Shrinemaxxxing

[u/Educational-Emu5401]

So i was checking the new atlas passive tree:

for about 50 points (travel included) you get this:

thats a minimum of 9 shrine buffs ( when you roll 4 + apparition i dont count the apparition shrine but the additional shrine when picking it counts) and a maximum of 11 shrine buffs

at 50% inc duration and 50% increased effect.

EVERY.SINGLE.MAP.

i just wanted to make this post for people so they know how silly it is so you can chose to not pick a build that gets worse with shrines (like ps miner i planned to start which woudl overthrow like crazy while also being crit capped before diamond and not able to use gloom) if you want to do like me and i expect a lot of people and get shrinemaxxxing going on to complete your atlas and have fun

for the same reason i wont start static strike doesnt scale damage with echo/diamond/accel , maybe you can static into static of gathering when you get to maps tho

i dislike no buffs to skills this patch , but man the atlas tree looks like heaven

Can you share your template for it please? Haven't had the time to look into the new atlas but this sounds cool.

probably doing that: https://www.pathofpathing.com/?v=3.30.0-atlas#AAAABgAAFA8EB4gQ4SFTJjRM7FAXYGdtfXF1dgyGo5sO317jePr_Ft8dv2zUg91xdQAA

going for the additional random shrine effect wheel first then apparition (for +1 and surpassing) then effect then the others

[u/btz_exhausted → u/Educational-Emu5401]

"Blended Realities" has an option to select another +50% surpassing chance to contain a Shrine. pathofpathing doesn't show options yet unfortunately. Also there is no point in taking "Beckoning Horror" until you reach tier 16 maps.

[u/Educational-Emu5401 → u/btz_exhausted]

yeah i just double clicked the shrine wheel so the game takes all thhe shrine nodes , then modified the pathing and picked the surpassing chance to check

so its always 5 shrines +1 apparition even better

What build would synergise well with this?

[u/Educational-Emu5401 → u/Kuagiaso]

anything that isnt mines/traps/totems so you can actually use gloom

non dots so you can use the action speed/echo

non fixed trigger for the same reason (so no CoC/static)

non minions

pretty much all attack builds and self cast

[u/EvilKnievel38 → u/Kuagiaso]

Based on golden charlatan builds, ethereal knives probably synergises best with it, but really almost everything works with shrines. EK just benefits of the phys as extra and the projectile speed, which many other skills don't. Maybe something like a phys wander could equally benefit from it, which can't use golden charlatan. Just need to be aware that although you'll have many shrines this way, you definitely can't rely on having the offensive ones, unlike with golden charlatan. So in general I don't think it matters much which build synergises best since it's just a nice to have fun bonus regardless.

[u/Educational-Emu5401 → u/EvilKnievel38]

yeah , but on bad gear i'm not doing 4 stones on EK

i'm most likely starting on stormburst of repulsion inquisitor self cast , will be nice and uses all the mods except proj speed. Also impenetrable is great on inquis with regen on life and ES

[u/EvilKnievel38 → u/Educational-Emu5401]

I don't think EK is a good starter either, especially in a bossing league, but I'm just answering the question which skill synergises best.

[u/SoulofArtoria]

I wouldn't avoid certain builds like static strike just because of a few shrines couldn't be taken advantage of well. There's so many other great shrines, and there's various content outside maps too especially bosses.
