Hey all, and welcome back to Fuzzy D Gaming and episode two of the Zero to Hero for the Raki Atas Dance Smite Slayer. Last episode, I farmed the currency to get a framework of a build going, and this was easily enough to take down the Pinnacle bosses, get my non-unique Atlas completion finished, along with opening up the fifth map device slot by completing the first 10 Way clears. It's really nice. Single Target is still pretty lacking, but it's good enough for the content that I want to run at the moment. I also picked up a few of the favorite slots along the way, but we've got many more to unlock. Now, the goal of this episode is to farm enough currency to transition to crit and hopefully end up with a character that's got around 15 to 20 million Max DPS when all of the Buffs, Floss, and Tinctures are up. Now, there were still quite a few small upgrades I wanted to make to the build to make it more comfortable farming currency. I ended up buying a

lethal Pride Jewel for one Divine, but I stupidly on PO searched for the wrong Jewel socket. So, it does the job, but I could have got a much better one, making more use of the right Jewel socket on the tree. So, I will need to replace it at some point. I did get a new ring, and then I essentially just rerolled the helmet, gloves, and body armor that I already had to get better stats on them. I ended up purchasing an enlightened level three so that I can easily run 3 50% auras and a Precision. Now, as you saw from the Pinnacle boss footage, I got super lucky and got forbidden jewels from both the bosses. These sell as a pair unidentified for $1 to 12 divines. That alone is enough to purchase all the upgrades that I want to take the build to crit, but this certainly isn't going to help people following along. So, I've carried on my Deli Farm, but I've been able to make it.

a bit tougher since my character is now better, and I have more currency to not worry about a bad run of drops when using the paranoia scarabs. So, what we'll do first is go through the PO for what I want to aim for this episode and just discuss a couple of points. Once that's out of the way, I'll go over the loop farm that I did in terms of the strategy, if you can even call it a strategy. We'll go through it in a bit more detail, and I'll go through what sort of currency I was getting, but it is earning decent currency considering I've only got two void stones and a very small supply of maps. So, firstly, let's go into the PO for what I want to achieve for the character and just go step by step for the item so people can understand what I'm looking to upgrade and why. Actually, let's go through the atlas strategy I'm using first. We're going and do a quick map example, then we'll go through the PO, and we'll go and buy the gear that I need to.

transition to crit, so it is a very simple Atlas tree. I've only got five of my favorite slots unlocked. I can't do my usual City square with toxic Su because City square is only T15, so probably wouldn't drop many of them. Um, so again, Beach and Ashen W both work fine. What we're doing is we're using three scarabs of paranoia and one Scarab of mania, and then just an out map that we're taking all of the deli chance 'cause that allows me to run an extra Scarrow. Other than that, it's literally just Tak in quantity, Rarity, uh, scarabs and maps, and that's it. It's very, very simple. I'll put the tree in the video description, but if you've got access to, you know, your four void stones and things like that, this is probably not that optimal because we're really just getting most of the currency from the deli rewards, and then we take in singular eternity just to slow the fog down to make it a little bit easier.

because our build isn't the best, so we'll go and we'll run through a beach map. So it's three paranoia scarabs, one Mania, and then just scar or e or worlds, whatever invitations worth more currency. And then the idea is to kind of get to six layers of rewards if you can kill the boss. That'll take to seven, and then you just leave. It's pretty simple. We've really only got Alters in just because you have to pick scar or EA for the invitation. If you do get something good, then great, but we're kind of not really banking on it. And because we're not taking any of the nodes other than kind of just putting it on the map device so we can take this, 'cause given a boss armor is no problem at all because we're pretty much pure Ellie. I haven't died for a while. Doesn't mean you won't, but I'm not too worried about taking deaths at this stage. It's more about farming.

currency. I've not really been doing much with Kings Mar, so we've got a few 100,000 gold as well. So ignite, we aren't actually ignite immune, but it doesn't normally do too much damage, and you can Le through it, and then it's some more chaos orbs. So what I'll probably do at this stage is look to get to six and then go and kill the boss. So we're not a million miles away, so we get at six, so going to kill the boss 'cause don't want the delirium to run out. Forgot to activate my tin, so yeah, the damage is not amazing, but it's kind of good enough. There is one change that I've made in preparation for the build being better. That is that I've dropped the fortify nodes. The reason being is, as you've seen when mapping, we keep fortify anyway. That's because stunning hits fortify, and you're going to get stuns on most normal, magic, and some rare enemies. What I've got for

bosses, which I forgot to hit, is Vigilant strike, which basically gives me um 45 for 8 seconds if I need it. Um, so if I get to the boss like this, for example, and I didn't have a fortify, I forgot to do it, you can just hit Vigilant strike. That gives you for eight seconds, that then gives you Onslaught from the belt, and just makes the build feel better. So, we'll go along and we'll just demonstrate the uh fortify. It's probably not going to happen on a rare monster, to be fair. As you see now, we got 20 fortify for 6 seconds because we fortify melee stunt. Then, if I wanted to hit Vigilant strike, I can, and then that gives me a longer fortify. Got a namess, see it, he will give me absolutely nothing. So, what I normally do is just kill the boss and the delirium, collect the loot, and then go back in. And so, you can see from this one here, we got one

delirium orb two three four five delirium orbs seven stack decks and then some random bits of currency. I haven't really collected any cluster jewels unless there've been like big value ones, and then we'll just quickly go and sell the loot. I'd obviously normally wait until I've got more bulk, but just to show you that Deli orbs still sell really well. So the fine ones normally sell for L 12 or 13. So yeah, we could definitely sell these for 13. So I'll put these up for 26 for two. These ones may not sell because they're not very common, so we'll just set it for 10 here and we'll see what happens. We've got a map one which go for a little bit more. I don't think they're that much, but let's just double check. So if we just said we had five on track, they are. Oh apparently they are about 15 C. So let's see what we can do with this. We'll set it for I'm not greedy, we'll

just set it for 18 and see if it sells um then we've got a Jewelers one which we should be able to sell for um nine might not sell it straight away but they'll sell and that's kind of what I've been doing and as you can see in terms of the currency we've got a stack of chaos so you do need to spend money on the scars but you'll easily make more than that every map because you're going to drop delirium orbs and basically one delirium orb P for two scarabs and then the more layers of rewards you get the more likely you are to get things like stack decks which also sell really well so if we go and have a look at these and we just sell the 11 or 18 now so that's we've got we're going to instantly get 1.63 for them so it' be something like 28 I guess we'll just sell it for that it's fine and then we sold those and got three back because it didn't quite fit.

the right equation, and yeah, that's kind of what I've been doing. I've just been doing that the whole time. Is it particularly exciting? No, but it earns really, really steady currency. And if you are needing to farm about 10 to 20 divines on two void stones at this stage of the League, this is a great way of doing it because your Deli orbs will sell really, really easily on the exchange. You're going to get things like currency, you're going to get cluster Jewels, going to get things like fossils that actually sell quite well on the exchange as well. So overall, just really enjoyed this as just a simple layback currency farm for a character, really. That's going to be made for mapping and not necessarily for bossing. So with that out the way, we'll jump into the PRB, we'll make the upgrades, and then we will transition to crit. So this is the rough path of building for the gear that I want to get and how I want to set the character up.

We are going to stay for now with the Vigilant strike for fortifier and then just stun to get it when we're mapping. Eventually, you could get Fortify implicit on the sword, but at the moment they are about 20 divines for a decently rolled one. You essentially can get a corrupted implicit where socketed gems are supported by level 10 fortify. So, you then put your main Link in here that sorts fortification out on hit, but for now, I'm happy just Vigilant strike every now and then on a boss, and other than that, stun looks like it's going to get me the fortify that I need. So, what changes are we making? So, the tree is going to change quite a bit. We are going to need to fit in a reservation cluster Jewel because we're going to go crit. We want to run a really, really high level Precision. We can't really squeeze that in unless we get reservation on all the gear, so the easy option is just to get something like Sublime form to give

Grace extra reservation efficiency in terms of the gear. We're going to add a crit tinter in which is going to be crit chance for melee weapons, something like attack speed or crit multi as a suffix, along with increased cooldown recovery. We're going to drop the Jade flask. We're going to have a granite flask with evasion, quicksilver with armor, and then just a normal life flask. And then we're going to have a diamond flask with crit. Because we don't have to curse because of our sword that reverses resistances, we can run Assassin's Mark. So that'll give more crit and more crit multi on unique enemies. We are going to run Rices Impatient. So that means that we count as having our maximum frenzy and endurance charges. We're also going to run Replica Badge of the Brotherhood, which essentially sets your max endurance charges to your max frenzy charges. None of the downsides will matter because we don't need charges because Rices just basically counts as your max. The reason

we're doing that is because I want to take this node here, which gives the base crit of our weapon to 8%. Because at the moment, it is 5%. There's nothing we can do to get that any higher. It's unique. We want to use it because we want to build around it. Without setting this to 8%, we're going to have real struggles to get our crit anywhere near sort of 70%. But because of the combination of Rach and the amulet, it means we no longer need masterful form. The amulet basically replaces masterful form. We're going to put some sort of annoint like high voltage, which just basically gives you 100% crit chance on shocked enemies. We're going to run a taming ring because we're going to be shocking and chilling at least. So that's going to give us two ailment types. If we can just find some sort of fire damage on the amethyst ring, that thing gives a three type. So we get a big boost from The Taming. Going to use

some turbulent Catalyst on it as well to get all the Ellie stuff up. This is going to be a massive damage increase. It may be that later on I just decide that I don't need the extra damage and go back to a rare ring because we are going to be slightly short on life with this variant because of all the uniques that we're using. We're going to reroll the amethyst ring so we get some big life on it. So again, we'll just do the same roll chaos in Harvest. This might take a bit; it might take two to three divines. Basically, just want to get big resistances. We are going to need non-ch channeling on it as well, especially if we do end up going for the sword with the implicit. We are going to really, really struggle for Mana cost because that level 10 fortify will add to the Mana cost of the SK skill. So we've got the options if we want. At the moment, I've taken it. You got like the Mastery here to have skills cost life instead of

Mana, we could take this extra node here to get the Mana cost down so we can get it manageable. This is kind of at the moment on a normal six-link that only goes up to about 13 or 14 with the fortify on the item. We are going to fit in a large cluster with feed the fury and Marshall price just for some big damage. Like I mentioned, some small cluster to get reservation efficiency. We are going to need it. And then we're also going to replace our lethal Pride with one that actually fits in the right slot, hopefully with something like intimidate and double damage. And then we're going to replace all of our rare Jewels with some double crit multi Jewels. We may not be able to get them with life as well. I don't know how much it's going to be, but something like crit chance with two-handed melee weapons and Critical Strike with ell skills. Or we could use Critical Strike with lightning skills and Elemental skills. Just any combination of two crit multi and life is really what I'd be

Looking for, and then we can slot the other one in here. And then we're also going to run a watch's eye with something like increased attack damage while affected by Precision. It's probably the biggest bang for the buck. It's not massively expensive. I would think probably two divines for a half-decent one. And I think that's kind of it. I don't think we need much else. So we've got here replica badge, rikes, lethal Pride, watch's eye, taming ring, reroll the chaos ring, which I'll get myself up to two divines for. That's kind of what we're looking to do. What we will need, because we are going to massively struggle for resistances with all of these uniques, is I'm going to drop wrath. It doesn't do that much at this stage because we're not boosting Aura effect up. It's probably like 15-18% more damage. So we're going to drop it for purity of elements. This means my resistances will obviously be higher.

because you get resistances with the gem, and also it means I'm immune to ailments, so I don't have to worry anymore about ignites, chill, things like that. It just makes the build feel smoother. And then in terms of gem links, we are going to have to fit in increased crit damage, so we'll need to drop ADM. Awakened added cold is probably going to be the one I drop. I like lightning because at level five it gives us plus one to Val Smite. If we can then double corrupt a v Smite to get 2120, it's again decent damage, but for now just a 20 unquality is fine. And that's what I want to do, so we will finish the PO, we'll go actually buy the gear, we'll put it all on, and then we'll take it for a test run. So I've just had to rejig my gems. I actually had two molten shells in that I didn't realize, so our defenses aren't going to be

amazing. This is with Molton shell up. If we take Molton shell off, you see Max fiz hit 14 and a half with FL up. Not exactly amazing. We take our floss off, and we're looking at, you know, 12.6. It's fine for mapping, but the next stage after this, probably in video 3, we'll be getting more life and trying to get some more tank into the build through things like reduce Fizz damage through the body armor and maybe on a watcher eye as well. There's lots of things we can do um to get some more defenses into the build. Maybe if our DPS is good enough, we can drop the taming and get a big life ring, but they'll be kind of for the next episode. Oh, was okay. So, I've bought all the gear. I spent literally all my currency, but a lot of it was wasted doing stupid things. The first thing that I shouldn't have done was try to recolor this body armor to three blue, three red, uh, because fortify.

stun doesn't even work, so I've had to slot a fortify gem in here in the meantime. Anyway, so what I did was I rerolled this until I hit two blue, four red. Then I actually spent loads of money in Harvest, turning one socket into white, 'cause I got like a 4 and 6 chance of it turning a red one. It didn't. It turned to blue. Turned out wasn't need did anyway, 'cause I've had to slot for5 support in here to get Fortify, 'cause I don't really have another means of doing it. Now I'm not pathing on the tree, so it looks like we are going to have to go 45 on the sword at some point, but that'll be either in the next video or the one after. Uh, roll in this ring cost a fortune. It probably cost me four divines, so maybe I should have looked on trade to see if there was something that would fit the bill, 'cause this isn't amazing, but I got fed up spending currency on the ring. Uh, we did

not end up going for the reservation cluster Jewel. Instead, I just anointed sovereignty on my amulet that gives me enough reservation. It means I can drop that small cluster Jewel, and then I've just put one of my original jewels in, which is strength and intelligence, which I needed because I was still a tiny bit down on both attack speed, some crit chance, and then Mana reservation efficiency. This wasn't a dual lobs particularly looking for when I bought it. It was only like 15 SE. Turns out fits to build really nicely. We've had to drop the Mastery for 15% suppression if you've got evasion on everything because rikes do not have evasion. So, I've had to take the lucky chance to make up for it. I'll rolled some implicit, so I'll push my Mana reservation up, push my reduced Mana cost of attacks up, and then push my suppression up again. Shouldn't have really done on the gloves 'cause they're a bad base, but it is what it is. They'll do for now. So, there's not

really any changes hat slot fortify gem in. We've gone for sovereignty on the amulet. Full PB will be in the video description anyway. But overall, we've got some more points to go on the tree, so we can go here for some extra Aura effects. But I think what we'll probably do is drop this Mastery here, maybe drop a life node, get another couple of levels, and then we'll put a crit medium cluster in here because I'm capped on. I've got all my things up like assassin's Mark, flask, and tinctures. But without that, it hovers between like 65 to 80%. A medium crit cluster can boost that up. It also gives us another 5% double damage, so that's probably an aim for the next episode. And there's not really any other changes. Life could definitely be due with being higher, but it's very hard to get a ton of life. And when you're running some boots that don't have life, we've got this amulet that doesn't have life.

and then the taming doesn't have life either, so it's very difficult to get like a big live pull. We also don't have like a shield because we're two-hander, so hopefully we'll push up to 4,000 at some point, but it's very unlikely to get much higher than that. Um, but yeah, that's the build finished with the upgrades. No idea what it cost because I wasted so much currency. I would think maybe 20 divid is a cost to resect the tree, craft my jewels, craft my ring, buy the Els that I needed. Um, so hope we're now good to go. Um, so what we'll do is we'll just go and do a map. So I do need to do a conqueror, so we'll go and do this one first. Uh, jungle Valley, it's quite a nice map. I'm just running it on a, uh, just a map farming tree, and I do need this for my favorite slot, so we'll go and complete this. Didn't even break a so the because you don't have movement.

speed on rikes is kind of noticeable, but then you can leap slam everywhere anyway, so it's not too bad. Obviously, this map's probably not ideal for it, but... and then we do lose a fair amount of damage, probably like one to two million DPS, because we're deciding to run Fortify, because it was too late to do anything else. We've got no currency left to go through any other options. Like, single target is better, but it does feel slower. And then hopefully on bosses with tinctures and FL up and assassins mark, single T should hopefully be decent, but we're about to find out. Uh, yeah, definitely feels a million times more damage. Well, not a million times, that's probably slightly over the top, but finally, yeah, that's pretty good. I'm happy with that. Um, so we can definitely zoom on now and do like Uber and Maven when I actually get the currency to get the fragments. Then what we'll probably do next episode is do an early for void.

Stone farming strategy maybe avoid delirium just because I've done it all the time just because it pays really really well. And then hopefully we'll be able to push into t7s on this setup. We just did a few tweaks here and there to make it a little bit more defensive, but overall yeah, that's how the build is feeling at the moment. Feels very nice. That map also had in feeble temp chains and then yeah ton of extra damage and attack speed. So overall I'm really happy with that damage. Just unlocked another favorite slot which is nice. So yeah, next episode is just going to be carrying on what I will do at the beginning of the next video again as I have done this one is identify the upgrades that I want to make and I want to farm in the next video. So before we sign off for the video, I'll just very quick go through the gear just to explain how the build comes together rather than you having to kind of work it out from the path of building then.

I'll just show some highlights at the end of some more maps that I've done tenway a influence Elder map and then Maven just to show kind of what the build can do at this stage. But in terms of gear, it's racky out as dance because this inverts resistances and gives a ton of ell damage. Rices is impatience combined with Badger to Brotherhood means that always at our maximum endurance, Frenzy, and power charges, so none of the downsides of the ambulet matter. And that's what allowed us to drop masterful form. So then we can take overwhelmed because we need the crit. You're going to need a decent crit tinure and a diamond flask. They don't have to be up all of the time because mapping you're going to obliterate stuff anyway. You just use them on bosses, and you should be able to burst them down in seconds. If you can fit one in, taming ring is really good if you can also get fire, cold, and lightning damage in the

build. You'll get more damage. You'll get cold and lightning from The Sword. I haven't been able to get fire damage in because the only way I can really get it is on the ring, and this ring would have been super, super expensive to try and get fire damage along with life non-chaning skills and chaos resistance. But the rest of the gear is just satisfying your attributes and resistances. Remember to swap wrath for purity of elements or you're really, really going to struggle for resistances. I'm still with AA. I want to get my resistances a bit higher, then I can go to the extra skill point. And then for your implicits, you do need some Mana reservation because the lower or the more available Mana you've got, the better your tinctures are going to work. Utilize the Mana nodes on the tree here to get your cost down even more. And then other than that, yeah, that's kind of it. The build just works really, really nicely. All your FL are automated. You have to use your tinctures at bosses, but

other than that, it should be pretty smooth. The defenses are good enough. We want to get some more C resistance and probably some more Fizz damage reduction, but at the moment, just with the bonuses we get from endurance charges and our armor and evasion and perseverance actually works quite well as a defensive setup. And I've not died too many times on this character. I've certainly not died in the last sort of three or four levels. So we'll just double-check. Yeah, so dodged six times through the whole playthrough, so it's been pretty safe. But I haven't really done anything that taxing at the moment. Next video is probably going to be some sort of destructive play, probably still with delirium, even though I said I would go away from it. The orbs are just so good, and they drop all the time. But it's going to be a disruptive play because things like Elder fragments and the Conqueror fragments now go for pretty good prices. So once we start dropping some of those Maps, we'll do some

rotation so we can drop some Maven rits, maybe some awaken gems, and that again should be good for some profit. So I'll leave you with just some highlights, and then I'll catch you in the next video. Thanks for watching, take care, and see you in the next one.

Zero to Hero Rakiata's Dance Smite Slayer - Part 2 Path of Exile 3.25 [POE]

Fuzzy Duckzy

Farming for Crit Transition in Smite Slayer

In this episode, the goal is to farm enough currency to transition to crit and achieve 15 to 20 million Max DPS.

Small upgrades were made to the build, including a lethal Pride Jewel and rerolling gear for better stats.

The character's improved performance and increased currency have made Deli Farming more manageable, with a simple Atlas tree strategy and the use of paranoia and mania scarabs for extra rewards.

The strategy involves running a beach map with three paranoia scarabs, one Mania, and focusing on scar or e or worlds for currency.

The goal is to reach six layers of rewards and kill the boss for additional rewards.

The build is designed to be pure elemental, with a focus on farming currency and using Vigilant Strike for fortify and Onslaught.

Delirium orbs and other loot are collected and sold for profit.

The player is focusing on selling chaos and jewelers' items for steady currency, using delirium orbs to purchase scarabs and maximize rewards.

This method is effective for farming divines and other valuable items like cluster jewels and fossils.

The player is also planning gear and skill tree changes to transition to a crit-based setup, using unique items to maximize frenzy and endurance charges.

The goal is to increase the weapon's base crit from 5% to 8% using a unique node, which is crucial for reaching a 70% crit chance.

The amulet will replace the need for masterful form, and a taming ring will provide two ailment types for additional damage.

The plan includes rerolling the amethyst ring for life and resistances, using a large cluster for damage, and replacing rare jewels with double crit multi jewels for optimal damage and life combination.

Optimizing the Build with Gem Links and Gear

The gem setup provides resistances and immunity to ailments, making the build smoother.

Adjustments are being made to gem links, dropping Awakened Added Cold for increased crit damage.

Gear has been purchased, but the currency was wasted on unnecessary recoloring and rerolling, leading to a need for a fortify gem and future adjustments on the skill tree.

The player adjusted their build by anointing sovereignty on the amulet, allowing them to drop a small cluster jewel and add a strength and intelligence jewel instead.

They made various upgrades to their gear, focusing on mana reservation, reduced mana cost of attacks, and increasing suppression.

The player plans to drop a mastery node for extra aura effects and aims to add a medium crit cluster for double damage and crit chance, while also working towards increasing their life pool.

The speed on Rikes is noticeable, but leap slamming makes it manageable.

Running Fortify has caused a loss of 1-2 million DPS, but single target damage feels better and more impactful.

The build is now more defensive, with plans to farm for void stones and push into t7s in the next episode, while the gear setup focuses on maximizing damage and charges.

The character build focuses on maximizing damage and resistances, with fire damage being a challenge to obtain.

Swapping wrath for purity of elements is crucial for better resistances.

The build features automated flasks, good defensive setup, and a plan for disruptive play to profit from valuable map drops.
