Oracle CoC need help! :-)

Hey! I need help with my Oracle CoC build. This is from Travic, https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/cast-on-crit-double-comet-oracle-druid-rain-down-infinite-comets-on-your-enemies. With some "inspirations" from others aswell.

Doing temple is fine, but for bossing and harder maps survivebility is a problem. Im trying to figure out how i can progress my build. And im not swimming in Divine's. Can anyone take a look here and help me? If something's wrong with the build, and how to progress it further. I've been stuck at lvl 97 long now. Would like to see 98....

That build guide is just full of errors. Temple is fine because you are carried by Headhunter. Having 2 comets on CoC simply doubles the energy needed to trigger them. This is only done when you have overwhelming damage so that you overflow the 300 energy required for comet from a single hit. Otherwise you are just wasting a support slot for zero gain. And no, comets from CoC cannot gain energy for further triggers. And they are taking a 10% crit chance node over 20% damage after dealing critical, on an oracle? Let's just say follow a different guide since this person doesn't really know what they are doing. Best of all, learn the game mechanics and make your own choices.

Ok, you have a couple of key errors for this kind of build, the thing is you will need to invest some currency.

Are you using a Covenant chest without Spell leech? That's your first big error, a good covenant should have 3 things:

  1. Spell leech
  2. Life cost efficiency
  3. It CANNOT have mana cost converted to life cost.

Then you should get a sceptre with at least 200 spirit, preferably with either purity of Ice/fire/lightning, and an amulet with +3 to spell gems and at least 50 spirit.

Once you done that, you can actually drop that Alpha helmet, and use a Vertex with at least +3 to all skills, +4 would be the goal tho, but a +3 can help you in the mean time, and get a lvl 21 CoC, either buy a lvl 21 or get a lower lvl corrupted CoC gem with "+1 lvl from corruption" and then lvl it up to lvl 20.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • CoC - Cast on Critical Strike (trigger mechanic, commonly used with Comet and other spells) (Wiki)

physical spell on your wand doesnt help at all, first spell, cold, light fire damage..

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

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!
