psy.Che posted:As somebody working in IT, it really baffles the gently caress out of me how this kind of thing is still happening in 2017. Just use any big cloud vendor (AWS, MS Azure,...), make repeated large scale perf tests beforehand, have their support on stand by and hugely oversize your resources at first cause it's incredibly easy to reduce them if need be. For many systems that are extremely complex, as I imagine PoE is, bottlenecks are non-obvious and you can't test for every single case before it happens. "Throw more boxes at the problem" is a very expensive idea that often fails to address the actual root cause.

NecroMonster posted:aah. Ok. If you run high tier maps you will inevitably make money. You can exploit market inefficiencies to make more money (e.g. people hate running lab) but it's basically impossible to not make currency if you just play the game. Unless you have specific goals like getting a headhunter just run maps and enioy yourself.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:i don't like cutedog out of principle, but yeah that build seems pretty neat. Not really a fan of requiring a very specific rarely used chestpiece as opposed to shavs or belly though. Discharge also feels real weird. I'm actually considering both of these builds once I finish running 100 uber labs. The only requirements are that it has good clearspeed to T13 and that it shatters things, because that's the most satisfying combat sound in PoE. Autoherald sounds nice and relaxing though, but I don't want to buy Vaal Breach to kill bosses.

So my super expensive build this league has been Ele Wander, which is completely off-meta and has never been done before" https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/interrodactyl/characters?charactername=pleasebuffwanders I still have ~1400C to spend, and plan to take the character to 93-ish. Mapping is fine; I get to hear a ton of shatter sounds and see Vaal Power Siphon lag my entire screen for 20 years. Wise Oak is always up so resists aren't an issue. So, some questions on what's left to upgrade. Passives: - I will respec from Heart of Oak; I can grab 8% life + 16% evasion from the Revenge of the Hunted Cluster, and I believe it's more movespeed anyway with QoTF - Finish the wand crit / multi cluster - Ideally I'd like to add another jewel slot, but I'd go out to the Golem's Blood cluster if I wanted to do that, and 15% life is hard to pass up. I do have the money for an expensive jewel, though. Gems: - Now that I'm running Ice Bite on KB for frenzy generation, I'm thinking of replacing Blood Rage and Ice Golem to just run Empower 4 / Enlighten 4 on Wrath. Ice Golem dies too much and Blood Rage sucks to play with as VP. - 21/20 everything. Items: - I have a much higher life / evasion shield I can swap in for T16/Shaper, but I still need a GG amulet. I assume the go to stats are some combo of: life, accuracy, lightning dmg, crit, multi, and % ele? - I could buy GG opal rings, but it never seems worth the additional cost (and I don't want to re-fix my resists). - Is Wise Oak the best flask for bossing? I was thinking about replacing it but the penetration makes a huge difference.

Phil Tenderpuss posted:Can anybody with experience playing a ele wanderfinder point me in the direction of a good build guide or give me some general tips? The build guide I'm looking at right now is https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1906135/page/1 but since I know nothing about playing a wander, was wondering if there was a better one. I wouldn't use that. I assume his 1ex was at standard/legacy rates (~80-100c toward the end of the league), and it hasn't really been updated it looks like. It really depends on how much money you have to spend (see my post a few above yours for some decked out gear), and what your goals are. Wanders are pretty flexible because barrage and kinetic blast do so much damage from just added damage from gems and auras. Wanders are also really meta right now so things are going to be pretty drat expensive. If you don't have currency, scion is much easier to start with (~200c will get you in decent shape), but pathfinder scales way better late because flasks are broken as poo poo. For reference, my character is wearing probably 35ex of gear and I could easily pour another 30ex in before it before it would be done. The cool thing is that you can definitely feel every upgrade you put into the character. e: Note I do not actually recommend doing scion wander but if you're determined and you don't have poo poo for money you can use mathil's guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy2KsELejwc interrodactyl fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Aug 28, 2017 |

Phil Tenderpuss posted:Thanks for the info. I've got a good amount of pathfinder gear and a few of the more expensive flasks already along with about 250c so I'd like to do a pathfinder build. I haven't been able to find any good guides for one, though. Any ideas? Holyshoot posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1764075/page/1 that guide is a good start but i'd also suggest looking into esh's mirror and a vaal power siphon setup for really fast clear. the guide is optimized for endgame boss killing with safety (good goals) but you can level much faster with a clearspeed setup, and you'll still melt t15 bosses because barrage is stupid.

Phil Tenderpuss posted:Can you elaborate on what you mean with esh's mirror and vaal power siphon? With esh's mirror, every mob you kill in the last 4 seconds adds lightning damage to your attacks, and with how fast a qotf wander clears, this can stack up to be huge numbers. You're also staking souls for a 4L Vaal Power Siphon, and with enough crit and chain, you can obliterate 3 screens worth of trash mobs, which adds more damage to esh's mirror and recharges VPS, which means you can run to the next pack and keep spamming VPS with good positioning. If you ever played vaal spark, it clears at that level of speed and makes headhunter/inspired learning more worth. Even if you don't go balls to the wall with it, it's still a nice clearspeed/DPS increase for very little investment. When you want to switch to boss killing just pop in orb of storms / power charge on crit / curse on hit / projectile weakness. Raider might have higher peak DPS but that's under absolute ideal conditions. Realistically, Pathfinder will be a billion times smoother and will let you turn on the gas at will. It's not like you need the extra damage for KB or Barrage, so I don't see the benefit of going raider.

I could see a version that takes every frenzy charge and like 100% life being better DPS wise but there's no way otherwise As a wander you have plenty of damage to kill things from just wrath/hoi/added lightning/penetration. Everything is doable with a Piscator so you don't even need an insane wand. So it's really about how much defense you can stack comfortably without losing DPS. If you have play money after that then buy insane gear. The nice thing is that wander scaling means every expensive item you buy, you can feel the impact.

10bux posted:Hey goons I need some help with a new build. Wandin has been really fun and really good, but I'm simply out of foreseeable upgrades and the only thing left to do is level to 100 (which im not interested in what so ever). https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1816896/ I ran LL SRS Auramancer with this united in dream setup in 2.6 and it was very good and fun. LL is still viable if you have a shitton of money to get dope gear, and while the damage is slightly worse; it's still pretty drat awesome. Might not be quite as tanky as you want though. Ultimately if you want to do a minion-ish build though, I'd recommend some sort of animate weapon if you have all the currency you need. (also give me your wander gear)

Ciaphas posted:Think I should sell my Taste of Hate and get a Bisco's (and maybe some Divines)? for my SR MoM Trickster? I can't make up my mind, it's such a valuable flask. Biscos is worth every chaos. It is the 2nd best item in the game. If your build can wear biscos and isn't doing so then wtf are you doing. If it can't wear biscos then it's a bad build. Especially with how many alts you roll, this will maximize your gains.

silvergoose posted:6L qotf...isn't, jesus. If you're going to buy one, make sure it has good colors! Otherwise you're in a for a world of hurt when you try to re-color it. For BBBBRG (my colors before I sold the chest), vorici average with 3B is just under 4200 chromes. If you can't afford 5 off color, 4 off is enough to get by. With how hosed up the economy is this league, I think you're better off just buying a 6L unless you believe in your RNG really hard. Ciaphas posted:Thanks a lot! This gives me a great focus to start working on. I may also blow some respec points moving toward the tree you posted, mine is probably 20r or so off. But I'm only 70, plenty of points to help correct. One cool thing about the wander is that every exalt I put in made the build feel better and better, so there's a lot of room to grow. If you don't roll a million other alts you can play this for the rest of the league honestly. KB helps a lot because that's an insane skill. e: You're also only level 70; the build really started to shine around 80 for me, and only got more insane as I got to 90. interrodactyl fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Sep 5, 2017 |

AnonSpore posted:What's a good budget for a wander look like, I hear wands are stupid expensive You can build a decent one for 100-200c: Piscator's, 5L QotF, Lycosidae, Atziri's Step, Dying Sun, w/e rares you want with ideally life/res/aspd. To go beyond that, each piece of gear starts costing a lot, but you'll really feel the upgrades. The realest answer is to stop playing this game and go practice GG.

Yes, i know my wand isn't that good, barely better than a Piscator, but im working on another, just need the ex for crafting it. Easy gear fixes: Swap barrage into your 5L, get a Dying Sun, and you're good enough for T11 maps. Next gear fixes: - I would replace Esh's mirror with a Lycosidae or a rare shield if you're balling (need more flat accuracy everywhere though). - Atziri's Step - Attack Vinktar - 6L - +2 Barrage Helmet - Better rings On your tree, get rid of: - Instability - Crackling Speed - That DoT/regen node over coldhearted calculation???
