Salvor_Hardin posted:I just rejiggered my whole gear loadout to accomodate a Bisco's Collar and I haven't really noticed a difference Quant isnt something you can reasonably notice without at least a little bookkeeping. In Legacy League if you map for 5 hours and at the end count how many jeweler orbs you got from raw drops and from 6 socket items, then the next day you equip 30% goldwyrm, 24% sadimas, and a 20/20 iiq gem and do the same 5 hours of mapping you will end up with about twice as much as the day before. Its nearly impossible to have enough iiq and iir to be noticeable in a single map.

terrified of my bathroom posted:Berserker DP and ele conversion builds (BV, BF, FB) seem to be big winners so far. Having gotten around to playing with berserker DP, its incredibly silly and I have no idea why they didn't nerf berserker going into this league Berserker is one streamer calling attention to how crazy the lifesteal passive is from being nerfed by next league, sorta like how baron was 1c the previous leagues and 200c this league.

Yeah, I've been playing a DP berserker myself, after abandoning my frostblades raider starter. The berserker is just clearly better, and I am closing in on level 90 with him now. Currently using a 5L pledge of hands and a cherrubim's maleficence as I farm up currency for high-tier gear. At about 300 chaos and 4 exalted right now. Looking to get a 6L pledge and/or a kaom's heart. The friends I am playing with who are doing cyclone slayer and sunder berserker can't really keep up. I would hold that cloaked in savagry + vaal pact is one of the most powerful combinations in the game right now. The fact that you get the 40% more on top of it is nutty. Berserker is just really, really strong right now.

I told myself to avoid flipping items so much this league, but seems like every 5 minutes some random guy puts up a item with nearly perfect rolls in every affix and sells it to the first person of 50 to message for some pocket lint.

It is definitely the easiest way to make currency, but with the volume of trading going on it is easy to do so much flipping that you aren't actually spending much time playing the game. You really want program to poll the API and get a lead on items before they hit poe.trade. It is easily the most lucrative thing you can do, but it also gets tiresome pretty quickly. I play to have fun and find neat stuff, not to amass a fortune.

So is it fair to say the reason Baron is coveted for SRS is solely due to a single mod (strength is added to minions)? Most don't bother with zombies, and in the final build you want your minion gems in your 6L so the +2 mod doesn't seem to be of any use there. I guess it must be a hell of a damage increase?

Its not unreasonable to be able to stack 1000 strength at endgame, which is 200% increased melee phys damage for your minions. That's pretty drat good considering all the hp you get for stacking strength too.

I forgot about commander of darkness and purity of elements, so now I'm overvalued by like 50+. Do I just roll with it or do I replace all my rares with stuff with more life? Related, I tried the midnight bargain on my spectre build, and it was way too rippy. Pretty cool when I wasn't getting one shot though.

Just DLed the game last night. Read the OP, and watched https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7GqFLebBU8inlrcqTZFXtIwP362XrdNe guy's beginner's guide which was really helpful. As I Understand it, the class choice/ascendancies you make, isn't really important. It seems like if you get to the late game, there are enough sockets and points to distribute to make your character pretty useful no matter how you choose your class... That being said, are there any classes/ascendancies that stand out? Weak classes/strong classes? What are some of the popular vs. most un-popular class/ascendancies out there? Thanks for the help, I can't wait to get started when I get home from work and try to get in the guild through Discord later.

Is the OP still relevant, as far as ascendancy descriptions? Or have these "general descriptions" changed since the OP was published? A lot of these descriptions sound downright boring...J posted:

When planning a character, it's less 'which class fits my playstylr' and more 'which skill gem do I want to focus on.' Once you pick a skill, then you choose a class and build that complements it. Essentially every ascendancy has viable builds, but saboteur and Scion are probably weaker than the others, while if you read the last page or so, it looks like berserker may be a little too good.

Also while the relative power and utitlity of those classes might change, as might some specific bonuses, the general archetypes they conform to are gonna be constant

A lot of these descriptions sound downright boring... It's worth noting those are abstract overviews and almost every ascendancy has some game changing passives that aren't mentioned there (though it does offer a good overview of them if you're already a little familiar with the game). e.g. raider is one of the most popular ascendancies because it makes you in to a non-stop murder machine, which doesn't really come across in the op's description. The only ascendancies I'd actually consider boring are champion and guardian.

Those Ascendancy descriptions are super generic too (on purpose). It takes a bit more research before you get that "Oh snap, <x> and <y> let me do <z>!" moment.

So all my chars either ripped or I lost interested in playing them (hi, Mr. Flameblast Totem Templar). I've started another alt - this time a Sunder Raider, following https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1873405 I'm pleasantly surprised but this can even be a SSF HC leaguestarter if people want - which I wouldn't normally consider that a Raider is good for. First time I managed to get to Act 9 in 3.0, most previous chars were ripping at Act 5 boss or got smashed by ghosted Kole. The guide has one of the nicest trees which I've seen in PoE - where while leveling you're getting mostly more tankiness (life) and utility stuff (frenzy charge, life steal, gladiator start) , working your way to resolute technique, then mostly more tankiness (marauder start, scion life wheel) and a bit of damage. And once you're tanky, you can choose a weapon to specialize in, where the damage numbers start going in - depending on whatever you find, you can get +dam for axes or maces. Or if you get a great sword - switch to Blade Flurry (slightly bigger effort though) and use +dam for swords. You can also use 2h if you want instead of shield and 1hand. I'm using some crafted (+phys% +flat phys) mace with 1.3s attack speed mace and the gameplay is so fast that I constantly need to slow down to make sure that I won't rip. 5 frenzy charges + Blood Frenzy (not necessary tbh, using it only for attack speed for faster leap slaming around the map) + Ancestral Protector (once more, attack speed, mostly for bosses) make it really crazy fast. I'm running a 4-link as the main damage dealer (Sunder - Multistrike - Melee Phys - Fortify), didn't found any 5 links yet which I could use. So far with all the charges up I have about 9k DPS, 3.9k life (level 63). The only thing is that now that I described this, I'm sure that the char will die today

Beo posted:What Dark Pact build are you using I am looking at a couple and not sure which one I would like more. You can look at my current gear, not that it is any sort of ideal. Look at MonkeyPact. My jewelry in particular is pretty poo poo, and the belt needs work, but the rest is okay. Still haven't bothered picking up MoM yet, but I probably will. I want to try the apep setup first, to see how it plays. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/FilthyMonkey/characters Need to work a cwdt setup in there too. Just been lazy about it. DP VP Berserker is super fun though. You explode entire rooms at a time. I handily recommend it, and think it is only going to get more popular (until they nerf VP and/or berserker, anyway).

My SR RF MoM Inquisitor, CiaphasKamehameha, is able to do T14s no sweat and T15s with a bit of luck and probably some deaths. I'd like to be able to try my hand at Guardians and Shaper. Are there any notable improvements left to be made here that would help me cross that wall, or am I getting near the point where the build reliability peters out? I'm rather poor at this point unfortunately, yesterday was not good for loot considering how much I spent on chisels, alchs, scours and the odd Vaal.
