I don't know about anyone else, but at the point where I finished getting all my ES nodes at lvl 90 or so, each 2 point jewel socket would be adding around 15% more damage. So there is a massive jump in power from 90 to 95.

Spells never miss, right? Because I tried again to play my KotF guy this morning before work and oh my god missing two or three barrages in a row just sucks so much rear end in a top hat.

Xequecal posted:With the way conversion works, if you have 100% physical to fire conversion, like for example using Blast Rain with the Xoph bow, does that mean the Atziri flask adds 40% more damage? Does the Chieftain bonus of "20% of physical damage added as extra fire damage" still work at that point? The way damage calculation works is by iterating through the 5 types (physical, lightning, cold, fire, chaos), first applying any increases/reductions, then any "added as", then finally applying any conversions (in the order I listed them in, i.e. you can't convert fire to lightning). Any generic elemental bonuses only apply once (cold damage converted to fire won't apply elemental bonuses twice) So yes, that Chieftain bonus does kick in.

RIP Account posted:Seems like a cool build but could use some refining to abuse the BV bug. The gloves don't seem to be doing anything in his example for instance so could use those for the bug (that hasn't been fixed yet has it?). Could also fit a 3rd curse into it with a +curse ring/ammy/boots and a witchfire for more scaling. I never thought about using doedres to proc a savage hit before. I wasn't really intending to abuse that bug, that thing surfacing was pure coincidence. I just kinda wanted to try BV.

I don't have level 8 vorici yet, but I am assuming you can't buy a better claw for ~2.5ex? Just making sure you don't spend a ton of currency for 3 greens before thinking about this

It'd likely be cheaper for me to just fix the colors than it would be for me to buy a ton of them and corrupt them myself to try to recreate that perfect roll. Also yeah 2.5ex is ridiculous compared to what would likely be like 15 vaal orbs to get the sockets right. Heck, RGG would work, if the red is in the right spot. Or even not in the right spot; it'd be cheaper to fully link it than to reroll it again (I want to put whirling blades, faster attacks, Hatred on it, but I'd be willing to replace the whirling blades with leap slam) McFrugal fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Jan 31, 2017 |

Cerepol posted:how about every day in the league after 2 weeks adds slight experience bonuses that keep growing up until the end of the league. That would actually be a pretty good idea, every 2 weeks or each month into the league increasing the experience gain across the board, it might help with the problem of leagues dying off near the end and people not bothering after a point.

Ornedan posted:When you move an item to or from a gstash page, the gstash page and your character's inventory have to be immediately saved. Normal personal stash tab and inventory modifications can be cached on the instance server, and multiple changes buffered together into periodical save actions. There's also the bit where an update needs to be pushed to every other client that's currently observing the gstash page you modified. Couldn't you fix that by making a sort of "temporary" page where you can ctrl+click all your stuff into and then you hit the "Submit" button which moves all in the temporary page into the gstash in one go?

Took a break from poe, first time back with significant playtime after missing out on Atlas and Ascendancy. Here's my thoughts on SC breach: Finished 37/40 challenges in Breach SC league. First time playing a softcore league cause I usually play HC due to time constraints (no time to reroll every death). My profile: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/FGL/characters Only bergynoober (Raider) and bugattiyuber (Inquisitor) are still geared. This season I made in order: Level 90 life based cookie cutter Blade Flurry Assassin. Damage was op but because I was life based and kept getting 1 shot at 5.5k hp and couldn't afford/justify paying 80 chaos for a Belly of the Beast (which was its cost at the time due to Mathil) dismantled him. Level 93 life based Dual Obliteration Hidden Potential Blade Vortex Berserker (made him right after the first Blade vortex nerf. Dismantled him right before I heard of the multiple BV bug but I was bored of playing BV anyways). This guy was stupid op with 6L cospris, level 21 added chaos, even after the first BV nerf. I cleared all content except for the guardians with him. Kept getting 1 shot by guardians with my 6.7k hp so I decided to make a CI character next.] Level 90 HOWA CI Raider - these claws are retarded. Did everything that my berserker couldn't cause of the screen long attack range combined with 10k ehp. CI + Vaal pact needs a look at Level 92 Vaal Sparker Inquisitor - Made this guy to level my howa gems. Farmed strands and shaped dunes with atlas strategy. Completely mind numbing and the least enjoyable of the characters. I played vaal spark for 2 seasons in the past but never after the ascendancy/atlas patch so it was mostly in HC Dried lake as a Witch. Vaal spark still felt the same as before. The only difference was using spark instead of arc to generate souls... I was surprised at how powerful a 4L spark was but I guess inquisitor is just like that. Also, it cost a dumb amount to fix my atlas since I was at 123/126 completion before I decided to change it to 98/126. Challenges: didn't complete the corrupt jewels, end game grinds, and upgrade breach unique challenge. I did complete the 10000 map tier one cause I made a vaal sparker though. I leeched a shaper kill off my friend who was also doing it and have been too lazy to kill him myself. Thoughts: Discovered that contrary to my past belief, going pure dps glass cannon isn't a good idea even in softcore. Sure it was fun to breeze through content and do maps without maximum resist but I hit a wall at around ~90 where I would lose more in exp/time then returns due to deaths. This was also because I decided to roll 2x life based characters cause once again I figured who needs to survive hits its sc deaths don't matter lol! which was a pretty big mistake in terms of time invested:progression. CI is king after all. Getting enough EHP to survive 1 shots in combination with enough damage to instant leech with vaal pact is pretty op. I was doing T15s with less than 40 resist as my HOWA raider cause my massive ehp pool allowed me to survive until I leeched it all back. Breaches are fun. Kinda glad I didn't start HC cause breaches really started ramping up in difficulty once entering merciless. I would die countless times cause I adapted a lazy playstyle and just stood in Esh's lightning ball crap or dying to invisible mobs outside the breach radius. The loot and exp is crazy though plus everything turning red and purple was a neat change of pace from the usual color palettes. Shaping your atlas is pretty much essential if your goal is to make currency/gain exp. I spent at least 5 ex back when exalts were 70c each in reshaping it and it was completely worth it. Chaining easy layouts is so much better and more efficient then doing stupid poo poo like crematorium and shrines all day. I missed playing the atlas patch so this was my first league using the atlas system and I filled out my atlas as much as I could initially which was a big mistake. Lesson learned for future season(s). Overall had a fun time this season but the whole atlas shaping and chaining strands/dunes burnt me out. This whole clear speed meta thing was especially apparent in SC league since there's not really an incentive to invest a ton of currency into survival when you can eat that 1 death and make up for it in clear speed. I was thinking of messing around with a HC SSF character until the end of the league as a change of pace cause of this. Gonna avoid doing anything poison based though, the opness of blade vortex was enough for me.

What you suggested is not the same as what happens now, you either have to lock the stash page you are modifying for other users or you will have to deal with another using putting in something that you modified locally but haven't submitted yet. It is also less intuitive for users who don't understand what goes on behind the scenes.

yum posted:Shaping your atlas is pretty much essential if your goal is to make currency/gain exp. This is 100% not true. I made a boatload of currency without running the same map all season. If you want to optimize your exp or whatever, then yeah, go for it. But customizing your atlas is in no way required to make currency. Also, life is still fine. It's not as powerful as ES at the moment, but I've done all the guardians as life with no deaths. I haven't tried Shaper this season (did him last season with life based Grandpa totems).

don't think he was arguing life is bad so much as the fact that life is way more prone to getting one shot, which is true no matter how you cut it. hopefully there'll be a bit of rebalancing in 3.0 but im not gonna hold my breath

It'd be nice if there were more ways to die that were a flurry of small hits. Like boss level suppressing fire. If the DPS is high enough, it'd help solve - life build aldosterone always also having armor or evasion or block to help.

Yolomon Wayne posted:Is it really "more" damage or just "increased" damage? More obviously, 15% increased is 1 affix on a jewel (and not necessarily an optimal one). At 400% increased damage, 110% increased attack speed, 80% crit chance (let's say this is the final number after Diamond Flask and accuracy penalty is taken into account) and 300% crit multi, a jewel that gives 8% attack speed, 15% damage, and 15% multi makes your average DPS go from 27.3x of your base DPS to 30.54x. That's 11.86% more damage. If the tree got a bit less offensive stats in the first place or the jewel was a 4 affix one, it'd be easily 15%. A good damage jewel or other worthwhile notable generally gives 10-15% more damage at the point where your skill tree only has 3 or 4 big notables left to pick up before lvl 100.

theshim posted:How were you getting your crit so high? I ran up a Doomfletch Pathfinder with nearly identical tree and stuff but I can't realistically get my crit chance much above 50% (with 3 power charges from my Frenzy PCoC setup). I have around 65% crit chance with 4 power charges (I think technically frenzy would be better but I don't care very much to reset bandits). This produces about 80% real crit chance with accuracy and Diamond Flask taken into account I think. Inc Crit Strikes gem makes the bow up to around 8.5-9% base crit, and I'm not sure why you can't get it past 50% because I don't have anything increasing that besides my tree and power charges. I'm pretty sure my only crit clusters on the tree are both bow clusters, the Shadow starting cluster, and the right side cluster near Acro. Let's see: 200% from 4 Power Charges 108% from 20/20 ICS 102% from Lethality 100% from King of the Hill 90% from Trickery/Assassination 50% from Heartseeker = 650% increased crit chance With 8.5% base, this is 63.75%. Also most other crit attacking builds can get higher than this as far as I know.
