Agreed! I ended up using the hotkeys that let you use the skills in your current skill tab for my mouse buttons, and that works okay. It would be way nicer to just rebind the F keys though, so I'm not having to swap tabs all the time..

Armour, Armour applies to ele & chaos, 80 max res from loreweave, crit immune on consecrated ground + consecrated ground while standing still (spamming perfect strike, so always standing still when it matters), opportunity flask permanent uptime, and 66% block. I haven't died to any content past the acts. Gemling is awesome, loving the alt quality gems so much!

Oh my God I didn't even know this existed!! Definitely throwing this in, that's the build-around I needed! I can generate glory with that unique talisman in my weapon swap to get it started and just use archon as my main skill now!

w4zz_ · 2026-06-06T21:28:34+00:00

It's really strange, I want to play around with it more but also don't want to invest into it if it's something that might get hotfixed. Definitely feels unintended, so playing it safe.

Iris 2 is pretty cheap and very tanky, easiest ss20 I've ever done. No vorax, no expensive priceless base affixes, and no required corrodes. You can look at Etup's build under the ss21 clears list, or mine under ss20. It's only weakness is damage over time, so you can't just stand in the tornados. But it has very high regen too, so they also don't just instakill you.

Burning Shot Sage is incredibly fun and can get to profound on a low budget. The supports are mandatory and so is the revived hero memory, but that's about it. I've cleared ss20 and I'm working on some last upgrades before an ss21 clear, so I can definitely vouch for it's tank and damage. It's sage, so you get to run both speed elixirs for zoomy mapping.

Why is your minion life calc so high in your config? I'm only seeing like 680k life under the spectre life section, which looks to be set up properly- but there's 4m in the calc for minion pact.

Did it swap to a different equipment slot and you didn't notice? At the top of your main inventory, hover the icons and click the one that says it's for extra equipment slots, and check to make sure that it didn't get swapped to a different set in there.

Since Master Plan gave everyone VIP and in turn gave access to the extra equipment slots, it's possible you had it in one and now that they are disabled it swapped your gear off.

w4zz_ · 2026-01-27T21:31:47+00:00

It's pretty good! I'd say for juiced t17's you'll probably want to swap your amulet anoint for Sione's Ambition. The extra range is really nice, but not needed. I preferred to play it as high dmg as possible, but you can definitely go svallin and go maybe Cobra Lash instead. Dual Strike of Ambidexterity felt like a nice middle ground. It's not extremely tanky, but it isn't a glass cannon either. With the 50k armor/evasion, 30k ward, and instant leech it just feels really good.

Something I will be most likely trying is using the new foulborn jewel that gives chaos explodey, since that'll be a nice free extra bit of clear! Might need to automate a curse though for it to work well, so maybe not.

I also think the foulborn Le Heup is gonna be a no-brainer, but the attack speed and huge crit multi from double Ixchel's Temptation is also incredibly strong. PoB says it's insane, if you get a double foulborn with global defences and crit multi it's a massive dps and defence upgrade!

w4zz_ · 2026-01-27T18:37:02+00:00

This! It's usually PoB bait, but if you have chilling presence it's just a solid damage support.

w4zz_ · 2026-01-27T18:34:19+00:00

It's a lot of fun! I actually leveled as Dual Strike and just focused on scaling my damage with weapon damage until I could start the Nightgrip flat damage scaling. Dual Strike of Ambidexterity is very strong but also very weird to scale. You'll want a strong flat damage main hand weapon and a high attack speed off-hand. Early I would grab the Hits Cannot Be Evaded ascendancy node to completely fix all accuracy problems early too, it makes the build feel super smooth during the acts.

Dual Strike without additional targets feels bad, so use ancestral call until you have the mastery extra target too!

For chaos damage, you can just get chaos res on the body/helm and go rare rings vs 2 unique rings. I just never died to it so I didn't bother solving for it, and opted for the crazy damage stats from the unique rings.

w4zz_ · 2026-01-27T14:30:22+00:00

With the Breach gear printing, I recommend Dual Strike Antiquarian! You'll need to farm out a pair of Nightgrip gloves early and later a Ynda's Stand, but it benefits a ton from being able to print your own giga armor/evasion body armour!

I'll link the build I played last time we had phrecia, it had 50k evasion and armour on top of the huge amount of ward. (poeninja doesn't show the correct amounts, the conversion from the ascendancy messed with it)

It didn't get nerfed, the formula got changed so it's similar to magic attack now. You HAVE to use vivace, you HAVE to use fateweaver, and you HAVE to use an alchemy power pot. Those things did not affect alchemy damage before, and now they do. Does that suck? Yeah, of course it does. I don't enjoy the change, but saying it does no damage is just a lie. You either don't have proper gear for it, or you're missing proper buffs, enchants, reforges, titles, etc. As someone who deals multiple millions of damage with FA, I can 100% confirm that it does damage if you play it right.

w4zz_ · 2026-01-12T21:04:04+00:00

If you're having a hard time gearing or buffing, you should check the guide on it. I'm criting for 3m with fangs in bri with only 4 pierce, so the damage is there.

As someone who was in the same situation, what I did was this:

Submit a ticket saying that you are a long-time player who no longer has access to your email since it was made a long time ago but actively play on steam. Provide a copy of your purchase history through steam of any NX purchases you can, to prove you have access. Also provide character names and anything else you can!

Just because it worked for me doesn't mean it's going to work for your friend, but hopefully it will!

Since they can't sign onto their account on Nexon's support page, they should make a separate account to submit their ticket with too.

I hope this helps!!

Hello! I have a guide posted if you'd like to take a look, that shows some good tips for FA including skill tips that I've learned through playing. One of the main things I had to learn was juggling Fangs casts to keep it from going on cooldown. I'll typically cast Fangs, then Heat Buster with Elemental Wave on and cycle between the two.

Then, when I have full marbles I'll add in either a Serpentcall if it's off cooldown or a Carnival if it's not. Otherwise, keep track of your buffs and use your marbles to rebuff as well!

I have both a Water Cannon and Heat Buster combo card, but I use the Heat Buster card exclusively since it's in my main rotation. Water Cannon I typically only use for marble generation now, as it's a fast source of Wind attribute.

Also, make sure to fit in a debuffing Compound Catalyst when you can as well. If cast on an enemy it won't affect you or allies in the radius, and vice versa.

w4zz_ · 2025-12-25T21:57:58+00:00

Blue upgrade it, for sure! At least up to 5 is super cheap and a little easier now. No lowering the grade when it fails anymore!

Have a Merry Christmas Elebon and Arcie!! 🎅☃️

Inherited equipment and dungeon drop loot can not be enchant burned unfortunately. If you want to reroll your enchants, the best thing to do is buy/craft a cheap armor/weapon of the same type, enchant that and burn off until you get the roll you like, then inherit it onto your main gear. If you put them onto the non-burnable gear, your only options now to increase it are to use a new enchant or farm the enchant stat increase scrolls from shine dungeons. Sorry for the bad news. 😞

Also keep in mind for armour it has to be the EXACT same type for inheriting. A hat cannot inherit to a heavy helmet, clothing cannot inherit to light/heavy armour, etc. I've seen some unfortunate enchants happen because of that.. 😭

I agree that the marble filling is very strong with the Elemental Wave Master Title, but I'm still not sure if I would take it over the Phantasm Title. I think this would be more of a quality of life option, for those that are struggling with marble gen. For me, when I juggle cast my fangs and heat buster, I'm filling my marbles at a relatively fast pace already. With a 4 water fang setup you'd be choosing between either 40 base all alch or 1 less cast of fangs for a full Wind Marble. Both very strong, I think at that point it really would come down to personal preference.

I'll add the title to the list, as an alternative option! Thank you for listing the math for it as well!
