Reiterpallasch posted:Doesn't having multiple spells in a trigger setup like that cause them to be cast sequentially, not all at once? Having to wait potentially .9 seconds to temp chains/enfeeble the scourge mob charging at you sounds really bad for your life expectancy. Asenath's is also incompatible with Hextouch, so that route is unfortunately not workable. I've been thinking about snapping up a temp chains + enfeeble hands of the high templar instead, but that would be...expensive. I'm pretty sure the way it works is that each triggered spell has its own cooldown, but only one triggers per attack. Unfortunately my personal attack speed isn't that low so yeah it would take some time to get all my curses up. HOTTH would be ideal but I definitely can't afford a dual curse pair. I'm just sick of using Lioneye's Paws, those boots really suck. The reduced movement speed on low life is a real liability in this league. Maybe a Bane setup would be decent?

So I recently got back into this after not playing since Synthesize league, and the game feels so much smoother now. Started with a necro, and almost quit because I found it so boring, but I rerolled flicker, so I'm having a blast now. Got two questions, though: wasn't there a league between this and Ritual? Why do I see no mention of it, nor anybody talking about it at all? Only reason I know it existed is because I looked up a league list to see what I'd missed. Also, why is there a heist mode in this game now lmao It seems well made and a lot of effort obviously went into it, but it stands out like a sore thumb.

Only reason I know it existed is because I looked up a league list to see what I'd missed. Ultimatum league was the best league to ever exist. Every map you'd run you would make 30 chaos minimum, and all your characters were super strong and fast. There was also Expedition league and it sucked poo poo, you were poor as dirt and everything in the game was nerfed to poo poo. So many people skipped the league or quit a week in that there was no functioning economy and it practically felt like SSF because the trade site was so barren, not that anyone could afford anything.

Altared State posted:What the hell are you talking about? 3.15 was the worst received league I've ever seen and I've been playing since beta. The lack of players made it seriously hard to trade for anything. The only way to not notice is if you happened to be SSF Spectra Shield Throw. Nerfs aside, I guess some people like league mechanics that require a Master's Degree to interact with, i.e. Expedition/Betrayal/Harvest/Synthesis. I like stuff where I show up and more enemies appear to kill i.e. Abyss/Ritual/Ultimatum/Delirium. To each their own but they were asking for a take and I gave mine. imho Broken Cog posted:Also, why is there a heist mode in this game now lmao Heist was some good some bad. Bad: Constantly clicking doors, enemies lining up to run a train on you the moment you open said door, pretty tedious and buggy Good: Introduced Replica Uniques and Alt Quality Gems which are both still in the game and are great, also the true lore of the game was revealed by Niles Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Nov 9, 2021 |

Yeah, I was thinking about Ultimatum. Expedition stuff is around, but I don't think I've seen anything from that league, did any of its mechanics go core? In other news, I made my first 10-krangled map earlier, and it ended up with "rare mobs drop 5 maps". Think I finished that with 100+ new maps in storage.

One of these things is not like the other... Zero VGS posted:I like stuff where I show up and more enemies appear to kill i.e. Abyss/Ritual/Ultimatum/Delirium. If only there was a league where each encounter you had a bunch of monsters and chests that could you spawn and you got to choose what sorts of mods/rewards to get out of each encounter and the game told you in plain English what to expect... Outside of Rog crafting, which definitely gets into the realm of Harvest/Delve crafting (also don't know why it took them so long to highlight the mods that would be affected in each offer), Expedition is pretty goddamn straightforward. And the secret to Rog crafting is to whine whenever he or Gwennen show up because they're not Tujen or Dannig but do the encounter anyway because that's another chance at a logbook. Broken Cog posted:Yeah, I was thinking about Ultimatum. Expedition stuff is around, but I don't think I've seen anything from that league, did any of its mechanics go core? Expedition is still very much in the game. The only real difference between league and core implementation is that now only the reroll currencies for the 4 NPCs are items you can loot/trade. Ultimatum will be going core but GGG needed to iron out exactly how to do so. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Nov 9, 2021 |

whypick1 posted:the game told you in plain English There's your first problem. I am here to inflict Bleed, not to Read All the reading/clicking/thinking/planning should be relegated to PoB and weird uniques I'm equipping. Expedition breaks up the action and flow of the game with BOTH clicking and reading, which is why it belongs with the other poo poo leagues I put it with. Also the really clever game design of "don't pick this or you'll do no damage". Almost as clever as this league's krangle maps just instantly killing characters without CI or 90% phys reduction as some of the lamest content gating since "Cant' Regenerate" map mods. But at least I can chuck those maps and just treat this league as a "more monsters" keybind. BTW I encountered some Scourge bosses... is it normal to only be able to take like 10% of their life before I run out the blood meter? Are they just expecting me to have omega damage to beat the time limit? They seem like Delirium bosses but much more HP.

I am one of the people that actually enjoyed Synthesis league, since I found a way to set up the map for printing ilevel 86+ Shaper and elder influenced items, so I don't mind league mechanics that involve a bit of planning. I think that's one of the strengths of PoE right now, there's so many mechanics in the game, so you can kinda just choose one of them you find fun, and focus on that (though mapping will probably always be relevant). As for the scourge bosses, I've only killed one, but it seemed to freeze the blood timer while fighting it. Maybe you were too far away? Edit: There is no way to create synthesized gear from fractures these days, right? Which means that fractures are really only good for their unrollable attributes.

Expedition was definitely poorly recieved but I made more currency way more easily during that league it was silly. It definitely broke up the flow of the game but doing that made you rich quick.

whypick1 posted:5555, but it's usually a cesspool Still an improvement over any other global channel. I haven't played in like two years and everything from like Legion onwards looks like That Meme Image to me, but the question I actually have isn't about any of that. I'm playing a tri-element Wild Strike Raider, so I've allocated Elemental Equilibrium but I've ALSO just finished Act 10 and the Merciless Lab and picked up Avatar of the Veil. I know that the two exposures don't stack. What I can't quite tell is:
Basically I'm trying to figure out if it's worth keeping EE at all. I'm so off meta that I haven't seen a guide anywhere and I'm targeting enough different defenses off the tree (50/X block, capped spell suppress, evasion, and at least enough increased life/armour and leech/regen not to die in a stiff breeze) that every passive point I can actually devote to damage is as precious as exalts and has to pull its weight. I honestly don't think this will be endgame viable without better gear than I have the time to farm for, but what the hell why not try? At the very least it's sturdy enough to have survived all the Part 2 bosses deathless even without having reached all the planned defense nodes, which is a good start.

How tanky is an unlinked Animate Guardian on a build with a smattering of defensive minion nodes? Probably about 90% increased health and 3% regen all said, not a ton but maybe better than nothing. I have a free gem slot and I'd love to toss some cheap utility uniques on the sucker, but if I'm going to have to trade for half-a-dozen 1c items every time I visit a conqueror it's not worth the hassle.

playing expedition was funny because while the mechanic gave out free stuff it really did feel like playing the last week of a league or something. i think the thread mostly didnt skip it though and since i only use 5555 it didn't feel as dead as it might have otherwise. honestly I was kind of hoping they would cave and give us another race or two like they did with heist

3.15 felt real lovely to play, which is a pity because Expedition is actually a good mechanic. Scourge is Delirium 2.0 if you know what you're doing and I loved Delirium so I'm having tons of fun this league and making Mad Bank.

The secret to Scourge is that you wanna run scourged maps and treat it like a Delirium you can go in and out of, it's very profitable if you run maps that drop stuff like Scarabs, Splinters, etc. Like, multiple exs per hour profitable if you have a good setup.
