My current league’s goal finally achieved on SFF - 40 level gem.
To cast: rise you hands to sky and ask all the people in the universe to send you their mana
He’s just using them for minions; I run this build and the mana cost is big but fine
Don’t you have to spam it to summon wolves? One jump per wolf?
The wolves hardly ever die (even on juiced maps) if you’ve invested properly. They are also persistent between maps/logout etc
What’s the investment to make the wolves basically immortal?
For starters lvl 40 gem results in a huge life pool 20k+, then cap ele resistances on the tree, pick up some chaos res + life regen. Additional phys reduction recommended but not required
Noob here, can you please explain me.in more detail which and how that lvl 40 gem ends in a 20k+ life?? I might just be confused
Minions scale very lot much from +level
What is the mana cost?
Mana cost so high it sucks power from the PC and shuts off your house. OP has a 10 million dollar elec bill now GG.
325, half of my mana, this is minion build and I need to use Pounce only when Wolfs are killed. With 40k HP and regen they don’t die that easilly. But I already played different character but kept my eye on the talisman so I can could reach this goal of mine. I got bored of the wolf minion build because I just could not find +7 talisman for a long long time. I tried few maps with this and it works like a charm.
There’s few mirrorred ones on the trade.
Post title says SSF dude
Not relevant since you only use it when they die (rare) or to move fast. It’s not a skill you spam.
Thankfully they buffed attacks a while back to not double in mana cost while increasing damage by like 40%
Solo Felf Found
Can I ask how?
Pick enough out of the following to reach 40:
Edit:
Gloves can get another +1 from corruption
What about those gems that adds +3 levels if only 0/1/2 other gems are supporting it?
40 is max anyway, snd this lets him slot 5x supports
Don’t forget +level minion mods from sceptre and helmet
+3 from one of the uthreds though that would be counterproductive
Corrupt lower level gems and then when you finally get + corrupt and + quality if you’re going for that then upgrade the skill with a lvl 20 gem.
This works? Always thought you couldn’t upgrade a corrupted gem :O
Yes it works. It’s how I got all my twice corrupted gems much cheaper lol.
You can get minion on helmet for this skill too can’t you? This skill has like every tag in the game practically.
He probably has Vertex
You can get more from taking the talisman scepter perk too
Pounce gets level from both minions and melee skills.
It’s minor but it’s “SSF”. I read SFF as “small form factor”
My man! SFFPC ftw.
“Out of mana!”
I did something similar for a wolf companion build, it was insanely strong. I was getting my wolves to do something around 1-2m dps in total. The worst part about the build was myself. I was struggling to not die in juiced maps unless I stayed back and let my wolves clear and I moved slowly.
My gem was like level 38 so I imagine with +2 you’d get way more damage out of it on your wolves
How many data centers are you running to keep the mana flowing?
The question is: Are you still shaking?
No but when OP pounces my game is shaking and saying Diablo has invaded Sanctuary.
I run a wolf minion build and can confirm they do in fact do damage! We’re not CoC comet out here but the damage is enough to clear all non-juiced temple content.
I will say that the build is super not SSF-friendly unless you play a shitload. It requires a lot specific gear.
What’s not SSF friendly about it? You only need gem levels, res, and ES gear. The minion dmg mods on ring/claw are trivial to craft in ssf.
Minion builds are SUPER SSF friendly.
My goal was to reach 40 level gem. My version of build is bad because I die too easilly, that’s why I moved on from the character a while ago, but still saw an opportunity to reach this cool thing. I wanted was to reach as high as I could… sadly 40 is a cap. You don’t need anything special to reach exactly 40 actually.
+7 Talisman - on Talisman there is rune for Druid that gives +1 to Melee skill (so +8 in total) +2 Gloves +2 Helmet +4 Sceptre +3 Amulet +1 from corruption (because i have armour that gives +1 to corrupted gems)
and +1 from support gem which I actually don’t have in this picture because I overshot already
But having one support gem space not being taken by +1 is big deal, so I that’s why I tried to corrupt.
Hardest part by far was to find +7 talisman. It would just not drop for me, and as this game is great at humor, then I get 2x +7 talisman from the one Abyss wave.
You can also get +3 from Prism of Belief (obviously not in SSF)
You can also get additional levels via omen of sanctification on your weapon or sceptre
I didn’t even know they go up to 40. I thought 20 was max.
I remember when they said they wanted to make +level less of a thing…
Isn’t this higher +level then possible in PoE1? (I think 39 is the max, with maybe a way to get it to 40 for PoE 1.)
got bored and stopped my Druid at lvl 50ish. this made me wanted to try out Pounce for leveling. got the skill to lvl 30 and still feels very slow. It would be interesting if the wolves pounce as well.
