IT IS SAID THE TEARS OF THE BWEENIX CAN HEAL ALL WOUNDS




Man, getting my ele hit scion to maps was so satisfying. Just need another dozen levels for more life and stuff, get a 6l white bow and a kaom's heart, and then I'm basically set until I want to upgrade to all the abyss jewels.

Is bubonic trail and tombfist still worth using if I only have one abyss jewel each rather than two? So expensive for the better ones...

Tombfist is absurd and you should spring for a 2 socket one asap. 1 socket is ok to get you going but tombfist with 2 mediocre jewels is better than basically any rare without shaper mods or good corruptions

Sooo, I was just vaaling some stuff to complete the challenge, and this happened:



Searching POE trade and there were only 3 similar amulets, listed between 30c and 16ex.

Any rough ballpark of what this would be worth? I was thinking somewhere around 3-5ex, but any thoughts would be appreciated!

A couple of questions about arc traps:

Does anyone have any preference between tinkerskin and loreweave (or a hot tip for anything else)? It's probably time to get rid of the 6l I bought when I had no money and was starting white maps.
Also, any good tips on how to keep my mana topped up? I've been using a mana flask but I'd rather use that slot for something better.

Just remember to not unequip your shield if you go for LL: https://clips.twitch.tv/RoughAgileSageBibleThump

That's definitely one of the best deaths this league.

Tinkerskin completely solves mana issues by taking EB, Loreweave is more damage and defenses and usually uses a Lavianga's Spirit. Both are completely viable in their own way.

if you buy the loreweave you can probably use it again on your next character where the tinkerskin is only really for trapping

It's funny you ask that I just came in to the thread to do the same. I'm on a 5l tinkerskin I got way back and the sustain is really nice. You don't even need a mana flask in my experience though I haven't bothered with MoM yet and am only really tinkering with t10s and t11s. I had another drop that is 167/89/15 that I'm probably going to try and 6l myself.

My other question is whether Lightpoacher makes sense in the build? I have never had a character with so few gem requirements. Arc in gloves, Spire in body, one 4l cwdt setup, movement in a 3l, portal/golem in the other...

Awesome!

arc is usually chaining offscreen so you arent going to get much out of lightpoacher

absolutely go life over LL for RF. even with very good gear your ES regen won't come close to what you can achieve on a juggernaut for much less currency

With proper investment, guardian will be more tanky and have roughly 3 times the dps. But that requires a LOT of currency.

You can farm up a white 6L bow using porcupine divination cards, which I believe drop in gardens, orchard, and terrace. You then hit that with a +2 elemental gems essence, and craft on attack speed. When you’re richer, you can target craft that into a +3 gems bow, ask in guild chat for help.

And I would not bother with 2S tombfists and bubonics. It’s a huge opportunity cost. You only need a 1S tombfist with a murderous eye jewel for intimidate. Get life and resists on your boots.

Congrats on 80!

Who’s reached 100 in the guild? I know that funman did it on his voltaxic spark scion back in perandus.

I’ve died a few time at 97, losing me about 35% exp. Real painful. Should still be hitting 98 soon but this heat is kicking my rear end :mad:

My peak is 91, because at that point I kind of get sick of the game and have to quit until the next league.

I'm still at 90 this league. I've been less motivated since I'm poor compared to last league, which in hindsight was because I was exceptionally lucky that league.

3 exalts by like lvl 85, one in act 8 even, 2 early bellies, and a taste of hate and a molten strike enchant on my first uber lab. Yeah. No exalts at all this league and my one watcher's eye was like clarity and discipline. Maybe I should have bought a supporter pack!

All time high was 93 with a ngrammahu jugg on 3.0.

my trapper is pretty close to 96 which would be a first but im not playing him much anymore. jugg is 90 now since leveling the 2nd character is super easy with a map pool already built.

I've not gotten above 91 yet. I push for 90 and then go attempt bosses. Since I suck at this game my exp stays at 0% after that.

I finally hit 91 after a few weeks at 90, and now every time I get to around 50% I do something stupid and die like 3 times in one map.

I hit 99 on my wander this league, but got bored and didn't really feel any incentive to push for 100. Just been playing other random builds since then, took a few to 90 testing out different ideas and stuff I had not done before.

And yeah, I have 2x95 and 2x90 chars this league (+ a few in their 80s). I just dont enjoy the grind once I feel like a character is 'finished'.

I’m working on 100 again because it’s a challenge this time and god knows I can’t let a league go by without getting 40/40 now that I’ve done it a bunch of leagues in a row.

Hot takes:

Malachai's mask and essence worm for blood magic

Slavedrivers hand for blood magic traps

Tinkerskin for EB traps

+3 elemental bow so you can wear a kaoms with trap damage crit quiver

MoM essence worm and keep the flask
