#

other people playing bugged builds also had 0 affect on me

hollow sparrow
#

very cool stats

woeful bolt
#

it drives away players and id like the game to succeed

minor bay
#

but why does it drive away players

#

other than "it feels bad"

fierce hemlock
#

i dont think it really drives away players

#

the people this affects are already super invested

#

they'll be back next cycle

woeful bolt
#

i dont think that's true

hollow sparrow
woeful bolt
#

imagine you're a casual who happened to play a build with bugs in it

hollow sparrow
#

you play new mechanic, it feels bad, you quit

woeful bolt
#

now your character is bad

hollow sparrow
#

very logical

minor bay
#

bugfixing now/nerfing it now makes

  1. other builds more valuable by comparison
  2. doesnt maintain an unhealthy expectation of how the game can/should play
  3. balances out the value of several stats again instead of one being way more valuable than others
woeful bolt
#

that's demotivating

hollow sparrow
#

you invest into character, it gets destroyed, you feel bad, you quit

woeful bolt
#

now imagine it happens two times in a row

#

are you continuining playing

#

probs not if your progress gets invalidated

#

without warning

minor bay
#

whats the precedent for it happening two times in a row?

woeful bolt
#

or like a week warning ig

minor bay
#

you got warned a week in advance

woeful bolt
#

in so far as casuals will have no idea or interest in knowing if something is bugged

minor bay
#

ofc its demotivating and feels bad. but that doesnt invalidate the value of fixing now instead of later

woeful bolt
#

before the devs tell them it is

minor bay
#

you know what else would make a player quit? playing a busted ass broken build that gives them a false sense of how the game is playing, and then playing the same build next patch and realizing "this isnt fun, im gonna quit"

woeful bolt
minor bay
#

players quitting because they dont enjoy your game isnt a bad thing if you want your game to be played a certain way

woeful bolt
#

there's builds that are as strong as ballista without being bugged

#

they're not nerfing them mid cycle

hollow sparrow
minor bay
#

do you wanna cater to people who dont enjoy your game the way you want it to play?

hollow sparrow
#

unpredictability is bad

woeful bolt
#

you're acting like the devs dont give a shit what players think lol

minor bay
woeful bolt
#

when they just put out a survey about it

#

ballista has been in the game for 3 years

minor bay
hollow sparrow
woeful bolt
#

i mean a survey is always going to be biased

minor bay
#

so they do what the majority of the playerbase wanted

woeful bolt
#

but also people dont know what is bugged and what is not

fierce hemlock
#

i mean

woeful bolt
#

people thought fix bugged builds = falconer ward and warlock ward ridiculousness

#

not necessarily what they play, people are short sighted

minor bay
#

those are not bugs though, just busted mechanics

fierce hemlock
#

what do you want them to go off of if they can't trust the survey thats being filled about by 70k of their players

woeful bolt
#

those were bugs

#

they have been fixed

hollow sparrow
#

GGG is predictable because unlike absolute massive bug like in Delirium where they overlooked broken build they don't touch you. you have your fun for 3 months, you know later on it might not survive, but whatever time and energy you have invested is not gonna go to waste

minor bay
#

depends on which one were talking about

woeful bolt
minor bay
#

ye but this isnt GGG, they did a survey filled by large amounts of players, and players said they want this. now theyre doing it. i dont understand

hollow sparrow
#

doing any kind of mid season fixes means you inevitably gonna play another game of waiting for fixes to arrive and hold on to items/currency to work around those fixes

minor bay
#

players didnt give solutions. the devs did, and players picked the one they liked the most.

hollow sparrow
#

and you don't even know most of the time what they are

woeful bolt
#

their original stance was no mid cycle bug fixes to nerf builds Shrug they should have stuck with both their intuition and an industry leader was doing, imo

hollow sparrow
#

I dunno what survey they did, I am just saying why I am in favour of GGG stance

#

in both ways

#

nerfs and buffs

hollow sparrow
#

predictability is important, especially for a low hours crowd

minor bay
#

i just dont get why people are so pissed about this when its literally the dev acting on 1) what the community wanted after being given multiple options, 2) is aiming to improve game enjoyment for the majority, at the cost of the enjoyment of a minority (and not like 60:40, but like 99:1)

hollow sparrow
#

I can "correct" mid league fix with 14 hours a day playtime maybe, a lot of players cannot

minor bay
#

broken builds make people feel bad for not being broken

woeful bolt
minor bay
#

tbf i think LE is a game that is infinitely easier to swap builds in

#

than poe

woeful bolt
#

i mean you cant change mastery

#

not sure i agree completely

hollow sparrow
#

it's still an investment

minor bay
#

please

#

what world do we live in where its easier to swap builds in poe than LE

hollow sparrow
#

you may argue it's lower in terms of hours but it's still an investment

woeful bolt
#

and like lorentz said for low hours people it isnt a question of ease

hollow sparrow
#

even if it's 10 hours, that's a week for someone

minor bay
#

youre not gonna need

fierce hemlock
#

i mean this doesn't even brick the build

minor bay
#

10hrs

#

to swap builds

fierce hemlock
#

so you don't even need to swap off of it

minor bay
#

the build is STILL playable, it still does the same damage

fierce hemlock
#

it doesn't change damage

woeful bolt
#

i agree

minor bay
#

it just doesnt explode 2 screens worth of mobs

#

but half a screen worth

woeful bolt
#

i dont particularly care about ballista specifically, it will be fine

#

it's the principle

hollow sparrow
#

I am not talking about this specific situation Seli

minor bay
#

okay but

hollow sparrow
#

changing build has an innate cost

minor bay
#

the argument started over the specific situation 😄

#

the question is gonna be, how often will they do this

woeful bolt
#

if the build is barely functional, are we still bugfixing to nerf it into unplayableness

minor bay
#

and to what degree/extent

#

if its reserved for insanely gamebreaking stuff

hollow sparrow
#

that's a hard line to please everybody

minor bay
#

this is more than acceptable

#

its impossible to please everybody

hollow sparrow
#

I hope for very little invasive actions

minor bay
#

i think thats the first lesson everybody needs to learn

hollow sparrow
#

but I am just one player

minor bay
#

no matter what change you make, itll negatively affect someone

woeful bolt
#

what lorentz said about predictability is probably the most important part

minor bay
#

i dont really see how predictability has changed though

hollow sparrow
#

obviously

woeful bolt
#

now there's a "is my build just gonna get nerfed randomly when people find out something is bugged"

hollow sparrow
#

because I am smart

woeful bolt
#

because they were not nerfing mid cycle initially

hollow sparrow
#

@queen ember

#

look

woeful bolt
#

that is now changed

minor bay
#

if they give decent warning that something is gonna happen, i think this is a good way to do it without having people run rampant with broken-ass-builds for months

hollow sparrow
#

rare occasion of me not downplaying my qualities

woeful bolt
#

i mean warning is better than nothing

hollow sparrow
#

take a screenshot before I deleted those messages

woeful bolt
#

but personally idk why people care if someone else is playing a broken build

minor bay
#

and a week is decent warning in a game where swapping builds takes 10 minutes when you dont have to swap mastery, and 5 hrs if you have to relevel the same character with a new mastery

fierce hemlock
#

there's leaderboards

#

in this

minor bay
woeful bolt
#

dont personally gaf about arena it's stay awake simulator

minor bay
#

and it makes people not playing the broken build feel bad

fierce hemlock
minor bay
#

remember how people who didnt play MF felt bad in poe this league?

minor bay
woeful bolt
#

i mean sure, they can reroll to that broken build if they care enough to push to the highest levels

#

that's what you require to be competitive

minor bay
#

or, you know, they can expect the devs to bugfix it

woeful bolt
#

again you can make the same argument about overtuned but not bugged builds

minor bay
#

were moving goalposts a lot in this conversation

woeful bolt
#

you're just going to play whackamole all season

minor bay
#

thats kinda how balancing/tuning works, ye

woeful bolt
#

there's always going to be outliers

minor bay
#

but were not talking about overtuned here are we

woeful bolt
#

not in seasonal games lmao

minor bay
#

were talking about bugged interactions

woeful bolt
#

yes and im bringing up overtuned because the same argument can be applied

minor bay
#

theres ZERO precedent for EHG nerfing overtuned builds mid-league so far, so how about we keep it out of the conversation until it actually happened

woeful bolt
#

meaning it's a bad argument unless you also support that stance

minor bay
#

i understand the worry that it MIGHT happen

#

but it hasnt.

woeful bolt
#

dont use it as an argument then

minor bay
#

im not. you are.

woeful bolt
#

or, you know, they can expect the devs to bugfix it

#

re: being forced to reroll

#

which also applies to overtuned builds

#

that is your argument

minor bay
#

interesting. thanks for telling me what im thinking/saying.

woeful bolt
#

you're welcome

minor bay
#

when i say i expect devs to bugfix something, thats what i mean. that i want bugs to be fixed, good or bad ones.

#

that doesnt also mean any other number of things YOU imagien it to mean. i mean what i say.

woeful bolt
#

how are you still not understanding it lmao

minor bay
#

nerfing this build doesnt force anybody to reroll.

#

the build is still very strong. it still onetaps many things.

woeful bolt
#

do you reject the premise that people who push leaderboards will feel inclined to play the strongest build

queen ember
woeful bolt
#

do you reject the premise that an overtuned build can be as strong or stronger than a bugged build

minor bay
#

so yes, i reject that premise, because this isnt poe.

woeful bolt
#

yet ballista falconer isnt topping the arena leaderboards afaik

minor bay
#

and i think itd be beneficial for many people to stop comparing EVERYTHING to poe and instead take games at their own merit and value

#

poe elitists are the worst kind of people to talk to, actually.

woeful bolt
#

it isnt elitist to think a decision GGG has made is a correct one

minor bay
#

but thats besides the point

woeful bolt
#

LE does 100 things better than poe

#

doesn't mean this is one of them

#

if you don't want people comparing games in the same genre with an identical game cycle, idk

#

good luck i suppose

minor bay
#

anyway, im tired of this conversation because goalposts keep being moved and words are being put in my mouth, which is pretty annoying and fruitless.

tl;dr of my stance: bugfixes are good. its unfortunate that oftentimes beneficial bugs are noticed/fixed before the ones that negatively affect players, but thats often because the beneficial bugs make more people flock to those builds so they get more attention, and are easier to notice.

they asked players how to act, and are now following what the community wanted. peepoShrug either you want a dev listening to the community or you dont, its a bit arbitrary to pick and choose where you want the devs to listen and where you dont. imo devs should do what they want, not what the community wants, cause otherwise you end up with what poe has become.

woeful bolt
#

repeating back your argument without denying something you said is not moving goalposts

#

but sure fruitless i agree

Breaking through boss endurance is pretty tough

naive crag
#

yea it is funny hits go from 300k+ to like 100 to 50 at the end

#

what grinds my gears is my guide got rejected twice from lastepochtools man do i suck at formatting etc

#

next cyle i will just comission someone to write it XD

woeful bolt
#

meanwhile some guy has reposted the same build 5 times with like 3 passives changed

naive crag
#

well maybe he does not suck as much as me

#

if it is well written you can post as many as you want

#

might do a phys vers and a bleed one when there is more content

woeful bolt
#

doesn't need to be 3 diff guides tho DIESOFCRINGE

seems to just be life vs ward variant

i would do it too if it's what got clicks

maybe they just hate bladedancers

nope it seems

wait why did no one tell me this relic exists

woeful bolt
#

that's what the DA builds use right?

naive crag
#

yea that shit is crazy i would have 180% extra lightning

before doing the super combo

#

as it takes 4 secs

#

man i need shit that survives more so i can limit test

woeful bolt
#

high corruption shadey boy gets pretty tanky

naive crag

idk how high i need to go he still dissapears in 500

#

and i cba farming for more

#

maybe it is a wait for next cycle angle

#

haha talk about the ghost and he appears

#

he also gives great surv tips

woeful bolt
#

honestly very surprised necro is second

#

guess all those minion enjoyers hopped from d4 real quick

hollow sparrow
#

When I played blindly I felt like minions are very easy to build around

#

You clearly see fire/cold conversions and how you can turn you minions into one school

#

Also its just comfy when damage comes from not you, hard to fuck up

hollow shadow
#

Theres a lot of minion-based affixes

#

It was one of my main issues with loot in the game, almost everything has some shitty minion modifier that ruins items

marble turret
#

I think it was the factor that you were giving it commands and it wasn’t just a summon you spawned and it went and just attacked stuff

sick stratus
#

but he's legit so different from the other bosses

woeful bolt
#

yeah the telegraph being on the boss vs the ground probably fucks everyone first time

primal plank
#

until very high corruption

woeful bolt
#

yeah 2nd being emperor of corpses checks out since its aoe is the other thing

hollow sparrow
#

and when you spam them it's almost like you are actively commanding him to do certain actions, gameplay is not walking around while your skeletons shoot everything from afar but telling your birdie what to do

#

maybe hunterss in poe could be something like that

#

I think if anything is that should be her

marble turret
#

Ye

proven ridge
#

any info on the new cycle coming up?

naive crag
#

hope they announce a when

proven ridge
#

id imagine they are letting the poe new season hype fall off a bit

#

or that in my opinion would be the wisest move

naive crag
#

just 1 month after the PoE league begins should be good

or at least 1 month before this one ends

no clue tho

hopefully they rework corruption a bit tho

is the OG post

and actually make ward not the default for everyone

Skin transfer to what

regular armor skins

if you wanna transfer smth like yriels to your chest

it costs money

yriels fostering or garb of the ephemeral are some of the ones people sometimes skin trasnfer

Bro trying to cook

naive crag
#

would be undercooked if ti released early who knows

hollow sparrow
#

not even a cooked take, LE devs said themselves they try to release their content inbetween poe leagues. I believe they pushed 1.0 later because PoE pushed its league later

proven ridge
#

Did the poe league flop tho?

#

Maybe le didnt expect it to flop

marble turret
#

No this league was pretty good

#

It had a bumpy start tho for sure

#

But still ended up one of the goat leagues

naive crag
#

it had "bad" retention

#

but i kinda enjoyed it

full zephyr
#

standard 7/10 league tbh, not insane but not terrible

naive crag
#

yea thankfully we are scarred forever with kalandra

#

to not be as harsh on mid leagues

hollow sparrow
#

@minor bay have you seen their boss DR replacement?

minor bay
#

nope

minor bay
#

ah neat

#

yeah the adaptive DR kinda sucked

hollow sparrow
#

my fear is that you kinda incentivized by that "speeds up with time" to not play the game

#

why hit boss first seconds after getting ward if it's so tough anyway

minor bay
#

well

#

you still deplete the bar faster

#

think they just need to do some showcases of like

#

same character with old vs new system

hollow sparrow
#

they gonna nerf falconer

#

what do we play then, it was such a nice monolith blaster

there is also a rundown of 1.1 in the blog but dont think we need that one but if anyone wants to read it https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/harbingers-of-ruin-whats-new/71684

i do like they take the good shit from PoE

hollow sparrow
#

we play rogue, right?

#

even with nerfed shadow daggers

#

not sure why they wanna release their cycles on Tuesday tho

#

apart from having devs ready for fixes

naive crag

i will play lethal mirage as always

midweek releases better for no server rippers

naive crag
#

hey second time for sure trust

hollow sparrow
#

Wonder what they use for backend

#

C++?

#

Did new languages like go, kotlin, rust get into gaming at all?

naive crag
#

no idea tbh but we now know that the launch problem was because of some bad lines of code

#

so in theory they had good capacity

queen ember
barren pollen
#

And for sure less players than on launch

queen ember
#

Will likely just copy whatever @gleaming jacinth is playing because he’s my bff and I love him

Tell the monitor to stop using so much electricity

hollow sparrow
#

I am trying to fix my monitors

You might have to settle for a smaller monitor sadly

and in this one I can hear "electricity"

#

maybe I am just ....

you know

#

Beautiful?

queen ember
#

Smart?

hollow sparrow
#

the first one was not doing that

queen ember
hollow sparrow
#

I don't think it's really a coil whine on that, because other people can't hear it

#

like I "heard" tv in the office today

queen ember
#

Maybe you’re Superman and have super hearing?

hollow sparrow
#

I was sitting next to it during a meeting and noticed me hearing it

#

and others looked at me like I am an alien

#

I suppose in a sense I am

queen ember
queen ember
hollow sparrow
#

if I am playing who will you copy then?

#

make your choice

queen ember
#

My security camera dvr had the “electricity” noise and I was the only person who could hear it

hollow sparrow
#

so I am now thinking if I wanna gamble with another monitor or just settle on this one

queen ember
#

Tbh your best bet is noise cancelling headphones and make sure you have music/sound playing

hollow sparrow
#

I am surely using IEMs because I don't wanna accidentally bend my glasses with over the ear headphones

woeful bolt

Blind no longer causes enemies to aim erratically. It now makes enemies unable to critically strike (from halving critical strike chance)

#

new items are already on LEtools

#

if anyone wants to theorycraft also the direct link to the notes https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-harbingers-of-ruin-patch-notes/71790

#

also new lethal mirage weapon is HOT problem is no immunity

#

might run 2 shards or other things to clear and the 2 hand for bosses

#

also finally a helmet i can use

queen ember
#

definitely

hollow sparrow
#

sadly no, apos don't exist in LE yet

hollow sparrow
naive crag
#

damn people are angsty to make guides when some items we dont even know how they work

#

maybe i also make one before it releases to get the FOMO people in

hollow sparrow
#

@naive crag have you seen lethal mirage sword?

#

I was trying to cook either that or dancing strike procing shadow cascade thing

naive crag
#

yea

fossil bison
#

The fact that they fixed the traits to work when youve converted it to lightning is huge

naive crag
#

you cant use dancing or shadow cascade

#

those need dw

#

you need to use puncture or flurry

#

the bug was only if you used the daggers thankfully

#

i want to see how the sword works tbh

#

wording is a bit weird

hollow sparrow
#

oh you mean with the new unique?

naive crag
#

correct

#

those need dw

#

sadly

hollow sparrow
#

yeah I meant two different disitinct builds

  • lethal mirage with new blade
  • dancing procing shadow cascade
naive crag
#

ah dancing proccing cascade will be crazy

hollow sparrow
#

with 2 points you always proc it on the first strike

#

and dancing can also proc shuriken for defences afaik

#

or more damage

#

but I dunno if it's shadow daggers angle or not

naive crag
#

well yes likely

#

dancing in itself buffs your overall dmg a huge deal

#

so you can synth strike

#

then dance

#

and everything would play itself with that build

hollow sparrow
#

I didn't spend much really to get the idea deep enough

#

maybe there are some idols helping it?

#

haven't looked into LE for a while

naive crag
#

well shadow daggers you can just go all in for pen and crit mult

#

as they always crit

#

they did nerf eye of reen quite a bit

hollow sparrow
#

yeah I don't think shadow daggers is the play when dancing doesn't really scales with aspeed afaik

#

you'd want something fast to do daggers, maybe just flat out crit scaling

faint plume
#

there are no bladedancer builds on lastepochtools for 1.1
what do I do dead

#

oh wait hacha has a build already HOLY

naive crag
#

i have mine but it has not been crawled for some reason

hollow sparrow
#

@naive crag what do I start

#

too many options

naive crag
#

no idea tbh LE is way easier to leaguestart with

#

i will level with syncro and shadow cascade

#

flurry/punture first

hollow sparrow
#

shadow daggers, torment warlock, poison drood

#

also why is my client 1.08

naive crag
#

same

#

oh no they might drop the dl at the same time as the update?

#

LE 52 oh nooo

hollow sparrow
#

yeah but my client is 1.0.8

#

there has to be client patch first

naive crag
#

fuq

#

so dl servers will also get krangled

hollow sparrow
#

I play via steam, it's their servers not EHG

naive crag
#

servers are online but not in the new vers

#

can even create char but it says 1.0

#

reset steam

#

dl is up

hollow sparrow
#

yeah well

young tusk
queen ember
hollow sparrow
#

@gleaming jacinth do I spec balddancer or falconer?

barren pollen
#

Out of those 2, Falconer

hollow sparrow
#

but overall you wouldn't play any? kekEX

#

I just like rogue in LE, zoom

barren pollen
#

I wouldn't play either yeah, gotta try other stuff as well

#

But Falcon definitely beats BD especially if you wanna zoom

gleaming jacinth
hollow sparrow
#

I played falc last patch

#

very comfy

#

that's why I picked it as start

#

I played bladedancer prior to that as well

gleaming jacinth
#

then bladedancer

#

really comfy

#

but i think if u wna put proper time into a build

#

id probably do sorc start

wooden turtle
#

ima try warlock

barren pollen
#

I'm doing Sorc myself, already tried Rogue and Warlock

gleaming jacinth
#

glacier sorc looks kinda sick

#

but u need so much gear

hollow sparrow
#

I wanna try raptor pack but it requires rare unique, and I don't know what to do with beastmaster prior to that

barren pollen
#

Yepp just choosing Sorc because there's so many good builds for it so it'll be chill to transition and try stuff out

hollow sparrow
#

league mechanic is nice

#

gamba every zone

gleaming jacinth
#

well since i got 2 pebbles pieces already

#

i guess i gotta play bird guy

hollow sparrow
#

pebbles?

#

does bleed scale from inc phys damage?

#

I expect it to

hollow sparrow
#

I am sorry what?

queen ember
#

that's a lot of physical penetration

#

almost as much physical penetration as I give @barren pollen

naive crag

ez

gleaming jacinth

cant believe bosses have even lower hp now

RUNE OF CREATION POG

woeful bolt

Anyone got to monoliths and endgame stuff?

Is there more content

Also did story change in seasons for the purpose of "faster leveling"?

Grind faster

#

Why am i even paying you for

hollow sparrow
#

why my items cost 5 gold to vendor

I think their fix for gold scaling affected campaign as well

RUNE OF ASCENDANCE HIT

Ok first mods are shit

hollow sparrow

yea yesterday

primal plank
#

no idea what I'm playing

hollow sparrow
#

mana stacking is hot

errant hatch
hollow sparrow
#

falconer is just too fun man

barren pollen
#

It's crazy that I chose Sorcerer before reading about it whatsoever and it turns out to be the most popular class

#

Not surprised the Primalist specs are not played whatsoever

queen ember
#

wasn't warlock supposed to be nuts

#

or am I misremembering

barren pollen
#

I honestly haven't been following the game's patch notes or anything whatsoever

hollow sparrow
#

warlock was nerfed quite heavily

#

especially tankinness from ghostflame

hollow sparrow
barren pollen
#

What's that?

hollow sparrow
#

many raptors

hollow sparrow
#

@naive crag did you get the blade for your build?

hollow sparrow
#

mana stackers use enigma and one hander?

#

could any of them be interested in this?

barren pollen
#

Possibly, but they prefer the Crystal Wand base pretty heavily

hollow sparrow

got a wrong warp and it funded me to buy everything for my necro

Some guy also scammed himself

marinas for 20k

Normally 400k~

errant hatch

this is kinda nice ya

subtle jolt

Not ward gain 😠

naive crag

there was only 1 when i went to sleep

subtle jolt
#

Why is necro

#

so busted

hollow sparrow
#

I need way better gear

errant hatch
#

how rare is transient rest jesus

#

so many boot prophcies

hollow sparrow
#

@naive crag did you see aerial assault boots yet?

naive crag
#

nope

#

havent logged in yet im doing some dailies somewhere and looking at things

#

they seem cool

hollow sparrow
#

I am farming boots timeline now, but they seem to be pretty rare 😦

naive crag
#

funnily enough i got 3 mourningfrost boots on my harbinger thingy

#

also tried to egg a smokeweaver i found and it got krangled with int

#

and cast speed

hollow sparrow
#

frosts is the only thing that sold for me so far

#

I have 6 or 7 items right now and none is buying (

#

honestly bazaar with so many merchants is pretty inconvenient

#

and search is too limited

#

holy shit that timeline is so anti melee it's insane

#

:/

errant hatch
#

i see sorcs using this

#

is it literally just for the base crit and % mana lmao

#

what do those minion abilities do

hollow sparrow
#

just for base crit

#

I don't think there is any other ring having base crit so just that is giga alreayd

errant hatch
#

so its that or the julra ring

barren pollen
#

Jesus that's a lot of resistance

subtle jolt
#

I have my friend a chest with t7 + to glacier and mana

idk how i feel rn

#

I COULD have made so much money

crafting on them then duping and selling

gleaming jacinth

merchants guild noNoNoNo

cof is life

subtle jolt

Cof for solo

#

I'm not farming for red rings for my group character

#

Got me fucked up

gleaming jacinth
#

ok fair enough

errant hatch
naive crag
#

OK THIS SWORD IS OP WTF

#

it works with itself

#

i though i would need to use some other abilities

hollow sparrow
#

@naive crag nothing sells

naive crag
#

yea need to go and craft mana stacker things and falconer etc

#

sadly im clueless about idols but those also sell big

#

anything with crit multi kinda

hollow sparrow
naive crag
#

yea but money works everywherre

#

that is how i got my items

hollow sparrow
#

oh you mean craft for sale

primal plank
#

I just misclicked banish on a nemesis with good items Deadge

naive crag

fuq

worldly basalt
#

any le kings know if tooltip dps is accurate in this game, also if there is an easier way of checking shadow dagger tooltip damage than going into a skill tree and holding alt over the node that applies it?

subtle jolt
#

warlock immune is bugged and sometimes you just get fucked

#

its super cool mang

hollow sparrow
#

beastmaster levelling is pure torture

barren pollen
#

levelling is pure torture*

errant hatch
#

i love putting an item in the egg and then hitting challenge instead of empower

subtle jolt
#

Skill issue

errant hatch
naive crag
#

niice

errant hatch
#

what does this ring get used on

#

void knight?

naive crag
#

a lot of melee

#

it pairs with a belt

#

20% more dmg

hollow sparrow
#

It’s used even without the belt, tons of leech and dot stacks themselves place increased melee damage taken I believe

naive crag
#

16 more even without belt really good

subtle jolt
#

trying to decide what rog build to go

#

send helpo

#

super iffy on zfalcon

Then theres divebomb and uh
bladedancer

#

I'm not a fan of actual pet builds so

#

I probably go shadow dagger or dive

hollow sparrow
#

I did shadow daggers as previous season, to me it felt too squish personally

subtle jolt
#

Zfalcon is full Glass so

#

I'm prob low life shadow

hollow sparrow
#

It’s not really full glass but glancing isn’t 100% outside of either smoke bomb or not being hit recently, falconer with cradle was better imo

#

But it isn’t giga tank class realistically

primal plank
#

ngl I feel like torment warlock is gonna take my pc out back

subtle jolt
#

game wants me to play z

hollow sparrow
#

do I continue lazer lich or raptor pack

#

@gleaming jacinth need advice

#

now i got the ring..

#

@errant hatch you are a mana stacker, how much would that be

naive crag
#

the shred mod itself is worth a bit but nothing super crazy good thing is that it still has fp

#

only sad thing is bad base but can still use it for smashes

#

like 100k to 200k ez if you dont want to try and get better rolls

errant hatch
#

i have no idea how economy goes in this game

#

i click ssf

queen ember
#

what do you even do with gold in le

#

gamba?

#

buy other items?

hollow sparrow
#

you mean in SSF?

naive crag
#

buy items if merchant guild yes

#

if oracle you go to arbor or use it to roll prophecy

queen ember
#

@hollow sparrow @gleaming jacinth what do I play

hollow sparrow
#

uhm, what do you want? tonk? speed?

queen ember
#

speeeeeeeeeeeed

hollow sparrow
#

then I think falconer

queen ember
#

I don't think I'd like falconer

#

the idea of my pet doing all my damage is kinda meh

hollow sparrow
#

you press a button every second or even lower that deals damage and you jump through the entire screen

#

pet isn't doing any damage

#

if you play shadow daggers you jump around and spawn spinners that apply shadow daggers(stacking debuff) that procs at 4 stacks I think and deal doomage that always crits

#

so you stack multi and just destroy

queen ember
#

is marksman still doo doo

gleaming jacinth
#

marksman never has been doo doo

queen ember
#

bow mage was kinda meh

gleaming jacinth
#

did u play explo trap icicle

queen ember
#

ye

gleaming jacinth
#

idk i had no real issues with it but i also didnt push really high

#

but if u dont wanna play that then probably pivot off marksman

hollow sparrow
#

and blast rain

#

maybe

#

I've seen people not suggesting marksman because it got only nerfs to those couple builds it had

queen ember
#

maybe I just take apart my PC right now

barren pollen
queen ember
#

and just get it over with

barren pollen
#

I'm playing Static Orb Sorc and Torment Warlock

#

Both are fun, but the Sorc outclasses Warlock (and everything else) by soooooo much

queen ember
#

I don't particularly care for casters in arpgs sadly

#

I'm just a bow bitch

#

and marks is kinda caca

barren pollen
#

I personally hate casters in mmorpg's because of channel skills

#

but these boys ain't got none so we chilling

queen ember
#

ok

#

wish me luck guys

#

time to take apart PC

#

deep clean

#

move into new case

and it still isn't here

hollow sparrow
#

what's something useful I can find on suffixes apart from hp and res? trying to see if I can benefit from changing one pref that would open up like 4 suffixes total for me

hollow sparrow
#

@gleaming jacinth obviously, when I switched from Falc

barren pollen
#

Are those new boots?

hollow sparrow
#

yes, this patch new

barren pollen
#

Makes sense, they look pretty insane

hollow sparrow
#

they just feed into the existing things

barren pollen
#

Would have been great on the Falconer last patch

primal plank
#

or are there good builds without that

barren pollen
#

Currently not playing meteor

#

You play Static Orb and oneshot literally everything in the game

#

And you use Glacier to get your ward up and maintain mana

#

So you run around spamming Glacier everywhere to keep your Ward/Mana up, and then you onetap rares with a Static Orb

primal plank
#

I'm playing torment rn but maybe I'll play a 2nd char down the line

barren pollen
#

Yeah, I'm playing Torment as a second character and it's okay

#

but the Sorc is just ridiculous

#

Just requires a bit of investment to get it going

#

Gotta get to like 1000+ mana

night sequoia
#

le good

hollow sparrow
#

what timeline to focus on

barren pollen
#

Whichever you need gear from

#

Or whichever you need a better blessing from

naive crag
#

Reminder to complete the herbingers best thing to do is get one timeline to around 400

#

and get lots of needles and envy scrolls

#

then you can go and go do other timelines for the quests and you go until you find orobyss envy yourself to the boss stability if not already there get the 4 gazes kill boss then orobyss then envy again for boss+harbinger

#

now it is too late for me but everyone should try that it is way faster

subtle jolt
#

debating whether to go low life or not

#

mm

#

I might actually swap to falcon and try that shadow dagger variant

hollow sparrow
#

Monos are just boring to me, sadge

#

Game is nice but endgame loop is just killing my interest sadly

naive crag
#

only problem i have with monos is there is no extra things but im just treating this just as a vanilla PoE while they add more shit

#

remember first league on HC was onslaugh league with the great mechanic of:

#

mobs are 20% faster

#

nemesis are kinda like rogue exiles?

#

and we even get some cool midbosses and a pinnacle one this will keep me here until new PoE league that seems lit

errant hatch
#

ok 400 corruption kinda has hands

#

well certain mobs have hands

naive crag
#

dots are wild yea

hollow sparrow
#

Also rares are kinda boring, my upgrades are simple same stats but more

naive crag
#

does not take much to keep me entertained it helps im doing content with it too

#

thinking HOW CAN I MAKE THIS BETTER

#

monos are just a vehicle to get money or whatever

#

same as grinding in games like maplestory

#

in PoE currency and items etc do feel diff

errant hatch
errant hatch
subtle jolt
#

i think i got one of those and it wasnt expesnive or rare

#

idr

#

big sad

#

Should I go dive bomb or shadow dagger

#

someone help
I cant decide anytihng for shit

hollow sparrow
#

wtf, razorfall sold

why does my LE always take forever to launch?
