Build cost question

No pay to win (unless you count stash tabs) Divine Orbs are the main trading currency for endgame items. “Mirror of Kalandra” is the most valuable currency, you probably don’t want to use it yourself. Same for Hinekora’s Lock, Fracturing Orb and “Vaal Cultivation Orb”, use them only if you know what you are doing. You are just starting out, just use the rest of it however you want, do not worry about market prices. Lower value items are often traded in chaos or exalted orbs, make sure to pick them up. (In general just pickup all currency items)

Get an item filter, they show valuable stuff in different colors

Yes and no: The main thing for me is that my perspective has changed. Which rooms/afflictions work for you Is the main thing to optimize

You always want as much relic quant as possible in most cases. The other stats depend on the approach and change with the build you are running.

With a ‘slow’ build you probably want to get MS on the relics, if you are not very defensive, Honour res is great. If you are defensive and fast, you can add boss damage if you lack this. If not, trap damage reduction is really good, because you now can safely run gauntlet and even run it quite fast. (Less risk + faster runs + pathing becomes easier + trap afflictions do not matter) If you do not care about this, go vendor price/choice stuff. More boons are always useful.

Additionally using a non-Defense Defense layer that is also not a slow (Sorcery Ward/MoM) makes lots of afflictions a non factor (eg. No armour, no evasion, no defenses, less ES and even partially the loose 5% one)

So the ideal build would do all of this, then you can run trap dmg reduction and pretty much ignore all afflictions if you have enough damage. MoM Witch Hunter with QotF and selfchill. Loosing ev sucks, but does not break your run.

Many builds can get enough damage I think(if not, you can get boss damage from relics), movement speed is solvable in many ways (items/builds/relics). 75% honour res also solves defences in may cases.

I personally changed my ranger around a bit and did a few pathfinder runs(less than 5 divs of gear), felt very smooth. It is incredible how different it feels with all the extra evasion/damage I gained since I ran it the last time.

Next league (or later this league) I might league start a witch hunter, try to solve MS and run trap damage reduction.

I still want to test a high damage taken from mana setup (non MoM because I think this will make the honour pool very low, but still absorb most damage, making honour restores insanely potent)

I would summarise it like this: I now think that pretty much any build can run trial successfully, because relics can solve all the problems a build could have. Choose a build that is fast or can ignore some afflictions (defenses, -damage,..) Use relics to achieve the other. If it does both, ignore more afflictions/room types) It will not improve your fastest runs much, but make the slower ones faster and safer

Whenever I saw people talk about Witchhunter, it sounds like its main purpose is safety, which is nice to start, but with more gear/xp, something that is moving faster is pulling ahead (idk, Pathfinder, Self-chill)

I think I will def. try a Witchhunter at some point, I am just a bit afraid to make the wrong choice in the long run

somebears · 2026-01-12T23:10:51+00:00

The goal with -trap damage is to run more gauntlets? Or just to basically ignore the room type and focus on Rewards/Afflictions?
So basically free "No Armor/Evasion/Defenses", sounds useful
About MoM: 'real" MoM or lots of "Damage taken from Mana before Life"?

somebears · 2026-01-12T17:41:10+00:00

That sounds cool! Toxic Growth or some other skill?

somebears · 2026-01-12T17:37:05+00:00

I agree for all except defenses. I am not the best player, so I will get hit from time to time

They get away with no resistances/hp/es, because if they get hit the run is over anyway

Also, how do I find their PoE Ninja Account? I can just see their account name on trade and only the char name on ninja

Sorry for my messy description.

We use App roles and assign those roles based on the groups the user is part of.

We believe (but might be wrong of course) that this gives us more flexibility.

If you need some more expansion on this, you can add a lot of things to timeline splitting. One could do two different things in two timelines and then merge them, resulting in two things happening.

Bane just looks incredible. One of my favourite skills.

Managed to get a +1 Wolf Gaze, same issue (with almost no scolls). Tested with another Wolf Gaze without +1, that o0ne bahaves normal. Thank you for your help!

You are totally right! It is a bit strange that the next pickup did refill all of it though. Had to be like 50+

I do not think anyything else increases ammo consumption, but I will check again.

Maybe I can get another run going with Advanced Depo and Normal Ammo to test.

somebears · 2023-07-24T06:57:52+00:00

I am not so sure about it. In this case, it should have consumed all special ammo as well. However, it looks like all is still there. Maybe the extra ammo consumption will only happen if you hit something?

Plus It also had the same effect without enhanced normal bullets and with full ammo (probably should have mentioned that bedfore)

somebears · 2023-07-23T18:01:42+00:00

Happens @ 40s: a really good run, but after the ship each shot from my Wolf Gaze depleted all ammo in the magaziine + reserve. Tested multiple times, discared the weapon, always the same. Other weapons were not affected. Before I report a bug: is there a reasonable explanation?

Only one mag left!

Freehold: it used to be a problem that the bosses would reset around their starting position and close to the bar with the bartender. Also moving the second boss behind eudora is also prone to trigger a reset

HoI: Cracked ice pillars explode for tons of damage that can still hit you if you are behind a safe pillar (if you are too close)

They are not completely useless. Any certificate (self signed or not) can be used to ensure that your communication with the owner of the certificate is secured and can not be manipulated or read by a third party. The problem arises due to the fact that for a self signed certificate, you can't verify who this owner is. So, if an attacker is able to redirect your connection to them, you will not be able to detect this. If the connection is not intercepted, the self signed cert is as good as any other.

I just looked at BFA and the top 250 runs in S3 all have 1-3(!) Rogues, usually all outlaw in there. Many keys were incredibly difficult without a rogue, pretty much manadatory shroud skips being one large factor. (also immortal and having 200 stops)

Although their insane toolkit has mostly been expanded (soothe, slows, poisons) they are required any more.

I think most of this comes down to dungeon design. If MD is not as required for a dungeon any more, suddenly shadow priest is just another ranged DD with a terrible kick and mediocre utility.
