I ran merciless lab three times yesterday for helmet enchants. I'm probably not going to get that 40% blade flurry, huh? Over 300 possible enchants seems bad for everyone.

Red maps have been a mixed bag for me. I'm pretty much screwed if I get bad block/unlucky dodge or temporal chains and I seem to get one or the other on rare red maps. I'm not very good at this game!

What enchants should I do to improve my sword? I just found this thing to replace my old Cameria's Maul I've been using for 20 levels and it's such a huge upgrade in speed and accuracy. I know for certain it can take an added physical damage enchant from Vagan, could I add a percent increase as well or is something else more worthwhile? Fernando

Trials are pretty random, not tied to map tiers or tilesets or whathaveyou. e: wtf phone? whypick1 fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Please note that you will want to pull your eyeballs from their sockets after 30 minutes in global 820 if you are trying to read it for one thing. If you use mercurytrade, I think it can actually watch a chat channel for specific keywords.

I suppose I'm not married to it, but I feel sort of invested this far in. The weird thing is, I have like seven of the offerings because I've had multiple repeats on some of the trials. I've also been running prophecies like crazy and have half the pale council map, that was actually the reason I ran 2 of the 3 labyrinths. (The third was just me being annoyed that my helmet got two bad enchants.)

NofrikinfuN posted:I did go SSF. I suppose I'm not married to it, but I feel sort of invested this far in. 7 offerings out of 6 possible isn't bad. I had 25 offerings before I unlocked uber at level 81 or so on my first character. He was built for running lab and did about half of them before getting enough valuable enchants to get another character going so I can map while I wait for good uber days (watch poelab.com). My EK character at 75 runs maps about 5-6 times faster than my Eartherquake lab runner. Though I couldn't get by merc lab until very recently when I upgraded half my gems to 20 quality which massively increased my DPS and let me kill the boss fast enough to not implode with my lack of any armour.

https://pastebin.com/R7awZ0xS This is as far as I can reasonably theoretically push my build, it comes out to like just under 6k health and just over 450k DPS, even with a ridiculous budget. That seems kinda low for pushing high end content, right? I think maybe respeccing out of the bleed damage nodes is the way to go, but I'd like confirmation before I totally tear apart the build to try something else

When will GGG offer me a tab where I can stack all the dumb offerings and sacrifice shards? I never got a Midnight and I'm considering tossing 90% of them. It feels like the Vaal Orb recipe should be 7 sacrifices to one Vaal gem instead of the other way around. At least when I get too many maps I can transmute them into new maps.

You can run non-midnight sacrifices in your map device to maybe get a midnight. I just have a normal tab for "things that go in a map device but aren't maps" e: or "went in a map device", offerings are there.

Vaal gems drop much more frequently than fragments though. Plus you can toss a fragment with a map in order to bump its IIQ or just the fragment on its own to get a random corrupted area.

Anyone have experience with the retched belt? One of the only uniques I haven't tried so I was thinking of putting a build together. The slayer part is obvious, but I'm having trouble understanding VP/acuities versus stacking increased max leech rate. The latter sounds better to me because the damage stays until the leech is done, but I see a lot of builds using acuities. im also trying to choose between skills and weapons to use with it. I'm not the biggest fan of melee, so a phys bow was my next thought. I get that when it comes to stacking leech, converting to lightning and using vinktar is the way to go, but that also sounds terribly inconsistent on anything besides a pathfinder. You think it's possible to stack enough leech as physical? Maybe use lioneye jewel wherever necessary and use blood rage and all that. Also, at some point, I'll have to choose between pure slayer or scion slayer + elementalist? Raider? Assasssin? Deadeye? All sound pretty good to me.

I thought I read somewhere that the slayer always-on leech doesn't work with the belt, but I might be misremembering.

TheRat posted:I thought I read somewhere that the slayer always-on leech doesn't work with the belt, but I might be misremembering. I think you're right but it was tweaked like five patches in a row. You still could be right, I honestly don't know. I was just browsing for new builds and I know a lot of people were talking about the new scion-slayer node and the belt. Also answered one of my own questions, according to wiki, insta-leech gets both the damage from the instant leech and from leech over time. Seems strange. Edit: scratch the second part above, I'm misread the sentence on this tiny screen. "Using instantaneous leech modifiers, damage to be dealt instantly as well rather than over time." That actually makes sense why acuities/vp is popular. I just assumed that it would be a flat damage added for however long you stay leeching, rather than an amount that's distributed over the length of your leech. 10bux fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Yeah I actually watched that this morning lol. To be fair though, the guy's a bit of a nut. He only plays standard, and believes that leap slam and static charge are the most underrated skills in the game, while earthquake on the other hand is just boring... he does like sweep as well, which is tradition amongst the STD faithful. His actual poe build guide is pretty good though. He literally has a video of a guardian run for every melee skill in the game, and added a temp-league section, but then goes on to just suggest using a Mino Meatgrinder with vinktar.

Well I'm back to theorycrafting an invincible juggernaut. A Terminus Est, an amulet/ring required for the build, Kaom's heart, and a base chance to crit of 60%, the DPS of something like cyclone caps out around ~170k after optimizing the tree (aka drop 2H swords entirely). I wanted to tinker with gear and see just exactly how much DPS could be squeezed out of the build since gearing is a huge blindspot. What modifiers am I typically looking at when trying to maximize physical DPS? And how much extra DPS can you actually squeeze out of gloves, helmets, boots, belts, and a ring slot? Is it significant, or are they just small boosts to complement a good tree and amazing weapon?
