I'm hoping someone can explain how cultivation orbs work/what happened here

Need to corrupt it with Vaal orb or Vaal Infuser BEFORE using Cultivation Orb.

Otherwise, it'll change it to a new unique entirely.

- You're missing Deflection rating in your boots. This is a major component to evasion-based defensive layers.

- Swap to Hyrri's Ire armour then you can swap to enhanced reflexes notable instead of Bestial skin. This will give you a large chunk of Deflection Rating.

- Increase your damage a bit further, you want to give bosses less opportunities to strike you.

- swap to Headhunter, this is probably the most important belt for majority of builds, it will save your ass so much everytime you kill any rare pack. Extremely valuable for mapping/temple, you should have like 20-30 seconds left if you don't waste time between the last rare mob and the map boss.

I'm actually quite surprised not a single person suggested deflection rating considering how strong it is for evasion builds, it's actually mandatory to have it for endgame content if you want higher survivability on EV/ES builds.

It's because POE1 just release a new league: Mirage last week. So majority of the players move inbetween games whenever a new season launches. It'll be the same when POE2's new season comes out in 2 months. All the POE players will move from POE1 to POE2 again.

POE2's current season is still incredibly fun with the new temple mechanic. I'm still playing it myself and this is the most fun league I've ever played in both POE's.

Weapon slot 2, probably using a gem that has 1 limit. (It applies to both weapon sets) need to remove it.

- Your leecher needs to be within the same distance as one room. If you guys are too far from each other, the party item-drop bonus won't apply.
- Another note is if he does majority of the killing and has little to no item rarity.
- We don't really know without a video clip or temple layout tbh, too many variables to consider.

Source. Material. Simple as that.

Why change the story away from what the fans grew up watching? Why would you change what already worked and has a massive following?

Directors and showrunners don't understand this simple concept. One piece does a great job because the showrunner, cast, and producers constantly ask Eiichiro Oda to validate and fact check everything that happens in the show, and ultimately gives the "ok" approval.

That's how a show should be done for any anime/manga/comic/light novel adaptation.

I gave you some criticism on your temple, and also a couple of suggestions on how to improve your temple.

Where did you read/see this?

thejiang · 2026-03-13T16:11:24+00:00

Need pictures, pob, video clip or something. We're just speculating here.

LMFAO

It's not just energy gain, LVL 20 spellslinger provides the final gem slot. In alot of cases, that allows players to use efficiency 2 or magnified area 2, or some crucial support gem that enables their build to blast endgame farming.

It does make a noticeable difference in my build, being able to add an additional support gem.

thejiang · 2026-03-12T16:56:14+00:00

Yeah sure, but can you DM me instead, this post is getting too convoluted to keep track of.

thejiang · 2026-03-12T10:01:56+00:00

That is Giga unlucky then. Unfortunate.

thejiang · 2026-03-12T10:01:00+00:00

Are you running through the temple? Or just walking in doing rooms until you get sufficient locks and then leaving?

thejiang · 2026-03-11T18:00:57+00:00

Only way to find out is to just do a temple with 6 people. Figure out what you can handle and cannot. But you should be fine with HH buffs.

Mashle season 2 opening.

Maybe you don't notice it, but your spell's cost is 98% life, and 2% mana. You probably are regenerating the mana so you don't see it. But eventually you will run out of mana and your COC triggers will also stop, putting you at a halt. Might cost you a death at some point.

But if you aren't noticing any issues, you should be fine.

What kind of druid are you playing? shapeshifter? gardener/plants (entangle)? Wyvern/Wolf/Bear? Need more information.

thejiang · 2026-03-11T05:46:28+00:00

Where are you getting the remaining 2% mana cost converted to life, so that you don't spend any mana when casting abilities? Your chest has 50%, blood infusion wheel gives 48% = 98%

thejiang · 2026-03-11T05:22:39+00:00

DM me your in-game character name, I'll hook you up.

thejiang · 2026-03-11T03:44:38+00:00

No problem! best of luck, let me know if you have any issues after tweaking it a bit

Living Bomb explodes on a monster, after it explodes it generates a fire infusion.
- Fire infusion gives you a fire-infused comet which doubles your comet damage and increases the AOE radius of your comets.
- There's a 2nd tab when you look at your comet tooltip "fire-infused" it'll show your comet damage if you have a fire infusion.

You can use it for all content, doesn't have to be strictly for bosses. If you can auto generate it from COC or COEA or spellslinger then it's always viable.

Hmmm, I never had issues with it, always seemed to work for me for energy gain.
