This is a build guide that can help you gain infinite heals and stamina PVP in New World Season 4. I’m going to keep it short for you.
Weapon ArtifactsFor weapon artifacts, I’m running Finisher Rapier mainly because of its 15% permanent damage buff, which affects both of your weapons, and you can keep it up with the Keenly Jagged on your bow. I’m still using Refreshing Move on it.
I’m also using Energy Aura as the third perk on my bow, but you can use Enchanted if you really want to. This is a stamina surplus build, as you’ll see in a second, so it’s all up to personal preference. I just end up preferring the stamina.
For gems, I’m choosing to split my damage 50/50, as it’s the best of both worlds and has the least amount of counters. The 8% damage over time (DOT) is mandatory, but make sure the element of that DOT is different on both your weapons because they don’t stack.
Armor And Jewelry ArtifactsRegarding armor artifacts, I like Tumblers because it’s a 600 heal on no cooldown. The reason I prefer it over Featherweight is that of the potential it has. Featherweight offers around a 5% extra effective hitpoints (EHP) difference, which is around 900 health. So if I proc Tumblers at least twice in a fight, it’s automatically better than Featherweight, and any proc behind that just makes the gap bigger.
For accessories, Endless sounds good on paper, but you can’t put Healthy Toast on it, which is really, really bad. Ankh is nice, but it makes you pick between protection or stamina recovery, and obviously, you have to pick stamina recovery, so you’re going to miss protection. I like the universality of having different protections, so I’d rather not use Ankh.
Armor And Jewelry PerksThe actual perks on my ring and earring are the exact same as they usually are. Everything here is pretty self-explanatory. Gear we’re looking at 5 Shirking Heals. The buff to 7 seconds turned it from a good perk to an almost mandatory perk, but you’ll find a lot of people don’t agree with that because they’re stubborn and invested a lot of their money in a build that’s not good.
For my secondary perk, I’m running Fortify, and the rest is just normal stuff: one skill perk (Siphoning Energy), and then the random perk that Tumblers have. In whatever leftover slots I have, I put Health on, which in this case amounts to two health.
For armor gems, I’m running 4 Opal and one Onyx with full Energizing Runes. The Rune choice is a bit up to personal preference, but I highly recommend using at least one Energizing Rune, mainly because there are lots of clutch scenarios where you’re one stamina away from stamina-ing yourself out. The rest you can put range damage, but I would definitely not recommend Leeching Damage unless you’re using Boltcaster. The Leeching version is a flat 18% damage reduction against Boltcaster, Fire Staff, and other fully Elemental range weapons, and it’s a 9% damage reduction against bows, muskets, and B-buses who use a split gem. My Opals additionally cover 8% less damage from all Elemental sources.
Damage ResistanceRegardless if it’s melee or ranged, that’s 8% less damage from weapons like Abyss, Boltcaster, Firestaff, and 4% less damage from weapons that have split gems. The 3 Onyx I have covered some additional defense against melee players. This is purely optional and up to your playstyle. If you’re fine with playing super defensive and ratty, you can drop the Onyx for some thrust and lightning resist instead.
For the necklace, I’m obviously going with fire resist because that’s the easiest range weapon to get hit by. You can do movement tech or whatever movement cancels you want against other bows and muskets, and they’ll end up missing 90% of their shots. But it’s hard to do movement tech against Firestaff when they have a hitbox of a Boeing 747. Plus, the fire resist also reduces explosive shot damage from bows.
My completely honest recommendation is to have a set of amulets and maybe even some accessories that you can easily swap in and out. This way, you have the freedom to swap to another resist if you’re ever when there is no Firestaff. For example, let’s say you’re getting hunted by a melee assassin squad. Then, you should obviously switch to your slash necklace. Let’s say the enemy team has 10 Boltcaster players. Obviously, switch to a lightning or thrust necklace.
If your build is threatened by a simple swap of a necklace and maybe a ring or accessory, then maybe you should reevaluate your build.
AttributesMoving on to attributes, this does get a little interesting. 25 and 50 strength are still bugged but no longer in a good way. 50 strength doesn't do anything, and 25 strength, on the other hand, previously boosted heavy damage by 10% and light damage by 5%. Now it only boosts both damages by 2%. Classic AGS, honestly. But anyways, because of that, I'm dropping 25 strength and then also dropping 35 con to get 50 focus. This 10% extra healing affects all the pots I use and even tumblers, and I can justify the 900 Health loss from going to 240 to 2115 con with that 10% extra Health. As long as a fight lasts long enough where you go through two rotations of pots, then this 10% prevails, not even accounting for any sharing or tumbler procs.
This build shines in fights that last long, which is pretty much any fight against good players. It's also a very solo-centric build. The second you involve a pocket healer that lets these micro heals matter in the long term, at that point, you're better off running Featherweight and more pure damage reductions.
If you're investing in dex after 350, then I would still get 25 strength first. Simply because the 25 points here end up doing more damage than 25 dex after 350. So if your build is 400 dex and zero strength.
It is league start time, and that means that you need a good league start build. Because Path of Exile 3.23 Affliction League has some of the largest changes to the meta game that we have ever seen.
You’ll want to make sure that your first build is real solid so that you can bring it into the Wildwood. Within the Wildwood, you will be collecting Wisps as well as fighting off enemies in the darkness.
And once you’ve collected all these Wisps, they’ll come with you and buff all of the enemies on the map that you came from. These buffed enemies will drop tons of additional loot and get some additional difficulty.
On top of that, every single class has got 3 brand new ascendancies that you can have on top of your original. There are tons of powerful options here and a lot to look forward to.
And 100 + new gems have been added to the game. These are Transfigured Gems. Essentially, they’ve made alternate versions of almost every single main skill gem in the game and just tossed well over a hundred of them at us at this point.
There are tons to do in POE 3.23 Affliction League, so let’s talk about some builds. If you're going to make these builds, be prepared with plenty of POE Currency!
1. SRS GuardianStarting off here, I would say that this is probably the best build for newer players and most likely Righteous Fire refugees.
Righteous Fire did get some pretty heavy changes and nerfs. But it’s not looking great early on for RF. So, why don’t you just get a big giant minion that has its own RF that covers 3/4 of the screen?
On top of that, you can have a bunch of little minions that’ll do single target damage for you. It is super easy, SSF friendly, and extremely tanky build. It does pretty well all the way up through the campaign into early maps and can handle a lot of the early Pinnacle Bosses.
One of the biggest bonuses about this build is the fact that once you get the Sentinel of Radiance, you essentially don’t have to do anything anymore through the entirety of the campaign. This skill will carry you all the way through and you don’t even have to worry about anything except shield charging through zones and picking up loot.
I highly suggest that you give this build a shot.
2. Boneshatter SlayerNext on the list, for anybody who’s interested in playing a melee build, we have the Boneshatter Slayer by Carn.
Now, Boneshatter has gotten a pretty decent amount of changes this league. And whether or not it’s a very slight nerf or potentially a pretty large buff is yet to be seen.
However, what we do know is that the build is still absolutely excellent.
In previous leagues, I had put on a Boneshattered Juggernaut guide. However, the super highend of the Juggernaut might potentially be pretty nerfed and it looks like this layer is a just kind of ending up being the better build.
So, I highly suggest that you follow Carn for this. He is the Boneshatter guy. So much that one of the new alt qualities literally got named after him.
And the Boneshatter Slayer uses a bunch of really super interesting mechanics. Make sure that you go follow Carn, so you can see any updates that he makes to this build as we get information on the new Transfigure Gems and he does some more testing with all that kind of stuff.
If there’s anybody that’s going to figure it out, it’s Carn.
3. Vaal Flameblast Ignite ElementalistThird on the list, we have Vaal Flameblast Ignite Elementalist from Jungroan.
Now, you might know about Jungroan from all of his like speed running and racing content, where he basically goes through the entirety of the game getting the first 2 Watchstones in as little time as possible.
He’s posted like 8 or 9 of those this league so far in a whole bunch of different builds, but the one that stood out to me was this Flameblast Ignite build.
This uses a pretty interesting mechanic on the tree that allows you to essentially just extend the duration of ignites infinitely, meaning that you can use just a somewhat clunky skill that does a huge amount of damage and then just extend that ignite essentially forever.
This is an extremely well-rounded build. It might be slightly clunky for some people if you’re not very good at timing, because of the way that Vaal Flameblast works and it does use Wave of Conviction early, which some people are not a huge fan of.
But this build is exceptionally strong. And once you do learn how to pilot it, it is very good for bossing, clearing, and all kinds of other good stuff.
4. Poison Caustic Arrow Ballista PathfinderNext on the list, we have Caustic Arrow Poison Ballista by Palsteron.
Now, it’s no surprise that Palsteron has made another Ballista/Totem league starter, but this one has gotten a pretty decent update this league with the addition of Tinctures and the ability to have all sources of damage poison.
It is going to be significantly easier to make a bow for this build, meaning that it is going to be way stronger for way less gear.
Ballistas are a super safe play style. You can essentially just drop them down and run away and let them do the damage for you. However, if you are someone who likes doing the damage yourself or likes being upfront in their business, this may not be the play style for you.
That said, this is an extremely powerful build, way easier to gear this league and something that I can highly recommend.
5. Splitting Steel ChampionLastly, we’ve got the Splitting Steel Champion by Ruetoo.
I have played Splitting Steel a lot in the past and Splitting Steel this league has gotten some pretty significant changes. Call of Steel is gone from the normal version of this gem and it works essentially the same exact way it did previously.
You’re still going to be able to overlap all of your projectiles. You’re still going to have excellent clear and excellent damage. And Ruetoo has made a pretty early league friendly build that uses a ton of very easy to get uniques.
So, I do highly recommend this build as well. This version should be perfectly fine and it should get you through pretty much all content in the game.
Do you often feel that your performance in FC 24 is getting worse, or that you are stuck in Division 3? It’s time for everyone to stop complaining. You want to progress in FC 24, but you’re the only one holding yourself back.
So, stop complaining and focus. Because we’re going to give you five golden tips to improve your game. Hopefully, you have known these tricks before in FC 24.
Cleaner ExecutionLet’s start with how to actually use the controller when playing games. This is probably the most problematic thing I’ve ever seen. Because most players, whether on defense or offense, fail to execute cleanly.
Players often get so panicked that they press a button in a very important position. This makes it easy for you to miss the ball or miss an opportunity to defend within your own box.
This is something that requires patience. That’s why you need to stay in control and stay calm. Because you’re going to need proper player switching and maybe a tackle if necessary.
If you just make random substitutions or make insane tackles, it will only help your opponent. And that prevents you from switching a suitable player to your defender, getting him into a good defensive position, and patiently staying in front of your opponent to block their moves.
Therefore, staying calm and not pressing buttons will prevent your defensive position from being easily broken through.
On the other hand, you may not execute the move the right way when attacking.
Let’s say you want to take a step forward, but simply because you’re in a hurry and don’t have clean input for the move you want, you perform different Skill Moves. This will drop the ball on you. Instead, take your time at first and don’t get too excited about your analog stick.
Since Skill Moves are directional, it will take some time for you to learn skills in different directions. If you stay patient, you can perform any Skill Moves or any offensive mechanic the way you want, anywhere on the court.
In both cases, you can get into the skill game and train yourself in different scenarios. Offline training is probably the best way to learn to perform cleanly, because you can reduce the stress factor as much as possible.
Analyze YourselfAs an experienced FIFA coach, I often see players who don’t know which part to solve when they encounter a complex situation. At this point, I have a second suggestion for you.
During the game, you may not be entirely sure what the problem is. But as the competition heats up, you do what you normally do. This may come naturally to you. That’s why you might want to watch your game again to identify mistakes and correct them in future games.
You actually ask yourself, why am I doing this here? Did I really make these mistakes? Frequently asking these questions will lead you on the right path to learning and improvement.
It’s very easy to record gameplay from your console. For example, if you are a PlayStation user, just click the share button on the console to save the last 15 minutes after the match ends. The recording will appear in your library and you can watch your gameplay.
This will help you a lot, especially after losing a tough game. Because you know what you did wrong to better understand what to do next time. In addition, you can adjust the player’s comprehensive data for different situations to avoid wasting FC 24 Coins.
Don’t Get StuckNow you may be asking yourself, how do I get out of this position when my opponent has all passing options covered? But do you really realize what you’re doing wrong here?
When the opponent overloads the area, you are still looking for close opportunities on the same side. If you maintain possession, of course you will concede the ball. This is one of the most common errors and you need to fix it as soon as possible.
If you feel like you’re stuck in a game, there’s bound to be a player who can get the ball and help you get out of the pressure. Here, find the appropriate angle for Long Ball towards the other side, aim the player with the left analog stick, and load up to four spaces with Crossing button.
This can help you stay safely on the other side to get out of difficult situations, especially against this year’s 71 depth meta. You’ll find yourself creating easy opportunities instead of facing hellish pressure.
The Selected DefenderWhen it comes to preventing easy goals, you also need to watch what your defender does. You don’t play this game alone, and you will execute not every move or pass.
As you can see, defenders’ moments also affect your offense and have more of an impact than you might think. So the most important thing to do here is to look at we select which player in defense. This helps you decide between two opportunities as the ball travels.
We see that the opponent has selected his defender, which means he will take action with the ball after seeing his selected defender.
I shot past him to the side. At this time, an opening appeared, but he did not immediately choose his defender. I know he’ll be trying to cover Passing Lane soon. So I moved down again, clearing the way for my other player. This left a wide space in front of him, just because I kept an eye on the selected defender.
Mind TricksLast but not least, we have the most advanced part of FC 24, the mind trick.
Like I said before, you are not playing this game alone. Most of your opponents are also game aware. So this means that if you see an opportunity, your opponent can also see that opportunity and act cautiously in advance.
Therefore, the first and obvious thing that comes to mind is not worth doing, but taking advantage of other opportunities to defeat your opponent. Here’s a simple example to explain.
When we attack out wide, we get ahead of the opponent and have a really cool passing option. Since most offensive players will pass the ball here, most defenders will first try to defend the pass as a first instinct.
So, anticipating the defender ahead of time, we take the ball into areas where the opponent may be open to cover passing options. He defended the pass accurately, created a space for our ball carrier, and ultimately outsmarted us to get to the goal. This seems simple but requires considerable experience to try.
Now you have a new goal. Paying attention to these points will open up an alternative path for you to become a better player!

In this guide, we’re going to be taking a look at Galakrond’s Fall, one of the two wings of Dawn of the Infinite that’s available in Mythic Plus in WoW Dragonflight Season 3!
Dungeon StartGalakrond’s Fall starts out with some challenging pulls. To better meet the challenge, you can use your WoW Dragonflight Gold in advance to equip yourself. This way you will fight with relative ease.
You can absolutely skip some of this section with Shroud of Concealment.
If you do try to fight it, maybe take it a little smaller than Golden Guardians and don’t fight everything all at once!
ChronikarMove out of Timerip from the Epoch Rippers, and use stuns or other disrupting effects to stop Timeslicers from channeling Temposlice.
Chronikar has a few tricky mechanics.
Try to spread near the edges of the room when the boss casts Sand Stomp to avoid polluting too much of the arena. And make sure to dodge both the initial hit and the projectiles spawned by each Eon Shatter jump. Then, have someone dance back into the area to catch the falling Eon Residue!
Aside from these group mechanics, the Tank and Healer need to work together to handle Chronoshear, which applies a healing absorb and a massive damage taken increase that can’t be dispelled until the healing absorb is gone.
Use defensives and spot healing to survive and get the healing absorb off and then land the dispel to stabilize the tank!
The next area has a lot of trash and many different mechanics that require dispels, so don’t pull too many enemies at once to avoid getting overwhelmed!
Make sure to kick Infinite Bolt Volley from the Coalesced Time and watch your feet because there’s a lot to dodge!
Manifested TimewaysThe Manifested Timeways is a very challenging boss.
The ground will get sliced into four pieces, two darker Decaying Time zones and two lighter Accelerating Time zones.
These slices will shift clockwise around the boss, meaning in general, if you need to get to the other colored zone, you should run counterclockwise rather than trying to chase it clockwise.
During the Fragments of Time bullet hell, it’s easiest to dodge inside the slow Decaying Time zone and look for a gap created where the bullets changed zones.
The boss will also debuff two players with Chrono Faded. This DoT is quite nasty and when it’s dispelled, it creates an expanding ring that deals damage.
This ring expands very quickly if it’s dispelled in an Accelerating Time zone, but very slowly if dispelled in a Decaying Time zone. So, try to quickly dispel one of these in an Accelerating Time zone and then use heals and externals on the other target until the debuff expires, again ideally in an Accelerating Time zone.
After this boss is a nasty Infinite Infiltrator miniboss that you should pop CDs to kill. Or, if you can get your group to mount up and move together, it’s possible to skip right past it!
Blight Of GalakrondTrash in the next area is again very dangerous!
Risen Dragons are a huge threat due to their pulsing Necrotic Outburst, so pull only one or two at a time and use cooldowns if you’re fighting more than one!
The Blight of Galakrond encounter revolves around the Corrosion mechanic, a DoT that mind controls the target on expiration. It can be transferred by walking on top of a different player, which resets the timer, but does a sizable chunk of damage.
Aim to get this debuff on to the tank and then the Blight Reclamation frontal will clear it.
As you deal more damage to the boss, it will infect and reanimate various proto drakes around the room, adding more stuff to dodge, like Necrotic Winds and stuff to kill, like Necrofrost.
But the most important thing to focus on is juggling the Corrosion, so it never expires and it’s on the tank when the Blight Reclamation is happening!
Iridikron The StonescaledThe final area of the dungeon is full of the Epoch Rippers and Timeslicers from the start of the dungeon, plus Iridikron’s Creations, which just need to be interrupted on Stonebolt if possible!
Iridikron the Stonescaled is an epic end boss of this dungeon, and you’ll need Chromie’s Iridikron the Stonescaled help to stop him!
Extinction Blast needs to be taken to Chromie for protection, while the rest of the group dodges out of the way. This is followed by Stonecracker Barrage, where you’ll need to have most of the group in the big soak with Chromie and the tank alone in the smaller soak in front.
Heal up Chromie afterwards and then dodge the Earthsurge lines until you can break through the shield on the boss.
Dodge out of the Pulverizing Exhalation frontal, which also makes the area underneath the boss unsafe. And then, interrupt and kill the adds it spawns!
Once you get the boss to 90%, he begins casting Cataclysmic Obliteration. This is the final burn of the fight.
Get inside Chromie’s Timeline Transcendence to have a chance of victory and use everything you have left!
