finite quail
#

Oh shit that one, I forgot

pliant hamlet
#

210% w/o using flask clusters

#

300% is doable probably

opaque sphinx
#

flask cluster dont add a ton

pliant hamlet
#

would need to use 2 progenesis though

#

and you lose 70% if you don't use enkindling

finite quail
#

wdym 2 progenesis

#

the effects of duplicate flasks dont stack

pliant hamlet
#

...you use 2 for 100% uptime

finite quail
#

do you mean for the

#

ah, I guessed as much

Ultimatum was cash in settlers hope its not nerfed

What is indigo even doing

#

I dont understand

#

Spelll dmg ?

#

pliant hamlet
#

I assume it has something to do with anomalous mana leech

finite quail
pliant hamlet
#

you broke it

finite quail
#

i dont think it likes howlcrack and the recover 15% life on warcy mastery

#

and autoexert

pliant hamlet
#

oh howcrack + autoexert breaks it

finite quail
#

oh true

pliant hamlet
#

it's how poe ninja peeps hit inf dps

#

when it came out

finite quail
#

agh

#

That means no foulborn uul netols kiss

#

its cdr

#

fuhhhh

pliant hamlet
# plush gulch What is indigo even doing

Thanks to anomalous mana leech every 200 mana spent in the last 4 seconds 11% increased damage is gained (this is uncapped and not restricted to spells like indigon)

#

it's to increase the mana cost

#

he's not using the spell damage aspect at all

plush gulch
#

Thats insane

pliant hamlet
#

since he's using mana recoup

#

and he's dealing infinite damage to himself

plush gulch
#

Why is it gone

#

Sadge

pliant hamlet
#

I mean, 3000% inc damage w/o investment probably wasn't okay

Protip: Click an atlas mastery icon

pliant hamlet
#

Woah

#

Why doesn't every atlas tree have this 👀

#

I love this lol

golden phoenix
#

Because it took me months of optimization and struggle to make it run fast enough with few enough errors kek

pliant hamlet
#

My new atlas tree website 😄

#

hahah Fair enough

#

Thank you for your hard work :3

golden phoenix
#

It's a javascript based minimum Steiner tree solver specialized for PoE trees meant to run in under a second in a browser, that's not as easy as some would think

pliant hamlet
#

I'm learning how to make boids and I'm so out of my depth, I don't even know what a steiner tree solver is 😄

golden phoenix
#

Big graph, many nodes. Want some nodes. Smallest tree to connect wanted nodes good.

what's a good spell for elementalist ignite prolif?

#

I'm thinking about arc

#

with flameblast for single target I guess

tight plinth
#

im partial to woc

#

but ive seen people do arc

livid quarry
#

i have never made my own atlas tree

#

dont farm enough to test them

pliant hamlet
#

That's what I'd look into for seeing what potential ignite builds are around

tight plinth

he gonna see a bunch of eviscerate kek

#

hey y'all, looking at this jugg int/acc stacker, surprised I'm not seeing a stormshroud + shock avoid flask + mageblood setup. Is there a reason an int/acc jugg might not want ele ailment immune?

if i only ran 500 maps a league and i tested with 100

is there even a league mechanic thats net negative to run?

livid quarry
livid quarry

not theory actually happened

tight plinth
#

like which?

livid quarry
#

i know from necro floris tried some beast

candid moon
#

Bigger variance is in scarabs or mechs themselves than the atlas. You generally only want to get quant/pack size stuff and the mech nodes themselves

livid quarry
#

and ended up nega

pliant hamlet
#

If you alch n go, everythings profitable.
If you start using expensive scarabs...you need to optimize

candid moon
#

Like, most trees will look very similar in function

tight plinth
#

my strat sometimes isnt even alching, just go kek

pliant hamlet
#

lol

livid quarry
#

yeah i do know most trees look similar

#

and then sometimes they are abusing bugs

pliant hamlet
#

Do things that other people aren't doing
or just do what you enjoy

tight plinth
#

my strat this league was running normal maps, but i did have scarabs. pretty profitable

golden phoenix
#

Surely there's no bug abuse here.

in affliction there was teh abyss spire

Unless it was new to post settlers leagues

im js i aint studious so i aint risking my time testing farming methods

candid moon
livid quarry
#

yea

#

was that a bug? bc it was changed

opaque sphinx
#

nah

#

just unintended

pliant hamlet
#

Were spires even profitable after the first few days? I remember t0s being so cheap when I checked trade

opaque sphinx
#

yes

#

spires were good not from rarity or anything like that

candid moon
#

Lots of people got their first mirrors in it so probs profitable lol

opaque sphinx
#

but because the wildwood extra proj applied to their pits

lean urchin
#

charms were the real money, got myself 300d charm very fast

pliant hamlet

I bet oils and beasts sold like hotcakes

so they added toooooooooooooooooons mobs

hey chat

#

do any of the phrecia ascendancies have anything for flask uptime?

opaque sphinx
#

i played poison blade trap cuz it was immortal and cheap

pliant hamlet
#

I'd definitely not make any plans around mods like that

#

I'm waiting for patch notes lol

opaque sphinx
#

needed something that wouldnt die if i couldnt press buttons for 10 secs due to -12 fps

pliant hamlet
#

I just played CWS

#

because it was immortal

hexed mountain
#

Going off screen to have fps

pliant hamlet
#

and lag spikes on kill were real

opaque sphinx
#

mhmm

pliant hamlet
#

loot was a bit worse because I couldn't control damage

#

but it's the easiest ssf build to make immortal

#

or well functionally immortal at least

you cant craft unidentified items right?

pseudo axle

#

like you cant vaal orb an unidentified map

pseudo axle
#

I think ggg is getting away from 'unidentified' as a thing being important in the game

#

its a vestigial mechanic

empty bronze
#

i understand why you cant alch unidentified items, though it would be funny if you could

empty bronze
#

just let people make loot filters based on affixes

pseudo axle
#

also strongboxes are like a tier-zero farming strategy this league

#

they don't really need a quant boost

hard cliff
#

I think you can vaal orb an unided map

empty bronze
#

tbh i have no idea how good/bad any mechanics are right now

pseudo axle
#

no offense, while I don't see any problem with you speculating on cool mechanics, it -is- beneficial to understand what is good, and why it is good

empty bronze
pseudo axle
#

presumably but I think the corrupted keystone is bad iirc

hard cliff
#

Who tf wants to run random atlas keystones tho

maybe something like unidentified maps get rerolled into a different map of the same tier and some other bonus?

The hiero node is a lot better tbh

what makes a rare beast 'bad'? i thought any rare beast can be used in beast crafting recipes so why do the beast farming strats use regex to delete beasts?

red beasts can only be used for one specific recipe

if that recipe is bad then people don't want it

and it has no value

that's indeed just pob

#

what's wrong with the flasks btw?

steady elk
#

and at the moment im flat out of orbs lmao

hard cliff
#

They have no mods on them

#

get the maximum level of granite flask and hit it with one of them makes it blue orbs

#

and then keep smashing alteration orbs on it till you get a mod that sounds good and keep it

#

or if it's got room for one more hit it with the one more orb

#

and then decide to keep

#

I don't think ignore phys damage on tincture flask does anything for you but I could be wrong

Orb of Transmutation on your flask --->Orb of Alteration

You get better experience for killing more difficult monsters!

Edit, just to clarify - while this is true it was meant as a joke and not as a rude/flippant comment 🙂

Second edit: It's sometimes useful to grind zones even if your level is higher, if you can do it faster and/or get good loot. Like Tabula from Blood Aquaducts

you'd level up faster playing the game than asking to be levelled up by someone

Does the Snipe skill fire multiple skills in a fan shape or a point?

potent bramble

I thought it was based on how you're getting multiple proj? Like I have a memory that LMP/GMP both specifically say the shape, whereas something like volley says it'll be parallel

fickle glen
potent bramble
#

I think if you aren't getting multi proj, then it works like barrage where it just shoots 'em all in a line, yeah

I would test it though, I'm not certain

should be easy to test, if you have a supreme ostentation character you can use any old bow lying around

Also, does the damage of skills split between the amount of projectiles that Snipe can fire?

pseudo axle
#

anything that is a loot seeking missile is a-okay in my book

#

or are you using snipe as a support gem

potent bramble

Fairly confident that multiple projectiles deal full damage independently - unless the skill specifically says it'll be divided

only certain skills shotgun

kindred silo
#

that is why bows are so good for clear

fickle glen
pseudo axle
#

bows aren't good for clear because of shotgunning per se

shotgunning is a specific behavior

bows are great because they have enormous clear range and speed

a single la shot can hit multiple times with the lightning portion of the attack

#

same with ele hit and ice shot

pseudo axle
#

thats because those skills have aoe explosions attached

#

the projectiles themselves do not multi-hit a single foe

#

only the explosions can overlap

fickle glen
pseudo axle
#

I literally said earlier only certain skills shotgun

#

skills only 'shotgun' with projectiles if they either fire a bunch of arrows in a single attack sequentially, or if they have some kind of weird gimmick, i.e. spectral helix

#

link bork

#

weird okay I guess it doesn't like the ' in the title

#

so lightning arrow 'sort of' shotguns

potent bramble
pseudo axle
#

yes barrage does multi-hit

#

think of it this way

fickle glen
#

Barrage is more like a burst rifle it’s not shotgun

pseudo axle
#

jesus people

#

path of exile has specific nomenclature

#

I didn't invent it

#

but it exists

potent bramble
#

No I know, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying the term feels weird to me because what I imagine and what's real aren't the same

fickle glen
#

How the F large foes can’t get shotgunned by fan shape attack from multiple projectiles

pseudo axle
#

because the game literally is designed to prevent that on most skills because it is too overpowered

#

it has been designed that way for over a decade

#

there are skills that are exceptions and they're usually quite good

fickle glen
#

Snipe suddenly became trash. Ty for the info boys

golden phoenix
#

It's an interesting challenge to design a game to be both believable and playable. So many games fall apart if you think too much about the mechanics of what's happening in the world

pseudo axle
#

snipe is good!

#

like brother you're jumping to the wrong conclusions way too quickly

night bone
#

Kinetic Fusilade is shotgun-esque

potent bramble
#

A single attack can only hit an enemy once, unless it specifically say otherwise. Which makes total sense from a balance perspective

*Unless I'm misunderstanding things

at least, it feels like it if you build it right

"Sequential projectiles are unaffected by shotgun prevention. Projectiles fired in sequence like Ice Spear, Vaal Fireball, or skills supported by Barrage Support can all collide with the same enemy. (Non-sequential projectiles created by e.g. Forking or Splitting are affected normally.)"

If a skill goes [12345] instead of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] it gets shotgun preventioned

fickle glen
#

Huh? What for?

pseudo axle
#

oh man they're all totem builds lmao

pseudo axle
# fickle glen Huh? What for?

brother do you want ideas for your build or not, poe ninja literally takes all the top profiles in the game and displays their character info

#

so you can get ideas on what top players are doing and why

fickle glen
#

Yeah idk why totem builds are all for explosive arrows, I like to fire the thing from my bow 😐

pseudo axle
#

because totems do it better presumably

#

I guess if you're intentionally playing an off-meta build then ninja isn't great

potent bramble
#

Because EA Ballista is crazy strong

pseudo axle
#

but if you're trying to get better at the game then poe ninja is a good resource

potent bramble
#

IIRC the arrow sticks, then explodes after a duration. The more arrows stuck, the more damage done in the explosion. 4 or 5 turrets means 4 or 5x the arrows in the target, means a huge amount of damage scaling compared to trying to do it yourself

#

Plus it's easier to summon the totem and then move, avoiding being attacked, vs trying to stand and fight and run all at the same time

pseudo axle
#

I always feel awkward trying to give people help for precisely the reactions I'm getting to my advice. Path of Exile is a stupidly complicated game and the sooner you accept that you have no idea what you're doing until you take the time to in-depth study the materials available, the sooner you'll get that much better.

#

that's not me trying to be elitist or whatever, its just like, hard, incontrovertible fact.

#

I think everyone runs into this at some point or later and they have to make a choice about the time vs knowledge investment they want to give the game

#

I was in your shoes once back in 2017 with my first league.

potent bramble
# pseudo axle I think everyone runs into this at some point or later and they have to make a c...

I think that's a huge thing in general with games, but especially in a game like this. If a player wants to do something that isn't commonly done, there's going to be a reason why it's not common - either it's been tried and it's not good, in which case the player has to go into it understanding they'll have a harder time compared to a player who's on-meta. Or it's not common because nobody's really tried it. In which case they're going to struggle to find any solid information on how well the thing they're trying works

And either way, choosing to go off-meta is choosing to walk a more difficult path

fickle glen

# golden phoenix Tbf that's why many of us love the game too.

100%. I usually run an established build or two to start the league, because competitive economic power and all that, but the most fun I have is trying to make janky, unwise things function as less janky (though often still unwise) things. I will find a way to do some sort of Poison Proliferation & Cyclone combo 😄

golden phoenix
#

I play in private leagues so I've never felt the need to compete economically. I league start jank stuff all the time.

pseudo axle
#

On the other hand, you're asking the wrong questions because you are starting off false assumptions

#

which is not good

night bone
#

competing economically while also killing shit (no hideout warrioring) is the most fun part of the game to me

fickle glen
#

You guys are sweet trying to give me meta builds but I am really picky is all

pseudo axle
#

yeah I couldn't play this game without trade league

#

I'm not trying to give you a meta build.

tranquil sedge
#

realizing you can compete economically even if ur playing non-meta farms and builds is the real game changer kek

as long as ur expectations are somewhat realistic pretty much anyone with some time to play could farm a few mirrors a league

I kind of wish they would remove gold, farming, and hirellings from Kingsmarch and then make it so metals auto-smelt and all rewards come from shipping metals. Then move mappers and recombinating to other mechanics.

just for the mobs/effects they add to the map instead

pseudo axle
#

like kingsmarch is completely fine

#

its a very lucrative and relatively straightforward mechanic

#

comparatively quite easy with almost everyting else in the game if you can sustain gold costs

tranquil sedge
#

only reasons im okay with kingsmarch in its current state (again, okay, not happy) is because priority is shippers > mappers and gold is easy enough to upkeep for shippers with relatively little effort

pseudo axle
#

to be clear I can sustain gold costs, I was just low on gold when I started trading and that was making me mad af

tranquil sedge
#

i objectively still dislike kingsmarch tho because of its mobile-game type gameplay

#

i dont like time outside game to influence my in-game progress

pseudo axle
#

I'd be inclined to agree with that

#

however

tranquil sedge
#

i dont like that mappers take real time to complete even when im not playing the game

i dont like that gold is consumed when not playing

shipments run when not playing

Just needs smh else to fill that niche

economically and drop-wise its fucking great

for both trade and ssf

potent bramble

I actually felt like it took a lot of the pressure off of playing so much, b/c you can just set it and step away for a week if you need to. And if you don't want to spend the gold, you just pull it out of town and/or unassign your workers

tranquil sedge

Oh for sure, if you lean into it it would deff lessen the overall game. I was thinking more in the sense how I went to Florida for a couple days just before Christmas, to see my Grandfather for his 90th. It was nice to be able to set up and then know that it'd be good for the few days while I was away

And moreover, I didn't feel like I was putting myself at a disadvantage by just being out of game for that time
