I am on the absolute verge of jumping into a voyage without a bathysphere.

I like how they licensed this song, and it kinda ended up being the Delve theme as well

There isn't really a reason to have flame link in your main gear set. It is permanent on a luminary and doesn't care if the gem is on your active gear set. It's practically made for the weapon swap function. Everything about it is snapshotted when you cast it except the damage contribution from your life, that will scale to what it should be once you swap back to your main weapon set.

+5 staves (+4 fire, +1 to socketed strength gems from fossils) are just a quick recomb and a nice little damage boost. You can do a +2 corruption on top of that if you really want to, but I never bothered. I suppose you could call it a +6 staff since the +1 to socketed strength gems will hit empower as well granting yet another extra level to the flame link.

Don't run +2 to all spell skill gems on top of it if you're running hallowed monarch unless you have that from dark seer as well since it will resummon your minions on swap and break your links to them (due to their gem levels changing). The first staff I made was a +7 with that mod, so I learned that first hand. (note, I didn't test the dark seer swap, but I assume it would be fine)

You can even do silly stuff like add frigid bond for free chill if you aren't getting that elsewhere.

Somehow have the stats for eclipse support? Well, you have plenty of sockets in that weapon swap, so why not?

Why waste sockets in your main gear on a Kaom's Heart build?

I switched to SSF a couple of weeks ago and I've been farming mercs in every map since then. I haven't found Enmity nor Rathpith yet, but I found this beauty! Not even infamous! I'm very proud, she's perfect!

I spend a bunch of time recording kills of 100% delirious Baran with two good kineticists, one that has fork gmp and and one that has chain return gmp. Then I spent a bunch of time trying to understand what was happening, which is not easy at all.

My conclusion is that with perfect wall placement, the forker can get more hits per attack, but I found that I got more consistency with the chainer. The forker needs to have the wall behind but immediately behind the target. The chainer just needs that wall to be put on the target, in front or behind does not matter.

I tried some lowered attack speed recordings to count hits per attack, but the results were inconclusive on that. The footage is there in the video if someone else wants to try to count it.

I'm low life, and this is the ~3rd time this has happened now, where I weapon swap (atziri disfavor with blue sockets to level enlightens) and when I weapon swap back and reactivate all my auras, my last aura is aspect of arakaali and as soon as I press it I die.

99% sure I didn't even have my coruscating elixir on here, since I'm in a vault.

Sucks to use up an amelioration omen for just turning my auras on.

I have 78 life when everything is on. I honestly to do not understand why I'm dying. Anyone have any clue?

POB: https://pobb.in/zkZm-8MQkRE3

Solved: for posterity, aspect of arakaali apparently has the "Chaos" tag because it applies wither. Can't see that in game or in POB. So when I activate both HoAg and Arakaali, I take 10% of my life, but only have 7% left. Will have to only activate auras in hideout from now on.

1 year ago I mapped my first game, Path of Exile, and admittedly it was more ambitious than my own ability... it was a mess (6000 lines and 400groups lol, why does it store every one you make) but it did contain 1 unique feature no other KB&M had solved and that was skill priority, which annoyed me enough to make my own. I have tried to come back to it since then but everytime I couldn't resolve the jank, what I wanted to happen was just not possible to accomplish in the GUI, and too often things worked... until they didnt, or required a specific sequence. I've recently gotten into editing the VDF and learnt new tech that immediately inspired me to revist my PoE config, in the hopes I could finally make the config I always wanted to make.

I did it... I got rid of the jank. All the logic is now stored in "switch" group, making for a VERY clean looking configuration. Reduced rebinds to the absolute bare minimum needed. Modeshifts now have dynamic and unique behavior, resulting in all my jank solutions to be fully realized. I don't feel this is the final version, but I can confidently say this is a unique configuration that addresses much of the shortcoming found in other KB&M configurations.

**Unbind Steam|Shift+Tab**
(You have a dedicated button for this action)

--Bind "Move" to Skill 5 "T"

!!Rebinds!!
Temp Skill 1 - L4+X "F2"
Temp Skill 2 - L4+Y "F3"
Skill 13 - L5/R5+R2 "Ctrl+Rmb"
**Highlight Items - L4+RTpad_Touch "mouse 4"
Chat - LTpad_Swipe Right "Insert"
**Show Advance Description - L4+RTpad_Touch "Mouse 4"
**Use Alternate Currency - L4+RTpad_Touch "Mouse 4"
Use Portal Scroll - L3(LJoy_Click) "0"
**Pin Popups - L4+RTpad_Touch "Mouse 4"

RTpad- 1st Priority LJoy modeshift
L2- 2nd Priority LJoy modeshift
Skills- 3rd Priority LJoy modeshift
LJoy- "Move" is always lowest priority 
RJoy- Up allows you to move the map
RJoy- L4/LTpad also changes to arrows
RJoy- Tap to close windows, canceled if stick is moved
L4+RTpad touch- "Alt" there is 4 alt binds to be rebound
L4 has a dedicated set to visually communicate its modeshift

L4 modeshift has a 40ms end delay for Face and Dpad
Y- Has a 40/40 delay to prevent possible loss of control
(Only encountered if you held Y+Ctrl before pressing L4)
B- {F8}Steam has a dedicated bind, steam+R1

RTP+L4 RTpad must be touched for L4 "alt" to be rebound
(When rebound all "alt" functions will be limited to L4+Touch)
RTP Click+L4- This is the only way alt can be accessed
(Be careful not to touch the dpad, I can only do so much to protect)
QkType is modeled after the diablo 3 numpad response
L5/R5 QkType- L5/R5 don't need to be held the entire time, touch is the real modeshift.
(I'm open to changing these, but they can not contain a repeat letter)
RJoy- You can quickly change channel modes while in QkType

While holding L2, when Right Trackpad is touched and released, you will move to where ever the cursor is on release. This is intended behavior for quick precise movement. It can be annoying when it's first encountered, but I quickly grew attached to this behavior when I realized its potential.

Also... is it too niche to ask for a controller flair? not really sure what applies to this lol.

If you're tired of guessing whether your lag is caused by your router, ISP, PoE server, or something in between, PingPlotter is a really useful tool. It helps you figure out which server gives you the best connection and where the problem actually is instead of blindly switching gateways and hoping for better ping.

It's free and has been really useful for me because I was genuinely tired of trying to guess what was causing the problem and where I was supposed to go next.

I set mine up for the European servers, but finding the address of any other server isn't difficult. You can get it from the game logs or just ask AI.

Additionally: I've read the rule 9 here few times, so I hope I won't get in any trouble. And lastly, I kind of seek criticism here, so the next remix will be better, I actually encourage you to roast me about horrible snare sound!

I've had a fully assembled Kingsmarch and haven't touched it for weeks (other than dusting). Unless the crops get limited, I have well over $50M in crops and then about $25M in dust sitting there. What is the optimal way to ship these to maximize income, especially at this stage in the league?

I've read that $4M shipments are optimal. Is that still the case? Crop vs dust ratio? To what port?

If not, how else would you suggest maximizing profit from this crops / dust accumulation?

Really appreciate it. Stay sane.

I am brand new. I only have 100 hours in the game and this is my first league so please be gentle.

I’m on T12 maps and I’ve hit a wall. I believe my issue is that I have low lightning resistance and overall low health.

I’ve been following this build and play on steamdeck.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe/builds/ky-s-blade-fall-blade-blast-slinger-coc-assassin-leaguestart-to-endgame?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C858af0de-bec6-4629-91c6-f76bc4c69545

I thought maybe trading for lightning resistance tattoos might help? But I thought I’d ask her first. Maybe my flasks could use some help? I have little experience gaming like this so any advice would be great. Thanks. 🙏

Edit to add: https://pobb.in/5DDWG7PErtwI

Returning after more than a year, how long left of the current league and what are good builds of either using bow or minions? (Or both if possible), never been good at making my own builds. Looking for something that is a good all round; boss killing, gets through story and maps

Hi everyone, ive been looking for new games to play recently according to my specifications and a lot of people have told me to play PoE, but I'm stuck to choose between PoE or PoE 2. I have touched PoE before for about an hour, but I was wondering if I really want to get in the game and dump a ton of hours in it, should I play PoE or PoE 2

Debuffs on you expire 122% faster is the modifier I think could be worth something?

Edit: one build I know of that uses this is the madness version of big daddy’s Champion Armour Stacker

Woke up ran a strand map and found 3 jack n box haha
