Omg.. the wasted time…

proud gorge
#

but yeah, while Saturation is technically the "highest played" version of Rain of Arrows on poe.ninja, it's almost exclusively in the form of MFA utility skill

#

LGoH and Culling Strike and so on

nocturne saddle
#

kjh

proud gorge
#

which makes sense, it's what the skill is naturally good at

#

I just wish it could exist as a real damage skill, to shine on its own

#

but alas, it seems not

#

to be fair, Cyclone is in basically the same spot

#

at least Cyclone can have Woespike though

clear summit
#

Can anyone help me fix up build? I’m really squishy and need more boss damage (I can run juiced t17s and kill Uber elder but I die a lot, and my boss damage is horrible)

onyx adder
proud gorge
#

aw, lmao

#

look what they have taken from us

#

the infinite barrage

whole bluff
#

Neat

proud gorge
#

unfortunately Gluttonous Tide would actually be really bad for Saturation

#

due to it granting flat extra arrows

whole bluff
#

Pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew..

proud gorge
#

could be fun with some skill that fires in sequence with low base arrows though

whole bluff
#

Isn't it like only barrage

frigid wedge
#

scourge arrow is only good use of tides ive seen

whole bluff
#

How does it work on SA?

proud gorge
#

there's lots of skills that fire arrows in sequence

frigid wedge
#

sa shotguns per proj

proud gorge
#

especially if you slap Barrage support onto one

frigid wedge
#

same for tornado shot

whole bluff
frigid wedge
#

anything u would consider spinehail on can go tides

frigid wedge
#

but its from the thorns yes

whole bluff
#

So you add a ton of arrows to get more consistent hits with thorn arrows?

frigid wedge
#

every main arrow can hit with 1 thorn arrow

#

or 1 per pod per main

#

but yes it scales w proj

whole bluff
#

But isn't pods capped to like 5?

frigid wedge
#

tornado shot also gains dps per extra projectile

frigid wedge
proud gorge
#

Scourge Arrow is just too good, since it has the ability to turn one extra arrow into a bunch of extra hits

zinc jackal

my 4th this league in ssf xdd

whole bluff

But

Skill functions and interactions

Additional arrows (from support gems and items like Death's Harp) apply to the primary arrow, instead of the thorn arrows. Additional arrows cause spore pods to distribute evenly among each primary arrow, rather than in a line from player. Having more arrows than pods will not cause additional pods to spawn. Therefore at 5 stages Scourge Arrow will spawn 5 pods — if the player has 6 total arrows (5 additional) one of the arrows will not spawn a pod.

frigid wedge
#

yeah

#

ok

#

menace works tho

proud gorge
#

oh, was I lied to

tight plinth
#

has someone cooked up sometghing cool?

proud gorge
#

eh, it's just Scourge Arrow of Menace but with extra arrows

whole bluff
#

I cooked a potato once

proud gorge
#

I've been playing this weird Jiquani Triggerbots Foulborn Kitava's Thirst Saboteur build though

frigid wedge
#

sa of menace is 2 pod per arrow

frigid wedge
proud gorge
#

which one

#

personally I enjoy GTNH, but man that's a long-ass pack

frigid wedge
#

cabin

#

friend had a server

proud gorge
#

ah, a 1.20 modpack

#

Create-based

proud gorge
#

not for me, lmao, I'm one of those guys who's stuck in the past

frigid wedge
proud gorge
#

I mean, Create is a cool mod

frigid wedge
#

ive played every other mod in the pack atp other than the ones that need create

#

ive literally maxed out a magicbane

proud gorge
#

it's just also very emblematic of the newgen of minecraft mod packs

frigid wedge
#

other than the +1 max enchant level tomes

proud gorge
#

since absolutely everything uses Create, I guess in the same way that the old 1.7 modpacks all used IC2

frigid wedge
#

99% of the time it doesn't even thematically make sense

proud gorge
#

it's, uh, stylish I guess

#

that's the justification, its machines do animation-y things

frigid wedge
#

found some witch modpack with a bunch of lil magic mods and stuff and then they had create and 4 things

proud gorge
#

whereas the oldgen machines mostly just blink and make loud noises

#

maybe throw out some particle effects if they're feeling fancy

frigid wedge
steel light
#

50m shipment, nice trap

proud gorge
#

ah, that's unfortunate to hear

frigid wedge
#

also it has like 500 different mods w add-ons

#

but like

#

pls find mods that actually fit ur modpack

proud gorge
#

GTNH truly is the journey of a thousand miles

pulsar dune
#

I'll probably start a GTNH playthrough sometime.

frigid wedge
#

which one is that?

ornate patrol
proud gorge
#

Gregtech New Horizons

frigid wedge
#

oh right

#

i haven't played atm10tts yet

#

kinda wanna

pulsar dune
#

tts was funny, everything was kinda easy, except the chaos guardian, which crashed my game several times

frigid wedge
#

i cant play packs that fully take themselves seriously bc then theres no stupid fun items

proud gorge
#

apparently even if you know everything going in, know all the strats, and do things very efficiently, you're still looking at a multi-month playthrough

frigid wedge
#

and i love stupid fun items

proud gorge
#

I, meanwhile, am not what I could call hyper-efficient lmao

frigid wedge
#

i was playing permafrost a bit ago

#

kinda fun

proud gorge
#

but yeah, lots of Gain X on hit things for Saturation, but basically no payoffs for those things

#

maybe you could do something stupid with Indigon and mana on hit?

#

who knows

ornate patrol
#

Im in the middle of a nomifactory playthrough, fun but is often painful

frigid wedge
#

i gotta say reliquary is one of my fav mods rn and its dumb

proud gorge
#

actually is there any way to get Indigon to apply to attacks anymore

#

since Battlemage's Cry doesn't do that anymore

#

apparently the only option is the Wand Mastery

#

so wouldn't work with bow attacks anyways

pulsar dune
#

phrecia ascendancy

tight plinth
#

til apostate also includes shield as equpped armor items

proud gorge
#

well yeah, but I mean outside of Phrecia ascendancies

pulsar dune
#

then no

proud gorge
#

since that kind of limits the viability of the build outside of Phrecia

split maple
#

lets you do these builds

frigid wedge
#

i swear battlemage change was just done to screw over kbof

barren river
#

pls bring back old battlemage's cry

proud gorge
#

nah old Battlemage's Cry was good but also incredibly annoying to use

barren river
#

hear me out: zenith with royal burger

frigid wedge
proud gorge
#

bring back the effect in a less annoying manner

barren river
proud gorge
#

stick the whisperer node in a Bloodline or something

frigid wedge
#

the effect used to be fine but they killed autoexert too

barren river
#

Or make it an aura

frigid wedge
#

bring back call to arms

#

with no exertion

#

for buffs

whole bluff
#

Ngl, the effect already exits. Indigon just isn't balanced

proud gorge
#

here's my stupid idea: A chestplate with "increases and reductions to spell damage also apply to Maximum Life at 40% of the value"

barren river
# barren river Or make it an aura

Something like this: "Battlemage's Aura(could not find a better name)", with the crown of eyes mod, and it reserves both life and mana, and levels grant it less reservation

proud gorge
#

actually 40% is maybe a bit high

#

25%

whole bluff
#

There is a perfectly fine BMC effect helm in Crown of Eyes, I don't understand what the complaints are all about Clueless

proud gorge
#

I just love the idea of some Indigon build fluctuating its spell damage and as a result causing wild fluctuations in maximum life

#

I want to see a build whose maximum life varies wildly from second to second

barren river
#

To use indigon or a royal burger with the accuracy mod

whole bluff
#

What is the royal burger?

whole bluff
barren river
proud gorge
#

tbh we need more things that scale off of weird stats, or convert strange stats into each other

barren river
#

With -chaos res and acc=str

whole bluff
#

Ah

proud gorge
#

where's my weapon that scales off Stun threshhold

whole bluff
#

Then it sounds more valid to me

#

Indigon should maybe be nerfed though

barren river
woeful pumice
#

Anyone on a mac m1 chip know what's the best option for playing?

proud gorge
#

gloves that convert excess crit chance into base lightning damage, crit chance stack

#

or actually probably percent lightning damage

barren river
proud gorge
#

base lightning damage is probably too strong

split maple
pulsar dune
barren river
#

I really want to use something else instead of crown of eyes for zenith

woeful pumice
woeful pumice
whole bluff
#

But indigon is like such an inverse ketchup bottle that also warps meta around it

potent horizon
#

Which lightning skill has tbe coolest MTX In your opinion

pulsar dune
#

spider spark

whole bluff
#

Crack cocaine lance

pulsar dune
#

I need to play crack lance sometime

whole bluff
#

It's so-so

potent horizon
#

I love that answer because I have no idea what you're talking about

whole bluff
#

But cool imo

pulsar dune
barren river
#

Indigon is a stupid item(though it's also cool)

proud gorge
#

pork crackling lance

barren river
#

I want to see zenith indigon

pulsar dune
#

it is an interesting kind of % payoff at least

barren river
#

Can it even work?

pulsar dune
#

unlike the dozens of % per \d+ of stat payoffs in the game

#

zenith indigon should work pretty well in phrecia

barren river
#

Assuming that we had old battlemage's cry

#

I should POB that

onyx adder
#

Just watch a youtube video of the animation till u get bored

#

That gives u 100% of the upside of the skill

proud gorge
#

zenith indigon was good with old Battlemage yeah, it just couldn't reach the nonsensical screen-clearing heights of MFA battlemage

whole bluff
#

I like watching stuff like dark souls on YouTube

potent horizon
#

I might have to full lean into getting a fishing pole as priority 1 for phrecia

barren river
#

My condolences

proud gorge
#

Crackling Lance is, somehow, probably the best "arc"-styled skill in the game

#

that doesn't make it good, it just makes it better than Arc

#

and the other arc-likes

whole bluff
#

Tbf, my favourite is cocaine lance of disintegration

barren river
#

Also, IDK how they can buff self cast

potent horizon
#

I'll have to check it out I'm debating on architect of chaos vaal snap or a lightning spell for Cold conversion

whole bluff
#

Cuz it's just like 💥

split maple
#

and it will be close to sane

barren river
#

Whispers is a good crutch

frigid wedge
proud gorge
#

I did play Crackling Lance traps one time, it was alright

frigid wedge
#

if u use hateful accuser

frigid wedge
barren river
#

I refer to Whispers of Infinity

frigid wedge
#

ohh

#

right

whole bluff
#

I think there's a bunch of cool things they could do. Like make temporal rift cost more reservation and cast your spells from the mirage

frigid wedge
#

that's

whole bluff
#

Make echo never animate twice

frigid wedge
#

a bit much

whole bluff
#

Cascade self cast only

barren river
#

Imagine if Awa Spel Echo was like Awa Multi

#

As in it adds another repeat

potent horizon

Is it possible to POB for phrecia yet

which is the most desirable t17 map outlay ?

#

and why ?

pulsar dune
#

varies league-on-league

lilac parcel
#

t17

pulsar dune
#

this time around I think zig since it drops the best frags

lilac parcel
#

what frags means ?

normal hedge
#

uber frags

pulsar dune
#

early league its usually fortress since easy boss

#

but in past leagues it was fortress even later due to barrels

normal hedge
#

outside frags, fortress because of barrels, other t17s have ~40% less loot because they dont have it

stoic horizon
lilac parcel
#

where can i find out which maps drop fortress? map t17

#

i wanna farm some

stoic horizon
#

its a very nice early game package, for juiced builds usually he is outclassed but for start he is amazing

pulsar dune

hold alt on the atlas

mapsofexile has it actually

#

probably more helpful

one that i can actualy see?

brazen vector
#

Other party members? Those exist?

agile epoch
stoic horizon
#

generally if you want a "support" build that also does something on its own, literally just play any build that uses same auras/curses or other buffs as the other person in party

agile epoch
#

Just preparing them for poe2

stoic horizon
#

just relying on chill isnt really a support build

agile epoch
#

But i dont want to stat check

stoic horizon
#

this whole game is one big stat check

#

although its true that with skill you can do stuff less geared than others

agile epoch
#

I know. But Im thinking its possible if we just try to lean into other things

stoic horizon
#

although that mostly applies to bosses not regular content

agile epoch
#

I mean 99% of the playerbase want the aoe clearing of screens with a button for speed running. Id like to attempt something else

No?

elder marlin

Its for any kind of build in the game

If I was to try to reach for stun and perhaps dex casting

You can be a curse support or a warcry support or an aurabot or a freeze support, stuff like that

brazen vector

Dex casting?

agile epoch
finite quail

Trying to be multiple things often turns into your build just not working

finite quail
agile epoch
finite quail
#

And you're near stun nodes

#

And you're not made of paper, aka scion

stoic horizon

yeah basically only melee can stun reliably

and not all

you don't really do spells and stun at the same time

stoic horizon

  • stun does close to nothing on bosses

offtopic but thats not how version numbers work

agile epoch
finite quail
#

Boneshatter too yeah

steady elk
#

are you trying to buildcraft with little to no experience in the game?

elder marlin
stoic horizon
elder marlin
#

actually only ground slam and heavy slam

steady elk
#

we all were

brazen vector
#

Whenever a player or monster is hit, there is a chance they will be stunned. A stun interrupts whatever that creature was doing while a brief animation is played.

stoic horizon
#

i did some wonky crap and had issues as soon as i hit maps

steady elk
#

likewise

finite quail
#

You could way more reliably focus on cold damage to chill/freeze enemies for "hard cc" compared to stunning enemies

agile epoch
stoic horizon
#

far more than that trust me

steady elk
#

far more than that buddy

finite quail
elder marlin
finite quail
#

You're missing a little more than item knowledge

steady elk
#

my second character is a boneshatter of complex trauma jugg and my experience in the game become 100x better just following someone else's guides

#

i did the whole wing it and buildcraft thing on my 1st and it didn't get very far with sunder berzerker

#

was struggling with t4s

agile epoch
#

I dont enjoy guides. But I dont mind discussing preferences

elder marlin
#

people who play decided to play scion r either multi mirrors owner or people who dont know what to focus on

stoic horizon
#

also one thing new players misunderstand about guides is that you arent exactly just doing a clone of some other person's character, you follow guidelines on whats good and not and adapt to what you can get and your personal preferences

steady elk
#

unfortunately poe1 is one of those games where you gotta let the the 10k + hours players write the guides and follow theirs at the start

finite quail
agile epoch
#

Well there are no guides for what im attempting, cause its not really what people usually are looking for

finite quail
#

Trust me, it'll feel better to play and it'll be more fun

stoic horizon
#

ive been playing this game for 9 years and im yet to make a truly my own build that is successful

agile epoch
#

But sorta want to broaden it

elder marlin
agile epoch
normal hedge
#

if u're planning ur build around freeze at least do a warden

stoic horizon
#

freezing is just a thing cold dmg based builds do thats it

#

its a part of the build not whole point of it

elder marlin
elder marlin
finite quail
elder marlin
#

witness my very tanky cod portal

finite quail
#

I mean

brazen vector
#

Oh right, cold crits cant stun

finite quail
#

What you're thinking of is a scion speccing into freeze and stun, with no critical strikes

#

You have zero damage, zero survivability, and you're speccing into two things which dont work well together in the first place

#

If you wanna bash your head against the wall with something we're recommending you don't try with in the first place, be my guest

#

But I wouldn't bother, because it'll just taint your experience of the game, trust me

elder marlin
#

play a bosser for mapping

agile epoch
#

Ok so no stuns and no auras

#

Guess theres little else to it

elder marlin
brazen vector
#

Why no auras

finite quail
#

Once again, I recommend to just spec into cold damage for chilling/freezing

agile epoch
#

Playing a scion

brazen vector
#

Auras are the biggest utility and scion is the best for it in a sense

empty verge
#

sad fact is there's not really a whole lot of utility you can actually provide outside of auras

finite quail
#

You can also get sources of reduced movement speed like hinder or maim, temporal chains for less action speed, maybe aspect of the spider? dunno if that lowers action speed

agile epoch
#

Crit with low dmg might do

elder marlin
finite quail
agile epoch
#

Not sure how it works with high cast speeds

finite quail
#

You need to deal a certain threshold of an enemies life for them to be stunned

brazen vector
#

Whenever a player or monster is hit, there is a chance they will be stunned. A stun interrupts whatever that creature was doing while a brief animation is played.

finite quail
#

What are you gonna do if your hits just tickle them

agile epoch
#

No? Somebody said frost crits could stun

agile epoch
empty verge
#

they can stun IF you remove their ability to freeze

finite quail
#

We said they dont stun, not under normal conditions

agile epoch
#

Defenses i guess

brazen vector
finite quail
#

Also in order to stun anyways, you still need to deal enough damage

#

Big bonk = me stunned

#

small bonk = me not stunned

elder marlin
stoic horizon
#

thats why melee is better at stunning

#

slow big hits

agile epoch
#

Yeah dont want that

finite quail
#

I guess you could do something ranged

elder marlin
finite quail
#

A scion with bows with ice shot and ensnaring arrow?

#

For support?

#

I guess

agile epoch
#

Close enough

finite quail
#

It should work if what you're trying to do is slow enemies down

brazen vector
#

Why not go temp chain blasphemy and scale temp chain

finite quail
#

You're not gonna be able to do it very reliably because the concept itself doesn't work very well, but thats what I'd do if I were you

finite quail
stoic horizon
brazen vector
#

But thats an aura ch_nerd

elder marlin
#

poe is all abt commitment, so commit to smt

finite quail
#

temp chains is a curse

agile epoch
empty verge
#

moreso that you don't have to go from 0.9 to 1.0, they can absolutely get to like 0.15 or something and means something quite different from normal decimal numbers

brazen vector
empty verge
#

hence why current league is 3.27 for example

finite quail
brazen vector
elder marlin
finite quail
#

Also you're thinking of solstice vigil

empty verge
agile epoch
#

Well I just got home. Will give it a run for the money. Thanks

finite quail
#

Oh nvm impresence also has a temp chains mod

#

since there's this

elder marlin
steady elk
#

holy christ bros im suffering from no currency tab

#

when does next league start?

#

im praying that the league packs are better than this garbage so i can buy dat shit

finite quail
#

the phrecia rerun starts in about a week

#

and lasts for about 3 weeks

#

You know what phrecia is?

steady elk
#

MAN

#

terrible news for stashcels

elder marlin
finite quail
#

leagues have nothing to do with stash tab sales

#

stash tabs always go on sale from time to time

elder marlin
finite quail
#

Every two weeks normally

steady elk
#

no but i figured that if i spend money on this game im gonna get some decent outfits and the tabs themselves

finite quail
steady elk
#

unfortunate value for money comes from the league packs and i really dislike the current ones

finite quail
#

for 3.28

#

You could get the first blood pack

#

gives you like 200 points for 20 bucks and like, 6 stash tabs or something? and a couple effects

#

Oh no my bad

#

one additional stash tab

steady elk
#

it's not a bad deal but i figured that if i buy a supporter pack i would get a fair bit more points to spend on mtx

finite quail
#

Then yeah

#

3.28 in early march it is

steady elk
#

😔

elder marlin
#

ideally improve the phys max hit

finite quail
#

You're kinda stacked already

#

Lemme check

ocean field
#

anyone knows how to reduce the cost of bladefall of trathus when using energy shield or ways to mitigate it

finite quail
#

I guess

elder marlin
finite quail
#

Yeahhhh

sleek barn
#

its the easiest way to sustain it

#

but if you have MoM as well you need leech or ES on hit

hexed mountain
#

you can do inner conviction

#

wait that's not the one i meant , its power charge

#

power of purpose

#

to make the cost a lot lower

#

and then have sources of flat regen

eager lion
split maple
#

idk 5 overlaps kinda dont sound reasonable to me

#

maybe 2-3

finite quail
#

why do you have 15 ballistas

pulsar dune
#

It's overlaps * ballista count

split maple
#

obviously each of balistas hits very large enemy 5x kek

#

but yea 5 would be reasonable if krain looked like in preleague reveal

finite quail
#

Ah

split maple
#

but it was prenerfed so kinda 2-3 maybe

finite quail
#

I fogor its kinetic rain of impact

eager lion
#

Ty, so legit POB

split maple
#

just divide dmg by 2

#

still looks reasonable

finite quail
#

Ehhhhh

#

I guess

#

Sure

frigid wedge
#

its still bullshit that kr got a Trans gem before it even dropped

pulsar dune
#

The wand needing accuracy suffix is a bit scary

#

But it'll be fine

tranquil sedge
#

now u can farm and push ur build to wherever u like

#

and more importantly you can do this again on your own when next league starts, now that you've done it once

steady elk
#

But I'm clueless when it comes to crafting

#

No idea where to start with that either

#

Or what all these explicit implicit stuff means

stoic horizon
tranquil sedge
#

u learn with time

#

much more chill process than trying to read a manual on crafting

stoic horizon
#

i remember +3 bows introducing me to crafting

tranquil sedge
#

oh i need these boots hmm can i make them okay lets try

stoic horizon
#

back when ea was meta starter

tranquil sedge
#

and maybe u fuck up maybe u spend more than it costs on trade who cares

#

u learn

steady elk
#

The basic stuff like links and slots I get but outside of that it's all jargon

stoic horizon
#

generally all the complex crafting stuff is about knowing how to increase changes of getting what you want the most

#

all the mod blocking etc

tranquil sedge
#

when i say casual gear

#

i mean things u can accomplish with simple methods

#

fracture + essence spam + maybe a bit of harvest or even a wild veiled chaos maybe

hexed mountain
#

recomb gaming

tranquil sedge
#

then u can introduce eldritch crafting to the mix and now u got more fun stuff

#

most gear is simple to make if u just learn how to think about it

#

thats pretty much what people need to know when learning to craft

#

u dont learn to craft every single item in the game

#

u just learn how to approach trying to make an item

hexed mountain
#

its a shame its keeper league base for the event because you can craft super good mamba weapons for very cheap since the change to resistances on weapons

tranquil sedge
#

and then u work it out with the tools u got

#

like for example

hexed mountain
#

but i'm not running mamba for hives

tranquil sedge
#

say u wanted to make this pretty nice body armor

#

theres 5 mods and 1 crafted mod for a total of 6

#

'how would i make this?'

steady elk
#

mind implodes

hexed mountain
#

the humble single socket resonator: bla

stoic horizon
#

i want to try energy blade abusing this time

steady elk
#

im get what you're saying but at the same time it's not going into my head kek

tranquil sedge
#

its not that difficult i'll literally talk you through this one

stoic horizon
#

since es gear is so ez with tree

tranquil sedge
#

just see the steps for this item

hexed mountain
#

yeah didnt end up doing an ES build but tree gaves me several T1 ES fractured gear

tranquil sedge
#

i know i want dex, chaos res, those 3 defence prefixes, and crafted finally that 6% mod

hexed mountain
#

its nuts

tranquil sedge
#

well my crafted mod is a suffix

#

rare items can have 3 prefix 3 suffix

#

well if i finish one side first maybe the other is easier?

#

okay so lets do the side that has more first then

#

prefixes

stoic horizon
#

i did use es on my build but only for defenses

tranquil sedge
#

all 3 prefixes are defensive prefixes

#

they just add es and armor and stuff

stoic horizon
#

and eblade looks damn busted

tranquil sedge
#

they're all also 'tagged' as 'defence'

#

now from experience i know that dense fossils are really good at defence mods

#

what if i just spam those

#

turns out the odds are good enough to go for it

#

BUT fossils reroll the entire item

#

so if i did suffixes first it would be pointless

#

so prefixes it is

#

but im gonna put eldritch implicits on the item anyway right

#

it would be that means fracture is allowed

stoic horizon
#

ngl its prefixes-> suffixes most of the time

hexed mountain
#

tbh dense fossil spamm is just the cheapest unless you recomb

split maple
tranquil sedge
#

why not make life easier if i could maybe LOCK one suffix in place

#

right from the start

wispy comet
#

i really hope they end up extending the event

umbral crag
#

@split maple @opaque sphinx https://pobb.in/BimDlj-ZGkkh fixed some of the stats like chest corrupt and the flask ele resist, changed the graft kek

tranquil sedge
#

thats what i did with dexterity

#

fracture dex, so its stuck on the item for good

#

now one suffix is immediately done

hexed mountain
tranquil sedge
#

then i spammed fossils for all 3 prefixes

hexed mountain
tranquil sedge
#

so now 4 mods are done

#

finally i want chaos res, and its a classic crafting tool to just reforge chaos (harvest bench) to get chaos res

#

but i wanna save my prefixes

tranquil sedge
#

so 'lock prefixes' reforge chaos, i got good odds of hitting the chaos res i want

#

and if i lose the odds well no big deal its an eldritch item

#

i can infinitely keep retrying

split maple
#

you missing anoint on that chest @umbral crag UHM

finite quail
umbral crag
tranquil sedge
#

so that sounds like a lot but its literally just

  • fracture dex
  • dense fossil spam prefix
  • lock prefix reforge chaos suffix
  • finish with bench mod
sleek barn
#

fireball of balling

tranquil sedge
#

and now that u made this one item guess what

sleek barn
#

just does what the old threshold jewel does

tranquil sedge
#

its the same to make a shitton of body armors

frigid wedge
sleek barn
#

increases radius as it travels

frigid wedge
#

1% proj speed

tranquil sedge
#

what if i wanted an essence mod suffix instead of the dexterity

#

cool i fracture that instead

frigid wedge
#

hits multiple times

#

per second

tranquil sedge
#

what if i wanted energy shield armor instead of evasion

frigid wedge
#

like spark

tranquil sedge
#

same steps, new base

#

what if i wanted to make a HELMET with the same mods

#

turns out its the same process

sleek barn
#

fireball that ignores immunity frames

tranquil sedge
#

like
this is just a gradual application of simple steps

#

make one item and u feel more confident in making more

#

u only have a limited set of tools and u just apply them in different ways

#

most basic gear could literally just be fracture one mod, essence spam (second mod) until you hit a third mod or even fourth mod, then finish with a benchcraft

takes maybe 10 minutes to explain as a new player

#

and then it goes up from there

steady elk
tranquil sedge
finite quail
tranquil sedge
#

you identify which side to do first

#

and even that is kinda straightforward sometimes

#

like for example if you see a non-fractured essence mod? yea they started that side

#

or if you see a fractured essence mod? maybe they deliberately did that so they could start on the other side

#

just try making random gear on ur own for your own builds

#

and if ur too broke in game to do it that isn't a problem

#

just do it online for free

#

practice in the emulator there

#

infinite currency simulator

hexed mountain
#

need to see what they change on architect , vaal skills league maybe...

sleek barn
#

i think funny thing to craft as a beginner is a +2 minion wand

#

theres not much to it

#

just four fossils and a dream

tranquil sedge
#

its definitely a funny item to make yea 😄

pliant hamlet
wheat sinew
#

probs but trade

#

might do like 1 week or smth

finite quail
#

I'm gonna play the FUCK out of phrecia

wheat sinew
#

hbu

pliant hamlet
#

I'm debating between trade and ssf

finite quail
#

God I hope they add it to private leagues this time

#

But like, keep it

tranquil sedge
#

in phrecia?

wheat sinew
#

icl I might even skip it

finite quail
wheat sinew
#

cuz got some irl stuff

tranquil sedge
#

unless ur an ssf junkie, if you're planning to play phrecia, just go trade

finite quail
#

idols in ssf are aids

wheat sinew
hexed mountain
#

skipping SSF for once just because of the herald ring , i dont want to get turbo RNGed

#

since its short

tranquil sedge
#

its so short ^

pliant hamlet
#

herald ring felt super farmable

tranquil sedge
#

thats why

steady elk
wheat sinew
steady elk
#

i love third party tools

hexed mountain
#

ofc , i farmed it in SSF keepers

wheat sinew
#

someone did 500 runs, they got 5 complete sets

pliant hamlet
#

I've farmed like...6 herald rings?

tranquil sedge
#

i can't tell if thats sarcasm lmao

steady elk
#

im a eve online refugee and we loved our tools

tranquil sedge
#

oh

hexed mountain
#

but in a 3 weeks league

wheat sinew
tranquil sedge
#

definitely not sarcasm then

pliant hamlet
#

wtf

hexed mountain
#

you could very well get trolled by rng

pliant hamlet
#

500 is insane lol

tranquil sedge
pliant hamlet
#

Are one of the rings super rare?

hexed mountain
#

nah

wheat sinew
#

tul

#

that's about it

pliant hamlet
#

yeah tul did feel rare

hexed mountain
#

its pure rng

pliant hamlet
#

I think I have 10 of each ring atm in our gsf

#

and 0 tuls

wheat sinew
#

yeee but it's weird that everyone just has a shortage of tul aint it

#

xd

steady elk
hexed mountain
#

didnt feel like one was more rare

pliant hamlet
#

Tul 100% was more rare for us

#

I was our boss runner

steady elk
#

that PC we discussed me buying was actually funded by selling my eve account

tranquil sedge
#

craft of exile has 3 main sections as far as most people are concerned

  • calculator to see odds of any particular crafting step/outcome
  • emulator to emulate crafting for fun
  • simulator to set up a crafting process and see all the outcomes and success rates
split maple
wheat sinew
#

kek I also ran breach like an insane person for my xoph jewel

wheat sinew

xdddd

hexed mountain
#

i stopped doing the glands after having 2 of each in case i wanted a build with them + a scourge ring so 3 of each

pliant hamlet
#

haha yeah you did

steady elk
#

well i didn't sell my eve acc directly just the currency i had stacked up

#

but ye

pliant hamlet
#

it's a very good 42-70 ring tbf

hexed mountain
#

yeah in group

tranquil sedge
#

(dont do that in poe though)

#

(rmt is a no-no)

hexed mountain
#

in SSF i just yoinked it

pliant hamlet
#

yeah fair

#

I was farming grey wind

#

I wanted a perfect one

#

I ended up getting 2 and then irl happened and had to take a break lol

split maple
#

cba to run glands just for double corrupts

hexed mountain
#

got abysmall RNG for the penance helm this league sadly

split maple
#

corrupted 2, didnt hit shit and stoped bothering

pliant hamlet
#

I had bonkers rng for penance helm lol

hexed mountain
#

ended up making a dominating blow helm by pure rng and just decided to keep it

steady elk
# tranquil sedge (rmt is a no-no)

RMT's a no no in almost every game but don't worry i only did that because i got sick of the game and the devs screwing me over and would rather the money than logging in pissed all the time

wheat sinew
#

xd

ocean field
#

how to enter increase damage taken by enemies in pob

sleek barn
#

what the hell is a dom blow helm

ocean field
#

in config

hexed mountain
#

like +3 attack crit 25 immolate 30% more ele minion damage and +4 levels

wheat sinew
#

iksy I still haven't finished my sword

pliant hamlet

F

sleek barn
#

oh is traditional dom blow elemental damage

#

thats interesting

split maple
tranquil sedge

I'ma have less time this league, I probably should just play trade

hexed mountain
#

you can turn it elemental with the gloves

ocean field
#

gng how to enter increase damage taken by enemies in pob in config

hexed mountain
#

its just that level 25 immolate is a LOT of flat

sleek barn
#

true

#

i do think that i should've went hit based

pulsar dune
#

Dual strike grey wind ignite behemoth

sleek barn
#

oh well

sleek barn
#

you get qol from paying though

#

so ig its not

wheat sinew
#

@pliant hamlet join trade for phrecia for a fun short time

sleek barn
#

its debateable

wheat sinew
#

also gonna look at this screenshot and cry every time

tranquil sedge
pliant hamlet
#

It's a $20-$50 game with an amazing f2p trial

tranquil sedge
#

so i prefer thinking of it personally as free-to-try-until-you-buy

#

^ yea except its more like $30 to start imo

pliant hamlet
#

I don't really think the game is enjoyable before you pick up a $30 pack and the first blood pack

tranquil sedge
#

like campaign for certain requires zero commitment

sleek barn
#

tbf acts 1-10 are great

tranquil sedge
#

and that takes like 10-20h or more for a new player

#

if ur still interested in poe after that its just paying the price of the game

#

and if not well u didnt spend anything

pliant hamlet
#

I don't think any newbie has ever beat campaign in 10h tbh lol

sleek barn
#

its a good trial

sleek barn
#

i prefer it to warframe or destiny

pliant hamlet
#

It's more like 20h to 40h

steady elk
#

im currently holding off on buying any points till next league's packs come out

pliant hamlet
#

sometimes more

#

Which blew my mind when I started seeing the newbie reddit posts. One a couple days ago was 61h in act 7 or 8

tranquil sedge
tranquil sedge
#

safe bet they probably like the game lmao

pliant hamlet
#

haha yeah

tranquil sedge
#

which is funny in its own way

pliant hamlet
#

Tbf, I get it - I've got 80hs in grim dawn and I never got past act 1

#

testing shit out, modding, tweaking stuff, fucking around with friends in disco, etc

steady elk
#

crazy

#

my second character i finished the acts in 18 hours

tranquil sedge
#

i forget how to do this

tranquil sedge
#

gonna play it after that

#

and delaying last epoch for a couple years at least

pliant hamlet
#

watching LE go from overwhelmingly positive to mostly negative hurts to see

tranquil sedge
#

and titan quest 2 is a no no until it leaves early access and even after depends on content release timeline

split maple
#

this should work, no?

tranquil sedge
#

yea that works i guess

pliant hamlet
#

I wonder if they have any say or it's a publisher thing or the studio's struggling or something idk

tranquil sedge
#

@ocean field try that

wheat sinew
#

@pliant hamlet

#

IT HAPPENED

ocean field
#

ah thanks

that would almost be mirror tier right

#

if u actually hit t1 str

stoic horizon

and first time i finished campaign was on BV + cyclone (old) chieftain and i couldnt do maps

or is t1 aps required for that on that particular type of sword

it was either this or one where the endurance charges was something else, i forget

ouch

pulsar dune

What would a non-osin one look like

tranquil sedge
#

i ended up f/f gore dancer for 30% instant life leech instead

pliant hamlet

The one sokra has

#

You wouldn't go synth for non-osin

split maple
tranquil sedge
#

yep

#

and a couple of my jewels had 2 mana on hit i think

#

it wasn't a very great solution but it kinda worked

#

so i went with it

pliant hamlet

isn't explody phys dmg?

pulsar dune
pliant hamlet

yea

tranquil sedge

And if you convert them you still have no inc

Nothing in between

tranquil sedge
pliant hamlet

Hey sokra, How many jewels did you make again to hit the 1/3?

tranquil sedge
#

then why were people mirroring explode swords

pliant hamlet
#

osin I assume?

wheat sinew
#

to compensate

tranquil sedge
#

but osin only converts ele damage to chaos

wheat sinew
#

lemme send my shitty pob

cuz my helical is int + res

pliant hamlet

hmm, Not sure then ScuffThink different build?
