Thank you for making these! Normally I don't like long videos, but you are very informative! I want to do this new league, but feel like getting the nova jewel is gunna be impossible
Does consuming dark work with the Physical Damage from EK? It seems path of building counts it but I always thought it only worked with the chaos damage?
My point was that PoB with only physical damage (no chaos) and consuming dark equipped counts all of his physical damage towards poison, so his poison DPS should be less than 1/3 of what its saying (with Atziri's promise up).
Current version of PoB is not calculating poison from consuming dark correctly. This can easily be tested by enabling a 1/0 poison support on EK while having consuming dark equipped, or equipping consuming dark with a pure phys spell. Rough estimate puts DPS after taking that into account at about 3.1m.
Tarke, have you considered on using the new Broken Faith shield with this setup? I know the downfalls would be losing a shit ton of ES but you gain a hell of a lot more damage and no need for a Sin's Rebirth since you will be relying on block chance to give you a free unholy might.
The name of that shield is pretty on point. It does look broken. lol. I'm trying this build out, will try the shield whenever i get the chance to, it looks pretty cool
Hello Tarke, was wondering how this build would do with projectile damage scaling, since I believe that would scale both the damage of EK and the poison's damage?
Considering starting off with a fireball build, basically Mathil's variant with flameblast as needed. Either that or some sort of earthquake. My only question is what to do with the area nodes I won't really need now that the AOE change is in. But this looks interesting.
I love the build m8, and I plan on following your build in Legacy League, but since i am new to the game, would you mind also telling me what setups do you use for your curses, survivability golem etc...
See, I'm doing something similar. Tri curse occultist. Proj weakness/Vulnerability/Temp Chains then 6: EK/VoidManip/Poison/Pierce/Controlled Dest/Slower Projectiles. I'm relying more on the poison damage to kill and spread using Bino's to do the work. This also allows me to whirling blades. I can run Discpline also if I take the reduced cluster near templar OR get some skyforths ( then I can take more proj dmg nodes near the ranger tree)
I'm not sure that Controlled destruction would affect the EK since "nova" is already a mechanic ingame (through Sire of Shards) and it's not affected by the gem.
For the shadow tree, I'd go through the path under written in blood instead and go through the life/es nodes of written in blood instead of the int node near CI unles you really need the 10 str. you basically get 10% es scaling at the cost of 1 node and 10 str
I tend to agree in most builds but since we have so much access to juicy double dipping damage nodes literally 1 node away I would rather be greedy and save the one point to invest into more damage because realistically once your hitting values of around 15k ES you really don't need any more.
So I tried this build and I just don't understand why we should use Consuming Dark over Poison Support gem. Consuming Dark was shit compared to a generic rare wand. Am I missing something here?
Thinking of trying ek nova traps, by getting a 6L bow from the div card you mentioned a few videos past then craft it with a spell damage essence and use 2x coated shrapnel for 50% change to poison on hit. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, cheers and keep up the great content.
IMO if your going to go traps/mines totems bladefall is probably better just from an auto targeting PoV it will mostly depend on how hard it gets hit by the AoE changes.
One error you made is that Vaal Discipline is getting nerfed hard in 2.6, and in your build it is active providing ~4-5k ES.Other than that it's a great idea for a league starter especially with the new threshold jewels.
Hi, I'm wondering that EK is a spell not attack. Assassin's ascendancy skill "noxious strike" and "toxic delivery" does not need to use the attack not spell? (Sorry I'm not an English speaker, so please forgive me about the grammar)
Using spells with Noxious Strike + Toxic Delivery works, the only part of the ascendancy that is tied to attack is the "attacks have a chance a 30% chance to cause bleeding" all the poison damage increases work just fine.
[Attacks]>Bleeding>[Hit]>Poison>[Attacks]>Maim>[Killed]>30% increased duration 20% of physical damage gained as chaos damage against "bleeding enemies" Bleeding you inflict on "maimed enemies" deals 100% more damage If I don't [Attacks] enemied, how could I let it "bleeding" and "maim", and get the more damage?
You don't need the extra damage from the bleed, the 100% more poison damage is reason enough to take those nodes. That being said you can proc the bleed effect with your shield charge, fortify setup if you really need the extra damage on single target.
I'm not really sure if this app is calculating the poison damage correctly, since consuming dark apply poison only from chaos dmg, you should always do more damage with poison gem. Also I probably missed the way you'll do the chaos damage to apply your poison
How you managed to reach a total of 4mil dps? I've only managed to get 1.6mil with Power Charges Tick on, Flasks active and Enemy Shocked. 90% positive I got all the gear right apart from the jewels I think, as I don't know how to import the item you used from paste bin into Path of building
I've thought about taking ranger for the free chain, customizing the tree isnt too hard, I'd drop pierce in the tree and replace pierce gem with poison which also free us up to use a delirium weapon my only problem is that I dont know how much crit I'm going to have and or need, got any insight on that?
I really don't think chain is worth while as if you go deadeye just for the chain half of your ascendancy is wasted since all the really good nodes are projectile ATTACK only.
I was thinking about making a trap version, not having to focus on AoE nodes takes a lot of stress from the tree which most trapper builds face. Removes reflect, but unfortunately doesn't get to double dip trap damage with poison...
Tanuki M They changed it a while back so that trap damage no longer double dips with poison/ignite damage. You'd be better off using consuming dark for poison.
Do you think that I could do a deadeye version with as much damage as you have? The free chain and returning projectiles could be some nice quality of life.
Just simply no, deadeye is a terrible ascendancy for EK as it only has 4 points that are actually good for the skill, nearly everything is attack based and won't scale your damage all that much.
Ok, thanks for the fast answer, but how will the aoe look for this build? we don't have a lot of proj speed so I'm wondering how we can get some more aoe.
Since he will be touching a projectile speed node and quality of EK is projectile speed, the AoE is pretty damn big considering. No need to focus on more than that really.
by the way, which ascendancy points should i get first? unstable + deadly infusion or the other branch? I would guess deadly infusion first, but just to make sure :D
@1:34 sorry but the 10 % change to gain a power charge on non critical strike just doesn't work. Your tree shows 88.24 crit chance, meaning your non crits hits happen just less than 12 % of the time. So 10 % chance to gain a power charge works out to be just over 1% chance on hit? To put it simply, i tried this in breach and couldn't maintain power charges, like at all.
That crit chance is with all of our power charges active + a diamond flask active so realistically at the start of a map with no charges up getting the charges rolling is fairly easy, also as I said in the video you can afford to drop some crit chance on jewelry. 10% chance on non crit + orb of storms linked with pcoc is also a really easy way of capping out power charges just drop it again at the start of maps and on bosses if you need it.
Kinda wanting to try this now.. but i'm a bit afraid of the "cost"/drop chance of the jewel that makes EK fire in a nova.. build should work without the jewel aswell i think but the jewel makes it much much cooler and better for clearing. I can only imagine shield charging into packs and then pressing right click and everything is dead. :D
I've been debating between playing an actual good EK poison build before poison gets nerfed like yours here, or playing a goofy 100% fire totems chieftan build using xoph's nurture for ignites. Probably gonna end up playing the fire version because I feel compelled to be edgy and want to continue my streak of never playing a poison build :D
are you going to plan something with the freeze pulse jewel? pretty hyped about freeze pulse. but my damage in this tool is so low compared to your poison double dipping shit.... meeeh
A few people have asked for it so I might jump onto Path of Building at somepoint and mess around with it. I know that Yoji was planning on making a FP char next league though so if I don't get round to it you should be able to pick up a guide off him.
Doing individual builds with proper gear etc on PoB is quite time consuming, this took me about 2-3 hours with plenty of input from chat. Once we have the patch notes I will do some build making streams to try and help people out your best is to try and catch me then. That being said if I get a lot of feedback from people asking about FP I will make a vid for it.
What? The sockets next to Vaal Pact and Blood Drinker both have 40 dex in medium radius. Did you miss the change where the requirement is no longer allocation, just the nodes being there?
Solid option saves you some points on the tree and a link however getting hold of a pair early into the league in HC is a serious pain so I didn't include them as this was mostly meant as a league starter option. That being said feel free to pick them up and play around with the links a little bit to compensate.
Is it a good idea to actually pick CI as a starter character? Feels like getting a decent 6link chest is too costly and takes too long to get the money for it.
You should be fine without a 6L for a while since poison is poison and with the addition of essences getting usable CI gear within the first week of the league is fairly achievable.
I see you're talking about starter builds recently, which of course makes sense with 2.6 coming in a couple of days. What I'd love to know is the scaling potential of these "starter" builds. I'm a newb, so I'd like to know if I will be able to do chayula/uber atziri/guardians/shaper with this build, once I get decent gear? Should I just take the dps numbers as a "yes"?
Uber Atziri/Guardians/Shaper rely a lot on your personal skill. Noone but you can say if you can do them with said build. You can however look up their health numbers at poedb.tw/us
As I say in the video use whatever you want for stun prevention, as people have vastly different preferences when it comes down to stuns as CI. Be it the amulet, ring, boot enchant, skyforth if your rich or straight yolo and pray.
I think it's a pure greed item that isn't really needed that being said a friend of mine used one in a sc bladevortex char and his tooltip ego was quite impressive.
For pure elemental bow builds that are very dependant on the new tree changes I would rather wait until I have the passive tree update. I felt safe with the BA trees since they will just have mild routing changes as they mostly focus on generic double dipping nodes. While Ice shot will most likely want to chase wherever they put the new conversion nodes and raw physical bow scaling for said conversion.
Would appreciate a video on that at some point. Ice Shot would be a build I'd like to visit later in league, probably my favorite bow skill besides tornado shot.
The build is cool and all, but if you strip it down to basics and remove flasks up, gosu gear and 20 wither stacks etc. for a SSF char, i'ts only like 30k damage
I dont think Ek with the new jewel is meant to be played as selfcast, in my imagination at least its even worse than selfcast EK without the jewel, why would just wanna into packs if u can just stay in range? Probably more suited for CoC or traps /mines.
With spell echo you will be fine and this is with no mana increases on gear etc If it becomes a real issue you can always shift one of your curses onto a CoH Orb which will also do a nice job of keeping your powecharges up on bosses. Once you get your hands on a leech enchant on boots you can drop blas warlords completely and mana should no longer be an issue
I don't understand why you'd go CI with this... You'd just be perma-stunned and perma-frozen and die constantly lol. Also the fact you chose to get poison via consuming dark is strange. Wouldn't you get higher poison dps and total dps if you were to just use the poison gem and a rare spell dagger? That way you'd get your chaos AND phys to contribute to poison? I'm probably being dumb and just missed some stuff, care to elaborate?
4.5mil dps what the FUCK. i thought my 1mil dps ignite build was high in the builder.. then again you were calculating with max wither stacks which is utter bs since that will never be true except on some bosses, but you probably had the mob type turned to regular so. the numbers are misleading.
To be honest I would never recommend following Path of Building's dmg numbers too blindly, it is mostly best for comparing the strength of nodes / gear and getting rough ballpark figures of defense numbers.

The 15k ES number is accounting for having Vaal Discipline active, and thats going away with 2.6.
Yeah its about 10.5k to 11k depending on gear I forgot to turn that off.
Thank you for making these! Normally I don't like long videos, but you are very informative! I want to do this new league, but feel like getting the nova jewel is gunna be impossible
Does consuming dark work with the Physical Damage from EK? It seems path of building counts it but I always thought it only worked with the chaos damage?
Yes, it's only the chaos damage part
he converts his phys dmg to chaos dmg using atziri's promise.
Atziri's promise doesn't convert damage. It adds chaos damage on top based off the phys and ele damage you do.
my bad. point is the same though.
My point was that PoB with only physical damage (no chaos) and consuming dark equipped counts all of his physical damage towards poison, so his poison DPS should be less than 1/3 of what its saying (with Atziri's promise up).
Quickly becoming one of my favorite PoE internet dudes :)
FeelsGoodMan

Rough estimate puts DPS after taking that into account at about 3.1m.
will u do "indepth" guide when patch notes come out ?
Nice, I was looking forward to starting next league with EK, now i don't have to go through the trouble of trying to build it and fail horribly xD
Tarke, have you considered on using the new Broken Faith shield with this setup? I know the downfalls would be losing a shit ton of ES but you gain a hell of a lot more damage and no need for a Sin's Rebirth since you will be relying on block chance to give you a free unholy might.
By the way, I'm digging this setup.
The name of that shield is pretty on point. It does look broken. lol. I'm trying this build out, will try the shield whenever i get the chance to, it looks pretty cool

But this looks interesting.
Why are people some focused on shield charge as a movement skill.
What happened to whirling blade/flame dash/lightning warp/blink arrow?
I love the build m8, and I plan on following your build in Legacy League, but since i am new to the game, would you mind also telling me what setups do you use for your curses, survivability golem etc...
" you rock one energy from within jewel"... i feel like last league they didn't cost 90+c tho... am I just wrong or is the price super duper high?
See, I'm doing something similar. Tri curse occultist. Proj weakness/Vulnerability/Temp Chains then 6: EK/VoidManip/Poison/Pierce/Controlled Dest/Slower Projectiles. I'm relying more on the poison damage to kill and spread using Bino's to do the work. This also allows me to whirling blades. I can run Discpline also if I take the reduced cluster near templar OR get some skyforths ( then I can take more proj dmg nodes near the ranger tree)
Sounds PogChamp.
I'm not sure that Controlled destruction would affect the EK since "nova" is already a mechanic ingame (through Sire of Shards) and it's not affected by the gem.
Wait i'm fucking dumb
would the change to Drillneck effect the bow version of the build? and if so would you suggest something else?
Dat thumbnail... LMAO! BTW Nc build man. Gonna make this my starter.
For the shadow tree, I'd go through the path under written in blood instead and go through the life/es nodes of written in blood instead of the int node near CI unles you really need the 10 str. you basically get 10% es scaling at the cost of 1 node and 10 str
I tend to agree in most builds but since we have so much access to juicy double dipping damage nodes literally 1 node away I would rather be greedy and save the one point to invest into more damage because realistically once your hitting values of around 15k ES you really don't need any more.
fair, it just feels so bad to not pick up 10% es for one node. I do wonder if the 25% mana regen 14 flat es node at witch start is worth it though.
So I tried this build and I just don't understand why we should use Consuming Dark over Poison Support gem. Consuming Dark was shit compared to a generic rare wand. Am I missing something here?
Thinking of trying ek nova traps, by getting a 6L bow from the div card you mentioned a few videos past then craft it with a spell damage essence and use 2x coated shrapnel for 50% change to poison on hit.

IMO if your going to go traps/mines totems bladefall is probably better just from an auto targeting PoV it will mostly depend on how hard it gets hit by the AoE changes.
@Tarke Cat is there anyway to make EK Nova into a totem build
Hi Tarke, so is The consuming Dark still a viabile option(because only the chaos dmg poisons) or is Divinarius better?
how should we deal with stun, what with the neck being take by karui ward?
I love the thumbnail :D
One error you made is that Vaal Discipline is getting nerfed hard in 2.6, and in your build it is active providing ~4-5k ES.Other than that it's a great idea for a league starter especially with the new threshold jewels.
is there a link for this build in action or something?
Hi, I'm wondering that EK is a spell not attack.
Assassin's ascendancy skill "noxious strike" and "toxic delivery" does not need to use the attack not spell?

I'm not really sure if this app is calculating the poison damage correctly, since consuming dark apply poison only from chaos dmg, you should always do more damage with poison gem. Also I probably missed the way you'll do the chaos damage to apply your poison
Added Chaos gem? Atziri flask?
Could someone explain to me why crit is so important in this build?
How you managed to reach a total of 4mil dps? I've only managed to get 1.6mil with Power Charges Tick on, Flasks active and Enemy Shocked. 90% positive I got all the gear right apart from the jewels I think, as I don't know how to import the item you used from paste bin into Path of building
Noxious Strike wont work... Still worth going assassin?
it kinda does work. You can proc the bleeding with shield charge. Same for the maim. So i guess you can get it with that.
It's about getting 100% MORE poison damage with crits from toxic delivery, Noxious strike is just on the way there.
I've thought about taking ranger for the free chain, customizing the tree isnt too hard, I'd drop pierce in the tree and replace pierce gem with poison which also free us up to use a delirium weapon
my only problem is that I dont know how much crit I'm going to have and or need, got any insight on that?

I was thinking about making a trap version, not having to focus on AoE nodes takes a lot of stress from the tree which most trapper builds face. Removes reflect, but unfortunately doesn't get to double dip trap damage with poison...
Laskaris why doesn't it get to double dip? doesn't poison blade fall double dip? what about using the poison gem?
Tanuki M They changed it a while back so that trap damage no longer double dips with poison/ignite damage. You'd be better off using consuming dark for poison.
Where is the new jewel? Doesn't appear in the items list?
Razvan Cozma I have the same question too
Do you think that I could do a deadeye version with as much damage as you have? The free chain and returning projectiles could be some nice quality of life.
Just simply no, deadeye is a terrible ascendancy for EK as it only has 4 points that are actually good for the skill, nearly everything is attack based and won't scale your damage all that much.

Since he will be touching a projectile speed node and quality of EK is projectile speed, the AoE is pretty damn big considering. No need to focus on more than that really.
hey if i had a 5link what would i take for the gems w a consuming dark dagger?
by the way, which ascendancy points should i get first? unstable + deadly infusion or the other branch? I would guess deadly infusion first, but just to make sure :D
Power charge 2 pointer in norm then get your poison 4 pointer by merc.
@1:34 sorry but the 10 % change to gain a power charge on non critical strike just doesn't work. Your tree shows 88.24 crit chance, meaning your non crits hits happen just less than 12 % of the time.

I can only imagine shield charging into packs and then pressing right click and everything is dead. :D
Threshold jewels are really common across the board, I don't see them changing this for EK.
I've been debating between playing an actual good EK poison build before poison gets nerfed like yours here, or playing a goofy 100% fire totems chieftan build using xoph's nurture for ignites. Probably gonna end up playing the fire version because I feel compelled to be edgy and want to continue my streak of never playing a poison build :D
hmm you mean its a good starter build ? what you mean about Zombie jewel ?
are you going to plan something with the freeze pulse jewel? pretty hyped about freeze pulse. but my damage in this tool is so low compared to your poison double dipping shit.... meeeh
A few people have asked for it so I might jump onto Path of Building at somepoint and mess around with it. I know that Yoji was planning on making a FP char next league though so if I don't get round to it you should be able to pick up a guide off him.
Tarke Cat thanks. Ill keep my eyes open
What about traps? I believe the new EK jewel feels the juiciest with traps or totems
Depending on how the AoE changes pan out, I THINK that bladefall is probably better than EK for mines/traps/totems with the way it auto aims.
didn't they remove the auto aim from bladefall?
For large packs EK is gonna have much better coverage though. Especially with AoE nerfs.
Any tips for new freezing pulse build? seem like inquisitor is the only choice.
If you want the most reliable freezing then yes.
any chance you can export a path of building Freeze Pulse build for me?
Doing individual builds with proper gear etc on PoB is quite time consuming, this took me about 2-3 hours with plenty of input from chat. Once we have the patch notes I will do some build making streams to try and help people out your best is to try and catch me then. That being said if I get a lot of feedback from people asking about FP I will make a vid for it.
Where do you put that new jewel? There's no 40 dex near medium radius?
What? The sockets next to Vaal Pact and Blood Drinker both have 40 dex in medium radius. Did you miss the change where the requirement is no longer allocation, just the nodes being there?
Oh, i did miss that. Thanks!
hey guys can u tell me is the consuming dark the best choise for dps ?
Someone else playing Ek. feelsgoodman :)
With the new threshold jewel many will give it a shot
Yo, guys, TarCat here and much like yesterday, I'm completely wasted. For some reason I thought you would say that. :D
Shhh don't tell the plebs.
why pirce nodes doesn't ek always pierce
No, it doesn't.
k ty
what about voidwalkers for pierce
Solid option saves you some points on the tree and a link however getting hold of a pair early into the league in HC is a serious pain so I didn't include them as this was mostly meant as a league starter option. That being said feel free to pick them up and play around with the links a little bit to compensate.
Is it a good idea to actually pick CI as a starter character? Feels like getting a decent 6link chest is too costly and takes too long to get the money for it.
You should be fine without a 6L for a while since poison is poison and with the addition of essences getting usable CI gear within the first week of the league is fairly achievable.
I see you're talking about starter builds recently, which of course makes sense with 2.6 coming in a couple of days. What I'd love to know is the scaling potential of these "starter" builds. I'm a newb, so I'd like to know if I will be able to do chayula/uber atziri/guardians/shaper with this build, once I get decent gear? Should I just take the dps numbers as a "yes"?
Uber Atziri/Guardians/Shaper rely a lot on your personal skill. Noone but you can say if you can do them with said build. You can however look up their health numbers at poedb.tw/us
By the time you have the money for a 6link, the value of 700+ es regalias are not relevant in comparison to the value of the 6link itself.
Stun?
The only problem is that your mana pool is so small, you couldn't even cast ek once.
no stun inmunity as CI .... you missed that tarke bro , nice build btw
how are you leeching? just flask?
You said 3.0 changes barely touch this build.
*Double Dipping gets removed*
*OH CRAP*
This tree is made for starting in 2.6 and is mostly safe to the 2.6 tree changes. The 3.0 balance changes happen in 3.0.
doesn't ek auto pierce?
man could only wish for that...
Does anyone know if I use a Consuming Dark, can I get shockwave totems to poison?
If you have any chaos damage on your shockwave totem, then yea it will poison with the chaos damage part.
Thanks. I was thinking of using added chaos and get some sick double dips.
Added chaos doesn't doubledip. It only adds flat chaos damage to the initial hit.
Stuff like area damage and nodes like that will doubledip on it the poison if that's what you meant though
Thanks for the help mate!
No stun prevention?
skyforth
As I say in the video use whatever you want for stun prevention, as people have vastly different preferences when it comes down to stuns as CI. Be it the amulet, ring, boot enchant, skyforth if your rich or straight yolo and pray.
do you think Ming's heart is worth it?
I think it's a pure greed item that isn't really needed that being said a friend of mine used one in a sc bladevortex char and his tooltip ego was quite impressive.
Bro where that ice shot starter?
For pure elemental bow builds that are very dependant on the new tree changes I would rather wait until I have the passive tree update. I felt safe with the BA trees since they will just have mild routing changes as they mostly focus on generic double dipping nodes. While Ice shot will most likely want to chase wherever they put the new conversion nodes and raw physical bow scaling for said conversion.
Would appreciate a video on that at some point. Ice Shot would be a build I'd like to visit later in league, probably my favorite bow skill besides tornado shot.
link the whole export from Path of Building please, just use pastebin
It's there in the description.
Missed it ty !
What about with sire of shards lul.
The build is cool and all, but if you strip it down to basics and remove flasks up, gosu gear and 20 wither stacks etc. for a SSF char, i'ts only like 30k damage
yeap, and thats the sad part, because you wont be using wither on trash and clearspeed.
any heralds being used?
hello sir can i use steel rings instead of diamond rings? pls reply im doing this build...
AoE get's nerfed... Tarke goes for projectile based AoE... because f*** the system :D
Ethereal Knives is not an AoE skill :P
i think that was his point :D
I dont think Ek with the new jewel is meant to be played as selfcast, in my imagination at least its even worse than selfcast EK without the jewel, why would just wanna into packs if u can just stay in range?
Probably more suited for CoC or traps /mines.
Your Ring & Amulet have life rolls on them but you have CI.
Yeah those where just left overs from when people asked for a life tree that I forgot to swap out, just change those rolls to ES.
I don't get it. How does that claw help for this build? It is for attacks.
72 mana cost and 79 mana pool seems sketchy.
With spell echo you will be fine and this is with no mana increases on gear etc If it becomes a real issue you can always shift one of your curses onto a CoH Orb which will also do a nice job of keeping your powecharges up on bosses. Once you get your hands on a leech enchant on boots you can drop blas warlords completely and mana should no longer be an issue
getting to this level of ES is not going to be particularly budget
I don't understand why you'd go CI with this...
You'd just be perma-stunned and perma-frozen and die constantly lol.
Also the fact you chose to get poison via consuming dark is strange. Wouldn't you get higher poison dps and total dps if you were to just use the poison gem and a rare spell dagger? That way you'd get your chaos AND phys to contribute to poison?
I'm probably being dumb and just missed some stuff, care to elaborate?
4.5mil dps what the FUCK. i thought my 1mil dps ignite build was high in the builder..
then again you were calculating with max wither stacks which is utter bs since that will never be true except on some bosses, but you probably had the mob type turned to regular so. the numbers are misleading.
To be honest I would never recommend following Path of Building's dmg numbers too blindly, it is mostly best for comparing the strength of nodes / gear and getting rough ballpark figures of defense numbers.
Oy vey delet this, I wanted to buy the treshold jewel for cheap, hoping nobody would run EK.
pathfinder is wayyyyyyyyyy better
