The Making of Ghoul Tread, the #1 Pierce boots in PoE (Path of Exile Crafting)
84What's up guys, my name is TheAmigoBoyz and you might know me from some of my previous item showcases on this subreddit ;) Today me and a good friend of mine, Mobius, co-crafted this pair of boots for the ultimate pair of ascendancy-boots in the game (as of right now).
Why is this so good?
Some of you might be new to the game, and are maybe wondering why these are so good? We'll, let me try to explain it the best i can: You have probably heard of those amazing onslaught boots, but what you might not know, is the fact that onslaught is also available on rings. -Yes that's right! So having these boots along with a ring (that for example has onslaught and intimidate implicit), allows you to have permanent intimidate, onslaught as well as tailwind as long as you are hitting every few seconds between packs! This is INSANELY GOOD and it works on bosses too!! On top of that it has pierce, which is very good now that we won't be going deadeye. Because the Deadeye ascendancy is mainly used for the tailwind mod, but when we can get it on our boots, there's no reason to take it over lets say Pathfinder, which is SOOO strong with the unique flasks. And if we don't take Deadeye we aren't chaining and can use pierce instead. This pierce on the boots saves us 3 points on the skilltree. And as pathfinders we dont need the freeze immune craft either, as Pathfinder gets all-ailment immunity from the ascendancy! Overall, its an insane pair of boots!
What exactly does tailwind do?:
Tailwind is a mechanic that increases your action speed. This includes the speed of your character movement as well as your attack and cast speed. Since, this not your regular way of scaling attack/movement speed, this acts as a MORE MULTIPLIER to your movement speed as well as your effective DPS. So this stat alone, assuming you can't get it anywhere else, gives you a whopping 10% MORE movement speed as well as 10% MORE DPS. -That is crazy!
Crafting Process:
The crafting process was actually pretty simple, yet very hard to hit. First of all we used a hunter's exalted orb to add hunter-influence to an existing Legacy pair of Two-toned boots. When that was done, the hard part began. Now we had to hit abyssal sockets along with tailwind and another suffix, and it took us more than 200 hollows to even see it once! (thats over 300 exalts used). When we finally hit the tailwind + abyss socket suffix, it had a very bad 3rd suffix. So we decided to try and annul it off, which SUCCEEDED! We were so stoked as you can probably imagine, but were scared to slam it. When we finally got the balls to do it, we managed to hit t2 Strength on our first slam! This was absolutely crazy, the odds for hitting a good suffix were abysmally small. Now the metacrafting part began, and it took us roughly 500 exalted to hit this combo. Originally we had wanted to get +89 life and 25% movement speed, but we hit this combo at the 500-exalted mark, and stopped to think for a bit. Yeah, actually we really liked the pierce as you aren't gonna go deadeye anyways, so you wont have chain.
Overall, Mobius and I are so proud of this monstrosity of a boot we have created, and hope you all enjoyed reading this small essay, heh :) And I will also be having a Youtube video showing the metacrafting process up on my channel in the coming days. We didn't record the fossil part tho, as Mobius hit it (my RNG is too bad right now xD)
Merry Christmas Exiles!
