Frank Frank posted:Just noticed something odd with my gear. My helm as a "red" requirement on it (int for the enlighten gem). The helm itself is not highlighted red like it would normally be if I didn't meet the stat requirements. Is the helm still granting bonuses? How is the Enlighten gem working when I don't meet the int requirement for it? I know it's working because I have all 4 auras running still. Replica dragonfang's flight is lowering the gem attribute requirement, but the original requirement still shows when you hover over your helm. Your enlighten is still working, if you didn't meet the requirement you wouldn't be able to use the auras or get any stats from your helm at all

Yet another reason I can't swap back to fury valve right now. The other reason being I need the mana reservation on it. Did the shaper guardian bonus map nodes go away? I can find the ones for increased conqueror maps, but not shaper guardians or the Elder's weirdos. E: Oh wait, I've made this mistake before. I'm using singular focus which is preventing them from dropping.

I think my brain has finally accepted having to buy gear. I don’t care for the atlas map and the overall lack of guides telling me where to put points though. I understand why, but it’s still overwhelming for a new player. I’m glad there’s more than one.

Tried the new league with my wife last night. The gimmick seems okay. She is running the same glass-cannon shooty thing with traps this time and I am running the same tanky guy but focusing on life on hit/life regen with evasion/dodge instead of the usual armor/block. It was fun.

Beat searing exarch on the 4th or 5th attempt after spending some cash and getting better at balls (and waiting until they're gone before respawning). Got another 30k or so EHP and about 40% more phys max hit: https://pobb.in/lia89ePlFas8

For buying gear, do you aim for exactly what you need with links and socket colors or is the expectation that you get something decent and then gamble on them for colors/links?

I FINALLY took down Exarch, thanks for the "waiting out the balls" strat. I don't know why it gave me so much trouble this time around (answer: dps still needs to go up).

Unless it's a chest or two-weapon, socket/color/link it yourself. If it's one of those two, I usually buy the 6L and color it myself.

Honestly you'll see some guides to trees here and there but the reason you don't see them everywhere like you do with actual builds is that it's pretty hard to gently caress it up. If you focus on one or two mechanics you like doing, you're going to make some currency. Some strategies are definitely more lucrative than others, but it's not like your character's passive tree where you can gently caress it up and brick it.

Trying to figure out where to go next with this Ignite DD. POB: https://poe.ninja/pob/1BbI Have been following tripolarbear's guide: https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/detonate-dead-elementalist-league-starter-guide I have 13 raw div and another ~600c to play with. I think the next move is upgrade chest and shield to higher spell suppression tiers so that I can swap to a damage oriented anoint, and also go for dot multi on a new amulet. None of that would likely improve my overall EHP, for that I'll need to either switch the life craft on helm to phys taken as fire, or get a new helm that already has life to add that craft. I could also grind out a couple more levels to finish off two more armor passives in range of Energized Amour, maybe that's even lower hanging fruit. Is there more obvious stuff I'm missing?

- The campaign was a miserable experience. The guide recommended using the usual flame wall/rolling magma which I loving hate but ok, I'll use that until I get to Armageddon brand/cremate... but it only grabs Eldritch Battery after the CoC swap about lvl ~70 so mana is An Issue. I'm pretty sure I could have fixed this with some effort or put together a more comfortable/fun campaign loadout myself but I'm dumb and lazy v v - It needs quite a bit of stuff before you can actually start using it: At least two variant gems, two quality 20 gems, at least a 5-link and a bunch of respec points. I got to high red maps with an RF chief before swapping to this, so I had some money to throw at it (a div and a couple hundred chaos), but I can't see putting this online fresh out of the campaign without burning out from running merc lab. I actually tried to get the DD gem myself but out of ~20 runs I only saw the 'get a variant gem of the same gem' option 3 times, and all 3 rolled DD Of Scavenging Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 14:13 on Apr 16, 2024 |

I found the "just run Merc Lab" a really bad tip. At the lvl you are at the end of the campaign, it's much faster to just run Normal Lab, which I had down to 4mins per run at 68 after Kitava and made some nice spending money from other gems I accidentally got while going for "Give me a Variant Gem of this colour".

I'm shopping for a helm and new body armor and ran across this: Item Class: Helmets Rarity: Rare Blood Brow Royal Burgonet -------- Quality: +20% (augmented) Armour: 499 (augmented) -------- Requirements: Level: 65 Str: 148 -------- Sockets: B-R R-R -------- Item Level: 83 -------- 6% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage (implicit) 12% increased Area of Effect (implicit) -------- +29% to Chaos Resistance (fractured) +98 to maximum Life +1 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems +26% to Fire Resistance 9% increased Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills 7% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage (crafted) Searing Exarch Item Eater of Worlds Item -------- Fractured Item -------- Note: ~b/o 6 divine Obviously the minion skill gems mod is worthless to me but everything else is super nice and I can rework the eldritch enchants pretty easily. Pull the trigger? My concern is that Precise Technique will stop working since I will be below the accuracy threshold. I can mitigate this somewhat by switching out Paradoxica for Dreamfeather but I'm not sure if it'll be enough (and I can't find where in PoB to check this). Current PoB here: https://pobb.in/LT9Xu2szgGpX E: NM, I need to find another source of +int if I'm going to use Dreamfeather because I need to be able to use Enlighten.

running merc lab is the significantly better option from a pure metaprogression standpoint, but running 4 minute normal labs is the far easier and less stressful option if you just want the gem and dgaf about the small chance to hit the exceptional gem craft

I just used arma/cremation to get into yellow maps when I started CoC DD and then ran merc lab from there and it was fast/easy. Took 20 something runs though, still my favorite starter ever. The DD gem was only 20C and spraying steel was less even on Day 1/2 so you could have easily done whatever you wanted as arma and bought the gems, then maybe run a few labs to get the quality up if you want.

Arma brand is way out of balance strong in campaign. You should be flying through with just that

I was struggling with running Merc Lab when I realized that I had a level 90 Exang Miner just sitting there and then I started flying through it. Obs, that means you've already leveled one character already but at this point mining Merc should be easier.

anyone feel like comparing/contrasting coc dd inquis vs. trickster hexblast mines with sandstorm visage? I have a coc dd character at endgame with about 15d invested and i'm feeling the grass is greener with mines. my gut tells me hexblast was stronger with similar investment back when i did it but probably significantly squishier. maybe i'm just lazy and like to not worry about map mods, i dunno. the damage doesn't feel quite as nuts with dd as i expected.
