Looks great! Did you try new shield Cowards Wail?

Did not know about it. Interesting shield. The spectral totems need to be counted seperately though. Otherwise the shield is unusable.

They do not count as summoned totems, but other modifiers that apply to totems will apply to spectral totems. Looks like +3 totems in hard fights for 8 sec.

I bought a shield for myself. You are right they are a great addition while bossing. They are seperate stacks. At times I had 13 totems out that way.

Man what a league!

I dropped Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks yesterday while doing Destructive Play farming currency.

The Einhar beasts finally work on trade and I bought 8 beasts to level Awakened Lightning Pen and Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks to 5/20.

The Cowards Wail shield is very very nice. It never procs while mapping but it procs when we need it the most in bossing scenarios or if a hefty AoE wipes all totems. I like it alot. Has nice Armour too.

Farming Destructive Play and T17 drops is amazing. I am basically selling shovels to all the endgame farmers.
I already bought the Forbidden jewels for "Ritual of Awakening" for 60c and 1d each. That allowed me speccing into Sanctuary of Thought.

Next to Runegraft of the Warp I am now using Runegraft of Refraction. I bought it for 144c. It has one very important tidbit! It sets the projectile to 1, fork to 1 and chain to 1. It makes using "Chain support" impossible since the limit is 1.

It does not matter. Since I grabbed the chill cluster using Hypothermia at all times is just an amazing substitution and I get 17% perma chill.

Oh right. I dropped Ice Golem for Precision 21/20. I trade a bit of life to only have to use Frenzy next to totems. Rest is automated.

Endgame goals:

- Need 5 more levels
- Buy/Craft a 8 passive lightning damage cluster with "Scincilating Idea"
- Buy/Craft a very good wand
- Buy a very good rare jewel or Unnatural Instinct
- Buy a very good abyss jewel

Nearly there. This is my final stretch goal for this league. The build already feels amazing. The hidden star of the show is "The Sorrow of the Divine". It fixes lightning recovery and puts a layer of energy shield protection on top.

--update

I reached all goals but missing 4 levels. Destructive Play is basically printing money. No big ticket but a shit ton of small ticket stuff. I had no problem buy all items and once I reached 96 I could switch to the large cluster. The last 4 points are whatever.

I bought two good grafts with attack/cast speed. The 50% is still very much noticable in general mapping. Makes Frenzy feel even nice and Shield Charge.

Jolt is the best graft for us. The buff is amazing and we stack it with Frenzy.
I get roughly 29% more damage from the grafts alone.

I haven't done every change you've had but I've followed some of your changes Zorker and oh man, I'm having a blast.

I'm farming harbies because I like them and is decent gold/exp and before doing those changes, I was limited to a certain pair of open maps because I could die very easily and new breach is moving mobs so is easy to have a lot of harbies on one point.

After the flesh and flames, sorrow of the divine, watcher's etc, I not only stopped dying but I could survive some incursion and missclicks inside those harbie parties . People use to love builds due to damage but I love tanky/semi tank builds and this is one of those at least for maping. I've been thingking on removing those boots from some leagues ago and you showed me how to do it.

The new shield also shines for farming content like harbies and essence, bevause the spectral ones can dps inside the war zone.

I love this build and for me this is the best iteration of it.

I'm following your other changes and they look interesting too.

What a league indeed!

Wiki says "Split (e.g.Fury Valve, Splitting Steel, Sniper's Mark: Only one split projectile will be created targeting one enemy."

Seems like you lose ALL the extra splits and just get one. Looks like you're losing all those splits for 2 chains: the split one that is like a chain that divides a projectile and the +1 for the runegraft. If you ask me, is not worth it, at least at first glance.

Edit: the wiki is citing this forum post: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3872638

Hmmm. Ok I will check it using Brutality and Piscator. That sounds odd.

You guys are right. It is hidden in a second tooltip only visible in the character details. WTF man.



PSotA does not have the projectile like Frenzy where it says max 1. It just set it to that and overrides Fury Valve.

So I went from my initial 3 split + chain support to that Runegraft and basically got 1 split 1 fork and 1 chain. That is bullshit and I will unspec the mastery. 1d down the drain I guess. :D

I will slot in chain support for mapping again.

This is the tooltip after changing Hypothermia to pierce support for mapping and removing the mastery. 3 split and 2 chain. I basically gimped myself. Thank you for bringing that up.



Fury Valve is still nuts. Well I could use the mastery and a different amulet. That would give me no split but 1 fork and 1 chain. Nahh.
