How many chromes did the carcass jack take? I've been trying to get my Ngamahu/Berserker to 3g/2r his 5L and it hasn't been going exceedingly well. There's also the problem of it being 6s and the offcolor landing on the free socket, of course.
Uh, I don't honestly remember, I think I got it in <100? It's gonna be substantially easier to color a 6L than a 5L 1S with vorici though.

Some questions about end-game stuff that I figure I could be doing better in some way.

  • Once you got a essentially unlimited supply of good shaped redmaps pouring in, what do you do with the tons of tier 10 and lower maps that start filling up stash tabs?
  • How much exalted/chaos/fusing or general wealth do you save up until you attempt to 6 link something or do you just buy up the 1500 for vorici?
  • Recommended end game loot filters, I'm right now switching between various strict neversink filters and modified ones like nifflers.

1. vendor them up, give them away or stop picking them up, maybe save some of the good ones in case I level an alt
2. depends if you're wearing it or not, if I've got a backup I just throw whatever comes in at it periodically, if not I wait until I've got like 150-250 or enough backup currency and can reasonably count on not bricking it. I never vorici 6Ls.
3. I use a modified greengroves for endgame

RF in 2.5 with inc aoe gem and two aoe clusters has a radius of 23.36. In 2.6 replace the inc aoe gem for conc effect and keep the same passives and the radius is 24.5. That's pretty awesome.

Edit: more stuff

Contagion is actually a very very slight nerf. The nerf is more pronounced if you use the inc aoe gem, but still relatively minor.
Glacial Cascade got a big ole buff.

Man it's kinda tempting to try rf, self cast or totems

That extra more modifier with virtually the same radius

Anyone have any idea what a semi-reasonable rate for buying perandus coins is?
For around 6000 of them? I started during breach so I have no idea historically and poe trade and asking sellers has been weirdly unhelpful.

Shiny unique popped up but I'm thinking now to just pretend I never saw it because it seems like way more of a hassle than I thought to get or buy quickly.

I don't know what they're at currently in this league, but they usually float around 100-120 per chaos, maybe up to 150 per chaos.

edit: what's the unique?

Still never seen a reliquary.

I have a tab full of white stones on both legacy and ssf that I will probably never use. Blue stones are cool, but entirely too rare if you weren't abusing the infinite stone poo poo. It'd be much cooler if you could craft leaguestones with orbs, even if they could only be blue at highest rarity. Or at least had a small chance of vendoring up to blue from whites with the recipe.

4K life is nothing for end game, especially on a melee build. Get a lot more, whether that's through gear, tree or both.

theshim posted:

You can get one as long as one of the three vendored is blue, but then I think it rolls the chance much like talismans.

This is correct. 9 out of 10 blue stones I'd rather run than vendor though, even with simple/single mods. Running white stones is so loving boring, I think perandus is the only one I regularly run regardless of rarity, just for the cadiro chance and extra coins.

Quick question about mapping while I'm at it. I seem to be stalling at around tier 7 maps and the only 10 I've found so far is malformations. Is there some Atlas thing I've screwed up? I'm doing ssf so buying maps is out! Please advise!

It kinda sucks in ssf, I don't think there's anything you're missing. I do make an effort to vendor up all maps if it'll give me new completions in white/yellows, and check Zana constantly for new stuff, but the ridiculous amount of chance orbs per map makes it kinda difficult in ssf too. Like I bought some for new completions from her, but at 4-6 orbs per I ran out pretty quickly and I'm not buying more from the loving vendor at a fuse each. You might also wanna put more effort into rolling your yellows etc to try and get better returns.

Yeah don't try fighting from outside, if anything it's worse because you can't see the stuff that's going to hit you. Not sure if that's intentional design but you're definitely meant to be staying inside.

For real, never set foot outside of a breach unless you're just planning on booking it as far away from it as you can. Anything else is asking to be turbofucked by a bunch of invisible and untargetable breach rares and/or a breachlord.

I rolled ele pizzatotems in SSF which works fine, the harder part of SSF is actually getting T15s to drop.

YoungSexualNorton posted:

Yeah, that's what I mean though. You've gotta go with one of the few really high yield builds. 2h warchief and flameblast totem are pretty much the top of the list for straightforward entry level builds. It'd be hell trying to SSF the endgame on top of a build that you just kinda cooked up on your own unless you really knew what you were doing.

and what I meant was that you've got to be pretty lucky to actually get challenging maps to drop in the first place in ssf

but yes, if you're trying to simultaneously learn the game, push maps and roll ssf, you're probably in trouble

Chimera is the hardest of the guardians for most builds, so you can probably take the others as well. What build are you running? Even running high quant/pack maps I've never self-found a single guardian map let alone three in one day so either your luck is really good or mine is poo poo.

I don't think I've even gotten a map drop above 13 on ssf yet, so yeah

Half the time I'm stuck dropping back to like 8s or 9s again.

It's arbitrary, fairly rare, and seems to happen in streaks, so if I start seeing it I just take a break and do something else both for my sanity and the sake of not dumping money into a void.

How did the self found no trade league turn out ? Did goons find it fun ?

I found it fun, more so than I really expected. I started it on a lark because I was burning out on regular legacy inside of the first week. It was an interesting change of pace and different challenge. Like someone else said, instead of just picking a build and going with it, buying whatever you need to build it then pushing to speed running shaped strands, it becomes all about leveraging what you have to get the best use out of it. End game lab becomes completely loving stupid though. I have 20+ offerings, a dude at 89, another dude in the high 80s and I'm still 4/6 I think. I'm also still stuck on like T13s, and I only got that far by running all the red map layouts I ordinarily despise.

Unfortunately, there's only so many builds that can push higher maps with garbage or random gear until you start building a decent collection, so it can feel kind of restrictive at times. I'm not sure how much I'll play it in the long run, but as I said I enjoyed it more than I expected last league. It was also strangely exhilarating not having to interact with poe.tr and pubbies at all.
