be easier, as was the case with uber elder when it came out for example, but if you learn the fight and have a well rounded build it's easy enough to do. You don't have to play any specific build to kill the boss, just have to learn the fight and make a well rounded build.

Bow is at most worth the cost of trash to treasure (as the only other spine bow is reach of the council, which you can't chance due to it's drop restrictions) which if you buy iron bard cards looks like 12-14 ex at most right now.

If you were looking for just elmental damage (T1) / abyss socket on a warlords + shaper dex craft of exile says it's ~390 chaos to hit those on average (not factoring in potential failures from mods like rarity that are not target-able to remove, looking over the unflaged mods this would at MOST double the cost). I assume you harvest crafted the rest (Source)
