[tropic frost]

this is jsut absolute bs innit

[solid panther]

not happy with my spark inquis and thinking about trying Shockwave totem. anybody has positive experiences with the build ? nobody of my friends played it yet

[jovial tundra]

could you cheese trials with reverse knockbak roomba cyclone w/ southbound gloves and just setting all your guys to flank

[frigid lance]

I think the bosses are stun immune so they might just 1 shot you eventually. I'm running cyclone (w/o knock back, but vaal cyclone roombas) and depending on the boss some will just 1 tap me through the Roomba

[quasi verge]

Is anyone else having issues crashing to desktop constantly? keep failing time sensative content to just freezing up for 20 seconds and then finally landing on the login screen

[fair aspen]

It's been a crashy league so far aye. No freeze for me, just boom

[solemn coral]

can you guys help me appraise these rare shields? i see very expensive similar shields on trade site:
https://imgur.com/a/2qyyTcf
and a mirrored copy

[sonic cove]

hey guys, any tips on good helmet bases to enchant? I run lab but idk the meta very well

[sterile brook]

Generally, go to https://poe.ninja and look at the helmet enchants page to see the more useful enchants, and then check the most popular unique helmets, and being them plus i83+ versions of the highest defense ES, Armour and Evasion bases. Hubris helmets for ES, can't recall for the other two but you can look them up on the wiki

[solemn coral]

any tips on how i can price check my shield? @sterile brook
I find it hard to know what exactly is the cause of the price, i tried looking at fire damage+fire skill level+spell damage and i see 30-100 chaos but very little items to see so im not sure if this makes sense

[marsh musk]

if you're lazy just throw it up on the high end of the prices and lower it if nobody is buying

check offline too maybe there's some more accurate listings

also does anyone know if there's a way to target farm ancestor uniques?

[sterile brook]

Hard to say without seeing the shield in game, but in general starting high and lowering down like mantas said is a good idea. Make sure to not include wasted stats like resistance in the search, and use wider ranges, not just 32-34 fire damage for example, but 30-40

[solemn coral]

i pasted the image link, but here it is again

[marsh musk]

is that an open suffix or prefix

[solemn coral]

lemme check

suffix

[marsh musk]

you can harvest swap that resist too so you can check prices for shields with any resist ~40+

open suffix is good too

[dusty cosmos]

30-100c range seems right

put it up and lower it every day until it sells

[solemn coral]

ill give it a try

[dusty cosmos]

craft a double res suffix so more people find it on filters

[solemn coral]

hmm will do

do mirrored copies sell for the same?

[quasi verge]

no

[dusty cosmos]

significantly less

[solemn coral]

gotcha

is that 50% less or 99% less?

[quasi verge]

mirrored items are more bricked than corrupted items

[solemn coral]

ah

[dusty cosmos]

closer to 99%

not being able to modify sockets is a problem

[solemn coral]

oh thats the effect? yikes

im really new

[quasi verge]

you can put any benchcrafts on them or use currency

vaal items you can put bench crafts on, for the added cost of additional vaal orbs

[final bear]

Heya, i just got to the end of main quest where i have to do the Map, i bought my gear on the market and now i'm ready to do maps, but when ever i hit a monster with boneshatter i take a lot of dmg back and if i hit 2-3 monsters together i instantly die(3.5k Life, full res capped and nearly 6k armour). Any idea?

[little moat]

i swear the "your rivival speed is being increased" works opposite of how it should

it increases time or pauses or something

[sonic cove]

volatile dead -> bone helmet
lancing steel -> royal burgonet
eye of winter -> blizzard crown
which is best?

[gloomy trail]

Can anyone help Price check this wand, i never played a minion build, but its the first time i see something that i believe could be interesting

[patent ridge]

Do any of you guys even try to fight the bosses or just run away from them at rank 430+

Cause I'm just playing tag at this point

[torpid turtle]

I'm playing with flamewood totems so I just let them tank the boss and eventually he dies.. or i just capture his totems while he's distracted

[deft girder]

I run corrupting warcry, I notice they tend to stick to me aggressively so taunt seems to stick or my CD is short enough to deal with less taunt duration on them.

[twin mauve]

this want is amazing

how do the SRS minions handle the new league mechanic? is it better to just run totems?

[deft girder]

My ranking is too low to hold all of them on me since they die quickly.

[deft girder]

Nice

[hasty perch]

guys when one of the unique is from defeating x tribe in the trials , does that mean beating them in the final round and winning the tournament against them or its in any round and can just happen to be a prize for the specific team?

[pine shell]

after winning a tournament, some of the warrior become available to fight for us right from the start in the next tournament , now is this permanent for all future tournament or if I lose any tournament I lose all these permanent warriors

[dusty cosmos]

it's final reward option afaik. so if you want a specific tribe associated unique, don't fight them until the end if you can. then if you still have an available loss (you get 1 per tourny) you can reroll the rewards if the unique isn't there

[violet nymph]

What is the odds of hitting a 21 vaal gem in the double korrupt tempel?

[teal pine]

Did they buff monsters this league? Seems like im getting one shot alot more

[hasty perch]

alright , thanks trying to get a few of them in ssf and was wondering about the optimal strat

[dusty cosmos]

speak of the devil...

[marsh musk]

fr man

I NEED the tasalio sword

[violet nymph]

hey! do POB take this type of modifier into account when calculating DPS for spark? cant seem to find anything in the config for it

[jaunty turtle]

im confused, should I be?

do I just click somewhere and go for it lol

[grizzled moon]

if its in the acts, skip it

[jaunty turtle]

yea I just got there

skip it is then

[onyx crystal]

Someone knows xp set ?

[patent ridge]

Who thought giving random mobs 100% overwhelm was okay? Even with 34% of phys taken as fire im getting one tapped alot at rank 413

[past spire]

am i supposed to solo 1vs 16 the final round? xD

hm i just thought we can do them in multiplayer

[crystal kelp]

are brand builds still good on witch or was that nerfed

like me some dot

i like them because i can focus on movement and not have to aim

[fluid warren]

I dont understand this league at all... i kill them they just respawn, kill me and i lose

i die i cant respawn thats so fucking 1 sided

[torpid turtle]

there are alot of fucky under the covers mechanics going on that definitely need tuning.

[hot bobcat]

anyone knows if its worth anything? no one sells it

[cloud mantle]

i got this amulett and im playing rf.. can anyone tell me how to continue crafting this? is there a way to get damage over time multi on it?

maybe life or res

[bold spade]

I think awakened is kinda broken rn

[valid isle]

let me know if you get an arc +1 chain blizzard crown

i have noticed that if you stay on defense and can manage to kill their attackers, flankers, chief, and escorts by yourself that nothing gets done because they die and respawn and kill your attackers.

you actually need to either go in on their side and kill them there OR pull them away and tank them without killing them somewhere so they dont respawn.

its weird that the method to winning tends to be exploit the AI rather than win by numbers but it is GGG's first attempt at this so ill give them a pass

[wooden nexus]

yo can someone help me price this item?

[valid isle]

yeah, that die beam guy can get fucked. no visual cue and it cross map/off screens you lol

[vocal mason]

Does anyone know off the top of their head how often they change the core supporter packs

[valid isle]

a few of the units do some pretty crazy damage, mostly the fire ravager and the goliath of the night i think

i never did figure out what is laser beaming me, but i dont like them either

[sharp plinth]

Hey guys

[valid isle]

i know the goliath is one hitting me through 50k armor and 5k life/2k es

[sharp plinth]

So, I’m doing expeditions, the remnant says the monster overwhelms physical damage reduction

Does that mean I die if I get hit physically?

[patent ridge]

Goliath ignores all armor

[sharp plinth]

Overwhelms by 100 percent

[valid isle]

i had this feeling

[sharp plinth]

I’m just wondering how bad is this modufier

Modifier

[valid isle]

which means i only have 5% from a shield and 4% from chaos golem, so its still a 8k~ basic attack

[sharp plinth]

Like it shuts down tanky builds no?

[valid isle]

which is rough

[patent ridge]

Doesn't matter cause at rank 400+ they one shot me even with 34% physical damage taken as ele and 5k life

[valid isle]

yep

the ravager's fire damage is just as bad too

78% resistance means its hitting for like 40k or something

[patent ridge]

I just pray for my block to work

[sharp plinth]

Yeah @abstract cipher I was thinking the same

So I suppose only evasion would save you then

[valid isle]

it appears the winning strat currently

[sharp plinth]

Evasion?

Oh block

[valid isle]

is vaal summon skeletons + chance to flee + knock back + other movement disruption stuff

you dont even fight, you just literally annoy

[patent ridge]

I have 50/50 block atm it's the only thing saving me other than kiting for my life

[valid isle]

and it lets you take out their totems without fighting

yeah, i think i made it to 250~ before i gave up on trying to do damage

[patent ridge]

It's easier duo

My buddy defends and I just go and speed run totem

Loot is still ass sadly

[valid isle]

i dont think our side has as much hp scaling as the enemy side does though

i have seen a lot of totem units die in one hit from my side but not play out when revsered.

i assume it has to deal mostly with unique mob perks from their side.

[maiden anvil]

Wait you can duo this?!

Oh blight strats here we go. EZ

[little moat]

https://i.imgur.com/UqftpnV.jpeg thanks chris

[hollow nebula]

Well i'm obviously too stupid to use impending doom and vixen's together

my shit still takes 2 casts

[fair aspen]

gg team. I held the floor down for you

[patent ridge]

This is pretty common for me now lmao. I just perma die and my team somehow carries

I'd say like a 1/10 chance

[crisp beacon]

I'm playing on controller and can't channel the totems for some reason

[waxen sparrow]

is getting tomes for sanctum a rare thing? i'm playing tons of maps and i still haven't dropped 1

am i missing something?

idk if it matters but the ! on her head in act 10 is still there

but i did the run

[deft girder]

Bacon

[swift harbor]

Is there any reason why the gift of goddess is pricey?

[deft girder]

Won the tourny with bacon team.

[sharp plinth]

Hey all

[halcyon veldt]

Death's Guide is the worst npc

impossible to kill the totem untile very other totem is dead and you have overwhelming forces

[tepid relic]

You can get more the more you win

Yep, I did 4 tournament in a row that I win

Easy money

[vague geyser]

RNG is being godlike with the drops and satanic with the crafts to me

12k alt spam ftw

[tepid relic]

Dayum

Yeah I got like 9c in one tournament

4c and a card

[unreal tide]

1st time playing poe but from what i see. people usually rush play 4-5days get bis items and then quit for 3months wait next league repeat again?

[tawdry plover]

Depends on the player

[hardy mica]

It's the meme, but plenty of people stick around and play at least a few good weeks, if not most of the league

[gritty monolith]

Real

[clever coral]

Deadeye or Raider LA build for beginner(my second league)?

[tawdry plover]

Deadeye is very much more a bow experience imo

[agile cedar]

league mechanic any fun? trying to decide if i should skip this season or not

[dusty cosmos]

it's ok but very basic

you can absolutely trivialize it with a 2div build that hasn't even killed kitava

tattoo's give a lot of power though and the uniques are pretty creative. new supports also add a fun mix

[mellow flower]

Oh. Vaal Temple doesn't give any passive tree points this league. Waste of Kirac mission RIP.

[valid isle]

"Reduced the range of which Storm Conduit can use their Lightning Beam."

YAY lol

[low fiber]

Has the increased token per match been implemented yet

[elfin shell]

should be

[proven cosmos]

Im missing NPC' on the Halls of the Dead.. anybody knows how you are supposed to get them?

i have 9 but i see 12 on some youtube videos

[tawdry plover]

I didn't pay complete attention but the last npc showed up after I finished the campaign

[proven cosmos]

im on red maps. XD

[tawdry plover]

XD

[covert merlin]

i think theyre in act 10 town

maybe

[proven cosmos]

ill go check all cities..

[covert merlin]

can you not right click a coin

[tawdry plover]

Did you do all passive points

[proven cosmos]

i believe so

i swear if they are on the Karui shores... XD

hmm.. nope

[tawdry plover]

Someone suggested to me that they may be tied to killing the unique in the campaign. The kitava clan leader is Utula for example

[proven cosmos]

Found them... they were from Nikos and Einhar missions..
You have to do the first delve one and the first menagerie mission.

[tawdry plover]

Very weird as I haven't done delve

[hasty perch]

holy the patch is BIG

[past spire]

anyone can help me with a challenge ? have to do final round without any soldier ( it will also count for you)

[sullen igloo]

Why rewards for ancestor trial are so weak?

[past spire]

they are better now, i get 6 to 8c stacks sometimes

[sullen igloo]

What rank you are, may i ask?

[past spire]

250 its not high

[sullen igloo]

I am on 180 something, i seen just one single c as reward, tons of other currency, fun to do trials with friends, but rewards could be equally to players participating in trial

Hard to split 1 jeweller orb on two players

[past spire]

ye just try to split when you stop doing them but in multi its fun

[sullen igloo]

Do you have any tactic you use in your trials?

[queen zodiac]

i have no idea if any gggm reads here, but tyvm for the league event changes, i was having a hard time to even win 2 times, just won a tourment with the current changes, you're all amazing

[past spire]

nah i usually buy walls boys then put random soldiers everywhere

ye good rewards now

[queen zodiac]

my ranking is 56, i have no idea if this is good

but i'm just happy to have won

[past spire]

i like this game mode a lot lol

wish i could gain some good exp here

[queen zodiac]

i even got 6 chaos on the tourment

i'm geting around 20% per fight here

at lvl 42

no idea if its still good on endgame

[sullen igloo]

As you can see you can win over 8c

[queen zodiac]

and how much is on average a 6s tabula worth atm?

i need one for my RF season build

[sullen igloo]

10-15c

[queen zodiac]

oh, almost on it then

i won some 'orbs of biding' too, had no idea a item like this existed

seens really good too

[idle coral]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/15zgs3n/you_can_rip_while_selecting_your_reward_event/

oh no

[crystal plover]

whats the max number of warriors for TOTA?

[tawdry plover]

16? 4 positions with 4 slots each

[crystal plover]

ahhh kk ty

[sullen igloo]

I seen on yt guy with rank 1000+ and he has reward 5c max 🤣🤣 rest just rubbish

Dunno what is max rank

[tawdry plover]

I heard 2000

[sullen igloo]

According to my little knowledge you would find more c and better loot doing atlas, than wasting time in ancestor trial, change my mind

It has nice mechanics of tower defense tho

[tawdry plover]

Probably depends on what level of mapping you are at, how quick you can do a trial, success rate and rng too

Have seen more divines in trials than maps but thats not everyone's experience

[sullen igloo]

Looks like is completly random

That is why we love this game

[tawdry plover]

Yep, and I'm only 300 rank

[sullen igloo]

Wait did you just said you seen few divines at rank 300?

[abstract pulsar]

just failed a run for a +1 proj tattoo

fuck this bullshit game

[sullen igloo]

I got you bruh

[tawdry plover]

On my way to 300 yeah

[sullen igloo]

So its worth it to grind

[tawdry plover]

I've seen others much higher not find much

[sullen igloo]

I am on tier 7 maps and havent seen any sing divine

[tawdry plover]

I've seen 1 and I'm done the atlas and 4 boss invites farmed

Everyone finds luck in different places

[sullen igloo]

I dont have luck in real life

[covert mulch]

What's the best starter build for someone with 0 hours

[past spire]

probably RF , arc witch you are too squishy to forgive mistakes, rf you are just unkillable and its easy to play

[honest thicket]

i knew i would get a jewel

time to open it then

[past spire]

https://www.pohx.net/ here you can choose either RF jugg(juggernaut) or rf inquisitor on the left side.
you need to install path of building community : https://pathofbuilding.community/

[honest thicket]

garbage

i dont know anyone who would use both vitality and clarity with those 2 mods

[covert mulch]

@past spire thank you

[queen zodiac]

i use vit for the RF build

[honest thicket]

both vitality and clarity

i clearly said BOTH

[queen zodiac]

but you dont need to use all of em, just ignore the clari and ice ones

[lone parrot]

my god the rewards rlly are different now

holy shit xd

[hasty perch]

Yeah first tournament win of the patch i got a sanctum book and the uniqur trial belt

I wonder if its worth going 550+ or just get a gigadps character and speedrun 200/300

[lone parrot]

whats at 550+ rank?

[hasty perch]

Apparently a looy breakpoint

Loot

But that was prepatch so idk atm

Getting 5-10c in 30 sec sounds good too

[lone parrot]

yeah its rlly good

and with players, the rewards increase because there is a chance you get an additional reward

you can make some mad money off this

[hasty perch]

Yeah

I saw on poedb rhe uniques can drop at pretty low level

Like 50-60

[lone parrot]

[hasty perch]

Maybe i should get a high dps build and lose on purpose fielding no units round 1 2

Just to get a ton of tournament wins fast

[lone parrot]

honestly you can just kite the enemies around

if you dont have dps

but high def

just let the AI do their thing

[hasty perch]

Yeah but if you one tap the mobs you can full rush on the totems

[lone parrot]

oh yea

true

[hasty perch]

I need to check the loot at rank 60-70

I really want that chest and sword

[lone parrot]

the reverse ele sword?

[hasty perch]

Yeah

But mainly the chest

[steel tree]

if they only could fix the AI on the enemy team thaty would be nice thanks ❤️

[queen zodiac]

its there any + range gem skill, for linking with RF?

[past spire]

any tips for "Hinekora's Harrowing Hall" dont die at rank 300+ ? they oneshot 😄

[plucky jewel]

is it better to throw a fight to refresh the rewards screen?

im in a round 4 with shit rewards post patch

[next mesa]

how does rewards works in party play in halls? any one know? some time its gives rewards sometime its not(to a second buddy), is that a bug? or?

[past spire]

not sure , tried with 2/3/4 and sometimes 2 sometimes 3 or 4 , its random

[lofty pulsar]

grab a weapon swap with decoy totem, vaal summon skeletons, spectres, stone golem, spam them around your totems then hang way back, popping in to refresh minions. It should gum up the enemy so your team can win.

[past spire]

it works even if i dont have any tree with minions and such?

[lofty pulsar]

they'll need to be levelled gems, and knockback is very helpful on them, but it should work (depending how far past 300 you are)

[past spire]

i just reached 300 so wanted to do this early while i dont get oneshotted by regular enemies, i already have kb and chance to flee lvl 20 , will try your tactic ty + , i was thinking about adding chance to blind because if they miss i dont get hit

[lofty pulsar]

that's also a good call. I think there's still an element of luck to it - I've yet to really see a way to dodge the offscreen laser

[zinc shoal]

What is the best guard skill that mitigate damage rather than absorb it?

[past spire]

the frost thing when you dont move

arctic armor

[zinc shoal]

Aint it’s only for fire and physical

[past spire]

ah right

[strong quiver]

why the hell is a bloodbound warrior taking me out in 3 hits then ignores attacks while draining my totems?

the patch feels like it buffed the enemies

[past spire]

im seeing this much more now at r300, they ignore my attacks and keep channeling

[royal narwhal]

So I have 200 silver coins, not yet done league mechanic, any tips before I start? And is there a way to price check tattoo's ?

[strong quiver]

https://poe.ninja/economy/ancestor/tattoos

[royal narwhal]

Ohh, thx!

[past spire]

one tip is always put soldiers at flankers and attack roles first, you can defend yourself while they attack

[royal narwhal]

Gotcha, thx 🙂 will be fun to try this out

[royal abyss]

The ranking, is it better to be lower or higher?

[past spire]

at 300 or 400 u get better rewards

[royal abyss]

does it always go up by 10-20?

[past spire]

never saw more than 20 at 286 ranking and lower, no idea if they can go higher

[zinc shoal]

What even is the point of a scorching ray having extra beam length from its quality why not some thing useful instead like beam width?

[past spire]

you can check gem alternative quality, anomalous and divergent

cast speed sounds better 😄

[mental hamlet]

is GGG aware of desecrate/DD is bricked in league meachnic? I SSFd a DD build and cant do league 😦

[past spire]

apparently the area is lvl 1 so the desacrate corpses are also lvl 1

not sure how they can scale this, this is available for all lvl so they cant put it at lvl 83 from the start

[zinc shoal]

Still doesn’t make the regular quality less useless

[past spire]

yep some items have not good regular qualities

[zinc shoal]

Yeah there’s difference between not good is just useless lol

[hasty perch]

use GMP with unearth it uses gem based corpse level i believe

[solemn bronze]

what are thse onetapps

like spearmasters in league 1 tap what, 90% phys reduction with conversion an

[lofty pulsar]

yeah past a certain level (300 or so depending on your tankiness) it seems like most attacks will oneshot you. (hello goliath auto-attacks)

[rigid stream]

Goliath oneshots you because of overwhelm

[stoic sail]

Kahuturoa is defeatable now, great patch.
Still room for improvement, obviously, but it got better

[nova lintel]

gawk damn. from strongbox

[feral sleet]

do enemy ancestor totems have multiple health bars ?

[rigid stream]

Sometimes. Some Units or items can give extra lifes

[manic hazel]

Is the league mechanic sick now? Or these reddit posts are bait

[lofty pulsar]

It depends what you did(n't) like about it before

[manic hazel]

I like it. Im talking about the rewards

I think they buffed them?

[lofty pulsar]

aah right yeah, from the patch notes:

• Improved the scaling of rewards offered for higher rankings. Non-final matches now have a chance to offer rewards that can usually only be offered for the final match. The chance of this occurring slightly increases as the Tournament progresses, and also increases with your ranking.
• The chance to be offered some of the more valuable reward outcomes has been increased.
• Increased the stack size and stack size variance of Currency and Scarabs offered as rewards.
• Divination Card rewards now have varying stack sizes, and the cards offered now improve as the rounds progress.
• You can now be offered 3-5 of a random Tattoo from the relevant Tribe as a reward for the final match in a Tournament.

[manic hazel]

Pog, time to burn all the coins

[flat ledge]

you can remove tattoos right?

[hasty perch]

yeah

wondering if i should make a character just to farm utula's armor in ssf

there's ilvl53 versions in trade

with a level 70-80 high dps dude and full screen aoe you can probs clear the trials in 20 seconds

and lose on purpose the round after to stay at level 53

[fringe arch]

Tawhamaku

Is so overtuned

I'm going to go insane

Absolutely miserable fight

[rigid scaffold]

Little rant because it's pissing me off: The entire point of the fucking autochess genre is relative parity between participants regarding income and unit access (although often RNG based), the fact that your minions are useless and theirs are OP, and you get LESS units because a win 1/2 the time doesn't even give you enough fucking favor for another unit except the Navali units is infuriating. '

You have to be overwhelmingly powerful for the tier you are on, or have a gimmick that works well for the mechanic, or you can't make any progress after the first couple rounds bc your guys get overwhelmed and you can't be on the entire map 100% of the time

[hasty perch]

skill issue

[rigid scaffold]

it's a fun mechanic but I just dump my run in the last couple rounds bc it's not fun fighting slogs where you can't even fill up all your slots and you have to spend 10-15 minutes just killing mobs to channel your goddamn self because allies are goddamn useless

[hasty perch]

you can use warcry and decoy totems to take agro and make them run aimlessly after you

while your flankers win

[lofty pulsar]

the only ones I'd say you actually need to try and kill are the thunderbirds and the stealth tuaturas, everything else you can just play keep-away with. Also, tidecallers and spear dancers are amazing in defence

[rigid scaffold]

I will try decoy totems, but trying to do that w/ Enduring Cry hasn't even been close to enough.

[lofty pulsar]

Vaal summon skeletons is good for just bodyblocking as well

[hasty perch]

i unironically swapped lifetap for knockback on EA

for trials

losing 20% damage sucks but having 7 totems with knockback send the boss back to the dark ages where they belong is fun

i'd love rain of splinter tho

[lofty pulsar]

does knockback have any effect on the walls the fieldmasters put down?

[hasty perch]

im considering rolling a champion with tornado shot ballistas to taunt the whole area

idk didnt check

also elementalist with shaper of winter sounds very good

40% slow with temporal chain on top doesnt care about scaling

[fringe arch]

This yeah

Only way I won Tawhamaku

Is by dropping Vaal Skeletons on my totem

Letting her try killing them

And running over to her side to destroy her totems

That doesn't really work if they have any defends

But it's honest work

[fringe arch]

Yeaaahhhhh

[hasty perch]

the issue is that it cant be pure autochess either

[fringe arch]

They can't make the mechanic work independently off your loot/level because that would go against the whole point of ARPGs but that just works against the auto battler system

[hasty perch]

because you're against an AI bound to make predictable choices and you cant gate rewards behind non PoE stuff

[fringe arch]

exactly

[hasty perch]

I find it pretty interesting with the scaling kind of pushing people into making weird builds

[fringe arch]

Plus I'm just a new player whose not even started his first tier 5 map yet but I don't really like stuff that forces you to go to a specific area to queue for a specific task

Like Harvest/Heist and now Halls of the Dead

[hasty perch]

i like it a lot

because its based on coins

[fringe arch]

I like heist because it gives you a lot of loot at the same time

[hasty perch]

you can store them and wait until you want to run it

this gives a lot more than heist now

ngl

[fringe arch]

That is fair, you can just bulk sell them

[hasty perch]

on 200 rank only its like 5 to 10c reward per round in the first rounds

if you can do it remotely fast thats insane bubble gum currency

[serene roost]

Think corrupting fever reap champ would do good this league mechanic?

[hasty perch]

nah

i mean what do you apply

corrupting with

if its got enough aoe with champ taunt its good

but reap is not killing the bosses most likely

[fringe arch]

Unrelated but thank god heist has it's own locker box

[hasty perch]

yeah

last league i had so much contracts from heist kirac mod i ran out of space with 65 spots in each type of contract

cant imagine without a locker

[viral prairie]

I discovered that the loyalty tattoos that trigger when you are nearby a unique enemy, can also trigger on rares, if that rare is "touched" by a unique boss (innocence touched, arakali touched)

Just thought someone might find that interesting

[strong quiver]

is the titanic shell turtle supposed to ignore damage when its destroying totems?

[shadow locust]

Is league mechanic worth doing now that its patched?

[hasty perch]

its broken now

[austere whale]

Its insanely good

Only no xp is my issue

If it gave xp Id never leave

Can it reward maps btw? I havent got any so far

[lofty pulsar]

I haven't seen any either

[hybrid valve]

Hey one question im starting again with poe this league afters years of absence and am not decided on a starter yet. Cold dot or lightning arrow? Or would you recommend something completely different?

[lofty pulsar]

Cold dot is a very nice league starter and will be very easy to get back up and into maps with. it might not be great at higher ranks of the trials (new mechanic this league) due to lack of hitting, but someone who's played it to higher ranks of the trials would be better able to tell you about that

[shadow locust]

tried a bit but it just didnt feel that good
am RF btw if that matters

took a l o n g time for like 20c

matches just got exponentionally longer as time goes on

[lofty pulsar]

yeah RF seems like it would be just about the worst build for the league mechanic

[shadow locust]

culminating in a final that took like 10 minutes for 2c reward

[shadow locust]

so uh
hoard silvercoins on the offchance i reroll?

[lofty pulsar]

or sell them, they've shot up to like 2:1c now

[dawn hound]

quick question if I have vixen + tabula rasa can I go to Inpeding doom at the end of campaing or I need more skill points?

[shadow locust]

RF is great, just really bad for the league mechanic
that being said
you can basically make your own league mechanic with the atlas tree nowadays, so you can load up your maps with stuff RF's good at and ignore the autobattler/sell the silver coins you find

[past spire]

is it possible to force spawn a breachlord with any mech /sextant / scarab for the challenge ' kill breachlord while affected by shrine' ?

ah i saw an atlas node with 4% chance so it should be enough i guess

[lofty pulsar]

Do the gulls mini-shrines count? might be an easy way to sort-of-cheese it (unless you helmet is build defining)

[shadow locust]

is that why gull is 5c this league?

[past spire]

havent tried with gull good idea, but with atlas shrine + map crafting i dont have much issue, shrines last for 1 minute i i could simply stop dpsing if its delirium and such, but not for breach :p

[runic zephyr]

are the Omens actually the most pointless rewards ever? who the hell would ever pick such a stupid thing like "shrine on level up ONCE"..? i can MAYBE see something like insta flask refill on 25% hp be useful in hardcore... MAYBE...

[past spire]

some give 6 link or 6 sockets but ye the majority is not good

[austere whale]

Some omens are good

Most meh

[lofty pulsar]

most are meh but there's a few nice ones. the one that gives 300% of lost xp to gems on death is nice for levelling enlighten and awakened gems and stuff

[edgy nimbus]

any controller players know how to destroy/channel totems in the new league mechanic?

[past spire]

god gamer it works ty a lot, will be much much easier 🙂

[jade rapids]

How are the new 'buffed" rewards?

[past spire]

really good, between 16 to 20 of every currencies now

[jade rapids]

What content is RF good at? I'm currently RF and I specced my tree for strongboxes and harbingers

Oh that's nice

Might have to make another character that's specifically meant for league mechanic

[feral sleet]

holy shit ill never take off chromatic orbs off my filter since chris has a hard on for wasting my time buying them off trade is impossible even when offering 100c to buy out there whole inventory .

do i need to spend multiple divines

to get some chromatics

[past spire]

you can do Toxic sewer/waste pool, channel/waterways as RF, but league content like sanctum is a no go because you must not get hit
also legion and blight will be difficult too , but you can do breach, harbinger ritual and the rest without issue

the secret is to buy jeweller orbs and convert at npc 😄

[feral sleet]

wrist damage game difficulty

[jade rapids]

Lmao yeah I tried sanctum for the first time and thought it was bullshit

[past spire]

me too , first league i dont play totem and its perfect for totem builds :/

[tribal vortex]

GAMER VICTOR!!! ✊

The semi-final was tenser than the final, honestly.

[jade rapids]

Noice

I wonder if knockback totems would be good for this mechanic

Essentially a taunt+keeping enemies away

[tribal vortex]

I've yet to play around with the totems.
I just buy mercs and spam them. 😄

Oh, I forgot, the grand prize is 12C. 😄

🤣 Kiloava, "Congratulations on beating an old man."

[past spire]

someone said the best build earlier in disc : (and also someone did 2000 rating with something similar ) :
decoy totem, vaal summon skeletons, spectres, stone golem, spam them around your totems then hang way back, popping in to refresh minions. It should gum up the enemy so your team can win.

[hybrid valve]

So rather cold dot than lightning arrow or both viable?

[jade rapids]

Makes sense

[past spire]

will try that tonight, im curious how it will work out, will also add blind on hit with kinetic blast to help them survive

[tribal vortex]

Feels right. I am winning because I have 30 odd minions.

[past spire]

ye it sound fun with minions 😄

i just hope you dont have to resummon your specters each time they die :/

[tribal vortex]

My own minions. Based off of your post, I should add some totem minions. 😄

Ah, no. You don't.

I died several times.

[past spire]

oh thats cool

[tribal vortex]

My spectres and zombies were fine.

Which is a good thing, because I replaced a dex node with 5% chance to blind and now, I can't use desecrate. 😛

[past spire]

ther is an answer for that also, give me a sec

[tribal vortex]

I CAN delevel the gem once and use it, but I am lazy. 😄

[crystal kelp]

Is there any good league starts similar to ritchous fire for scion or witch

[past spire]

use GMP with unearth skill , it uses gem based corpse level

still annoying i agree 😄

[tribal vortex]

Oh yes, unearth. You're right.
I didn't try it because it spawns 1 corpse, but with GMP...

[past spire]

it sounds gore on paper never tried this skill lol

[tribal vortex]

GGG should just create a corpse mound near the well, for all minion summoners.

QOL ftw! ✊

I think there was that unique flask that created two worms, which you could kill to make corpses - The Writhing Jar.

[lofty pulsar]

from memory the writing jar is weirdly rare

[runic zephyr]

is there no way to know how long it takes to respawn? that is super super annoying

just staring at your totems going down without knowing when youre back

[tribal vortex]

Shh, don't tell the rest of Discord, but it's being traded for just 1C now.

[past spire]

next patch will add a timer for sure

[unborn bramble]

What are the best builds for the league mechanic ?

[runic zephyr]

how are you supposed to know how to build your board - like, this unit, is it ranged? melee? how tanky is it?

[past spire]

they are all more or less tanky, you can put anyone in front lane or defense, but for the flanking role, 'mobile' unit are better, althought they have less hp than the rest
for escort those are units that follows you, so try to get units taht give buffs or debuff to enemies

i did a stupid strat that got me to rank 300 by buying only the dude that create walls at kahuturoa ( bot left ) and it worked well

[runic zephyr]

yea i understood that much, but e.g. there are items like +proj or vines on hit. would be kinda good to know if a unit even has projectiles lmao

[past spire]

ya you have to figure it out yourself but i never bothered with accessories for now 😄

[runic zephyr]

some units say "throws cold spells from far" but this one for example says nothing about it. i dont even know if this unit attacks at all? are there pure support units?

[halcyon stag]

is rank character based or account wide?

[dusty cosmos]

yes, they are absolutely broken for this mechanic

i start trials @ lvl 69 without killing kitava and am now rank 515 without losing a tournament once

peak build

[austere whale]

so I should just log out when the match starts if I want to reset the rewards?

or how does it work?

[dusty cosmos]

you can take your units off the field

[strong quiver]

why are goliaths of night one shotting me?

[small robin]

any 1 got non channeling -7 manacost?

[past spire]

unhetical gamer, but how do you survive hits?

[dusty cosmos]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UnTRFdcSh4 like this

(just don't get hit)

[past spire]

wtf thats 2000 iq

[tribal vortex]

Buy rocket launchers and stand back. Let 'em rip. 😄

[austere whale]

what's going on literally all the totems are undestroyable with molten shell

[strong quiver]

its a buff from a field item

[past spire]

its a giant turtle boy

[past spire]

so it does work for rank 300+? will give it a try , i have to do a tournament without dying but even with 150k ehp i get oneshot

[austere whale]

okay what do I do not to get that?

[dusty cosmos]

yep. i got the no death tournament achievment when i hit rank 400

[past spire]

you have to eliminate the dude that have them early , i think its ikiaho arahongui tribe

[violet nymph]

pain

[tribal vortex]

Those giant turtles are tanky.

[violet nymph]

ikiahao is the worst

one shot ice meteor off screen

everytime

[past spire]

how do i unlock relic slot for sanctum? never done this league

[rough dagger]

Thats old league, but you kill the bosses in the sanctum i think

[past spire]

ok ty

[dusty cosmos]

no sanctified relics this league

[past spire]

i dont like this content at all , it feel like i only works for certain builds or if u can oneshot all :/ i play mapper so my ST damage is shit

[runic zephyr]

how long is the base respawn timer even? i got oneshot and just couldnt do anything for like 20 seconds, insta loss

[violet nymph]

if you have spirit containement debuff

you cant respawn

[runic zephyr]

no debuff, it seems to just be really long even on the first death

[austere whale]

why do totems keep healing back to full every time I cap them?

[past spire]

can i equip more than 1 relic with the same effects for sanctum

[runic zephyr]

wait even if you dont win you still rank up? the mechanic feels like shit suddenly, way too hard and it just keeps getting harder?

[past spire]

you can lose twice per tournament , if you lose that way you lose ranking points , but you gain rankings points up to 2000 maximum

[runic zephyr]

i see people doing 900 something and i just got past 200 and can barely kill white monsters while my team just falls over... guess ill just have to stop doing a fun mechanic until i get more damage lol

[past spire]

tbh the difficulty doesnt really feel harder with each rank, the enemies only have more hp and damage, but you can rely on allies to kill the enemy team

im at 315 atm and my ST dps is around 2,5m , its really shit but if you defend , or rush to their base and hit a few totems here and there and come back it works

im sure you can afk until rank 1k+ by just defending and letting your team do the job

the first person that reached 1k had those stats :
https://pobb.in/vGbitjaUGYBP

so even defense is irrelevant here ( if you avoid stuff ofcourse) ^^

[runic zephyr]

i did only defend but havent seen my flankers kill a single totem while i was getting overrun and getting oneshot by some falling stone skill if i stand still... im still on random rare gear from white maps but really stupid that i cant just keep playing without scaling difficulty...

[past spire]

ye it doeesnt make sense i agree . they should give us a menu for 1-50 rank, 50-100 etc not this forever scaling

[sullen igloo]

eh i cant win single match

starting with bad warriors all the time, just basics, enemy tribes always have so strong minions

what i do wrong

[runic zephyr]

you mean you cant win the first round?

[sullen igloo]

yep i am 150 rank

[undone kestrel]

Could someone explain this requirement of having "7 adjacent passive skills allocated" as if I was a dumb child?

Haven't done the League Mechanic yet, but this seems VERY appealing.

[undone kestrel]

Gee, might not work on my tree then

Thanks mate

[violet nymph]

Hey is impending doom bugged again ?

i mean , sometimes i cant do damages with it and sometimes i one tap all the map

[runic zephyr]

its not bugged, check your castspeed mayb

[violet nymph]

Idk how to check it

kinda new to the game

[pale hemlock]

Are there any other spot?

[violet nymph]

I found it

[runic zephyr]

yea a lot, just gotta use your eyes i guess

[pale hemlock]

Can you convert int/str small node to dex then place tattoo?

[violet nymph]

There is no solution to it ?

[runic zephyr]

if your ID sometimes doesnt onetap it can be castspeed, assuming of course you checked map mods etc., there is a cheatsheet somewhere on the subreddit

[violet nymph]

Nah its not the problem

It dont do damge

Like 0 damage

even if i spam it

wait i'll send a gif

It legit doesnt work

[kindred shell]

I saw the health bar going down a little lol

[warped trellis]

How does Quill Rain help in Ziz most recent vid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DE8exBO8aQ
I don't understand why the gloves alone arent enough

[runic zephyr]

my dude

you have no ES to cast

so youre not casting the vixen spells since you only have mana for temp chains

[violet nymph]

So what can i do to fix that ?

[warped trellis]

what even are the links he is using?

[runic zephyr]

was that a map with less recovery mod?

[violet nymph]

Lemme retry a 5th map

[pale hemlock]

Did they patch trials of ancestor mechanic?

[violet nymph]

k it works

[cedar halo]

Literally first round

[violet nymph]

prolly less recovery

[dusty cosmos]

high attack speed, high projectile speed

[pale hemlock]

So rewards are good now?

[dusty cosmos]

rewards are nuts

[runic zephyr]

yea, frequently getting stacks of 7-10c for first rounds, one div so far aswell

[violet nymph]

Ok , when i use Malevolence , i cant dps

: D

It uses all my mana + shield

[warped trellis]

what are the gem links do you know? what is the knockback source?

[cedar halo]

rewards are insane, wouldn't be surprised if they revert it tomorrow

[pale hemlock]

When do rewards start getting gud? Rank 400+?

[dusty cosmos]

tornado shot, knockback, gmp, lmp, ballista totems, chance to flee or aspd

they scale well early

but at 450-550 i'm averaging 1div+ / tournament

raw currency *

[warped trellis]

he has a 4 link i think, so TS, knockback, ballista totem are mandatory, then GMP I guess?

[warped trellis]

thats crazy

[dusty cosmos]

here's 5 runs

i'm not a fan of reverse knockback. regular knockback is king in my eyes

[warped trellis]

bro, what level are you in the mechanic?

[dusty cosmos]

550

[oak hearth]

wtf ??????????????

how mush time bro ?

[dusty cosmos]

1hr

[runic zephyr]

wait you got a 4 stack of sacred orbs?

[oak hearth]

wtffffffffffffff

[runic zephyr]

those are like above divine rare?

[dusty cosmos]

ya LOL that was unexpected

[oak hearth]

im comming bro

[runic zephyr]

wish i could spam more runs but it got so difficult that i cant defend anymore :(

[dusty cosmos]

i started doing trials @ lvl 69 because memes

and haven't lost a tournament

[warped trellis]

Ziz start doesnt work at all for me, they dont all get suck in by the totems, theres always some that attack me. I must be missing something.

[dusty cosmos]

you want 100% knockback chance

and probably to take the nodes by Fending

[warped trellis]

Ah thats it. so the gem at 20/20 has like 54% chance of knockback.

[dusty cosmos]

yep. i imagine ziz is using a 6L with his tabula

[warped trellis]

As TS and ballista support is in there

[dusty cosmos]

he runs greater volley, GMP, and lifetap

[warped trellis]

Too far away, deadeye. I can annoint fending tho and pick up the proj mastery knockback on crit

[dusty cosmos]

well, there's also a small cluster jewel which gives you 100% knockback

the siege

[fallen terrace]

what do i gotta do to not have to babysit my totems from flankers

[dusty cosmos]

you just burn their totems faster

the name of the game is speed

[warped trellis]

hmmm https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/vyZbOKBCE

[dusty cosmos]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/BKLDovQT8

[hasty perch]

Does taunt have any use in ziz's tech?

I wonder if i could slap quill rain reverse KB on elementalist ea

[dusty cosmos]

you could. there's ways to get taunt on medium projectile clusters

i'm doing it with deadeye, i find it the best all around defensively/offensively

[hasty perch]

Got a glad bleed bow that could respec to it in like 70 regrets

[warped trellis]

TBH even with 100% knockback chance I dont find this strat super effective ..... your ballistas will never catch all enemies. its better to just kill them as usual.
It's a bit bait.

[hasty perch]

You cant kill them after a certain rank

Not solo at least

[pale hemlock]

Shockwave totem EZ league mechanics and sanctum farm.

[dusty cosmos]

i'm doing 550 rank entire tournaments in ~10mins, not sure "bait" is what i would call it

[native copper]

that game is so overwhelming as a noob, but i realized i missed smth not playing that game..

[pale hemlock]

Noobs need to learn game dont need to be rushed. Just play at you own pace.

[hasty perch]

I think elementalist chill with 40% base chill temporal chain on hit gloves and some gmp ensnaring arrow could also prank the trials

Btw i tried and they walk on converting trap and ignore them

Sadge

[dusty cosmos]

🙂 that's basically my build, minus chill

[warped trellis]

so bait, It's trash. Mobs can still attack you with projectiles they dont care to be in cc range. They also can attack your ballista and just down them in 2sec.

[hasty perch]

I mean steelmage and ziz are using it live on twitch

I think they would have stopped by now if it didnt work

[dusty cosmos]

@hasty perch the other thing to add, is use meginord's vise instead of empire's grasp

and divergent knockback

[hybrid fog]

how are u guys liking the league mechanic so far? personally my fave since expedition

hoping it goes core as is

[warped trellis]

So what's the "official" strat GGG intended at that point? Just have buffed mobs yourself? what is your char doing?

[hasty perch]

Your mobs also scale ggg probably intended for it to be doable until a certain rank in a legit way with good gear

Like delve

[crystal kelp]

What channel do i go to for advice on picking a league start build

[humble horizon]

I'd ask in #1┃general or #1┃new-player-in-campaign-help perhaps? personally I suggest Impending Doom Pathfinder

[somber bison]

Any suggestion for a Trial build?

[agile idol]

In rating 120 as a cf champ blasting red maps, enemy casters keep respawning in cycles as fast as I kill them and interrupt my channels offscreen. How do I deal with this, do I just play pure defense and wait for my Flankers to give us a number advantage?

[summer zinc]

Does anyone know if increasing the duration will also up how many enemies you can kill if you have Schism enabled on Legion encounters?

[warped trellis]

Okay so just just having 100% knockback helps a lot to distract enemies and just protect your minions. Just playing with regular LA/TS with a ballista 2nd link as usual. No need for any uniques.

[placid meadow]

Is there a list somewhere of which tribes I want for the last round?

[pine shell]

is there some list of all possible tribal enemies and their abilities in the tournament , I really need to know who is one shotting me , stopping my life regen , shooting big blue laser from off screen , making my warriors braindead so they just sit and watch

[humble horizon]

have any good guides been posted for the league mechanic?

[solar crescent]

So I am now rank 361, and INSTANTLY when the match starts enemies are on my totems... Like... The are spawning on top of them when the game starts. Wtf is going on?

[random matrix]

hey guys, why isnt vengeant cascade annoiting here?

[solar crescent]

BEcause the oils changed, you need to go to your tree and check the required oils

[random matrix]

wtf no shoooot

how do i find the recipe in the tree?

[solar crescent]

Hold alt while hovering the node I think

[random matrix]

i cant see the node OMEGALUL

and wait its shit now

omg

i cant believe it sadge

[runic zephyr]

"tribal passive" affects the entire board? or what

[teal geyser]

oh fuck ow panopticon is 2 gold

[fringe arch]

True suffering is watching the enemies minions always stop channeling just before you hit them so you literally cannot stun them and then dying and seeing your flankers literally just running up to the totem and channeling then dying

[pine shell]

our own warrior AI is shit

[woven compass]

You just gotta do a pep talk

To motivate em

[strong quiver]

will a knockback support gem work with rf?

[sly frigate]

why am i missing a halls of the dead trader? kitava dude is completely MIA

[zinc shoal]

Thanks ziz for ruining my secret build with your army of dumb sheeps

[jaunty turtle]

lads what do these icons next to the items mean?

[dusty cosmos]

no

[dusty cosmos]

fractured

[native copper]

Is there any super noob guide which covers all the possibilities in Poe ?

I am lvl 86 and just running maps and following some guide but got no idea what I am doing at all lol

[jaunty turtle]

me

[chrome galleon]

Can someone tell me what Shroud Walker unique does for the Ancestor league mechanic? Wondering I should be investing into the unique for the tournaments

[sly frigate]

zizaran has a poe academy series thats supposedly pretty nice

[undone fossil]

dunno is there way to make totem with that purple aura not to stun my flankers? they just go all in when they see one an keeps dying when i have to def

[shadow locust]

uuh
why are there just different archers in the halls of the dead

if using a bow is why hyrri isnt here?

[torpid turtle]

i can't wait for them to butcher kahuturoa. It's not okay he can do a screen wide slam that one shots you.

[past spire]

show pob plz 😄

[dusty cosmos]

https://pobb.in/--0N9XXp4AyY scuffed version. i moved some stuff around after this and am faster/tankier

[past spire]

not hard being 'tankier' ty for pob i will give it a shot on my champion without moving whole tree, maybe bow + kb gems are enough ?

[dusty cosmos]

only thing that matters is dodge/evasion/block 🙂

and movespeed

[past spire]

i have 150k ehp but still get onetap

[dusty cosmos]

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/findarhodge/characters?characterName=Findar_KnockedUp here's my current stuff

[past spire]

you kb them in which direction? toward right side or left?

[dusty cosmos]

i basically run to back and clear back to front

so left

[past spire]

wait you push them to your totems? they dont destroy them?N

[robust fjord]

Can the new mechanic kill my animate guardian?

[dusty cosmos]

yes

[dusty cosmos]

i use regular knockback, not reverse

and i push them offscreen almost instantly

[robust fjord]

i meant is it broken enough so it can actually kill him through all his defenses?

[dusty cosmos]

yes

[past spire]

regular so you push them frol right to left ??

[dusty cosmos]

yes

[past spire]

ahh gotcha ty

[formal vector]

Someone have some time to help with map rn ?

[tribal thistle]

just had a match where i fought 2 bosses at the same time, wtf?

[past spire]

if you are 2 players there is one boss per player

@formal vector what map

[tribal thistle]

im so strong i count as 2

[formal vector]

100 % deli will pay ofc

[past spire]

hard pass i struggle ST

[formal vector]

80 % was easy but this 100 % seems impossible to me tbh idk why

[past spire]

will try a scuffed version with no change in my gear except bow + gloves + temporal chain on hit on ring + quiver, will see if it works

o shit

[fallow sage]

Is there a way to see whether I died already in a tournament?

[lofty pulsar]

up near where it says the round there's a little red symbol next to it if you've lost once already

[fallow sage]

so is this fine?

[past spire]

yes if you already lost you would see this :

[fallow sage]

oh thanks

[candid basalt]

6khp, 45k armour, 20% dmg mitigation from summon, 75/75 block and got 1 shotted in ancestor. Shaper slam doesn’t even faze me like wtf 😂🤣

[delicate phoenix]

is there a challenge guide up for 3.22 yet?

[past spire]

not yet but some seems really tedious, i still dont know how to do sanctum and the 200 ritual bosses

[uneven ice]

Is there a way to lower the difficulty in tournaments? Or its always gonna be harder and harder

[candid basalt]

The higher your rank, the harder the tournament is. People are building knock back bow builds for this league. They cheese the tournaments. Freezing builds are also good

[uneven ice]

No like im talking about can i do lower rank tournament

Like farming 100 depths in delve when im at 300s

[candid basalt]

You lower your rank by losing. That’s as far as I know

I’m rank 230 and every slam one taps me

[uneven ice]

Im at 260 and like i cant do it anymore

[candid basalt]

Hopefully there’s a way to help us

Best thing to do for now is build for tournaments

Like sanctum builds

[uneven ice]

Idk this feels different than sanctum, i got 100 supress det grace running but getting one shotted

[candid basalt]

Bro I have 45k armour 20% dmg mit from sent 75/75 block and got one tapped lol. Ancestors are OP

All res 75 as well

[tribal thistle]

the phys guys have 30% phys reduction overwhelm

thats why they hit so hard

[candid basalt]

I’m more scared of them than uber bosses. My rank isn’t even that high at 230

[steady ivy]

do skills drop or can only buy from other players in ruthless?

[wary island]

please, please can we see how long we're dead for?

like sometimes i could go make a coffee before revive

fml

[flat owl]

make sure to not use hinekora's horn minion or your revive will be delayed

[mellow flower]

I just had 7 gems fail to corrupt into a lv 21 gem. Entire week has been wasted FML.

[gritty basin]

Has anyone found/made a guide to the Trial? Like BIS minions, or "fight this person first b/c they suck later" type stuff?

[undone fossil]

huh? why dont they delay enemy revive?

[gritty basin]

Also, do we know if the "sponsors" thing on the match screen is an indicator of how strong the enemy is going to be?

[gritty basin]

AFAIK if they're placed offensively they slow the enemy, but defensively they speed allies

[hot bobcat]

if i buy service to help maven will it be complete if i invite someone after starting fight?

i just lost 3 portals to maven so considering buying boost idk if it works that way

[flat owl]

theres a bug rn that can make them delay your revive instead

[undone fossil]

now that makes sense why sometimes my revive was so god damn long

dang this mechanic is so bugged

[solemn dagger]

Can someone please link me the trial of the ancestors cheat sheet?

The google doc

[whole owl]

Arent some "7 adjacent notable" tattoos bugged? cant apply them even with 7 adjacent notable, and PoB shows I can have those tattoos where I want them

[bold basalt]

finallz

no ifucking choked i didnt buy

lmaoooo

now thats funny

[ebon swallow]

I got a stupid question how do I get to the ancestors trial ?

It's not on my waypoint, and I have not noticed a new league NPC

[sonic stirrup]

Right click silver coin

As it tells you to do

[ebon swallow]

RE YOU KIDDING ME

[sonic stirrup]

lmao

[ebon swallow]

yeah im too fucking dumb to read apparently

[sonic stirrup]

It's ok

It's a known fact that poe players cannot read

[ebon swallow]

jesus, the same thing happend with Heist s well

[sonic stirrup]

You'd think you'd learn after the first lol

[ebon swallow]

nope

I was almost done with my atlas and I was starting to get bored mapping

well, thank you so much, I will pick them up form now on...

[sonic stirrup]

Bruh

[ebon swallow]

I think I got around 100 or so

[sonic stirrup]

Have you been leaving them on the floor

[ebon swallow]

yep

mostly

after 100, It became too tedious and simply left them there

[sonic stirrup]

You rich enough to not pick up chaos orbs?

[ebon swallow]

I pick chaos orbs

[sonic stirrup]

That's how much you can trade them for...

[ebon swallow]

well, thats convenient

jesus fuck

[sonic stirrup]

...

Dudeeee

[ebon swallow]

this is informative, infuriating and humiliating all at once

gawd damn

[sonic stirrup]

wheeze

[ebon swallow]

bruh, I must be the dumbest lvl 87 player

FML

[sonic stirrup]

It do be like that sometimes lol

[ebon swallow]

It really does

well I'm going to try and do some ancestors B.S

[sonic stirrup]

Good luck

[ebon swallow]

Thank you so much again

[sonic stirrup]

You're welcome

[ebon swallow]

im 88 now,... nevermind x.x

I right clicked.. and geuss what, the portal opened SMH

[real gust]

What's the strategy for this mechanic, I keep dying to it ;_;

[ebon swallow]

I have no idea im just trying it now

[static galleon]

ever since ancestor league, this game has been freezing up, a lot! is this issue been adressed ?

[golden marten]

I've noticed that some mechanic in TotA is almost entirely negating my life regen

With no debuff on my bar, no visible effect

my regen just goes from 1600 to 150. Is there a specific warrior that does this? I skimmed poedb and saw nothing. It also happens with various tribes

[static galleon]

Did you check the items they had on them? i think there's an item that negates life regen

[golden marten]

I'll check next time I do a tournament, I'm malding right now lol. I'm sure you're right, I never check items

That's pretty lame that they can just disable my character with one item

[static galleon]

Even tho this new league "game mode" has many unfair disadvantages, i really do like the whole "build an army" thing

[golden marten]

Yeah I'm having a great time otherwise

It's pretty fun

[static galleon]

That satisfying feeling once their totems slowly melt away

[solid girder]

Does the enemy team respawn faster than our team?

[ebon swallow]

the rewards are actually decent

[static galleon]

Is what i feel too, yeah

[livid garden]

Yes they buffed the crap out of em. I'm seeing people getting chase items as rewards

As soon as I get off work it's back to the TOTA grind

[ebon swallow]

yeah It's rgeat

[atomic flower]

For a stash tab to be used for trading do I need to add a premium stash tab or can I just upgrade a stash tab

[marsh oracle]

anyone else having problem with brittle ground? doesnt work in ancestor

[livid garden]

BRUH

TOTA OP

[ebon swallow]

BRUH WHAT

[candid basalt]

Did you win?

[ebon swallow]

This is how people got so many Orb of alchemy

you can easily make like 50 an hour or so

[vital meteor]

IM SO CLOSE

[livid garden]

Of course. The new legendary Gloves OP for new mechanic

I dunno why GGG chose reverse knock back

Can just knock em back into your area and they can't do anything

Unique not Lego

Slap em on when you're in TOTA and enjoy free wins

Explody Bois OP too

[static galleon]

been curious, what does TOTA stand for exactly?

[urban obsidian]

Tomb Of The Armadillo

[rustic patio]

does anyonoe have the picture that shows which ancestors to eliminate first?

[bold spade]

Too easy lmao

[mellow flower]

I'm so confused. I'm pretty sure a guy just reverse scammed himself. I sold him a 20/20 vaal RF which goes for 4-5c with a flood of stock(200 on trade), and he keeps putting 20c in the trade window. I accept finally and he immediately says 'Thanks for the divine' in party chat.

[bold spade]

Same happened to me

Tried selling a few tattoos that were 1c and they kept putting way more value in the trade screen

[candid yarrow]

yo what the fuck they are fixing knockback????

i leveled a new character to 90 and put like 8 div into a build for this

and they nerf it in a day

while explodey totems were up for a whole league

[ebon swallow]

bro living frip is such a paion in the ass

[bold spade]

What's the knockback build?

[wet cloak]

No mid-league nerfs btw

[unreal vessel]

Hi I am noob player , I followed the Cold DoT Elementalist League Starter guild

I made 200 chaos orbs flipping silver coins and Lv 58 in Act7

I wonder if I should save the orbs and upgrade my gear when I finish act 10 or upgrade my gear now ?

[bold spade]

Player totem seems ultra flimsy now

Man, as a noob player I didn't understand economy enough to flip stuff, you're on the right track

Save the orbs for after act 10, items get better mods as levels go up

Well, not better mods per se, but the mods can get higher tiers

[unreal vessel]

there seems to be a buff league so silver coin price went up a lot but also I work in finance 🤣

[bold spade]

Yeah that makes sense haha

[ebon swallow]

made 50 chaos in about 50 minutes with TOTA not bad

JEsus

whats the problem dude ?

[wet cloak]

His cheese build was nerfed lol

[little moat]

killed knockback builds the same day

while not fixing actual problems with the league mechanic doing it the "legit" way

[ebon swallow]

lol were you running all tidfe callers or some shit ?

so basically you were cheesing TOTA ?

[little moat]

clever use of game mechanics

tornado shot knockback totems

[opal raptor]

Does this kind of quiver ever have any kind of use in a ranger build? I have no clue what the different stances are

Item Class: Quivers
Rarity: Unique
Scorpion's Call
Heavy Arrow Quiver

Requirements:

Item Level: 57

Adds 14 to 24 Physical Damage to Attacks (implicit)

Claws open, brace for a bite. Stinger raised, dodge or die.

[light sentinel]

I FUCKING hATEHATE kILOVA and the electric snipe blast man FK

[bold spade]

At least Kiloava telegraphs their attacks

Pay attention to the voice lines and you're good

Spear fishers on the other side

Spear lancers*

[light sentinel]

i can take on any other boss or fight. Kilova and the storm conduit bitches are off screen sniping me

ah i turned off dialoge volume

lol

cuz the annoying ass anouncer is loud

[bold spade]

The only one I can't take due to how overtuned their units are is Kahuturoa

[light sentinel]

i just run around him in circles and damage. its a longer fight but i never lose

if i take Kahut on. can kiloava even get eleminated?

this tourny is so fked

[bold spade]

lmao

[light sentinel]

Kah has a titanic shell too fk me

[idle willow]

for some reason the other fighters never match against eachother, so kiloava will still be sitting there waiting to be eliminated

(and kahu as well, if you beat him)

[light sentinel]

oh my god she's gonna end me. her and the storm snipers are too much

[idle willow]

also: I'm pretty sure the flankers are fuckin stupid, and don't focus down the titanic shell totem, so probably prioritize defenders and take it out yourself if you can

only way I've ever been able to win against those damn things

[light sentinel]

here i go

[idle willow]

good luck out there 🫡

[light sentinel]

IM GETTING FUCK
'

[sullen oracle]

I just need to check, the tournament equipment item "birthing spoon", does it make the units revive time faster or slower? "50% reduced time to revive" that wording is fucking with me

wouldnt it be better to say "50% faster revive time"?

[idle willow]

I'm like 90% sure it makes them revive faster

[light sentinel]

NOOOOOOOOOOO . THIS shit isSNT EVEN FAIR

[idle willow]

cus if their respawn time is 10s, in theory "50% reduced time to revive" should bring it down to 5s

the only thing that lowers my confidence on that is the fact that the item has another upside

[idle willow]

the titanic shell or kahu's bs ground slam?

[sullen oracle]

ive got 2 of those on 2 Caldera Ravagers, should be good

[light sentinel]

I could BEARLY deal with the fuckin big shell boy or taks 3 ground slam combo.
What i couldnt deal with was SOME INVISIBLE FUCKER. RANDOMLY POPPING UP AND 1 SHITING me

[idle willow]

a h

last time I fought kahu at a high rank, he legit just walked up, slammed once, and killed me instantly

did it like 3 more times after that, and another 2 during the rematch

I was fuckin l i v i d

[light sentinel]

yeaa it hits so hard and has such a large AOE. but i run around him in tight circles every time and it usually works

they nerfed him too lmao. and it still hits so hard

[idle willow]

I think I had the (dis)pleasure of fighting him before the nerf

[bold spade]

Titanic Shell shielding their own totem is bullshit

[idle willow]

RIGHT?

I thought it was just me that got that

thankfully it only happened when I had one

but like

[true ravine]

Anyone with dps to kill 8 essence chall?

[light sentinel]

i think it defending is easier than it flanking. cuz i gotta now deal with all these other beefy boys and an unstopable massive hp shell turtle that WILL take my totems without flinching

[random drift]

well the league mechanic went from dead to fun back to dead at break neck speed.. hopefully it gets balanced back to fun at some point

[idle willow]

their description explicitly states that they can't shield their own totem

and yet

they just fuckin do it anyway

[thick cape]

is your trial ranking per character?

[idle willow]

ye

[thick cape]

kk

[pale hemlock]

Per character? Fook

Takes like two days to get to 300 rank

[wet pendant]

What spell gem should i start before doing EA ballista elementalist?

[pale hemlock]

Fire trap?

Or detonate dead

[wet pendant]

Their passive trees isn't good at starters i sohuld have put elem tress or dotchaos

[covert mulch]

What is max fire resistance

[tawdry plover]

75 base, can go up to 90

[covert mulch]

Is there an ez way to get there?

[tawdry plover]

There is max res in different places all over the tree, shield can roll +3 in an element and +2 to all

Purity of fire

New max res tattoos

[covert mulch]

Doing RF jugg and I need max fire resistance before I can use rf

[tawdry plover]

If you're early on i don't think you need max res

Just need regen mastery, fire mastery, capped res and maybe vitality

[covert mulch]

Yea still pretty new only lvl 18 on 1st character

[verbal adder]

Is there like a guide on the new league mechanic? Like the placements, what items to put on the flankers etc?

[covert mulch]

I'll try it and see if it works

[tawdry plover]

Pohx.net might have more detailed information

For rf things

[bold spade]

Is it expected that enemies are not stunned when attacking our totems?

[vestal escarp]

so what's the deal with the league mechanic exactly

its not really obvious how stuff works and how your totem even takes damage

[proper widget]

why mechanic give no xp?

[tawdry plover]

It gives xp but very little, likely because you can't lose any interacting with it

Getting about 2-3% a match at 91

[tawdry plover]

Enemies channel on the totem to damage it

[vestal escarp]

you stop them by killing them?

so can you even directly damage the enemy's totems yourself?

or are minions just bad at this league mechanics

like am I relying on my warriors doing stuff

[tawdry plover]

Damaging them is supposed to stun for 5s but the AI tend to stop channeling as you go to hit so they don't get stunned often

You can channel too, hold left click on a totem

[vestal escarp]

how do I do that on a controller is the question

[idle willow]

probably whatever your item pickup button is

[vestal escarp]

I mean, its A, but I have skills bound to A

sooo

hmm

so the idea is like, is it best for me to just spam minions and then go kill enemy totems?

by channeling on them

[proper widget]

its a war of attrition

you dont win by just nuking everything down the first wave

[vestal escarp]

I guess the question is, where am I supposed to do the heavy lifting?

[proper widget]

you play wave by wave and your team is good at taking totems if you make space for them

[mellow flower]

Strongbox spec just let me open this sucker 4x lmao

[vestal escarp]

medium

[upbeat urchin]

I find its best to fill up flankers - 2 defenders - 2 escort - 2 defenders - 2 escort and then fill frontline. Should allow you to make a beeline for their back line. You nuke or cc defenders and let your dudes pop the toyems

[proper widget]

if you arent paying attention to where your allies and enemies are then it will feel like nothing is happening lol

[vestal escarp]

I literally just started the league today tbf so I am still figuring things out

[vestal escarp]

so you do the clearing and let them do the totem killing?

[upbeat urchin]

Its also important to target their flanker totems early

[upbeat urchin]

Mostly, its very easy to get stunned and then one shot

[vestal escarp]

yeah I noticed the enemies do a lot of damage

[upbeat urchin]

I only tap totem if im 100% certain there is no one around

Or its a specific baddy that needs to go down asap

[proper widget]

i wish the monsters werent lvl 55 so id get xp for doing this

but i guess im doing smth wrong

[bold spade]

You will level enemies up as you play

[reef girder]

did they change how taunt works during trials?

because I've been running decoy totem flamewood and it's been great since it draws so much aggro

[lunar stirrup]

the guide Is not up yet but ... you could join the PATREON page to view the Work-In-Progress of the guide if you can't wait 😅 Not recommended though since it'll be share publicly when is ready, but any support will be GREATLY appreciated 🙌

[reef girder]

but I'm noticing that enemies are less inclined to attack it now

[quick gale]

Does anyone know how the Lightning Rod item works: "Defender Teammates gain 3 random charges every 6 seconds"
Do I need to put the equipped character on defense? Or I can put it on anyone and all my defenders gain the charges?

[valid isle]

i still have issues with this mode

imagine 4 defenders losing to one flanker

[bold spade]

Last patch changed a lot more things than the notes showed I think

[lunar stirrup]

any warriors on defend position will get charges when wear this item

[jolly epoch]

They made taunt basically do nothing in the league mech along with other cc things

[tawdry plover]

They can't be taunted now at all

[reef girder]

fuuuuuuuck

[quick gale]

sorry this didn't clarify; the chatacter hasto wear the item to get charges?

[reef girder]

I'm also annoyed at how easily I'm being killed despite having 5 endurance charges, 10k armour, and 84% ele res

[lunar stirrup]

Character as in those karui warrior? yes

[jolly epoch]

Tbh this patch is giving me arch nemesis shenanigan vibes lol

[quick gale]

Ok. The way the wording seems like if anyone wears it, all the Defender units will get charges

[valid isle]

my biggest issues with the mode are too much damage/hp on enemies and too short of respawn time on enemies
