Planning and Goals - CoC DD - SSF Diary Day 0

[@Ventrua]

Trade league was pretty fun for the first 2 weeks, made a bunch of currency and 4 solid characters but time to change it up a bit with some SSF, hope the Necropolis crafting doesn't farm me too much. Will be doing daily updates, let me know what you would want to see in those

[@Equilibrium2903]

Could make the daily updates split into highlights (like finding/crafting upgrades, milestones reached and other interesting stuff that happened) and then a part where you talk about the build, where its at, what you are doing farming wise, what the plan is for the next day, etc.

[@MadcapMoody]

It would be very helpful to show what atlas passives you pick for corpse farming and how much juice you use. Im assuming its all done in t16s. Apart from this would be nice to see different strats you use while getting to 4 voidstones. Eg. what you farmed in early maps or some currency farming strats you used with the build (for divines, frags, uniques etc.) Off topic question. Mageblood dropped for me in a T9 map from a ghosted omniphobia. What kind of setup will be good with a mageblood?

[@JohnJones-lg3ql]

A 10-15min summary of your stream with the highlights + 1-2min summarizing what you did. I'll definitely be following this regardless of how you do it.

[@BobbyRaymond]

Very interested to see this SSF Diary as I was thinking myself of rerolling SSF. Subbed!

[@tenzinszabo9579]

Popping off this league. Love the reroll plan

[@logsofcor]

Biggest blocker for me on the grave crafts was the "gem scarcer" corpses. Got bored of farming for it and went without them in the end. Luckily got what I wanted from the craft! Like the diary videos as a learning resource. Kind of content many people don't do

[@Ventrua]

Will make sure to not waste those gem scarcers, thanks for a heads up

[@stefanrautenbach6550]

Rolled COC DD on SSF myself this past weekend. Spend 3-4 Hours in lab farming for the gems , but got my 2 Void stones and atlas complete now all on 5 link . Normal Trade league just broken with prices of stuff going up and down as streamers find / exploit game content. Not 1 min sad I went SSF. Even started to craft gear with the Graveyard now instead of just selling all corpses and managed to craft 2 very good items using Craft of Exile to help with craft. League mechanic actually fun when you need to use it to craft better gear in SSF.

[@Ventrua]

I actually had quite a lot of fun in trade but I still think I will enjoy SSF more (until I get unlucky in lab and lose all my necropolis crafts)

[@Ringwraath]

Looking forward too following this series

[@Anesthesia90]

yesss great awesome! I rolled this build in ssf as a 2nd character and been struggling to push it honestly just been hoarding mats without a clear way to move past T17s would love to eventually do ubers for once so hopefully this fills that hole!

[@TheEluminator]

My SSF impression of necropolis is a mixed one. You can get very very good items, but you get also lots of corpses that are just useless. Since we usually need to stack specific mods, but corpses drop equally you end up with lots of "dead" corpses in your stash. So at some point, you can craft one attack item, one caster item, one defense item, one life item, minion item... You get the gist of it. Currently I am waiting for another crit corpse so i can try to make the CoC DD weapon.

[@paul5317]

This was a great build on Ssf, you will be farther on day 1 than I am currently :)

[@Ventrua]

Well, will see how lab treats me

[@Davidbruun]

Welcome to SSF, you are going to enjoy your stay. The game is at it's best right now there. For CoC DD, being able to deterministically farm Awakened CoC in Lab is just chefs kiss.

[@Ventrua]

How bad do you think the lab is for gem farming

[@Davidbruun]

@@Ventrua I am actually in the process of farming Awakened CoC right now. Had 15 offerings saved up, so I will report back when I'm done.

[@Davidbruun]

@@Ventrua 13 uber labs, 31 font tries. No awakened or exceptional gem. 3 offerings left, will do rest later.

[@Davidbruun]

@@Ventrua alright, 17 offerings and 40 tries. Zero of the "good" gems. Oh well.

[@Moritz_269]

Really appreciate this series, gonna start coc dd in a private league this friday and was wondering if its possible to get your initial (post-maps) ssf filter somewhere?

[@fcbbbb3424]

im struggling to get yoke atm, cannot wait to see what strat u gonna do. hopefully i will learn from you

[@sniple4der544]

I used your guide to start CoC DD on SSF a few days ago and as my first SSF character so I'm interested to see how you progress in SSF

[@agustinjuarez5142]

Lighty has a very generic and low (0 investment) unique farming tree on his channel, really good to get some basic t5-3 uniques spamming some of your white maps. Worked very well, although three dragons should drop very quickly naturally.

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

I play casually 1-2 hours pay day SSF. I got everything together but Crit crafts for a battered foil. First serious craft 2 weeks in. I’m sure you playing 18h per day will just fine

[@d4rd4n47]

Got stunlocked by 2nd tree. So you're taking ritual/shrine nodes there just to add more monster packs for corpses/allflames? And do you really need to path to "Eternal Torment" cluster there? Are allflames that good? Also what's effect of explicits modifiers for? Thanks for the video. Gonna (re)start SSF with you, looking forward for updates & good luck with lab

[@Ventrua]

Allflames are good but the main reason to path over is the effect of map modifiers working on packsize (otherwise we would have just used atlas gateway)

[@Magge67]

Looking forward to this! My coc DD is lvl 97 in scssf

[@Ventrua]

Give me a few days and hopefully I will be there too

[@Magge67]

@@Ventrua sorry saw another comment from you about farming maps that only drop fortress to get Yoke faster. Got any more info on that? Really want that yoke for myself too :D

[@Anesthesia90]

Things I would love to get help with: How to transition from non t17 spectres into t17 spectres since you can't ask other players for em, how to build tanky, if going incandescence heart+xibacua vs other ways to be tanky, how to craft rare slots using league mechanic you could literally make a whole video about every rare slot on this build it would be awesome, also what allflames put where I literally haven't used most of em because idk with what mod pair them and im afraid to waste em x.x I know this is a lot but whatever you can put out would help a ton (I already made a decent foil thanks to your video, im saving corpses to make a final one soon)

[@DuM4U]

Chanel 6666 in chat, you can ask ppl for the spectres, probably should tip some chaos depending on your currency. It's pretty chill, but don't forget that tyou need the gear to increase the maximum number of spectres. Max 11 I think

[@ageofhans]

​@@DuM4UI think he's asking about an SSF method

[@IAmThatVlad]

Go Harbi ,you'll get exalts fast for hits can't be evaded :)

[@vahidrahmani6273]

@ventrua I am new in POE and stock in level 88 and dyeing in level 16 maps . I am following the COC inquisitor build . However I cant Craft don’t know about it and dont have money to upgrade my items. I watched alot of Crafting vidio however always getting confused and dont know why one item thinking will be good never going to be good for a build. What should i do ?

[@fihnsane1612]

do you have any good loot filter for SSF ??

[@dhu2071]

when you do the second atlas tree, do you do the rituals or is it just for mobs?

[@Ventrua]

Just for mobs, I don't plan to do actually do rituals early on (I might try to farm ritual uniques later using scarabs but not early)

[@maizena7646]

I've got a CoC in SSF I'm very happy with. It feels super smooth, tanky and fun to play but the single target feels lackluster. I'm not sure what I'm missing here as I feel like it's fairly optimized (still haven't gotten Yoke though...). The DPS feels amazing for mapping etc. just not for pure single target. I've got 6 high HP spectre corpses, arcanist brand with desecrate, 100% trigger crit chance, decent crit multi, first breakpoint for coc (14%+), etc etc. If anyone spots anything that can be improved I'd love feedback. I'll try to add the POB in a comment to this comment since KZbin is apparently good at stopping legit posters but awful at stopping bots lmao.

[@maizena7646]

I give up. For anyone curious: account name is "Skilledpadde" and char name is MaizenaTheCoC. I've yoinked some flasks and the assassin's mark to another char. Also the config isn't set up when importing (will f.ex show way too low crit chance etc.).

[@DuM4U]

Hey, did you get the t17 specters? They make a huge difference in the damage.

Can you explain pls how to get 11 top-corpses for DD in SSF? without global channel)

[@ReallyNotAGoose]

Finally got baited by watching Manni too much smh... But on a serious note, SSF is feeling pretty great right now IMO. Look forward to seeing what you get up to.

[@Ventrua]

Manni dropping a mageblood or mirror everyday definitely might have had a small part in this

[@fcbbbb3424]

@@Ventrua how did he get mageblood? random lucky drop or any specific MF strat?

Long time viewers call this the ventrua classic lol

[@arthurgnzg]

Nice

[@nebula8746]

I see you went with COC DD. Any other build in mind for your ssf?

[@Ventrua]

I was debating between Deadeye bow and CoC DD to start but ultimately decided for CoC, I will probably roll said deadeye later on. Otherwise, I will decide based on drops and how I feel at the time.

[@zakaluka]

Can’t wait for this series. I’m on a pseudo SSF of this build and was just wondering how to upgrade. Don’t want to trade, so looking forward to see alternative ways to upgrade.

[@Ventrua]

Well, hopefully this series will be something for you

[@burntorangeandblue]

How am I going to feel when V passes my two weeks progress in SCT in two days SSF?

[@divinityai]

t16 into t17 in ssf is hard, 3 builds that couldn't do it... but DD seems to work ez, just stack defences and your gem is your damage, don't need much. So idk. Also I kinda hate mechanic in ssf, you need tons of tabs or else you can't craft anything good. I still kinda resistant to drop more than 200 bucks on tabs. Also embers take tons of space too. So every day i'm finishing deleting 6 links or +2 uniques because i'm out of space lol.

[@blackjackbob3]

I wish the challenge requirements were reduced in ssf. I think I would enjoy it more but since it has the same requirment as non ssf, i feel like im disadvantaging myself if i am trying to get the achievement rewards.

[@zakaluka]

What is the website that shows unique progress?

[@Ventrua]

poeladder.com/ big fan of this site, it makes my SSF gameplay way more enjoyable

[@trevorward2179]

Alright goal post moved: one for each ascendency for each league format.

Including all ruthless leagues that's 152 characters should be fine riiiight (jk you probably won't see me in ruthless anytime soon again)
