..btt posted:I have a specific question on lacerate actually - I generally do a life-based 2h lacerate slayer for early, cheap uber lab farming, but I do resolute technique and use Kondo's to keep it super cheap. Is there any straightforward way to covert to a crit build so it can scale higher without a shaper weapon? Or will this require buying an expensive rare foil(?) and stacking accuracy? It certainly would require much more expensive gear, since your gearing profile and tree would have to change significantly. Going RT reduces the stat dependency considerably, and while the effectiveness is going to go down in 3.0, I'm still fairly certain it'll break all content over it's knee. Bottom line is that I think Shaper weapon is actually much cheaper than trying to shoehorn all the rest of the stuff you need on your gear. And your damage goes down if you go to a 1H (damage nodes from slayer,) anyway. TLDR my first thoughts are that it would be much more difficult/expensive to make a crit lacerate slayer to be that much more effective than rt lacerate slayer

Unlucky7 posted:Should I take any elemental resist nodes that I can get at in the passive tree, or could that be covered by equipment? The lion's share of your resists will come from gear. Some of the nodes you will take either through pathing, or incidentally, will have resists on them. Outside of that, there will be case-by-case situations where you could maybe sacrifice one or two passives so you can slot some ridiculous piece of gear, or you manage to find a piece of gear that gives you enough +stats to drop one of your +30 stat nodes that you can then spend on resistance instead that you need. In general, resistances on nodes/jewels are edge cases that don't have any hard and fast rules

Vasudus posted:So since Hyaon's Fury is now 1% damage taken per frenzy down from 3%, I want to do something with it this league. 10% damage taken is a lot more manageable. I just don't know what. Blade Flurry or Lacerate

i would be 100% okay with a d3 rift-esque system that allowed me to just open a level appropriate random zone and let me murder stuff instead of having to (literally) just speed through the acts to get to the end

Vasudus posted:It's really refreshing to play a character that is all rares except two pieces (mainhand and boots). I can probably get chaos capped and still have room to play. Yeah; GGG has gone completely overboard on unique saturation and many players forget that many builds are perfectly fine with lots of rares, which, as you say, can lead to a lot of nice defensive payoffs!

Starforge Lacerate is still insanely powerful. I logged onto Standard the other day, and rebuilt my exact tree, with the exact same gems (none of the new ones) and gear and proceeded to deathless do all guardians & shaper with my old Cospris+Starforge slayer.

Whoever was asking about Vaal Temple: Depending on the map mods, it can be harder than Shaper by a healthy margin. Of course, it can also be straight impossible with a few combinations of mods.

cinci zoo sniper posted:You just have to player much more, and more efficiently. This point always gets made, but I think it gets overlooked and dismissed a lot, but it's absolutely true. The least-intrusive way to "make money" is to sell valuable things which drop. You can either run maps/zones that specific things can drop (Shaper, Atziri, Guardians, Council, etc.) or you can just plow through below-limit maps as quickly as possible (like, 90 seconds quick.) That's how you end up with Shavs, Sin's Rebirth, Belly, or whatever standard uniques actually sell decently. Other than that, you're looking at methods which are increasingly more "metagame" intensive. Farming and chain running prophecies is a good example, which I used to good effect at the end of my time in Legacy to amass roughly 7500 chaos by league's end. But that requires buying and maintaining a large stock of silver coins, spending a non-insignificant amount of time culling crappy prophecies, and then finally running zones and maps to trigger the good ones. Then you get into things like currency flipping and what-not, that have you spending more time out of game than in. If you just want to make money while playing the game as intended, it comes down to doing things incredibly fast and mindlessly (Bisco's collar is a new development that makes this method even more viable.)

The Wonder Weapon posted:A. What's the ranking of best movement skills? I'm a two-handed slayer, for what that matters. My personal preference is 6L+5L, with you main attack skill in your 6L and the safety of extra dps/utility Ancestral Warchief in the 5L linked to blind, instead of a heart.

starforge slayer: run vuln + temp chains on blashphemy you turds in an idea world you throw in a 4 link: Blasphemy + Vulnerability + Temp Chains + Enhance. If you throw a Lvl 4 enhance into say, a +1 gems atziri's step, you get an insanely massive +32% qual bonus on the curses. Temp chains alone gets something absurd like 67% speed reduction in that case

TheRat posted:Mao Kun hits incredibly hard, actually. Monsters deal (175-190)% extra Damage as Lightning + Monsters gain 3 Power Charges every 20 seconds means the boss crits very hard, and just to make it worse he uses spectral throw which hits multiple times if you're in the sweetspot. While legacy was generally a league which fast tracked you to being completely overpowered, Mao Kun could completely mess you up when you threw leaguestone mods at it.

John Lee posted:Nah, you misunderstand. I'm like level 25-ish, and there's always public groups with 4-5 people, all in different areas. I'm not JOINING these groups, because they're not, y'know, actually grouping in any significant way. I just thought it was weird and was wondering if there was any benefit to doing so. A ranking ladder exists, it's simply pointless since you'll never be in the top 100. Also you barely even get anything for it.

Making your own builds can be fun and rewarding! The problem is that those builds being any good requires 10x the effort and planning Source: I've done uber atziri with one of the best AND one of the worst skills in game

Infinite Karma posted:Speaking of Bisco's, one with a good roll (137 rare/95 normal/19 implicit) just dropped for me. I'm new and poor as poo poo (I have less than 1 exalt to my name, maybe 50c in valuable currency). It's my second valuable unique, after Doomfletch's Prism. Would I be better off selling it, or farming with it on? Farming with it on. It pays for itself extremely quickly.

lowball offers for ones in the 70-74% range. you likely aren't in a position to be willing to pay the "Perfect Premium" for an item, but you can get a 74% for probably 10C if you're stubborn enough. You can spend 1C on a whatever rolled one, then once an hour or so spam a bunch of unpriced ones on poe.trade

10bux posted:It entered my mind! ST is great for when I wanna do HoWa or BLS or something and don't wanna have to melee with them, but the single target damage from barrage or TS with all those extra projectiles is just way to strong. Plus, I'm going to be stacking as much lightning damage as possible, and would probably have a much lower crit chance using ST. Although, HOWA ST and the retch wouldnt be too bad.

silvergoose posted:Yeah that was my other real option. How do I ensure getting enough armor on it? Just get a nice high base and if somehow I get a full set of affixes without enough armor, scour and retry it, and I can enchant if there's open slots? Something like that? Honestly, you really aren't that far off of Starforge, and prices on them are dropping every day.

silvergoose posted:Okay so if you remember me asking about what to get next in heavy strike juggs Buy the starforge, 6S it, and then start throwing fuses at it until you get it to 5L. Then start saving up your fuses, and when you get a big chunk, start spamming them. Once you get to around 100 fuses or so, stop fusing once you 5L it back. repeat forever until you get your 6L.

The Wonder Weapon posted:I imagine most people getting rich are playing the economy, not the game. And they're not going to tell you about it. People think that there are a bunch of "ONE WEIRD TRICK" methods to generate wealth. There really aren't. The ones that do exist are very few and far between. The reality of Path of Exile is that it's a game gated by dice rolls. The way to get good dice rolls is by giving yourself more opportunities for dice rolls. The way you do that is by either playing more efficiently, or simply playing more. There's really no secret.

Lechtansi posted:I basically funded an Kaoms Heart by picking up jewelers and 6s. Aside from the occasional thing that would sell for over 10c, I fund everything via pocket change. "Pocket change" is a vastly underrated source of wealth. If you aren't picking up everything greater than a transmute, you're missing out on a lot more than you think.

Lots of people decline to pick up tons of stuff, and you'd see it all the time when pub groups were more of a thing.
