Path Of Exile 3.25: The Way To Farm And Employ Thaumaturgic Dust In Settlers Of Kalguur

The content updated in Path of Exile 3.26 completely reshapes the previous build ranking. Players can now more easily get POE currency, which makes it easier for players to adjust their builds, but it is still very difficult to get top-level equipment. So what builds can be played in POE 3.26, and where does the build you are playing rank, and what are its advantages and disadvantages? Since the build combination of Path of Exile is very free and complex, the following only ranks some more classic and popular builds. Tier C Archmage Poison Spark Pathfinder Build: You can pass the level smoothly, but the gameplay is complicated and the equipment requirements are high. Ice Shot Mines Deadeye Build: Poor survivability, not flexible enough, and cannot deal with high-level monsters. Archmage Detonate Dead of Chain Pathfinder Build: Pathfinder has dragged down Archmage’s mana and recovery ability, and requires top-level equipment. Tri Stack Penance Brand Build: It is cumbersome in fast-paced battles. Icicle Mines Deadeye Build: It is good at farming maps, but it will be difficult to deal with bosses. Detonate Dead Scavenging Chieftain Build: Its survivability is not stable enough, and the farming speed is slow. Tier C builds are not suitable for this version. Even if you use POE Divine Orb to exchange them for top-level equipment, they are not only still behind other builds, but also have various defects. Tier B Righteous Fire Chieftain Build: It is quite versatile and good at defense, but it may be difficult to deal with bosses. Holy Relic Necromancer Build: It has low equipment requirements, fast farming speed, but lacks single burst, suitable for beginners. Shield Crush Champion Build: It has reliable defense, but the farming speed is not fast, suitable for hardcore players. Toxic Rain Pathfinder Build: It has high damage and clearing ability, but it is cumbersome when facing bosses. Penance Brand Inquisitor Build: High damage, but gear-dependent. Tier B Build is enough for novice players to pass the game smoothly, and it is outstanding in some aspects, but the damage limit or farming speed is not at the top level. Tier A Flicker Strike Slayer Build: High operation difficulty, but the farming map and clearance speed are very fast. Cyclone Shockwave Slayer Build: DPS is not the highest, but its powerful life stealing and close combat capabilities allow you to fight smoothly. Explosive Trap Trickster Build: Farming speed and leveling are very quick, and it also has certain survivability, but it is still far from S Tier. Power Siphon Archmage Totem Build: It will be powerful after the critical hit bonus, good at clearing the map and dealing with bosses, but a bit bulky. Exsanguinate Mines Trickster Build: It has a wonderful ability to create DoT damage, but you need to know how to play it. Lightning Arrow Deadeye Build: Good for farming and dealing with bosses, but a bit fragile. Retaliation Bleed Gladiator Build: Very good survivability, but slow. Explosive Arrow Ballista Golementalist Build: Very good for solo players, and it can deal with bosses and farm maps safely, but not fast enough. Boneshatter Berserker Build: High damage limit, can self-heal, but requires good timing and equipment. Storm Burst Totems Build: Needs some time to stack damage, and it is good for farming and dealing with bosses. Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer Build: Suitable for casual players, summons are durable and deadly, and can also deal with bosses. Blink Arrow Guardian Build: Can deal with bosses safely, but not mainstream and the damage is a bit behind S Tier. Lightning Strike Slayer Build: High damage, but equipment-dependent. A Tier builds can already meet the needs of most players. As long as you don’t pursue high damage and clearance speed, there is not much difference between Tier A and S for you. If you can use POE currency to exchange for top-level equipment for equipment-dependent builds, they will not be inferior to S Tier builds at all. Tier S Ground Slam Slayer Build: With incredible combo ability and life stealing ability, it may be the best melee build in the current version. Poison Concoction Slayer Build: Low equipment requirements, strong survivability, and fast farming speed. Smite Of Divine Judgement Slayer Build: The character can not only hit the tank heavily, but also does not rely on equipment and can continuously output. Explosive Concoction Slayer Build: Toxins provide high burst and clearing capabilities, and can survive in high-difficulty games. Poison Concoction Bouncing Pathfinder Build: One of the strongest builds in endgame, its damage can melt bosses. Archmage Vortex Hierophant Build: Tank with high damage output Volcanic Fissure Berserker Build: As a Berserker, it has high burst damage, but also can be a tank. S Tier builds are the best builds in Path of Exile 3.26. They are not dependent on equipment, have high burst and excellent survivability. If you want to farm more efficiently in the endgame, then S Tier builds are your best choice. There are more builds in Path of Exile 3.26, of course. If you have any builds that have the potential to reach S Tier, or if you think which builds should be adjusted up or down, you can also share your views.

Path Of Exile players, take note! Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur will be released on July 26! You may have already learned about what’s new in Settlers of Kalguur in some patch notes, but I believe you are still very much looking forward to Settlers of Kalguur. Although POE has been around for more than ten years, developer Grinding Gear Games is still planning various very attractive ideas for each league. Among them, there will be many upgrades and improvements in Settlers of Kalguur, but the most important one is the addition of a new City Management System. This guide will introduce you to City Management System and some fresh addition in Path Of Exile 3.25, so that you can get started faster when the official server is launched! About City Management System In Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur, there will be four old faces returning from Expedition league - Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen. They are all Kalguurans in Path Of Exile 3.25, and hope to establish trade between their country and Wraeclast. To achieve this goal, they built a new city called Kingsmarch. As you conduct daily exploration in the action RPG, this small village will slowly build into a prosperous commercial and handicraft center. In the developer’s social media and some interviews, game director Mark Neon Roberts once said that before this system, they took into account the popularity of creature collection survival and management games during this period, so they wanted to make this almost ten-year-old game more vibrant. According to the existing game screenshots and beta videos, when you build Kingsmarch, you can fill it with all kinds of people and buildings. These people and buildings all have their own uses, some can improve the satisfaction of the locals, and some can provide you with more updated facilities, such as item disenchantment, farming, and shipping routes. You can even have them run the map for you, or take advantage of some major features, most of which revolve around something that has never appeared in Path Of Exile before - gold. About Gold In Path Of Exile 3.25, you will see that in addition to daily loot and POE Currency, gold will also drop after combat, which can be used to get some tools, etc. But their major function is to pay the wages and maintenance fees of the workers you hire in Kingsmarch. In addition to the regular use, you can even use gold to reallocate points in your passive skill tree. If you are brave enough, you can also gamble with Black Market vendor! Although players have been very surprised to trade market board currencies with other players, from the developers’ perspective, they hope that players will like Black Market gambler more. Because it can generate a lot of items at its peak, probably hundreds of times more than the loot you get after a hard battle, and they can even help you pick the best ones. This means that there is no need to run your loot filter! About Automation As for the automation that players have always wanted, the developers also explained in the patch that it cannot be run all the time, only for a few days. And bluntly stated that it is impossible to run everything at level 10 efficiency now. Sometimes, you will encounter a new opponent in Kingsmarch - Sasan, Bandit Lord. Sasan will come out from time to time to hijack your workers and force you to fight him. You can choose to face the battle or directly use gold to pay the ransom of the workers, or even let the workers fend for themselves. As Path Of Exile 3.25 continues to deepen, I believe there will definitely be more ways to fight Sasan. Every time you defeat it, you will get some powerful unique items and some POE Currency. Others In addition to the changes just mentioned, there are many other things to look forward to, such as the increased pickup range in Path Of Exile 3.25. This way you can pick up loot throughout the area without having to move around too much. In addition, after the melee rework, many melee skills will be 75% stronger at level 20, and the unique items required in the melee build will be reduced, and totem gems will be removed. This may sound like a bit of a nerf to the melee class, but it is the opposite, so that these classes can deal damage on their own without relying on other gear. Even Gladiator ascendancy has been adjusted a lot, and a new skill - retaliation has been added, which is usually only available when your active shield is up. Tinctures have returned to the game, and you can use it to help your melee weapons get the most powerful bonus effect. If you still have questions or want to communicate about Settlers of Kalguur, you can join POE player community in Discord and look forward to Path Of Exile 3.25 with tens of thousands of players. iGMeet Discord will occasionally release some announcements about giving away POE Currency in this community, so you can wait quietly! All in all, Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur looks like a very exciting follow-up. Let’s look forward to the official version that will be officially released soon!

Dear Exiles, today I will bring you one of the most satisfying tank builds I have ever played in POE 3.24, which is Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction Pathfinder. Its damage, tankiness, and recovery capabilities are all staggering. In this guide, you’ll learn how builds work, and how to upgrade and craft them. Without further ado, let’s get started! Main Skill Our skill of choice is Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction. It targets a corpse and causes it to explode, which deals a percentage of the corpse’s health as fire damage. This will then continue to target other corpses in the area until either it runs out of corpses or 8 corpses are destroyed. Therefore, we will use very high life specters in our Desecrate corpse pool. Specters In the new Tier 17 map, we get new spectrums with a very high life percentage. Now Disruptor I’m using has 440% more life, Molten Soul has 420% more life, and Senior Scientist has 420% more life. You will use these 3 specters, but by default you can only have 2. So we will use Voideye unique ring and socket a level 20 Raise Specter gem. To target corpses, you need to hold “A” on your keyboard. This will bring up the corpse life bar and search for the specters I mentioned before, and use Raise Specter until you have 3. You can then remove the gems as the game will remember the specters you saved in the pool. That’s why we need high-life corpses, because we add poison to the mix. The higher the life of specters, the higher the base damage. It’s that simple. How To Convert Fire Damage? By default, fire damage does not cause poison. But there is a unique glove that allows us to deal poison damage with fire damage, and that’s Volkuur’s Guidance. Sadly, you need to get a corrupted one with Temporal Chains on hit. Otherwise, the build will be very clunky and your damage will be much worse than what you see here. Detonate Dead & Desecrate Although we cannot cast these two spells, Detonate Dead and Desecrate, at the same time, we will use Arcanist Brand and link to Desecrate. This way your Desecrate will be triggered often and you just need to hold Detonate Dead and wait for the boss’s health to disappear. You’ll build up a lot of cast speed because the faster you cast, the more Desecrate you have and the more Detonate Dead you have. This is why we chose Pathfinder, because of its ability to maintain cast speed with Silver Flask. How To Achieve 100% Chance Of Poisoning? Since this is a poison build, we need to achieve a 100% poison chance. First, we did 20% with Herald of Agony, another 20% with the glove itself, 25% from the node on the passive tree, Toxic Strikes, and the rest from the tattoo. With all this, we have a 100% chance of being poisoned. However, our biggest and best multiplier actually comes from the second source. We're going to inflict Wither on the boss, which will increase Chaos damage by 90% by default. In addition, we also get an Ascendancy node, which will increase the Wither effect and give us the opportunity to cause a Wither. Defense On the defensive side, we can convert 100% of physical damage into elemental damage. Of that, 50% comes from using Lightning Coil alone, 27% comes from Taste of Hate, 14% comes from our helmet, and we also use Watcher’s Eye so that 10% of physical damage is treated as lightning damage. Finally, I could use the newest unique belt added to the game, Tides of Time. Thanks to this belt we have 4.2k health regen, so when we take damage we can replenish ourselves immediately. If you don’t have enough POE Currency budget to buy this unique, we can also easily use Petrified Blood, which allows us to restore more than 50% of life without Life Flasks. Clear Setup If all you want is mapping, this build will be a pain to play with. So I need to come up with a suitable solution that’s easy to do but does enough damage to clear. So its clear setup is Cast while Channelling Support, Detonate Dead and Desecrate, and its trigger skill is Cyclone. This setup is very nice and comfortable to run. Not only that, but this build also has enough damage to deal with map bosses and elite monsters. Even the garbage monsters on T17 map are not a problem. You just need to rotate until you complete the map. Items Next, let’s give a brief overview of some items needed for this build. Scepter: Woe Roar Helmet: Oblivion Veil Shield: Spirit Bulwark Body Armor: Lightning Coil Talisman: Sorrow Torc Rings: Maelstrom Spiral & Bramble Circle Boots: Hate Road Belt: Tides of Time Gloves: Volkuur’s Guidance Passive Tree Finally, let’s highlight some things needed to build on a passive tree. We took Pathfinder as Ascendancy and adopted Nature’s Reprisal, a node that was a game changer in the early going. Additionally, we have Nature’s Adrenaline to generate more Flask Charges. And Master Toxicist is a pretty big multiplier for this poison build. Finally, there is Master Surgeon. With this, you can activate your Life Flask even if your life is full. Anyway, that’s the end of this guide. I hope you enjoyed this guide on Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction Pathfinder. See you next time.

Path of Exile 3.22, also known as the Trial of the Ancestors league, has introduced a slew of new build options, and one that's generating significant buzz is Transcendence. Historically, this keystone has been primarily used in conjunction with the Loreweave unique item to mitigate the maximum resistance penalty affecting characters. However, with the inclusion of tattoos in this league, paired with Chieftain's Valako notable or the Melding of the Flesh unique jewel, there's a new way to address these issues. This article dives deep into the Transcendence keystone, its strengths, weaknesses, and how to leverage tattoos for a powerful build. The Transcendence Keystone: Strengths and Weaknesses Transcendence offers a robust defensive advantage but comes with two substantial drawbacks that have limited its usage in the past. First, it causes armor to cease reducing physical damage while applying to elemental damage. Additionally, it imposes a substantial elemental max resistance penalty, making it challenging to overcome these hurdles. Traditional Approach: Loreweave Traditionally, Transcendence was paired with the Loreweave unique item, which has a hard cap on maximum resistance, effectively mitigating the keystone's drawbacks. However, this approach requires dedicating your body armor slot to Loreweave, leaving you vulnerable to physical damage unless you have exceptional gear. Enter Tattoos: A Game-Changer in 3.22 Path of Exile 3.22 introduces tattoos, which bring new opportunities to the table. The Tattoo of the Ngamahu Makanga, for example, grants +1 to maximum fire resistance. There are similar tattoos for cold and lightning resistance. Additionally, the unique jewel Warrior's Tale doubles the effect of all tattoos within a medium radius, significantly enhancing their potency. Chieftain's Advantage Chieftain, in particular, benefits from these tattoos due to its Valako notable. By investing in specific nodes on the skill tree, you can obtain up to +8 maximum fire resistance, not including other potential sources like Purity of Fire and halo effect scaling. This means you can easily equip Transcendence without relying on Loreweave. With Transcendence and Lightning Coil, you can effectively address both elemental and physical damage threats. Expanding Beyond Chieftain: Melding of the Flesh While Chieftain benefits greatly from these changes, other classes can also take advantage of tattoos. Adding the Melding of the Flesh jewel to another class introduces another -4 maximum elemental resistance challenge. However, this is easily manageable through additional tattooing. For instance, the Tattoo of the Arohongui Makanga offers +1 maximum cold resistance. Items like Brine Crown provide three maximum cold resistances, and you can further boost your resistances through your shield slot or items like Aegis Aurora. The passive tree offers numerous options, and placing your Warrior's Tale in a strategic location can further increase your maximum resistance. Closing Thoughts In summary, the Transcendence keystone in Path of Exile 3.22 has been a potent but limited choice due to its significant drawbacks. However, with the introduction of tattoos and unique jewels, these limitations are easier to overcome. This league offers a chance to create exceptionally tanky characters using Transcendence, and it will be fascinating to see how players leverage this setup to tackle challenging content and withstand formidable boss abilities.
