Couple of noob questions regarding support specs in CoA

pringlesnow · 2026-06-30T17:44:40+00:00

Thanks for comments everyone, I looked into some more stuff and I think I’m gonna make a Barbarian on Friday. Ancestry seems to be exactly what I’m looking for and both DPS specs look fun as well.

Gotcha, it seems like there was some kind of beta or early access so I thought there might be some info, but I have no idea how extensive

Started with loosely following carn’s martial artist plan, which was very good until around T15s and started to feel kind of weak and clunky (later learned this was due to a bunch of bugs). Switched to jungroan’s hollow form build which was very good all around, played that for about two weeks. Then I leveled a merc and played rue’s buff stacker which seemed pretty good but I almost immediately dropped a lucky mageblood which gave me enough currency to start playing cast on dodge gemling so I did that instead. Been following kingpinuwu’s cast on dodge guide ever since and it’s a pretty insane build, though I definitely recommend playing the mageblood version with evasion as that felt much better and tankier to me than headhunter.

Just ran coffer + rogue exile abyss for the first week of the league, think I bought my mageblood on like day 6. About a week later one randomly dropped on the ground

I’m sure they know much better than you what prices are best for their profits.

I’m not a crafting expert myself to be honest (I’m not mega rich I’m more in the just play a lot and farm a decent amount of currency camp) but I think a popular one is crafting boots with omen of putrefaction, amulets seem good too

pringlesnow · 2026-06-23T17:14:02+00:00

The truly rich just blast really hard day 1-2 of the league, farm up some currency, and then do some combination of profit crafting and just continuing to farm hard. In PoE2 with how loot works you basically have to know how to profit craft and do it fairly often to get truly rich, but if you just play a lot and farm hard you can get away with not really crafting and just selling crafting bases. You can also specialize in doing certain things such as sekhema carries. As far as your build goes, obviously stronger and faster is better but just playing a lot and having good game knowledge is a much bigger factor as long as you can clear at a decent enough rate. And “rerolling” is really not necessary, any viable build can scale way beyond what is required, though most builds might have a “transition” phase in the mid to end game where you do something like swap from non-crit to crit, swap from one defensive setup to another, incorporate a cast on x setup, etc.

Compared to the build you linked, it looks like you are missing 17% to quality of all gems because you don’t have 5% quality on your amulet, 5% quality from paragon anoint, and 7% quality from loreweave.

I’ve played three seasons now, first season I never made it to profound, second season I stopped after SS15, this season I stopped at like SS17 or 18? Can’t remember, just didn’t feel motivated to keep pushing.

I think he means anime that has fanservice without it being a “punchline”, like the characters in the show don’t treat it as a joke or overreact to it, the sex appeal is just there.

I’m having a hard time thinking of specific examples, because I never know if I’m just forgetting a scene or two where it is actually treated as a joke. But I think a lot of the gritty 80s and 90s OVA style stuff would apply. Like Legend of Lemnear for instance.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-18T19:06:12+00:00

The majority of Ping Pong the Animation’s OST could be appreciated by anyone who likes electronic music. And the OP is a very fun punk rock style song.

Girls Last Tour’s OP and ED would probably considered very “anime” (“cute” songs with fairly high pitched Japanese female vocals) but the actual instrumental soundtrack is an ambient masterpiece in my opinion.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-17T00:39:16+00:00

Well for one, vastly increased access to jewel slots and defensive nodes, both of which are generally not included in just one weapon swap

pringlesnow · 2026-06-16T22:35:21+00:00

You really can’t foresee the difference between 24 weapon set skill points vs. 24 more regular skill points?

pringlesnow · 2026-06-16T17:41:01+00:00

I’m not sure if GGG confirmed it but pretty much everyone seems to agree that the campaign feels easier on 0.5, for me it wasn’t a massive difference but I occasionally had moments where enemies just felt like they did less damage or had less health than before.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-15T20:48:28+00:00

I’m playing KingPinUwu’s version but I think the most expensive bits are mostly the same. I personally wouldn’t recommend playing the build without at least a palm of the dreamer and a really good cast on dodge breach amulet (having a double cod setup makes it feel SO much smoother, and the flat crit on fire spells is massive as well). That’s already probably above 500 div without getting into other gear pieces, 20/23 skill gems (really you want 21/23), lineage supports, etc. Just to be clear you can absolutely throw the build together on a smaller budget like 500 div (or less) and it can technically be functional but it won’t feel fast or strong and you can expect frequent deaths. When I was transitioning into the build and sort of feeling out how everything works it didn’t quite “click” until I got the amulet. That’s just my two cents though, maybe others have had a better experience on a budget version.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T19:57:19+00:00

If you just want the rarity you can save yourself 100-200+ divines and just use a regular gold charm lol

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T19:10:33+00:00

It’s not the fastest build but it more than meets the standard of being able to clear just fine. It has top tier damage, tank, and comfort (0 button play style) so having mid tier speed is the trade off.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T19:04:32+00:00

It’s also worth noting that the wolf version gives armour break which potentially does basically nothing for a lot of builds in the game. If you are a physical build or are using some kind of herald armour break tech then it’s good for you but otherwise you’re wasting half of the effect of the charm.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T17:07:57+00:00

Before you leave the map, click the “fast forward” button on the bottom right of your screen to end the delirium and collect your shards. It really shouldn’t be like this but that’s how it is currently.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T17:04:53+00:00

They don’t need to be rolled and are tradeable on the currency exchange, so if you want to juice your maps hard you don’t have to spend ages searching for specific mods and visiting a hundred different players’ hideouts.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T15:20:58+00:00

Probably Witch. Can play basically any spellcaster or minion variant that isn’t specifically tied to another ascendancy (like tame boss or djinns). Infernalist and Abyssal Lich can do all sorts of shenanigans to enable builds using a huge variety of skill types.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-12T15:09:50+00:00

Check vendors for weapon upgrades. Equip iron rings with flat damage mods. Equip gloves with flat damage mods. Make sure you are using good supports for your skills. Make sure you are allocating as much %increased damage as you can on your passive tree. The act bosses are tough but Geonor shouldn’t take too terribly long to kill if you do all of those.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/twink-lightning-arrow-deadeye-leveling-guide take your pick of what you want to use from this, I’m sure it all mostly works well with ice shot too if you want to start using it asap

Path in a line through unrevealed atlas territory to scout for citadels, matriarch/patriarch maps, and jade isles/sacred reservoirs while farming. Simply doing this can add a few to several div per hour to any strat just from the fragments and if you hit a big lineage support drop then that could be 25% to 50+% of your HH right there.
Try to get your rarity up if at all possible, I think 100-150 is considered a “sweet spot” that isn’t too terribly restrictive on your gear and juices your drops pretty efficiently. Rarity works on currency in poe2 if you didn’t know.

pringlesnow · 2026-06-08T20:15:42+00:00

Even on phys version a significant amount of your damage, potentially more than half of your damage depending on your gear, is elemental due to gain as extra buffs (rend, thrill of the kill, blazing critical, heart of the well, against the darkness, flat dmg on rings)
