Hi, thx for all those unsane updates! I have a question.

How is Sldritch battery in terms of survival? I mean, being surrounded or degen to death if you can't use flame dash away, or convocation instantly for reinforcements, etc. How the crab build manage this? Im a bit scared to buy the items because of this

Thanks


PS: also I discovered in the crab section, you put the skitterbots gem both in gloves and helmet. Looking at poebin, it seems that the correct gem in gloves would be Tempest Shield.

Hi Kay and everyone,

Did anyone notice poedb has changed FAS's base crit chance from 0% to 5%?
This is a huge change. I have no idea when they updated it but I'm pretty sure the last time I checked (one day before league) it is still 0.

Is this an intended change? Does it mean we can use zealotry now?

Thanks

We typically don't build ES. ES from int gear is enough but don't invest too heavily on them. CI occulists & low life tricksters need es gear far more than we do and we don't want to compete with them.

My ritual character is currently sitting around with 5k life and 500 es. My goal is 8k life.

Diadem is simply a transition gear. It's kind of awkward: Below diadem we have +2/+3 minion helms for support minions (can't link spectres in that). Above diadem there's the 6 link god-tier helm and that's basically it. There isn't much choice. I am waiting for diadem price to fall and probably gonna wear it until I got the 6 link helm.

Consider battery as a side effect. In my case it removes 500 es from my ehp pool and gives me 500 mana to use. It's simple as that.

Oh, but then you dont lose ES when being damaged, it goes straigth to life? Cool, I though you would be mana burned, didnt read properly how it works. Thanks!

I think im doing something wrong. Maybe i should swap into pure specters, but i dont know what's better for bossing


Swap your Arg brand or whatever EE proc spell is to frost bomb. Get Avatar of fire (it's like 1 point) so your frost bomb deals fire dmg.

Then frost bomb the shaper :) U r welcome.

Doesn't work with faster bosses though (like hunter) cuz frost bomb is super slow. Bosses dashes out before it procs EE. But the -75% life regen applies the instant you place the bomb.

Thank you but i already swapped into Carrion Golems :D

Mapping and bossing is much much better. Already killed Sirus A9 and Maven

Have Y'all seen the new spectre? its broken atm but apparently it could be big, its called flickershade and you get it from phantasm desecrate...


The damage seems really weak though.

300% life mod is OK, but 100% damage mod is low. There's no extra scaling on the earthquake too.



Flickershade in my Pure spectre build

Crabbie in same build with same gear and gems

Hi Kay, I wonder if their multislash would shotgun the enemy which would make their damage seem low initially?
Are the contract random drops you find in Acts/maps random as to which area the contract is for? So far out of a dozen or so contracts found 0 repository or tunnels :-( I'm beginningto wonder if they are [area] level-gated or something?

It's just random, but you can also buy contacts in rogue harbour!

Go to the left side and talk to Whakano. He sells contracts and refresh his store every time you level up. Just keep checking for repository or tunnels.
