I don’t know how you guys abide using “two words but no space between them” names, I can’t handle it



Newbie questions:

1. What’s special about the Forgotten Reliquary areas in the labyrinth? My best guess would be that they’ll always have chests that hold those anti-Izaro items but I wanted to be sure.

2. What are the advantages of joining the guild, besides the fun goofs in goon chat?

3. Any quick tips on what to look out for at the start of a new season, especially vis-à-vis early season economics?



I beat the game in Standard as a Necromancer last night. Game rules.

1) Not sure what you are talking about but there are special chests throughout the lab. They can drop a uniques usually random poo poo, the only lab specific unique that sees use is Death's Door. There is a rare chest that can spawn that guarantee's a lab unique called Intricate Locker. Full list here: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Lord's_Labyrinth

2) Chat, easy trading for maps and an organized guild stash full of leveling gear.

3) At start of the league you can sell poo poo for a lot more then normal. A white 5 link will go for a couple of chaos when its useless later. Uniques that are normally a couple alchs will go for 4 or 5 chaos. Just keep an eye out and use a price checker. Don't get to greedy because you'll want to unload the items as fast as possible because the economy will stabilize pretty fast.

Keep in mind that "early in the season" is like, two to four days for a lot of the PoE community. You'll see people talk about builds being bad as league starters because they require some item that takes awhile to filter into the economy, but unless you're hitting maps within 48 hours, it's probably much less of an issue.

Early season is also the best time to get any new uniques out, before the droprate is known or any builds that feature them come out.

Also a good time to either cheat yourself or get a deal for unannounced unique rarity changes. RIP that energy from within I sold for 4c before everyone discovered it was T1 now.

So, self cast immortal call seems really viable as a crit staff jugg (or possibly any jugg). You will have a dumb amount of endurance charge generation and even with just 7 charges IC should last for almost 5 seconds.
Keeping it up permanently shouldn't be too difficult unless patch notes messes with something.

...and I was so hype about playing deadeye to start with...

Couldn't you still CWDT Immortal Call since the damage will give you a pile of charges?

Some of the ascendencies have undergone more changes, like trickster lost more than half its bonus chaos damage, so double check things if you had builds planned already.

ugh, and ricochet also ate it, from 10% more to 10% increased. Oh well, deadeye looked good in theory for a few days.

Does the Nemesis map modifier being back mean the Headhunter will (extremely rarely) drop on those modded maps?

That trap duration change seems pretty good for something like lightning trap (especially with the regen nodes) since they can hit far away but bad for fire trap and for front loading damage on a boss. still completely undecided on what i want to play. Warchief Totems Chieftan with the new infernal blow fated hammer would be safest, traps would probably be more fun but also want to be a tectonic strike permastun juggernaut (despite saying i wouldn't do another permastunner like 3 leagues ago) or a bleed explosion gladiator

Traps still have lovely cooldowns and Ice Trap doesn't get more radius with levels so traps are still dead rip.

You could, but it's a bit less consistant and probably won't work as well versus bosses as you need that initial hit.
While mapping it might be better to just keep up the charges. It's still 35-40% phys mitigation just from them.

I mean 22.5% more (+conversion bonuses) is pretty loving good for 2 points.
Compare to the lolmentalist 25% more with conditions for 4 points and a useless 2-pointer on the way

Probably better off just doing the not completing an entire tier and having shaped maps drop strategy if you wanted to sell specific maps as a strategy.
