Mystery Prize posted:I should rephrase and say that it is possible, but quite a lot less efficient. Your character at level 93-96 (depending upon act 2 skillpoints vs other benefits) has 193% life and 154% evasion, vs the random level 80 cyclone marauder I just threw together that ends up with 210% life and 186% armor with 13 less points spent. Yeah, its kinda a bummer, but there are still a lot of good options with every starting class, just less tanky on the right side of the tree. Also, you a brave man rat, going melee acro. I wouldn't do that in sc. Oh, also, apperantly, one of the darkshrine things may have put in the guildmaster's "Guild Tag" slot, so if our glorious leader has a chance, check to see if anything is there.

Count Uvula posted:It's really not bad, the hard part is only that you'll have less HP/HP regen. It was really good back when acro didn't gently caress with your block chance. It's more to do with evasion/dodge not reducing the very rare hits that you take, so getting one shot is a bigger concern than with using armor/block. At least in my experience.

Count Uvula posted:Warlord's Mark and the leech gems themselves would both work. That's a good point. I don't like relying on a curse+blasphemy when Curse Immunity is such a common map mod. But if the damage is high enough on Blade Vortex, it could be pretty good in a high block/spell block build, with EB/MoM, use hatred and HoF/AA. But it would be more interesting if there wasnt a clear incinerate replacement for all the currency incinerate builds. funmanguy fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Dec 10, 2015 |

voltron lion force posted:The HC playstyle seems fun, rerolling all the time cause I'm bad at it does not. From what I can tell from seeing people in the guild play nothing but HC, death is just a part of playing. Like watching a really good movie with a poo poo ending, it doesn't matter because the journey was what was most important to that player. Like, I think I've seen Rat mad about a death once, it wasnt even when he was rank 4 on the HC ladder. Seemed like he just shrugged, and opened a blank tree to think of a new character. Also, I am not like that. I enjoy dying in poe. I love yoloing strongboxes, or seeing just how much a reflect map will hurt, etc. It was fun for me, to throw my corpse at the Desert Boss right after 2.0 came out. I didn't even get the kill, just -60%XP.

I don't think so honestly. Its part of one of the hardest challenges in the league, and you only need 28/32 completed to get the full set of armor. Plus I think its usefulness will drop a bit with leech changes on the tree and mana per level increases.

Oh also, if you are new or coming back from a bit of time away. If you aren't 100% sure about doing something, ask in gchat. Some people might be annoyed by silly questions, but they are wrong and dumb and ugly probably. If you are going to use currency on a thing you have, but you aren't sure if you should, ask, and we will try to help. The main exception is with pricing items in your shop. No one knows how to price things perfectly. And if our advice might be way off, you could lose a lot of currency, or waste a lot of time with an overpriced item. So we probably won't try to help when we may cause more harm than good.

The numbers on arc seem pretty good. You get the 5th chain at level 12 or something(and 7th at level 20), and the damage that it used to do at level 22, it now does at level 20.

Ok, about a week ago some people from the guild threw me some of the spare talismans to run down for rigwald sets.

theshim posted:Man I just gave away a ton of poo poo and it was great. I got an andvarius, what else did you give away? Vilgan posted:How do people have enough extra maps they can afford to sell? I had someone give me like 8 T7s and despite pushing them to very high quantity % I only replace them like half the time. Usually I'll get a bunch of crap maps and maybe a single T6 or T7. Over time you will go up map tiers. The way I do it is just alch the map, if I can run it, run it. No exceptions to that, sinking currency into rolling maps below T12 feels like losing a lot of money. Its nice if your build can handle all map mods, but if not, you can always try selling your unrunable maps on poe.trade for cheap, or trade them to goons who can run them in exchange for maps that you can run that they cannot. I've run a ton of maps this league, and it doesn't feel like big map returns come from amazingly well rolled maps, but from just normal 50 quantity/25 rarity/0 pack size/0 quality maps. My first T12 came from a blue volcano map.

Bugsy posted:Also the Ascendancy Trees have been tweaked. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/46i2am/changes_to_ascendancy_trees/ Glad they changed the Elementalist node, seemed like it was going to be like the rigwald ring, all gimmick and no usefulness. With what we know so far, I am most excited about Gladiator, Assassin, and Hierophant. Not to say that those are the best, they just give me ideas of stuff to do, and fit with how I like to play. Some of the others look outright insane if they were put into the game as is, but I would imagine that there will be a lot of other changes that comes with 2.2 to normalize things. Also, I wonder if it will be easy to get the last two points for an acendency class from the merc labyrinth. I think my first guy will be someone who can function well with only 4 points in a tree.

The big change I hope for is reworking the map mods for curse and stun immunity. They make me not want to play builds that focus on either of those mechanics because it feels like I am being taxed to run maps. The zana change is a big plus though.

Ekster posted:1) The 'old' way will still work. When I first started trading in Rampage League I found a video tutorial on setting up a thread and spent about 20 minutes setting up a thread and learning about buyout tags and the poe.trade site. This was before I finally caved and downloaded Procurement and way before I switched to Acquisition. I was pretty scared to give anything that looked like login creds to a third party program. While this new system only applies to people with premium tabs, people without can still use the third party programs, and when those stop working because of lack of updates, do it manually on the forums. It might be useful to put this into the OP if it isn't already there. So this seems like 2 steps forward with 0 steps back.

I am bad at making builds, and video games in general.

You could use the last two ascendancy points on Mastermind of Discord and throw out a frost trap every now and then for extra penetration, or go beacon of ruin for pseudo Elemental Proliferation. The tree is far from optimized or even finished, but it might work as a jumping off point. The Real Foogla posted:how much does an Aziri kill cost in TSC?

There is no reason that those items existing(or any mirrored gear for that matter) should change the way almost everyone plays a temp league.
