“Part 3 of Path of Exile’s 3.23 Affliction series: Getting Started with Magic Find using Occultist Penance Brand”

Penance Brand MF build is top-notch in this league. T16 maps feel like a breeze with the right gear. The key to survival is in the details, like using Progenesis flask and Watcher's Eye. Oh, and don't bother with those voidborn keys, they're just a classic scam. Stick to the right strategy and you'll see the loot roll in! 🎮👾🔑

Introduction 🎮

Greetings Exiles! Let's take a look at what I found interesting over the past few days.

Divine altar at the beginning of the map... wow, although to be honest, whatever. Who can be surprised by that in this league when there's a lot of loot goblins like this? Crazy Scarab explosions, cool loot, and... a fishing rod? Wait a minute, that's a scam, trash t0 unique item. It could be Mage blood or Head Hunter. Unlucky, next time for sure.

How to Improve Magic Find Build 🛡️

As you may have noticed, I've switched to t16 maps, and therefore the answer to the frequently asked question: can this build do t-16 maps? Yes, although low t-16 maps are quite difficult. But if you choose the right maps and play carefully until you get a lot of buffs from a Head Hunter, you should not have any problems.

Let's improve this build to make farming easier and make high-level maps a more enjoyable experience for us. Progenesis is a very nice unique flask that greatly improves our defense and protects us from one-shots.

Unique Flask	Progenesis
Defense Boost	Significantly improved survivability
Protection	Guards against one-shots

Protecting Against Critical Damage 🛡️

One of the main dangers in this league is Primal whisps, which increase Critical Strike chance and critical multiplier for Monsters. 5,000 Primal whisps turn any monster on the map into a dangerous opponent. Let's make ourselves safe from critical damage.

First, let's take the Mastery. Next, I need a thread of Hope with a medium radius. Thanks to this unique Jewel, I get access to important passive nodes. Now we get 60% less damage from Critical Hits.

But I need 100% to completely ignore extra damage from critical strikes. To do that, I bought this Watcher's eye. But in order to activate its bonus, I need to change Grace to determination, for that I need a new small cluster like this one. Once again, ignoring the extra damage from a Critical Strike is a very important parameter in this league, and with it, you will greatly improve your survivability.

Boosting Armor 🛡️

Since we are now using determination, I will need a granite flask like this one. With it, I will have over 13,000 armor. And in general, these are quite humble numbers, but don't forget that more than 75% of physical damage we receive is Elemental damage. As a result, physical damage to us will be small, and even this amount of armor will be effective.

Granite Flask	Armor Boost
13,000 Armor	Significant improvement in physical damage resistance

Secret Streamer Trick 🌟

In my experience, we don't need a life flask with this gear. Because if we have a lot of Head Hunter Buffs, we never use it.

And if our character dies at some random one-shot where we don't even have time to react and use our flask, so this flask set seems to be the most optimal. Secondly, mid-combat flask management becomes a non-issue with the granite flask set up.

Let's now buy a jewel with corrupted blood immunity because without a life flask, it can be a problem for us. Well, we don't want any problems. This secret trick has helped me find an abundance of loot boxes and even resulted in significant improvements to my build.

Acknowledgements and Farewell 🎥

I hope my secret will help you. As for void War keys, I will open them at the end of the video, and we'll see what I can get.

Now that's a good Tink! I'm often asked which MF build I like the most, and now I can say with full confidence that in this league, this is the best MF build I've played. Thank you all for watching, commenting, and giving me advice.

Remember, never underestimate the importance of defense, it is what will help you in not dying on maps. Goodbye everyone, and see you in new videos.
