Path of Exile Wailing Essence of Loathing FAQs

Which builds benefit most from crit modifiers?

Crit-based builds like Spark Inquisitor, Lightning Arrow Deadeye, and Blade Vortex Assassin rely heavily on crit chance scaling. This Essence guarantees a strong crit base for weapons and accessories.

Is mana reservation efficiency worth targeting?

Yes—especially for aura stackers. Reservation efficiency enables more auras with less mana investment. Use on helmets or body armours early in crafting before applying influence mods.

Should I corrupt this Essence or use it directly?

Use directly when targeting crit or reservation. Corrupting may yield Screaming-tier or unlock special Essences like Misery or Dread, but risks losing deterministic control.

Can this Essence be used in influence crafting?

Yes, but plan carefully. Essence modifiers override normal affix pools and may block influence-specific mods. Use early in the crafting process before applying influence.

Does ailment avoidance help in endgame?

Absolutely. Avoiding Freeze, Ignite, and Shock is critical in high-tier mapping and bossing. This Essence helps cap ailment immunity without relying on Purity of Elements.
