Picked this game up a few days ago (thanks Stux) and having a blast, just now wrapping up Act 6. I'm using a guide for an RF marauder but otherwise kind of going in blind with regards to mechanics and discovering stuff like the heists has been blowing my mind lol. A question though-- I got a Divine Orb drop which I understand is a pretty nice windfall. Is there anything I should feel compelled to trade for at this point in the game or should I just worry about that later? Haven't used trade much aside from buying and selling some cheapo 1c uniques

Big thanks to Cretin90 for the endgame RF set, i am indeed having the time of my life playing my first league ever. I'm still too scared to equip that jewel that gives -75% to resistances or whatever and I'm pretty sure my skill tree is all hosed up because I'm a Juggernaut and not an Inquisitor but I just loaded up a T12 corrupted map with scarabs and poo poo and blazed through it and I think I blew a fuse in my brain, it was great. I could probably buy my way up the map ladder a bit but I'm having a hell of a time just seeing what drops and trying to fill out the atlas and do the Maven/Exarch etc quests. edit: what makes a lake map or temple map good to trade? I just throw them up for 15c because that still seems like a lot of money to me but once I got a ton of buy offers immediately off the bat on a lake and it made me worried I underpriced it

Cretin90 posted:You're welcome and if you are having difficulty getting the gear set to work together or with your passive tree please post in the thread and ask. It's helpful if you include your Path of Building link. I included pretty much everything you will need to get to level 95+ with the full gear set + double clusters + melding of the flesh but some of it may require minor tweaks due to being jugg instead of inquisitor. For example you may throw on all your gear and see your resists are like 148/132/85 and you want to get more lightning resist so that elemental weakness is less likely to dick you over (it shouldn't due to the curse resistance in the build, but this is just an example), in that case you could ask for advice on what gear to replace to get that next incremental lightning resistance. (it's the rings, those rings are extremely mediocre but I never bothered replacing them.) Thank you! Do you have a PoB for the build you were running that I could check out? I've been roughly going off the guide you recommended but based on the gear set I can tell it diverges a bit.

whypick1 posted:Needless to say, the game has changed a lot since Delve (4 years ago, for those keeping score at home), but the vast majority of it is stuff you wouldn't have even seen if you hadn't made it to maps yet. There's been much (much much much much much) grousing about a couple of change GGG has made this past league regarding rare monsters and loot drops, but this is still a drat fine ARPG. Yeah for what it's worth this is my first league and I've had a great time. I was kindly gifted some sick endgame gear so I sort of skipped over a big part of early map progression, but I didn't equip it until I beat the campaign and I found that to be a very enjoyable 30 hours or so.

The Atlas guide on the wiki says Zana should start showing up after clearing a T3 map but I'm well into reds and haven't seen her; is it outdated or something? Says it was last updated a year ago

More endgame content questions from me! Thanks everyone for the help so far on this. What's the natural progression usually like for the Atlas bosses? I beat Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds, and I assume Maven is the next one to work on. I know the last Voidstone comes from Elder In The Shaper's Realm but if I understand correctly that's like uber-endgame tier stuff. What's in between? Where do the conquerors and Sirus fit in?

Haven't really messed with my gear much since I put on the RF set but Cretin90 mentioned that the rings could use an upgrade and I found this which seems pretty good and would fill out my resists and free up a +30 int node that I've had to keep to meet gem requirements: Opal Ring -------- Requirements: Level: 80 -------- Item Level: 83 -------- 24% increased Elemental Damage (implicit) -------- +51 to Intelligence Adds 2 to 22 Lightning Damage to Attacks +39% to Lightning Resistance +31% to Chaos Resistance But if I understand correctly I've got room to add another prefix on this, right? Looking at my crafting bench the only relevant things it seems I can squeeze on there would be to add a little extra health or health regen. I haven't really done any crafting at all -- Is there anything cooler I can/should do? I have an Eldritch Exalted Orb, does that potentially do something for me here? edit: also is there a way to get rid of that "adds lightning damage to attacks" prefix and replace it with something better or would I just have to reroll the whole thing for that?

whypick1 posted:Eldritch orbs won't do anything, they apply to Searing Exarch/Eater of Worlds influenced gear, which can only be gloves/boots/helm/chest. Got it, yeah lol, I see I could preserve my suffixes at the low cost of 2div if I understand correctly. Are those sort of recipes the reason divines are worth so much more than exalteds?

I'm curious as someone new to endgame stuff, how do you make 5 div an evening farming 16s? Just knowing what sells? I got 150c selling an incursion map which was my biggest windfall outside of a couple divs that have dropped in the wild, but I'm not sure what the odds are for actually getting Locus of Corruption and Apex and all that good stuff on one.

It's still hard for me to get over that unit prices actually go up on bulk item buys just as a consequence of the archaic trade system (which, I will note, I find pretty cool)

PoB is surely displaying some numbers incorrectly for the Juggernaut "Unbreakable" ascendancy, right? It's telling me my max elemental hit gets increased almost 10x if I allocate it. If I understand correctly, armor mitigation is way better against small hits than big ones anyway, and I don't think 8% of my armor applying to elemental damage would stop me from being disintegrated by a 50k attack lol. It does seem good to me but there's no way it's that good

Aerox posted:I have been playing this game for years and I genuinely don't understand the value of Torment anything. I don't think a spirit or possessed monster has ever in my history of playing dropped anything worth a poo poo, and the only time I really notice them is when I'm obnoxiously silenced or I die to completely unexpected corpse explosions because a spirit was offscreen. Heralds is the one I really don't understand as a new player. Waiting for the waves to spawn in is a drag and aside from the (I assume extremely unlikely) chance of getting a mirror shard they don't seem to drop anything valuable. I guess when Exalteds were the main high-tier currency the exalted shards were nice but it seems there's no Divine equivalent?

Ok I think it's time for me to post my PoB because aside from gaining a couple levels I'm not really sure what my main goals should be to get stronger right now, what equipment upgrades I should be keeping an eye out for, etc -- I can do T16 maps right now pretty easily, dependent on mods. I got my rear end kicked by the 10-boss Maven invitation and the (non-quest) Eater fight but those may have just been me playing poorly. am I doing anything stupid with my tree? There are definitely a few nodes I'm not sure about -- I think Divine Shield is giving me a lot of survivability, but I'm not really sure. I feel like my HP is a little low for this build but I'm not entirely sure what my goal should be there either.

500 good dogs posted:12% max life for 2 nodes is usually a pretty good deal even without that other stuff 500 good dogs posted:12% max life for 2 nodes is usually a pretty good deal even without that other stuff Good point, that's a great ROI. I dropped Doriyani's and picked that up, also gained another level and grabbed the +50 life mastery (which I think is the best one for me? the one that trades off regen doesn't seem like a great deal for RF) -- also did those no-brainer reassignments, thanks whypick1. What should I roughly be shopping around for in terms of gear upgrades right now? Am I potentially better off with a body piece that goes all-in on armor instead of mixing with energy shield like I have now? Seems like anything with comparable rolls is pretty expensive but I suppose that would give me something to save up for, right now I feel a little directionless

 Is there something cool I can do to squeeze extra value out of this or just make the hardest metamorph I can? Seems like that's potentially a lot of currency edit: Booooo!

QuantaStarFire posted:As far as build viability goes, my RF Jugg does 440k Shaper DPS which is more than fine for comfortably clearing T16 alch-n-go maps and handled Exarch/Eater fine. Maybe that's just fine for RF though, maybe other skills would struggle at that level of DPS, no idea. I would love to see a PoB if you've got one, I've been running RF Jugg and 99% of the guidance I can find online is for the Inquisitor version. Killed most of the non-ubers at this point but wiped out to Maven and Sirius -- I think I can handle them if I get the mechanics down right.
