Ya boii!

A good one!

Congrats!

There are so many cheap on the market.
I go first for deflection, back in action, or pliable flesh, then second and third for minion-notes and qol or ailment-immunities.

Sniped a good megalomaniac with Deflection and Necrotised Flesh for 100 exalts.

I have 2 that are 40%. Haven't gotten one with higher. I want one more mana.



That's a loss. :(


I also want to mention if anyone is looking for a Megalomaniac, use this site to find a useful second passive.

Yes, there on poe2db the passives are most easy to highlight.

The 42%-shields are often in trade around 1 div. Perhaps you need to change the tradefilters in "buyout price" to "exalted equivalent" or to "divine".
Do you know if rerolling the corrupted shield with a divine only changes the +40 mana or also rerolls other stats like blockchance?


For the megalomaniacs I added fitting optional tradelinks in the jewel-section and tradelist-spoiler.


B.i.s. Megalomaniac Diamonds, with 2 b.i.s. notables:

I hope I didn't missed some very good useable notables.

Hey, I was wondering how to make the support gems work.
I see there's 2x Fire Exposure and 2x Culling Strike at least. Game tells me I can only use that once sadly. What am I missing?

Fire exposure is as Infernalist linked to Hellhound, in other ascendancies linked to Raging Spirits.

Take always only 1x the support.

In the spoiler "The skills and supports" the bracketed supports, i.e. Culling strike, Mobility, Arcane tempo, Inspiration, Font of Mana, Wind Wave and more can flexible be used where ever you favourize to link them.

Definitely not worth using a Divine on it to reroll stat. Once corrupted, I thought you couldn't use any currency on it. It would reroll anything with a range.

Cheap option for block chance - From Nothing unique jewel(Glancing Blows variant). Insert this jewel into any jewel socket in passive skills tree and you will be able to allocate nodes near Glancing Blows keystone: Parrying Motion notable node(12% increased block chance) and 3 small nodes(5% increased block chance each).

I bought it for 70 ex.

Thank you chrischoi!

In trade there were some of the new shield with increased mana and 41-42% blockchances for 1-4 divs again.

Thank you Omat1c!

Yes, the From nothing is interesting when you get it cheap.

I added it in the alternatives for blickchances and jewels in the related spoilers. Thank you!

Also the From nothing for Necromantic diadem is very interesting with recoupings, stun threshold, minion survivability.

Overall the megalomaniac, amulet anoint and rare jewels remain a bit stronger.

I'm not sure why but my DPS is pretty rubbish, to the point I can't even clear to the pinnacle breach lord because minions aren't killing things fast enough before the timer runs out. I find single target DPS on map bosses also quite low.

I am lv90, and I followed exactly your PoB tree (a little after the 110 tree, I haven't taken some of the minion survivability nodes as I pathed to Ingenuity to get some extra int).

I have LV29 minions: 5 from scep, 3 from amu, 2 from helmet + lv 19 gems.

All skill gems are +20% quality and 4-linked (so missing 1 gem each), at lvl19. I use same rota as you suggest and ensure that I always have curses up, 11 raging spirits out, and use pain offering every time it expires.

I don't have either of the two unique jewels, but I have 7 rare jewels all with +minion damage and +minion atk speed as offensives.

I have enough spirit to keep out 8 arsonists, 2 clerics, 2 skellies, and hellhound (infernalist with only 4 points on the tree as the other 4 are useless for this build).

Is this low DPS to be expected when using a shield?
