Yeah, they kept it to be "finish one more Conqueror cycle after you collect 16 Watchstones", it's just now there's only 16 Watchstones to collect and that is A8. Bit weird to think of after being used to the old way for so longer, but wayyyyyyyyyyyy more streamlined.

God I'm so loving squishy and about to fight my first Sirus after this cycle, I can't wait to lose all my portals in phase 1.

I'm going Pohx's RF Inquisitor and it's been really fun so far. Outside of a few "being stupid in maps" rips I've been absolutely unkillable, everything dies as soon as I'm in range of it (and I have Infernal Cry if I want a full-screen instant clear for some of the crazier Scourge zergs), and having 90%/78%/78% max resists in poo poo gear + a huge constantly topping life pool has been great. Least stressful labs of my life (helps that you can ignore every mechanic thanks to regen).

yeah i think i went a little too heavy on the dot multiplier nodes and not enough on life. i have 4500 life with similar resists

Lipstick Apathy
After bricking my build in white maps, I found an easy way to proceed with only like 5c and almost no tree investment:

Buy a reverberation rod and the prophecy for it, kill A3 Piety to change it into Amplification Rod. Roll 3 blue, go to global 6666 and ask for Frost Auto Scout spectres, now you have an effective 6-link on a one-hander. Get Victario's Charity shield and Necromantic Aegis. Finally buy any Doedre's Skin, qual it up, and 5-socket it. Put in Ele Weakness, Frostbite, Punishment, Temp Chains, and Enfeeble.

Anywhere you drop a totem, the Frost Auto Scouts will wreck shop, and because of the way the curse limit works, you can still manually apply a Sniper's Mark to bosses, which makes the projectiles split and kill the adds.

With no minion life/damage except for Death Attunement for the third Spectre, it's owning.

I keep having my fps drop to 20 with a 2080ti. If I close chrome it fixes my fps issue. It’s so odd but apparently I’m not the only one who has notice this issue.

Also if I go fullscreen from fullscreen windowed it fixes the issue.

Hey this thing helped me with that poe/chrome issue after getting new gpu:
in a new tab type chrome://flags and there ctrl+f "Choose ANGLE graphics backend", select OpenGL.

Doesn't help with overall poe performance tho :(

1050. 2GB VRAM. When I'm playing, the performance window almost always says VRAM Critical. If I have literally anything else running, I get massive stuttering and eventually it crashes.

I'm also not very good at computers though, so maybe it's something else. Maybe upgrading to 16GB RAM would help?

What resolution textures? I don’t think Poe should be using that much vram on low settings

2GB of VRAM feels low but POE will chew any system regardless of its power up and spit it out. I'm running on a 1070 GTX with 8GB (and good loving Christ I knew the video card situation was dire but $600 for a "renewed" five-year-old card?!?) and I mostly don't have problems (but it does seem to gobble up all my VRAM too). Processor could be a bottleneck too though mine is whatever the Pretty Good Intel Model was in 2016 and I don't think it's ever caused me grief.

Extra RAM (not VRAM) will probably help if you're below 16 GB. (I don't think more than that will help much, though I could be wrong). Also installing the game on an SSD will dramatically improve your performance. If you don't have an SSD, it's the first upgrade you want. It will change your life.

Hardwired internet (running a big ugly cable to the router) has felt more reliable to me than running off a wifi adapter too but that might just be my bad luck.

Yeah I got an SSD back during Synthesis just because Betrayal assassins would take forever to load. This didn't actually fix the problem, but loading screens were lightning fast.

I think I'll probably try upgrading the RAM and maybe CPU first, and then maybe looking at getting a 4GB video card ("only" $200) if all else fails.

Why, why, why implement it this way

Instead of needing 100 orbs and 100 gloves to expect 1 good outcome, make the orbs 100x rarer so that you don't have to burn through items. It's not like Trash to Treasure doesn't exist

if they made it so each item had the same 50/50 chance of being made with a mythic orb, then its value would instantly be pegged to the value of the highest value item it's possible to make. then the market would quickly correct the value of the most expensive items to be relative to the rarity of a mythic orb. it would have a pretty stifling flattening effect on the unique item economy unless they made the orb so rare you'll never find one

That’s how Trash to Treasure works

And garbage uniques are worthless so you can just pick them up for 1C

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.

Shield Charge was nerfed a few weeks into its introductory league, like 4 years ago.

yeah, it does seem redundant with the prophecy, but to be fair chris said proph is getting the axe next so maybe they're doing it intentionally. and the alternative is to make it completely game-warping or irrelevantly rare

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
It’s hard finding a second build to play this league after starting as seismic/exsang traps. The build has clear, boss damage, great defenses and recovery, ignores reflect, and is fine on the league mechanic since it gives you a second to get your traps down. Everything else feels like it is going to be such a downgrade.

I was looking forward to poison concoction, but I am seeing a lot of people complaining about boss dps. CF glad looks like it has an even bigger boss dps problem, and all the different ED/Bane builds are still reduced to channeling Blight for mediocre boss damage. I was also hoping EOW slinger would catch on and maybe be a 3rd build, but the lack of chatter around that seems to speak for itself.

I am actually leaning towards a second Seis/Exsang trapper, but this time switching over to jungroan’s cold version with March of the Legion.
