Nevertheless I made it to the end, where I promptly died to Izaro's "Make your framerate stutter, then freeze entirely for half a second, and then be dead" attack.

Hey I've been playing a necromancer following a spectre/SRS guide and I had a few questions. First, is it workable to just turn whatever into a spectre because having to seek out certain mobs every time you log in or they die sounds super annoying. Second, is Necromantic Aegis (especially with Victario's Charity) a generally good enough idea that I won't regret it if I decided to do something else with the build? Third, how do you actually assign buttons for all these things?

it's a 4790k with a r9 390 and 32 gigs of Ram, though. Is this not something that happens for other people and do I need to go hunting for some poo poo that probably got hosed up by the abused child responsible for AMD's drivers?

Thanks! By "something else" I meant some other flavor of summoner. And how does desecrate work with spectres? I haven't had the gem slots to use it yet.

I managed to get an Earthquake mod on my helm for my Earthquake build, but it was increased radius and I already had like 80 increased aoe already, so no dice.

What you have there is a free damage boost from conc effect with no effective AOE change.

Ultima66 posted:

Conc Effect is multiplicative with your AoE so you'll still get a big AoE cut.

I have a friend who wants to play a Blade Vortex. He doesn't have access to Scion and I told him Necro would be best first. Does anyone have a skill tree I could get him started off on?

Clearing with a 100% single target skill relying on ele prolif to clear packs will be just horrible clear speed, beyond horrible even.

trial and error plus persistence

edit: to add to the rest of the poo poo above, I've got a PC that was brand new.. 6 months ago? with up to date drivers, etc. I don't think the client has ever hard crashed on me before Ascendancy, and now it hard crashes all the loving time, usually at least once or twice a day, with a plethora of different error messages over time. Most of the crashes occur in a load screen of which the lab has many, and about half are either something related to "unable to load map" or "failed to load asset"

We had this discussion earlier in this thread, I think several trees got put up. This is my build, look at "Meat_Chainsaw". I won't say that my build is easy to play, it has minimal automation. For instance, I need to manually generate power charges, and pop bone offerings to get up to max block. I need to constantly mash buttons in order to stay alive. My main keys are:
r-click for whirling blades
q for my primary blade vortex link
w for my secondary blade vortex which generates power charges
e for enduring cry
r for flesh offering
So I need to constantly jam e in the middle of fights to keep my ES pool stable (luckily it has a very short cast time) and keep my endurance charges and immortal calls active (so I don't die to a streak of bad block rolls). A simpler build would go non-crit, and forgo the secondary BV charge generator, and have a high level CwDT linked to a bone offering. So you're going to have to theorycraft out another variant with your friend.

As for gear, Rathpith's and Carcass are a bit pricy for newer players, but you can make do with a Crest of Perandus and a rare 5-link as substitutes.


My old ice shot herald of ash prolif build says hi.

Man, that was a fun build, with some truly crazy clear speed.


Perhaps I just don't play enough for the PoE memory leak to get completely out of hand, but I haven't had any problems with Labyrinth with a new session. Though it does start to chug after a while, that's when I alt-F4 out, get a coffee, and restart the client.

Gibbo posted:

That's a little disheartening.

Why does it use decreased instead of more then? I thought everything with increased/decreased was additive.

Ultima66 posted:

Huh? It says "less" like it should. More/less is multiplicative, increased/decreased is additive just like you said.

I searched blade vortex necro and got like 3 posts with no builds lol. Thanks for your link. I put him on a scion build for now.

Guessing if you don't have enough gem slots for it you're probably still fairly low level? Spectres are pretty poop until like merciless. Summoners have been one of those builds you respec into at like 50-60 for ages, and though they improved things a while ago with zombies not being so poo poo at low gem levels, srs etc, they're still generally a late-game build.

quote:

We have deployed a fix for a memory leak that affected only Windows 10 users.

We're not sure when this problem was introduced, but we started seeing reports of it after the deployment of Ascendancy.

We initially dismissed reports of a memory leak because:

The client itself was not leaking memory. The reported memory usage of the client executable was not increasing. We were not aware of any way that you could have memory associated with your process that was not accounted for by the process' displayed memory usage.
You cannot use more than 4gb of memory in a 32 bit process (which Path of Exile is). Therefore any reports of more than 4gb of memory "leaked" were dismissed.
The "leak" being Windows 10 only confused the issue because there were changes in Windows 10's memory management that cause it to be reported differently.
A lot of users were conflating regular memory problems with a memory leak. Memory leaks and high memory usage are two separate issues. The game absolutely uses too much memory, which we are working on, but was not leaking memory as far as we were aware.


We were wrong and would like to publicly apologise that this went on for so long. There was a leak and after many days of investigation, we have fixed it. Strangely, it appeared to be a regression in Windows 10 that caused previously normal behaviour to now leak System memory.

To take advantage of this update, just restart your game client once and the hotfixed version will download.

Thanks very much to the users who contributed RAMMap reports and other information that helped us diagnose the issue.

We are still working on improving other memory issues as well. We have some promising memory reductions that will hopefully be deployed in the coming week. These should resolve the memory-related crashes that people sometimes encounter when changing areas. I'd like to deeply apologise for the recent performance issues, and thank you for your patience. We have several programmers dedicated to performance improvements and they have a lot of plans for how to continue to improve our architecture.

I'm in act 3 cruel at the moment, I figure I've gotten over the srs/zombies hump in general and just won't use spectres until merciless.

Elerion posted:

I played a spectre/zombie/SRS summoner for a while this league, and I loved it to bits. The clear speed was insane with Haste aura, NecroAegis Victario's Charity, near 100% uptime on Flesh Offering and Vaal Haste, and all the gear is super cheap. Too bad the game lags like a motherfucker with 60+ minions attacking 4 times per second, so I had to abandon the character early. Some tips below.


First off: Start leveling a Desecrate gem right now, if you havent been doing so in your offhand already. This is crucial.

Ignore Spectres until act 3 merciless. As soon as you open sewers, have someone give you the waypoint to Solaris. Use Desecrate to spawn corpses there until you see Flame Sentinels. If you don't see any in 3-4 Desecrates, ctrl+click the waypoint and make a new zone. Then remove Spell Echo from your Spectre link, hold your "Allow Corpse Targeting" hotkey, and raise your Flame Sentinel spectres. Remember to put Spell Echo back in afterwards.

Once you unlock the Eternal Laboratory (map room), start using that to summon spectres instead since it's a higher zone level and has no hostile mobs.

Note that spectres summoned by Desecrate will have a level which is equal to the higher of: a) The zone level, and b) Desecrate's "create corpses" level. That's why it's really important to level Desecrate up.

Flame sentinels are the best spectres because they shut up, they don't run in and get themselves killed, they don't get stuck on rubble on the ground, they have built in LMP/Fork, and their "fire first, think later" AI makes them do a ton of DPS in general.

6-link it in a Tabula Rasa for absurd DPS. That should be your first item purchase as a spectre summoner. Since you don't care about mana consumption, a 6-link is easier to run than for many other builds. You also get hit less than other characters, so the loss of defense isn't quite as big a deal.

Level 77 Templar Hierophant, aoe lightning build. Started doing maps a few days ago, still havent done merc lab. I have 1ex 53c saved up and I'm looking to upgrade my gear. I have no idea what to aim for in the "endgame" when it comes to gear pieces or specific uniques besides getting res capped.
