are these worth doing?
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
The small ones? No
readd reduced cost flask pls and that's good enough to make a broken sparker
The big ones alch until 5-6 mods then vaal
alch n go them
are the lv84 easy or do i need to read up?
and if you do a pure lightning setup oath of spring replica heatshiver goes even harder
they cant readd reduced costflask until they nerf mageblood
its basically identical to quest version
since all indigon builds just ignore regen anyway
just a bit tankier
and are built around leech
ok thanks
unique flask
itd be nice to play spells and just, regen mana lmao
but that's why i want them to readd it D:
a unique cost flask would be a massive tides buff
I'm down for really strong unique flasks ngl
Monkey paw curls cant recover mana from sources other than regen
bbbbut MoM
i dont want to play PF meta again that sounds kinda boring
i dont like solutions like this, if its supposed to solve any issues
then it neds to be accessible
and not suffering until you get the flask
wow that was a thing huh
not an es build pog
25% reduced cost of skils during flask effect
oriath
there was attack and cast speed suffixes
yeah too bad i didn't use it that much back then
both magic and unique flasks used to be pretty good
cuz i was a pure hh guy
good times
yeah
🥹
I remember reddit meltdown about flask nerfs
im still annoyed they removed cast speed suffix because attacks got tinctures and they had to remove atk speed
Good times
remember prime vinktar pathfinders? 
like fucking why
whaat
because that was just excuse to nerf mageblood by nerfing wrong thing
without a word
Yea
pathfinder needs to be deleted so we can have strong flasks 
kharjou needs to be deleted 
pf is a sacrifice i am willing to make
Delete flasks
Wouldnt be surprised with kindling buffs
yup but its a fuckin chase item let us have fun
(also the game needs some way to prolif poison without being locked to bino/pf
foulborn embalmer exists now at least
Gloves
they literally added that this league
but it's either pf, or lose your weapon, or lose your gloves
yeah but we dont know if its going core yet
do we?
and its not very useful because people dont undersand when prolif is actually useful
Well wtf do you want? A notable? Lmao
can they nerf current mb? won't the current just become legacy and kept the stats until reroll?
when is it useful deathbeam
like what poison build is gonna use it thats actually popular right now?
its good when your running content like legion or breach
Mamba
i just want to play mamba in ssf without having to be a pf or spend weeks finding something to enable it
isn't prolif good when your skill sucks with AoE and applies strong poisons
and bad otherwise
Yup
poison explosion builds can use prolif
yea, and there are no poison builds like that being played atm
its terrible for molten strike poison
because molten strike poisons suck as they are super small
so the prolif does nothing
It was good with heist dagger for a bit
if you get 100% chance to poison and run the catarina staff to explode or occultist an accessible prolif would be nice
molten strike poison is still good
What if the new Scion ascendascy let's you pick a line from a unique you sacrifice
iirc people used it with vaal breach to do stupid quick poisons to bosses lol
like 25% max hp poison with a single 300% inc damage mastery for non poisoned and prolif would prolif on its own off occultist
tho if you abuse med clusters couldn't you abuse prolif
yeah but compared to the rest of the stuff ms can do its kinda eh
with any skill technically
Let you abuse prolif+ancestral call dot cap instantly
but tha would be dogshit outside of maps xdd
remember that this node is still in the game
and even in maps probably
sure, but how many builds do use catarina staff on PF where prolif is already super accessible? nobody
because there's no good option
Ay but iirc it was just an efficient early char before you reach the point hit based takes over
if the opportunity cost wouldnt be so obnoxious people would definitely try it
that's a high cost when weapons give so much damage
explode is also kinda overrated
? D:
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
Personally just like occy explode for the sound over actual impact on clear
yea so noone is gonna use the weapon even if they made prolif node on tree
Why would you need poison prolif with explode or vice versa
like the idea sounds good in my brain but I can't think of any skill that would actually do it outside of mamba
because the weapon is just bad
its funny
for a pure map clear build they would
maybe a slam
earthquake of amp poison
that thing prolifs on its own so far its fun

You already chain explode with basically anything
And prolif does that too
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
I am not sure using both will result in better clear
fair
then we are back to noone doing it on PF even though PF is strongest poison ascendancy anyway even if it did not had the prolif
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
ele being one of the best poison ascends feels so wrong
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?
would be more for occultist there , with low opportunity cost could be a fun clear boost
if it is not poisoned already
entirely because of how stupid golems are
or does it not count as "you"
yes it prolifs that
bruh mamba prolif would be zdps if that didnt work
And 60% shock
well there is only PF and assa as poison ascendancies as occu sucks ass if you want damage for poison build nowadays
and anything is better than assa
Ay
so its just between ele and pf then
yes it does
the wording is very clear on it
you guys are understanding wrong
poisons that are inflicted on non poisoned enemies deal 300% increased damage
the prolifs are your poison yes
so poisons proliferated to enemies that are not poisoned also works
it applies the 300% on the main target poison yes, but does that 300% get applied again when prolif poisons a new enemy?
But the actual power of proliff+that node is vaal breach
Yes
shadows are sad, other rangers are rangers, necro is a summoner, occultist is also sad, makes sense
Because you are poisoning a target that wasnt previously poisoned
I trust db more
you get 300% poisons on 50 enemies and proliff it to boss
so u mean the 3x goes to 9x? dont think so
What I mean to say is that the bonus is applied once per target
would be gigaop tho xdd
yea
So if target A gets poisoned, it gets the 300%, and when the poison proliferates to target B, it also gets the 300%
Infinite damage hack in blight
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
to be fair mamba is by itself kind of infinite damage in blight too
in blight you do no damage because its all too tanky on titanic 
Infinite to the power of infinite
i mean dot cap infinite :^)
TREE(3) poison
What if they remove the dot cap
everyone always complains about dot cap but noone ever complains about hitcap smh
dot cap is irrelevant
the cap would still exist
at some point
lets hope we get new toys in 3.28 for bossing and a pbod nerf , i'm tired of pbod
lowkey selfcast just sucks
Well it technically exists for msoz too, not very relevant
ok yea highkey selfcast sucks
i think it's underrated tbh
damagewise, maybe
its really easy to setup arcane rf
but yeah mana issues suck
well poisons could atleast theoretically hit it
Cant you go bloodmagic leech
vs some delve shenanigans
this is still a downside
i skipped the idea of self chill on surfcaster because it couldnt deal with mana cost with that + trans RF
they can remove it theres bunch of solutions to handle infinite numbers you just lose a bit of precision and thats it
I mean 
same
this is largely why i didnt play surfcaster
was already ultra fast tho
impossible to solve mana without destroying your pool with eb
frostblink of wintry blast doing nice litttle 30-40 sec city squares
so they should just stack aura effect ez
I think its intentional. You can see it with poe2 - they did it again, from ground up - and its so broken if you go above dot cap it stops doing damage
they didnt do it from ground up
poe2 is built on top of poe1 its same engine
poe2 was not built from the ground up lul
They def did, cause now it just doesnt do damage
that was bug in poe1 they fixed
in 0.1 couldn't you open the poe1 atlas or some shit
that doesnt mean its built from the ground up
P sure theyd have to change how they handle health for this
that just means its bugged
they just did not fixed it in poe2 lmao
just don't tell pixxel that
i think i remember doing this
like poo2 had poe1 atlas, chisels, and probably some other shit that was left over
poe2 forked from poe1 without a lot of nice balance changes that poe2 could have used
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
but yea like
like armour being 140% more effective
dot cap is not reelevant
Id rather believe that they made how dots do damage from 0, than that they reintroduced a bug from god knows when
they did not reintroduced the bug
it is for some content but for 99% of it yeah
people who whine about dot cap existing probably have never actually played a real dot capped poison build
it was done when EA ignite was meta
deep delve/valdos maps come to mind for me
like league after
I'd say it seems fairly clear poe2 is based on like 3.15 more than 3.20
there is a huge difference between pob number after 8 seconds and what u see ingame
where you can be expected to do billions to actually make a dent
what do we count as a real dot cap tho
Dot cap is also a lot harder to hit than people pretend without pf doubling poison
poison is fine for valdos
cuz its all damage reduction
was mainly pointing out its infinite to dot cap due to ravaged blights so you dont instagib the bosses
not all
delve is the exception
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
can we go back to merc league where we were almost hitting uber 100% deli dot cap
like your not clearing the billion dps check fatal after some time valdos with dot
with like 20d gear
u can hit dot cap in pob after multiple seconds of constant hitting at maximum wither and ramp
Arent those about less damage taken?
sure, you're also not deep delving on dot builds either sadly
its pretty rare ingame outside of relatively strong setups to do otherwise
mamba doesnt need ramp tho
yep and dot builds have less sources of damage scaling
you have to finish the map in 5 minutes, assuming it's 1 portal
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
The timer doesnt reset on new portal even if its not
Its 10 seconds per portal after you die
skills like pbod tend to be the exception and have more real damage numbers cuz they have incredible uptime
Or well after timer
what if legacy ascendencies
temp chain xdd
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
also a lot of bosses have big dr at the start
well you should have wither up on most good poison builds almost instantly
if you dont then its just build issue
i think this is not often the case
Me when mamba applies wither with withering step and ashes
outside of withering step
a lot of people click pathfinder and say ok yea 15 stacks of wither all the time
yeah in ssf pre ashes max wither is hard
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
tbf thats a skill issue
mamba tends to be the exception
and withering step has annoying downsides to use like it eats ur cd movement skill
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
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
👀 a bit late but damn what in the teaser is that
I mean u can always 3 link spell totem -multi totem-wither
yeah KF wander stacks stuff so fast
For bosses
isnt this bait without cast speed
they do, but it still eats into ur poison dps for the first few seconds
wither totems are pretty bad for actual wither uptime
Yes
wither only has a base duration of 2 seconds
They also tend to just insta die
i think my warden KF took like 0.5/0.6 seconds to drop 50 shocks on oath of spring , such a cool skill
so u need to be hitting 7.5 times a second at 100% wither chance
scav core hopefully
with 0 downtime
a teaser thats definitely not just scavenger
theres for sure more to it imo
It would be cool if a bunch of unpopular ascendancies got changed but we will see
i hope palsteron and quite a few people following his build didnt put KF on the nerf radar
too much time before next league x.x
i would be somewhat surprised if kf doesnt get tapped
surely its on the buff radar instead
along with kinetic rain give us the original version you teased smh
no way , its super strong
What all is that Scav wearing? Is the only unique Star/Voidforge?
i know :p
blunderbore
i am certain theres some build your own scavenger/something adjacent going on
blunderbore
I dont think I can assume 40 blade blast explosions, but probably at least 20, then I got like 10m dps on spellslinger bb
well if the ramp is 1s and the duration is 4s then you are losing like 12% damage in first 4 seconds of combat thats whatever
i think this could just be them saying they're reworking that bottom wheel as nobody was taking it
i really dont agree because this is a core game mechanic not a phrecia thing
yo reworked for the 3rd phrecia in a year incredible teaser
also, daughter of oshabi fights itself if you main spellslinger
This is a teaser for 3.28 though
no , i mean also reworked , ofc its scavenger for 3.28
she looks at sand stuff + timing
but i mean this screen
in particular
ah
with the nodes fading
i mean im expecting them to change more tbh
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
dammit, tinctures specifically mentions melee weapons reeeeee
i hope they would change the jewelry node too it feels so bad on many builds
especially the power difference between the nodes some are just useless completely
yep no unarmed tinctures
warden LOGIN
and meme nodes
and they showed nerfed nodes on the bottom part
which was already not taken that much right?
they were phrecia 1.0 values
i wanna use it on unarmed 😭
ahhh
might be more because ascendant is so niche
TIL
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
rather than scav being popular
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
and also blade blast base radius from quality
like those nodes specifically
adding popular scavenger instead of unpopular ascendant is really an easy choice to give fresh content to core game tbh
i dont think the teaser is 'scavenger but we're reworking the bottom line cuz theyre unpopular'
basically no work rework
That would be giga lame
its cryptic for a reason
but since spells suck, I havent solved using whispers of infinity atm
so I have 10-20m dps
eldritch annul easy clap
popular because it has some broken nodes not because its actually better designed than base asc
and herald price tag is obscene
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
i think its more interesting than "grab watered down ascendancies"
it might be more interesting but they still left meme nodes on it, its kind of a joke
Do you selfcast both spells?
I spellsling everything
but maybe they will realance them who knows
like when i compare scion nodes power level to other ascendancies it HURTS
Based
with an empty chest... cuz reasons
Is it because double defences
But also eww
yup
nice antisynergistic ascendancy
yeah shit base
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
xD
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
they buffed slinger recently
it just needs 5 more buffs like firestorm then maybe ppl will start using it :d
but idk how I'd solve costs
give us 5 buffs on BV and spark ty
my gear is stuffed with uniques, so I cant just use elreon benchcraft
blade vortexer
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
bv not having so terrible base aoe would be nice for sure
-mana cost clarity
I think BV could deal more dmg if cast recently, but maybe this is when people wanna confiscate my cooking tools
could just get base radius per blade
selfcast just needs better ways to sustain life and mana
I mean not the worst idea, but AoE is the bigger problem
not necessarily damage
Just explode it
I just killed exarch for the first time 🙂
huge
doesn't help having to get close to enemies
Imo just mana life wise its fine with leech once you have a semi decent pool
my 3 skills cost like: 43, 47, 53
Isnt explosion pretty big
I see
im guessing the lil video today. Was a peak at scion rework or ?
that's like a grab bag of fu from GGG
yeah but initial hit still has to be pretty close
whispers of infinity for es cost instead?
yup
4 end charge on tree
+2 rings
+1 boots
10 end charges realistically
lol
iirc synth implicit on shield can have it too?
or maybe that's like weapons only or some dum shit
With an actual budget you can probably get like 25
There isnt an actually good lifetap gem in the game right
wdym
lifetap is good
thats quite the jump you think you can get 
Maybe in standard in a breach with sentinel recomb breach rings
I am doing my best

Over es cost
lifetap buff is poggers
max is like 14 or 15 charges in league iirc
i would use lifetap over inspiration on most spell builds 
and it requires you to wear stupid shit like grace sublime vision into frenzy scaling from masterform
attacks being too good
revert the totem thing
thanks
make attacks suffer again
make tinctures spells now
Mom said its MY turn on tinctures
make tincture mana burn 100x stronger
that wouldnt super matter if you cared to make tinctures work btw
youd just need to invest into -max mana rings >flat mana regen
just a bit more annoying to enable
you remove the mastery
and it would matter
cause it would burn 100% of mana per second
per stack
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
KILL MAMBA AT ANY COST
costs can be solved on spells
doesn't mean it's efficient
or a good way
without mastery fair but you didnt mention that :p
The superior Blood Magic
or worth it
Yeah
while attacks have 9 different good ways to solve mana
Or red cost
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%
ah, it goes from 212% ish to like 248*%
rog is trolling me
it's the worse goat
dead league o7
shockwave ele hit time
god
Looking at this basetype hurts
I remember when I used to vendor these to get chisels

oh god here we go...
:3
I just killed eater of worlds for the first time
easy fights tbh
will take a while to kill Maven because I don't have the special maps for her to witness
I don't have shaper or elder maps either
I was doign elder boss rush the majority of the league, very easy to sustain maps with idols
Just kind of ran out of elder maps, so a big run on shaper
I wish elder guardians didnt take so long to kill
Delve rework trailer in 10-11 days?
Remember to click the atlas passives for them
If you aint buying from trade
Pretty sure it will be some kind of rework
Idk, the chimera takes so much time that it takes me more time to do 4 shaper than 4 elde maps
They are out of ideas
I thought they dropped voidstones lol
For future reference
I'm still stuck in 2018
Poe2 is just poe1 mechanics copied, anything since 3.25 is not even real league, merc was fun but thats not a mechanic with scarabs etc
spicy
almost intelligeble
No new mechanic is gonna get atlas passives or scarabs instantly ever again
poe3 when
So don't even think of it
Chris Wilson is currently hiring last I checked
Bad take
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
Affliction was a fun league
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
Hope we get old breach back, current one is just bad
No they rework delve instead, making it more painful than it was before somehow 
Ok negative andy
someone opened your stacked decks or something?
wtf was that teaser
Scavenger in base game
or.. they removed scavenger, removing lab.
Not sure if it's bloodline, scion ascendancy or some kind of leag mechanic
poe 1 is already technically poe 3||.27.0||
something about learning
kekw
Imagine scion just gets all phrecia ascendencies lol
Scion would be 99% playrate lul
goes from 1 ascendency to like 30
goodbye game coherancy
Good
i wonder if atlas passives for breach will be "increased chance to get stabilize the breach/hive encounters" 🤔
Probably
Krangle
more walls pls
Bring back 3.15
I think they'll just disable the wall interaction entirely and make it only the open the breach and the hive
We need another 3.15 tbh
yeah the walls is just trash
🧱 🧱 🧱 🧱
We're gonna wall you up like Fortunato
I don't think we'll ever have another expedition league
I've never seen such a hated league
4.0 better be big balance patch
well... it fked flasks
what even was the reason people hated the start of expedition league
honestly? mana
the nerfs
I think mana was the #1 complaint
Yeah but it's not as bad
Flasks nerfed, gems nerfed, supports nerfed, defences nerfed, monster damage increased(iirc?)
And bunch of other stuff
They rebalanced the game
Monster damage increase might have happened but
Pretty much
don't forget expedition was one of the hardest mechanics we ever had
what?
yeah i know it was giga rippy
Expedition was giga rippy on day 1
betrayl was worse on day 1
Betrayal was so fucked 40% of the player base didn't get to experience
Or the hardest
jfc, i remember
that was my first proper league
the gang will just spawn and insta pop you 😭
Also betrayal didn't require you to read or you bricked your build
with no real way to notice what happened
I think they'll update it to be better, so I'm fine with it
idr ultimatum crashing people
whats worse is it lags before they spawn in too so you have no outplay but to flask up
well we know what the ultimatum incident was
I just remember the servers being on fire for ultimatum
Metamorph was hillariously overtuned
this makes me laugh every time
but again, most people just didn't interact with it
It wasn't rewarding lol
and it was very click intensive
Archnemesis was top tier league if we ignore combining the thingies
Having to manually pick up parts
i liked archnem but i still despise them replacing old rare mods
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
And then getting like 1: 10: 10: 3: 10 ratio'd
I liked the idea of archnemesis, building into a massive loot explosion
sentinel was good imo, i played a lot that league
Wasn't that sentinel leag
Which was very succesful
it was sentinel yes
does the way back machine work with reddit?
is the league on poe1 more fresh or poe2
If so you should check that out for that era lol
Idk
metamorph was goated league but solely due to content
I don't care about reddit
but the league was good
both are cooked
Player numbers did well iirc
like metamorph in itself was bad but conq added was amazing
Oh yeah, the league was good. But baseline archnem was really hated
lets gooo @sage falcon
as in both are like months in already?
Yaya
Made hh so bad
Xddd
yeah that too
yes, but also, neither are very good
poe1 new league in a couple weeks, though
i see, so i should wait till i start playing either?
oh bet
it was around 40d most of phrecia
Maybe the finally release HH from it's chains
Dunno about that, people really hated Invasion
"we will never nerf HH!!!"
march 6th or something
ive never played poe1 before but ive played poe2 a lot u think ill be fine?
Ya sure gegege
i blame shroudwalker for HH being cringe
I loved Invasion, but it made most people just rage
Yes but no
there's more content, more builds, worse graphics
Way diff game
then ritual league comes around
alright, back to maven grinding
Huh
wonder if I can hit a second progenesis
wasn't that the league that nerfed headhunter
You mean sentinel right, when they added archnem over nemesis
the biggest problem will be getting used to click move
so what? have fun with it
yeah that i can believe lol
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
also definitly get yourself a build guide for poe1, campaign is fine, but you can easilly get fucked over once you hit maps
was there even a half decent league mechanic before like, essence league
Prophecy was cool
well yeah but are there even build guides for when the new leauges just start out? cuz im just gonna wait till the next league to start
Synth coulda been so good if they weren't so stubborn at first
Perandus was too
tempest/warbands/perandus/talisman/invasion, like
Or something like that
wtf were those leagues
yes, there will be a huge load of league starter builds every tme a new league comes around
Invasion was just really hated because it wasn't something you had to intentionally engage with, and a lot of them were one-shot machines. Plus, pretty sure Invasion was HC-only, think it was the counterpart to the league tjat introfuced strongboxes IIRC?
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
I really liked Perandus
Some were hc only etc
Right
yes for everything you said
the oneshots were awful
Yup. The one shots were bad
alrighty then will do, thanks brother
Ch'aska was fun 🤣
Invasion and Nemesis made me quit HC forever
Nemesis was imo worse because of some really wonky interactions
I've never played a SC league since they merged them. I used to try both just to try the sc-only mechanics.
Did you kill a fractured worm? Hope you can take 9 fireballs to the face.
Just wait till patchnotes before picking anything, any starter builds before patch notes(and some cases gem info) are 100% complete bait
Fractured devourers in act 2 legit made me ragequit hc forever lol
Give sll attacks 70% reduced attack speed
ah so u think i should wait like a day then look for starter builds?
Storm Herald was always "fun".
Yeah the game just goes through relatively minor cycles over time for balance in recent years
Wait til the livestream
A day or two after livestream yes
do they usually do the livestream before or after they release the league
Tune in to GGG live February 26, 2026 2:00 PM
A week before
1 week before, always
i started in HC, i was on my 3rd character i think, i got a prophecy that said "you'll encounter powerful devourers" or something like that... that made me quit HC
it's in #poe1-news
ahhhh
LOL
Before, same day they do the livestream they'll also release the patch notes
That's disgusting
Inb4 "this time we are waiting till next thursday for patch notes! Good luck"
yo does tramua work with dom blow?
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
Good ol times
You can do that in HC.
Sometimes you die.
same i prefer SC to push cahracter to the limit and not be afraid to die
But you can do it. 😄
yeah...I don't think I'm hopping into a level 83 T17 with my sub-1c gear lol
in hc
I mean, I wouldn't have T17 at level 83 with trash gear in HC.
Taste it even
See, and I don't like that 😄
But I definitely do pinnacle bosses, and high tier maps in HC.
I also wouldn't play my favorite skill, flicker ❤️
Just with more preparation.
should probably hop off the copium lmao
They do that every time, its called uniques. You're welcome
But it's so tasteful
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
I level my alts in 2 hours already, uniques wont make it that much faster
but it doesn't matter because it's another 4 hours before I can equip my gear lol
I think that's the jumper cables you strapped to your chest.
tabby till 84 is always the play
Give us kanai cube no level req on items ez
Account bound no lvl req items
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
alts are already quite fast to level tbh, it's just boring 😅
idk, I enjoy the power trip for an hour or 2
I hate that in PoE2 the lvl req raises with the implicit lvl on uniques
Like pls ggg
I miss the days of accidentally putting lab enchants on levelling gloves/boots/hats.
It's also just fun to setup twink gear. Takes hours to setup anyways
or a lot of money
People still vaal low level uniques into higher level req cause of implicits haha
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 😅
Oh I don't want instant level
I've got way too much experience in acts
I enjoy it
Give us ways to make more unique leveling builds for second characters
yeah
There is a reason twinking was so popular in WoW
Same. I hate that stuff like lifesprig is just fucking useless when found at high levels
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
since at high levels it's not something you'd use, and you can't use it on a low level alt
aw man
depends what your goal is
In phrecia just click fishing rod and go HoT
if you want to speed map, autobombers work fine, they're just expensive if you want to kill bosses
Yyep indeed
Also makes finding uniques for alts in poe2 very annoying
i loved blight of contgian and wanted to do smth simmilar and i just thought of auto bomber shi
The implicit thing is so dumb
come on cro
https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/soudaaaaz-3620/Rollee?i=0&search=skills%3DHerald%2Bof%2BThunder%26sort%3Ddps The build itself is pretty generic. But be aware it's zhp. Most versions don't even bother capping resses, just 40-50% to avoid 1-shots. you can also play a much higher budget version that replaces honourhome with a 8l helmet but +6 heralds from chest is really potent
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
surprised it isnt using the 1L helm
yeah that's the budget version
O
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 
It's a really comfy speed t16 farmer though
pcan use the scarab to keep scarabs
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
tratatrta gems from heist only?
yeah trarartasturus gems are heist only
I think you can get them as a special reward from gem rooms too
but ask a heister, I hate that mechanic lol
i think logbooks can drop them too but that's a bug?
"special reward from gem rooms" where else did u have in mind
I got mine from the reward at the end
@wheat sinew am I tripping or is cog? One of us is wrong halp lol
Their are a lot of great auto bomber builds if you're fine with occasionally pressing a button
Sup
cast on portal 
It's reward from gem side rooms
Can you get trathus gems from the reward at the end?
He gonna get banned for that one
No
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
lots of thoughts gets mixed when doing heists
oh you can get them from normal contracts then
i thought they were grand heist only
Here us the list of all rewards: https://github.com/sokratis12GR/Curio-Tracker/blob/main/all_valid_heist_terms.csv
At the end
It's what they are called xd
Neat
so, 284 special items + randomly rolled rare weapon or body with a variety of mods
You got it right pal
and yon't you forget it
dw I will
- trinkets yeaaaa
lorewise no, because they were making new replicas, not just mirroring uniques
sokra had like 200k? wings of results from various people
well, lets say 200k people online run 100 wings, maybe it spawns
I'm kinda curious what the rarest item was
I suspect it's baited breath, even if mirror is in the pool
Probably, reddit might have a mention of it, we don't have it fully confirmed with pictures or data sadly tho, but it's there just in case someone finds one and records it
Makes sense
its so rare its in fishcord
I think baited breath is the hardest currently obtainable item, coupled with plaited ring
plaited ring is "ez"
but someone farmed 20 plaited rings in a league
took me only 3m kills for one
is replica bated breath even from heist?
yeah it is
Yes.
i thought it was from something else
it has a card too iirc
like obv it's a replica but
My collection of them is growing steasily
i've never seen one
it's like 10x as rare as a t0 drop isn't it?
beach and strand
"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]"
I wish I had clips back then man
Lol
the fuck kind of item is this
Funny fishing
Trueee and let my boss know I'm not working
hahah
I mean it's chill usually I finish up work before doing anything but the stress is there
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Replica_Bated_Breath
It's the hardest obtainable item afaik
I LOVE MY SCARAB BEING TWO DIV
A coworker got laid off because he was streaming xd
ye i was talking about the reqs for anglers plait
I LOVE LOSING MY FIFTY FIFTY EVERYTIME
Btw poeladder has good info
they're weird
randomly drops from rares while wearing corrupted slitherpinch
those gloves arent even associated with fishing
slitherpinch? yeah they are
Those fuckers go wild hunting for completions
they're fishing uniques
they are like eels
oh wtf they can drop from the fishing item card
but they have no fishing mods or flavor text
lmao
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
theyre also global drop/chance
Slitherpinch, Worm flask, Fairgrave's Tricorn are all fishing uniques
I was doing some random ass cyclone build
Rainbow STride too
worms are not a fishing unique asre they?
They are
wack
lots of things in poe are worms
hahaha
Iksy do ya like new scion
im okay with scion change if they dont remove ascendant
It looks very intriguing but I dislike it feels just a reuse
but maybe fix some of the ascendant nodes
If it's finally a 2ndRy ascendancy would be great
Heh?
kanai's cube 
Ah yeaaa
imagine how many builds you can make good with obliteration
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?
Are you asking if 20% pops are good? lol
