Another build that sinks because of chromatic system

So you need 3 red + 1 green on a vaal regalia why don't you use Vorici and i'm not talking about the 3 red sockets option. Or go for rng and just spam chromatics.

shouldnt be that bad to get 3r 1g 2b on 6L es gear.
spam 1r (4 at a time)

cost you about an ex in chroms.
Really isnt that bad compared to some of the combinations i have done.

if that is too much for you, then consider running an ES Atziri splendor.
It is really easy to roll any combo on it

My initial thought was the 2r, but agree with both definitely not the 3r. I'm curious about the exact math but yeah, 1r is probably better thinking about it now.

You can also try rolling reduced attribute requirements. Then chrom, then scour and craft.

I like this way of fixing, perhaps buffing this affix, dont really know what else its really used for.

If that really works this way (not taking base but current stats) ive learnt something more about PoE today, thx.

It does, but I don't think it's ever worth it. The cost of rolling an amazing ES chest is absolutely ridiculous. Unless you're insanely lucky, you'll either burn all your orbs and have nothing to show for it or stop once you get to a chest that's just okay. You're much better off buying an amazing chest, then paying a little more to chrome it than you would if you had crafted on that affix.

This is pretty neat, plus I like how much swears and curses.

The way OP started off I thought he was looking for 5 or 6r.

Just got frustrated after spending a lot of chromatics in one boot and one chest. Then tried to theory craft a build(i theory craft around 5 builds when i start haha), then i saw i needed colors hard to get that are COMPLETELY rng based, so i came here to cry, not that i don't think chromatics shouln't have more options, IT SHOULD, but heh, it's just tears anyway. Would be pretty fair options to choose 6 colors, even if it costs 5k+ chromatic, at least you could just farm currency and be sure to get the colors. Sometimes i put one item on Vorici bench to get some colors, it repeats the same unwanted pattern a lot of times, when the currency runs out? Frustration that is. I will slow down too, i am creating too many chars and not having time to farm the currency to equip them properly and it is in the end game that most currency comes, so yeah, thanks for trying to help too, even though i know about the attr req craft to change color, my complain was about the lack of options, not making it easy or harder, but not having to deal with rng as when linking or giving sockets to an item.

Sounds like you have fallen into the melee CI noob trap that one of the devs was talking about on some podcast lol .

Actually not a trap, would work, i calculate everything in the char at lvl 90 when i theory craft it, so yeah, numbers don't lie, would be a cool char.

Why dont you use atziri splendour instead of 800 + es vaal regalia? It is not the best chest piece but you can geto to 10k es with it easily and get the right colors cheap :)

Getting thoose two blue sockets sucks.. 4 off color aint hard on a regalia.

if you are going to rage please make a valid argument or make the thread entertaining.
