Bro this PoE2 league is so fucking wild, not even Affliction was this wild

#

Never was there a league where people were paid in PoE1 for just existing in a mechanic

#

I was paid 22d just for being in a temple

#

Like that is so wild

onyx adder
#

U can understand my confusion yes

hexed egret
#

Was there a PoE1 league like that

#

Like people were paid to just tag along

#

I know Affliction was loot galore

onyx adder
#

Are u asking whether ppl were ever paid to provide quant bonus

hexed egret
#

It was a great league

onyx adder
#

Answer is yes obvs

hexed egret
#

But in such a large scale?

onyx adder
#

I dont know, because comparison of scale requires me to talk about poe2

hexed egret
#

Like I see many many groups advertising for people to join them

onyx adder
#

Which i dont want to do in poe1 chat

hexed egret
#

Man I want to talk about this in like PoE1 terms

onyx adder
#

That requires this chat to care about a poe2 league tho

hexed egret
#

True but I was hoping there was someone who played both lol

#

people would join pl, campaign skip, migrate to trade

proud gorge
#

Okay, I get that people don't like running campaign repeatedly, but what do you think the alternative is? Do you think Campaign Skip would also give you 70 levels?

opaque sphinx
#

buy private league
campaign skip 1 of each ascendancy
migrate to league
close private league
????
profit

proud gorge
#

you'd still need to level your character

#

in level-appropriate zones

#

and that means campaign

#

So your idea for a campaign replacement is to instead run through "maps" which span the entire level range from 1 to 70, in which you run through the zone killing enemies to level up?

#

there's no difference

#

okay what difference

#

? You still have to go into campaign zones and kill a bunch of enemies in the zone

#

so the benefit here is... not talking to NPCs a couple of times?

rancid peak
#

He isnt wrong tbh, the only difference would really be just no npc interaction

proud gorge
#

do you really hate npcs

#

It really isn't

rancid peak
#

Wouldnt say quicker, would still be about the same

proud gorge
#

again, the slowest part of "campaign" is levelling up, which is why campaign speedruns end the campaign massively underlevelled

rancid peak
#

No you cant?

#

So you're going to playtest something that isnt available to do?

#

🤦

proud gorge
#

again, I think people have constructed this idea that "mapping" is inherently "more fun" completely regardless of any other context

rancid peak
#

Sure Mapping is more fun, don't think a majority would disagree with that, but it doesnt mean it would necessarily be faster

proud gorge
#

remember that, among other things, you wouldn't get the Atlas Tree

#

or, like, basically any other benefits of "mapping"

#

that make it not just functionally a campaign zone but with inconsistent layouts

stoic horizon
rancid peak
#

If you could, it would most likely limit you being able to do proper mapping content until 60-65

proud gorge
#

like, maps are basically just campaign zones with inconsistent layouts, but you also have to spend an item to enter?

#

that's, like, two negatives and no positives

rancid peak
#

oof, you get unlucky enough to not drop a map and you're cooked 🤣

#

We NEVER said campaign was more fun btw

thick goblet
#

lvl 1 is going to feel the exact same no matter what the tileset looks like

proud gorge
#

the only real benefits of maps over campaign is a) ability to benefit from atlas tree, b) ability to benefit from scarabs, and c) ability to be rolled with currency that you don't have at low level

rancid peak
#

Again, do you have ANY proof of this?

thick goblet
#

so you just want more xp?

proud gorge
#

It sounds like you don't want campaign skip, you just want much faster levelling

#

which is fine to say, just don't pretend that's what campaign skip is

#

people have postulated about a theoretical "infinite delve" as a replacement for campaign levelling, since Delve is pretty good density even at low level

#

but just trying to replace campaign zones with maps doesn't actually, like, do anything?

thick goblet
#

im confused, what does ramp faster mean if it's not faster levelling
like genuine question

stoic horizon
#

infinity delve was cool but i didnt like the forced ssf

#

im too dumb for ssf

rancid peak
#

"You do not need faster levelling"

Meanwhile:

proud gorge
#

even rolling these theoretical "campaign maps" wouldn't serve much purpose because the main benefit of rolling regular maps is increased quant and rarity

#

in return for higher difficulty

stoic horizon
#

so you are implying you'd only get better layouts?

proud gorge
#

and like, I don't think rolling "campaign maps" for higher quant and rarity in exchange for higher difficulty is particularly useful

#

for levelling

rancid peak
#

Yes, we all know about Blood Aqueducts lil bro, relax

stoic horizon
#

who tf does lvling zones in campaign, apart from hc

#

these days

proud gorge
#

Again, there's actual campaign speedruns, and they end up massively underlevelled because turns out you can run through zones massively faster than you can level up in them

rancid peak
#

Me 🤣

proud gorge
#

walking through zones is very much not the limiting factor in terms of "campaign speed"

#

unless you're really bad at layouts I guess?

rancid peak
#

So you dont even want to do maps, you just want multiple straight areas with mobs to kill

proud gorge
#

you can yeah, but again, the main thing that makes campaign "slow" is having to level your character up from 1 to like 65 or so

#

the actual "running through zones" is very much not the limiting factor for campaign speed

thick goblet
#

i dont think you can say that's in the framework ggg would agree, when they've said they dont want any form of campaign skip

rancid peak
#

He's right, Literally only feels slow because of how low level you are. As soon as you hit act 3/4, it gets pretty quick

stoic horizon
#

the same

#

you still are lvl 1 with unsupported rolling magma

tranquil sedge
#

you mean running shitty maps with zero loot? yea nobody is going to do that either

#

they'll just complain about that instead

stoic horizon
#

no matter if you are in a "map" or on the beach

tranquil sedge
#

zero juice zero difficulty zero loot

tulip junco
#

Hello everyone I have a serious question

rancid peak
#

Wouldnt change anything. No movement skills, barely any skills and supports, would barely make a difference

proud gorge
#

side note, xp penalties are very much a thing, the speedrun is taking hard ass xp penalties by the end of campaign, because there's significant penalties for fighting significantly over leveled enemies. The only reason this is less of the case in maps is because enemies in map levels have a deliberately much lower "effective level" for determining xp penalties

#

so no, you would not be running massively overlevelled campaign maps for xp

tranquil sedge
#

and you don't need to run '100' campaigns to speed up lmfao

#

obviously?

proud gorge
#

you get the most xp from fighting enemies at around your level

tranquil sedge
#

do you think your campaign loot is even worth a dozen chaos?

proud gorge
#

which, guess what, the campaign nicely funnels you through

tranquil sedge
#

ur lucky if u get 20c by the end of campiang in value lol

#

you can run red maps on 20c of gear

#

that doesn't make it 'loot'

proud gorge
#

leaguestart builds are designed to run red maps on like 5c yeah

tranquil sedge
#

thats still trash

stoic horizon
#

bro spends 24h in ossuary

tranquil sedge
#

running maps for a few hours to get 20c ?

proud gorge
#

but the reason people complain about campaign is that they want to make big bucks in maps

tranquil sedge
#

that is zero loot

proud gorge
#

and unjuiced "campaign maps" would just be campaign zones

#

but with shittier layouts

tulip junco
#

Ranger * Default attack* if I upgrade Projectile passives the default attack do More dmg?

tranquil sedge
#

if you have nothing to say you want to end the convo

#

yes, the common exit of the idiot

proud gorge
#

well, bow default attack

#

not sure why you'd want that though

#

literally any bow attack is just default attack but better

tranquil sedge
#

you can't find a coherent way to reason why people would run maps to get effectively almost zero loot for a few hours over running a campaign for a few hours which also effectively gets almost zero loot

#

and when people call you out for your bullshit you wanna end the campaign

#

that loot is worthless

#

its not even worth calling 'loot'

tranquil sedge
#

one red map makes yo more money than the entire campaign

#

hell one yellow map with harvest already makes more

rancid peak
#

Look, I think a majority of players would prefer a campaign skip of some sort. I would love if Alts would instant be 65 and in maps, I make like 15-20 characters a league, It's just that your idea sucks 👍

tranquil sedge
#

of course its worthless

#

you think we consider value based on how much we make in campaign?

#

the only purpose of campaign is to reach maps

proud gorge
#

the point being made is that when people talk about "juiced maps giving loot", a single juiced map gives exponentially more loot than you get in the entirety of the campaign

tranquil sedge
#

no

#

campaign is zero div per hour

#

of course its your point because you responded to me saying if u ran maps instead of campaign for 4 hours you'd get almost no loot

#

you want to run maps instead of campaign zones

rancid peak
#

The XP WOULD BE THE SAME

tranquil sedge
#

im saying why would anyone run them

#

maps are fun because they give loot

maps without loot are no different to existing campaign

rancid peak
#

There's probably more mobs in the campaign zones than early maps

tulip junco
stoic horizon
#

please do

tranquil sedge
#

did you run out of coherent arguments again

rancid peak
#

Wouldnt mind that tbh

proud gorge
#

the point is that you're trying to insist that somehow replacing campaign with "mapping" would make it automatically better, but the main benefit of "mapping" over zones is that they make way more loot in endgame with a highly invested atlas tree and scarabs. And if you have neither of those things, then mapping is just running campaign zones but with inconsistent layouts

tranquil sedge
#

yea
im saying that we already do that and its better than the half-baked idea you came up with

rancid peak
#

Mate you will too. You'll run it, bitch about it, and still complete it like a good boy

maybe that's why he immediately turned to base insults

stoic horizon
#

bro had very hard arguments for someone whos comments were on b0b5 vid in the rue drama kek

tranquil sedge
proud gorge
#

"mapping" must be good because it's called "mapping" and not "campaign"

#

zero further thought

tranquil sedge
#

ironic he's talking about campaign skip especially with that poe2 tag on his profile lol

#

as if poe1 is the game that needs a skip to begin with

proud gorge
#

oh man, did you hear they made poE2 campaign even longer

tranquil sedge
proud gorge
#

I guess they didn't like people calling campaign the tutorial, so they really wanted campaign to be "the main game"

drowsy eagle
#

can someone give a good opinion for me to say so this guy would block me?

proud gorge

no matter how long it is

tranquil sedge
rancid peak

poe 1 campaign is simple asf. league start im finishing that in 8-10, alts 2-3 (Still wouldnt mind Alts being able to be instant 65 though 🙏 )

tranquil sedge
#

clearly that's what he took away from the conversation

tulip junco
# proud gorge not sure why you'd want that though

I got some items from old player who helped me and I have too much attack speed and try to maximise default attack for fast relaxing farming to explore maps that why I’m asking for Projectiles dmg and Attack dmg

my leaguestart times are about the same as yours too

whats the tea for people malding again

proud gorge
#

I mean, mana really shouldn't be an issue, particularly for an attack build, even with very high attack speed

gentle ice
#

poe1 definitely doesn't need a campaign skip it in fact i don't even want it in poe1, but i would 100% take it on poe2 tho 🤣

soft perch
#

oh right

stoic horizon

mald of the day is campaign

#

carry on

proud gorge
#

a single mana leech node should cover mana costs entirely

rancid peak
#

Yeah, but when im making 15-20 characters a league, I'd REALLY love insta 65 for alts 🤣

soft perch
#

i think campaign is pretty satisfying in poe1

rancid peak
#

Well

soft perch
#

the pace of progression is fun

also even now their communication is pretty lackluster

that phrecia post fails to address severall points lol

  • why is it ending so early
  • when is 3.27 ending exact date relative to phrecia

If I use sockets on armor for bow attacks it’s the same like I use this socket on bow?

rancid peak

I will say, I feel like they have MANY more ascendancies locked away, I thought we'd see some new ones

stoic horizon
tranquil sedge
proud gorge
#

man, I need another source of Blood Magic other than Malachai's Simula to bridge the gap from level 44 to 61, but I don't really want to have to corrupt all my gems

#

but I think that might be the only option

thick goblet
tulip junco
tranquil sedge
tranquil sedge
#

the other situation would be if you were using triggers then the order of the gems matters
but again, whether its on a boot or helm or glove or body, just depends on the items

stoic horizon
proud gorge
#

I think CWDT is the only one where trigger order actually matters

tranquil sedge
#

like there was an ascendency in 3.23 affliction that let u benefit from not having gems in your body armor

#

i think that's what it was?

proud gorge
#

since CWS just rolls every gem independently

tranquil sedge
#

so then ppl tried to benefit from that by using other rings and stuff

tulip junco
stoic horizon
tranquil sedge
proud gorge
#

ah yeah, fair enough

thick goblet
#

desecrate/offering is a commoncase

tranquil sedge
#

and yea it matters for the socketed gem trigger craft on weapons

proud gorge
#

but those are internal to a link

#

I think CWDT is the only case of trigger order mattering over multiple different items

#

and as a result which link you socket into which item matters

tulip junco
#

One more serious question and thanks everyone

#

In 6 sockets if I use 2 skills and 4 support. It’s fine?

tranquil sedge
#

yes, that's the same as having two 5-links in the same gear

#

both skills will be supported by the same 4 supports, if all the sockets are linked.

*and the supports are applicable

#

a common example is corrupting fever + reap builds

proud gorge
#

well, assuming both gems can be supported by all the supports

tranquil sedge
#

lotta them run dual 5-link in the body

#

cf + reap + 4 supports

thick goblet

oh it's because there's now "after acts help"

stoic horizon
#

god damnit discord fix your mobile bugs

thick goblet
#

if you've completed the campaign before, but still have campaign questions you're encouraged to ask in the other channels
since you're familiar with all the basics, and people can skip to the high level stuff when answering

proud gorge
#

I suppose cases of people not knowing how links work but having finished campaign are probably relatively rare

#

extant but rare

tranquil sedge
proud gorge
#

still not a huge fan of the rename to "new-player-in-campaign-help" since it implies that new players who aren't in campaign can't get help on basic things, but ah well

tranquil sedge
#

thats what he meant rename

#

ew i didn't even notice that

Wasn't the armor stack default attack setup group play even?

tranquil sedge

straight up can think of multiple other skills better off playing for the most part

i love that u care about smite clear bc its not default attack but it having 6 ppl required for the dps is fine

top end builds can hit like 5m+ dps on default attack, even trade league stackers can get over 2m can't they?

What was the bet? uber sirus or something?

Remi said you cannot beat ubers with default attack on non-armorstacker

so CDR matters more

foulborn choir and then u have a pretty crazy build already

vixens it's really hard to get the cast speed to make the cdr matter

whisperer is a bit pob warrior imo

idk, i've played kboc whisperer in last phercia n kboc guardian in keepers kekw

also sea legs is genuinely crazy in a 3 week league

if nothing changes it'll be broken

Can kboc boss decently day 1/2? ScuffThink I always sleep on wands because I think their bossing is awful

then with whisperer you can ff ricohet

I don't think I've ever had a functional pair of f/fs lol

soft perch

i do genuinely think surfcaster is the better option cuz the league is so short itll be hard to actually get the dex chest mod and shit

#

and sea legs + foulborn choir is just so fuckin good

split maple
#

i think its kinda bait to lean into dexstack early too much, just do conventional manastack even on whisperer

soft perch
#

yes

split maple
#

and just grab like 500dex

soft perch
#

this is another reason why i think u just click surfcaster

pliant hamlet

we know all / there is more just feels so good no?

spring axle
#

yeah i guess with runegraft of refraction there's less reason to go whisperer for the awk fork now

split maple
#

I can see the point Ig, like with refraction runegraft in the game whisperer feels worse than hiero for kboc

Which is why mfa is much more interesting to me

Since that's really distinct from base game

# potent horizon what does accuracy stack do overall

Many ways to get accuracy, very many this league specifically and then they give.
Attack speed from juggernaut at 1% per 150 accuracy.
Damage at 1 to 6 flat lightning per 200 accuracy.
Crit chance if you wish with gloves at 2% attack crit chance per 200 accuracy.
But this makes an okay build at best.
Big reason it's good is that you can stack accuracy and intelligence this league with foulborn hand of thought and motion and get even more damage while also getting defence, which is what accuracy stackers usually desperately lack.

which is wild

#

Controlled Blaze is better, but still caps out at 26 hits in 4 seconds

pulsar dune
#

There's also HoAG IG, but that one's pretty easy to cap in practice.

proud gorge
#

but yeah, in practice something like +1 phys damage for each hit in the past second would probably mostly benefit already really strong builds, like MS Zenith, or the Accuracy Stack build

#

rather than the intended target, Saturation or Barrage of Volley Fire and such

pulsar dune
#

There is woespike

#

But that's fairly limited in scope

whole bluff
#

If woespike had "impales on enemies you hit become 10% stronger"

proud gorge
#

lmao, now that would get out of control very quickly if it triggered on every hit

whole bluff
#

Maybe maximum 200%

proud gorge
#

honestly, the biggest issue with most of these super high hit rate skills is their super low damage, which most solutions don't really address, and even the theoretical +1 phys damage for each hit in the past second is limited by the skill's very low DE

#

Woespike is probably the best "high hit rate payoff" so far because it actually just adds flat damage completely regardless of the skill's actual damage or DE onto every hit

pulsar dune
#

Yea, some DE independent stuff is in the game, but since you can get genuinely absurd amounts of hits in the game, they have to be capped

#

If woespike wasn't limited to melee it'd genuinely be the strongest item in the game by a wide margin

proud gorge
#

yeah

#

disappointing for my dreams of max damage Saturation/Volley Fire builds, but ah well

#

maybe I'll try Woespike at some point though

#

there's not really any melee skills that I feel like really evoke the same "fill the air with arrows" of Saturation though

frigid wedge
proud gorge
#

yeah

frigid wedge
#

if u decrease light radius u can get big dps w wreath of phrecia

#

but then no aoe

proud gorge
#

you can, but like I said turns out even with every arrow hitting the same target it's worse damage than regular Rain of Arrows

frigid wedge
#

so do the same thing w regular

#

its still just a sky shaft

proud gorge
#

I just like the idea of Saturation and its ridiculously over-the-top number of arrows

frigid wedge
#

saturation is mostly for on hit effects

proud gorge
#

yeah

frigid wedge
#

like uh

#

decay

#

could get dps outta it

#

good hitrate

pulsar dune
#

How much quality do you need to have roas win?

#

Decay doesn't stack with itself

proud gorge
#

okay let's see

frigid wedge
#

oh

frigid wedge
#

idk what

#

but a stacking dmg ailment

#

maybe also good for assassin poison

proud gorge
#

every Rain arrow is 0.60 DE, its base is 22 arrows, and it gains 0.2 arrows per 1% quality, so each 1% quality is 0.12 DE

Saturation arrows are 0.35 DE, its base is 33 arrows, and it gains 0.4 arrows per 1% quality, so each 1% quality is 0.14 DE

RoA is 15.6 DE at 20/20, while Saturation is 14.35. That's a gap of 1.25 DE. To make up for that, you would need 62.5% added quality

#

so, a bit much

#

things get very slightly easier if you're looking at level 21 gems, and in fact the higher level the RoA gem the more Saturation gains comparatively, due to Saturation getting twice as many arrows per quality but gaining more than half the extra DE per level compared to RoA

#

but you still do need very high quality to make Saturation even match base

#

but yeah, the key issue with Saturation is just that it has way way too many hits for absolutely everything, unless it's uncapped

#

at 20/20, it generates 41 arrows per attack, and has no attack speed penalty or anything

frigid wedge
#

yeah

#

so abuse it

proud gorge
#

the point is that there's not really great ways to abuse it outside of, like, life gain on hit and such

fickle glen
#

Yo I just got disconnected in the eternal labyrinth, does this mean I lost the offering of the goddess?

proud gorge
#

with an extremely mediocre attack rate of like 6 attacks a second, that's 246 arrows a second. That's absolutely miles above absolutely every single cap on everything that's attack speed based
