#

If you think about it logically, is path of exile a trails of game? 追放の軌跡

#

Weirder crossovers have happened!

gusty light
#

lvl 18 staff

gusty light
#

PoE 2 will have DLSS support (no frame gen)

gusty light
gusty light
#

i feel like doing a last run of PoE 1

#

as the, roughly, same build as i'm gonna play in 2

#

well the ascendancy is not there so

#

Jugg, Slam, Stuns

gusty light
#

ok

#

5 minutes left until the preload drops which means there's gonna be a lot of spoilers flying around

#

both gameplay and story wise

#

the precursor boss might get leaked

#

so watch out for spoilers

#

i won't be posting any new information here

ebon linden
#

should I get the EA

#

wait

#

does any of you have an invite

#

Wait there's no invite that's the bazaar

#

Should I get the EA

raven nexus
#

idk what kind of games you play

#

but it seems like it's going to be fun if you like poe/diablo/soulslikes

#

it looks like it feels like mostly poe but with some diablo 2 aesthetic and a bit more diabloy in gear (runes) and skills (no longer on gear, though not on a tree) and it has higher difficulty but more fluid combat like a soulslike

I heard that steam queue is gonna restart

gusty light
#

there was no steam queue

#

because steam ppl still can't login

#

so my guess is the queue in general will go down

gusty light
#

GGG explain

#

launcher unpacking on steam rn

neat shadow
#

well, the servers are dead

#

🔥

gusty light
#

because they're updating the server side

23K AHEAD

gusty light
#

QUEUE MOVING

trail blade
#

UNEXPECTED

#

THE POOR REALM

gusty light
#

also playing without DLSS or anything

#

this game looks like it doesn't have AA what so ever

trail blade
#

i turned my to triliniar ahead of time

#

they said they'd make it try to run as good as PoE1 at least cause of the new engine

gusty light
trail blade
#

i forgive them

gusty light
trail blade
#

sql sucks

#

oh yeah true

#

my b

#

says the same words so

#

(TAA,FXAA)

gusty light
#

i'm using DLSS Quality rn

#

there is DLAA but it's rather shimmery

#

and DLSS Quality runs much better

trail blade
#

FSR looks better

#

i dont have a DLSS gpu sadly

raven nexus
#

get in
first name taken
unexpected database error on the second
back to login screen
login dood

trail blade
#

i wish you could disable Escape to Exit

#

honestly FSR has the best "quality" on my end

gusty light
#

FSR can look good until you start moving

trail blade
#

yeah we'll see

gusty light
#

people getting timed out again sadde

trail blade
#

it happens

ebon linden
#

mf josh looted lightning arrow instantly

#

so glad they moved gem out of the gear slots tbh

gusty light
#

i keep getting kicked out because of like

#

instance failure sadde

#

and the queue is so slow

#

litearlly 28 min queue

trail blade
#

im doing something insane

#

im going to the store to buy chips

#

see you in 30min

ebon linden
trail blade
#

chicken

ebon linden
#

yum

raven nexus
#

poe 2 fun so far now that I can play it

gusty light
#

i was watching ben play Spark Sorc and he was building up stun meter faster than me

#

and i actually have stun buildup nodes allocated

#

the damage in general with this shit

#

stun and armor break is just so fucking delayed

raven nexus
#

yeah I tried crossbow guy and didnt have a good time

#

switched to witch and having a better time

gusty light
#

and every fucking enemy has a knockback mechanic that interrupts your fucking cast

#

if you're melee you're fucked, if you're spellcasting or you're an archer then you just stand further away

#

it's so annoying

#

it's not even tanky

#

has 0 recovery

raven nexus
#

that sounds like it sucks

gusty light
#

on top of that

#

the attacks are so fucking slow

#

by the time you attack the enemies are already somewhere else

raven nexus
#

how is alk dealing with it

gusty light
#

he's not, he died

raven nexus
#

this is how they fix melee btw

gusty light
#

there's a lot of like

#

damage to heavy stunned enemies nodes

#

but that heavy stun takes like 20 seconds to build and only lasts like a second

#

well, more like 3 or 4

#

exaggerating ofc

#

but like by the time you get to that heavy stun you're dead

#

imma reroll when i wake up

#

as sorc i think

#

it was my fallback build

#

in case melee sucks

#

Quin gave up on Melee pretty much from what i've seen

#

Tatiantel also isn't playing his Totems

#

it's like they balanced melee around raising your shield but

#

they forgot you can't block these aoe attacks with it

#

and those are the only problematic ones

#

also for some fucking reason the default 2h mace attack is the highest DPS attack

#

Ziz still uses it in Act 2

ebon linden
#

They hate melee

raven nexus
#

finished act 1 boss

#

it felt very difficult but I also made a bunch of the same stupid mistakes over and over again so I think if someone decided to play it with a brain then it would be easier

#

pretty fun imo

#

it feels nice to play a boss encounter in a poe game where the cost of entry is low/nothing but I still get challenged

#

cough endgame poe1

ebon linden
#

ok I got the game

gusty light
#

or merc

ebon linden
#

I'm playing ranger

gusty light
#

play deadeye and not poisons

#

something's wrong with poisons for now

kind sun
#

I probably have a code available to me now that I think of it, you just needed to buy one of the recent supporter packs right?

ebon linden
#

holy shit galaxy armor

kind sun
#

PoW art design is pretty great

ebon linden
#

is the skin carry over already in the game or no

kind sun
#

I don’t know lol, not participating in the ea

gusty light
#

my league challenge rewards are not in the game yet

ebon linden
gusty light
#

and only buy them while they're on sale

ebon linden
#

They ain't

gusty light
#

then wait

#

the default armor designs look good enough imo

#

they're not shiny but

#

whatever

ebon linden
#

buying the armor crashed the servers

#

oops

#

Okay so it's not ported yet

#

but at least it shows up

#

and I still got enough for tabs later

ebon linden
#

just wanted the darkwood set because it looks like kerillian lol

gusty light
#

wait, you paid 60?

ebon linden
#

Yeah since it comes with currency

#

They just did that

trail blade
#

ok in some regards

#

i noticed that as a witch I still need to pay attention to the combos to have an easier time if i dont wanna grind op gear

#

im not going minions im going bone blood mage

#

i need to use pinning (from bone cage) to keep enemies still and keep them away from me

#

i have contagion and flame wall + raging spirits for AoE, bone cage as my "main" skill, bone wave to summon more minions and bone blast on my wand

#

the big downside to the build is getting one-shot (the executioner one-shot me once)

#

this is tthe setup

#

the game is much more slow though, and you need to work to deal with crowds and to learn the patterns to not get fucked, but you can still grind shit

#

also +1 skill level is op as usual

#

I get a bunch of garbage from full clearing, and it feels like they want us to chase rolled weapons more than poe1

#

you can also always go back to previous areas for the minibosses since getting a higher level skill gem from a trash mob later lets you clear them much faster for rare gear

#

which is not poe1-like but yknow

#

ill roll a warrior too

#

once i come back from the store

#

i do think that they want us to use the "default" attacks and skills a lot though

#

like bone blast is pretty good, it even bleeds

#

so is chaos bolt

#

there'll probably be less variance in damage between skills, and the real benefits come from combos and setups and as usual getting effects into your build

kind sun
gusty light
kind sun
#

Yeah, I just thought it was funny lol

trail blade
#

its not as punishing lol

#

ruthless is just "eat dick, no loot"

#

okay im gonna shower and then make some soup

#

we can vc if yall want afterwards to figure shit out together

trail blade
#

im here

#

so from what im reading

#

stun buildup is 50% more effective for proccing the heavy stun than just dmg

#

(when your values are equal to each other)

#

but dmg still makes fights faster

#

so maybe you only take stun buildup later?

#

also looks like 2Hs dont get much attack speed at all

#

wow earthquake desperately needs less duration

#

lel 🐟

#

okay ngl im already at the red vale

#

i dont think im havingg as much issues as others

gusty light
#

died at the end of the trial

#

with the boss at like 10% hp

#

oh my god what an absolute horrible fight

trail blade
#

😔

gusty light
#

everything is fucking covered in damage

#

and the fucking cremation geysers don't expire

#

ever

#

and he just spams them

#

the good thing is that

#

you can just keep repeating it forever

#

like lab in poe

trail blade
#

veee seee

raven nexus
trail blade
#

loool nice

raven nexus
#

it would be useful if it had more spirit but it's actually worse than a magic one with enough inc spirit at that level

#

eb converts es to mana instead of having it cover it so it's much less useful I think

#

maybe I just don't get the use case

trail blade
#

its been nerfed to not constantly recharge

#

but it's good for stacking for MoM

#

lol EQ + Boneshatter is pretty op

#

also like

#

you can get over 20 minions even in act 1 during fights lol

#

and its at least a 40% gain as with just bone wave

gusty light
#

oh jesus i've done it

#

with 22 honour left

#

i also noticed that

#

i could switch to Arc for the trial

#

it should have much more damage than Spark

trail blade
#

i really like Pin as a status effect

#

it recovers its threshold REALLY fast

#

also if i go sorc ill probably go cold spells first

gusty light
#

arc is so strong rn

trail blade
#

honestly

#

the eternal graveyard is just kind of shit

gusty light
#

YEAG

ebon linden
#

omg daph

kind sun
#

I said I wasn't going to do the EA, but fuck it I give in to temptation

#

I smell Gear, and hear the call of St. Krangle

gusty light
#

if you want some smooth sailing then try uhh

#

whatever Ruetoo's playing

#

or Stormweaver Arc

#

(which is what i'm playing)

#

expect to die a couple of times on each boss

#

and some things that i wish i knew

kind sun
#

Who has the longest neck?

#

Thats all I need to know

gusty light
#
  1. there is actually way more support skills than the game will originally want to show you. trying to support a fire spell will show you a gem that gives you 25% more fire damage and a bunch of empty "Coming soon" entries. but you can actually get more fire supports, they're just hidden - uncheck "Show recommended" at the bottom left and read through the gems, see what fits. by default this new page will only show you gems that work with your spell.
  2. pick every single piece of gear that has a socket and salvage them for Artificer's Orbs so you can add sockets to good items you have. if you stack enough it can give you crazy resistances
gusty light
#

oh and

#

nvm

kind sun
#

I'll just try my own thing and die, restart and die, restart and die.

gusty light
#

and 3. you activate buffs by right clicking the skill icon in the skill gem tab (G)

#

you don't have to move them to your skill bar anymore

#

to activate them

gusty light
#

2 uniques from 1 boss lol

ebon linden
#

What's important to get for stashes after essence & the other one

kind sun
#

Maps, I would assume.

#

Not that I know lol

#

I don't even know if there ARE maps yet.

#

I can assume there are though lol

gusty light
#

i only have currency, unique and essence

#

you probably won't need unique for now

#

essence maybe? idk about the drops

#

currency for sure

#

only buy on sales

#

for now i'd say you can play without

kind sun
#

🤔 Am I lucky or

gusty light
#

in a way

#

it's a good item but

#

they just drop quite often now

#

i got like 4 in act 1, 4 in act 2

kind sun
#

Cant wait for final boss to drop a mirrror

#

I love that they made Devourer a boss lol

#

When I get DC'ed I come back in the same spot?!?!? This is some real next gen gaming!

gusty light
#

yeah i crashed right before the act 2 boss

#

but i took a checkpoint so it logged me in there

#

and like

#

the server crashed

#

there was a queue and all

#

actual next gen shit

ebon linden
#

So you don't get hardcore ruined by a dc

#

or a spike

kind sun
#

Renly is "Warior's" adoptive father I guess, that's cute.

gusty light
#

i'm watching Havoc because he's already in maps somehow and his damage is insane

ebon linden
gusty light
#

he was in maps yesterday already

#

also i think he's the only streamer in maps

#

well at this point there's probably a few

#

but well

#

Havoc was the first person to get lvl 100 in PoE 1

#

like 10 years ago

kind sun
#

So from what I've gathered so far, hooded guy was keeping Sin's seed safe, Seems its been 20 years since PoE 1

gusty light
#

20 years

kind sun
#

The damned beast still causing the world trouble, even after all this time.

gusty light
#

20 years and Alva's still cute happy

kind sun
#

Well she is a time traveler.

trail blade
#

whats havoc playing, sorc?

#

Sorc has the easiest time of all the classes rn it looks like because she has the easiest access to generic scaling and you can hunt + levels of skills

gusty light
trail blade
#

lol fair enough

#

quality man

ebon linden
#

Thunder ranger pretty good so far

trail blade
#

yeah people have been saying ranger is doing fine

ebon linden
#

I wish the dodge shot was like

#

faster

#

lmao

kind sun
#

I’m playing boom minions, it’s working quite well, unearth for bodies and arsonists for boom, with skeletons that also boom, and I switch from arsonists to sniper for bosses

trail blade
#

im playing osemancer

#

im wondering if i want to go for "All dmg can bleed" or just stay with my phys spells

#

i kinda wanna go for all dmg can bleed

gusty light
trail blade
#

i know i need bleed chance

gusty light
#

the spoiler is that bleed kinda sucks rn

trail blade
#

i mean yeah

#

its 15/30% of the hit

gusty light
#

i mean the damage is dogshit even with aggrevate, other notables and supports

trail blade
#

honestly i wanted it largely to get it on arc or smth for clear

#

cause that node is still 10% more dmg so

#

but im 10000% going Progenesis

#

you wanna hang out i hate typing :C

gusty light
#

nyo

trail blade
#

okay but act 2 goes hard af

trail blade
#

lol okay so its clear that sorc and merc got the most testing and dev time cause spark just lets me clear at the same rate as using bonestorm and my other occultist skills

kind sun
#

I very prudy

#

no... NONONONONONONOO

#

I don't have nets! I DON'T HAVE NETS!!!

gusty light
#

Mana Tempest is literally a double damage button

#

like wtf

#

i kill rares in like 3 shots lol

kind sun
#

Contagion now gets applied to minions that are raised with copses that died to it, this is pretty great, ngl.

gusty light
#

i got a div :)

kind sun
#

Go Div yourself a hole.

gusty light
#

i crashed and now i can't log into my character :(

kind sun
trail blade
#

we will do sanctum one way or another

gusty light
#

Sanctum is easy

kind sun
#

Hooded one, defiantly not ||Sin||, not at all

#

Witch is a bitch but shes also based I guess

kind sun
#

Well, I could take a few pointers on endurance I think.

gusty light
#

watching Quin do bosses in PoE 2 is like watching Hasan react to anything

#

more pausing than content

#

pausecore

#

pause when damage taken

trail blade
#

Okay you know

#

that might be a good candidate for the hooded one

#

but I got the impression he is someone else by his voice

trail blade
kind sun
#

His voice is definitely different, but I can’t think of many people with glowing blue eyes that have a consistent aura of swirling darkness surrounding them, that are also older than most gods. It’s either him, his brother, or someone new

kind sun
#

I’ll be honest though, I did expect him to betray us, there was some dialogue that made me sus, but then again some of it was from delirium mirror stuff, and thats half reliable at best.

trail blade
#

Oh fuck off I wanted him to be doryiani

#

boooooooooooooooooring

kind sun
#

I mean, he was basically the Vaal’s Malachai, and went just as nuts.

#

Trial Master says he didn’t like him, he’s also a huge jackass himself though so who knows.

trail blade
#

fucked up

ebon linden
#

The hell is that portrait

kind sun
#

Granny hearing horns in chapter 2 is even more wild

#

Like to the point I don’t even know if it fits poe’s art style, but I like her design so much I don’t care at all

#

She does maintain a Meritocratic culture that’s dependent on keeping slaves/PoW to maintain its way of life. But I’m willing to overlook that, because it’s cool and based! (And fictional)

trail blade
#

this bitch fucking shotguns

#

vendor btw

kind sun
#

Oh yeah, he's ||Sin|| alright, the question is what happened to him? (he also says more things about betraying his "kin")

kind sun
#

Apparently Minions basically require the SRS aura, Not sure I 100% agree with that so far, but I don't have it yet either. My ice skellies do good enough damage with a +2 septer so far...

#

My DPS is a bit... Awquward in boss fights though

kind sun
#

Oh ok Sin that's depressing, get some therapy buddy.

#

Side dialog is so good in this game lol

#

Old Horn Lady is pretty based for that ngl

gusty light
#

honestly

#

i'm very tired by this game

#

i don't feel like playing it again

trail blade
#

im still a little miffed that people ran into maps day 1-2 because they got the lucky combos/had good rares early and wish this was somehow addressed

gusty light
#

it's like they just haven't learned anything in the past 15 years

#

they still think tedious = hard

#

it's exhausting

trail blade
#

but besides that I do like that you get all the non-divine currencies in the story since even if you get stuck you can trade for shit so i dont feel like i HAVE to be in maps

#

also yeah, im beginning to wonder if you can have hard stuff in ARPGs

ebon linden
#

You can't have a number game that's mechanically difficult

trail blade
#

well you should see if you ever get to some atlas bosses

#

some of the mechanics are pretty skill-oriented even though you can make a twink to one-shot them

kind sun
#

Overall I think it’s got serious potential since it probably “feels” the best out of any arpg I’ve played

gusty light
#

i mean it's better than D4 but the bar is on the floor

kind sun
#

I have much more respect for GGG than for Blizzard, PoE 2 needs some tweaking for a lot of numbers. Where as the basic skeleton of D4 is just kinda bad, just never felt good to play

trail blade
#

i just got into cruel

#

resists are criminally rare i swear

#

i found only one ring with lightning res as implicit, a few fire res here and there AND ENOUGH COLD TO GO 130% BY ACT 3

#

life mods have the values of kalguur life

#

but the rest of the stats have not been brough up to speed

#

and fucking rarity
ugh\

gusty light
kind sun
#

I think we really just need bench crafts, if we don’t, Im still in act 2 lol

gusty light
#

save your ex and buy gear

#

1 ex items can be good

kind sun
#

I’ve gotten literally one from the first boss and none since lol

#

Again, tbf, I haven’t played much

gusty light
#

i bought a bow for 3 ex and it almost doubled my damage

#

and it was already high

#

time to finish act 3 and start maps :)

trail blade
#

nooo dont learn to play the game its so hot when we complain about patches

#

(/s)

#

im waiting to equip my +3/ 120 inc/ 60 freeze cold staff...

#

fweeze duwation...

kind sun
#

I'm still saying PoE 2 is a good game tbh, its just not great(yet).

trail blade
#

its much better in cruel

#

they really gotta smooth out the early difficult

kind sun
#

Honestly I feel them, pathing is a bitch to get right.

gusty light
#

rares aren't crazy

#

i feel like i could already jump into t8s

kind sun
#

Fun little video on the math behind PoE2’s lightning method

#

Interesting that they were able to come up with a method that works pretty much only for isometric games

#

I mean it makes sense, but still

gusty light
#

PoE 2 already has 44k reviews on steam, damn

#

PoE 1 has 230k

gusty light
gusty light
#

for those interested - there's a stash tab sale going on rn

#

but... it doesn't really seem like you're gonna need anything but a premium tab pack and a currency tab

gusty light
#

merc lab done

kind sun
#

I hope they add a straight up pause button, its nice that opening some menues does, but a paus button would make me cry tears of happyness.

trail blade
#

Yep

#

i would also like a pause that isnt menu-bound

#

and like

#

a party-pause system would be nice

kind sun
#

I can never escape can I?

gusty light
#

escape what

kind sun
#

I just don't like the mechanic, it seems better with a dodge roll though lol

gusty light
#

i completed the 3 trials one today

#

so merc lab

#

the boss of that 3rd deals massive chaos damage

#

but has low hp

#

i also had crazy boons

#

50% more damage, 30% less monster life, 40% ms

kind sun
#

I had a visual glitch on the escape trial that made it look like a door was closed and couldn't be opened... I feel cheeted.

kind sun
#

Neither witch assendancy work with the build I have lol

#

Ice skeletons with frost snap and freeze stuff

#

Blood mage I guess..?

gusty light
#

blood mage and go tank

trail blade
#

im also going tank bloodmage

#

just not playing rn cause of warframe

kind sun
#

Blood mage proved to be kinda bad for my build, probably just need to respec into a few crit nodes… but taking damage with each attack eventually just kills me on bosses

trail blade
#

progenesis node, and yeah you want either the spell leech or to use the blood pickups

kind sun
#

I only have access to the first notable lol

gusty light
kind sun
#

I guess I can speck out until I get it, the health pickups are nice.... To heal the damage the ability does to me...

trail blade
#

whats your primary weapon

#

i use frost shards to proc my blobs

#

until you get like 2 mana wheels you want a free skill anyway

kind sun
#

I have the discipline staff, use it to summon ice skeletons and use frost snap+frost bolt as filler

#

With frost bomb for a debuff on big guys

#

Its worked pretty well until I got bloodmage lol

#

My mana hasn’t been problematic at all

#

Frost skeletons deal good damage and hardly cost any mana to command. Their skill absolutely obliterates things

#

I do have a +2 minion gem staff though

trail blade
#

no as in

#

no mana cost means you wont have a life cost and can proc life blobs

#

also socket vitality into your life blobs its always active

#

and only 20 spirit

kind sun
#

Haha, I don’t have any spirit available, I have 3 skeletons

#

I could take one off I suppose, but that’s a third of my dps

#

Well not exactly

#

But still

#

It’s a little strange that witch launches without a dedicated necromancy ascendancy, infernalist has some support but it’s got no support from the minions I use

gusty light
#

so

#

i got the jewels

#

i got new armor

#

i capped my res

#

now what

#

time to farm 50 ex for the quiver and 100 ex for the bow

#

and the char will be kinda ready

#

oh yeah and jewellers and vaal orbs so i can vaal the lightning arrow gem into a 5 link

trail blade
#

i want a pocket dimension where i can play for a week every friday-saturday tbh

#

@kind sun if you wanna use Bonestorm use Scattershot btw

#

it builds up 3x as fast

gusty light
#

if you want to comfortably level a Warrior you can use Pillar of the Caged God unique quarterstaff and Jarngreipr Gloves

#

then you just use Monk's starting skills instead of the Warrior's

#

both uniques are 1 ex each

ebon linden
#

I want midterms to be over so I can play more

trail blade
#

wtf is the deal with trade

#

+3-4 staves go for transmutes??

#

that little to level for free?

gusty light
#

i got

#

+2, 40% spell damage, 40% cold damage staff at lvl 6

kind sun
ebon linden
trail blade
#

im not watching that video until i drag my ass to maps

gusty light
#

oh jesus i fucking 6 linked my Ice Shot

#

20% quality, then 37 ex to get it to 5l

#

then corrupted into a 6l

#

first try

#

saved 250 ex

Dunno what I want in this league

#

Maybe some uber farmer just to see how good new pinnacles are

kind sun
#

Same, not sure what to start though.

#

Maybe minions? I haven't done them in a while.

#

But I don't think they've changed much

gusty light
kind sun
#

Never used BAMA for anything but the mvement skills lol, maybe I'll try it.

trail blade
#

bama guardian is good

#

also necro

#

im gonna start wintertide then make either SST? or some kind of stupid investment build

gusty light
#

I've left some uniques in the PoB that would be part of the natural transitions. Champion is definitely designed as a fortification stacker for the upcoming patch, so naturally things like Replica Badge and Celestial Brace will be extremely strong. These are both relatively rare uniques though in their own ways and can be subject to extreme fluc...

I've done reave before, was pretty solid

gusty light
#

Tyty's list

gusty light
#

@kind sun i decided that i want to run through the campaign to test out some builds

#

anything you're interested in?

#

i'll mostly be testing how the build feels to play

#

if you have to aim or how many buttons you have to press

kind sun
#

Haven't done poision in a while, but the dot cap is kinda lame to run into.

#

Does mean you can focus more on Defense though.

#

BAMA is probably my choice atm

#

I could always try slams again, now that I understand melee better...

gusty light
#

damn i'd have to buy the bama gems on standard

kind sun
#

Not good at bossing imo

gusty light
#

or maybe i'd run lab for them, idk

kind sun
#

Running lab for gems isn't toooo bad IMO

gusty light
#

ghazzy has a skeleton mages build that doesn't use too many buttons

#

could be interesting

gusty light
#

3 runs i think

kind sun
#

You can run basic lab for gems, if I remember right.

gusty light
#

starts with merc i think

#

for the same color

#

below it's random

kind sun
#

I just remeber you don't need to do the hardest I guess.

gusty light
#

and if you go for the shrines you get two tries

#

per lab run

gusty light
#

PoB: https://pobb.in/G3oCthOQX-WD

Atlas: https://poeplanner.com/a/OWE

Playstyle is simple, instead of running after every pack of mobs, I aggro them as densely as possible.
You will need high movement speed, phasing and a map with open layout, Glacier is an excellent choice, you can get 700+ kills in one cast.

Sometimes debuffs are maintained...

🤔

trail blade
#

noooo dont touch wintertide brand I have a job and want the game to have easy 4 stones builds

#

dont make it popular nooo

kind sun
#

Thats it. I'm starting wintertide brand.

gusty light
#

i might go volcanic honestly

#

tho i swear i tried it already and it sucked

#

ooooooooh

#

it wasn't volcanic

#

it was GC

#

in Phrecia

gusty light
#

oh yeah

#

@kind sun you can farm these in normal lab too, i was wrong

#

BAMA feels kinda ok kinda not ok

#

the AOE is kinda small and the clear is meh

#

but Volcanic feels great

#

even on a 4l with mostly wrong gear and gems

kind sun
#

BAMA needs investment from what I can see

#

Any Melee skill is pretty easy to level so long as you have a decent weapon.

#

I really just care what the endgame is like.

trail blade
#

well no

#

for bama you need investment if you wanna go chaos

#

but guardian + triele bow does 4 stones just fine

#

i league started it

#

you need "investment" like any other minion build does aka you farm easy shit in whites until you buy enough minions clusters

#

also BAMA scales off weapons too lmao

#

and you can recipe any of the transfigs

#

blink/mirror + alt = the other gem

#

like, normal tree + a decent triele (you can buy 6-700 dps for 1c on day 2) and the guardian relic notable gives you insane added dps

#

and you always have like what, 3 clones?

#

im starting wintertide occultist though

#

i wanna take it to 4 stones

#

after that i wanna play relic ascendant

gusty light
#

oh wintertide with the golem memes might be cool

#

golems might be nerfed before launch tho

#

fire golem looks powerful

#

free 60% inc aoe

neat shadow
#

I will probably go to Necro, want to test new AG

trail blade
#

chains of command?

trail blade
kind sun
#

Mother of god

trail blade
#

Triple alva gloves on bama...

kind sun
#

🤤

trail blade
#

are there any potentially good unique gloves?

#

minions dont have attributes so shaper's touch dont work

#

abhorrent is pretty good if we can make the minions invert though

#

since they hit 9 william times

kind sun
#

I would just worry about how they interpret the word “your” for that.

trail blade
#

holy shit

#

soul eated minions

kind sun
#

Mother of god, this really will be bama league huh

gusty light
trail blade
#

quiver

gusty light
#

oh

#

honestly? very good quiver mod then

#

i remember playing necro in crucible and most of my gear was just

#

life + res shit

#

now i can at least get some good gloves

#

for the minions

#

maybe i should start bama after all

trail blade
#

yes

#

i concur

#

bama guardian is really easy to 4 stone with

gusty light
#

double delayed damage tho

#

hmm

#

actually i played SRS Poison a few leagues back and i loved it so

#

maybe that's not really a problem

#

the clear isn't that amazing but SRS Poison was even worse

#

and i'd probably be farming exped and harvest again anyway

#

for the 10th fucking league in a row

#

i'm also considering uhh

#

what's it called

#

Explosive Arrow Ballista Elementalist

#

because of the Golem memes

trail blade
#

i think after my starter tree im going for kalguur

kind sun
#

Sanctum ded

#

Good I hated it happy

trail blade
#

rip if only it werent shit to run for 85% of builds

gusty light
# kind sun

yeah they want you to focus on the new mechanic

#

or just switch to heist i guess

#

but yeah sanctum was broken

kind sun
#

Now OS will cost 10 mirrors ALLAHsnapped

#

I probably made around a mirrors worth of currency last league. Maybe I finally get a T0 drop this league aythink

#

I doubt BAMA can deep delve, so I'll need a new strat this league.

gusty light
kind sun
#

Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas

trail blade
#

why would you need to deep delve for money

#

kalguur is right here

#

just convert harvest to food

kind sun
#

I was making like 30 divs a day from selling delv shit man, THATS A LOT OF MONEY TO ME

neat shadow
#

My favorite early money is still essence farm

#

Sad that memories were deleted, they were good early too

trail blade
#

i also wish they were expanded instead of turned into this

kind sun
#

BAMA will require me to essence farm again unles sI want to buy them, Honestly it doesn't look too bad to SSF... Not that I want to.

#

We'll really need to see how the new league goes. There will probably be an essence related chain. GGG usually does that kinda thing.

trail blade
#

Again, literally you only need dps bows + one 1% as minion cluster to do your stones

kind sun
#

Need? Sure. Want? Absolutely pathetic

neat shadow
#

Are Bama guardian or necro better?

kind sun
#

At least from what I've seen Guardian is just better, but both are viable.

trail blade
#

Guardian is easier to gear and paly

#

play

#

Necro is higher end because of Adorned + abyss stacking

#

you can get some really fat adorned setups

#

ive done a lot of weird experimenting near the end of the league

#

but yeah 32% attack speed, 37% increased dmg, and like >150 life from 6 points

#

and you could use niko prior to go for chaos DoT bama as necro

#

nott niko uh
synthesized jewels

kind sun
#

I got Arakali's Fang Champ

#

I will miss having 90/90/90/90 res and 8 endurance charges....

#

With progenissis...

#

Arakali's fang IS fun... But I've done it before, with a better build.

1h before league start I remembered that I hadn't bought any snacks for gaming nigh

kind sun
#

Just order a Pizza and a MNTNDUE like a real gamer

gusty light

ok so

#

might go VFoS i guess

#

honestly overall i'm not convinced by

#

uhh

#

Berserker

#

i think i'd rather go with like

#

Champ and then armor stack maybe

#

or

#

Warden

#

but whatever

kind sun
#

The only water I drink is the tears of plebs when I scam them for 5 chaos orbs instead of 4 HAHA

#

WHAT LOSERS

#

I think I may even afford a 5 link this league boys! I always sort by highest becuase I only want the BEST for my character.

gusty light
#

I FORGOR THE FILTERS

#

don't forger the filters, chat

kind sun
#

Why would I need filters I can just sell everything?

#

What if your filter is wrong and it misses a Magic item with perfect rolls? This is why I can AFFORD to play this game!

#

(thanks for the reminder fam)

#

I just had a dark vission of the future. Imagine a world where GGG does their own loot filter, and has it auto update based on player trades. To the point that the filter starts to hide very valuable items due to manipulation.

#

bama 15с already

#

Reason why I usually avoid popular builds

kind sun
#

Reminder that you can change ba into ma and vice versa with an alt orb in a trade window

#

It’s actually one of the easiest gems to farm as a result

kind sun
#

One of the things about meta builds is that the initial cost early league is high, but then, as more and more gear floods the market, either as a result of upgrades, or of people crafting gear for the build specifically

#

The price does drop significantly and finding upgrades becomes really easy

kind sun
#

Lets fuckin go

neat shadow

nice

gusty light

i keep crashing and losing maps sadde

i've had enough

another fucking crash

at the end of Strand

literally the last boss had like 10% health left

#

i give up on this shit

#

fuck you GGG

#

servers have been shit all year and you've done nothing

kind sun
#

My que number was just random numbers until I got in. Increasing and decreasing

#

Fix yo shit... Maybe I'll play Dune for a bit...

gusty light
#

yesterday it was fine when i was playing on canada east or DC

#

now it's just

#

every map crashes

trail blade
#

@gusty light

#

sorry i had to

kind sun
#

BAMA is pretty good, turns out the build everyone said was busted was

#

Mostly playing dune though, servers are too unstable to enjoy playing

#

Maybe it’ll be better once the week is up clueless

trail blade
#

servers are okay for me

#

i got to white maps, my brand is killing

#

i need to go full block though

It was fine for me as well, got to maps, finaly.

Seems that VF is the meta build this league. at least as far as I can see from ninja.

#

Still looks like a pretty healthy metta though nothing over 25% like last league.

gusty light
#

without crashing every second map

#

at least if it as like

disconnects without instance crashes then fine, whatever

but i lose everything and there's always a rollback

i tried playing pf spellslinger but it didnt work so im gonna reroll her into SST

kind sun
#

Why not bama young_cash_register

#

Jokes aside, bama feels pretty fragile

#

Need to build up my defense layers

#

Need an energized armor asap

#

My brain still thinks of Energized armor as a new jewel for some reason, it’s like 10 years old ded

#

Radial jewels are hardly a thing anymore

trail blade
#

because SST is my favourite skill and i already played bama in necro

neat shadow
#

Will I regret it..

kind sun
#

Well did you? I would guess so, that looks pretty juiced.

#

I normally run my essence maps on tier 6 normal maps

#

And thats when I was nearly immortal. Some essence monsters are scary

neat shadow
#

Can be worse

kind sun
#

Will say, kinda struggling with Bama defenses, armor/evasion/surpress is only so good

It is a minion build and I should be taking better advantage of that

Sometimes, when you gaze into the meme, the meme gazes back

... why?

#

also no offense to people who have time to play

#

but i hope that group MF gets removed

#

that way guilds will have less money to pile up to feed the build gear crafting econony and people will have to learn to play the game before t17s and memory maps

and then prices will be better for more than 4 hours
