I got a 4-link 78% Armour/15% resists Windscream, someone give me a tip on pricing them. I'm aware they're not exactly super popular to say the least, but few good ones are up so I figure I might get some for it.

Only close one there with price is 13% resists for 20C, I dunno how much more valuable the +2% of a perfect all res roll might make it. Or if that price is reasonable at all. The other comparable ones there (one perfect rolls with one socket only for example) don't have any price. I would toss it up price-less myself but I have zero frame of reference for haggling over it anyway.

Never said they weren't. But when you can click one chaos and use that to buy 50 transmutes which is 200 scrolls. Clicking 200 times instead is a waste of time. I just want goons to know this. If they then continue to waste their time that's their prerogative. Like how I still sell stuff for 5 alts/1 alch/1chaos which most consider a waste of time.

Assuming rear end holes are awful.

Sorry, you came across as going "I'm so rich I don't have to bother yourself with the low tier pleb currency. And so nobody else should bother with it, and we should all follow my glorious example. :spergin: " . Sorry. Sometimes the :goonsay: gets a bit strong in these threads for me.


The point where players are likely to even find a chaos orbs before they find another 200 scrolls, let alone where you have enough to part with for identity scrolls, is pretty deep into the game. At least halfway through third difficulty, which is when the map device becomes available.

Unless you're bankrolling your character from there, and until then, then it's lovely advice to not pick up every currency item you can.

It's "pseudo total Elemental Resistance". Setting that to 100 will give you items who have a total of 100 elemental resistance. Like 40 fire, 40 cold and 20 lightning or more.

I agree with ya there. My advice was for people who are mapping or deep into mapping. By then you should also have a poo poo load of transmutes you can convert over. I know I somehow ended up with 300+ so I just sell those occasionally and barely if ever pick up wisdom scrolls. But I am also on my 3rd dude and doing t11-t15 maps.

I tried a CI bladefall mine build using Trickster and a bladefall trap build using Saboteur, and of the two the Trap build felt much better. What's the go-to mine build and what makes it superior to traps? I do like the ability of mines to target at a distance, but in my experience the mine placement makes it much harder to dodge attacks vs throwing traps

Well as far as I've looked into it both are very good, but with trap you have to go saboteur (I wanted a tri curse build to use the heretic's veil I got so I tried occultist) and mines are better for atziri. IMO traps do have a more chill playstyle though. Toss and forget instead of plant and spam spacebar. If I didn't have 2 very chill characters already (reach tshot raider/eq jugger) I would probably have gone for the trapper and sold the veil for a 6L. However I don't have a lot of time to actively play the past/coming days/weeks so I went with something that can run all the double reflect maps I rolled (I don't reroll maps much since I have a lot anyway, I think making characters that can run them instead is more fun).

Voxx posted:

To be fair you can do that with traps too, he always moves at you so just toss em in front of you when he's almost up and then pop a defensive flask/move backwards out of range of his slam. Mines are easier to aim with all the adds wandering around though. This was my first mine character and so far it's been pretty fun! I'm lv75 and couldn't quite do uber lab my first run since I underestimated CI's susceptibility to freeze/shock etc. Put Heat on my basalt so it should be cake next time around. I think I'll try a saboteur/some other kinda trapper next, I usually level with fire trap early on and it's comfy.

traps and moe minors

Traps and mines are pretty cool in having a lot of shared space but considerably different play styles and strengths. I do agree that traps are way more chill to use, and you can do fun things with Bomb Specialist and Unstable Payload jewels. The base trap skills are actually usable while fire nova and freeze mines are really not great. I still love the glacial cascade mine w/ detonate mines totem combo, though.

I leveled with firestorm mines/flame totem with random support gems from lv12 and it was really easy, though ST damage was kinda lacking. Definitely a fun way to level, though. Plus bosses in normal/cruel are not statted to survive 8 firestorms.

Putting yourself at 0 chaos resist in merc (+60%) makes almost all sources of chaos damage completely inconsequential. Maxing it is pretty much pointless, but getting that much is a lovely luxury if you can work it in.

It's definitely nice to have, but there's no way I'm putting it on the same level as elemental resists when I'm entering my poe.trade query. Usually I'll just pick a nice amethyst for one of my ring slots.

So a bit ago, I got lucky and found somebody selling a Hegemony's Era for 100c, which I hastily converted a bunch of currency to buy, then blew another 24c on a Jeweller's Touch prophecy, and my crit EQ Juggernaut has finally broken into the "pretty fun" zone. My gear and passive tree is here. Aside from the Hege, my gear is pretty rubbish, but I'm doing well enough in the tier 5-6 maps I'm scraping together. Incidentally, this is the first character that I've ever done any significant mapping with, and the first character I've ever gotten to 80 with. It's pretty fun and easy to level (get The Stormheart and ride on for a whole difficulty level), but Hege's being basically mandatory later is an understandable turn-off.

Does anything immediately stand out as wrong? I switched out HoA and AA for Hatred, because I never realized just how crazy those big meaty freeze crits are, offensively and defensively. And with a decent life leech amulet and a paltry crafted mana leech on my gloves, I didn't need Warlord's Mark anymore, so I switched to Assassin's for the global crit damage and generating power charges against trash (you don't knock things back much when you one-shot them with Earthquake). Then there's Leap Slam (which probably doesn't need PCoC), a leveled CwDT+IC and Molten Shell, and... Ancestral Warchief, which I basically never use.

Pohx's Oro's double totem Inquisitor build reminded me that I had meant to try to think of ways to play SWORD WITCH before and I came up with something:

Skill tree

Main Links: Ice Crash - Concentrated Effect - Weapon Elemental Damage - Fire Penetration - Increased AoE - Fortify/Life Leech

Imagine you're playing Flameblast but you do like half the initial hit damage of 10 stack Flameblast, have to stand in melee range, use a 2 hander instead of a shield, and take increased damage.

you have to do uber yet, should be a cakewalk (get the fortify node, link it to your EQ, enjoy facerolling everything up to reds)

if you want to break into reds you will need to get some more defense, something like aa and a blasphemied enfeeble

I started making a lot more money when I changed my loot filter to hide all low tier currency. I was using the standard Neversink filter before, but about halfway through Perandus league I went in an changed all the items that have red backgrounds to just be hidden and I haven't looked back. Clearing maps faster results in more exp/currency in the long run, regardless of what your current wealth is. Between changing my filter and getting some premium tabs to sell things, my entire game experience has changed. In Talisman and all previous leagues I played, I would get maybe 3-5ex over the course of playing a build for 3-4 weeks, then get frustrated from the difficulty of higher level maps. Part of that was trying to jump into t12+ maps too soon, part of it was not enough defense, but being able to afford good gear makes a huge difference.

So I'm wondering, where do I go survivability-wise from where I'm at: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Insurrectionist/characters

So Elemental resists are out and other than my one ring and gloves, which I can't afford to give up for Life items anyway, I've got a good amount of Life on my stuff. Boots and Helm can DEFINITELY get better ES - but is that and some very incrementally improved +Life rolls all I can really do as far as gear is concerned? Should I rejig my build for more defensive nodes or something? Right now I'm at 4.7k Life/950ES and feel VERY squishy once I get up to yellow maps and such. Lightning Coil would be a decent upgrade but I don't think I can afford the items to make up for that -60% Lightning Resistance yet. Can save for it if it's my best option of course.

Are you rich goons mostly playing the trading game and flipping items to get there? Or mostly farming?

I'm not rich, but now that I can run uber lab pretty consistently I'm making a decent amount of currency. The bigger returns for me are enchants (buy unenchanted meta helms and enchant them every run), high-quality gems (run 20% ones that people pay for in your off-hand until they are level 20), divination cards and Sacrifice fragments. If you get lucky with enchants, you can make decent money (I just enchanted my perfectly-rolled Rat's Nest with two secondary Tornado Shot projectiles - too bad I'm using it). Also you sometimes get good rares and corrupted jewelry, but I'm terrible at pricing that stuff so it largely sits in my stash unless it's obviously amazing. I'm sure there are more efficient ways to generate currency, but at least running lab is more interesting than endlessly running maps.

I'm getting bored of bow builds and want something a little tanker than my AssReacher, even though it can rip through buffed Izaro in a few seconds (the occasional stray slash will one-shot me - gently caress dual swords). I've been looking at low-life Kinetic Blast, but the initial investment is pretty high for. Is it worth it? I always see people playing it, and it looks like tons of fun.

Embrace the rerolls, it's at the heart of the game and why hardcore works so well. But yeah, the best way to learn is to copy someone else's build and figure out why they made the decisions they did. That and trying new and wild things just to see what works and what doesn't.

But there's still a fair chance your build is salvagable. You can link your character here from your profile on the official website for us to take a look at it (just make sure you set it to 'public' first since your characters are private by default).
