jerds9293: I wish the community would get away from the word "broken" to describe very strong

FFB-3675: They did the same with jewels from the last 2 pennicle bosses searing and eater. Drops were huge first league. Second league nerfed drop to the ground. It will be the same next league. They are just letting us taste them and investigate around them.

TalkativeTri: Wow, this is a pretty cool item. Seems like a good chunk of the uniques added were pretty awesome.

shuyin69: i use frostblink of wintry blast in a 0.47s temp chains picking some tree nodes, hextouch and less duration, you kill white packs just with the skill, and gain the souls pretty fast in blue, rare and uniques, specially bosses, 2 quick blinks gives you 45 souls

Trinedyy: You are overstating a little how important the timings for the duration and hit time are. You will sustain the stacks easily even when automated during normal mapping if you are ranged. You run away from enemies in normal gameplay.

There are also problems with asenaths as you cant lower the curse time with support gems. Also if you move too far you dont get souls from corpses. Proxies also don't get souls from through asenath setup.

I wrote an extensive reddit guide on pathofexilebuilds if you are interested more on the setups.

Killzad: You can roll your maps with "Debuffs on Monsters Expire 100% Faster" Boom! profit!

n8doggy733: Frostblink

matthewdeklerk3457: please stop calling specifically designed, intentional interactions from pinnacle boss drops BROKEN.

danielhovan6607: Here is an interesting engine, arkhons tools, you are shocked, chiled and scorched, pair with replica winterheart and you get 5% energy shied per second, pair with winterweave for reversed chill, pair with eldrich battery for unimited mana, pair with bladefall of tarthus for neverending bade fall, pair that with hextouch so you always curse enemies, pair enchantment on your flask with when shocked or chiled for always activated aka bufget mageblood.

skiruskronos2732: Don't feel bad for Ziz, he has it coming XD

criticap-jo9dl: You wasted a ring slot anyway, why not just use the Soul Eater unique glove? Unless your glove is build enabler or something, you can save so much hassle, so much socket and even make hex useful rather than wanting to expire it faster to render it useless.

Tho the idea itself is not bad.

johnturtle6649: old school lightning warp also utilized awakened swift affliction for even less duration.

Tibasu: I was wondering which of the bosses I should focus on for SSF and it looks like I found my answer.

МистерТвистер-н4я: When i first read its modifiers i thought it was giving vaal souls for free and thought it was absolutely useless, turns out it gives soul eater stacks and can be powerful

sangun0619: Less duration support is not the same as “reduced duration “ isn’t it? It’s a less multiplier won’t give you 99% reduced as effective as “reduced duration”. That’s why people are investing either delve ring or passives for “reduced duration”.

vvurstdeffer7631: yeah i hope they make it rare not nuke it, its so fun

dantesama5986: Does it work with impending doom ?

gago12351: With ballista totem asenath is not working

PopersIRL: dreamcore i luv u but those 3 minutes of padding time killed me

TCBabcock: Too many hoops to jump through (like always)

XodiaqKey: Wait wait wait....

Okay, can someone check my math/understanding on this?

Let's say I get a total of 99% reduced skill effect duration through a combination of passive points, Timeclasp ring and Hextouch.

Then for spice, let's throw in an extra 10% less duration from the duration mastery.

My POB shows that my curse will last 0.099 second.

So if I just keep hitting a boss, as long as I'm not applying a curse quicker than 10 times per second, the curse will fall off, grant me the soul and repeat?

Veggie_PoE: A nice thing about going for extra reduced duration is it allows you to use lightning warp without needing the typical Less duration swift affliction links. Also that curse mastery with 'recover 1% of life when you curse' could be juicy.

Francorocco: btw you can use a reflected curse durtation ring and hextouch to get 99% reduce duration and link the hextouch to the movement skill

kavonstewart6834: Ok, I just tried this out utilizing manaforged on a 5 link bow: manaforged (1), tornadoshot (1), hextouch (1), temporal chains (1), less duration (1). It works. It isn't the optimal setup but it is cranking once up. Wonder when this will be nerfed... -.-
