#

feelsbad

wheat sinew
#

btw

full kraken
#

what is currently the scarab comp people use for maximum juice maximum ev "fuck your build" breach farming

wheat sinew
#

that same memory vault

#

had 2x t1s

pliant hamlet
#

jesus lol

wheat sinew
#

so was like does it scale... with the number of maps you complete?

#

cuz I did 8 breach maps in that astrolabe

pliant hamlet
#

i got better rewards consistently when id id more maps

#

but tiny sample size

#

so asking wrong person

wheat sinew
#

hmmge

full kraken
#

Im currently doing 2x instability, 1x resonant cascade, 1x wisps, 1x beyond of invasion

cobalt blade
#

i think the one time i had a 9 astrolabe it was a mist drop

#

but i dont personally think it scales

wheat sinew
#

ran out of breach labes so can't even do more tests xd

#

back to rogues!

heady cliff
pliant hamlet
#

almost perfect lol

wheat sinew
#

hell yea

cobalt blade
#

4 chaos Pogott

pliant hamlet
#

I spend my chaos

full kraken
pliant hamlet
#

those simplex/focused ain't rolling themselves

full kraken
#

I might consider saving up for a diamond+massive shrine belt instead of diamond+regen, to boost my max and more importantly boost my clear

pliant hamlet
#

😄

wheat sinew
#

we spent a fuck ton of chaos rollings simplex/focused this league

cobalt blade
wheat sinew
cobalt blade
#

is my understanding

pliant hamlet
#

I spent like 1400 in 1 sitting

#

or something silly

wheat sinew
cobalt blade
#

id prob send the shitty essences at it in an ssf enviroment kek

wheat sinew
#

oh we did xd

full kraken
wheat sinew
#

yeah

pliant hamlet
#

we spent all our essences too

wheat sinew
#

bloodline scales both the deli and beyond

#

and breach

pliant hamlet
#

Someone wants a +4

#

sooo

#

rip everything we own lol

wheat sinew
#

someone?

#

you mean 4 fucking people

cobalt blade
#

my understanding is its a separate mult to pack size so its kinda just nuts

pliant hamlet
#

LOL

full kraken
#

do you block or allow boss spawn btw for beyond

cobalt blade
#

block

pliant hamlet
#

allow

#

what is this for?

wheat sinew
#

I block, breach resonate cascade

pliant hamlet
#

oh yeah block for resonate cascade

cobalt blade
#

you block for breach farming you allow for volatile farming

#

basically

wheat sinew
#

basically this

#

would block mechanics as well but too many points

pliant hamlet
#

exact same tree as i used

cold sable
#

@tranquil sedge hello again

I have Shaping the Skies instead of ... dunno what

cold sable
#

i want to recombine this suffix onto a rare tier gloves do these also have to be rare ?

split maple
#

Wait do we rly have now more magebloods than accels, diamonds, Echo, resists together

wheat sinew
#

we have 3x diamond

pliant hamlet
#

damn we do?

wheat sinew
#

3x resists

cobalt blade
#

but make sure your doing non native stuff

wheat sinew
#

2x accel

split maple
#

Close enuff

pliant hamlet
#

oh we got a 2nd accel?

wheat sinew
#

tyson had the first and then he dropped one from my barya

pliant hamlet
#

hah nice

wheat sinew
pliant hamlet
#

did someone play jiquani?

#

I assume they're using the 2nd accel

full kraken
#

is Invasive Adversaries actually good?

split maple

Jiquani is waiting for 3rd accel kek

pliant hamlet
split maple

Can slap it back to gs if you want to do smh with it, kinda low motivation rn

In the end it's 1 point

wheat sinew

sleigh gave up on his

full kraken

wheat sinew
#

remember

pliant hamlet
#

I did 5

split maple
#

What

#

I didn't know

pliant hamlet
#

he does 1 - 4 iirc?

wheat sinew
#

sleigh was running it on histshot

normal hedge
#

5 deli orbs requires a good build

pliant hamlet
#

5 NEEDS good prolif or damage

wheat sinew
#

I use 1 deli for the pack size

split maple
#

You telling me we have available accel 🥺

wheat sinew
#

lemme see

pliant hamlet
#

I didn't see it

#

you might have to ask sleigh for it

wheat sinew
#

dw already ahead of ya

What skill would you recommend?

wheat sinew
#

so dupes: soul taker, ee, marohi (x4, I poofed 1)

cobalt blade
#

it does have to drop one of the quant wheel ponts tho which looks awful but it saves points that arent as impactful as magic mobs like this lol

Root beer

The Mug brand root beers are fine

Safrole is an organic compound with the formula CH2O2C6H3CH2CH=CH2. It is a colorless oily liquid, although impure samples can appear yellow. A member of the phenylpropanoid family of natural products, it is found in sassafras plants, among others. Small amounts are found in a wide variety of plants, where it functions as a natural antifeedan...

Are you a beer scientist

I'm a wanted man

Lmao

short prairie

Guys

I think I’m a redditor after all

crisp plinth

we all are

short prairie

A lot of updoots

More than the op

I mean if I was farming dust this would be a pretty good strategy

short prairie

nah just the game does

hard cliff

Except target farming something

Characters getting curb stomped

short prairie
silent leaf
#

Know how games use cute characters as the embodiment of evil

short prairie
#

Every time I hold alt in a juiced map my game just deadlock detected

silent leaf
#

Say Teemo from league of legends

Jeff from Marvel Rivals

#

Deadlock also has one and that's the one in the curb

#

Everyone hates the gremlin as enemy

#

Anywho deadlock reference

bleak quiver
#

what, rem sucks balls

full kraken
#

I dunno about this EV guys, like 600c in scarabs and the delirium orb

silent leaf
full kraken
#

and 16.5 map.... 700c investment?

silent leaf
#

Since his entire fucking kit is to make it so the other laner can't die, then again I'm kinda shit at the game

#

Maybe that's just me

#

But a gif that represents rem hate is there

bleak quiver
#

yeah, he's the second worst character in the game currently

silent leaf
#

I'm shit at the game and all I can do is play Bepop and hook

bleak quiver
#

i like him tho, he's a fun take on io/yuumi kind of character

full kraken
#

we just barely scraped by net positive seems

#

heavily carried by the fact I hit a harvest scarab shrine at start of map

bleak quiver
#

damn, cornucopers really paying premium to lose money

short prairie

That’s exactly why they are called cornucopiums

verbal gust

alva temples are fun

livid quarry

overleech is overrated in juiced maps

short prairie

From foulborn

split maple
#

lets you use life mastery

short prairie

That’s the only benefit? Lmao

rancid sluice
#

34 barya, 17 belts, not a damn thing lol. then sold a piece of gear and made it all back and then some. the cycle continues

full kraken
#

thats a pretty big one ngl

cold sable
#

I had bought these, if i wanted to re craft them, is there a way to guarentee the movespeed + onslaight unveil?

short prairie
#

Who even uses that chest

#

Aside from reliquarian

split maple
#

but cannot rly pick which

cold sable
#

what are the 3

split maple
#

ms + onslaught, ms + cannot be chilled, ms + ms if not hit recently

cold sable
#

okie

#

i think i will try to craft a pair

short prairie
#

I’ll take ms onslaught any time of the day

split maple
#

settler UHM

cold sable
#

i like onslaught

short prairie
#

You are not wrong

split maple
#

oh lookie a nose

forest flower
wheat sinew
#

1 ring maybe

split maple
#

foulborn has no lfie tag

wheat sinew

^

#

It's giga

split maple
#

okay 200 depth deep delve is starting to feel ok

forest flower
#

it looks like it's a lot of masteries and notables smashed into a chest lol

cold sable
#

is there a way to divine a corrupted unique item

split maple
#

No

cold sable
#

gg

verbal gust
livid quarry
#

does block on iron fortress suck

#

cuz i think it stunning me

short prairie
#

What kind of question is this

onyx adder
#

I dont understand what ur asking

#

Are u asking whether u can get stunned while blocking?

#

Answer is yes

livid quarry
#

evne if i have cant be stunned?

short prairie
#

Stun is not based on what kind of block you are getting

onyx adder
livid quarry
#

might be lag then

onyx adder
#

The hit needs to be capable of stunning u

short prairie
#

Stun threshold

#

The bigger your life pool the bigger the hit need to be to stun you

#

Es comes with 50% stun avoidance

onyx adder
#

If the hit would have stunned u but u block it, u get a special shorter blockstun animation

short prairie
#

Not additive to different stun avoidcance like tattoos

onyx adder
#

That animation can be reduced by block recovery stat

short prairie
#

He said he has stun immunity

#

So it’s just lag

#

Skill issue

onyx adder
#

Im aware lmao

short prairie
#

Ig

livid quarry
#

u aint farming deli beyond 16.5 with ur 13 link kek

short prairie
#

Depends on if I want to or not

#

I already have a character that does the job so my flicker doesn’t need to

#

That’s why you have diff characters

livid quarry
#

is ur bv mp the best at everything

short prairie
#

My bv chief tanks 100% deli 16.5s

#

Yes

livid quarry
#

kek no point in farming in trade if not abusing the most op build

short prairie
#

If I want to tank Ubers I just swap to foulborn lightning coil

#

For phys and chaos

#

When I’m mapping I just go foulborn skin

#

80m DPS

bleak quiver
#

hm... maybe astrolabes (and maybe mirage maps) are not true boss drops and are affected by quantity....

short prairie
#

Gotta play it before it’s gutted

livid quarry

#

was 270ms 2 hours ago

#

when i as still drunk from a glass of beer

this proves alchohol is dangerous

tranquil sedge
#

terrors?

bleak quiver
# tranquil sedge wat strat are you doing

screenshot 1 is haunted mansion with Awakening, Terrors, 2x Shrine, pandemonium (testing it)
screenshot 2 is city square with Awakening, Pandemonium, Interference, Corruption, Delusions

#

used the maps from 2 to farm 1

tranquil sedge
#

i c

#

are maps still selling this late in the league 😮

bleak quiver
#

nope

tranquil sedge
#

even the empowered ones?

clear summit
#

I want goth mommy to step on me 🙁

bleak quiver
#

you can sell good 8mods, mirage maps, and high rolled 8mod originators for very high

tranquil sedge
bleak quiver
#

like 20-25c for good normal 8mods with deli, mirage maps always sell but sell better not corrupted, high roled 8mod originators go for 2d+, and are fairly common, got like 8 or 9 on that screenshot

tranquil sedge
#

nice

#

how's your div/hr lookin

bleak quiver
#

but its a pain in the ass to price, not worth it at alll

gritty epoch
bleak quiver
#

idk the div/h cuz i have no idea for how much these maps sold for

#

they are all over the place cuz i spennt HOURS re-pricing

#

took 1h 46m 47s for the city square one tho

tranquil sedge
#

icic

#

i really hope mirage goes core

#

this is some of the most fun mapping i've ever had

#

and the improvements to every other league mechanic are awesome

#

the 5 new harvest reforges make it actually feel complete

#

merc mods on gear is great + changes to currency ground loot making frac orbs accessible to more ppl

#

improved scarab farm after they deleted abyss (because lol fuck us)

#

also the thing im really hoping for?

gritty epoch
#

Mirage goes core only if they remove the loading screens

tranquil sedge
#

menagerie UI improvements in 3.29 tbh

#

like, looking at the poe2 UI for their new rune league mechanic

#

that looks a lot like bestiary interface, doesn't it?

crisp plinth
#

mirage itself without the dupes is kinda boring

#

i'd rather have the actual mechanics stronger

bleak quiver
#

i think they will keep everything from mirage besides mirages itself

tranquil sedge
#

i want the miraged maps to stay but like

#

scourge didnt go core either

bleak quiver
#

maybe it comes back like sentinels

tranquil sedge
#

so not too hopeful

#

but man it would be great

full kraken
full kraken
#

Im gonna guess mirage is gonna be same as wildwood

tranquil sedge
#

not just pure rng spawn :/

ebon hatch
#

or or… reintroducing Harbinger, new faster, stronger, 20% cooler, with new boss mechanics and a special harbinger zone to fight even more powerful and rewarding boss

bleak quiver
#

they def put too much effort into it to scrap it all, just dont think it will be a dedicated thing

ebon hatch
#

i know im talking about harbi all the time

gritty epoch
#

Go map
Loading screen
enter mirage
Loading screen
dies
Loading screen
go map
Loading screen
enter mirage
Loading screen
farms, exit mirage
Loading screen
exit map
Loading screen

full kraken
full kraken
#

beat me to it lol

tranquil sedge
#

that does makes sense

#

maybe just keep miraged maps honestly

#

like it's still gonna be great for fun and the economy too

split maple
full kraken
gritty epoch
tranquil sedge
#

also

#

i dont like loading screens either

#

but man

ebon hatch
#

honestly i don’t want ggg to tinker with mirage no more, id rather them to invent new stuff, im sure they are capable of surprising us once again

tranquil sedge
#

i'd put up with them to play mirage mechanic

#

too fun

tranquil sedge
#

new stuff fun

#

on the other
there's so many improvements to this game that i don't wanna see them go

onyx adder
#

Im fine with mirage loading screen

gritty epoch
#

I ended up using FR in mirage to go back to hideout faster

onyx adder
#

Because the alternative is hideout loading screen

crisp plinth
#

im fine with it gone it was pretty boring besides the coins

gritty epoch
#

At least let us use portal in mirage

tranquil sedge
#

even if we don't keep mirage

ebon hatch
#

i missed beachhead so much

tranquil sedge
#

but barya boss should still drop empowered mirage maps ._.

#

...but then question is how do u get barya access

crisp plinth
#

random drops

tranquil sedge
#

like the wildwood thing?

onyx adder
tranquil sedge
eternal hill
#

oh yeah, wildwood is a thing

#

the only mechanic that isnt on atlas tree

tranquil sedge
#

like without this many baryas entering the game

split maple
tranquil sedge
#

those good belts are gonna be up there in terms 'chase' with like osin

eternal hill
#

wait sentinel is in core?

tranquil sedge
#

but not like something you can invest into

eternal hill
#

I havent seen em

tranquil sedge
#

same as wildwood

split maple
#

you know the lil dudes at begining of map

tranquil sedge
#

they're there

eternal hill
#

I mapped to what? 96 this league

crisp plinth
#

yeah thats what is so shit about the whole tree

split maple
#

you click you get 2 stacked decks from mobs

crisp plinth
#

anything you cant buff is useless

tranquil sedge
#

would be fine adding them to tree

#

i think

#

coz you still have to judiciously use points

#

more stuff means more judicious use

crisp plinth
#

or you know just buff the base stuff

#

and make the tree actually options

#

instead of mandatory picks

tranquil sedge
#

that would be good too

analog dagger
#

the entire game is mandatory picks unless your ssf

tranquil sedge
#

its definitely not a nice feeling to see a wildwood spawn

#

and then proceed to ignore it coz u know its not worth it

#

same with sentinel or whatever else

split maple
#

but if you doign anything juiced

crisp plinth
#

you are now trained to just ignore any mechanics you dont invest into

full kraken
#

wildwood is worth doing if your strat cares about map quant/rarity isnt it

split maple
#

wildwood is giga

crisp plinth
#

cos even blocking isnt worth it

tranquil sedge
#

is it

#

i thought it was nerfed

full kraken
#

I thought wildwood is like... big boost

split maple
#

like lets not forget it was meta for rogues to abandon map if wildwood didnt proc

ebon hatch
split maple
#

and that folks did same also for evo alvas

tranquil sedge
#

i remember

#

but wasnt there smth boosting that

#

the spawn rate

full kraken
#

I think a lot of the atlas tree really could be made core behavior

tranquil sedge
#

i forget

#

wat

split maple
#

wildwood is same as ever srev isnt it

tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

I think atlas passives should strictly be of the form "upside + downside"

tranquil sedge
#

'we have a tree but every node is attainable but some nodes have choices' is so dumb

full kraken
#

with the downside usually being "its rippier"

split maple
#

and like with breach and stuff its rly visible

tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

where its opt in difficulty

tranquil sedge
#

okai

crisp plinth
split maple
#

but yea sentinels on the other hand pure ass kek

full kraken
#

if your build can handle it, you take more points

every point taken ramps up the challenge and a gigchad build just takes all the points

crisp plinth
#

but i'd not be sad if we got less nodes but way more interesting ones

tranquil sedge
#

im rushing maps with harvest atm but i dont see many wildwoods anyway

#

but ill run the next one i see

tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

akin to like, what running a 100% delirious map is

tranquil sedge
#

execpt they went backwards

#

like they've lowered the ceiling repeatedly

#

over the past few leagues

full kraken
#

100% tree is like "holy shit hold on to your balls cuz this tree is gonna kick you in them 100 times per second"

bleak quiver
#

thank god chatters are not in the dev team templarLul

full kraken
#

and not some weak ass shit where a 100% invested tree can be run by some mid build

full kraken
#

full invested tree should be insane and reserved for the top 1% of builds

#

like multi mirror tier gear can handle it

tranquil sedge
#

it doesn't matter what the content is

ebon hatch
#

do you think it’s time for ggg to rework scarabs again? we have like 10% of the scarabs actually useful, the rest is 3 to 1 vendor recipe food

tranquil sedge
#

the moment anyone says 'make harder content'

full kraken
#

for example, stuff like "rare monsters have an additional mod" is just perfect design

tranquil sedge
#

ppl will say 'but only 1% can run it and get loot ree'

full kraken
#

its all self contained in that its reward and punishment all bundled at once

crisp plinth
#

yes remove 80% of scarabs

#

buff base mechanics

tranquil sedge
#

let them fix things that need fixing first like buffing league mechanics and adding difficulty options to raise the ceiling back to where it was

full kraken
tranquil sedge
#

then if they still have time go look at some of the more useless scarabs ye

split maple
#

buff nemeses scarb again 😄

tranquil sedge
#

im just saying

#

this is the stupid argument ppl make every time

full kraken
#

I hate astrolabes and scarabas

ebon hatch
livid quarry
#

poe still lives

ebon hatch
#

need harder content

gritty epoch
#

Making it Top 30% can run it but top 1% runs it faster is a better solution?

tranquil sedge
#

there are definitely some useless scarabs

granite bloom
full kraken
tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

if you boost your loot 10% but it takes you twice as long, thats not good for you

tranquil sedge
#

they're just riskier content with no extra difficulty

#

that's not the same thing

full kraken
#

so obviously thats too much difficulty for your build

#

whereas another build can take that extra 10% loot and barely impact its clear time

tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

cuz it still one taps shit cuz it has 2 mirrors in gear instead of 40div in gear

gritty epoch
#

Imo t17 also have the issue of harder = build bricking mods and harder = fuck you level of tediousness

tranquil sedge
#

this aint new to t17

#

ppl keep glazing the mods and some of them were rough but man its not new

full kraken
#

I also hate build bricking mods tbh

#

it just makes a build a game of checking off all the boxes

tranquil sedge
#

like this is literally all every build ever does anyway

full kraken
#

"did you remember to click your florble immunity? did you remember to get 100% reduced duration of dunga wunga?"

tranquil sedge
#

bro that's what you already do

#

with every build anyway

gritty epoch
#

True may I rephrase it to 'more build breaking mods'

full kraken
ebon hatch
#

is there a build that can run any mod?

full kraken
#

Corrupted blood is a good example

tranquil sedge
short prairie
gritty epoch
tranquil sedge
#

its not very hard to adapt the stronger builds to run more mods

bleak quiver
#

wtf... is shaper donors blessed or something?

full kraken
#

We have bleed immunity, which isnt the same thing as corrupted blood immunity, which also isnt the same as "physical dots" like 1% of enemies can do

split maple
#

to run any mod well well its different

tranquil sedge
#

^ running and running well are diff ye

add to that any mod combo and altars and its hh terriroty

tranquil sedge
#

but like

#

most builds will get down to 1 or 2 mods they can't run

#

if you invest enough

#

that's at the point where u can just regex if u want

#

out of 100 maps maybe u dont run like 10 that's nbd at all

split maple
#

usual last few leagues was to be mod immune to risk added mods and have regex for base map

tranquil sedge
#

and those mods are often gonna be either reflect or reduced recovery rate i think

split maple
#

so not havign to care about non-scaled mods

full kraken
split maple
#

but like risk isnt even that meta anymore

#

so just regex

Imagine t17 being unmodifiable and always full mod /s

yea it got fubgooned

tranquil sedge

its also just rarer now isn't it

yea but thats already last leg

wheat sinew

limited and rarer

split maple

they nerfed it in keepers rite

open the poedb link

split maple
tranquil sedge
#

go to the league concurrent player count page

#

its not great, but its a fun league

full kraken
#

its the same problem as why ggg ended up deleting all sources of effects that ignored your PDR

crisp plinth
#

found it pretty boring but i am not the biggest juicer

onyx adder
#

Abom is way easier

crisp plinth
#

outside of doubling your investment it was boring

onyx adder
#

Fortress can eat a dick

wheat sinew
#

you see

ebon hatch
#

there are some mods still on t17 that in combination can still brick the build, off the top of my head can think of +extra damage as, -to max res and more monster damage… there’s a fine line between surviving the map and dying instantly to a white mob

wheat sinew
#

I kind of needdd the boss

#

for uues xd

tranquil sedge
ebon hatch
#

im not

tranquil sedge
#

it doesnt matter what the map mods are

ebon hatch
#

im just saying

tranquil sedge
#

'you' as in general you

full kraken
tranquil sedge
#

this is all available in t16 too

nimble bay
split maple
full kraken
#

cuz anything that boosts your max hit effectively applies to those mods sweepingly

tranquil sedge
ebon hatch
#

i mean myself my build is tanky af, but others maybe not so much

bleak quiver
full kraken
#

its shit that deletes a core defense of your build that I hate

tranquil sedge
#

i think that's okay tbh

#

like yea i didnt enjoy running reduced block mods on my triple lucky block glad

#

but i just skipped those its ok i can't run a mod or two

full kraken
#

why not just... not have build disabling mods at all

tranquil sedge
#

"not every build needs to run every mod" is a statement i 100% agree with

split maple
#

issue is almost all mods are build disabling in the end

tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

My #1 question I always apply to this is very very simple

Does this make the game more fun?

onyx adder
split maple
#

like remember how folks were talking about which mods are or not for phrecia last time

#

charge steal is build disabler even

full kraken
#

like does having random "fuck your build" mods you can roll on maps actually increase fun levels yes or no

gritty epoch
#

I agree with srev, old risk scarabs and t17 scaling notwithstanding

nimble bay
#

Am I alone in saying that I loved the Metamorph league?

ebon hatch
full kraken
#

if your game mechanic doesnt make fun go up, it doesnt need to exist

split maple
#

game already doesnt have enough chaos sinks and you want to make maps easier to roll kek

full kraken
#

treating the symptom instead of the cause is bad

tranquil sedge
#

i think it adds variety

ebon hatch
tranquil sedge
full kraken
#

once again, what does this do to add fun to the game for players

nimble bay
crisp plinth
#

the idea of metamorph was fun the implementation was boring

#

so i dont miss it

gritty epoch
full kraken
#

does anyone consider having to use a 3rd party regex to make a shitlist of mods that brick your build, chaos spamming maps and crafting them, to be fun

tranquil sedge
#

what u find fun

#

i might not

#

and so on for everyone

heady cliff
#

i just got an idea how to solve reflect

full kraken
#

right so... do you find it fun though?

tranquil sedge
#

having mods that brick me and need me to adapt or play new builds?

#

yeah, i do

ebon hatch
gritty epoch
#

We aren't even on semantics territory yet smh

tranquil sedge
ebon hatch
#

game is too easy atm

tranquil sedge
heady cliff
#

make it a %based damage from your hp/es pool

tranquil sedge
#

we used to hit like 87% map effect

full kraken
tranquil sedge
#

now its like 56%?

crisp plinth
#

maybe we dont need a higher ceiling but people need to experiment more or accept they won the game :p

tranquil sedge
onyx adder
#

10/10

tranquil sedge
crisp plinth
#

the biggest casual

full kraken
heady cliff
crisp plinth

#

so if you kill a monster with 15% reflect, you are dealt 15% of your current life/es

onyx adder
#

I didnt say i was against it XD

tranquil sedge
#

im gonna go back to running harvest i need money have a nice day fellas

heady cliff
#

you would never die from it, but you would be quite low life if you decide to run reflect maps

full kraken
#

anything thats like "whats that, you are playing a game that the entire goal is unga bunga whacking and killing enemies for loot, what if we.... added randomly... an effect that punishes you... for hitting enemies?!?!?!"

deranged idea imo

#

Corrupted blood in its current implementation is also super stupid

#

"ah cool I attacked an enemy in the game where I am supposed to attack enemies and now I die for doing the thing the game wants me to do"

gritty epoch
#

U should be glad they didn't put immune mobs directly into the game like d2

ebon hatch
wheat sinew
#

ahum

#

they did for 2 leagues

#

archnemesis

heady cliff
#

and that damage would be mitigated by armor/resistances

full kraken
#

I think D3 really nailed "rare" enemy modifiers really well, where most of the mods are more tactical

gritty epoch
#

*Directly

full kraken
#

like some of the stuff rare mobs roll in PoE are excellent and I like em

wheat sinew
nimble bay
#

The only thing I've strongly disliked while playing POE was the implementation of the sectioned atlas with conqueror bosses.

wheat sinew
#

that's when archnemesis mods were in

heady cliff
#

so juggernaut could mostly ignore phys reflect by design, 90% resistance builds would likely mostly ignore ele reflect

nimble bay
#

I thought sectioned voidstones were dumb

full kraken
#

I want engaging with a rare monster to make me have to pay attention and dance around, not stand in the lava, positionals

heady cliff
#

rebalance raw numbers as needed

split maple
#

everything except abyssal ofc -.-

ebon hatch
full kraken
#

where if I have 100% perfect micro on my positionals I can take zero damage from the enemies abilities by just getting good and dodging well

tranquil sedge
#

i.e. nightmare map drop rate and the other buffs listed on them

eternal hill
full kraken
#

but shit like "haha you hit this enemy that wasnt even on your screen with a projectile, now you are taking 4000 physical damage per second, fuck you" is so antithetical to the entire premise of an action rpg

1 monitor sounds clean

even if the 1 is equal to the 2

Tbh I hate how u suddenly just get 10 stacks of cb and die

crisp plinth
#

1 big ass monitor is pretty nice

full kraken
#

I play on a 17" laptop lol

crisp plinth
#

pip to split it into 2 is too good

tranquil sedge
#

also more importantly its just cheaper to have 2 smaller ones

#

that's rly the main logic for me

tranquil sedge
full kraken
crisp plinth
#

2 decent ones might be more expensive that one good one

i had to do it for a month or so after we shifted into the new place here, i was on very similar setup to yours, just monitor instead of laptop at the same spot

back didn't like it tbh

full kraken

Ive found its substantially improved my sleeping and muscle fatigue

nimble bay
strange wing
#

is the last line for this item important to have +10?

ebon hatch
#

switching to 27 inch monitor allowed me to actually see the beauty of the poe

tranquil sedge

and like +7 or +8 should be cheap anyway

can divine it yourself if its not perfect anyways templarthumbsup

tranquil sedge

i also can't bump up from 1080p atm coz my pc isn't rly 1440p ready imo

so doubly good reason to keep the existing monitors

theres often a ferret sleepin on that pile, though shes up in her hammock right now snoring

the thing is huge af

crisp plinth

wdym no space

ebon hatch

on the desk

full kraken
tranquil sedge
crisp plinth
#

lotsa space

rancid sluice
#

buy a bigger desk ez

full kraken
#

a wall mount arm definitely would let ya fit 2 wide monitors there

heady cliff
#

barely not enough space judging by pic

ebon hatch
#

i want my main to be on thr center

#

and other one on the side

heady cliff
#

you can move your main to the left

full kraken
#

are you not able to drill holes in the wall perchance?

crisp plinth
#

move the main to the left a bit then you have space for an angled right side one

full kraken
#

you can get VESA mount arms for monitors that clip to desks

crisp plinth
#

or get a monitor arm you can mount on your table assuming its not made out of cardboard

full kraken
#

and then yeah, main monitor center and then a second mounted one to the left prolly

ebon hatch
#

yeah to the left is better

#

on the right i wanna see my pc

full kraken
#

these are about 40 bucks usually

tranquil sedge
split maple
#

thats a nice book mount

tranquil sedge
#

ty

ebon hatch
#

that’s a nice desk

#

looks robust

tranquil sedge
#

but it doesn't like being moved very much

#

the screws they used to hold the legs to the frame aren't ideal

#

and finish is questionable

but for $100 its a great deal

full kraken
#

looks like no cross frame bracing so yeah, legs are gonna complain if you slide it left/right I bet

heady cliff
#

no horizontal frame?

tranquil sedge
#

legs are just two big metal squares screwd in at the top

heady cliff
#

i mean if you try to < or > it, it would not like it at all?

full kraken
#

Im gonna guess it was intended to be mounted to the wall to sort that out

steady elk
tranquil sedge
#

lmfao

steady elk
#

whew

#

i was wondering how tf you'd be gaming on that

tranquil sedge
#

but i like it a lot

full kraken
#

hahaha

tranquil sedge
#

main requirement was it needs to hold enough weight

#

this doesn't even notice how much ive put on it so far, so im good there

full kraken
#

the biggest reason I swapped to my current setup is simply cuz my wife likes to watch TV shows on our big tv in the living room, and I wanted to hang out with her while gaming

#

so I sit on the floor and she chills on the couch and puts a show on, and I get some nice background noise to listen to

split maple
full kraken
#

My view lol

tranquil sedge
#

i will hold off on the instinctive r/tvtoohigh response
...only because ur on the floor and i can't actually tell how high that is

#

-# but its angled downward chrisThinking

full kraken
#

we have the feet removed off our couch is main reason why

#

also ferrets

#

basically everything in our home has to be up off the floor cuz ferrets steal anything that isnt nailed down and stash it, and will climb and get into anything

#

so we have to ferret proof every square foot, thats why I dropped a bunch of money on those railings you can see in the background, 100% ferret proofed

that's the old one

crisp plinth

not a PIP option sadly

dense rock
crisp plinth
#

its only 2 monitor mode with 33:66 or 50:50

wheat sinew
#

new place can't really move in due to... some laws and document things I need to do (well basically wait for them to be ready)

crisp plinth
#

yeah then id have to use windowed mode

#

i like the pip thing as i can do fullscreen

tranquil sedge
#

why do you require PIP

tranquil sedge
crisp plinth
#

some games dont have windowed fullscreen

#

so i do this if they dont

tranquil sedge
#

or using something like fancyzones to tile

#

o ok

crisp plinth
#

most of the time i am forced to do 33:66% anyway

#

as games dont support fullscreen

#

looking at you poe and tq2

dense rock
#

why would you even want to run poe in fullscreen when 75%+ of the game is in pob and music player windows 😄

#

15 active trade searches on 1 window etc

crisp plinth
#

if i am in discord talking with someone fullscreen would be dope

#

but thats just league start

ebon hatch
#

do you have any issues with alt tabbing out of full screen?

#

cuz i don’t

#

it works just fine

dense rock
#

why alt tab when you can just move mouse from poe window to the trade window?

ebon hatch
#

well that’s a good point actually

#

but

#

but…

dense rock
#

5120x1440 masterrace kek

crisp plinth

oh and somehow using no pip makes the colors look worse

#

should figure that out eventually

ebon hatch
#

when i was running dual monitors i would often click on the side screen by accident

crisp plinth
#

probably some internal thing from samsung

dense rock
ebon hatch
#

some games don’t

#

not sure about poe

#

but i was fricking out when that happens

#

in bl2 i guess, can’t recall where i had that problem

#

but it was pissing me off

dense rock
#

i love it when i somehow manage to maximize my poe window in the middle of map/boss

ebon hatch

also the frames of the windowed mode, i can’t stomach it

breaks the immersion

I wanted to close my league with a totem build, preferably on a pathfinder (or ranger I guess)

Do you have suggestions within 200 to 300d?

Totems ballistas anything work

dense rock

dark pact totems

#

either witch or pantless priest

undone sparrow

Any yt guides on it?

#

Oh no pathfinders huh

full kraken
dense rock
#

meh, just go for 100% curse effect reduce and the chest that curses you with random curse on totem death

limpid prairie

scourge arrow tinctures!

dense rock

then run around throwing dark pact totems at peoples faces

undone sparrow
#

I did SA last league but tinctures hmm

full kraken
dense rock
#

why?!

undone sparrow
#

So I need a witch dark pack totems eh?

#

Right I'll google them

dense rock
#

the idea is:
you are immune to curses
you use chest that curses you on totem death / gives more dmg per curse on you
You throw around totems that shortly kill themselfs
Enjoy

undone sparrow
#

I see

#

So basically I'm throwing time bombs

#

Lol

#

Could be fun

#

Been doing harvest rn... Prolly can use the build there

dense rock
#

ye. Dark pact normally causes you or nearby minion to lose hp on each cast. When used with totems it kills the totem after few castst

#

big aoe and works suprisingly well with crit (atleast did when i played it)

undone sparrow
#

Do you have suggestions for something on pathfinder?

#

Could be easier for me to set up. Im absolutely abhored at the thought of doing acts again T.T

cyclone with 100% poison chance and as much life gain on hit as you can gain (claws). Doesnt even have to do dmg as the herald of agony will absolutely wreck everything with poison on it

meanwhile you yourself are just meatspinning around gaining 1500-2000health per hit per enemy around you

would minion pact work with blade vortex totems? 😄

use unholy abberation

not suprising considering right now is pretty much the only chance to abuse minion pact
