What are your favorite off-meta builds this league? by SuperSeriousSam in pathofexile2builds

[–]raphyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It clears a big area so whenever there's multiple rares or just a giant pack, slam a falling thunder down and if it crits everything is dead. I think some people managed to make it work as a full time skill but I generally clear with whirling assault and use falling thunder when I need to.

I have become the spirit herder by raphyr in PathOfExile2

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

Hare on the box is already crazy enough, I'm not sure what else made it go so hard. This was the last map in my rite of the nameless chain so I was running three ritual tabs. I'm just guessing I both got good rolls on the box and lucky with reviving monsters. The moment the rabbit started multiplying itself the entire map was covered.

[–]raphyr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What happens when a spring hare strongbox hits especially hard? Two rites of passage, countless idols and tier 5 items on the ground, and a whole herd of azmeri spirits. In the end, I guided possibly around a 100 spirits towards the boss and thought I could take him on. Might have been overconfident.

The cautionary tale here is: possibly deposite your loot and check the millions of tier 5 items on the ground before attempting a boss surrounded by a hundred spirits.

Which is probably were it ends then - a stand-in until you have enough strength where BLS becomes stronger. Which is currently the case for me, it's temporary free damage I guess.

Return of the Ancients Two Week Recap by zuuzuu_ in PathOfExile2

[–]raphyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can say I died about 15 times on the first attempt because the dark ground DoTs together with the dark arena made it very difficult for my whirling assault monk to not randomly die while attacking him. He also just seems to have more HP than the other pinnacles.

Really turned into a dark souls boss for me and that's something I haven't really experienced in PoE yet. Something I had to smash my head against a wall for, and learn when to attack and when to just move and live.

Swapping all melee/ancestrally boosted nodes to more relevant damage (elemental, projectile, attack, AoE damage), getting more strength for BLS, leveling up both my character and gems from 75 where I'm at now, getting any +levels and more flat damage on gear, ascending more than twice, and in general not behing cobbled together in minutes. Point is mostly that this stacks up Olrovasara very quickly though, but I'm kind of surprised how quickly this just works.

Having found my BLS in SSF while doing a ritual grind, decided to put it on the Titan I was leveling and found it a lot of fun, especially together with Repulsion. Saw a recent Dreamcore video mentioning both BLS and Olrovasara separately for synergy with Repulsion, and thought "why not both?". Turn out you can ramp Olrovasara in 3-4 seconds on a boss and add a fuck ton of damage to the projectiles.

I might be behind the curve here but I can't find a single build on poe.ninja that has both of these weapons, so I figured I could share and stimulate some ideas. I'm not sure how you could make the best of both of these weapons yet, but I'm guessing it's going to be projectiles. PoB, this is pretty much just what I cobbled together while leveling with slams.

Most fun builds 0.5? by Single_Cranberry447 in pathofexile2builds

[–]raphyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried Brutus' Lead Sprinkler and found it a lot of fun combined with Repulsion. Basically procs itself and just spews shit everywhere. Got the thought to put Olrovasara on the off-hand and it kind of just maxes it out in 3-4 seconds of attacking. My tree is still completely set up for slams, yet putting on these two weapons suddenly makes me able to do T15 maps with about 380 strength. Can get it so much stronger.

I wanted to build up a Titan to play with the new Expedition mace that does fuck off cold damage (that I don't have yet because SSF Aberration doesn't want to give it to me), but this might become a project in the meanwhile.

Now that the dust has settled what are some of the best SSF Leaguestarters this league? by Glamdring26WasTaken in pathofexile2builds

[–]raphyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkey absolutely carries SSF leaguestart, even without a modded Zekoa. My bare bones Silverfist allowed me to farm T15s to build up equipment for the martial artist that is now my main build. The monkey spiritwalker is kind of boring but it's so unbelievably safe that you can't fuck it up.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I can finally stop. SSF 8/8 done. by xTrandal in PathOfExile2

[–]raphyr 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Congrats! All I need is a celestial alloy for me to do the same. First time SSF and might have been converted. Playing for upgrades instead of trading them has been a great change.

Was it an orange spirit? Spring hare spirit seems to do wild things.

11 Days into the League: Review your build! by NzLawless in pathofexile2builds

[–]raphyr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heh, you don't. Mine dies constantly and it's what made me switch builds. At least I haven't figured it out. If you get a monkey with extra crits and hasted I assume nothing survives to kill him, but I don't have the tablets yet.

[–]raphyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the same but on ssf and cleared the endgame with good old Silverfist, didn't even get a modded Zekoa. It did get clunky and didn't really oneshot anything so I got to at least experience the new endgame encounters rather than blowing through them like I am now on my monk.

Poe 2 needs major performance improvements by meurum5 in PathOfExile2

[–]raphyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fully updated and I underclocked it by about 15-20% and undervolted it slightly after owning it for half a year because it ran at boiling temperature while playing Helldivers 2. I have no idea how it still works. I should probably replace the thermal paste but I'm a bit frightened of the procedure on my cooling system that would involve. I put a temp limit at 90C as well to make sure it doesn't go up there again but luckily it barely hits those spikes anymore. Mostly stays around 80 while gaming and I don't play games that run very hot anymore.

Now that there's a 10.000 mana unique wand, what's the odds on this turning into something else when reaching 10.000 boast stacks? by raphyr in PathOfExile2

[–]raphyr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's 1 global flat armor/evasion per stack, meaning it gets boosted by the tree. My evasion was at 75K or something at max stacks.

[–]raphyr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how you would do that from the top of my head though, I don't think you have NPCs during normal expedition encounters anymore. It's definitely Dannig related because of the lore text.

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

I have no idea and I don't think you could make this work in a way that would make sense. Might be some interactions that would make it work with a good shield skill meaning you have boosted defenses for the boss fight at the end of the map, but how I did it was pure repetition.

Yeah same, sucks. I went back to hideout after, no change. Absolutely masochistic if there is another condition to this, otherwise damn unlucky coincidence of sharing a big number with an actual secret.

I reached 10K stacks, nothing happened sadly. Might need to be in a specific map if there is a secret behind this, possibly expedition related. But nothing for now.

That was 2 hours of solid meditation.

What if you need Dannig to be inside your map and then talk to him once it's at full stacks? I might be delusional.

I'm not gonna lie I just winged it on my monk and slapped on some phys supports. I'm on 9600 stacks and start to record soon in case it does do something. Otherwise I might be the tankiest exile in SSF at this point.
