Is there a way to change which IGN shows for my items on poe.trade? I went to the PoE site and made my Talisman character the one that displays in the top-left, but my account page and poe.trade items still showcase my old Darkshrine character. Actually, what happens if someone tries to whisper my Darkshrine IGN when I'm playing Talisman? Do I see it anyway?

When poe.trade sees that you're logged in, it usually changes the character name to the one you're online with. And all whispers to any of your characters are sent to your account anyway, so it doesn't really matter. I imagine changing your default character on the PoE forums would change what it displays when you're offline though.

I hadn't played for almost two years after initially digging into the game back in February 2014; back then I beat normal difficulty with a witch and then a scion and wandered off from it. I recently wandered back and decided to tackle Hardcore for the first time, making a ranger--and last night I cleared Dominus and then Voll so far. Main trouble is, I have absolutely no idea still what all really changed over the two years and have not dug terribly deep under the hood for mechanics; now that I am going up against content I haven't done before and have hankerings to try and make the full tour through merciless while remaining on Hardcore, I thought it might be best to swing by here and see if there's suggestions / tips / insights etc. that might be had. I suspect that I'm nowhere near being optimal with how I'm rolling so far given that I've mostly been playing it by ear and haven't gone out of my way yet to gear up / get a particular ability combo going. I have generally been focusing on getting my damage up as much as possible at range while relying on decoy totem to keep things off my rear end as I hose enemies with rain of arrows / caustic arrow / split shot. Here is where I'm currently at skill-wise at level 37. I use split arrow with lesser multiple projectiles and caustic arrow with physical projectile attack damage + life leech alternatively. I run around with hatred and herald of ice running and generally seem to blow through enemies without much trouble, but when I grouped up with folks for Dominus & the dried lake I was watching them melt things dramatically faster than me. I've got a Karui Ward and Wondertrap for uniques I'd stumbled across, so my move speed is 40% ish increased; I've also managed to luck into a few rare gear combos that give me big boosts to my elemental damage. Basically I'd like to make sure that I'm not diving down irreparable bungles in my passive tree / direction if my intention is to remain survivable and quick meandering into the higher difficulties on Hardcore for the first time. I've got the 40% dodge and 30% spell dodge passives and a mix of increased damage + increased health generally across the board so far.

Before coming back in September the last time I had played was before scion was released. Just pick a cheap build from the OF build guides that looks fun and you'll figure the rest out as you play. Or ask your questions in guild chat.

GaistHeidegger posted:Too much information. You need to look at ranger build guides on the forum and find the one thats cheap and also close to what you spent your points on already. You are going to completely gimp yourself especially in merc difficulty if you don't start following a proven guide. Merc is like running into a wall for first time characters. edit: you can buy a twink bow or three for 1 chaos on poe.trade, you should do so immediately, 1c= 16alch or chrom so you easily have enough currency to buy a cheap unique leveling bow. You can also find cheap low level 5 link armors for the same price, but you probably need to pay 20 alts if you don't have any chaos. Quality gems in the 10% range are generally not that expensive either and an easy way to give yourself more punch. Washout fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Appreciated; I seem to be fairly close to Neversink's ranger build, buuuut I also hosed up and tagged Alira for the bandit I helped in normal. Is 40 extra base health vs. the mana a big enough gently caress up that I should scuttle over or is it less of a big deal in the big picture? Apart from that I have 90% the same picks they seemed to implement but I took a different detour that is a net of about 8 nodes they never scooped; they're all additional damage rather than health. Bah. Edit: vvvv That's handy to know, thanks. GaistHeidegger fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Keep in mind that the cost of obtaining 20 orbs of regret might outweigh the option of just starting over. The bandit repick option is meant to be a last resort. Anyway, is there any good guides for pricing out there? I've managed to gather quite a collection of semi-useful items on Talisman HC, and I wouldn't mind turning some of it into currency, since while browsing the "shops" on the official forums, I see things that are seemingly worse than the stuff I've got in the stash with buyout prices of 15c or more.

Go to http://poe.trade/ Search for an item with slightly worse relevant stats (you need to know what the relevant stats are on an item, like life, resists) Sort by cheapest. Now you can see what people are asking for items that are slightly worse than your item. Your item is probably not worth more than that. You also have to use your judgment and ignore outliers. If everyone is selling for 2ex except one listing at 3alt, it's probably worth 2ex and not 3alt.

You'll learn with time and also because you'll have bought said gear for what you're playing. If you truly don't know just search on poe.trade and under shoot the stats from what you have and see what other people have and price accordingly.

You can craft a mace with level 1 blood magic baked in, giving you an effective 7 link. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vagan,_Weaponmaster It tends to be less necessary given the mana cost changes, but if you want to be able to fully reserve your mana it can be quite strong. It is worth noting that http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hezmana%27s_Bloodlust now also exists on the axe side of things.

On the note of staves, alot of people like to craft +3 fire gems and supported by L1 blood magic, which also lets them 7-link their summon raging spirits.

They most recent additions to the Dev Q&A clarified poison a bit more. Most stuff is as was believed, but area damage will not double dip when you're using an area skill to deliver poison. Poison is always considered single target effect on each mob. Incidentally, this is true of all degen effects unless they are specifically affecting an area (Caustic Arrow's cloud, Fire Trap's burning ground, probably Ele Prolif since it originates from the corpse, etc.). So you can't double dip area damage on ignites from Flameblast, for example. Lot of good clarification and questions answered about recent changes: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1528287

Is spark totem still decent? I really enjoyed playing it back in the day, but not sure if I don't see it much because of how old it is or if it's no longer viable.

sporking got nerfed, settled into a decent-but-not-great equilibrium for a while, and selfcasting started improving past it. Totems can't use Spell Echo. Totems can't trigger, conversely, triggers mean that selfcasting doesn't cost you the ability to cast utility spells. Totems can't use Herald effects. Reflect got nerfed hard, removing one of the attractions of totems. The benefit of rapidly stacking Shock got nerfed. Shotgunning got taken out entirely. I suspect a spell totem build today would not use Spark, just because there are now so many other skills that don't need shotgunning to handle single targets, even with the Spark buff. I've seen a bunch of RF totems recently. ronya fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Dec 22, 2015 |

It's not super fast in t6+ maps but it gets the job done. I could swich out the item rarity for minion damage but I can't sustain it so I need to fix that and I'm sure it will be fine. I am however getting this guy to 90 then just using him to farm mid level maps with iir and iiq. Going to progress further on a CA guy I made as CA seems to be a lot better. And I like the play style so far.

Only level 65 so far but I've got 3.8k life and 11k dps with mediocre daggers and awful jewels. Right now I'm about to get eldritch battery and then take zealot's oath once I can get a couple better ES pieces. Then I'm going to start finishing off the life wheel and get doom cast and the extra power charge for more crit.

So Reddit nerds did a bunch of testing and it looks like there's a strong chance GGG's Q&A is wrong about area damage and it does double dip poison/ignite if they're caused by an area skill. Game mechanics too hard, devs as confused as players: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/3xsh77/how_is_it_that_projectile_damage_increases/

Most mjolner builds seem to want voll's devotion, which is really loving expensive and even if you can afford voll's devotion you're better off using it in a cyclone cast on crit discharge build instead of mjolner.
