Rakiata's Flow and Lineage support "single copy" rule encourage 1-button builds.
|
To maximize effectiveness of Rakiata's Flow, player need to remove all source of curse / exposure from their build. But by the rule of "single copy", there can only be one skill benefited from this support.
Which mean to use Rakiata's Flow player are encouraged to have only one source of damage for both clearing and bossing. In the vacuum of boss fight only, Rakiata can be incorporated in convoluted setup that is not necessarily one-button, such as parry-payload, but when clearing come into the picture, said skill also need good AOE or propagation to deal with swarming. This lead to a situation where player fall back on skills that good for both jobs, unintentionally create one-button builds. I have tried to use the support and find myself fall into this situation repeatedly so I make this post as a raised flag. - Cold Spark - Orb of Storm - Frost Bomb - 3 Cursed ground - Comet COC - Flame Wall invokation, after Rakiata: Spark - Flame Wall invokation - Wave of frost (shocking leap) - Siphoning Strike - Falling Thunder, after Rakiata: Storm Wave - Lightning Arrow - Lightning Rod, after Rakiata: Storm Caller arrow - Currently making build with Molten Blast and I have no desire to add a second skill to my build outside of Aura (Banner glory charged too slow and duration is too short so I ditched them in favor of other persistent auras such as Time of Need, Overwhelming Presence and Blasphemy Temporal chain).

" WHY should Banners give something significant strong or used more frequently. Devs should punish those who use this skill becouse the vision is one click clear screen and in fact has potential to be half click clearing screen. Keep walking like that and all players of poe1 gonna love it to come to Poe2. Profit my friend ...there is no dignity any more! |

so what is the problem? not everyone wants to press 10 different buttons. also rakiata is over 20 divs so it comes with a price. most casuals cant even afford this, so again what is the problem?

" The DPS differences is the problem. Clicking 100 buttons or one doesn't change the fact that some few classes/skills or whatever makes them powerful, kills the enemy in less than 3 seconds. That is where Devs should focusing to make customers feel treated equally otherwise game will be empty in few months. |

" i got rakiata after i got HH and other upgrades and honestly i barely noticed any DPS difference. rakiata is only good if the map has "monsters have extra resistance" or some bosses have resistance to damage. you get rakiatas last when you have nothing else to upgrade. most of the time it does nothing Dernière édition par Druidenjoyer#0031, le 20 oct. 2025 à 06:54:03

" Every boss has at least 20% to every resistance. And if you are lucky you'll get the highest score! If not you'll get something not bad... |

" When it come in conjunction with the limit of one copy, this unintentionally encourage people to use only one damaging skill because using curse / exposure to open up damage for other clearing skills will reduce the damage of the skill with Rakiata due to inverted resistance. And because this support removes the need of casting supplementary skills to apply curses / exposure to reduce enemies resistance, there is little to nothing you need to do outside of holding down your damaging skill. I am just raising it as a flag because it was my consistent behavior as a player while theory crafting builds through multiple playstyles, and it was in contrast of what they said they are trying to achieve. I am not saying it's "wrong" or problematic as I do not fully understand their purpose of the gem or the gameplay design. It is simply a behavior report. |

" Yeah i got it too and i have it in my autoattack slot and i swap when the map have resistance or the boss do. If map have no "+% resistance" it's just random what resist they'll have and you're just inverting everything so overall another support gem is better i think. Most map boss have no resistance. Now depend of your build i guess i use ice and unless you use all 3 elements it'll be useless most of the time. There are probably some very good interaction with it but i'm not aware of them. Mostly a big advantage for pinnacle. And i dont think curse are the only way to combo. I hardly use curse on my builds tbh. Still having combo. So i dont really understand also. I think it's good that lineage can only be use in one slot. SSF player Dernière édition par BlastYa#4875, le 20 oct. 2025 à 07:43:53

Used it once on crossbow and had to be bugged because ele focus was doing more damage than rakiata (xesht t3 has 75% lightning)...never used it again since, clearing maps with galvanic shards at 25k dps and doing a skill combo for boss. you dont really need it, you just want it.

Are you telling me that players who don't use lightning on their builds are having more fun with the game? Wow, color me surprised. Rakiata's Flow is only good for T3+ Pinnacle.
I only play SSF and it is my duty as one to inform you of my status. Dernière édition par SoFaux#7759, le 20 oct. 2025 à 13:51:01
