Hey guys!
Im scratching my head right now, im pretty sure i followed the guide very well now, Tattoos, correct timeles jewel, but somehow my POB shows my block is at 78 i dont know why is that. can someone help me with my POB? i jumped into the configuration tab of the build with the gems provided in first page and copy exactly all configs excet haunted by tormented spirits which i dont have Also, i saw many POBs in several pages of this post and some of them have chaos res in only one item and they have chaos res almost capped but mine is at -10%?? I dont know what else to do, yes i need to buy a better ring saving for it but my belt has a good chaos res i dont understand why im still negative If someone can help me figure out what im doing extremely wrong for my block at 78 and chaos res negative i would be very grateful POB: https://pobb.in/jn1-T4aY6T5h Last edited by Krakatomia on Oct 3, 2024, 7:51:53 PM

" hello! I have looked over your POB and have some comments for you * To achieve block cap, in your POB you need to enable the Rumi's Concocation Flask. When you do that, your block will show as fully capped 88/88 (see image below from your POB where all I did was activate the flask.  * You did not specify which POB you wish to compare for chaos res so I can only guess. Some of us are using Purity of Elements which has an associated Watcher's Eye mod on it that can give a lot of chaos res. In general though, you are going to want to get chaos res on as many of your rares as possible. In your POB you have no chaos res on either the ring, boots or gloves. Look to get some chaos res on any of those items and also you need to fix your elemental resistances as both cold and lightning are under the cap. When looking to buy gear at your stage, search for life(or ES), mana, and then 3 resistances (elemental and chaos). If you do that on enough rare pieces of gear you should cap your resistances. If you find you are a little short, you can always cover what you are missing on a jewel. |

Hi, thanks for this in-depth guide, this is my first league and a month in to playing PoE. Like many, i was following ziz's guide but wanted to take it up a notch. And this build has really done that for me. Can I ask please if you could help me in tweaking it? i have 0 ES and HP regen and I don't know how to get it looking at your build. My gloves atm are killing my DEX, but im in the process of trying to fix that.
Cant match your DPS by a long shot but it's much higher (in theory) than my previous build. https://pobb.in/04pgHxMU8h9t Many thanks. | |
" hello. I have reviewed your POB and have some comments for you: * You have to change your militant faith. The one you chose mistakenly overwrote four very important nodes in the build, that being Mystic Bulwark, Deep Thoughts, Infused and Prodigal Projection. Please see the build guides FAQ section labeled "Timeless jewels are confusing" for details on how to choose the Militant Faith so that you do not over write any of our important nodes. Fixing this is going to make a large difference in how your build feels. * Your ES and life recovery is fine. The build does not employ life regen and the ES regen just looks funky in your POB because you have Frost Shield active. Most of our ES and life recovery comes from leech which we get from Glove Implicit, Light Eater (tree) and Instant leech mastery on the tree, which you have correctly allocated. * You do not have the recommended Light of Meaning jewel socketed. The one you have is not bad per say but we are all using the Lightning damage one. * You are at the point in the build where you should be swapping to the Large cluster set up. See the build guide for many more details. This will provide you a nice boost. * There is no need to level up Greater Multiple Projectiles as it does not benefit the build and only causes the need for Dexterity stats to increase. You can delevel this to level 6 to help you save Dexterity requirements. * One of your implcits on the glove is not helping you. In POE, there is a core difference between attacks (example: swinging an axe) and casting spells (which we do in this build exclusively). Since we are not an attack build, the Increased Crit Strike Chance for Attacks is wasted. Change this to "Chance to Unnerve on hit" for a nice DPS boost. * You have under leveled gems in Assassins Mark and Enfeeble. You also do not have quality on any gems. Quality on the gems will add DPS and layers of defense to the build. Check the build guide to see which gems benefit from quality and which don't. * Using the Brand setup in the shield does not make any sense. The shield will only proc Elemental skills on block and Arcanist Brand is not an elemental skill. In fact your entire setup of the skills in the weapon and the shield do not make a lot of sense. I would highly recommend to follow what the build guide suggests. You want the the shield to proc 3 different elemental skills when you block and then you want to self cast arcanist brand once to cast all your non helmet curses on a single target. * You have not allocated the tattoo's around the Red Nightmare jewel. Please see the build guide section labeled Jewel Interaction Red Nightmare for more information. I would recommend fixing all of these issues, as the build will feel significantly better when you do, and then come back for more questions. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Oct 4, 2024, 5:57:55 AM

" Here I am again. :) This is my latest POB: https://pobb.in/UMCUuJyYmRR4 I have changed to the version that doesn't require Rumi now and it feels much much better. However a few things I need clarification are. 1. My Current block is 88/86 that last 2% on spell block is really hard to find and I don't want to use Impossible escape yet. Maybe after a few levels. My jewel that has 2% spell block even if I use one with 3% it still remains at 86% no clue whats up with that. 2. Unfortunately I cannot use corrupt on Amulet because well I miss exactly 22 int / 22 dex. if I remove it. Any way we can get those? 3. Is there anything else to improve? Thanks! |

" 1) Just stay with 88/86 for the time being until you get Impossible Escape. Impossible Escape is very powerful because it will help you not only reach block cap, it will help you reach crit cap as well which is a very nice defensive layer. Since lucky is a mathematical formula, it is not always a linear add 1% and see 1% type of thing because of rounding issues. Before you get to Impossible Escape, if you want you can add to your Spell Block on a jewel (as you know) as well as getting a better rolled Shield. 2) Part of the trade off of using Badge of the Brotherhood over Atziri's Foible is you lose the Reduced Attributes effect. If you want to remove the implicit you have on Badge, you could reduce your GMP down to level 1. This will leave you only 5 Dex short which you can get on the small node of the large cluster. The int will be more tricky as you would have to give up some affixes on your jewels to reach your requirement 3) For improvements you still have many of your gems to improve. Improve all of them to 21/20 or 21/0 where appropriate. Make sure you get quality on punishment in the short term as you are missing an important defensive layer with out it. Also, I would recommend changing your second doryani's lesson node on the second large cluster. We reach life leech cap with only one Doryani's Lesson node. I would replace this with maybe Overshock to help replace the Mastery you lost from Heart of Thunder Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Oct 4, 2024, 1:23:52 PM

Will do that. But I have another question. I check cluster Jewels with over shock and it is always on the other side of the cluster not in the position of were doryani used to be... Not sure if I am missing something here.

Hello hello!
Got this build a bit ago from someone who quit the league and it's been the smoothest build i've played yet! I am however wondering if there are any ways i can improve this build outside of levels and getting to 88 spell block chance which i can do using a jewel once i reach level 100. My damage's been really good and survivabilty for the most part too, main issues i'm having is sustaining mana when i'm getting hit alot due to MoM and still dying in t17s here and there due to some hits inevitably getting past my block causing me to die. Any help would be appreciated! pob: https://pobb.in/8D_sjp1Rn2U2 | |
" Man once again thanks a lot, you have been of extreme help! I'm already taking your precious advice, it's gonna be a pain in the ass to start buying boots gloves and ring again hahaha but it's worth it to level my resistances and also to boost chaos res, I prefer that than switching jewels because I can break something instead of helping 😭. I'm gonna buy the Watcher's with purity of elements though and see how it goes, I don't know if doing that will break something but will see. Thanks for the amazing help! Looking forward to have a good performance and soon be able to do t17 |

" You can look for Overshock with a node different from Scintillating idea if you prefer. Scintillating Idea is just a nice to have, it is not a build requirement. |
