anyone know, whether one can chance scol's bridle?

If anyone is selling his +3 fire / cast while channeling staff, pm me. Prefer block base.

Not possible this league as it is a Torment League specific item and we need the Zana Map device mod (not available in 3.9 Metamorph)

I am dying to try this with Eternity Shroud too :D

Hey! I'm new to this kind of playstyle and wanted to make a build to farm HoGM and Uber Lab. Do you think I can use Scorching Ray instead of Cyclone? How does the self cast version of the build work? Do you have any links or PoB how you build the self cast version for HoGM? Thank you for the build, looks awesome :)

I do not recommend trying to farm HOGM with this build. While possible it's not an easy map to complete for us. There's a really nast RF+Scorching Ray Exile that just *wrecks* this build as we can barely do any damage to him. For reference, I've tried the map 3-4 times this league. I always lose the map to the same guy.

Same for lab. Izaro is easy but being hybrid and low-end phys mitigation makes traps a serious liability and just a pain.

does anyone have a video with tailwind/elusive boots?

i rly wanna compare the speed vs stampede

also for people using spell cascade, how do you summon enough corpse to sustain spirit offering AND VD? (what do u drop for unearth/gmp/greater volley?)

AND

dont u reach the 60limit too quickly making you force to go in range? instead of letting VD ball fly overto the boss from afar?

lastly, I still do not understand why you guys use purifying flame... it doesnt add anything...

Purifying Flame creates consecrated ground. This is useful on its own, but also allows to use Bottled Faith during mapping, because the damage bonus only requires hallowed ground in general, it does not have to come from the flask.

I did not add GMP or unearth or anything. So far I don't feel like I have issues sustaining my offering.

what is wrong with my items ... dying so much

Hmm, can be done easily on self-cast mode, no funny aegis block guys or rf gm issues, they cannot survive balls with that much dmg & penetration.

Completed HOGM bost on blight and this season.
I think i got killed by dot from that scorching ray guy after he died on blight, and this time got killed once by mirrored ts bow guy at one of chests since volatiles decided to go after other gms first.

So _completion_ is not an issue, and you should have a self-cast config until high investment anyway, it's just 2 gems swap mostly

But farming HOGM is waste of time for this build since it can do harder content.

Farming lab is a definite nope, agree completely there.

Stampede is definitely a net clearspeed loss item with it's fixed 50% ms at _end_ of day.
True, Cyclone MS penalty is _brutal_, and stampede negates that.
With 20% ms boots + onslaught + tailwinds + elusive MS is only like 17% while cycloning with everything procced, but alchemist's of adrenaline QS flask _drastically_ changes this, with cyclone MS on all buffs procced being ~80% and normal MS ~ 160%.

Shouldn't be cycloning all the time, so you can use that normal ms too. And on simpler content or when you don't care about exp anymore you can use flesh offering instead of bone offering for even higher clearspeed. All of that is denied by using stampede.

Although small grace about it is it frees up a flask slot (as QS is useless) for atziri's flask.

Fun fact : it's a blight league unique, so can hold a full annoint, don't forget to get battle rouse or crystal skin or smth...
Too bad we can't run hardened scars. That would've made this boots much better option for early bossing..

If you're "letting the balls fly from afar" you're also losing corpse explosion dps and likely missing out on ES on hit, combustion procs etc and also subject to some random off-screen oneshot.

I found even with Sirus 8 it's best to be in his face/moving behind him almost all the time(which kind of negates benefits of CWC tbh / brings question "why not CoC" again). And all the balls over limit don't go to waste.

@Gryph, wdyt about +2 gems amus ?
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Metamorph/Wvng0pZTm

Got Auls, but keep thiking mb that ones would've been better : cheaper on lower end, much more flexible regarding resists, and can craft mana gained on it instead of on second ring.

Seems like +2 gems would've given 19% more dps, which is even more than zealotry gives at 16%.

And having "mana gained" craft on amu would open up possibility of second ring being circle of anguish for for another 12% more over zealotry auls.

With enlighten 4 + 90% mana mult scold + sovereignity should mb be possible to fit aspect of spider, worst case with reduced HoA reservation CoA instead of fire dmg one.

They look fine and good on lower budget. Aul's (when I was looking at this) was giving more damage AND has 70 Life + 20% Max ES as well. You lose a lot HP when using a +2 amulet as the gem levels are both prefixes. I would just use a Fire Leech amulet with lots of HP and crit multiplier instead. Or a +1 gem level with better stats. That's my opinion.

@Gryphenprey

In light of recent events, which one would you recommend?
(I have a i9 9900K and 1080Ti, so my PC can handle the Spell Cascade even - although I'm having fps drops like crazy... but that happens anyways.)

Cast While Channeling
|
Cyclone
|
Volatile Dead
|
Elemental Focus
|
Concentrated Effect
|
Awakened Fire Penetration OR Controlled Destruction OR Spell Cascade

Is there a reliable way to calculate these?

Hey, i am dying a lot and i don't have too much dmg, but i wouldn't complain about the damage if i weren't dying so much, so it's not so much of a problem
Those are my itens
I'm using aspect of the spider, so i'm using herald of ash and discipline with it, don't have mana to zealotry (1737 mana, 3555 life, 4200 energy shield with discipline and cyclone working)

What can i do to improve it?
I've got smthg like 3 EX right now
Thanks
