For an EQ build can you use a 1h and shield or is it a 2 hander thing mostly.

Also your discharger builds sound fun but can you run them off the bat or do you spec into it later?

You can do DW or one hand & shield. Varunastra was sort of flavour of the week some point last league for 1h. Etup ran dw with headhunter, etc.

Discharger is a spec-into-later build.

Really glad I torrented the 4gb ggpk on my airbnb host internet last night... currently downloading the last 766MB patch at 90 to 350KB/s in SFO airport. Have a 5 hr layover here and will hopefully get to Act 2 or 3 before starting my vacation.

Jesus christ, even on my 4 yr old MacBook Air WINE edition, this game loaded in like 20 seconds now!

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

Is there a Goon PoE Discord or anything? I'd kinda like to group up with people at least early on for easier leveling times.

This wifi is surprisingly good. My download peaked at 2Mb/s before I assume I got throttled down to ~300Kb/s.

The hard part is going to be finding an inconspicuous private spot to plug this thing in.

EQ is good enough for 1h, but you do have to use an axe or mace, not the best bases imo but that means they should be cheap

also since atziri is unchanged while everyone got better this means the best dps mace in the game will get cheaper

I wonder if that "kill atziri 100 times" challenge option will significantly influence the price of her drops.

Even on an SSD the load times were fairly long. And more importantly, I wonder if this is going to fix the stutter when a party member enters your zone or you open an exile-guarded strongbox.

I think the scepter will be worth a bit more this league, but the better implicit. But i doubt much else will change. It was nearly impossible to make a build last league that couldn't do normal atziri.

I saw my friend there out on the field today, I asked him where he's going, he said "All the way."
Im in a queue for 13k+ people at the moment, just checking to ask if thats normal... I am pretty sure it did a download so I can hopefully play once the queue fucks off.

Also thanks for the replies. Ill go 2h and see how EQ pans out, can always regret a few nodes later if needed.

I think it's just could to be super rare. I remember in the big info post about the Darkshrine 1 month league, Chris teased a darkshrine effect that applies a chance orb to every item on the ground in the zone. It turned out to only happen if the rare you sacrificed was six-linked and even then, the darkshrine could use any of the other mods instead. Only got discovered right at the end of the league. This feels like another one of those teasers.


The only thing you need to know is that you can get that loving monkey.



So when does izaro one shot it because it might be threatening to your character

Here's a tree I followed in 2.2, did fine in HC: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...3xYF6I-PEukoAAA

(and my slightly tweaked version of it: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...juf34Kb73y3MQ== )

Jewels used are either the ones that convert str or dex to Int (in the interior ones) and Izaro's Turmoil everywhere else.

e: Oh, the softcore version went for Elementalist instead of Heirophant

e2: It is a "bizarre fire damage gimmick" because AoF / C2F makes it do way more damage, and you still get chilled ground. Only upsides, no downsides. What makes you resistant to this variant?

Evasion/life based sparker with orb of storms as a support will take you to the end of merciless, assuming you build decently. Take lots of life nodes, trade for a couple Lifesprig wands as soon as you get a couple Chaos orbs and you'll be set through the first three acts of normal. Buy a Reverberation Rod in act 4 and you'll be set, weapon-wise at least, through all of Cruel.

E: Start as Shadow

I only understand a few of those words but I'll start combing the official build forums to piece it together. And not that I'm going to play HC for my first playthrough but is this a glass cannon type build or can I take some hits as a dex/int char? Specifically with the build you laid out

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
Most important thing as a newbie is grab Neversink's Loot Filter, bunch of junk in the post just hop down to the Instructions section. This'll make life a hell of a lot easier by highlighting important things and making it super hard to miss important currency. And most importantly it'll hide completely worthless items as you go, so you don't even have to worry about 100% junk items.
