You will not find a Shako for 20c, that is a common misprice for Shakos so it's worth keeping a snipe open just in case. As I said in the video: expect to pay 50-100 divines for it. (or more now)
sold 7 of them earlier in league for 100-120 div, anything less than 80 for one that doesn't brick impending doom (make sure to test before you buy one) is a bargain Also, as pathfinder your cast is actually later in the animation than the witch, so you need higher cast speed in order to proc the impending doom explosion first cast. At later levels you won't notice but if you are leveling with it you will. In order to proc first cast when leveling, don't put spell cascade in your temp chains setup. (The one that will be in your shako) With witch you will proc first cast when leveling, with pathfinder, if you are not proccing first cast while leveling, get more cast speed.
I've almost finished the build and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents: 1. You can roll increased effect on your topaz flask and still maintain full uptime with some flask effect tattoos. Helps you to cap lightning res much easier 2. Just take whispers of doom and then take the curse mastery that gives you 20% chance to poison cursed enemies. You also pick up curse AOE on the way. You then don't need extra curses on your amulet and it lets you hit 100% chance to poison much easier without the need to annoint toxic strikes. This allows you to annoint skittering runes instead, which means you don't need imposible escape and frees up a jewel slot. I used this to slot in a stormshroud and with some shock avoidance on my boots this gets you full elemental ailment immunity 3. The build is tough against single hits but I still found myself dying to lots of little hits in harbinger maps and simulacrum. So I swapped in defiance of destiny (which is much easier to do now that you don't need extra curse corruption on your amulet) and now the build is basically unkillable. 4. If you can get a megalomaniac with Enduring Composure (gain an endurance charge every second if you've been hit recently) you can get consistent endurance charges. This makes you significantly tankier, but is quite difficult to find, so I haven't ticked endurance charges on my POB. Build is awesome when you can run it but it does get bricked by a bunch of different map mods - no regen, reduced aura effect, reduced AOE, reduced cooldown, chance to avoid poison, reduced flask charges. I can probably only run about 1/3rd of the 8 mod maps I self farm. my current POB: pobb.in/KBbUv-SMmUqE
If you use that enchant you have to press your flask at the start of each map to start the automatic activation. Sometimes I forget and die. And I'm lazy and can't be bothered. @@JoseRojas-fl4jf
@@JoseRojas-fl4jf also on PF you can get the recover % life on flask use so if flasks are being used all the time you get lots of survivability while mapping.
I think where a lot of people get caught up on the withered stacks is taking the chaos mastery that gives 5% chance to inflict max stacks. They see "5% chance" and assume it'll trigger every couple/few seconds or whatever, but it's 5% chance *when you inflict withered*, so effectively only a 1.25% chance.
@@GE_Photon_Lord I mean, it is a pretty good mastery, 5% chance to inflict 15 withers is on avg 70% more wither. If you take wither duration it can comfortably let you sustain wither with just reprisal given a fast hitting skill. (Tho on a non-cdr build just click balance of terror smh).
I've come to the opinion content creators ought to just make whatever they want and point out the value of the build is in the techniques it demonstrates not the specific build because literally anything that can be price jacked will be. People are objecting to the shako but if it wasn't that it'd be something else. Build looks fascinating, BTW. I'll go over it in the morning cos too tired now, but thanks for making it and the video.
@rileystrom8530 this is why certain builds are legit viral... like I can't even play RF anymore cus of Phox 🤣 he's got a 1-100 any every nook and cranny covered for anyone. My lazy build is always expensive now 🤣
@@rileystrom8530 The truth is anyone who can't price a build by looking at it is going to struggle to earn enough currency to make anything other than league starters, they just don't have the game knowledge. The emphasis needs to be shifted onto teaching the playerbase so they escape this pathetic position of learned helplessness where they can only copy builds and get forced into overpaying for everything because they don't really know what they're doing. The question "Can I afford this build?" is the single greatest cause of toxicity in the POE community because it means the person asking it doesn't know what they're doing but is hoping someone else will tell them that that doesn't matter. "Can I afford this build?" means, "Can I blindly follow these instructions with no understanding and everything is going to be easy and nothing is going to change?", when the mere fact that they are in that position means they are going to be exploited by those who do understand and that will make things more difficult for them.
I loved impending doom before they made it super expensive to be able to play it. Glad to see it still exists and seems to function pretty well if you get the pieces together
Impending Doom Pathfinder a few leagues back (I think in Affliction league) was my absolute favorite build. I've played since Metamorph and nothing felt more fun to me than that character and I thought it was as good as gone. I've played PoE on and off since then but never found the same level of fun as I had playing that build. To see it shining here, with relatively the same level of tank and damage, it really makes me want to play the game again. I may just have to. Thank you for sharing this with us and showing that Impending Doom is indeed not dead!
Been playing pretty steadily for almost 2 years now, never been able to put together a build anywhere near this “zoomy”, think I’ve hit a wall that I need to find a way over.
ive played this build back in TOTA, i highly suggest binding ur lifeflask to space bar key. i do that on all of my builds now, its alot more comfortable and reactive.
@@Sonofhroft you can use a different button then, but spamming the life flask while it's in the default key is super hard on ur hands, I suggest finding another button to it, like or something easy for you to click without much movement. You can also bind it to one of your mouse buttons if you wish
I love your builds and how you approach build creation. I wanted to try out Impending Doom with Transcendence Pathfinder back in the day, but that was just on the league they changed the Spell Cascade so went with Molten Strike instead. This is a fresh take and even though I might not finalize it this league, it is still an awesome experience to go through the maths with you. Big cheer from me, subtractem!🔥
From a new player perspective, unorthodox builds like this just seem super cool. What causes the wide stary effect on the ground from the curse rotation? I couldn't find a skill effect which matches it.
I'm pretty sure thats just how base curses look when you overlap so many with that much AOE. Looks the same as my impending doom did in previous league and I didn't have any skill effect to cause it.
Dwag, where in the heck are you getting that nasty amethyst ring from?? Theres no mirrored "increased area of hex" rings anywhere close to 60% , esp with chaos, lightning res, or anything else..?
Hey Subtractem, can you explain a little bit more why the affix deadly ailments does not work but the socketed one does? Isn’t the socketed gem still supporting temporal chains since that’s the spell?
aactually checked, and even lvl30, which is already kinda trash territory for the build (may as well go with it in chest really) has old offline listings at 5 minimum.. so yeah, 20c right XD
@@mmhg2986 he said people sniped this for 20c during league before jung videos, some poe players literally cannot understand so simple thing, only good to copy build without ability to make very simple conclusions...
I believe that everybody knows how expensive this build is. That being said, here are quick reminders for those who are planning to craft the wand and ring. 1. Wand - This can cost you more than the ring if you're unlucky in unveils. Blocking phys% doesn't guarantee hitting the chaos dmg/duration mod. You can test it in craftofexile before actually attempting it. Veiled orbs are currently priced at 15D in SC. Suffix cannot be changed will cost you 2D already for every prefix cleaning and veiling attempt. If you have a lot of div to spare, it's relatively easy to hit +1 level to chaos skill gems in horticrafting after locking the suffix. You'll either get chaos dmg or +1 level mod. But you're risking a 50/50 chance of erasing suffix cannot be changed and +1 level once you use veiling orb. 2. Ring - The fracture is EXPENSIVE. But it's the only option. As far as I know, you can't hit the mod using fossil on ordinary rings. To hit the 4.8m AOE breakpoint using his tree, you will need more than 36% area of hex skills on the ring. I'm not entirely sure about this. I needed another hex are of effect in the tree for my 34% ring to reach 4.8m AOE. As for the crafting, it's better to use a few essence of delirium and annul attempts than to spam those expensive delirium essence. A div will only get you 5 essence of delirium if I'm not mistaken. Once you only have the hex AOE and dot multi suffix, just lock it and horticraft caster for guaranteed cast speed. It has a high chance of hitting T1 or T2 cast speed. For life, lock suffix then horticraft life. It can hit phys life or max life. Every attempt is around 2.8D (lifeforce and sacred LF). Benchcraft mana if before an exalt slam if you're feeling lucky. Then final benchcraft with non-channeling skills.
@@MegaWolph2 I see. I'm not that familiar with beastcrafts yet. So, locking suffixes can go down to 80-90c. Thanks for the info! I personally went for the +1 chaos and benchcrafted DoT for now. I slowed down a bit. Very unlucky and burned 150 divs attempting to hit the chaos veiled mod.
Hey mate, I followed your build. I'm level 78 and decided to switch to Impending Doom since the only things missing are my 2 awakened cascade lv6 gems at 82. The fist cast does not trigger the doomblast. I need to cast it twice or more for it to trigger. All flasks on, no mana issue. Would that work when the awakened Spell cascade gems are socketed?
I think a CDR/100% wither on hit balance of terror is most effective for the build, as you have one of the buffs up anyway and for the other you can press one button every 10s/when needed.
It's ok but you have to manually press Despair every 10 seconds so you need a second one in a socket and you also lose a Balance of Terror mod. I'm not a huge fan of that option when a Wither Totem setup is so easy.
Then you lose 25% cdr from the temp chains balance of terror, I think that's just too much of a sacrifice versus dropping Wither totems on an occasional boss.
It's a little depressing that of the two viable curse damage based builds in the game right now, Hexblast and Impending Doom, Hexblast is best on Trickster and Impending Doom at least appears to be best on Pathfinder. Not saying that Occultist is a dead ascendancy or anything; it just feels like maybe a bit of a one-trick pony atm. This was an extremely fun video; I loved Impending Doom and I'm glad it's still viable. Thanks for sharing this.
My biggest issue creating builds is understanding defense. How many layers do I need. Are there any specific MUST HIT numbers for specific defense you're looking for as a minimum for a character etc... Any help would be appreciated
Do you think it's possible to make this build as a starter and take it to the endgame as we could 3-4 leagues ago? I'd love to play it again, but have no clue what's changed.
Can we just buy a Supported by Level 30+ Impending Doom and still have a blast or the perfect +35 is required ? because for a lost of DPS its 10x cheaper
Is there a way in making Ignite Impending Doom with a combination of Defiled Forces for ignite refresh to keep the strongest ignite up att all time?? Been trying to play around with that concept but since I am a big ass newbe when it comes to build creation I can't really seem to get it to work..
I would never play any master surgeon build with the shortcut on nº 4. You're a madman. I use it right besides of whatever shortcut I'm using my main skill, press midless both together while mapping and I literally forget about it. I only mind managing it at every 4 secs in single target.
was gonna bulild this prob still is but gonna have to farm WAY more cuz the prices are gonna go fucking mental "tho i like ur touches on it" nice vid :(
will going immortal call brick the build? i went for enduring composure megalomaniac + immortal call so it does increase my total ehp by a lot and went for life flask recovery affected by vitality with lightning dmage taken as watchers
BoT Despair is really tough to fit comfortably into this build unless you like wasting a socket and losing a BoT mod for temp chains. The CDR mod is mandatory.
couldn't you also use the Delve ring modifier "curse skills have 25-40% increase skill effect duration" together with a reflecting mist to make a ring with around 45-49% *reduced* curse skill effect duration, mirror that with Kalandra ring to achieve a curse duration slightly shorter than your cast speed and ultimately skip the entire over-writing situation? you'd lose the benefit of the additional curses on the enemy but your proc rate would go from 0.25 (limited by glove) to 0.15 (limited by the gem). you wouldn't need awakened spell cascade anymore either (not that it's that pricey anymore). the curse mastery would also be available then for 1% life+mana recovered per cast, per enemy hit. could get a curse back with an aura-version (despair flask or blasphemy-based). not sure if it works out better or not but that's what i thought was going to happen when i saw Reflected jewellery was back.
Yeah I talk about it in the video, I hate it too. There's a good amount of level 32 impending doom shakos which you lose about 15-20% damage available but they can all go quick.
as a person, who played poison fr for 2 leagues, pressing life flask each 3 seconds i must say - thunk again, again and again before trying to play this build
i played this in necropolis, level 32 shako. It's... uh, servicable. Aoe is nice but CDR altars per power charge brick the build and i kinda cba to read the alters lol xD I would rate this build some 6-7/10. Playable and viable but it's expensive and youre not getting the bang for your buck. Props if you can drop such a shako and sell it for 120 divs tho.
Since you have so much chaos res why not use a Forbidden Taste that would recover 100% of your health constantly and the chaos dot might not be so bad or noticeable at all.
Because Forbidden Taste is not a life flask. Master Surgeon extends Life Flasks (And Hybrid Flasks, but let's ignore that for now). Are you suggesting running Forbidden Taste along side a Life Flask?
@@Tripleyou No FT alone I just though it would activate and top him off constantly as he maps and gains charges from kills but I haven't plated many flask recharge build so maybe FT is just not for this build.
The big thing is the risk/reward for posting any build guide related content. I get more views and revenue from 5 minute tip videos than hour long build guides than take 1-2 weeks to put together AND you get all the whiners. After looking at the analytics this league I might actually fully get out of sharing builds at all and mostly focus on other content.
1. quad resonator with fossils: aberrant, fundamental, sanctified, hollow until suffixes are done 2. suffixes cant be changed (wild bristle matron beast craft works) veiled orb, craft mana to block and unveil movement speed 3. get lucky and exalt slam T1 armour
bleed and cb absolutely can feel bad even with 2k life/sec if you have enough stacks on you. i know because i ran into that issue and it's why i use the life flask craft that I do.
@@subtractemimpressed with how you can manage with all the people COMPLETELY missing the point of the build/skill. Great vid, will try and make this for around 3-400d. Just sad it seems difficult to fit MB as I just got mine :D
That's what the T17 looks like: Doesn't even show map mods/atlas.
Месяц назад
It amazes me how these builds all perform wonderfully but when I pick them up, with the same defensive layers while dropping a bit of damage due to currency, I still just explode from time to time 😂
I actually start to hate forbidden shako. Its just bis for so many builds like torchoak step or forbidden doom while other items like pragmatism cant buff support at all. When i pob with forbidden doom and other supports, the high base damage of forbidden shako can only be rivaled by archmage. Thats boring.
You will want to divine it down then. If it's higher than 10% you take more damage. For example, if you have 110% of Fire taken as Cold then you the damage is actually increased.
@@subtractem thank you thats what i thought , there is not many of these jewels on HC , so i bought 11 % one ... im using it but it seems im geting hit hard somewhat
No, 1% more really shouldn't be impactful. If you feel like you're getting hit too hard there is likely something else going on, maybe map mods or low chaos resist or something. You can share your pob on stream or in discord if you need it checked out.
I can see that working though you lose a gem socket to a second despair and the other temp chains balance of terror mod. I think I just prefer wither totems myself.

Dear Mister Streamer Man, how do you recover life standing on exarch rune? 8:58 i thought it turns off your recovery like maven beam.
whenever i play a master surgeon build, I bind my life flask to space bar, way less finger fatigue to hit
I've almost finished the build and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents:
1. You can roll increased effect on your topaz flask and still maintain full uptime with some flask effect tattoos. Helps you to cap lightning res much easier
2. Just take whispers of doom and then take the curse mastery that gives you 20% chance to poison cursed enemies. You also pick up curse AOE on the way. You then don't need extra curses on your amulet and it lets you hit 100% chance to poison much easier without the need to annoint toxic strikes. This allows you to annoint skittering runes instead, which means you don't need imposible escape and frees up a jewel slot. I used this to slot in a stormshroud and with some shock avoidance on my boots this gets you full elemental ailment immunity
3. The build is tough against single hits but I still found myself dying to lots of little hits in harbinger maps and simulacrum. So I swapped in defiance of destiny (which is much easier to do now that you don't need extra curse corruption on your amulet) and now the build is basically unkillable.

My biggest issue creating builds is understanding defense. How many layers do I need. Are there any specific MUST HIT numbers for specific defense you're looking for as a minimum for a character etc...
Any help would be appreciated
Could also grab the +5% chance when you inflict withered to inflict maximum number of wither stacks
but thats also not that consistent
Do you think it's possible to make this build as a starter and take it to the endgame as we could 3-4 leagues ago? I'd love to play it again, but have no clue what's changed.
Man, I wish one could still buy the portal MTX you're using
I was just about to ask which one it is lmao
Yea that fomo is one of the few things I dislike about ggg's monetization.
@@joshuahensley9395ye
i still am using the charge stacking ES occultist version in standard. not as tanky but 40m dps per click gets stuff done.
Can we just buy a Supported by Level 30+ Impending Doom and still have a blast or the perfect +35 is required ? because for a lost of DPS its 10x cheaper
Dont bother guys, you wont find a lvl35 for anywhere close 20c until you hit 60div
I say this in the video and even show every single Shako that's on the market in it so you can see what to expect to pay.
@@mmhg2986 What in the essay
its 200div now
Is there a way in making Ignite Impending Doom with a combination of Defiled Forces for ignite refresh to keep the strongest ignite up att all time?? Been trying to play around with that concept but since I am a big ass newbe when it comes to build creation I can't really seem to get it to work..
I would never play any master surgeon build with the shortcut on nº 4. You're a madman.
I use it right besides of whatever shortcut I'm using my main skill, press midless both together while mapping and I literally forget about it. I only mind managing it at every 4 secs in single target.
hi quit question how did you get Eldritch battery or you didnt ??
its from the replica flask that gives eldrich battery. along with the resistance flasks they have 100% uptime, giving you eldrich battery 100% :P
Is it ok to sacrifice 2 points for EB and then use mageblood instead?
I feel like Shako is reviving a lot of dead builds somehow
This build work without shako, less damage but if you farm t16 it's completely ok
was gonna bulild this prob still is but gonna have to farm WAY more cuz the prices are gonna go fucking mental "tho i like ur touches on it" nice vid :(
will going immortal call brick the build? i went for enduring composure megalomaniac + immortal call so it does increase my total ehp by a lot and went for life flask recovery affected by vitality with lightning dmage taken as watchers
Balance of Terror with Despair - Wither on hit for 2 seconds if you've cast Despair in the last 10 seconds. Wither Step, PF ascendancy.
BoT Despair is really tough to fit comfortably into this build unless you like wasting a socket and losing a BoT mod for temp chains. The CDR mod is mandatory.
@@subtractem Can you not just get 25% CDR elsewhere?
The only two spots for that are boots and belt and we are super tight on suffixes. It's possible but I'd say a toss up for your preferences here.
Hi guy, I'm newbie in POE. How you let life flask used by itself? Thanks
damn literally sold my impending doom build a few hours after this video posted should of waited could of gotten way more currency out of it.
couldn't you also use the Delve ring modifier "curse skills have 25-40% increase skill effect duration" together with a reflecting mist to make a ring with around 45-49% *reduced* curse skill effect duration, mirror that with Kalandra ring to achieve a curse duration slightly shorter than your cast speed and ultimately skip the entire over-writing situation? you'd lose the benefit of the additional curses on the enemy but your proc rate would go from 0.25 (limited by glove) to 0.15 (limited by the gem). you wouldn't need awakened spell cascade anymore either (not that it's that pricey anymore). the curse mastery would also be available then for 1% life+mana recovered per cast, per enemy hit.
could get a curse back with an aura-version (despair flask or blasphemy-based).
not sure if it works out better or not but that's what i thought was going to happen when i saw Reflected jewellery was back.
Sure it’s possible, good luck reflecting a good ring tho
you are giving up the spell cascade overlaps
This a jungroan alt account?
I wish ggg could make impending doom easier to work, its such a nice build
do you think you can still league start impending doom?
Man i love impending doom so much
Can you explain of show for us how you are exping this character which gear are you used?
I would like to do this build. I just wonder CDR balancing too hard or not?
Pretty cool defences here. Love the setup.
Wasn't this build declared dead after a change to how spell cascade worked? Did they change something to make it good again?
it just requires a much bigger AoE scaling to get the old overlap.
i play master surgeon with a 2s flask. it is nice to get into the rythm.
Yep, 30 divines cheapest shako now....
his build costs like 300d+ already, the shako cost isnt relevant
10% of price. It is relevant. @@MyNameIsSalo
what happens if the watcher's eye has 11% fire/cold as lightning? Just asking because you say you want it at 10%
You take more damage.
Shako build guides are the worst lol
Such a tease
Yeah I talk about it in the video, I hate it too. There's a good amount of level 32 impending doom shakos which you lose about 15-20% damage available but they can all go quick.
13:40 what is this program to capture screenshots?
Sharex
OK I give up. What portals are those?
how many curse +1 i should get?
Just gloves and one more so 2 total
Is that build could be a starter ?
I made a site for searching for Megalomaniacs as well. I'll post the link in the discord.
as a person, who played poison fr for 2 leagues, pressing life flask each 3 seconds i must say - thunk again, again and again before trying to play this build
Will it mess up the defense if you buy say a 11% watchers eye
You take a little more damage but it won't be noticable
i played this in necropolis, level 32 shako. It's... uh, servicable. Aoe is nice but CDR altars per power charge brick the build and i kinda cba to read the alters lol xD
I would rate this build some 6-7/10. Playable and viable but it's expensive and youre not getting the bang for your buck.
Props if you can drop such a shako and sell it for 120 divs tho.
whats a 10/10 build for u then ?
cant you just swap temp chains with despair and use unwaveringly evil to deal with stun instead of all those tattos + abys socket on boots?
No you lose the 25 cdr from balance of terror
@@subtractem Yeah that CDR it turns out is a huge dps component of the build, which I didn't realize for far too long lol
can you have 100% enfeeble uptime?
Hey, i'm beginner, how you use shield in mana without Eldritch Battery?
Replica sorrow flask
Since you have so much chaos res why not use a Forbidden Taste that would recover 100% of your health constantly and the chaos dot might not be so bad or noticeable at all.
Because Forbidden Taste is not a life flask. Master Surgeon extends Life Flasks (And Hybrid Flasks, but let's ignore that for now).
Are you suggesting running Forbidden Taste along side a Life Flask?
FT is an instant recovery flask that uses half of its charges and then gives you a degen. It would not fit in this setup at all.
@@Tripleyou No FT alone I just though it would activate and top him off constantly as he maps and gains charges from kills but I haven't plated many flask recharge build so maybe FT is just not for this build.
Man being a PoE content creator must be exhausting.. doesnt matter what you do.. you have 40% of comments crying and whining.. crazy
The big thing is the risk/reward for posting any build guide related content. I get more views and revenue from 5 minute tip videos than hour long build guides than take 1-2 weeks to put together AND you get all the whiners. After looking at the analytics this league I might actually fully get out of sharing builds at all and mostly focus on other content.
Might be just me, but the flasks popping because of mageblood and moving because of video cuts in the hideouyt are driving me nuts lmao
Thats not mb, its the somethin of time, gives charges every eecond or every 3 secs
@@MajorBuzzkillablethe Tides of Time belt from Uber Shaper
Mageblood doesn't make flasks pop.
Any chance you’ll make a guide on how to craft the boots for the build. Pls
1. quad resonator with fossils: aberrant, fundamental, sanctified, hollow until suffixes are done
2. suffixes cant be changed (wild bristle matron beast craft works) veiled orb, craft mana to block and unveil movement speed
3. get lucky and exalt slam T1 armour
nice
good build :)
What is price your build?
I played this couple leagues ago, couldn’t continue as my pcfans ramps proportionally with casting 😂😂😂
Can u explain me a way to craft the wand, having the same fractured modifier?
Essence of zeal until chaos dot multi. Suffix lock veiled orb craft phys damage unveil chaos. Might have to do multiple tries for prefix.
6:26 Laughs in 25 div flask
Can you do a build guide on this build show the tree and the gear please ❤
On a budget please
love the tankiness
"Level 35 impending doom" This modded item is very expensive. Any recommendations for alternative skills?
Hahahaha
can we do all übers with this build?
With investment any skill is "Better than ever".
Hope this survives next league
u can use 50% avoid stun on life flask craft. Bleed and cb deal nothing to u cuz 3k hp sec from life flask
and there is some setups with ralakesh olesya and mom precurser - that is almost immortal build
bleed and cb absolutely can feel bad even with 2k life/sec if you have enough stacks on you. i know because i ran into that issue and it's why i use the life flask craft that I do.
Can it work on a lower budget, like 30-40 div?
Helmet plus 40 divines sure. Just have to find the helmet first.
@@subtractem But helmet is 5-10c?
No, you need the specific impending doom mod on it.
@@subtractemimpressed with how you can manage with all the people COMPLETELY missing the point of the build/skill. Great vid, will try and make this for around 3-400d. Just sad it seems difficult to fit MB as I just got mine :D
I always bing my life to space and the rest to wasd
That's what the T17 looks like: Doesn't even show map mods/atlas.
It amazes me how these builds all perform wonderfully but when I pick them up, with the same defensive layers while dropping a bit of damage due to currency, I still just explode from time to time 😂
I actually start to hate forbidden shako. Its just bis for so many builds like torchoak step or forbidden doom while other items like pragmatism cant buff support at all.
When i pob with forbidden doom and other supports, the high base damage of forbidden shako can only be rivaled by archmage. Thats boring.
You usually write "how to craft items" on pob notes. I can't see this time :/
Why the jewel msust be 10% not higher ? does it bricks the build if its higher ? because i bought higher one
You will want to divine it down then. If it's higher than 10% you take more damage.
For example, if you have 110% of Fire taken as Cold then you the damage is actually increased.
@@subtractem thank you thats what i thought , there is not many of these jewels on HC , so i bought 11 % one ... im using it but it seems im geting hit hard somewhat
@@subtractem How does it Calc Do I take 1% inceased dmg with 11 % jewel ? or much more ? do I get hit into Uncapped ressitences?
No, 1% more really shouldn't be impactful. If you feel like you're getting hit too hard there is likely something else going on, maybe map mods or low chaos resist or something.
You can share your pob on stream or in discord if you need it checked out.
What is this portal skin called?
5% chance to inflict 15 wither stacks - chaos mastery
Why would this not perform that well vs juiced rogues with such defenses and ramping up damage?
Juiced rogue exiles are insane Uber Uber Uber content. I did it yesterday and the build can handle them but not comfortably.
it is possible to do league start build?
probably not, level with something else and swap after red maps
150 div is the cheapest on trade now ty
Why the hell GGG cant make life flask autouse restriction like support flask 😔
Pretty sure you go Balance of Terror Jewel for max wither uptime
Unfortunately that's for Despair and we specifically only cast Temporal Chains for the CDR modifier.
@@subtractem you only need to cast despair every 10s to have it up tho. i do it on bosses.
I can see that working though you lose a gem socket to a second despair and the other temp chains balance of terror mod. I think I just prefer wither totems myself.
"checks out shako prices"
"closes the video"
lol
life flast on left shift = no pain. The default keybinds in this and many other games are just terrible.
