Probably the best I have ever played this fight, I'm really pleased with it.

New sword! Thanks, creepy tree!


Quest Neglected Flame and Incarnation of Neglect down!

I'm cursing with ele weakness now; you were right. I'm freeze immune with arctic armour but the flasks are helpful for chill. I am now a great believer in Garukhan pantheon for shock effect reduction.

Warcries:

Performance has been terrible and I am frequently down to 5fps. I'm gonna dust out the computer case before next bosses in hopes that it helps.

Quest Pinnacles finished! PoB and weapon are the same as in last post.

Game performance was painful. Dusting out the case made no observable difference. I am glad I had a decent sword to carry me.

I'll keep playing this character for a while for league challenges. I am open to any suggestions on how to get stronger. My hat is terrible, my chestpiece should be armour/evade base, I'd like life on my chaos res ring, I need to do more with my flasks, and I have 2 sockets available that I'm not using. There's probably tons of stuff I am missing. I honestly feel pretty lost.

I attempted the new Breach bosses blind in a t16 and died due to poor game performance, although I did make it to the final phase. can't dodge attacks while frozen from shader. pretty sad about it. I'll have to do some troubleshooting, maybe try Vulkan again instead of dx11, if I can get it to start. The Memory Pinnacles were certainly loading worse this patch than in 3.26. And in breach encounters I dare not hit the 'bombard the hiveborn' button unless I want the game to freeze.

Anyway, that's victory in the challenge! I had fun building something I normally would not have played. I've learned a lot about warcries and some about elemental weapon builds. Recombinating is driving me mad or probably already has. I spent a lot of resources recombinating but then apparently sword upgrades grow on trees. Not actually complaining.

Congratulations with this victory! What kind of videorecorder do you use? If that's OBS, you can change encoder settings (Settings -> Output -> advanced encoder settings) to faster ones. OBS will need much less resources to do his thing and you'll get less lags.
As for the build, i really like your idea to use warcries. It's an interesting and unintuitive way of scaling damage as elemental build. I've never played with exerted attacks and, maybe, will try it next league if it'll work for me.

Such a coincidence! My character also has two empty sockets. Well, i think about filling them with some fasion things like increased area of effect for RF (big circle = cool).

Oh, that's very bad in my opinion. As i remember there are always problems with initial loading of a content. It's explainable: game should render all of this and store in a cache to then use it later. But for some reason it happens every new league (at least, for me). Maybe there's a great reason behind it and we cannot understand it. Anyway, i believe it should be fine after this loading finishes.

I hope you'll have a good time in this league.
My last win: Uber Elder and Maven fights. Both are difficult in terms of no-death run and i'll not practice them. Anyway, now i have all four voidstones, which means i finished the tutorial.

As a trade league player, i found a farming strategy for myself and made some currency. There's another craft i've made for myself:

The process
1. Get ilvl 84 modifiable Archdemon crown without fractured mods (fractured items cannot have influence)

2. shaper's exalt slam to get any mod and shaper influence (or randomize influence if there's a wrong influence type)

3. Use essence of Horror (30% more Elemenral Damage) or Hysteria (30% more Damage while on Low Life). I would recommend the first one if you want to craft for profit. You need to catch Trap and Mine damage (more damage, but rare) or Hypotermia (less damage, but has higher chance).

4. If the last suffix isn't open or flat critical chance (Socketed Spells have +#% to Critical Strike Chance), try to annul it. If useful suffix is annuled instead, return to step 3

5. if prefixes are filled, annul one of them. Return to step 3 if a suffix is removed. Otherwise, use:
Suffixes cannot be changed -> reforge critical to fill the open suffix with flat critical chance

If you don't have currency to repeat steps 3-5 (in case you fail the annul), i recommend you to stop here. Craft +1 to socketed AoE gems (if possible) and finish the craft. If you want to continue, use the following steps:

6. If Increased AoE support isn't on the helmet and:
a. You have an open prefix, then use suffixes cannot be changed -> reforge influence. There's a 40% chance that guaranted influence modifier is Increased AoE support;
b. Prefixes are filled, then use annulment orb. If you remove:
| a prefix, then use step 6.a
| flat critical strike chance, then return to step 5
| other suffix, then return to step 3
Repeat step 6 untill you have increased AoE support

7. If prefixes are filled, annul one of them. If one of the gem-related mod (we've got them in steps 3, 5 and 6) start from the step where this modifier is obtained. If there's an open prefix, craft +1 to socketed AoE gems and finish the craft

Well, this crafting might seem very complicated, but the whole idea is to add one modifier at a time. I was also thinking about including veiled exalt slam into reveal +2 to level of Socketed AoE gems, but it's too expensive and gives just +1 additional level. Maybe the third (and the last) helmet i'll do will have this modifier as well. Another thing missing here is "Item sells for much more to vendors". That is a possibility to corrupt the helmet with hinekora's locks untill i lose my sanity get +2 to level of AoE/Fire/Trap gems, which is another insane boost for the build.

Congrats! Looks like the framerate was unkind to you too in the beginning of Uber Elder. And the Elder's damage ground is so darn hard to see.

Very nice Maven! You played that well, do you fight her often? Some nice memory game luck in the middle. And you were able to correct and finish a memory game sequence after hitting a red! I didn't know that was possible! And nice job surviving so long after clipping a no regen beam. Good movement. Was fun to watch.

Congrats on the nice hat!

I've scored myself two treasures! Crafting bases:

The number of essences and fracturing attempts I will need to make these into something is astronomical. But it would be SO COOL! Especially the Banishing Blade. I think I'm crazy enough to try....

Well, I guess there's an idea about how you can make a decent sword relatively fast. But you'll need some divine orbs for metamods:

1. Roll essences for one elemental damage until you get the other one.
2. If you don't have fractured attack speed, you can craft it by using:
Prefixes cannot be changed -> reforge speed. The only "speed" modifier you can get is "increased attack speed", but its tier is randomized.

As I remember, "Hits cannot be evaded" is a great modifier for your weapon, since you'll always hit no matter what is your accuracy rating. I'm not sure if there are good critical chances nodes on your tree that you can utilize. You can check and see if "Hits cannot be evaded" is useful or not. By the way, if attack speed and two damage mods are the only 3 you have on your weapon, you can multicraft this mod and increased critical strikes (just make sure you have an open prefix before step 2). Having this on the Banishing sword mean you can throw away all stuff that decreases enemy's resistances. For example, you can replace:
Elemental penetration support -> increased critical strikes / damage
Elemental weakness -> Punishment / assassin mark
