Is it possible to make a similar setup of constant flask using Forbidden Taste and Coruscating Elixir with increased maximum chaos resistance? Essentially using Forbidden Taste to regain all your health, which is immediately burned to supply you with energy shield. I tried my best in PoB, but my skills are clearly tiny compared to the people who come up with these builds.

Sucks that characters like this can’t be HotGM viable since the exiles there can’t use flasks.. otherwise they could make the reward for completion a mirror every time

@@jsing5022 pretty sure phys dot would still send this to the shadow realm within a few secs lol

@@shiiiitstain I’d have to see the pob but it’s dumb easy to become bleed immune and cb immune

... . Molten shell its not so good now

Chris : I still have the kill button😂

I have 18000 hp 91 all res and 100% hp regen a second with rathpith globe billions of dps. And I don't "still die"

​@@willwell2360pob?

@@willwell2360 we need pob

Hard cap is 90 75 is a soft cap anything over 90% is irrelevant

Glad to hear that, thanks!

I think this build in general shows the real power of tools like OS. Since you no longer have to worry about reducing/penetrating resists you win alot of affixes and gem sockets on gear aswell as freeing up passive points. It's expensive to get going but let's you spec way harder into defence than other builds could while maintaining a high base level offence. TL:DR Original sins is arguably part of the defence since it carries so much of the offence that you can even focus that hard on defences in the first place.

Appreciate that!

What is "decent" damage for you? I got a acc stacker that I threw together for a couple of div. It demolishes lower tier maps. Even stupid things like ghosted, 6 essence, einhar beasts without any issue. But that is not why I play him. I play him because he can use whirl blade 10 times every second. I have done t16 logbooks with him, he was not made to be a logbook farmer so he felt absolutely terrible. So what is it you need damage for? What content? I normally make builds with a specific purpose in mind. Such as my simulacrum farming necromancer. Or a lab farmer. Or MFer for card farming. Or an Uber bosser farmer. What content do you enjoy the most? If it changes make a new build :-)

@@taiwanisacountryenough to clear comfortably tier 16 maps + map end boss, with some league mechanics thrown in (essence, delirium, excavation, legion, whatever), maybe push to 8 mods and non-uber pinnacle bosses

@@OLApplin wow that is a high end build. That is unrealistic for the vast majority of builds. Because what you want is a generalist build that can do everything comfortably. Most people don't have such a build. It is a good project and I would recommend tornado shot, Int stacker, dex stacker, str stacker, or charge stacker. They are all prohibitively expensive.

@@OLApplin I forgot to ask for clarification. Is it any 8 mod combinations while during like 80% delirious, with legion, strong boxes, all the good stuff? That makes the process much harder. But it is doable to have such a build even within a reasonable budget. I did any 8 mod combinations, 80% pack size, 80% delirious, legion, strong box, farmer 2 leagues ago. He was quasi immortal. He is not budget this league. So you need a ton of different things, no regn+no leech, is a B. But that is where: on hit/recoup/other ways of recovery comes into the picture. The best defence in such maps is killing everything before they can kill you. So you need in my opinion around 40 mil DPS to do such content. And there are a lot of builds that can do that. But you also don't want to die and waste your currencies, so you need to be properly tanky. That is where the budget begins to blow up. Easiest solution MB. As simple as that. Progenesis helps a ton for life builds. Those items are out of the budget for a majority of people.

Honestly literally any league starter can do this content comfortably on a shoestring budget. I guess with the exception of 8 mod deli/ sims etc (you dont need to do this and probably shouldnt if you are new, ev is literally worse than many other farming strategies). To other person in this thread, stackers are way shittier than you seem to think. I have played several multi mirror stackers (int wander, acc stacker, armour stacker, aura spark) in the last 3 leagues. They all struggle with 8 mods before turbo high investment and just are not that strong per unit of currency. It's just fun to min max. If you are playing these builds on low investment you're coping and gimping the amount of fun you could be having imho.

Glad to hear it!

It can't be achieved easily. Ben has mirrors invested in his character to be this tanky.

Flasks, when scaled to the extreme by flask effect, are indeed extremely strong. I think in PoE2 it's likely that flasks will be far more limited in both availability(types) and use(charges/charge gain) so much so that they become 'only use when needed' type buffs.

Everything is OP with Mirror tier items. Armour/Aura Stackers can get even higher EHP and damage this league and you don't need to pay attention to keep anything active, so I wouldn't necessary call flasks OP.

​@@philippdrescher6012flasks are OP precisely because you do not need mirror-tier investment. Only things you need are the trash unique lightning coil, the pathfinder ascendancy, a taste of hate, sone eldritch implicits, and flask nodes on tree and you will be incredibly tanky.

​@@philippdrescher6012my league starter was a 75% maxres pathfinder without progenesis but using the above. 30k phys max hit, 55k elemental max hit, 3.5k life per second from 1 life flask.

@@havz0r the amount of tattoos are very high. the max res cold are like a divine each on standard imagine its higher on hardcore.

Gladiator rework in 3.23 for sure! Copium

Its higher . I Play it on standard and im Unkillable. U dont even use petrified blood and flask.

​@@jedrusnowak3317i think 99.99% damage reduction is possible with the loreweave+eternal damnation combo with transcendence. especially this league, since you can get quiet alot of flask effect. if you are using mageblood the flask drain rares arent an issue either

Yeah, the two sceptres alone were mirrored so it's expensive for sure

~4 mirrors at the very least

Ben had CB immunity, and I'm not sure what Pantheons he was using but he may have been using Ralakesh to help against bleeding

Mainly 100div ring lmao

The damage prevention mechanic from PB only functions for the bottom half of life

The mod interacts with mana directly, not ES - he has 0 mana, all of it is reserved

he has over 5k regen from flasks dots do nothing to him

They can have perma flask up so... why not. Mageblood is just a chase item. You don't need it. You just want it. You can kill all bosses and even ubers with 2k EHP. And you can kill them with 3M DPS. Attempting both at the same time, though, is not advised.

To be fair I said exactly how UI works when I first introduced it, but I was trying to explain the line on Arohongui Makanga tattoos that restricts a maximum of one connection, so I'm not sure how I could have mentioned it, maybe 'way to gain those passives' rather than 'way to allocate those passives'. But I think in general, nobody is going to misunderstand what I'm saying in the video - this is similar to when people refer to 'Damage Taken As' as 'Conversion', two entirely different mechanics but everyone understands and knows what they meant.

Have a look at the jewel he's using: The Balance of Terror

@@potwalthank, now it all makes perfect sense

Yeah the wording could probably be better, but they just require a max of one connection

This particular setup is very expensive, I'm not sure on exact costs but the sceptres alone are both mirrored

oh Journey Tattoo of Makanui? you just have to roll it and hope? yikes
