So thanks to everyone who helped me gear out my SRS. I re-rolled the staff and got the Grip of Council gloves. I'm sitting at 21k dps per head with lvl 19 gems and no quality. Pretty much satisfied because any more upgrades would cost way more than I want to put in, a Kaom's plate and Baron helmet. Now for the next build! What builds are out there that does A LOT of dmg and are great for mapping and bosses. My goal is to be able to do Uber Atziri and Shaper/4 bosses. Raider/Pathfinder seem really strong ascendancy classes. Budget wise would like something reasonable but I understand in order to get a ton of damage I need to invest in it. Thanks!

A new player who wants to trade is going to go to trade chat and be super ripped off. Just lol if you're okay with this. I'm not even talking about price fixing or scamming on 3rd party sites. How about they fix it so I don't need to use 3rd party tools to trade in their game.

And you'll need gear totaling what that costs to do uber or shaper unless you have reflexes like a god.

I started playing this game two weeks ago and it's really fun, then I made a new character with a guide after getting a feel for the game and it got a lot more fun but I really wish they had an in-game database that let you search through skill gems, or at least skill gems you can potentially see at that point in the game.

I did my first few guardians wearing a biscos this league for example). Xoph's blood is pretty drat expensive, but you can make plenty of cash and have fun mapping while you earn that dough in the meantime without it. Haven't actually pulled off uber atziri with it yet, but that's more because I need to get good at spinning and not so much because the damage isn't there. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1819239 is the guide i've largely been following, it's got some nice options for running in a 5l or without xoph's blood

If you do a side quest in the Library area of Act 3 you get access to a vendor that sells every skill gem except for the ones you unlock at act four and the 5 or so non-vaal gems that aren't sold by any vendor ever.

Yeah that ghost guy was good for act three but then there's a bunch of different ones that appear even later and I don't have a unified place to actually look at them all. I just want an in-game database that tells me which skill gems are sold by which vendor and which skill gems I can't buy at all, even if it's just a temporary unavailability.

Debeon's Dirge is not a cold version of Ngamahu, it is just a good generic ele cyclone weapon. You are getting a high dps weapon and losing ALL of the single target DPS that the Ngamahu orbs provide. I would never bother with that build when you can just do Ngamahu and path up to Avatar of Fire instead of buying Xoph's. Even a 5link Cyclone kills all trash in a T16 map instantly when going past it, extra trash clear dps is pointless.

Oh, well in that case...I can't think of anything in-game that tells you all that stuff. The wiki has all that info, but I can understand the frustration of not having it in the game. deep dish peat moss posted:You don't even have to do the library quest to unlock the A6 gem vendor, I think you just have to do the first quest in A6 to clear the twilight strand. Still need to do the Library quest in order to unlock that set of gems though.

If they do fix trading, I hope they keep the thing where if you underprice an item you get a million whispers. That way a newbie can learn that they've underpriced something instead of having no clue at all that it happened.

Fixit posted:Really? I thought 160c was considered expensive gear. I paid ~550c for my xoph's blood. All told I think I've dumped just shy of 2000c into it actually, but basically all of that isn't really necessary (and i saved some money by doing stuff like 6linking my 50% damage bronn's for less than buying one outright, divining up my own 100% quant biscos, etc). The point I'm trying to make is that you can spend shitloads of money making a build better (I still want some nice opal rings, but I gotta build up my cash again first), but that first 160c will get you enough of a build that you can farm up anything you could want.

Even a 5link Cyclone kills all trash in a T16 map instantly when going past it, extra trash clear dps is pointless. I agree with this. It's good enough, but nghamu's seems better (and cheaper to start, since you don't need to 6l anything). That said, one fun thing I tried for a bit was charged dash ngahamu, you could proc molten burst pretty fast on bosses and I was clearing shaped beach with a level 1 charged dash swapped in for my cyclone. It might not be the most efficient thing though... you're losing some of the lightning damage with avatar of fire on. Something fun to dick around with for sure though.

Found this little thing earlier  Has another suffix slot open as well, in case I need something later. Not exactly best in slot, but a fair bit better than whatever I was already using.

Holy wow! Most I ever invested in a character was maybe 2.5ex and that was super expensive to me. I wanted to spend another 4ex but never saved enough up. It takes me a while to earn currency because I can run maybe 5-10 maps a night (if I focus just on mapping and not looking at my gear or build).

That way a newbie can learn that they've underpriced something instead of having no clue at all that it happened. The problem though is you've usually sold the item to someone using some other tool by the time poe.trade catches up as I found out yesterday when I slightly underpriced a Wise Oak, sold it in 10 minutes, then roughly 20 minutes later the poe.trade deluge started

Okay, I need your help on this one guys. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/_AXARCA_/characters My AvionDelChapecoense character is doing kinda bad in maps - she has Not Good DPS and survivability, and I want to know what can I do/buy to improve. What should I aim for? I haven't had an upgrade drop in a LONG time (at least not one with the right sockets).

Reiterpallasch posted:the second worst part of it is how much out-of-game knowledge you're expected to accumulate about the economy if you want to function, yeah some stat rolls are combo health/armor or es/stun % so if people see 6 they say huh I guess that's it. But me, an intellectual, can look at the item and do some math and take an educated guess that the item could have an open slot. If it does, you can craft another resistance and flip the item instantly for 20c+ or Soothing Vapors posted:The problem though is you've usually sold the item to someone using some other tool by the time poe.trade catches up you can do this. a python script i cobbled together out of a few different scripts that checks every item listed against its poe.ninja average price and gives me an autowhisper if its over a certain threshold.  do I want this to go away? yep. but I'm going to abuse it until they take it from my cold headhunter-having hands also I should note that that witchfire is listed below the price, but has an insanely high roll. I could probably flip that for 10c profit easily. welcum 2 poe mbt fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Aug 21, 2017 |

Azran posted:Okay, I need your help on this one guys. You need a much better weapon. Try searching for at least like 400 physical dps, on a two handed sword that shouldn't cost too much. I'd aim for about 4k hp going into maps with capped elemental resists. Either get more flat hp from gear or get more passive nodes.

Has there been any word on whether it will be possible to link an Xbox PoE account to a PC one? Like I know the realms and characters will be separate, but if I bought a stash tab or something on PC I don't see why that couldn't be extended to the Xbox.

enraged_camel posted:Nah, the problem was that the loot drop rates sucked, so buying the gear you needed off the AH became the only viable way to progress in higher difficulties. Dying was expensive as hell (you had to repair your gear), so after reaching a certain point most people just gave up on the game itself and sat and spammed "refresh" on the AH hoping for better items. cinci zoo sniper posted:Same, which is why I mentioned earlier that I'd like in-game function equivalent to poe.trade. Phobophilia posted:naw, this bit would not work, then you'd use another character to mule over items from ssf to the regular league I'm also still amazed that people think POE is accessible. I played D2, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, and D3, and it's still not accessible. Someone stumbling upon it on Steam that didn't grow up on ARPGs is going to hit a real hard brick wall pretty quickly, and they're not going to know what they hosed up unless they go combing through reddit and build guides.

The Wonder Weapon posted:But now your SSF guy is toast and can't farm anymore No, because that's what the mule circumvents. Your SSF stash is shared between characters, so you just make a new level 1 character that you load up what you want to sell and transfer just him out of SSF. The only way to prevent this would be to get rid of the per-character transfer option.

Just started this yesterday, pretty good so far. Good Diablo 2 vibes, seems closer to a sequel than Diablo 3 in many respects. I actually really like the way they jacked the Materia System and Sphere Grid from Final Fantasy, my only complaint is that it's a bit overwhelming at the outset. Surprised to see a bleed-centric duelist seems to be working well so far. I imagine it will abruptly cease to work in the late game, but it's pretty fun now. I'm hoping to avoid guides until I try a few builds from scratch. Respec points reset the whole grid, right? Does anyone else get like 100 exceptions every time they close the client? I'm not sure what the problem is, but it only happens when I close the game.

It really is the spiritual sequel to d2 in the way d3 was not. Respec points are one node at a time, probably if you're rolling characters from scratch you'll probably reroll one more time once you actually decide to look at a guide. Or maybe you're a mad genius!
