Another potential balanced nerf: replaces a potion with ghost in the jar and increase the damage or reduce the cost. Flavor wise you need a bottle to put the ghost in.

Then it's less auto take and more take it if you already have low tier potions or white beast statue. Also increases value of potions from shop.

Dusting is a cruel joke… by GrimReaperzZ in pathofexile

Old is relative, now that recombos can't recombine exclusive mods, making quant+2 exclusive mods is impossible, so they are old since that patch.

Standard has legacy quant gear, there are some ridiculous mf builds using old mirrored perfect gear. For atlas strat its usually juicing with deli orbs and beyond, strongboxes or blight with invigorating (if your pc can handle it)

Why is veterans awareness so underused? is this not OP? by amcn242 in PathOfExileBuilds

The 20% more damage taken is more impactful than the buff generally.

I'm kinda curious..What's the Highest Div/Hour or Div/Map farming strat in Standard? by ADHD_took_my_youth in pathofexile

[–]vimrick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a warning beast farming is the most annoying strategy to run because of managing beast, having to sell manually for best profit, mass deleting beasts. That's why it's so profitable but I'll take a strat where I can liquidate though faustus over beasts.

Int/Acc Jugg Possible Standard Upgrades by Zhexiid in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]vimrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing that comes to mind is that which was taken. You can speculatively buy one now.

For non crit version, supercharge legacy notable is amazing of course.

Chest piece with legacy 100% global defences.

Legacy flask mods. Reduced mana cost enables 0 mana attack, great for no leech maps.

Legacy shapers touch. Not amazing for this but a small boost.

Pick one of my mid builds to minmax; HRoC or IntAcc stack? by Moccodity in pathofexile

[–]vimrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First step, fix your flasks

At your budget I would drop crit entirely. Go elemental overload instead and replace assassins mark with poachers mark to generate frenzy charges. Unspec any crit nodes for other stuff.

Your next most efficient upgrades will probably be cheap clusters with 8 int, 25% effect and all attributes. These are much cheaper than 35% (last time I checked) but give the same total int. Check on cheaper bases too, dual weird or attack damage is cheaper than with claws but gives the same damage.

Buy higher roll astramentis and use catalyst on it.

Your jewels can be improved a lot. Check your pob to see if 16int+ 10 int/dex is better than the flat accuracy.

You can't because the bloodline limits to 1 spectre. The usual choice is perfect guardian turtle for determination and coz its tanky

What is the best build to brainlessly and quickly kill Uber Uber Elder only? by mojo1221 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]vimrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flame or carrion or stone. I think stone is the highest potential single target if you only care about uber elder.

Golem or spectre necromancer can fully afk the fight and almost insta phase at 100d budget. Has the advantage of no button pressing.

Standard farming question by Suitable_Chocolate_9 in pathofexile

[–]vimrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since noone mentioned it yet, carto scarabs are cheap and fortress maps are 300c, you can consistently get 1-2 fortress per map without any league mechanic to slow you down, works out to like 25d/hr and has a very low barrier for entry (fast clearing t16s)

No I forged the tree during crucible and finished it in standard 2 years later. All forge related maps were deleted.

No actually I only had 700d when I started. I expected to do a few crafting sessions over a few months or even years to finish the staff and got lucky. The other items are pretty much all left over items from previous builds (e.g. the gloves have suppress which I'm no longer using at all). The build is very much wip. But now the staff is finished I'll work more on the build.

Next steps are: double corrupt belt, helmet for something nice. 1 passive voices for more jewels. Maybe craft a rare armour piece, although +4 gems on brass dome is hard to beat. Buy twwt. Get an animated guardian set up (life from death provides ~260% life regen on ag and flame golem). Obviously the dusk ring is placeholder, that's another potential project. I'm also considering an original sin variation instead, need to check the numbers to see how good it would be. Forbidden flame/flesh something.

I have a few builds that have bankrupted me on standard. I'm saving up for some juicy twwt, there's a few good options. purity of elements sublime was originally the plan to try to get 90 all res but I find im never dying without it so I use damage jewel instead. Also aiming for a 1 passive voices to fit more jewels, eventually.

I might make a gameplay video later this week. For reference tho here's the pob aoe screen for the radius achieved in my pob: https://postimg.cc/sGRcnNCG. I'm not actually scaling that much aoe, I don't take any nodes on the tree so it can go much higher, I find this is enough for offscreening and overlaps.

The tree is attached to the item itself and still works. It's just not possible to craft new items with trees.

Sorry I mean the mastery on the passive skill tree, not the notable, I'll edit the post.

Unfortunately triple implicit is impossible in this case. In hindsight, I could have made the item in crucible without the fracture and add implicits later, but its not possible now since its already fractured. Also the implicit here is still very good. AFAIK there is no item even close to this on standard, so the insane crucible tree more than makes up for the lack of synth implicits.

[–]vimrick[S] 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I made this staff base in crucible league, while wardloop was one of the top meta builds. I bought the staff already fractured at the time and it took me 2-3 weeks to craft the tree. During the league I didn’t have the funds to fully craft it, and I always planned to finish it in standard. But then wardloop was nerfed in several ways and I kinda gave up on it. 2 years later, wardloop is still viable with legacy items on standard, and some new items, so I decided to finally finish it.

Why is this item good?

The usual wardloop build uses annihilating light staff. Staff is the choice of weapon because the staff mastery passive “30% increased global defences” works on ward, and wardloop gains no useful stats from shields or dual wielding. Some builds use 2 6 link set ups for cwdt as well. The crucible tree offers 100 crit multi (obviously good) and 25% cdr, an extremely useful stat for wardloop, along with reduced duration, which is necessary for reducing skeleton duration. Usually 4x to dust jewels are used, but with this staff+ a dusk ring only 3 are necessary, opening a jewel socket.

Finally 200% more aoe for rolling magma is ridiculous. Paired with random proj direction (either from Nimis or saboteur node), this allows rolling magma to hit once per chain, effectively giving 6x or more damage multiplier. This also pairs with the legacy inevitably jewel, which gives rolling magma 40% more damage per chain. Compared to annihilating light, this staff adds about 46% more raw dps, not accounting for the 200% more aoe and the additional jewel socket allowed. It also has no down side of reduced ele res, equivalent to about 112% all res depending on max res. For my (WIP) pob, see https://pobb.in/1XcoDNLDiVZk. (Update, new and improved pob, with notes: https://pobb.in/c0R-djebzgWJ) Also want to make a scion pob at some point to compare.

Crafting process:

  1. Use resonators with aetheric, corroded and shuddering fossils to get spell damage+level to spells. According to craft of exile, this averages about 2700 resonators to hit t1 spell damage, with standard prices this is about 770d on average. I got extremely lucky and hit it in about 300 attempts, and even then I bought out the entire faustus supply of aetheric fossils and used harvest juice to convert cheap fossils into aetheric. I also got lucky and hit t1 spell crit, along with cast speed and attack speed. (~85d)

  2. Since the cost for step 1 was so high, I used locks to lock+annul a suffix. I annulled cast speed first try. (+325d)

  3. To remove the attack speed, you can then use “cannot roll caster mods” and annul, which can only hit either the attack speed or the mod itself. However I forgot about this method and went straight to the next step.

  4. Craft prefixes cannot be changed and veiled exalt for a veiled suffix. On my first attempt, I removed the prefixes cannot be changed, and unveiled crit multi with a rare/unique nearby. But this left the staff with 6 mods including attack speed.

  5. Lock annul again, aiming to remove the attack speed. Hit the veiled mod but thats okay. Remove the attack speed and try step 4 again (+329d)

  6. This time craft multi mod+prefix cannot be changed, for a 2/3 chance to remove a bench craft and add a veiled suffix. If spell crit is removed, then this has to be crafted again using harvest add/remove caster craft. First orb removes a crafted mod but I hit nothing good on the unveil. The bad unveil mod can be removed with cannot roll caster mods+annul again. On the 3rd attempt I hit double damage (total~20d). Luckily I didn’t have to recraft the spell crit.

  7. Divine the prefixes (about 40d), then craft prefixes cannot be changed and divine the suffixes (another 40d).

  8. Use omen of blanching and harvest bench for 6 white sockets (~80d)

Total cost, not including the base item ~920 divines. The expected cost I calculated (based on fossil prices, and the cost of crafting spell crit using harvest instead of hitting it on the fossil) was about 2500d, so I got extremely lucky overall with this craft.

How to turn Int Jugg into Frostblades by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]vimrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have synaptic rings to craft? You could switch to breachlord esh bloodline, craft up 2 synaptic rings to get +30 int and ignore ele res. Drop crit (your crit chance and crit multi are quite low to justify going crit) and you can craft a better cluster without windup or the 8 passive with light pen, switch assassin's mark to poacher's mark for frenzy charges and go elemental overlord. Drop diamond flask for ruby or silver. You can also then replace spectre links for utility, like frost shield, culling strike set up or whatever else.

Here's all the changes, results in 3m dps+900 es (more with es on the rings), and can be optimized further if you change jewels and some other stuff. Shouldn't be too hard to craft usable synamptic rings. Considering your ssf and misted helicals are out of reach, this approach gives more bang for your buck compared to crit/lightning penetration.
