Yea I had leveled them all too high it seems. Even if they should have worked from the info text.

I'm using Tarekis Flickerstrike guide, I have no idea what I am doing, I just try to follow his PoB. :p

This is the last export I took of my slams guy before I rerolled

It's an insanely fat build and I wasn't even close to fully minmaxed. Another 4 levels gets you +3 more max all res, along with upgrading a few gear slots you end up at like 85 max allres total. Swapping to echoes of creation is like double my current damage. Going all the way to a 1200+ dps axe and a trinity setup is another doubling.

If you're struggling with this build it's because you're fundamentally misunderstanding something about it, or you just are not actually improving your gear in a meaningful way to do end game content.

If you're not getting at least 2 curses + other auras/benefits from your merc you probably need to fix that before anything else or just unsummon your merc so mobs don't have 50% more life until you can actually set one up properly.

Yeah, that is the EXACT build I am using and it is pretty beefy.

If I could do the campaign in 6 hours or less I think I would've rolled up for this league, seems like a pretty well-received one......

On the other hand, my real life is glad I skipped it. Maybe I'll hop on and play casually if the POE2 patch is underwhelming.

People are big time sleeping on some economic imbalances this league. Guess too many changes and not every one’s been noticed. This is probably the league to craft your own gear esp if you understand recombinators (I think I do since they simplified it a lot)

I understand them just fine, you put two pieces of decent gear in, click the button, and out pops a message saying recombination failed!

Got the Flickerstrike going pretty well with gear from a friend. But the annoying fucking random one shots that plague this game and PoE2 is just not fun. It takes it from a 10/10 game to 8/10.

You breeze through a map and killing everything with no issues then, boom dead. Revive boom dead, revive boom dead, ditch the map and start over.

No information on what killed you. Unfun part of the game.

Will do a few more levels but it is getting kinda annoying.

I have a 4800 armor chest with 8% phys reduction, 10% phys damage to fire implicit on it, my merc has Kaom's Binding, I have 82% all resists, 5.6k life, armor and evasion flasks on a Marauder and I die so much I'm stuck in level 94. I just died to the golem things on a Niko deposit.

Opacity slider, opacity slider, my kingdom for an opacity slider!


I'm just getting to maps on an Ice Crash of Cadence Slayer. The dps this build can put out relative to its dirt cheap entry level gear is quite impressive. ~5M dps on a Frostbreath and Bitterdream(the rest 3 T3 affix rares and a few ~2c uniques) is just silly. But as a veteran of CantSeeShitCaptain, this skill is somehow a step above even that.

Been getting PoE Brain really bad at night. Figured out how to hit +200% over fire resist with Enmity Embrace on a Chieftain finally. This shit pretty much only works with cloak of flames and a merc with kaom's binding and/or a defiance of destiny, but it's amazing:

22% increased GLOBAL resistances helps the -65% GLOBAL fire res. I went from needing something like 840 fire resistance to hit the 200 cap with my ring to merely 500-600ish. I'm, as far as I can tell, the only person in the entire game wearing it right now. Hilarious.

Also figured out some "Inquisitor Pen at Home" tech:

So you get a merc, melee preferably, something that gets in there like vigilant strike/dual strike/cyclone. Then you equip it with:

Then, you get a MIRRORED ring with "takes x to y _____ damage from attacks" from the mirror'd attack mod and equip it on your merc. Everytime your merc gets hit, it's going to take your selected element as damage and sets the mob to 0 resistances. Allows you to run things like punishment and a mark instead of a curse. Should still benefit from penetration as well as penetration applies after resistance modifiers.

Some really cool shit and neat stuff you can do this league. Dusting off some uniques that never saw the light of day and having them be build enabling is pretty cool.
