Inzombiac posted:After being underwhelmed by Diablo 3, I'm trying to decide between picking this up again (got a minion master Witch ascended) or Marvel Heroes: Omega. This is the better game by a million miles if you can learn to understand how and why builds work, or at least be willing to slavishly copy other people's work from the forums that and you have to learn to deal with poe.trade, I'm guessing they're not changing trades or the economy in any real way in the expansion so yeah that'll be fun

cinci zoo sniper posted:Play SSF? I guess? I more just wish there were a better way than whispering endlessly until someone responds. Automated markets or something. Can a character be withdrawn from SSF at any time and stay in the temp league, or is it like HC where withdrawal takes you back to Standard?

How does an SSF... call it career, I guess... typically play out, anyway? Obviously there's a lot of randomness in what loot you get, but what do you start keeping, how do you spend your currency, what sort of builds do you pursue?

For me it was usually by about level 70-75 depending on how well I was doing at endgame. Dunno how far I'd get nowadays. Still planning to come back and start playing again but I'm presently addicted to FFXIV, gotta wean myself off that first

Do all your SSF characters share a stash, or only have their own to access? If they share, can the stash as a whole be withdrawn to non-SSF? Someone suggested to me I might like self-enforced SSF up to 60/65 as a balance between desire for working builds and desire not to deal with poe.trade, and I don't know why he said self-enforced.

Pollyzoid posted:Inquisitor looks good to me (HC-wise at least), skipping the crit stuff. Consecrated ground is a good damage and regen buff, and can be triggered at will with sulfur flask. Was SR changed at all in 3.0? This video is one of the builds I never quite got around to last time I played. Speaking of 3.0, is there a good cliff notes of what changed in the expansion besides the full patch notes? Beyond the obvious extra acts and difficulty changes, I mean. I'm especially curious about what they did about ES, poison and ignite basically ruling the roost. (e) terrified of my bathroom posted:Yes to both. Addon to that then, can a character be withdrawn WITHOUT taking the stash along, or does it have to go?

terrified of my bathroom posted:There's an option for both. You can either withdraw a specific character, or you can withdraw all characters, stash, atlas progression, etc. You can't withdraw non-character specific stuff like the stash without withdrawing all your characters, though That's cool, I didn't expect it to be quite so fine-grained as all that, just wanted to make sure I understood. Thanks!

I can't figure out what to pick up, what to stash and what to throw away in SSF, at least as of level 20 or so. Maybe I should just migrate back to normal Harbinger and put up with ol' poe.trade.

I mean I have a filter but even then I'd skip picking up most rares unless it was a best tier for the level or something, maybe, possibly. Just thinking I might need to play the pickup/ID game more if I'm gonna stay in SSF? Maybe?

Benson Cunningham posted:Tabula is awesome, just be careful because you are losing a lot of defense on it. In exchange, you get a 6l and the damage that comes with it. It's generally considered the best leveling item in the game. Side note to newbies: when someone tells you to Vaal something, don't actually do it. The odds of bricking the item completely are pretty high, and most positive effects aren't worth it. Unless you're memein' and fully aware of it in which case hell yeah vaal those Skyforths

Vasudus posted:Act 6 is basically a gentle reminder that resistances exist. You should obviously get capped if you can manage it, but after around 35-40% it starts being noticeable really. That's about when I tend to notice attacks go from "HOLY gently caress" to "OW OW OW OW". I squeeeeaked through A6 and just reached A7 on my own SR inquisitor (great minds  ) on a total of 3% cold resist. It was, indeed, an adventure.Stupid Brine King.

I give zero fucks about any map mod and poo poo out damage with horrendous gear. So Charged Dash turned out good, then? I was interested in that one.

My SR MoM Inquisitor (CiaphasKamehameha) is coming up on 65 tonight. Will I be able to probably start using Righteous Fire as soon as I get Rise of the Phoenix and slot a Purity of Fire? All my gear is just random crappo I've found but I'm at about 3.2k life in the middle of A9. So far so good.

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. Still rather squish at 3.6k HP, though, and I only have enough mana regen to sustain RF/MoM because of Atziri's Foible in my amulet slot (ed: and of course as I get more life on gear that's only going to get worse as RF's damage increases). Any suggestions to correct that? It and Rise of the Phoenix are the only uniques I'm using, IIRC. I'd post my profile but poe's site is blocked at work, as is the wiki  . Think I posted a URL earlier though.

Eminai posted: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. I believe I have those sets of nodes, yeah, and I am running Clarity. Don't think any of my gear besides the Atziri's Foible has mana regen on it though, so I'll look into that. Without Atziri's Foible, and while running Purity of Fire and Clarity and the anti-dot Pantheon (Arakkala?), I'm just barely negative on mana regen.

vOv posted:I do this with columns instead of rows but I'm considering just tossing them all in a quad because I'm considering buying a second quad (I already have one) just for this purpose thanks to these posts (and Awesome!'s reminder about tier: searching) I'm gonna try using the quad I already have for loot dumping/sorting, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that idea--sifting through items into what's sellable and what isn't feels like such a chore, especially when half my pickups are things like 6Ses or chromatics to immediately vendor anyway

Anyone have any good advice for how to most profitably run uber lab with the changes? It used to be just navigate through the shortest possible route for 3 keys straight from Izaro, but now I'm not sure.

Phobophilia posted:I spent most of yesterday doing an average of 6 keys/uber run, it was pretty fun. You have 3 from Izaro, 1 from Argus, and 2 from puzzles. Puzzles with a "curious lockbox" at the end reward a key, those with a "labyrinth trove" have a weaker version of the final treasure room's boxes. Same with Silver doors, which give "emperor's vaults". Thanks for the advice! One thing that's not quite clear, can Curious Lockboxes (treasure keys) be the end reward of silver doors or are those always Emperor's Vaults? Also, are there always exactly two puzzle keys, or can there be more/less (say from a lack of Argus, or bad luck)?

My SR RF MoM Inquisitor, CiaphasKamehameha, is able to do T14s no sweat and T15s with a bit of luck and probably some deaths. I'd like to be able to try my hand at Guardians and Shaper. Are there any notable improvements left to be made here that would help me cross that wall, or am I getting near the point where the build reliability peters out? I'm rather poor at this point unfortunately, yesterday was not good for loot considering how much I spent on chisels, alchs, scours and the odd Vaal.

Hauki posted:I mean, it's a ring with 112% resist, 70 life and a 40%+ damage modifier. It's real fuckin' hard to top that. I can absolutely guarantee you that if I were in the middle of a sorting spree my eye would have seen the implicit and the 4-8 cold damage and thought "meh". Wouldn't have even seen the bottom few lines, or known that that IED affix was so powerful even if I had.

I'm thinking of shelving my SR RF MoM Inquisitor and making a... RF Berserker. It seems like devoting solely to RF and getting the berserker ascendancies and being able to wear a Kaom's Heart would allow a 'zerker to push harder content. My SR RF MoM Inquis can clear Guardians with effort and map mod curation; would the 'zerker be any better at the job? (ed) obviously I'd still have SR on the 'zerker for the fire resist debuff, it just wouldn't be 5/6-linked. Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Aug 15, 2017 |

I just looked up the price of Kaom's Heart and uh  I guess I can't afford that yet after all!!!Pursuant to my post above, does Berserker RF still work without Kaom's? For that matter, what about Juggernaut or Chieftain?

NPR Journalizard posted:Use an ambus till you have enough for a kaoms. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm 55 now, been using RF exclusively since 31, and my god this has been the easiest leveling experience I've ever had in this game. Well up there in overall speed, too. Berserker RF might just be my new go to league starter.

Are there any generalizations that can be made about the sorts of builds that can reliably do Guardians/Shaper, but aren't also stupidly expensive just to get started? Like... 2H builds, wand builds, spell builds, crit builds, ailment builds, etc.?

If I want to 2H melee something, but don't want to take Vaal Pact, do I want to be a Slayer or can I still reasonably be a Berserker? We talked about this in discord for a while last night but I was sleepy and lost a lot of the detail. I gathered Berserker still outdamages Slayer as a rule, even accounting for the super-culling Slayer gets?

Is there any difference in overall use case between sunder, earthquake and cyclone (and whatever other melee abilities)? Like you use one for bosses, one for map clear, one for memeing, or does it come down to aesthetic?

Benson Cunningham posted:If you're playing hardcore, go sunder 100%. It makes getting to maps easy and you can get some currency to work to your real build without dying. My Sunder character lasted until I Zana'd a 160% damage map and walked through a doorway without Immortal Call (I'm an idiot). So Sunder is relatively safe due to being somewhat ranged, I guess? Good to know. In an ideal universe this character'd be able to scale up to doing Guardians (like always, for me--it's a lofty goal for me to reach for, given my altitis, I know), does that influence what skill you go with? (e: for that matter does that influence Berserker vs Slayer, I'm still undecided on that) MMF Freeway posted:Cyclone is the most fun An important factor to be sure
