I'm firing off a level 20 discharge with a full 12 charges, twice a second (Endless Misery Jewel), and it is 6-linked for about 140% More damage. I have about 100% Increased elemental damage. Damage is completely embarrassing on T1 maps, like it one-shots normal enemies but rares take 5-10 discharges depending on their resistance. Is crit or ignite the only way to scale this gem?

Tencent is pushing them to have premium currency and making the game harder before POE 2 is a step towards creating a grind you'd want to smooth out by spending a few dollars, and having delirium amounts of rewards isn't coming back to league mechanics

I have about 100% Increased elemental damage. if you're using multiple different types of charges then you're probably going to encounter issues dealing damage because you don't have a way to get all of the damage past resistances. that's why ignite is common since then you can focus purely on negating fire resistances.

This is why it never made sense that they insisted for so long on unstacked currency etc, because China has health and safety regs, so they already had that type of stuff coded for the Chinese client. If Tencent had more influenced over GGG, they'd likely just want one client.

For someone who's supposed to know so much about safety and regulations you somehow missed the disclaimer on that very post. IMO calls your expertise into question.

boredsatellite posted:Did they like nerf the rewards to scourge just before release or something? It definitely feels that way. Alpha testers must have got some insane items so they cratered the entire thing in the week before launch, or else players would have got too attached to their super powerful krangled items, and taking them away next patch would have been another harvest situation. I can’t imagine it went through testing in this state and anyone was happy with it. Just the concept of littering the floor with krangled items that aren’t being rolled using loot 2.0 is such an insanely bad idea, especially tied to a patch that was cleaning up a lot of the mess that existed in the game. We have now had hundreds of thousands of players play the league, and almost every screenshot is showcasing how laughably bad the rolls are. I am also not really sure how to buff the mechanic as it can very easily slip into the realm of being too good, and GGG don’t want to deal with taking things away from players at this time. I am guessing we will see some “buffs”, where they adjust the weighting’s of the very beneficial mods, and maybe reduce the damage on scourge mobs, but it ends up being completely inconsequential, and GGG don’t mind eating the loss on this league not going core, as they were able to get the rewind tech out of it.

The league gimmick, now that I've gotten further into maps, feels kind of like Heist when you don't recognize which unique bases make for valuable drops: increasingly rippy risks in order to gamble for something you'll probably throw in a 1c tab and forget about.

boredsatellite posted:So you are telling me we are in for like 4, 5 patches to make this league feel better I'd like them to make my maps fully load again. I keep getting stutter when I shift to Krangletown. And occasionally my skills unload and it stutters for a few casts. Why is the loving game unloading skills I have equipped? Who is that helping?

Finally got to play some tonight. Ended up going poisonous concoction. Keep in mind I've only just started act three, but initial thoughts: - krangletown is cool and fun, but not worth the time. I think if kept your place in the map it wouldn't feel like losing progress, and be worth it - I really only feel compelled to do it because it had skill points and I'll be behind later - I thought you could krangle things multiple times? Does that come later, or did I miss something? I never see the item's krangle power bar once it's krangled the first time, so I assume it was wasted - it's so baked into every level, that I'm not sure how they would make it go core. Unless maybe certain maps enable your krangler? - off screen attacks still suck. - they still really need to make it so the initial attacks are staggered - The question is not if they are going to nerf poisonous concoction, it's if they are going to do it this week or at the end of the league. It's insanely strong with no gear. I'm interested in playing more and seeing how it goes. I really want to try the end game again this league

I can't remember the last time GGG nerfed a skill mid-league simply because it was too powerful and not because of some weird glitch/oversight causing unintended consequences. The "we need to make these numbers smaller" tweaks happen between leagues.

boredsatellite posted:So you are telling me we are in for like 4, 5 patches to make this league feel better IMO it's going to feel like poo poo no matter what they do. Turning it on, walking ten feet, getting ported back, walking the same ten feet, turning it back on, over and over and over is just tiresome. It's almost like they took the best part of delirium, a fuckton of extra mobs covering the entire map, and decided to do that again except worse in every possible way. And with super lovely rewards on top of it. Even the bosses suck, they're just big bags of HP that don't do anything before dropping you a double corrupted briskwrap with added fire damage and deal no fire damage stacked on top of each other.

Why are you walking in krangletown, warp there and stand in place slaughtering all the mobs running towards you then when it becomes a trickle warp back.

they need to cull probably more than half of the mod pool, both negative and positive. a bunch of them are useless, dead weight like flat life regen, reflect etc, and others are insanely negative like -2 gems. and on top of that it corrupts the base without giving it a vaal implicit or white sockets or w.e. as possible compensation.

Sirus is completely trivial with capped Spell Suppression. My hand got offset by one, and instead of flame dashing out of Die Beam, I ate every last hit and my HP moved exactly none. Spell Suppression probably should get cratered. Canine Blues Arooo fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Oct 26, 2021 |

How well does poison concoction scale into endgame with single target? I got to maps with a trapper then for some reason decided to roll pconc pathfinder, at act 9 and it's ripping through the campaign. But once you've got the highest recovery flask possible, that's pretty much your BIS weapon already done. Not quite sure how to build defense on it either. Obviously get max spell suppression and as much evasion as possible, but what else? One build I'm looking at went with 50/50 block, that might be good, but also need some kind of recovery, maybe life on hit?

Still feeling a bit squishy with 4.5k ehp and not enough evasion but fixed my flasks by adding three defensive and that helped a lot.

I'm only in yellows so grain of salt, but I think its going to scale up just fine. The BIS flask is def easy to make, so besides that and a 6 link the biggest damage boost is going to be a +2 amulet I think. Concoction gets a nice breakpoint at level 22. I have evasion + spell suppression and then also ghost dance for a little extra mitigation. I took the claw mastery that gives a little life and mana on hit but most of my sustain just comes from using the big life flask, which doesn't run dry even if you use it occasionally.

poo poo, I didn't know items retained scourge juice even when you pull them out mid way, so you can put a white map in and craft it once it's done.Your Brain on Hugs posted:How well does poison concoction scale into endgame with single target?
