Totembringer: Campaign to endgame - Huge AOE & 430K+ Boss DPS - (2H + Shield | 2H + 2h)

"
Hello, what do you annoint on your amulet?


Initiative, Lay Siege, Acceleration are solid ones depending on your build.
"

What supports?
You need accuracy and a lot of attack speed, mostly on passive tree, jewels and gloves.
Also quality on gem.

Thank you, I thought just only need up melee lever.


You don't need Accuracy if you get resolute technique.

Only need accuracy if you're trying to go for a Crit build, which I've looked into and I don't think its worth it. We would spend _A LOT_ of nodes to get even 290% crit, which amounts to only 14% crit chance on slam because the base crit chance is only 5%. The POE2 passive tree and limited modifiers on items (you can't even get crit chance on rings) makes a totem (2h mace with 10% base crit might be viable..) based crit build seem out of reach for now.

I catch Every mace that i see trying to get a decent one to sell/use, but for me is quite impposible getting the +lvl melee, so my question is, anyones knows if this suffix its only possible when you put atleast a regal on the item(rare)?

If not, can anyone link me or tell where can i find the answer?

Currently at lvl 84, need to improve a bit gear because T12+ makes me die pretty quickly if im not paying close attention where i click :)

I've been playing SSF and struggle with the same thing; I have two stash tabs accumulating magic and rare maces that I keep reforging and it seems like the +Melee suffix is just weighed very low.

It definitely doesn't require a rare, though. It's a suffix, so be sure to aug prefix-only blues.

I think I've seen +Melee show up 5-6 times out of several hundred attempts. Unfortunately, each of those has always been +1 or +2, so I'm still rocking the +3 I bought from one of the Expedition merchants.

This setup is fun to play SSF, but it's surprisingly gear-dependent; no Hymn early on hurts damage badly and makes campaign bossing pretty miserable, accumulating enough balanced resistance gear to give up a shield is very hard, and trying to self-find high +melee, low-str two-handers to dual wield while ALSO maintaining the stats for the rest of your hodge-podge gear is pretty much impossible.

I'm still enjoying T9-12 mapping at about the same place as you (18+5 shockwave), but I can't imagine I'd want to try to SSF this into endgame content -- there's just waaaay too much gear RNG alignment needed to hit the sweet spots.
Brace for any Totem gear to spike in price, Palsteron will be making a video on it soon.
Thank you for everything can you link your Max roll or please with your gear please

So, im testing block chance on passive tree, and when im on 8/8 ascendency on block and 41%, if i refund 5% block chance doesnt go to 36%, it remains on 40%.

Is there anything that im missing? A typo? Huh

If not, and actually works, maybe that nodes are not really worth it.

This is because of the LESS wording of the node that lowers block chance, but allows all hits to be blocked. I was thinking of dropping it at one point, it’s a really steep penalty imo but being able to block AOE is really nice.

Any updates on the passive skill tree?

Hopefully volume of melee skills gear is high enough this won’t realistically be able to change prices.
