How do you feel about Archnemesis mods on rares?

They should let us capture the other Forsaken Masters and sacrifice them at the Blood Altar. You only get one craft per league, disables their crafting table too. But it’s a good one.

I want them to get rid of 10 loving tiers of nets (or I guess 11 now) and slim it down. On my second character I did absolutely no capturing of beasts until maps, because I'm just not picking up and maintaining my nets as I level again.

I want them to get rid of all nets and make it so you have infinite virtual strong steel nets. You practically do already, since they're about about a million times more common than monsters worth capturing are.

Newbie question:

When putting a labyrinth enchantment on a unique, does it replace all the unique mods?

It’s a separate mod. The only thing it replaces is any previous lab enchantment.

Right but it's important to note that it will remove any other implicit mods on the item. I.e. Two-Toned boots, Gripped Gloves, Bone Helmet, etc.

I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.
There's also a warning if you'll overwrite an implicit on an item now.

All implicits or just lab enchants? Definitely seen the latter, but haven't enchanted any bases with implicits already.

I won't discount this as a possibility, but I bet I rolled past AssMark at least four or five times last league.

Although, I couldn't have been that lucky, right? You could buy them on poetrade for like, 10c or something after awhile. Not in the first three weeks, of course, but a little later on.

I've spent roughly 10k alts rolling rings. It's not even close to 1:50, maybe 1:500. Even poacher's mark is hard as poo poo to roll, and it's worth less than 10c. The reason you can buy them so cheap on poe.trade is that after the first week or so, not many people really want to buy a lovely life on kill, +8 mana, 187 accuracy assmark ring, they'd rather buy something that isn't complete garbage for a bit extra. Combine that with the steady trickle from drops and people trying to craft GG rings, and you get a low-end market that oversaturates fairly quickly.

edit: and this is just for the lvl 8 curses, hitting lvl 12 curses is far worse.

Heavy Strike Juggernaut or Ancestral Warchief Champion are probably among the tankier builds. Basically look for a bottom-left tree build that let's you farm Uber lab while half asleep.

Lipstick Apathy
Could some math/Excel nerds help me with something?

I finally pivoted off my Explosive Arrow + 4 Solar Guard + 5 Golem hybrid (I ran into Brittle Emperor and couldn't outdps his regen, so I got the hint that I hit the limits of that build for single-target).

I made some tweaks and now I'm 3 Tukohama's Vanguard + 7 Golem, with Freezing Pulse for EE proc and Leap Slam for movement. I'm putting out absolutely insane-o damage now (melted some T10+ bosses before they could finish their intro animation, soloed a T15 rare+vaal map) but I'm not sure if I'm at optimal damage.

I have 4 Flame Golems (level 23) in a Skin of the Loyal 6-link, and I'm running 6 Primordial Harmony (+20% damage for each Golem of a different type) and Stone+Lightning+Chaos golems for the last three. So that should make each jewel give 80% additional damage, for a total of 480%.

Someone does that math here, but for 5 total golems instead of 7:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/5ld08w/theoretical_damage_calculation_for_8_primordial/

I can't even do long division. Can anyone tell me if my 4 Flame Golem plus 3 of other flavors is ideal, or if I should add or subtract one more Flame Golem?

Net Drops
We have also reduced net drops from bosses so that they drop regular items like before (it had a measurable effect).

(Edit: this used to say "We have fixed various bugs that caused nets to drop instead of currency from certain places like Labyrinth chests. This did not affect currency drops from regular monsters.", but that was incorrect. They were working correctly.)

HAH, Reddit was right only for the briefest of moments.

How are you squishy as a necro? Running flesh offering instead of bone (+block conversion) or something? Necros are one of the easiest classes to become tanky since there's not that many minion nodes to get, and minimal pathing is needed so boatloads of life / MOM mana is available.

His math is predicated upon the theoretical damage value ratio being accurate, which I have some serious doubts about, but even if you take the worst case scenario of his calculations, 4:3 beats out 5:2 by just a few percent, and gets better with more value added to support golems. So basically, stick with 4:3.

I'm running maximum damage with Charity Aegis and Offering. I still have 6k between life and ES, but if anything scary starts wailing on me I fold pretty quickly. With proper positioning, I never die, but I want something with a bit more oomph, that deals physical, so I can get a different gearing experience.

Are there any decent strength archer builds these days?

My character account (Vasudus) and my RF/SR Trickster (Vasudus_SR) has everything except the 35% Kaoms still on it. I needed a Blue Pearl amulet and/or another source of ~45% increased mana regen to negate the mana burn from RF at my level of health. If you kill something, Patient Reaper keeps you well into net regen, so carry around a worm flask.

edit: https://pastebin.com/Kgin3NUv

Why on path of building are you wearing a icetomb? Is the rest of your gear accurate for SR/RF? And are you running the double daggers or balefire/phoenix?
