Welp, bet 37c on 1ex. Hope it moves in the right direction. I don't think I can play enough to get a Voltaxic before the prices converge.

Katasi posted:Picking items up, portaling to town, IDing, checking to make sure nothing is worth selling, selling, and returning to where you were, is a hell of a lot slower than just running and killing while ignoring loot. Yes, this is true. But I wouldn't recommend that a new player runs around killing while ignoring loot.

Getting a good item filter helps a lot with ignoring loot, because it at least gives you slightly different background colors to help identify good or bad bases. That way you aren't picking up poo poo like destroyer regalias and copper plates in high maps.

Sifting through loot is such a pain in the rear end. It sure would be nice if it dropped identified.

Yup. Chaos is highly valued in the 2wk but it'll have to crash hard to converge to PSC or Standard, it's running 1:37 in the 2k vs 1:58 in PSC, close to 1:60 in Standard. Alts are 24:1 in the 2wk vs 12:1 in Standard. So I don't want to be holding all these chaos whilst saving up for a Voltaxic.

FWIW I converted my ex to chaos in the middle of the 2wk because it's easier lowballing with chaoses but the ratio from 1:20 on day 1-2 to 1:27 on day 4 or so to 1:30 on day 7.

I don't think I've ever once regretted trading chaos for an exalt at any ratio, even when I know the seller is a flipper.

That way you aren't picking up poo poo like destroyer regalias and copper plates in high maps. Yep I edited Neversink's filter to only show the top 2 bases for most items and now I spend way more time killing and getting exp/currency drops than I did before. For reference, my highest level guy ever before Perandus was 89, and I got to 86 in about 3 days in the hardcore 2 week race before I died. I also hide scrolls/transmutes/augs/whetstones/armour scraps once I start mapping.

I'm unsure what to do with my necromancy build. Someone better than me take a look at it. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...ej6gPrS_gr-Sf6z My focuses are 'minion boosting', 'aura/curse improvements and reserved mana reduction', and 'not dying'. I tend to just drop a totem of angry spirits then run around for a while or spam that 'rain of blades' spell if there's enough targets.

Why totem SRS in the particular? I ask because whilst I am no expert, the tree doesn't seem especially focused in it, so I'm wondering whether you have something deeper in mind

Good call on the 2wk currency ratios. I had 110c stockpiled for map rolling before I ripped on my Inquisitor on Sunday. I turned that into a scolds bridle and 4ex for eventual Standard ladder experimentation

I put one down and it provides backup fire while I focus on other things, like running for my life or dropping curses, casting offerings or keeping my zombie horde up. If I don't have any running to do, I bring out my rain of blades again. Mostly running for my life at the end of, uh, normal.  Especially for bosses, since late in the game they seem to turn into monster hunter 'learn my tells and manually dodge appropriately or die' type bosses.

yeah in merciless boss fights definitely feel a lot more mechanical, some of them having outright (almost) instagib mechanics like piety's beam or malachai's teleport

You doing physical/poison or elemental? Only 500 dex so far, but I have 5.4 health and full acrobatics/phase with a 5 link coil so I am trying to play it safe.

if you're having trouble with arena bosses like Piety or Malachai, that's not unusual for any build not packing a lot of single-target sustain whilst leveling as long as you're steamrolling area content, it should be fine though I always figured that the great appeal of SRS is to be able to vomit out a huge swarm of them quickly, and then run around doing your thing. Their damage is directly linear in how many you can keep up. And Spell Totem cannot use Echo and has less cast speed and damage.

ronya posted:if you're having trouble with arena bosses like Piety or Malachai, that's not unusual for any build not packing a lot of single-target sustain whilst leveling Well, could I somehow get my minions to leech life to me? That might help during bosses. Otherwise I don't know. I'm fine in most areas, outside of some of the usual troublesome enemy modifier combinations. My end goal is to get a 6-link weapon and armor, and with one I have crazy decked out flying skulls, and the other I put a bunch of 'curse on hits' linked to Bladefall.  The rest is just various forms of survivability or utility skills, like flesh offering and flame dash.... As a summoner, I should probably be focusing more on auras than curses, shouldn't I?

You can probably do fine through to low level maps Blasphemy (the support gem) will allow you to apply curses as auras.

When I was having trouble with my summoner I watched this guide for SRS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDVjA_UWiOI I followed it, and was mapping just fine at level 83 last I played her.

I'm guessing the chaos conversion nerf means another legacy version of Consuming Dark and possibly a legacy Voltaxic Rift? Chaos conversion builds have been very fun but they are undeniably overpowered so hopefully the new meta will be more interesting.
