How can i fix build while broke?

Hi all,

I am still fairly new to POE, this is my 3rd league total and i dont have many hours, this is my current build: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/BlueCats-1845/character/BlueBlueBluer

Building for Ice strike monk right now after doing campaign as Hollow palm, i need help with optimizing my build but my problem is that i cant build my temple because like an idiot i griefed myself by running a temple leech and now my level is wayy to high compared to what i have for gear and skill gems, now i am trying to get better gear and more slots for my gems but i am broke af and cant afford any of the good pieces i need following this build: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ronarray-ice-strike-monk

Is there any way to fix this or should i just go again fresh?

What are you trying to do that's having you feel stuck? Temple? Mapping?

There's no reason you should start from scratch even if you're playing in SSF. You just need gold to rebuild your skill tree. If possible, send me your username and I'll give you some divine items.

  1. What's your budget?
  2. You dont need to run the temple while building it (unless you want to move the architect). Just open and close it for destsbilization.
  3. Leech a bit more and reinvest in the equipment. You dont have to buy top tier equipment and can easily improve your current build by buying failed crafts or unoptimized items (as in, high eva and es armor with no resists or single resist) for cheap. People tend to pay like 10 divs per leecher and allow you to collect stuff worth less than divine, so you can make nice profit off leeching.
  4. You can also farm ToC fragments, 15 mins of BOOOORING gameplay for 20 divs. Just make sure you have some nice movies to watch while farming it, and with your current setup you still have to invest a tiny bit.

I would keep leeching from people's temples. People pay you ~15 divs to be a leech and you can pick up <1 Div loot. Convert those loot to divs to get decent gear easy and start farming whatever. Btw you dont need to build temple at all to further your char. Do the farms outside and youll stilll make bank.

I mean if it’s that bad just make a new character and don’t leech it…lol.

So i've gone through this thread after originally answering to one of your questions and to me it seems like you're fixed on one aspect of the game while having no grasp on its core mechanics. What i suggest now, just ignore the temple (unless you want to leech for some currency) and focus solely on completing other content first. This will give you good idea what to can do the game overall and will help you understand how to progress.

As of 0.4, there are following types of extra content:

  • abyss
  • breach
  • expedition
  • ritual
  • simulacrum

And ascendancy trials:

  • trial of chaos
  • trial of shekhema

And the burning monolith pinnacle.

Maps can also have these extra mechanics:

  • shrines
  • strongboxes (including unique ones)
  • essences
  • rogue exiles
  • runed monoliths
  • azmeri spirits

There are unique map locations you want to complete at least once (for atlas points):

  • untainted paradise -castaway
  • fractured lake
  • 2 more (dont remember their names) Each of these gives you 2 pts to the atlas, got to be completed once

Last 30 pts for your atlas are obtained via cleansing corruption on corrupted nexuses (red-glowing zones on your map)

Finally, some maps have deadly bosses, there are 2 types of these:

  • citadel bosses, drop fragments required for the burning monolith endgame content
  • deadly bosses where you need to do certain stuff (like finding some weird chimes on prior maps or moving wisps towards the boss location) which drop lineage gems (some of them are chase gems worth hundreds of divs)

I recommend trying all of these, and specifically not following any guide further as long as you dont have the basic grasp of what does what because any guide should be... well, just a guide, not something you follow blindly.

Edit: added essences to the list

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?

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!
