COMET

This is my first leauge in poe2. I bought the game last leauge during abysall during the end of it. Any discussion is meaningful discussion as it helps me learn more about this game; experience and knowledge have superior value here.

So I was using a poisonburst oracle build earlier which was supergood on maps and even temple but struggled sometimes to kill a few specific set of mobs depending on variable such as temple mods and etc so I changed to a COC/COEA Comet oracle Build.

So the main difference I wanna talk about is like dps; in 2 different scenarios:

This is what am rocking and believe in even after constant disapproval from the general public who are playing and just follow people/guides/YouTube videos blindly. So I run SPARK, my comet dps is only 800k(Base) but am running it in COEA(people told me to run it in COC but it doesn't proc as much as it does in COEA); So the setup for COEA IS '2X comet, spell cascade, efficiency, lifetap. The main element is if you read the comet skill it says 11% chance to repeat when if you are using Lv21 +23% qual, along with spell cascade spawning 2 more meteors; giving it a 33% chance to repeat on hit and when pairing it with 2 comet skills raising it to 66% chance of repeating increasing the amount of comets spawn relatively insanely. This makes my 800k base and 2m fire infused outscale anyone running meteor with a high dps estimation but no procs very easily.
The build that everyone trying to follow trying to get the number as high as possible in the comet spell trying to do a whose sword is bigger competition.

What's your opinion about it, which one you think is better or there are any otger setups that someone else is running that are effectively better, comment and i'd love to learn and talk more about it.

Have you tried diallas desire instead of efficiency for more chance to repeat

hi, the 11% chance to repeat applies the the cast not individual comets. so it's 11% chance to repeat all 3 comets

also unless u gain energy far exceeding max energy single comet would consume, socketing 2 comets won't give u any gains since total energy needed to trigger COA also doubles.

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!
