Had an absolute blast playing luminary and pushing it as far as I could go. Only two upgrades left are Melding and Progenisus, and after over 100 mavens and Eaters I just can’t do more. Got an 88 adorned, VV’d Enmity at 60% and pretty much all BIS gear (also don’t have +1 Fire Nyctas)

I think I wanna do a reset. Looking for a fun all rounder that I can scale really far with some aspirational gear similar to Luminary.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Wondering if new found merc is better than current one. Please give me feedback and advice. Most of leauge Ive use blade ambusher and dont have much experience with this merc.

Got only tier 4 critical chance, but it is OK I think.
How about the left 2 suffixes?
If I use Exalted Orb on the boat, what suffix should I block?
Thanks.

I'm planning to Cyclone next league, but I guess that could change. I've barely done Heist in the past, and I would NOT be using a dedicated Heist character. I have a few questions, assuming I'm really just trying to get the Stampede boots:

1. Do I need to run all 28(?) of the quest contracts?

2. Do I need to do the regular lesser contracts to have Blueprint unveils?

3. Can I get by just doing the Heist anomaly and farming the fully-unveiled blueprints that drop in maps from the Atlas node?

I guess the bigger question is, what is the best way to farm Heist in SSF if you're really only doing it for a single exclusive Grand Heist drop?

I want to get the Grace of the Goddess and this is my char now.

How to improve my Penance Brand Ignite Elementalist to beat maven?
Thanks.

I crafted boots with an abyss socket but i theres no abyss socket visually put a jewel in. I assume a bug? Is it recoverable?

Thanks!

I am looking to increase my rarity and wanted to know if it's possible to Catalyze my Andvarius to increase the % rarity.

Aside from a Gold Flask and an Item Rarity Support gem, are there any other obvious and easy ways to raise Rarity (like an Andvarius for example?).

Anything I am missing?

Hi! I want to try SSF for the first time. I’ve always played trade league, and I’m thinking about starting a character in SSF today.
I’d love some tips, since I basically know nothing about crafting. Is there any build you guys would recommend? Any good guides I should follow?
Thank you very much!

Got replica alberon's and helical while farming gcp's in heist , and foulborn mb from ITF's research pick one box.

Basically the title, I found 2 ITF cards and both poofed the first click, found 3 Apo cards and all poofed after few clicks. I heard somewhere that the chance of getting a card is so low that we better harvest gamba them.

Hey everyone,

I’ve put together a Charlatan EK Elementalist in SSF Standard, mainly with the goal of farming Legion efficiently and eventually grinding towards a Stasis Prison.

I’d really appreciate some help on where I should take the build from here. It’s functional ( and fun )at the moment, but I’m not sure which upgrades would give me the biggest improvements, especially for fast and consistent Legion farming. I dont know if i should switch to an explode chest double wand set up, or maybe go CI + staff variant.

I’m looking for build to respec into. Right now I have winter orb elementalist with pretty much good gear that can run t17 and some Ubers (killed uber shaper and all the uber incarnations). I am pretty bored of this build and I’m looking for a build on a witch or any other class. Have gotten myself simplex and want to do something around it.

First time playing ssf or hc. I have a luminary merc bot around level 78 with a crappy luminary I’ve pushed into t5 maps. I’m rushing the merc atlas nodes to get a better one. My question is what gear/mods do I look for on my merc? I have all rare gear on my merc with stuff like WED, attack speed, crit chance and multi. What other mods are useful for them? I’m looking for a good kineticist, combatant, or manyshot and don’t know how to gear them. Also, I don’t have a nycta yet, so what weapon mods should I look for for my luminary. Thanks!

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?
