I powered through act 2 on a league character and didn't run into any new masters. Are there specific zones more likely to host them? I'm running a necro so Catriona (Catarina?) is gonna be a help, and it's been long enough since I did standard league master unlocks that I don't have a clue.

Haku and Elreon will be the only ones to show up in A1, Tora and Catarina will show up starting A2, Vagan and Vorici A3. Zana is the very very very last mission before endgame and Leo is just chilling in A3 town waiting for you to invite him.

After a master is able to show up there's even odds any one of them will show up.

Stepped into Merc Lab since I figured I'd finally get it out of the way before it resets today as Gargoyles & Fonts are easy. Looked up where one of the darkshrines was since they seem to be pretty awesome lately from my earlier lab runs. Click it:

"Labyrinth Traps will be disabled in the Aspirant's Trial."

:stare:

Yes. Yes please. I am never skipping a Darkshrine ever again.

there is a super rare effect that just makes you unkillable.

So I got into act 6 and any kind of elemental attack is absolutely destroying me. What kind of resistances do I need to shoot for?

All of the elements maxed or as close to maxed as possible. 75% is the cap on resists so you need that much + enough to offset whatever story-based maluses you have. You don't need chaos resist but it's nice to have if you're not CI.

poe is pretty forgiving until the late game and as long as you aren't building in a way that makes absolutely no sense, you get more than enough respec points through the leveling process that it's really not easy to build yourself into a corner

there is no particular need to look at guides to make a character that can get to maps at the least

Act 6 is basically a gentle reminder that resistances exist. You should obviously get capped if you can manage it, but after around 35-40% it starts being noticeable really. That's about when I tend to notice attacks go from "HOLY gently caress" to "OW OW OW OW".

I had -30% cold resistance going into A6 on my SR Inquisitor. It was a fun discovery that cold damage mobs were plentiful there.

Yeah and wait until you actually try to understand the mechanics behind any of it.

About level 14 now and still feeling pretty innocent! Nothing too complicated yet

What's a good builds/passive build for the archer? I'm new and would like to not brick my character later on. I like crits in other games so if those are possible that'd be cool. I'm just level 5 and just did the medicine chest mission.

Discipline, Haste, Clarity and Lightning Trap are good, the others are very niche and 7 of them plus 1 sacrifice fragment can be vendored for a vaal orb.

Vaal Breach is very, very rare and worth a lot, so keep an eye out for it too.

Picked up a pretty decently rolled Nuro's Harp earlier today, anyone know if a build is feasible with this anymore? Only thing I'm really seeing are builds from 2.4 era outside some very barebones ideas; I'm a little curious how it could interact with the new addition to Beacon of Ruin for Elementalist that gives increased effect for non-damaging ailments: would that include chill / freeze duration or just the amount of slow from said chill?

I was slumming around the class forums for build ideas earlier and saw a Scion build that uses that bow with ranged attack totems and Ice Shot. It's from 2.6 but they are working on revising it for 3.0.

It seemed pretty nifty.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Don't think I've ever run Scion since the Ascendancy feels weird to me; took a look at the players build for 3.0 and they currently have Resolute Technique, not sure if that's just for leveling as I assume that we'd want crits for freezing potential later on.

I got my resists up to 30% with Fire at 75% and the rest of Act 6 was easy - but it really didn't seem like there were any more dangerous mobs like the fire totems in the first couple of areas, weirdly enough. Maybe those are just stuck there to remind you about that new debuff and to encourage you to buy some resistance gear.

I will never understand why people path up to the big life ring just for the notable, while ignoring all the 4% life nodes that are much easier to get to or even directly adjacent to the existing path.

If you need to use the life wheel to hit whatever life threshold you're aiming for, it's more efficient to pick up the 5% small nodes over 4% nodes you're pathing past since points are finite.

Is this a bug or something? I thought evasion chests couldn't roll life mods this high?
Trade macro display also seems to be confused.

I'm not enjoying Lacerate as much as I expected given it's motherfucking sword beams.

Was thinking of trying out one of those totem builds since I've never played with totems much. The idea of Searing Bond and Flame Totem (or something like Fireball totems) to make my own fire & laser rock show seems awesome. I'm just undecided between Marauder or Templar.

I squeeeeaked through A6 and just reached A7 on my own SR inquisitor (great minds :hfive:) on a total of 3% cold resist. It was, indeed, an adventure.

I only encountered Elreon while in Act 1 and I am currently in Act 2. Will Haku show up eventually going forward to do I need to go through Act 1 areas again until I see him?

Has anyone any experience with Essence Drain? I just read the description and I might want to go ED-Contagion (Trickster? Occultist?), but sifting through the PoE official forums is not exactly easy for a noob and I don't get if it can be a functional build or not. Mind that I don't have the slightest idea on how the economy works and I wouldn't mind going SSF.
