How do you feel about Archnemesis mods on rares?
Incredibly fun, I love them!

Thinking about trying Exarch altars finally after like 3 leagues in a row of mainlining Eater with no div altars to show for it. What’s the watch outs there so I can pay the minimum amount of attention to altar mods? Iirc auto flasks are basically a death sentence?

I know for Eater I mainly

- Overcapped cold and lightning res
- Didn’t run a build that got worse with random proj
- Didn’t run a build that got worse with -defenses stuff from charges (or mitigated it somehow)
- ailment immunity

With that, eater altars were mostly mitigated

-Meteors
-Chaos damage flasks
-Phys as extra chaos

You think you can defeat ME, Ephraimcopter?!?

You couldn't even beat Assassincopter!!!
gently caress those meteors :argh:

but yeah I almost always run eater altars (still never seen a divine altar) because I hate the downsides on exarch

meteors were really funny as rf jugg with a line of flagellant's flasks that activate when full, just nonstop meteors that annihilate me if I stop for a moment before everything is dead

I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

I am wrong in every way, all the damn time.

Ask me about my tattoos.
Divine altars, with boss rushing, show up about once every 400 maps from my experience.

I'll be starting LA Deadeye this league and I had the thought to keep people updated on how I'm progressing and gearing my character as I go. Someone in discord gave me the idea to keep stuff in a google doc so I could update in real time and also people could follow along if they want and that seems like a good idea if I were to actually do this.

I can't guarantee the quality but I'll try to include my upgrades and thought process.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

Sup Wardloop buddy. I have a very similar looking list. The hard part is going to be getting a Skin of the Loyal with decent colors though - if the Breach drop-rates are still nerfed they're going be rare as poo poo at league-start.

Yeah my initial switch is 99% to be a regular chest + ward flask and then do the baby loop rather than 2x420s. I'm definitely a bit scared that I won't be able to pull it off but worst case it's just longer I'm playing RF which is always cozy.

Hey what are you Ward Loopers using to start? I know the right answer is "another character" but I hate the campaign too much to do it more than once a league.

I always play with a friend so we figure we may as well go all out this league, I'm gonna start as spark inquis (MF focus eventually) and he is gonna roll with scion aurabot. What could go wrong?

I hate the campaign also, so I'm rolling Exsang Scion which I've been meaning to do for a while anyway. I think pconc/exconc is a valid choice also.

I'm adapting Pohx RF because I'm dumb and hate myself, the correct answers have mostly already been posted but apparently there's a holy flame totem one that's recommended as well by the wardloop guide (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3146104)

went to standard league to set up my tabs and.... didn't really anticipate having 20+ remove only currency tabs waiting for me to sort through. this doesn't even count the hundreds? of other stash tabs with god knows what in there

is there a way to delete the remove only tabs from existence? im already tired of clicking

also, LOL that when you put perandus coins in the currency tab, a lil hidden space appears to hold them.

Another person whose builds can often be really strong is POEDan - https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/poedan79/characters. Looks like he's leveling some sort of Scion as Rolling Magma so we might be able to yoink tech there.

Well that answers the 'how does Seventh Gate work' question. I wish they'd just make all the device options available every league rather than this one weird trick though.

As I always do when I consider taking a league off, I'm wavering. Not sure what I want to start with though. Leaning toward some kind of miner but I dunno what, except probably not Hexblast just because I don't want to commit to something that really wants a unique that may well be super rare and absolutely will be in heavy demand.

Maybe Pyroclast, as was mentioned earlier? What are the good mine league starters, I'm super unfamiliar.

I think I'm going to start as Explosive Trap trickster, and on day 2 contemplate going self-chill vs maybe swapping into something like Hexblast mines.

I'll probably not leaguestart day one, as there are other games to play and the league gimmick looks dull. It is okay start late.

Every single one of my characters is named for some sort of bizarre-sounding chemical found in the ingredients list of stuff in the house. I think my best so far has been Trisiloxane. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with MethylSalicylate tomorrow.

i still don't recommend taking that node, ever. it's a DPS loss in most circumstances where it matters.

the only exception is if you manage to reach immortal levels of defensiveness thru phys -> elemental conversion and hitting 90% all res + armor + sustain.
