Mechanics question: there's no real limit on stacking negative resistances is there?

Like say I were to have a mob cursed with Elemental Weakness (-39%) and Conductivity (-44%), with a totemdad in a Heirophant Bringer of Rain hat (20% pen) using a Brain Rattler (20% pen) along with a pen gem (37% pen), 3% pen on the tree, and have applied EE (-50%) of the correct element.

Without getting into curse effectiveness and base mob resistances, would that totemdad have an effective MORE multiplier of...213%?

I need to know for uh science.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. In case anyone's curious, I managed to sell it for 180c. No idea if I could've gotten more, but I'm stoked since it's my biggest sale ever (by a lot)

Say, monster has 100% fire resistance (so, 75% effective and 25% overcap).

Case A - 1000 damage fire spell will deal 250 damage.

Case B - 25% penetration. Same spell deals (75-25) -> 500 damage.

Case C - 25% resistance reduction. Same spell deals (100-25) -> 250 damage.

Case D - 50% resistance reduction, 25% penetration. Same spell deals (100-50 => 50-25) -> 750 damage.

The big thing to note is that map bosses and shaper have massively reduced effectiveness of curses
Act and map bosses have 60% less Curse Effect. The Shaper and his guardians have 80% less Curse Effect.
Hence the main place where mobs dont blow up almost instantly curses are a lot weaker.

What are the purpose of getting all these masters to your hideout? Do they have any benefit beyond allowing access to their crafting benches? All the items they sell are pretty poo poo at my level (34) and I find better stuff off drops.
Is their purpose mostly for crafting?

as they level they get more interesting, letting you convert currency at a discount compared to regular vendors and selling skill gems with quality on them, as well as (rarely) drop-only gems like enlighten and empower. also they each have a unique affix that will be on a piece of gear they sell each day, and some of those are good; expensive to make any use of since you have to buy it as a blue and then craft a good item out of it though. crafting benches are the biggest benefit.

Inviting them to your hideout also lets you do daily missions, which gives a big bonus to their level in comparison to normal "wild" missions. Zana's daily is also essentially a free map.

This is pretty decent find I think? Both damage, crit and AS mods tier 1, prefix space for +physical% or whatever from Vagan. Saving for some hammertime character, or until I migrate from SSF if it's worth a thing.

Is that a skill support gem that will reduce the cooldown on my Flame Dash skill?

So I finally made it to level 90 in HC after dying at 86 and 83 this season! Yay!

I have a question, this is the first time I've ever shaped a T6 to T11 with the intent of poop socking a thousand Spider Forests. I've experimented a bit with sextants(have all neighbors and neighbors of neighbors up) and I've been alching and even putting a bloodline mod on maps and can't seem to quite self sustain. I bought three maps to start and some times I'll get 1-2 more shaped spider forest drops per run but then I'll go on a dry run. I'm even wearing biscos.

I have every t9 completed with the bonus aside from some of the unique maps. Any advice or did I just get stupid unlucky.

Edit: forgot to specify that I sealed excavation after completing it for the bonus too so spider forest is the only open t11

Also also: I'm chiseling them to 20% before alching

Nope. There's a Harbinger item that reduces cooldowns (which is actually not all that expensive if you don't mind a corrupted one), but the only gem that does cooldown reduction is for traps only.

Over a long enough timeline you will sustain t11 with just 1 alch/map and nothing else but you can go on cold streaks at any time, I remember going like 24 maps without a map drop at the start of the league, it was nuts, I literally thought my loot filter was broken or something.

Having a t12 or t13 shaped/unlocked as well will benefit sustain over the long term. They have a slightly higher chance of rolling a red map tier than your t11 does.

This has no effect whatsoever on map drops.

Map drops are solely affected by the IIQ on the map itself (and anything added by Zana mods), not by any IIQ on your gear/etc.

Aye, a clan member tipped me off to this after I posted!

Thanks for the responses, I'm no stranger to getting hosed in the rear end by RNG so I'll just buy a half dozen more shaped maps and get to gettin.

Looks like it's gonna wind up at around 620 total dps once you craft the vagan mod on it. Poe.trade doesn't even list anything past 600 dps with that high a crit chance, so I'd say it's pretty good yeah. There's one with 6.1% crit priced at 45c and also 6 socketed but I think that's underpriced.

That's probably the default loot filter hiding some items. Is there no binding on the Xbone version to toggle "show all items?" Shameful if true

One thing some people do is buy some 11-13% quality gems from players for a chaos or so as soon as they are able. If you level those instead of 0% quality gems you can get some of the benefits cheaply and without investing too much time.

you can get 15-18% pretty cheap in most gems and then you can just use a few prisms to finish them off

So how do you get more ascendancy points? Is there a limit?

This game keeps getting better. Amazing that it's free. Other developers should take note. The whole City of Sarn Act I just went through had some beautiful maps.

God I wish.

I've only played pretty sporadically, this is the first league I'm trying to do better and understand the game. I'm about through act 10 now and I honestly don't understand the maps or prophecies at all yet. I think I need to read the wiki.

Studying for a game. What a weird world we live in.

maps are areas and also items. they drop in the usual rarity varieties and currency items work on them just as they do equipment. you use them in a map device and it spawns an area to complete, and modifiers on the map item are applied to the spawned area, such as "inhabited by goatmen' or "monsters do 109% extra damage as cold", and these increase both the difficulty and drop rate. the maps are linked together on a map screen which you get access to once you've beaten the acts, and only maps which are connected to the one you are in, or which you have beaten before, will drop as you kill stuff in a map. tier 1 maps all drop in the regular world to get you started, but the rest drop inside of other maps. however you're not mechanically bound by the connections and you can buy/be given basically any map at any time to complete.

prophecies are just "here's a thing which will happen now' or "go do this thing for a reward"
