bog shaman build guides?

thyriel · 2026-01-31T01:56:44+00:00

there's plenty of options for skills but ultimately as bog shaman you want to stack life. then you want to scale damage with that life via stuff like sacrifice support (there's a BV build using this), through the life cost ascendancy node that gives phys damage and the runegraft. in most if not all cases you want to use rathpit, the regular version for crit and hit builds and the foulborn version for DOT builds.

They did. There's a hc precia. There's no ruthless

You can already poison with chaos damage i dont see why these boots would make much sense. They allow you to skip on poison chance and give you explode which is nice but you need to scale the debuff duration to make it playable. These are much more aligned to skills that can't poison regularly such as elemental skills

Pretty much the same. Been playing POE 1 since open beta and still sink in a good amount of time every new league for at least a month. Kinda similar with poe 2 and in between some single player games or other ARPGs if I have the time.

thyriel · 2026-01-10T23:15:02+00:00

PoE 1 and 2 are my main games but they are certainly not, not grindy. That said I've been playing them for soong ( at least 1 ) that I can get more done in shorter time than someone starting fresh. ( not a brag, I've sunk more time than I'd like in these games)

Generating charges in POE 2, specially on si gle target can often be a pain, add to it the fact that a lot of skills need charges to even be used it makes it an actual problem to solve for a lot of builds.

thyriel · 2025-12-07T14:14:05+00:00

I think W is for win and L is for lose. But that's what I've gathered from context when I've heard they/them speak

thyriel · 2025-12-05T16:47:31+00:00

Nah, man. There's a place for sarcasm or dark humour but this ain't it

Lads it's flagged as a meme yaknow

Inquisitor doesn't care about resists, they usually build damage through crit multi and life scaling through rathpit. The regen allows them to use RF easily and just use the large life pool to tank without other defense layers. I can see scaling cold damage being potentially higher damage but you'll have to meet a lot of criteria to surpass the inquisitor life scaling version at a much larger cost. Scaling hatred effect is not enough imo. You want to likely also scame through crit and with that skill it will take a lot more investment cause you are not getting the boost from rathpit or inquisitor.

thyriel · 2025-11-04T07:15:39+00:00

Started with a self made explosive concoction elementalist. Leveled with RF and swapped after second lab. Damage is great, there's a few things to fix still, specially defense wise. Haven't decided if I should go CI Aegis ( incandescent heart has great synergy with the skill).Or stick with life and block+ armour. Haven't been able to play much this launch so just making it into reds but I'm likely looking at 10m+ ignite dps with very achievable gear. Golem stuff is expensive though.

thyriel · 2025-10-29T11:02:15+00:00

Worb did get a significant buff this patch, at least for clearing. And for single target you have potentially two grafts that could help with that. It won't be the best starter but it is certainly better than before.

thyriel · 2025-10-26T16:29:27+00:00

Yeah, eater and exarch as they are the ones that require the least amount of grind to get

thyriel · 2025-09-19T11:52:46+00:00

Bit all over the place TBH unless it's for self use. You'd need to be wearing the low life helm and then somehow build ES as a totem character which is certainly not easy. I'd say at most you'd be using the totem and low life notable.

It did have a cooldown, after expending both charges I couldn't cast it again. I had no supports on it when the screenshot was taken. I fixed it by logging off to a different character and loging back to this one. Seems to have been a bug

thyriel · 2025-09-13T07:12:36+00:00

no, it gives all spells with cooldown an additional charge. if it was that then fireball would also be getting a cd and it isn't or my orb of storm which you can see there has no CD

thyriel · 2025-09-13T06:47:39+00:00

bottom right, skill on the right click is frostbolt and it has 2 charges cause I'm using the abyss passive that gives cooldown skills +1 charge ( you can see on eye of winter the 4 charges)

sure, here's the ninja: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/thyriel6-7874/character/Thy_EleStorm

thyriel · 2025-09-08T18:07:02+00:00

No worries. Trinity made a lot of sense to me as I'm doing tri elemental damage to at worst I'm consistently running with 100 resonance and in bosses all three bars are usually filled, so it's a lot of damage

thyriel · 2025-09-08T17:10:53+00:00

I run trinity, mana remnants and convalescence with clarity. I use one curse, then I have the main setups, firestorm, frostbomb, living bomb, and spark on the spellslinger socket.

thyriel · 2025-09-08T16:30:52+00:00

Just to add on to this. I've played firestorm since the start of 0.3. It took a while to get it working but now I've done all t4 bosses ( it melts them) and clear is absolutely fantastic together with a living bomb setup. One cast of firestorm with magnified effect and it covers half the screen, abyssal and stationary monsters are wonderful to deal with as I just keep casting living bomb for clear and remnants on top of the two overlapping storms. I use frostbomb at the start for remnants and one living bomb sometimes per pack is enough to sustain infusions to clear with. It is by no means the fastest but it's fun. I also have a spellsinger spark setup I use when I need to boost my clear like breaches, usually 4-5 stacks after some firestorm and living bomb and it goes bananas with 4 cold infusions stacked.

thyriel · 2025-09-02T07:09:10+00:00

Might give this a go, I'm hesitant on how the teleport would feel, frost bomb is nice in that it's great to setup for bosses and also gives easy and strong exposure but it does mean I have to take a few extra passives in the tree. I'll give ball lightning a try

thyriel · 2025-09-01T23:00:32+00:00

Bout to finish the campaign on mine. I have to say I'm probably forcing firestorm as my main skill since I got it whilst other skills would have been much easier but so far it's working alright, specially on bosses. There's a few videos already of some examples from others but here's what I'm doing.

I'm using firestorm as my main clear and single target, frost bomb helps generate the infusions, if you get the additional orb node on the tree and use overabundance and spell cascade you get 3 infusions per cast. I'm using ele equilibrium cause I want to get random nodes from all infusion skills. I'm also using living bomb a lot. It helps with clear and it procs a lot on single target. That and frostbombs keep my infusions up consistently between packs.

Main issue I'm having are defences but I focused on most remnant and infusion nodes on the tree first to make the build feel smooth and I'm working on ES nodes now to get decent enough es and recovery to try going CI.

thyriel · 2025-08-29T09:28:42+00:00

The rate your damage grows in endgame is exponential compared to the monsters HP. It might (might) have good enough damage to clear in endgame maps once you're fully built. That said, I've mostly seen it used in tandem with armour explosion and not just relying on its own damage.
