How useful do people think that "Curse on Hit" ring is? I've found 2 of them so far, and it's the sort of thing I find it hard to evaluate.

maybe the weakest option for cursing on hit at a high end but easy entry for early league curse on hitting if you need it

Control Volume posted:Reave (especially vaal) feels really nice since it has good area, doesn't need careful aiming, and you never have to worry about losing stacks. Im currently running champion with shield but you can probably build it a million different ways with dual wield. Yeah I'll second reave. I copied a build from some level 100 guy in incursion, ascendant slayer/jugg reave/bladeflurry. Normally I don't league start with a build that is gear dependent like this, but I wanted something that had a lot of scaling potential and decent sustain and durability. Looked like it fit the bill and I decided to roll with it. Turns out a scaeva, a low end stat stick, 1000 accuracy, leech effects not going away at full health, and a constant supply of endurance charges for immortal call do a lot of work. It wasn't anywhere near as painful to start out as I was anticipating. Now that I replaced the scaeva with a much better sword I'm cruising. Most of the delve encounters are press flasks, stand there spamming reave while it blows up the screen, and wait for it to be done. I suspect it lacks the mitigation options to go really deep in delve, but I think that depth will be far deeper than I was going to regularly look to farm anyways so I'm not worried.

StoryTime posted:As a software engineer, people calling us lazy gets me kinda salty as well. After about 2 decades in the industry, I've never seen a lazy coder keep their job for more than a couple of months. On the other hand, I've seen a lot of garbage quality code pushed into source control around 3am, cause that's how this poo poo rolls. I have been one for 6 years. I procrastinated to hell and back on every single project I ever had and yet I have not gotten anything more than a gentle talking to. This entire time I must have written less than 6K lines of code. I think by sheer coincidence I keep being assigned to things that other people assume to take a lot longer and be more complex than they really are. It honestly terrifies me that no one cares and I am afraid that I will be fired and never work again. Should I find something else to do before it inevitably blows up? Unfortunately I have no idea what else I would do. AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Sep 5, 2018 |

Awesome! posted:you are probably doing something wrong Lol, all of the guides I can find are fairly light on descriptions of what to actually do while leveling. I've got RT/AOF, my conversion jewels slotted in, pyre and call of brotherhood equipped, a drillneck equipped, and then mostly random trash I grabbed from the guild stash. I have a Chin Sol waiting but I'm still in the 30s. My ehit is in a 4L right now (with I think elem dmg, gmp, fire pen). I think my problem is I don't have nearly enough dex to use any bows at my level. Like I'm using a blue ilvl 9 bow currently.

Devor posted:Does anyone have a build they really like for Delving that deletes stuff without slowing down? I'm running an Ahn's Might Cleave Jugg that feels pretty good survivability-wise, but it's a bit slow sometimes. I'm thinking maybe RF for blitzing through killing everything, curious if anyone has experience they'd like to share positively/negatively Quote from a couple pages ago, but I think the top builds are something like: Poet's Pen variants (vd/bs or arc/lw), BV (chief if you want tanky), or yeah, RF is probably still good. I'm sure there's some decent trap/arc totem builds that are good but i dont play them so i cant comment. The PP builds are insane especially with the new lightning warp, both for leveling and end game. You're basically binding your movement skill and damage skill into one key, and then attacking/moving/casting 5 times a second. Play a hiero, pathfinder or elementalist. Yea the Pen's are more expensive then usual, but keep in mind you dont need a 6link unique chest, just use a kaom and some "6L or 7L" Elder Gloves.

so over the weekend i did a malachai for someone and felt like a real baby dmg and life wise (almost got 1 shot by a slam in the mid 80s). just realized the new level downscaling was probably on. so if you ask for a carry for something be sure to turn that off.

theshim posted:Given that I am extremely lazy, is it worth my while to actually grab an Animated Guardian/Chieftain Spectre? Like how often am I going to need to recast them? Is buying the stuff for a AG as obnoxious as it seems? A bit late but spectres are incredibly easy to resummon once you get them (if they even die); just use desecrate to spawn corpses and it'll randomnly include any spectres that have been in the map into the mix. A lv20 gem summons lv100 corpses though they'll be map level capped. AGs are, indeed, a pain in the rear end to get but can also use gear that gives effects to allies and have a boat load of hp when properly equipped so should never die. You'll also only spend a few c equipping them.

Dahbadu posted:Homebrew. Here's my refined core goal and concept (level 89): https://pastebin.com/qpu49fEn Thanks for this, imported fine and I'm just barely started. The new smite is definitely a nice improvement at the newbie levels. Already managed to die on my first foray into the delve, good thing I'm not good enough to even consider playing HC.. then again if I was I probably wouldn't have died. Picked up my summon zombie and an ancestral call and things are much better than just relying on smite which is all I had on that first delve.

Another question since Im building the atlas and low tier maps are a terrible way to get a feel for mitigation. I have two options for mitigation, one is endurance charge through warlords mark because I have both vengeance and reckoning popping off at all times, and I can pair that with a max level immortal call CWDT that gets me over the 3 second cooldown when it goes off. I have a spare slot so I can toss in enduring cry for the hell of it. The other option is ignoring endurance charges entirely, slotting in enfeeble as my curse of choice, and using pcoc to get easy power charges I like the idea of a long immortal call and being able to run things like abyssus safely but Ive had a lot of theories like this that ended up feeling like poo poo and this has a high chance of being too fiddly to bother with. Is this any good? Or does this sort of thing require more focused endurance charge generation?

Anyone know what determines the monster level of a master's daily mission area? Why yes Vorici I'd love to keep your target on low life for 8 seconds, but this area is level 34 while I'm level 71, so everything dies the moment I look at it funny.

Awesome! posted:its based on your level with the master Thanks. Well that's just dandy, the fucker didn't show up for this character until ACT NINE so I have a lot of catching up to do. vvvv: I guess I can just stand there and let my CWDT golem and the Commandment of Reflection clone I got from the Merciless Lab enchant slowly beat them to death.

Vorici is notably the slowest master to level because his missions are almost all stuff that prioritise precision in a game where your end-goal is to blanket the entire screen in as much damage as you can as quickly as you can.

Not sure I like the Delve/flare/hidden area mechanic. My 3 flares barely get me to a destructible wall, and then my dynamite doesn't even completely destroy it. Then my flares burn out but I used all of my flare capacity to get to the location so... welp... Guess I'm supposed to just ignore the hidden areas until I'm much deeper in the delve with all my poo poo upgraded, which is kind of a poo poo mechanic if they have the secret areas in the very low depth areas.

They've said they're going to improve flares/dynamite soon. I'm currently thinking the 36 challenge portal looks cool, but the challenge list worries me a bit. Those three "Kill the Delve bosses while showing off in four or five different ways" look like a right pain to get, unless delve bosses get a lot more common deeper down.

actually trying to explore the darkness is probably the worst thing ive ever tried to do in this game. you throw a flare but get attacked from outside its range and cant even kill the poo poo you are fighting. super dumb. maybe it will be better when i upgrade my light radius 50 times or whatever.

I've been playing PoE for a few weeks now, and I'm looking into buying some things from the shop (partly for myself and partly to support the devs for this great game I'm playing). However I'm quite unsure what might be good to get. I've been told that getting some stash tabs, especially the currency and map tabs, is a great idea. Also I'm told there might be a sale on these this weekend so I should wait until then before getting them. Is there anything else that might be good to buy? I see there are so many things I could buy, so I'm wondering about any of the supporter packs or similar, are they good to get? Basically I'd like to know if there's anything I should look at to buy, please.

Currency, map, and one premium tab are as close to essential as you can get in the game. The first two so you don't hate managing inventories and the last one so you can easily sell things. The other specialist tabs are nice but aren't so bad to organize in normal tabs. A 5pack of premiums is also a good pickup just for shoving crap into for mass selling at specific values. And yes, the stash sales are generally once a month and pretty good discounts. Supporter packs are okay if you want the cosmetics they give as they give less raw points than their value* *There is/was a first time buyer pack that gives some cosmetic while still being full value iirc.

However I'm quite unsure what might be good to get. If you're interested in cosmetics at all the supporter packs are the way to go. You get almost as many funbux as you would just buying them outright and you also get (at the $60 level) one full head-to-toe cosmetic upgrade which would normally be around $40ish if bought a la carte. The included points will easily be enough to buy essential stash tab upgrades when they are on sale. Of course, if the armor and weapon set in the supporter pack don't appeal to you then it becomes a less compelling offer

However I'm quite unsure what might be good to get. The current supporter packs are pretty good (in my entirely subjective opinion etc). You lose a bit of points but you get the cool stuff that comes with them. So I'd say pick up one and use the rest of the points in tabs (giving priority to currency tabs as you've been told) when they're on sale which happens every so often.

However I'm quite unsure what might be good to get. Buy a $60 supporter pack for a sweet cosmetic set and 550 points. Spend the points as such: 75 - Currency tab (huge QoL) 150 - Map tab (huge QoL) 150 - Quad tab (for dumping various loot in) 75 - 5x Upgrade stash tab (tabs can now be labelled and/or used for selling at various price points. I leave one not upgraded because then it’s unique and basically labelled too) 100 points left over for whatever you want If you wait for a stash sale you can save 20% and fit in another premium bundle or quad tab, but you probably won’t need it. Essence tab, fragment tab and divination tabs are fluff, skip them. You can buy 300points for $30 and skip the quad tab (and cosmetics) if you’re on a budget. The rest is nearly mandatory to get max out of the endgame. Elerion fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Sep 5, 2018 |

Elerion posted:A regular stash tab fits 144 different cards and does just as good a job at marking full stacks. I’ve honestly considered using a regular premium tab this league instead of my div tab, as the div tab doesn’t let me Ctrl+D the cards to price check them with the Trade Macro. I would never want to go back to normal tab for div cards after using the div card tab. It's great. Also the trade macro is poo poo so I dont have that problem I guess.

The trade macro saves so much time for pricing, what's your issue with it? Ctrl+D for a ballpark price (sufficient for 90% of items) Ctrl+Alt+D to isolate high rolls if relevant Manually check anything above a certain value Not having to constantly alt tab to check if marginal unique #372 is vendor trash or 3 chaos this league is bliss. Hell, the pricing algorithm for rares has even improved to a point where it’s not completely useless. Elerion fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Sep 5, 2018 |

The upside is just control-clicking the cards, send them to some bizarre void where you never have to see them again until you have a full stack. The div card tab was the last one I bought because it seemed unnecessary but once I got it I was like "yeah this feels way better".
