It seems they are needed for a lot of things, like alching strongboxes in maps, maps themselves after t7, prismatic rings, etc. I'm going to start doing the chaos recipe tonight I think. I'd use 75+ ones and then regal recipe

I'd focus on power progression because I made most my money pushing higher content/maps than doing recipes, especially on softcore since if you die due to poor preparation you're at most gonna lose some xp

I really loving hate the labyrinth. Let's create an arena where only about 10% of the ground is safe to stand on, and then have the boss cover that 10% in exploding poo poo that takes you from 1,300 life to 0 in less than a second on normal. Also now you need to spend an hour just getting back to him, gently caress you! I figured level 37 would be enough to take normal labyrinth on, but nope!  I don't even want to imagine what this poo poo is like in cruel and merciless.

Use poelab.com to help you figure out a pathway but generally speaking the exit to the next area is in the upper right. Also it'll be called X walkway or X halls or something that sounds passable. The dead ends are called enclaves or something enclosed sounding. With that and just generally skipping packs you can get back a lot faster.

Obliteration wander made lvl88 yesterday and im having a (kinetic) blast. Its gone from horribad to mediocre to good to retarded. And I mean clinically retarded. Like the poisonquake for casters. In a gorge map i double-tap rmb and can run off a quicksilver charge until i have to actually have to shoot again. Im not entirely sure how the proliferation works offscreen, i feel like i have to be in some vicinity for mobs to actually "count as being there" and get proliff´d. If i dont move i only kill my current screen +1, but when i keep moving i just keep running into lootpiles for 4-6 quicksilver seconds. Havent done uber lab and have absolutly no intention of doing so since i loving hate the entire lab thing and wouldnt know what to do with 2 more ascendancy points anyway. Maybe if i could change them into skillpoints, but right now its a waste of time. Can you sell keys or offerings or how the shits called?

Obliteration feels like you wave a magic wand and everything just disappears. It feels faster than my old HoA proliferator because it doesn't just clear offscreen, it chains offscreen. And it can kill stragglers. Also, it's effectively immune to reflect.

So I decided to make a Poison-Quake Juggernaut that the one goon kept posting in this thread. Its incredibly simple and effective to start. Everything I have on it is self found and I'm clearing stuff easily while being almost invincible. Its even effective farming Uberlabs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgOhc4l43Ag It may not be the fastest clear, but there is rarely anything to be scared of unless you forget to keep your endurance charges up or its conduits. Even then if it doesn't one shot you, your Immortal call will keep you up long enough for you to regen to full.

I sell: The one that gives a corrupting tempest The 5L one The voidheart one if I don't have any beyond maps or the beyond prophecy Monstrous treasure Probably a few others. I bought a bunch of coins at 7.5:1 in two batches and had my own mixed in there. Sold a voidheart, three voidheart prophecies, one jeweler's touch, few other ones. Also ended up with 3 full council sets which I'm going to run today. Would have gotten a bunch of XP for doing all of this if I wasn't 89 at the time.

Yolomon Wayne posted:words Do you have your tree somewhere or is it a generic build, findable on PoE forums? On a unrelated manner, I wonder if this is a known bug or something which I'm doing incorrectly. Basically, I had 4 link gloves in which I had: CWDT - Blade Vortex - Enfeeble - Curse on Hit I was expecting that if CWDT would trigger Blade Vortex, Enfeeble would be applied on all the nearby monsters (which wasn't the case). I could remove CWDT, fire BV manually and it worked as expected, but with CWDT-triggered BV, no Enfeeble was applied. I guess that this is not too much of a problem for me now as I ripped that "unkillable" caster about an hour after I noticed the bug - but it was just bothering me. EDIT: I just noticed that somebody replied to my bug report about this: "Skills can't be supported by two trigger gems. You have to level up the enfeeble to where it's no longer supported by the CwDT." But I want them to be supported by two trigger gems ;( kaaj fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jun 20, 2016 |

I want to share a build I came up with that I've been absolutely tearing it up with this league. I saw a bunch of builds based on Scion and Ancestral Warchief, but literally all of them just maximized DPS at the expense of being ridiculously paper thin and expensive, usually being based on Facebreakers plus Abyssus or Bringer of Rain. So, I came up with this CI version that's fairly cheap, is ridiculously tanky, and still has respectable damage. PoEPlanner link You get a Rime Gaze, and link Ancestral Warchief + Poison + Added Chaos Damage + Increased AoE/Added Lightning Damage. For your weapon, get a max attack speed roll Essentia Sanguinis. Both of these uniques cost less than a chaos each. For the rest of your gear, just get whatever armor + ES rares you can afford. Very few people run armor + ES builds so this gear is normally very cheap. The most expensive pieces of gear by far for this build are going to be the two Energy from Within gems you need to socket in next to the two life clusters. Normally, Added Chaos isn't great because most weapon damage passive nodes affect physical damage only. With this build, however, all your damage nodes are generic increases and affect everything. Added Chaos adds a huge amount of base damage per hit so you want the fastest weapon possible that still does respectable DPS, and Essentia Sanguinis fits the bill despite the fact that you aren't taking advantage of ghost reaver or the block bonus. A high pDPS Jeweled Foil is even faster but 212 DEX to equip it is not trivial and you'll be spending multiple exalts for one with a good pDPS roll. For auras, I run Anger + Discipline. Anger also adds flat base damage per hit and all your generic damage increaser nodes also multiply it. The poison double dips off all the totem damage increased nodes and the concentrated effect from the helm, as does ignite from your anger damage. I sustain power charges with Orb of Storms linked to PCoC + Curse on Hit + Temporal Chains. After that, just run whatever golem you want and whatever warcry you want. Stone + Enduring for more tank, Ice + Rallying for damage. At level 80, I'm sitting at 13k energy shield and 4k armor, with 1200 ES regeneration per second. I'd have to gently caress up pretty badly to get killed with these stats, I can faceroll through traps and the totems still do more than enough DPS to clear entire rooms in seconds. The biggest headache by far is heavy cold damage mobs, you can avoid getting frozen yourself with flasks but the mobs will constantly freeze your totems and stop them from doing anything.

kaaj posted:Do you have your tree somewhere or is it a generic build, findable on PoE forums? What they mean is that if you level up Enfeeble so that it's higher level than what CWDT is able to support, it'll no longer be ineligable for curse on hit since it's not being affected by CWDT. Curse on hit is a trigger skill, but only for the curse being triggered, not the skill triggering it. This will allow your blade vortex to apply much higher level curses than simply linking a curse with CWDT can achieve. nightwisher fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Jun 20, 2016 |

Speaking of ridiculously tanky homebrew builds, here is my low life KB Guardian running 8 auras I'm running Anger, Wrath, triple Purity, Discipline, Determination, Clarity, and Herald of Ice, most of which are in a +2 aura gems item; I'm using both Alpha's Howl and Prism Guardian. Because I'm Guardian, I get 160% of my reserved life as base armor (base meaning modified by increased/more armor effects), which means I get a thoroughly stupid amount of free armor despite not really having any on my gear. At level 84, I have 23600 armor with no flasks running, 5600 ES and 83/83/83/20 resists, plus a ~20k GMP KB setup with frostwall. It's definitely slower than a normal KB or Obliteration wander, but decidedly less paper!

Lets give it a try nonetheless, this is with lvl 88, oak/kraytin/kill and elemntalist with prolif and golems: Expecto PatrOWNum: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...ZJ9daZX_o_Tfk3j On the 4-link: Is your enfeeble low enough to be within the "maximum required level" of cwdt? All ACTIVE gems need to be, supports dont matter. On the other hand, why even BV, just make it cwdt - enfeeble and maybe inc. aoe - inc. dur?

TheRat posted:Time only passes in a few screens worth of a radius around the player, so when you move too far away from a mob time literally stops. So thats the reason why theres only 1 dead screen when i loot, but literally chasing explosions when i run. Theres also something fishy when opening boxes. It appears as though its a lingering effect around corpses, but when a pack dies next to a strongbox, 9/10 times i open the box and everything simply explodes without any input from my side. Not that id complain, but still...

Basically, I had double courses on my char, but didn't had enough mana to reserve auras, and Blasphemy + Enfeeble + Warlord's Mark. I thought this would be a nice substitution. Yolomon Wayne posted:No, but maybe you can paste this in the offline tool or maybe the link takes you to the official site, but i dont think it would work. This link works great, I'll give it a proper look when I'm back home. As for your suggestion, this may had worked great too and in the end I had been planning to settle for something like this. The initial idea was that, because I wasn't planning to stand close to mobs, if I had been hit to trigger Enfeeble, I wanted an aura-like behaviour, so that every single monster on my gateway path would be hit, when I'm GTFO'ing out of there.

In my experience temp chance is the better escape. Hitting softer is nice, but not hitting at all is better imo. For a lazy, poor mans version of what you planned, Asenaths touch with cwdt-bv-inc dur - inc aoe might actually work. Im not sure though, as ive never tried it. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Asenath%27s_Gentle_Touch If youre not into those adn feeling lucky, theres several curse-on-hit corruptions on gloves.

I prefer enfeeble over temp chains in a hc environment, because it just gives so many debuffs to the mob whereas temp chains only slows. If you're doing degen-damage, temp chains is better because it works both as defense and offense (it makes the degen last longer, while keeping the dps the same). Have a look at all the poo poo enfeeble actually does, especially if you get a quality gem: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Enfeeble

Enfeeble is great, no question there. Its why im running enfeeble+temp chains whenever i can. But i prefer to stay out of their range via chains and get not hit at all instead of getting softer hits less often. As melee though, i guess enfeeble wins since you have to go into range anyways.

I need some help with some mechanics that I don't really understand. I'm playing the Lioneye's Glare/Fall cast on crit build. I've been using Blackgleam for physical reflect maps (plus the phys to lightning gem for 100% conversion) and I was just looking at the wiki and saw that it has a prophecy upgrade. It's this one: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Signal_Fire My question is about the new mod it gets: Gain (25 to 35)% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage. Is that a straight more multiplier to my cast on crit spells? I'm using Bladefall and Ethereal Knives. I'm not sure if that only applies to attacks, though. It doesn't say Physical Attacks so I'm assuming it'll work on the physical spells? And since it's extra instead of increased then it should just be a straight multiplier? If my crit is high enough (I'm at about 85% without a crit quiver) then would this be a straight increase? Or am I totally off base here and it just doesn't work at all?
