what gem to drop from six length Mana Forge? I don't know what you mean. Just follow the guide, please. Gem be dropped with no six link. Uh, for the crit version, I don't know, maybe life tap. I guess you're not supposed to do the crit version without six link. You got sniper's Mark and uh, can't remember the other one. You're presumably not doing this that version of the build without a six link. There, I don't understand everybody's obsession with switching over to crit link before they have everything ready. Why do people want to switch over so fast? Stop doing that. I don't know. I mean, at a certain point, obviously I don't mind answering a lot of questions, even same ones over and over and over again, but whenever you ask me questions that the basis of the question is that you're not following the guide, it's like, hey, Sno, what do I do if I'm not following your guide? It's like, you know, can make me feel a certain way about that. I'm inclined to just say

figure it out. You really want to deviate that much, just figure it out yourself. It's kind of like, Hey, new man, nice build, great build, but uh, I think I can do it better. Oh, by the way, what do I do if I want to do it better? Feels a little bit like that from my vantage point. Yeah, oh, it's not that bad. Pretty funny, actually, though. I mean, I'm being a little silly, but it does make it rub me the wrong way a little bit. This is the worst expedition, I swear to God. Oh, all right, you know what, I'm going to see, can he do it? Trade down red star. Oh, all right, the secret is to run an expedition you're not supposed to, 'cause I'm running 100% element. What is what, what, what? Oh, oh, I'm cheating. I'm sorry, guys. Guys, you weren't supposed to sit, turn, turn the stream off where [ __ ]. I'll tab turn, oh [ __ ] yeah, I'll be right back. I'll see you.

guys, tomorrow, okay, uh, I get, I'm not feeling very well, and, uh, just kind of frustrated with all these stupid questions, and I'm just tired of it all, right, I think I'm going to go to bed, and, uh, I'll probably be on in like a couple days, all right, guys, I look forward to the next YouTube video, though, it'll be out probably, uh, it'll be a pretty good one, I'm sure, okay, I actually have no idea how this dropped, let's figure out how that, I don't know how that dropped, it's, it's not supposed to drop in this map, 2.8% chance to drop an additional divination card, which rewards basic currency, oh, redeemed, I thought I was exploding for a second, we're good, we're good, I, it's, it's legit, guys, I didn't explo, I'm just taking advantage of its creative advantage of game mechanics, okay, I hit, I hit the eldri alter, it was available to me, okay, I thought it was, all right, I didn't

think it was exploiting it said I could do it. I'm okay right. I'm not going to get banned right. I getting banned for pressing that alter am I okay definitely biggest gamble moment of the league so far evidently bow attacks fire additional arrow on a spine bow. This item level is without six link is seven divines probably doesn't sell it doesn't sell for that but probably four or five divines sell tier two is minimum 10 divines if I hit this is a 50/50 minimum 10 divines minimum and that fire roll is huge look at fire roll range is almost perfect if I get if I hit physical damage tier 7even I'm wasted I'm just absolutely wasted I then I I can't even buy well actually I can almost buy an inspired learning I'm scared okay Do my heart heart's beating fast it's already six link imagine how stupid that'd be to hit the Fizz with the six link oh my God I'm dead I'm just dead this is profit three out this is a three

out of four profit this three out of four profit. All right guys wish me luck so absolute best-case scenario triple tier 2 element damage with an additional arrow and it chooses the six-link bow first recoded this this is early in the league this make a big deal oh no I missed oh what is that what is that I can't oh what is it oh my God sexual weak sauce so it didn't select the six-link so basically I got to refracture this oh no God imagine the endless circle of fracture recombinate fracture recombinate fracture recombinate over and over and over again I don't have the currency I don't have the currency to do it again here's the thing though you know the funny thing is that tier 2% Elmo damage is not bad I want to actually pop this I want to see how much worse that is what's up everyone it's new welcome back I figured I'd just post a little highlight in front of this video.

yesterday was a more entertaining day on stream than usual, so that's what you missed if you weren't around. But anyway, this is going to be a day three update in a few separate ways. Of course, I'm going to fill you in on where I'm at. I'm now transitioned almost completely into the crit double inspired learning variant of my build, so you get to see what that's like and a little bit of a mapping showcase. I'll show a little boss off, a mini boss anyway, for that matter, and the biggest reason why I'm making this video is because I need to post a PSA about the build. It's been brought to my attention from a few of you that there are some interactions that weren't working, a few of you that were ahead of me actually in the progress of the build, a couple of interactions not working, maybe there's bugs in the game that's making it not function, or unforeseen interactions as well as, you know, the weapon enchant that doesn't exist like we thought it would. So just

want to get some things out of the way. The really big things that uh we going to throw some curveballs at you if you're not aware. So if you're following my build especially, please watch this video. This is going to be the place where I post the biggest uh unforeseen issues of the build. Okay, we're going to start with that four major things uh that I wrote down here. One is defiled forces was initially my plan to have anointed on the amulet. You guys got to see in the build guide exactly why I posted it there. I was a little skeptical as to whether or not it'd be needed because you know I knew we'd attack really fast and hit a lot of different times. Well, two things. A we do actually attack fast enough. We don't really need the F forces I think. And B it's bug anyway so don't run defiled forces run static blows. This was the backup choice. This grants you a whole bunch of increased duration on the shock which is kind of functioning the same way as the

filed forces did and hey if you don't even want to run this you can run something else and you know really deviate from like Whispers of Doom or assassination for crit crit multi whatever you want but I'm going to stick with static blows for now because it 30% increased damage at all times basically and the primary function is to increase the duration shock significantly so we can keep those full 50 stacks of shock rolling we'll see in a little boss mini mini boss showcase if that's indeed happening which I think it is all right number two on the list is the weapon enchant is outdated in the guide so the weapon en chants were supposed to be far shot initially and then return projectiles on the following two and we had very good reason to believe that would be the case however the weapon en chance for bows are much worse unfortunately and it looks like the best one might actually be plus one additional curse but I'm also thinking about doing elusive at the very end game

and I think that might be the best if we're going to continue wearing these boots anyway. If you're going to go elevated Onslaught elusive Tailwind boots, then I guess not. But yeah, I'm probably going to go with elusive in my case, plus one additional curves might be the ultimate end game play, and up until that point, probably just going to be flat Elemental damage. You know, tier one, tier two, tier three, something like that. They explode on burning. Dam burning enemies is not going to work well. Yes, enemies will be burning through our minions, but as far as a mapping experience goes, we're going to be blowing up everything before minions hit them anyway. That sort of mechanic is just for the really big beefy targets, bosses primarily, unique enemies, stuff like that. So yeah, just basically stick with the simple enchants, and we'll figure it out toward the end. Rain of arrows of saturation is also not working in the main link, so I have switched out from that out. I've been testing tornado.

shot tornado shot of cloud burst, as well as storm rain. I actually like storm rain the most, I think, mainly because it's going to really help with the Unbound up time, and it's going to help with all those shocks, as well as hor Frost. I think more so than anything else, because it's just constantly hitting enemies there behind me stragglers are left behind. It is constantly proing the tornado, as well as snipers Mark. Anyway, it's serving a huge number of functions. Oh yeah, it also does bleed the enemy. We do need something that's not 100% converted, because we have bleed bleed now as a Mastery for extra crit chance, crit multi, the new bleed wheel on the passive tree. So rain of arrows of saturation is not working, because we already have rain of arrows here on lion eyes paw, and to my understanding, it should be working. These two should be separate, but for some reason, if you have rain of arrows in this link, it turns off the rain of Arrow cast online I pause.

and everything you have linked in there doesn't work. The hydrosphere doesn't work. Power charge on crit doesn't work. You make get power charges through inspired learning. Buffs which might be confusing but yeah all of that essentially doesn't even work. You can see it. Uh, you can see evidence of that if you put those skills on your bar. But anyway just wanted to give you that it's a bit of um Silver Lining that storm rain actually works really well. Maybe even better the rain of arrows would have. Rain of arrows saturation would have front loaded the crits a little better. But you know on the back end storm rains extremely strong. Okay so go with storm rain or tornado shot if you want. I think would be the two best choices. Number four on the list is something nobody's actually mentioned but I realized after the fact the attack speed roll is been removed from utility flasks. That was going to go here on the Quicksilver so just get movement speed instead. I didn't have movement speed so

that would have been the sixth suffix flask, I guess. But anyway, we can no longer get attack speed, and that would have been really nice to have that as a suffix on the utility flask. Can no longer do it, so that's gone now. So again, that's the defiled forces working properly and not being good enough. Anyway, weapon enchant were outdated. Rain of arrows saturations bugged in the cast on crit six link, don't use it. And then the attack speed will you can sub out for movement speed, I guess. I will have an updated version of the path of building for the official leak start build. Link down below. I've even changed it on the official guide video, so that's been updated as well. So you can see those updates in real time. And I will also link a separate pob that will have my the my non-crit and crit double inspired learning setups side by side in the, um, you know, the loadouts or whatever. And you can see like what my build looked like right before I switched to

crit and you can see what it looks like now with crit. And then you can even Jose that with what the guide says so you can kind of see where, you know, I maybe make a couple small deviations. Not technically done with the build cuz I'm missing a dying Sun that should be here, and I'm missing a belt that I'm not sure I'm going to make because it'd be pretty hard to beat this. Actually, I realized even with a jewel, uh, it's going to be hard to craft a sigi and vice that would beat this light belt. So I think I might actually just stick with this to keep it simple because, you know, this can be fractured and that not going to be fractured, right? But anyway, that is where we're at on some of the major PSA things. Okay, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments below. For the rest of this video, we'll now do a little bit of a showcase. And first thing I'm going to do is just going of quickly go over

the gear what I'm doing um actually going to do a quick Gamba because you should have been leveling some gems in the back end if you weren't already. I got mine up to 20 got them quality and this is basically a 1 to 8 to get a 2120 Elemental hit of the spectrum that would be really nice if I can hit that. I at least don't want to Brick him 2023 is not worth anything and uh dang I didn't get one. I'm a little disappointed there. I would have been nice to get out of the way oh well it's have to level a bunch more anyway and I it's okay I can sell these regardless so I'm just put these here for now sell them later actually one of them is bricked I don't even think I can sell it all right so we have a crit bow yeah I want cold flat cold here I didn't expect to get bow attack fire additional Arrow my God I I you saw in the highlights I had a three out of four

chance to fracture it well. I ended up recating out of it, and then try to fracture again and hit the third best fracture. This makes it easy to finish the suffixes though with a bonus on B tax fire additional arrow, and it turns out the percent Elemental damage with the attack roll is actually not that bad, but I do really want flat cold obviously do, but this is going to be a temp for a while. I think it is pretty good. The additional Arrow can't Overlook that. I don't like the crit range roll, but it's got. It's got most of what I wanted out of a crit bow pretty good bow all right, and then I've changed the double corrupted quiver. I didn't like Point Blank, so I'm going with this instead, and this allows me to get full usage out of far shot. So lost an arrow here, that's okay. Recently got movement speed lionized Paws, these are going to be expensive because of me, unfortunately, but uh yeah, it's going to help a lot.

because the transition into this is weird because we actually lost some movement speed. Lost some life as well and some of you have been outspoken about your transition to crit not going particularly well. A lot of you also admit that you did it early. Maybe earlier than you should have. I knew to do it very late. I knew because of what I saw when I made the build. And I already feel like people switch out of precise technique into crit too soon anyway. Because you need to dump a lot of points in the tree. My opinion you shouldn't do it before level 90. Okay I'm doing it level 93. And it was still a little tight for me to make the swap at 93 or 94 I guess now. But anyway like. Like I'm. I'm sacrificing life. No I have even less life than I should. Same gloves before. Same belt got a six-link K's iron now pretty nice. And that means I've lost the moral call cast from damage taken links. So you know little squishier I guess a little.

more glassy but got two inspired learnings and a whole bunch of crits so do about triple the damage. I did before I move a bit slower have a bit squishier same rings and all that. Oh yeah and I did buy a houseon this may be a little over rot might not be that necessary but it is nice especially with like Expeditions who really tanky and some of the mobs don't get Frozen very easily and it's nice when you pop the legion this does you do feel the impact and I can see myself successfully leveling a little bit more probably on account of the houseon being here new flasks were crafted okay and I did mention uh a deviation here in the suffix of the Quicksilver but everything else is basically the same this flask here will be a dying Sun very soon. I'm still kind of broke but I can basically purchase the dying Sun. I I don't actually think I'm going to change the belt to be honest all right so again this will be.

linked in the description below. Everything is going to look pretty much the same. One other thing that was a little unforeseen is the mana's tight too here 'cause we did have over 100 mana with the no crit version 'cause I had points over here. But now only have 69 mana, and I'm kind of feel like this should be my next point. Actually, I do kind of run a little thin on mana. Yeah, it's a tight build. The movement speed is not quite as much as I would like. The mana is not quite as high as I would like. And that is the price to pay to dump a whole bunch of points into crit while still sporting a double inspired learning setup. But this is a really nice setup nevertheless. It's just a little bit. It's got some growing pains, shall we say. You know, kind of got some growing pains. Got to get used to it, I guess. All right, so that'll conclude where I'm at on the build. Let's show you a boss. Let's see.

the shock situation. I think would be most notable and the Damage here. I just said my damage is like triple now, right? So maybe not triple against the boss, but I don't know, we'll see. No more ballista setup. All right, there he goes under. Yeah, I don't have any regen, so this boss I actually chose a bad boss to test this on. Think I to get hit by that. Okay, not the greatest place to Showcase this considering I take a whole bunch of damage over time. That's weird. Am I not hitting him? Yeah, like just single Target. You see, I'm actually having some Mana issues a little bit, but I mean the far shot. I me my goodness, that's doing a lot of damage. That is doing a lot of damage. So I believe it was so far off screen. I believe tornado and hydrosphere respond, and now it says in the PO there's three integers. That's where the triple damage coming from. So every arrow that I fire has a potential to hit a single Target six times um because you got there and back.

you got there and back plus the AOE from the tornado hits. You got there and back plus for the AOE. Well, I guess it's not going to hit there and so up to five times because there's a one-second internal cooldown on the hits taken for the hydrosphere. So every arrow has a potential hit one time. It won't be. It'll be like two or three usually just. So you were. Let's do one map here, and I am doing basically the same strat I did before. Indeed, I'm still running this strat well after the honeymoon phase of Legion, but it still proves to be pretty strong with Expedition, Legion, and Beyond, and I still get Nico a lot in my next point will go here. Nico's not on every map, but still works. All right. I'm starting to be a little more disciplined with the fight to try to keep that buff up the whole time. It's kind of an interesting dynamic. It only lasts one minute. Yeah, okay. Pop the cooldown, and I never

see the boss till he died uh that's a far shot for you see I'm wearing that point blank quer that that wouldn't go quite as well a you can see the tornado spawning a lot. I want you to pay attention to the tornado proc right here. You can see the rain of arrows going off, you can see the storm rain going off, you can see the blink Arrow going off, so you can see everything going and you can get a sense of the proc rates here. So I mean you can try some different setups if you want. I really like um keeping tabs on those procs to see where it's at when I when I test other things. I'm still playing the build similarly with the popping the Val Grace and Unbound at the same same time, and I can I mean now that I've switched to this version I can unlock full Legions within the timer pretty reliably even without lightning arrows a superior clear so to speak. I mean you can see it should be obvious to you if

you you can just go watch yesterday's video, and you're going to see a pretty significant difference in the damage overall. Somehow missing one mob here. You can also see I'm moving pretty fast, but it's in part thanks to Nico R me. We're going to see, you're going to get to see how slow I move at the end. It's definitely a bit slower. Uh, when everything's down, losing Dar's Defiance lost me some movement speed for sure. Okay, should be pretty good for the Expedition. You can even see right there, I was running out of Mana when I was trying to fire some arrows. If there's a bunch of stuff on the screen, I don't really feel the cost of shorting myself on Mana. Okay, I'm about to lose the third N buff. I'm going to slow down a lot here, right. This, this is me without packed with energy, but still with, uh, most of my movement speed up. I'm actually skip that pretty safe, uh, not too likely to die, but it has been hard to level.

Beyond 94. I will admit, however, I did just get the house. Siana a little bit ago, so I'm noticing a slight shift in how safe I feel. Now, this is how fast I move across the map, and this is with 10% movement speed chant on the booth. It's basically the slowest iteration of the build, and it might be something you guys don't like. I mean, I know you guys really used to running fast. This is part of the downside of the warden. It's a little bit slower 'cause we're getting more just raw damage. Oh, ship docked right before making this video. I did get lucky and get an immortal out of a stack deck. I've opened a lot of Stack decks, so finally got a good stack deck Rock, which helped me feel a little bit better about yesterday's really bad RNG. So I'm kind of recording this in day four. But anyway, that's going to be it. That's it for the video, guys. Yeah, pretty by the Numbers. I'm quite impressed with.

the damage. I know that that was doing. That's doing way more damage than I was doing. Uh, on this kind of budget, which this is somewhere around the 30 Divine budget for the build, I'd say. Uh, however, I blew about 25 divines in this weapon, which is overcompensating for with the bad RNG. But yeah, I mean just generally speaking is somewhere around uh 30 divines here, which is kind of what you pay on day three to set up this build. You're paying the most for everything for the most part, but that's it guys. Uh, let me know your thoughts. I'm curious to hear what you think the best enchant on the weapon would be. Okay, is it plus one curse? Is it elusive? Is it something else? Uh, let me know if you were unfortunately using these links set up with the rain of arrows of saturation here where it wasn't proing anything. There was at least 10 of you that I told privately about that issue as it was brought to my attention. I'm sorry there were some.

issues. I couldn't foresee those happening, but this is kind of the PSA video as a day embedding it in the day three update for the build. I mean, it certainly is a build update video. I think this will be the last one of these. I come out with. I don't see myself coming out with like a day four video. I want to get into some legit farming vids, and I think we're going to start by uh streaming some stuff tomorrow. So yeah, come on by, see how it goes, hope we make some decent currency, but that's it for me for now. Thank you for watching and hope you're having a great League start, unlike me. Don't take my RG, it's not good anymore. Bye for now.

[PoE 3.25] DAY THREE Build Progress Update

SnooBAE85

Confusion and Frustration in the Gaming Stream

The streamer expresses frustration with viewers not following the guide and asking repetitive questions.

He abruptly ends the stream, feeling unwell and tired of the situation.

The streamer becomes anxious about potentially getting banned for exploiting game mechanics during a tense in-game moment.

Confusion and Frustration with a Gaming Build Update

The speaker is experiencing frustration with the gaming build's functionality and is unable to continue due to a lack of currency.

The video serves as an update on the transition to a new build variant and highlights some in-game challenges.

The speaker also addresses unforeseen issues and provides important information for followers of the build.

Optimizing Bow Enchantments for Increased Damage

Static Blows is crucial for maintaining 30% increased damage at all times by significantly extending shock duration.

The best weapon enchantment for bows may now be plus one additional curse or elusive, with flat Elemental damage as a good early game option.

Simple enchants are recommended, as the mechanics for exploding burning enemies may not be effective for mapping.

Storm Rain is preferred over other skills for its ability to improve uptime and shock application, as well as causing enemy bleeding.

The issue with Rain of Arrows and Saturation not working has led to testing and switching to other skills like Tornado Shot and Cloud Burst, with Storm Rain being the favorite due to its various functions.

The "Rain of Arrows" skill is not functioning well with the cast on critical strike setup, so it's advised not to use it.

The utility flask no longer provides attack speed as a suffix, so movement speed is the alternative.

The Path of Building will be updated for the official league start, including non-crit and crit double inspired learning setups side by side.

Gem Leveling and Equipment Update in Path of Exile

Gem leveling is progressing, aiming for a high-level Elemental hit.

Despite some disappointment, there are plans to sell the unused gems.

A new crit bow with desirable affixes has been crafted, along with a change to a double corrupted quiver for better usage of far shot, and the acquisition of movement speed boots.

The transition to a crit build is causing a loss of life and a squishier character, leading to a cautious approach to the skill tree and equipment changes.

The character has become more glassy but deals significantly more damage with the new setup, including a double inspired learning setup.

The player is considering purchasing a Dying Sun flask and facing some mana issues with the updated build.

The boss showcase demonstrates a substantial increase in damage, especially with far shot, despite experiencing some mana issues.

The player discusses using a consistent strategy throughout different phases of the game.

They focus on maintaining a specific buff and movement speed, while also paying attention to proc rates and damage output.

The player experiences some challenges with movement speed and resource management, but overall, the strategy proves to be effective for the game's expeditions.

The player is experiencing a slower movement speed with the new Warden build, which may not be well-received by the audience.

Despite previous bad luck, they have obtained a valuable item, improving their outlook on the build.

The video serves as a day three update, with the player planning to focus on farming in the upcoming days and streaming their progress.
