[PoE2] Crit Attribute Stacker Flurry Flicker Invoker - BUILD UPDATE

SnooBAE85 2025-01-27 | It's been a few days since coming out with a build-related video. I very much like the compliment that Flicker Strike can bring to high-speed Tempest Flurry attribute stacking gameplay, and many of you agree (most of whom aren't even playing Monk). I figured I'd share that there has been yet another breakthrough in this department. Three significant recent changes have been made to bring the best of what Tempest Flurry and Flicker Strike have to offer in one build. Let us know what you think? Enjoy the video!

[PoE2] I Gambled 100 Million Gold for Astramentis so You Dont Have to

SnooBAE85 2025-01-23 | So, I noticed I was accumulating a lot of gold. I got the bright idea to gamble it all, since I didn't really have anything to lose, save for my sanity. Might as well make a video out of it! I wonder what my chances really were . . .

[PoE2] THIS Skill is Causing More Harm than Good for Flicker Strike Gameplay

SnooBAE85 2025-01-20 | Recently I've been experimenting with dropping most of the non-crit non-attribute points on the passive tree for my latest crit-attribute stacking variant of a Flicker Strike Invoker build. This has dramatically improved my damage and speed with Tempest Flurry, mimicking the playstyle of a high-end Gemling Legionnaire variant. Knowing what I know about that more popular variant, it's called into question my prolonged usage of Charged Staff and Flicker Strike, and the functional value they bring into the build.

In this sort of deep dive video, I explain my thoughts on these two skills, weighing the pros and cons of each, as well as their interactions together (with a gameplay showcase). For now I'm very much leaning against Charged Staff while keeping Flicker Strike. But I'm definitely curious about your guys' setups, and why you've chosen to use either one, neither one, or both. I hope you enjoyed this meta discussion. Let us know in the comments where your mind is at. Thanks for watching!

[PoE2] Heres My Solution to the Recent Power Charge Tech Removal

SnooBAE85 2025-01-17 | A new patch dropped today with one major interaction core to the Flicker Strike Invoker build being severed. Lingering Illusion and Minion Pact no longer work off each other to grant us deterministic power charges outside of combat. In this video I go over a few of the more noteworthy patch notes, then propose two separate solutions to the resulting nerf to power charge acquisition. The Maxroll guide has already been updated with the solution that's more likely to appeal to most Flicker Strike players.

[PoE2] Im Currently Evading a Multi-week Account Lock by Ignoring GGG Support

SnooBAE85 2025-01-16 | On the day after Christmas, my account got hacked. I discovered I wasn't the only one, so I made a video to force the conversation around the question of a potential security breach at GGG. It was a highly speculative video, as not much was really known at the time, except for the seemingly systemic nature in how users were getting hacked. You can watch that video here if you like ► youtu.be/xDmLQL7JhMc

Now it has come to light that GGG had indeed had one of their admin accounts breached through Steam, which may explain much of what happened here. However, I'm skeptical that everything they've said so far encompasses the full extent of what happened. So, the story continues. This video is an update on what information GGG has shared about the ongoing situation through the lens of many players (including myself) who have been stricken not only by having been hacked, but further penalized with locked accounts for weeks on end. The most important takeaway from this video is recognizing the atrociously bad customer service these players have been receiving.

[PoE2] Optimizing Towers & Precursor Tablets to Maximize Breach Currency Farming

SnooBAE85 2025-01-14 | Precursors are a very powerful tool for magic finding Breach maps, which I've been running for a few weeks now. While initially taking them only half-seriously, I've come to find the rolls here are even more important than the rolls on the Waystones, themselves. Quantity is king, as they say. And the Precursors in towers are where the biggest quantity multipliers are found.

Are there any other angles on Precursors for Breach farming that you think I missed? Let us know what they are in the comments below. Enjoy!

[PoE2] CI CoC Attribute Stacking Flicker Strike Invoker - BUILD SHOWCASE

SnooBAE85 2025-01-12 | The Flicker Strike dream continues! After many evolutions of the build, I've come to find this high-budget crit-based attribute-stacking version to be the best all arounder. This build absolutely dominates content, so much so that a massive Herald nerf might actually be a net benefit to it. Three separate ways to approach combat, one is Tempest Flurry + Charged Staff. Another is Walking + Flicker Strike. And the third is Tempest Flurry + Tempest Bell spam. All three of these have their optimal scenarios for use, and together they create a total package of damage dealing that most builds would envy.

The budget for this build with the gear shown here is somewhere in the 400-800 divine orb range. Some pieces would be difficult to replicate even still. Use the Maxroll link as a guide, and as a stepping stone with other powerful variants far cheaper to setup than this one.

If you have any questions, please ask. Just understand the timing of this video is such that changes to the build are very likely to be made in the near future. I'll update it best I can. Enjoy the video!

[PoE2] The Most Consistent Way to Farm Currency on Empty Maps

SnooBAE85 2025-01-11 | Not every map can be a juicer in this game. Other than moving from one zone to the next, some maps feel like a waste of a time. It turns out, Delirious Waystones are easy to come by and are a great way to make consistent currency on maps that serve no purpose other than a travel node. It only takes a little bit of Delirium Atlas progression to kick-start this method, and you too can enjoy the fog just as much as I do.

What other intriguing ways can you farm currency on these in-between maps? Let us know if you got any curious strategies up your sleeves. Enjoy!

[PoE2] How to Make the Most out of Farming Citadels in the Atlas

SnooBAE85 2025-01-10 | A while back I learned that Waystone drop chance impacts the number of Crisis Fragments each Citadel boss drops. Yesterday on stream I did a Copper Citadel and got a record four fragments. I wasn't sure at the time what the breakpoint in Waystone drop chance was to achieve this or if there was an added RNG component to it. After digging deeper, it appears there are set breakpoints of 0/300/600/1200 for 1/2/3/4 fragments dropped per boss kill. Here are a few things you can do hit that 1200% Waystone chance benchmark.

[PoE2] THIS Persistent Buff Offers WICKED Power Scaling for Charge Users

SnooBAE85 2025-01-09 | From the lowest of low ends to the highest of high ends, now we're taking a look at some tech for Charge Infusion. This skill gem has huge potential for late endgame power scaling on a Crit Flicker Strike Invoker as well as other builds that also favor charge-based gameplay. Bonus points if you can get more than one charge type into the build. I've yet to see a viable setup for all three, but I'd be interested to know if you have (warcries, anyone...).

[PoE2] The Lowest Budget Attribute Stacking Flicker Strike Build Youve Ever Seen

SnooBAE85 2025-01-08 | After getting several comments lamenting the cost and scale of a few recent build-related videos I've put out on Flicker Strike Invoker, I decided to see for myself if it was true that this build can't work on a lower budget. Not just any low budget, but dirt cheap.

This showcase features no rare or unique gear, aside from the main weapon, and also features only 4-links with no quality on any items except the body armor and weapon. Realistically, to replicate this setup with junk rares, it would probably cost 30-40 exalts. What do you make of a T15-capable build on such a tiny budget? Should it be possible?

[PoE2] Running 10 Trials of Sekhemas for PROFIT - Prep & Results (4-6 div+ per hour)

SnooBAE85 2025-01-07 | Welcome to the first of many currency strategy videos! Today is a pretty simple one. Four-floor Trial of Sekhemas with the unique relic that forces Against the Darkness. I've done this off and on for a couple weeks now, and it's always got me around a 2 divine profit for each unidentified jewel. A few other high-value targetable items can drop as well doing this. And you can even do carries for profit (which I didn't do or talk about in the video).

I'm curious to see the community feedback on videos like this. While they gave me great success on my channel in PoE1, this is a different game after all. So how do you feel about this kind of video? Was it worth the watch? Let us know in the comments. Oh, and how about that gamba section, eh?!

Highlight: Printing Divines with Hack Discussions

SnooBAE85 2025-01-06 | By far the most RNG-heavy map I've had in the Early Access. Granted, there are some good magic find stats going on here, but in this map setting even one Divine Orb drop would be considered lucky. For the record, this character currently has +348% increased Item Rarity on gear. Maybe all that talk about hacking is paying off!

Nothing Like a Good Palsteron Rarity Rant While Magic Finding

SnooBAE85 2025-01-04 | One of my favorite Path of Exile content creators made a rant video about the state of rarity in PoE2, so I just had to give it a listen. Don't mind the tinks.

[PoE2] Five Things You Can Do to FIX Your Monks Mana Problem

SnooBAE85 2025-01-04 | Here's another video addressing a question I often get asked, "How is the build against bosses?" "How do we deal with the mana problem?" I decided to take a break from mapping to test a new-and-improved crit/attribute stacking version of the Flicker Strike Invoker in most strenuous mana situations. The DPS on uber bosses is certainly there, but only if we can use mana. It wasn't all that easy, but I did a couple of things to make it work real nice.

Hopefully you can take something away from this video to improve your mana situation if you're at a point in progression where you struggle in this department (especially against bosses). Let us know in the comments down below.

I'm really liking this version of the build. I'll come out with a guide on it soon but should probably wait until after the doomsday nerf patch coming inevitably this week. Let's keep our fingers crossed. In the meantime, the Maxroll link down below is now updated with this version (for mapping). It may change a little or a lot in the coming days. Come by in the discord or stream in the meantime to stay up-to-date and to say hello!

Highlight: I Didnt Know People Werent Already Finding Lots of Citadels

SnooBAE85 2025-01-03 | Here's a little highlight from yesterday's stream I decided might be worth a view or two on the main channel. I honestly wasn't aware people were having such a hard time finding citadels. It may in fact be so obvious as to simply progress the atlas far far away from the start location. Give it a try! What is the latest conspiracy method to spawn more citadels? Hehe.

*PATCHED OUT* [PoE2] NEW TECH Unlocked for Getting Power Charges EASILY

SnooBAE85 2025-01-02 | Much tech-related content I showcase I don't come up with all by myself. In some cases it's 100% on account of a tip from a viewer. And in rare cases, that tip is monumental for improving the gameplay on a particular build I'm running. This is one of those cases. Up until now, Profane Ritual and Combat Frenzy (plus Resonance) were the only viable known ways to acquire power charges for this Flicker Strike Invoker. Both require you to be in combat, and both have certain aspects unfavorable aspects to them beyond this.

Now I present you a third and indeed superior way to the previous two methods. Lingering Illusion + Minion Pact support linked to Tempest Flurry (linking to Flicker Strike doesn't work). For the time being, I am committed to using this new method in all content I do, mapping or bossing. Let's all thank user jactor2 for this fantastic tip!

Let us know if this will impact how you play the power charge game going forward. Enjoy the video!

[PoE2] CRACKING the CODE on a One-button Flicker Strike Setup for Mass Chaining with INSANE Clear

SnooBAE85 2024-12-31 | Today I wanted to make a video showing everything I've learned through experimenting with Flicker Strike. It's taken a while to reach this point, but recent additions have turned this Flicker Strike Invoker monk into an absolute beast of a mapper.

Let us know in the comments if you're enjoying Flicker Strike, and if you have a setup that rivals that from this video. Or use the comments to ask any questions you feel were left unaddressed from the video. Enjoy!

[PoE2] Post-hack Comeback with a Brand New Flicker Strike Attribute Stacker

SnooBAE85 2024-12-29 | Well you knew I wasn't gonna quit. But you might not have known I'd get some help getting back on my feet. Big thanks for the community effort on this one. After coming back to stream, people seemed quite interested in this new Flicker Attribute stacker variant I leveled and am currently working on. This plus more insights as to the recent hack (that's still ongoing for many players). Let's try to make the best tasting lemonade today with a new build!

[PoE2] My Account got HACKED and So Did Many Others

SnooBAE85 2024-12-27 | This was a hard video to make especially over the holidays. I wanted to inform the community of something dark happening that impacted me directly. A hacked and or locked account is nothing short of an emergency situation for any player affected by it, and these are not just isolated cases. GGG has been completely asleep at the wheel when it comes to this issue, and I'm hoping each of us gets a proper solution-oriented response from them very soon. In the meantime, if you are a victim to this ordeal, I share your pain.

Let us know in the comments if anything suspicious has happened to your account as of late. If so, what were the parameters at play? As always, thank you for watching the video.

[PoE2] How Im Using Trade & Crafting to Acquire Good Gear for Flicker Strike Invoker

SnooBAE85 2024-12-25 | A while back, I suggested possibly making this video. Some of you said it would be really beneficial, so here it is just in time for Christmas. My gift to you! All of my personal Live Searches revealed, with multiple examples of purchasing and attempting to slam in upgrades. Strategically speaking, I can't think of anything that was left out that I've done for gear upgrades.

I hope this video serves you well. I know it's going to put a hurt on myself and some of you who already had similar live searches running for a similar build. But in my opinion, teaching the community at large how to use these tools is a worthy price to pay. Remember to close your eyes before you slam. That's presumably why my slams failed to hit in this video. Good luck!

Oh, and check the guide link down below for a newly updated CI Crit variant for mapping & bossing (plus Brotherhood ring).

[PoE2] This Jewel Saves 11 Passive Points for the Invoker Monk

SnooBAE85 2024-12-24 | To much surprise, several of Path of Exile's most powerful jewels have made a return to the new game. One such jewel, Controlled Metamorphosis, is showcased here with a very optimized positioning that can allow you to efficiently grab up to three separate 'increased movement speed' nodes you probably otherwise wouldn't get. All-in-all I personally saved 11 passive points that I wouldn't normally spend just to path where I needed to. Four of those points are dumped into other premium nodes in the wheel. This allowed me to take a much different route that's more crit-friendly, and so this jewel is truly an enabler for the swap to crit. I highly recommend getting one for Invoker (and possibly other ascendancy/builds).

What jewel slots and radius combos are you working with? Have you found anything spicy so far? I heard a massive wheel in the north packs quite a punch too. Do tell in the comments section. Thanks for watching!

[PoE2] Grim Feast is the MOST Overpowered Skill for Energy Shield Mappers

SnooBAE85 2024-12-23 | Invokers are going to be delighted to see this video. If you weren't already, you should probably go ES for what this passive skill can offer you while mapping. Rumor has it that many classically life-based classes are even doing this. You don't have to change anything in terms of strategy or clear. Simply reap the rewards of doubling your effective health and with absurd recovery.

[PoE2] Bossing Setup for the CI CoF Flicker Monk

SnooBAE85 2024-12-21 | We're back with part 2 of the CI CoF Flicker Monk build. This video is specifically looks at the bossing capabilities of the build. With a few minor tweaks, it seems to perform rather well. This build breezes through lesser bosses and can even stand toe-to-toe with some of the hardest bosses in the game. Watch out for those nasty elemental resistances though. Here's a quick link to something I saw on that front (I cannot confirm its accuracy) ► reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hgg1ew/boss_elemental_resistances_vary_a_lot

[PoE2] CI CoF Flicker Warp Invoker - FULL GUIDE

SnooBAE85 2024-12-20 | Monkgang, it's here! The official build guide video, and just in time to introduce the recent additions of Chaos Inoculation with Grim Feast. This character is criminally tanky for how fast it is, and if it is to receive future nerfs, it'll probably be on the defensive side. Flicker Strike + Lightning Warp is the build I theorycrafted (to some extent) prior to launch, and I've felt no need to swap away to something else. It's been an absolute blast thus far. While this showcase only features mapping setups, the build is quite capable at bossing too with only a few adjustments. I'll make another video featuring that in the near future.

In the meantime, I hope you like what you see. Let us know your thoughts, and especially if you have given the build a try. Enjoy the video, and please use the comments section to ask any remaining questions no addressed here in the video. Thanks!

[PoE2] Uber Trial of the Sekhemas FULL Run-through UNCUT on Invoker Monk

SnooBAE85 2024-12-17 | Trial of the Sekhemas (often referenced as Sanctum 2.0 from PoE1) and Trial of Chaos (Ultimatum 2.0) are the replacements for the old labyrinth ascendancy trials. Players gain an enormous power spike by completing these in four different settings. This video features the highest challenge for the Trial of the Sekhemas. Completing it grants the player their last two ascendancy points, a specialized unique relic boss drop, and a chance to get additional rewards like Grand Spectrum jewels.

Doing these ascendancy trials is a time-consuming endeavor that can be quite punishing and frustrating in the face of failure. Here's a full, uncut playthrough with lots of commentary, tips, accidental findings, etc that should help propel you towards success in your attempts and perhaps save you valuable time in the learning process. If you have any questions about anything related to the trial or the build, please ask in the comments below. Good luck!

[PoE2] Electrocute is a MUST HAVE for Any Lightning Build

SnooBAE85 2024-12-15 | When I first took a look at the support gems for Electrocute, I really had no idea how it good it would be. Unfortunately I didn't even try it until a few days into the Early Access. If you're running a Lightning build (especially Invoker Monk), or even if you're not Lightning but can still access it, be sure to try out this radical elemental ailment for yourself! Enjoy.

[PoE2] Recent Patch Brings Hidden BUFFS Amongst Nerfs to Energy Builds Like Invoker Monk

SnooBAE85 2024-12-13 | The NERFS are in! Everyone's talking about them. Many people's builds were deeply affected by them. Mine wasn't much. This Cast-on-Freeze Monk build was recycling the energy meter so hard that even a 10x nerf barely did anything. Or maybe it's because of the buffs in return. What buffs?! Find out in the video.

[PoE2] My Day One Early Access Experience Playing Invoker Monk

SnooBAE85 2024-12-08 | Day one is now behind us, and not unlike a typical league start, I'm giving my initial impressions of the game and my chosen starter build as its evolved from what was planned. Sprinkle a few highlights in there, hopefully it'll make for some fun and insightful content, especially those of you on the Monk train. The Monk is a wild ride for sure.

Path of Exile 2 is hot stuff right now. Lots of people concerned with the speed. Lots of people claiming it's way too over-tuned. Lots of people saying it's everything they ever wanted out of an ARPG. I think it's a great game, overall, but not without its concerns. Take a listen at the end if you want to hear that segment.

[PoE2] A Most Ambitious Flicker Warp Build Concept for Path of Exile 2 Early Access

SnooBAE85 2024-12-05 | Monkgang get ready! I am posting this video 24 hours before the launch of the Early Access for Path of Exile 2. This is a proposed theorycrafted build concept for an early-to-late endgame Invoker Monk with high-frequency chills, shocks, and power charges in play. This build features both Flicker Strike and Lightning Warp in the end, making this a truly "lightning fast" character that will no doubt push the boundaries of expected speed in the new game. I have every intention of testing this build concept in-game for myself, and I'm thrilled to share my progress with all of you on Twitch as well as with periodic "build update" videos.

I'm also keen to hear your takes, especially for all my fellow Monks out there. What tricks do you have up your sleeve? Let's brainstorm together and break the game (I mean make the most of it). Enjoy the video and thank you as always for watching!

[PoE2] Every Build Can Use the Most OP Skill Gem in the Game

SnooBAE85 2024-12-05 | Hey look! It's another weapon swap video. I decided to do a little theorycrafting around the outrageously OP Hammer of the Gods skill in ways that would be usable for pretty much any build in the game, even wizards. I hope this tech can be of some use to you when you begin to unlock the wonders of weapon swapping. Enjoy!

[PoE2] Weapon Swap TECH is Back and Bigger than EVER!

SnooBAE85 2024-12-04 | Hey everyone! I know you're just as excited as I am about optimized weapon swapping, RIGHT?! PoE2 comes with a huge boon to Weapon Swapping with seamless skill transitions, no internal cooldown, and 10 extra passive points specially allocated for both weapon sets. The possibilities are truly endless. Such an upgrade from what I was working with leagues ago.

In this video I decided to share just a snippet of what I'm cooking up for my own theorycrafted Monk build, the part specifically about weapon swap. Hopefully you are able to come up with some cool ideas for yourself on account of hearing the angle I took. And if you don't mind, share your ideas with us in the comments. Thanks for watching!

Shedding Light on the Previous Topic of WASD with a REACT REACTION

SnooBAE85 2024-12-02 | Apparently WASD and click-to-move is a much touchier subject than I initially realized, which only reaffirms my suspicions about the debate not getting proper scrutiny up to this point. And evidently there are A LOT more WASD/Controller enthusiasts than I thought eager to play this game. For for the first time ever, and after more than 500 videos posted, my most recent unusually opinionated video received a negative like-to-dislike ratio.

To all the people engaging in civil discourse over this topic (whether for or against WASD), I thank you for your previous comments. Unfortunately, it's clear to me that many people thought I was memeing, or needlessly angry about WASD integration, failing to recognize what I was really trying to get at. While I prefer to keep things civil and stick with making more informative content, I will always defend my position when I believe my position isn't adequately understood.

For these reasons, I feel compelled to shed more light on the situation. My actual stance on this issue, my personal history with WASD, and why I ultimately made the video in the way that I did. This is all done on the back drop of another creator, ds_lily (and her chat) reacting to the video. Enlightening AND entertaining, I hope. Enjoy the video! Or don't. Dislikes welcome.

[PoE2] WASD is MASSIVELY Overhyped, Its Gone Full-tilt the Other Way

SnooBAE85 2024-11-30 | A lot of confusion arose amongst the PoE community following the announcement of a brand new combat system the developer team had been working on. Most people's gut reaction was negative, but after immense assurance from the PoE2 dev team, many testers, and even some content creators, people are now banking on WASD being superior to click-to-move mouse as a core gameplay mode.

After much consideration and limited testing of it myself, I've come to realize that WASD and this new combat system to capitalize it has been grossly overstated and hyped beyond its merit. In this video I present three independent reasons as to why this is clearly the case. Nonetheless, I still advise any and all PC players to utilize WASD to their liking. The goal of this video is to temper expectations and encourage players to reason and deduce for themselves if and when they should opt out of it, so they may get the most prolonged enjoyment out of this game as possible

[PoE2] How to Start Theorycrafting Your Build without Path of Building

SnooBAE85 2024-11-28 | MonkGang represent! This video is not a guide for a build, but rather a guide on how to theorycraft a build for yourself with only the current limited tools and information. Expect a significant ramp up in size and clarity of these tools and information in the coming days. At the time of recording, Path of Building 2 is not released, and likely won't be until well after the launch of Early Access.

This final week is going to be FULL of clickbait guides pawned off as finished builds. I would not advise following anything that remotely resembles a build guide, including what you see in this video. But theorycrafting can be a lot of fun! So instead of just following other creators' creations, learn to do it yourself and revel in the discovery process! As for me, this is the most fun I've had in a long time playing at not playing the game.

[PoE 3.25] FINAL RESULTS from 1000 Magic Pack Wisped Sanctuary Maps

SnooBAE85 2024-11-25 | This is the conclusion video of 1000 T17 Sanctuary maps in Settler's of Kalguur league on a solo magic character. Wisps have returned this league, but are only a shadow of their former selves. My goal with this project was to get a better understanding of the currency drop situation surrounding Wisps in their new state. 100% of the mapping footage was recorded and remains on my twitch channel. I hope this data finds some use in your hands. Thank you to all who supported me in this project.

[PoE2] Livestream Reveal Reaction Highlights

SnooBAE85 2024-11-23 | The much awaited Path of Exile 2 livestream reveal has happened! After much speculation, we now have a better understanding of what to expect from the Endgame. Delve meets the Atlas for what appears to be an endless progression loop or at least a progression loop with endless possibilities. Several league mechanics have been stripped with some of their rewards merged into other league mechanics which remain. Yet this core game seems to error on the side of being too complicated, still. The passive skill tree is bigger than ever with more classes and ascendancies to choose from. I really look forward to seeing how the PoE 1 community responds to initial Early Access playthroughs and comparing that to how brand new PoE players feel about the game.

This video is a comprehensive highlight reel reaction to everything that was shown in the reveal. Q&A section wasn't included mainly on account of it being nearly three hours long.

[PoE 3.25] 1000 MAPS # 601-700 - Wisped Magic Pack Currency Farm (cumulative +33 divines per hour)

SnooBAE85 2024-11-14 | Here's maps set 601-700. For this set of maps I experimented by forgoing currency rolls on maps and Beyond to focus more on pack size with scarab rolls and more scarab nodes on the atlas tree. While scarab value was up moderately, it looked like currency took a pretty big hit. And this may mean a legitimately lower chance of dropping locks and mirrors. A worthy experiment, but I think I'll be going back to the other tree after this.

The first and last parts of the video are not included in the results, but took place moments before kicking off this set. Fun times! Enjoy the video.

[PoE 3.25] 100 MAPS - Revisiting Pilfered Diviners Boxes - Prep & Results (20-40 div+ per hour)

SnooBAE85 2024-11-10 | Well hey folks, I've got the pilfer bug, and it demands I get in one more grand session of pilfered diviner's boxes. Did you know that many of the most valuable cards are worth a lot more now than they were a couple months ago? Yet the investment costs of doing this strategy have barely moved in that same window of time. This makes farming pilfered divination cards one of the very best T16 strategies in the game right now! (so long as you can stand rolling just a few boxes) 1000 magic pack map test continues now after this.

Honestly, if you're still messing around in 3.25 v1 and you've gotten a well-built character, do some of these maps especially if you never did before. It's a lot of fun! Enjoy the video. The highlights are pretty great.

[PoE 3.25] The Case for Warden Bows in the 3.25 League Relaunch

SnooBAE85 2024-11-07 | Thanks for all the support to those of you who tried and enjoyed Elemental Hit of the Spectrum Warden round one of Settler's of Kalguur. Round two is hours away, and I know several of you have had this build on your radar. For those of you looking for the strongest elemental bows league starter, I believe this is it. I showcase some of the hardest content I think this build is capable of doing and or is made to do, specifically.

If you're someone who gave this build a try at any point in the league, let us know how it went, using the comments! Enjoy the video.

[PoE 3.25] BUILD SHOWCASE - Phys-to-Cold Trinity Tornado Shot Warden

SnooBAE85 2024-11-02 | Here's my build showcase for my endgame Tornado Shot Warden with Tinctures. I love the variety toolkit this ascendancy has to offer. Even for Tornado Shot, I believe with its current balance, it's more powerful than what the Deadeye has to offer. Slightly less clear and speed in favor of perma-instant-freeze and way more damage.

How do you feel about Warden vs Deadeye or Tornado Shot for that matter? Let us know if you have any questions in the comments section below. Enjoy!

[PoE 3.25] The Most DRAMATIC Endgame Quiver Craft of MY LIFE

SnooBAE85 2024-11-01 | One big reason I haven't made a build showcase video yet for this Tornado Shot Warden is because I really wanted to first make a rare quiver with +1 chain implicit. Recently, I discovered recombination is a legit tool to make this happen. So while the double corruption chamber has failed me nearly 100 times now, I'm off to test my luck with the equally exciting yet more infuriating recombinator. This video is a bunch of the most meaningful moments spliced together in chronological order. I hope you enjoy this unusually drama-filled crafting video!

Let us know if you have any questions in the chat about how or why this was achieved.
