Can I copy builds from poe ninja at the leveling stage from 1 to 90? Early act 1 to final interlude?
Hello! this is my CoC build atm, i was wondering if 4.7 aoe is 100% required for Deodres version? I want big booms but with my current gear i cant reach that mark (and keep 100% crit)
Is there anything in PoE 2 similar to spiritual command where you share attack speed or damage bonuses of minions to you?
Is there any ice mage build that is pretty simple to play? I really want to do an ice mage type of build with a staff or wand and just freeze everything while I walk around casting. If anyone knows of a build like that please let me know I looked and couldn’t find anything!
Does anyone have good build suggestions for Stormweaver or Chronomancer that don't use Comet?
I'm leaning towards Arc or Fireball. I've also tried testing a weapon-based Chronomancer (Ice Strike/Wolf), but I haven't found a setup I like yet.
Most build sites are lacking Chronomancer content right now, so any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
If I put chaotic freeze on CoC living bomb with blackflame covenant, will i build freeze when hitting the target with ember fusillade? like does the living bomb has to cause the ignite? or it doesnt work at all?
I've got a wand with +5 lightning skills, 30 % extra cold and lightning, crit chance for spells and I desecrated a prefix. My options are low tier mana/spell damage hybrid bleh, or 62% spell/minion damage, or 77% elemental damage. I'm thinking I should take the 77% elemental damage, or am I crazy?

any way to get a good amulet from this?
Is it possible to hit + skill level with desecrate? I have a staff that I picked up that has tier 2 extra fire/cold, t1 spell damage and t2 cast speed, wondering if I should try to hit it with a perfect exalt to see if it rolls + skill level of any kind or if I can just try to desecrate instead?

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?

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!
