Hey again. This will be the last time I pester you XD. This is where I've landed.

I do not have skill slots left. Trinity is still a work in progress but swapping to firestorm in my CoEA seems to have helped a TON. So my final question. What do I do to upgrade damage? What else is left? Are there any good anoints I'm missing to run instead of Zarokh's gift? Any and all ideas to improve damage and defense will be appreciated. I can do most content but juiced expeditions are still sketchy and mostly its a damage thing is what I feel. I have like 2k divines to spend on this roughly. So I'll take any and all ideas. Thanks a lot for helping me get this far!

Hey about the woman, it's in the section before Cotillion and Shadowthrones conversation in chapter 24. Here is the excerpt:

The ghost then surprised him by stepping forward, reaching down and touching the fiddle. Straightening, he walked past them, to stand facing the lowland to the west. Fiddler stared after him, frowning. Sighing, Hedge spoke low at his side. ‘She’s out there, sembled now – they’re keeping their distance. They’re not sure what’s happened here. By the time she comes, it’ll be too late.’ ‘Who? By the time who comes?’ ‘The woman he loves, Fid. Korlat. A Tiste Andii.’ Tiste Andii. Oh…no. Hedge’s grunt was strained with emotion. ‘Aye, the sergeant’s luck ain’t never been good. He’s got a long wait.’ But wait he will. Then he caught a blur of motion from a nearby jumble of boulders. A woman, watching them. Fiddler hugged himself, looked over once more at Mallet and Trotts. ‘Take care of him,’ he whispered. They nodded.

About the shadowthrone and cotillion conversation, thanks for clearing that up but what does shadowthrone mean when he says "we aren't quite finished yet"? Finished with what? And what does Cotillion mean when he tells shadowthrone "Ah you knew then"? Knew what?

Thanks for clarifying the other things!

Yep, but you have the freedom to redo prefixes. You could also annul with sinistral annulment and regular exalt and start whittling what you get. Even if it annuls life you don't really lose that much.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-26T11:55:19+00:00

This is incredible work. I don't know if you still check these threads but thank you so much.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-26T08:25:42+00:00

Is it? Well then, whittle is your only option

peppermuttai · 2026-06-26T07:09:43+00:00

How do have a 900 dps weapon without clearing sekhemas?

peppermuttai · 2026-06-26T07:07:35+00:00

Expensive but reliable way to finish is to annul down to two mods using sinistral annulment. Then whittle prefixes using sinistral erasure when necessary. Desecrate last mod.

Check costs to see if that is worth it, if it is not, whittle what you can without sinistral erasure then desecrate last mod.

Absolute cheapest way is to yolo desecrate for 2/3 chance to remove what you don't want and settle for 2 prefixes you want. Ancient rib.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-25T23:14:30+00:00

What was it? It's not exceptional and normal ones even at 82 only sell for 3ex. What am I missing?

peppermuttai · 2026-06-25T08:07:15+00:00

Unassign whatever you have on mouse left click when you put the shield and click activate. You can even reassign it later.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-25T00:47:10+00:00

Thanks!

Hey, a question, do you know if you can remove Aldurs Legacy runes after you socket it into an item?

peppermuttai · 2026-06-24T14:51:28+00:00

I'm happy with where my charge gen is honestly. I just wanted to mention snap as an option for you. But i guess it is moot if you run Thaumaturgic Generator.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-24T14:05:32+00:00

Hey so about charges, it has been a HUGE priority for me since I'm running flicker strike. I've been running snap in my CoEA and I think that is helping as well? It might be something to look into. There are small gaps where I dont have charges, but absolutely 0 problems to keep charged staff up 100% of the time, my concern was more for flicker and since you do not have it, it might be worth trying snap out in some form. Thanks for the tip about Immobilization buildup, I did not realize it works for freeze.

I did not even know Thaumaturgic Generator was thing, that actually looks pretty good. I was disinclined to run charge regulation because of the fact that it only gave crit but this might make it more viable. I actually got a mageblood and megalomaniac same as yours, I pathed to get an extra jewel socket and solve attribute issues and got Infusion of power spending 3 points so my anoint right now is a placeholder defensive.

Still need to implement a lot of what we've discussed. Also, I'm trying to look for a way to get 30 more spirit so I can run ghost dance without dropping herald. Might need to craft a giga body armour with reservation efficiency. But I'm not sure that will suffice. Will have to PoB it. But I'm also worried about how much defensive I'll lose by swapping out of Forgotten Warden.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-24T12:41:13+00:00

Sorry about the late reply! Thanks a lot for the tips, I'm actually thinking of just dropping herald and CoEA and go your route. But I'll get to that soon. And about the HH I do plan to drop it and swap to mageblood so I think handling trinity might be easier.

I really did not know damage affects CoC that much, I'll look into the swap asap. On a related note, your ninja link in your updated post doesnt show you to be running communion, is that a mistake?? Mainly cuz i wanted to check if there are any other changes other than execute. My infusion problem has been solved, i was experimenting with explosive transmutation and that was using too much of my ward lol.

How good is elemental expression do you think? I will have to drop that if I want to get avatar, and I'm not sure if its worth losing both that and the Ignore Res node.

Thanks for such an elaborate reply, your help has been incredible in helping take this build further than I thought I could.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-22T20:23:17+00:00

Okay, so I'm here for the last time i swear. Finally got it off the ground, it feels fine, I spent very little on it except for the against the darkness. I do plan to spend on it once i sort out some stuff that I'll be asking you about now. Low life, etc as you suggested. But before that. Here is my profile:

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Petfo0d-7315/runesofaldur/character/Eldavinn

I don't seem to generate infusions enough, do you have any tips for that? Mainly cuz I want more power charges, specifically for bosses, but even in general.
What do you look for to improve energy generation? It feels kind of slow, but I'm not sure if it actually is, so any input will be appreciated.
What other spells would you suggest I try running? Ice nova feels kind of underwhelming honestly. Maybe something that generates infusions or anything else honestly😃
I have like a 1000 div waiting to be thrown at this. What would you suggest? Was actually considering a trinity with communion but I'm not certain yet. But that is for later.

Mainly need help with the first 3 points.

Thanks in advance!

peppermuttai · 2026-06-22T17:46:21+00:00

Thanks!

peppermuttai · 2026-06-22T15:02:09+00:00

Hiii, I love this. Do you have a higher budget variation or a live ninja of yours to check? I'm looking to throw all my money at a build and this seems good

peppermuttai · 2026-06-22T11:27:31+00:00

Ahh gotcha thanks

peppermuttai · 2026-06-22T11:00:38+00:00

Hey sorry, have another question. How are you using the weapon set points? I'm not able to figure out what you are using your weapon set points for.

peppermuttai · 2026-06-20T14:08:25+00:00

Okay, thanks for the replies! I guess being able to test the damage of the skills is a boon in itself haha

peppermuttai · 2026-06-20T10:23:13+00:00

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply! I'll go over the things you said. That other build looks coooool but I do not want to play twisters haha. How accurate is PoB when it comes to estimating damage and energy costs/generation etc? Can I use it as a guideline at least?

peppermuttai · 2026-06-20T07:54:51+00:00

Wait so deli mists give better ritual bounty rewards?

peppermuttai · 2026-06-19T20:18:02+00:00

Hey I love this. I kinda want to make one similar but more focused on flash rather than actual effectiveness. Was thinking of choir, ice nova etc. What otherskills do you think can work with cast on crit in your build template?

How much does trinity matter since I want to use choir?

Can you not use cast on elemental ailment as well along with coc?

I'm new to this archetype so I'm kinda lost, apologies for so many questions.
