I sped up the boring parts. What nerfs?

Thank you for the kind words <3 So I would never play HC, but that aside, you can hard stack shield with Ghostwrithe and Atziri's Disdain and then get all the passives for ES, if you do this and get Life+ES on gear, I think you can get 10-15k+ ES maybe more. Then grim feast, you can have like 20-30k ES in mapping. I clear T15 up to lv82 easily, bosses as well, but I still die on occasion, often my fault, but often some BS. I also run it more damage heavy so only 1k HP +4-5k ES 2.5-3k Mana, If you play slower, more tanky (means less damage) and dodge boss mechanics, I could see it working as a HC character. Now comparing other builds, that depends which build, there are many way stronger builds, I don't think this build is anywhere near top end of the builds right now. Is it good, maybe, not top 10 for sure, but its definitely fun & satisfying for me.

@ Thank you for your detailed explanation! I’ll aim for this build! However, items on Hardcore are still ridiculously expensive as always. The Fire Flower Amulet was 2 divines… ( ‘ᢦ’ ) I’m planning to focus on Energy Shield at first and then shift toward damage later on!

What is your comet average damage? Are you having issues with not enough comets or not enough damage per comet? Maybe not enough mana to sustain comets? Also Passive tree, what does it look like? Generally, the best way to scale damage is Wand, Sapphires and Passive tree points into crit/crit damage and/or cold/lightning damage, assuming you are also running Archmage. Max quality your Cast on Minion death and Archmage gems improves damage. If you share your gear/build I can have a look and advise you on where you can get more damage. I went through this myself so I get you bro.

@@ChaseDmage my comet damage is around 100k and when is with boss , cast on minion isnt working good , but there is no problem with mapping is so stable and fast. my last fight was iron citadel boss and with 8sec of time freeze i only deal 20% of his full life

I didn't actually say the build was my own original ideas, but I guess you didn't watch the video 😅

@@ChaseDmage ignore the dumbass hes just butthurt u got attention, appreciate the video keep up the good work

With 316h you've gotten more than enough entertainment to justify the purchase. At least that's what I told myself 🤣 but be smart with your stash tab purchases. You can go for cost efficiency VS space efficiency VS focus on convenience.

@ChaseDmage Yeah exactly my thought they deserv it and i need the stash tabs kinda so i dont have to sort that often. Got enpugh stash tabs but want more for selling and efficiency, the sell tab is full atm.

I must agree, item pricing has gone through the roof, but at the same time, you can still find good items for 5ex or less. It just takes more time using trade site instead of playing the game and that part sucks.

It's based on a fallacy though... A lot of early game prices where cheap because people didn't understand how much money would be generated running maps, and ex where severly overvalued. Right now the market grew and you have different budget (1-10 aug, 50 aug, 1 ex, 3-10 ex, 15-30 ex, 50-60 ex, 1d, 3-5d, more) more adjusted to the actual drop rates.

@ 100% bro. I tried upgrading some gear last night, my 15-20ex gear only upgrades by spending at least 1-2 divs.

Lv20 Gem for Comet, with +4 from wand so 24. Use inspiration support gem if you having mana issues. The reason my mana doesn't get depleted is because I have a lot of regen, mana on kill from rings and Mana on kill from Sapphires, before that I also had mana issues.

@ChaseDmage yea i understood that when i observed your mana regen. How about the sapphires you use?

​@@YTStorag3probably recover 1-2% on kill jewels. You can really get 5 or 6 of those and it makes a big difference. They sell for pretty cheap unless you also try to get increased mana regen as well.

@ansizfark yea i saw some in the market. Too bad their only good for mobs if without mana regen.m, but that's where it gets expensive.

You are right, I did not explain the interaction fully. Will improve in the future :) Here is the explanation: We need FireFlower because of the Necromantic Talisman Passive (it moves amulet effect to minions) and FireFlower has "Take 100 Fire Damage when you Ignite an Enemy". This means that Minions have this effect, you ignite, minions, which are your raging spirits take damage, then they die, giving energy to Cast on minion death and the rest is just rain of comets. It won't work without, it's the only item that is 100% necessary.

@@ChaseDmage I got it now. Thank for make it clear for me.

Glad you like it. We need FireFlower because of the Necromantic Talisman Passive (it moves amulet effect to minions) and FireFlower has "Take 100 Fire Damage when you Ignite an Enemy".

Oh that is facts, game is very badly optimized and runs like shit. My hardware is old by today's standard, but PoE2 runs extra bad. Most other games run fine, or at least acceptable FPS. Thanks for sharing, now I know for a fact it's not just my hardware showing its age. Are your settings all max on 4080S ? Does it drop below 60fps?

@ChaseDmage it doesn't drop below no, but definitely drops 40-50 fps. Seems mainly fire though yeah. What's weird is it didn't do it 2 weeks ago

Glad you liked it. Yeah this build is pure satisfaction. You really don't need 2 cast on minion deaths because you simply cannot sustain the rain of comets with your mana. You could maybe try lower level comets but why bother, 2 comets doing 50k or 1 doing 100k, results are same. Also use the Inspiration support gem, that gem helps so much with mana issues.

Appreciate the support 💖 Make sure to let me know if you'd like me to cover some topic, or anyway I could improve.

- Update GPU - Buy new PC/GPU/CPU - Wait for GGG to optimize the game (it runs poor) - Lower everything to lowest setting (helps but not much, makes it somewhat playable though) - Play at lower resolution - Use Flame Wall instead (Didn't make much difference for me on performance, but made build slower) That's pretty much it, my 1080ti struggles very much at 2k resolution with everything lowest possible. If I play at normal settings, I play slideshow version of the game.

Glad you like it, I've been trying to make chrono build that works since launch as well. You can find the written guide for the build here: maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/o5f9a0zq

@ thank you so much brother

What do you mean by non normal boss? I'll try to upload a run where I do a Delirium or Breach with Overwhelming Presence and igniting still works, maybe not as effective as normal maps, but it really makes a difference. I hope they fix this bug in the upcoming patch.

@@ChaseDmage This is my experience as well, if you go into trials for example most of the mobs don't get ignited whether or not I have Overwhelming Presence

U have to have enough mana to do it when the skill got full energy. So as much as skill u put in the cast on u have to know how much total mana u have to spent on those skill u put in there. Example u only have 300 mana left then u reach full enerygy to cast them but u put in there 1 skill with 180mana and 1 skill with 160mana so they only cast 1 skill ramdomly. Not 2 of them at the same time.! So at this point u have to try improve your maximum mana or regen mana rate to reach it full or only have 1 skill if cant at this time. Since u come to endgame whenever u upgrade the lv of the gem skill. The mana u spent is upp. So try to lower your skill with lower lv if u want it work. And 1 more thing that i noticed that if u look at any spells skill they have the skill cast time-that the exactly energy u need to reach to cast the skill with Cast on.! Example first one is 0.80 time and the 2nd skill is 1.20 then the energy have to reach to make the cast on work is 200.! ( but the comet is exactly 300energy by there self 😂) so take longer to get full the energy tho!

​ ​ @hieutitonz4968 Also brings a good point, if you don't have mana to sustain the comet spam, then it might appear like your ignite are not working. I ran and recorded a full lv80 4 stage Trial of Sekhemas and Igniting with Presence works for sure, or at least I notice a major improvement. Will edit and upload tomorrow.

The problem i was having wasn't that they don't ignite. The problem was that when the minions ignited they weren't taking the self damage like they should vs certain mobs in special content. In the patch notes they are applying a change to fireflower to fix an issue, I'm curious to see if this will also fix the issue where the mobs weren't taking damage

Trust me when I say this, you don't wish you were Chrono, Stormweaver is about 1000x better at the moment. I also cover the problem you described at the end of the video. The solution to this is Overwhelming Presence that needs 30 spirit.

@@ChaseDmage i think chrono is better. The build doesn't need damage. It's got that in spades. Chrono resetting mana on bosses would make bossing super smooth. Interesting I'll look into presence.

oop hang on, I saw something at the end of your video that might help it (?)

Do you reckon a level 8 overwhelming presence will solve the not being able to ignite to the breaches and the such?

I had the exact issue as well, the only way I could solve it was using Overwhelming presence, any level seems to be fine. I tried lv8 and 9 and both were fine, depends on your strength stat. Only issue is that it forces you to have 30 extra spirit, and with Grim Feast, Archmage, CoMD, and Blink, you really need to get extra spirit and that becomes pricey. I talk about this at the end of the video.

@@ChaseDmage oh yeah I have enough for it. Do you recommend any support gems to add to it?

@@phiperplays For Overwhelming Presence the only good options require more spirit, like Clarity or Vitality, Cannibalism, Herbalism and the latter are also not really useful.

Added this to my to do list. Thanks for the idea.

His Body Armour

@@barrak999 thanks yeah i figured it out after, i was like how is he so tanky!

Yeah it's the chest + stacking HP and a few Passives into Energy Shield. What you see is one of the less tanky variation, you can easily get 7k+ Shield with just the chest and passives, then when mapping Grim Fest can double that to 14k Shield. There is also another way using Atziri's Helmet as well, I simply was lucky enough to get Ghostwrithe chest as I was leveling so I didn't even know about the helmet till later. Here is the link to trade for it: www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/YrdrBOkhY

I haven't reached those yet, but I don't see why it shouldn't be able to. You might have to play the boss mechanics like intended as this build is not nearly as broken as some others that allow you to completely ignore boss mechanics. You can check out my other videos of gameplay, there are a few clips from T15 lv79-81 bosses there, they die without moving.

Only Move Speed on Boots that can roll +35%, few other items but other than Blink + Boots Movement Speed, nothing else at the moment.

@@ChaseDmage cool. thanks for responding. having run with it. Thanks man

The meta is a bit stale, everyone copying the same thing with spark etc. Hard to come up with something different. Polcirkeln ring is something I've been looking at as well. Have you noticed that even though you shatter mobs, the on death still happens, it just not visible anymore. I died more than once after comet shatters everything, then I go loot, and die. What defensive route did you go with ? Are you also running the super long Time Freeze with Blashp and Temporal? Almost perma freezing bosses is crazy. I am yet to see a greater jewel. I actually purchased one for 2 divs yesterday from the exchange, but I am waiting for patch notes before I use it.

@@ChaseDmage agreed but if history repeats itself Spark will get axed to hell theres a full page on spark and its nerfs through the years more than any skill so i always stay away CoMD Comet with flower is pretty insane im still rolling with pretty garbage gear imo outside of the main uniques im using are pretty huge for clear and damage conversion (Proper 84% con Blueflame gloves to make fireball matter outside of SRS, Fireflower for obvi reasons, POLC honsetly i havent died to ANY mobs since making this swap wand (17% dmg extra L, 27% spell dmg, 51% cold dmg, 28 MM, +3 all spell, 49%crit, 21% cast) sceptre (66% spirit, 20MM, 59% mana reg plus garbage stats) belt, chest, helmet, 2nd ring are very based garbage just for life, res cap, mana etc im lvl 75 ive only ascended 2x (stuck going further in maps till i find better gear/WAY POINTS ACTUALLY DROPPING) with that being said im stay away from time freeze for that purpose freezing a boss in place for longer than 5sec is crazy and GOING to get nerfed its far too powerful imo and we know what GGG does to powerful shit lol Blasph and temp are the perfect defensive route in my opinion gives you soooooo much time to react to things around you seeing as movement in POE2 is SHIT and mobs and bosses seems to have a far better speed but once i find/buy the proper jewels (4% curse affect 10% aura affect) and going (slowed mag, Curse effect, aura effect) in the tree plus your jewels can lock mobs from moving/acting which paired with polc ring makes it so on death affects cant happen cause a) they cant act, 2) they shatter on death reduces yellows to about 75-85% from moving and acting and Boss to about 55-65% to act which is balanced imo and not broken i still need higher life, mana, dmg i can clear mobs but when it comes to bosses its gets tricky atm

ALSO BIIIIIGGGG SIDENOTE what ive found with running blueflame and polc my GPU doesnt take a massive hit like it did without it im thinking becuase POE2 doesnt havent to calc dmg cause things just shatter instead of calc the dmg to death to put in perspective before the changes it really is unplayable mind you ahaha i have a 1650 setup

Sounds like you also reached the damage issue stage. Best way to improve damage is Archmage + Mana + Sapphire gems + Cold/lighting damage, these gave me enough damage to push further and get final Ascendancy points 5-6. Took me 3 tries in total, first I failed coz I did not have enough Honour, second I failed because I did not have enough damage. Third, boss died in almost no time because I finally fixed damage. I highly recommend swapping wand out for one without + All spells, you don't want your Raging Spirit to get that + extra level from wand, makes dying for them a bit harder and whole build slower.

Are you resistance capped with blueflame and polc ring? I tried adding Blueflame but then I really needed expensive items to get resistance cap on rest of gear.
