SillyIsLily's Notes

Watch my stream at twitch.tv/sillyislily to see updates as they happen THIS BUILD IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL - APPROACH WITH CARE AND REMEMBER THAT THIS MIGHT NOT WORK HOW WE THINK IT DOES OR AT ALL MAKE SURE TO TURN AUTO EQUIP OFF WHEN YOU PICK UP HOLLOW PALM Act 1 regex for MS boots and Quarterstaves: "\d+% i.+mov|ph.*da|\d (co|f|l).+da|ck spe" QStaff levelling build for A1-A3 credit to Pienczvq in my chat, thanks! GuyThatDies has a good alternative levelling setup, it's just a bit more complicated - https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/hollow-palm-levelling?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C3 I recommend only switching to Thorns at level 47, as at that point you should be able to get enough recoup to survive Switching to Mana Thorns is more about budget than level, but you should only switch after level 65 so you can use Cloak of Defiance for 100% of damage taken from mana before life While playing mana thorns make sure to not exceed 100% damage taken from mana before life or you will just be increasing the damage you take Less than 100% damage taken from mana before life is fine as long as you're not allocating Chaos Innoculation There is an ideal % for damage taken from mana before life, but the maths is extremely complicated and relies on the size of both your mana and life pool as well as how well you recover each. Er on the side of 99% DO NOT LEVEL UP RAPID ASSAULT AND CULL THE WEAK - YOU'LL ONLY INCREASE YOUR MANA COSTS AND DEX REQUIREMENTS IF YOU DO Thorns Gear Damage Thresholds Level 1: (1-2) to (3-4) Physical Thorns damage Level 10: (5-7) to (7-10) Physical Thorns damage Level 19: (11-16) to (15-23) Physical Thorns damage Level 38: (24-35) to (35-53) Physical Thorns damage Level 48: (40-60) to (61-92) Physical Thorns damage Level 63: (64-97) to (97-145) Physical Thorns damage Level 74: (101-151) to (146-220) Physical Thorns damage Choice rewards: THESE MIGHT CHANGE WITH THE CAMPAIGN REWORKS - Valley of the Titans - Personal preference, I take Increased Charm Charges Gained - Can be changed - Venom Vial - I'm not entirely sure, but probably mana regen rate or ailment threshold - Can't be changed - Tattoos - Res/Res/Res - Can't be changed - Abandoned Prison - 30% Increased Mana Recovery From Flasks - Can be changed - Seven Pillars - 5% All Res OR 3% Movement Speed OR 5 All Attributes - Can be changed Any mistakes in this guide credit to Menoske - https://discord.com/channels/1392851908951150752/1504146410139025541/1509267838689612011
