Last league I thought it started at 4est that’s why I figured it would be awhile

harsh bone
#

They did start it earlier this time around

ocean sorrel
#

Perfect Now I just gotta decide on EA ballista or wave of conviction start lmao

harsh bone
#

It's always the the league starter. Hard to choose ;p

i quit last league after 2 days, dont know if i wanna give sanctum a try. too little balance changes imo

livid apex
#

should give it a whirl

archnem bonk was a big balance change

#

they removed abso from the shop in act 1 for witch

#

or am i tripping

hollow sigil
#

Did they buff EXP? I'm overleveled for some reason

pulsar creek
#

no, a lot more creatures on act areas

magic sequoia
#

with the changes to Voltaxic Rift do you all think it's worth running?

wind sundial
#

So how are people feeling about Sanctums so far

#

I tried a tank build and it got shredded in a sanctum sadly

#

Just barely made it through the first room

rain fiber
#

im loving it..showcases the need to dodge rather than spam

wind sundial
#

I did like that everything seems to have windup anims

#

First room boss kept spamming an ability that hits everything close to him though

rain fiber
#

very hades like...hopefully a little more interaction...a dodge roll button would be killer now

#

i dont know but so far i leveled very quick...nice rare drops, nice links, maybe just lucky so far

hollow sigil
#

This is my first time using Poisonous Concoction, wtf is this skill

warped ingot
#

FB OR COC?

gentle storm
#

Guys, how does this sanctum thing really work? i mean can i gain resolve in some way?

narrow timber
#

what exactly is a floor? i moved a bunch of fusings to a floor but then failed at the last boss in room 8, was the room 8 boss the floor boss or sanctum boss?

tawny pasture
cunning cliff
#

focus is horseshit

oak bluff
#

Can't slot a sanctum relic after dropping it from inventory to locker and then trying to interact with relic altar. Cool.

strong estuary
#

so my build wants me to use leapslap but my dmg skill is spark so how do i go about getting dmg on spark if im using swords/staffs

frigid shore
#

Anyone discovered the new way to get primordial jewels?

hollow sigil
#

Where are all of the quality currency explosions

candid anchor
#

1003 - Players have reported a bug where saved Sanctum rooms are being lost upon run failure. We will fix this.

#

also after playing sanctum for a bit yup seems the way to go is 100% glass cannon zoom zoom temporal chains

#

possible its a ton different in red maps though i guess

#

i expect to see a lot of people complaining about mapping after buiilding no defense due to sanctum lol

rocky bridge
#

it seems evasion DOES work so it armour not mitigating makes armour builds terrible lol
i was planning on doing a tanky replica dreamfeather build but it looks like this league more than probably any other encourages glass cannons

narrow timber
#

he kind of 1 shot me from 75 resolve

#

didnt know that attack

#

is he considered the floor boss?

#

i dont really understand the floors mechanic

candid anchor
#

tbh its a bit weird you can move between rooms vertically

#

i know you lose resolve if you get hit but that kinda makes any adjacent fountain room a freebie

#

most roguelikes dont let you do that or scale difficulty each time you try that

balmy moss
#

what skill to bonk

spare moat
oak bluff
#

Nah, it was when you first meet the NPC. If you go into the run proper on next event portal you can use it.

whole ether
#

Is league started on console?

sterile shadow
#

does anyone know if u need capped spell suppression (100%) for end game bosses or does that only matter in hardcore cuz u dont wanna get 1 shot and like 60% is okay in standard?

candid anchor
#

i used to always go skill points in act 2 but alira is more useful with the current mana levels of most skills

candid anchor
#

that+ lv1 clarity and 3 heralds > shift to grace/determ/purity (2 of 3) > tiniest bit of mana regen to get clarity lv1-5 bacK

rocky bridge
#

unless sometimes im clealy in range of enemy attacks and they randomly dont deal damage or cost resolve

candid anchor
#

especially nice with any regen on damage you can get ofc

wind sundial
#

And they said it wouldn't matter if you were evasion or not, wow

#

I'm gonna get some tea

rocky bridge
#

might be glitches lol

candid anchor
#

yeah i wouldnt buy evasion items just yet

wind sundial
#

Hope they fix that by either making evasion not matter, no offense, but it is a little unfair :P

candid anchor
#

if they dont im going all in on it

rocky bridge
#

tbh its stupid that mitigation doesnt work anyways

candid anchor
#

for sure, clearly rushed

wind sundial
#

It really is, they tried to make it out to be equal among the classes but mobility and dps are king

candid anchor
#

glass cannon league is the way to go atm

wind sundial
#

mitigation is doa in Sanctum

rocky bridge
#

especially bc of inspiration

candid anchor
#

especially because of temporal chains/curse changes

wind sundial
#

Which is a shame because I adore turtle playstyles

rocky bridge
#

basically works as an ES barrier so if you can make sure you get hit only a few times with time spaced out you're fine

#

but lots of small hitsS? fuck you hahahaha

candid anchor
#

geez im in town and there's the recent free wings on everyone

#

then there's me looking goofy with the big wobbly bobblehead blight reward

#

was going to use darkshard but i was like hrm that helm(its a face replacement really) would go really well with the t1 free armor so ill wait til i get that

gritty heath
wind sundial
#

Enemies have windup

gritty heath
#

So it's heist league? 😄

candid anchor
#

kind of

wind sundial
#

Heist League was doable with mitigation too

candid anchor
#

resolve is pretty like early heist alert levels

wind sundial
#

I had a nice turt during heist

#

Yeah, it clearly favors certain class types

#

It's like trying to play minions in the first iteration of Heist

#

They'd set off every guard and your alert would rocket

candid anchor
#

looks way easier to spec into certain league mechanics in atlas now too

#

but some of them like blight are boosted the same way, going temporal chains and max dps/speed

wind sundial
#

That's what it's like to be a slowbie in Sanctum

candid anchor
#

minions are kinda trash atm outside of niche stuff

gritty heath
#

Why do they keep making mechanics that require god-level amount of reflex and speed

candid anchor
#

cant build up defenses on them without messing up your own stuff

#

i blame balancing around the instant logout they allow for no good reason

gritty heath
#

It's early league though, I assume all builds are a lot faster in red maps

grand hemlock
#

Can't get to the mines in highgate 🙃 keeps crashing non stop never had this issue before

wind sundial
#

I wonder if they'll change it like they did in Heist

#

Probably not

#

I might wind up respeccing

candid anchor
#

im sick of mid league fixes

wind sundial
#

Just have to decide what to play

candid anchor
#

they only fix stuff after most people have already left the league

#

and thats terrible for game health

wind sundial
#

I could go flicker strike for the memes

dense ruin
#

It was expected from everyone that glass cannons would be the best as soon as they introduced the resolve mechanic

candid anchor
#

because they expected GGG to not think it through

dense ruin
#

And we knew they would fuck it up day 1

candid anchor
#

yeah the fact this kind of stuff is normalized is so dumb

dense ruin
#

With like 5% thinking that it would be well balanced

candid anchor
#

hopefully D4 puts a spur in their boots

austere whale
#

How the hell do you equip a relic?

austere whale
candid anchor
#

yeah no it pretty heavily favors some builds

austere whale
#

Ofc it does

#

Which league doesnt

candid anchor
#

ooh +2 to socketed gems helmet dropped that one is great in SSF

#

just need to grab an empower off ritual to really get it working

#

atm im using it on heralds due to the whole glass cannon thing

rocky raptor
#

Yo, is elemental hit viable in this league?

lone glade
#

How do I equip the first relic we got at the ruins?

orchid pagoda
#

are rewards broken? "reward at the end of a floor" doesnt drop anything at the end of a floor?

orchid pagoda
#

yup

#

cleare whole floor because i though it was a bug

fallow compass
#

anyone got new relics?

anyone can trade me a ballista support gem? i can give you a +1 all chaos gems wand for it

both my friends have the same issue

We can invite people on our friendslists

dense ruin
dapper stump
#

so... this league mechanic is not really meant for tanky builds that want to... tank

#

I thought you could just tank most things and have to avoid certain "traps" and whatnot, but apparently anything that causes damage substracts

undone blade
#

They did say monsters did nominal damage but mainly resolve damage in the livestream

sour orchid
#

i rerolled my volcanic fissure into caustic arrow ballista, now everything much more smooth

#

i like the league mechanic, except for that resolve thing, it is dumb

dapper stump
#

Im leveling a Jug RF

#

I just hope Im not choosing a playstyle that is literally incompatible with the league mechanic

#

I am getting an error generator out of sync

anyone else?

fallow mica

#

What does a benevolent fountain do?

#

as in how does it differenciate from a normal fountain?

severe shadow
#

I think it gives a boon, think relic from other rogue likes

harsh bone
#

The fact that it costs coins is questionable

#

You don't know the costs before going in

#

It should be my rewards for completing the room

#

not something I should buy

kindred void
#

those using volcanic fissure, what links have you got atm? what seems to work the best so far??

cursive steeple
#

Do all relics only affect you inside the sanctum?

harsh bone
#

I mean what will you do with increased resolve outside the sanctum?

rigid stream
#

And 5 for a regular fountain

harsh bone
#

Yeah I feel like that's stupid. Every other room has an affliction that you just gain, but the other side "boons" cost coins?

rigid stream
#

Because boons are good and you want them. If you Had to pay to get a Bane you would never get one

harsh bone
#

That would be okay if the afflictions were minor

#

Most of them are brutal lol

rigid stream
#

They are minor

harsh bone
#

And you don't get many boons on one floor

rigid stream
#

Most of them

tough wharf
#

im a bit confused. i picked the "receive currency after completion of room" i completed the room and yet didnt receive rewards?

harsh bone
#

Yeah sure "minor" is getting 50% less coins

#

how is that minor lol

rigid stream
#

Rooms is the while area

#

50% less coins is whatever, you dont need that many

#

You get a Couple hundred in a Major treasure room

harsh bone
#

"chests drop no coins" is that really a minor affliction?

rigid stream
#

Pretty much? Compared to Major afflictions yes

harsh bone
#

Gaining power in the sanctum relies on having coins. Stopping you from getting any more coins sounds like a huge downside

tough wharf
#

any input on the room completion rewarsd?

harsh bone
#

It's always "now, floor, sanctum"

tough wharf
#

im not sure if you understand my question. i picked the middle option

mint bloom
tough wharf
#

completed it

#

and then got nothing

harsh bone
#

That's weird, you should get it

harsh bone
tough wharf
#

if i look at sanctum i see 2 rewards that says "get at end of floor"

#

what is the definition of a floor?

harsh bone
#

The floor that you're in

#

You defeat a boss, go into new floor with 8 new rooms

#

for a total of 32 rooms / 4 floors

tough wharf
#

ah ok i get it now thanks

harsh bone
#

I can see people complaining how the head that shoots fire laser is active too often

#

It punishes melee too much

livid apex
#

this would have been a very good league to start as storm brand

flint grotto
#

can't place relic in Altar?

livid apex

harsh bone
#

How do you even equip relics

#

Do you need to wait for it to somehow activate like scourge?

harsh bone
gritty heath
#

Damn people were not joking about glass cannon league. Killing things very fast is the best way to win in sanctum rooms

#

It's super easy to get into situations where some things are just not dogeable

#

But if you clear the room who cares

mint bloom
#

I think in theory there are relics that tanks are supposed to use

#

GGG just made the mistake of not making some low tier versions available at the start

harsh bone
#

Yeah I feel bad for playing RF lol

violet nymph
#

bro wtf

#

sanctum is bugged or some shit ?

#

end of floor rewards not given after killing floor boss

#

wtf

#

scammed out of 3 chaos already

spiral quiver
#

so i just died in sanctum which ended my run, i have 2 relics and want to start another run, but i can't click on the relic table for some reason even though i got a popup that said relic slots available in the last run

#

Have any of you fight Lycia yet? I have only that left with 100 resolve 475 inspiration and 50% damage taken with inspiration.

Do I need to meet Justinia at fellshrine ruins? She doesnt seem to be spawning

I'll try forcing a new instance then, ty

Does anyone know how to equip a relic? I have two in my locker but can't equip anything

I've had the "receive x currency on the end of floor" buff for like 3 floors, do I receive them once I fail or do I have to redeem them somewhere?

so flicker does suck in sanctum...sad

#

Most melee classes has it harder in sanctum, range has it way easier.

ripe kestrel

expected flicker to lose less resolve since its literally on top but still gets cuckrd

sour mountain
#

why can't i place my relic on my altar 😦
ive got the six squares in the relic altar but i just can't put the cup thing on it, that divinia gives you

mellow beacon
#

Where exactly do I put the relics?

raven scarab
#

For relics, you need to wait for new sanctum, you can only place them when new sanctum begins, and your stuck with those ones untill new sanctum

mellow beacon
#

Yeah I forgot I went to the second floor. :'3

solar grove
#

i still can't put mine in at the beginning of the sanctum

hollow sigil
#

What are the best atlas passives for unique farming in SSF? The new Metamorph ones?

solar grove
#

can't interact with the table 😦

final summit
#

These relics are trash anyway lol you’re not missing out on much

violet nymph
#

Bro when is GGG gonna fix sanctum rewards ????

final summit
#

What do you mean fix?

violet nymph
#

Dude it doesn't give the reward when you clear the floor

#

Unless clearing the floor = clearing the whole sanctum it's bugged

hollow sigil
#

Not even mentioning that you get like 6 Jeweller Orbs after 6 maps

violet nymph
#

chrisThinking maybe they accidentally made ruthless = standard chrisThinking

final summit
#

When it says that you will get the reward at the end of the sanctum it means literally the whole thing which has 4 different levels or whatever you want to call it

violet nymph
#

Lmao jkjk

#

Not my friend at the end of the floor

#

Yiu can get reward instantly, at end of floor, or when you clear sanctum

#

So far the end of floor reward doesn't work you cannot get it

hollow sigil
#

Floor definitely works

violet nymph
#

It doesn't work my dude I've lost like 5c yesterday

final summit
#

oh yea true actually, it gave me reward like twice and sometimes it doesn’t give any at the end of the floor

hollow sigil
#

I just got my 6 Jewellers after the boss

violet nymph
#

Lmao

final summit
#

Or maybe the reward was so trash that I didn’t even notice lol

violet nymph
#

Lmao

#

It doesn't put it into your inventory

#

I've noticed the end of floor reward at the bottom stays even when you clear it

#

It doesn't give you jack shit

#

Am I missing some key component to how the sanctum events are supposed to be played or is it INTENDED to just be a bullethell roguelite? That's fine if it is, just seemed like there was supposed to be more to it, considering it's in an arpg and all

#

like...there doesn't seem to be any way to restore your resolve easily. i figured at least a fountain room would do that but the fountain room also had a boss i had to kill so kind of seems like it defeats the purpose

final summit
#

yea I don’t really like it so far but it’s only day one, I’ll try it properly when I get decent gear and then I can judge

violet nymph
#

It would be cool if you had the option to double your reward if you choose to go one more floor

#

Or something like that

sacred token
#

I have a 25% chance to crash myself with my vaal flicker.

violet nymph
#

Lol

#

I crashed like 5 times yesterday on new instance

#

Gave up on playing

sacred token
#

Mental Issue

violet nymph
#

Bruh

#

It's just broken

sacred token
#

I got a div and Im only lv 60.

#

Im ok with crashing for once :'D

#

The crashes I get through Vaal Flicker Rollback me too

#

xD

cedar wigeon
#

Does anyone play volcanic fissure? Does the AoE scale projectile overlap ?

violet nymph
#

O

#

Abuse it

#

Vaal shit

sacred token
#

It's random

#

like 25%

violet nymph
#

Lmao

runic zephyr
#

so until you get a room that has a shop, collecting coins is completely pointless right?

violet nymph
#

Yep

runic zephyr
#

feels really good when all i can choose from in my early rooms are coins so i do 4 rooms with literally 0 drops and then fail xD

violet nymph
#

Lmao

sacred token
#

It's a gamble if I oneshot the act boss or my game hmm

hushed jungle
#

Hey guys, what's your league impressions so far?

violet nymph
#

It's shit

#

No rewards

candid anchor
#

tfw when you kill final sanctum boss only to get unable to connect to achievement server

#

also something is weird with uniques i keep getting doubles

#

just got it twice more

#

if it rolls me back on relaunch i swear..

slim vale
#

@candid anchor im getting spammed with unable to connect to achievement server too 😄

candid anchor
#

i got it LITERALLY as i killed end boss

#

so im super worried its going to brick my progress

slim vale
#

I got it while mapping

#

getting this message every second now

candid anchor
#

the irony is player count is lower than its been in a while

slim vale
#

LUL

#

fun fact i cant even hide it anyhow

candid anchor
#

also im not in maps but the end boss died in 3 seconds

#

28k base dps in act7 with ability to cast flam+elemental weakness

#

using 5 fireballs atm

robust fjord
#

new mechanic rewarding or no?

candid anchor
#

can't speak for mapping but super no

#

and im clearing the whole thing

#

worst part is it only works for certain builds

#

so many are ultra unviable there

#

especially melee, just throw any melee build you were going to make in the trash right now

wanton wigeon
#

Maaaan sucks vaal flicker can get hit during flicker, literally a suicide button and instant resolve loss

harsh bone
# robust fjord new mechanic rewarding or no?

So far, not really. Tier 9 here. Very underwhelming and surprisingly not fun. Facing 5 bosses at once with a trap that is persistent until every boss is dead really throws the whole idea of sanctum our the window. Not being able to dodge because the whole screen is attacks is really odd design especially when it's in the beginning of the second floor

#

I'd understand if that's the case in 4th floor to make it "difficult" but 2nd floor just seems to early to throw this many bosses at me at once

empty hawk
#

Ive found two relics how do I equip them

harsh bone
#

At the beginning of a new sanctum. You have to do the quest first in act 2

empty hawk
#

the den quest?

harsh bone
#

No the sanctum quest

empty hawk
#

I never noticed it, ill go back ty

harsh bone
#

I think the area is called fellshrine

frigid jewel
#

Yes, is in fellshrine.

blissful flint
#

Anyone know how you find the Relic Altar if its NOT in the decoration stash?

#

i can only find the Locker

small jungle
#

I cant equip any relics wtf am i missing something, just tells me to go to the fellshrine ruins

small jungle
glad bloom
small jungle
#

oh so like i need to so the whole sanctum like all 4 floors or whatever first

glad bloom
#

There will be altar near divinia

blissful flint
#

I didnt get the Altar

#

its literally gone

glad bloom
blissful flint
#

Yep

#

I got the Locker in my hideout

#

Ow, it HAS to do with the current error to achivements

#

Since achievements are fkkked atm. I cant get the altar

wispy dove
# robust fjord new mechanic rewarding or no?

so far not really, it feels like a massive waste of time if you die at any point of the run too, all the currency you unlock as prizes are only given out after you beat the boss, if you die at any point before beating the boss, all those rooms you cleared before mean nothing

ember horizon
#

So is this league another skip

cunning fern
ember horizon
#

Jokes on you I’ve been skipping since 3.13 xD

cunning fern
ember horizon
#

Meh the game used to be fun

wispy dove
#

specially melees getting fucked, but thats just par for the course with poe i guess

ember horizon
#

How do maps and loot feel compared to last league?

#

I haven’t played in a good while but keep checking back to see if there’s a fun league to jump into

cunning fern
#

there is no fun league

#

nothing is fun

ember horizon
#

Ok ruthless

solemn nest
#

Anyone else unable to place relics on the altar?

#

Like literally the first one you're given for free to show you how it works...

wispy dove
#

you can only place relics on new runs

#

if you had a run going when you received that first relic, you wouldnt be able to place it

solemn nest
#

No... Like I said, this is the tutorial

wispy dove
#

did you have a run going before this ?

solemn nest
#

In act 2 where Divinia takes you to a sanctum and tells you how it works

wispy dove
#

like

#

the areas before this

#

did you do a sanctum ?

#

cause if so, then you have a sanctum run ongoing

solemn nest
#

I guess I see what you mean

cunning fern
solemn nest
#

That might be one of the wors tutorials in gaming history then.

#

Well played.

wispy dove
#

smol indie company, please understand

cunning fern
#

everything is worst

stable bolt
#

not planning on playing sanctum until maps, is it as bad as reddit people say for melee range? (playing cold DoT so getting a bit spooked)

cunning fern
#

nothing was ever good

cunning fern
#

VFS is kinda tricky at times especially with trap rooms

solemn nest
#

Squints at beta 10+ years ago.

wispy dove
#

every league is a new beta

#

and were the testers

cunning fern
#

totems are pretty fucking good this league

cedar thicket
#

Wrong league to start melee

cunning fern
#

melee totems kek

cedar thicket
#

Also i league start with cleave

#

Biggest mistake made

wispy dove
cunning fern
#

ez jus scale cleave till it covers the whole screen

wispy dove
#

ggg hates melee and you'd be naive to think otherwise

cedar thicket
#

didnt they buff cleave tho

wispy dove
#

multiplying 0 remains 0

cedar thicket
#

Vaal cleave is a absolute scam

wispy dove
#

vaal cleave is like watching Goku charge a spirit bomb

#

it takes 5 episodes for it to go off

#

and then it does nothing.

cunning fern
#

idk, but there are ppl saying this league is worse then kalandra, i cant be asked kek

cedar thicket
#

Melee is unplayable in league content

wispy dove
#

nah its not worse than kalandra, no way

cedar thicket
#

"Just dont get hit"

wispy dove
#

its just the mechanic sucks ass for melee

#

"It's fine, melee takes less resolve damage"

#

no it doesnt

#

it feels the same

cunning fern
#

some reddit comments say so kek

glad bloom
#

No fun, no hope, only tears of casual weak players

wispy dove
#

furthermore you are incentivized to not take fountains at all and instead just go for currency/chests to stack rewards, so taking any resolve damage at all is bad

#

but its not a big deal to me because i'm already used to melee being treated like garbage by GGG

cunning fern
#

gotta say the relic thing seems really fking strong tho

wispy dove
#

one more league with that treatment makes no difference

cunning fern
#

maybe some op relic might make melee bearable

Hello.
How do you unlock relics?

wispy dove
#

get lucky.

#

...no really, get lucky drops

#

unless you mean being able to use them, in which case, do act 2's quest for divinia

onyx condor
#

why system spam this ?

violet nymph
#

wait you still take damage real hp in sanctum right?

mild ingot
violet nymph
#

you can die in sanctum?

#

i thoughy you only lose reasolve not hp in sanctum

mint bloom
#

you're expected to manage hp same as usual in the rest of the game

#

for resolve you're supposed to dodge stuff

violet nymph
#

i thought they said its like immune to death

#

still fked for hc ic

solar grove
#

anybody know how I'm supposed to get divinia so I can use relics?

#

I don't remember what I did in acts, but I can't find her now

#

and i still can't use relics after going through like 4 or 5 full sanctum runs in maps

violet nymph
#

in act 2 fellshrine

solar grove
#

ah got it, thanks 😄

low gyro
#

I think the resolve mechanic is a bad way to implement a new system, especially when the mechanic is not rewarding at all compared to basicly everything else

twilit turtle
#

It's just me or does the game feel harder? Seem to be always dying, bosses seem to have more hp or I'm doing less damage

low gyro
#

in this case its early kalandra lake 2.0 just worse

tough wharf
#

debating if it's worth rerolling into a ranged or summoner, or if league mechanic will be pultry at higher levels

twilit turtle
#

Playing seismic trap, I should be melting content, acts feel so much harder then they did before archnemesis was introduced...

tough wharf
#

are rewards good at high level pf sanctum?

violet nymph
#

reached act 2 died to some weird mob that was hiding in a corner spamming fire balls. yea im gonna play something else

#

i dont play a game that punishes me the more i play it

mint bloom
#

I recommend using ancestral protector + multiple totems + 2 damage links (or ancestral warchief + a damage support if you're doing aoe melee damage) for melee builds

#

in sanctum

#

they block attacks for you, aggro enemies and do damage while you run around

peak laurel
#

Man fuck GGG for removing lord of steel jewels

violet nymph
#

fundetected

twilit turtle
#

Fuck ggg for nerfing players while making mobs tougher. Game is not enjoyable.... they're making it too fucking hard

violet nymph
#

i think the general idea is to make the game harder so its always going in one direction. well like glass of water one day it's gonna spill

low gyro
#

I dont know what you are talking about, I got to maps in around 7 hours and had my tabula and a 6 link bow in 1 hour of farming maps.....

twilit turtle
#

All good and well for some... but casual players just getting punished... I've never died so many times in acts..

twilit turtle
mint bloom
#

game doesnt seem harder in acts than last league imo

#

rares are much much easier

violet nymph
#

did you try santcum

#

its really bad

twilit turtle
#

No its harder then it was before archnemesis league. Ever since then it's been harder

mint bloom
#

I havent died in sanctum at all

low gyro
mint bloom
#

I've lost sanctum runs all the time sure

#

but that's to be expected on a starter

mint bloom
low gyro
#

man this channel feels like a shotgun dude fighting a sniper on range and wondering why he lose....

tough wharf
#

are rewards good at high level of sanctum?

twilit turtle
mint bloom
#

ok

#

well it is easier

#

from someone who played last league till the last day

twilit turtle
#

Seems like they have increased life or just made acts harder in general

violet nymph
#

bruh if you played last league until the last day your brain is probably fried.

#

there havent been any good leagues recently

#

you have to detox man 😄

twilit turtle
#

Not since they introduced nemesis mods....

mint bloom
#

eh I didnt enjoy the LoK mechanic much, but base game was fine

#

and there were lots of builds to try

violet nymph
#

i miss ultimatum. i played that and it was so much fun

mint bloom
#

I didnt play all league, I took a break in between

#

but then I came back and still enjoyed it

violet nymph
#

after ultimatum everything went to shit. and they nerfed the mana architype so i couldnt even play it once 😦

twilit turtle
#

Been forced into playing same builds for last 3 leagues because otherwise it's not enjoyable... because it's too fucking hard now..

mint bloom
#

I made 3 builds just using obliteration + ming's heart

#

WoC ignite, BF/BB Occultist, Stormbrand Occultist

twilit turtle
#

Main meta builds been same for ages.

violet nymph
#

i remember when i could play slams. rip

gleaming zodiac
#

got an explosion of jeweller's orb from an essence mob 😱 first time i see that

twilit turtle
#

They want to shake up the meta but we're still playing the same builds because everything else is mediocre at best ..

twilit turtle
#

Wow man that loot is amazing...... not

#

depends on when he got it

it's pretty good in acts

even so, i cant do shit with melee

thats why im trying to figure out if rewards for sanctum are any good in later game. will need to reroll to something else

hey can someone help me

gleaming zodiac

Hey! How do I move relic over to the altar? please help. (using controller btw)

gleaming zodiac
#

you must be on a fresh sanctum to be able to place relics (i have no idea what controller buttons it is tho)

random coral
#

I had to move the relic to my inventory first! It's always something wrong when using a controller

#

Does anyone know I got to maps without doing league mechanic, but now I cant find the portals in act 2 or act7 to get the boom. I have the sanctum portals appearing in maps, just not in story mode.

haughty oracle
#

any advice if a EA ballista or skeleton mage build would be better for sanctum ?

gleaming zodiac
#

you just need to find the sanctum in fellshrine ruins a2 first and a7 after

#

that map is huge so you might need to full clear it (that's what i had to do personally)

is divergent molten strike worth something? there are noone in the market

So I just went into a sanctum, haven't chosen any rooms yet, where do I put the relic?

violet nymph

You must open your relic alter

#

Before you start the run

#

I think

mellow beacon
#

How though?

violet nymph
#

Did you complete the quest in act 2?

mellow beacon
#

Which one?

violet nymph
#

For the relic npc??

#

Um... How do I complete it? Never seen that NPC.

violet nymph
#

Fellshrine ruins

gloomy wharf
#

shes in every town i think

violet nymph
#

Go there and you'll see the npc

#

I think

#

You'll look for the sanctum entrance and she'll reward you one relic

mellow beacon
#

Oh yeah, I skipped that area, thanks.

violet nymph
#

Np

#

Um... So why can't I use it yet?

#

I did the mission and started a new run.

is this league good for a minion build?

minions got somewhat nerfed recently so it depends on gearing imo

ur gonna have to get better rares with minion stats

otherwise minion is always good

i will prob start minion if nothing else, u dont have to think very hard

Has anyone found out if afflicted Sanctum rooms give you more loot compared to the normal rooms?

I wonder if Tainted Fusing change makes the Beyond passives worth picking up

Can you lose Sanctum rooms outside of the sanctum?

I was in Act7 chamber of sins lvl 2, did the lab part and got this

pulsar juniper
#

so... what's the "floor" is it the whole "get to the end and beat teh boss" deal?

#

like, why is it that after 4 rooms i still can't get my rewards for the "floor"

olive bear
#

Floor is 8 rooms

clear gale
#

Room is 1 entry, floor is the current map (8 rooms)

pulsar juniper
#

oh

#

and there's how many floors?

clear gale
#

4

ahhh. I see.

I thought there was 4 "floors" on each tableau

ie: each set of 2 rooms

How you guys liking the league

#

i find it funny how it is chock full of anti player design

#

and how bugs affect the player only negatively

#

heck yea!

#

Remove 1 boon for removing 1 curse? Of course removing the boon works, removing the curse(well,affliction) only removes it from the list and the effect stays!

I need a means to quickly disable all my MTX and most of my skill graphic effects so I can actually see the sanctum shit I need to dodge.

left oxide
#

the room with a wall in the middle and lasers on two sides

#

with waves of guardians

#

such good design, we first force the player to go around the wall to avoid the beam then they get hit offscreen by the guardian

#

again and again and again

#

perfect.

Has anyone found out if afflicted Sanctum rooms give you more loot compared to the normal rooms? Or is it the same and afflicated rooms are just to be annoying?

#

Yo, Sanctum in Ruthless is being brutal...

#

Can't get past the first couple of rooms before running out of Resolve.

cosmic spire
#

well, everything is going to be brutal on ruthless

sharp iron

I'm running a cold damage build with a focus on ailments, and I actually find the Sanctum being super satisfying when I can slow enemies down and fully react to their attacks.

yo what does inspiration do in the sanctum

this is the best league we’ve had in a while

Am I just blind, or am I not able to equip Relics? I unlocked it hours ago but I can't find it

past haven
#

that really confused me when i first got a relic

drowsy orbit
#

Does anyone have an updated syndicate cheatsheet?

past haven
#

separately: my experience with sanctum is that once you start to learn the enemy attacks it becomes doable, but it's still a league that heavily favors ultra-mobile, fast casting glass cannons

#

because no other defenses work

#

except blow things up before they can hit you, or dodge everything. both of which are what you want to do as a glass cannon

#

well, and freeze / temp chains i guess

golden oar
#

is there an updated reference/guide for betrayal

lilac shale
#

not even close

wet crypt
#

how does the sanctum scale? is based on char lvl or what?

so how do we get relics beyond the free one, finshing a floor? I keep on loosing to resove after about room 6 and was hoping to find some relics to hopefully make it easier , also have not encountered any merchants

its a good idea to add rares which completely stuns you by attacking them

not even a single counterplay when you havent got ailment immunity yet

i did not realize until now that in the long winding rooms you only have to get to the end to count as completing the room, i thought you had the clear the main enemies.

dapper stump
#

Is it me or this is less rewarding than kalandra day 1?

#

I rerolled to seismic, can do some floors now, but I hardly find anything worthwhile

plain narwhal
#

Ok.... so this might be a dumb question. But since this is a 'rogue like' expansion, I thought we would get buffs during our runs, but I'm only getting debuffs and the Relic thing is either hard to drop or I'm unlucky.

dapper stump
#

It's a reverse rogue like

#

You get weaker during the run

plain narwhal
#

That's not a rogue like, it's just delve

dapper stump
#

I'm comparing sanctum to lakes

#

Game does feel more rewarding

plain narwhal
#

Then I agree. I'm early on but the 'best' thing I found in sanctum was a quicksilver

dapper stump
#

Well, I guess they will tune up the rewards later on

#

I mean in kalandra your difficulty 5+ chests started to look decent

#

Here I'm not getting anything ROGGERS

#

How to fix it, remove resolve, add more mobs

analog imp
#

your rewards dont come from the mobs but from the layout choice you make

plain narwhal
#

I mean, they called this a rogue like, so do what rogue like games do best. Give us some wacky mechanics. Skills can arc, extra projectiles, spawn kitava who attacks everyone. That's the best part about a rogue like. The way I see it the league right now is just Temple with extra steps

jaunty parcel
#

It's just lake 2.0 to me

olive raptor
#

Yeah the league mechanic is...meh. The only reason I'm even in the league is for Ruthless, which I'm finding extremely enjoyable

#

anyone fought lycia in lvl 83 area yet?

#

i fought her in t14 but she said i need to come back after im stronger

#

no wait it was t12

#

is there more of a fight at t16

#

also how do you dodge her enervation attack

wintry apex
#

I fought Lycia in an 80+ area (pretty sure) and got to what I assume is the next phase (not in the Sanctum anymore, through a portal)

#

T16 is definitely not needed for that because I haven't gone that far in maps yet at that point

#

Unless it was a bug ofc

#

Unfortunately I lost because she went into an invul phase and then one shot my life bar :D

fair aspen
#

I like this. Kinda fun

mild ingot

yea its kinda fun

mild ingot
inner mulch
#

Anyone figure out a way to farm the primordial jewels?

cunning fern
#

It’s fun but I jus hope relic drop more often

#

Mid tier relics at least

#

Top tier relics can stay rare

#

At least let us get decent amount of inspiration

#

Which allow us to take more risky rooms

sharp iron
#

So if we lose Resolve instead of Es/Life in the Sanctum, then does that mean we can activate auras which reserve life and get the damage bonus of Pain Attunement without any consequences in the Sanctum?

dense ruin
#

You take both

#

Although they do less damage relatively, you will still die

sharp iron
#

I'm assuming that means that Chaos Innoculation can't be used to prevent resolve loss from chaos attacks, then.

mild ingot
#

dont worry t14+ final boss does a lot of chaos

next epoch
#

I haven't confirmed, but someone mentioned that attacks that you block or evade still reduce your resolve

#

so I wouldn't expect being immune to damage would help either :/

mild ingot
#

literally the announcement stream but ok

sharp iron
#

Slowing enemies down with cold ailments or temporal chains has been the only way I've found to cheese out of taking resolve damage with your own build.

sonic stirrup
mild ingot
#

nah

#

its not rly damage

#

its kinda like some sort of on hit effect

sharp iron
#

On wait, what about Decoy totem?

mild ingot
#

thats good too

sharp iron
#

Doesn't fit on my cold damage shadow, but a strength build could use one of those.

mild ingot
#

the main rooms that are tough are the ones with 2 beams and multiple boss spawns so decoy might not rly be much help there

#

too much of a clusterfck

ashen prawn
#

is it just me or is mapping more worth it than going into sanctums

mild ingot
#

you kinda do sanctum for the thrill of hitting the final room\

#

rewards are not great

#

just like every week 1 league for a VERY long time now

ashen prawn
#

i do like the idea of sanctum

#

but rewards just dont make me want to go in, and resolve is lost too easily from undodgeable stuff

#

like the flicker stuff

mild ingot
#

flicker?

#

what flicker

#

you mean the dash cleave guy

gritty heath
#

I am just bad at dodging things in this game to begin with. This league feels bad. Besides dodging there is nothing going on. Can barely get past room 4

ashen prawn
#

yeah dash cleave

mild ingot
#

walk near him

#

also if you are walking it doesnt hit

gritty heath
ashen prawn
#

i mean some old players do enjoy it

#

but its not the majority

#

its more like a loud minority

#

most of the people who dont like it and whats been changing either just leave or are ignored on reddit

mild ingot
#

also dodging isnt rly the main focus of sanctum, pure dps is

ashen prawn
#

the amount of players that came back show that

gritty heath
mild ingot
#

dps is king

gritty heath
#

But it makes the whole resolve mechanic just silly

mild ingot
#

resolve is kinda balcned around high dps

gritty heath
#

Why punish defensive builds and promote a single archerype

mild ingot
#

league design has alawys promoted zoom zoom dps

next epoch
#

"high DPS" is hardly a build archetype

gritty heath
#

I know. Except they always try to slow things down but instead make zoomy leagues

mild ingot
#

thats always been the case

#

for a very long time

#

ggg says they want a slower game

#

but in practice they force ppl to go super dps builds to get the most out of league mechanics

#

thats been happening like forever

gritty heath
#

Yep. And then they struggle to balance the game with players in race cars

ashen prawn
#

or how they didnt know how delve builds worked

#

and nerfed it incorrectly

mild ingot
#

they really did nerf self curse boneshatter quite hard tho

how do you corrupt a sanctified relic?

according to the datamined stuff, you can corrupt one for a passive skill tree keystone

#

i am in act 9

#

not even feeling like loging back on

to finish acts

#

what a joke from chris showing 19 c at end of sanctum

#

and saying you can pick that like 15 times

#

when in reality, on floor 4, you are offered like 2c now vs 5c at the end ( and i have seen people in reds saying loot does not scale, very rarely does it offer something good)

#

MAYBE

#

if the at the end reward is not some shite like 14 chance

#

But it's ok, you can have roguelite fun getting 20 afflictions and 5 boons

#

first room,choose one of: chests drop no coins, you are blind, mobs have hyperspeed

#

yes daddy i will take my affliction

#

Also i think chris got pissed off at people building defenses on their chars

#

So he decided to make a league that completly ignores any defensive investment

#

go ahead, go full glass cannon, this is chris's wet dream.

candid anchor
#

id be more annoyed if my ssf drops werent great so far

#

+4 gem socket helm, (+2 regular +2 fire vaal) - using anger herald etc, will get empower later +1 global spell gem dagger (will grab the fire global spell gem dagger +1 eventually, using two would put my damage into too much chaos given my curse stacking)

#

that one dual slot ring that gives you life/mana on hit, goes super well when ive already decided to go fireball+spell echo+fast casting+extra projectiles

#

taunt minion belt for golems etc

#

i put knockback anoint on amulet even though im going glass cannon just because of how many times it casts with it

#

was initially planning to go elementalist just for lightning golem taunt start and swapping to occultist later given new temporal chains buff etc but

#

got a ton of stuff that boosts fireball now

#

the knockback gives enough time for the taunt to kick in with the giant attack speed boosted lightning golems too

#

very synergistic stuff

#

sanctum has dropped nothing good outside of currency/stacked decks yet though

#

sanctified relic at red maps might be useful idk ill tell you if one ever drops

i saw one on reddit

0.4% fire dmg leech and some other crap stat

im mostly annoyed the hitboxes are screwy

more currency from 1 heist than 1 sanctum floor

and every room seems to be another affliction

i deliberately avoided it even though i know its an option

playing ignite woc to go EK ignite

candid anchor

but there was 0 way i was going melee

but bleh

#

i just do not understand why they decided defenses should be worthless in mechanic

#

like cutting out 3/4ths of your character build

#

because they made defense checkboxes mandatory

candid anchor
#

someone joked they likely only tested one roguelike to work out what to do and tested curse of the dead gods

#

which... wouldnt surprise me if it was the case tbh

#

least favorite roguelike out of ones ive tried

#

path of exile is probably second...

#

and i've got 1k+ hours in some

#

anyone saying oh this stuff is normal for a roguelike is super wrong

there's ones where you get a ton of varied buffs and are still only dead if you mess up not bad design

make no mistake, they knew certain stuff would annoy players but chose to do it anyway

#

i can spend 10 hrs grinding a black mask in OSRS and be fine with it beacause it's a significant upgrade

#

in PoE you grind stuff.. to grind stuff faster?

#

And then they nerf the rewards anyways!?

i mean even if you're arguing its for cosmetic rewards

#

they didn't put any challenges on ruthless

# left oxide but PoE? afflictions forever

This was my biggest disappointment with the mechanic. I get that they decided it was going to be a bullethell roguelite, but it's genuinely no fun half the time because of the stacked afflictions. Would be different if you at least always had an option to get a minor treasure and no affliction, but you're forced into a bare minimum 3-4 afflictions per floor, usually more, and when those can be stuff like a FORTY PERCENT movement speed nerf...it's genuinely not a fun mechanic.

5:1 bets PoE is a lot closer to ruthless than most things

#

It's insane to me that their dream for ARPG dev, is removing the loot

candid anchor
#

did anyone else find it weird that they didnt put standard enemies in the roguelike mode?

left oxide
#

"minor affliction" chests drop no coins, lose 30 coins per room

#

blamo 2 minor afflictions run dead

#

if you do one run you've seen all the monsters

left oxide
#

yep

#

also every floor

#

same boss

#

all good roguelites have a bunch of bosses per floor

#

well hades does not

#

but still

#

TBoI has like 10 bosses for each floor

allright apparently cold dot cant do reflect maps xd

#

in PoE? you run sanctum f4 once you ran every sanctum forever

#

there will never be anything new

#

Worst part is how the bosses have no weight to them

#

they all move like they are on crack cocaine

candid anchor
#

the problem is they had bosses

#

they just didnt use them

left oxide
#

like 2nd floor duo boss you kill 1 boss then the other boss starts running at you and stomping you

#

if i was melee how would i ever deal with that shit

#

at least ranged i can atk move atk

candid anchor
#

could have thrown in standard ones and have modifiers you can choose add to get more boons

left oxide
#

but melee would be guaranteed hit

candid anchor
#

kinda ironic given the melee skills they gave out

#

then again they nerfed molten strike AND vaal molten strike right after they joked on twitter that best they can do is molten strike nerfs

left oxide
#

It's not a joke 🙂

speaking of

#

i haven't had a 5 link or even many 6 unlinks drop yet, had to go tabula rasa and that was a ton of farming as it was nerfed

#

im gonna go full tin foil here and suggest they may have nerfed pre-linked drops specifically to sell the link animation pack

#

packs are way too gimmicky now

#

same with the boxes

#

if they fix the game/their approach im still not going to buy packs if the new core ones are that gimmicky

#

Make cool cosmtics? NO! only clown show sparkly sparkly princess!

#

could be worse though, the kirac pass thing is useless for SSF

#

not that it makes any sense to begin with

#

having stuff not be universal is just dumb

#

wonder if thats why they're not balancing skills

#

why cant i pick this up on crimson township

noone will buy the RF skill gem cosmetic if they do 😛

wait what, just cleared the full sanctum and there was literally no rewards at the end room

left oxide
#

Haha ruthless will never influence normal PoE haha

#

anyways enjoy 2c now or 5c at the end

#

based rewards right guys?

#

no drops from final boss? great design!

#

You're really gonna complain about loot in this league?

left oxide
#

yes?

#

the league mech loot sucks

#

rares loot is on standard as well

#

when your league is as rewarding as standard something is wrong.

polar orchid
#

How far into maps have you got and how far into the actual sanctum have you got

left oxide
#

90% of the reward choices in sanctum are bubblegum currency

#

it is uninspired and insipid af

#

you can farm faster chain mapping

#

made it to lycia during acts, then cannot be arsed to finish a10

#

because the league mech just does not have any fun in it

#

and i was very hyped to play this league after skipping 3 leagues

polar orchid
#

Yeah judging the league by act loot kekw

left oxide
#

People on reddit reporting it is same shit in reds

#

with slightly higher numbers

#

you might get lucky and defer 1 or 2 divines

#

for your 32 maps worth of mechanic

#

with risk of not finishing sanctum and not getting them

#

great loot boys

streamers going 10 full sanctums with no sanct relic

It's ok they are just untradable rng gear drops

#

Just skip all leagues until PoE 2

#

At this league PoE2 will be hot garbage

Has anyone else experienced a rare mob that seemingly gives all your gems a level on death?

#

i rarely pay attention to tags, so im not sure what it was. but i have experienced this at least 3 times in the campaign so far

Has anyone been able to corrupt their sanctified relic?

#

it says in poedb the relics have a corruptions mod pool

#

but I can't vaal them because they say they are unmodifiable

#

wait how is sanctum 3 floors? i struggle with first one, what im missing?

left oxide
#

you melee?

#

i did up to final sanctum boss in campaign as woc ignite, failed it by 30% hp

#

Sanctum was designed to screw over melee

wet harbor
#

feels like the overall reaction to sanctum is the gameplay is good but the boon curse system is lopsided

hwo good is vaal grace now??
