Trial of Sekhema's Farmer / Last Flame Runner

Outside of Relics, as I know relics do a lot of heavy lifting, whats a good build to run that primarily focuses on Sekhema Farming/Last Flame Running but can also do a little bit of mapping on the side?

I've always hated Sekhema's (mainly due to shit relics) though I've been getting better at it to the point now where I can do Level 1 and 2 pretty easily and Lvl 3 being a coin flip as I generally find Level 3 gives me bad RNG on rooms.

As a returning player, would there be any recommendations on what to run? I assume its going to be either a Caster (CoC Spark for wall bounce? or Witch Hunter for SorcWard)

LA Deadeye or COC Bloodmage. But honestly many characters could do it. The important thing is to be able to 1 hit clear everything and have huge dps against bosses.

For your relics you should buy 1x2/2x1 relics with dodge roll distance and movement speed to make your ruins quicker. Plan your rooms, always check the rooms that comes after the room you are planning to clear. Never ever decide based on the room type, try minimize the afflictions and choose those that are least affecting you.

For the last flame runn, I recommend to have blasphemy with temporal chains (slows monsters in your presence and makes it easier to avoid them) prepared for the rooms, and on the boss you can swap back to whatever you want.

If you can't kill the last boss in 2-3 second, don't even think about ruinning last flame.

I've never looked into it all that much, but I think acolyte of chayula was what many last flame runners used. Idk if that's still the case or not

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)
  • RNG - Random Number Generator or Random Number Generation, i.e. randomness or chance

With witch hunter your sorc ward takes damage before health so you don’t lose honour when hit unless hit big

Witch hunter oil grenade/incinerate. High evasion + good aoe + infinite damage means nothing touches you.

You can do Sekhemas with any class, it just depends on your budget for your build. You need to find a build that can clear screens and kill bosses fast. Then you try to hit 75% honour resistance with relics and add as much relic drop chance as you can afford.

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!
