Hi Wrecker!

No worries, it's not like we pay you for customer support or anything. :P

The good news is, recently PoE added the beta option to use Vulkan instead of DirectX. I switched to it and it gave me massive performance improvements! I still have some lag occasionally, but the majority of the time it's significantly more manageable. I didn't die or fail Blight due to lag since. So I guess I can get back to focus on damage - that should help with Blight too, kill things faster before they can overwhelm me.

P.s.: I would love to hear what you think about my solution idea for Kaom's Heart that I posted later, when you have a moment. :)

P.p.s.: Oh, and GGG said the patch coming next week will have further performance improvements for Vulkan!
Hey StormHUN!

Vulkan has done wonders for me too. I'm really thankful and excited about it.

Kaom's is an awesome addition to this build for sure and the suggestions you had around it are definitely great! As you said, it's something that needs to be worked towards for sure. For Kaom's to be efficient with this build, you need REALLy good Rares and influenced gear to keep the synergy alive. You've definitely made the build your own for sure and it looks awesome as long as you have the items so go for it! Your gem setup looks legit. Let us know how it goes if you give it a shot!

Ohh Np I did get some good advice and switching to a Chieftain has made life much better.. one thing Im trying to theory craft is the Ball Light/cwdt taken set up. I like ball but I prefer it with Gmps much better. So Im now trying out Orb of Storms and I also tried Storm Brand out and I cannot figure out which one I prefer best. Besides that - yea IM running t7-10 maps rather comfortably and I think I have an issue with Glennach Cairns area as it says I have not obtained a single Keystone for that are. Going to try and run 3 maps there with 2 stones and see what happens...

***Note: If a skill has two triggers attempting to cast it, the skill will become inactive. Skills can only have one active trigger. So, for the link that has CwDT, CoH, and a curse, both the CoH and the curse will have to be outside the CwDT's requirement threshold (trigger range). So you'll only start seeing your curse applied once those gems require a character level of 39 or more.

I read this again and Im feeling really dumb about now because my Flammability has been at lvl 36 for a while... LOL
Hey Hellzwraith!

Awesome! Make whatever changes you like! If things don't work out, just revert back to the guide. It's fun to make things your own.

Ha! And don't worry about the "trigger" stuff going over your head for a bit. It happens to all of us. I once spent an entire league running RF with a 5-link with Fire Pen. linked to it (which does nothing). We all have our moments...I have many of them. :)

Thanks again mate, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I'm glad to say everything is back to normal for the time being. I live in California, which, in general, is still almost entirely on fire, but I don't have to worry where I am now.

I didn't actually think about the Xbone version being different from PS4, considering both consoles are so architecturally similar. Very interesting. I guess GGG just doesn't bat for the Blue Team. I swear, I submitted at least one crash report every day that I played. The text boxes they ask me to fill out at submission got... less friendly over time lol.

Don't ever feel like you need to apologize, because let's be honest: you're significantly more active and responsive than most dedicated customer service reps are in these kinds of forums. You do enough work for us that we ought to be apologizing for continually inundating you with questions!
You're very kind StandardFiend!

That was a very kind message. I really appreciate it. I'm also glad things are back to normal. Hopefully one day, normal isn't "on-fire".

I trust GGG. I don't think they give any more or less support to a different console. I've heard that the Xbox is more like a PC than the PS4 so I can see that being easier for some companies than others. That being said, GGG has said that they consider each platform its own game and make the appropriate changes per system. We'll have to see how things go with the new-gen consoles coming out. But don't worry, I don't think GGG treats Team-Blue any differently.

Thanks again for the kind message!

Ohhh, another Heist teaser that's relevant to our interests. :)

Wow. That just straight up adds 2 passive points back into the build. Not too shabby.
First guide I ever followed that didn't cost me more than 20C (Kaom's Heart) to make. Even got a friend to play it and he said RF is gonna be hi's league starter all leagues now (we're kind'a casuals)

Absolutely strong up to T7-8 maps with crap gear and open for improvements and low regret cost to alternate the tree as the gear drops in.

For me, I got me a nice RF elder helmet, got down to 160:ish in delve with ease, playing T14 maps as they drop in (I'm crap at atlasing)

Trials are super easy, just don't start RF and the traps be like massage.

Hey druttis! Thank you! I'm so glad you and your friend like it! RF is SUCH a fun skill. It's even better when it's SSF material!

I appreciate the feedback and am glad you are enjoying it so much! If you have any suggestions or ideas about the guide or build, please let me know.

So I was wondering through a t10 map and an Ex dropped for me (first this league) and I sold my Animae Stone for another Ex which allowed me to upgrade a few things. I still need to swap my gloves for something better, just havent yet.

got this as my weapon now


Not sure if thats the correct weapon mod - I added it myself, and I changed up jewelry -


I currently have 10 Watchstones, I have Obtained all the inner and outer regions with one watch stone, and 1 of the innner with 2 and have Baran ready in a region with 2. Its getting really difficult for me now at lvl 80 and I dont feel like Red Maps are possible. This is about as far as I ever achieved in the Atlas and wonder what can I do to get to red maps..
In game since Minotaur League..
