I had a detonate dead assassin last league that relied on critting to get fat ignites. I really enjoyed the playstyle and wanted to make something similar work this league. Unfortunately it seems detonate dead got the short end of the stick this patch and the ignites it causes are trash even when linked with a lot of more dot dlg gems.

Is the new node near shadow that makes ailments benefit from crits going to make it not suck?

I have a witch elementalist backup plan but at lvl 64 now it does not seem that i can get any ignites rolling that can kill anything other that filler white trash mobs.

I really want to play DD but will the game let me?

This game intimidated me a bit, but all I really needed to get into it was my husband going 'its hard to respec fully and you can gently caress yourself over easily, finding a guide helps' and I got into it pretty quickly after that.

I'm to the point now where I know I don't know lots of things, but its fun to learn them, and I have a build that can do yellow maps just fine and probably higher (once they actually drop). I'm still getting scammed at trading but I'm sure I'll figure out which things I'm underselling sooner or later.

I did my first three Beachheads (t15 ver.) today, the first time was quite fun but already by the third it had gotten fairly tedious imo, just because it's so slow. Doesn't help that the layout is kinda annoying and encourages you to either backtrack or make like another half-circle around the map to kill everything. But the boss is the real annoying part, other than the times where two spawn simultaneously it's literally just like a super-extended Harbinger fight and no more interesting. Boss-room took me like 4 minutes despite killing every wave near-instantly.

Also does the big Harbinger differ from the others in ANY way other than amount of health/loot?

I did get a mask piece though so that paid for all three maps and change on its own.

Had my first run really stacking map mods to the ceiling today, good times. Was always sorta curious about Beyond stuff, since it doesn't really happen too often in regular maps, but with the density in this and with two breaches it was popping off constantly and the whole thing was frantic and fun. 10/10 would slaughter again

If you use an orb of alchemy on a map it'll turn it rare, so that can roll a number of mods

If you vaal it and get lucky, you can get up to 8 mods

Then if you add sextants to the atlas on maps around the map location, you can add even more mods

Friend goons I finally bought a Premium Stash (go GGG!) but I'm lost at selling stuff and I feel I either overprice or underprice. Is there an up to date guide on youtube? I found one from ZiggyD but it was uploaded 4 years ago!

poe.trade

search for the item

scroll down past the top 5-6 people until you see everyone listing it for the same price

list it for 1 less than that

enjoy the sale

also pro tip download the AHK poe trade macro so you can ctrl-d on every item and see the price

In general, if it has a big life roll and some good resists, it is probably worth something. Crit, percent increased damage, and flat damage are also valuable mods on jewelry.

For uniques, look it up on poe.trade. Most uniques will be vendor material, and some will get thrown into a 1c buyout tab. For mid-tier or better uniques, the rolls you get can make a big difference. One of the ways flippers make money is to pick up a common but highly used unique, and buy the ones with super rolls. A crap starkonja will sell for 1c, while I've sold a near perfect one for 25c.

For jewels, you really want life and a good damage mod or two. They are tough to price if you aren't used to them, but the great ones can be super expensive.

In general, if you are unsure, price it higher than you think it should reasonably be and gradually bring it down. You can always make things cheaper. Personally I have two tabs. A 1c buyout quad tab for crap, and an individually priced item tab. Every so often old things in the 1c tab go to the vendor. I occasionally mark down anything in the individually priced tab if it has been there for a bit and hasn't sold.

Awesome!

Are there any invites left to the active goon guild? I got recruited to the side-goon project guild because I guess the main one ran out of space. Has any cleared up?
It's a bummer being the only one playing all day and no one to play or chat with in guild.

They're all insanely strong builds, but I'm leaning Wander. I haven't played SRS but I'd be surprised if it can match a properly built speedy Wander on clearspeed (DP zerker won't in my experience), and Barrage is just disgusting as ever against bosses even if you don't have luxuries like Dying Sun or helm enchant. I kinda wish I didn't roll an ele wander for Mayhem because drat would I like to try out that new helm for it. Even with a regular 4L, not being able to afford Essence gloves for the pseudo-5L, KB cleared amazingly.

I wonder if he ever quietly buys up a whole bunch of stuff he is about to do a video on, and then wait for the price spike and sell.

I kinda doubt it, dude doesn't have that much currency most leagues given the amount of time he plays. Also he's usually had to strip down his previous project just to fund the next one. Doesn't really seem his style.

I'd say wander would both be the easiest to get going, and the most cost effective in the long run. Any speedfarmer without bisco's collar isn't a speedfarmer, and getting enough dex to run haste and vaal haste on baron SRS without astramentis is a pretty big pain in the rear end unless you make significant compromises on gear/passives or have poo poo loads of money to burn to get awesome rings and jewels.

perhaps they could revise the bonuses of the current ones too so that brine king + yugul or ryslatha are not unambiguously the best choices for almost everyone

if there isn't a guide I would import a pathfinder into PoB and compare it to a raider there
