Path of Exile

This is an example of one of the more egregious scalars they've ever released in PoE. It happens from time to time and people don't pay attention to it because the numbers aren't readily eye popping



5% per 100 ward is... idiotic. 10k ward = 500% increased cooldown recovery rate. You can easily hit 30k ward with things like Yndas and Faithguard.

People will use that purely for the CD recovery, ignoring the trigger portion. Those numbers don't make any sense. Abuse it while you can if you feel so inclined.

There is nothing else in the game that scales that stat even close to that much. Saboteur is one of the few places to get it and its only 50% and its a feature notable of that ascendancy

At a certain point aren't you just battling tick rate on the server not to mention diminishing returns? For things like coc I don't know if it's worth the less multiplier but maybe for other big cool downs it's worth? I've only used cdr for coc and cwdt.

Well you're always trying to line things up vs server tick rate (33ms). That's global, has no bearing on CDR one way or another other than you need to be aware of it.

More CDR = better. And that one gem can solve all your CDR needs on any skill by itself essentially.

As an example they added this exceptional support this league, there hasn't ever been anything like this for just flat cdr and this is what would be considered a high amount


That's 45%. The cast on ward break is 50% at just 1k ward. 1k ward is nothing. So a gem that has other purposes is better suited at the job this new exceptional gem was created for by leaps and bounds.

Make no mistake. Being able to get hundreds of percents of CDR is game breaking. You can essentially get things like Molten Shell to fractions of a second of CD time, making it *almost* permanent. Warcries can be used over and over (and there is a warcry mastery that restores 15% of life when you use a warcry). These are just 2 small examples.

You can make Frostblink have a CD that is lower than Wintry Blast's cast time...

That shit is broken.

What's a good regex for avoiding cancer maps with Absolution. Only delete reflects right now but some maps get a bit rough, granted I'm Vaaling for completion.

Ele reflect bad, phys reflect is annoying but doable as long as you're full converting but Big Bernie will kill himself if you're Guardian, +resistances is nullified so it's great, spell suppression on mobs is a big loss of dps, and that's about it outside of your classics like no regen maps.

I forgot but I eventually go skeleton mages with the Blessed Rebirth cluster notable so they're literally invincible for 4 seconds and I recast. Absolution is only "created" when it pops from the mob debuff that summons them, so they just refresh duration rather than being able to use that notable properly.

HOWEVER, Foulborn Fleshcrafter removes the faster energy shield recharge and instead lets minions leech 5% elemental dmg as ES which is really, really good for keeping them up. But I know you 6 linked your regular one and that's perfectly fine the more damage you do the less likely the absolution will ever lose all their ES.

There's more tech I use with Rathpith necromantic Aegis, but then you lose defense and need to scale health and your minions slowly (kind of) kill themselves when they cast, but I'd stick with aiming for a Doryani and doing that as there's several full guides for that setup out there.
