Playing PoE 3.27 While Asking AI for Help When Stuck (Using ChatGPT & Grok) — Day 1(Entries 1–3)

Entry 1

Situation: Feeling stuck farming currency.

AI (Grok) Response:
Bottleneck: Low DPS (~385k) severely limiting map clear speed.
Next Step: Buy a Judgement Staff with 600+ pDPS.
Gain: +100–150% DPS (expected 800k–1M).

Outcome:
Bought a 761 pDPS staff for 3 Divines, but DPS is still far below 1M.

What I learned:
Grok overestimated the expected DPS scaling from weapon upgrades.

Entry 2

Situation: Spent all currency on a new 761 pDPS staff, but DPS remains below 1M.

AI (Grok) Response:
Bottleneck: Chaos resistance at 52% causing survivability issues.
Next Step: Buy ilvl 86+ Ruby Ring with T1 Chaos Res (+35–40%), +70+ life, attack speed/phys dmg suffix.
Gain: Chaos res capped to ~82–85%, safer T16 farming.

Outcome:
The ring Grok described does not exist on the market; DPS is unchanged.

What I learned:
AI sometimes recommends items that are theoretically perfect but realistically unbuyable.

Entry 3

Situation: Still stuck after the ring search; staff upgrade didn’t help.

AI (Grok) Response:
Bottleneck: Suboptimal Cyclone 6-link (Shockwave + Pulverise stacking “less damage” multipliers).
Next Step: Swap Pulverise to Ruthless.
Gain: Predicted +40–50% DPS.

Outcome:
Swapping to Ruthless reduced my damage further.

What I learned:
Gem swaps suggested by AI can be misleading if it doesn’t fully simulate your build.
