buff selfcast pls ggg

#

thank u

steel light
#

are these worth doing?

hexed mountain
#

it is squishy , but on KF tinctures you get like 3x damage from your two tinctures together and then oath of spring gives you basically double damage

opal ingot
#

cobalt blade
#

readd reduced cost flask pls and that's good enough to make a broken sparker

fossil mural
#

The big ones alch until 5-6 mods then vaal

cobalt blade
steel light
#

are the lv84 easy or do i need to read up?

hexed mountain
#

and if you do a pure lightning setup oath of spring replica heatshiver goes even harder

soft perch
#

i hope ggg stops being so scared of mana regen

#

and just buffs it

karmic gust
#

they cant readd reduced costflask until they nerf mageblood

cobalt blade
#

its basically identical to quest version

soft perch
#

since all indigon builds just ignore regen anyway

cobalt blade
#

just a bit tankier

soft perch
#

and are built around leech

steel light
#

ok thanks

hexed mountain
soft perch
#

itd be nice to play spells and just, regen mana lmao

cobalt blade
hexed mountain
#

a unique cost flask would be a massive tides buff

pulsar dune
#

I'm down for really strong unique flasks ngl

fossil mural
crisp obsidian
cobalt blade
#

i dont want to play PF meta again that sounds kinda boring

karmic gust
#

then it neds to be accessible

#

and not suffering until you get the flask

opal ingot
soft perch
cobalt blade
opal ingot
#

next thing ill know there was explode on flask suffix

#

for magic

#

dotn say oriath

hexed mountain
#

oriath

spice pecan
opal ingot
#

yeah too bad i didn't use it that much back then

karmic gust
#

both magic and unique flasks used to be pretty good

opal ingot
#

cuz i was a pure hh guy

karmic gust
#

good times

hexed mountain
#

yeah

karmic gust
#

now most of them are garbage

#

both unique and magics

opal ingot

Good times

hexed mountain
#

remember prime vinktar pathfinders? templarLul

cobalt blade
#

like fucking why

crisp obsidian
#

I remember when they stealthnerfed flask suffixes

#

good times

opal ingot
#

whaat

crisp obsidian
#

well

#

stealth removed iirc?

#

wasn't iAS+iCS just removed

karmic gust
crisp obsidian
#

without a word

cobalt blade
#

Yea

hexed mountain
#

pathfinder needs to be deleted so we can have strong flasks bla

crisp obsidian
#

kharjou needs to be deleted bla

hexed mountain
#

pf is a sacrifice i am willing to make

tight plinth
#

Delete flasks

fossil mural
cobalt blade
fossil mural
#

And add charms

hexed mountain
#

(also the game needs some way to prolif poison without being locked to bino/pf

opal ingot
#

add dodge roll too?

#

and wasd

spice pecan
karmic gust
spice pecan
#

but it's either pf, or lose your weapon, or lose your gloves

hexed mountain
#

do we?

karmic gust
#

and its not very useful because people dont undersand when prolif is actually useful

fossil mural
steel light
#

can they nerf current mb? won't the current just become legacy and kept the stats until reroll?

opal ingot
#

when is it useful deathbeam

karmic gust
#

like what poison build is gonna use it thats actually popular right now?

cobalt blade
#

its good when your running content like legion or breach

hexed mountain
#

i just want to play mamba in ssf without having to be a pf or spend weeks finding something to enable it

karmic gust
#

nothing except mamba outside of pf

#

wants prolif

crisp obsidian
#

isn't prolif good when your skill sucks with AoE and applies strong poisons

#

and bad otherwise

hexed mountain
#

poison explosion builds can use prolif

karmic gust
cobalt blade
#

Its also good for molten strike poison

#

but not super popular rn

karmic gust
#

its terrible for molten strike poison

frigid wedge
#

moltens trike is odd

#

for poison

karmic gust
#

because molten strike poisons suck as they are super small

crisp obsidian
#

molten strike applies poisons fast with low base damage no

#

yeah

karmic gust
#

so the prolif does nothing

cobalt blade
hexed mountain
#

if you get 100% chance to poison and run the catarina staff to explode or occultist an accessible prolif would be nice

karmic gust
#

molten strike poison is still good

hard cliff
#

What if the new Scion ascendascy let's you pick a line from a unique you sacrifice

cobalt blade
hexed mountain
#

like 25% max hp poison with a single 300% inc damage mastery for non poisoned and prolif would prolif on its own off occultist

crisp obsidian
#

tho if you abuse med clusters couldn't you abuse prolif

frigid wedge
crisp obsidian
#

with any skill technically

cobalt blade
#

Let you abuse prolif+ancestral call dot cap instantly

spice pecan
crisp obsidian
#

but tha would be dogshit outside of maps xdd

spice pecan
#

remember that this node is still in the game

crisp obsidian
#

and even in maps probably

karmic gust
hexed mountain
#

because there's no good option

cobalt blade
hexed mountain
#

if the opportunity cost wouldnt be so obnoxious people would definitely try it

karmic gust
#

i mean the opportunity cost is trash weapon

#

so yea ofc

hexed mountain
#

that's a high cost when weapons give so much damage

cobalt blade
#

explode is also kinda overrated

hexed mountain
#

? D:

opal ingot
#

how does +x% to something work

is it like a flat addition to the chance/modifier

like if u had say 5% base chance of crit, then +8% to crit rate means you get 13% crit rate

cobalt blade
#

Personally just like occy explode for the sound over actual impact on clear

karmic gust
#

yea so noone is gonna use the weapon even if they made prolif node on tree

fossil mural
#

Why would you need poison prolif with explode or vice versa

crisp obsidian
karmic gust
#

because the weapon is just bad

hexed mountain
#

for a pure map clear build they would

cobalt blade
#

earthquake of amp poison

hexed mountain
#

that thing prolifs on its own so far its fun

cobalt blade
fossil mural
#

And prolif does that too

hexed mountain
#

i used that weapon on an elementalist with all damage can ignite

#

it was super fun

#

i mean shaper of flames node right

#

that forces ignite

fossil mural
#

I am not sure using both will result in better clear

hexed mountain
#

wouldnt use both

#

yeah

#

just opening options

karmic gust
#

i guess you can make argument for ele and doing it on ele but then you can just do what you said anyway instead

#

and its gonna be better

cobalt blade
#

ele being one of the best poison ascends feels so wrong

crisp obsidian
#

wait how does this work with prolif, if I poison someone with this and then it prolifs to another target does it get the 300% inc again?

hexed mountain
#

would be more for occultist there , with low opportunity cost could be a fun clear boost

crisp obsidian
#

if it is not poisoned already

cobalt blade
#

entirely because of how stupid golems are

crisp obsidian
#

or does it not count as "you"

hybrid harness
#

bruh mamba prolif would be zdps if that didnt work

fossil mural
karmic gust
#

and anything is better than assa

karmic gust
#

so its just between ele and pf then

finite quail
#

the wording is very clear on it

crisp obsidian
#

you guys are understanding wrong

finite quail
#

poisons that are inflicted on non poisoned enemies deal 300% increased damage

cobalt blade
#

the prolifs are your poison yes

finite quail
#

so poisons proliferated to enemies that are not poisoned also works

crisp obsidian
#

it applies the 300% on the main target poison yes, but does that 300% get applied again when prolif poisons a new enemy?

karmic gust
#

low tolerance do not cascades

#

you get the bonus once

cobalt blade
#

But the actual power of proliff+that node is vaal breach

whole bluff
#

shadows are sad, other rangers are rangers, necro is a summoner, occultist is also sad, makes sense

finite quail
#

Because you are poisoning a target that wasnt previously poisoned

crisp obsidian
#

I trust db more

cobalt blade
#

you get 300% poisons on 50 enemies and proliff it to boss

hybrid harness
finite quail
#

What I mean to say is that the bonus is applied once per target

crisp obsidian
#

would be gigaop tho xdd

hybrid harness
#

yea

finite quail
#

So if target A gets poisoned, it gets the 300%, and when the poison proliferates to target B, it also gets the 300%

fossil mural
finite quail
#

But target B does not get 600%

#

It doesnt reapply low tolerance again, it does it once per target

#

For as many times as you have low tolerance allocated

hexed mountain
#

to be fair mamba is by itself kind of infinite damage in blight too

cobalt blade
fossil mural
hexed mountain
#

i mean dot cap infinite :^)

crisp obsidian
#

guys what if they go int64 for poison 🤯

#

well dots

#

I mean

finite quail
#

TREE(3) poison

fossil mural
#

What if they remove the dot cap

crisp obsidian
#

they can't remove the cap

#

they can only increase it

cobalt blade
#

everyone always complains about dot cap but noone ever complains about hitcap smh

fossil mural
#

Just make it deal damage in chunks

#

Who cares

soft perch
#

dot cap is irrelevant

crisp obsidian
#

at some point

hexed mountain
#

lets hope we get new toys in 3.28 for bossing and a pbod nerf , i'm tired of pbod

crisp obsidian
#

not lowkey

#

highkey selfcast sucks

fossil mural
soft perch
#

ok yea highkey selfcast sucks

hexed mountain
soft perch
hexed mountain
#

its really easy to setup arcane rf

soft perch
#

but selfcast has huge sustain issues

#

in both mana and life

hexed mountain
#

but yeah mana issues suck

crisp obsidian
fossil mural
crisp obsidian
#

vs some delve shenanigans

soft perch
hexed mountain
#

i skipped the idea of self chill on surfcaster because it couldnt deal with mana cost with that + trans RF

karmic gust
fossil mural
#

I mean vaalkek

soft perch
#

this is largely why i didnt play surfcaster

hexed mountain
#

was already ultra fast tho

soft perch
#

impossible to solve mana without destroying your pool with eb

#

poe2 is built on top of poe1 its same engine

soft perch
#

poe2 was not built from the ground up lul

fossil mural
karmic gust
spice pecan
soft perch
#

that doesnt mean its built from the ground up

cobalt blade
soft perch
#

that just means its bugged

karmic gust
#

they just did not fixed it in poe2 lmao

crisp obsidian
opal ingot
spice pecan
#

like poo2 had poe1 atlas, chisels, and probably some other shit that was left over

whole bluff
#

poe2 forked from poe1 without a lot of nice balance changes that poe2 could have used

hexed mountain
#

i'm so down for a 1 month league of poe 1 into 1 month league of poe 2 into 1 month league of phrecia rotation tho

soft perch
#

but yea like

whole bluff
#

like armour being 140% more effective

soft perch
#

dot cap is not reelevant

fossil mural
karmic gust
#

they did not reintroduced the bug

cobalt blade
karmic gust
#

they forked it before the bug was fixed

#

the bugfix is somewhat recent

soft perch
#

people who whine about dot cap existing probably have never actually played a real dot capped poison build

karmic gust
#

it was done when EA ignite was meta

cobalt blade
#

deep delve/valdos maps come to mind for me

karmic gust
#

like league after

whole bluff
soft perch
#

there is a huge difference between pob number after 8 seconds and what u see ingame

cobalt blade
#

where you can be expected to do billions to actually make a dent

crisp obsidian
fossil mural
soft perch
#

cuz its all damage reduction

hexed mountain
cobalt blade
#

not all

soft perch
#

delve is the exception

karmic gust
#

regular dot cap is very easy to hit

#

if you canthit it on poison build easily then you are building it wrong or just making meme build

crisp obsidian
#

can we go back to merc league where we were almost hitting uber 100% deli dot cap

cobalt blade
#

like your not clearing the billion dps check fatal after some time valdos with dot

crisp obsidian
#

with like 20d gear

soft perch
fossil mural
spice pecan
soft perch
#

its pretty rare ingame outside of relatively strong setups to do otherwise

hexed mountain
#

mamba doesnt need ramp tho

soft perch
#

ye

#

i know

cobalt blade
spice pecan
soft perch
#

my point was lots of poison setups theoretically hit dot cap, also hit based

#

but in reality are not that strong

#

cuz pob shenanigans

#

ramp and constant uptime required

cobalt blade
#

Its 10 seconds per portal after you die

soft perch
#

skills like pbod tend to be the exception and have more real damage numbers cuz they have incredible uptime

cobalt blade
#

Or well after timer

fringe ermine
#

what if legacy ascendencies

crisp obsidian
hexed mountain
#

well stuff like assassin poison pobs are bait anyway , the dps is useless the only thing that matters is poison dps x number of applications per second

soft perch
#

also a lot of bosses have big dr at the start

karmic gust
#

if you dont then its just build issue

soft perch
fossil mural
soft perch
#

outside of withering step

#

a lot of people click pathfinder and say ok yea 15 stacks of wither all the time

hexed mountain
#

yeah in ssf pre ashes max wither is hard

soft perch
#

then wonder why their pconc of bouncing doesnt actually do insane pob numbers all the time

#

yes im aware pconc has 20% wither with qual

#

it still takes time to stack

cobalt blade
#

tbf thats a skill issue

soft perch
#

mamba tends to be the exception

#

and withering step has annoying downsides to use like it eats ur cd movement skill

hexed mountain
#

mamba has the only issue there that you cant really use some fast hitting skill to ramp wither fast because it would ruin viper strike

karmic gust
#

on SA i get all wither stacks on first ballista attack pretty sure, and i think on wander you also get them < 1second, spark should get them in like 1.5 or 2 probably depends, LS and molten also easily hit it quickly, and other poison skills are bad so rest doesnt matter

stray sedge
#

👀 a bit late but damn what in the teaser is that

dark grove
#

I mean u can always 3 link spell totem -multi totem-wither

hexed mountain
#

yeah KF wander stacks stuff so fast

dark grove
#

For bosses

spice pecan
soft perch
#

they do, but it still eats into ur poison dps for the first few seconds

karmic gust
#

wither totems are pretty bad for actual wither uptime

cobalt blade
karmic gust
#

especially on non caster

#

on non caster they are just useless

soft perch
#

wither only has a base duration of 2 seconds

fossil mural
hexed mountain
#

i think my warden KF took like 0.5/0.6 seconds to drop 50 shocks on oath of spring , such a cool skill

soft perch
#

so u need to be hitting 7.5 times a second at 100% wither chance

thick goblet
soft perch
#

with 0 downtime

soft perch
#

theres for sure more to it imo

stray sedge
#

It would be cool if a bunch of unpopular ascendancies got changed but we will see

hexed mountain
#

i hope palsteron and quite a few people following his build didnt put KF on the nerf radar

stray sedge
#

too much time before next league x.x

spice pecan
#

i would be somewhat surprised if kf doesnt get tapped

cobalt blade
#

along with kinetic rain give us the original version you teased smh

hexed mountain
elfin shale
#

What all is that Scav wearing? Is the only unique Star/Voidforge?

cobalt blade
#

i know :p

soft perch
#

i am certain theres some build your own scavenger/something adjacent going on

whole bluff
#

I dont think I can assume 40 blade blast explosions, but probably at least 20, then I got like 10m dps on spellslinger bb

karmic gust
whole bluff
#

poison

#

but spells suffer so yeah

hexed mountain
karmic gust
#

actually its morer like 6%

#

not 12%

#

as you dont go from 0 to max at 1s

soft perch
cobalt blade
whole bluff
#

also, daughter of oshabi fights itself if you main spellslinger

elfin shale
hexed mountain
#

she looks at sand stuff + timing

#

but i mean this screen

#

in particular

cobalt blade
#

ah

hexed mountain
#

with the nodes fading

cobalt blade
#

i mean im expecting them to change more tbh

karmic gust
#

its kinda weird that they would add scavenger out of all things tho, it mayne makes sense because scion is 1 asc but the scav pathing and the huge power difference between the item nodes is weird thing to go core

tight plinth
#

dammit, tinctures specifically mentions melee weapons reeeeee

hexed mountain
#

i hope they would change the jewelry node too it feels so bad on many builds

karmic gust
#

especially the power difference between the nodes some are just useless completely

cobalt blade
hexed mountain
karmic gust
#

and meme nodes

crisp obsidian
#

which was already not taken that much right?

soft perch
tight plinth
crisp obsidian
#

ahhh

hexed mountain
#

might be more because ascendant is so niche

crisp obsidian
#

TIL

whole bluff
#

I guess if I had like 20% more dmg from ashes, 3 more EK blades from ashes, got 10 extra bladefall blades from quality, stacked herald effect on bloodline, I would be a fair bit above dot cap

hexed mountain
#

rather than scav being popular

soft perch
#

im pretty sure its because its not relevant on 1.0 or 2.0 values cuz its not something thats gonna be in 3.28 lul

whole bluff
#

and also blade blast base radius from quality

soft perch
#

like those nodes specifically

hexed mountain
#

adding popular scavenger instead of unpopular ascendant is really an easy choice to give fresh content to core game tbh

soft perch
#

i dont think the teaser is 'scavenger but we're reworking the bottom line cuz theyre unpopular'

hexed mountain
#

basically no work rework

fossil mural
#

That would be giga lame

sleek barn
#

holy rog pull

#

unfortunately the life sorta fucks it up

soft perch
#

its cryptic for a reason

whole bluff
#

but since spells suck, I havent solved using whispers of infinity atm

#

so I have 10-20m dps

hexed mountain
#

eldritch annul easy clap

karmic gust
whole bluff
#

and herald price tag is obscene

soft perch
#

i rly do think its a big curated list of uniques u can use as affixes and its totally feasible because foulborns were a similar system

hexed mountain
elfin shale
#

i mean in concept i think Ascendant is more interesting

#

Its just awful

karmic gust
#

it might be more interesting but they still left meme nodes on it, its kind of a joke

fossil mural
whole bluff
karmic gust
#

but maybe they will realance them who knows

hexed mountain
#

like when i compare scion nodes power level to other ascendancies it HURTS

fossil mural

hexed mountain

wait its not a conq lamiar

#

sleek barn
#

yeah shit base

whole bluff
#

if spellslinger was actually good enough to bother, I think a lot of people would whine about oshabi antisynergy, but as is it's just me lul

fossil mural
#

Spellslinger is great

#

||for warp||

whole bluff
#

xD

hexed mountain
#

they should just unnerf slinger

#

its so damn cool

#

but its so bad

whole bluff
#

about the ascendant vs scavenger, I think the problem with ascendant is that it's just hard to make a thing that's a grab bag of every other thing when they keep changing things

soft perch
#

they buffed slinger recently

whole bluff
#

I use grace of the goddess, it's nice

#

actually a more dmg support now

karmic gust
#

it just needs 5 more buffs like firestorm then maybe ppl will start using it :d

whole bluff
#

but idk how I'd solve costs

crisp obsidian
#

give us 5 buffs on BV and spark ty

whole bluff
#

my gear is stuffed with uniques, so I cant just use elreon benchcraft

crisp obsidian
#

they can just be poison buffs too

#

that's fine

thick goblet
#

what does bv need

#

i haven't played it

crisp obsidian
#

blade vortexer

thick goblet
#

what

#

i meant what buffs does it need

crisp obsidian
#

oh need

#

I read meant

#

for some reason xdd

#

uhh AoE

#

maybe some spin speed on blades?

#

and a lil duration is always nice

#

but AoE def

karmic gust
#

bv not having so terrible base aoe would be nice for sure

cobalt blade
whole bluff
#

I think BV could deal more dmg if cast recently, but maybe this is when people wanna confiscate my cooking tools

karmic gust
#

could just get base radius per blade

soft perch
#

selfcast just needs better ways to sustain life and mana

crisp obsidian

not necessarily damage

There isnt an actually good lifetap gem in the game right

crisp obsidian

nvm

it exists

lifetap is good

cobalt blade

Maybe in standard in a breach with sentinel recomb breach rings

fossil mural

I mean, 20% more is pretty good

Id use that

fossil mural

Over es cost

crisp obsidian

karmic gust

i would use lifetap over inspiration on most spell builds templarthumbsup

crisp obsidian
#

attacks being too good

#

revert the totem thing

thanks

#

make attacks suffer again

cobalt blade
fossil mural
crisp obsidian
#

make tincture mana burn 100x stronger

cobalt blade
#

youd just need to invest into -max mana rings >flat mana regen

#

just a bit more annoying to enable

crisp obsidian

you remove the mastery

and it would matter

cause it would burn 100% of mana per second

fossil mural

Make msoz not shotgun

Would be my running slogan

crisp obsidian

For the record, I can likely solve costs. Breathstealer with +1 frenzy charge anointed for costs, mana mastery, maybe have to use clarity but I can't use calamitous visions then so idk

Ashes gives me like 212% of grace of the goddess flat-> 275%. But herald of purity probably gives more. Or hoag if I want poison on witchbane

Also a bb lvl and more blades from quality

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you gotta be kidding me

hmm, gotta recheck if quality was actually 2% flat and not 1%

crisp obsidian
#

No new mechanic is gonna get atlas passives or scarabs instantly ever again

modern zinc
#

poe3 when

crisp obsidian
#

So don't even think of it

hard cliff
finite quail
#

Necropolis was a new mechanic with atlas stuff and that was a hugely bad decision

#

Because you either took the atlas passives for it, leaving you with less points for other things, or you had a worse league mechanic

sullen moat
#

Affliction was a fun league

finite quail
#

Same goes for scarabs

#

You either run the scarabs, or you have a worse mechanic

#

So no, keep the scarabs/atlas stuff for when the content is added to the base game

astral shadow
#

Hope we get old breach back, current one is just bad

crisp obsidian
#

Hey we should atleast get breach passives and scarabs back

#

Pog

#

Pog my fav ascendency

lean urchin
#

or.. they removed scavenger, removing lab.

crisp obsidian
#

Not sure if it's bloodline, scion ascendancy or some kind of leag mechanic

pulsar ice
lean urchin
#

something about learning

modern zinc
#

kekw

pliant hamlet
#

Imagine scion just gets all phrecia ascendencies lol

crisp obsidian
#

Scion would be 99% playrate lul

pliant hamlet
#

goes from 1 ascendency to like 30

hard cliff
pliant hamlet
#

Good

crisp obsidian
#

You just pick the best asc and F/F something

#

And be broken

tight plinth
#

i wonder if atlas passives for breach will be "increased chance to get stabilize the breach/hive encounters" 🤔

pliant hamlet
#

bring back incoherent poe

#

that shit was the best

hard cliff
#

Krangle

lean urchin
#

more walls pls

crisp obsidian
#

Bring back 3.15

pliant hamlet
#

I think they'll just disable the wall interaction entirely and make it only the open the breach and the hive

crisp obsidian
#

We need another 3.15 tbh

tight plinth
#

yeah the walls is just trash

crisp obsidian
#

Or have the wall encounter without walls

#

Ez

hard cliff
pliant hamlet
#

I don't think we'll ever have another expedition league

#

I've never seen such a hated league

crisp obsidian
#

4.0 better be big balance patch

lean urchin
#

well... it fked flasks

spice pecan
#

what even was the reason people hated the start of expedition league

tight plinth
#

the nerfs

pliant hamlet
#

I think mana was the #1 complaint

spice pecan
#

like what were these nerfs/mana issue

#

we still have shit mana

pliant hamlet
#

Yeah but it's not as bad

crisp obsidian
#

And bunch of other stuff

#

They rebalanced the game

pliant hamlet
#

Monster damage increase might have happened but

crisp obsidian
#

Pretty much

lean urchin
#

grok is this true?

#

they wanted poe 1 to be closer to poe 2

pliant hamlet
#

don't forget expedition was one of the hardest mechanics we ever had

lean urchin
#

what?

spice pecan
#

yeah i know it was giga rippy

pliant hamlet
#

Expedition was giga rippy on day 1

lean urchin
#

betrayl was worse on day 1

crisp obsidian
#

One of the

#

Not the most

pliant hamlet
#

Betrayal was so fucked 40% of the player base didn't get to experience

crisp obsidian
#

Or the hardest

tight plinth
#

that was my first proper league

#

the gang will just spawn and insta pop you 😭

pliant hamlet
#

Also betrayal didn't require you to read or you bricked your build

#

with no real way to notice what happened

finite quail
lean urchin
#

and metamorph just crashed your game

#

ultimatum too

pliant hamlet
#

idr ultimatum crashing people

tight plinth
#

whats worse is it lags before they spawn in too so you have no outplay but to flask up

spice pecan
#

well we know what the ultimatum incident was

pliant hamlet
#

I just remember the servers being on fire for ultimatum

pliant hamlet
#

Metamorph was hillariously overtuned

spice pecan
pliant hamlet
#

but again, most people just didn't interact with it

#

It wasn't rewarding lol

#

and it was very click intensive

crisp obsidian
#

Archnemesis was top tier league if we ignore combining the thingies

crisp obsidian
tight plinth
#

i liked archnem but i still despise them replacing old rare mods

pliant hamlet
#

It's funny, ARchnemesis was cool.
The next league where they added archnemesis into the base game was I think the most hated league of all time

crisp obsidian
#

And then getting like 1: 10: 10: 3: 10 ratio'd

pliant hamlet
#

I liked the idea of archnemesis, building into a massive loot explosion

tight plinth
pliant hamlet
#

hasted rhoas

#

they will forever haunt my nightmares

crisp obsidian
#

Which was very succesful

tight plinth
#

it was sentinel yes

crisp obsidian
#

Sentinel was like top3 league ever

#

For me

pliant hamlet
strong viper
#

is the league on poe1 more fresh or poe2

pliant hamlet
#

If so you should check that out for that era lol

crisp obsidian
hexed mountain
#

metamorph was goated league but solely due to content

crisp obsidian
#

I don't care about reddit

pliant hamlet
#

People hated archnem going core

#

It was bad here too

tight plinth
#

but the league was good

spice pecan
crisp obsidian
#

Player numbers did well iirc

hexed mountain
#

like metamorph in itself was bad but conq added was amazing

pliant hamlet
#

Oh yeah, the league was good. But baseline archnem was really hated

trim sleet
#

lets gooo @sage falcon

strong viper
crisp obsidian
#

Made hh so bad

#

Xddd

pliant hamlet
#

yeah that too

spice pecan
pliant hamlet
#

it's funny how HH was a 150+ ex item

#

now it's a 3d item lol

spice pecan
#

poe1 new league in a couple weeks, though

strong viper
#

oh bet

tight plinth
#

adding a bunch of loots to mobs them popping them all at the same time

hexed mountain
crisp obsidian
#

Maybe the finally release HH from it's chains

serene abyss

"we will never nerf HH!!!"

spice pecan

#

Ya sure gegege

I loved Invasion, but it made most people just rage

well i really wanna try it thats fs

#

will i get fucked that bad

pseudo axle
#

wonder if I can hit a second progenesis

spice pecan
crisp obsidian
#

You mean sentinel right, when they added archnem over nemesis

hoary scarab
tight plinth
strong viper
pliant hamlet
# serene abyss Dunno about that, people really hated Invasion

there just weren't a lot of people back in invasion days. If you want to go back that far, Talisman was a trash league, Perandus crashed about 20% of players anytime they showed up, another 20% experienced massive lag and had to avoid the bubble or "enjoy" 1 fps for like the first 3 weeks. Synthesis had hte largest player drop off ever. etc

hoary scarab
#

also definitly get yourself a build guide for poe1, campaign is fine, but you can easilly get fucked over once you hit maps

spice pecan
#

was there even a half decent league mechanic before like, essence league

pliant hamlet
#

Prophecy was cool

strong viper
crisp obsidian
pliant hamlet
#

Perandus was too

crisp obsidian
#

Iirc it took a while to get fixes in

#

While enough to soft reboot right

spice pecan
#

tempest/warbands/perandus/talisman/invasion, like

crisp obsidian
#

Or something like that

spice pecan
#

wtf were those leagues

hoary scarab
serene abyss
gentle ice
#

graphics are not that worst, at least to me i really like poe1 gfx 😱 , poe2 gfx are good but i somehow prefer poe1 "style"
and yeah for the gameplay it's a completely different game than poe2 you'll probably need to follow a build

pliant hamlet
#

I really liked Perandus

crisp obsidian
#

Right

modern zinc
#

the oneshots were awful

pliant hamlet
strong viper
serene abyss
#

Ch'aska was fun 🤣

pliant hamlet
#

Invasion and Nemesis made me quit HC forever

#

Nemesis was imo worse because of some really wonky interactions

serene abyss
#

I've never played a SC league since they merged them. I used to try both just to try the sc-only mechanics.

pliant hamlet
#

Did you kill a fractured worm? Hope you can take 9 fireballs to the face.

crisp obsidian
pliant hamlet
#

Fractured devourers in act 2 legit made me ragequit hc forever lol

spice pecan
#

except for slams, they won't ever nerf slams

pliant hamlet
#

ScuffThink they've gutted slams a few times in the past

#

that shit wax and wanes in power

crisp obsidian
#

Give sll attacks 70% reduced attack speed

yo does tramua work with dom blow?

pliant hamlet

Ngl, I'm not really an HC player, so it's for the best. I really like pushing myself and doing content WAY too hard for me. Hopping into my first t17 when it drops, running all mods, etc.

Hc is so boring to me because of that

crisp obsidian
#

Good ol times

serene abyss
#

Sometimes you die.

gentle ice
#

same i prefer SC to push cahracter to the limit and not be afraid to die

serene abyss
#

But you can do it. 😄

pliant hamlet
#

in hc

crisp obsidian
#

Guys I am sensing them adding easier alt leveling

#

I can feel it

serene abyss
#

I mean, I wouldn't have T17 at level 83 with trash gear in HC.

crisp obsidian
#

Taste it even

pliant hamlet
#

See, and I don't like that 😄

serene abyss
#

But I definitely do pinnacle bosses, and high tier maps in HC.

pliant hamlet
#

I also wouldn't play my favorite skill, flicker ❤️

serene abyss
#

Just with more preparation.

spice pecan

pliant hamlet

You know what I want them to do to help alts?

#

Fucking stop making good gear level 84

#

I can do acts on my 2nd character in under 2 hours

crisp obsidian
pliant hamlet
#

but it doesn't matter because it's another 4 hours before I can equip my gear lol

serene abyss
spice pecan
crisp obsidian
pliant hamlet
#

bruh seriously, I'd love that

#

Throw it on an uber boss

crisp obsidian
#

Account bound no lvl req items

pliant hamlet
#

I'd be down with that

#

They keep doing hte opposite. They keep adding level requirements on level 1 twink items

#

I hate it :<

#

delve gloves deleted too

gentle ice
#

alts are already quite fast to level tbh, it's just boring 😅

pliant hamlet
#

idk, I enjoy the power trip for an hour or 2

crisp obsidian
#

I hate that in PoE2 the lvl req raises with the implicit lvl on uniques

#

Like pls ggg

lucid gale
#

I miss the days of accidentally putting lab enchants on levelling gloves/boots/hats.

crisp obsidian
#

That's exactly what would help secokd characters

#

But not first ones

pliant hamlet
#

It's also just fun to setup twink gear. Takes hours to setup anyways

#

or a lot of money

crisp obsidian
gentle ice
#

i'm against any instant level personally, but i would not mind an alternative way of leveling up/skipping the campaign even if it takes like 4 hours if it can make it less boring 😅

pliant hamlet
#

Oh I don't want instant level

#

I've got way too much experience in acts

#

I enjoy it

crisp obsidian
#

Ye instant level no fun

#

Just make alt leveling more fun

pliant hamlet
#

But I want high budget twink items

#

it gives fun mini goals

crisp obsidian
#

Give us ways to make more unique leveling builds for second characters

pliant hamlet
#

yeah

crisp obsidian
#

There is a reason twinking was so popular in WoW

serene abyss
pliant hamlet
#

more items like Replica Tasalios, abberath's fury(even if it's bad atm), old cloak of flame / old fire staff / etc.

#

what are some sick ah auto bomber builds yo

serene abyss
#

since at high levels it's not something you'd use, and you can't use it on a low level alt

crisp obsidian
#

Outside of phrecia

rich widget
pliant hamlet
#

ScuffThink depends what your goal is

crisp obsidian
#

In phrecia just click fishing rod and go HoT

pliant hamlet
#

if you want to speed map, autobombers work fine, they're just expensive if you want to kill bosses

crisp obsidian
#

Also makes finding uniques for alts in poe2 very annoying

rich widget
#

i loved blight of contgian and wanted to do smth simmilar and i just thought of auto bomber shi

crisp obsidian
#

The implicit thing is so dumb

worldly bridge
#

come on cro

pliant hamlet
#

play something else pre-95 or so

#

super point intensive

#

witch can do a better budget version but it scales like shit and will never comfortably do t17 bosses

spice pecan
#

surprised it isnt using the 1L helm

pliant hamlet
#

yeah that's the budget version

spice pecan
#

O

pliant hamlet
#

it's not crit so its dps is a lot worse

#

you also can't easily search it in pob

#

err poe.ninja

#

that's pretty much as good as the dps gets, 3.5m ScuffThink

#

It's a really comfy speed t16 farmer though

hexed mountain
#

it was cheaper when i stopped

#

to just keep the risk and imbued

#

for autobomber the highest damage is bog shaman bladefall no?

#

with witchcraft and lifetap you get 40M dps bladefall of trarthus

#

and explode wand

lean urchin
#

tratatrta gems from heist only?

pliant hamlet
#

Yup!

#

Somewhat rare, but not unobtainably rare

tight plinth
#

yeah trarartasturus gems are heist only

pliant hamlet
#

I think you can get them as a special reward from gem rooms too

#

but ask a heister, I hate that mechanic lol

thick goblet
lean urchin
#

"special reward from gem rooms" where else did u have in mind

pliant hamlet
#

I got mine from the reward at the end

lean urchin
#

wtf

#

ive ran so many heists in standard, didnt see one

pliant hamlet
#

@wheat sinew am I tripping or is cog? One of us is wrong halp lol

hard cliff
#

Their are a lot of great auto bomber builds if you're fine with occasionally pressing a button

wheat sinew
#

Sup

tight plinth
#

cast on portal Pogott

wheat sinew

It's reward from gem side rooms

pliant hamlet

Can you get trathus gems from the reward at the end?

No

pliant hamlet
#

rip, I was wrong D:

#

I coulda sworn I got my bfall of trathus from the reward, but I def trust your data over my shit memory lol

lean urchin
#

lots of thoughts gets mixed when doing heists

tight plinth
#

oh you can get them from normal contracts then

#

i thought they were grand heist only

wheat sinew
#

At the end

pliant hamlet
#

"replacement"?

#

I get what they are, but why replacement?

wheat sinew
#

It's what they are called xd

pliant hamlet
#

Neat

worldly bridge
#

can you use no jargon

pliant hamlet
#

so, 284 special items + randomly rolled rare weapon or body with a variety of mods

hard cliff
#

and yon't you forget it

pliant hamlet
#

dw I will

wheat sinew
#
  • trinkets yeaaaa
pliant hamlet
#

Did anyone ever find a mirror?

#

I didn't know that could show up lol

lean urchin
#

lorewise no, because they were making new replicas, not just mirroring uniques

pliant hamlet
#

sokra had like 200k? wings of results from various people

lean urchin
#

well, lets say 200k people online run 100 wings, maybe it spawns

pliant hamlet
#

I'm kinda curious what the rarest item was

#

I suspect it's baited breath, even if mirror is in the pool

wheat sinew
pliant hamlet
#

Makes sense

wheat sinew
#

Baited Breath, nothing comes close

#

XD

pliant hamlet
#

hahah

#

Figured

lean urchin
#

its so rare its in fishcord

wheat sinew
#

I mean it's fishing item

#

XS

pliant hamlet
#

I think baited breath is the hardest currently obtainable item, coupled with plaited ring

lean urchin
#

plaited ring is "ez"

pliant hamlet
#

but someone farmed 20 plaited rings in a league

lean urchin
#

took me only 3m kills for one

spice pecan
#

is replica bated breath even from heist?

pliant hamlet
#

yeah it is

wheat sinew
#

Yes.

spice pecan
#

i thought it was from something else

lean urchin
#

it has a card too iirc

spice pecan
#

like obv it's a replica but

wheat sinew
#

My collection of them is growing steasily

spice pecan
#

i've never seen one

pliant hamlet
#

it's like 10x as rare as a t0 drop isn't it?

lean urchin

"Angler's Plait can only drop from a Rare monster while the player has a corrupted Slitherpinch equipped. It is a deterministic drop that is unaffected by IIR or IIQ.[3]"

those gloves arent even associated with fishing

slitherpinch? yeah they are

wheat sinew

Those fuckers go wild hunting for completions

they're fishing uniques

lean urchin

they are like eels

oh wtf they can drop from the fishing item card

#

but they have no fishing mods or flavor text

#

lmao

wheat sinew
#

My fav part is idk if I'm hallucinating or anything but I swear I had insbury edge equipped when I found the 2 bated breaths that league

spice pecan
#

theyre also global drop/chance

pliant hamlet

Slitherpinch, Worm flask, Fairgrave's Tricorn are all fishing uniques

I was doing some random ass cyclone build

Iksy do ya like new scion

pliant hamlet
#

Yes 👀 #scionmain

#

Scion is already my favorite class, ascendent just sucks atm

spice pecan
#

im okay with scion change if they dont remove ascendant

wheat sinew
#

It looks very intriguing but I dislike it feels just a reuse

spice pecan
#

but maybe fix some of the ascendant nodes

wheat sinew
#

If it's finally a 2ndRy ascendancy would be great

pliant hamlet

It lets us play Diablo 3 lol

the best part of D3

#

the cube thing

wheat sinew

Heh?

spice pecan

kanai's cube Pogott

pliant hamlet
#

You get to pick a bunch of unique effects

#

and just mash them into your build

wheat sinew
#

Ah yeaaa

pliant hamlet
#

imagine how many builds you can make good with obliteration

spice pecan
#

i think it was in like s2 or s3 of the expansion they added the cube

#

is obliteration actually that good without scaling chaos damage tho?

pliant hamlet

Are you asking if 20% pops are good? lol
