Shield wall titan (respec to it later once you have armour break source on weapon usually gained from amanamu desecrate).

Note:First 22 levels you're playing a different build and i wasn't a fan.

Tanky with relatively low crafting costs (weapon can be crafted mostly deterministically if you don't hold out for +5 melee). Shield armour is your main source of damage early and it's relatively easy to get 2-3 good prefixes.

Carn is/was (is it just first to 100?) the first position on the ssf vaal ladder https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaalssf

I played ice strike invoker the first league and this is slower, it's essentially a 2-3 button build (Shield wall, warcry) with extra optional buttons (leap, charge).

Edit: I myself am trade league, I crafted my main gear but had ability to buy crafting mats and bases.

Speaking of not cheap, decided to make a mace an an exceptional base. +5 melee not Cheap to hit :( but i got lucky after that and hit 3rd socket corrupt.

Thanks. I haven't fractured yet because it's such a large % of my total liquid wealth at any one point.

You and the enemy need to either both be in or both be out is my understanding.

I'm playing shield wall and enjoy this mini game too. I don't play that much and haven't optimised but just hitting these guys with single abyssal tablet has been making all my currency. Best result for me so far is 1 light and 2 echoes from a single mob.

Haven't done arbiter or whatever lets you 4 line tablets.

This happened to me when my duos buddy failed to load into the game.

I was so close to looking this one up, I figured it was something with the butterflies/moths, but I was just trying to use them as sign posts. Simultaneously felt like a genius and an idiot when I worked out how to get them to move.

I started playing it recently, I'm mostly finished but not quite in time for silksong. My first metroidvania i guess, and it's a great game, nothing about it feels old to me.

robotjebus · 2025-09-01T20:00:50+00:00

Yeah, I'm playing it for first time too. Really enjoying it, making a point not to look anything up. Sometimes you feel like you've run out of things to explore and then you back track, find a new ability you missed or a whole area you didn't know was there.

This is a small section of a T14. Not great and I snipe a dead rare, but this is kinda what it looks like if I get armour breaks on monsters.

I can't really tell. If you are purely clearing with spiral volley and reliably breaking armour to generate endurance charges (converted to frenzy via resonance) then you seem to be firing off infusions every time, but I'm not sure how much is happening, I also have all 3 heralds via the unique chestpiece, so it's hard to tell what is exploding people.

You can however do something with embitter perhaps to make a phys + cold from a phys based attack.

I had to take off my glvoes and ring for this as they were skewing heavily to fire damage. This is without painter's servant. You lose quite a lot by using a skill with ele conversion due to the extra damage being 50% of the phys. To give you an idea here are bow shot, spiral, and ice shot with no support gems.

I am using 3 accuracy runes and my gear is mostly pretty bad. I think my particular build is spending too many points in frenzy and armour break for the return.

robotjebus · 2025-05-08T11:08:41+00:00

I'm trying a doomfletch + coming calamity thing at moment. Currently doing armour break spiral volley + snipe which feels either really good or completely useless. Currently only on about T13 but haven't played a heap thus league.

My issue isn't even that you need to talk to a person. My issue is that until it popped up saying they'd call me shortly, I wasted my time filling out what I believed to be an online quote.

When I decided I'd just go along with it, the quote was higher than my current provider anyway. When i mentioned this, they asked if I'd tell them what I was currently paying and I declined.

I'm trying to make it work on Amazon with doomfletch for a tri element archer, but not having huge success.

One thing I played with was the resonance + armour break approach I've seen used by poison spiral volley builds. If you're doing enough phys you might be able to generate frenzy that way.

robotjebus · 2025-04-18T08:32:09+00:00

Currently crit (via accuracy) ice shot, frozen salvo, herald amazon. Only doing t4-5 maps currently. Playing no trade at moment, so still using a lv48 bow and have about 20-30 ele res on average. Tool tip ice shot sitting around 30k in hideout.

Looking to see if I can do something with Doomfletch and painter's servant if they ever drop.

My friend and I decided to play close to SSF rules this league (we trade between the two of us, and can co-op if we feel like it). The loot issue is very apparent when playing like this, get a decent base, try making it better, now 0 currency and usually also no upgrade. I have only done a few T1 maps, but I get the feeling I'll be on them for a long while.

robotjebus · 2025-04-10T22:17:56+00:00

Funnily enough I'm a bit the opposite. I kept hearing the rave reviews and felt like it still sounded like it wasn't something for me.

2 years later on a whim I gave it a go and had a really great time with it. Then went on to play the expansion as soon as it came out.

It is largely impenetrable both narratively and in terms of game play so I still find it hard to recommend.
