I really don't know how to survive physical damage bosses. I kept getting one shotted by tier 15+ bosses.

As far as I can tell there just isn't a way to do so. I think getting a Quartz flask into the lineup might help but I have not tried it yet myself. I kind of run in two different modes:

Fast mapping mode - dying is okay but not ideal - only avoid elemental weakness, vulnerability, and no regen map modes. Having played the game enough I have a pretty good idea of which map bosses are likely to one shot and always place a portal before fighting.

Get another level mode - dying is not okay - avoid all of that as well a whole bunch of others, including but not limited to, -resist, add projectiles, crit mods, less recovery, less block, etc. I also skip a lot of bosses when doing this and am ready to log off if the fight isn't going well which to me means the boss isn't dying quickly. Also watch out for sextant mods during this mode, the physical mobs one and instant flask recovery are two that I avoid but mostly I would just not run with sextants.

With this build you just can't care too much about dying during a good portion of play. I am at level 95 and sitting just shy of 200 deaths.

Hi Enki, i just tried this build as first time played this game.

I have to say thank you so much that this guide made me understand as newbie players and impressed gameplay.

However, i would like to ask about syndicate from Jun, Veiled master of this build. Which one is good to do interrogate or bargain?

If you have a time to share from this one it would be very thankful.

Managing the Syndicate isn't really different for each build.
There are loads of guides and tactics out there to help you manage your syndicate, but I usually focus on:
- lvl 3 Hillock in Transportation/Fortification for 28% quality on weapons or armor
- lvl 3 It that Fled in Research to change Chaylula's Breachstone to a pure version (easy 1 ex in most leagues)
- lvl 3 Leo in Research for the free exalt slam (though less useful now that Harvest crafting is back in the game)
- lvl 3 Tora in Research to gain 200m XP on a gem (useful for Enlighten/Empower)
- lvl 3 Vorici in Research to get some white sockets on 6-link (either to sell with higher price, or to easily swap gems)

Other than that I usually try to get as many lvl 3's as possible in Intervention, to get gilded scarab drops.

I have what are probably really stupid questions. Been playing the build since league start, was doing amazing until around T9 maps... even had my Tabula until that point. I am at 5L on my cloak of defiance still, unfortunately, but I'm now wearing it. I also bought the Omeyocan boots and 30/30 gloves. SO much better now! Can finally do higher maps! My question is... I can't tell if the boots are "working" lol.

With our mana regen, should we not be noticing mana going down because of the boots? Because my mana does not go down. Also, should the Onslaught from the boots show up as a buff at the top, or is it just always there? I've switched out my Silver Flask for a Sulphur Flask, although I'm not sure which I should actually use in that slot in place of the Silver.

Also still waiting to get an actual useful enchant on my Crown of the Inward Eye.

The boots are definitely working.


"Lose 7% of mana per second" is the mod in question--you could call it a debuff. You can essentially cancel out the effects with enough positive mana sustain via base mana regeneration rate, % increased mana regeneration rate, and % increased mana recovery rate. With enough investment into mana sustain, that 7% penalty ends up just being a little drag on our mana recovery.

Unlike when you pop a silver flask, the Onslaught buff from Omeyocan is not displayed for you, but you definitely are still getting 20% increased movement speed and 20% increased cast speed. Compare them in your hideout to any other pair of 30% movement speed boots and you'll notice a difference in how long it takes to run from A to B.

The extra flask slot they free up is amazing. Personally, I use a quartz flask to augment the dodge chance:

But there are other options, too. Here are a few:

I swapped it out for a Quartz Flask too; with Omeyocan, Quartz Flask and the situational buff from Lunaris I can get up to 35% attack and spell dodge.
For a build that is not taking Acrobat/Phase Acrobatics that ain't too bad.

If only the cost for pathing to Acrobat/Phase Acrobatics wasn't so steep; these keystones fit exactly right in our build...

On the Quartz flask I opt for more charges personally though.
I find myself playing piano in a rapid tempo and then the longer duration is wasted anyway.


Once I went for the Agnostic, I also swapped out my health flask for:

15% more damage and a leech ain't too bad for such a cheap flask.

Bismuth could be nice, but can't really be bothered to reroll my resistances until fire and cold are exactly the same.

I'm still rolling for a Disorienting Display/Scintillating Idea/Supercharge large cluster, so Bottled Faith would increase my critical strike chance and decrease the value of Supercharge.

Do you prefer Rumi's over the following flask?

I think the Granite flask of Iron Skin is way better to smooth out damage instead of blocking everything or nothing.
The Agnostic synergizes better with a smooth damage intake and it's the big damage spikes that usually screw us over.

@BuckFutter9

I noticed you made the switch to the old Necro setup.
Any feedback yet? Better/worse in dps/defences?

Hello! New to PoE so i hope this isnt a stupid question, i managed to get two wands with "trigger socketed spell" i looked for the first but the second just happened to have everything i need + that mod.

i was wondering if you can run a double "trigger socket spell" build, and if so what would you run in that second set!

Multiple instances of the same skill share a cooldown, so this wouldn't work.
You could however run trigger on a 6-link weapon, but there aren't really that much spells that are useful to trigger and justify using sockets that we need for golems/aura's/...
