This video is pure gold thats it. Like when somebody do the work for you and all you have to do is just to have fun. I made double dps in just 1 hour of trading and very low cost. Thank you!
I think this is the first video I've seen that has essentially peeled back the curtain on how people are actually upgrading their builds. I've struggled a lot with this (and still do), but I had no idea what I've been missing until now.
Didn't know about adjusting the minimum sum to reduce the amount of items that show up on the trade site. That is incredibly useful information. Thank you! 15:40 for anyone not sure what I'm talking about.
Absolutely great video, thank you! It’s my third league playing casually and I never made it out of yellow maps. I tried your build this time and I’m having a blast, killed the non Ubers and I’m generally not thinking to quit right now. Good job man!
I've been playing POE since Delve and this video single-handedly transformed the way I play the game. Fantastic content, my dumb lightning strike build went from 1M DPS to 40M DPS with all these pro tips. Thanks man.
This is exactly what I needed to learn! Im around 250 hours, have had a few different builds make it to red maps, but I struggle with knowing what to chase for upgrades without going for BiS. I know there are incremental upgrades i can make, but there is such an overwhelming amount that I just kinda YOLO into blasting maps without much of a direction. I have started playing around more with PoB, but again, there is such an overwhelming amount of information that I was kinda paralyzed. Thank you so much for this direction. I have learned so much from your content and I appreciate how much effort you put into these videos!
Thanks a lot for this video. I really like your approach of teaching how to think for yourself instead of blindly relying on a build. Your video's have made me much smarter and able to figure things out for myself. It's like the saying: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach him how to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime. Also: the progression tab in your SRS maxroll guide is really really helpful, thanks a lot for that. It sometimes is difficult to determine which upgrades are more important to go for first and that helps a lot with that.
Awesome Video! Been playing for like 6+ years, and this is the best single video I've ever seen in regards to upgrading your character and progressing. Appreciate you Subtractem!
I actually learned about 2 useful things here, even tho I've been using pob for years, probably newer features that I never noticed, we can always learn! Thanks for the video :) !
This video is really informative, the problem I face is I know what I need to upgrade .. I don’t know how to craft the item, I probably need to watch your crafting video again . Thanks for this video ❤
This is awesome, please do more videos like this. Been watching you for a while now, and I absolutely love your viewpoint on things in this game. I've learnt more from you than any other PoE creator in all honesty. I've taken the way you approach things in this game and tried to implement it into my own way of thinking towards things. You make learning fun and that makes for a great teacher ^-^
seriously, thank you so much for these educational vids! I was trying to find some documentation on PoB custom modifiers just yesterday and wasn't coming up with anything useful (or recent). Didn't know about all these gear searches and kinda stuff!
For the Animate Guardian I make a second character in PoB and set him as a supporting party member so all the calculations get done as I change my own build. Great video though! I am definitely going to make use of that trade finder thing.
I'd also like to know what the in game DPS is calculating. I hear it's pretty bad apparently but I don't know why, and It would still be useful tho know then it's fine for a quick check comparing things. not for the actual numbers but in what scenarios is it usable for a quick AB.
Good content as always. But sometimes my challenge is identifying where most of my damage or defense is coming from. It can be tedious hovering something and looking at the dps loss in red. Hope there's a chart that shows the sources of your dps/defense.
My trader window shows 'Session Mode' and no dropdown options for Realm or League. It then crashes on any search. How do I change it look to like yours? Thanks.
I have a +2 wand that rolled 3 crappy suffixes (cast speed, crit chance, crit mult). Would you annul (pray for suffix) > prefix can't be changed and try to hit the minion attack/cast speed? Or should I just continue fossil crafting with jagged, shuddering, metallic, and corroded?
@@subtractem Ah, so I would probably have to prefix can't be changed > scour > prefix can't be changed > aisling for attack/cast speed then trigger huh? Is that worth the price.. or cheaper to just keep trying fossil crafting.. haha
How difficult would it be to code PoB to organize jewels better? Like show the jewels in cluster jewels underneath them and offset from the cluster its in or something.
Unrelated but I've been using SRS and and am an absolute newbie with Animate Guardian, just equipped 150c worth of gear on him (a lot for me right now) and he died, I didn't know that meant I get kicked in the balls for that. Feels soooo bad to be punished like that. Would be cool to get a noob-safe guide/video on AG/Spectres 😂
1) Don't bother using AG until the gem level is at least lvl 19 (preferrably max). His HP scales with gem level and any +# minion levels that you get from gear really helps there. 2) Link his gem to Minion Life and Meatshield. It gives him a ton of HP. 3) Consider using the Meatsack spectre. A perfect one gives 40% increased life to all your minions. They cost 1c right now. 4) Make sure to give high elemental/chaos res to him on his gear as well as from your bone ring, shield, and the charms that give ele resist to you and allies. In general, the only things you should have issues with are The Feared, Ubers, and insane empowered essence mobs and the like. Otherwise, his HP should be barely moving.
This Video is Pure GOLD! I do have a question, HOW TF do i get the stats to show!? atm I'm not getting any stats to show, I've been looking through the settings and had zero luck on getting the Items to show full stats and it's driving me crazy! some please help!
So I've been trying the "sort by hit/full dps" thing and my results list always shows things in alphabetical order. No matter what I press, the list is just alphabetical. Anyone have any ideas what's going on??
@@subtractem Also, something I wish content creators mentioned when talking about punishment: It's not entirely realistic to use the average damage between enemy on low life vs enemy not on low life. Using the average is saying "half of the time, we deal more damage", but that assumes the enemy will be at half life *half of the time*, which is incorrect. Imagine we deal 10 dps normally, but 100 mil dps when the enemy is on low life. The "average" is ~50 mil dps, but that doesn't help us calculate how long it takes to bring an enemy with full 100k life down to 0. First we use our 10 dps to bring the enemy to low life, which takes 5000 seconds, and then we finish off the enemy in just 0.05 seconds.
I usually mention this also when I talk about it but your example is pretty extreme. At high curse effect scaling you'll likely never go over 100% increased damage taken which, best case scenario, is doubling your damage. In which case we're just looking at 66% of the time over low life and 33% of the time below.
honestly if this information was represented accurately in game people would probably have less issues figuring this stuff out. also would help to make information clearer and less confusing
You can almost feel the annoyance from sub seeping through replying to countless people asking about build reviews and then finding out they did not even try and look at upgrades themselves, or is that just me?
As a new player(first full season)i usually plug in items from trade into pob and for dmg i can tell if its good. But for defenses I lack a lot knowledge on what stats matter most for me at any given moment. So I plug in the item and now i'm stuck because I can't judge if the trade between spell suppression and ehp or ehp and maxhit is making me tankier or more fragile.
@@WizoIstGottlosing out on spell suppression is generally always worse than losing out on EHP. There’s lots of other factors that come into play but basically never skimp out on spell suppression especially in high tier maps.
If you gonna be annoyed with questions from new players in a game as complex as PoE then maybe time to shift content focus to candy crush. But in all seriousness I don’t think he is annoyed at the questions, just comes across like a teacher explaining how to draw a circle to a kindergartener
For the second line of Radiant Crusade to work you need to enter the total life of your Sentinel of Radiance under Skill Options in Configuration.
This video is pure gold thats it.

2 years of watching subtractem and I’m still learning things from this man
Thats the beauty of PoE, you always learn new things. Heck i played since beta, and I learn things almost each time i login.

Thank you! 1k hours so I'm still a noob and had no idea some of these features existed. I spend hours manually typing in trade searches.
Insert thumb into rectum to complete novice apprenticeship.
Nice work! Maybe this will turn into a nice ever green video we can use for years to come. Prayge!!

Wow! This is amazing! Not only showing what to do, but HOW! Thanks!
This changes everything. I should've subbed from crafting guides but better late than never.
truly the master of teach a man to fish
Goodjob substractem, you are seriously one of the best build makers out there together with cptlance
You're the best POE educator out there.
This is a GREAT deep dive into POB! Thanks man, learned quite a few tricks from this.
Great video, never knew the power of POB was this extreme. Honestly even more excited to play Path.
For the Animate Guardian I make a second character in PoB and set him as a supporting party member so all the calculations get done as I change my own build.
Great video though! I am definitely going to make use of that trade finder thing.
Oh I didn't know that's possible. Nice one!
oh my that was just in time! I was playing with PoB and trying to learn exactly that yesterday and today
Awesome video! Helped me tremendously. Thanks!

you need trigger craft anyway so you have to yolo annul. if you hit a prefix then start over. it's the way she goes.

Like show the jewels in cluster jewels underneath them and offset from the cluster its in or something.
how do u set that full dps number of 34 milion at the bottom as it is not shown for my POB
I'm on SRS build but when I get Trade for these items I get random armor and dex fillters over minion ones ... I wonder why
Unrelated but I've been using SRS and and am an absolute newbie with Animate Guardian, just equipped 150c worth of gear on him (a lot for me right now) and he died, I didn't know that meant I get kicked in the balls for that. Feels soooo bad to be punished like that. Would be cool to get a noob-safe guide/video on AG/Spectres 😂
I lost a 5 ex ag in halls of the grandmasters my first time out.
That was back when ex meant something.
1) Don't bother using AG until the gem level is at least lvl 19 (preferrably max). His HP scales with gem level and any +# minion levels that you get from gear really helps there.

You need healing flask for AG, I assume, mine died in t16 map with league mechanic and I didn't bother redoing it
All of these tips would make such a helpful video
God tier vid !
You can easily simulate the average punishment damage by manually setting your shock effect: ((18 + 60 * curse effect) + 18) / 2
Thanks a lot for the Video! Would you mind providing the added text (modifiers) you put in yourself? Thank you !
It's in the pob of the last update video
@@subtractem thank you! I will check that out later this evening. Have a good one.
Thank you sub! 👏🏽👏🏽

Could punishment be better simulated by clicking enemy on low life and custom 50% less punishment effect for average effect?
That's another way to fake it but then that runs into the issue of other low life effects
