Don't most people play the challenge leagues, and those are rotating out on launch? I was playing for a bit but now I am considering waiting for the new league to show up and then restart.
That they do, but if you haven't played in forever you might as well dick around to remember the pedals. Nothing will just transfer to the next league.

1337 map bosses. :shibewow:

Otherwise doesn't look too bad, except for encounters 3 (well and depending on how fucky the harbingers will be) and the "boss trick" encounters potentially.

Encounters III looks like a pain if we have to use Zana for Perandus.

And does Voidspawn of Abaxoth show up without Beyond?

Yes it does, it's a generic bloodlines mod. The only requirement is monster level 61+.

Some more links for the OP:

PoE Trades Companion - basically a queue window with your trade whispers and various convenience buttons/hotkeys.

https://poeapp.com/ - like poe.trade but faster, with more mods and without forums indexing.

http://pathofstats.com/ - ladder rankings and some other statistics.
https://www.poebuilds.io/ - similar to Path of Stats, gives clearer view of builds on ladder.

http://xezzco.de/poetools/#/expCalc - experience penalty calculator, partially updated to 3.0 locations.

http://filterblast.oversoul.xyz/ - loot filter gallery with examples.

http://www.buildofexile.com/ - build search engine.
http://timtips.com/buildbrowser/#/list - another one.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1715993 - save your build to a single picture. A bit hacky.

http://gggtracker.com/ - developer post tracker.

http://poecraft.com/ - crafting stuff.

http://poeaffix.net/ - equipment crafting specifically.

http://poedb.tw/us/ - database that often gets early datamined poo poo, but is not necessarily reliable.

Anyone done much Storm Burst theorycrafting? MoM Inquis looks potentially decent, depending on the feel of the skill. Other HC league start options to consider - Berserker and, uhh, Pathfinder, Ascendant, and Elementalist?

Elentor posted:

Not sure if you got the change or not, but in case you didn't - it's now 30% total, absolute, instead of 10% per aura. So it's a nerf if you have more than 3 auras.

Yeah, on paper to me this looks a bit too much of a nerf, which is what surprised me. Going to see it through in game though before making any judgements.

I think it's too small of a nerf. Unless the game gets massively harder at endgame there's still no reason to run guardian support. They should have kept the values as they were and made it minions only.

Thats fair, I didn't think of the support angle much, just the summoner. I would certainly not mind minions instead of allies.

Exactly how bad of an idea is going KB wander for a league starter? Is it early map playable with a sort of lovely wand or do you absolutely have to spend 50ex on your wand for the build to be playable?

It's totally playable until red maps with p much whatever you found on the go + maybe a bit of currency thrown at the market for a right wand. Might die a bit tho.

I am genuinely thinking of storm burst cwc ball lightning.
I've thrown around the idea of CwC in my head and I'm really not sure how will it feel on the ground.

funmanguy posted:

Anyone got any goals for the league? Mine is getting 36 challenges and picking up some specific rare weapons that are impossible to find past the first month and a half. A 500+pdps exquisite blade and a 70+ spell damage 20 cast speed crit multi penetration sceptre.
36 challenges here too, nothing more specific this league. IRL stuff as is will probably leave short of time for the 36.

Stangg posted:

Well with the way the skill works it's going to be tough in HC anyway, it does very little damage before you release and you need to channel it. if anything the best way to mitigate that is with massive leech and making sure it kills whatever it hits.

Still seeing over 440k without Aspect of Carnage so I'm sure you could play around with it and get decent numbers, it's definitely more than enough for maps.
That goes beyond that point that me not feeling confidence in it doesn't make the build absolutely bad, I am just not sure I want to play it as the first thing.

Yeah that's fair enough, especially as you said with us not really knowing how balanced the final two acts are, I was going to go frost blades but even that I dont have high confidence in so I'll probably just go scorching ray/RF inquisitor.

To hell with the two last acts, I personally did abstain from watching almost any kind of beta footage. I wonder if I'll make it to the maps in under 10 deaths.

I wonder if you'll be able to kill depression or that terminator 2 cosplay boss in less than 10 deaths, those were some exciting fights that are going to gently caress up so many HC players, even with their nerfs.

I think that has been abandoned. Their update servers are down. No idea if it still works fine for 3.0. You should probably use Trade Companion though.


Also if anybody downloaded NeverSink's filter before 5 minutes ago, you need to redownload it. There was a bug that has been fixed in version 5.0.1.
Might be abandomed, whatever. Just remembered about it going through PoE stuff during downtime, and it has been updated relatively recently. Either works fine.
