Hi, im thinking about trying out the build on ssf, before the upcoming 1 month"event". Is there any way to farm the shield, aside chancing and the corrupted shield div card?

New to ssf, and some of this farming specific uniques is really new to me.


The shield is a very common drop. That being said, you really don't need it. It's a QoL not mandatory.

Are you planning to do HC or SC?

I did play hc and sc, but not ssf yet, thats why i ill see how far i can push in ssf sc, since im not experienced enough to go head to head in hc. Played already rf to scion and would like something smooth like rf, to map constantly in order to push as high as possible in the ladder. Tho it might be difficult on the atlas part, since its a mapping focused character i guess.

In SC it's easy to do bosses, just use Vaal RF and they melt.

If I'm playing this SSF do I still take conduit? I'm not 100% sure on mechanics so idk if there's a use playing solo. If not where else would those points be useful? Sorry if this was answered already

Edit: also you take a jewel socket but I didn't see anywhere in the guide what to put in there

We don't use Conduit.

Look at his leveling section, level 90 tree. Mouse over the jewel socket and you should see the jewel he socketed. Also, he has another jewel socketed in the other 1 point jewel socket. That should give you an idea what to go for.

"We tell people that Path of Exile league starts are a fair playing field for everyone, and we need to actually make sure that is the reality."

A BLATANT LIE by the HMFIIC.
Perhaps GGG should consider a leadership change.
I've been using this since league start and have gotten to red maps. I don't think there's enough sustain during RF to make it through those bosses. I'm baffled as to how you are getting through t12 bosses without running out of flasks and dying, as I am having to go in 2-3 times in order to finish them. I know you run ssf HC and I do not, so I was hoping for more tips. My profile is public if you want to look.

I will try to help.

First off, please read my post on page 10 of this thread, especially concerning flasks. Yours are not optimal, I'm sorry to say.

Next, do you use Path of Building? If not, here is a link to it;
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1716360

I went ahead and put both your and my RF Tricky characters into PoB so you can see the differences;

Yours

Mine

I only have 7600 or so life, yet I have more regen as well as quite a bit more damage. Granted, your gems aren't fully leveled/qualitied yet. Consider STRONGLY switching to a Vaal RF skill gem. VRF does more than double damage for it's duration.

Also look at my unset ring I use for my Purity of Fire gem giving me an additional 5% max fire res.

I know that my tree is slightly different than the OP's, but for me this is more comfortable and allows me to run scarier maps.

Oh, and another area of damage you are missing out on is your orb of storms; you forgot to link it with increased critical strikes for quicker proccing of Elemental Overload.

Hope some of this helps, good luck!

Edit; as the OP stated, this is NOT a boss killing build, this is a mapping build. I have killed T13/14 bosses, but not deathless. I mainly use this build for incursion running. If I need to kill a boss.....I use my boss killah :)

Thank you for the in depth response! I do use PoB and have been looking over the OP's version and mine, and the only major difference I was seeing was the skill points difference. I'm still new (though I have close to 200 hours, still feel like I know nothing!), so I didn't even consider the stuff you mentioned. Vaal RF and the unset ring are good ideas. Thanks!
Going to run this in flashback.
