What should I do with a huge amount of magic jewels that are piling up? I already vendor 5 junk rares together to make a new one but there are just so many magic ones.

Probably not, but with those rolls that's still 10c or so.

Yesterday I spent my last 30c on 128 coins. Six hours later, I bought a 6L Lioneye's Vision for 375c. If you pray enough to the RNG gods, they will on occasion smile upon you.

I'm thinking of trying Blade Vortex with the poison stacking gems. The 30% more damage with ailments per stack looks abusable.

I'm level 78, running T7-9 maps very easily but I just can't find any higher tier maps to drop. I might get one T9 for every 5x T7 that drops. Maps on poe.trade are cheap enough, but the people selling them don't bother responding to my messages because it's not worth their time for an Alchemy orb. Is there anything I can do to more reliably get higher tier drops? Should I use 4x Chisel on a white quality and then just Transmute / Alch them? I've got a decent stockpile of some 50 Alchemy Orbs. Also, I found a Poorjoy's Asylum but I'm not sure if I can do it. I only have about 3.6K HP due to a handful of Uniques / other outdated gear: http://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/sab669/characters MrKholin is the character I'm using now. Think I can handle the map?

deep dish peat moss posted:I agree that skele mages is sweet. This is the first summoner/pet build I've played in any ARPG (and I've played every ARPG) that feels right since Diablo 2 Skelemancer and my clear speed with From Dust is absurd. It's literally the fastest clearing character I've ever played, but I've never played Vaal Spark. Zephro fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Aug 28, 2017 |

As usual I wonder how skeleton mages would do against the shaper. Probably can't scale their damage high enough.

Sab669 posted:I'm level 78, running T7-9 maps very easily but I just can't find any higher tier maps to drop. I might get one T9 for every 5x T7 that drops. Just keep running the maps you do have. Are you alching all the maps you run? Alch them all. Don't chisel them though, save chisels for red maps. Pack size is the most important thing for getting more maps to drop, but you don't need to do anything fancy to get more maps at the tier you're at. Also you're only level 78 so you really have a pretty small sample size of maps run, you just gotta keep going. They will drop. For comparison, people get all the level to level 100 running tier 11 maps. Don't worry about the tier of map versus your own level too much. You can still get good drops and experience for a long time with the maps you currently have. Save the poorjoy's for later once you have more levels, gear, and hp. A 3.6khp melee build is gonna have a bad time in poorjoy's.

I might get one T9 for every 5x T7 that drops. yeah chisel + alch the t9s you get while you are still getting established at that tier (stop chiseling but keep alching once you have a decent number of maps). if you really get desperate you could use a vaal orb on top of that, which can give more mods for more iiq or even outright upgrade the map to the next tier. harbinger orbs are good for maintaining high tier maps too. also, remember that you can vendor 3x of the same map for the next map in connection, which is usually a tier higher. so those t7s can help you stay in t8/t9 too.

Horizon and Harbinger Orbs are also fantastic for filling out your atlas. I wanted vaults, I had nothing but T9s. Vended three Temples, got a Malformation, used two Harbinger Orbs, and four Horizons later I got a Vaults. Now I've got a bunch.

How's that working out if you did? I was strongly considering doing that before the league started but decided against it.

OK, I have a question about the new Ruthless Support gem combined with Lacerate. I did some google searching, some testing in-game, and I couldn't come away with a definitive answer. When Ruthless Support activates, does it apply its buff to *both* Lacerate slashes/attacks or just *one* of the two slashes/attacks that come out as part of Lacerate?

I didn't start out with that in mind. I have no T10s other than shaped Mesa, 11s other than shaped Racecourse, 12s other than vaults, 13s other than shaped whatever (coves? I can't recall), or 14s other than mineral pools and Volcano. I do whatever T15s drop and just have Minotaur unlocked for guardians, which I did on my skellymancer. Vaults is real good. Unfortunately Abandoned Wealth is not as good as it usually is, due to the chaos ratio.

The quantity from normal monsters roll is what matters. If yours is low I would strongly consider divining it. A high quant rolled bisco's is completely ridiculous and any build that can still function while using it, should use it while mapping. The difference in raw currency drops, 6 socket items, and div cards is really noticeable. You can always switch to a real amulet before the boss if you need to.

My build is actually almost all about doing map monsters and not doing bosses, so it seems like I should roll with this amulet for sure. I'm afraid to hit it with divine orbs just yet because I don't have too many of those and don't want to make it any worse, though.

Both slashes, since the one-two combo of lacerate is one attack. Same with if you have multistrike; you still have to swing nine times, three attacks, to get ruthless to trigger.

I'm currently running Anger with Generosity and level 1 Clarity for the Commander benefits from Necromancer. I wonder what else I could run. (edit) Or should I drop Necromantic Aegis and get a 6L staff instead, so I can have two 6L'd summons? Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Aug 28, 2017 |

That sounds spectacularly neat. Only did an SRS summoner up to 40 in previous league, didn't realize this class of characters was quite so interesting and versatile. Seems like it's difficult to scale them up to maximum power, though, since so many gear stats don't affect them. Is that wrong?

I'm currently doing a gimmick Scion build with the Guardian and Necromancer ascendancy nodes for sharing charges (really good with Victario's Charity) and buffing all my summons with auras, this I think would scale pretty well with decent gear but haven't fully mapped it out in PoB yet. Wrath adds both lightning damage to basic attacks and %increased lightning damage to spells, which benefits mages and other summons at the same time, and will probably add a few more offensive auras once I pick up some reduced reserved mana passives and that amulet that lets you run one at no cost. There's a lot of weird uniques that affect summons in various ways to experiment with too

So my Scorching Ray templar died in A6, but I can only blame myself - I had like 1% damage reduction from armor and didn't update any gear since early Act 2 (surprised he got that far). This just shows that Decoy Totem is as insane as everybody is saying and I'm going to run it in every build build forever now. I managed to find a Solaris Lorica and as I've got no experience with ES based builds (yes, I know they are poop now), I was thinking - if I tried really really hard, is it possible to level mostly as a ES char from the start, with the idea being to go CI ultimately, not low life. Anybody would have any handy build guides for this?

I passed on the Victario shield because my mages one or two shot everything including T16 trash, are resummoned frequently and most bosses don't have the adds to keep charges rolling. I'm pushing 88 on my skellymages necro with Minotaur down so I guess I better get working on that effortpost.

Question for things that have multiple strikes per attack (specifically ice crash). Do effects that say "on hit" or "each enemy hit" trigger once or multiple times per attack?
