Path of Exile (PoE) 3.22 Delve Early Farming Guide: 7 Tips for Success

POE 3.26 brought back a lot of players, and the new leagues made everyone start over. Choosing a good starting build can save you a lot of time. But POE 1 and POE 2 are very similar, the item drop rate is too low compared to other similar games, so players need a build that does not rely on unique items and POE 1 currency, and is good to farm speed and boss damage. Such requirements seem too high, but POE 1’s class system is designed to be very complex and therefore can meet the various needs of players. Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist is a very useful build from the beginning of the season to the endgame. Pros And Cons Pros High damage with a small amount of gear Safe playstyle Solo Self-Found friendly Cons Defenses may be breached Damage has some delay Skills The following skills represent all the skill gems and support gems included in this build once it is fully built: Explosive Arrow: Ballista Totem Support, Ignite Proliferation Support, Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks Support, Awakened Burning Damage Support, Awakened Deadly Ailments Support Summon Chaos Golem: Summon Stone Golem, Summon Flame Golem, Summon Lightning Golem. Arcanist Brand: Flammability, Flame Surge, Flame Wall Cast when Damage Taken Support: Molten Shell Precision: Determination Grace: Enlighten Support, Flame Dash, Arcane Surge Support Frenzy: No Blood Rage: No In the early stages of the game, you play as a witch in the same way as a normal witch. But after you get Fixture of Fate, you need to go to Library and find Gem Vendor to get the following gems for backup: Explosive Arrow Ballista Totem Support Faster Attacks Support Grace Haste Blood Rage Frenzy You will need to embed these gems into your weapons later. When you reach Act 4, you need to go to Oyun and get your Golems. You can get them from Vendor in the town. Each Golem requires 1 Chance Orb. Here are Golems you need: Summon Flame Golem Summon Lightning Golem Summon Stone Golem Summon Chaos Golem Although these Golems can’t take much damage, you will enjoy the benefits of these Golems after you get Liege of the Primordial. They can provide resistance and health regeneration. But remember to reactivate them every time you change equipment or socket out. Equipment The advantage of Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist build is that it is not very dependent on equipment, because the game’s drop mechanism does not always drop the equipment you need. If the equipment is better, then change it. However, since the survivability of this build is relatively weak, you need to pay attention to stacking more resistances when adjusting equipment, and your goal is to stack all resistances to 75%. You can equip Sapphire Ring and Ruby Ring after level 20 to increase your resistance to the maximum. Besides resistance, you can pay attention to the following affixes when choosing equipment: Increase attack speed Increase casting speed Increase dodge Increase accuracy (make sure to reach 100%) Increase maximum speed In addition, you need to avoid some misyakes: 1. First, this build needs to use a bow, but you need to avoid using slow bows, and they will seriously reduce your DPS. 2. Secondly, avoid making the number of projectiles an even number, because this may cause your arrows to split and miss the boss. 3. Finally, you must pay attention to Accuracy. Although Explosive Arrow is your skill, it is the same as your normal attack. If Accuracy is not high enough, your arrows will not hit the enemy. Especially in the later stages of the game, stronger enemies will make it more difficult for you to hit, so it is best to let Accuracy reach 98 to 100. After you have cleared all the campaigns, you can start to really build your weapons and armor. At this time, all your unused POE Divine Orb, Chaos Orb, etc. will come in handy. You don’t have to buy POE 1 currency anymore. Find a normal or rare equipment as a base and try to reroll the affixes you need most. Since the survivability of Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist is relatively weak, you also need Flasks to provide you with additional resistance in battle. You can use currency to change the affixes of each Flask. Below are the Flasks and affixes you need. Eternal Life Flask: Immune to Bleeding or Corruption Bleeding while Flask is in effect Quartz Flask: Increases evasion while Flask is in effect Quicksilver Flask: Increases armor while Flask is in effect Granite Flask: Increases movement speed while Flask is in effect Jade Flask: Reduces curse effects while Flask is in effect This build may have some damage deficiencies after you enter the endgame, you can convert it to other builds to increase damage. You can also continue to improve various aspects of this build, which can also bring good damage. The above are the equipment and skills required for Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist builds. This is a build used for leveling and early transitions, so there is a lot of flexibility in the choice of skills and equipment, and you can adjust it according to the currency and equipment you have.

Winter Orb has long been considered one of the most powerful mapping skills in Path Of Exile. Because it doubles your character’s casting speed, not only do you get faster movement speed on the map, but your damage is also significantly increased. But when an item or skill becomes ridiculously powerful, it will also be greatly weakened. After all, the developers cannot let a certain mechanism dominate, and balance is what they pursue. Winter Orb Buff After the nerfs to Winter Orb in the previous league updates, it has been difficult to adapt to today’s builds, so in POE 3.26, they have once again buffed Winter Orb. Winter Orb is a channelling skill that summons an orb above you and shoots projectiles at nearby enemies. Once the projectile hits the ground, it explodes and deals area damage. Continuing to channel will increase the skill level, but the skill level will gradually decay when you stop channeling. Winter Orb now has a damage increase of about 26%, which is a strong damage buff that is definitely worth trying at the start of your league. Let’s take a look! Is Winter Orb Build Worth Trying? To be honest, Winter Orb is a good skill choice for a league starter build, but it is obviously not as strong as other meta skills that many people are using. Although only 0.6% of players are using Winter Orb build, it is good enough for me to reach Tier 16 maps and get two Voidstones. Unique Items And the build budget for this skill is very low, not even a POE Divine Orb. We used four unique items, but don’t worry, they are all very affordable at the current price. Bitterdream I think the first and most important unique weapon is Bitterdream Shadow Sceptre. It basically makes our Winter Orb be 9-link, and it has some nice extra features, such as it allows us to get Frenzy Charges from Ice Bite Support when we kill an enemy. Carcass Jack Since we don’t have to use 6-link body armour, we can use a cost-effective unique item like Carcass Jack, which also gives us 40%-50% area of ​​effect. AOE effect is necessary for Winter Orb, which allows our projectiles to overlap and fire consecutive projectiles unaffected by shotgun defense. Ideally, our area of ​​effect radius needs to be at least 2.6m or larger. Badge Of The Brotherhood Also, since we are stacking Frenzy Charges, we can also use Badge of the Brotherhood Turquoise Amulet to get a lot of Frenzy Charges for free. Now, currently this build only has Bitterdream Sceptre and Ice Bite Support to generate Frenzy Charges, and it generates charges on kills, which is not ideal. Ideally, we want to get Frenzy Charges on hit, which means we can also get enough charges in boss fights, but this requires more POE Currency investment. Because the key to getting Frenzy Charges is influenced body armor, and getting 6-link body armor at the start of a league is going to be very expensive. Mark Of Submission Finally, one more item we need is Mark of Submission unique ring, which allows us to curse enemies with Frostbite when we hit them, so that we can benefit from Occultist’s Profane Bloom. How To Improve Survivability? In general, this version of the Winter Orb build is a good mapper, even if its single target damage is not very good, it will be painful to not have Frenzy Charges in boss fights, but we have a 4-link gear and a Spell Totem Support to help boost single target damage, so the overall survivability is okay. Also, Frost Shield really helps a lot in this build, and the benefit is that since we scale such a large area of ​​​​effect, our shield radius is very large, so we have more room to move. And we can also help improve survivability by adding Endurance Charge generation and Life Leech and Cluster Jewels, and a little spell suppression. Now, in POE 3.26 leagues, we can even kill some mercenaries on high-level maps with this build, even killing them in one shot. If you have a mercenary with Determination and Molten Shell, you can also get more survivability. In Path of Exile, these two are a powerful defensive combination, especially when paired with high armor values. Molten Shell absorbs damage based on your armor, and Determination is an aura that significantly increases your armor. This synergy allows Molten Shell to absorb more damage and may trigger more often, reflecting damage back to the enemy, so that you will not die even in Tier 16 maps. Final Thoughts Of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this version of Winter Orb. To further push the upgrade optimization of Winter Orb build, we must get rid of Bitterdream, Carcass Jack and get some more typical endgame items. You know, all Occultist equipment that can stack Power Charge is what this build needs. In any case, if you are interested in Winter Orb and want to complete a build around this mapping skill, then try it out as soon as possible. I believe Winter Orb buffs for this league update will not disappoint you!

Attention to news in advance, get content updates, and get a better gaming experience    Time has passed a little boring. It has been four months since the release of Path of Exile: Necropolis. I believe most players are tired of waiting, and player retention for Necropolis has dropped much faster than expected. It has been four months, and it is time to release the next new league launch of POE. It is exciting that the developer Grinding Gear Games has revealed that the name of the new league is Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur. Let’s take a look at Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur launches below. The trailer released is only 25 seconds long. The only information we can get from the trailer released by Grinding Gear Games is that Faustus came to Rogue Harbor to welcome a very charismatic captain. Apart from this, we can’t get any more information. Date But don’t worry, as usual. Developer Grinding Gear Games will hold a live broadcast one week before the release of the new league, which is July 18th, 1 PM PDT. In a live broadcast, we can learn about the new content of the expansion pack and the league in detail, including the balance or QOL changes that appear in the update and POE Currency that can be obtained after the update. Mark Roberts of Grinding Gear Games and ZiggyD will be on the scene to answer some questions from the audience. According to the current information, we can get some reservation effects such as Heralds and Auras. It is still preserved after death. This can reduce some boring links, such as not having to spend time reapplying all Heralds and Auras after resurrection. To some extent, this improvement avoids some more trivial troubles, and we can spend time on more worthwhile parts of the game. At the same time, there may be people like you and me who forget to apply Heralds and Auras and die because of it. Overall, QOL changes are very beneficial to players. New League Mechanic I believe that most players are looking forward to what mechanic of this new league are like me. We can speculate based on the information in the trailer. First, we can see Faustus, and then we can see a fence that already exists in Rogue Harbor in the current version. These are an important part of Heist league mechanic. Faustus exists to act as a supplier, allowing players to exchange Heist Targets for Rogue’s Markers. In the trailer, we can also see that the background just after Faustus boarded the ship is a settlement under development, which seems to have sheep and buildings similar to windmills. New Settlement We can boldly speculate that the development of the new settlement reminds me of Wraeclest, and we can be responsible for developing new land. In the trailer, we can also see a sea area. Can we dive into the seabed or fish in the sea? Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur launches on July 26th for Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Players can already expect some game balance changes, new League mechanic and rewards, and some system improvements. We can keep an eye on it.
