fubsexual bowcel gets railed by his streamer goyfriend and gets bowpreggers and has to go to redditdoctor and get a bowbortion
>>570966687You keep forgetting to include the pastebinhttps://pastebin.com/SHt8unCtPrevious thread>>570885870
I think I like grenades more than Ice shot.Ice shot feels like I'm just throwing tons of tiny needles around and all my gear has the FubTax (tm) because what the fuck do you MEAN every upgrade is 100+ divsMeanwhile grenades has better clear, cheaper gear/upgrades and my 'Fuck this enemy in particular' button doesn't need the enemy to be frozen or released with perfect timing. Also, it's crazy satisfying when Merc does the "BYE BYE" voiceline as hundreds of grenades explode on the screen.Only bad part about grenades is that the visual clarity is atrocious, good fucking luck trying to see anything when hundreds of grenades are exploding all over your screen.
>>570966687Give me one thousand divine.
>>570967174i just copied the previous threadbut yes i did forget the previous edition too

>>570968065Paid 11, but perfect perfect strike on button tap is pretty good.Now I just need level 95 and to allocate every reduced potency of slow debuffs on you node on the tree.
>>570968065lmao, I was wondering why they were so cheap when I bought mine
uh oh melty
I'm rich
Holy fuck exiles are cancerous as fuck with siege cascade. They dodge around constantly so all the projectiles miss. This took me 25min of back and forth to refill flasks because i had to stand still in a corner the entire fight so it had less space to move in..
>>570968659Yeah it's so core to everything gemling wants to do. Darkness Enthroned + Paragon instill is THE gemling core and pretty much every streamer and their dogs is making new gemling builds by the second so these things that were super cheap before are premium items now>>570968593>11 divsholy yikes

>"Finished" in trade>Mageblood, HH, 900PDPS Crossbow and basically imortal character>got bored>decide to play SSF since endgame is newDamn, its so much fun to play SSF, every single step of gear progression is better, you can't just solve all your problems with buying the item, now I undertsand SSF players, its really the real game.
ban anyone exploiting temporalis + blink.

>>570969523tranime avatarfaggots don't play games they shitpost here that's their life
How did we go from amazing bosses like Geonor to mega slop like Azmadi?
>>570969491I mean if you're going to pay the tax then you should be building the autobomber gemling instead that clears everything on screen by merely walking. Grenades is just a budget build.
>>570969617whats the difference between this and just playing trade and crafting your own gear?
>>570969252>>570969321I have 0 hopes of PoE leagues, the new endgame bosses are shit and the new "juicing" is just boring, maybe in 3 years after PoE2 is a stablished title they will try to give the game new actual new content.
>>570969617TRVKIE
>>570969617My issue with ssf is having to luck into specific uniques if I want to use them. Just about every build has one or two uniques that would be absolutely massive to have but you just don't have them in ssf.
>>570969831The difference is he cant jerk himself off about bring le ebin hardcore gaymer if he just does the exact same thing in trade instead.
>>570969958ritval exists, young pup
>>570969924Retention chart shows your opinion is worthless and irrelevant
I'm crawling through campaign for the first time this league and I'm straight up not enjoying it. Something about poo2 campaign is so fucking soul crushing, I can easily go for 3-4 chars every league in poo1 but leveling in 2 is a fucking struggle.
>>570969831Honestly its a slippery slope, I was always a "nah just trade as the last resource" but the moment you get a giga drop that you won't use that will net you a huge amount of currencies your jewish-dormant genes awaken and you start buying everything that you need.>>570969958Bro, I decided to play with the "Rueto Galvanic Shards Tactician Buff Stacker" build and it requires 2 uniques and only at level 84 I was able to get the crossbow and only now at 91 that I was able to put at the "lsat upgrade" with the table, now I'm chasing the +100 spirit helmet so I can use that amazing chest that nets you 2k+ regenration.
>>570969958Think outside of the box with what you have!
>>570970245retard
>farm for hours everyday>everyday mirror is still further awayyeah this game rly shows me how much of a midwit i am, unable to keep up with inflation
>>570970245Then don't play it
>>570970663>this game rly shows how much of a midwit i amthat was clear by your league selection
>>570970245same for me except i cant play more than one poo1 character because its so boring and this poe2 league i leveled 5 different retards up
>>570970663yeah the economy in poe2 is beyond shit. its honestly really hard to believe that they tried balancing drops around trade lol
>>570971115poe2 is balanced for SSF
I like goin fast but for the on the wind atlas passive is the second option the one the one people pick for juicing shit to crazy levels?
>>570971183i agree. but thats not what johnathan thinks/intended
>>570971264retard
>>570971183it doesn't feel balanced for either
>>570971183*audience laughter*
>>570971330yeah he really is
>>570970193True but it still sucks to have to luck into the right one. There's so many uniques in the game that you might never get the one you want.>>570970502I really like build defining uniques. This league in particular had so many that it's hard to decide which builds to go for. I finished challenges which got me thinking of starting over in ssf but also kinda don't want to because I wanna goof about with the new uniques. Maybe I'll play ssf in 1.0 or in a few months after I've had a break from the game.
>>570971405works on my machine
>>570971795results not typical
why is the balance in this game so shit? this is my second league but there always seems to be some extremely exploitable build every season. seriously i can't imagine they spent a whole lot of time playtesting djinn varashta considering she clears everything even without gear
>>570969617>every single step of gear progression is betterJust a reminder that you're still skipping half the gear progression by ignoring defence if you're playing softcore ssf. There's a reason why all serious players only play HARDCORE ssf
>>570971983retard
death to tranime watching losers
>The game when it's my turn to fight a pinnacle boss
>>570971527If I really want a unique and the farm isn't feasible, I just push as far as I'm having fun with before sending the character off to trade
>>570971983>playtesting>before releasing all bases classes and skillsmaximum kek
>>570966687repost>>570895391tornados dont stack. Tornados can't proc explosions. Tornados have a small aoe and don't move across the screen for multi-pack clear. The skill is designed like shit. Even if it does decent damage with the ring, it's just designed from the ground up to be subpar

JONATROON
>>570971183This league for sure
>>57097198390% of the best builds in the league since 0.1 on PoE1 are oversight on interactions. It's how the game works, you abuse what goes under the patches, that's why posting your "OP builds" before launch is a best way to kill them.
im enjoying temple farming for the first time
>play poe1>wish i were playing poe2 instead>play poe2>wish i were playing poe1 instead
>>570972570retard
>>570969617Yeah bro just farm 300 perfect trans and augs and click every white base you find on the ground otherwise you won't upgrade your gear ever
>>570969617No one notice how every post that goes "SSF is so fun bros" never has an image of the poster playing the game
>>570972570I want poe1 with poe2 gameplay and poe2 with poe1 endgame.
Has anyone here gotten Voranas Siege to drop, and if so where did you get it?I assumed it was from Vorana, but the wiki says it drops from Medved
since next league is the final poe1 league im gonna go all out glass cannon and see if its any fun
>>570973358>poe2 with poe1 endgameand by that what do you mean exactly? run the same map autistically for weeks?

>atziri fucks the beast>gets 4 tits>gets domestic violence assualted and raped in a fight with you>gets eaten by the beast by sticking her up its anus and it busts a nut spreading corruption and destroyting civilisation What did ggg mean by this?
>>570973516Yes because I hate 90% of these maps in poe2.
>>570972570that pic is literally my little sister, same haircut and constantly dabs when talking to me. she uses dabbing like exclamation marks, but also for weird shit like saying thanks. she started doing it after our youngest brother died. they would always retell spongebob jokes together in front of me and then laugh at me when I wouldn't get them.
>>570973863hopefully you will never get what you want then. and fuck you
FUCKINGJOHNERTHAN
>>570974006do you jerk off to your sister sometimes?
>>570973516>run the same map autistically for weeks????? anon that's literally poo2 endgame, there's no content that pushes back on strong builds so you just mindlessly run the same T15/16 maps forever like a fucking apepoo1 has ubers, valdos, 100% delirious juiced T16's, delve all of this can push even the strongest builds and actually give you something to work towards in the endgame
>>570974515Don't worry, Heist 2 coming soon.
>>570974515>pushing strongest builds>its all instakill mechanics like an on-off switch for your healthits the only way they can counter player power

comparison is the thief of joy
>>570974515retard
>>570973840Atziri is evil queen done right and should have more appearances in the game. Have a song using the Vaal speech from Aggorat as intro:https://files.catbox.moe/gggsf6.mp3
>>57097451590% of poo1 playerbase bitched 2 years straight about t17 you dumb fucking gorilla nigger, muh heckin valderinos!!!

>>570974515>ubers, valdos, 100% delirious juiced T16's, delveI dislike each one with passion maybe except for ubers, just make them baseline
>>570974731sounds like a build issueretard
>>570975029>poo2 tourist thinks valdos and T17's are the same thingretard
>>570974154no, I don't like her very much. I sometimes wish my brother was still alive instead of her.
>>570971986Did you have the support on it that makes it do shit to drenched shocked targets? That combo carried the entire process. Thunderstorm itself doesn't do good damage.
>>570975336>poo1sissies having zero reading comprehension, as expectedle valdos circlejerking is pointless, when 90% of the playerbase cant handle a t17 (or a breach hive wall, but thats a topic for another discussion)
>>570975006im honestly considering getting the red queen chamber for a hideout
>>570975459People hated T17's because they were seen as mandatory, valdos are not mandatory to run>le valdos circlejerking is pointless, when 90% of the playerbase cant handle a t17the point of the OP is that there is almost always higher level content that will push your build, no matter how strong your build getsretard
Reminder that Act 5 is confirmed kinozone
Whats the easiest way to squeeze like 3~ more spirit in my build without wearing a spirit pendantDo I really need to buy a grand spectrum or some shit
>>570976028
>>570975931>act 5>reward rogue markerholy shit we are getting multiple leagues for 1.0 i wonder what act 6 will give or maybe as its a boss gauntlet it has no mechanic so heist is the 1.0 league
Death to all streamerniggers and twitchtards
>>570976125Pretty sure it'd be cheaper to buy the grand spectrum than to pay for the two liquid isolations...
>>570976028any of the buffs you using have spirit res reduction as quality?
>finally decide to reroll>go to gamble for some twink gear in a1>see thisliterally why
>>570976605so that you can't pay 100 gold times a million to gamble for level 1 uniques
>>570975463Id get it if I didnt get the ziggurat hideout from my first 5 mystery bosses
Done with the league. Probably not playing PoE2 again until 1.0.Four complaints:Atlas pathing: I really hate having to path between maps on the atlas, it's just too time consuming to get to a map or quest you actually want to do. This should only be a thing inside the Fortress or for Quests. The general map shouldn't require this pathing bullshit.Skill system: They should eventually rework the whole thing. The only actual hard part of making a build right now. You kinda have to actually playtest each skill the way that it is now. You can't just POB out the best support gems for the skill.Campaign skips: A must. Preferably something you unlock in the endgame. I'm fine playing it once a league, but playing it fully multiple times at 6 to 8 hours each is a ridiculous ask. Something that trims it to a ~2-3 hour ordeal on twinks would be fine. I might still be playing the league if it didn't require that time investmentBalancing: It's bad. When it takes so little to roll over all content I lose interest and I'm saying this as an SSF player. I imagine you can easily beat all the content on 5 div or so in trade.This league was the first time I actually cared enough to play the endgame though, overall it's a 7/10.
>>570976903retard
Hey guys~! Im Saddie Enwerd!Nice to meet chya~!
>>570976467Yea and they're already at 35% qualutyhttps://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/redemption-cluster-grenade-gemling-peuget2To be more specific, I was trying to find a way to slot in Mirage archer on this. With reservation and spirit on boots, I'm literally like two (2) spirit away from equipping it and it sucks.

sisters..our narrative
I TRIED TO SEEK PEASBUT THE SUGMAS DISGRACED ME
>>570976903The forced campaign thing is hilarious because you can tell anytime Jonathan gets asked about it he thinks they actually painted the fucking Mona Lisa or something, so naturally you MUST play it over and over again to fully appreciate the ART that went into it.
>>570977759>>570976903You are never getting a skip, tourist. Go the fuck back to D4.
>endgame completely re-done>there's still absolutely no challenging content for good buildsnot a good sign
>>570977871They'll just do a repeat of T17s where 90% of the ground is an instakill degen pool and you're being chased by notMaven who keeps spawning monkeys on you.
I HAVE SEEN BEYOND
>>570977830How can you has such little respect for your own time as to allow Jonatroon to put you in a cock cage for 8 hours multiple times a league?
>>570977871>good buildi assume by good build you mean absolutely broken doing 10x expected damage or abusing some interaction that will get removed the second the league ends.once they actually start balancing theres definitely going to be a storm of GAME TOO HARD WAAAAAH
Frost CRUSH
>>570978131You are never getting a skip.
the fuck are these crashes, shit's getting more often
>>570977871>there's still absolutely no challenging content for good buildsthere never will betroonathan already set the precedent by bending the knee to reddit dads and nerfing ritual boss rush and delirium, the only 2 things that had a bit of difficulty to them
>>570977679I just hit this point
>>570977830This 'tourist' did it all blind on HCSSF(btw), So get back to trading, your divines are inflating as we speak.
>>570978135>i assume by good build you mean absolutely broken doing 10x expected damageno I mean literally any competent build with acceptable damage and defenses and more than 30 div worth of gear investment
>>570978269LARP. You are never getting a skip.
>>570978135>once they actually start balancinganon...the games been out for over a year now
>>570976903100% Correct. But you forgot to shit on them for not deleting trial of suckmyass yet.
Wait that was a rollbackGIVE ME BACK MY T16 JONATHAN
>>570978350nice try but its not out yet.
>>570977221can't divine anything for a better roll?
>>570978601oh true, I'm sure once 1.0 is out they'll just get much better at balancing all of the sudden
>tourists expecting game balancelmao lol
Personally, I still find it funny that they didn't bother adding all weapons and classes in the supposed "bug testing" and "fixing" phase. Well it's not like PoE isn't on an infinite balancing treadmill but funny nonetheless.
at this very moment the game crashed and is currently still frozen
You fucking retards. They will NEVER "balance" the game after the success of 0.5. Because they learned that having easily accessible OP builds actually keeps people playing which makes them MONEY. Not to mention that the "Poo community" is deeply autistic and retarded. Have you not learned anything about how sensative they are about nerfs? If you have to actually play the game in 1.0 and can't have a monkey one shot everything for you then get ready to witness a mass seething.
>>570979306Get freeze immunity thenRetard
You're telling me I have to kill xesht hundreds upon hundreds of times for a chance to get the lineage support I wantCan you even fight him with the 300 splinters, or do I also have to do 50 or so maps in-between each attempt?
The D4 dilator tourists ITT want POE2 leagues to be heavily tested on a PTR where everything gets nerfed into the ground before it goes live. They are mentally ill shit eaters who want to ruin POE. Always reject their bullshit bad faith arguments and mock them relentlessly.
>>570979306SCIENCE WONT SAVE YOU
>>570978981They didn't add them so it won't have more gamebreaking shit and other high priority fixes on top of what's already there and not have to either overwork or lose retention.People don't give a shit about it not being released when that's the case as we've already seen, they'll just spam worst patch worst patch

>>570981093the whole game is a casino anonthat's what ARPGs are
why are devs so out of touch
Imagine if they hadn't pre-emptively nerfed Witchhunter. This + 12k sorcery ward is a big rofl.
>>570981534I read all poe communication in my head in either chris, jonathan or mark's voice, and i always know immediately which one it is. this one was jonathan. they all kind of sound the same anyway.
>>570974515Poo2 is going this way as well. None of the mechanics present interesting gameplay. It's all just aoe crushing hordes of mobs.
>>570975448electromagnetism or the other one? Tried them, they didn't do much dps either. I'm surprised they nerfed it. Both that and plants are incredibly lackluster. I think spells are destined to be shit in this game until they unpooify them like they need to unpooify maces
>>570981127it's the same guy as karst from poe1. the character is pretty much karst too.
>>570980972Oh I will fucking be there to tell you I TOLD YOU SO
>>570977871balance is so fucking atrocious right now. Still doubling down on aug trans white base slop. still no new game mechanics. It's just recycled content
>>570978341And by that, of course, you mean 10x expected damage and 10k es
>>570982337yea, witchhunter is quite the beefy boykinda surprised that he's only 4% on HC ladderguess it still doesnt really beat blue life
>>570983331zaccie said it's FIXED STOP bringing it UP
>>570977990THIS GAME IS DOOMEDFEEL THE THRILL OF THE SEKHEMASWATCH ENDGAME CRUMBLEYOU WILL LONG FOR CAMPAIGN RUNS
>>570983331I was thinking of playing it in HC but I saw a clip of the ward bugging out and going negative and I wont be risking using bugged shit for defences. It only takes 1 bug to void your shit.
getting an early-mid endgame wand is soul crushing.finding a +5 is bad enough, but if you play ed/c the only two acceptable prefixes are chaos damage and spell damage.
>>570972054I would give it a go but I trip too much
Well isn't this just lovely.
>>570984650one in each hand
Can you make a "t18" map by combining +1 area level, irradiate, and t16 maps?
>mfw gemling is a better ballista user than tactician because he gets +1 to their limits from gem qualities, +2 proj to explosive grenades (so he can use them in mortar without nuking their already -50%'d damage with Multiproj) and the totems actually fucking fire without him having to attackgrim
>>570985274I look like this
>>570985274Yeah, Tactician Totems are so ass that pretty much every Tactician on the ladder is just a supporting fire cuck. You look at the embankment auras and say "WOWIE, EVEN MORE SKILLSPEED AND DAMAGE?" and then you realize that it involves putting down an Artillery Ballista which does 0 fucking damage and a Siege Ballista which does 0 fucking damage so you can boost a Mortar Cannon which does all of your damage. Gemling can just throw down 3-4 Mortars and kill the boss instead of bothering with the cucked auras.
>>570985091yes
37 sleeps left until 3.29

>>570986446Tell him to get back to 0.5.3
>>570986446tell him he's a nigger for bullying grim yawn
where is the fucking poe1 event niGGGers
Should I do the 4th ascendancy on Chaos or Sekhema? Which ones easier?
if poe2 feels this bare bones in 0.5, how bad was it when it first came out? were essences even in the game?
strange enough the only things that ever kill me anymore are rogue exiles. when they have dozens of millions of health, if they have any uniques that scale off of max hp they are ohko threats
>>570986728I'm not going to call anyone a nigger when there's 300 black people outside
>>570987162black people love grim dawn so they would be okay with it once they understood your motivation

>>570987302i only watch vtubers
>>570987019the pace of development is glacial, the game has barely changed since 0.1a few important things were added>greater and perfect currency so you dont have to pick up as many white bases (but then ggg gutted the drop rate of perfect trans and aug)>abyss as an enjoyable endgame mechanic >desecration as a cheat code to guarantee a mod >fracturing orbsthats pretty much it as far as content goesif you can believe it, mapping was even worse in 0.1the game didnt have sprint or checkpoints or a boss in every map, you had to slowly waddle through the map and kill every rare monster to complete it
>>570987274What do you mean 3 fragments? Do I need 3 ultimatums?
um... yikes... y'all... this is NOT okay, ggg
>>570987476girls don't play poe
>>570987206>they would be okay with it once they understood your motivationDude wtf is your problem?
>>570978135>once they actually start balancinghow new
>>570982919Unlike PoE1 I feel like 2 just lacks any interesting scaling vectors, the tree is so mediocre that I don't really understand what you're supposed to do other than shoving some crazy uniques and scaling crit. Cast speed is terrible and scales poorly, mana is okay but expensive, everything else just isn't that good
>>570985569Tac is a buffbot right now, doing everything but totems. I don't foresee that he'll get buffed though
>>570987302>>570987476retard
>>570988276Suck my dick loser
>>570987608you need to collect 3 fragments where you get at the end of the chaos trial (10 challenge) to fight the trialmaster for the 4th ascendency
>>570988485 (me)>>570987608i forgot you can just buy off the fragments in the currency exchange
I have no idea how to use this.
>Dreamcore talked about how shapeshift builds are rapidly decreasing in usageSurely this means buff soon right bros?

I would just hate my time if I had to spend 90 levels playing some gay secondary build until I could bring the one I wanted online. And what if it just never drops? Fcuk...

my budget tablets are 10x the price today fucking faggots
>>570992613The fub tax is 10000% real and even more now that we're deep into the league and exalts are giga inflated

>the league is literally overyet you still don't have 8/8 challenges hmmm curious
>>570993093nigga I did 8/8 last week
>>570993071its definitely not dead but prices are inflated for popular classes precisely because its week 3 and everyone already is leveled and gearedespecially when you're playing the shilled class of the #1 economic terrorist

On the trade site there really no way to use the weighted sum to filter the actual defense values on gear?Having to do it for the bonuses is unnecessarily more complex and doesn't even really work for comparing different bases

I regret league starting with Hollow Form Whirling Martial Artist. My damage is shit compared to .ninja, still haven't dropped or made enough for a good unique belt, but I can't think of how I would actually improve beyond that.It seems pretty impossible to weigh up whether losing the unique gloves and hollow form would give me more DPS considering I just hold down a button. Thoughts?
>>570996605Any jewel with no crit or no defenses is basically worthless
>>570997340How are you doing bad damage with this? I dropped hollow form and just spam charged staff + mantra of destruction + whirling assault melting everything. Spam bells and falling thunder for huge hordes and/or bigger targets when needed.
Anyone else addicted to just finding some new build that looks interesting and playing through the campaign, putting it together then doing two maps and rerolling? I'm on my 7th one now, I really wanted to beat the challenges and see all the content but I just lose all interest or something else looks more interesting and it's very difficult to just stick to one character. How do you do it?
have you tried not being a retard
>>570997793I checked the other builds on .ninja and their DPS for the skill shows as multiple times mine. I melts most T15 mobs but it takes a long time for me to kill pinnacles and to run T16s with delirium.
>>570997861Obviously not, if I wasn't retarded I wouldn't be playing this game in the first place.

what are strats to run/bosses to farm if my build sucks ass at map clearing but good with killing bosses.
>>570998061More than likely your jewels, supports, and damage as extra isn't up to the same level that they are at (on top of not having an extra 6 levels from all the other modifiers)

Is there a way of getting Atlas points quickly or do I have to painfully get them one by one
>>571002265Protip: Ignore armour entirely and just go all in on energy shield. I have 0 armour, 0 evasion, 0 block chance, but because I have 10k energy shield I literally never die. I don't even have any points in energy shield recharge or recharge delay.
>>570999875Huhh? How can you get +minions on a belt?
>>571003049Kill arbiter of divinity over and over and use the beacons around the arena edges afterward
>>571003049Kill the new arbiter of divinity a few times, Each time you kill him, you "complete" a full section of the fortress and you get all the atlas points for it.
>>571003049Each arbiter of divinity kill lets you fill in an entire section at once. If you don't mind buying the entry items for a few divs you can be done in 15 minutes.
>>571003252Wait, you can just buy them in trade?Man, SSF is such a different beast.
>>571002708I killed everything, got the ding that I cleared it. Walk up to it with full hp there are no enemies in sight. I fall over dead instantly, no warning, no enemy on screen. No bolt of an attack just instant death with no idea what even happened. I've never even come close to seeing a reward like that before. I can't even process what just happened. Holy fucking shit I hate this game so much it's unreal.
>>571002265Armour and ES gear is going to suck except for scarred faith or zealot's oath or some recoup effect stacking. You're better off going full armour or ES, the two just don't work well together if you don't have some cheap way to include it like Varashta's phys armour
>>571003252>>571003251>>571003250Whats the name of the entry item?
>>571003392WHY IS THERE NO FUCKING INFORMATION ON WHAT KILLED YOU????? HAVEN'T WE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY FOR 30 YEARS??? GOD FUCKING DAMNIT.
>>571003440Origin Cradle and Origin SparkThey combine into something else called Origin thingy, I forget
>>571003134Thats what i feared. I already have an ES character and wanted something new
>>571003546Unironically because it would lower engagementPeople learning exactly what killed them would make people more upset by the game and give them more things to blame. It would also make people get bored faster because they would be able to counter what's killing them more easilyTHIS IS WHAT GGG ACTUALLY BELIEVE
ive taken the grenade pill and im not looking back
>>571000873jonathan said 1.0 is bigger than 0.5 multiple times
>>571003995once you solve survivability you just have funny damage and every button is gigantic amounts of aoe

>200% delirious>T15>everything takes 10 years to kill>rogue exile rangers are literally impossible to killl because they flip away from me non stop and get full healed every time they do the possessed attack thingDo you have to be full meta or like 100+ divs to do this shit comfortably? Because this is pretty boring, everything is just a massive damage sponge.
>>571003186breach tree crafting its extremely fucking rare for +2 let alone with any other good minion mod
A first world problem I've been having is grenades killing monsters before they even spawn which is a problem with abyss since you want to drag that one enemy outside his fart cloud so he can drop the good omens
>>571004183yes
>>571004183I have about 40 div put into my plant djinn that can do it pretty comfortable but i tend to be kiting a rare to the next rare and it just dies while chasing me so i dont feel the slower kill times.
>>571003995I was looking for a crossbow clear skill for bloodmage bleed, I think I might end up having to go a grenadeI was hoping for a shooting skill though just for the flavor
>>571004091I've got a huge 1.0 brewing, if you catch my drift
>>571004478>I was looking for a crossbow clear skill for bloodmage bleed,High velocity roundsI've seen several builds based around that + herald of blood
does killing the arbiter of divinity always unlock a section of the fortress? I can now just spam him a a few more times by buying the origin core for a few div and finish the atlas, correct?
>>571003392
>search for origin spark on trade>zero instant buyouts>tons of suspiciously low priced items as in person tradesAm I going to spend hours messaging these idiots to see who replies

JonathanFuckingWon.
>>571005554https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/redemption-cluster-grenade-gemling-peuget2This build has like double the HP of the others which should make it tankier, after that is just fucking around to see how you can make it even tankier I guess since none of the builds focus on that.
>>571004468I feel stuck because there seems to be this huge gap between levels of gear for me. I only have maybe 15 divs into my gear. For example a great ring will be 2 divs but the next step up will be like 40 and I just don't have it
>>571004091>bigger than 0.5b-but 0.5... was their biggest update... EVER
>>571004091We know for a fact that we're getting 2 acts, 1 new class/weapon (most likely duelist/swords), and a new league mechanic (probably heist going by database stuff). I cant see any more major content getting added besides new skills/supports for existing weapons and some qol stuff.
each update will be bigger than the last until poo2 is coming apart at the seams from all that content.
>>571003252Do you get unlimited tries like the quest version?
>>571003252Is this bait? I thought you could only do it once.
>>571005834thanks ill take a look. any ideas to get tankier too?
WHY THE FUCK AM I ONLY GETTING THESE DOGSHIT JEWELS FOR LOOT
>>571005935That doesn't really seem that big considering act 6 is confirmed to be a very short act. There must be something else. I feel like they may port another PoE1 mechanic across in addition to whatever new league mechanic they do. They already confirmed that TOTA is not likely in for 1.0.
holy fuck im sick of burning ground killing me when I can't see it, how do i get immunity to burning?
>>571005935>>571006598Actually I bet they will also finally add in divination cards, and they will be purchasable by supporters in a limited quantity in some new core supporter pack they announce at exilecon. And Jonathan keeps mentioning he wants to get Blight and Delve into poop2, so I imagine one of those will be added
3.29 waiting room
>>571006598I think 2 new classes and 2 new league mechanics would make sense for a 1.0 release but its GGG so i doubt it. Honestly im hoping for blight and legion.
>>571006452No clue honestlyMaybe someone else has some ideas but I haven't had much luck
>>571005301thanks for the tipI was about to trash all of them and suddenly a guy messaged me they wanted to buy one for 2 divs, I accidentally put all the non blues into my trade stash.Maybe that's the meta?

am i playin the game correctly? im going to the west waygate thing for the burning monolith at level 82 and using like yellow waystone 8-9s on the way
>>571007853>>571007578retard
>>571007914Yes, you're doing fine. It's generally a good idea to unlock the citadel stuff first.Keep going, anon.
>>571007853Another miss. You've had a LOT of misses in this thread. If you can't do your job properly then unfortunately I will have to takeover.
>>571006408no, every single time you kill him you unlock a part of the fortress but have to do the connecting towers to round out the atlas
>>571008087thank you. i just see my exp bar moving so slowly and feel like im doin something wrong.i follow a guide but i dont understand the progression with it. it says mid/early mapping but the dude has way more skill points from me somehow
Trying to fuck around with Original Sin was a mistake. There is ONE total support dedicated to non-poison/non-DoT chaos damage. I guess I'll just be a Rakiata Fag like everyone else. Nice balance, GGG...
>>571008140Can you get the spark and shit again without buying it?
>>571008576just go out and explore, they have two golden beams that look somewhat like jamanra's but are cleaner light beams with less electric particlesthey're really common honestly, I'm playing on hc and I found like 4 of them before even attempting ash
>>571006175To the best of my knowledge, yes, even the non-quest versions are unlimited. They were about 7 divs a few days ago when I did mine, I think they are 4ish now.
>>571008664huh okay, so they're like the old fragment towers? probably better than having to grind the maps individualls
>>571008576They spawn naturally like the arbiter frag bosses, supposedly they are close to the fortress to the north and west, up behind it.
>>571008939old fragment towers and are extremely important for optimal farming this patch due to city biomes eventually giving a 4th tabletthe matriarch/patriarch halls are just sort of randomly placed, though I typically find a pair close to one another (albeit they can be the same one)

Can I sell this for any divines?Should hopefully be a good crossbow with good mods
>>570981343How the fuck are you so bad that you have to trade for gear in tier 1 or 2 maps? Eventually you will get pretty good gear just by knowing how to craft and gambleeverytime I see that pic you post I see you post how bad you are at the game and I've seen that pic since 0.1 launched. Maybe git fucking gud at the fucking game for once?
>>571009336>Lose 3 mana per enemy killed
I think the only part gearing in ssf is hard is when you know you need to grind like 20 ribs out so that 1 or 2 can hit pieces and give you decent 4 mod gear to carry you into endgame
Is there a support gem that makes you more resistant to damage when using leap slam?
>>571009990no only stun threshold
>>571009831LMAO
i bought gear so i feel like i cheated
>>571009723looks ok
>>571010121Yea but I'm unsure how much it'd sell for since the price check feature is terribly bad so I was hoping for people that play trade know how much something like that would sell for
>>571010106>ezomyte uniquecan you use that Aldur's Legacy rune on it to steal its 100% increased attack damage mod?

I genuinely dont know how there are still campaign skippers here begging. Did nobody fucking play D4 on launch? The moment i campaign skipped with a new character It finally hit me like a brick. Everything was so empty and depressing when I campaign skipped. Baldos poe 1 vision finally hit me and made me realize why every fucking stupid NIGGER redditard on here who asks for it is A STUPID FAGGOT. I immediately fucking quit D4 and never touched it again after a few dozen levelsCampaign skips will kill the game. Mapping being the only piece of content is boring and I dont see how they could even fucking balance it starting at level 1Anytime i see a campaign skipfag i genuinely wish they get beaten with a baseball bat

>>571010267>lowest is 45divsjust input the dps and the suffixes it's kinda skewed because +projectile and +attack skills are different
>>571010660I agree, campaign skip would be fucking retarded. The closest thing I would allow would be a way to re-select your base class once per character for a very high cost. Like, a rare item is required to do it, and you pay 5 million gold, and then it unspecs your entire tree, you become unascended, and you can select a new base class, keeping your current level. Then once you do it your character becomes "corrupted" or "sanctified" or whatever so you can't do it again. Even this might be too egregious of a feature though
>need to do 33 maps just to go from 96 to 97Don't know if I have it in me

>>571010707thats about where i stand and the furthest i've got at level 82.got to like level 72 back when we had to do the campaign twice and the maps were half assed.i do not know how fast i should be progressing. i dont know the depths of poe autists
I'm 98% certain that every dipshit that is anti-campaign-easening is someone that literally just plays 1 character for the entire league and then MAYBE does another one that they spend 500 divines on to 6 link corrupted gems mega tabula rasa etcBecause you are not a normal player that is making his 5th char for the league and thinking "yeah I want to spend another 5-10 hours in the campaign"Unironically no argument unless you make at least 3 characters per league and if you dont, you clearly dont enjoy the game anywayThere won't be a campaign skip but there should be EASILY and readily available STRONG cheese to make it so even the average dadgamer can clear the campaign in 4 hours. speedshits can do it in 1hr i dont care
>>571011173would say level 91-93 is about when the rerolls happen typically82 is still very early in maps
>>571011340what do you mean by the rerolls?like a whole ass reroll of a character or gear/skill tree swap?
>>571011301you can clear the campaign easily in 4 hours with twink gearif you can't it's a skill issuepeople do the campaign as is without any gear in 3 hourscampaigns unironically one of the most fun part sof the game neways
>>571010660You're right but the world isn't ready for that powerful a truth.
>>571011421character swappeople tend to chronic character swap around 91-93 cause thats when the levels slow down so unless you feel in the mood to grind out the gear progression feels like it has stopped
>>571010707just pick gemling and do random shit builds
>>571011454>>571011301I don't think skipping the campaign is a good thing. But skip-fags are right about one thing - the campaign sucks ass. People won't want to skip the campaign if they make the campaign actually fun. Who asked for railroaded linear story driven cutscene bullshit? Nobody.
>>571011301>WAAAHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHH I WANNA PLAY ALL THE CHARACTERS THIS LEAGUE WITH ALL THE BUILDS WAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEither stick with a character or two and focus on progressing as much as possible or deal with it. If a 7-9 hour campaign with twink gear is too much but spending hundreds of hours with each fucking character you make in maps is fine than you are a hypocrite bitch
>>571011546ah word already kinda felt that way recently with a permafrost witch hunter. i just want to get to a comfy spot where i can play like a braindead idiot and watch shinies drop but it still feels like survival horror mode
I am pretty sure this perk is bugged. The constructs die and dont drop a single item. I even had a wisped construct that died and dropped nothing.
skipfags are the most gaped retards in existence

>>571011645It's more of a build thing and I do think a lot of people get build checked in maps because they're not smoothing out some of the delivery mechanisms their build has access to
>>571010660correct, I knew this from the start as a ruthless ssf player, the game is about the journey, skipping leaves nothing
>>571011678get phasing retard
>>571011593you're just in the minority if you think the campaign is assit's one of the best parts of poe2 even nowif a little bit of dialogue you have to lmb through is too much then you are just beyond saving, but campaign is where you feel the most satisfying gear curve/growth of your character assuming you aren't twinking
>>571010660Is that even coming or are you preemptively shitting on it?
honestly you should just be able to pay a sum and have all challenges completed, and the entire campaign and atlas cleared so I don't have to play the game at all, just like my gachas where I throw away my life savings for a JPEG

>>571011609Mapping is fun, the campaign isn't. >>571011969Poo 2 eaters don't have to pretend the campaign is good now that there is more endgame to focus on. It's okay to admit that it's a boring slog.
i like the campaign. maps are a bit better now but they're still pretty boring
>>571011969>you're just in the minority if you think the campaign is ass>it's one of the best parts of poe2 even nowIf it was then people wouldn't want to skip it so bad, retard. Nobody wants to sit through a Diablo 3-tier story with every single area being instanced and being forced to navigate the same goddamned maze ever single fucking map just to reach a story checkpoint you've already seen a hundred times. And then having each retarded league mechanic shoved in your face without any attempt to make them look natural.It's monotonous and GGG doesn't understand that single player story driven games need to actually add something to break up the monotony of the gameplay loop and reward the player occasionally. The game doesn't even have cinematics for christs sake, something D2 had 25 years ago.
>>571012462the campaign is merely a series of maps
>>571011454i said for the average player bitchthere are pretty much 0 resources available on how to do a twink campaign you have shit recommending facebreakers on every class
>>571010660They don't get it. Who the fuck wants to rush asap to mapping of all things. That is lame as shit. Mapping is a fun part of the game but the campaign leading up to it brings everything together in a nice package. Diablo 4 story sucks ass with a really unlikable female sidekick so I understand wanting to skip it. Lilith was a cringy final boss. They fixed it with Mephisto kinda. Too much touchy feely crap in diablo. Compared to poe story where we see people's guts get ripped out and bodies torn to shreds.
>>571012278Both games have its good and bad. I just maximise the enjoyment I get from either of them.
>>571012675brother it's not fucking complicatedwhat class are you going to playprep the applicable uniques (especially boots with ms) and go from thereyou will clear under 4 hours if you have a clue how to move in this game with premade weapon + boots, anything else is so your ass doesn't explode randomly, but there's probably uniques that solve that entirely tooIf you want to be autistic and run an exceptional unique boot vaaled to three sockets or some shit with 3 ms runes, goahead, but a series of strong weapons to equip and some runes + ms boots means you're running toward every boss anyway
>>571012737the good about poo2 is that it's not poo1the bad about poo1 is that it's poo1
>attempt to get Rakiatas and Garukhans dozens of times using the unique tablets and proper set up>get nothing>randomly get this in some shitty travel map without even using Jadohmm
>>571011969>you're just in the minority if you think the campaign is assis this a jokeare you like unironically retarded? like no memes, do you have brain damage?I'd bet money on it that if they added an option to skip campaign next league everyone would be masturbating, praising them to the heavens and thanking them for such a gigantic QOL. Though I can't say I see them adding such a thing, maybe if they restricted it to have to run it once then all your alts get to skip it since you already paid the price and did the time.

>>571012509Are you kidding? All the maps are boring except for Ravine and Summit
>>571012920I think it'd be omega shitlike campaign skip would be soulless and probably lower player retention despite chirpers saying it's goodyou have to design an alternate thing anyway, or do you just expect to play maps across 50 tiers from level 1 to 100?>>571013018very politely kill yourself
>>571013018ACKSHEWALLY he's done at least four runs around 3:30
>>571012880what is the proper setup and tablets for farming them?
>>571013235according to fubgun, they're tied to waystone drop rate
Why does this fag cling to guythatdies to cope about the campaign? Nobody cares about some speedrunning sped. Wading through shit for four hours instead of five or six doesn't make it any better.
my alt can't enter any interlude zones but my main can wtf
>>571013356Strange, I'll put that in my notes
>campaign is a slog that we need a skip button>there's nothing else to do in the endgame after doing the post-campaign quest

I have never skipped dialogues in Act IV.
>>571011656Yeah they gotta be bugged. You get more from just doing the strongbox normally.
I skip every dialogue in Act IV.
I skip some dialog in act IV
I listen to all the dialogue to hear the back and forth banter in act IV
I skip all dialogues in all acts and interludes, new endgame stuff I read

>>571014901nothing wrong with thatit's funny in its own right when you hear something
>>571014872Campaign skip would be for your second playthrough ideally, not the first. Your second playthrough of the campaign is already trivialized by twink gear. It's just a braindead experience at the moment. I don't see why people even defend it.
>>571014508mobalytics for full build guides, or go to poe.ninja and look up your skills and see what other players are usingset max level to like 80 or 70 to see more affordable options, above that people tend to have lineage supports or expensive/obtuse items/interactions
I just fucking parried napuatzi out of one of her chaos rains and she landed outside the guards to now just throw projectiles at mewhat a cunt
>>571015048the freedom to choose is against god
>>571015048it is trivial, and you need to level up anyway. and you would have the same twink gear with or without a campaign skip. there isn't level scaling so it's not like you would be running around doing fun content at level 1, you would be doing level 1 content.
>running map>nothing can hurt me>random enemy spits at me with the most basic and unnoticeable animation ever>YOU HAVE DIEDwhy does this game not have death recap so you know what the FUCK just happened
>>571015718what are your defenses
>so you admit the campaign has no meaning outside of your first, fresh playthrough each league>let's expedite this boring, trivial process>F-Fuck you! Git gud! REEEEE Muh streamer!
>>571015741defenses against what, anon
is there still no option to skip the fuckin campaign after your first character?
>>571016020no and dont bring it up because it causes bitter trannies to seethe
>>571015909need the entire picture
>>571015745ggg aren't going to give you a diablo 4 style campaign skip where you afk while the game throws everything at your feet. do you want you wander around poe2 maps with a level 1 character and a level 1 build? because that is what you are asking for.
>>571016074>do you want you wander around poe2 maps with a level 1 character and a level 1 build? because that is what you are asking for.genuinely yes
why not just skip the entire game and fuck off
things are getting STINKY
>>571016074>do you want you wander around poe2 maps with a level 1 character and a level 1 build?sounds legitimately fun? build your character from lv1 to lv100 just fucking around in the atlas and having the game, world and map grow with you>but muh award winning campaign storyfuck off
>>571016073unfortunately the game doesn't tell you...
>>571016074I wouldn't mind it. It'd feel more dynamic and you'd have more agency than running the same campaign over and over. Letting Delve be an alternate leveling process would also be kino. You can do that in PoE already, but you still have to go through the campaign for passive points and to unlock the atlas which kinda defeats the purpose.
>>571016254what stinker enemy was itwhat were the map modswhat are your defenses/resit's not too hard to conclude something based off this
It is actually kind of stupid that you're giving this insanely huge map that only NEETs could finish after hitting like level 70 instead of letting you explore from the start and going wherever YOU want instead of repeating the same shitty campaign nobody (that actually plays the game) likes
>>571016179>build your character from lv1 to lv100 just fucking around in the atlas and having the game, world and map grow with youyeah except mapping is garbage, there is no world it's just a buggy interface with separate instances, nothing actually grows because maps when you start are the same as maps when you end.
>>571016313>what stinker enemy was itAre you hard of reading? I just said, the game doesn't tell you
>>571016338Because they built the game around the GARBAGE campaign and not the atlas/maps systemIf you started at level 1 and maps just progressively went up in level, difficulty and rarity then it'd be so much fucking better and we'd have infinitely more freedom on how to play
>>571016417only level scaling is awful and it ruins games like this. just look at diablo 4, it's the perfect example of how not to make an arpg. coincidentally it's what you retards are asking ggg to do.
do you actually have to run the whole ascension trial unascended to respec?gonna be a real pain going from varashta to chrono if so
>>571016412you seethat's where there's a bit of a skill issue alreadywhen you spawn in a map you get certain enemy types and you should take note of that if your defenses aren't perfectly well-rounded, especially running high damage modsgranted a few can catch you off guard, but some things are pretty nasty
>>571016530>gonna be a real pain going from varashta to chrono if soWhy, varashta is strong af, you shouldn't struggle with Sekhema's even with very middling gear.
>>571016530there's a change ascendency in the end just pay for the respec gold
>>571016530no, you have to run to the amount of points you have i.e. if you have 8 you need to beat zarokh or trialmaster, then you unspec all your points there and respecI assume something is there for trialmaster, I don't remember, but balbala does it for you after zarokh
>>571016417>and not the atlas/maps systemthe atlas/maps system is garbage>If you started at level 1 and maps just progressively went up in level, difficulty and rarity then it'd be so much fucking better and we'd have infinitely more freedom on how to playhaha yeah "freedom", for example the freedom to do the same exact map layouts over and over again for 5 months, with literally nothing to break up this monotonous garbage, just mapping, haha find the map boss and kill it, find the map boss and kill it, find the map boss and kill it, find the map boss and kill it,
>>571016530No, but you gotta run the trial that gives as many points as you have now (if you have 8 - you need to run a trial that gives 8 points). Also you only need to kill the first boss, after that you can already switch the ascendancy at Balbala.
>>571016637woa after the first? that's trivial
>>571016535>when you spawn in a map you get certain enemy typesbut which one killed me, it doesn't say, you fucking flog
>trust me bro the build gets going 100 hours and 80 div inI'm so tired of this
BIG STINK
>>571016690alright manso what defensive type are youeva? es? armour?do you have low res somewhere
poe2 players have battered wife syndrome
>>571015383the problem with the campaign is all of the extra unnecessary time it adds to leveling through all the RP stuff, the side quests for passives and needing to find the exit through every zone. These provide nothing of value the tenth time through, it just slows you down.Also if we were able to go directly into maps, you can actually have fun with leveling uniques and use their interesting interactions because you have more potential to juice content with the atlas tree. Otherwise these uniques don't really do much because everything dies so quickly in the campaign it doesn't matter. I would unquestionably play the game more and level more than a single character every season and have fun with weird builds while leveling if I didn't have to go through the slow campaign where everything is one hit anyways.
no one has ever been able to explain the difference between campaign and mapping (there is none)
Campaign skip will never happen. Period. Now shut up. But who am I kidding, this 700lbs hairless gorilla will continue shitting up the thread because he can and will keep doing so because Hiroshima "Muh hands off approach" Nagasaki thinks that's a good thing.
Just like WASD will never happen.
>>571016927the campaign doesn't use the atlas tree to be able to manipulate the difficultycheckmate athiests
I genuinely believe the POE2 campaign doesn't need a skip, the campaign is well-done and worth replaying. Even in this patch that supposedly fixed the endgame, you get a better sense of character progression in the campaign than in maps for the most part.It only needs two things: it needs to stop getting easier (the Jamanra nerf was unnecessary), and it needs more gems, especially at lower levels.The POE1 campaign does need a skip (unlockable and maybe as a consumable, limited item) because it's unfixably boring and power crept out of relevance. Even on a fresh start HCSSF it's too easy and everyone does it on autopilot with almost no gear, while POE2's always has important itemization choices.
>>571016923>RP stuff, the side quests for passivesno different than league mechanics, but much more rewarding>needing to find the exit through every zoneliterally the same as finding the boss>juice contentliterally just sprint ahead to a zone x levels higher than youthe absolute state of campaign doomies
I wanna make a new character. Recommend me some builds.I already have a wolf druid and martia artist in this league
>>571017207>skip the campaign to make it hardernice argument dumbass
>>571017130I don't want to play the campaign, I don't like it, I like maps. Let me map from level 1. If you don't want to, don't, you can replay the campaign you enjoy so much. Tell me how this is a negative thing.
>>571017256disengage parry something
>>571017304first run the clearfell mapthen run the grelwood mapthen run the red vale map
>>571017304well it takes dev time away so they can cater to your desires for oneor are you expecting to play level 65 maps as a level 1also they need to design the start to waste your time so you don't have an uneven advantage in starting the atlas earlier once they do that, collecting your points and all
>>571017304>Tell me how this is a negative thingI don't think it is, I just don't think it's necessary for POE2. I wouldn't be up in arms if they added it.>>571017397>well it takes dev time away so they can cater to your desires for oneThat's a dumb take. POE has all the systems needed to make mapping from 1 possible. You simply create more tiers of maps, and each zone scales with level the way the base game already does in the campaign, and drops appropriate level items. It doesn't require any huge changes.
>>571016571>>571016574>>571016604>>571016682i just finished the campaign as varashta, i have only 2 ascendancy pointsso i can go blast a 3-floor sekhema WITH kelari still specced all the way through, then at the very end, unspec him, switch to chrono, and come out with 6 points?
>>571017692ye
>>571017712nice
>>571017304>>571017359that's it lads... we heckin solved itIntegrate the campaign into the atlas! When you hit the end game, the atlas rewrites into its current end game form. Each zone you can see where it is exactly in the world as you do it, Each zone is as it is in the campaign each boss it where it is, but it all benefits from atlas passives.and after you beat the campaign once a season, the RP and quest item interactions and such can all be skipped
>>570969617TRVKE. Tradesissies will never understand how much better the game is without tradecheating
>>570969617SSF is fun because it keeps things challenging since you can't just cheat in OP gear at will.too bad we can't have fun with cool uniques AND allow the campaign to be challenging that would totally suck and not mesh with the vision.
>>571017256chink gemling buildhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLUTxxrjPzI
>>571016943That's fine. Just forcing people like you to acknowledge that leveling on a twink build is meaningless drivel is enough of a victory to me.
>>571017935well no you can'tbecause the campaign is already a pushover without uniques and just a walkling simulator with good ones
how much stun threshold do you need with CI? i can't tell if i'm getting stunned or frozen or double tapping dodge and getting knocked down
>>571017935>SSF is fun because you take 50 hours to make one useful piece of gear and you'll never have build defining uniques
>>571018330SSF is fun because you're playing the actual arpg instead of playing the marketRETARD
>>571018051>>571018330You guys entirely missed the point of the postYou see, I was not actually advocating for SSF exactly, but merely the added difficultyplease understand
>>571018060You will always get stunned as an EScuck. Only armorchads stacking life will ignore stuns.
What the fuck have they done to these two? I remember them being really difficult, taking forever to kill. This build sucks at single target right now too.
>>571018443I prefer to not trade, but i also like to be able to buy certain items/uniques to try out things.Normally i only start trading when i hit endgame.
>>571018060You will get stunned with literally every single hit if you're CI since every single hit will deal greater than 30% of 1 hp.
>she'll never know the feeling of logging in to a fresh stack of divs and then going shopping for upgradesDepressing...
The divine league thing really sounded like a ragnarok rebirth stuff. I wish they'd did it as some silly event but then gave lots of +experience gimmicks or something for the lols.
>>571017256brutus lead sprinkler tactician
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKIN SNAKESON THIS MOTHERFUCKIN ABYSS
>>571018060I have CI and the only source of stun threshold/recovery I have is from Abasement notable and I don't get stunned enough that I ever really think about it, even as kinda melee (WA/FT). But I also have 60%~ evasion.Maybe if you were using maces or flails it might suck dick idk. I use falling thunder without any AS modifiers so it's slow as fuck, but I can do that out of melee range, which I usually do.
Is this droprate normal? I have zero Collarbones. Just running alch and go t15 with 2 random abyss tablets while I fill out my Atlas points.>>571018950Yeah their immunity shit blows. Abyss would be 10x as fun if they didn't have that dumb immunity thing.
>>571018579powercreep in gear is all
>>570969617SSF is good right now crafting is kinda shit at the very high end but mid end is good and most builds pop off at this point with a mid endgame setupActually taught me how to play vs both arbiters

>>571021050Is it one of the atlas quest missions?Yeah they're bugged. If you cark it against the bosss you have to return to hideout and restart the map.That's probably somewhat abusable if anyone can be bothered doing it, since you could usue it to farm hive strongholds, I suppose.
>>570969617>its so much fun to play SSFno it's not, you have to be more of a meta cuck in ssf and you're extremely limited to what builds you can play since many cool fun builds are gated by uniques or arbitrary conditionals. shut up faggot.

just started ssf and got this from the rust king. this chest is insane right? I'm not gonna change this until interludes and even then I can upgrade this somehow to a higher level no? make it have more armour?
anyone abusing temporalis + blink needs to be permanently banned. good job on GGG and the faggots using that for ruining the league.
>thread still not pruned after i wake upyep, league's dead.....
>>571023579>barely any fucking armour>no HP>10 elemental res isnt even that much>no regen>shit stats >no damage conversionits fucking awful. Maybe only really good for act 1. Then drop it for a chest piece with a fuck ton more res, hp, regen and armour assuming you are only going armour and hp with no ES or evasion
>>571023579>150% armour applies to elemental damagewhat armour lol
>>571023579150 Armour applies to ele dmg is good but you'll actually need a lot of Armour, and it's hard to get a lot of Armour wearing that thing.
is life regeneration always just a dead stat? I've never even considered playing a build that uses it
There's just too much going on at once during Arbiter of Ash phase two.>you can only stand in this one little circle or you instantly die>but i will also beam or slam it at the same time so you also instantly dieWhat the fuck is this shit?
>>571023579that's the fun of SSFyou have to make it work, you don't have any better options :)
>>571023928Regen x% of max health is really strong if you stack them.
>>571023928you can get good regen but you need to fully commit to only armour and get a fuck ton of regenenergy shield is just too good and you could also just use flasks for your HP but i still think a decent amount of res is good unless you are going full on ESitll sadly never be as broken as poe 1 life gen
>>571023983it is really hard to tell what youre supposed to do the first time you do that boss. but you are supposed to dodge out of the circle and then quickly run back in when he start comboing shit since he doesnt actually do them at the same time.
>>571023579It's ok but ele damage in the campaign is mostly very manageable and actual armour helps you more. I wouldn't get married to it.
>>571023923but I can upgrade it to a higher level with the league mechanic no? or is that something else?
>>571024007>you have to make it work, you don't have any better options :)i only play SSF and its pretty easy to eventually find a good chest piece if you check vendor, gamble and pick up loot obviouslyI honestly dont get this. Do tradies really trade during the campaign? Fucking why?
>>571024108It's still bad after upgrading
I'm rerolling ssf twister lich, see you tradies next league
>>571024173Gambling for your own items is a dark pattern.

>>571023579it upgrades but only to ~500, while a decent endgame rare armour can hit 3k+
>>571024227okay so it will be perfectly fine until I reach interludes, still good enough, an equipment slot I don't have to worry about until I get to end game bases.

>>571011454>>571013161I'd say 5 hours with leveling gear is achievable for people who know the game but it is kinda tiring to play at that pace in my experience. Doing 5 hours or less without leveling gear requires some true dedication and knowledge of the game. You need to be able to make gear and build decisions in seconds, know the zone generation and have a fool proof solution for boss fights that takes care of them quickly.
can someone explain the herald of ice armour break chain tech for me? I don't wanna watch a fagtuber or go on reddit.
>>571014442it's a squishy ass build that costs hundreds of divs to set up

>>571016604>no, you have to run to the amount of points you have i.e. if you have 8 you need to beat zarokh or trialmaster, then you unspec all your points there and respecFalse. I respecced this league in a 1 boss chaos trial.
>>571025720it's a negative feedback loop for people who hate it, they only run it a few times so they don't know the layouts, they get lost, they fuck around in town, afk, etc.people who don't care one way or the other just do it when they want to try something new and gradually learn the layouts and get faster.i've been playing poe1 with a friend for 8-9 years, that fucker takes a day and a half to get through the campaign because he only plays one build a league.
>>571025957i have no idea if it actually works, but the way i understood it is that herald of ice explosion cant freeze whatever it hits. But if you armour break and armour explosions on herald of ice. the herald of ice explosion can break armour and subsequently explode. And those armour explosion can freeze which can then in turn cause more herald of ice explosions.thats the theory but i dont know if it works lol
>>571017973they really need to stop oil grenade interacting with all ignites because of this shit somehow it is never the incendiary shot oil grenade combo that is the good one it's always some faggy ass spell you gotta abuse with the oil grenade
>>571019063collarbones are way more rare
>>571026234>somehow it is never the incendiary shot oil grenade combowhat's stopping you? do you know how hard incendiary shot hits on targets with riven armour?people are doing this because it's cool and neat (uses 2 alternate qualities to good effects). it's not the biggest ignite you can get by any stretch.
>>571023579It is quite good for leveling yes. Make sure the rest of your slots are armor gear and upgrade it at 38 on the anvil.
>>570994079An invitation is like a couple exalt anyways if you don't have any.

campaign skips is such a fucking meme. youre retarded if you want campaign skips fr
>>571026234crossbow skills are flexible for doing combos likegas grenades and flame wall lolsiege cascade and frost wall lmao
>>571026712i always quit the game 1-2 hours after reaching endgame
>>571023928>>571024014>>571024062Regen being hard to invest in is by design because ggg doesn't want us to have sustain on life builds. We don't even have any base regen which is stupid.
>>571026821that seems like a you problem though
i don't need life regeni need love
so I boughted the Geforce Now ultimate ting, it’s amazing

>>571018950>>571019063Then roll with Ulaman in the tree. No snake cunts sitting in their fart clouds like a reddit moderator, but a whole lot less good omens.
>>571026952what the fuck does anything i said have to do with diablo lol
>>571026952i've never heard a compelling argument for a campaign skip.>it personally takes me a long timeisn't a valid reason for a game to skip a massive chunk of progression.
>>571026123I have some friends who go fast and others who are slow like that. For myself it depends. I find it that it is easiest to go fast when I'm blasting with my fast friends. If I'm going solo I tend to lose focus, start tweaking the build and experiment with stuff.Really there's no wrong way to play the game as long as you enjoy it. I don't have an issue with the campaign itself as I find the gameplay fun. The complaint I have is that a lot of stuff comes available way too late. You're already at maps when you get level 14 spirit gems and level 13 skills don't come that much earlier than that. Campaign is very restrictive in that sense. Many cool uniques have even higher level requirements.
>>571026378pretty sure flameblast is the biggest ignite in this patch >for incendiary shot to do damage you gotta>curse flammability>break armor>shoot hvr at boss>shoot rapid shot to generate heat>lay down your oil grenade>shoot it with incendiary shot and hope for a high roll >if you low roll the ignite repeat the whole process because the debuffs fell off lmao
>>571027230>i've never heard a compelling argument for a campaign skip.player agency in choosing the content they wanna do is always a good thing, as long as it doesn't undermine the game for others somehow. POE1's success largely hinges on player agency and the ability to do whatever the fuck they like.A campaign skip has no negatives if it's limited. It lets players spend more time doing what they like (maps) and less time doing what they don't like.>it personally takes me a long timewhen you don't want to do something, even if it takes only 1h, that's still too much.for the record I like POE2's campaign and if there was a skip I wouldn't use it much.I would use it almost 100% of the time in POE1 tho.
WHAT ARE THESE MAGGOTSthey always come up and refuse to take any damage
>>571027481you should run the numbers before opining. I didn't mention rapid shot for a reason.
>the boss' one shot bullshit indicator didn't rendernice game nice game
>they decreased the total attack timer of rolling slop so it's harder to do the stun prep into boneshatter combo but left sunder and earthshatter untouched with their heinous attack speedanyone who tells me ggg is not malicious towards their player base is just a straight up faggot nigger.
>>571027707imagine unironically playing melee when you can press spark once and clear the entire screen.
>>571027576look at its health bar, it means: kill the mobs they spawned then you can hurt it
>>571027707Earthshatter isn't that slow when you scale attack speed, the main problem is that it will bug out on terrain and you'll have stupid deaths to your rocks failing to spawn because an abyss spawned in a small corridor.I refuse to play sunder until they remove the gay little jump. It could have 10x the damage and come out instantly, and I wouldn't use it.On the topic of maces, it frustrates me how using the default attack is the most sensible thing to do for most of the campaign, or sometimes most of the game. Could they have not put in one fucking nice non-default skill in there to use as a generic spammable attack?Imagine if we had something fast and nice like armour breaker, but as an actual attack skill and not meme utility.
>>571027838>look at its health bar >literally zero explanation for what any of the stuff means >can't even hover over the mods to see what they do dogshit game either way, I killed everything in the area, still takes no damage
holds up sp*rk
>>571028194>I killed everything in the areayou didnt.
>>571028063the retarded sunder jump is because it was designed to be a pay off skill that is used on bosses only with fully broken armour.I have no hope for maces if they do not completely rework them for 1.0 and remove all these retarded conditionals.sunder can have the animation of earthshatter and that can be perfectly fine. they are not releasing swords and axes because they know the moment those weapons are out no one and I do mean no one will ever use maces in their current state.
>>571028194just uninstall if you lack basic critical thinking skills
>>571021487>muh unique conditionalsSSFchads aren't following some braindead metacuck build guide you retarded mouthbreathing tradetranny. they adapt on the fly, something completely foreign to your smoothbrain perception of reality.
Just don't make me do Expedition JonathanPleaseDon't be that evil
>>571028372Speaking of Expedition, anyone else feel like the mode needs a complete overhaul? Placing the bombs is fucking cancer and takes too long and removing Rog gambling and Tujen currency vendor kinda makes the mode feel empty and anemic. Feels unfinished compared to Ritual, Breach, Abyss etc
>>571028285>the retarded sunder jump is because it was designed to be a pay off skill that is used on bosses only with fully broken armour.I don't have a problem with skills being slow, I have a problem with skills looking stupid and uncool. Give me a DMC-style taunt button and I'll press it, I don't mind slowing down. Just don't make it lame.>I have no hope for macesMe neither, and desu I'm kind of disappointed in their output of skills. All weapon systems end up having very few "real", playable skills, and maces suffer from this the worst because the skills are either comboslop or feel atrocious to use because of animations or mechanics.As you said it, a full rework is needed. They need to delete all mace skills and start over, with lessons they learned so far. If any mace skill felt half as good as Rend I wouldn't ever bitch.
What is there to do after you get your headhunter
>>571028893you go for temporalis + blink + spark the only endgame build in the game.

>>571027838I always assumed that the healthbar means it has wardI completely ignored this mechanic because whenever I encounter enemies that don't die instantly, I gas the entire area and wait for everything to die
>>571029619it is ward, i'm pretty sure he's full of shit. whenever a mob has that i just kill it even harder and it dies

Is not being able to use tablets on the Jamanra citadel not a bug? They haven't mentioned it at all and we're in week 3.
>>571030565im guessing its because the map gen cant deal with league content. i had a summoning circle there once and the entire cart it was on was just missing lol
Unlocking all the atlas points takes way too long and I'm supposed to do it every single league? We seriously need an atlas progression skip. Otherwise, the game is just dead on arrival.
>>571030514I said 3 for a reason, but I like how you think I won't notice you saying blatantly wrong shit because you think I'll get distracted by you implying I'm poor or unaware of how to scale damage.This is why I told you to do the math yourself, I know what you are.
>>571030779its called killing the arbiter of divinity you dumb fuck havent you even played the game?
>>571030837>doesn't post the math because he hasn't done it
>>571030779>do arbiter of divinity a total of 5 times>entire tree unlockedjust buy the cores

>>571031241>if I try to distract him enough maybe he'll forget I bluffed and said something patently wrong
>>571031406im playing ssf
Are there any uniques to help with a Slam/Fire build?
>>571031804yeah
>>571030779Everything about the atlas tree is complete shit. Who even cares about unlocking all the points?
>>571031236I've played the game more than anyone here. There are more trees than just the main atlas tree. I'm telling you it's going to get boring and people will quit for good.>>571031406>you don't need a campaign/atlas skip, just buy carries for the bossesIf they want you to skip the content, why can't they just do it automatically after you've done it once instead of having to beg for other players to do it for you every league?
>>571031804Chernobog's pillar is pretty good if you're warbringer.Thrillsteel/constricting command are mandatory on maces imo.
>>571031914I've never played POE1/2 really before, so I made my own build It's shit and I wanted to see if I can get something to make me move a little faster. Killing and staying alive isn't bad, but I am so slow. So very slow movement wise.
>>571031914>a world where THRILLST is mandatoryWhat a time to be alive.
>>571031896>we should remove progression from this game all about progression!!!!!!!
>>571031521>he made a false claim and fell back on "math it urself" cope when he was called out on itflameblast has been proven to break dot cap now you have to come up with proof if you want your claim to be true
>>571032146youre lying i never said that
genshin stream in 3 minutes and you indians are still crying about atlas points or whatever smdh
all the skip retards need to skip the game entirely and fuck off already
>>571032298nice edit
nyo
>>571032409i demand a skip for this post
>>571032146>flameblast has been proven to break dot capDot cap has not been achieved with mechanics that still exist in the game.>you have to come up with proofI don't have to come up with shit, play what you like, I'm just telling you that you're fucking stupid if you think a spell is gonna have a higher ignite than an attack with 7 different scalers that compound your weapon damage and multiply x14 on gemling. But go live in your alternate reality where you're "forced" to use Flameblast lmao.
>>571032409You were doing this 2 years ago when you were saying async trade is bad, and you lost.It's just a matter of time until you lose this one too. GGG has walked back way more fundamental things than no campaign skip.Enjoy being perpetually on the wrong side of history, retarded pedo brownoid.
>>571032621>But go liveyou watch to many streamers bro. go live? what the fuck does that even mean yyou want me to stream how good flameblast is for you?
>>571032064You can't make any meaningful progress until you have all the atlas points unless it's the first day of the league. If every atlas points gives just 2% more value to the maps, then someone farming with full atlas makes 1.02^350(=1000) times more money than you
This world must be purged
>>571032749nah you are a newfag and you need to rope yourself
>>571032621>Dot cap has not been achieved with mechanics that still exist in the game.but it has with flameblast alt qualitythe issue is really that bosses are too weak and die to the hit it does before it gets to ignite them>I'm just telling you that you're fucking stupid if you think a spell is gonna have a higher ignite than an attack with 7 different scalers that compound your weapon damage and multiply x14 on gemlingnow this is a claim that you make but it needs proofI'm not seeing anyone break the dotcap with attacks
>>5710318960.5 was getting the endgame ready for the 1.0 launch, once they start adding more leagues and expansions the current endgame will get truncated. as far as trees go, ggg give zero fucks about atlas passive trees and will probably redo it 10 times over the next 3 years.
brother, the atlas tree is complete dogshit outside of effectiveness and rare modifiers.
>>571032757calm down, have a banana
>the queen in Ritual crashes my game every time>can't disable/respec it
>>571032773youre so right bro. and while were at we should also take a look at builds that are stronger than mine. considering they are much much faster we should make sure to equalize the gear so that everyone has the same speed. cant have progression in this game!!!
>>571032851You tried this 6 times now and it failed every single time, how many will it take?
>>571033084I'm not trying anythingyou are making a claim and failing to back it up with proof
>>571032836>doesn't even deny being a brown pedoman how am I always right
>>571033192You are trying to make me ignore the obvious lie about flameblast dot cap in 0.5. If you're a bad liar, try telling the truth more.
>>571033398it's not a lie though
>>571033009Picking your build is a skill and not a boring grind. There SHOULD be bad noob trap builds and insane clearing builds, as it's part of the game's skill expression. I picked the top meta build (ice shot deadeye) and still got left behind because I didn't clear the campaign and atlas fast enough since I don't have time to play 20 hours a day
>>571032749retard
>>571033440If it wasn't a lie, you would post a clip or pob and call me a retard.It is a lie, so you have nothing to post. All you can do is deflect, pilpul and distract.You're trying to save face after you bitched that you're forced to use a certain skill, and I told you that you're not.If you cared about using a different skill, you would run the numbers like I told you and realize I'm telling you the objective truth. You only want to bitch and don't care about the game though, so you're here trying to obfuscate.
did anyone ever actually argue async trade was bad?struggle to think of people who enjoyed dealing with all the shit people use to pull with whispers, it's just there were some economy doomers
>>571033837>did anyone ever actually argue async trade was bad?Chris
all trade is bad, ssf is the real game
>>571033873ah rightthe friction
>>571033837>>571033885its only bad as long as ssf existsthey can never design the game balance around both
>>571033837>did anyone ever actually argue async trade was bad?Yep, half the thread normally, especially before the idea was actually announced and people were calling trade bad and saying it needs to be improved. You would often get responses like>filtered lol, how can anyone get filtered by trade>async trade will ruin the game/economy because gear will be too easy to get (which was already the case)>async trade will ruin the game because of bots (non-async trade had regular bots for bulk currency trade, I loved them because they always responded)>blizzard has an auction house so that means it's bad
>>571032968I hate that its one of the worst bosses to shove in the tiny arena. They couldn't take the day to make a unique queen of the mists?
>>571033568>Picking your build is a skillThat is the most faggoty fucking thing I've ever read, you are utterly disconnected from realityPicking a build should be FUN. You should be able to go "i want to be a cool wizard guy who casts lightning bolts" and that should be fucking competitive, instead of doing 0.01x the dps of a a martial autist with 1/100th the clear speed of a plantsissy and 1% of the survivability of a 10k ES CI witch
>>571033958they should have done it sooner. the trade site already removed the "vison" friction of only trading for things you really needed. the only friction left was the minigame of spamming afk people.
>>571033873He was right. ASYNC slop killed player retention.
>>571034145>and that should be fucking competitiveI'm not the guy you're arguing with, but that's an impossible ask. It's a lofty goal they should always sorta strive for as a principle, but it'll never be the reality of the game. Certain skills will always be better than others.The game currently is easy and undertuned enough that you can play any goofy archetype and make it good with varying levels of investment, so I don't know where the core of your complaint even comes from.
>>571034191Chris was right about everything. Always has been. Watching him play Project Diablo was enlightening.
hot takea game is too easy if anything but literally a few autists can play it on hardcore, and I think that there isn't enough randomization in what the game throws at you for a game like poe if someone ever feels comfortable playing on hc
>>571034145>Picking a build should be FUN. You should be able to go "i want to be a cool wizard guy who casts lightning bolts"You can do that but you shouldn't be rewarded for it. I'm one of the top gold players on LoL, and if you tried to pick a non-meta champ in my lobby, you'd get bullied into dodging
is the league dead no one is buying anymore
this tower is fuckinh six maps away lol
>>571034712>if someone ever feels comfortable playing on hcI don't think anyone really does, POE2 is loaded with bullshit and bugs and bosses tripping out. The only reason people feel comfortable is that they're essentially fine with rerolling at any time.I kind of like POE1 HC but I don't play it much in 2 because I can't handle tens of hours of my time hinging on rolling wrong once. POE1 HC was definitely much less of a skill check, outside of a few bosses.
>>571027576They have monster ward that doesn't go away until you kill everyone else.

>>571038149each mode has a slightly different focustrade - minmax your income through any means so you can get your next upgradehc - try to minmax your income within reason so you don't die, item scarcity means you sometimes have to go out of your way to create certain things more oftenssf - unique reliant builds are locked out until you do extensive farming, you have to do farm the here's and there's you need to make -potential- upgrades such as your omens and abyssal currencies, if you want a unique time to go farm ritual or x activityssfhc - everything in ssf but now you have to do it on a solid build with good defenses and keep a lot of pieces as backup
>>571038121Same, I tried maces, crossbows and druid but none of them have really stuck out to me. I've heard good things about wyvern so I'm thinking that will be my final attempt to try out the league.

>>571039049im not playing ssf so your claim is wrong
Some of these act 3 zones have got me wanting to drop the game
>>571038857This is a good summary but the only thing I'd say is that you have some agency in terms of how you play trade and how much you minmax (or don't).The pressure to minmax income and keep up with the curve doesn't exist unless you create it for yourself. You can just choose "poverty" and play the game like SSF with an extra unique vendor.The game currently isn't hard enough to punish you for being inefficient so you can't really meaningfully "fall behind" even if you start very late or fuck around, all the content is still blastable so it's not like it's "unviable" to choose to be an economic idiot.
>>571038121I finally settled on SSF infernalist elementalist and am getting better output than any of my previous builds. Got a pyrophyte staff in act 3 that gives +4 to all fire spells.

>>571044385>any recommendationsFor build or farm?
>>571037116does anyone even use staff? i'm trying to make ravens work but losing +levels in both weapon slots is so fucking bad
>>571044385the game is about solving your defenses, your damage and your clear speed somewhat in that order. don't try being a fancy cunt and trying some weird off-class shit. just use the GGG mandated weapon and figure out interesting skill combos
>>571044385youre looking at it the wrong way, a lot of those guides still apply to ssf>guide for a profit craftyou make the item the same way in ssf except you have to pick up bases and transmute / aug / alch / whatever them yourself instead of buying them from the trade site>farming stratyou wont be able to copy the exact tablet setup, especially if it needs rare mods like ritual tablets with +rerolls, but you can still copy the general idea of the strategy
>>571044385if you want advice for spear I can give you that muchbut what >>571044895 said is pretty much how you are meant to play the game in any capacitypeople fixate on trying to find funny nuances, especially content creators when you'll naturally run into them just playing a weapon's skills then realizing what the interactions are
>>571031896I don't think GGG necessarily expects you to do all the mechanic trees every time, or at least all up-front, since using tablets blocks other content you can just go all in on one or two mechanics you actually care about and ignore the rest
>>571045309they've been on the record many times as saying they don't expect everyone to do every mechanic every league/resetespecially as they start adding more and more and intend to push certain leagues further from the center so you have to travel farther
