I died and ragequit again (as I have done in every league). Left some goodies in the HC guild stash for you guys! Luckily my personality keeps me from becoming completely addicted to this game

Does Lightpoacher work with like any build? Or does the spirit burst scale particularly well with certain things like lots of ele dmg%. It's a neat item, love the screen clear, but I don't know if it'd work well on either of the characters I've got right now, and I was just going to save the EK Inquis stuff for next league at this point.

Edit: except maybe it won't be around next league since it's an abyss item hmmmmm

Lightpoacher is a pure physical spell.

Lightpoacher is a pure physical spell.

Isn't it really popular with EK builds that use full conversion and therefore scale with spell/ele dmg? That's why I was curious. The details of conversion and what applies when are still a bit iffy for me because I've done mostly melee phys builds.

Yeah of course, they put physical to lightning in the helm with gmp and volley/lmp to greatly increase clear speed. Spiritburst doesn't do much for attack build though obviously.

So what are the best boss melting builds right now? I know barrage is still quite good but also really expensive to gear, especially if you want to go bow and use kaoms and weapon swap 2 6l bows for aoe and boss. The ele claw molten strike seems quite strong and I'm lvling but not sure how it is with reasonable league gear. A friend said that the retch builds are probably the best non standard boss killers but I couldn't really find anything updated for it.

Molten strike requires the helm enchant like barrage so it's not really cheap either.

So is there a foolproof way to extend Elder influence? The thing is that elder's influence must be connected (otherwise it will keep the largest component I believe?). Happened to me twice now that I did a shaper occupied adjacent map in order to push elder into that area but shaper expanded on some other territory as well thereby disconnecting the elder zone and shrinking it massively. I mean yeah I could count the links and always try to improve the weakest one but that makes it very hard to move it where I want it to be. So is there some "rule" on how shaper moves his influence tiers or is it random?

Getting red tier shaper orbs seems to be a huge hassle this league and I haven't seen people selling them at all in the past few days...

Edit: How does the shaper orb progression work precisely? I've seen people claim that you cannot obtain a tier x shaper orb if you have not unlocked all shaper orb tiers lower than x (i.e. if you don't have a tier 8 shaper orb but clear a tier 10 that can drop a shaber orb you will get the tier 8 one). Is this bound to the atlas of the map owner? In other words, can you buy a t14 shaper orb from somebody who's meeting the above requirements?

Why would you be able to, they are quest items. Maybe he meant sextants? idk.

Getting your Shaper's Orbs this league is definitely hard this league, you need to push Elder influence to the higher maps over and over. Though I did it pretty quickly by buying the maps needed. Like I got one at Promenade, then pushed him back there. After that I completed Racecourse, where the next Shaper's Orb was afterwards, etc...

What I meant was:

If somebody has a map set up to drop a shaper orb apparently all people in the map will get a memory fragment if they don't have a shaper orb of that tier yet. At least people have been selling the kills claiming you can get the orb this way.

But apparently what I said earlier is true, i.e. you will get the highest shaper orb that you have not received yet if the the qualifying map has higher tier.

Man, streamers get to red maps in like 2 or 3 days and I've been playing for like a month and I barely screatched tier 8. I must be doing something wrong.

Do you play 8h per day and have years of experience in the game?

Sometimes it's worth it to buy a couple red maps to save the time of having to work up to them.

This league in particular is very good for magic find. Since I've started playing it's been fairly cyclic in nature, with 2.0 being really good for rarity + a bit of quant, 2.2-2.6 being about as much clear speed as you can get, 3.0 being about quant more then anything. Builds like windripper, which is what I started to get currency this league with is particularly good. At the end of this league I'm gonna do a write up on the builds and paths I took to make a fortune, cause I have one.

How do you figure this stuff out? So you just do it by yourself or is there a forum where people talk about the new best builds and strata before they become guides on the poe forums or something? I never really know what to do, so far this league ive just farmed maps and made alts.

Would storm burst - cast while channeling - magma orb work with elemental equilibrium you think?
Eh is there any reason whatsoever to use storm burst over lightning tendrils, other than maybe range?

(I'm thinking about a cwc magma orb elementalist. my idea from the start was that both bagma borb and stors bors are projectile, aoe skills with similar cast times, so they would benefit greatly from EE and having similar support gems.)
