I love Path of Exile!
LESS THAN 5 DAYS TO GO HYYYPE
It's her league.
>Mamba unnerfed for poisonFYI if you've never played Mamba it is literally one of the best skills in the game. Go Pathfinder for prolif (fuck Trickster) and eventually end up with an immortal 10,000 HP/second perma life flask uptime God character that can sit in Sirus storms and hit dot cap on ubers. Once you get progenesis with all of your flask effect you basically cannot die.Seriously. I played it in Settlers and it is fucking retarded. You get two of the daggers where all damage can poison, craft hits cannot be evaded, get the blind-crit keystone, and stack as many low tolerances as possible. It starts strong and becomes OP. It is incredible for doing simulacrums, ultimatum, expedition, or anything that prolif is good on.
>feeling a little nervous that some streamers are talking about builds similar to my starter>ziz does an interview>every single streamer pivots to elemental hitthank you ziz
So reliquarian.Are we back?
I for one am looking forward to exalt slamming while leveling. It's one of the few good lessons they learned from 2. Exalt slams are fun.
>>559023880You could probably get easy 100% chance to avoid elemental ailments with Kiloava's Bluster. There's like 70% on the tree and it rolls on eater/exarch boots too.
>>559024109If I hadn't played Mamba twice already I would be league starting it. So many retards won't even read the updated patch notes to see it was unnerfed.
>>559024109dual wield sucks thoughI'd rather go CI trickster with bino's and aurora
The most popular way to play conversion Ele Hit right now is with Avatar of Fire which is just 50% of cold and lightning to fire with Combat Focus. That is currently at 40m DPS with middling gear and Paradoxica. 100% fire and cold conversion would be 70m easily lmao
>>559024212Kiloava's bluster was fun for Gambler in Phrecia.
>>559024218Dual Wield is what allows you to hit dot cap on ubers. If you don't care about that you can get a shield, but with PF you become extremely tanky with a basic flask set up and when you get progenesis + perma life flask I don't know what can actually kill you. I was tanking uber shaper slams while sitting in beams and on cold dots. I could just run into exarch balls as much as I wanted.
>>559024221I am hoping it gets nerfed, but it won't. The problem is I don't wanna play ele hit but I want a fucking paradoxica and they will be like 20d for a decent one if everyone and their mom is playing this skill.
>>559024420My goal was to farm that flask for a build this league. How was it unnerfed?
POOP
>>559024608They updated the patch notes and basically made it so Mamba is not a good attacking skill anymore but is the same for poison. The issue is mamba just randomly had dumb damage effectiveness + attack speed so was a generically good way to deliver damage. These changes lower ability to use it as an attack but reverted all the nerfs to poison including low tolerance.Mamba is genuinely fucking incredible as a poison skill since it is the opposite of all poisons. 0 ramp time. One hit and you're doing max poison damage.
i already played ele hit conversion back in incursion so basically im the greater meta pioneer in /poeg/
this is my ascendancy
>>559024810>reverted all the nerfs to poison including low tolerance.Oh nice I didnt see that. Cool.
not gonna play elehitstaying true to cyclone slayer
should I play retaliate glad again
>>559024931your ascendancy doesnt seem very good
>>559024931>2 asspoint for 40% resistances
>>559024109I have never played Mamba. Can I start with it in 3.28?
hard
>>559024109
ITS UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKeteLwVouAITS UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKeteLwVouAITS UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKeteLwVouA
>>559025308based strikeGOD
>>559025308Ummmmmmmm mambasissies? explain?
>>559025334H A R D
why do people even need starter guides lmao
>>559024109um
>>559025442Cause if they don't have them they'll do this >>559024931
>>559025334thats a tranny right
why is chaos dot so SHIT
>>559025208Yes, the only nerf it now has overall is it attacks slower. Kind of annoying, but you can only poison them once anyways.People debate trickster vs pathfinder. I think PF is better personally, but as a league starter it definitely is because you get prolif from your ascendancy and don't need a t0 unique that everyone wants to buy to dust. Use the amulet that gives you a ton of crit but makes your crits do no extra damage (it still works for perfect agony).>>559025427my nigga doesn't have crit cap... many such cases!
>>559025308Is this mamba?
>>559025573TR is good and comfy tho
Ele hit bow is gonna be Fubs starter and absolutely S++++++++ tier build
>>559025594You have a POB I can look at?
>>559025550OK I kek'dgottem
>take reliquarian's maata node>equip crit dagger and ancient skull>minions are now crit cappedthis seems kinda good
>>559025650>poisonthat's NOT chaos dotRETARD
>>559025842retard............................. how is TR poison
>>559025642yes
>>559025869you are so FUCKING stupid
>>559025956retard
>>559024109yea.CI mana mamba is probably bricked due to ES nerf but you can play a life build with pneumos and abusing progen and petrified blood.Or trickster with fb embalmers (fuck binos)
>>559025987don't sign your posts like that bucko
>>559026015>fb embalmersthat got removed, the prolif fb version
>was originally planning a mamba pathfinder for 3.28>mamba was gutted so I switched and spent the last 2 days planning a fulcrum elementalist>now mamba poison nerfs are reverted and my original plan should work just fineaaaaaa I don't know what to playIs mamba pathfinder any good at leaguestarting anyways?
>>559026113rip in piss guess its pf or nothin.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah I might actually play bleed boneshatter glad>>559026165mamba is a really hard leaguestart until you get low tolerances>>559026187binos is not that bad now that the prolif is doubled but you still use a shit dagger compared to double pneumos
foulborn is what they call the gunk that solidifies around the office tub overnight
>falling for mamba shillscouldn't be me
>>559025725https://pobb.in/BdJnaPGCmXR3This is my level 100 character from the settlers relaunch. Some shit is not gonna work the same cause of changes and I didn't go through and config everything. However, the concept is the same:Low tolerance stacking, flask effect, progenesis, etc.
mamba is shit and youll never get max crit anyhow
>>559026165No, you go to 2stone with pcob and then swap your build and delete maven and uber elder.
>>559026339Um bro, your second sight?
>fusillade totems are S++++++++++ tier build according to /poeg/ and ecelebs>struggles to kill oak even with good starter gearhmmmmmmmmmmm nyo i think i shan't be playing this bait
>>559026339The secret tech on crit mambo is the hands crit independently but still combine damage once, so it's functionally lucky stacking with lucky.
>4th league in a row that GGG hasn't even touched my ultra tanky 100m+ dps build that costs less than 5 div and can do all contentFeels good to play off-meta builds mayne
>open up pob>cpu usage goes to 100%hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>559026708It takes 235MB of RAM and 1% CPU usage for me.
>>559026584Untick molten shell lil bro
>>559026708Should upgrade your Pentium 3 bro....
>>559026547>the hands crit independentlythis means nothing to me >>559026512i only have one pair of eyes bud
>>559026516you don't switch at oak retard
>>559026516here comes the real blackpillthat IS an S+ starter nowadaysits that bad, thats how nerfed the players are
>>559024109mamba is a giga bait build that doesnt deal damage witrhout proliferating entire screen into a singular mob
>>559027068skill is bait then>no bwo you just need 50d and then it does damage bwo trust me bwohmmmm nyo
>>559026945>he thinks the build even has molten shell
TOXIC RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
>>559026934you are lying. pob unironically is as resources heavy as poe these days
this is like the first league in few leagues when im actually excited to plan out different builds to start with
>>559026516Idk totems but you dont swap to fusillade until like 34 and you pathed to duration.I played fusillade to 100 in phrecia on daughter and it topped out at 100m pob dps once I had mageblood and endless munitions forbiddens. Crazy good skill.
the fact that kinetic blast and kinetic fussilade didnt get nerfed when they are OP as fuck im talking 10s to 100s of times more powerful than slams and slams got nerfed to fuck confuses me GGG nerf both of them before league start
>>559027221NOOO I HAVE TO PLAY IT NOW TAAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>559026516idk why anyone would play totems in a mapping league
>>559027291Those skills are only good once you have investment into the buildSlams did T17s with pieces of shit you picked up from the ground
>>559027354https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhTLDV9qPZ4 dose
>>559027187no you need a 1c wand and enough points to get the reduced duration nodes retard
>>559027221unironically the voidstorm exceptional gem looks bussin for it
>>559027482have that, retardstill zdps
>>559027423pic unrelated
>>559027482not gonna have that 1c wand with the tree nerfs, sissyboi ;)you have been #tubbed
>>559027556then you're retarded
>>559027438no they didnt stop talking shit
picture this for a second fellas. you have megablood equipped already, you then click on an accel shrine. You now have megablood flasks going + a free accel shrine.All the new belt does it add shrinemaxing to boss encounters but mb was already good enough to let you faceroll that content anyway. Maybe covetous could appear on the belt since that 1 is a little more op/rare but that isn't power creep its quantity creep.
>>559027479thanks I needed that
so can you quadruple your armor by wearing a dome while having this picked?
>>559027291not our fault if you're picking the most cucked and retarded archetype to ever existinstead of being a fomo retard asking everyone to be nerfed to your level you could ask GGG to buff your shit skills, but you instead want everyone else to have cacti shoved up their anuses because thats what you likekill yourself as of right now, absolute retard: your existence is a detriment to the game, to your family and to this fucking planet
>>559027817no thats probably a boolean like double damage
>>559027817weirdly enough yes, I don't know why double isn't a binary state like double damage is.
>>559027771There are no shrines in delve, pedo-kun
>>559027908>>559027969getting mixed signals here..
>>559027817>>559027908>>559027969brass dome doesn't have double armor desu
>>559028070other anon would be right but it is in fact a case of inconsistent wording
What the fuck am I playing???
>>559027771>you have megablood equipped alreadynobody does this
>>559027836you cant ask shit to be buffed its an integer issue with the game i will love myself and think of your mother whilst i fuck your sister
minor scion, think about it
>>559027771where does the shrine spawn in the maven's crucible?
>>559028172Isn't this busted for trauma stacking?Combine with terminus node for trauma flicker
>burden of shadows reliquarian>5% of maximum life as added chaos to spellsSo even with 10k life you only get 500 flag chaos damage? Seems kinda shitty
>ring unleash mirage essence>reflect the ring for +3 maximum seals x2>oshabi ascendancy for +3 maximum seals and 5% more damage per seal>you have 10 maximum sealswhat kind of skill would be the absolute sickest for giga world destroyer unleash?
Didn't watch zizzy's interview. Anything interesting from there?
>>559028434nah man, nothing was said
>>559028434ele hit is incredibly broken and will be nerfed next league so play it while you can
>>559028416Arc :^)
>>559025761is this dot cap?
>>559028489>ele hit is incredibly brokenqrd?
>>559028374>>559028170>>559028172weird case of everyone is right but nothing is relevant. Double effects would happen twice to quadruple armor but there is currently no way to get two double armour effects, Brass Dome doesn't have the effect on the item
>>559028538new breach bloodline interacts with it in a way they didn't intend but it's too late to fix it so have fun
>>559028434Not gonna bother formatting this too much, sorry>master missions in general don't show up in mirages>16.5 maps can't be fully miraged maps>t17 can be fully miraged>there is a wish that spawns a random feared boss in the map, and it can drop the boss uniques (non-uber)>the shrine belt will probably be very rare for giga specific combinations>astrolabes are 100% drop from memory bosses, but they become map boss drops when you progress enough>Octavian: I don't like the place Sanctum is right now where most people think of it as not worth running>1 shaped region per quadrant btw>gilded fossils stelath buffed so they don't give exalts when you vendor the item but something else (div?)
>>559028416You already knowhttps://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Blade_Vortex
>>559028215>you cant ask shit to be buffedas I said you are a fucking cuckinstead of telling the devs to fix their shit you want everyone to have a worse time with the game> i will love myself better learn to because nobody else will, as everyone hates cucks
>>559028416Voltaxic Burst :^)
>>559028626what is the intended way and how it works now
>>559028660>Octavian: I don't like the place Sanctum is right now where most people think of it as not worth runningit should stay that way desuSanctum is a big shit poop2 mechanic
>>559028626>but it's too late to fix itI trust in them, they will squeeze it in
Is there a way to make volatile dead work against bosses in poe 2? Is there a way I can get a constant source of corpses to use when a boss doesn't spawn any adds?
>>559028626>it's too late to fix itKEKW"we cant simply change numeric values on something we didnt even release yet"two ways about this: either its overhyped garbage already or it will get shadownerfed and retards will find out 3 days after leaguestart
>>559028672bv is boring as fuck though
>>559028691>as I said you are a fucking cuck>instead of telling the devs to fix their shit you want everyone to have a worse time with the gameno you dumb fuck, ggg nerfs builds each league due to bosses having a integer cap on their hp, also sperging on 4chan sperging saying no one else will love me shows to a lot of anons that you will most likely be in that position all that was said was for a OP spell to be nerfed lmfao
quick question, if I have infused toxins allocated as assassin does this also count as 100% poison chance, or do I still need to acquire poison chance on top of all damage being allowed to poison
>>559028897I dunno how this fact consistently eludes the POE community, but there's a gigantic gap in how much you give a fuck about balance and how much devs give a fuck about balance.
>>559028963nope, you need chance to poison
>>559028660>I don't like the place Sanctum is right nowneither do I, it should be deleted already, even if it dropped 40 divs and 10 mirrors every first floor (incrementative per floor) it would still be remove tier
>>559028963It does not count as 100% poison chance.The similar mod found on eater boots (Inextricable Fate) does count as 100% poison chance.
im going to log into my ele hit slayer which does 3x damage for some reasonim going to kill a rare monster with the currency conversion modits going to explode into 100 divine orbs of kalandra and i am going to literally onions face at my monitorthen im going into The Mirage™ and doing it againthen im opening my astrolabe reward room and getting a free mageblood
>>559028660>Octavian: I don't like the place Sanctum is right now where most people think of it as not worth runningA smart person would realize that the Sanctum gameplay is simply too divorced from the regular Path of Exile and that vast majority of players will simply never want to interact with it any more than they wanted to interact with Heist which penalized you for killing enemies.A GGG dev will attempt to "solve" this "problem" by reverting then nerfs to how many divines that piece of shit mechanic can print
>Energy Blade: Quality now provides Buff grants 0-10% increased Attack Speed (replacing Buff grants 0-5% more Maximum Energy Shield).yo ggg janny, do something giga based for once and make the energy blade buff grant 0-10% MORE attack speed on quality. attack based energy shield would be pretty fun.
>>559028963No. Normally only physical or chaos damage can poison. This allows all damage the possibility of poisoning, but you need 100% poison chance. People normally just use the heist dagger with the same effect.
nerf kinetic bolt and kinetic fusillade GGG
>>559029236Z
>>559029236>im going to log into my ele hit slayer which does 3x damage for some reason>im going to kill a rare monsterwrong, you're gonna die because you have 3700 life and 10 chaos res.
currently playing D3 while waiting for league start
>>559028870>>559028897>>559029049They mentioned that they'd have to redesign how the damage is applied in order to fix it, which is more work than just hitting it with the classic numerical nerf
>reddit is literally all just "haha im playing ele hit"
>>559028626>If Intelligence is your single highest Attribute, all added Damage is treated as added Lighting Damage>If Dexterity is your single highest Attribute, all added Damage is treated as added Cold DamageAre you saying even though ele hit only chooses one of the elements each attack, the other two unchosen elements will be converted into added cold/lightning damage because of the bloodline ascendancy?
>Viper Strike of the Mamba now has 30% less Attack Speed while Dual Wielding and 20% less Damage with Hits while Dual Wielding (matching regular Viper Strike). This modifier now explicitly states that it only applies to Damage with Hits rather than being ambiguous.>Viper Strike of the Mamba now also has Cannot inflict multiple Poisons in the same Hit, as additional ways to apply multiple Poisons in a single Hit would otherwise have to be significantly weakened for the sake of this Skill. This does not affect the Skill's normal Dual Wielding behaviour, as it causes a single Hit (and therefore applies a single Poison) based on the combined Damage of both weapons.MAMBAGODS WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
>>559029278I actually really like sanctum in both games and i league started sanctum ever since they brought it back in affliction i think it was until they gutted the rewardsIssue with sanctum is front loaded rewards that just become less and less worth running as league goes on
>>559028948nigga nobody believes that. they nerf builds because they are retarded control freaks. if you find an interaction they dont like they nerf it because they feel that regular players having fun with the game means they have lost the battle> OP spellyou keep descending to deeper levels of cuckery. "nooooooo something cant be strong unless you drop insert random number of divines on it! too OP plz nerf!"rmtfags make bank out of this garbage.
>>559029278>A smart person would realize that the Sanctum gameplay is simply too divorced from the regular Path of ExileThere's no issue with gameplay being diverse, the issue only arises when players are forced into unorthodox content.I almost never do sanctum but I think it's a valuable addition to the game, because there are people who like it.>A GGG dev will attempt to "solve" this "problem" by reverting then nerfs to how many divines that piece of shit mechanic can printThey want a solution where it yields exclusive loot as opposed to just printing currency.
>>559029405you need two combat focus jewels, but yeah
>>559029374>The Combat Focus jewels now all have an additional modifier: "Your Prismatic skills do 40% less damage"As shrimple as that
I have it on good authority that kinetic fusilade totem champ is going to be THE starter for the next league. Immune to nerfs, immune to enemies, one billion dps on ubers with 10c worth of items, you better start that.
>>559029374what are the mechanics behind this unintended interaction?
>>559029501>nigga nobody believes that.
I've played a totem build exactly ONCE, never again. They are not worth the headache of relying on some stupid little stick to instantly dies in any relevant content.
Where are the new support gems
>>559029049> how much devs give a fuck about balanceI would agree: it bothers me but I can just not play the game, meanwhile they get eternally assblasted every time someone reaches endgame without going through the humiliation ritual of "buy overpriced items from retards" and it shows every time
>>559024109I kinda wanna league start it since I never played it before and prolif seems fun How is it at low investment? Like 1-10 div
>>559029669for me it was pyre vortex totems in essence league
idgaf what that faggot fubgun says im farming blight and breach YOU WILL buy my belts and foulbourn uniques
soft
>>559029619the base skill gives you +X added damage of each elemental type, and then chooses one damage type while turning off the ability to do damage with the other types.the new bloodline ascendancy converts all sources of "added" damage to a single element (cold or lightning). this means the 2 "wrong" damage types are converted to the right one. so you just have to use the jewels to make sure the gem chooses the right damage type every time, and you're enjoying 2 extra lines of added damage that you were never meant to have.
>>559029848i need a mod to make witch like this
Im unironically gonna follow snoos build this leagueI missed bows and i dont trust fubgun RMT builds . Snoo is old trusty. He never stopped playing bows.
>>559029797anon...what possesed you into doing such an atrocity to yourself? even back then when totems were bearable to play with vortex totems is "I want to kill myself" tier
>>559029878HARD.
>>559029519What's the best ascendancy to abuse this?
>>559029878It's true though.
>>559029797I did Divine Ire Inquis in post-Legion league with the self-curse chest
>>559029519>you need two combat focus jewels, but yeahAre those jewels hard to get?Thanks in advance for spoonfeeding me, I'm a bit 'tarded
ele hit worked the same way on the original combat focus rework and it was insanely kino but it dont think it ever got super popular before they nerfed the jewelsyou should play it it's fun, don't play some paradoxica melee garbo abuse the dps with chaining ranged attacks
>>559028917going directly to 10 blades with one cast should make it a lot more palatable >>559028963It says all damage "can" poison, not all damage poisons. You still need chance to poison>>559029507It does, the most exclusive loot of all. Original sin is the most valuable unique in the game
>>559030020It's basically just normal Ele Hit with a single bloodline node. Probably Slayer I guess.
>>559030104no, they're vendor recipes now. you can get them deterministically, so they will be a big source of income to fleece from fubcel retards who buy everything off trade that's 1:1 with their daddy's spec
>>559029884hmm is this ele hit exclusive? if this would work with prismatic burst then i believe that one has higher potential
>>559029878when the talkative jew says "this is going to be good" I already know its going to be kalandra tier garbage. in 2 weeks he'll be like "welp that was bad good luck we have poe2!" kill gggfags. throw them into a woodchipper. you know the drill.
>>559030208Thank you anon, your help is appreciated
>>559030234>cooldown
>>559030234Ele hit and ele hit of the spectrum.Prismatic burst does not "add" damage, the line says "deals" so it doesn't work.It also doesn't work on "adds" lines on weapons btw, those are local but mislabeled.
>>559029669Shockwave Totems with Astral Projector was the most fun I've had with totems, those fuckers would target things 2 screens away. But the damage never kept up with the statcreep
Imagine ele hit stays like this until 3.28 and becomes nerfed during week 1 of the league.
>>559030208>>559030104wasnt some anon laughing last league about making money off shitters selling combat focus jewels? i know what to do early on lmao
stinky
Every build thats "meta" league starter is a glass cannon why pretend otherwise?
>>559029357How is it these days?>It's the exact same as those days
do the new dextral, sinstral catalysts work with generalized unique effects, such as Darkness Enthroned?
>>559029954I wish I could remember what I was thinking >>559030070ouch
>>559030434I'll add "shadownerfed 10 mins before release and people only find out after checking poedb"
>>559029669yup, I played the poeguy build once, it was fun to learn the game and all, but it's gimmicky and you die a lot playing it
why didn't Ziz ask them about putting Vortex on left click again?
>>559030924>why didnt hype mouthpiece go off script idunno
Having the Feared in your map with the ability to drop its uniques in a mirage is kino
Sanctum is extremely gay because it caters to one specific playstyle (zhp offscreening/minions) while punishing everyone else (especially melee)Resolve/Honor is a bald fucking mechanic that has no place in an ARPG
GGG telling everyone to play ele hit is effectively telling poe1 players to play poe2
>every shotgunning proj spell gets +4 proj for FREE>/poeg/ retards still say Reliquarian is shit
>>559030690Uniques don't have prefixes or suffixes
>>559031059Being filtered by sekhema after this many nerfs is really pathetic anon.
>>559031190Johnatroon you are a NIGGER, end of STORY
>>559031190Yeah you don't play the game
>>559030603unironically yea, it is the same as beforefun for a few days then falls off. perfect for this wait
>>559030690wow cute boy, what does that have to do with poo?
>>559031059It is fine in PoE2. In actuality, once you get honor resist in PoE2 it basically no longer matters. Even on melee characters. EVEN ON MY THORNS CHARACTER THAT LITERALLY HAD TO GET HIT TO DO DAMAGE and it was a non-issue and I even would purposefully run into the bosses big aoe circle laser thing to just kill him.PoE1's is fucking awful. Sanctum probably needs to just be removed.
Jonathan attempting to get high Izzat through adding cancer niggerbabble garbage like Trial of the Izzathmas
>>559031059most minions suck balls at sanctum because they're basically selfcast spells with extra steps and their mobility/clearspeed isnt exactly great
>>559031287>once you remove the mechanic the mechanic is fine
Jonathan's Izzat is in shambles after the mirage reveal. How are can we recover, bros?
>>559031454imagine how shit the mechanic is
>sekhema
>>559031454...What? That is like whining about having to cap your fire resistance. The level 1 trial isn't even built around having any resistance, it is doable if you have just a little bit of armor or evasion.
shant be playing 3.28 slopwaiting for more 0.5 kino news
>>559031249I play both games extensively. Sekhema is piss easy now.I know you have trauma from 0.1 but it's really fucking easy no, there are no more bugged traps, bosses have half life, and the game has been powercrept.
>Honor is fine because they nerfed it to the point where it virtually doesn't matter anymoreSo why have it at all in the first place?
>shant be playing 3.28 slop>waiting for more 0.5 kino news

what is the fubgun build and atlasi only play builds approved by god emperor fubbers
>>559031713to filter shitters, which it's somehow still doing in 2026, which is fucking crazy.
>>559031713Why have elemental resistances?
>>559031589You say honor is fine as long as you completely nullify it. That means it's a shit mechanic, dude.
>>559031780Elemental resistances aren't relevant in exclusively one area of the game.
>>559031606listen here negronobody is talking about poe2 garbagein fact, I'm going to give you one single point and say: good, I hope you enjoy the mechanic in poe2, in 1 it should just be deleted and be done with

>>559031897*filtered shitter noises*
I can't believe people are being baited into playing ele hit AGAIN after the phrecia debacle. And this time they need to beat a pinnacle-tier boss to enable their build
one worry i have about mirage is the inflation of all league mechanics and what they sell, since everything is getting doubled for each persons league mechanic that would mean lower prices for each league mechanic alongside their tinks
poo1babs are so shit at poe that they can't play 2 and when they play 1 they NEED to follow rue's or fub's build like the sheep they are
resolve defenders ITT better not cry bitch tears when TOTA is added to poe2
>>559031834No? It is a choice.You can put in relics that are defensive and help to cap your honor resist, give you more honor, make enemies deal less damage, heal more honor, etc. If you're really good or can one shot everything you opt to put in ones that increase movement speed or rewards or more merchant items.It is totally viable for them to make you decide between defensive and offensive/speed set ups for the trial. Most players should just go with defensive as they just wanna clear it, but farmers go for max speed because they don't really need much resistance.It's basically like building a character. You can opt for more defense, more speed, more damage, or a combine them to make something more well rounded.
>>559031991kill yourself, subhuman scum. we know you like to bathe in shit, but for the rest of the planet, its disgusting. if only poo2 "design" could be contained into its retarded game

>poo1babs are so shit at poe that they can't play 2 and when they play 1 they NEED to follow rue's or fub's build like the sheep they are
I feel like I'm the only person in this general who is competent enough at PoE1 and 2 to just make my own builds. Not like I am saying I am taking flame dash totems to ubers, but man... do you really need more than to check out PoE ninja for a few minutes to combine a few ideas and put your own twist on it? Do you really need a fucking video essay explaining to you "HURR DURR PICK SLAYER. STACK FRENZY CHARGES. CAP SUPPRESS. RIGHT CLICK BAD GUYS"
>>559032207Melee characters don't have a choice, they have to build into resist because their playstyle requires trading hits with enemies. Shit system.

>>559032559Yeah, Jonathan seems pretty upset Guy should be working, not posting here.
>>559032632youre so angry nobody gives a fuck about a game with one melee weaponif youre working so hard maybe add swords and duelist xDDDD
>>559032597uh huh, it's okay sissy poo1shitter, we all know you're a sheep who can't think for himself and need to copy rue or fubby
>>559032436Ok now do it on the mode that actually tests your buildmaking (hardcore) instead of letting you bruteforce problems with brainless grinding.
reminder that sanctum hate comes from almost exclusively groupniggers spreading anti solochad propaganda
>>559032696what are you on about, rajbinderjeet?
>>559032436OK, anonyou get a few points for trying if you wish, but to be fair, I dont give a shit if my build is "original" or "meta" or whatever: I just want something strong that isnt literal ass to play and I legit have better things to do than try to reinvent the wheel. if you find joy on that I'm not knocking you down but I just want to kill mobs and get loot
>>559032840this, and the fact snap's lackeys are actually running damage control here is so pathetic
>>559032868maybe d4 is a game for you then :)
>>559032868This is why I emphasized I'm not doing insane shit. Build making in PoE is more like putting together a few different lego sets into a diorama. It is not creating something from raw lego bricks. You just combine a few defensive layers and then a way of offensive scaling and you generally are fine.You do you, and if you're new that is one thing. I am referring to people, even streamers, who have 5k+ hours and still just copy a build guide point for point including mistakes or suboptimal shit because they never look at the PoB.
my IZZAT is maintained by my IZZAT in the trial of the suckymas
>>559032840I don't like sanctum because there's like 4 mobs in itI want to blast a map of mooks, not sit around a corner while my mines kill the 3 guys in the room
>you get twice the crops in harvest from mirageim farming literally
>>559032840I play solo and I wouldnt touch sanctum with a tentpoleits completely meaningless for anything that isnt trying to get osin.
>>559032840Nah, it is definitely a shitty mechanic that no one really enjoys except for when it shits out a ton of divs. You basically have to bribe players to do it. The Trial in PoE2 feels more organically connected to the game. Probably unfairly since it is where you traditionally do your first ascendancy, but I dunno man, PoE1's sanctum is some weird shit in a corner you gotta talk to a lady to access. 99% of the time I never even unlock the teleport there.
>EU hours >build ideas, funposting, people posting pobs>NA hours>thread turns to dogshit and constant shitflingingcrazy how bad murricans are at poe1
Does boneshatter work on enemies without bones?
would their still be profit in selling shovels aka 8mod maps without assfucking negatives?>cannot regen life, mana, es>reflect>additional proj>max negative res
I'm gonna copy paste a build this time, I think.
>>559032436Yeah video guides are cringe, but Poo1 builds are so precarious with the mechanics you have to minmax and thresholds you have to meet to be effective that it's no wonder people don't come up with their own builds.
>>559033246>boneshatter doesn't do double damage against skeletonsSHIT game
>>559033246You hand your enemy a tiny bone and then you shatter it
I like PoE1 and I like PoE2.I think PoE1 is better right now but the future of PoE2 looks good. I think separating the teams will be good for both games and I hope they can take PoE2 in an even further direction away from how PoE1 is. Let them be separate games, I would prefer that.
>>559033246boneshatter shatters YOUR bones because you hit yourself with it
>>559032106Master Missions don't get Miraged so anyone farming safehouses, veiled fractures, itemized temples, beasts, Delve, etc. are unaffected
>>559023880love poeg anons!!!
>>559033073fair pointbut also tbdesu I really dont care that much about other people doing unoptimal shit. It would bother me to find that I was doing it too but that would be on me being retarded
>>559032436I want to see how a build actually plays in a map before committing to it, r*tard>>559033314Yeah, they should go back to their original 0.1 vision of PoE2 instead of their current PoE 1.5 trajectory
I'm not playing strikes, fuck thatWell, maybe as a second build
Mamba unnerfed
>>559033379love you too fren
>>559033368i would do delve but my build is squishy
>>559033423They should revert 0.2 nerfs and bring mana, jewel and attribute stacking back. Otherwise current direction is ok.
>>559033246>bear trap>also works on insect-type mobs
>>559033314> I think separating the teams will be good for both games and I hope they can take PoE2 in an even further direction away from how PoE1 is. Let them be separate games, I would prefer that.anon, I wish that was true too, but lets be honest with ourselves: ggg doesnt want that: they want to get rid of 1 because they think 2 can replace it.thats the real problem with poe2. if they truly managed to keep all the garbage there I would even support poe2's existance (not economically) but I know they dont extend that same good faith to me.
Strikes suck, is dumb0's proposed build a bait? seems like the scion shit is actually pretty good for it with a free astral projector
>>559033435Dual Strike of Ambidexterity is actually goated. Wasn't touched by the patch, and as long as you play it as a red life build without being an ephemeral nigger, you should be good. I did it in mercs with armor, Fortify, endurance charges, and petrified blood and that shit could tank die beams fairly reliably.
>>559033586current direction is just turning the game into PoE1 thoughbeithaps

best league starter for a cl*nker?
>>559033205>Nah, it is definitely a shitty mechanic that no one really enjoys except for when it shits out a ton of divs. You basically have to bribe players to do it.this is true for every single farming strat in the game. people will always, without fail, gravitate to things that actually give them shit for their time and ignore things that are just not worth their time and sanctum is no different in this regard. however the major difference is that sanctum is primarily a solo thing and when its good it cuts in groupnigger pockets HARD. its in groupnigger best interest that sanctum remains irrelevant, even more so since it makes it easier to corner terror/osin prices.
Okay guys I can't decide what build to play, which of these seems like it'll have the cheapest gear and easiest start>bleed eviscerate glad retaliation skills with 99% blockhavent played it before but nothing was nerfed in patch notes, this is my boring GGG-approved-safe build fallback option>mamba/venom gyre poison assassinoriginally I wanted to play nightgrip ward stacker cobra lash, but the follow-through nerf fucking annihilated that making the build lose like 800% increased damage. I still want to try a ward stacker but without cobra lash these look like the next best options. maybe all damage poisons elemental hit or something idk. >herald of agony champion+lycia profane ground) this build looks really fun and I actually think a Spiritual Aid version where you go poison holy strikes+spiritual aid could be decent depending on what the numbers are, you already wear triad grip to chaos minion damage as well. if holy strikes ends up sucking there's always cyclone and ball lightning as fallbacks. On the one hand this build is heavily reliant on cluster jewels, on the other they're clusters literally nobody else but this build wants so they're always very cheap >boring SRS/specter/etc minion build as guardian +4 minion levels is like 75% more damage, guardian buffed in general, very easy and safe league start with no surprises
>>559033802current direction of 1 is "we want to make it slow and boring like 2" seems like none of us is getting what we want, but one side is saying "we really dont want this" while the other says "yes ggg please kick us in the balls even further"
>>559033793Yeah Ambi is super good. As the other anon said, end game is str stacker but it can do fine before then. Niggas just sleep on it because it is never super meta.

>>559034229yes, we love them
After having the displeasure of experiencing PoE2 and having to click to buttons and doing a dance to kill 1 white pack, I want to play a build with the least amount of button presses.
>>55903397220k ele , 10k phys, but with money 80k ele, 40k phys but thats probably close to a mirror worth so i could reach 40k ele 20 phys probably that squishy
>>559033763I dunno what dumb0's build is but astral projector makes pyroclast mines and shockwave totems 10x better. It has a surprisingly good area of effect where it seeks out things to drop the damage on top of.
>>559034064that sounds like marketniggerdry and I dont give a shit about it. sanctum is balls and those people find it irrelevant because they can easily farm mirrors and then buy balance/osin from whomever the fuck plays sanctum.
>>559034245drake ahh build
>>55903431210 buttons*
>>559034229thiswheres my vtuber going over the patch notes and spoonfeeding me builds
>>559034064I don't like groupfags either anon, but the difference between Sanctum and almost everything else is the map agnosticism that Sanctum has. Heist is similar, and I think it is the same. Those mechanics especially stick out as "We need to make them more profitable than literally everything else or no one will play them">this is true for every single farming strat in the game. people will always, without fail, gravitate to things that actually give them shit for their time and ignore things that are just not worth their time Only the last line is true. If something is literally so unprofitable that it is fucking you over, then people will not do it. Otherwise there are countless strats people love to do that are not as consistently profitable as strong boxes, but still loved. Things like:>Boss killing to get rare drops>Destructive play invitation loops>Essence spam>Crop rotation>Div card farming (apothecaries)>Alter spam on Jungle Valley>etc etc etcIf there was a #1 farm in the game some people will still not do it because they enjoy other farms more. I just don't meet anyone who says Santcum is fun. They just talk about profit. I find Destructive play FUN. I like chaining guardian maps and doing invitations and killing bosses and getting all the loot. I even like doing Silo memes.
>>559034383prenerf sanctum was the best source of raw currency, mirrors included. dont let groupniggers fool you, they absolutely know what they are doing with their ground loot disinformation campaigns.

>>559034762what wand skill are you using with it
>>559033248It's tougher this league because everyone will just be selling one type of map per tier.But if gold farming is accessible then maps with those mods will still sell because mazies will keep their Kingsmarch mappers running 24/7.Big ticket items will come in the form of high rolled More Currency and More Scarabs maps and well-rolled Nightmare maps, like before. If the map is rewarding enough then it doesn't matter how many bricked mods are on it because degenerate aurabot partyfags will run it regardless

>>559034847Seems legit but I dunno if you should do it on Scion just because of the astral projector. You can use the ring and get a whole ascendancy.
>>559034648I dont give a fuck, sanctumjewI dont give a fuck about groupfags or the market or any of that shit. if it was on me you would all be sent to the harbinger realm: posin made irrelevant, groupfaggotry being irrelevant, I do not care, thats all "but muh divines" shit.I want to run maps, kill mobs, get better loot and not have to interact with any of you retards but if the game was balanced around ssf you would kill yourselves because deep down you're all the same, you just want to get more divines to rmt your way out of whatever the fuck third world country you are
>>559035165the entire ascendancy is "you could use this unique and get the bonus", retard
>>559034549anon all these things are(and were during sanctum period) very profitable as is evident by scarab prices for them. sanctum being here didnt affect them in any meaningful way, but "devalued" groupnigger "ground loot" farms.
>>559032436in poe2 95% of the entire passive tree is just generic % increased damage or armor/evasion/es. with no center path and a ridiculous amount of traveling there's zero real build making to begin with, you have to play your class's starting area because wasting 30 points traveling elsewhere is losing like 60% damage, not to mention how the tree itself is so weak compared to poe1 that your gear is still what determines 90% of outcomes. poe2 is an extremely simple game, a good 90% of non-GGG-prebuilt builds literally rely on bug exploiting to function since the game's so on rails otherwisein poe1 your passive tree is way more impactful, you can literally get 4 voidstones using a tabula rasa which is literally a zero stats item that just has six sockets (although now that 6links are so accessible this is largely pointless), it's common to use random shitty 1c uniques even in endgame just because they have the socket colors you need and a "good enough" effect. Shit like Cluster Jewels and tattoos exist which exponentially increase the number of possible builds regardless of starting area, and Scion exists and there's fewer travel nodes in general so playing cross-class archetypes is actually completely possible. Then you add on pantheon, flasks, all the various implicits and influences on items, and a lack of in-game damage numbers or even the rough estimate dps calculator of poe2 and it's not a surprise why people use guides.

>>559035894enjoy your eternal irrelevance, shitcum will be garbage forever
>>559035329I think people need to LEARN from guides and not just COPY guides. That is how I learned to understand how the game works and can generally just put together something on my own and then look over at PoE ninja to see "Oh yeah, that unique exists"If you use a guide, please at least look at it and understand that much of it is transferable to other classes. Any duelist can easily get 65/65 block, for example, with tempest shield + something like ~10 points on the tree. Ranger can potentially do the same thing if you're pathing down towards that area, same with marauder. You also can notice how important spell suppress is, or how they are picking up extra endurance charges, etc. I feel like people can learn from guides and then in the future just apply those lessons to other characters.

>>559034198I played PSoA tots till Lv100it's fine. clears great. tanky enough for most content.but there is a delay. it adds up with each pack. packs add up with each map. maps add up over time. you probably won't feel it unless you time yourself, but it is definitely slower than true clear at movespeed builds.like you said, scaling is not the best. stick to doing static content like blight and ultimatum then swap to a better build
>>559038025I got to maps before bed time, so yeah I'd call it a good one.
I have a feeling Divine Blast is going to be sleeper good. The delayed explosion obviously means the base damage is going to be really high. Reduced duration is a given but also it'll probably overlap with multiple proj and some AoE

>>559039184Yeah but big pops were hitting the dot cap anyway, and you can just run 2x nebulis and be in the same place.It also goes a long way to mitigate the lack of refresh since you'll be getting twice as many ignites.Cheesing sims day 1 is dead, but once you're day 2-3 and your build isn't scuffed you'll be fine.
>>559039184>the refresh ignite mastery is killso single target is a little worse but map clear is unaffected>>559039361so meaningful...
>i had to nerf Reliquarian because Ruthless cucks could get some extra all resFuck this shitty gamemode for making weak stuff even worse. May BFR's new games all crash and burn with a max player cap of 100

>>559039237everything in poe 2 is genuinely a joke hopefully they rework it from the ground up
>>559039361there's even more reason to build defense when dying once in a map deletes the map.

Here's some real tech.You wear a max roll (25% avoid) Kiloava's Bluster and choose Kiloava's Bluster on Scion for 50% elemental ailment avoidance. You take all three branches of the Crystal Skin wheel (10+20+20) to achieve immunity to elemental ailments. You also have 90% all res against 80% of hits, which will probably lead to getting one shot when it doesn't activate. Fun.
>>559039531They unironically should've just made a campaign-focused soulslike and sold expansions. It's already too much jumping back and forth between games every two months when they are both so similar.
RF chieftain or berserker earthshatter??
>>559039639
>>559039237The game has an identity crisis and I am hoping the endgame rework is them solidifying their vision for the game and how they'll move going forward. Defenses feel retarded because it is primarily just stacking ES or Life and then, I dunno, getting some armor or recoup or block. Feels so blah.
uh oh poe1babs having melties about the superior game again
>>559039869no one mentioned grim dawn though

I've decided. I shall't be totemmaxxing this league.
>>559041480fubgun and kingsmarch already broke the economy come back in 6 months
>>559041126They 100% post here. We already caught Ackie. Subtractem said Chris liked the memes on here. I've made very specific complaints about both games that they've fixed
>>559041480I did that after having a lot of fun in the first two weeks of Settlers and loving the currency exchange...we all know how well that went...
i wish andrew came to poeg he seems based
>>559041480>actually putting some effort into the game for onceyou sloppiggies are so retarded, the mechanic is literally "dude old mechanics... TWICE!" but they said the loot word and now you're all super duper excited just to play the same builds you did before but now you can quit the league one week in instead of two weeks in

>>559042070You still want a dedicated trader managing the async tradeget the blasters in map finding loot, trader deals with the overhead, pricing, restocking, sorting, etc.

>>559042929Bro, PoE is a game that has hundreds of thousands of players on league launch yet tiny groups like his (and other streamers) have an outsized effect on the economy. Ben literally made a guide and got like 20% of the community to play one build, lol. I don't think I've ever seen a game this dominated by such a small number of people.
so now that foulborn rathpith is in the game, whats your excuse for not playing jugg RF?>13k hp>dot cap>12 endurance charges>easily runs shrine belt and +1 ring with no downside>gearing became absurdly cheap
>>559041780Lily was with us right from the start.
I'm sure some of you are familiar with the countless acronyms in this game. However, it's impossible for me and many other middle-aged, working people with kids/families or non-native English speakers to keep track of these. It's impossible to remember all the abbreviations like Proc, Pconc, Pcoc, Hroc, Praw, HoAg, Kboc, BAMA, CoC, GC, WED, IIR, FBOK etc.I think this kind of approach both alienates new players and only includes a minority who are familiar with all of these. I kindly ask that acronyms be used in full first and then as acronyms throughout the text -like in academic papers- so that everyone, from new players to veterans, young and old, can more easily participate in this subreddit.I always wonder if you meant Cast on Crit or Chains of Command when you type CoC. Or If you meant General's Cry or Glacial Cascade when you type GC. It's just tiring
>>559036479bear trap witch (unascended)
>>559044001you ain't getting foulborn rathpith lil gupno one will be doing breach after months of keeperslop

>>559044084some of the people that post there are so fucking useless
>>559044084You should be able to understand what's being talked about based on the context of the post. I have never seen anyone call Chains of Command "CoC," too.

What're we thinking about league mechanic in campaign? Breach was worth doing in if it was the old style without walls, new mechanic looks like a 'stand in one place for a while' so probably not worth doing, right?
>>559045774not him but don't you have to resummon them fairly frequently?
It's almost time to expose our genitals
>>559046023It looked like a "kill shit in a circle" mechanic to me
>>559046103convocate with automation support
>>559046023you do it if you want toif youre playing some shit campaign build it will give you a nice power boost, otherwise its a waste of time but you can just do it for fun anyway
>>559046176I mean resummon them because they died/expired
>>559046023It will never be worth doing the league mechanic if you're a speedrunner. If you're not getting to maps in 4-5 hours then you should probably at least do it every couple of zones for massive XP + loot to make the rest of the campaign smoother. Doing it in every zone will slow you down to a crawl though.
>>559046023yeah mirage is a skip until maps because it will slow you down far too much
>>559046238they have a relatively long duration and don't really die during mapping. during uber bosses or something like that, yeah you'll have to resummon them often
>>559046023Kill things if you walk past themCheck if wishes have something useful for youIf yes, do itIf no, skipShrimple as.
Ya, I'll be doing every Mirage and entering maps at level 75 :)
>>559046123kill shit in a circle so you can kill shit in a circle for a second time.I'll try it a couple of times to see if it's good for exp, otherwise I'll be skipping it>>559046242Even if you're speedrunning, it was worth starting the old style breaches and stutter stepping forwards as they expanded for exp and the chance of a good dropMark did say something like 'if you're speedrunning to maps you're gonna ignore it'>>559046379Huh, an actual smart idea. Depending on how quickly you can clear the circle the first time it's probably worth checking every few zones.
doing the campaign in 7~hours is already good enough
>>559046497sovl
>>559046497Same broI do the league mechanic everytime I see it because I want to learn about it
>>559046023you're always better off getting to maps ASAP when you're racing there on day 1, hours matter A LOT for income. you can sell so much more when you get to maps an hour before other people.you should be skipping league mechanic unless it's just so ludicrously powerful that the gear from it speeds you up even after the time loss of doing it
>>559032436Thats basically what I do except I also try to fulfill a class fantasy idea I have in my head, I don't know how people can play a holy templar throwing artificial ballistas that shoot out balls of kinetic energy.... the dissonance is so jarring and kills the game for me for half of these OP builds

>>559047479srsguardiancutedogunderscore
>>559047479whatever fubbers tells me to playEXALTED LORD FUBGUN (PBUH)
>>559047683Basically you use the new breach ascendancy to make it treat all added damage as cold or lightning, then you only do cold or lightning with the jewels and you get a shitload of added elemental damage that is independent of gear.Damage/PoB wise it is crazy. It is like 50M dps on a totally obtainable budget. Gameplay wise you won't get the breach lord ascendancy for a while and people forget you need to have the enemy actually have an ailment already for the explosion to happen, so you're either hitting twice to do it (annoying) or you need to have like skitterbots or some shit.It will be a fine build that at the top end will be insane, but I think a lot of people are gonna get annoyed at it.
Jun not getting copied is really making me consider not starting betrayal. Might have to wait and see if any other betrayal nodes got buffed outside the fracture one. 20 veiled jewelry aren't that common and there are a few ring veils that are just dead on fracture. Later in the league veiled mods are the easiest "T1" to add to an item.
>>559047780not just any 2 jewels slots either, 2 specific placements since combat focus have requirements to activate so you're also heavily restricted on pathing.feels like it's good early-game power and then you'll want to spec out of it
>>559047479guardian absolution and picrel
>>559047895Betrayal is always nice when filling out your atlas, not sure how the (probably) faster atlas progression is gonna impact that. Might be worth fishing for a good fracture until you unlock your second atlas.What would you do otherwise?

>>559048032how many new uniques did they add that patch?
>>559047479>Holy hammer>Forsen
Why did they have to make 400 different skills gems but 95% of them are absolute dogshit and every only uses the same 20 gems
>>559048229As I said: Ele hit is jankier than people want to believe. Late game you can solve everything and deal a bajillion damage and have crazy ice balls that go out and come back and freeze the screen but getting to there is really annoying.
>>559048289GGG are autistically against just mass buffing skills. They are determined that old and bad skills need to be reworked or buffed in 'interesting' ways. I mean Sweep was a garbage ass 15 year old skill and basically was always bad. Instead of buffing numbers, they just decided to rework it to now be a holy skill that drops hammers.
>>559047873Didn't this just play out though? Rue made a video pogging out about like 20 million dps with a blue claw and garbage gear.People didn't like it
>>559048474Yes, people were complaining about it being janky and the skill did not change other than getting even more damage later on.
>>559048289they explained it in the ziz interview and pitched the idea of removing all but 5 skills per class from the leveling experience
>Mamba reversionsWhere did you get this form? Was anything else changed?
>>559048971Look at the patch notes and scroll all the way down to the bottom, they post updates there. They basically reverted the nerfs for poison EXCEPT for the attack speed which is annoying desu
