What's the theory behind listing an item for 0.7ex or 0.8ex instead of the equivalent chaos since that's what the buyer will actually pay with?

Doc Walrus posted:Since the Quill Rain debuff affects all damage equally I figured the best approach would be to pump fire damage and convert everything. If it's better to keep some physical damage I'll refund that point. The real thing is that converting almost nothing is still almost nothing. My EA with Quill rain does 77 to 202 physical damage per hit. Convert half that for a whopping 70 average added fire damage. Meanwhile the actual fire damage per hit is 12,279-18,699. e: to clarify, that's per fuse on the target. the hit is something like 6k fire damage on average which is still almost 100x the physical portion Herewaard fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Dec 16, 2019 |

I'm a newbie and following the advice of the thread, I'm doing a build that I found on the forums (its a cyclone build). It's fun. However in the name of science I would like to try something else too. Can someone recommend a build that plays markedly different than a cyclone build and doesn't require a silly amount of currency to pull off?

Man.... I tried really hard to make Explosive Arrow Chieftain work, but it just feels like absolute dogshit. It's hard to tell if it is the skill or the tweaks to mob hitpoints though. I can pretty easily convert to Artillery Balista or Burning Arrow. Any opinions on which will be more effective?

Is the path of building damage calculation for Herald of Agony accurate? I'm playing scourge arrow and was considering also trying to scale the pet damage but even with 3 damage gems it only puts it at 1k dps. If its not worth scaling then it does free up a bunch of slots for other stuff.

Idk if it's worth scaling, HoAg is strong as a 1 link, but SA also has plenty of sockets so you definitely could. Aside, scourge arrow still shreds, so fun.

Just got to act 7 and once you get barrage support, galvanic arrow is fun and good. Barrage support makes it both a giant cone and a single target laser beam. Never used shrapnel shot but this new zappy arrow is cool.

Have I hosed my atlas? 3 of the internal regions don't have a discovered citadel, but every region says at least "Region Level 1 required to spawn Exile". The highlighted region even has all maps completed.  Edit: Just noticed Zana has a menu option "Take Watchstone" but clicking on it does nothing Bagpuss_UK fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Dec 16, 2019 |

If you kill a map boss of a t3 or higher map in a region without a discovered citadel you'll get the citadel.

I'm playing Lightning Strike right now and I'll probably look into getting the ring, I'm a raider DWing 2.0 aps foils so the attack speed penalty would be manageable.

Bagpuss_UK posted:Have I hosed my atlas? When a region of the atlas gets colored in like that, you lose the ability to remove watchstones from that region until you run some more maps in that region and kill the conqueror. Run some more maps in the green and yellow regions and you should be able to see the watchtowers for those regions again after you kill the conquerors that spawn. For any region that you haven't discovered the citadel yet, just run some more maps in that region until the citadel portal appears after the boss, it's just random. I think the only way you can really gently caress yourself is if you go hog wild and socket 3 or 4 watchstones in a region, run maps in that region until it gets influenced, and then be too weak to actually kill the conqueror when it spawns since you won't be able to take the watchstones out.

I don’t mind the health buffs as my initiation into PoE was a Blight league Zombimancer that promptly melted every boss without much effort, but the larger frustration this league is how much more likely I am to die with the longer encounters as a melee build. Really I should’ve maxed resistances earlier I guess? Didn’t really need to worry about that until Act 6/7 last time IIRC. (ele resistance is a boring mechanic  )

Clocks posted:Man, I actually got lucky with ascendent trials this time around and went to do uber lab. Got murdered by Izaro during his second trial. Ran it again and got like two-shot by him in the first room. Haven't had the heart to try again. I miss the days when I'd run uber lab and die to random traps instead. Same, but second room and third room. This is the first league I've had problems with Uber since betrayal, which was my first league. Between this, the map changes, etc, it feels pretty discouraging. But I'm only at 130% life from tree and like 4.5k life as a trickster, so i think if I rejigger my tree (at the cost of a lot of damage) things will get better, I hope.

silvergoose posted:Wait this looks loving awesome My build is also a Juggernaut with The Baron so quite tanky. Another goon made it for me when I said that's what I wanted to try but had no idea how to make it. You could probably do the same with a more traditional Necromancer build just fine though. Despite the nerfs, minions are still very good. edit: Up to Act 8 so far (had to work a lot this weekend so wasn't able to no-life league start) and I've only died once, to some Metamorph that nuked me as soon as it spawned and I have no idea how. Killed it just fine after the run back.

I kill a lot of them before they can and the adds still always spawn a second or two after the boss is down from zombie dogpile.

silvergoose posted:Wait this looks loving awesome Yeah I rocked soulwrest summoner for blight and it was awesome. I put zombies and spectres in a 6l rotting legion and did spirit offering. Spirit offering restores the amount of energy shield granted by the buff so it's pretty good for tankiness. You could use bone or flesh as well but I liked spirit so I could cap resist with no effort. I didn't do any fancy bossing but I cleared t15s and maybe a couple of the shaper guardians? It felt pretty good and having a pile of zombies and spectres plus always moving with cyclone keeps you alive pretty well. My soulwrest summoner is TensersPhantomArmy if you want to see my gear and tree. SynthesisAlpha fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Dec 16, 2019 |

Someone had asked for a screenshot of Karui Town and I totally forgot until today, sorry about it and sorry for the lovely screenshot: A quick GIS didn't yield anything showing off the rest of it, so I should have taken other screenshots, but alas. You can see from the revealed map that it's small. It also did not look particularly interesting if I'm being quite honest, the most interesting part of it was the use of the dude-fishing prop on a rock that made it look like someone's hideout. Of note is that: It shows as Karui Town in the map, but it's Karui Shores inside the area. It still shows in the Epilogue Minimap if you have beaten the game and makes an alt. The Epilogue tab shows it, and it uses the old pointer with the old unrevealed waypoints to Oriath and to Karui Town with the Oriath background, but neither at which are revealed or clickable. Once you beat the game, the pointer changes. Elentor fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 16, 2019 |

Speaking of beating the game, I'd like to ask some questions, I appreciate if anyone can give it a go. 1) How long did it take your first character to beat the campaign in this league in /played, or whatever other estimate you have. 2) Were you trying to rush the content, playing as slow as possible to enjoy the new mechanic, or something in-between? 3) Was that faster or longer than usual, given the above parameters? If longer, what was your PB, in comparison? 4) Was it a new build or something you were familiar with?

1) Somewhere between 8 and 9 hours 2) Something in between. I did metamorphs if they were convenient 3) It's a personal best, I'm rather slow 4) I'd done mines before, but not since the rework

1. I usually take about 10h to maps in a new league 2. I'm dumb and like to do the new content instead of rushing 3. I've got to maps in like 6h on a new start by being 'disciplined' for me 4. I'm doing minions this league, I've done it before but I'm untwinked this time. I still havent hit act 3 and i'm at 2.5h. better get hustling instead of morphing.
