Say, did you guys know that a Vagan arena counts as an area, and so you can arrive in there to be greeted by five Perandus packs? I didn't know that. Gosh, was that neat.

Along similar lines, tormented spirits can spawn in story boss arenas, and even possess said story boss. I found that out the hard way when Act 3 Piety got possessed by a cannibal and started eating all her adds.

I lower my config file to potato settings because my ancient machine likes to hang on zone changes but I guess this recent patch really buggered it up? Every time I would save the settings texture_filtering=0 and texture_quality=5 it would revert to texture_filtering=2 and texture_quality=0 (yes, these are potato settings) when I start the game. The other things I've fiddled with seem to stick but even these two things changing I notice a huge impact on performance. Any way to get my config file to behave?

Zone changes have been taking forever for me since the patch too.

Does anyone know how static strike interacts with ancestral call support? I know the initial hit works as expected, but does it also mean I get three different discharges per attack?

doesnt ss have the aoe tag? ac shouldn't work with that

Molten Strike has the AOE tag but it works perfectly with AC, because the initial hit isn't AOE. And like I said, I'm definitely getting the extra attacks for the initial hit of Static Strike. What I want to know is if I also get two extra static discharges from it.

I gotta say those recipes look really cool. I guess the question is what the drop rate on low level nets is going to be like, and whether it's worth four of them for the QS flask or the MS boots.

Other than a handful of leveling recipes, it doesn't seem like it's worth capturing anything until you get to maps. Maybe for fixing resists or stats, but I'd rather just pay someone an alch and be done with it. It's just way too tedious.

Hows shield throw?

It feels just like Frost Blades, but worse in almost every way. It's slower, it has less options for scaling, and the secondary projectiles have shorter range and don't auto-target. I'm not a fan.

To iterate on Mentat's advice, ED/Contagion is really gear independent and you can just go nuts and have 75% damage reduction on basic mechanics. I'm not a huge fan of the playstyle but RaizQT made two videos about leveling it and doing a basic setup if you're interested.

Man I really want to watch this but it's almost 40 minutes of unorganized rambling over twitch footage, complete with dumb subscriber animations and a loving facecam. Doesn't even have a written guide ffs.

I did my first temple clear, and I didn't make it to the apex but I now have 6 chaos orbs at level 18 thanks to a fully upgraded currency room.

Also Vaal Arc owns.

If I had one complaint about Incursion, it's that actually trying to connect the rooms is a huge pain in the rear end. It's extremely frustrating when Alva sends you to nothing but disconnected rooms and you can never get a stone of passage to drop in time.

Lightning spire trap is cool but between the damage range of lightning, the random aoes and my current crit chance I'm getting some very inconsistent results. Sometimes I throw three traps on top of a boss and it tickles them, sometimes it instantly deletes them.

You definitely want to get increased AOE support on it, which increases the radius of the hits but does NOT increase the range in which it can hit. Higher AOE means less potential misses.

I'm following this guide almost to the letter and I haven't had any problems with survivability. Granted I'm still only on Act 10, but I've been able to facetank almost every boss so far.

In the first two fights against Izaro, take out all the things he has with him (gargoyles, skeletons, pylons, etc). Anything you don't kill in those fights will be carried forward to the final encounter, so killing them early makes that a lot easier. You can get an extra treasure coffer for leaving them alive, but it's not really worth the effort for the low level labyrinths.

I was the same way about trading until I tried it and realized that there's literally no "conversation" or any kind of socializing expected. This is what you do:

1) Ctrl-V the message your trade site gives you into chat
2) Click yes when the popup appears to join a party
3) Go to their hideout (they will already be there at this point)
4) Click yes when the popup appears for a trade request
5) Put your poo poo in the trade and click trade

It's like interacting with a bot. The only time you'll ever get a message back is when they say "ty" after the trade is over, or the rare case where they ask you to wait two minutes while they finish something.

You forgot the part where you have to repeat 1) until you find someone that is actually online and at their keyboard and doesn't just ignore you.

It may be a dick move, but it works. I put everything in 1c buyout quad tabs without even looking at it; if I'm immediately flooded with whispers I know I have something worthwhile and I go figure out a real price. Whenever someone wants to buy something that's been in there for a while I do a quick check to make sure it's not worth more than 5c or so before selling it. If you don't like it, uh, get GGG to implement a real trading system I guess

I accidentally did this with a pair of Tombfists with two abyssal sockets this league, fortunately I actually had people whispering me with reasonable offers instead of trying to take advantage of my stupidity :shobon:
