idont know CoE says its 2 though
that's only 1.70
helical and quality are additive btw
its lying to me? im going to be so sad
yes
item mods always round down
welp back to frenzies ralakesh...
sound like a good idea, if you want easy endurance charges, you can save even more points by finding a enduing composure megalo with + 2 good nodes for you, it also pairs really well with elevated endurance boots allowing you to fuel IC while also keeping them topped up
i got enduring + these 2 for really cheap
depends on build
assassins mark
power charge on crit support
that one is only on rare kill
or assassins mark
no
quality gives on hit
its also on hit with quality
Oh! cullings strike is sweet!
oh
disciple of the forbidden can be used too i guess
but its definitly pcoc
charge on block :troll
its not that inconsistent if your 75/75
best pcharge sustain is hierophant
i comfortably sustain endu/frenzy any situation it matters with that lol
yeah I mean having a build that actually uses power charges so you can justify pcoc in main link is ideal
but I only have max 3
its still a 12% more dmg imbue
that has to compete with a 44-52% imbue
oh fair ecoms

actually I guess it's more affordable for now,rolling ecoms is like a whole project I have to do
then again no one is out there using blue coin on double strike
self balancing market or some shit idk
grats
huge
6 mod map with max effect btw
Nice i think i unkrangled my tree succesfully thank you all
yeah that happens
Huge
Nacaaaaaa can you double check my tree?
🥺
i thought i had disconnected when she fell and nothing appeared ...
uuh sure but i have no clue whar your playing
Trust your instincts
im sure they are better than mine
anyone got a good kboc necro pob?
i assume the revision 2,0 one
Yep
I dont think there is anything i missed really but im always afraid i fumbled
isn't it kinda funny how wand attacks are a giant skill archetype but none of the witch ascendancies truly fully spec into it
I guess slightly occultist
Well necro did get that AS thing right?
yeah but it's from consuming corpses
those are themed for dd self cast or some shit yeah
very much a side effect and I think was mainly meant to make corpse gameplay smoother
I mean I guess it's like fine, because assymmetry is pretty good in general
also, there are no ascendancies themed around any specific weapon, so its more of "why dsnt the mage have a warrior specialization" than anything
i dont see any problems but i will note this doesnt work
since your trigger is brand recall
I mean I guess inquisitor does have them trying to make you use spell damage and attack damage simultaneously
of maruader i hope
and brand recall isnt dealing damage
Not even for the extra trigger on the bots?
same reason trigger bots doesnt apply the 35% less
ohh! maybe ill get a new nebulis then
of templar
your triggering brand recall and then brand recalls activates the brand the brands themself are never a trigger
its funny :3
with an accurate neck length
are there any jewels that increase curse limit
also dont know if you have enough uh life to sustain the brand triggering
but thats something youd find out ingame
sure, send hte phising link
I put together a temporary Ward Loop setup to see if it would run, but it doesn’t seem to work properly. My Ward layer is around 870, and it drops to about 30 while flask effects are active. I’m starting to wonder if this build actually needs a certain minimum absolute Ward value for the loop to function.
its fine
I have found that its somehow enough? I dont know how it works but if you see the demo my health isnt going down with all the triggers while mapping
at least i don think it is?
the closest is impossible escape for chaos innoculation which lets you take whispers of doom
otherwise no
oh fair enough then
I mean i will do the math it has to be 9 brands twice so 18 times the life cost
worse case there is an infamous mod for life costs i could use
where u get infamous mods
heist
miraged rogues
From infamous people
miraged rouges i can understand, but heist?
its 20% of brand cost per brand recalled
doryanis secret game stash
i c
Kinda expensice this one
wait, heist is only for the gems? weird
yeah the mods were gone in 3.27
so 5 brands --> once the cost
18 brands--> 3,3?
there are so many options on what to use spare gem slots on now
like I could easily have a companionship setup. or a consecrated ground plus power charge setup
Any word on if POE1 will get a new league when POE2 does? or is it going to end up being drawn out again like settlers?
or a travel skill
why would they ever be simultaneous
yuh i think
self competition
no word as of yet, but they are probably fucking us over again
phrecia me
the 6l IC is the goat
link?
Darn, for me poe1 still the better game. Poe2 feels like poe1 in slow motion.
I don't like the tree balancing
youd have to test it in an open area but i think its just not triggering every brand but your life recovery is good enough you dont die
good for you. this isn't the place for it
When you look at node usage on the tree, it's pretty obvious the tree is awful
it's never simultaenous
anyone got some fun mageblood builds i can go? i'm making a wheel to decide which ones i can do!
expect a new league in like july
"mageblood builds" are not really a thing
dual strike of ambidexterity aura stacker necro
mageblood is something you slap on to existing builds
ye yeyeye i actually forgot to trigger the doppleganger for 10% regen so my recovery is arounr 1500 regen in combat
well stuff i can use it for thats what i meant haha 😭
what the fuck
anything that isn't already using a unique belt
literally
you heard me right
ye i see
I'm not doing melee attack builds on necro bro
unfortunate
idc if the numbers are good the tree is gonna be awful
like I can't give you specifics because if you have a mageblood and aren't planning on using another unique belt, you should just use mageblood
doing it on shadow would make more sense because he's John crit and surrounded by crit and dagger and claw nodes
necro gets 3% AS per aura
Thanks a lot for taking a look <3
that's like nothing there's not even that many auras
which is why i said aura stacker
it scales with aura effect
and that
if you have x3 aura effect thats 9% as per aura
glad gets +20 attack speed mult when dual weilding
which is fucking broken
:3
foxy jumpscare
so it's like 1.16 more attack speed

and if your base attack speed isnt great this is worse than necro
Ambi you literally just put moonbender on offhand
i so wish you could play eblade ambi
i think gg setup is rare claw offhand but yeah, as long as you can stop moonbender from triggering that works great too
does rational doctrine create profane ground underneath me or underneath the enemies?
though if not using paradoxica/sword MH, I personally am fond of ichimonji offhand
especially on something that's heavy on auras
synth claws better than moonbender yea
where the hit happens
even non synth honestly

so under the enemies?
Rly?
the extra crit multi kinda good
oh wait no dual weilding is 10
ye
ok thats kinda good then
u get an extra 38 crit multi
and claws themself have good attack speed
bro
also on a necro you'd have so much fucking attack speed anyways that like
a slightly slower offhand is zero issue
well, unless you have the bloodline, it barely does anything
like, sometimes 100% inc crit chance and 10% curse effect for a jewel socket is kinda shit, if you can enable both, then its goated
new nebulis!
synth
ye i did mention synth
vs moonbender being that
crit multi quite a bit more valuable imo
(and if you rly wanted double or triple synth for higher multi)
Is this foulborn
ye
the foulborn replaces the phys with attack speed
i was too lazy to go find it on trade so i just made it manually in pob

i guess with voaltile you can get it up to that instead
but i still think claw is better lmfao
it's not actually that amazing of an attack speed the thing that makes it work is decent base crit chance and the fact that trauma support only works on axes and the blunt weapons
well ye but you dont have to be trauma to play ambi
but... imagine....
wym? doenst it give crit chance
and i dont even think you would be since the talk was necro ambi
also holy big nebulis
beating the shit out of yourself 12+ times a second just to reach 1% of minion pact flat phys damage
0.1%*
I didn't actually count idk
its a 100% crit inc, its... fine
im debating replacing it
This chaos dmg ones arent too expensive luckily
I was looking at phys explode too but that starts at 250 divs
but idrk what i couild use instead
what rare jewel helps wardloop tho
And find out
cast on beans support
i mean thats 2 power charges worth of crit chance
its a good jewel socket if your hitting enough which wardloop does
yeah, but its a jewel socket still, prime real state
specially with all the new good unique jewels
mastery?
i would honestly say its above average
emperor's mastery
7% generic attributes
oh
also 5% global def which applies to ward
there are so many underrated jewels like foulborn ancestral visions or foulborn firesong
yeah you can do like ostentation plus runegraft of the fortress for even more ward
fb witchbane gives explode
dreams let you cap block
its bad explode
true
if the explode does too much damage it cant curse on hit = doesnt chain
wouldnt call foulborn ancestral underrated thats p heavily used
what if hexbloom
fortress is bad they are int stack looping btw
well now your manually casting a curse
oh that's a thing
it should be used 100x more than it is tbf
Faithguard is a unique Runic HelmRunic HelmWard: (41-47)Requires Level 25, 30 Str, 30 Dex, 30 Int.
+jiquanis for flat
I mean isn't it just suppress
same for firesong, such a disgusting jewel
10% suppress on a jewel socket is nuts
along with half your ailment avoid
that is fair
weird I thought capping suppress was kinda easy
personally think the avoids more valuable than prevent
oh
my dude it frees up a whole affix or 2
well it also adds ele avoid
profane ground is also 10% curse effect tho
Sucky suck
I was using ancestral vision on my banner character it was so stupid
Sucky boy
Prevent with spell supp mastery and you are back to prenerf suppression and then some
the some more is 1%
youd need inveterate as well
how hard is it theoretically to convert phys to chaos
just mastery and jewel is only 48
osin smile
I don’t see the problem
is foulborn firesong evevn useful for anything
elemental smile
oh right lmao
15% dot multi you get 14% from rare ejwel
oh shit good call
they slashed down to 40? i thought it was 45
i forgot about that
maybe i should learn reading
and the reduced ailment durration on firesong is completely useless
Overwhelming Malice is a notable passive skill can be found on Large Cluster JewelsLarge Cluster JewelPlace into an allocated Large Jewel Socket on the Passive Skill Tree. Added passives do not interact with jewel radiuses. Right click to remove from the Socket. that have an enchantment Added Small Passive Skills grant: 12% increased Chaos Damag...
yea its 40
All necro kboc use this

i also use that but for wither on fross
I thought I was smart
big ignites
overwhelming malice is so annoying because you still die to reflect
true but atleast reflect is easier to mitigate now
unless you are playing flameblast ignite for some reason that ignite duration isnt that impactful
cws
this btw was popular last league for self ignite
and falcrum too
cws does like ignite duration
sure, pretty niche use case tho
evis too
you dont rly needto bother on evis i dont think
you have as many uses of it as you want
how does evis ele work exactly
you stand there menacingly until retal can be used
is it possible to do ubers with glacial cascade elementalist for cheap?
and then you dont 1 shot because its ignite and half to wait a second for it to die anyway
you just wep swap monastery bell to proc evis then swap back
for bossing yeah
MInes? Sure mines are always great
depends on your definition of cheap and if you want to be able to do ubers other than eater/exarch?
/the lonely bosses
yeah, cascade of fisure is one of the top bossing builds rn
they should unrestrict evis to other wep types would actually be quite nice for clearing as well
very sad
all retaliation skills have an awkward shape for any good clear to be done
if you arent miner there is no point to do fissur etho right
as that skill is kinad shit
eviscerate misses a big chunk, fist is too short,swipe is too short
Nothing +1000% inc aoe cant solve!
if it overlaps only 3 times
the cold one with the bell is funny
varunastra 30% more aoe glad node...
cheap as in say 50-100 divs. I can play 6 hours each day for 2 weeks straight. I have started playing this league now and want to do 36/40 achievement.
(I ran that shit unironically)
thats doable
well you only have to hit 1 thing and you just slap bereks on top
you might struggle with that non instantable ones though
if you coulda ctualy use monastery bell with evis normally
then you would just shied chargre into evis and it would actually clear pretty well
but cant rly do that atm so its just sad
and crushing fist has fat less ailment multi
Totems might be better for bossing then? what about storm burst totems or something?
i mean, if retals had good clearr they would be the best thing you could do by a mile
cant miss, gigantic scaling, can ignore dmg and go for tank
yeah they'd have to fuck up the attack speed scaling
evis scales with weapon damage right
yeah
like not the shield
it's not like you can completely ignore damage
well you can do what i just said with divine retribution and literally noone is playing it
it can't be literally no one I saw a video about it
divine retribution is kinda of a trash qol skill tho,, even for a retal
ok 1 person then
ive got no clue for totems honestly
that's good. was worried that I might have chosen a wrong build this late in the league
ah yees the supe rinteresting gearing of shield skills
equip emperorsr vigilance
done
equip varunastra and allocate weapon master
but if they dont glance how will they come up with its numbers
gander
you can craft good enough shield to compete with vigilance its just pain, especially if you dont care about crit
a proper one
is eldritch blasphemy just... better than regular blasphemy?
I mean
thats kinda the point
it is the awakened blasphemy
both are bad anyway
"transformative"
transformative when I show them the greater chain gem
yea tellthat to greater multistrike
eldritch blasphemy at least has worse malediction after 5 seconds
so thats something surely
I wish crafting bis weapons were easier than recomb roulette
it has more aoe too
but yeah
incredibly transformative wow
we kneecapped dot build support gems for this
well look at greater cursed ground, its literally same thing, not a single new line that does anything on that one

i thought it had +1 limit or something
Petition for next league make the damage on weapons have normal weights but only lvl 87 bases can roll them or something
no its hextoad :d
ironically the +1 limit stealth "buff" to cursed ground in poe2 killed my impending doom league start in that game xdd
they should make greater brutality next league and just add "extra gore" on it
PLEASE
I DONT WANT TO ROLL MERCILESS
only if they bring back old old BV so we can set the servers on fire without using an unplayable chest armor
Well 87 bases are kinda hard to find arent they?
yah... thats i was saying itll be much better to pay 10 divs for the base than get wrists issues 2 years earlier every time you want to roll for a weapon
nah for me the problem is I will die of tedium by the time I get there
lucky! :D
wrong
I don't have that kinda damage or survivability
Izaro's gonna slap my ass into the third dimension
whats the closest thing to kinetic blast gameplay in poe2?
also its a bad one, corrupted gem outcomes
ask the poe 2 chat
wrong channel
probably some grenade build but yeah, better to ask them
yes but you know maybe some of you know since kb is in poe
the lightning gun thing
ask the poe 2 chat
fine
there's also that molten sharpnel build or whatever, but that's more like EK of the massacre imo
galvanic shads and LA were the closest to poe1 gameplay that i got
not fun at all, but it was familiar at lleast
they made a KB wand unironically for 0.5
but the stipulation is you have to use blasphemy

I saw it, almost convinced me to re-instal to test
but then I remembered all the other times this happened and how i regretted
The memes about RF coming to poo2 and requiring you to maintain/pay endurance charges,power charges and all charges in the game maybe comes true after all

So you need to pay soul charges? 
which is better, bleed or flicker build in terms of dps, budget is 12 div
probably, but again more like ek than kblast. i would definitely check with the poe2 ppl if they know anything about kblast tho
depends on what bleed build
Bleed probably has more dps with 12 div investment
Id say glad lacerate
Or bleed boneshatter
Both are nice ngl
the bonezone
bonkshatter
Anyone understand the mechanics of ward loop + maven slams? Say you have a sustained ward loop that restores each time it breaks- do you need a max hit capable of taking all 3 of mavens slam ticks, or are their server ticks between each one for the ward to break + restore?
Bonerzone uses 1 hand axe with shield so it's comfy to run foshor
oh that's pussy bonezone
Phrased differently: do all 3 of maven slam hits occur within a single server tick or multiple?
play the chad bonezone
Gotta enjoy lucky block if you want glad 
im not sure if its single or multiple but you can 100% tank it without having the ward to tank 3 as a single large hit
just need to be able to tank 1
I see, so that must mean each hit occurs after 1 or more server ticks, and in a way which allows the hit to trigger the restore loop
https://youtu.be/Mu7FAY3GWD0 fearless dumbo tanking it as an ex a mple and that 36k ward would not be enough to tank all 3
Discharge with the new Heroic Tragedy jewel is truly one of the best builds in Mirage league. Extreme tank, high damage with 100% uptime, and zero buttons.
You can watch me solo to 100 in the breach with many Flask Siphoners in last Thursday's VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2738289639

(possible epilepsy warning)
Why is poo2 pinging me >:(
Poo2 teasing u with crazy uniques
Yeah
Like THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOURE GIVING THEM THE MODERFOKIM TRUMNA FROM WARFRAME BUT NOTHIBG TO POE1
Perma charms or maybe it gives u flask effects of flasks from poe 1
Idek besides that
While playing PoE my PlayStation broke doesn’t power on anymore . So pissed. Only played 10 minutes
All notifications will give you pings for both games
Yeah it could be more potent than poe 1 or it's a joke itself
Maybe coz the ps is too dusty, gotta bring it to the shop i guess
ouch
my personal hope is it rolls 2-4 poe1 flasks and its a painful divine sink
but it would make me consider playing 2 since borderline playable move speed
Dude imagine they bring back attack speed on poo2s mb 
What if mageblood replica
permanent charms
You four uppermost flask effects appky to you 
replica mageblood
your 1-2 leftmost unique flasks constantly apply their effects to you, if applicable
pairing this with replica rumi's on jugg
Yeah its this or maybe new flasks completely which would be cool
What if instead of flask its tinctures
it could be a completely different item alltogether
but idc if it doesnt giv emove speed personally 
anyone know someone with a good kboc setup
OWOWOWOWOWOW
Yep
The maxroll page is over there
Jokes aside
Poeninja has a few
I heard necromancer is a good azcendancy for it
the current charm effects are too dogshit for mageblood to be good with its poe1 effect
so they will probably make it smth different
mana and hp
-1023 div
herald of ash 8 times
herald of purity 7 times
herald of agony 5 times
herald of ice twice
have you tried just hitting
damn almost a mirror
hit b2bs on 4 times
leap slam, heavy strike, cascade and one other one i cant remember
i wanted to do a stranglegasp gamba but havent figured out a build that would benefit greatly
flicker or charge stacker generally
basically any build that really wants things on 2 dif sides of the tree
Sunk cost fallacy
Idk if this is irony or just straight up RNGz but I just ran 4 8 mod strongbox maps and decided to take rarity altars instead of quantity. And within those 4 maps I dropped 1x Seven Years Bad Luck, 6x raw divs, 3x risks, 1x containment, 1x bloodlines, 1x puzzlebox, and a barya man
Like abnormal rng luck on top of other rare div cards
Oh and also a preservation scarab which was a first
honestly surprised they have kept preservation as the rarest scarab with how valuable the scarab slot is
Dude I didn't know what it was I had never seen it
Usually only getting maybe 2 a league when scarab farming
at what point do you reimprint chance and add influ surely thatll help divining 
additive
The Pathfinder mageblood angle node
(It’s not worth it usually
one of the few situations its actually correct to mageblood pf is sanctum
where your unique flasks suck and youd rather consistent permanent move speed
almost anything else eh
don't you just accel shrine belt swap or something
on a pf?
+without good sources of move speed elsewhere accel is worse than mageblood for raw speed
Actually what’s the meta on osin runs these days
Which at that point your just making a whole neew build
i know some do shockwave totems
Besides osin, terror jewels and the bloodline I can’t think of any other reason to sanctum these days, where’s that rework ggg
ok bois
i lose too much dmg not running seething
so i got this weapon and a foulborn vigil
think damage pen on weapons is local
ah fair enough
the solaris wand is p good
the light radius one
but then i might as well use maven wand
if i used that
I can't make shattering good without a diamond belt unfortunately
even w inc crit strikes, scaling a 7% base crit to 100 sucks
That mod isnt
Ur prolly getting confused with the local mod
Attacks with this weapon penetrate blablabla
That one is more common mod and its the one on paradoxica
So u see it more
ye prolly
all ostentations are equal
Some are more equal than others
if you say find a timeless thats good and have ostentation then ill agree


im just messing with you

Would you like some more damage to go with your damage
the answer is always yes
abyss jewels are good for flats
and crit multis
i love ethem
way to cap shock avoid too
for stormshroud
That is a crazy good jewel ngl
Abyss socket my beloved
These days with storm shroud I find the problem is not shock avoid
It’s getting a slot to put storm shroud lmao
Why the fuck is every build so socket starved god help me
i wish im a dagger andy
Voices /s
Quite often I’m like: of course I’ll use voices that will solve the problem!
And then I find out my cluster jewel is actually giving me 18 spell block or smth and I can’t give it up 
there are small clusters that give spell block
just craft those
ez
I have this problem with stats in a lot of my buildz
Like well I can but then the extra points and socket used to solve that just means I wasted it 
Holy..
just make it drop then 
can tree drop overqual items
Yes
never actually clicked that node
It’s a good source of it in fact
You’re missing out so much if you’re doing provisioning lmao
Those are the jackpot especially with good fracture
happens
mami mami home drop me that lich helm!
Tbh the tree is a super consistent money source if you want to bother with provisioning gifts, spend some time just checking the rares and you can get casual 20div from a couple
Twilight regalia and sacred chainmail bases
If you don’t want to, just buy mysterious and roll for ancients it’s guaranteed profit
But well that’s kinda boring
when im using tree its not usually for profit until mid league
i play trade the wrong way when it comes to rare gear tbh
how much worse is it
I thought it was the 3rd best base but turns out it’s level 39
Don’t think the quality will make up for it
what is the body armor used for support animate guardian
is it still garb of ephemeral?
a lot a lot worse
I gots it too
Tiers was so long to get like damn didnt do it
why not just shill for the map 🙁 woulda been easier
aint no way
1 more unique map for a totem piece, though...
i was paying divs for that
its not that bad
A bit of delve or a bit of betrayal, i found 2 in 1 day
i like it
only way i interact with delve is having niko on my map to get me speed buff
also betrayal lol
And betrayal is a form of cancer, sure. But if you're going to play that efficiently, why not just buy it? Especially if you're exiting the league anyway
And you're saying the incredibly phallic totem has no place in a box? Ok...
wait are you that guy been spamming divine in global 2?
Well, you are going to get something a lot of times
ok now roll it again for 10% reservation
that's statistically likely
guess so
I swear I saw you earlier xdd
What are u trying to hit
HoT
This is just chris wilson reaching out from retirement
To tell u that ur build is dog shit
And u should not play it
Did you say the magic words before every attempt
Dont ignore the signs
herald of ash 11 times
herald of purity 7 times
herald of agony 5 times
herald of ice twice
its not even that massive of an upgrade b ut like holy fuck dude just give me it
Hi I’m Chris Wilson from Grinding Gear Games. It’ll work trust the vision.
Is heatshiver strong 🤔
in general? yes
oh geez
its like what, 60% extra fire
How do you choose between Yoke of Suffering and Utmost?
idk i never got utmost kek
i actually don't know why people use utmost
there's got to be zero universe where that's what your amulet slot is being used for
like 1/4 or smth
eh idk theres ppl running leadership price while secrets of suffering
exist
Its better than yoke/omni on generic bow/wand deadeyes
If proper rolled
yeah deadeyes are the only ones i really see using it
crazy that they wouldn't just use like a crit multi heist amulet or something
only if u're stacking rarity tbh
Well folks also do misted iir + crit/edwa heist ammyes yea
oh true utmost is gold amulet base, so yeah i guess it's for mf
i see
crit multi + double rarity
Its not so much dedicated MF as breach blasting
So Strong currency strat anyways
all roads lead to flicker
maybe i should try some t0 strat in trade
y'all think they keeping mirage as like wildwoods?
thats probably the only way they can tbh
I wouldn't mind making it a league mech too tbh but dunno how they even balance that
Maybe like vaal side areas or gift of the goddesses lmao
20% per map
vaal side areas need some love tbh
@short prairie would be proud
you literally just sit there and roll them like a bozo praying for adorned fragments
I have a hot take but I wish there are Atlas Passive Tree for Viridian Wildwood and Sentinels
Just, make adorned unique area 1/500 per chance and it's fine tbh
not a hot take
cold take
give us more stuff indeed
Oh its not? Nvm
make them worth doing at a baseline then too tbh, outside of like day 1 6L farming
Sentinel needs a buff
Yea that's kinda lukewarm
Seriously its a dead mechanic at this point
yep
I mean, sentinels are just, better Ghosted right
ive said this like 10 times but like, they kept the pitiful torment mechanic in the game but removed harbingers
Or rather better implemented
honestly
prefer ghosts over sentinel
with the way you can't do shit to juice sentinel
Honestly just make the Sentinels fly on their own throughout the area and blasting at enemies instead of following yoi
can't make it spawn consistently, can't make it last longer, can't do any frags with it
yeah i mean whenever i get a robot i just pop it on the first pack i see
Rather than fucking ghosted rares
sentinel is pretty useless
oh dont forget
you dont even get any sentinel specific loot
like no exclusive recombination modifiers
nothing
Ghosted does?
no but i can actually force ghosts to spawn
to juice my rares
and i can use the other scarabs if i want
and there's atl east a few atlas nodes for it
Sentinel feels like it belongs in 2 more than 1
The way the game works in 1 is you see mons you kill mons, no time to wait for a robot to shoot their loot beams at the mons to empower them
2 at least has a slower pace (for now) so you can justify having them doing that
even if its not much, its there a little
true
i did really like in the qna for 3.28 how ziggy asked "can synthesis maps.. drop synth items, maybe?" and octavian was like "uhh... probably"
they've been lazy as fuck on synth maps
they REMOVED the content it had
then didnt add anything back
and the best part
yeah
it doesnt even hurt anyone at the top
like, nobody cares
you just roll for synth and its more expensive
There is literally no way to make Sentinels good other than going to a map where its impossible to kill monsters in one or two hits
meanwhile the extra few synth bases that woulda supplied into the market dont exist anymore
casuals can't yolo send uber cortex for 3synth items anymore
its just stupid as fuck
'we removed it, we'll add it back in 10 leagues time guys dont worry!!!'
lol
ok so if i use yoke, my cold dmg can shock 50%?
sure
should've been elementalist instead 
Mercenary?
synth stuff
2 things specifically
- synth maps dropping synth bases by killing the monsters in them
- uber cortex guarantee one triple synth rare drop of a completely random basetype with random implicits
at least with mercs we were told they are interested in doing something with them
synth was just lol fuck you we're removing it
even though heist base changes did take away a little of demand for synth
as well as misting
ultimately only casuals are affected negatively by those 2 changes
which is stupid
and it has basically no bearing on anyone else, except maybe changing profit viability of uber cortex depending on demand for its items and feared profit/hr and stuff
and ofc makes synth supply lower but hey if ur rich wat does it matter if you pay more
still gonna get what you want
when did heist amulets actually start getting used btw?
weren't they kind of unused during/after heist for a while?
3.23
I feel like they should add more interesting synth implicits that make them worth considering
that's fine but make them actually farmable
hmm the actual economic impact there is then less 3synth bases for rolling available (so droping t1 base with any 3impl lil jackpot) and the few synths which are desirable even on 1impl or 2impl base (explodeys, %attrib, charge ones, life on block)
ah right, forgot about the affliction change
there is currently no target farm for synth gear except as a byproduct from ritual or literally creating the gear with harvest
i also like how they act like a magic item having modifiers is/was a bug
yes
and who ultimately runs synth maps
nobody who values time
I have no idea why they removed synth implicit drops from synth maps
excuse you
some folks like them for exp :p
which is the stupidest kind of change
i love synth maps
l0l
they're actually alright exp
when they are synth maps
is it rly
uber cortex gives me exp
yeah why did they nerf synth in the first place
i dont think i was playing then
i run synth rotas for xp and money usually
its kinda bad compared to breach and stuff
Synth maps are very strong solo xp in a certain range
but i also just miss synth maps dropping synth stuff
Much less setup than breach
i see
U just put in the map and blast
gotcha
well if i can't find 5 way rotas on tft in a couple days time
i guess ill try some synth bois
Didn't ultimatum also get the same treatment actually
at 98 its like 5% per rota and 3-4% at 99
Lmfao
yea
if u full clear
3.14 and released back in 3.23
i usually full but skip the shit layout one and just boss rush that one
with the broken walls and w/e everywhere
wait
Sounds like u just hate walls
this is a synth map rota u mean?
Ye
u can do a maven invitation
Its bad at high level because only i80
yeh like 3.5%
Its much stronger xp relatively at low levels
those maps are not even hard to run
yup
and decent profit if u run the invites after
Its ok
cuz chisel
Its a full clear on a bunch of maps
i get that ye
So its not super fast
its not the best but its lazy and easy and not a money sink
but those are easy maps
Its easy tho
🎉
What it is better at is blasting when ur level 70
U dont even have to do the boss or the invite if u dont wanna
right
okay so, theoretical lmao build
Option 1: Viper strike self chill with momentum, but now I gotta click it every 8s or so:
Option 2: fuck that just use 3x highwayman, and now we are a genuinely truly ZERO button build
like this is full on our perma movespeed all the time as soon as we enter the heist, we never need to click shit
we take zero button
300 ms at that point is utterly arbitrary
and you are hard timegated by doors anyways with that kind of ms
so 300 ms extra will speed up your heist exactly zero besides for the occasional zero door exit
thats my thoughts as well
so then the question becomes, I pretty much just use my 6L on chest for phase run + withering step
So baseline itd be
Phase Run - Withering Step - Automation - Enhance - Eclipse - ??? - Lifetap(imbue)
What would we want to put in as last socket? Molten shell maybe?
steelskin
yeah I like the sound of that
molten shell is useless if u dont have enough armor
eclipse gets us a lil bit more speed too
void sphere does not count
dont need it
you have unlucky layouts sometimes
you can automate phase run with withering step? i thought you could only have 1 active at once
two small rooms with doors side by side on the way in for example
with bad basic mobs
i vaguely remember something like 1 travel skill + 1 guard skill max
automation lets you activate both
phase run isnt blink skill
blinks have shared cooldown
and you only have 1 of them (withering step) so its ok
gimme grenade launchers in poe 1
My basic breakdown of poe1 vs poe2 is
Poe1 has:
- crafting
- endgame
- build variety
- bossing
- blowing up heaps of mobs
Poe2 has:
- grenades
Its a difficult choice genuinely
If i had crossbows in poe1 the game would be perfect
no thanks we'd get crossbows and then seven slop items from there in the process
this game has taught us one golden rule
ggg can't add good things without adding bad things too
also their passive tree is omegalol dogshit
imagine tryna squeeze crossbows into poe1 tree lol
when looking at your unique weapon in pob, does anyone else not get any real time dps change when looking at heist enchants? the harvest enchants properly show the gains/losses if applied, but the heist enchants do not
and more explosion more fun
does it say 'not supported in pob' 😛
in this case i'm looking at replica dreamfeather with something like phys/speed heist enchant
(coz they're not)
it... doesn't say anything you're right
that's really odd that they aren't supported
it's just like... increase the explicit phys values by 8%, pob does way harder math than that
didn't hit anyways
😮
i hit speed/reduced attr at first but it didn't increase the 10% AS explicit
didn't bother to check the actual aps but i assume it didn't change if the explicit didn't change
1342
i see :O thanks

cutest not fattest
Dude has a pretty funky build too https://pobb.in/5mIHSlfhAcXZ
i thought OP said he was playing double strike?
cool build
a bit unethical config there (didnt set trauma so pob defaults to max reachable stacks)
dunno how it works
but still hits ok numbers on low traumas
the build
you get trauma each time you hit mob (multistrike repeats and extra strike targets dont count)
trauma gets you flat dmg but damages you
oh thats why he uses the weapon
so basically how much trauma you get is math of how long one stack lasts x how fast you get stacks x how many you can survive without killing yourself
x enough targets to hit ofc 😄
so theoretically he can reach 170 trauma stacks, but that assumess more than 10sec of hitting a target
but like already at 2sec ramp he gets almost 70mil dps
and if anything survives that he ramps more
Boots
so he needs to be hit to generate frenzy charges? 
trauma hits u
he hits himself
On hit
oh
Not when hit
not enemy
