jotd's 3.26 Guide for a well running EB

[jotd 3]

Introduction

Even though Alk is optimizing EB and removed some features that weren't working or not needed anymore, EB1 still has a learning curve that is sometimes difficult to tackle for new players.

Thats why I decided to write down a setup that is working well for me, and hopefully for you.

Botting Character

I decided to go trickster this season. Trickster, even though nerfed in 3.26, is an amazing defensive ascendancy. This way you don't have to worry about your bot dying, which can lead to problems and of course to less divine per hour. With trickster overleech (soul drinker) ever damage you take is immediately leeched back up. 
Since currently scarabs are not supported, we can only alch and go maps. Therefore we don't need that much damage.

I just looked up some tricksters on poe.ninja and decided to go with this build. https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/character/SuperstitiousAtheist-1995/NhatDiemHong

Smite Trickster probably works too.

The setups seems to be smart, using the new amulet to get a lot of ES, and using generals cry and the cluster jewel to get onslaught. Since I try to stay budget I'm not using the dying sun or the forbidden jewels.

Boots/Gloves/Helmet/Shield get crafted by buying a bunch of ilvl 84+ bases and spamming alterations on them until you hit t1 ES on one base and t1 increased ES on the other. Then you slap them in the unpredictable recombinator and hope both mods get taken over. If you are successful and your suffixes are bad, you can recraft them with eldrich chaos.

Sadly the resolute technique ephemeral edge shot up in price. I bought it for 6d, now its 20. If you can not afford this, just go without it and click on some accuracy nodes in the tree. For example "Acuity" with the +500 accuracy mastery. Be careful, EE now rolls 10-15% increased damage, it is MUCH better to get a 15% one without RT, than it is to get a 10% one with RT.

For lethal pride is use one that gives endurance charge on kill and rage on hit. When I bought it they were like 100c. This way you can chose what you want to annoint on your amulet. I'm using charisma since I didnt want to run jewels with reservation efficiency. 

Currently I'm at 13.600 ES with items I would count as "good, but far from perfect".

Atlas setup

I'm a bit all over the place. Most important are the Deli nodes. Those account for 50% of my gains. I'm also running a bit of essence, scarab, strongbox and shrine. Adjust to your liking.

EB Setup

This season I decided to bot in T16's. If you have a strong character this seems to be worth it. If not it is totally fine to just spam t1 - t4 maps, but that is not topic in this guide. 

Currently the pickit delivered with EB is very strict. I don't like that, so adjusted it. Now it picks up more scarabs and some uniques that I can convert to dust in Kingsmarch.

Also the maps.ipd delivered with EB is currently a bit broken. By default it doesn't include some of the new maps, which can lead to crashes. Also many of the modifiers included in the file are outdated and don't work anymore. My advice is to use an ipd where you block all maps except 2 connected maps. I chose ashen woods and lighthouse, since those 2 maps don't have a boss arena which are prone to bug the bot out. Also I scyred good divination cards from defiled cathedral to ashen woods. So far no Apothecary :(.

I also added the map modifiers that are bad for this build. This way my EB leveled all the way to 98. Could probably go to 100, but there are a few crash issues currently, which leads to deaths.

[map_monsters_reflect_%_elemental_damage]     >= "1" && [Rarity] == "Rare" # [IgnoreMap] == "true" // Mirrored -- Monsters Reflect % Elemental Damage
[map_player_life_and_es_recovery_speed_+%_final]     >= "1" && [Rarity] == "Rare" # [IgnoreMap] == "true" // Less Recovery
[map_monsters_cannot_be_leeched_from]     >= "1" && [Rarity] == "Rare" # [IgnoreMap] == "true" // Cannot Leech
[map_additional_player_maximum_resistances_%]     >= "1" && [Rarity] == "Rare" # [IgnoreMap] == "true" // Minus Max Resistance
[map_player_non_curse_aura_effect_+%]     >= "1" && [Rarity] == "Rare" # [IgnoreMap] == "true" // less non-curse aura effect

And I enabled chiseling the maps. Its just too strong not to do.

The combat setup is simple. Rightclick for lightning strike, lowest priority. E for Vaal Lightningstrike, 5000 cooldown, higher priority. R for "Order: To me" to heal your merc. "1" for your Prismatic Tincture. I use an attack speed tincture, since I get elemental penetration from doryanis in my merc. 15000 cooldown and target selection rare.

Since Auras dont disable anymore on death you dont need to set them up in the combat settings.

Attached are screenshots of my EB settings and also my configuration folder. Keep in mind that configuration files can not always be carried over to new versions, so in future those might not work anymore.

Coordinator

Sadly I cant tell you why the coordinator is not working for some people. It is working for me. Ini is also attached. I use it without the restarter. The way I start my bot is just by rightclicking on the .exe of the coordinator and run as administrator.

POE setup

I use the "soft" filter from filterblade. Normally it is not advised to use a filter, but in t16 too much stuff is dropping. The soft filter does not seem to interfere with EB, so thats good.

Also go to the keybinds, change "Item pickup key" to "alt" and the "Show advanced item descriptions" to "F". Then go to game settings and enable Key Pickup "use bound key". This way your bot does not missclick on items he doesnt want.

Flask setup

I always use 2 quicksilver flasks with movementspeed and enkindling orbs for more effect. The bot walks around a lot, so if you have good movementspeed, you are much more effective.

The other flasks you can chose by your liking. But of course, if you run Grace aura, it makes sense to use a Jade flask with increased evasion rating.

Merc setup

We are lightning based, so we can make use of doryanis and perquils toe on our merc. Piscators and Dawnbreaker for weapon/shield. Kaoms binding for defensive. Curse on hit gloves with elemental weakness. Windscream boots so it does not overwrite my mark. Rings with minus to lightning resist to make use of doryanis. Helmet just to round everything up with defenses, cold/fire/chaos resists.

I use kineticist since fallen reverend sadly bugs out the bot because of the minions.

 

Any questions, let me know in the comments.
