Stress-Free PoE w/ RIGHTEOUS INCINERATOR! Relax, SSF League Start-End w/ “Any” Items & 1-Button|3.17

Thanks, Artaniz!

Nice! I hope levelling goes well for you!

And to both of you, that shield is super cool! It doesn't have life, but converting almost all other damage, for the Chief specifically, to fire is amazing! The Scorch is wicked too. It'd be fun to try it out for sure!

Que gang rise up, This looks like it should be a very nice trade league starter. not 100% what im going to level as but probably some version of 4 linked holy flame totem and maybe molten orbs. I know this is a SSF build but i just dont find that version of Poe at all enjoyable trading is a huge part of the game for me. However i find SSF builds tend to make great league starters.

EDIT

did you see the unique shield that they just posted on reddit that adds some phys taken as fire. It does not look like it will be a very expensive unique but might be a nice little grab for survivability.

I'm interested in his answer for this as well, not just good fire conversion but scorch seems like a potent ailment too

Ya no life is a bummer but man you get a lot from converting another portion of phys to fire and some other stuff to fire considering how much we mitigate it.

This was an easy mode league starter for trade if anyone comes to read and is wondering. I basically did the first 9 acts in white gear and stuff i hastily grabbed while hopping with groups. I did stop to run dried lake to catch up xp from 29-34 and then i stopped again at Blood aqua to level from 57 ish to 62.

I was using a 4 link white chest for flame totem for most of the leveling , i swapped to RF around 54 but had to spam a flask and enduring cry to not die but it was fine.

By the time i did cruel lab and took the 10 less damage over time mastery node ( as part of the first actual damage cluster i took i got basically all the health and resistances first) i was able to keep RF up with no cute tricks.

around that time i had a unique drop that was selling for 28 C on day one so i sold it for 25 for the fast flip and then i geared myself out in 1 C rares basically anything with life and strength and a little resist and over capped myself enough for act 10 kitava hit. Im not maxed on chaos but i will take another whack at gear when i move into red maps probably until them im just casually mapping.

I have not done uber lab yet but probably will when i hit 80.

You guys using Holy Flame Totem + Flame Wall too for leveling?

I am currently lvl 30 and I'm doing like 0 damage. Everything is just a pain and takes forever.

I just used Molten Shell and Heavy Strike until lvl 44 when I could maintain RF. It was tough to level up like this. You just need to grind to around level 45 and from then it should get much easier because you get RF online.

You should be able to maintain RF from around level 45 just about. At level 54 it should be easy already, should not even need enduring cry to not lose any health with RF. Not sure why it would be like that at level 54 still.

I have struggled to level too, survivability is great but I couldn't get a good set of skills together. This isn't the builds fault, I just feel like I had awful luck with getting any decent 4 links drop and so I had to keep changing things up.

If you're on trade, I'd recommend having a look for some cheap items with regenerate X life per second, and use PoB to see if it will cover your RF sustain. I dropped a Kikazaru and then bought a synthesised amulet in the early 40s which had around 85 regen for 1c, and now I can sustain RF which helps a ton. Holy flame totem carried me most of the way, and spells benefit from + level to gems if you can find any.

This has been quite a slow leveller for me but I really think this has been my most brutal league start in terms of getting hardly any decent currency, essences or linked gear. Stick with it and hopefully it falls into place for you soon.

Also, at level 30 I guess you're at or near Siosa - you can pick up some more skills and supports and try to boost dps a bit. Maybe incinerate, or fireball for single target. Re-run a few zones to level the new gems up a bit, and maybe you'll pick up some essences or nice weapons from the league mechanic. Good luck!

That sucks, KingTen87!

Sorry, the game is against you this time. Good job hanging in there and being helpful to others at the same time!
