Cruel and merciless are usually a lot faster for me. A3N when you get your first ascendency and maybe some midlevel uniques makes it more manageable, even though A4 is the worst. Normal on a new character takes me like 8 hours. Cruel takes like 5.5, merc takes like 3.5.

And with knowledge of what to skip, what to pick up, you can hit merciless in a few hours without even any twink uniques, even faster if you have a buddy opening waypoints.

So I've been playing this build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1698800 despite literally doing nothing, I've been having a lot of fun with it -- mostly just seeing new people's reactions when I get near them  I was running SRS which allowed me to solo at an acceptable speed when no one was on, but due to recent gear changes I can no longer afford the gem slots to do so. Does GGG allow users to multibox in this game (assuming I can run both the Steam and standalone clients), and if so is there any specific software someone could recommend? I'd like to just be able to follow myself around

Jinnigan posted:How do I price this. Is this 30c. 1ex. TWO ex? Yeah probably worth a couple ex, its got an insane amount of +str which is good for a lot of casters, +es for your CI/LL build needs, and a cast speed roll which can be nice for some builds. Shame about the two empty mods, but I think it's still worth quite a bit

you can start by searching +1 curse necklaces, even the worst one is priced at 10-15c and despite your stats being awful, it's not the worst one around, it might actually be worth something in the 2 exalt range with the cast speed and because of the max energy shield or high strength for catching people who want either.

Thanks for the multiplayer info. Are some of the skill gems rarer than others? Im just wondering about directly activatable skills, and should I be buying the skills I want from the vendors or just going off drops?

With a handful of exceptions all gems can be bought from vendors for cheap (although it varies by class so you might want to ask in guild chat), although you should probably save ones that have quality. If you see a gem you want to use drop picking it up to save a bit of currency isn't a bad idea but it's not a huge deal

There's only a few gems that are drop only: added chaos damage, detonate mines, portal, enhance, empower, and enlighten. Each class as you complete quests unlocks skill gems you can buy at the potion/wand/etc vendor. These gems will level a bit as you do until a certain point, tied to their act/difficulty. If you need a gem you don't have access to, just ask in guild.

Weird question. If I have IIR linked to RF, how can I be sure it is getting the last tick in against a vortex/ignite dot? I'm only using it because I'm way overkilling things at the moment so it's not a huge deal but it seems like an interesting mechanics question. e: wearing Southbound so I'm not worried about the instant vortex hit

I read yesterday the IIR is determined on DoT skills by the DoT that was applied first. Not sure if it's true, but I totally have an item rarity gen on a spare slot in my contagion link.

Probably used up 100ish essences of corruption, got hysteria 6 times and delirium a few times as well. 75% of the time the monsters would just release instantly. The portal is meh, but I'd rather have a portal effect than a pet. Perandus Portal still the best challenge award by a long shot.

So every time this comes up I like to reiterate that Animate Weapon is by far the single most "powerful" skill in the game by a huge margin. Uberelite just proved it again for this expansion with like a 5 second Minotaur kill on a +50% monster life map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn1z8ydQjzM Also Animate Weapon is god awful to actually play with, so it's never going to be a popular or "good" build.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/AlexandrJJ/characters Clibanarial is the current version, the one who doesn't blow. Little write-up on it: Rearguard and Rumi's and Bone Offering for max block that also heals upon blocking. Null's summons raging spirits and animates weapons (around you when you get a kill AND at the kill point. Oddly, kicking open a barrel seems to count as a 'kill' for this purpose and a white weapon from one will animate automatically, kinda strange but good I guess), Cospri's gives you poison on any cursed enemy and +1 to curses, so Split Arrow to spread curses around, I use Poacher's Mark because I'm a loser who doesn't have a lot of phys damage to turn into leeching for mana replenishment purposes, and Enfeeble for survivability. Barrage with twin Volley Fire for actual killing of trash mobs and starting the pain train of animated weapons and SRSes. That works just stupidly well on bosses because you're just machinegunning up to the 20 hits worth of poison. Something that can/should be done for more DPS is flipping Bone Offering out for Flesh Offering and Rearguard for Drillneck. It'd make you more fragile, but your horde, and ability to summon the horde, would become just absurd. Wrath and Haste are good auras for this build. Clarity level 1 is just there for the added aura bonus to damage from Commander of the Darkness. Can't really think of much else to add, other than that it doesn't use very many uniques and the ones that are in place can be supplanted by cheaper alternatives: Cospri's can be changed out for any other source of +curses and Snakebite gloves added to implement poison damage on full frenzy charges. edit: Just imagine an Enlighten 3 in that hat. It's kinda in use on my Mjolnerer right now. Apoplexy fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Sep 30, 2016 |

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Jinnigan/characters My shield charger (Skjaldar) is pretty good. Clearing up to t10s, but has some trouble in t11s. Is there anything I can improve to get safe+stable farming in red maps? Or is that just sort of the natural limit of facebreaker shieldcharge?

Yep, I enjoyed writing it up, especially given that the realm was down and the game was patching while I was doing so, haha. So one of the really cool things about that build is that things can be dirt cheap. Windscream, Snakebite, Rearguard, Null's, Alpha's Howl with or without Enlighten leveled to 2/3/corrupted to 4, maybe an Astra if you want it, 2x Volley Fire. Probably 1.5 ex to get started without Cospri's, 5 if you get it and Astra.

I can't speak for hardcore because of how I play and all, which is really safely and lazily, but I can say that it's pretty durable with the Rearguard+Bone Offering combo. One thing I forgot to mention, though, is that Atziri's Promise is loving amazing with that build because of how much of your damage is chaos-based. 2% of chaos leeched to health with Vaal Pact on makes you pretty damned safe. On top of the Bone Offering block-healing. I only have 4k health, though, and would obviously recommend way more of that and taking some chaos resist nodes instead of pure damage ones.

Hm, if Null's Inclination works, what about Kitava's Thirst with Animate Weapon/Animate Skeleton/Minion Damage/Duration triggering off of SRS? The question is if you can hit/sustain 100 mana per cast with SRS

So, for picking jewels for Doomfletch: Would a 16% phys with bows, or just 16% phys in general, be a better option than 10% damage? Like I'm not sure if the generic damage% would be applied each time - making that 10% damage be 10% phys, 11% lightning, 11% fire, and 11% cold. Soothing Vapors posted:They'll just refuse to sell it Also this. Go ahead and give a dude two jewels and a wisdom scroll for his .95 item and see what happens.

People that make .9 chaos listings are just trying to get their post to appear at the top, gently caress them. Now if someone makes a .9 exalt listing, you can offer them 90% of an exalt's value in chaos and they will typically accept in my experience. But fractional chaos orb prices are stupid, don't buy from those people.
