Once he was off his tits for three days after taking bad lethe drops.

Still need to hear voice acting for all the gang in acts 5-10. Would love to hear the Shadow's take on murdering all gods everywhere. Or how about the marauder killing Tukohama, whom he references frequently and with reverence.

Yeah Witchfire Brew would be great, but yeah... :) I'll try Vile Toxins over Vicious.
I did have the totem wither setup actually, but my links / colours got messed up during my upgrades yesterday.
That's also why you see increased duration doing nothing in my shield. Hence my remark in the initial post to ignore some gems slotted. ;) Just levelling them up until I can fix it. I even ran out of Chromatics.

Flesh and Stone is a good tip. I'm still on the fence about investing some support gems to buff HoA, but I think an unlinked HoA and using Flesh and Stone would be a lot better. Will test that tonight, cheers.


Added Chaos is in there standard, together with Vicious. :) As mentioned, I will likely replace Vicious for Vile Toxins.
Then test Vicious for GMP on bosses.


I was wondering about that yesterday! I don't have much crafts available yet, but I do have the flat phys. Is it still worth to improve the initial hit that way, over some generic poison damage through chaos / DoT?
Diamond is in the works. After switching to the Gemini, mana is no longer an issue. Will add it!

Might as well update thanks to all the tips from yesterday.

I added in Vile Toxins over Vicious Projs. I don't notice a difference so it's fine, but I saw Mathil posting a build that uses Vicious over Vile. I guess it's quite interchangable.

Found my 6th trial (SSF) and did Uber Lab straight after. A really easy run, even though I had 4.400 life. Opportunistic is a great pickup.

Found some better boots that allowed me to fix the first step of my gems again. Back to using wither totem. Still need to try out Withering Step... Tonight. Running Despair, Precision, HoA and Flesh and Stone.

Fixed the craft to flat phys. Hit damage went up considerably, so I guess that's good to improve the poison's dps. Thanks again for the tip. :)

Einhar gave me another Doedre Flask ofcourse, no decent shields yet and no improvements on rares either. Found a good rare amulet with max T1 life and all res I can use, but waiting for my oils and some other drops, so I can craft flat chaos everywhere. Else it's barely worth changing.

Didn't manage to find a red map yet, but everything in T10 absolutely melts. I don't really bother changing out GMP (neither for Uber Izaro). Level 88 now, hoping for some good RNG to get further.

Just don't do what someone on reddit did last league and use an Impale build that calls for a Starforge and decide that the Voidforge is fine to use until you can afford the Starforge.

Was looking over necro gear options and I feel The Queen's Hunger is worth reconsidering as a good body armor to build around compared to when it was released, Necro has a lot better ascendancy passives now but three of them for minions are basically mandatory and the rest are second fiddle to Mistress of Sacrifice which you can replace with queens, Plaguebringer and Essence Glutton are extremely strong passives worth considering when you can get Mistress's effect from a item but at the cost of randomness.

Later!
That randomness is a pretty big cost though and means that you can't really rely on the defenses from spirit/bone offering and you're missing the speed from flesh half the time. The armor seems like just a fun gimmick to me and would be annoying to actually use seriously.

Yeah, like the bird.
I was loving this league but I'm getting so many random crashes to desktop without even an error message that it's a chore to play. The only zone that reliably stays stable is the labyrinth. Probably because none of the recent league mechanics that cause crashes can exist in there i.e. Legion and Blight.

Necromancer is super OP now though, it's hilarious. I've kinda completed this character as much as I can until I can play a map for more than 2-3 minutes without having to log back in.

Very cool. Now that I know what I can make from oils I already have, I never need to worry about collecting enough to get something good.

You can't anoint a corrupted amulet, right? That should at least buy me time until I find a good amulet.

You cannot, I tested it earlier. It tells you "corrupted items cannot be modified" (or something similar)

Looking at poe.ninja, half of 91+ zombie Necromancers use The Baron but only 13% of zombie Guardians do. Is that just bandwagoning or is there a reason why guardians wouldn't want to use The Baron?

Bandwagon imo. Guard baron is better positioned on the tree (utmost might cluster) and perfectly viable. Couple with Geoff's chest for managuard defense

Just noticed stash tabs are on sale. I thought they used to do half off, but this sale doesn't seem near so extreme. :sigh:

I'm kind of lamenting that the fragments tab isn't just part of the map tab, especially since I've been getting a ridiculous amount of sacrifice fragments this time around. I'm not even up to maps and I have the fragments for Atziri.

Awesome!

Sorry to double post, but if I were to buy the Pitfighter supporter pack, that comes with 550 points? So I'd basically be setting aside 5 bucks for the skins and effects and otherwise paying the same as I would for just the points? If so, I may just do that and buy all the stash tabs I want that way instead of just buying the points alone.

The only time anything went half off that I remember was that one Black Friday sale years ago. Tabs are usually around a third off. And yeah buy a pack and get some mtx free with your points!
