Hooray Indie Games!

Shoutout to Valk for being the most helpful goon. Last week, he gave me his old tri elemental bow to start my league off right. I ended up selling it yesterday and gave the 100c to another goon to pay it forward. He also info dumped his map strategy and it's been paying off. Looking forward to the BO 10 in SF6 once I get my headhunter/mageblood this season.

Is there some trick to getting Plague Bearer to add to my full DPS in PoB? I've got the skill enabled, got the stacks configured on the config page and enabling/disabling the skill does nothing for my full DPS numbers.

What’s going on here exactly? Does the best map blasting strategy not make good use of it now? I know Soul Eater got nerfed but it still seemed like HH could do what it always did. Is it this Rogue Exiles strat clogging maps up with unique enemies rather than rares?

It's that a couple of the best current farming strats drop large amounts of t0 uniques; supply is way way up.

On day 11 of Affliction there were 60 HH's listed; there are 200+ up on day 11 of Necropolis

In this world it's pet or BE pet.

The big strat at the moment involves killing approximately ten million rogue exiles, none of which give you headhunter mods as well.

To be fair, the league was a little poo poo before the first buff patch. Then they added rogue exile allflames/hyper buffed the graveyard and here we are, coated in 6 T1 modded gear dropping 10000 uniques a map.

Also, it seems like if they’re maintaining sanctum rewards as they are then it is the reward benchmark for all content.

They really need to do something for betrayal though. Maybe the plan was to replace betrayal with Necropolis?

Delve buffs when?

Fiddled with my Elemental Hit Elementalist Wander build even more, figured out how to get triple exposure (a cluster jewel notable) and thus it has similar dps without relying on golems. The PoB doesn't calculate a dps boost for wisps, that's why it looks lower. I'm considering taking the Point Blank keystone... Also wondering if I should take Returning Projectiles and see if Sniper's Mark will make that worthwhile, but I'm not sure how the splitting works when there's no other targets for the split projectiles. What directions do they go? I guess Point Blank won't work with it, so it's one or the other.

edit: oh I just realized since I have good endurance charge uptime from automated enduring cry (well, I might not stick with it depending on how much I hate the sound) I could use immortal call instead of steelskin? but would that be better?

Thanks for sharing this, I’ve been thinking about trying a wander. What is the rational of having elemental hit in both a six link and a four link?

By buffing everything else no one will run delve thus increasing the price of delve drops indirectly.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

Delve is actually down a bit this league because grave crafting has gem mods and fracturing available which was previously something that was convenient to do in Delve, the most expensive fossil is like 30c as opposed to half a div like previous leagues.

I'm sure you can still make money on aul/adorned frags/etc but it's not the fountain it has been in prior seasons.

Now that you have your HH, turn legion off and go farm content that scales off quantity.

For anyone on trade (and maybe not on console) I highly recommend making use of carries. It can be easier to make up 40-80c (however much something specific is going for) to get a voidstone or map device early than it is to grind your way up there yourself, and it can speed up your progress.

The increased gating off content for specific builds (usually just on power although some like sanctum for example on more specific criteria) is one of my few complaints about the direction of the game. It's part of the reason I burn out on leagues before I get anything done.

To be fair I don't play leagues for that long, but back during the Shaper only era and up to + including when Sirus was added I would regularly see all the core mapping bosses. These days not so much. It all feels far more gated off and requiring me to go out of my way to experience it nowadays. Even with the non-uber bosses that are much easier (guaranteed for Eater/Exarch) to organically fight I really feel this. Keep in mind I just map every league, I don't play Delve, Sanctum, Heist or any of the largely-outside-maps content.

This weird moving of the 5th map slot feels the same - although again I didn't like to look for carries so it always unlocked way late for me anyway. Still a lot easier than T17s.

Frank Frank posted:

Eh, it's easier to get (access to the map) this way and is a much more natural progression than locking it behind a league mechanic.
Fortress isn't that hard to run either if your build is decent and you don't roll really bad mods. HC players do get hosed though.

Awesome!

if they didnt completely miss the mark on tuning t17s i think it would be fine. so after some nerfs it will be much better.

i think stuff like delve or sanctum gating specific builds is ok. uber bosses as well. but just regular voidstones etc should be achievable on a mapping build, its literally part of unlocking mapping

Is there a way to do slams (Volcanic Fissure specifically) without str/armor stacking?

Also any totem regulars ITT? Storm Burst totems has been a super smooth start but I'm thinking about switching to ball lightning totems once I get my bossing done. Is it actually gonna feel different? If not maybe I'll do a wander or something and try to blast legions -> hh

Harbies or back to basics on corrupted 8 mod maps. Start switching out gear for gear that gives quant as your character keeps progressing in power. Lots of people start switching the second they get HH. Should be really easy to throw on Goldwyrm and 1 or 2 Ventor's Gambles.

For volcanic fissure You can go raider and zippy. But that might be dex stacking in the end

I don’t really know if any non stacking version of volcanic fissure. Maybe
