whypick1 posted:"I forgot this game even had a Mac port, who does that these days?" I tried cause my GPU died but the mac client is actually a broken, unmaintained dumpster fire hiding behind a paper plate mask of function. Eventually you start seeing broken textures and infinite geometry that kills the game down to a 10fps mess. It’s pretty much unplayable once you get to maps.

JamesKPolk posted:This was my experience last league but the two before it, it was kind of okay? This league I get 50-60 fps most places, delve textures are a shitshow, and the floor covers my field of view in the bottom quadrant of the Eater arena Yeah I’m also on an m1 mba. I put up with it for a while because it mostly did okay but half the red map textures are busted beyond playable for me, as in literally blocking half the screen from view. In doing some googling it seems like the macOS build has been busted since at least April and nobody has any good workarounds while GGG barely acknowledges it. Glad it’s working out for you at least, but I can’t recommend it. At least I picked a good league to miss until I track down a cheap 1080 or something to replace it with.

Can somebody give me a short idiots guide to raise specter/desecrate in relation to CoC/DD Inquis? I’ve only really played Ranger the other couple leagues I’ve picked this up, and this mechanic is a new one to me. I’ve gathered that what I’m doing is basically building a little pool of dead enemies that Desecrate calls up just prior to the DD firing, but how does that pool actually work? Do I need to go repopulate it every time I log out/log in? Is it overridden by some other actions?

euphronius posted:If you bring your raised spectre (the ghosted mob) into your hideout it is saved to your desecrate pool even if you unequip raise spectre gem. This save will continue across log outs. The game will only save a number of distinct spectres equal to the number of spectres you can summon when you have raise spectre in a gem slot. Each of these saved spectres has a 15% of being summoned by desecrate. Ah, the hideout step was what I missed. Weirdly convoluted but I guess I don’t know what else I expected from PoE. Much appreciated.

Every time I play this I get a little bit further before I hit the wall of ‘I don’t understand why I’m dying anymore and none of it makes any loving sense’ and give up again. T17 maps and drowning orbs sure are a load of goddamned bullshit. Maybe next time.

Yeah I tried my first one today with COC DD, was blazing through t16 maps no problem, 2 voidstones, capped res, etc. Smoked exarch, eater and elder no problem, feelin good. Everything on that map either stun locked me until the drowning orbs did their instant kill, or just one shot me themselves. Between that, losing to Maven at the very end to shield charge just refusing to work and walking through AoE damage for a solid 5 seconds, and shaper just being garbage I’m real frustrated with this game today. May or may not bother to keep going at this point.

I decided to try swapping to the ‘tanky’ version of Rue’s coc dd and somehow it feels even worse than before. Seems clear I’m not getting something about this. This is the pobb: https://pobb.in/eJW1dnzUx5E9 This is what I’ve got: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/VegastarLH/characters Working on a shield craft to replace that mediocre thing, and I know my jewels need some more work, but I didn’t think I was in this bad of shape. I’ve only got about 5div to play with at the moment, but even just understanding what I should be working toward would be a start.

Vulpes posted:What is your problem - lack of DPS, or lack of tank? Tank is mostly the problem. I just spent like 5 minutes looking at that pobb trying to figure out what the gently caress divine flesh is before looking it up on the wiki. What an absolutely unhinged design. I’ll go buy the jewel - I know I need a bit more chaos res in there, it’s on the ‘upgrading helm or gloves’ plan. Shield I’m working on, only takes 32 goddamned -elemental corpses to craft, so uhh -checks notes- only 28 to go. Belts on the list somewhere down the line too. Living that slow, consistent life of selling harvest juice because I’m too stupid to figure out most of the other mechanics and how to squeeze value out of them. Edit: what the gently caress are these sacrificed numbers and how am I ever supposed to have an idea of which is worth using? Also which jewel slot is this thing supposed to go in to? Pobb is less than helpful about that bit. Vegastar fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Apr 18, 2024 |

Setec_Astronomy posted:Are you doing all your build planning at pobb.in rather than in Path of Building Community? If so the time to switch over now (and the right time to switch over was the instant you started playing the game). This is all assuming that I am way more competent at this than I am, if that helps put it in to context any. I think I must be using the wrong thing, I guess. The mechanics of this god awful jewel are so insanely overwhelming to me right now and I can’t wrap my head around how something so convoluted and poorly explained can be so critical to building this character. Like, how bad is it going to go for me to just pick one for a div somewhat randomly until I can take the time to comprehend this clusterfuck? I just wanted to click on stuff until it dies.

Eezee posted:Also going back to your initial problem. You are missing leech for fire damage as an Eldritch implicit (searing exarch)and you got the wrong Watchers eye mod. This is the one you want https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/v5RgLUE Yeah the eldrich stuff and my random jewel (which turned out pretty lucky, got a bunch of much-needed movespeed out of it) was a huge part of the problem. I was just rolling them as I got currency but bit the bullet and bought a couple hundred of each and fixed the poo poo. Things seem to be going better now, at least enough that I can work from here to get some real upgrades. Still frustrating how much of this is so obtuse, but appreciate the guidance. On a less ‘angry at video games’ note I think Delerious maps may be my new favorite thing. Hadn’t gotten around to trying one of these until now.

Things seem to be going better now, at least enough that I can work from here to get some real upgrades. Think I'm finally figuring this poo poo out and fixing this mess, which means I should be able to post this https://pobb.in/drq9FzJ9RtZR Still on the list: finishing this loving shield craft. Only 26 more -elemental corpses to find  They're going 4/1div on trade so I can't even reasonably afford to buy out the number I need to finish this drat thing. There's no way to focus specific corpses, is there? Didn't seem like it from the wiki, but knowing this game there might be some weird hidden mechanic that makes specific maps/enemies drop them more often.New belt is on the crafting docket after that. Should be easier than the shield at least. Still need to get the right Watcher's Eye, since I foolishly thought the 'damage taken as cold' mod was the thing I wanted and not the other one. Out of my price range ATM, sadly. Bright side I might be survivable enough to make it to 95 finally. Fingers crossed.

Setec_Astronomy posted:Have you tested out whether you actually need that many -elemental corpses? Craftofexile will happily load you up on as many as possible in order to maximize your chance of success, but it has no concept of budget. Dropping more than a couple takes the success rate from 2-3 to 5-6 pretty drat quick. The problem is that +max resist for the individual elements are tagged elemental + resist, while +2 max all resist is *just* resistance, so tanking those hard seems to be necessary to have a solid chance of rolling it, best I can tell. +resistance rolls also tag as elemental and all of that competes for a suffix slot. Trying to craft a shield with +2 max all res, +3 max chaos res.

Setec_Astronomy posted:I see, makes sense. That's a pretty brutal craft! Yeah, it had a couple spots left over at least so I'm throwing in a few fracture chances in there for another possible fail condition at least. Don't really want to do this one again, haha.
