Given this game's history (shaper, synthesis, etc) it would not surprise me if his internal production name is Al-Zheimer.

Synthesis was entirely about an elderly man who lost his memories and you keep visiting random people's memories.

Big ups to the goons in 5555 last night for holding my hand through this craft - this is my first serious attempt at crafting in almost 700 hours of game time.



I wasn't really angling for anything in particular. I started with some Essence of Insanity per suggestion, but I didn't hit anything good and got sick of trying to buy those one at a time. Then, I just aimlessly alt spammed for maybe 50 alts or whatever and got nowhere. It was then I remembered I had some fossils laying around in my stash. Two pristine/jagged rolls later and I had the double phys damage, t2 life, and lgoh. I was then moments from disaster as I was about to warlord slam it without having crafted stun avoidance to block it as a possible mod, but 5555 set me straight. Culling strike was probably the best possible hit (although melee range would have been very good as well).

No idea how to price these. The double phys roll seems pretty rare. Hopefully these can get me a good chunk of a HH.

Place a divine vessel along with your map in the map device before opening the portals. Once the boss is dead, take the divine vessel out of the map device and give it to Sin.

I thought my current character was busted and useless because I died 5 during uber Izaro yesterday and today. Just dying out of nowhere, once even after Izaro was back at the elevator. And uh, apparently one of the three lieutenants is casting a reflect aura?! Did I just nuke myself 5 times?

Yes, the cold lieutenant casts a reflect aura on Izaro very briefly sometimes. It has a long cooldown so you don't see it very often.

Qwertycoatl posted:

Yeah I guess it's because the condition for you meeting Zana has changed and they forgot to update the check.

I can believe this very easily. In the previous endgame, Zana is just there in Oriath, and even starts with Zana suggesting we use the resources found in these strange worlds to rebuild Oriath. Even when the player learns about the Shaper and Elder, it comes off more as Zana wishing she wasn't so right. She's a very sympathetic character.

Conquerors starts off with Kirac wanting to bring in Zana for unspecified crimes, because it's not like anyone in Theopolis would know what the hell she's doing when they can't even look at the machine she built without their brains trying to turn sideways. It would be weird if Jun immediately gushes into "Oh my god I am so gay for her what if we adopt some kids together" when the story does not want you to trust Zana.

I've only had 1 set of major crashes so far (RIP my t16 map), but I may just quit the league anyways cause my performance has been terrible this league.

I'm playing Divine Ire, so I don't have to deal with minions everywhere, but:
- I get pretty regular FPS drops whenever I get into combat
- A good ~2 second pause whenever I activate a legion thing
- Really common pauses whenever a metamorph changes forms
- lol at joining parties, I can barely get 20FPS in a 6 person group

I have a GTX 1070, but I only have an i5 4690 (and DDR3 RAM). Maybe I just need to stop playing POE until I save for a new computer.

I have been working on a cold conversion Shattering Steel Slayer and it's pretty fun/cool/frustrating/stupid all at once, looking for some input from anyone who could offer it as to where to go next with the skill tree/gear, or maybe I'm doing some things hideously wrong and need to fix 'em asap. here's my PoB:
https://pastebin.com/48RXm48d

I run Awakened Fork while mapping because the clear speed is insane, then swap in Impale for bosses/metamorphs. I've been juggling 8 or 9 gems through the entire game trying to figure out what works best since PoB's DPS number is not very helpful to me. looking at it now, I realized I never got my final lab so uhhh that's at least one obvious fix I can make going forward!

whypick1

Just another jackass on the Internet
Just looking at PoB's numbers, Slower Projectiles or Awakened Cold Damage would be much better than Impale. Since you're doing 100% cold damage, there's no Impale stacks for you to build up, so the gem is only giving you the 14% more damage mod. Slower Projectiles at level 20 is 29%, Awakened Cold at level 5 is 24%. 29 is obviously greater than 24, but you may not like the slower projectile speed.

To round out your tree, I'm guessing your going to do Assassination -> Trickery -> Blood Siphon, which I'd continue with. After that, I'd probably head down to the Primeval Force wheel.

If you can afford it, see about a double damage Circle of Fear ring. I say "if" because I just looked and that's 8ex minimum.

It's half of whatever the value of an exalt is which is 1/2 of 138, or roughly 70c

Presumably exalt shards but if you don't have those everyone will also accept the chaos equivalent.

Half of the current exalted price. Currently an ex is about 138c so 0.5ex is is a nice round 69c

I took a break the past week, once I finish DBZ kakarot in a couple of days I will probably start a second character. What is a top tier melee build to dump currency into for the rest of the league? I don't want to do cyclone. I've heard good things about flicker. Also thinking maybe a lacerate gladiator.

So turns out if you migrate a character from solo self found to regular, you lose your entire stash... :(

No wait, I had to hit migrate all instead of just migrate. Now i have double the stashes and need to migrate my gear to other stash.

I’ve had roughly 3ex in shards traded to me this league. Every time I feel like I’ve been owned. I hate exalt shards, because I can’t do anything with them most of the time unless I trade and convert them, or fill out a stack.

Just do chaos and get close enough to .4/.5/whatever.

What better way to make use of those shards than passing them on to someone else who is asking for a fraction of an exalt?
