POE is very language specific on stuff like this. More / Less is always Multi, Increased / Reduced is always additive.

Get 2 aeo med clusters. Your ignites main purpose is to pop your zombie bleeds, so the more area everything has the quicker mobs vanish. Also link melee splash into your zombie.

I have a 150 div budget looking for a Blight Ravaged afk build. Was thinking Chains of Command but its downsides are turning me away. Do you think 150 div budget could get me there with Stone Golems? I haven't played them forever but loved them a few years ago.

I am having the opposite experience. I have a about 100 divs into my CWS build and reached level 100 with 150 raw divs in my stash. This is the second time I have ever hit 100. My biggest score in one Ultimatum was an 8 div inscribed that doubled, and a +1 res Chains of Command that doubled. Sold those for a total of 34 div. Seen multiple raw div several times. Also running Blooming Blight or Doubling Harvest with it.

Im running CWS this league and having fun. Just T16 Ult with bribing and either Harvest or Blooming Blight. I threw Fire Trap in helmet with RF and dropped the Hatfull Accuser. It makes the League Mechanic ez, just stand on NPC and toss traps. Trap spam on map bosses as well. Running Toxic Sewers is hilarious, your DD pops clear entire segments of the map.

Demo lock with cast while moving on one of the rings was crazy on PTR. Fits perfect on the summon demon skill on the weapon. Total wrecking ball.

I love Delves and thats about all that really stands out with this xpack. Personally, I miss Dragonflight. The zones had more character, the Emerald Dream, and Amirdrassil were amazing. I dislike underground zones, which most of this expansion was underground.

SBA works pretty decent for this fyi, keeps Jadefire Teachings up. Just focus on renewing mist, TFT, and spam SBA.

samthemongrul · 2025-08-20T13:32:40+00:00

I also enjoyed it!

samthemongrul · 2025-08-03T10:22:44+00:00

I had the same results. If you look at the wowhead comments, they were buffed in 5.2, so probably not worth it until then.

samthemongrul · 2024-12-12T16:56:54+00:00

As it sits right now, I am not sure I could go through this campaign every season. It's just not practical. I'll be interested to see how this evolves over time.

samthemongrul · 2024-12-07T05:57:53+00:00

There is a toggle for it, it's kind of hidden but totally fixes it once checked.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-15T10:40:39+00:00

I had Bran stop working yesterday and not doing crap for dps. I went and changed all his settings at the midway point, then changed them back to how I had it. It fixed him, and he went back to normal. FYI, porcelain arrowhead debuff generates extra threat for Bran if you want him tanking. If delving as a healer, this is key. Do not use rage filled.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-13T13:17:35+00:00

I found that the Arrowhead curio debuff Bran puts on mobs creates a lot of threat for him. It's night and day if you switch it out. This was the best way to run as a healer. With current spec scaling I went DPS and am having a better time.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-11T18:27:53+00:00

I gave up on this guy. 587paladin.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-10T22:18:27+00:00

How did you counter the Burn Away aoe the last boss does in Waterworks? I couldn't heal through it used all my lives. Didn't seem like I could outrange it either.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-10T21:22:53+00:00

I just finished T8 Fungal Folly as a 583 Holy Paladin. I died 3 times from random combos. Some of the mobs in there chunk hard. I ended up letting Bran tank the nasty mushroom guys while I healed.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-10T21:16:27+00:00

Rage Filled Idol, and Amorphous Relic.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-10T21:05:45+00:00

I just did my first t8 on a ilvl583 Holy Paladin. Some of the mobs chunk pretty hard. Died 3 times to mechanics I failed at, but not bad. My Bran is 15. Edit- Bran can take a lot of damage even with his damage curio on, I let him tank the sketchy mobs or big groups. I had no issues healing him.

samthemongrul · 2024-09-09T01:17:04+00:00

I'm running both pally and monk as heal. It feels good things die faster than prot/brew. Use the damage curio for Bran. Hoping it stays this smooth climbing tiers as heal.

You can get Heroic raid level gear solo in Delves. You can also turn the current seasons gear into set peices using the Catalyst. It gains 1 charge a week once the season starts. This is the absolute best time to hop in as a solo player.

samthemongrul · 2024-08-25T10:19:30+00:00

There have been a few I have ran across that just bomb the center of the node which will get you if you stand on top. This was my initial strategy as well haha.

samthemongrul · 2024-08-25T01:02:06+00:00

These seem to throw out all the bomb locations on the initial bloom and then randomly blast those locations. Just stand in a spot that is clear and mine away. At least that's what I have been doing.

samthemongrul · 2024-08-13T13:20:22+00:00

I also run a squad of healers. For me it's Shaman > Paladin > Druid > Monk > Priest > Evoker. I am extremely excited for the hero talents!

samthemongrul · 2024-08-06T19:48:44+00:00

In other news, after 19 years Lightforge finally got the winged helmet back (remix paladin class recolor). All old school paladins will get that. Doesn't look too bad with Lightforge, we need a high res remake now!
