ROFL

tranquil sedge
#

...no you can't

#

that isn't even close to 'lots'

loud geyser
cobalt blade
#

you can if its a corrupted no mod rare map you use twist of fate on Pogott

loud geyser
#

but you can still get a decent amount of gold

tranquil sedge
#

that isn't even 'decent'

#

that is piss poor

cobalt blade
#

also anything less than 40-50k gold in a map is pretty irrelevant

tranquil sedge
#

considering that the base standard is just alch and go t16s lol

cobalt blade
#

you can get like 30-40k gold running a synth map

tranquil sedge
#

anything less than an alch and go t16 is dogshit

#

you're just wasting time if you try to get gold at a rate worse than that

#

better off just grinding to improve your build instead and farm gold later

loud geyser
#

true alch and go is my standard tbh

tranquil sedge
#

im not trying to be rude or crap on you, its just that there's enough misconceptions about kingsmarch that i call out things related to that whenever necessary

loud geyser
#

i didn't think you were being rude 😛

#

i do agree that alch and go should be baseline

#

what i said is highly disagreeable for factual reasons

#

i base it off trying it myself, maybe because i didn't reach nuts level of gameplay yet i have yet to see and comprehend the comparison

earnest sapphire
worldly bridge
#

as ive learned

#

it should really be pushed on the player more to vaal their maps if thats what is intended

loud geyser
worldly bridge
#

i only ever do it for progression

loud geyser
#

otherwise i don't risk adding unnecessarily difficult mods

earnest sapphire
#

lowk i dont think very many ppl actually vaal their maps

#

ppl who run corrupted maps just run 8mods

worldly bridge
#

they dont

#

i have always ran just alch'd maps

#

up until phrecia i did a fe 8mods

loud geyser
#

yeah i spent too much time fucking around with random ass builds that end up costing too much

#

im gna play something meta as leaguestart for mirage

#

then cook after

cobalt blade
earnest sapphire
#

only time i vaal my maps is during progression

cobalt blade
#

alch vaal for the quality

earnest sapphire
#

then i just buy 8mods or roll for good mods on t16.5s

cobalt blade
#

atleast for non 16.5/t17

worldly bridge
#

run like 5 t17s with a shit ton of map chance then never have to farm again

tawdry olive
#

Take twist of fate so that your atlas vaals your map for you galaxyBrainSkill

worldly bridge
#

spend 200c on 17s just to come out with like 500c of t16s

cobalt blade
#

though this is actually a fun strat

tawdry olive
#

oh right i forgot

cobalt blade
#

specifically on t17's where you delete shitty citadels

#

or on vaal temples

tranquil sedge
#

most ppl misunderstanding why juicing maps even works

tawdry olive
#

tbh depending on your strat, its also just great for being able to chuck whatever trash T16 into your map device and have the expected value of an 8 mod map in return

tranquil sedge
#

its coz basically everything is a 'more' modifier not an 'increased'

tawdry olive
#

without having to buy or farm maps, you do sometimes need to run ass layouts

worldly bridge
#

anyway its back to all ears progression for me

cobalt blade
#

gl not missing anything Pogott

worldly bridge
#

havent yet

#

blessed be the guide

earnest sapphire
cobalt blade
#

ah nice

worldly bridge
#

yeah im not doing all ears with no guide, you can very easily brick the run by doing stuff out of order

tight plinth

#

im so interested to find out what "Choose your wish" means for mirage

hard cliff
loud geyser
#

will there be a wish system when you enter a map?

tawdry olive
worldly bridge
#

my guess is its gonna be like altars with a upside downside

loud geyser
#

time acceleration mechanics?

#

or deceleration?

cobalt blade
cobalt blade
loud geyser
worldly bridge
#

i dont think this has anything to do with speed

#

its more so, chronology

#

the order of things

tight plinth
#

i wish a for very endowed goth gf

worldly bridge
#

not how fast they happen

loud geyser
#

i swear the first teaser

#

gave the impression of time mechanics

worldly bridge
#

is fucking with the order of events in a timeline not "time" enough for you

#

time can be more than speed up and slow down

loud geyser
#

true

#

theyre gonna cook some shit

#

we're going to the desert

worldly bridge
#

the round and the flat have gotten it too well for too long

#

everything in moderation they say

stuck phoenix
hard cliff
#

I wish self cast spells get support gem buffs

ember goblet
hard cliff
tight plinth
#

they should make infused channeling work for normal hand cast spells

loud geyser
#

so with the graft tree staying, i guess breach wont make it back onto the atlas tree and we'll continue with the graft tree?

tight plinth
#

infused casting or something

loud geyser
#

or is that tbd

#

i imagine they can still remove some elements from the graft tree (like how implants are being removed)

hard cliff
loud geyser
#

and give us back breach on atlas

#

options like "walls no longer appear in breaches" or some shit

tight plinth
hard cliff
#

pinpoint?

worldly bridge
#

do people not read the posts

#

or like, know how adding a league works

#

😭

tight plinth
worldly bridge
#

if they add it to core theyre obv going to add passives

tight plinth
#

intensify

#

idk why its only for area damage tho

loud geyser
hard cliff
tight plinth
#

or they could just have intensity built in for hand cast tbh

hard cliff
#

I wonder what this would be good on

#

firestorm

worldly bridge
#

isnt aoe bad for firestorm because its spread out

#

so it hits single target less

tight plinth
#

yep

#

i wonder how early do blight maps start being sold marauderthinking

cobalt blade
#

w/+1 intensify mastery quite good

worldly bridge
#

i just learned you can brand recall to tactical nuke bosses with armagedon brand

#

this is awesome

cobalt blade
#

oh you should look into the saboteur triggerbots setup for that

#

its funky

tight plinth
#

how do you search for divine inscribed ultimatum?

tight plinth
#

oh im dumb

cobalt blade
#

and the % more monster life mod determines the tier of the ultimatum

tight plinth
#

i was using the stat filter

tight plinth
cobalt blade
#

just the mod on the ulti

#

30>70>120>200

#

so you just add it as a stat filter

steel light
#

@cobalt blade u know this reward type is from currency or?

cobalt blade
#

afaik none of those affect your chances for it most of them are gotten from 5:1ing ultis

#

if you do all 200% more monster life ultis in your vendor you only get 200% more monster life ones and this is a 200% monster life only one

steel light
#

so currency max is on 8D 30% damage 120% health, there's no further better reward from 50% 200%?

cobalt blade
#

i actually dont know if they increases the cap to a 16d sacrifice after increasing dorb stack but i think yes

steel light
#

like unique 50% 200% usually will be t0 and div card will be those OP cards reward

cobalt blade
#

yea

steel light
#

there's no further more than 8D i think, i've not see any lock or mirror related currency
hence i was thinking if copy is weirdly listed under currency

viscid ruin
#

give me your most basado build hijosdelaverga

ocean field
#

how much max ele hit do you typically need?

#

when running fully juiced t17

tight plinth
#

more than 200

ocean field
#

....

#

200 what apples oranges

cobalt blade
#

as much as youcan because your gonna be running -max pen maps

#

with volatiles

ocean field
#

ah one exception assuming I don't run max pen maps then??

#

volatiles I have suppress shouldn't pose too much of a threat

cobalt blade
#

prolly like 100k-150k is fine assuming non conditional

#

less if HH build

ocean field
#

hmm

#

150K huh

#

damm

#

I thought I could swap my resistance flasks to something else

#

but it looks like I can't

cobalt blade
#

your asking for maps that end up with 2-3 damage mods including the t17 200% phys as extra before mod effect or whatever

#

lol

ocean field
#

yeah true

tranquil sedge
#

i mean it depends on what 'juice' is

ocean field
#

except say the ele pen

tranquil sedge
#

yea 6 figure ele max hits pretty much then

#

and high 5 figure phys and chaos

cobalt blade
#

phys is somewhat mitigated by being evasion+block but yeah

tranquil sedge
#

for reference i had like 50k phys max hit in 3.26 unconditionally and i was still getting clapped by catarina plenty in t17s if i rolled like triple damage mods or something with enough juice like titanic and stuff

cobalt blade
#

20-30k phys max hit and like 80% evade feels good enough

surreal musk
#

100k phys 300k ele

cobalt blade
#

With the exception of xandro

tranquil sedge
#

'worst possible' is an incredibly high bar

#

'required to realistically farm well juiced t17s' is a lot lower

ocean field
tranquil sedge
#

especially if you can make up for it with recovery or damage

tranquil sedge
#

all she needs is to hit me hard enough once

cobalt blade
tranquil sedge
#

^

#

and in 3.26 you could get north of like 700% phys as ele on a t17 if you rolled all the mods at once

ocean field
#

hmm let me run a cooked map and check

cobalt blade
#

With inc aoe for extra fun

ocean field
#

what worst mods btw

cobalt blade
#

unstable tentacle fiends with -max pen phys as extra

tranquil sedge
#

this was my msoz jugg in 3.26, here's my max hits with and without immortal call

#

you do not have uptime on immortal call, obviously, its only there occasionally

#

and i died plenty often with the wrong set of mods coz i refused to not run those maps

cobalt blade
#

progen?

tranquil sedge
cobalt blade
#

Ah explains the max hit then

tranquil sedge
#

the next upgrade for tank would have been sublime vision lol but i stopped before that

cobalt blade
#

sublime honestly makes you less tanky in some of them

tranquil sedge
#

https://pobb.in/1AligEYZNdLQ
here's the pob, ignore the damage it makes no sense idk anymore about the configs

cobalt blade
#

losing flesh and stone is pain

#

Makes you more tanky on average though in most content

ocean field
#

am I tweaking or is there only 2 mods for damage

cobalt blade
ocean field
#

I missed this one

#

but that seems to be it

#

hmm

cobalt blade
#

these are all damage mods

tranquil sedge
#

the ceiling might be lower now i dont recall if 700% phys as extra was with risk scarabs, might have been?

#

and map effect's been nerfed now of course

ocean field
#

I am crit immune

tranquil sedge
#

max hit is only one side of the equation

ocean field
#

only thing being an actual issue is maximum resistances

tranquil sedge
#

the less recovery you have the more max hit you need to make up for not being at full all the time

#

so things like chain and aoe and extra proj start mattering

cobalt blade
#

marked for death is 50% inc damage taken less defence is gonna destroy your es

bruh

tranquil sedge
#

oh okay
idk what that had to do with this lol

ocean field
#

assasin accendy

tranquil sedge
#

o

#

its not like this can't run t17s

ocean field
cobalt blade
#

youll get hard cooked by less defence on that

#

-50% of your ES and evasion is fun

ocean field
tranquil sedge
#

honestly just go run some maps

#

like you'll find out real quick if ur tanky or not

#

pob is fun to a limit after that just play the game lol

ocean field
#

I am goona try caterina

cobalt blade
#

this is also a fun damage mod

#

love hasted aoe catarina

truly, fuck kalandra league

spice pecan
tranquil sedge
#

i haven't watched the video but don't need a video to agree with that

spice pecan
#

its about way more than kalandra

#

so far it's pretty good, it's way higher than his normal production quality

ocean field
#

gonna try this

nah

ok let me cook

chat what do you think

screw that

this looks way cooler

no one cares

who would care if I post a fucking div/horny scarab ting at the end of the league, or even worse: on std

hard cliff
ocean field
#

@tranquil sedge ok I will try this out fam wish me luck

tight plinth
#

no, its from some rando channel i passed by the other day

#

that is without the spikes damage btw

hard cliff
#

thats awesome

#

very interesting weapon choice

tight plinth
#

ngl, it looks good for how basic the gear is

barren river
#

fract t1 chaos on a helm

tight plinth
#

i mean you could use another frac and use chaos res essence

barren river
#

not very league starter to me

split pagoda
#

id much rather just play a normal slammer

barren river
#

i'd rather not play a slammer

ocean field
#

well time to put the theory to test

ewwwww

worldly bridge
#

what kind of weapon do i want for brand levfelling

#

in HC

#

just anything with flat dmg to spells or sceptres

heady cliff
#

+2/+4 honourhome

#

(not a weapon but whatever)

worldly bridge
#

im not

#

buying a unique

brazen vector
#

and people laughed at me for listing it at that price, smh smh

worldly bridge
#

id have to actually roll the sockets and shit

bold scarab
#

Wand just easiest ... And lets you use a shield for shield charge

worldly bridge
#

whoever shared the brand levelling a fwe days ago, the pob uses a one handed axe and a sceptre lmao

bold scarab
#

And you can use the ele res shields to level with to get some free res

#

Eventually probably Sceptre and spell shield

#

Then swap shield charge for leap slam

#

But you need alot of cast speed to make up for the base type downgrade

#

1.4 down to 1.1 will be noticeable

worldly bridge
#

i prefer shield charge most fo the time

#

but i have a sceptre rn

#

havent found a better wand yet

bold scarab
#

Then ye probably just stick to wand and normal shields

#

Well it depends

#

If it's penance brand the reason they might have been using the axe was probably to do something dot related

#

Either that or battlemage/spellblade and just converting flat dmg to flat spell dmg

worldly bridge
#

armageddon

#

BRUH

#

you cant craft flat spell daamge if it already exists on the item

#

why do attacks get all the cool shit

bold scarab
#

Spells have implicitly high base dmg that scales a lot better with gem levels

#

While attacks don't scale all that well with levels ... And get their flat dmg from your flat dmg

#

And they just add a multiplier to it (positive or negative)

#

Not saying flat dmg to spells is useless ... It just falls off a cliff by middle maps

worldly bridge
#

attack player plays a real spell build for once

#

i dont consider my aristocrat a real spell build

#

that build got so much free shit from nothing

spice pecan
#

i think it finally hit me guys

#

strats were so mid this league that we had videos of people vendoring scarabs, to sell to others, who would then vendor them and repeat

#

crying in the club rn

worldly bridge
#

ok kitava time

worldly bridge
#

you cna vendor scarabs?

spice pecan
#

3 to 1

worldly bridge
#

ooooo

#

didnt know you could do that

#

neato

finite quail
#

Scarab vendoring is almost always profit

spice pecan
#

it's just like, sad

finite quail
#

But it takes a shit ton of gold and a good amount of players playing

#

It's also very tedious

spice pecan
#

it didn't even take gold if you just bulk sell your tabs after you pick the good ones out

#

but yeah, still

finite quail
#

Going one by one on faustus listing checking the prices to find good ratios

#

Ugh

#

Don't wanna do that ever again

spice pecan
#

idk it just made me kinda bummed when i realized that both fub and empy made videos on vendoring scarabs because there was little else to even do in terms of juicing

worldly bridge
#

jokes on you i do that with all of my scarabs anyway

finite quail
#

If they're mine and I farmed them sure

#

I don't keep shitty scarabs like the ultimatum or einhar spawn ones

tawdry olive
finite quail

heyyy guuyysss i fell victim to the harvestgoon disease

livid quarry
#

poverty turns ppl

#

into horrible things

spice pecan
#

idk, i'm super on fub's side on this one tbh

#

at least from his last video

finite quail
#

There's two gangs here

#

Fubgooners, and normal people

spice pecan
#

i'm certainly not a fubgooner but i don't think he's always wrong

finite quail
#

I'm just bullshitti

surreal musk
#

loot is fine i got 2 fusings and an instilling orb from my last map

finite quail
#

I don't watch anything related to him anyways

#

Only poe creator I watch is empy

#

And rarely ziz

spice pecan
#

empy is the one i watch the most for sure

tawdry olive
#

3.28 will likely be a loot league, whether they address it at the foundation or introduce another loot crutch is uncertain

but loot has always kinda been "give and take" with them. They ration it like the national reserves lmao. With the community all mad like this they'll give you some, all is forgiven, and then the cycle begins anew

spice pecan
#

i think snap made a pretty good point, this is like the first league where we really haven't had a loot crutch and it show how bare the base game is

surreal musk
#

idk how there arent more anti group play people that shit is terrible for the game , even just from a map supply point of view like maven chisels and scarabs like pandemonium are completely unusable for most players cause group play gets to abuse them and get 6x the value

finite quail
#

It can't always be loot buffs or loot staying the same

#

There's gotta be loot highs and lows

spice pecan
#

anti group ppl 🙄

finite quail
spice pecan
#

solo players make way more than individual group players which is so funny to me

finite quail
#

it's more efficient that way

surreal musk
#

nothing to do with div/hr

finite quail
#

Sure you can juice the fuck out of 6 man maps but it dont matter as much as long as you can make similar money alone

spice pecan
#

would you prefer t0s not to be available on trade

finite quail
pulsar dune
#

There are enough endgame options that it's kinda fine that some items are just wholly unusable without a group

spice pecan
#

groups aren't even eating the amount of supplies you think they are

uneven gust
pulsar dune
#

Sure, if you don't have 5 friends you'll never play curation scarab

spice pecan
#

and there are so few groups, you can count the number of efficient 6man groups on one hand

pulsar dune
#

Or whatever the fancy one is every league.

finite quail
spice pecan
#

yeah, those maps take forever

#

and you're chiseling/orbing one single map and using scarabs for one single map for SIX people

pulsar dune
#

I mean, there have definitely been map fragments priced around group play in the game before

uneven gust
#

You know much as i hate to say it, that's one thing d3 got right

You could play with your friends and not miss on loot

surreal musk
#

no solo strategies get to even use some supplies because the price is based on the value they will give to group play strats , like maven chisels and pandemonium scarabs.

cobalt blade
spice pecan
#

so you're using 1/6th the supplies, at probably 10% the speed of a solo player

spice pecan
#

but sure groups are the problem

finite quail
#

bro

cobalt blade
finite quail
#

Some strats are simply group only

cobalt blade
#

like it just requires so much rarity to make worth running

pulsar dune
#

Rogue exile bottles, curation scarab from history come to mind

finite quail
#

And the prices set by groups arent really set by groups as they are not the majority of those strat runners, unless it's a group only strat

cobalt blade
#

(specifically chisels are based on solo play splitting the maps after chisel)

cobalt blade
#

curation too but only if you had a mirror or 2 to dump into getting it started initially

#

since you could have dry streaks

pulsar dune
#

Really, solo bottles

#

IG it was broken enough

finite quail
#

And if that was the problem anyways, simply run another strat that gets you similar div/h to afford the other strat

#

I really dont get the anti group play sentiment

cobalt blade
heady cliff
#

group play solved.

cobalt blade
#

god i wish

spice pecan
#

holy

finite quail
#

Shit take

cobalt blade
#

to be fair they would still benefit from the higher total rarity and ability to run rippier maps early on

#

(on w/e rarity culler)

#

but ye their early unique farming would be taken over by solo players much faster

finite quail
#

The reason why groups get loot benefits is from both the added difficulty, and because you're running one map instead of six maps at once

tranquil sedge
#

they dont understand that adding 1 player does not double loot

#

adding 6 players does not 6x loot

finite quail
#

Letting solo players get the same benefits invalidates group play, its the same as if you just deleted it entirely

cobalt blade
#

they also dont understand a bunch of mechanics not scaling with group play at all

tranquil sedge
#

i mean you can already make more solo than any group player will

#

the only requirement is to be good at the game

spice pecan
#

yeah group players literally can't run any loot tile mechanic (all of the half decent mechanics at this point are loot tiles)

cobalt blade
#

yuuup

tranquil sedge
#

even when empyrian literally puts out his per-player profit/hr calculation every league

#

reddit cries about it

#

coz they're too fucking mentally challenged to understand the logic

#

you'll never convince people who think group play is op, that it is in fact just them having a skill issue

#

don't even waste the effort to try

cobalt blade
surreal musk
cobalt blade
#

in that same amount of time

#

or the people who do week 1 voids

tranquil sedge
spice pecan
tranquil sedge
#

the main potential impact would be the cost of entry materials

cobalt blade
#

and the loot generated was maybe 3-4x

tranquil sedge
#

and they think wow these guys are playing a broken game

#

and love to ignore that its loot being split at minimum 6 ways, realistically like 7-8 ways

spice pecan
#

so the 6 ppl you see in the map are making less per split than traders

cobalt blade
#

yup

Final splits of group "week" for Keepers of the Flame league.
︀︀
︀︀Numbers:
︀︀3112 divines: 8 mirrors at 305 div each = 2440 div + 672 div.
︀︀
︀︀Even split this time around:
︀︀6 mappers and 2 main traders
︀︀1 mirror + 84 div per person
︀︀
︀︀Total time played: 72 hours
︀︀Real farming playtime after atlas setup and testing some worse strats: 45 hours
︀︀
︀︀389 divs per player over 45 hours comes out to be 8.6 div per hour. This includes all AFK and downtime (not offline time). This does not include the currency made on Mirror appreciation. We bought 7 of our mirrors at an avg of 203 div (and found 1) so we made 714 divs on the value of Mirrors increasing. Without that, a person in the party made 6.3 div per hour.
︀︀Like we said, poverty league :D

#

found their keepers split for example

tranquil sedge
#

yeah
every single league he proves the numbers lol

cobalt blade
#

8.6div an hour is not great

tranquil sedge
#

his per/hr div is less than the better solo players

#

he just gets more stream content and fun out of doing what he does

#

plus its more relaxing to team up

cobalt blade
#

yup

surreal musk
#

no1 is saying solo players cant keep up in div/hr

#

no1 said that

tranquil sedge
cobalt blade
#

for sure

tranquil sedge
#

people do say that

#

or well they ignore that you can

finite quail
spice pecan
finite quail
#

if solo players can afford the resources to run maps because they get similar or better div/h

#

who's losing here?

tranquil sedge
#

also like another thing

its not like his group is 6 randoms

#

its 6 already good players in a group

#

meanwhile the average casual player tries to compare

#

yea no shit lol you aren't keeping up

cobalt blade
#

kek going the less toxic route

tranquil sedge
#

any one of his group could wipe a casual in solo player comparison too

#

but again, more things that the reddidiots ignore

native abyss
#

the crazy thing is i’m so good at the game no one can compete so many divs an hour

im not gonna blame ehg

#

of course

#

also i thought ehg DID sell the game to krafton

#

but kept the company of EHG

cobalt blade
#

krafton acquired ehg afaik

tranquil sedge
#

they mismanaged their game and ran it out of profitability

native abyss
#

LE was okay imo but the end game was kinda lacking

tranquil sedge
#

then the founder cashed out to krafton

#

now ehg = krafton

#

they're one and the same now

worldly bridge
#

ok

tranquil sedge
#

coz krafton owns them

worldly bridge
#

you cant like soap box about selling something when its life changing money

#

i wanna see you turn down money that secures your and your family's future

tranquil sedge
#

no, of course not

#

i'd do the same in a heartbeat

worldly bridge
#

ok just making sure

#

i run into lots of people that like to get on their high horse and all "oh i wouldnt sell out"

#

yeah alright, its millions of dollars bud

#

i make 300 a week

thick goblet
tranquil sedge
#

its hilarious

worldly bridge
#

if youre taking about other aspects of the game than the accquisitino then i probably agree

#

i enjoyed 100 or so hours of the game

cobalt blade
worldly bridge
#

but when i was playing during the weaver league i just kinda didnt feel like there was anything to do than reset the "atlas" over and over

I wish for a good leaguestart

Sorry sport, that's against da rules

worldly bridge
#

no clue how to progress no clue how do the cool unique LP stuff

#

the most aspirational content was the new uber that required giga gear and a hyper specific build that most people didnt play

#

also the game is like, almost TOO frictionless

its too smooth

#

For this item, does it count reservation of each or all to 45%?

cobalt blade
#

each

tranquil sedge
#

i think that anyone who isn't already rich would also sell out if they were given a choice, like 999 times out of 1000

but at the same time it puts a huge damper on the way the LE fans talk about EHG devs and the game, like that they were driven to the point of acquisition proves their entire business model was unsustainably flawed and to an extent, they sold hot air lol

fickle glen
thick goblet
#

i really hope if 3.28 is prophecy league 2.0, they just copy le's system
it's probably the best part of the game

cobalt blade
#

Its use case is linking supports to heralds

#

You empower it give it woke cold whatever it still only reserves 45%

#

instead of 200%

uneven gust
#

Le went bankrupt because the servers were too expensive and nobody bought support packs

That tucan singlehandedly saved them from eating ramen for a week

poe2 has better ground loot ffs

Pls don’t call it woke lmao

worldly bridge

woke bug is horned scarab of awakening

tranquil sedge
#

awakened is many letters

#

woke is fewer letters

cobalt blade
#

i will absolutely call it woke its so much faster to type

worldly bridge
#

woke is way easier

tranquil sedge
#

why type many word when few word do trick

uneven gust
#

Why not say wankened?

fickle glen

Because woke is a movement

these are the same people that say wed instead of edwa

green elm
#

Hello. I'm about to start POE1, should I play standard or keepers?

spice pecan
#

keepers

tranquil sedge
#

its also the same reason we called 'increased elemental damage with attacks' as 'wed' when its no longer actually 'weapon elemental damage'

tranquil sedge
uneven gust
tranquil sedge
#

i strongly recommend you wait 2 weeks to play the game.

#

start the new season 3.28 on 6th march

green elm
cobalt blade
#

so you might wanna consider waiting or just learning campaign

tranquil sedge
#

standard is not worth playing if you have the willingess to play league

thick goblet
tranquil sedge
#

if they spend days doing campaign and then it ends a week later and they have to redo it

cobalt blade
#

idt its too bad to learn the initial bits of the game but fair

green elm
#

oh 🙁

silent leaf
green elm
#

maybe better to wait for the new league

spice pecan
#

i would wait, unless you don't mind messing around a bit until march 6th

tranquil sedge
# green elm oh 🙁

standard is the 'permanent' league but its economy is beyond fucked from a new player perspective

the vast majority of people play in the temporary leagues like keepers (3.27) and now mirage (3.28) on 6th march

#

fresh economy, more players, new league mechanic/balance changes/etc

uneven gust
# green elm maybe witch

Skill playatyle is more important since nothing is class locked
The most beginer friendly builds
We got
Bow +tanky+dot(tox rain)
Fireballs with legs(srs)
Big unga bunga slams

green elm
#

if the league is over, will all my currency go back to standard?

tranquil sedge
#

correct

worldly bridge
tranquil sedge
#

thats why the economy is fucked

worldly bridge
#

most people go by the skills not the class

tranquil sedge
#

coz it has 10+ years of wealth moved into it over leagues lol

spice pecan
worldly bridge
#

well skills first THEN class

cobalt blade
green elm
cobalt blade
#

Pricing makes 0 sense for anything

tranquil sedge
#

but as for deciding when you play, i personally would wait till 3.28 starts then go nuts

uneven gust
#

You like cold spells?

Or coldhits?
Or just getting aloe to freeze?

worldly bridge
#

ive heard winter orb is funny

spice pecan
#

elementalist has been really good the last two leagues, i'm sure she'll be decent next league but who knows

cobalt blade
#

would not recommend that to a new player

#

its uh scaling early on is questionable

uneven gust
#

I reccomend cold dot golemancer i guess

Or glacial cascade

spice pecan
#

lmao

green elm
#

if I play keepers now, will my currency go to standard by March 6th?

green elm
#

thanks

cobalt blade
#

currency and character yea

spice pecan
#

it will move over on the 2nd/3rd, and then there's a couple days until the new league starts on the 6th

green elm
#

any good elementalist build links?

covert swanBOT

A short list of places to find builds for new players:

Maxroll.GG's leaguestarter buildguide section has high quality build guides

If you are more into video guides, a playlist by the youtuber Zizaran, he also has a bunch of other video guides for new players.

A collection of minion build guides created/ curated by GhazzyTV

You can also always find popular builds on the Builds section of Poe.ninja, but those aren't really guides, just snapshots of live player builds without any explanation for what makes them good or not good.

tranquil sedge
#

the maxroll ones have build showcase videos

spice pecan
#

can't really say right now to be honest, we don't have patch notes yet, but elementalist can basically play anything

tranquil sedge
#

see what looks fun

green elm
#

thanks... will think about it 🙂

uneven gust
#

But yeah, say you're a beginer player rather than new, new in poe is like 500-1k hrs

spice pecan
#

it doesn't matter lol

tranquil sedge
#

after that its just youtube '<league> <ascendency> leaguestarter' search and you only look at reputed creators

e.g. 3'.27 gladiator leaguestart build' search

worldly bridge
#

if you want something, in my opinion, really unique to poe you should check out Locahols kinetic fusillade elementalist videos

#

its not a spell its a "wand attack"

uneven gust
#

I'm like the sorting hat when it comes to which build people will like

worldly bridge
#

but its a really fun skill

uneven gust
#

No attacks! Attacks bad for new player, bad

worldly bridge
#

its not super simple but he explains things pretty well and you can always ask for help

#

attacks are fine what :<

#

people suggest slams all the time

uneven gust
#

Slams don't attack

cobalt blade
spice pecan
#

what

worldly bridge
#

slams are attacks

cobalt blade
#

as is common by now

worldly bridge

im confused

They don't check accuracy

cobalt blade

they do

uneven gust

Wut

cobalt blade

people just take resolute technique

worldly bridge
#

im so confused what youre trying to convey lmao

cobalt blade

To ignore accuracy

uneven gust
#

UHM o

spice pecan
#

bruh

worldly bridge
#

the build guides talk about accuracy

uneven gust
#

Cool!

cobalt blade
worldly bridge
#

and take acc nodes

#

for wands

#

😭

uneven gust
worldly bridge
#

if theyre going to a build guide i expect them to want items similar t othe build, and to click the same nodes

#

so basically yes

spice pecan
#

person asks what league to click, and you start rattling off build questions, so i guess that tracks

worldly bridge
#

also, if they are having issues they can share pob and someone will go "your acc is bad heres how to fix it"

Speaking of cat I've been digging the mewgenics songs

#

man i love pressing brand recall

#

its a fuckin nuke

cobalt blade
#

triggerbots automation brand recall is really funny

#

you just double your brand triggers without the damage loss

spice pecan
#

it's sad at the same time

#

because it costs eighty billion mana

cobalt blade
#

yeaaah but its also one of the strongest raw damage early setups

worldly bridge
#

why would that cost giga mana?

#

recall is ilke 12 mana

cobalt blade
#

it spends 20% of the brands cost x2 from triggerbots x maybe 5-7 brands

worldly bridge
#

oh right

#

20% for each brand then

cobalt blade
#

now you take cdr to make the automation trigger every 2.5-3sec(enhance ashes w/e) and it destroys your mana

spice pecan
#

dont need a lot of cdr when sabo has 50 base

#

just get 2 more somewhere for the next breakpoint

pulsar dune
#

For recall? You want as much CDR as you can get, tho most of it is from quality

spice pecan
#

the next breakpoint after 52 is like 90

#

or 91

pulsar dune
#

Brand Recall has a 4 second cooldown

#

The breakpoints should be much less spread out

spice pecan
#

oh sure yeah, i forgot about the brand recall cd

#

i wish arma brand of recall sabo was more than a meme tho

#

would be nice to play a brand not named pbod

pulsar dune
#

How much damage do you get from it these days?

i wouldnt guess much

Snap video sounds biased tbh

crisp obsidian

snap W fubgun L

prime hill
#

tbh

#

I only watched fubgun's so far and hes right about ground loot

#

I ran like 300 8 mod jungle valleys with 6 mans to level in keepers

#

the loot was genuinely horrible

#

for 8 mods

#

few chaoses per map usually

gritty epoch
#

Snap over exaggerated a few things imo and also from his own perspective

spice pecan
split maple
#

If anything bugged Alva shows it's that you basically need to kill 2k juiced rares per map to get somewhat hoards comparable amount of tink per map from last league

#

Baseline is sad

opal ingot
#

thats sad

prime hill
#

baseline gets destroyed with every nerf they do

#

and I really dont think

#

they don't buff baseline loot after league is over

opal ingot
prime hill

so things stack up

tranquil sedge

as if it makes it any less true lmfao

prime hill

lmao yep

tranquil sedge
#

if the top 1% can't get loot, wtf are the bottom 99% going to get

whatever you guys, im just gonna keep farming harvest

tranquil sedge

redditors and youtube commentors lack logic to the highest degree

prime hill

only strat that worked for me in keepers for ground loot is

gritty epoch

The assumption that the only way to get rich is from ground loot and also nerfing 6 man mf party = nerfing the entire player base

pure ore + blue altar stack

in t16.5 and 17's

opal ingot

if they touch harvest im gonna go ballistic

they fucking sucked in t16 8 mods aswell
