eh getting 8 horizon shards 6 chaos shards and 4 harbinger shards at least is meaningful. it's like, a chaos orb worth of junk total.

just cancel harbinger league and repeat breach league. breach league was the best

All I know is there was a hand and then i clicked on it and then I died

Another time I clicked on it and I didnt die, and then there was some loot from the anime monsters, but then the purple went away and so did the loot

so I dont understand breaches either

Look in the general vicinity of the breaches for barely-visible shimmering hands (they're not always there though). They'll spawn if the breach gets big enough and give you more shards.

The purpose of breaches is to run around and get as many hi-fives as possible.

I followed some dumbshit guide that had me using just ED including GMP and picking up the projectiles piercing wheel. Goddamnit.

Piercing is good because spreading ED is easier if you can reliably hit weak enemies to kill them quickly, and that's harder if there are a bunch of buff dudes in the way. I definitely don't think GMP would be worth it though.

I've decided, it will be a raw phys Cyclone Slayer, no other gimmicks this time like ngamahu or dirge. I may have made a poor decision, but lord knows I'll just make like five more alts this league anyway. :v:

Man I've been doing Mathil's SR Trickster route and you sure can be repeatedly snap stunned out of casting and die miserably real fast in maps. I might give up SSF here and get better gear. Save me Brine King!

Try scion. The extra skill points, plus being able to start at the shadow nodes means that you have access to a ton of life and life regen nodes.

I've been running an Oro flicker build this league, and it's loving hilarious. I'm just really glad that I've never had any problems with epilepsy or seizures, because I'm pretty sure this build can cause some serious issues for people that suffer from that.

I think I got a flipping problem, I tell myself I'm not going to spend much of my time flipping items on poe.trade, then I see someone list a ring like this for 5c and it sells for 150c within a few hours.

At least I gave the guy 3x what he was asking for so he chose me over the other 50 people asking for it.

The XBOX release, will it be cross platform? As in can xbox users play with pc players?




So this is my first league, and I've kind of been doing my own thing. On my tree you'll see I've taken a few ideas here and there, but now I need some optimization because I do want to get as far as possible map wise.
https://pastebin.com/BYw9ELti

I'm level 78, I've 186% life from the tree/4.8k health, 162% armor/11.4k armor.
  • My initial goal was to become a facetanking berzerker who leeched life like a madman to stay immortal. Problem with that is there's no way I can reach Vaal Pact with what I've done (I didn't even know it existed since I stayed within the marauder skill area).
  • Another issue is that I'm not sure if I need as much life leech as I have, so if it turns out I can get some skill points back I'd love to do it. This si mainly an issue for me because I weear Death's Oath armor, which hits me with chaos damage every time I kill something. Benefits seemed to outweigh the negatives though because I thought armor was actually important and it gave me 2.3k right off the bat :(
  • I have 2 jewel sockets that I have housing 2 Survival Skills crimson jewels (+40% chance to deal double damage with Heavy Strike). I don't use Heavy Strike anymore, so half the jewel is useless to me - and on top of that I'm not really sure if I need the +20% physical damage they give me, so if there is something else that's rec'd to put in there I'd love to hear it.
  • I know I need more life. I figure my boots and helm need immediate replacing, I'm just unsure what I should look for other than +Life

Awesome!

the xbox version will be balanced somewhat differently, mostly because you can't aim a lot of skills precisely with a controller, so cross-platform play would be basically impossible to implement

Unless this has been changed while I wasn't looking, the dot double dipping changes mean that the damage penalty on GMP only applies to the projectile component of Essence Drain but the dot does full damage. Should clear a ton faster than ED + Contagion until you're well into maps (maybe even then) and you can swap Swift Affliction for bosses.

Feel free to try out both, the tree shouldn't change that much.

Pierce used to be a huge thing for ED, both as a source of damage and for the QoL from piercing things.

I really want to try a trickster with the new DoT changes to ED and see how much fun it is / how far I can push it.
