[3.24] 🗡The Nightblade🗡Nightshade Tincture | Incorporeal | New demo video up

Hi Exiles,

I've published this new video for the Nightblade :

#2 : Stormblast

A T16 Coral Ruins with Ritual.
I've tested several things with the editing tool. Music, video and even some poetry. And rest assured, a lot of blade flurries ;)

Hope you like it !

Hi Exiles,

as is tradition since 3.10, here is a last video for the season, in which I greet all my subscribers.
This time, this is a tough fight against the Eradicator with inc dmg, atk and move speed, but even more difficult, 50% life as extra ES.
I could have titled this video : the Uber Eradicator.
Oh, and did I say there is Maven cloning it ?

#3 : Soul In Agony

Hope you like it, good luck and see you in 3.18 :)

Hi Exiles,

I have begun a series of Essential Guides videos for my home-made builds. Each video explains the main mechanics of a build, in 3mn, in a deathless T16 map.
Already published :

#1 : The Pestilent Viper
#2 : The White Wind. Spectral Helix Raider.
#3 : Summon Reaper Necro.

A lot more are coming for builds such as : Ice Golemancer Elementalist, Exsanguinate Trickster, Boneshatter Chieftain...

I'm preparing the guide for the Nightblade, which I'll publish in a few days.

Meanwhile, here is a selection of the best videos of the Nightblade, one for each patch from 3.7 to 3.17 :



Good luck and have fun :)

Browsing through Poe.ninja, I've noticed we have two Nightblade players in the Daily section today !

First is JailerReap from Nightbiter TV.
* Poe.ninja.
* Profile.

The character is still in the making, considering he is level 91 and still has a Tabula Rasa and underlevelled gems.

The second one is MassiveCockMan from Jamesbigpp.
* Poe.ninja.
* Profile.

Level 93, with two excellent daggers that are as good as mine is Standard.
- An amulet with phys as extra cold and lightning dmg.
- A Frenzy armour chest and +1 Frenzy Shaper gloves.
- Level 21/20% gems and Awakened Melee lvl 6.
- Secret of Suffering.
- Spell Suppression capped.

I've made this PoB from his char : https://pastebin.com/GvcYeLT7

Congrats, Jamesbigpp, we are very proud of your massive, ahem, daggers ;)

Good luck and have fun, Exiles :)

Hi Exiles,

I have just published an Essential Guide to the Nightblade.

The idea of this video is to explain the main mechanics of the build while playing the game, with these constraints :
- Around 3mn
- A t16 map
- At least 90% quantity
- A complete run, from start to boss
- No cut, no edit
- Deathless



If you already know the build, you won't learn new things. Still, you'll see a very juicy map... with some fun at the end ;)
Also, this was made the first saturday of the patch, before the nerfs to Archnemesis mods.

This Essential Guide is the 6th of the series for my home-made builds. Eventually, there will be a dozen. You can watch all of them in this playlist.

*

Next time, I'll have some new endgame improvements and a video to display them.
Good luck and have fun :)

Discrepancies:

In the "Options" section (at the start of this thread) you write "Bandits : Alira.".
In the (most recent(?)) PoB build there is "2 Passive Points".

In the "Options" section you write "Pantheon : Arakaali and Abberath".
In the PoB build there is "... Soul of Tukohama".

Thx for the correction.
I have changed the text as such :

* Bandits : Alira. Then for very endgame, try to change to 2pts from Kill the Bandits. See the recipe here.

Updated PoB

* As you probably know, a few days ago, the codes to the Timeless Jewels have been cracked by a member of PoB Community.
So you no longer need to manually write all additional mods in PoB.

Maybe they'll manage to make a reverse-research tool, where you select the mods you want and it gives you the numbers you want for the jewel, e.g. : "I want three "5% phys as extra cold" mods in Shadow socket --> Get seeds number 2364, 12857 etc." (random numbers ofc)

* New stuff



For endgame, you can replace Lori's Lantern ring with Ming's Heart.
Both rings are included in the PoB.

* An Impossible Escape jewel for Iron Reflexes, to allocate Panopticon.
In the radius, you also have a small life node and Hematophagy.

Take care Exiles !

PoB has just been updated with a new (incredible) tool to find Timeless Jewels.
The search works both ways.
I'll explain.

1- What mods will my Timeless Jewel give ?

If I take my current timeless jewel, which is Brutal Restraint/Asenath number 2914, I can manually change the seed number to, say, 3012 and it will indicate the new mods in radius. E.g., Will of Blades notable had "5% inc movespeed", now it has "20% chance to avoid stun".

Now, if I change the name from Asenath to Balbala, keeping the same number, then logically it will only change the Keystone but not the mods : Dance With Death will become The Traitor (replacing Ghost Dance).
And of course, I can socket the Jewel anywhere and it will simulate the new mods.

2- Which Timeless Jewels will give a specific mod ?

In the other way, you can search what would be the best timeless jewel with specific criterias.

Say I want Cult of Ice notables (+1% max cold res, +25-30% cold res) in the radius of the Shadow socket. There is now a button under the skill tree to "Find Timeless Jewel".
In the search bar, the socket is actually referred as "Ghost Dance", because that's the closest keystone.

So I need a Glorious Vanity jewel. I choose Cult of Ice and I will get a list of all the jewels that will give me Cult of Ice. Even better, it will specify on which notables it will appear. In this case, the best jewel would be #6598, because it will give me 5 Cult of Ice in radius (from Master of Blades, Clever Thief etc.)

If I wanted Cult of Ice notables in the radius of the Ranger socket (aka Wind Dancer), the best number would be 6783, as it grants 4 Cult of Ice. Near the Agnostic, there would be 3 at best.

Amazing work indeed.

I have these four gems:

Cast when Damage Taken Support
Steelskin
Phase Run
Withering Step

Currently I have a 4-link helmet.

Do I have to spam fusings to get non-4-link helmet?

(Does it hurt to not self-cast the Phase Run and/or Withering Step? But trigger with the cwdt.)

Hi,

IMO, it's not good to have several skills triggered by CwDT because it will trigger them alternatively, with the cooldown each time. So they will not trigger often.
Steelskin is the priority. You can set Withering Step on left-mouse button, so it will be cast each time you move (the skill has instant cast, so you won't "lag").
Maybe you can link Phase Run to CwDT, but it's so brief, I'm not sure it will trigger at the right moment.

If you want to break your 4-link, you can go to the bench and craft 2 or 3-link, or just spam some fusings, it shouldn't take too much of them.
