This is for HCSSF.

So for starters, I have my heart set on shield wall witch hunter.

The idea of armour/ev, spectral ward and shield wall sounds epic to me. I'm just not sure about the optimal way to go about it.

I am trying really hard to cook this myself, I would just like to learn more about armour/ev and how to scale shield wall in HCSSF.

Any guides related to ssf shield wall, witch hunter, bleed or any other cool tips would be appreciated on this journey!

Hi, Id like to learn crafting my own gear and practice all sorts of crafts.

What would be some fun build that does not rely on uniques?

Also general SSF tips are welcome!

I’m a 95 COC comet stormweaver build and have pretty decent gear I am able to t15 and t16 maps without issues and I’ve finally got around 150 divines for the first time ever lol. But I have spent probably around 200 divines on my gear and gems just buying things as soon as I could afford them.

I was debating between rakiatas flow or a headhunter belt. This is only my second season and my last character I only got to 80 so ive never owned either of these pieces lol.

I have been leaning more towards rakiatas flow but was looking for some opinions on which one I should take.

My cold infused base spark is around 120k dps but with procs and everything it can get up around 350k.

And base fire infused comet is 190k.

Let me know what you think!

Thank you!

So I'm pretty new to PoE 2, I've been following along a build based on a Wyvern Oracle using Rend for clear and Fire Breath for single target damage.

Single target damage is great, no issue whatsoever. The problem I'm having is clear. From the build video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_7wbh0Y4rG8), it looks like Herald of Ice is really helping with clear and getting huge pops which is what I want. But no matter what upgrades I've made, I just can't get it to be consistent.

As I'm not as familiar with PoE 2, just wanted to check if there's something glaringly obvious that I'm missing or haven't spec'd or something or whether the clips in the video are bait.

Any help would be appreciated!

I am very deep into optimizing CoC gemling.

Currently I am struggling on massive expedition juicing with alders saga, some maps with 70 effectiveness + effectiveness/2 map mod tablets, have too much life.

I think part of the issue is my arc doesn't proc consistently enough on these mobs due to the bubbles blocking spark. Is there a way around this?

The offensive mods I have issue with are just mana drain which I blink out of.

Appreciate feedback.

Hello everyone!
I'm a completely new player, so I still have a lot to learn

Could anyone please take a look at my build and tell me what is wrong with it? Why isn't Spark proccing Comet very often?

I thought capping my critical hit chance to 100% would fix the problem, but it didn't. I just tried a 200% Delirium map and it takes way too long to complete

Thank you so much!

Hello everyone,

I've been following the typical build for grim pillars maps feel okay though I think they could be better. I noticed that my damage on poe2 ninja is a lot lower than other people's for my grim pillars, is something wrong with my setup or gear? Not really sure where to go from the gear I have either besides maybe a better amulet and getting some jewels.

Here's my poe2 ninja profile: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/hyenapack-6773/runesofaldur/character/DanteTheDruid

I wanna do a witchhunter where one weaponset is purely dedicated to clear and where one is purely dedicated for rare mobs/bosses. The first one I will do with Hollow Palm Culling Strike, but what is an ez way to kill bosses?

I have 450D Budget and would also consider going pathfinder, when one Concoction is a great bossing tool

WTF is this build?
I am using Frost-wall with Verglass support on spark to gain crazy amount of cold damage everytime i break the frost wall
This is achievable with the gemling node Advanced Thaumaturgy which gives frost-wall 700% increased Ice-crystal LIFE
You can also use Dialla support + Paragon instill on amulet for extra 10% quality and boost the ice crystal life to 800% this with Glacier support will give you around 400-600k damage on spark
The build has perma freeze with spark/ice-nova/comet everything that get's hit will be frozen
Also stacking mana and using 100% damage is taken from mana before life to make my self semi unkillable with 1.6k mana regen
And on top of this i am using temporal chains + enfeeble in blasphemy to make my self even more tankier
So far this setup can do 15mod Aldur expedition with 0 issues and 0 deaths
Only thing that can kill you is the degen monsters drop which is easy dodge-able and with this high regen going out of it you will be insta full mana
The build is also using Adonia's ego for large amount of elemental damage and you also have perma elemental archon
Current setup is around 3-4k divines but you can do it for way less and still perform very well with Headhunter
Overall this is one of the strongest expedition farming builds with 100% success rate so far

Hello, here is my build:
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Cavemoth-6243/runesofaldur/character/missusslave

I have been following the fubgun iceshot build for the general playstyle and I have reached a point where it seems like any upgrades that I can apply either cost 300 divs or are barely a sidegrade. I feel like this shouldn't be the case, and is more that I am not very knowledgeable with what modifiers actually matter the most, what modifiers can actually roll, etc etc. I currently have about 120 divs but I am sure i could get up to 150 if I converted everything. Any tips would be welcome, thank you!

After 1000 hours in poe 2, I’d like to experiment a little bit with my own builds or at least go for more customization. When it comes to defensive layers, I think I have solid intuition here what to aim for. My biggest dilemma is how much dps I should aim for.

This season I’ve played Palsteron’s grim pillars totems. I’ve invested over 1k divs into the build and can easily clear all of the juiced content (200% delirious, juiced expeditions etc). I know that dps wise, something like this would be sufficient. Unfortunately, due to how the damage is dealt (creating pillars and destroying them with another skill), I have no clue how to estimate my current dps realistically. Maybe someone has already figured this out or has an idea of helpful heuristics?

All in all, my question is - how much dps should I aim for to breeze through juiced content or how much hp I can expect from juiced bosses/rares?

I was convinced I was ready to try making my own build, but I am in desperate need of some actual experience. My vision was tanky thorn bleed huntress and it looked good on paper until I faced a single pack of enemies in T15. Is this salvageable?

Are these all just additive? With a recent war cry and a 20% chance to block would it be 6+30+20+8+10+20=94?

• Enemies you curse take 6% increased damage
• 30% increased damage with war cries
• 20% Increased global physical damage
• 8% increased damage for each time you’ve warcried recently
• 10% increased physical damage
• 1% increased damage per 1% chance to block

Seriously what is with all these post saying "I have a MB, HH, and 4000 divines... what build can I play that can clear Trial of Sekhemas in act 2?"

Like, you have more currency to play with than 99% of all players?! Play whatever you want dude, you clearly know more than we do.

Sincerely, someone who has less than 100 divines to their name.

Got into crafting my own gear this league and built this myself, pretty proud of it. Also got really lucky, dropped Mageblood, Rakiatas and Atziris Communion, and on top of that dropped a Hinekora's Lock right at league start when it was worth like 150 div, which I used to fund crafting the rest of my gear.

Some fun interactions in this build. I get low life bonuses from Atziris Communion, and I've got just enough regen to counter the 10 stacks of Demon Form. During life recoup the excess regen actually heals my ES instead, which gets amplified by Arcane Surge off my gloves. Can go more into the build if anyone wants.

Clears 200% Deli 6 mod T16s no problem damage wise. Survivability is where it falls apart sometimes, I just randomly die and can't tell what got me.

Best build I've made so far honestly, but I wanna push it further, that's the whole reason I play this game lol.

Anyone got ideas how I can shore up the defenses without losing too much damage? Or even ideas for other Improvements?

Hi All, as the title indicates, I'm currently playing a version of Rue's BLS Autobomber and I'm a little squishier than I'd like. Even just doing abyss on semi-juiced T15s, I struggle with some hits, but doing T16 grand expedition is almost undoable for some reason. Am I missing something? Did I set my expectations too high with this one?

Here's my current build: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Drunkenlight-0122/runesofaldur/character/Still_Not_Drunk

Please note, I'm running wolf pack now just because it's a bit more comfy. I tried swapping it for temporal chains, and even enfeeble. Recently I tried dropping both and swapping out my crown for a 2 socket and ditched one of the spi runes for elem damage, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I've also swapped out Irongrasp for a 1k+ ES chest, but that halved my damage, which didn't help matters at this juncture.

Any help would be appreciated.
