Anyone know why I can't use a shaper scarab on a Shaper Stronghold map? Still tells me it needs the right influence for some reason.

Shaper strongholds don't count as shaper influence. They're just map objectives. Unless I'm misremembering, you can't use a bestiary scarab on a map with the bestiary objective etc either.

I am hoping to get some crafting advice on this. I'm a CI HOWA occultist and would likely use what I make here...



Was debating locking prefixes and trying to annul the int to then switch to multi mod and add the str+quality suffix and life+es prefix & it'd be flexible for other good crafts.
or I can block a 3rd suffix with a craft and try to ex the es+life/es+stun. But getting life or reflect would ruin it though I can then do the str/quality craft and should have decent es after some divines. The int isn't wasted on me either though it'd be kinda disappointing to keep it.

Leaning towards the first option but really don't want to annul the underground mod. Though if I did I'd then annul the int and can still multicraft int+quality, str+quality and es life...

So any advice?

That is not it at all.
Maybe it's too cautious for you but I'd divine it to 630 ES or so, craft hybrid %ES, and Leo-slam it. The int roll isn't great but it's something like 100 ES versus 150-200 for quality, end result.

hey if you're running maps for full atlas completion do you just run maps as they drop or wait until you have a couple of a tier together first? Yellow maps were easy but red ones are still kind of a bitch

How does elementalist node Beacon of Ruin actually work? Specifically the "shocks from your attacks always increase damage by at least 20% part". I know that for a shock to actually apply, the hit needs to do at least 0.2% of the target's max life (resulting in a 1% shock). So does Beacon of Ruin mean that if the hit does at least 0.2% of max life, it will apply a 20% shock? Or does it mean that a hit of any amount of damage (even just 1) will always apply shock?

the latter. its really good. and its increased by shock effect. you can hit 40% shocks with a bit of investment.

Oh OK that owns. So that means that with the prerequisite node Shaper of Desolation and +100% shock duration (so it lasts 4 seconds), I should be able to keep anything permanently shocked?

I knew elementalist was good now but I had no idea how good.

Has anyone found some solution for the latency spikes/freezing in this league? It's driving me crazy. Fairly sure it's on their end though, as my actions get completed after the freeze/spike in a very compressed time-frame, like it's catching up.

As far as I can tell you basically just have to wait it out when it happens and hope you don't win the lag lottery today.

This always happens when you lag on lockstep. That alone cannot in any way suggest it's on their end or yours, all you can say for sure is that it's network related.

I'd say 30-40c? The one at 2ex has an elder mod on it, and the 50c one has more aspd which is the most important stat I think. The one at 1ex is overpriced.

aspd? Attack speed?

you can change your networking type from lockstep to predictive, predictive solves the stutters if you are getting lag spikes over 100ms every so often. Predictive can lead to desync sometimes but as long as you dont have really bad lag you wont feel it

I'll try this, thanks.

In the meantime, it appears that my cable modem is taking a poo poo, as the speed when it's freshly booted is 50mb/s (which is about what I'm paying for) but after a session in the game it's down to 3mb/s or less... so I ordered a new one. About time to upgrade to 3.1 anyway I guess.

It has without a doubt been the best advertising path of exile has ever received and for free no less, then add in the immortal coincidence.

It was watching your only genre competition shoot themselves in the dick and then having their audience run over to you.

I get the feeling that this league was meant to be 4.0 and it was going to have to compete with Diablo 4 but, uh, then blizzard shot themselves in both feet with a loving cannon.

Vortex/Cold Snap CI Occultist is one of the smoothest, cheapest characters I've ever played. My gear is dogshit, I'm still not wearing real body armor at level 88, and I haven't even bothered to put gems in a bunch of my slots.

Hey guys new player here.

I have kind of a dumb question. Is there a way to use more than 1 scroll of wisdom/orb at a time? Right now I right click the orb i want to use and then click on the item. But then I have to reclick the orb to use it again or on something else. Is there a better way?

And to throw in a new players perspective on trading (I have trade macro and use POE trade). I have tried to price things right but honestly most of the time I can't really tell whats an OP rare from an okay one, like yall say the price checker isn't super reliable for actual gear. Because of this and general trade friction. The 1 c dump tab is a mighty tempting option.

For your amusment: I accidentally used a vaal orb right away in tinys trial.

I've dumped like 10ex into my GC miner in the last couple days and don't feel any stronger for it, lol.

I have another 6ex banked and was planning to buy an unnatural instinct for fun, but now I'm getting the itch to roll something new. Maybe CI occultist since I've never played either CI or occultist.

Yeah I did this on my CI vortexer and ended up liquidating most of it. I think I want to do Apep/Incandescent so I've shelved her until I have a few more ex again.

If you had a weapon that had the chance to deal double damage, and you were doing heavy strike, does that stack for a closer chance to do double damage, or would you multiple the two percentages to see your chance to do quad damage?

2 skill points is probably better than 15 resists plus a little mana regen. Not that big a deal though.
