I'm thinking of just trying one of the basic Filterblade filters that auto-update this time around but it's been like 4 years since last time I used a non-custom filter and I'm scared it's gonna be bad and I'll hate it

Hopefully the achievements are more like Ritual / ArchNem and less Sentinel.

I preferred the Sentinel challenges as they were more "complete a challenge" and less "equip three rare items/kill an act boss".

One that was neat was if you are in someone's hideout and you like it, type /save_hideout.

Also, a lot of things were out of date, and the video was only like a week or two old. Stuff about divines and harvest, heh.

I went into some dudes hideout last league and it was *perfect*

I actually messaged him and asked him to share it on hideouts, but he said he wasn't done working on it

Yeah I am now reconsidering my stupid CI Flicker Tricker just because even though I'm confident it will work with enough effort, it won't work well enough to make me want to complete the challenges.

I still want to stay Trickster, but CI Flicker Strike probably isn't gonna be it.

Did I misread all the signs?
Been killing some down time by doing some dry runs of some skills I've not played much for league starts. Played a bit with SThrow into Helix and then to Energy Blade to see how the damage would be. Played a bit with PConc which was ok but was a bit harder than Caustic/Toxic Rain for my quick dirty run to act 3. Trying some wanding now with aim at trying KBolt and KBlast. I've heard Kblast is good but gear dependent, whether that's true or not I have no idea.

Also while playing I started wondering if the Beast league might jump in value with lower unique drops. I always seem to end up with tons of unique crafts I never bother with normally.

Nope. From their news post: "You'll be able to check out the full list of challenges you need to complete for these rewards when Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra launches for PC and Mac on August 19th PDT and for console on August 24th PDT."

I feel like they're keeping under wraps purposefully, which usually would mean they're not going to be popular.

Or that's just boilerplate text, and they're saving it to keep the news trickle going to have something for tomorrow.

Does anyone know why when I search Survival Secrets or Survival Skills on the official trade site, it only brings up the ond versions that aren't flask related? I even went to trade with someone and they gave me the old version. Do they all revert when reaching standard or something?

Last league I spent hours tweaking a custom leveling filter off of Filterblade's auto-updating one. And then the league launched, apparently one of the items on the filter didn't exist anymore, which then errored out the entire loot filter, so I ended up with NO loot filters. (Well fortunately I was still subscribed to Filterblade, but yeah.)

Moral of the story is don't update your loot filters.

My friend easily 40/40ed Sentinel league as LS raider. Said it was one of the strongest, most comfortable builds he's played. And considering nightblade ate no nerfs, and the only 'change' to LS was a bugfix (in other words you can still double hit with +1 strike), I honestly don't see why not. Seems like it'd be one of the strongest overall builds -- kinda awful leveling because spectral helix, good early mapping, great continued scaling into endgame where you can keep dumping currency into the build.

I may do this, thanks

Only variation I'm considering is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvmDib20aVs

Just because I still really want to play Shadow, but if it's just worse than Raider I'll try that

if you're going for 40/40, by the time you're closing in on the end you'll have such absurd amounts of currency that a hundred regrets and a full build should be easy to buy anyway if you end up hating it
