How do you feel about Archnemesis mods on rares?
Incredibly fun, I love them!

My performance with PoE is less than stellar as well. It somehow manages to be worse than PUBG at times which is not exactly a great benchmark. I'll run some tests but I wouldn't be surprised if things like the switch cases of strict lootfilters affected performance harder than the actual batching of the text of all items dropped on the ground. Or if there's some noticeable difference between DX9/11.

Dynamic resolution doesn't ever trigger when the FPS crashes so I'm assuming the game knows it's being a CPU bottleneck? I wish I could see the frame time split in cpu, gpu and wait for file reading.

For what it's worth in combat is certainly my worst spikes, but even with absolutely nothing else running (seriously, CPU's flatlined otherwise) I still see fairly jumpy graphs like in my screenshot up there.

Maybe for some Shaper/Elder stuff, but one thing they will be helpful for is trading up. Vendor 3 of the same type of map to get 1 map from the next tier up. That's one way to help fill out your Atlas early.

Excellent, that's what I needed to know! Thank you!

Edit - would sure be nice if magic and rare maps were color coded so you could see at a glance instead of having to mouse over them.

The other way is to check Zana every time you do her daily because the maps she sells aren't restricted in the same way as drops.

this, seriously

the identified chaos recipe is objectively worse than the unid chaos recipe, because you could side track some of the extra chaos generated, and use them to alch good bases. using a wisdom scroll on a rare amulet has an identical outcome to using an alchemy orb on a white amulet, and wouldn't you rather alch a white onyx amulet than a coral amulet?

but then you do the maths on the currency generation, and the time it takes to assemble the components without being bottlenecked by one part of the recipe, and the time it takes to sort through the items on the ground, when you could simply pick up all currency that drops, vendor anything that doesn't match the "theoretically sellable" heuristic you have in your head, and move on to the next map

and then you work out how to sextant your atlas properly, and speed chain maps only picking up currency

With the Ancestral Call on a single target thing, when you intentionally whiff, does the melee strike from the ghosts have a chance to actually hit the target they selected? Or are they guaranteed to miss (but still generate their proc, as in Molten Strike)?

Guild/dbk suggested I follow a forum build to use HoWA on a CI/ZO inquisitor which sounds fun but the build as written uses blade flurry and nuts to that skill!

Yeah, part of the reason I play is so I can scratch my gambling itch on identifying rares. But that just means use a strict or super strict loot filter.

Now that my minions murder everything, I pretty much just go around opening chests while they do all the work.

McFrugal

Personally I don't feel like there's any point in doing maps if you don't pick up at least SOME of the rares that drop, and the "math" involving currency/hour assumes you're just slamming one map after another, which is not how most people play.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

I run at this resolution with a 6700k, a 1080ti and a g-sync monitor, all graphics options on maximum, and I get slightly higher fps than your graph, but not by a huge amount and similarly spiky. Weirdly, the graphics card is not under load generally - the fans don't spin up. In real fullscreen instead of borderless window, the fps is much higher, like 200-300 minimum. But that stops poe trade macro from working so isn't really usable.

Also, if I have chrome playing a video on my second monitor (different res and refresh rate), I'll get frequent drops to exactly 24 fps, so I'm using firefox for that now. That was a real pain in the rear end to diagnose.

Flicker strike with oni-goroshi is the fastest build I’ve used this league, but I do still need to use blade flurry to kill bosses in most red maps.

So is this not normal fps play?

my 2600k 1070 @1440 plays ffxiv, warframe smooth as butter but this game looks more like that. It's definitely playable but not diablo smooth by any means.

Dunno about FFXIV, but Warframe is literally made of magic. The computers it can run on is truly astounding. I can't remember if it was denzine or malachite in the Warframe thread, but one of them ran it on a ridiculously old piece of poo poo PC and it was playable.

So I almost be at Shaper on my first attempt last night but I lost a portal to the game crashing on entry randomly and I'm still a little salty about it.

That fight is really cool though! I'd seen it done but actually playing it for the first time is hectic and exciting and just generally awesome. I was worried I wouldn't have the single target needed because I hear about these dumb 3 million++++ shaper dps builds or whatever but it was more than fine. I'M definitely going to make sure I kill him before I'm done with the league.

I'm doing CI HOWA Inquisitor but with molten strike instead. It's real good and fun. Just changed the tree in that guide slightly to fit two wildfire jewels in on the way to unwavering stance, and I've got something like 35% less ele damage taken with wise oak and incandescent heart (balanced resists somehow, lol).

another take I like on the lowlife guardian, by Waggle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwRRFZTSngA&t=624s

starts basically at 1.5ex for the uniques and can scale up p hard with expensive jewels and rares

Per chris on reddit it's basically ready for the non chinese realms too (if it's not clear pressing alt shows the the tier and its range for the mods on an item).

Not available for the trade api yet though.

One of the results of a remnant of corruption is to upgrade the tier of essences contained within, so it's possible to get Shrieking essences without trading up. .
