5 chaos 2 weeks in, but very expensive at start.

It might stay more expensive longer this league, Legion got insanely farmed in Ritual because of how lucrative High Value Targets was

That is true. But still should be obtainable.

Btw, from poedb dump, it looks like there is rly interesting alt qual for Petrified Blood

"

When taking Damage from Hits, +(0–5)% of Life loss below half Life is Prevented
+(0–60)% of Life loss prevented this way is lost over 4 seconds

With this we can jump from 40% to 53% damage redirection with level 5 enahnce. But we will also take a lot more dot damage. But it still might be worth it as it jumps from 20% reduced damage taken to 26.5.

Certainly worth experimenting with.

Oh, as we are now forced to Darkscorn anyway Divine Flesh item set is now same as regular one :d Just tree is different.

Thanks, gl in Ultimatum!

Thank you sir :)

so its toxic rain casual until u get darkskorn
then start transition to one of the build variations
then play a lot and get rich

I have 2 questions/requests :)

Im planning to do some boss carries with this and would want a build variation that is the tankiest (or second tankiest, if the damage boost is much more than defence loss)

So far I understood that id choose ether divine flesh or transcendant. Would u kindly describe in a couple of sentences what would be the differences in the build? (I understand that with divine flash u scale chaos mitigation and dmg taken converted to chaos and with transendant u stack armor?).

And second, can u roughly describe the stats in order of their importance for the build? this will help me to prioritize upgrades in order to gain bigger power spike on each upgrade iteration.

thank you!

Hmm for boss carries either Divine Flesh or Transcendence.

The difference is that Divine Flesh is a lot more well rounded, e.g its effective against all damage types (phys, ele, chaos) and also against dots.

Transcendence is only effective against ele and against dots. But it also gives you huge ass molten shell so its effective against chaos hits and phys hits as well, but only when MS is up (combined with Veteran's Awareness).

So I think it depends on what boss carries are you planning to do, but for most stuff I think Transcendence will be best mostly because of huge ass molten shell/VMS, but for specific stuff like Sirus Divine Flesh is better.

They both do approximately same damage so that part wont change.


And for stats prirotiy, I would say chaos dot multi > attack speed > sources of flat damage.

For most important single mods you should look for its +1 arrow on quiver > despair on ring > tailwind > +1 corruption on gloves > good flask belt (reduced flask charges/inc flask charges gained/flask effect etc).

Possibly also malevolence rmr on rare ammy in case Petrified Blood alt qual will end up being good and we will want to use Petrified Blood with enhance.

Hey, I got to say great build guide and adding alternatives. I just have a quick question about playstyle, I may be blind as I searched for a bit.
Any advice on how to play the build once we swap from TR, I've never used Scourge or Plague Bearer. Thanks in advance. =)

Thank you sir! Trancendance it is :)

Appreciate your help a lot, you awesome

For playstyle you can check the videos, but basically when mapping you alternate between plague bearer and SA. You shoot SA, mirage archer starts cleaaring, you charge up plague bearer, you turn on plague bearer etc etc.

And on bosses, you pop everything (e.g you pop withering step to apply wither stacks, then plague bearer, then you start shooting with SA).

Also make sure you are not shooting against walls with SA because thne there is no room for pods to spawn.

Also try to hit with both primary arrow and pods, with single arrow SA the best position is slightly away from boss so your pods explode in line where the middle of line will be boss. Also the spread of pods is dependant on your distance of cursor from your char, so try to position cursor right next to you when bossing to reduce spread.

With +1 arrow you shoot arrows in V-shape, so you just stand right next to boss and aim slightly on side of the boss so you hit boss with primary arrow and then all pods clustered around the boss. Hopefully this explanation makes sense :d (but honestly just look at some vids).
