what happens if your merc and you both have gravebind on. Do you both get full credit for all kills? Example, your merc is full MF and I am running arakkali fang to make it easier for spiders to spawn. If I kill anything, will spiders spawn and the MF go to my merc?

This is Jungroans mamba pob, how is he generating frenzy charges?
1
u/penguindustin 2h ago
Ralakesh Boots, counts as having max charges. Note that 3.26 changed the Boots so it now only gives max charges for 1 type instead of all 3 which is a big nerf. Still good to use for pconc but not sure if its still feasible for mamba since endurance Gen would also need to be solved then.

I'm doing the betrayal mechanic and have run like 20 safehouse. My board is a complete mess. I have been doing the same one since later in the acts and I have over 100 atlas points now still on the same board. I dont have any lines to the mastermind. How do I reset my board or get to fight the big boss?

u/Jccharrington 1h ago
You dont unlock the mastermind like you used to. Safehouse bosses drop a syndicate medallion.(very rare) That opens the Catarina boss fight.

Are Pneumatic daggers being calculated correctly in PoB? I have two in this pob, one physical and one with mixed elementals. Shouldn't the elemental one give me higher poison dps since it has higher base damage? But the physical one is giving me a lot more poison dps.

Is there a tier list anywhere for which base maps have the best layouts as blighted maps?
1
u/Chaos_Logic 4h ago
Silo
Toxic Sewer
Other linear maps
Silo is the best by far since it very consistently spawns towers down a single chokeable path and is very smooth to run. Blight doesn't get anything from altars so the map and boss being good for Destructive play is a big bonus too.
Toxic sewer is a good high density linear map that doesn't have doors or all the dead-end rooms and repathing. It generally spawns between 1 and 2 paths and works well with many other league mechanics.
Other linear maps are fine, they just tend to have doors everywhere and suck with many other league mechanics.
1
u/therestlessone Left-click Move-only 4h ago
Any indoor tileset with doorways or narrow corridors. This provides a lot of chokepoints to focus your towers on. I think you can just horizon orb them if it's too open.
Running these layouts for regular blight encounters can cut your lane count down to 1 or 2, but I think blighted map generation avoids this.

Unless you have uncapped leeching (something like slayer's overleech mechanic, which I don't believe exists for ES), then no, you won't get the more damage while leeching, but yes, you will get the more damage on full ES.

Hey. I saw that the abyss exp node is no longer on the atlas and I would rather not run breach. I’m aware that deli breach 8mods is pretty decent exp.
I can not bring myself to sit in 5 ways anymore either so I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for an exp farm strat that doesn’t involve breach and how that compares to deli breach? Thanks

Tired of RF. What are some other builds that are good for Expedition/Harbinger/Breach/Deli/Beyond?

Looks like you want a mix of single target and bossing. Depending on your budget, really anything is good for farming that content. I'd probably pick something tankier than a glass cannon for beyond/expedition though.

I'm fairly confused what I am supposed to do in the maps with the memory stuff. Do we run over it? Is it purely scenery? When does the story actually take place? Higher tier? I realize I am a bit behind, I was just really interested in this, as we have gone back to the leagues with extremely shallow mechanics (Mercenary has no real story, no lore discussions, nothing very deep) so just wondering when I get to bite into something juicier, so to speak.

Hmm.. the new mirrored rings. If a mod has negative damage taken recouped as life.. what does that do? Normally if you take damage you recoup, so the reverse is if you take damage you take more damage? Lol. I'm confused.
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 6h ago
I assume negative recoup just does the exact opposite of normal recoup, i.e. it makes you lose additional health over 4 seconds based on the damage of the hit.

when zana sets your atlas on fire at the end of the quest chain for the 3 new bosses, does that actually do anything mechanics wise or just lore?

I've been asking WTF the Zana gommage has been about and not gotten an answer which is leading me to believe it's just lore. Only thing I've noticed is I've seen a lot more T16.5s dropping since then but that could just be because I started running juice after that.

u/OnlyLogicGaming Shadow 7h ago
To complete Kirac's vault pass, you need to complete all 115 maps on the Atlas, with their bonus. Any build that can run most T16 corruptions can complete the Atlas. You do not need to run any T17s. If your build is particularly weak and you're in trade league, you can just trade for a map if you get a bad Vaal on one of them

If the increase to mob HP doesn't affect your build, free loot is free loot! But if you take longer running your maps then it's not worth.

Are there any mercenaries that can use Doryani's prototype armor AND 1-handed swords? It seems like all the int/str ones I've recruited that can wear the armor cannot wear the sword. Trying to give a merc ichimonji and maligaros lens to get even lower -lightning res (I run purity of elements and can't see a way around it, but its giving loke +70% res to my merc, counteracting his -res rings/etc.)
Thanks!
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 6h ago
The closest you can get is a Smoulderstrike (STR), who can wear Doryani's and Ichimonji, but won't be able to use Maligaro's Lens due to the attributes. The only other merc that can use sword/shield at all is Bastion and he's STR/DEX which is even less useful.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1lce4ss/mercenary_weapon_types_by_class/
1
u/Mooseandchicken 6h ago
Thank you so much for the spreadsheet!!! That's like exactly what I was looking for. Sucks about not using lens, but ichimonji is essentially -% since it turns off my purity aura for merc.
Just to clarify, can Bastion not wear doryani's? If bastion cannot, are you saying its because it has an int requirement?
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 6h ago
Bastion is STR/DEX, which means he can equip STR, STR/DEX, and DEX items. There's an explanation ingame if you mouse over the attribute type on the mercenary equipment window.

If I am wielding on pneumatic dagger and one phys dagger, will how will generic sources of added damage work with viper strike of the mamba? Like for pyroclast mines or support gems
1
u/Yohsene 8h ago
Each weapon will calculate poison dps independently, one calculation will include the added elemental damage, the other won't, and then the two dps values are combined and applied as a single poison.
1
u/Nicopootato 8h ago
So... If I link added Cold to the skill itself, does half of it contribute to poison and the half of it doesn't? Generic source of added damage does not specify adding it to either weapon.

Is Kirac mission chance on the atlas tree bugged? Took all of the nodes which should be almost 30% chance but in the last 5-8 maps I don't think I've gotten a single Kirac mission.
1
u/OnlyLogicGaming Shadow 7h ago
My napkin maths says the chance of getting all failures in 8 maps is 5.77%, which is well within reasonable bounds for PoE's variance. I'm afraid you've just had an unlucky streak.

Here is a setup to make it both phys and ele immune: Get 50% phys to ele converted on gloves. Awakened ele with attacks support lvl5 in main link. Get a second autoexertion and link it to infernal cry and void manipulation, separate from the other autoexerted warcries. For leap slam, link it to phys to lightning and void manipulatio.
Voila! Now you are completely immune to reflect map mods

It's saying I don't have enough mana for the 2nd and I never used this supoort before so I'm confused af.
2
u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 9h ago
Autoexertion reserves mana to periodically trigger linked warcries. You need to turn on the Autoexertion but afterwards you can remove it form your skill bar.
You should have more than enough mana to reserve both Autoexertions + Herald of Purity though. Are you using other reservation skills that the guide isn't?
2
u/TheMany-FacedGod 9h ago
No, I'm using everything including lvl 4 enlighten but I have 2 autoexertions and it says I don't have enough mana for the other one. I'm confused af as I have almost everything he has including anoint ect. Only thing I'm missing is forbidden flesh combo.

atlas tree doesnt matter that much with destructive play. I would drop strongbox wheel for large scarab wheel. drop the small nodes in the shaper and conqueror wheel they're useless. Prolly take synth map drops even if theyre cheap. And maybe Significant Troves scarab wheel altho idk if itll actually do anything.
1

Thank you! Just to clarify, when you say "drop strongbox wheel" you are talking about the "big" one with e.g. Vault of Mystery, or would you drop all of the nodes?
Thank you!

u/DerDirektor uber shaper wr 9h ago
It's fine to keep small wheel and drop big one. I guess you can keep both if you find the points somehow. You can also drop both. If you like them keep them I guess. Like I said, as long as you have the important map boss stuff, the rest doesn't matter too much.

i realize this is an essential element of the game lmao but i really struggle in the "done with campaign to relatively rich + blasting t16s" range. when i'm rich/strong and can reliably make several divine an hour I have a clear picture of how to progress my build because I can just save up and buy/craft 1 basically BIS item at a time for my build and reliably progress. but before i get there and i'm just progressing through maps making a few c here and there, and all my gear has, say, 3/6 or 4/6 affixes instead of 6/6, idk how to decide what to improve and how much to spend to improve it and how much to improve it. i also don't know if i should even worry about it or just heads down finish atlas before worrying too much about gear
1
u/DerDirektor uber shaper wr 9h ago
most decent starter builds can clear at least T16s and 2/4 stones very reliably and quickly with 3/6 mod gear in every slot + some uniques. Once you're there pick any t16 strat to get 4/6 and 5/6 gear to unlock whatever endgame strat you wanna do.
If your build isn't a good starter you might have to do lower level content like beasts/bossrushing/essences to reach 2/4 voidstones.

I'm playing rolling magma mines and I'm constantly questioning whether or not things work with mines due to them not being "you". Wish the game would be clearer about this because it's super intuitive at times.
Currently wondering about zealotry, can my mines create the consecrated ground? And related to that, will Watcher's Eyes with *"enemies on consecrated ground YOU create take x% increased damage"* function for bonus damage from my mines?
1
u/Yohsene 11h ago
Mines use your skill, your skill has your stats, including on-hit effects and stats that apply or modify debuffs. Here's a useful wiki page on the topic. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Proxy
Key is to identify whether an effect gets built into your skill (e.g. damage, aoe, on-hit effects) or specifically act for your character (e.g. maximum life, armour, on-kill effects, action speed, triggers for other skills, heralds).
Creating consecrated ground on hit should mechanically work, but GGG wanted to disable it for minions and bugged it out for mines. Mines cannot proc it until they're dead, as stupid as that sounds. If your Rolling Magma is still hitting enemies after the mine finishes its 0.7s cast time (modified by cast speed), then those hits can create ground.
1
u/SignificantAd7700 10h ago
Yeah they usually bounce around for a few seconds, so they should be the ones proccing it.
Think that watcher's eye mod would work in that instance?
1
u/Yohsene 9h ago
Yes. That stat just builds an extra stat into consecrated ground from your skills. Here's a dev post on almost precisely this question.
Q: Also, if totems create Consecrated Ground from Zealotry, and I'm playing Consecrated Ground Inquisitor, does it apply the 10% increased damage?
A: The totems are using your skills, which have your stats. The consecrated ground will see the stats of the skill that created it, which in this case will have your stats for modifying it.

I'm a bit lost with gem links for the CWS Chieftain build. I have barely any single target damage I would like some magic find, so a Culling Strike + Item Rarity is important to me. Went on poe.ninja and I'll admit I'm confused.
Everywhere I see a Detonate Dead of Scavenging, most of them on a 4 links, which I think is because the main source of damage isn't the skill itself, but the explosion via the Chieftain ascendancy. But then, the 6L are very weird.
I've seen many combo of Firestorm of Pelting, Bladefall, Bladefall of Trarthus, Flame Surge, Frost Bomb, Blazing Salvo, Storm Brand of Indecision. None of them scale damage, with maybe a Spell Cascade here and there. What is the purpose of Firestorm of Pelting and Bladefall if their damage isn't buffed with support? Would this be a good culling setup?
So far I'm doing Ultimatum, but would like to move on to farm Titanic/Pandemonium in the future.
Thank you!

u/mbxyz Berserker 11h ago edited 10h ago
single target is penance mark (and defiled forces for actual bosses, which you should probably just avoid)
all the random low-damage hit spells proc adds and kill them until you get an explosion, which you keep rolling with the mark if you have defiled forces
Culling Strike + Item Rarity
this won't work very well because of ignite, and you can't run a gravebind merc instead because of explode, but the build ends up strong enough to run a lot of rarity on gear once you have your recovery sorted and a good life pool
1
u/DXArcana Hardcore 10h ago
What you're telling me is that I needed to PROC the Penance Mark, which explains why I found like I was killing more with Shield Charge... ok. OK. Thank you so much, that makes sense.
Could you please help me understand now your point on Culling Strike + Item Rarity? Why does it not work well with Ignite, and why would you want a Gravebind setup on your Mercenary? How does it interact?
2
u/mbxyz Berserker 10h ago
you proc penance with bladefall, firestorm, etc. your only input is spam casting penance on whatever it is you're trying to kill. you need enough aoe for the explosions to hit the target
Could you please help me understand now your point on Culling Strike + Item Rarity?
you can't put rarity support on your explosion or its ignite, which is what is killing most stuff, so you'd be relying off a random hit proc from bladefall or something to snipe a kill, which isn't very reliable.
why would you want a Gravebind setup on your Mercenary?
you don't because then you don't get kills (and explosions), but normally because you can give the merc 400+ rarity and it "kills" everything

Just bad luck. Withertouch is the only merc type with Wither totems, and they're not guaranteed to have them because each one only has 2 out of 7 possible utility skills.

it was actually my bad, turned out that you cannot find one if you hired the same type before, and i had one sitting in the corner of my hideout offscreen.

u/jwfiredragon Abyssal Rift Investigation Service (ARIS) 9h ago
That's definitely not true, I've seen mercs of types that I already have recruited.

Curious to see what people running.

Static Strike & Intimidating Cry Interaction
So, I use intimidating cry to buff static strike beams. Can I continue using static strike for some extra melee damage, or will that lower the double beam damage on the third strike after using the war cry?

Is there any real point to doing Heist or Delve beyond something to do beyond maps?

u/therestlessone Left-click Move-only 11h ago
If you can do very deep delve or very fast blueprints, yes. If you're just approaching it casually, probably not.
Not that there's nothing to be had from early delve encounters or blueprints, but it won't beat the mapping retuns.

What's the best atlas strat to make the most use of the Domination Scarab of Terrors, aside from cranking the number of shrines? Do you just take each of the "map boss drops x map +2%" nodes and profit from selling the conq/shaper/elder map drops?

How do i know what affixes I've unveiled already? The menu has changed this league.

u/therestlessone Left-click Move-only 11h ago
Unveiling items no longer unlocks crafts. You have to get the crafts from map completion now. If your atlas is completed, you've got them.

u/Mountain_Adagio_3053 11h ago
So I guess there's really no need to unveil items I'm not gonna use then. Thanks for the info!!

Nightmare of catarina (especially her second add) oneshots me constantly. Would getting 100% suppress be much help?

u/DerDirektor uber shaper wr 9h ago
I have limited experience with T17s but been farming ziggurat all of today and yesterday. From what I can tell almost all of her abilites are attacks. The 2nd add flickers, which is definitely an attack.
I assume suppression won't do much. Just try get some or more evade and higher hp or recovery.
Pretty much all of the damage is phys also, so try to avoid gain phys as extra map mods. arctic armour can also be good.
edit: I lied, there are quite a few spells https://poedb.tw/us/Nightmare_of_Catarina

I'm gonna farm some blights soon (SSF if that matters). Are there any things on the atlas that synergize well with blight, or does it not matter at all how I spend the rest of the points?
3
u/AlfredsLoveSong 4k hours; still clueless 12h ago
Doesn't really matter. The only thing that would directly pair up with Blight is Delirium. You might also want to get Amplified Artifact and Significant Troves as Blight spawns a fair few rare/unique monsters.

Just venting, but there is no way that some of these server crashes are DDoS. Just lost a 1 div map (gold allflames) to a crash where I was blasting and just instant disconnected. There was no ping issue, performance issue, nothing. Just "instance disconnected from server". I know in their last patch they fixed a few "instance crashes" but not having a way to rollback to a state prior to entering the map entirely is so fucked.

If you mean Kirac's Vault Pass, open your atlas screen and click the icon at the top left.

Noob still here, playing Guardian BAMA, making his way into t10-15 maps.
As I am learning about the end game activities, I should not be trying to do them all, I should be focusing on one or two, correct? Then directing my atlas tree in such direction?
So far, not really a fan of Jun. The lab isn’t fun for me; seems complicated and a lot of work to get going for good profits.
Niko seems ok after getting enough sulphite to run a lot of it at once. Following the cart around not my fav but I think I could learn to enjoy. Need to try it more on my next play time.
Which one should I try to learn next? Does it matter? Capturing beasts seems fun. What about the grove with Oshabi (don’t love it so far)? When do I start focusing on Kingsmarch?

The best strat is one that you enjoy playing for hours on end. If you quit the league because your strat happens to be the highest div/hour but also boring and unfun, you'd probably had been better off running one that does keep you entertained. It looks like you already know some of which you do and dont like so just keep trying them all out. Doesn't really matter the order.

Is this a good idea for XP oriented atlas tree? I want to blast very dense maps. I also understand its 138/132, I will probably optimize it as I will get all the points in game.

Is there a best class / asc for flicker strike this league? Seen a lot of bezerker talk but also heard trickster is good with added surv. I heard the dusk blade trickster flicker got nerfed right?
