ABombpk posted:Thinking I'm going to try RF totems as a league starter. Change it up a little bit from Inquis FB totems. I followed his 2.6 guide through the Act 8 beta and it went incredibly well. Highly recommend going the soul mantle + double kikazaru route as soon as you can equip soul mantle, getting level 20 spell totem at level 49 effectively quadruples your dps.

Is getting to uber izaro in the mid 70s actually viable for a league starter? So far the only time I got all six trials done was in legacy league, after getting two characters past level 80.

Nova Odin posted:According to this guy it's not totally dead: It's not completely dead, but it's a lot worse as a league starter, since you're a lot more reliant on using tukohama's and having a 6l'ed soul mantle. e; removing the 6th link, tukohama's, and scorching ray (which you need tukohama's to use) drops your dps from RF to 210k and your dps from searing bond to 90k. A 2.6 build with the same restrictions has about 300k RF damage and about 55k searing bond damage. Eminai fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Aug 3, 2017 |

Ciaphas posted:Got my Inquisitor up to 69 last night, and got RF rolling. Shield Charging through packs and having them all die in hellfire as I pass is definitely fun, as is turning the scorching ray on for rares and bosses. Clarity is super helpful, as is getting +mana regen on a couple of rares. You can usually get it pretty cheap because nobody else really wants it and it blocks a good suffix. If you don't have them yet, prioritize getting the mana regen nodes near MoM and the max mana nodes near witch start. Getting max mana or mana regen on jewels can help, too. Basically just do a ton of little stuff that adds up eventually.

SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:If you miss price an item and change it that's fine but purposefully listing things cheap af to see if they're any good is kind of lovely imo. Waste of time for other people. yeah, they should really just make it so that when you post an item up for a certain price, whoever offers that amount first automatically gets the item. that's probably impossible on the technical front or something, which is why no other game does anything like it.

How do other people deal with it? 1. Use Purity of Fire 2. Path to Battle Rouse and Mana Flows 3. Get gear with mana regen. You shouldn't need a ton, maybe 50-80% between all your gear.

Imagine how awesome it will be when some bored dude realizes that you don't need any currency to do market manipulation, just half a dozen VMs and an AHK script to keep AFK mode off. Part of the "hardcore experience" shouldn't be getting a hundred whispers a minute because you didn't know the 30 lowest prices on tabula were all fake.

Control Volume posted:I started playing this game two weeks ago and it's really fun, then I made a new character with a guide after getting a feel for the game and it got a lot more fun but I really wish they had an in-game database that let you search through skill gems, or at least skill gems you can potentially see at that point in the game. If you do a side quest in the Library area of Act 3 you get access to a vendor that sells every skill gem except for the ones you unlock at act four and the 5 or so non-vaal gems that aren't sold by any vendor ever.

Tiny Bug Child posted:What's the actual concern with implementing some kind of AH that automatically transfers the item? I get that it's not going to happen because GGG doesn't want it, but I don't understand how having frictionless trading and prices that actually reflect the market value of items could be a bad thing for the game. The realistic concern is that items currently in the <5c price bracket will trend towards vendor value because there's a non-zero supply of them that currently aren't being sold because it's not worth the effort for the return. Similarly, cheap uniques with good vaal implicits will dip because it will be easier to buy a hundred of them to mass vaal. People who don't understand economics turn this into "Everything will be worthless except one item that will cost ten thousand mirrors and also your firstborn".

Like obviously if someone wants to do it then more power to them, but the idea just doesn't appeal to me in the same way that 'run a shitload of maps with bisco's' does. Nah, market fuckery is awful to try to do in this game, because GGG wants everyone to trade like it's 1999.

awesmoe posted:Anyone know what they're doing with dork pact berserker? Looking for advice on where to go next - https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/herculepyro/characters If you want to do MoM DP just use The Covenant as your body armour and socket your gems in that. If you do go MoM you should probably stay crit, since getting Atziri's Acuity is the only way to get instant mana leech afaik. My DP character is EminaiDP, and I think it's a pretty good example of a moderately expensive crit DP character. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Eminai/characters

Vulpes posted:Would you say it's a better version of the build than this crit-focused one? I'm currently leveling with that guide but it's not too late to switch. I'd stay crit if you intend to spend more than 10ex on gear for that character. At the high end of gear, crit scales very well, and being able to wear Atziri's Acuity and refund Vaal Pact is a huge QoL upgrade.

whalestory posted:I took a look at the wiki and all the enchantments and affixes look like they only require ilvl 75 but i've heard peopel mention ilvl 84 base items at some point but i forgot what the context was. How much does ilvl matter past 75? ilvl 84 is what you need to be able to roll the highest tier of resists. It's generally not a good idea to craft on any non-unique items below ilvl 84.

You can buy an i84 wand for 1-2c, which is a pittance compared to the amount of currency you're going to light on fire before you get anything good.

pork never goes bad posted:Your original words were "wrecks VD builds" - just because it wrecked your bad one, doesn't mean it wrecked VD builds. Grumpiness aside, wanna post a character link and some folks here (maybe even me!) can help you optimize/recover? Yeah that would be great. Here's the pastebin https://pastebin.com/J7BFJXrA I'm pretty sure I can retain reasonable clearspeed with only four balls per cast if I drop conc. effect for increased AoE, so you just need to find a way to get 50% more damage out of that tree and gear without sacrificing any evasion (because I'm just barely at the QotF cap with flasks up) or life. Should be easy, yeah?

Anyone still using it at endgame? I'm doing red maps as flicker slayer in almost full MF gear, Ventor's with decent quant and the resists I need are still outside my budget. The degen is trivial to manage once you have Endless Hunger, just remember to be careful if you're doing maps that lower your max resists. e; Elentor posted:I'm pretty sure Mathil can kill Shaper and Uber Atziri with literally whatever, FFV 4JF style.

J posted:How does it fare versus bosses? I use blade flurry in a second oni-goroshi in a weapon swap if the boss has an arena and I'm not lucky enough to have a breach/abyss in there. The biggest hurdle for bosses is that you only have 5-6k life (with kaom's) and you're melee so you have to get used to dodging a lot. You're looking at about a million dps with Abyssus at 90 so they still die very quickly, even with all the dodging around.

ubachung posted:I know some goons are doing oni-goroshi flicker and I'm thinking of trying it myself, so I've got some questions before I jump in. I think the only viable ascendancies for oni flicker are Slayer, Ascendant, and Raider. The fire degen isn't the biggest issue, frenzy generation is. Raider solves that with ascendancy passives, and with the overleech from slayer or ascendant slayer you can safely run blood rage.The Green Dream is also a very useful thing for all three classes. If you want to try something really out there, low life Guardian might be viable but I have no idea how you'd do it. I've only done this as Slayer so take my musings on other ascendancies with a grain of salt. Going RT and trying to force ignite instead of just going crit seems like a really bad idea because I'm pretty sure the only way you'd get your ignite chance to anywhere near an okay level is to use the Chance to Ignite gem, which is garbage. I'm not sure why you're going for fire conversion, all you need to proc her embrace is one Abyss jewel with adds # fire damage to [sword] attacks.

ubachung posted:Thanks, I haven't done much with ascendant so I might have a look at that. If you want to go the ignite route, maybe try abberath's hooves. Spreading ignite when you kill an ignited enemy seems like a decent way to keep her embrace rolling. It looks like you can get 10% ignite from the enchant, up to 3% on each non-abyss jewel (so maybe 4?), and 10% each from a unique in body, boots, amulet, or ring slots. Just for comparison, I have 85% effective crit chance with a diamond flask up. For fire conversion the best I can come up with is 40% from the Anger conversion Watcher's Eye and then converting 50% of your physical to cold with Hrimsorrow and converting 80% of your cold to fire with double Pyre.

Holyshoot posted:poe.trade uses currency trade prices to decide whether the price in alchs is more or less then what the first lowest chaos listing is. So if something is up for 11 alchs and someone comes in and lists it for 1 chaos. That one chaos will show first. So it works just fine but the problem is everyone is listing poo poo in alchs and the lowest chaos listing is still more then what the lowest alch listing is. Also it seems poe.trade has no way to filter showing just chaos listings. That’s completely wrong, poe.trade just assigns a chaos value to all other currency and is way too slow to change it. So right now you have stuff priced at 3 alchemy showing up as less than 1 chaos, or stuff at 1 exalt showing up as less than 60 chaos.
