how/where do you get a socketed ring?

I currently use AA and clarity in single sockets (6th socket on armor, one in weapon) and I'd love to free up a socket in my weapon to change it from 2L to 3L

New base type, Unset Ring. It's gonna be pretty broken though if you can't roll sockets on rings of other types through vaal corruption. Extra Socket >>>>>>>> than any other implicit mod.

Will one really risk ruining a good ring for a chance of a socket? Knowing GGG, Vaal Orb will be like any other orb, tons of useless mods and a couple of good ones. Guess which ones will be more prevalent, lol.

I agree but... :
1st : I dont know what does trap and freeze mine ( for example -- are the zombies throwing trap who freezes all the mobs or....)
2nd : I want to use IIQ and IIR in my zombies.. i use Rise Zombie + Mulstistrike + Melee Splash + Culling Strike + IIR ( for now i have 5l ES chest and i dont have space for IIQ gem)

I want to make it this way : I want my Spectres BMs to deal some damage ( Rise Spectre + Inc burning damage + Minion Life + Life leech ) and my Zombies to cull the mobs with high IIR and IIQ ....

I also use Those Curses : Flamability ( for my BMs ) and Temporal chains

1. Trap = Support gem. Not anything else, simply the Trap gem. Its a multiplier like Remote Mine.

2. You can use a Tabula Rasa and get 6L zombies and 5L spectres. Also, if your linking BMs right, their probably gonna snipe kills pretty often, especially if your not using Montegrul's Grasp Zombies.

Your BM links are honestly pretty bad. Life Leech only works on their auto attacks, and Increased Burning damage is inferior to Minion damage, which all of them are inferior damage wise to Concentrated Effect, Remote Mine, and Trap. Personally I favor 6L Spectres over 6L zombies. Also, Elemental Weakness is superior to flammability in every way, especially with quality.

So..... you tell me that i have to use Elemental weaknes instead flamability ?
And...... what gems should i use for my spectres then ? 4l - - > rise spectre - trap - minion life - ?!?!?!

id rather use a weapon swap if you really need that additional skill

The only thing your "risking" is making your ring not mirrorable and potentially changing the implicit mod (which we discussed earlier and most of them you can do without). Pretty sure most of us aren't rolling around in rings worth mirroring.

Point is moot though if you can't roll a socket through vaal orbs, and my earlier point is still valid that the unset base type is stupidly good compared to all other base rings. Really disappointed with most of the news on this expansion though, especially with the way Vaal orbs are being handled with skill gems.

Thats not really an option for anyone who uses prism guardian.

If you can only 4L your spectres, it depends on your gear your snapshotting with and passives. You would probably get more damage with Concentrated Effect > Minion Life > Minion Damage or Remote Mine > Minion Life > Minion Damage. Trap is the weakest of the "More" multiplier gems.

Long hiatus, POE got a bit dry and boring for me after playing it for a year. But the new update is looking great those corrupted mods look really interesting and it would blow me away if there are Vaal styled minion gems =D.

Anyone know if were getting a reset for the new update?

I really want to test out a new passive tree built around the

It would give me way more room to pick up more damage via nodes instead of traveling so far for MoM. 40% damage reduction sounds amazing and am starting to think physical damage shouldn't be too much of a problem with a high level arctic armor. Dropping grace would let me pick up disicipline(top choice for mana efficient with MoM) for more mana, or determination for armor, or haste for zombie damage.

New Build Idea(Less tanky on paper(not sure if 40% absorb would make up for it) more damage and minion utility

Yes, were getting a tree reset with 1.1, its been confirmed (sorry can't be bothered to dig up the exact post).

99.99% sure that there will NOT be Vaal Zombies, Spectres, and/or Animate Guardian gems, as they are trying to move away from snapshotting on top of the fact that these skills have over the top effects and would be ridiculous on minions (look at Vaal Spark or Vaal Arc if you need to see the silliness of them). They won't be good for party play anyways since they charge up like potions, requiring you to get the kill, often taking 24~34 kills for a single use.

Also, not looking forward to the Vaal orbs, as their a new layer of RNG beyond stupidness. Once you use a Vaal orb, you cannot use ANY other orbs on the item, and it has the potential to do NOTHING. In the case of skill gems, it can even permanently set them to level 19. So if you were looking forward to a level 21 Zombie gem, know that the possible outcomes besides that are nothing, losing a level permanently, or getting quality as the bonus as well as the gem being unmodifiable from further vaal orbs and/or GCP on the quality if it wasn't already maxed.

The one thing that does look like it has potential use is the new Unset ring base type, that has a socket as its implicit mod. It's really a shame again that they chose to go this route, because as I've argued already, an extra socket >>>>>> any other current implicit mod in the game for rings.

Edit: Also, welcome back :D Even though my Summoner build has completely strayed from what your guide shows, I enjoy seeing your theorycraft.

This is basically the build that lasted for me whole nemesis, I loved that armor for making it able to run my passives like that.

How much armor do you think you'll realistically get with this chest? I have one, but never used it, since it has no real defenses other than an extra 10% on mana shield, no life, and looks awful. My current chest is far far superior. Can determination really outdo grace with this chest? Can it give any real armor at all?


P.S. Disapponted with vaal orbs and gems myself, too much RNG as always, and gems have no place in poe playstyle at all, not to mention the socket scarcity. Although lvl 25 zombies sound fun, and lvl 28 raging spirits even funnier.
