Weekly Question + Crafting Thread – January 27, 2026

PoB questions:

1. Is there a way to socket support gems into ascendancy skills in pob yet?

2. Is the exposure calc in already? I don't see a box to tick anywhere.

Thanks for helping out!

anyone have an idea about budget to invest for Bear Rampage Titan?

Hey folks, got the following item I'm trying to craft myself:

Maji Talisman

+9 maximum rage

177% Increased physical damage (Fractured)

The process I'm currently doing is the following:

1. Greater chaos spam to get T1 raw physical
2. Desecrate suffix
3. Perfect exalt slam suffix with greater exaltation other results and pray for increased % phys on prefix
4. slam perfect essences for onslaught and +5 attack skills
5. Unveil desecration with echoes to get attack speed, in case it goes bad will use omen of light to remove it and restart.

All in all, anything I can do better here and that I'm missing? I'm playing an Oracle Werewolf right now, if it's relevant.

Have a question, I took dimensional weakspot on the tree for my walking calamity bear druid and I've also got a few penetration nodes. Does penetration take place after the enemies resistances are inverted or does penetration negatively impact taking that node? Logically i would think penetration would take place after the inversion, otherwise why have pen nodes on the tree on the way to dimensional weakspot, but I never know with these games.

I have 20 Divs and i need to craft a good quarter staff for my Gemling Tempest strike / Flicker strike, Any advice on how to start and get something decent? I think my current staff is +5 to melee gems, 400 lightning damage, 15 attack speed, 100 fire damage and +4% crit chance.

how cooked is the economy rn if i wanted to start the league for the first time?

was thinking of plant druid since i heard it doesn't have as bad gear requirements, but unsure if the inflation is too bad at this point with the temple

Can’t get couch co-op to work after following all of the guides. We’ve had p1 log into the game, make a character, get to lioneyes, navigate to the character selection menu but no option appears to activate the controller for p2.

We have also tried:

-Having p1 make a second character, get it to lioneyes, switch back to original character, navigate to selection menu

-Have p2 start the game from their play station profile, make a character, get to lioneyes. Have p1 log back in and invite p2’s character

-Leaving p2’s controller off until p1 has character selection menu open then turning on the controller

-Having p2 use a guest profile instead of their own

Please let us know what we are doing wrong! Any help much appreciated

Hey I’m considering making a frostbold comet pathfinder or a plant oracle. I picked up a spell level amulet with spirit and spell damage no cast speed or crit. Which build requires more cast speed and crit? Are both of them extremely expensive or is one slightly cheaper than the other?

So im playing temporalis blink choir. But I kinda want the coc comet oracle but keeping the temporalis for the blink bc I only go to maps now to farm crystals. Ive been thinking on how to incorporate the altar robe effects or basically bloodmage ascendancy. And I remember last league we had a build that was focused on undying hate timeless jewel “tecrod”. I wanna make this build but instead of life leech, Ill solve the cost with life regen instead. Can anyone confirm if this still works or did it die last league before I invest anything into it. I dont have pob so this is just theory crafted literally in my head thanks
