I fucked up remembering whether dextral or sinistral was prefix/suffix and ruined a craft I spent three divs on yesterday. With how expensive omens are I'm pretty sure I'd just be better off selling everything and buying the gear I need directly instead of trying to craft it, since both regular schmoes trying to craft an 80-90th percentile "pretty good" weapon are competing with mirror-tier hideout camping mirror-tier crafters throwing hundreds of divines at shit.

The one that's definitely worth using even as a casual is the homogenizing regal omen, that one's dirt cheap and lets you make some awesome gear for super cheap if you find a good magic base but I'm convinced homogenizing exalts is barely a return on investment, maybe for fubgoon meta bows it's worth but I was making scepters the other day and the only expected cost of homogenizing slamming to get +4 skills on a 78+ item with Regen+increased life was enough to just buy a finished scepter outright

people like it because it makes all the trash items they want cheap, and makes the damage caused by bots invisible to the average player. poe doesn't attract a lot of macro economists. not that it takes one to understand how fucked it is that the div:exalt ratio went down by 50% then up by 200% in under 48 hours on only week 2 of the league.

you have to know what to sell and how to acquire it for sale. i make about 20 divs passively a day selling high demand magic bases with t1 rolls.

at this point in the league, you will simply not find enough currency on the ground to outpace inflation. the good news is async has caused all but the highest tier items to be between 1 and 10 exalts and you can easily do all content on most builds just with those "decent" rares.

whenever im not blasting things with my one button build, i click parry for 0.01 seconds to instantly gain 20% movement speed, 100% evasion and 50% block. truly the greatest of combo gameplay depth right here
>>
>>538683387
so its 24 points each tree? it's extra? apart from the normal passive points?

Can any Witch Hunters give me some advice? I've been using a Cloak of Flame that's been corrupted to have 48% Physical Taken As Fire which has been working great, but I just found a Lightning Coil while mapping that has 40% on its Physical Taken As Lightning Roll. While wearing the Lightning Coil, my defenses go from 47% Armour and 61% Evasion to 55% and 64% respectively when compared to the Cloak of Flame. Does that jump in defenses + the extra Sorcery Ward strength from the Armour and Evasion justify using it over the Cloak of Flame's 48% corrupted roll?

>>538682990
your "weapon sets" are the two sets of weapons and shields on your character inventory sheet. you have 24 points that can be used in set 1 and set 2 to assign different passives for each weapon swap, for example maybe your weapon swap has a weapon better at delivering a huge shock to the enemy, so you path your "weapon set 2" tree to grab shock magnitude nodes instead of damage nodes. then in your skill menu you assign the shocking skill to weapon set 2 only, which means when you use that skill it will automatically and instantly switch to weapon set 2 and its shock tree.

I'm a poorfag and it's fine. I make 1-2 divs a day. It's a humble existence, a makeshift build cobbled together, one upgrade at a time. Suboptimal affixes and compromises, you make it work somehow. An exercise in zen and renunciation. I save for days and splurge on a half-decent amulet. I sit by the river and listen to the birds chirping. Someone just bought my old staff for pocket change. The sun will rise again tomorrow.

People sell carries for 30-40ex. Join /trade 820.
I dunno how it works tho, like if you buy an uber lab carry do you get both your 3rd and 4th for clicking the final shrine.
I assume it works like that because you can stack up Atlas skill point books like that, like if you do a higher tier required goal, it gives you the lower ones too.

if youre still taking damage from reflect with yugul and flask you must have some source of increased damage taken on you
do you have battlemage cry + vulnerability perhaps? or are you getting shocked?
the easiest way is to just overcap it like crazy, just spend a few points on a phys wheel and get the mastery on top of yugul + flask
btw the best way to get reflect reduction from flask is a bismuth flask (lasts the longest) with reduced charges used or increased duration prefix and reuse at end. shit lasts forever

compared to poe 1 it's pretty bad.
poe 1 you want to do a metacraft you farm kirac missions for a day or two to unlock all the crafts you want. then blast some maps for currency/div cards, maybe some tujen. few days and you have all your pre-bis or bis gear.
poe 2 has layers of rng gating you from everything you want to do.

Life is pretty good as an invoker. 10k+ evasion, 2k ES, a few stun threshold passives, ghost shroud + wind dancer on top of it all and you're nearly unkillable. I've never tried chayula but I've heard it was in a tougher spot overall

New player here. What is best for Lightning Arrow
>>
>>538688516
people act like 0.3 crafting with essences and omens is op for ssf but i feel like in reality you would end up with a mountain of useless shit and almost nothing that you actually want
and at the end of the day its still the game with "meaningful ground loot" which translates to ssf cancer
>>
>>538688839
with lightning arrow only 40% of physical damage is converted to lightning, so it's best to take phys damage overall
>>
>>538688839
The phys prefix is a local modifier, meaning it affects the base damage of your weapon, which in turn is further multiplied by stuff like gems, passives, buffs, etc. (you can tell a mod is local if it's actively changing the base stats at the top of the item.)
Whereas the ele damage mod is just a global mod that shares the same stack as any other %inc damage mods on the tree and elsewhere.
That mod CAN be competitive for actual hybrid phys mods assuming the value is over like 100%, but only if your weapon is already really good without it.
>>538688993
This is only true for the first projectile. The chaining beams are fully converted weapon damage.

I should probably grab some extra spirit and run wind dancer on top of ghost shroud. I feel reasonably tanky most of the time, I suspect the deaths are just par for playing melee in some of those big, dumb, laggy abyss pulls with the invisible ground aoe, exploding dudes and so on. I get the impression I should be leaning into life leach on chayula, but I feel so reliant on es that it is very rare I put myself into a situation when I'm taking actual health damage anyway, low es means it is time to kite away. I suppose if I want to keep doing my wonky ice strike stuff I would be better going invoker, and if I want to stay chayula I should just copy that flicker build or something. I'm quite bad at minmaxing my own builds and not playing invoker doesn't seem to give much leeway.

>>538682192
anyone who's ever played an mmo knew it would be better than the old trade site alt-tabbing garbage. needing people to leave maps and go through two load screens every time they sell a 1c unique was garbage. the old system also benefitted bots more than real players since bots are logged in 24/7 while real people sleep or log off.
the currency exchange in Settlers was an OVERWHELMING success too, there's no reason the same system for regular items wouldn't be good and work. It's so funny looking back at old threads where people were fearmongering it, despite EVERY hypothetical also applying to the currency exchange (literally the most expensive items in the game are on the fucking currency exchange, including mirrors, omens, and lineage supports)

I want to find that faggot who said it would ruin the game forever because muh bots would "buy everything" and laugh at him in person.
>>
>>538689813
I don't know how far tooltips go at calculating damage, but it's nice to keep an eye on it while swapping gear.
For instance if you're swapping bows, rings, gloves, stuff that has flat damage mods, and your tooltip goes from 10k to 15k, it's pretty safe to assume you're getting ~50% more damage.
This does not account for bows with +proj. So if you switch from a lower dps bow with +2 arrows, to a higher dps bow without those additional arrows, don't trust the tooltip going up means you get more damage. Learning to use PoB is helpful for stuff like this, but I understand new players don't like it.

I don't care about "muh friction", poe items have inherent value in their stats or item abilities or currency crafting function, artificial barriers to human beings trading (that DON'T impact bots, who are logged in 24/7 and not actually playing the game) is trash. Less friction for players compared to bots is good. Now I can throw up my failed crafts and go to sleep to log in and wake up to a pile of divines and exalts without needing to be logged in.
it also gives the league more longevity. a month from now you'll still be able to buy shit from people's shops even if they stopped playing.
Any argument against asynch trading also applies to the currency exchange. No, relying on chink bots to break a div into 150 ex every time you want to convert currency was not better than faustus/ange. Needing TFT trannies taking a fee to bulk buy bases was garbage.

Going to people's hideouts and browsing their NPC shop and seeing what other stuff they have for sale like oldschool mmos or checking out a yard sale is pure SOVL and even if poe2 dies in a year it'll have been worth it for this system to be backported to poe1

trade friction prevents rich players from selling shit items
you can log into poe1 right now and still sell random shit uniques you find in the campaign for 5-10c 3 months into the league because nobody but a broke nigger like you is going to spend a minute on a 10c sale
if you dont see the value of that i dont know what to tell you

i don't care if ben_ or fubgun is the one selling a 1c unique, I just want it for 1c. at the very high end party play blasters will still not bother manually listing every single random 1ex item because it's not worth their time, and "trade friction prevents rich players from selling shit items" just means the corollary is "YOU HAVE TO TRADE WITH BOTS INSTEAD OF REAL PLAYERS" because bots are logged in 24/7/365 and will always trade no matter how little profit.

The currency exchange is a good thing. Asynchronous trade is a good thing. You lost, cope seethe and dilate
>>
>niGGGers
>>
>>538690884
the bots literally did and are buying everything good, retard. list a bulk batch of some in-demand base and list a couple of them at inflated prices and see how fast a bot comes in and instantly buys all the correctly priced ones while magically identifying and skipping the "scam" prices on 30+ bulk bases in under 0.5 seconds. you just don't see the bots destroying the economy because it's hidden behind the scenes now. the only reason you're happy is because there are zero (0) challenging encounters in this game that require more than your mid 1 exalt trash rares, and you can dominate all content on an SSF deadeye or edc lich and all you need to do to never die is stack mid-tier ES rolls or put on wind dancer and ghost shroud.

>>
>>538693714
they buy these to bulk craft, not to resell. there's a very low threshold above the bottom of the market on relatively common normal bases where nobody will buy them at all, for instance you're never going to sell heavies for 35 exalts when the bottom of the market is 25-- unless of course it gradually increases due to inflation and yours sell as the inflation point passes your pricing while you're asleep, in which case you kick yourself when you wake up because had you waited you could have sold them for whatever the new inflated price is instead.

they would get old fast, there really arent that many good items to put on a merc. im also not fond of needing to spam vaal orbs on shitty uniques to get +1 curse on amuelt, curse on hit on gloves, aura effect on ring + belt and 2% life regen on helmet
aside from that they would also need a major rebalancing because some are extremely fucking good like the zealotry wrath (or bmc) shield merc that hits everything while others do almost nothing. the 2h str merc with endure for example doesnt even maintain endurance charges on you

For top top end items, most people save the desecration for last (unless blocking or homo fishing) because they can reroll with omen of light. In your case, desecrating now is fine because if you slammed 2x first you might have filled the suffixes which are more important anyway.

thinking about leveling a warbringer for some totem memes, what's the fastest build I can use to drag his ass through the campaign? not rich but I can spring for decent twink gear
>>
when the FUCK do you drop those 3 floor trial keys, I haven't got single one yet.
>>
>>538699379
Probably crossbow explosive shot with grenades
>>
>>538699379
>twink gear
Buy a bunch of strength gear and put corrupting cry II on enduring cry.
A crossbow is probably better though.

Are divs gonna stay at 130+ or are we seeing a correction tonight? don't want to grab more if they are gonna dump

>>538699823

>>
>>538699381
Level 60+ zones, 4 is 75+ I think.

ok I took anons advice and tried to get reduced slowing. with just 3 points in Unimpeded on the tree and the desecrated mod on boots chill only slows me by 1%
>>
>>538702037
desecrate + reroll + omen of light until you hit T1 flat es or %es, then homo perfect exalt to guarantee the es mod you didn't get

What Omens and base would be good for getting;
>Lightning Damage to Attacks
>Cold Damage to Attacks
>Fire Damage to Attacks
>To Crit Chance
>+4 Melee Skills
On a Spear.

I think I'm ready to drop my Unique spear now that I've gotten just about every Crit node near my starter. So I can move onto something better.
Is there a guide I can simply watch for crafting?

>>538702328
I got my third ascendancy trial in t2 maps
>>
Where are people finding these 700 billion dps weapons? Rares I pick up are like 120% added phys with flat damage but it's not even 1/5th of the dps of the shit I see on trade
>>
>>538702037
Yeah. You have no modifiers you could force with homogenizing.
>30 ms
It's not worth doing anything but slamming. May as well use omen of greater exaltation and a greater exalt, since they're so cheap
>>
>>538697321
plate belt why? that amount of armour is inconsequential
>>
>>538703047
u can deterministically craft pretty much w/e u want

I wish they'd just fucking release Templar already.

Knowing this Combo system they keep touting though...
>Dominating Blow requires Endurance Charges and Power Charges, only lasts 30 seconds
>Righteous Fire requires Power Charges and Frenzy Charges, will kill you no matter what unless you use X Attack to use it's power in a tiny area with a huge and slow wind up worse than anything Mace can do
>>
>>538702797
All of the crit and flat ele mods share the attack tag with a pool of other junk, so abyss/omen crafting isn't very helpful for targeting those. You could start with a T1 ele fracture and chaos spam for the 2nd T1, then suffix slam+suffix crystal to get the +gem level, but anything past that is going to get really expensive with rerolls/whittles

Glory is a fucking gay ass MMO mechanic
Why is Warrior not allowed to have anything good?

Crazy that my lightning arrow is at 150k dps after tailwind now and it's still falling behind in simulacrum t3. I think I think I need to squeeze in COC comet somehow

>>538703337
>templar
not anytime soon. druid is in the pipeline and johnny boy wants a sword class for release.

>see guy on twitch claiming to be the best warrior and most overpowered
>gameplay is slower than my undergeared Grenadier
>also incredibly clunky
>he presses stampede and barely manages to kill most things on his screen, one or two are out of range
>chat is screaming about how insane that is
>he shows off his viper cap that lets him go that fast
>"fast"
These people must only play Warrior and nothing else. There is no other explanation for this.
>>
>>538702797
The cheap version:
Start with a T1 flat ele fracture, annul to 2 mod
Chaos spam until 2nd good flat ele mod
Suffix exalt, suffix crystal omen with a perfect essence to finish prefixes with +% damage as whatever element you want
Basic exalt, then suffix crystal omen for +skill level
Then desecrate with Kurgal omen to get crit chance for targets 6m away (if that's acceptable for your build)
Final slam and hope you hit crit multi

>>538703337
>tons of thematic shield skills - they all suck
>an ascendancy that focuses on spells, but don't introduce any new ones; all the flail skills are attacks :^)
>Forget to introduce new minions, causing your holy man's minion builds to focus on skeletons and woodland critters
>>
>>538704086
Yeah melee is fucked right now, the armor 'buff' doing jack shit doesnt help either.

Which is a shame, because it *should* be cool and fun but its mediocre at best

Lightning Rods should require 5 glory each to place down. Glory is earned by being in the presence of a unique or rare monster, 1 glory every 2 seconds. Or 1 glory for every enemy shocked, limited to one every 6 seconds.

>>538704250
Armor is good.
Unscalable "+attack time" on maces sucks.
>>
DIS

IS NOT DE WAY

Exalt slamming isn't deterministic crafting btw.
>>
>>538704903
good thing u can right click on an omen and an essence to select whatever u want
>>
>>538704250
Armor is overtuned with how broken it is

RIP my second character on HC, trying the "forsen" challenge without logouts/pauses and panicked with the spears.
