Path of Exile 3.23 Patch: Affliction Brings New Challenges and Excitement

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!

I've been experimenting with various farming strategies in Path Of Exile 3.24 new league, and today, I stumbled upon a new method that works very well. This strategy is truly remarkable, and everything you obtain will be in the form of Chaos Orbs. While the initial investment is quite high, once you make your first set of investments, the profits keep rolling in. How It Works This farm works by forcing strongboxes to spawn a specific monster from the Allflames, and this monster is from the Allflame Ember of Manifested Wealth. If you don’t know, this Allflame monster pack drops a lot of Chaos Orbs and even Exalted Orbs frequently, and this is what we’re going to be farming. We’ll be combining so many strongboxes and the chance to open strongboxes again, as the Allflame monsters do appear in strongboxes. They aren’t always guaranteed to be in them, but the chance of them being there is very high, and this is actually how we keep our profits up. Farming Investments Now, for the investments, the primary item to acquire is the Allflame Ember of Manifested Wealth. This component is undoubtedly pivotal, and I suggest focusing on the Yellow Maps for optimal results. Monster levels ranging from 68 to 78 tend to be more affordable. However, if you seek one with a level of 79 or higher, expect a significantly higher price, potentially around 100K. Therefore, prioritize those under Level 78, as they are more budget-friendly. When it comes to scarabs, prioritize acquiring the Ambush Scarab of Hidden Compartments, which provides a 50% chance for the strongboxes in the area to be openable again. Additionally, consider obtaining the Ambush Scarab, which adds 5 extra strongboxes. This investment is crucial for maximizing profits. If you already have 4 slots, consider investing in either the Domination Scarab for additional shrines or the Scarab of Monstrous Lineage, which boosts magic pack size. Both options yield similar results, and while it's uncertain whether they affect outcomes, I prefer prioritizing shrines. The last part of the investment is our Map Device, and we’ll be using the Ambush Map Device for another 5 additional strongboxes. Atlas Tree For our tree, getting more map nodes, trying to get the Monstrous Treasure and Shrine nodes. Then grab Tamper-Proof and Secret Compartment. Once we get that, we also want to grab these Shrine nodes, as well as the Quality for Atlas tree. Lastly, grabbed all the strongbox nodes. It doesn’t really matter which strongboxes we get, we just want any of them. Take additional Shrine nodes, cover to Shrine the last Invasive Adversaries, and then Remarkable Relics. So, I’m just trying to get as many shrines, boxes, and effects of stuff on our maps. Avoid Rituals Avoid engaging in rituals for farming, as killing monsters in rituals, especially the manifested wealth, doesn't yield any drops despite their appearance. Additionally, refrain from using more than one Allflame, particularly if it drops currency like Tainted Currency or Abyss Jewels. Using multiple Allflames can decrease the appearance rate of Manifested Wealth monsters in the strongboxes. Harvest Here's the breakdown: we can obtain 1,446 Chaos Orbs, 54 Exalted Orbs, and 44 Vaal Orbs. Now, let's delve into 25 maps using the Manifested Wealth strategy. You can acquire them at 175 chaos per set. Considering the price change, I gained 94 chaos per map, totaling 7,000 chaos across 25 maps, with a profit of 2,300. The investment will hover around 4,000 to 5,000. This strategy is remarkably simple. You don't need an overpowering character. You're essentially dispatching harmless creatures with minimal risk to your character.

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 is a highly popular action role-playing game that has been around for quite some time. For those who enjoy playing an Elementalist, there is a build that is worth considering. The Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist is a powerful build that can deal massive damage to enemies. This blog post will discuss this build in detail. 1. Overview:   - The Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist is a powerful build that combines the Explosive Arrow skill with Ballista to deal massive area damage.   - This build focuses on stacking explosive arrows on enemies and utilizing ballistas to amplify the damage.   - The Elementalist ascendancy class provides additional elemental damage and utility, making it an excellent choice for this build. 2. Skill Gems:   - Explosive Arrow: This is your primary skill. It fires an arrow that embeds itself in enemies and creates a fuse. After a short delay, the fuse ignites and explodes, dealing massive area damage. Link it with support gems like Greater Multiple Projectiles, Elemental Damage with Attacks, and Ignite Proliferation for enhanced damage and AoE coverage.   - Ballista Totem: Summon Ballista Totems to support your Explosive Arrow. They provide additional damage, attack speed, and can be linked with support gems like Multiple Totems, Elemental Focus, and Added Lightning Damage for increased effectiveness.   - Herald of Ash: Activate this aura skill to boost your fire damage and ignite chance. It also grants additional burning damage to enemies killed by your skills.   - Cast When Damage Taken (CWDT) setup: Use CWDT linked with Immortal Call, Increased Duration, and Molten Shell for defense. It triggers automatically when you take a certain amount of damage, providing temporary invulnerability and extra armor. 3. Passive Skill Tree:   - Prioritize passive nodes that increase bow damage, elemental damage, projectile damage, and area damage.   - Allocate life and energy shield nodes to enhance survivability.   - Take advantage of the Elementalist ascendancy class's notable passive skills, such as Mastermind of Discord, Beacon of Ruin, and Paragon of Calamity, which provide elemental damage boosts, ignite proliferation, and elemental ailment immunity. 4. Gear:   - Weapon: Look for a high DPS bow with increased elemental damage and added fire damage modifiers.   - Quiver: Choose a quiver that provides increased elemental damage, increased attack speed, and additional arrow modifiers.   - Armor: Aim for a combination of life and energy shield on your body armor, and prioritize resistances and elemental damage modifiers.   - Accessories: Focus on rings and amulets that grant increased elemental damage, life, resistances, and critical strike chance/multiplier.   - Jewels: Use jewels with increased damage, attack speed, life, and resistances to further enhance your build. 5. Playstyle Tips:   - Start by summoning Ballista Totems to provide additional damage and support your Explosive Arrow.   - Fire Explosive Arrows at groups of enemies, aiming to stack multiple arrows on each target.   - Once arrows are stacked, detonate them by hitting the same target repeatedly or using a single-target skill like Scourge Arrow.   - Move strategically to avoid enemy attacks while maintaining a safe distance to deal damage effectively.   - Utilize defensive flasks, such as Quicksilver Flasks and Basalt Flasks, to improve mobility and mitigate incoming damage.   - Keep an eye on your mana pool and utilize skills like Herald of Ash and Anger for extra damage, while ensuring you have enough mana to cast your skills. You can customize the build according to your playstyle and available resources. Experiment with different gems, gear, and passive tree choices to optimize your Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist in Path of Exile. Good luck and have fun!
