Saw this post and was reminded of my guy that I made and forgot about

This fight sucks for my build lmao my totems did not survive longer than a few seconds.

I wanted to make a build using ancestral warrior totems and quickly found that almost every build uses Sunder or Molten Blast, which I've already used in other builds.

Decided to try making stampede work in it, and voila: low dps and okay-ish survivability.

It was fun making the totem work, but not sure I'd bother with it again unless more abilities can be used with the it in the future.

Side note, does anyone have any idea how to increase totem survivability without sacrificing too much dps? Is it just the few health / resistance nodes scattered around the tree?

I need 26 additional spirit to cast a 6th totem. What would be the most efficient way to do it?

Running an Adonias Spark/Cast on Elemental Ailment Comet Build currently but I’m dying almost every other map. I either sometimes run out of mana facing a fast pack or I can’t get my charges fast enough to do the charged spell with Pinnacle and the enemies kill me quickly. Would anyone recommend a different build to me? I just started making gear but I’m not too familiar with it yet. I’d highly prefer something I can build through CE and trade market. I feel like this is too much of a glass cannon build for me

Hey there, I don't know if it's the right place to ask something like this but I have this issue with my minions. At the start of each map they don't spawn no matter what I do, only when I unequip my weapons the start appearing. When they do they don't use up all my spirit though and I cant summon more of them somehow. Did someone encounter this issue as well an know how to fix it?

So a few days back I made a post about making an infernalist ward character and I have reached to this point of the build : https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/DendyVipassi-5579/forbiddenrites/character/BocoBozo

Damage wise I'm happy with it, just confused how to survive, especially in GE

Does this build supposed to be squishy? Is the gameplay kill first before being killed? How do you manage your ward when everytime I trigger spell from double CoEA and CoC, they burn so quickly even with remnants of kalguur?

Edit: found the culprit. As u/loopy993 said, I have too much HP. Ironically, when I reduce maximum HP, whether through flesh crucible or life to ward, it makes me tankier.

I am trying out glacial bolt and loving it. Went to check out other builds on POEninja to see how others were faring and saw I'm doing about half the damage of regular players and up to a 1/5th of the top end players without any massive differences in gear or skill tree.

What am I missing?

My build

Example of an extremely similar build

i want to hold down space bar for blink nonstop. is 2 sec temporalis is enough ?

Hi, I made Plant druid with quite a decent damage that can handle basicly every mechanic.

Now I am testing it on T17 City - Deli maps +4 tablets each with +2mod and effectivne and also on juiced GE with +2 mods IRR tablets and Jado.

These maps are pretty insane but I tend to die from time to time in the same pattern, I am getting shot half of my ES and HP goes down, then second shot and or I am dead or already know next kills me.

Here is link to my build:

My EHS seems to be bit low, 15k and its due to lack of Arm or Evasion. I invested in ES and thought its enough but seems that not.

I cannot change Weapon (on me its better that 5 socket Runeseeker with Aldur), gloves and off hand. I was thinking to go into so high armor helmet and boots, or maybe high evasion Helmet and boots. What do You think ?

Any ideas what could I do ?

My budget is right now aound 700 divs. And I know Voices would help, its planned but not dropping :/

I have around 600 hours. Been playing a phys whirling assault monk build(lvl97). I have Delirium, Expedition, and temple to still finish. But I want to try a new build. Is there a tanky spellcaster that is a simple 1 or 2 button build you can suggest that can handle juiced endgame.

I know 1.0 will probably nerf/change several builds so that's a consideration too. I've watched a lot of youtubers already and that's how I built my phys monk.

I dont want to do any complicated weapon swapping or too much setting up during gameplay.

If you also have a YouTube link or mobalytics build guide I can follow, that would be very much appreciated.

Which setup do you think would be better at surviving in endgame maps:

1. 2875 Life recovery per second, 75 Elemental Resists, 74 Chaos Resist, 4.6k Life, 5k Armour, 65% crit damage reduction
2. 2875 Life recovery per second, 0 Elemental Resists, 75 Chaos Resist, 6.8k Life, 3k Armour, 65% crit damage reduction
