How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

So I upgraded the Poison BAMA from the event. Its still WIP though. Build is using 'Tempered by War' and MoM.
Quiver, Amulet & Bone Ring are recombined. Recombine is much more powerful than tree in SSF at least if I want something specific without ultra-rare mods. Quiver like that would be near impossible to get per tree. Likely got lucky with the recombs overall in that it took less recombining than expected. The %bow on quiver is from my only Foulborn Exalt. I did mess up there a bit in that I forgot to add a 86 component to the quiver so it couldnt have rolled T1.

Big issue still the gfx lag, didnt get better unfortunately, this severely limits what I can do in maps.

Almost got smacked by Strands-Sirus Meteor. That Suppression nerf hurts. My (SSFHC) POV: I dont think they did right there. The situation is so now that Suppression is roughly just as good as before for mapping but its a big nerf for bossing. Now the thing is that right side builds are already unpopular for bossing anyway, this made them worse. Evasion isnt good for bossing is one of the issues. It would IMO have been better to make full Suppression more expensive or link it to Evasion rating on the character. That would also address the issue of non-Evasion chars getting Suppression. I dont have an issue with that in principle but I think game would benefit from Evasion builds getting more out of Suppression than non-Evasion builds. They could like add an Evasion mastery: "Prevent 1% of Suppressed Spell Damage per x Evasion Rating, upto y Evasion Rating."

So I made Poison Fusillade Ballista Assassin, still WIP. Skill isnt quite as good as expected. Likely due to limited effective AoE and the random aiming. Its kind of at its worst in Stabilized Breaches with infinite mob spawn. It becomes RNG there if the totems aim at the target mob/s or something else. Nonetheless overall the skill is still strong. Also tested a bit with Kinetic Rain of Impact instead and it seems weaker for single target but potentially better against dense mobs.

And Divine Flesh & Wither-on-hit from Timeless, 10% Ignite on Cluster.

And the Tree dropped a Mirror:


GFX lag problem unfortunately persists and is bad on the Fusillade build too, Legion in Stasis especially bad.
Server (and potentially connection) issues however seem to be gone now, only smooth play (on EU server) over the last few days. For some reason on league start (PoE 2 - no idea if that matters) Latency and such are often better than at other times, maybe GGG spends more $$$ on servers then.

Try Focussed Ballista support for that. It's made with that problem in mind

Cant aim with the GFX lag problem I have. GFX lag problem is messing up my mapping gameplay worse than ever this league.

Did some upgrades to Kinetic Fusillade Ballista Assassin, likely will leave it like that. Helmet is a yolo recomb, I rarely do that and it usually doesnt work so well.


It works for mapping and such but its not really particularly good at anything. Im also occasionally getting chunked by something - probably phys damage, unfortunately a weakness of how I built it.

Im farming 'The Coming Storm' for double corrupt Lightning Coil(s). Got enough of these out of it:

Failed to come up with something using this though, 'Fourth Vow' may have been powercrept into irrelevance.

It's still decent if you are going EB + Xibaqua (for Divine Flesh), that way your armour will apply to half the elemental damage you take. Since armour mitigation is rolled for every damage type it applies for, this can make even "lower" armour amounts quite useful

Granted, in Keepers you may as well just roll a phat rare armour instead, but it's not a bad item at all
