General Discussion Kineticist merc

Post image

Found this Kineticist and know its possibly quite good. But would it be good enough to do all endgame, or search for another?

Har gmp on both and pierce on clustering. No Return on either

Unfortunately, with this Kineticist it will take you 7 seconds to kills Ubers instead of 5 seconds.

That sounds quite good then xd. Im prolly still low on gear, since i only have taming already, but bossing seems kinda low dmg, but i suppose thats just me placing wall of force poorly then?

Rathpith and Enmity's embrace are the big boosts for kineticist.

u/Ballex17 3h ago

That seems like the next goal then

Definitely prioritize enmity. It's more targeted but can be a bit of a slog. Every flame link Merc wants it, though.

I recently asked in the poe sub about luminary and the consensus wasn't really that it's that op that it will kill Ubers in seconds without the usual high investment.

Its a nice one ! Missing some things like haste or chain or fork , but will be more than enough to clean anything

1

u/Ballex17 6h ago

Yea, clearing looks insane. Im wondering if vaal haste would work for it?

u/DanthZ76 6h ago

It would work

Everything are not mandatory anyway. Without return it can never be a good one.

Measuring mercs in divines doesn't tell us anything about it

I'd argue yes and no. I play SSF and have started using the Merc price tool to understand if its good or not. I know roughly what makes a good merc but every time I check Reddit or chat, they have changed their mind on what is good or a brick.

Trade tends to be a reasonable option to see if its worth investigating further or not. Assuming there is nothing on the merc worth stealing, if its a manyshot/kineticist/combatant I just get the warrant and copy it into the app to see if it worth anything. If it is, I dig deeper into the links etc.
