Void Beacon or Vile Bastion for a CI occultist Bladefall miner? Void Beacon is minimum 20% more poison damage, but Vile Bastion seems like it'd be sick for mapping.

Vile Bastion 1. You're CI 2. Ideally you're never in Void Beacon range of enemies

Trap and mine builds hardly ever have problems with damage. If they do, you're doing it wrong.

I'm a big fan of damage over defense. My highest health character ever barely topped 5300hp. Traps do enough damage, get vile bastion.

I bricked an Uber Atziri set yesterday because 5300 hp gets oneshot by spears and A'alai's spike rain sometimes. My fault for switching to Cospri's for the double curse instead of just wearing LC like I know I should.

No, i was asking because vuln on hit gloves with cospris is what rockets my damage to insane levels which is the only reason i can farm uber with the build. I think youre probably a better overall player than i am, so if I can do uber with the build it should be cake for you. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/funmanguy1/characters FunmanPaRappaTheTrappa I do have some gear that is a bit overkill, the +1 arrow drillneck can just be a drillneck and the tshot enchant can be anything else, i would just rely on barrage more to clear trash and it would be slower. Edit: Btw, I am poo poo and almost always have vuln on myself for atziri. funmanguy fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Aug 12, 2016 |

There will probably be more skills, maybe they're waiting a bit before blowing their load with all the info at once. You're telling me that a new league AND an expansion doesn't have any? No way. Even prophecy which was a wet fart of a league had fb/vortex. Hopefully a good red sword skill! (lol nope)

I think youre probably a better overall player than i am, so if I can do uber with the build it should be cake for you. For Atziri mechanics? I probably get hit by way more poo poo that I'm not supposed to than you do. Also I'm not playing Assassin so my damage is a lot lower. I'm running Pathfinder with like 60/65 dodge and braindead permanent curse/bleed/elemental status immunity. It's still enough damage that Conservatory Vaal and the double Vaals in uber die before they really do anything, but Trio is a slowish fight and Atziri herself gets to do a bunch of crap. E: I'm at work with no headphones anyone wanna summarize new mapping system for me?

Ultima66 posted:E: I'm at work with no headphones anyone wanna summarize new mapping system for me? Imagine the passive grid, but invert it. You start at the perimeter in one of 4 quadrants, and the maps that get dropped will either be the map you're in or the next map in the path towards the center. The center is a map whose boss will drop a fragment for the 5th boss (think Pale Court). You can apply new currency in the Atlas to either add a modifier to any map within a radius (so Jewels) you run for a limited number of runs (one of the examples in the video was "Unique Boss drops 1 additional Unique item") or to (permanently?) increase the tiering of a map type you run (hello Tier 15 Gorge!). Ultimately, it's encouragement to play a bunch of different map types (since you need to keep moving up in tiers to get to the center and in order to get to all 5 Atlas bosses you need to play a variety of maps) with incentive to specialize ("Since Shock and Horror's lightning beam feels like newborn kittens rubbing against my face, I can sink currency into making Torture Chamber harder/more rewarding"). whypick1 fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Aug 12, 2016 |

Areas around the outskits of the new map are expected to offer content around level 28, while levels closer to the middle of the map--and the final bosses--will include content around level 86. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-when-path-of-exiles-new-expansion-launches/1100-6442491/ Gamespot hosed up and typed 28 instead of 68.

So like, what actually matters to me (because "making maps harder to get more rewards" is loving nebulous and is already in the game in a state I don't particularly like) is whether or not this means maps can actually be sustainable in a solo self found sense at all levels now. Does this guarantee that when you collect a pool of 20 T12 maps and then run them all at 100% quant 24% packsize, along with the 5 or so T13s that drop, you'll have at least the pool you started with? Because that sure as gently caress doesn't happen right now and right now I just have a pile of T7s and lower at the end of that process.

Well the idea is that you're upgrading your lower level map bases to high tiers so that you're not getting stuck with low level content you can breeze through. Doesn't really matter what tier a map is at that point if you can permanently upgrade it.

Expansion looks great, essence league looks great too although I'm a bit concerned about the inventory management side of the essence items. That looks like it is going to be a clusterfuck with all those essence types, with all of them having 7 levels. In the IGN video Chris talked about "specializing" in a map, and that "having the best gorge map on the server" is a goal a player could have, which would then cause other players to want to group with them for their gorge map. He didn't specifically say if the tier-increasing effect on a map was permanent, though. The items they showed off in the video added effects to a map for a limited number of runs and were not permanent, but they didn't actually demo the tier-increasing item. But it looks like tier 15+ gorges might be a thing.

From what we know so far, it looks like it will depend on the rarity or permanence of the map tier-increasing item you use on the atlas itself. You could pick your favorite common map regardless of what tier it is, and bump it up to tier13 or whatever, and then just buy copies of that map and they'd all be T13 since you invested into that map on your atlas.

That all sounds loving sweet. I'm excited already. Also glad they're overhauling the map system. I don't think I can really justify $450 on poe despite how sweet that phoenix armour looks. The hydra looks p. cool too though, and the minotaur is alright. also gently caress yes going to run like t12 mountain ledges all the time Hauki fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Aug 12, 2016 |

J posted:The items they showed off in the video added effects to a map for a limited number of runs and were not permanent, but they didn't actually demo the tier-increasing item. They did actually, Chris used a tier upgrade orb on a map on his atlas and it added a small border to it, he commented that the UI is a work on progress and that indicator will be more prominent. He didn't exactly state whether the tier upgrade is permanent, but he did say that the sextant effects added only last 5 maps. I'm guessing the tier upgrade orbs will be reasonably rare. edit: Seems like one of the design goals is to make party play viable again. With the performance improvements and ability to specialise and make very powerful maps I'd be keen to run mapping groups. nightwisher fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Aug 12, 2016 |

Yeah I might go for Hydra for the hell of it. Agreed the 3rd one does look silly stupid. Just got to the essences part, that also looks fun for good rares. So psyched.
