What's up with the playable characters not saying stuff/reacting in the new acts? Usually after killing a boss in Acts 1-4 they would say something and it was a nice little touch

I decided to try out LL SRS this league. Should I be gem swapping for bosses? Currently using SRS-Minion Damage-Elemental Focus-Minion Speed-Culling Strike-Melee Splash. Auraragi shows what I'm currently running for gear. It needs some upgrades but ES is hard to come by cheap this league. I plan on doing a lot more MF since I typically party with others. Any suggestions for upgrade priority?

I already keep a deidbell around to swap in for trials because traps become insanely deadly if I'm wearing abyssus Do abyssus users typically switch to a different hat when fighting Izaro?

A few of the npcs got different actors for 3.0 but redoing voice work for a player character would be a lot more work on top of the cost of new lines for every playable character across every new act. $$$

You know what would be neat? A guild hideout. They have all the technology for this, I don't imagine it would be that hard to set up.
I think it would be pretty useful. It'd be larger than a hideout obviously, and it would show up on the world map like the Aspirant's Plaza and the Hideout. The best masters in the guild would show up, so everyone can use those crafting recipes and poo poo. They could probably add some other neat guild related features as well.

Got to 85 with Hiero frostbolt totems and a 5L Taryn's. Good build, solid clear speed though a bit lacking in single-target. 5k life and 1.4k unreserved mana for MoM make it pretty tanky too. Only died twice so far: act 10 Kitava filling the arena with fire and ran out of instant life flask, and running my friend through act 10 Kitava, same exact story. Never found the safe spot for that move. Of course I got impatient and rerolled a stupid hipster build as soon as I could fund it. Scion (going rear end-zerker), Cyclone Cast on Crit Dark Pact. Just hit 69 and put on my 5L Cherrubim's and it's finally starting to feel good. Vaal Pact, blasphemy warlord's and assassin's mark (thanks Doedre's ring), crappy Vagan dagger with crafted crit chance, and stuck wearing an Ungil's Harmony to get enough crit chance for the foreseeable future. Bosses are still rough though, and I'm probably going to get a carry for merc and uber lab. Going Path of the Marauder to grab all of the juicy life on the left side of the tree, and won't have the Assassin node until I do uber lab. Overall I'm just happy that it functions, and clearspeed is actually getting decent! Mentat Radnor fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Aug 10, 2017 |

How do multiple curse on hit curses overwrite each other if I don't have a 2nd curse source? The guide I'm using has one setup for herald of ice to assassin's mark for power charges (which I'm thinking of dropping now that they're nerfed a bit and I only get three), and another with frenzy to ele weakness for boss killing. Presumably last one wins except with herald every single hit would reapply it?

When curse on hit is linked to herald of ice the curse is only applied by the frozen enemy explosion portion, not by every hit. So only enemies killed within a pack will be effected by it, basically just used to gain power charges.

Does anyone have a good Wild Strike build? I looked around a bit, but I only saw 2.6 guides, and I don't know what's still good in melee since I usually run casters. Alternately, I'd like to try Charged Dash, but people on the official forums were complaining that it's under-tuned.

My only complaints with the game right now off the top are my head: More stash tabs should be visible without the need to scroll sideways, 10% chance for a single breach in a map should be upped to a chance for 1-3 breachs, too many things are turned into one-of's and breach uniques had a lot of build variety. Master rotations need to be a thing of the past and unnecessary to hit level 7 on them soloing. GGG has been really good at fixing most of the more annoying or problem parts of the game and I can forgive most of what's bad or done poorly about act 5-10 just because I'll never ever have to repeat a act two more times per character after I do them.

I was following a bit of this wild strike guide https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1867849/page/1 Wildstrike is a surprisingly good skill and this is also the first time I've gone berserker with vaal pact and cloaked in savagery has to be the most broken ascendancy point in the game, so long as you have something to hit and don't die to a one shot your healthbar will keep jumping from 1% to 100% every swing. Wildstrike single target damage is rather good and with 100% pierce and multiple chains baseline even unlinked to anything it can clear a pack in a swing, only complaint so far is the complaint I'd have with any namelock or multi-strike skill in that without lots and lots of attack speed it feels pretty bad to use because of how it locks you out of any other action until you finish swinging 3 times.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Lefternmost and rightmost edges of the arena have narrow spots where you can avoid fire. Awesome, thanks. Ra Ra Rasputin posted:More stash tabs should be visible without the need to scroll sideways, The stash tab UI in general is now the most pressing QoL issue in the game in my opinion. I have 36 tabs and trying to navigate between them is a constant pain in the rear end. The button to open the list should be much larger if we're forced to click on it so drat often. As you say, more tabs should be visible and clickable at once (a second row has been suggested so many times over the years), and there should be a hotkey to scroll between entire "pages" of tabs. Also, the scroll list of tabs has a bunch of empty space between its bottom and the bottom of my screen. It could be displaying another 6 tabs instead of forcing me to scroll, which is maddeningly amateur UI design. I really hope they spend some dev time on these kind of fundamental quality of life improvements.

Really having trouble getting the Doedre fight in Act 8. Ranger on Split Arrow / Frenzy, 2,5k hp, capped elemental resists and chaos at ~20%, unfortunately. Should probably try to stick to the best phase from the valve, whichever that might be? Just feel too squishy, 80+% goes to any hit that connects from the boss it feels.

I'm going to describe my experience with my first two characters in 3.0 and hopefully, someone can recommend me a build that would suit my playstyle better. My first character was a Tornado Shot Ranger (Raider). She was entirely evasion based, which meant she got squished by any and all bosses if they so much as sniffled in her general direction. Her clear speed was average, but the items for her were rather cheap, so I could gear her up a bit. I did not really like her squishiness, and frankly, it's turned me way off of evasion. I did, however, like her speed. My second character was an SRS Aura Based Witch (Necromancer). Her clear speed was rather impressive, and her survivability was better than the ranger, to a point. Right at around level 60, the build I was following had me choose Blood Magic, which coupled with my auras meant most of my health was reserved. I didn't have great ES gear ready - it was alright but not great, and my resistances were maxed. Long story short, she became squishy from not really being that squishy, but this could be mitigated with a very active play style. I had to run around a lot more than on my ranger, to let my shield recharge, and to gain enough distance to cast a couple of skulls. I also had to keep track of my shield, health, and Vaal Clarity's soul charges since that controlled if I could cast without interrupting shield recharge. All in all, this is too complicated for me. I am not having fun having to keep up with all of this in combat. On top of this, I looked at the gear I will need to get her to a decent state with this build, and it is extremely expensive. I'm relatively new, and I don't have time to grind chaos orbs all day. Note: I have both of these characters up to at least 65, in Act 8 at least. So I have some experience playing them. So to make a long story short, I don't like evasion at all, and I don't really like energy shields because they require more multitasking than I would like to be doing. I basically want an armor and/or health tank that can face roll bosses without feeling like if he gets breathed on wrong he will die. I'd also like as much damage as possible, though I know survivability usually trades this off. Lastly, I would hope that the build would be something I could afford without having to invest in new socks to poop in. What build am I looking for? I've been eyeballing various Marauder builds, and Leech Slayer Duelist, though the latter is evasion based which automatically turns me off a bit. I'd also kind of like to prevent damage from being taken, rather than taking it and leeching it back.

Mr. Despair posted:You would have gotten more dps/survivability by taking commander of darkness and mistress of sacrifice in your first two labs, and then spirit eater. Beacon of corruption is sort of an extra cherry on top of the other good ascendancies. There's a build which I tried some time ago which was relying on Beacon of Corruption first: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1726811 Level up as SRS, then switch (only from lv 38 forward) to Raise Spectre.. The trick is however to have a limit of 1 spectres (that's mandatory req, which means that you should avoid increasing that from the tree because that's the default) and link Raise Spectre - Spell Echo - Inc. AoE - Void Manipulation , etc. Spell Echo makes you cast twice, summoning two spectres, but because there's a limit of 1 - your first one explodes, leaving a cloud of nasty poo poo, like caustic arrow, but (I think) it scales better and is easier to gear in SSF. This also means that in the next cast, your already existing spectre explodes, then new one gets summoned and it explodes too. Other than that, you just link Wither - Cast when Channeling - Desecrate - whatever (I've been using summon skeletons). This bypasses the 3 charges limit on Desecrate, basically, lowering everybody's chaos res, creating bodies, which you can raise a spectre from and additionally summoning some meat-shieldy skeletons, which also explode. Doesn't need any Baron or other uniques. Not the fastest build but definitely not the slowest. And you've got at least 6 zombies with fortify which are running as meat shields. I had some good fun with it. kaaj fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Aug 10, 2017 |

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:you need way more life, dog. get + life on rings, amulet, +% on jewels Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and bought a 6L, which jumped my damage a lot. It's like you said, the goal is to kill Izaro before he ever does anything. More health would be nice, but I have been grinding out currency this league. I haven't had an exalted drop or even an item that was worth over 7c. So buying a 6L belly is way out of my reach. I bought a cheap belly yesterday and tried to get lucky, but couldn't even get it to 5L, so I sold it for a few more chaos than I paid for it. Now that I have a 6L, I am going to try to work towards replacing my jewels with +%life and one damage modifier, rather than double damage modifier. I also need to work on my flasks. Right now, I am way over on resists. (+44% on Fire, +77% on cold, and +63% on lightning). I am going to work on getting +life/physical damage jewelry as well. Luckily, I didn't pay more than 1C for any jewel or jewelry I have right now. edit: Is there a website where you can link 2 different skilltrees and it will highlight the differences? nerox fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Aug 10, 2017 |

Since hideout decorations are part of the shared mtx system you can buy a crap load of expensive decorations from the permenant leagues and use them in harbinger. Unfortunately there is no way to sort them beside by name so anytime you upgrade your hideout you have to dig for your benches.

Sometimes I want to make an optimiser that will solve the nphard problem of, "I have these non-unique slots open, I have hard requirements of +x +y z +to cap resists, movespeed on the boots, and a b c attributes to equip items and gems, plus soft competing requirements for offensive and defensive affixes, while taking in to account open slots for masters, at a minimum price, knowing that only 80% of the items indexed will actually be purchasable."

It presents to you a set of simultaneous gear to buy, rather than going piece by piece and having the requirements on your final item becoming more and more strict.
