Got 200div today out of a pair of valdo's (one from 115 atlas and then one dropped right away in first t17 i ran shortly after) that had nimis and progenesis as rewards and not too crazy maps. Decided to follow poeguy's siege ballista and now i'm swapping to the str stacking shrapnel with the money. Got one ring with a double rarity that i'm hoping I don't have to reroll due to lack of resists. It's like 68 str, 100+ life, 46ish rarity, 2-48 lightning dmg to attacks (dead mod of sadness) and maybe int or something.

It's fairly obvious this new set of Foulborn uniques was created to keep people interested in the patch so they can fuck off back to poe2. The first set of Foulborns made a bit of sense because it was sort of tit for tat on what you lost vs what you gain. This new set is like "Here's this OP as shit addition to this unique and we removed a stat nobody actually valued anyway"

No, you just use windscream on the AG as well to give an extra curse, and anything you or your minions kill still gets the pop.

I've been just following Balormage's build since I've never played Holy Relic before and I'm pretty out of the loop on PoE1 anyway since PoE2 came out. I got a pair of Asenath's with +2 Minion corrupt cheap so I'm wearing those myself. What do I put on the AG to go with Windscream, something like a Southbound or random rare that has Despair on hit corrupt?

Still can't figure out why he dropped his godroll sword for one that doesn't have the abyss socket just to be able to trigger-cast Frost Bomb when Holy Relic is doing all chaos damage...

both the windscream and the Asenath's both go on the AG - this lets the AG curse on hit and anything that he curses (including the corpses of such) gives off an AOE that makes other mobs pop when killed (by anybody).

I think he dropped the sword because honestly the Abyss socket isnt doing a whole lot. It's flat minion damage and doesn't count toward count toward Amanamu's Gaze because he's already running 5 other Ghastly Jewels. Frost bomb stops enemy HP regen but that really hasn't seemed to be a problem for me in this league, but I'm not sure what content he's running so I dunno.

My own HROC necro is closing in on the min-max version of the build and I'm about ready for something new.

I want an Uber boss farmer that can do them solely and consistently - mapping not needed. 30-40 div budget to start. Anyone got recommendations? Doesn't need to be witch, I have no problem running through the campaign and maps for a day to get back to a high level.

I think poison animate weapons necro is supposed to be good for bossing, but idk the budget.

kinetic fusillade supposedly pretty broken for bossing.

Anyone know if multiple strikes are not exactly processed all at the same time? I'm playing an elemental hit build and it's quite common to walk into a completely fresh pack, attack it once(no multistrike) and some of the elemental hits have the 80% more radius from the elemental ailment of same type on target.

I was planning on picking up Expedition's End for a chill aura, but, idk, seems kinda useless.

I think I figured it out. Took off all my extra strikes but was still getting the same behavior. It seems as you swing through a pack, the Elemental Hit splashes and puts ailments onto targets you haven't hit in that swing, making those splashes bigger. Expedition's End probably still worthwhile, but maybe only while using Frostbreath.

Also, makes strike range quite good. I think it makes the cone of your strike longer.

Did you go slayer? I've been messing around with different ele hit setups and can't decide what ascendancy I actually want. Slayer seems like the most straight forward for sure, but I think campion with big fortify stacking is maybe better lategame.

Yep, slayer. The poverty levels in which I like to test builds, slayer makes more sense. It's rare to play a build where every line of Impact is actually useful.

Respeccing to Champion and Beacon of Madness boots might make sense as a later build.

I really want to use Hateful Accuser, but I can't seem to solve the problem of putting a lightning ailment on the phantasms before hitting them. I know it's typical to use Southbound in that case, but I'm not sure I want to glove swap. Clearing with Southbound is really annoying.

I'm fucking positive last league I could get betrayal to show me the exact percent and now it doesn't. Anyone know if it changed or if I changed something like an idiot?

I don't think you'd need to do the southbound thing outside actual ubers. The damage on a normal setup is gonna be more than enough for mapping and probably even normal pinnacles.

I agree slayer is the much easier start. I'm trying to do this with a Rakiata's right now using all 4 purities + treachery runegraft to avoid having to spend a billion divines on weapons, but the reservation is tough and doesn't leave any room for any kind of defense aura. That's maybe okay though if you go endurance ralakesh for reliable ~8 endurance charges + fortify?

Sounds interesting, I'll have to PoB that. Only defense aura I'm running is Flesh and Stone, charges might be good enough.

The real issue is elemental hit has terrible damage effectiveness and relies on the huge added flat damage, which makes paradoxica almost impossible to beat for raw damage.

I think the inversion idea is decently strong though, you probably just need to play smite or double strike or something over ele hit.

Yeah, but those skills aren't as fun as overlapping splash aoes. Really hope they eventually fix the double hit on smite soon(and properly balance the damage...), it's an otherwise really fun skill.
