poe 3.28 mirage | the server obliterator v3 | spark jiquanis 1b dps | tanky variant pob overview

#the server obliterator - is this belt the cause of our server issues? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------- #video 3 (pob over only, 3 variants) https://youtu.be/z_581rWayrU -------------------------------------------------------- #video 2 (spark of the nova giga dps) https://youtu.be/HY-fvtuB42U -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- #video 1 (shock nova of procession) https://youtu.be/DcF6DC6nAHg -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #intro - Waaaaay more expensive than Spark Swap. Also waaaay tankier. Max hits = at least doubled. 96% spell suppress, 73% chance to evade, a lot more leech. Also maybe double the dps... Another huge change it's not possible to sit and sustain casting for long periods anymore. You need to be hitting something. #loadout -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Jiquanis Tanky (v3) - You are using life to cast with no life regen - watcher's eye will sustain casts when hitting stuff. Otherwise use instant flasks. OR swap to whispers of infinity - Watchers eye - most important mod = life on hit vitality, then chaos res, then discipline - need more es regen? (shavronnes ring) - righteous fire sustainable with discilpine mod, or max fire on a couple rare jewels. - FF combo is super expensive. If you are not doing content with lots of chaos damage you might be able to skip it. Could also go CI and drop the auras. OR excommunicate? lol - make sure you have two crusader items for bound by destiny, otherwise run rare jewel - animate guardian consider garb of the ephemeral if tanky enough. If not tanky enough consider mask of the stitched demon Budget? Where can I skimp out? - chest plate you want 1k+ es, int is always good but the %int and + int gems is mostly just extra dps - Amulet - want attributes and int, you don't need BIS simplex. Eyes of greatwolf are very good, %attributes + global defense - emperors mastery - swap with rare jewel - int, es, max fire res, crit multi, proj speed, etc - rings priorities - enough chaos res for cap, and all attributes for str, dex req. then cast speed, intelligence, crit mult - Can't afford Searing Purity FF? -----> Use a chestplate that has chaos damage does not bypass energy shield when not on low life. Lose Pain Attunement. Drop More Duration in immortal call link. Put sniper mark in there. Put Enlighten level 4 with discipline etc. Lose nimbleness (caster mastery) wheel. Allocate leadership wheel and life reservation 20% mastery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Frostmage - Not covering this in depth, this is about 1/10th the dps of the Spark Swap loadout. And similar tanky levels as Jiquanis Tanky. Cheaper by a decent amount than Jiquanis Tanky. You can perma cast on this setup. Try it out if you want to be snowflake. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Energy Blade... - Not covering... Has 1/2 ish dps of Spark Swap loadout. Similar tank levels as Jiquanis Tanky. You can perma cast. It's using the nerfed energy blade RIP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scroll down for video 2 content ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #intro - Taking server obliteration up two or ten notches. Instant killing / phasing pretty much every boss in the game. Max hits and recovery went down, but you don't need it if everything else is already dead! #notable stuff - spectres - swapped the guardian turtle for a spectral leader (20% action speed) (you need to find it in nightmare maps or.... other areas but just do nightmares) (I will show in the youtube video what it looks like, it was really hard to find an image on it for some reason.) - i swap frostblink of wintry blast for normal frostblink if i need more control of my position - using more lightning converted to chaos - I tested vs uber maven and wanted instant full stacks of resonance. This conversion seems to work well. - it's a spark build, so stacking duration and projectile speed and a few projectile pierces through the tree / clusters #loadout - Spark Swap (v2) big differences from spec 2 = - cluster jewels, - rings, - scion area on passive tree, (might of the meek + unnatural instinct + light of meaning) - using frostblink of wintry blast instead of lightning warp because increased duration - differences from spec 2 - half the regeneration, ~15% lower max hits, dps * 5 (only * 2 in pob, but alt shock nova overestimates pob dps because it assumes all overlaps hit i think) if you are doing content with a lot of chaos damage, use light of meaning chaos resistance. to calculate watcher eyes turn on the zealotry / wrath aura in skills section. Spectre aura doesn't seem to calculate in pob - maybe someone can inform me about this ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ scroll down for video 1 / core build info... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #All of the below section is video 1 but has all the relevant core info for the build ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #intro - I saw that shock nova in the 3.28 reveal and instantly wanted to make a build around it. And when I saw greater echo support, shock nova of procession had built in repeats, and of course echo shrine belt -> LOGIN - The skill itself is actually kinda wonky. If there was a way to force the echoes onto a single target it would be the best bossing skill in the game. But from my testing it's only possible against actual walls. - But as you probably saw in the highlights. Damage is ridiculous. We don't need the best case scenario. - Mobility, visuals, damage, recovery are all amazing. Max hit's are decent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #notable stuff - screams of the dessicated echo shrine + gull + blunderbore + FF harmony of purpose = the core of the build (shrine abuser) Harmony of purpose pops up with acceleration shrine pretty often and it is the ultimate feeling of godhood. Downside of no flasks is countered with bloodline extra ring slot and instant flasks. I have a video that goes over in depth the belt and different possible combos. - shock nova of procession + 4 intensity + intensify + concentrated effect = lots of less aoe = a lot of overlaps even if the boss is not against the wall For mapping I recommend grabbing more aoe than what I have. This setup is mostly for bossing. If you look at spec2, all you need to get rid of is concentrated effect and it's pretty good (but would be even better with more aoe) Nadir mode makes the intensity fall off super fast so it feels useable while mapping. - no flasks = how to get movement speed, we use lightning warp to travel around. i love that skill - coiling whisper + lightning warp as applicator to get 225% cast speed (souls). I have a video on this tech. In spec 2 I have a very expensive lightning warp imbued with swift affliction. You can use this or hextouch imbue to free up the six link for spectre / ag. - jiquanis potential, an easy way to get a ridiculous amount of flat damage. Downside of bloodmagic synergizes with inquisitor. - low life pain attunement, corrupted soul (max life as es), pious path (life regen applies to es too), righteous fire, dot's are no problem, decent max hits I was lazy with the timeless jewel. Mostly just searched for ritual of flesh on one notable. - stupid amount of leech (spec 2), since we are hitting over 100 times per second. Instant leech is insanely good. - unnatural instinct + light of meaning in scion area = a ton of something (lightning damage, chaos res, attributes, etc) - spell block clusters + megalomaniac for more spellblock and enduring composure (endurance charges) (spec2) You can cap spell block with the staff cluster nearby (whirling barrier) . Staff masteries are pretty good too. - watchers eye to get arcane surge as a blood magic user - unholy trinity + foulborn blue nightmare - 160% more dmg from a support gem and a jewel and a couple passive points. Ridiculous. The damage range with jiquani's is so huge and we hit hundreds of times per second we are able to get away with only 10% lightning as extra chaos and another 10ish % lightning converted to chaos to have 50 resonance. - spectres op and really easy to manage now. In spec 2 using 3 spectres to get lucky lightning dmg, wrath, zealotry, determination, and 5% phys damage reduction. They don't really die in the content I was doing (nightmare map rush / uber bosses). Probably because everything else dies first. Acquiring the spectres: - Perfect Spirit of Fortune - Wrath / lucky lightning dmg (most important) - Perfect Guardian Turtle - Determination - Perfect Pain Artist - Zealotry You can buy all of them through trade or self farm through Ritual - also running animate guardian in spec 2, gives us 10 fortify, 50% crit mult, 30% item rarity, culling strike, 50% increased damage, punishment curse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #loadouts - Default Just the initial brainstorm for the build. - Animate Guardian AG gear - could be tankier (mask of the spirit drinker and annoint grave intentions) - Initial Spec My initial setup, pretty budget imo ------------except the belt :) A lot of the highlights and clips are with this setup (look at my flasks, if I have only 1 doedre it is this setup It's a very lazy setup overall but it's still super powerful. So if you can snag an echo belt you can assemble the rest of the build without a lot of currency. - Spec 2 (v1) Because of blunderbore I was stacking strength and it synergizes well with righteous providence node. But I found it was more efficient to mostly stack intelligence and get the minimum required strength. The new overloaded intensity exceptional support and nadir mode makes it super easy to cap crit. Chestplate is really expensive. tempering orbs are super rng and painful. Belt has two nodes now (not necessary but very comfy). Jewelery is better but still nothing insane. Large clusters can be expensive, you can craft them yourself though. I have a video on this. - Beyond? ... I was pretty lazy with gear and could have spent a lot more currency to min max this better. But it is so powerful already! Damage is completely overkill so defenses would be what I would focus on. It is sort of hard to get this guy truly tanky. Might have to pivot in another direction.
