Vaal Pact - not sure. Probably not worth it unless you are trying to do phys reflect maps. Losing life regen sucks. Ballistic Mastery is really good for EK, but really expensive to pick up, so probably not worth it. +1 power charge is good, but you probably shouldn't spend more than 2 passive points grabbing that unless you're always maxed on charges. That means pick up Instability up north, maybe don't pick up Overcharge out west (at least until you're higher level). After the life nodes (or before if you're on softcore and feeling frisky) I would go north and take the Written in Blood - Doom Cast - Force Shaper clusters.

Tai posted:So skip Vaal Pact/Ballistic Missile? Too much of a waste of passive points getting all that dex? Power charges are your friend. Unrelated but here's my latest guy. Quill Rain + Drillneck Barrage coc EK and Spark. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/dis_astranagant/characters I hit 75% crit with Barrage, 67% with the spells. I'm gonna grab Acrobatics next and start working on life. Might grab a +2 mana on hit jewel and a couple of Volley Fires. Nullification and sniper are looking awfully lonely in the middle of my tree, though. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Apr 8, 2016 |

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I've found 4 exalted orbs this league, 4 more then I've ever found before that, I feel like the extra clearing speed of the new/improved skills and ascendancy classes and there being more then a handful of viable builds is improving exalted orb drop rates. Today I found another one. I can definitely get some decent gear in a few levels for maps I am bad and havent bothered with any ascendency stuff yet and Im level 53. Dont even know how to do it!

tl;dr version: Complete the 6 trials (Act 1 - Upper Prison; Act 2 - Crypt Level 1, Chamber of Sins Level 2; Act 3 - Crematorium, Catacombs, Hedge Maze). Enter Labyrinth in A3 town. Try not to die because you have to start all over from the beginning if you do. Behold the new possibilities in build-making.

# ? Apr 8, 2016 22:50 |

once you do all the trials you can enter the labyrinth thing in the act 3 town in normal. you should probably crush it at 53

the only thing that might be tricky is the traps. having a movement skill like flame dash helps a lot. once you figure them out you can easily just quicksilver/hp flask through them

Don't worry, you'll still be a unique snowflake, just one among thousands.

Alternatively theorycraft everything yourself, be barely able to clear mid-high maps, and have a fraction of the currency to your name.

When you play chaos ice crash, you will not give a poo poo about about being unique.

Challenge, Items from Vendor Recipes, Any Rare Item About what recipe are they talking here?

If you vendor 5 of the same rare base item type, you get another unID rare of the same base type, with (I think?) an averaged ilevel.

poe.trade's account age feature is pretty neat, says mine is 1470 days old. I don't know what's worse, me still playing it this while later or GGG only releasing 2 acts since then.

Well to be fair they have released aton of other things in the meantime- masters, atziri, div cards, labyrinth, like 15 leagues and officially expanding to the garena countries. Plus out of those leagues that have run a lot of content was rolled into the main game. But yeah it's absolutely horrible that there were only 2 acts in four years

it is still ridiculous that beyond isn't in the base game

Duck and Cover posted:Yeah gently caress those who don't want to get all the life nodes, and multiple forms of damage mitigation. Until the fundamental defense meta dies (it won't ever), every build is bad unless it's rocking 5k+ life or 8k+ ES with at least one form of 20%+ mitigation. I've made a tonne of snowflake builds, but the one consistent thing that sucks about them is dying a lot in high-tier maps and never getting beyond lvl 89 or being able to reliably not waste 6 portals in a T14. I mean you're totally entitled to make a 3k ES trapper with 400 billion DPS but don't get upset when you faceplant into harder content and can't progress. Also, that 400 billion DPS becomes zero when you're dead.

Is there any good way to have a skill on left click without it interfering with movement as a caster? Also at what level approx is good to move to cruel?

Not a good one, since that's counter productive to how earthquake works. Spamming it doesn't produce multiple aftershocks, so you want a single hard hitting one.
