How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

I got a 'The Adorned' at 99% on my very first try (I don't know how to link it from my passive tree, it's on my Slayer character).
Possibly, the most expensive item I've ever had.

I'm trying out a Blood Sacrament build for the first time. I've seen some people use The Apostate instead of Kaom's Heart so I'm crafting a new build on the side to get enough ES to make it better than my current build which has:



I'm not sure if Blood Sacrament count as "hits" for the "chance for hits to ignore enemy phys res" though.

Wow. Nice one. Apostate is pretty good. Probably check your POB to see if it is worth it. The ignoring PDR should work for hit damage from blood sacrament. How did you farm out all your gear?

I've checked PoB and it's only worth it if I manage to get all red sockets in full INT gear and very high ES mods. Otherwise it's better to keep KH and armour gear. The Apostate version of the build has a much higher ceiling but it's hard to get all the components right.

Thanks! Since it's a self cast AoE I wasn't sure if it counts as hits.

Mostly Alva + Harvest + Blight + Shipments. Blightheart scarabs are hit or miss,
but when they roll currency chest they have a chance to hit big. I got 9d and 5ex once in a single blight chest. I don't do it for the profit though, it's just the mechanic that I have the most fun with (also Blighted maps are the safest way to level up, and with Blood Sacrament it's very easy to die until you get at least 23k life). Prismatic/gold oils are somewhat easy to sell for divs as well. Or at least they used to.
Most of the profit I've got was from shipments and runners (my first Hinekora Lock came from a runner).
I used Alva to double corrupt KH, which I got pretty lucky with it. Also for the skill gems. I tried to use Alva to double corrupt magic jewels but it's too costly and it rarely gives anything good. It's better to try to duplicate the temple and sell both copies for divs. I also got The Adorned from doing Alva's Temple and Uber Atziri (although I had to buy Cooperation because I didn't know it dropped from Vaal Temple bosses instead).
For Rathpith and RoP I just traded. The rest of the gear I crafted it while doing the achievements.

I looked on your POB. It is applying to Blood sacrament. It may not be doing that much. You have 300k phys hit damage against uber bosses. That might be enough to nullify most enemies armour in the game. If you are comming up against mobs with extra PDR, it might be useful, but there might also be other implicit options that could be good.
