Chaos trapper still viable? Last time I played, the conversion thingy got nerfed so it only converted to 60% or something but was still pretty good for maps. If it sucks, what's a pretty decent map/lab runner for someone with zero cash.

Thinking about coming back for the new season. Can anyone recommend a good starting season build that can go the distance? Ideally one that isn't likely to take a massive nerf or relies on 100's of exalted orbs to buy a piece of armour to make it work. Is chaos trapper still a thing or did it get even more of a nerf? That build was a lot of fun. Much appreciated.

Anyone recommend an Atlas/Shaping guide? So many out there that worried I might pick a bad guide. Something about stopping at tier 9 or 10 and shaping good layout maps or something?

So I haven't played since 2.2 but I was thinking yesterday, how am I so loving poor? Then a goon earlier posted about forming a team to farm unid rares for chaos. I'd completely forgotten about that and had been dumping my rares randomly at vendors or on the floor instead of making a suit of it for chaos. Go me....

I’ll pay a chaos for a goon to write up a map shaping guide. I watched some YouTube guides (all 20+ mins long wtf) and they just over explain it and confuse you even more.

nerox posted:Does the "Gain 10% of elemental damage as extra chaos damage" effect spell damage? Purity of Flesh is well worth getting. Deep Thoughts and Herbalism are pretty good too. Could always put a shield in your off hand to help with the damage increase.

ThePineapple posted:I'm still fairly new to this game and I just hit endgame (I think) on my first character. I'm level 68 and have started doing tier 1-3 maps. The bolder items generally will have something sort after such as a better implicit like spell damage shields or spell penetration maces. Or they have higher base ES/Armour/Invasion than other items. I would buy a 1 quad tab, 1 premium tab, a bunch of standard tabs and all the specific tabs i.e. Maps. You don't need to do this but it makes life easier and quite honestly, GGG deserve the money. The quad tab is great as you can dump poo poo in it from a map and continue mapping and at some point, go through it rather than doing it after every map or two. As for making money, this is going to come from hours (lots) spent playing and I'm sure other goons will way in. Use your offhand to level up arc, BV, Enhance, Empower and/or enlighten gems. These are good sellers if you use a vaal orb on them and they get a +1. I would only vaal Arc and BV this league though and only if you have a lot of them kicking around. Otherwise, use them in a lvl 3 gemcutter's room in the temple. Basically, if you have 6 level 20 arcs, I would vaal orb 3-4 of them max and save them for temple. Blue jewels with Life/ES/Mana and 1 damage suffix are worth regaling. Jewels with two stacking damage suffixes such as +x damage with 1h swords and +x physical damage are also worth a regal. Boots/Helms/Gloves with 3 decently high resists and high Life/ES roll are worth something. Boots need a movement speed on them to be worth a lot. Jewelry well there are a lot of combinations that can make money but basically a high life roll with 2-3 resists on can get a bit of chaos. The price ramps up depending on other stuff like spell damage, added phys etc. Wands/maces with stacking damage mods on that go over 150% ish can be worth some if they have other stuff like crit multi or some socketed gems are supported by level X (that doesn't suck). Keep an eye out in the temple, esp the end boss. Some loving obscene mods can be rolled on there. Same with a level 3 restoration pool. That can drop some 100+ life armour which also has % to max life from a chest in there. Spiral foils and 1handers will show up on filters soon for you. I don't know what makes those good so I can't help you with that. I've just skipped looting them but I'm sure I've prob left some 1 exalt 1hander in a map. Level 3 treasure chamber i.e. vault room. Always always max that if you get the option. I also find getting level 3 in the workshop has a very noticeable difference in how much yield the vault has but I wouldn't take it over the expense of a corruption chamber for example. Getting shaper items of a high ilvl. Some need 84 for certain stuff but spamming alts on them and going for a good mod and auging/regaling could net you some cash but it's crafting and it's a gamble. Prob a tonne of other stuff people could add. Tai fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jun 30, 2018 |

By the time I'm no longer able to instagib entire screens of dudes I'll probably be ready to make the switch to real gear anyway so it'll be like a fresh start. Arc will insta gib red maps just fine with a Brightbeak. It will gib most bosses too. Just have an offhand damage switch for harder bosses.

The incursion loot system is sweet. Pick and choose what you want to pick up at the end. Would be awesome to have that for maps. How you'd do it I have no idea. Maybe a pop up window while map portal(s) are open you can toggle and drag loot from that you want.

Any recommendations on a build with high clear speed and Uber elder viable for flashback? Ideally one that is unlikely to be nerfed or receive minimal nerfs as I’ll probably roll it for the next league if it goes well.

ThePineapple posted:What is everyone's preferred filter for endgame / mapping? I'm using the default neversink filter and am at the point where there's getting to be a ton of clutter everywhere. Is there a go-to stricter filter for endgame? I use the strict filter on never sinks. As for chaos/regal recipe, yea I do it but I purchased a quad tab specifically for it as it got too much of a time sink using multiple tabs to sort it rather than mapping. I've found that I slam far more regals into good rares i.e jewels than before I had a quad tab and it has paid off many times over by not doing the recipe and do more maps but everyone has their own prefered method. Will I do it as much next league? I dunno tbh. Incursions has made life 100 times easier with the big pile of loot.

Designed my own Phase Acro/MoM/Tri Hearld BV level 90 guy. https://pastebin.com/3ndbzwwz Thinking I might drop MoM and/or Mind Drinker (attack damage leeched as mana). The mana leech will save me having to shell out warlords mark on hit ring. Anyone care to import to poebuild and critique? Only one jewel slot atm but that can be easily sorted if needed. As I said above, I might drop MoM for either more damage, increased skill duration or purity of flesh (more life and chaos resist). This is just a skill build, no items, links etc. General leveling path is rush phase acro then constitution. Tai fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Jul 31, 2018 |

It helps but phase acro really helps. It isn’t usually picked up but it really is nice this league. CI helps even more. It’s fairly easy to get positive chaos resist to eleminate bonus damage, it doesn’t need maxing out. Aztiris promise flask gives a nice chaos resist hit.

codo27 posted:I tried the game once or twice but didn't like the viewing angle, and the slow pace. But my old best friend I haven't seen in 10 years just came home and we were talking about D2 and how bad 3 was and he was telling me how he has been playing this and all about it, and the cards and maps and poo poo. Just reading the OP. I think he was wise in telling me not to play it unless I want to burn a lot of time, of which I have precious little of right now. Ehh kinda disagree tbh. This game is fine to fire up a couple hours of the week. 10 acts for a new player with little time will give you plenty of content. If you start mapping, then even more content is given to you.

Light radius likely to be a thing in delve? Wondering whether to grab nodes that are very close by that have light radius just as Light of Divinity. Not saying that I'll go far out my way for them but curious if they are 1-3 away, would it be worth it.

I didn’t think arc was OP really. It was just traps that made it so. I’m hoping traps haven’t gone back to dumpster tier again as I quite like the play style. The throw speed nerf worries me a bit. I’m hoping it’s not a stupid nerf to 1 second throw speeds. E - also the incursion mods from the end boss made arc traps pretty good too without having to use shimmerons.
