Does anyone know a build with oracle temporalis coc comet build?

eastcoastloser•5 months ago•1

how can i proceed with this craft? i ideally want t1 attack speed and +5 attack skills but would be happy with a lesser tier of attack speed or even crit damage bonus.

my thought is to desecrate, slam with perfect exalt and pray for attack speed. if i dont hit then essence of battle and hope it removes the slam. if it hits the desecrate then whittle off slam hopefully and descrate/light of omen/abyssal echoes until attack speed. if it removes crit then fml.

appreciate any input, ty

edit: ~800div budget

How often does Thunderstorm hit against single targets?

It says there is a strike every 0.35 seconds, but a single target can only be hit every 0.5 seconds.

So, will a boss be hit every 0.5 seconds or will it be every 0.7 seconds (because the second strike happens when the boss is still in hit cooldown?)

Any strong and mobile melee class build suggestion, please?

I've played LA Deadeye and Blood mage this league, and I am looking to level my first melee class.
I enjoy fast mapping and 40+ abyss map farming.
My budget is ~20k divs, so shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks in advance!

What's the current metas for skellies/specters?

I’m new to Path of Exile, and even newer to crafting, and I can’t figure out a way to finish this with more finesse than just throwing Greater Exalts at it. Ideal finishers would be a second flat damage prefix, +2 projectiles and crit chance suffixes.

I used a Perfect Transmute, Perfect Augment, Perfect Regal, and Omen of Dextral Necromancy+Preserved Jawbone to get to this point.

Without +2 Projectiles, do I Fracture this? If I do, what does that actually accomplish, as I assume it’s likely to fracture a prefix?

My plan was to Omen of Light and re-desecrate a suffix again, then just spam Greater Exalts with Dextral/Sinistral Erasure I guess? That seems really random, and probably exceedingly expensive; I only have 229 Divines.

New to PoE2, looking for recommendations on class/build that is safe and a solid choice for HC SSF. Don't need a full guide or a PoB but some guidance in what class/build to search for.

Googling so far has not really yielded any good answers. There are multiple guides that mention HC SSF but its mostly that they got high rank as a HC SSF. All the gameplay is endgame, theres no explanation as to what makes them a good pick for HC SSF in particular.

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!
