CoC Builds Struggle w/ Omen of Light Farming?

Is anyone else struggling with amanamu void farming with a CoC build? I think the issue is when monsters have crit resistant modifiers... how are other CoC builds solving for this or do you just avoid omen of light farm? Seems like the biggest draw back of CoC builds seeing how i have zero issues with fully juiced temples and 1 shotting arbiter... i tried adding sceptre which enables CoEA but by doing so lose all the damage from my rathpith so only relying on CoEA against crit resist mobs feels so weak... i'm all templed out dropped 2 mirrors in my already and just exhausted by the gameplay and want to try something different now and running into a wall for omen of light farm

Never really struggled unless I have a headhunter which I just take off for mapping. Other than that ele weakness is usually enough to kill them without needing comets.

I got bored of playing coc on my Oracle in less than a week, jumping back into the private Timmy's HC league have reinvigorated the game for me. Recommend to give it a try if you're feeling burnt out :)

The main struggle for me is taking them out of the mist, never killing them, even with crit resist, how much dmg do you have on PoB?

I end up not farming abyss bc the mechanic of the mist is just too stupid and clunky for my liking, sometimes the mobs just won't move out, like me standing next to them outside the mist and still would not try to get to me, they would just not target me at all.

My CoC can clear amanamu mobs instantly before they spawn the void. This is such a huge improvement from my poison pf because it saves time from having to draw out mobs from void.

I haven’t been running into any issues with damage and my build isn’t optimized (probably around 1 mirror invested so far). I’m running gl1tched’s V3, which I think is more dps but less survivability than other versions (no mana remnants).

I did die on occasion die while trying to lure mobs out of void, until I realized it’s far more efficient to spam spark and kill before they can even breathe.

Not sure why you would struggle. I have a budget CoC build with ok gear. My comets are only at 800k plain and 1.7m infused dps and I have no issues with amunamus. If I don't pay attention the comets will auto target them and I get the lieges. I got two omens of light today in like 30 mins of mapping.

I quit farming lights when my damage got too high. Min/max is good until everything just falls over. Moved to rituals and expedition.

Yea, it can be frustrating at times but i dont mind crit resistance as much as them not walking out of their clouds/ or accidently oneshot them right when they spawn because my sparks is collecting energy in another screen…

I'm averaging about anywhere between 5-20 OoL and hour still using my blood mage cast on crit 'build' but had to turn off the comets as they were turning everything to Leige and it was to hard to control them. You're better off sniping them when they come out the cloud with another skill, I've been iceshotting them aswell with my Amazon with decent success, or getting them with a freezing mark

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
