They did start it earlier this time around
Perfect Now I just gotta decide on EA ballista or wave of conviction start lmao
It's always the the league starter. Hard to choose ;p
idk what i am doing lol
I'm doing RF. Pretty good if you like the playstyle
BV assassin or VG pathfinder
What is VG?
venom Gyre
Yeah RF always legit I’ve done it the past 2 leagues so wanted something diff
Why assassin for BV? Go poison occy
idk
Tuna put out a guide. And it's tuna so you know its gonna be a juicer
i will look in to it
i quit last league after 2 days, dont know if i wanna give sanctum a try. too little balance changes imo
should give it a whirl
archnem bonk was a big balance change
league mechanic seems better, new atlas stuff is cool
nice name 🤣
i killed hillock and operation time out'd oof
infinite loading screen anyone?
just reset
servers borked
br server here, 2 kicks already
chain dcing from char selection 3 times in a row now
yep i got booted from servers too on milan server
good thing the queues are fast and not big
amsterdam x2 and belgium 1
Did they buff EXP? I'm overleveled for some reason
no, a lot more creatures on act areas
with the changes to Voltaxic Rift do you all think it's worth running?
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
im loving it..showcases the need to dodge rather than spam
I did like that everything seems to have windup anims
First room boss kept spamming an ability that hits everything close to him though
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
This is my first time using Poisonous Concoction, wtf is this skill
FB OR COC?
Guys, how does this sanctum thing really work? i mean can i gain resolve in some way?
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?
You wont find sanctum boss in act
focus is horseshit
Can't slot a sanctum relic after dropping it from inventory to locker and then trying to interact with relic altar. Cool.
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
Anyone discovered the new way to get primordial jewels?
Where are all of the quality currency explosions
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
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
wat? i did, i fought the birthday cake one
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
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
what skill to bonk
Are/were you mid-sanctum run? It looks like it locks the altar unless you're at the start of a fresh run.
Nah, it was when you first meet the NPC. If you go into the run proper on next event portal you can use it.
Is league started on console?
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?
i used to always go skill points in act 2 but alira is more useful with the current mana levels of most skills
Evasion works? Seriously?
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
unless sometimes im clealy in range of enemy attacks and they randomly dont deal damage or cost resolve
especially nice with any regen on damage you can get ofc
And they said it wouldn't matter if you were evasion or not, wow
I'm gonna get some tea
might be glitches lol
yeah i wouldnt buy evasion items just yet
Hope they fix that by either making evasion not matter, no offense, but it is a little unfair :P
if they dont im going all in on it
tbh its stupid that mitigation doesnt work anyways
for sure, clearly rushed
It really is, they tried to make it out to be equal among the classes but mobility and dps are king
glass cannon league is the way to go atm
mitigation is doa in Sanctum
especially bc of inspiration
especially because of temporal chains/curse changes
Which is a shame because I adore turtle playstyles
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
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
Why zoom zoom is it time based?
It's easier to avoid hits if you move faster
Enemies have windup
So it's heist league? 😄
kind of
Heist League was doable with mitigation too
resolve is pretty like early heist alert levels
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
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
That's what it's like to be a slowbie in Sanctum
minions are kinda trash atm outside of niche stuff
Why do they keep making mechanics that require god-level amount of reflex and speed
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
It's early league though, I assume all builds are a lot faster in red maps
Can't get to the mines in highgate 🙃 keeps crashing non stop never had this issue before
I wonder if they'll change it like they did in Heist
Probably not
I might wind up respeccing
im sick of mid league fixes
Just have to decide what to play
they only fix stuff after most people have already left the league
and thats terrible for game health
I could go flicker strike for the memes
Well the thing is
It was expected from everyone that glass cannons would be the best as soon as they introduced the resolve mechanic
because they expected GGG to not think it through
And we knew they would fuck it up day 1
yeah the fact this kind of stuff is normalized is so dumb
With like 5% thinking that it would be well balanced
hopefully D4 puts a spur in their boots
How the hell do you equip a relic?
Its balanced around relics improving it, and players improving.
Youre not supposed to go 32 easily
yeah no it pretty heavily favors some builds
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
Yo, is elemental hit viable in this league?
How do I equip the first relic we got at the ruins?
are rewards broken? "reward at the end of a floor" doesnt drop anything at the end of a floor?
Did you kill the boss?
anyone got new relics?
Weird
anyone can trade me a ballista support gem? i can give you a +1 all chaos gems wand for it
oops, i just read the message on #trading
sorry
/invite
But why is the button gone...
both my friends have the same issue
We can invite people on our friendslists
But not strangers
In the chat
Like, I said it’s a bug
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
They did say monsters did nominal damage but mainly resolve damage in the livestream
indeed, it's anti melee
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
Im leveling a Jug RF
I just hope Im not choosing a playstyle that is literally incompatible with the league mechanic
What does a benevolent fountain do?
as in how does it differenciate from a normal fountain?
I think it gives a boon, think relic from other rogue likes
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
those using volcanic fissure, what links have you got atm? what seems to work the best so far??
Do all relics only affect you inside the sanctum?
I mean what will you do with increased resolve outside the sanctum?
Its a static cost of 150 coins for a benevolent fountain
And 5 for a regular fountain
Yeah I feel like that's stupid. Every other room has an affliction that you just gain, but the other side "boons" cost coins?
Because boons are good and you want them. If you Had to pay to get a Bane you would never get one
They are minor
And you don't get many boons on one floor
Most of them
im a bit confused. i picked the "receive currency after completion of room" i completed the room and yet didnt receive rewards?
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
"chests drop no coins" is that really a minor affliction?
Pretty much? Compared to Major afflictions yes
Gaining power in the sanctum relies on having coins. Stopping you from getting any more coins sounds like a huge downside
any input on the room completion rewarsd?
It's always "now, floor, sanctum"
im not sure if you understand my question. i picked the middle option
you still get coins from monsters with that affliction
That's weird, you should get it
We'll see how it is later. It's too early to tell
if i look at sanctum i see 2 rewards that says "get at end of floor"
what is the definition of a floor?
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
ah ok i get it now thanks
I can see people complaining how the head that shoots fire laser is active too often
It punishes melee too much
this would have been a very good league to start as storm brand
can't place relic in Altar?
can't do it while a run is active
ty
How do you even equip relics
Do you need to wait for it to somehow activate like scourge?
Oh okay then
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
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
Yeah I feel bad for playing RF lol
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
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.
damn vortex cold dot damage is disgusting...
prob my fastest solaris & lunaris fight
even faster than absolution prob
Do I need to meet Justinia at fellshrine ruins? She doesnt seem to be spawning
I finished acts, just missed her when i was originally there i guess
She was standing right next to the entrance when I entered
I'll try forcing a new instance then, ty
what is the end of the floor?
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?
A floor is 8 rooms
ahh I see ty
is it just me or are we dropping MUCH more stuff than last league?
why do i have to add people to invite them to group now? what's this?
sanctum uniques https://poedb.tw/us/Sanctum_uniques
PoEDB provides things come out each league, as well as items, uniques, skills and passives. Path of Exile Wiki editing functions.
Do the afflicted rooms have better loot?
I'm feeling that too. A lot of mini loot explorsions from rare mobs
Why cant i click on the altar?
In case you still have this, restart your client. Small patch
i believe you need relics to interact with it
But i had relics in my inventory.
hum then i dont know sorry
Sickk i like the wilma helm
Willma balls fit
so flicker does suck in sanctum...sad
Most melee classes has it harder in sanctum, range has it way easier.
expected flicker to lose less resolve since its literally on top but still gets cuckrd
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
Where exactly do I put the relics?
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
Yeah I forgot I went to the second floor. :'3
i still can't put mine in at the beginning of the sanctum
What are the best atlas passives for unique farming in SSF? The new Metamorph ones?
can't interact with the table 😦
These relics are trash anyway lol you’re not missing out on much
Bro when is GGG gonna fix sanctum rewards ????
What do you mean fix?
Dude it doesn't give the reward when you clear the floor
Unless clearing the floor = clearing the whole sanctum it's bugged
Not even mentioning that you get like 6 Jeweller Orbs after 6 maps
maybe they accidentally made ruthless = standard 
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
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
Floor definitely works
It doesn't work my dude I've lost like 5c yesterday
oh yea true actually, it gave me reward like twice and sometimes it doesn’t give any at the end of the floor
I just got my 6 Jewellers after the boss
Lmao
Or maybe the reward was so trash that I didn’t even notice lol
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
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
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
I have a 25% chance to crash myself with my vaal flicker.
Mental Issue
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
Does anyone play volcanic fissure? Does the AoE scale projectile overlap ?
Lmao
so until you get a room that has a shop, collecting coins is completely pointless right?
Yep
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
Lmao
It's a gamble if I oneshot the act boss or my game 
Hey guys, what's your league impressions so far?
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..
@candid anchor im getting spammed with unable to connect to achievement server too 😄
i got it LITERALLY as i killed end boss
so im super worried its going to brick my progress
the irony is player count is lower than its been in a while
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
new mechanic rewarding or no?
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
Maaaan sucks vaal flicker can get hit during flicker, literally a suicide button and instant resolve loss
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
Ive found two relics how do I equip them
At the beginning of a new sanctum. You have to do the quest first in act 2
the den quest?
No the sanctum quest
I never noticed it, ill go back ty
I think the area is called fellshrine
Yes, is in fellshrine.
Anyone know how you find the Relic Altar if its NOT in the decoration stash?
i can only find the Locker
I cant equip any relics wtf am i missing something, just tells me to go to the fellshrine ruins
How do you complete the quest, im down in the area with divinia and nothing is happening
You can equip relics only when you start new sanctum ( 1 floor first room)
oh so like i need to so the whole sanctum like all 4 floors or whatever first
There will be altar near divinia
Or fail
Complete divinia quest in act 2?
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
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
So is this league another skip
yes, every league is a skip, if ur not skipping, ur doing it wrong
Jokes on you I’ve been skipping since 3.13 xD
good, was expecting earlier tho
Meh the game used to be fun
wouldnt say so just yet, the mechanic seems good, but definitely feels like it needs some fine tuning
specially melees getting fucked, but thats just par for the course with poe i guess
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
Ok ruthless
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...
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
No... Like I said, this is the tutorial
did you have a run going before this ?
In act 2 where Divinia takes you to a sanctum and tells you how it works
like
the areas before this
did you do a sanctum ?
cause if so, then you have a sanctum run ongoing
I guess I see what you mean
u need a new sanctum to place the thing, if u hav a current one u are unable to place it
everything is worst
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)
nothing was ever good
VFS is okayish, Frozen Legion + VEQ is not bad, idk about boneshatter
VFS is kinda tricky at times especially with trap rooms
Yea. And the game only just came out too! They're just learning 
Squints at beta 10+ years ago.
totems are pretty fucking good this league
melee totems 
its always the wrong league to start melee
ez jus scale cleave till it covers the whole screen
multiplying 0 remains 0
Vaal cleave is a absolute scam
vaal cleave is like watching Goku charge a spirit bomb
it takes 5 episodes for it to go off
and then it does nothing.
idk, but there are ppl saying this league is worse then kalandra, i cant be asked 
Melee is unplayable in league content
nah its not worse than kalandra, no way
"Just dont get hit"
its just the mechanic sucks ass for melee
"It's fine, melee takes less resolve damage"
no it doesnt
it feels the same

some reddit comments say so 
No fun, no hope, only tears of casual weak players
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
gotta say the relic thing seems really fking strong tho
one more league with that treatment makes no difference
maybe some op relic might make melee bearable
Im only at act 5 i can just reroll tbh
@empty jackal like a shield before ur resolve
it take ur inspiration first before ur resolves
like ES
before life
nice
Hello.
How do you unlock relics?
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
why system spam this ?
wait you still take damage real hp in sanctum right?
because its unable to connect to achievement server
you're expected to manage hp same as usual in the rest of the game
for resolve you're supposed to dodge stuff
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
in act 2 fellshrine
ah got it, thanks 😄
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
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
in this case its early kalandra lake 2.0 just worse
debating if it's worth rerolling into a ranged or summoner, or if league mechanic will be pultry at higher levels
Playing seismic trap, I should be melting content, acts feel so much harder then they did before archnemesis was introduced...
are rewards good at high level pf sanctum?
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
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
fundetected
Fuck ggg for nerfing players while making mobs tougher. Game is not enjoyable.... they're making it too fucking hard
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
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.....
All good and well for some... but casual players just getting punished... I've never died so many times in acts..
Good for you... you want a medal
No its harder then it was before archnemesis league. Ever since then it's been harder
I havent died in sanctum at all
wrong archnem league had normal rares
ya but it's easier than last league right
man this channel feels like a shotgun dude fighting a sniper on range and wondering why he lose....
are rewards good at high level of sanctum?
I wouldn't know didn't play because it's was worst league I've ever played
Seems like they have increased life or just made acts harder in general
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 😄
Not since they introduced nemesis mods....
eh I didnt enjoy the LoK mechanic much, but base game was fine
and there were lots of builds to try
i miss ultimatum. i played that and it was so much fun
I didnt play all league, I took a break in between
but then I came back and still enjoyed it
after ultimatum everything went to shit. and they nerfed the mana architype so i couldnt even play it once 😦
Been forced into playing same builds for last 3 leagues because otherwise it's not enjoyable... because it's too fucking hard now..
I made 3 builds just using obliteration + ming's heart
WoC ignite, BF/BB Occultist, Stormbrand Occultist
Main meta builds been same for ages.
i remember when i could play slams. rip
got an explosion of jeweller's orb from an essence mob 😱 first time i see that
They want to shake up the meta but we're still playing the same builds because everything else is mediocre at best ..
Wow man that loot is amazing...... not
Yeah doubt that
a9 in the oasis
T13 map 🤣
nice, just entering a9 myself
are rewards good at high level of sanctum?
Are you trying to play a slam build now?
eh, looks fairly easy
I just find the sheer number of debuffs very funny, does it stay similar later game?
how do you do so well with so many affliction?
he has 800 inspiration
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
got to love Dcing when using vaal flicker map is closed all the things you did in the map are rolled back loot, xp and if you dinged you back down a lv xD
Is there a global chat for ruthless SC trade?
i just wanna say i didnt expect -40% movement speed and root on hit, bruh
every time I get an affliction I get 100 inspiration from a relic
lol
hey can someone help me
nice 😱
Hey! How do I move relic over to the altar? please help. (using controller btw)
you must be on a fresh sanctum to be able to place relics (i have no idea what controller buttons it is tho)
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.
any advice if a EA ballista or skeleton mage build would be better for sanctum ?
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
How many floors does one sanctum contains ?
👍thanks
does anyone know how difficulty scaling for the forbidden sanctum works yet? does the level of the area from which you enter the sanctum affect the difficulty or is it scaled to character level or what?
eldrich currency is bugged?
yep
Is it just me or is the cosmetics this league really lame?
has anyone found which map the wedding gift card drops in yet?
Did they fix floor rewards yet?
So I just went into a sanctum, haven't chosen any rooms yet, where do I put the relic?
How though?
Did you complete the quest in act 2?
Which one?
For the relic npc??
Um... How do I complete it? Never seen that NPC.
Fellshrine ruins
shes in every town i think
Go there and you'll see the npc
I think
You'll look for the sanctum entrance and she'll reward you one relic
Oh yeah, I skipped that area, thanks.
Np
those circle things sohuld be t he spots
u need to unlock
i think
as in the circle spots are the unlocked ones
u need to unlock the others
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
minions have worked well so far
otherwise minion is always good
if thats the first one you got, you can place it at the start of your next run
i will prob start minion if nothing else, u dont have to think very hard
I'd started minions because I was gonna do a kind of summoner anyways, makes for easy starting
ty mate 😄
Has anyone found out if afflicted Sanctum rooms give you more loot compared to the normal rooms?
😡 Remove Resolve bar 😡
? Why remove resolve bar?
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
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"
Floor is 8 rooms
Room is 1 entry, floor is the current map (8 rooms)
4
ahhh. I see.
I thought there was 4 "floors" on each tableau
ie: each set of 2 rooms
act 7 sanctum 1st floor boss
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.
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.
Got myself into the fun position yet again of "need to upgrade resist on gear" and "removing any piece of gear leaves me with too low stats for gems"
i usually lazy fix that
with an onyx ammy with +all stats +hp
should be cheapish on trade
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?
Just annoying
Yo, Sanctum in Ruthless is being brutal...
Can't get past the first couple of rooms before running out of Resolve.
well, everything is going to be brutal on ruthless
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.
can’t wait to play on xbox
yo what does inspiration do in the sanctum
it's another layer of hit points that protects resolve
Am I just blind, or am I not able to equip Relics? I unlocked it hours ago but I can't find it
dunno where it might have gone, but note that you can't equip during a run, and when you save a room it begins a run and locks in your relic config
that really confused me when i first got a relic
Does anyone have an updated syndicate cheatsheet?
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
is there an updated reference/guide for betrayal
not even close
how does the sanctum scale? is based on char lvl or what?
Wtf? I still don't understand!
I simply can't equip them, the table is fucking shown for me on the map but I can't interact with it
xd
help?
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
I have restarted and there is no patch. How do I fix?
i got my first relic drop on 2nd boss, they seem to drop from bosses.
is there a way to reduce the amount of damage my resolve takes?
does it correlate to the damage i'm taking to my health?
Who thought
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
Just Don’t Get Hit, or certain boons
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.
is there a way to stack up santum runs?
you can save up to 8 rooms (one entire floor) by entering the sanctum, clicking on the podest were you see your layout and then click the bottom left button
lifehack! thanks

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
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.
Do you mean the league mechanic or the game in general? I agree with the league mechanic part, but the game in general is giving me more loot than kalandra
That's not a rogue like, it's just delve
Then I agree. I'm early on but the 'best' thing I found in sanctum was a quicksilver
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 
How to fix it, remove resolve, add more mobs
your rewards dont come from the mobs but from the layout choice you make
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
It's just lake 2.0 to me
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
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
I like this. Kinda fun
yea its kinda fun
i guess its t14+ which makes sense
Anyone figure out a way to farm the primordial jewels?
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
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?
You don’t lose resolve instead of life
You take both
Although they do less damage relatively, you will still die
I'm assuming that means that Chaos Innoculation can't be used to prevent resolve loss from chaos attacks, then.
dont worry t14+ final boss does a lot of chaos
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 :/
literally the announcement stream but ok
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.
Shouldn't Enfeeble and such also work?
On wait, what about Decoy totem?
thats good too
Doesn't fit on my cold damage shadow, but a strength build could use one of those.
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
is it just me or is mapping more worth it than going into sanctums
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
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
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
yeah dash cleave
Are people jus trolling with these? Ruthless is the worst idea they've ever had
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
also dodging isnt rly the main focus of sanctum, pure dps is
the amount of players that came back show that
Well yeah. Low dps = dodge 50 times. High dps = dodge 5 times and move on
dps is king
But it makes the whole resolve mechanic just silly
resolve is kinda balcned around high dps
Why punish defensive builds and promote a single archerype
league design has alawys promoted zoom zoom dps
"high DPS" is hardly a build archetype
I know. Except they always try to slow things down but instead make zoomy leagues
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
Yep. And then they struggle to balance the game with players in race cars
they really did nerf self curse boneshatter quite hard tho
ever since breach league
sadly
any1 want to do the first labyrinth with me?\
So, got my first relic but it doesn't let me slot it into the altar
wait till u reset ur sanctum
Ahh. Makes sense. I'm in the middle of one before getting the quest step
There's no kirac vault pass this league?
what's a floor and what's a sanctum?
The league mechanic
and they said boons are not meaningful wtf
lol I bought it and got another boon instead
what is going on
can you do sanctum in standard?
No
anyone know why i cant equip any relics
I think you need to unlock a room or something
i finally got to maps.. but skipped these main quests for sanctums, can somebody pls write acts and map if possible ?
or is it somewhere written already ?
kk, thanks
Can only equip before the first room in a run
It is good if 1) you are ranged 2) you have a lot of dmg
So I've stored my sanctum for the first time, got to 8, now I'm confused in my hideout trying to figure out how to run them. Anyone?
I SUFFERED 38 FUCKING GAME CRASHES ALREADY
AND LOST AROUND 35C DUE TO IT
AND 16 MAP COMPLETIONS
GGG, FIX YOUR FUCKIN GAME
how do you corrupt a sanctified relic?
according to the datamined stuff, you can corrupt one for a passive skill tree keystone
like ghost reaver, iron will, etc...
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.
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
the good ones from showcase? HAHAHA
Also hearing reports of streamers going 10+ full red map sanctums no sanc relic
that's 320 maps yo
yeah im not optimistic given how terrible kalandra drops were
didnt even get one of the special mists ever
i was so hyped for this leageu after 3 leagues whitout playing
then not even having the drive to finish acts
...
last league was worse but not by much
im mostly annoyed the hitboxes are screwy
more currency from 1 heist than 1 sanctum floor
and every room seems to be another affliction
kinda funny that people are 100% skipping all the mechanics just going minions or cold dot or something that doesnt require you to be present
yep :/
i deliberately avoided it even though i know its an option
playing ignite woc to go EK ignite
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
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
TBoI, gungeon, hades, so much god stuff
one step from eden is hyper hectic but if you get hit you don't go omg why is the hitbox 100% the size of the animation
ror, ror2
not one roguelite hammers you with nerfs
for every single buff you could get
or for simply progressing
but PoE? afflictions forever
yeah curse of the dead gods is the only one i can think of
and barely anyone likes that
yep :/
this is like the fifth league in a row where they've messed up massively
It's not even the grind it's just the futility of it all
stuff like the melee or defense issue you'd work out day 1 of 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
their pet project
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
did anyone else find it weird that they didnt put standard enemies in the roguelike mode?
"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
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
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
could have thrown in standard ones and have modifiers you can choose add to get more boons
but melee would be guaranteed hit
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
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 😛
wish I dropped nothing instead of this
It’s bugged.
wait what, just cleared the full sanctum and there was literally no rewards at the end room
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?
yes?
the league mech loot sucks
rares loot is on standard as well
when your league is as rewarding as standard something is wrong.
How far into maps have you got and how far into the actual sanctum have you got
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
Yeah judging the league by act loot kekw
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
anyone with metamorph nodes? have replicated results allocated but no option to assemble 2nd one, bug?
how do you apply the relics?
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

its one of the new hidden mods, huge multiplier to gem xp, its not associated to any tag
I see, thanks!
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?
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
feels like the overall reaction to sanctum is the gameplay is good but the boon curse system is lopsided
damn the sanctum final boss actually one shot me
