Enabling Null's Inclination with Pacifism Support: A Dumb Build for PoE 3.28
Null's Inclination isn't good, but I tried to jump through the necessary hoops to make it work anyways.
Absolution of Inspiring is triggered via both a Cast on Crit setup, and Null's. Both are linked to Pacifism, so that they deal damage, but can't finish…

I ran 100 The King in the Mists so you don't have to
**TL;DR**
* Best way to run this solo is to suicide in the maze
* Roughly 20% drop rate for The Light of the Meaning (same as wiki)
* 55% drop rate for any corpse and only 10% drop rate for perfect corpse
**Total time**: 115min (could be much shorter if you skip picking up bad corpse and body armour)
**Total cost**: 40c per An Audience With The King x 100 = 4000c
**Total from Unid The Light of the Meaning**: 650c x 21 = 13650c
**Total Profit**: 9650c
**Total Profit per hour**: 5035c per house (12D per hour)

A friend was telling me he can kill The King in the Mists in 45sec and I call BS, so I tried. At the beginning, I was trying to solve the maze, which make the run stressful and I cannot watch video on the side. I switched to suicide in the maze phase and it become consistently 50-55 seconds per run. To be fair, my best time was 35sec, which I exited the maze in just 2 turns. However, there are also many times where it took me 20+sec to find the exit or even died.
Picking up items is very time consuming. If you skip picking up body armour and bad corpse, you don't have to go back to organize inventory as often and this will save a lot of time.
To help suicide faster, make sure you walk towards the pole to start receiving Branching Affliction stack right away. You may also use Doedra's Elixir (only 1 Endurance Charge), Coruscating Elixir, Vessel of Vinktar, turn on Righteous Fire and Frost Shield to drain your HP/ES faster
Only 2 perfect corpse worth money and total was only 200c. I did not bother considering this as profit.

Build Showcase: Permanent Vaal Molten Strike (with a bit of Mana Stacking)
Hello folks,
I'm a rather new player when it comes to making my own builds, and tonight I'd like to present my first self-made build: Permanent Vaal Molten Strike Mana Stacking (PoB: https://pobb.in/w7RqLxF1RulW).
In 3.28, a new support gem was introduced called Vaal Temptation. The gem removes Soul Gain Prevention from the Vaal Skill in exchange for a Physical Damage over Time debuff that stacks every time you use the Vaal Skill.
To offset this, we use Runegraft of Quaffing (Mana Recovery from Flasks is also Applied to Life) and stack as much Mana Recovery from Flasks as possible (praise big Eternal Mana Flask).
To sustain the souls needed to cast the Vaal Skill, we use the combo of Hateforge (skills cost Rage instead of souls) and the Keystone Chainbreaker (from Akoya Lethal Pride: 1 Rage regenerated per 25 Mana Regeneration per second).
For the Vaal Skill itself, the lower the Soul Gain Prevention, the better, because the duration of the debuff from Vaal Temptation is equal to the Soul Gain Prevention duration of the Vaal Skill we use.
For damage, we use a combination of mana-stacking items:
Manastorm gives a buff that adds Lightning Damage equal to a percentage of sacrificed mana (up to 61% if we use a Volatile Orb on the shield);
Cloak of Defiance with high flat mana and insane double-corruption [we can insted use Doppelgänger Guise if we want to have high physical damage mitigation (increase chance to not die from Vaal Temptation dot)\];
Khatal's Geyser is used to free up the prefix on the Mana Flasks, so we don't have to worry about our Flask to stop when we reach full mana
Arcane Cloak works similarly to Manastorm, but with a lower percentage (14% added Lightning Damage per mana spent);
For extra damage and safety against rares and uniques, we use Sigil of Power to trigger both Manastorm and mana-spent effects.
In the showcase video I made (https://youtu.be/2WogVS2jksk) — it's in my native language, sorry 😥 — I run some Delve nodes (1k depth) and maps, with two different setups:
For Delve and bosses, we use Increased Critical Strikes and Slower Projectiles for extra damage consistency;
For mapping, we swap in Greater Volley and Greater Multiple Projectiles for Headhunter Soul Gain and extra clear speed.
Sadly, the budget for the build is in "YES" territory — it's pretty expensive, didn't keep tab on all the investment, pecially on Volatile Orb uniques (the belt took like 50 tries).
I hope you find this build enjoyable, any tips to improve the build are apprecieated.
Have a great league, guys!

Need help on which oil anointment notable passive for Crit. to take for my first build. Assassination, Cornered Prey or else ?
Hello exiles, Champion lv 93 looking for the "better" crit. choice
build is a cyclone physical dmg, 100% impale on hit, chance 54 base crit chance, 4.53 crit. multiplier. vulnerability, both blood stance auras,pride precision. 2 free sockets left on items.
my main focus is to kill bosses. do you think it will be easy to keep up bleeding on bosses ?
the only chance to bleed i got is from vulnerabilty (with i apply on hit thx to the mark of submission ring) . is the skill Bladestorm a good way to keep the bosses bleeding? i can add the support chance to bleed to reach 50% chance to bleed.
otherwise i can drop the bleed to take "assassination" that gives less crit. than "cornered prey", but requires no bleeding

PSA: If you are trying to Recombinate 1p/0s item with 0p/1s item, you should use veiled mods. It increases the odds from ~35% to ~55%
After learning that even Sushi and Tyty didnt know about this, i wanted to share this information.
Many of you might remember in Settlers League we were just filling the item with as much veiled modifiers as possible. Since these modifiers were exclusive and only 1 can appear, it was boosting the chances of getting more modifiers but only 1 of them could appear, resulting in almost guaranteeing getting your desired modifiers.
Then in 3.26 this tech basically got removed, and people dropped this tech altogether.
However there is a catch, the only scenario where its still beneficial to craft veiled modifiers is the case of 1p/0s + 0p/1s.
If you just simply recombinate these items, its around 35% to get both modifiers. However, if you craft a veiled prefix on one and veiled suffix on another, this chance goes above 50%. The exact reason is too complicated for me to understand but i do this since reading about it in 3.26 recombinator analysis post, and from personal experience i can say it definitely works.
