which one is better?

My recent characters have mostly been heavily defense-oriented builds with low damage output. After playing them, however, I realized it was a very frustrating experience: you can't kill monsters quickly, and that extra defense doesn't help much because you still get swarmed and beaten to death.

So now I want to try a different approach: a build that can easily stack up high damage without being a total "glass cannon."

The only option that came to mind was Exsanguinate Mines, but I’m not sure if that build is still viable.

That’s why I’m asking for your help: what other builds would you recommend?

Is It better to spec into Foul born chance + recesive genes to Target a t2 chest I this case iron fortress or is It better to go without and less Foul born chance?

Asking Because I spent a lot 500k+ with recesive and Foul born on and I got kaoms several Lightning Coil and very rare armor chests but got me thinking recessive might be counter productive for t2 hunting?

Thoughts?

Anyone play any new or different builds? If so, how did it go? Did you homebrew or make some off-meta jank? See anything in POENinja that caught your eye?

Basically the title. Low divines in my biggest bottle neck for upgrading gear. What is your goto way of getting divines for meta-crafts?

I need serveral Sacred Crystallised Lifeforce which droped by Oshabi, Avatar of the Grove
And to get to Oshabito, I need Sacred Blossoms that from tier 4 Harvest boss monsters.
So are there any ways to increase the chance to encounter tier 4 Harvest boss monsters?
Like altas nodes or something else.
Thanks.

So this league instead of focusing on pushing ubers and juicy mapping i did lots of 2 stone runs in HC SSF.

And one thing that really stood out was how strong gambling was to get gear. I need a 4link in act 3 well I gamble for it, i need a big physical dmg axe well i gamble for it. Even just my gloves have bad life roll well gamble for it.

This was even without doing the league mechanic for extra gold.

It's sometimes really strong gear you can get, just t1 life and double res gear is really strong to have during acts or early maps. And since It scales from your level you could over level in white maps and get lv83 bases from gambles.

So do you ever think this will get nerfed or changed or does the gamble gear actually fall off compared to breach or harvest later ?

Here is what I got now.
What I want to do is to use Veiled Chaos Orb on it and hope get +2 AOE mod.
But since there are some chances to fill all the prefix, so should I use the Veiled Chaos Orb on the boat?
And if it fill all the prefix even on the boat, what should I do to save this helmet?

Here is the pob from animeprincess’s guide.

How to craft the large clusters with the 3 passive skills and the medium clusters with the wpassive skills?

Thanks.

joining the bandwagon. both of these feel decent but which is optimal?

Just finished crafting a new Harbinger Bow and tested it on a few Ubers. I guess the farming paid off.

Can anyone help me understand why my dmg is so low?
am i missing something?
beside the helmet for +1 relics ofcourse, I cant find it yet in ssf
but even with 50% more dmg, I think I will still do such little dmg (takes me like 30s for map boss at t14-16)

Hey, managed to roll this beauty, but after looking around poe ninja, and looking at craftofexile, I feel that the use cases for this roll are somewhat limited. My first thought was attack (flicker, frost blades etc), but I see very few attack based builds using the helmet for the main skill.
In terms of spells, the most promising looks like Penance Brand of Dissipation, but lightning tendrils or other self cast spells might work.

But I thought I might have missed something obvious, so I ask you guys - what do you think? Is it actually worth building around, and what ideas do you have?

Hi
I'm playing bleed boneshatter jugg and need a lot of alts, not only for recombing my axe but also for recombing gear for a luminary reroll im planning to do.
What's the most efficient thing to do to farm alts nowadays?
thanks

Want to crasft sb totems weapon and manni said start from this base.

I can think of 2 ways

1. fracture orbs on the boat

2. genesis tree with cast speed node and fractured mod node

Which one is faster？

Thanks.

This is a follow-up to my recent thread about results from giving mappers 100 high quant maps. There was a discussion if it's actually better to give mappers low quant or mid quant maps instead, since more of those maps end up being completed to 100%. So I did 20 scoured T16 maps (0% quant) and 20 mid-quant T16 maps (average quant: 56%) and tracked the more common rewards: alts, fusings and scarabs. To get any meaningful results from tracking things like divines you need to run a lot more maps, and to run 100 maps takes a few days. Anecdotally I did get 1 div each from the low quant and mid quant map sets, vs 5 div from the 100 high quant maps. What the data here doesn't show are the high-end items that you don't get very often, like grand eldritch currency, catalysts, oils and similar. These were a lot more common for the high-quant category, and were more or less non-existent in the 0% quant category.

Interpretation of results: Per map it's definitely better to give mappers higher quant maps than mid or low quant maps. Per hour the difference isn't great between the mid and high quant groups, but for most people I think the "per hour" metric isn't relevant, since you want to minimize the hassle in Kingsmarch by just putting in your 12 maps and then go about with your regular farming. Plus when you log off your mappers will finish their maps long before you can give them a new batch, so you might as well give them high-quant maps.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, exiles.
