I'm new to this game and playing a character I started when very briefly trying it previously. Am I missing out by not playing in essence league? My first character is up to act 3 on cruel.

Having act 4 be mandatory only once per character will be great. gently caress you, The Harvest.Peewi posted:I'm new to this game and playing a character I started when very briefly trying it previously. Am I missing out by not playing in essence league? My first character is up to act 3 on cruel. Yeah. Sorry. There's a reason there's a big red text blurb that says "THIS IS THE DEFAULT LEAGUE FOR NEW CHARACTERS" above essence league on the character creation screen. You can keep on trucking in standard but you'll have a way harder time getting items from trading, and the goon stash is a huge clusterfuck there. Also join the goon guild if you aren't in one with your friends or whatever, they can answer questions you have about the game on the fly.

I can definitely spec out of a few things to get more life, but the only thing really close right now is the Scion wheel. Actually, one bit of info you left off is what your current HP/ES/resistances are like. Discipline might not be such a bad idea depending on those. I wouldn't run Blasphemy either way; you're a spellcaster (and not something close-range like Incinerate), you should ideally be further away from monsters than Blasphemy can reach. It's a shame you're not a Hierophant, because Decoy Totem would be a great addition, but would literally cut your damage output in half. Survivability would increase dramatically though.

Leaving the public chat channels was one of the first things I did. Is being in a guild account wide or per character? Is there anything besides the stash that goes across characters?

Nobody uses the $ channel, it's trash. https://poe.trade is what pretty much everyone uses for trading since it lets you actually find what you're looking for, without being scammed by trade chat idiots. While a guild membership is account wide, you get invited by a single character name for whatever reason, so if you post a character name in the thread someone will invite you. Your master, hideout, and stash are league wide, so progress with your masters is shared between characters in the same league.

He basically carries boss/rare DPS in 4man red maps. He farmed Atziri a lot. He's CI. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Poyayan/characters (BlastOnBlastOff) He's upgraded his gear significantly these past couple days, you don't need his amount of gear to run Atziri.

Yeah, but I would have to do another respec to go all CI, and buy some gear. It's an option, though.

I still don't get how you're trying to mitigate damage coming in to hit that life. I'm guessing armor from your tree, like is that your long term goal or are you trying to keep CI open? Halfsies on mitigation doesn't help. The 14% Evasion gem roll sticks out too, I'm hoping that was an errant Regal instead of intentionally purchased.

Shinino Kage posted:Current Stats (with Anger, Discipline and Golem): I'm also running a FB totem character, I'll message you when I get home from work to see what we can do. I had a similar life amount and ended up moving completely to ES. edit: i looked at your gear. If you want to play this as an inquisitor you need to go all out on crit chance and multiplier since you rely on that heavily with the ascendency. Your daggers are lacking both of these in exchange for high cast speed/cheapness. Consider looking at daggers with cast speed/crit chance/crit multi. Spell damage % is the least important of the group here. Prepare to pay out of the rear end for these. Consider crafting yourself with the cast speed essence. You'll also need to get a helm enchant. One of the ones we can get as FB is +60/90% crit chance. You can get a white ES base ilvl84+ with the 90% enchant for approx 10c right now. If you want to stay armor I have one that you can have, you just may need to move your resists around. You pretty much are going to need to pick one armor type and stick with it. Rings are bleh, we'll talk more when I see you in game. Fart Cannon fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Sep 27, 2016 |

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Would be nice if the difficulty shift, lowered resists, more and stronger enemies and starting over in act 1 was explained in the story. And then you wake up. Turns out it was all a dream as you lay half-dead in the surf. You're still on Wraeclast IRL though so better get grinding. Also, uh, they tossed you ashore with all your gear on because they're helpful like that I hope Act 5 is better than Act 4. I'm not too much of a lore sperg but POE's story is a hot mess of endlessly receding Russian-doll-style Big Bads at this point.

I've always liked the idea where Act 4 is the actual end, and any further acts will be inserted right before it.

Zephro posted:You kill $ACT5_BOSS... tbf i think the first 3 acts, plus the forgotten masters, had the most coherent storyline. atziri is a bit weird and a throwback. act 4's storyline is an incoherent mess because it tries to tie together a good 4 or so storylines all at once

New players always think I'm joking when I tell them that the last boss of the game is currently a giant poop monster that you fight in a bloody rear end in a top hat.

I didnt touch Atlas yet, but i kinda feel i should give it a try. My main problem is that i have no idea what to play. I want something slightly out of the box, that still kinda works and is also on a budget. What about Avatar of fire earthquake that focusses on ignites? Since ill most likely running RT i cant rely on crits for ignite, and i dont think the chance-to support will suffice? Any other semi-retarded-but-yet-workable ideas?

Yolomon Wayne posted:I didnt touch Atlas yet, but i kinda feel i should give it a try. I'm running ignite Vortex using only Chance to Ignite and 15% ignite chance from the tree. The left side of the tree (which I assume that you'd be) has some good nodes for it. How would you get full phys->fire conversion? Last league I tried a doomfletch AoF with cold to fire, phys to lit, and Call of the Brotherhood to get 100% of phys and all the elements converted to fire and it wasn't great, those two gem slots could have been much better spent on more damage imo.
