I've never done non-4 mageblood. Given it's almost always the only 100+ D item I buy, I figure buy 4 for the most reusability.

I've considered buying a 2blood to use with a Warden (tincture, tincture, health flask) but each time I complete the campaign on a Warden I am forced to admit to myself that I don't care how much damage tinctures provide. I do not want to manage them.

TFT guy gets banned from PoE (for RMT). Posts huge note asking GGG to unban him. Threatens suicide.

Welp, don't care one way or the other. I didn't like TFT ever, but honestly it was good for certain things before PoE1 lost Chris and went full QoL mode. Shit like buying 60 white lvl 86 boot bases or the early harvest crafting when juice wasn't a tradable commodity. Now we got enough that there's still probably niches for specialized trading, but they can probably insta-establish a new Discord and just slap a big warning on it.

Minion pact truly is stupid...this is probably the higest dps ive ever had. Im not sure if i can just double perfect meatsack (700%) health to get unholy abberation(1400%) life but i don't see why not so this is set with minion life being 3.6 million. Alltough this requires a few x% chances on hit. 5% for covered in ash, 10% for blind and 15% for unnerve and 3 seconds for 3 spider stacks. And nothing lives long enough to get all those debuffs. Could get even more dps if i was willing to use offhand for the first minion sacrifice snapshot and other general improvements too obviously but this is probably 2 mirror worth or so already.

They need to either:

Add a duration and buff to minion pact (something like lasts 10 seconds)

or

Prevent it from working with duration tagged gems.

That'd fix it but also nuke probably 50% of active player's builds right now. So probably in the future.

How's the BV clunk been? I cooked up a "budget" version but I'm not sure I even want to spend the time because I feel like maintaining a once per zone buff with poor visibility would be anxiety inducing.

Almost done farming up a mageblood. Can't decide between the above or something with Jiquani's. I played Crackling Lance mines last league but I can't do that again, it was too hard on the eyes. Any suggestions on alternatives?

I assume it won't be palatable for everyone but personally i don't have any issues with it. It probably helps i have 100% cast speed on my 2 rings so it hardly takes any time to cast.
6.6 seconds isnt that short of a duration, usually i have some reason to stop to position my mouse cursor or some other reason to stand still anyway.
Honestly i didn't realize cast speed did nothing for BV damage untill after i crafted the helical, was kicking myself for that when i could have 150% extra multi but it worked out super well in the end cause i don't need more damage and the cast speed is so good for frostblinkOWB and QoL.

The most annoying minion pact issue tbh is that your spectre just dissapears if you click BV in your hideout, probably bought 10-20 perfect meatsacks cause i kept clicking right mouse button in hideout, that was before i read on reddit about unholy abberation having twice the health of meatsack. It hasnt happened again yet but i'll have to run carcass map then to get another spectre.

I haven't played jiquanis, read it's good but i can't really offer much advice. If you want to play BV then minion pact is the most free damage ever, if you want to play some other skill then i don't think minion pact would even work.
