sounds like they tried to pull an muskrat n rmt to the top w/o understanding any game mechanics. 100d build and you still don't know how to make a build? like wut m8.

You know what? It's posts like this that really trigger me



Go do the counting yourself. I think just the last 5 days about maybe 80 divs in trade plus all the exalts should amount to round about 100d.

Or perhaps and this is a perhaps...instead of saying the game has shortcomings why not look at what you did. What mechanic did you not learn? Where is your build short? What supports could be changed to maximize dps?

This kind of stuff your complaining about are all things that make this game good. You have to face all this stuff and figure out a way to best it.


Can you post your current build on poe ninja so maybe we can all help you out in a more direct way?

> What mechanic did you not learn?

I am too stupid to dodge all mechanics / attacks until I manage to get the setup for Snipe in 7/10 times on maps, and 10/10 times on special bosses, citadels and ubers.

It's a skill issue 100% but it's one where I don't believe I would need to have this level of skill to pull it off.

For example the Stone Citadel. The fight has two phases, each phase I need two Snipes to clear. So a total of 4 Snipes but each snipe requires freeze which takes time to set up. So far I wasn't able to perform this fight flawlessly three times. I lost three citadels to 1hkos on something that should be an okay-ishly build.

And it's not like I just entered maps, died a few times, and now I'm sad. I've been on maps on day 2.

I don't know if my build is short of anything at this point. There's people on Ninja who are doing just fine with basically a carbon copy of me.

Technically I could try to just go absolutely full ES but idk. I would need to trade in some of my existing gear to pivot, just to see how that would work out. I don't see many builds on Ninja doing that as well with Amazon

I appreciate the civility and the humble nature of this discussion. Ill keep it civil back :)

Im looking at your build and I get what you are trying to achieve but it seems there is a lot of just stat points and not enough notable nodes.

For instance, on the bottom of your skill tree you went A long ways just to get that jewel socket when you could have utilized those points on somewhere you already have a line to gain more dps or survivability.

Im not to well versed in amazonion builds so I can't give you exactly the right path but that is what it seems like to me. There just isn't enough notable nodes adding flavor to your character. Below is my build

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Hyperspacing-5593/character/fivemeodmt

Right now, even thougth poeninja is saying 12k, im sitting at around 40k DPS base with maul and I got a bunch of bonuses that flavor with my build. You can see I chose a direction and along the way picked up any notable node that is worth it. There was no wasted paths. Every path lead to more than just 1 positive thing (like just a jewel socket).

The big thing about building is you will eventually figure it out and find your flavor.

I would look over the gear and supports and see if there is anything you can do to change that fits your game style. Its also no uncommon that sometimes you pick a build that just doesn't mesh with how YOU play the game. Not every build can be played by every person. My buddy played a sorc last league and I literally had to leave the party cause I couldn't see anything at all and it was starting to hurt my eyes lol

I think what you see as friction and resistance is just an oppurtinty for you to rise to the occasion and overcome this. I think you can do it mate. You said it yourself. A bunch of other people with carbon copys of your build are doing it and doing it just fine...

You can do it too mate...just might take more time to get there friend

Of course, I'll stay civil with people who make an attempt to help.

And I know what you're trying to say. The build isn't the problem, strictly speaking. I just think I went with something that has a high skill ceiling to set up bosses just right each time to get a perfectly timed snipe off.

For a year, I've managed really well because maps didn't require bosses, so I farmed maps until I had enough currency to make a build that one-shots bosses instead of them doing this to me.

Regarding your feedback: it's really just two stat nodes I took to get to the gem slot. I have to path to Falcon Dive anyway, since that's basically mandatory. I can't just replace the jewel with something else, since it gives me stun threshold. I'd need to take this from a node elsewhere anyway, or else I can't really play Rhoa at all.

I think I spent the last three days studying builds on Ninja. It's already quite min-maxed for what I was trying to achieve.

Bosses really shouldn't be dealing that much damage. Reduce damage, and also reduce the total amount of flask charges. That way, I can at least screw up once or twice. If I get hit three times, I deserve to die; but if GGG wants me to play the bosses, give me a chance to learn their moves.

find a node you chose to travel to that took up alot of travel nodes.

Put that node on your neck with delirium and reclaim the travel nodes.
you are too thin.

You cannot combine 3 sides of the tree
you can target a node...

looks like you are trying too much ..
Id ditch the chaos inoculation branch ..
You can also find a better path ... that looks jank getting to the monk area ..

What are your main damage goals

Naah, not much of a question of intelligence. Just reflexes and the ability to be consistent consistency and focused.

In my opinion, your build is pretty low on defenses in the end. Granted, I play HC only, so that affects my experiences here.

This is what I played last league (died at level 91, when my FPS tanked when I sprinted into a middle of abyss fracture): https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/tzaeru-0912/character/Petrilja

And I was of course very significantly tankier than seen there due to Wind Ward. Wind Ward is not included in the calculations there, so doesn't really matter. Even without Wind Ward, I had 200 more ES, 2k more life, 6.5k more EV. Also had Ghost Dance in addition to Wind Dancer. Seeing that you have 160 spirit, I'd really consider Ghost Dance, at least when bossing. It was nerfed sure and it's less "must have" now, but it's still a significant help.

In my experience, if you go CI+EV, under 8k or so of ES is on the risky side, and you'll pretty easily rip to a couple of sequential small mistakes. You're also missing Catalysis, which would be 4% less physical damage taken and 5k DPS. I think there would be opportunities to almost double your mixed-type EHP with only a small loss in DPS.

Your ring is pretty weak damage-wise. I imagine Idol of Sirrius would be more damage on the gloves? I think the bow could have been better too for a reasonable price.

The tree seems pretty okay. A few observations I made but this is mostly from a HC perspective; IMO Melding Guilt is very often worth it, even now you'd have 10 ES more (due to the pathing extra) and no slower start of recharge - not sure how much you practically get downsides from that with your ES leech? If you keep getting chip damage and not managing to leech your ES back, then Patient Barrier prolly also kinda hurts you.

When you have that low EV, many of the EV nodes don't have very high returns.

Falcon Dive is def worth it once you get it.

I'm not completely sure if the daze nodes do much there, unless I am missing some extra mechanic from being able to daze. Your DPS vs non-dazed enemies would be the same if you took Falcon Dive + 1 other damage node from anywhere you can and you'd have 1 node extra. If the daze helps you stun bosses significantly more, that can be nice, but ranged elemental damage is not usually very stunny so idk if that matters.

Spectral Ward + Subterfuge Mask is often a really nice combo on EV+ES build, but that'd of course change things a lot for you and might not be worth it seeing the uniques you prolly want to keep using.

My ring solves two issues: All of my elemental resists and rarity. The same ring with both T1 to Phys and Cold is literally not on the market.

"

Also had Ghost Dance in addition to Wind Dancer

Good point; I might actually consider Ghost Dance but only instead of Wind Dancer. I can't drop HoI for obvious reasons and Rhoa is the only reason why I am efficiently farming maps at all.

"

Idol of Sirrius

Bruh I forgot about that, I still didn't change it. Thanks mate.

"

I think the bow could have been better too for a reasonable price.

This bow was only 7 Divs. But I got it up to 26% quality now, and there's nothing comparable on the market for the same price. The next jump is 35 Divs+ which is too much rn. Obviously any big ticket item goes straight into a new bow first.

If you keep getting chip damage and not managing to leech your ES back, then Patient Barrier prolly also kinda hurts you.

Mapping feels extremely comfortable thanks to Essentia. Leech keeps me alive for basically anything except direct 1hko.

If the daze helps you stun bosses significantly more, that can be nice, but ranged elemental damage is not usually very stunny so idk if that matters.

Daze is a crazy combination with Snipe. I must stack any % dmg increase I can get in order to get as close as I can to 1-tapping bosses. I need both the crit and the dmg otherwise all single Snipes turn into two, and two into three, etc.

I have calcualted Catalysis, Crystal, and Forces of Nature as well as some other nodes. Extra damage on Dazed enemies beat them all.

I have Falcon Dive on weapon set I. Set II is only there for the galvanic thunderstorm combination for shock.

"

When you have that low EV, many of the EV nodes don't have very high returns.

It's not as little as it may seem once Tailwind etc. stacks up but yes, I hover around 50% EV with 4.1k ES right now. I tried a different variation with 5k ES but I still got one-tapped so often I decided to pivot into simply more dmg.

But it remains a gamble. And it just ain't fun losing every gamble lol

I was thinking of maybe just adding a few more levels into freeze buildups, because that's what's causing most of my problems. If at least I could really quickly freeze bosses, I'd beat them more often.

But I think I'll be taking a break until GGG comes back from their holiday break. Let's see if they acknowledge anything and make some changes.

Have you tried combo harder on the boss? What about parry?
