Sorry, noob question. How are these implicits even crafted? Or were these bases organically dropped 1 in a billion chance and people just mirror them (hence the names Mirror Wand and Mirror Ring)?

These implicits I believe come from beast crafting in the menagerie, on synthesized bases.

The name "mirror" just means that the item is typically best in slot for a specific build. Some of these crafts are community level projects because they can take 1000's and 1000's of divines to craft.

Once an item gets to be perfect for a specific build, it is then typically considered mirror worthy where the item can then be mirrored by other players for their builds via a mirror service.

Here is a video that shows how this wand was specifically crafted for the explicits (the implicits were done by another player as part of the project)

Well just posting my latest build :)

https://pobb.in/p7rJgbnbhObD

I refined it as much as I could. I went a bit for more damage and I am currently testing Sublime Vision. In maps I still see the icon of Curses on me although it does feel a more smooth maybe a visual bug? Not sure if it is working properly... Just testing anyway might replace it with another crit Jewel and get a couple mil more DPS.

As always any suggestions are appreciated.

Looks really good! Congrats :)



* Seeing the icon of the curses is normal and correct when playing. You are still being actively cursed when playing. But you have 100% reduced effect of curses from your flask, so all curses on you have no effect.

* For simple gem upgrades, get a 21/20 Elemental Weakness, Punishment, Frostbite, and Sigil of Power for more DPS and defense

* For your last level pick up Endurance on the tree for more defense

Thank you man for all the help and the fast replies.

I haven't played for 4 years so some things I needed to remember again and others were totally new to me but POE is really an amazing game and it has so much depth. Unfortunately I started this league late but I am enjoying the new additions very much.

I found the "sweet spot" in this build around 700k EHP and 35mil DPS with your configuration (POE ninja config. 250k EHP AND 7-8mil DPS). I think anything more than that is an overkill as I am able to kill t17's bosses within a few seconds if there are no cut scenes and farm t17's with ease. And currently I believe the tree I am using is the most efficient one(maybe debatable but still). For anything more I think you are looking at mirror tier items.

Anyways... my two cents... Thanks again.

I'm in SSFHC and was planning to play ice nova at some point, but I got the gem from my first cruel lab, so wondering if it can be used in act7+ or does it need too much setup to use for leveling or early mapping.

you can level with ice nova of frostbolts from lvl 12 if you buy the gem in trade, its just a really awkward build without kitavas thirst + archmage to automate the frostbolt casts. It's doable to manually cast frostbolt but it turns into a very involved build for a little bit of extra utility (4 link frostbolt - greater volley/GMP - returning projectiles - culling strike, makes it very easy to maximize overlaps and usually ensures you have a frostbolt in range of the target but it slows everything down by a ton).

Finally got myself a mage blood and it's amazing. Should have gotten one earlier.

Are there any upgrades I can go next?

I'm also planning to change gloves and boots.

For gloves maybe a better version of this:


Too bad the recombinator did not pick the T1 mana and chaos res, it brings down my chaos res to 48% when using it.

hello! Congrats on the mageblood!

I have reviewed your POB and here are some comments to consider:


* You should change your militant faith. The one you chose mistakenly overwrote a very important node in the build, that being Heart of Thunder. 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.

* You can upgrade a bunch of gems for more offense and defense. Get level 21/20 Eternal Blessing, Purity of Elements, Punishment, Ice Nova of Frostbolts, Spell Echo, Increased Crit Damage, More Duration, Assassins Mark, and Intensify. Get 21/0 gems for Sigil of Power, Frost Shield, Enfeeble, Elemental Weakness, and Conductivity. Put quality on Arcanist Brand

* Your Anethema ring implicit is not useful for the build since you are already using Conductivity in the brand setup. Change this implicit to anything else that helps the build.

* Find a way to get Corrupted blood immunity on one of your jewels. The suffix on the Sulphur Flask is way too valuable to spend on corrupted blood immunity when you have a Mageblood.

* I would recommend changing the Amulet anoint to Infused. Many of us found that we no longer needed Minddrinker to maintain our mana. Your mana regen is excellent in this POB so I am guessing you won't miss Minddrinker. Infused will give you a nice boost in DPS

Loving the build so far!

Working through the cluster jewel version.

Aside from updating the weapon and gem levels, anything else you think I should focus on?

Bit low on cash right now, but I can work towards them

Hello! Welcome to the thread and thank you for posting your POB.

I have reviewed it and have some comments for you to consider:


* You should change your militant faith. The one you chose mistakenly overwrote two very important nodes in the build, that being Deep Thoughts and Prodigal Perfection. 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.

* On the caster Mastery, change what you have to ".......+ 1 to maximum intensity" for a nice damage boost, as you are using the Intensify support gem

* Upgrade your Rumi's to help you cap Attack Block (and in the mean time, add quality to your current Rumi's to have better up time)

* You can improve upon your Boot implicits. The key one you want to look for is Action Speed

* As you upgrade gear, you need to focus on getting better chaos res. Your current -20% is pretty low for end game

* Add quality to Automation, More Duration, Punishment, Eternal Blessing, Assassins Mark and Arcane Cloak. Assassins Mark should be the very first you add quality to as it is critical to the build as it is how you generate power charges against single targets.
