Had a great day yesterday. Traded up all my currency in to chaos, started scooping up the cheapest exalts I could find and then turned them all in to The Last One Standing cards and actually managed to get my hands on an Atziri's Disfavour. This is definitely the most expensive item I've ever held in Path of Exile. I'd just been grinding out exp for lvl 20 gems / lvl 90 character challenges but now it's time to start pushing in to red maps. Hilariously I spent all my chaos buying the drat axe so when I rolled temp chains / phys reflect on my only T13 I was a little annoyed. The guide I've been using suggests getting The Brass Dome for defense, but I've got a 5 link 40% Belly of the Beast that is proooobably staying put. I'm really excited to get to and try out the Guardian fights and maybe even Shaper - my Whispering Ice dude never quite made it last league. This league is fun and this game is fun. Already can't wait for 3.0. EDIT: Is there any way to make totems chill immune? I can probably brute force Tul with this big loving axe now, but when I tried to take him on with my 450 pds sword my totems were just too slow and died too quickly to get anything done. It's probably my biggest frustration so far and really the only thing I've struggled with on this Ancestral Warchief build. MerrMan fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Cast when channeling is a pretty absurd mechanic. For me it took a 6 link to really shine, but at that point wither-cwc-firestorm with 2 consuming darks has annihilated most everything. Got all the duration available on the tree so firestorm, poison, wither all last ~4 seconds. Has ended up as one of those builds that kills atziri and her crew about as soon as they come out of their invincible animations. Haven't had anything so far that has lived long enough for the full damage ramp-up of 12 firestorms and 20 withers to accumulate. Defense is solid too. I'm doing inquisitor instead of occultist because I like life builds. Sitting at 6k hp, 5k standing armor (brine crown), 14% life regen on the constant hallowed ground and 3% leech off of warlords mark and enchants. Have been able to face tank most everything I've tried so far except esh because he won't hold still.

I'm running a crit Arc Witch with the intention of using Call of the Brotherhood once I'm able to afford one. I also just had a The Halcyon drop, and I'm trying to determine whether I should keep it, or sell it to get some cash for the ring. I assume The Halcyon's increased cold damage will apply to the converted damage from Call of the Brotherhood, but I also feel like using both will throw my resistances into the shitter. Any thoughts?

Yeah the cold damage would apply. Seems like they have a good amount of synergy together, and they do have at least some resists on them.

Is there any trick to being able to tell if a 2h axe has an open prefix? Seems like some of these mods overlap and poe.trade can't tell, and I can't tell by eyeballing it. I want to buy an axe and craft bleed on it without having to rely on the seller to not lie about if it has an open prefix.

Had an affix question myself, can a rare have any combination of six affixes or does it have to be up-to-three prefixes and up-to-three suffixes? poeaffix.net doesn't make that clear and I can't get to the official wiki at work. (Why I can get to poeaffix.net and poe.trade is best left unasked)

Or if you have vagan 7, ask them to craft a junk prefix before you trade as evidence for an open prefix, and swap it out yourself.

So someone posted to Reddit today confirming that Blade Vortex's current +30% more damage per stack applies to poison. Which is obviously an oversight because other similar skills do not work this way (or at least Flameblast doesn't, I don't know if BF does but people haven't really noticed it). I could see it getting hotfixed, but if not enjoy another 3 months of BV dominance. However, this wouldn't be nearly as interesting except the part where the guy who posted it on Reddit explicitly did on a throwaway account and defended it in the comments because if he posted it on his real account, he would be ignored by all the top end players and screw himself out of trading forever. And the thread is getting downvoted really hard in an attempt to hide the information.

This game gives me a severe case of alt-itis, and I love it. Got an RT Cyclone into mapping, then started a Lazy Pally build with Blade Flurry (maybe not optimal like e.g. Ice Crash but fun as heck), got him into Merciless. And now I'm looking at Whispering Ice builds.

I managed to beat the campaign on Merciless and should be done the lab tonight. Yay me. What the gently caress do I do now? Maps? I have no idea how this works. From this thread I gather I am supposed to: Run T1 and T2 maps, making them blues first The atlas is confusing. How does Zana level up? She's only selling T1 maps and I've only seen 1s drop before. The wikis explain mechanics not really "how" it all works. I'm level 71 flameblast totem, my resistances are capped, working on the gear to switch over to CI/ES and upping my crit, and trying to fit in a CWDT Immortal Call.

The Atlas shows you the drop progression of maps. There's 4 tier 1 maps (corners) and from there they branch out in a myriad of ways before ending at the 4 Guardian maps leading to the Shaper in the center. Anyway, completing a map increases the probability of map drops being +1 level higher by 1%. Completing a map means beating it with the map at a certain rarity. For white maps, it's Magic. Yellow = Rare, Red = Rare + Corrupted. Tier 1 maps will be the only ones to drop outside of maps. In maps, you'll get anything up to +2 the level of the current map plus the Atlas bonus (so a rare/unique monster might drop something +3 tiers up, but good luck with that). Zana levels up just like other masters, but she is only found in maps (pro-tip: get her in your hideout ASAP). whypick1 fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Find her in a map then complete her mission. As she levels up she sells more maps and higher levels and rarities. The atlas: quote:The player's progression through the end-game maps is visualized in the Atlas of Worlds. Maps are connected to each other and form pathways to the center of the Atlas. There are four starting points (tier 1 maps); one in each corner. Players can also add mods to maps by using Cartographer's Sextants and upgrade (shape) maps with a Shaper's Orb. So there are 4 T1's, one in each corner. Complete the map objective to unlock the next map on the atlas which will be a T2, and so on. To complete the map objectives and unlock the atlas you need to run white tier (1 - 5) maps as blue, yellow tier (6 - 10) maps as rare, and red tier (11 - 16) maps as rare, and at least once as corrupted and kill the map boss.

Flameblast's more mod doesn't double dip it for the same reason, say, controlled destruction doesn't double dip it: it's more spell damage, and spell damage mods never double dip poison. Blade flurry double dipping on poison was obvious when the skill was revealed, there's no need to hide it.

In maps, you'll get anything up to +2 the level of the current map plus the Atlas bonus (so a rare/unique monster might drop something +3 tiers up, but good luck with that). Map drops still respect drop restrictions. Magic/Rares/Uniques are capped at max to +1 of the current level of the map, with the boss being the only one capable of dropping a +2. 125% completion would, for example, in a Tier 6 map cause any Tier 4 maps that drop to be upgraded to Tier 5 with a 25% chance of being a Tier 6.
