Hi all, gonna try this one more time!

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/EndieEm-2037/character/EndieEm current trash build

I have a couple solid Mori Invictus, a decent +3 skills amulet, a +2 skills amulet with 50ish spirit, obviously the gear in the current build. Also have a fairly nice ES robe with spirit. Have a couple solid staves (+5/+6, good rolls) as well. Oh, and a decent Choir of the Storm.

But holy fuck am I struggling non stop. Can't get the last ascendency for the big health boost, regularly die in plain t14 maps if I'm not running the Choir build, and my DPS is consistently garbage.

At one point I was fairly comfortable with about 20k tooltip DPS on Spark but sold a couple drops and had 50divs to play with. Tried out a couple different builds as a result and they are/were way worse than just running Choir. Not sure why I even bother with CoC as it barely ever procs.

I'm at the point where I need to either turn this around in a big way or just put the game down and never look back.

Any and all help appreciated, just please don't point me to a build with a bunch of variants and no explanations. I basically just need damage because having about 5% of what a lot of people are seeing is absolutely depressing. And somehow, not even sure how, but I can't even get my basic Spark back to a solid point. I had Spark at 20k and LB from choir near 30k and now I can't even get them back to 15k.

PS - thanks to the bro that helped me before. I was able to use those loot pieces to farm some divs before everything imploded.

Respectfully, you need a lot. You’re dying in T14s because your EHP is 6k and you’re miles off res cap.

How much currency do you have to play with? I would almost rebuild from the ground up.

Your wand has no spell damage on it. I’m certain you could buy a better one for a single divine.

Remove the Ventor’s and Kalanda’s Touch and get some cheap caster rings.

I’m no expert on Rathpiths but I don’t think that one is any good. I would ditch it for a rare focus with some spell damage, cast speed, levels, resistances etc. Whatever you can afford.

The very first thing I would do is go through the campaign again for your missing passive buffs. You’re missing the Molten shrine in the Desert Interlude, all the blank tattoos in the Hall of the Dead (Eye of Hinekora area), this also contains the pool where you get 5% max mana.

I presume you haven’t gotten the 2 free points from fighting the chaos monkey at the end and turning in the silver coin to navali.

I’d almost suggest just switching to a Choir setup with Arc in CoC instead if you really want to keep your current gear and easily cap resistances.

I have a build referencing this. If you’re interested in chatting about it dm me.

I can help with your 4th ascendancy when I get home and help you farm some currency. Just message me if you down for that

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?

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!
