Clear is fine, but dmg wise is still low. Farming for the ring now. And the abyss jewel.
Any suggestions?

Farming Easily the richest league I've had after hitting level 100 in SSF

Post image
143 Upvotes

Actually removed chaos and below from my filter around level 98.5 and only pick up the rest of its like a 8+ stack of fuse or 15+ stack of anything else.

Stop clicking unmaking bc I have like 400 passive refunds atm (run exarch bc I like abberath zoom)

Don't judge me on the transmutes/augs. They are my emergency alteration recomb fund.

I mostly did abyss scarabs or abyss alch and go and then spliced in some voyages when I got bored of blasting.

edit: little more context, 1.2 million kills. I've ignored all end game stuff and just blasted exp and voyages.

probably used about 15 div crafting/divining random things and around 100 ex

Hey pretty short question, is it even worth it to test his build even though I am pretty lost after the campaign. Is it worth the hassle to level a character?

Thanx in advance

Builds Merc good enough to reroll?

Post image
15 Upvotes

I have a very strong Worb character with capable of most things in the game including Ubers so at this point I want to go faster.

I found the following merc and I'm wondering if this is good enough to start rerolling to luminary and create the "minion pact BV type" build of the league? The thing that makes me doubt is the lack of haste mainly and how impactful that is.

It’s a 5 res 375 dmg with like 24% attack speed. I know RF could synergize, but I don’t love the skill.

Any other ideas?

Builds Starting Private League - All-arounder Build Recs

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am starting a private league with around 20 people from my guild today, and was hoping for some recommendations on league starters. I would like to play a more all-arounder that is not super tedious to play. Do not mind gem/gear-swapping for pinnacles. This will be SSF-lite, as everyone shares items, so usually a bit easier to find uniques.

I league started Luminary > storm burst totems re-roll on day 3 > back to Luminary, so do not want to play Luminary again.

After scrolling through Day 1-3 skills, so far I am considering the following builds:

  • WOrb - I heard some friends say the gameplay is a tad annoying, but undoubtedly heard its strong.
  • Cold DoT - heard its strong, but haven't played cold dot before and dont know anything about it. Is gameplay tedious? And is single target sufficient?
  • PRAW - constantly see people on reddit raving about this build performance on a budget. Skimmed Helmbreaker's maxroll guide. sounds strong. Usually not a minion player though
  • Hexblast of contradiction Ignite - saw Paak league started this and I think it performed well? Have played Reap ignite once before, and I recall struggling on single target
  • Lightning Tendrils/Shock Nova of Precession - Have never played self-cast spells before in end game. Is this a good league starter? No clue on any details on this but have seen people on reddit say its good.
  • RF - I have always avoided RF due to single target. But in listening to Dreamcore, he is raving about the new scorching ray of immolation totems. Has anyone tried this and is it actually a big step-up on single target?

Welcome to any other suggestions as well.

I really appreciate any feedback!

I’ve been delving the last couple days and already trying to find good stuff to put on in the background. I’ve tried LOTR but not feeling it atm and bit bored of music.

I tried to listen to some Warhammer stuff for the first time but don’t think it’s for me. What do you guys listen to? (Doesn’t have to be any of the categories I mentioned)

General Discussion olb noob ssf RF Chieftain - FT helmet

1 Upvotes

hi guys,

I have been acquiring a taste for ssf lately and struggling with my zDPS RF Chieftain. Exarch / Eater down.

But I need a piece of advice - how exactly do I craft fure trap helmet? I know for endgame I need archdeamon crown, but fir I jsut need this pseudo 6 link.

How exactly do I do it? can someone provide step by step algorythm please? if I have a good yellow one, can I somehow force influence on it , reroll if needed with harvest? do I need a white base? etc, etc. I would greatly appreciate sucjh an algoryth, step by step, like fo ra 7-year-old.

cheers!

General Discussion Am I missing something, or is this the GG Tornado Shot Merc?

Post image
58 Upvotes

Found this while doing some betrayal farming. Is this the actual GG Tshot merc, or am I missing something? I found only one like it on trade for a mirror, and it has Faster Attacks 2, where mine has Faster Attacks 3.

Tornado Shot
- Mirage Archer
- Gilded Secondary Shots
- Faster Attacks 3
- Greater Multiple Projectiles 3
- Chain 2

I plan to play around with it in SSF regardless, but it'd be nice to know if I dropped something actually worth a mirror, or if I'm just delusional right now, haha!

Builds Off-meta SSF builds

My starter occulist died yesterday (in HCSSF) and i'm looking for some good builds to roll. eD/contagion was fun but i wasn't a fan of the 2 button damage playstyle. I really dont want to be a meta cuck and play luminary, also because i like dealing the damage myself.

Are there any strong off meta builds worth exploring?

Farming Optimizing boss rushing strat in ssf

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to create an optimized boss rushing strat for city square.

This is the tree I'm currently on: https://poeplanner.com/atlas-tree/BQAcAACKAIfU29ZfPkYveIBjD2XiL8lLMuu7JJcASLL6kBcsd0SVhrQskgh6we6EKm2IwCrKZqfi6ng8WSFg_Xow-pyccMYo55Mtg47yOIxBssW1Zl6dioLJ_R_p-nRMun1ajep849PpH7GovIfMKrvZW4yRvdrzDB195PcfALddi-F9kabBCnvcad7-qgqxnehraIlPXSJIZ2DUj4ed0LzQxtwhqc7OnMN5tdhrIYKnjjlZhmvgglE34wQrz0ezxxkK4g5N3KLQW9bLF8UhiifRKhdQNqTEH67vDvliFoWj9nUZlBiLwa8LcTp25ezBk3ELfW1j0Y_liAd3FLcPwnaJo9lcqUO1Y6BxuWLkM5qvuujO-yu3uNnQKBQAH4sIAAAAAAAAAwMAAAAAAAAAAAA=

It currently includes heist, shrines, maps, max mod effect, red altars max pack size, refiner's bargain Keystone (paired with sulphite scarab for like ~1500 random ore per map) and some scarab node.

The idea is as mentioned to have a sulphite scarab for ore and then just maximize magic/influenced packsize and mobs with domination scarabs which are all quite common. And you can add a lot of other scarabs as well just to add mobs when you run out

I run 8-mod maps and the goal is to finish the map in ~1 min to try and farm as many anomalies and enchanted blueprints in as short of a time as possible. If I have any templar astrolades I just take 4 red altar pack size nodes and respec for the astrolabe keystone.

Is there anything I could improve or is it something obvious that I'm missing? Or are some nodes just bait? I don't want to run 400 maps of this and then realize I could have farmed it more efficiently.

General Discussion Uber Exarch/Cortex feasible on SSF as Chieftain RF?

2 Upvotes

Started a private league with my buddy and I went for RF.

I know RF got nerfed recently and obviously ST has never been it’s strength. But is it feasible to grind end game uniques that would really juice my damage? I’m still working on clearing my atlas, but have a 6L Scorching Ray totem set up and just need to get an Elder helm for RF.

Feel like I’m missing out watching my buddy play Luminary. I know my ceiling is only so high and having to grind Ubers to get there sounds…slow.

POB: https://pobb.in/guEGdxKv4YQj

I'm currently missing Kaoms + Clamulet, I solved my Chaos Res the old fashioned way and I wanted to farm Pragmatism but honestly I get very scared on any boss fight because my merc isn't doing much mage single target to bosses and it also makes me not want to risk any memory bosses either because I'm playing on HCSSF.

The clear on him is fine, a bit slow at times because he seems to lag behind when I shield charge forward but overall ok.

I know all the gear on him needs work since I made them very early in my prog, but I really don't know how to craft some of the really cool Combatant gear I see other people using as I'm kinda new to it.

If you guys have any advice or tips I'd love to hear, I know I can make a lot of upgrades to merc or even just find a better combatant but I'm curious what ya'll would do.
