[dreamy carbon]

skill issue

[verbal tapir]

no just run them they are actually rlly profitable

[warm compass]

i just did the harvest beast map, got 3 new beast, im going to get a regex now to see if i got anything good

got one 20c and two 50c, cool!

[gleaming tapir]

holy strongboxes are terrible

[dreamy carbon]

what was the regex

oh I found something that can kill my doryani's merc

combo of a rare with soul eater and healing suppression + max charged ore boss

[gleaming tapir]

30 maps and 0 divs / 0 good cards / 0 valdos from strongboxes

[gritty basin]

Are you using scarabs? And if yes, what combo?

[gleaming tapir]

2 ambush 1 potency and 1 disc

chaotic disposition is my best drop xD

[gritty basin]

I assume you have the Atlas nodes for strongboxes. Might be worth it to unallocate the ones for maps (see image) if you have them, since that's eating into your % chance for div/currnecy boxes

But other than that, 30 maps and nothing big, if you're not using the scarab of containment, doesn't sound that surprising to me. Might be worth dropping the potency in favor of another base ambush scarab

[verbal tapir]

i feel like strongbox always in some way sorta gamba strat

albeit usually break even

also depends if ur in t17s

[gleaming tapir]

i have them unlocated

what other strat should i do then..

[gritty basin]

The number one thing is to do whatever you find fun. That being said, if you're trying to increase profit margins there's two concepts to consider (minor monologue incomming)

1. Farm what's in demand, especially if it's something people don't particularly enjoy. Doing some high-profit strat where you might get a crazy payout can be fun, but odds are you're going to strike out a lot first. That's something like farming Watcher's Eye from whichever boss drops it. The ones that sell for super high values do so because they're uncommon at best. Last league, I made a lot of my profit by farming Veiled Orbs from Catarina, because people wanted them but nobody wanted to fight her b/c it'd wipe their board. It was a 33% drop at the best odds, and each one was selling for like 4-5 divs.

2. Consider which mechanics are "Active" vs "Passive". I'm using those terms to denote how you interact with the mechanic. Something like Strongboxes (when not hyper-focused), Harbingers, Rogue Exiles, or Essences would be a "passive" mechanic b/c you don't really stop to think about much, you just click, kill, loot and move on. Blight, Expedition, Alva's Temple would all be "active" mechanics because you need top stop for a moment to process what's happening, make a decision about how to approach it, and then continue - basically, they're mechanics that would interrupt the flow of running around and killing at maximum speed

In a very broad sense, my advice is always to focus on one or two "active" mechanics (per atlas tree), and then spend the remaining points on "passive" mechanics or travel nodes (increased chance to drop scarabs is nothing to sneeze at)

[gleaming tapir]

can i just farm scarabs without t17s...

[gritty basin]

I can't imagine why not

[dawn iron]

Thanks

[minor heron]

I respec from hollow palm into archmage vortex in act 6 and now doing no damage, any idea why?

[warm compass]

i just went poeregex on google first result and then put 20c minimum value

[dreamy carbon]

ah ty

[gleaming tapir]

that hurt me...

at least the sound made me happy

[hoary oasis]

Is it better to have as short as possible ignite duration? Shorter ignite = more dps?

[sonic field]

no

well depends on the stat

"deals damage faster" shortens the duration whiel keeping the damage (so increases dps), reduced duration cuts down dmg to keep the same dps

[hoary oasis]

So in general a hit causes a certain amount of dps ignite, not certain amount of damage that is going to be dealt over x seconds?

Like 800 dmg/s for x seconds instead of, say 5 000 damage to be dealt over x seconds

[sonic field]

90% of base dmg of the hit per second at base

[hoary oasis]

In first case increased time would result in higher damage dealt while in second case total damage would stay the same but dps would go down with this item

If it worked that way

I see, thanks

[tired widget]

another hotfix, safehouse shuffling still not fixed sadge

[gleaming anvil]

Hey guys what content would you recommend i farm as a power siphon ballista build?

[glad zephyr]

I farmed harvest, it was so nice the totems can catch stray monsters

[winter elk]

i finally found a merc with grace but its vaal, is that bad? "suppressed spell damage unlucky" am i reading wrong

[rose dragon]

vaal grace is good

suppresed unlucky means that damage you take from suppressed spells is unlucky - so smaller on average. thats good

[winter elk]

noted, ill pick it up

[edgy nimbus]

Does arkhon tools belt work with skitterbot merc?

[severe violet]

I have been away for a few days, is the Doryani Merc setup still working?

[rose dragon]

as good as ever yeah

[hoary oasis]

Do Ambush mobs reappear in Rituals?

I didn't see them being mentioned in wiki article

[heady gazelle]

so confused lol, lvl 42 vfoc zerker, resists are all 80+ but everytime I go near a mob i get 1 shot (almost). Kitava 1 shot me like 9 times. I 1 shot everything, so it's an odd experience

[rose dragon]

Whats your Life at?

[heady gazelle]

1152 👀 ive no idea how much life I should have at lvl 42 lol

[strong bronze]

Does "increased elemental damage with attacks" work with kinetic blast of clustering on mercs?

[verbal tapir]

rule is usually 300 an act

[heady gazelle]

gotcha. I just hit act6 so ill spend some time getting some more hp

[verbal tapir]

tho i will say i was mainly always squishy on my zerk

[heady gazelle]

definitely feels super squish.. my necro felt tankier lol

[outer sedge]

does rarity on mercs work if you use the gloves ?

[rose dragon]

Gravebind? it works but range is small af

like less than half of screen vertical and merc needs to be close to what you killing not to you

prolly good if you are doing titanic content so mobs survive a few seconds

[outer sedge]

hmm does it prevent hh to work for me ?

[rose dragon]

It should prevent it yeah

[flat current]

Whats the spawning mechanic of the svalinn boss?

[gusty tulip]

Can someone tell me price of squire? Poe ninja isn't working for me ATM on mobile

[river arrow]

anyone got a good currency atlas tree build ? idk what to go

[gilded bone]

fubgun's T17 strongboxes

I'm doing some T16 bosses/strongboxes - blight and expedition

blight T16.5 is crazy

[river arrow]

okay thx mate

can i get a link to the video tho so i can see it fully ?

if u still have it @gilded bone

[gilded bone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UncYsX4LFMA

[river arrow]

thx alot

[strong bronze]

is blight boxes affected by atlas ?

[steep hedge]

any idea how to mimic perquils toe from merc here

[rose dragon]

Your damage with hits is lucky

[steep hedge]

thanks

[hoary oasis]

What does T16.5 mean?

[neat ore]

is adrenaline is bugged in pob

https://poe.ninja/profile/Justin7up-1793/character/EmmaZunz

my movespeed or damage anything doesnt change if I equip or unequip the boots or check or uncheck adrenaline so I dont know If I have to use custom modifier to see what adrenaline does or not

[cunning creek]

kekwhat? shared infamous merc in 4040, loot is still allocated to someone else

[minor heron]

Hmmm is this BS

[delicate tartan]

internet is down here and I can't log in using my 5g, anyone has a build to play with internet down?

[hollow osprey]

Juggernaut with 100 mill dps

Yeah I smell bs

[delicate tartan]

juggerbolt of exile

[strong bronze]

aurabot with merc is nice

[delicate tartan]

kineticist?

[strong bronze]

yea, then gull and bumblebore for shrine buffs

[rose dragon]

Wander jugg with replica alberons can hit 100mil dps

just not cheap

like really not cheap

[delicate tartan]

I really like kineticists, had one early maps she popped

[strong bronze]

onslaught on shoes, asearh gloves nad the new ring

[sonic field]

prob alberons

or acc stacking

or both

[delicate tartan]

any of you played storm burst totems or similar?

[sonic field]

prob best general use merc

[rose dragon]

ye

[sonic field]

ig my eyesight is indeed getting worse from those deli maps

[rose dragon]

strstack wander is a vibe, sad that its like the most viable wander

[delicate tartan]

had a renowned one even, greated KB and stuff

[sonic field]

go true chad trarthus heavy strike str stack

[sonic field]

nice, i found renowned one only once but didnt have haste so i skipped

[delicate tartan]

what are the good scion builds now? I swear I miss her ass voice lines

[sonic field]

aurabot

[delicate tartan]

kek

I swear she has been trash since 2.6

maybe not 2.6, more like the ascendancy rework

legacy of phrecia weird ascendancy replacing scion ones when?

[sonic field]

back in the says there were cwc froststorm builds on her

[sonic field]

scavenger in normal poe

[delicate tartan]

(didn't play it idk what was broken lol)

[sonic field]

scavenger was scion's asc and she had unique item mods as nodes

[delicate tartan]

oh god

[sonic field]

like cloak's phys to fire

[delicate tartan]

it's infuriating cuz she's the best character to play as imho

even without looking at her butt

[strong bronze]

This is what i have on my kineticst merc:

https://pobb.in/Rp-nwIHLcJYk

the new ring doesnt exist so couldnt add it

(coiling whisper)

[sonic field]

does gull even work on mercs

[strong bronze]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mercenaries/mRa9LOaf6

create doesnt work

[sonic field]

ah you just take it for inc eff

[strong bronze]

shrine effect from blunderbore oes

[delicate tartan]

on my blade flurry GC I'm using a lightning templar, gets me wrath, shock (little bit of chill) and exposure, and lucky for my lightning damage

[strong bronze]

also shrines in map

[delicate tartan]

shrine good?

[sonic field]

shrines are free player power + bonus monsters so yeah

[strong bronze]

spec srhines in atlas too

[delicate tartan]

oh yeah then they stack

[strong bronze]

everytime you take a shrine you have 150% effect on your merc

[delicate tartan]

nice indeed

[strong bronze]

and stacking shrines

[delicate tartan]

mercs get bonuses from the atlas?

[strong bronze]

yea, he gets the shrines when i take em

[delicate tartan]

(my internet has been down for an hour now)

I mean the little nodes like shrine duration?

[strong bronze]

yea, i have like minute of shrine effect.

[sonic field]

you just share the shrine buffs with your merc

so they have them as long as you do

[delicate tartan]

ah I see

[velvet palm]

Guys could someone recommend the rest gear options to make me and my merc tankier? (I'm RF)

[runic zephyr]

your merc basically shouldnt ever die if he is capped, and tankyness for you? get a merc with clear and give him asenath and a +1 curse so you have free temp chains on all enemies

[sonic field]

kinda limited with the str merc sadly

i assume as rf you use legacy of fury yourself so no need for them on merc

[velvet palm]

I do not need one for clear seens my clears is 2 and a half screen wide with my current atlas and scarabs

But sometimes juicy t17 hurt

[velvet palm]

What is legacy of fury?

[velvet palm]

the boots. Why would RF use that?

[sonic field]

one of best rf boots

[runic zephyr]

well besides kaoms binding and kingmaker there isnt much that benefits YOU

[velvet palm]

Abbiraths are the best since they give fgree adrenaline

[runic zephyr]

most stuff makes you tanky by debuffing enemies but that isnt great for long cover

[sonic field]

then slap legacy on merc

[velvet palm]

Good idea

But what does scroch do?

[runic zephyr]

lowers ele res

[sonic field]

• res

[velvet palm]

oh, but is is useless lol

Chieftain already has -20% at all times

[runic zephyr]

if you arent fully ailment immune you can give him sign of sin eater
and another obvious one for your tankynesss of course garb

[sonic field]

then you get another -10%

[runic zephyr]

which your current merc cant equip

[sonic field]

idk why would that be useless

[velvet palm]

You can't go below this value

Since it is static at all times

[sonic field]

oh right

hmm

[rose dragon]

ye chief doesnt care about htem

[velvet palm]

-20% enemy res at all times, can't modify this value

[runic zephyr]

didnt you ask for things to make you more tanky and not more damage 🤔 ?

[velvet palm]

Yeah, tankiness is the priority

[rose dragon]

how will legacy of fury give tank though?

[velvet palm]

then damage if possible

[sonic field]

enemy dead faster = less dmg dealt

[runic zephyr]

id really just get another merc that can equip garb, kaoms and kingmaker - doubt anything comes close to making your max hit higher

[rose dragon]

With RF you cannot get enough enemy dead faster for it to matter 😛

[runic zephyr]

well, easy to say when youre current one has 2 auras but ya know

[sonic field]

there isnt a merc than can equip both kingmaker and garb

[velvet palm]

but those do not have auras

[runic zephyr]

is there not a templar with a staff? thought there was

[sonic field]

kingmaker is an axe

[velvet palm]

but templars have useless auras

[runic zephyr]

ah, right, thought 2H melee mercs can equip any 2H melee

cant think of anything obvious besides sign for your current one then

[sonic field]

nope, you are limited strictly to their preferred item type

[velvet palm]

sign?

[runic zephyr]

actually your guy is an axe guy again and sign of the sin eater is a sceptre

gearing those guys is such a pain xd

[velvet palm]

THat's why I came here, because I know some of you are crazy smart and can figure something out

I only know two items and I already bought them

[runic zephyr]

really all im doing on my mercs is looking at what uniques exist

e.g. for damage blood price helmet

[velvet palm]

Just gave my merc this to apply one more curse

[hoary oasis]

Does Merc's 2nd curse need to be applied via items that grant a curse + on-hit effect?

[velvet palm]

I think, at least my plan is to give a pair of gloves with a curse

[hoary oasis]

What gloves exactly?

[velvet palm]

let me buy them and i'll show u

[runic zephyr]

i can imagine giving the merc skin of the lords for EE and giving him a cold/lightning weapon to apply a -25% fire exposure would be an option🤔

[velvet palm]

Chiftain... U can't got -20% value

[runic zephyr]

haha youre right its the same thing again >.>

is the axe dude the only guy who can get two good auras for RF? i think wiki doesnt have all types yet does it?

[velvet palm]

I only found this one, ran about 1000+ maps t16 and t17 combined

[runic zephyr]

farming mercs SUCKS lmao took me so long to find a gmp KB guy

[hoary oasis]

I'm RF and I use the str/int/dex type, the one that has elemental curse + movement speed aura (?)

Forgot the names

[runic zephyr]

could try to get a warlords glove with culling strike if you dont have it yet

[slate hill]

I like kineticist and cruel mistress

[hoary oasis]

Oh, I think that's Kineticist

[slate hill]

Kineticist has elemental weakness ye, yet to find one with haste aura tho

[velvet palm]

Why do u need ele curse for RF?

[hoary oasis]

I don't have Ramako yet

[velvet palm]

I think Axe with Taunt is great as well

[hoary oasis]

It doesn't affect Fire Trap initial explosion damage though, right?

[naive prism]

How's gold output in delve ? Haven't delved for a few leagues😅

Not even using kingsmarch mappers but still kinda struggling with gold, just for farmers

[agile hemlock]

last league was bad

[velvet palm]

That's not even a damage, that's like a tickling your enemy

62k hit VS 602k over time... those 62 don't even count as damage

[hoary oasis]

I see. I just started mapping and I need to do my 3rd lab

[tired bridge]

Is there a good way to tell PoB that enemies are afflicted by curses when your merc is using like 3 curses?

[scarlet sun]

this mod is so fucking disgusting all of my map lost and all deaths from this

5k hp , 6endu , 21 fort 80% res and still oneshot

[rose dragon]

build issue

get 20k ES

or just remove flasks or use mageblood

plenty of ways to handle

[gritty basin]

Or literally just use the flask and then move

[scarlet sun]

ty for the remove flask tip

[scarlet sun]

im doing boxes and walking around not to get hit but still do

[gritty basin]

I have all my utility flasks set to use when the charges reach full, and as long as I'm moving (which I pretty much always am, staying still is deadly in PoE) the motor hits where I was before

[gritty basin]

Are you using any sort of a movement skill?

[potent cove]

what are some good items to put on mercenary as blight of contagion occultist?

[scarlet sun]

leap after opening

[gritty basin]

Ah, no shield then I assume. Best advice is straight lines, maximize distance

[hasty perch]

Temporal rift gaming

[gritty basin]

Depends on what type of merc you have, really. Taunt can be good, extra curse can be good, any unique that says "allies have" is probably good - like Shaper's Seed for 4% life and mana regen per second

[hasty perch]

Best merc on occu contagion is no merc

You arent getting 50% more damage out of a merc with a chaos dot

And you should be tanky enough to not warrant an enduring cry fortify determ striker at the cost of damage

[valid mist]

is there a good way to get cull onto merc?

[gritty basin]

I think its always better to merc than not. Mercs give 25% iiq, basically

[runic zephyr]

warlord glove

[valid mist]

ty

[runic zephyr]

is there any item you can quickly use to test if mercs actually consume mana? something like making their attacks extremely expensive or something

[hasty perch]

Yeah but chaos dot is kinda zdps

So if you slow your clear speed because rares and uniques take longer

[valid mist]

my merc is currently giving me QoL and iiq rather than damage but my clear is fine

I do swap out of it for pinnacles though I think

[sonic field]

indigon on caster merc

[vast fractal]

anyone know which specific content is restricted?

[valid mist]

god I wish I found her as a higher level. I need one of these for level 83

[hasty perch]

Like i use a striker with determination fortify allies and enduring cry on my mamba to get to 10K armor without any on gear and not die mapping in juiced stufg but i lose damage

[distant flare]

any uber late gamers here?

[runic zephyr]

how would that help? he would need to ramp up a while for that, i need something that prevents him to cast at all

maybe his mana costs are low and only hit when he attacks fast or something

[rose dragon]

I had 100% harvest chance on tree and it didnt appear. using map device option for harvest on next map worked though

[gritty basin]

As a guess I'd say whatever content is specific to the memory, so you can't like reroll it for a specific outcome or something

[vast fractal]

hmm i do have shrine on my tree and there werent any

so like there is a list of certain content that are available but thr wiki doesnt mention

like merc isnt available

[gritty basin]

I've only had one memory map so far, haven't really explored that mechanic

[vast fractal]

aight thanks

[gilded bone]

I finally got my last 2 voidstones ,Maven still my worst boss

[distant flare]

can anyone spare some time to help with my build at all please ?

[gilded bone]

post on https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1019646743299764255 , what build is it ?

[slim talon]

what atm is a fast ~2 divine t16 mapping build?

[gilded bone]

hmm ,not too sure I would say to check https://youtu.be/2_3Ds2tce00?t=448

I can say that Holy relic of conviction is pretty good , I was doing T10 on 4 link

of RF ez ,played it 23 times 😄

[slim talon]

ig build doesnt matter too much either? j survivability and damage matters and not looting random crap

[potent cove]

any way to speed this up? its 500 maps at 100% quant with 4 fragments

[gilded bone]

Poisonous Concoction looks good and cheap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnODFoqRw4U

[gilded bone]

T16.5 or T17 to speed it up , like 200-300% a map

[potent cove]

still a shocking amount of maps!

[outer sedge]

are there map modifiers that boost packsize like currencies and scarabs ?

from t17 and 16.5

[short lodge]

Really hope they're going to do another balance pass on the mercs. I'm so incredibly tired of the russian roulette of if I'm going to get one shot or not.

[runic zephyr]

i farmed just like 2 hours or something for my kineticist and the 1 in 10 merc that oneshot me felt so bad

that, and on death effects... can make the game feel so frustrating

[short lodge]

It's really discouraging when the whole league mechanic and reason to play is unenjoyable to interact with. Going to stick to running heist blueprints for now and stay away from maps most likely.

[scarlet sun]

were boxes nerfed? did like 15 containments and got 4 valdo and 2 d raw

or im saving up my luck for mirror

[hasty perch]

run map effect and 8 mods it goes fast really

[runic zephyr]

the fun of gearing and playing around with mercs luckily makes more than up for finding them in maps

aurabotting for a merc is so much fun and you dont need any friends anymore :')

[sonic field]

yeah but apparently they are still worth it

[scenic arch]

hey guys what's the good start strategy to farm scarabs?

[heady gazelle]

does anyone else have issues with their game randomly freezing for like 4-5 seconds?

fire's still firing, just my char and the mobs are stuck lmao

[gilded bone]

not me , try changing the renderer dx12 or vulkan, you could delete the cache in appdata,roaming,poe folder ShaderCache

[heady gazelle]

ill try that out, ta

[strong bronze]

is that wand better than piscator vigil?
https://pobb.in/Rp-nwIHLcJYk

[gilded bone]

I've had pretty good rng on bosses, Dying Sun about 4 Awakener's Orb,Orb of Dominance 2 each

[runic zephyr]

on mercs definitely, dont know how many esh stacks youd be getting but inc damage isnt very good on mercs

youd need to kill around 10 shocked enemies per second to be close to the wand im using with eshs mirror, if i wouldnt be so unsure how much accuracy my merc has id use it too over lycosidae

actually, how is your merc shocking reliably to even trigger esh with no added damage on him 🤔

[heady gazelle]

game keeps saying out of date gpu detected but ive liteally updated it recently -.-

[strong bronze]

my merc is erasing maps in 1-2 minutes, bosses is slower.

[runic zephyr]

t16s? ig its hard to benchmark since KB mercs are so strong they delete all kind of packs

didnt test mine in t17s yet, esp with asenath packs will always just kaboom instantly

[heady gazelle]

yeah mercs are dumb lol. I still have no idea which ones are the best to use but im only lvling act 9 and this explosive arrow merc is shredding everything

This seems like a pretty OP combo

[wary smelt]

U want inspiring cry instead of frostblink

That combo is so rare though

[heady gazelle]

I think i have 1 with that actually, it's just lower llv

no haste though, meh

[wary smelt]

Inspiring + haste

Not any blinks

[heady gazelle]

gotcha

[runic zephyr]

this ones my current one, KB+GMP is the most important for clear obv

and being lucky that the AI isnt stupid and decides to constantly use barrage for no reason

[heady gazelle]

just hit act 10 now playing vfoc, gonna be fun mapping with these mercs lol

[grim basalt]

Does the AI use barrage in single target?

Because my merc lacks single target dmg sadly

[runic zephyr]

i heard people say theirs is smart about it but mine really never uses barrage at all

[grim basalt]

Ok so not just mine. Yeah i was hoping they would just barrage on single target which would increase dmg

[trail viper]

hi what's the odds of my corrupting room being empowered
is it 1/2 or 1/5

as it stands t1 nexus room raises 1 linked room but idk if rooms that are t3/undeveloped count

[halcyon tide]

chat, what is this weapon worth? surely its higher than 8 chaos, or?

[grim basalt]

I'm hunting for a sanguimancer without brutality

because that may be better than the kineticist for what im trying to run

losing haste kinda sucks tho

[runic zephyr]

its not

[rose dragon]

Gonna bet you 8c you wont be able to sell it even for 8c

[prime tree]

Has anyone gotten anything decent from Vorici in Transportation? haven't even seen a "stack of divine" post or something like that on reddit

[past spire]

is it elder or uber elder for challenge? i dont want to 'waste' cash for one that doesnt works ty

[gilded bone]

normal elder

[slender moss]

https://poedb.tw/us/Fallen_Reverend
any ideas on what this merc's 3 summons do? Reinforce: Fallen Bishop, Reinforce: Fallen Emperor, Reinforce: Fallen Osseotitan. I read 1 comment that 1 of them has 2 blasphemy curse auras and was curious on what the other 2 do but there's almost 0 information on them out there

[sonic field]

youll need to run uelder for 4 stones anyway

[gilded bone]

maybe someone in global 6666 knows, it's the minion global

[past spire]

have it done alrdy but it was without the merc , will try elder now and see if it works

[past spire]

didnt works you owe me 100 c for try , just kidding i will do UE now

[near pelican]

hey bro, heard u like attack speed

[neat ore]

they're pretty common

[gilded bone]

best way is to get rid of other mercenary types

[heady gazelle]

this freezing.. fml.. called ISP, no issues, tried wiring in, same shit. I give up xD

[glacial bolt]

dude the fucking ritual mobs that release the green volatiles on death are cancer af

[tawny smelt]

i just got dc cant log back in rip map

[glacial bolt]

why are they still a thing

[gray compass]

Noob question

If i put gravebind on my merc, will i no longer gain leech (as slayer), adrenaline (death rush) and increasd damage if killed recently (jewel)

[gilded bone]

interesting stuff in the podcast with ocativan ex streamer, ggg dev , looks like the merc are using high lvl auras, ballormage said that envy is like lvl 28 on a lvl 83 merc

[valid mist]

Yeah, looking for one to be my damage friend and a kine to be my map clear friend (haste aura)

[scarlet sun]

this enemy is such a shit design, i need to kill everything from range to survive in t17 and im force to be in hug range to dmg him

[coarse bridge]

Build some defense

[neat ore]

That enemy is kinda a shitter that does no damage tho

[scarlet sun]

well i died 2 times to him now

[agile hemlock]

if MF TS gamers managed to deal with the cloaked skeletal beasts that come out of abysses in affliction, you can manage one of these.

[gilded bone]

I still remember dying so much in hc to them back in 2012

[somber lantern]

https://i.imgur.com/Cv7JMMI.jpeg

ANy way i can remove .....evertthuing?

like i can see what 60% of my screeen?

is this peak gameplay? ;_;

[coarse bridge]

You can remove quest tracking, chat, buffs

[somber lantern]

Thought i disabled all auras alrdy

quest tracking where?:X

[coarse bridge]

Ui settings

[neat ore]

Yeah you can make the game some crazy aspect ratio and have it hang off the side of the screen, then you can use some program like Ontopreplica to take your flasks or other important information and bring it back onto the screen

[leaden hound]

saw someone say that "pinnacles paired: elder" kill only counted with uber uber elder; can anyone confirm?
(just did reg elder and it didnt proc)

[gilded bone]

guess is the fake uber , the one that give you the voidstone, do that

how do you know what is the level of the aura carried by a merc?

[gilded bone]

no way to see but octavian ex streamer ggg dev was yesterday on a podcast and close to the end they talked about the aura lvl on lvl 83 , he said they have high lvl auras , balormage said that envy is lvl 28

[low kindle]

and what about auras from perfect corpses? how do they compare

oh, those depend on the spectre level, don't they

[gilded bone]

poe db has some info about that , for example https://poedb.tw/us/Perfect_Warlord#PerfectWarlordOakHighMonster , it doesn't show the lvl but based on the vitality aura 54 Life/s it's close to lvl 10 , vitality at lvl 10 is 56.2

No scarabs?

I guess im just gonna have to farm T16 8 mods since i have none but i have butt loads of t16's normal stored up ;/ almost every strat wants t16.5 or t17 or bare min t16 8 mods lmao

Does Squirming Terror's "trigger socketed spell on kill"
Only work with gems with the "Spell" tag
and Does this work on mercs?
I know "Grant" skills don't work

[tired bloom]

if your merc equips the gull, do they get longer shrine buffs than you do?

[valid mist]

Honestky I think runegrafts are drastically worse and also less interesting than runesmithing

[gray compass]

Yeah there's only a few half decent ones

[brave marsh]

That's because runesmithing was the "free" power of the league

Runegrafts are core content and thus a lot more balanced

[solar grove]

anybody know if we can control the spectres of our merc by placing corpses for them?

oh nvm its raise spectre of transience

[tacit goblet]

I have transitioned from Exsang to Reap but yeah I am currently doing mines

And if your looking to tank this is not the build lol

[remote scroll]

ohh i see, have you done t17s t16.5s? how does it feel in those

[tacit goblet]

Merc are my worse enemy but the biggest defence I have is freeze

My PoB is in build help if you want to look

Idk if I can post em here

[tacit goblet]

16.5s are besides sirus puddles that do way to much dmg to me

[remote scroll]

would u be able to link it?

[tacit goblet]

https://pobb.in/LgjLDfXMRzus

I am missing some crafts and such ad I am playing on console this leauge to play with a mate

So dmg can go higher with +2 wand, sheild and amulet

And the belt can be swapped to a rare if you need more defences

[remote scroll]

ohh thanks a lot!

looks pretty nice

[tacit goblet]

I am going to craft a new body armour tonight so should pull 25k evasion with flask active

[tacit goblet]

Heads up to. Exsang hits instantly once the mine detonates while Reap doesn't. So if your mapping and things are getting close/hitting you switch to Exsang as it will "freeze" faster

[remote scroll]

yea i was planning to just do exsang, the lightning version with doryani merc

[cursive glen]

played the build in settlers, nothing changed other than slightly less tank and damage.

scales damage to a ridiculously degree, super strong mapping, especially with the new chain gloves

your defensive layer is making sure nothing is alive to hit you

I farmed t17 maps by offscreen things and deleting the boss before they do anything threatening

for lightning version you won't have the freeze defensive layer so you'll be even less survivable, but in exchange your damage will be even higher?

[remote scroll]

😮 that sounds fun

[cursive glen]

just a headsup though, i scaled damage with pre-nerf adorned

[mint trout]

anyone know a bama build that can run t17?

[mint trout]

Oh its just for leveling or do you have a plan for later on

[dreamy carbon]

to continue using it

yeah

[valid mist]

Does the safehouse captain for syndicate have better rewards or does it not matter and only rank is relevant?

[dreamy carbon]

based it on this end goal https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/character/Echon21-1165/Echon_Health

[mint trout]

Gotchu I been looking to try it but im on a private league

Gunna be tough getting shield and dissolution

[gritty basin]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they did away with the level 4 chests if it was a leader, so I think it's just rank that matters now. Take that with a grain of salt tho

[valid mist]

Also does Vorici actually have consistent rewards or is it just hoping for stack of 10 div or exalts

[gritty basin]

Vorici is random currency in that spot, right? 'cause I think it's mostly just random or it'd be meta

[valid mist]

Full stack of currency times 3 with emperor's luck weighting

I guess it is low effort

Main syndicate rewards now is probabaly cat frag and allflames anyway

Never really dealt with it before so I'm giving it a try and just going for a standard Vorici grav and haku Leo setup

Sure does take a bit to.do though lol

[gritty basin]

Last I checked it was Gravicius in... Fortification, maybe? Whichever one gave a stack of div cards. Really just fishing for high value

^ for meta

[valid mist]

Yeah.

Not fort

[gritty basin]

Cat frags are high value, I'm guessing that her special currency is even higher value but I'm not in-game right now to check

[valid mist]

But yeah

[valid mist]

Veiled exalt is like 7 div

1100 chaos on ninja maybe even higher in game

[gritty basin]

Faustus is usually higher price, yeah

Do you know what the fragment is going for rn?

[valid mist]

No, haven't even looked

But a lot

The answer is a lot

Like way more than even frac tend to be

[gritty basin]

There's a part of me that wants to just start buying the fragments to run and selling the veiled exalts

But I'm guessing it's a profit loss overall unless the fragment is less than 1/3rd the cost of the exalt

Assuming they didn't change the drop rate, it's a 1/3rd chance to get the exalt if she's at the top tier, and I think the fragment can only drop if the safehouse was in that range now

[valid mist]

1/5.5

200 for frag. 1.1k for orb

Which is fucking insane l.ak

Lmao

That said boy that is a big risk unless you are already rich

[gritty basin]

That's... actually good then

[valid mist]

If it is 1/3

But I kinda doubt it

[gritty basin]

200c for a fragment, if you assume it's a consistent 1/3rd drop then that's 600 to turn into 1.1k - almost doubling the value

Hol' on, lemme check the patch notes

[valid mist]

They don't always tell rate changes

They also ninja nerf

[gritty basin]

"Veiled Orbs have been renamed to Veiled Exalted Orbs, their functionality is unchanged."

Not saying that it's for sure unchanged, but I'm not seeing anything that suggests a drop rate change

[valid mist]

Idk. Maybe people just really hate cat

Do you even lose xp in her fight now?

[gritty basin]

I'm pretty sure a lot of people dislike the Cat fight becuase it's - iirc - a phys and chaos damage fight that has immunity phases and thusly takes a while

Plus, last league at least, there was really only one drop that was noteably worth it - the veiled orb. Everything else was meh at best

So anyone who was farming Syndicate was doing the 2-2-5-5 approach and spamming safehouses instead

[valid mist]

I'd probs get owned this league then. Exsang mines. Not the tankiest against Phys

I do have a kintsugi but I doubt it's be enough

[gritty basin]

That's part of why I usually play an RF build. Just ignore damage, heal faster

Only gotta watch out for the map mod that reduces/disables regen

[valid mist]

Scav last league had pretty hilarious Phys mit for the type of build it was

I was running a lightning cool

Rf is interesting but they seem kinda shit to get started

[dreamy carbon]

the fight is basically free now

huge changes this patch

[gritty basin]

Honestly it's the easiest thing IMO. Act 1 is kinda rough b/c for the 'suggested' route you start with a Witch to get a few gems, but you can have RF online and totally stable by mid-end of Act 2 as long as you're paying attention

[valid mist]

So surely they made the orh rarer or everyone would be running it right?

[dreamy carbon]

but if you take into account players can't read

[valid mist]

I guess it can't be that rare or the frags wouldn't be valuable

[gritty basin]

I wasn't so much suggesting that it was difficult as much as it's slow/annoying to players who want to zoom around

[dreamy carbon]

right it's less annoying now

there's 1 immunity phase instead of 4

[gritty basin]

Then I go to your other point - reading is a lost art form for gamers 😄

[valid mist]

Oh that is a big difference

Immunity phases are a real bitch for limited uptime builds

[gritty basin]

Wait a sec... IIR/IIQ shouldn't apply in that fight, right? If we assume the drops are unchanged then it's a 1/3rd chance for the orb but you can't boost that with IIQ

'cause otherwise a merc with tons of IIQ/IIR and some survivability should make that SUPER profitable

[valid mist]

They're always hard drop rates

Like watchers I imagine

[gritty basin]

Yeah, can't drop more than one. I guess it depends on how IIQ actually impacts the math behind the scenes, and how the drops themselves are coded

[valid mist]

May be worth trying to farm cat if I get enough of a money base to soak the risk though. Last league I really liked doing shaper.

I'd assume it just doesn't impact it at all.

[gritty basin]

Like if the drop is coded as "roll a 3 sided dice, if it's a 1 then drop the orb", IF IIQ gave you a second chance to roll the dice on a fail...

But yeah, I'm assuming that's not how it works

[valid mist]

It wouldn't be normal drop calculation it just checks 1/3

[gritty basin]

It'd be way too broken if it did

[chilly saddle]

is it possible the mod "% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Cold Damage while affected by Purity of Ice" isnt dropping? none exist on the market. or did it get removed from the game and its just a legacy mod that can be searched in the trade?
nvm it was removed in settlers >
Many Modifiers that granted Physical Damage taken as an Element or Chaos can no longer roll. This includes Incursion Temple and Delve modifiers on Helmets, Corruption modifiers on Shields, Fire Warbands modifiers on Helmets, and all Watcher's Eye modifiers.

[humble zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXxHtdmoW4M doesa this still work or it got nerfed?

[vocal birch]

Does anyone want a free battle-scarred hideout (promenade map)? I have 4 portals left

[paper gale]

Is there a kind of merc that can have both Kingmaker and Garb? Realizing there probably isn't unless I'm missing something

[dreamy carbon]

does Garb not work on Str-only?

[paper gale]

Does it? I have no idea, haven't tested yet and still waiting on something to sell to buy both of em. Idrk how merc attributes work tbh

[rose dragon]

It should work on str only

It shouldn't work on str/dex

[dreamy carbon]

yeah that's my understanding

speaking of str/dex/int mercenaries can't wear ward gear at all

[gritty onyx]

Alright I spent some time trying to figure out the best Merc for me on volcanic fissure of snaking and I ended up... With a Merc that has the same skill as me ("Eruptor," pure strength), along with the following:

• +2 additional curses (rare body + unique boots)
• 2 curse on hit rings (flammability, ele weak)
• Shaper helmet with nearby enemies take 6% additional ele damage
• Perquel's toe
• Kingmaker despot axe
• Kaom's binding belt
• Has determination as the aura
• Gloves with fire exposore and extinguish on hit eldritch implicits

This Merc is nearly doubling both my DPS and my EHP. I also haven't seen him die in the 5 or so maps I've used him with.

Thoughts on what I could improve? All of his slots are filled with custom gear. His gloves seem the least useful, but they're fine too.

[vast fractal]

anyone know why the echo of trauma sells so well?

[paper gale]

Why/what's the rationale for that? Does that mean Kingmaker would also work on a str only merc or is it not the same logic

[rose dragon]

Armour gear is attribute gated - str can wear anything that has str, str/dex can wear anything that does not have int, dex can wear anything with dex, dex/int can wear anything that does not have str etc.

weapons are gated by type - axe merc can only axe

[paper gale]

Ah okay got it, thanks. My thinking (with no testing lol) was just that str/int could do str and/or int but that str or dex or int would only be able to wear things requiring only the matching attribute

[dreamy raven]

[devout hawk]

I tested this yesterday with my str based ones and they cant equipt garb 🥲

If anyone finds a merc that can use both kingmaker and garb let me know

[twilit imp]

should I abandon

does I get my crop back

[sonic field]

yeah cuz garb's str req is "fake"

aka it comes from a item mod not the item itself

[sonic field]

nah keep it, not a big deal

[twilit imp]

okay see ya in 1 hour and 41 minutes

after the shipment done

[sonic field]

garb is a pure es base

so only mercs with int can wear it

[rose dragon]

Ooh its savant robe

[sonic field]

ye the str is entirely from the item mod so it doesnt count

[rose dragon]

Bloody horrible ux that

[sonic field]

just use kineticist

although ive seen that the dudes with static strike are the best if you want to run merc carry

Hello im kinda newbie in PoE. I Have a problem ;
When i try to use Rare ring on my mercenary with "Curse Enemies with Despair on hit" this does work perfectly.

BUUT, when i try to use Mark of Submission Unset Ring and try to put curse on it (so far i tried Despair, Enfeeble) it didn't work.

Is this some sort of bug or am i missing something ?

Also "Curse enemies with despair on hit" what is the lvl of the despair which comes from this attribute ?

"Curse __ on hit" mods are lvl1 afaik

is there a reason to use reused at end instead of at max charge?

[scenic parcel]

okay, how does that help me?

[valid mist]

I press the button and it doesn't affect the mobs anyway

OH FUCK

IT ROLLED BACK THE MAP

but it still ATE the scarabs of course

GGG you cunts

I finally had my syndicate board set up, urgh

If they're going to do shit like this it should at least refund the shit you used to open it

[runic zephyr]

mate have you not heard that the servers been ddosed the entire league?

would be neat if they can make it so you dont lose your fragments or if the instance would be snapshotted but its not a quick fix right now

[valid mist]

The cause of the problems is irrelevant to the way things are done. Server side problems are not a new occurrence.

If there was a crash and rollback it should roll back to before the map was opened not erase everything you might have gained but also still consume what you spent.

[runic zephyr]

nah these kind of problems are new

[sonic field]

ooh shiny, too bad the es roll is garbo

[runic zephyr]

only thing to avoid it is make sure to go back to HO as soon as youve gotten anything good

[plush robin]

but but it got nerfed therfore baddddd

[sonic field]

still 20 c

[valid mist]

yes, major stability issues atm

[gilded bone]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Memory_thread

follow the new endgame quest you will get the new T16 memory thread maps

those are T16.5

[minor heron]

i keep losing contact with the realm man, the fuckkk

[gilded bone]

I'm so lucky no problems for like 5 days on Milan , since poe2 EA release I've been having problems on Milan and I switched to Frankfurt but then I tried Milan again and it's been 95% stable ms

yeah it really sucks , I even lost 1 div to dc on Frankfurt ,other ppl lost 10 + div , now I'm starting to make some currency more than 2 chaos an hours

[runic zephyr]

my gf dropped her first divine like 3 weeks after poe2 EA launch, servers crashed, divine gone, hasnt touched poe2 ever since

[gilded bone]

hmm this blight strat is pretty decent , for the past 3 maps I've gotten a div drop a map 😄 and a lot of other good stuff

but the fps from 140-120 usually goes to 24

lol another div drop

[bright arch]

you dont do blights properly if your assets dont disappear while doing it

[floral drum]

how can one search for open suffixes on the trade site?

[gilded bone]

Empty Suffix Modifiers

another thing , a easy way to search for any res is +#% total Elemental Resistance you put like 100-120 and you will get great results

[unique wave]

are you in australia - i keep losing contact with the realm which takes the whole instance. Happened 3 times now so i will quit for tonight and try tomorrow?

[thick kindle]

same.. im in AUS.. i keep losing maps

[minor heron]

Yep

[flint kiln]

How do I implement my mercenary in Path of Building?

[gilded bone]

I don't think you can , closes thing is to add stats like you add for AG === Animate Guardian Modifiers ===
#Curse Enemies with Temporal Chains on Hit
#Nearby Enemies have 18% increased Effect of Curses on and so on, in configuration, custom modifiers

[strong bronze]

i created a new character for mine
https://pobb.in/Rp-nwIHLcJYk

[torpid vine]

Guys, if I have a Merc with -200% Lightning Ress, I dont need him to curse enemies with ele weakness, right? Enfeeble or Temp chains would be better?

[scarlet sun]

i enjoy being able to play

[naive prism]

so the pirates fight can't be paused 🫠 lost my shipment for pizza

[floral drum]

thank you!!!

[floral drum]

ye i already figured that out

[floral drum]

i mean you cant send more shipments if you starve to death irl

[naive prism]

tru

[cursive glen]

does the server still shit itself for you guys at specific timings?

[fickle sundial]

i started lagging 30 minutes ago LOL

[gilded bone]

depends , some people here reported problems on the Australian server , I haven't had any problems for the past 5 days on Milan , before on Frankfurt I had a lot of problems and lost a div

[torpid vine]

Guys, if I have a Merc with -200% Lightning Ress with Doryani, I dont need him to curse enemies with ele weakness, right? Enfeeble or Temp chains would be better?

[summer bone]

Yes, like now

[cursive glen]

perhaps ggg is using some timebased thing where after a certain time at night the servers switch to shitty ones because they expect a lesser load

[sonic field]

i bet you croppd out S

[feral jackal]

I'm finally able to start the league later today. Are the servers issues still really bad? I saw people posting about it early League

I scrolled up half a screen and saw that it's still bad 😭

[royal elbow]

I love when the game spawns the merc close to the start of the area/map so that I don't have to hunt them down.

[viscid sapphire]

cmon server dying again ? im in a lab...

[craggy ice]

What is the best source of curse on hit for a merc?

[gray compass]

I use rare gloves with cursew/enfeeble

[rose dragon]

Conqueror influenced ring

Ele weakness, despair, flam, Frost, condu pick your poison

[gilded bone]

mine already has temp chains and I have dispair so I got Ele weakness on hit

[valid mist]

do mercs uise abyss fjewels?

also these 2-socket tombfist w/ rage and onslaught have a massive price range I have no idea wtf they're actually worth

recent listings anywhere from like 50c to a divine lol

anyone know?\

these town errors are so annoying lol

Great servers

[sterile tendon]

My merc have rings for another curse. Why dont work? I have my mark as a curse but my merc have 2 rings for additional curses, basically 3 possibble, not working. I need wear those?

[valid mist]

it does work

but it might be order related

merc needs to curse after you or something if I had to guess

[sterile atlas]

Are you expecting You can apply an additional Curse items on a mercenary to work for your own curses?

Like two curses from yourself?

[valid mist]

oh if you're trying to ahve amerc wear rings to let you curse three times that obviously doesn't work

[vale pond]

Can you see the ground effect created by merc? My merc has zealotry but he can't seem to create consecrated ground, I swap Broken Faith in but no Profane ground either. While I am still affect by his Zealotry and can create consecrated just fine

[sterile tendon]

Nah, i have one curse, mark.
And i want my merc with ele weakness work as well so... Technically 2 curses

[valid mist]

that definitely works bnecause I have that

[sterile atlas]

You should be able to see their ground effects, but consecrated-ground-on-hit is known to be disabled/bugged for (living) things that aren't the player, so that might be affecting mercs too.

[sterile tendon]

No, no 3 times. Just my mark and this ele weakness but i dont see ele weakness icon above minions. This is so stupid. Why we dont have debuffs below health bars.
And my merc looks like dont want curse normal monsters, idk

[sterile tendon]

I see ele weakness and after i shot i only see my mark

[valid mist]

Like I said, that might require for them to curse second.

You can absolutely get both on at once beacuse I run that.

[sterile atlas]

Your merc should just need one additional curse for that. Your one curse shouldn't remove their curse either. 🤔

[vale pond]

weird is, he also has minions, and his minion can create consecrated as well

[sterile atlas]

Are you certain? Because that's intentionally disabled

[sterile tendon]

Hmm... Working but not always. Strange

[sonic stirrup]

It isn't

[mint trout]

Anyone know of a dark pact setup for ssf?

[sterile atlas]

The Zealotry aura has been temporarily disabled from granting Minions the ability to generate Consecrated Ground, to improve server performance.

since 3.8

Could be procced by hits from the summoner (like BAMA?)

[sonic stirrup]

Sounds like your merc just isn't using the skill that applies a curse all that often

[vale pond]

I'm sure cause I have Broken Faith for him. I went into a map, just running around no attacking and still see consecrated ground created. If that's from my merc than it has to be Profane Ground, only other souce is his minions

[sterile tendon]

I need to fire him, then :\

[sonic stirrup]

Lul

[valid mist]

lol

'have it then, it's worthless to me anyway'

actually, you are completely right lmao

Oh my god, FUCK petrify

'totally not freeze ;^)'

[tropic breach]

anyone know if there is a bug somewhere with mines? I have them on automation and detonate mines, and it was working perfectly fine. I regeared my guy, and now they don't automatically detonate even when the automation is still on...

[rose dragon]

Are you perchance using locus mines and throwing them to close to yourself?

[gilded bone]

nice sold a 40 div map

[vale pond]

or mercs are considered minion as well and therefore are not affect by their own zealotry?

[valid mist]

idk, for the time investment abyss doesn't seem worth it

pretty long fight and you're mostly just hoping on a 3% drop rate for a 3 div jewel, best I can tell

[plucky jewel]

jesus a leveling service through tft now costs 25d? wtf

[gilded bone]

I've been doing pretty good with my blight tree 😂 64 today

[plucky jewel]

whats the strat

[gilded bone]

nothing special , I've been doing some beach T16 -100-140 quant, rushing boss and getting all altars with mf and quant , then doing the blight , the 20 fps and artifacts

I've seen that it is even better in T16.5

[open salmon]

hey guys, Area is cursed mod on memories, does it just block map device crafts or blocks scarabs as well?

[mellow tiger]

can you have two infamy mods on one item? through recomb

[tropic breach]

nah not locus mines, i think it just doesn't do it in hideout, so that's my bad. I just remember having that problem when I was using frost blink mines (which i think is actually bugged)

[gilded bone]

hmm 4 curses in total I have one and my merc 3

[dark wing]

yo someone can help with t17 map fortress ?

[cloud basin]

Which merc you guys like for rf? Malevolence guy or just the kill guys kb merc

[odd moth]

I'm currently using cyclone Merc with frenzy charges coupled with my endurance charges we slap

[tired widget]

finally got my first good merc

[gilded bone]

yeah some of them are still really strong

[onyx talon]

does merc level and infamous status matter at all?

[slate hill]

level and type seems to matter the most

[plush robin]

also you

I lost out on 2d yesterday

cause the fucker just outright one tapped me

lost 4 maps already lol amazing

[gusty current]

icant

[floral drum]

after losing the same map 3 times in a row within 30 mins, and i have to run it again in order to progress my atlas, i came here to say, i was thinking about buying the kirac pass because i still think GGG is a respectable videogame making company and they deserve the support, but after so many disconnects, losing so many map, heist, delve runs, i wont be buying the pass. Mark said that the MTX does not affect our progression nor characters' power in any way, but i come to realize it does, because if we wont buy it, the servers wont work, so we cant progress... you guys are breaking my heart.

[analog imp]

cant finish any map at he moment

[eager charm]

Me when I just start rambling on discord

[floral drum]

ye i had to

sorry

[iron fern]

4 map lost 8 div lost nice game

guys how is it possible that i got 0 coinages from 9 logbooks then i just randomly got 50 from one?

is there some modifier or mechanic or what

[obtuse solstice]

the fact this doesn't work for stuff like shield throw is funny

[dry knoll]

GGG needs to come out with another statement about servers. This is unacceptable

[obtuse solstice]

I mean why?

you know it's bad, they know it's bad, it has been addresed

[remote tundra]

yeah just play other games for now

[floral drum]

wdym why should it work

[obtuse solstice]

they are dealing with it as they can

[obtuse solstice]

you don't essentially double your damage with shield throw by using the ring

[gleaming tapir]

mate u talking like there wasnt a problem since 3 years

[dry knoll]

No. They need to continue to communicate with us, this is beyond a simple blanket statement

Game is fully unplayable for EU

[remote tundra]

idk just play other games lul

[gleaming tapir]

the fact that the lag delete all portals to the map too

[floral drum]

i cant im addicted

this is why im saying that they are breaking my heart

because i love poe1 and 2 so much

[obtuse solstice]

I mean I'll make a point by putting it this way: Would you also like a tour of their headquarters just so you can see it's not that simple? I understand it is not our job as customers to sympathize with GGG for not being able to deliver a product in an acceptable state, but my god they know it is bad and as far as it has been communicated to us it is being fixed to the best of their abilities. They are getting DDoSed and the solution to something like that is not that simple and it will take some time

[cobalt hemlock]

Servers are still cooked :/

[remote tundra]

now that there is downtime. what is everyone working on? i defeated Aul for the first time earlier today

[obtuse solstice]

Just doing map prog with a chaos zoomancer

[small marsh]

30000ms lagspike new record for me

[balmy plume]

anyone know which merc is best for elemental hit of spectrum build with hh?

[sonic field]

kineticist is always a safe choice

no gear restriction other than weapons, haste and dmg boosting warcry, ele weakness curse, very good coverage with wand attacks for on hit stuff

alternatively some archer with bleed and poison chance on bow for yoke

[abstract onyx]

are those quality added items been buffed? because I get +10% quality now

[balmy plume]

the problem with my kinetic mercs is that they kill most of my rare mobs in t17 and just ruins my hh, I'm curious if there is any tanky support archetype

[sonic field]

dont give them a good wand then

or give them southbound and the brittle helm

[past spire]

where does the dps come from on eviscerate elementalist builds? they have 300k ehp but when they do maps packs dies after 10 to 15s , is it some reflect or similar stuff?

[sonic field]

from eviscerate

ignite

it can deal tons of ignite dmg on low budget

its a fun t17 boss rusher

[past spire]

ahh ok just saw on wiki, its after blocking a hit so thats why it take a bit longer to kill stuff

ye i was planning to do one for t17 but i assume it cant do uber

[sonic field]

yeah you need to block to attack with it

and then ignite itself is dot

[past spire]

ok so you stack polaric + belt similar stuff than explo arrow use or other ignite builds

[remote tundra]

i've yet to give any loot to my merc lol

[sonic field]

then ig you run weak content

mine barely takes down blues let alone rares

also no haste

[balmy plume]

if running t17 140+ scarabs with 4 risk and nemesis you call weak content then I rly have no idea which one is hard 😄

[sonic field]

interesting

[remote tundra]

what does 140+ scarabs mean

[sonic field]

map quality or pack size not sure which

[remote tundra]

ooh

[balmy plume]

maybe im unlucky and they just cull or something but there is no such support on of it skills

[balmy plume]

its unique t17 & t16.5 modifier, you can have +XXX % chance to currnecy/scarab drop instead of just 20% quality

[remote tundra]

oh thats crazy

what does 16.5 mean exactly, does it have something to do with the originator mechanic?

i met Eagon(?) once and havent continued his thing yet

[balmy plume]

yeah originator influenced maps are called 16.5 because you can get similar mods to t17, for example

[remote tundra]

shiiet

[balmy plume]

and this is the bricked terrible one

[sonic field]

eh id be able to run it

the shaper mod is the most annoying there

the awakeners deso isnt that bad, its not those big storms fortunately

unless its different between t16.5s and t17s

[red mauve]

anybody know if memory tears can spawn in t17 maps?

[violet nymph]

Is EU better now? 30m ago it was unplayable

[remote tundra]

london seems aight

[burnt osprey]

i got this from a merc. how much do you think its worth

[fallow tangle]

Hey guys, I was hoping to get thoughts rq, my brother started league with exsang mines and now built a bleed lacerate but kind of unhappy with both, exsang is too squishy for his liking and Lacerate is very bad at clearing, the time he saves in bossing compared to exsang mines is wasted in clearing, any thoughts on respecs? Something with good survivability and good bossing? Duelist / Shadow

[violet nymph]

I'm playing Gladiator and I'm immortal. Eviscerate. Be mindful that the playstyle is not for everyone

Works with Lacerate too btw

[fallow tangle]

How does it work with lacerate?

You mean like gem swap for bossing?

Oh wait it’s the one for clearing, he is using it rn, but to depend on blocking is a bit clunky, or at least for his current stage

[soft plover]

He might like EQ vs lacerate

I always have

Jump into packs, slap the ground, move on

Lacerate's frontal playstyle has always bothered me a bit

[vagrant karma]

[frank osprey]

Is there some secret to finding certain mercenaries? I got a late start, and my build guide tells me to use the Eruptor with Determination and Flame Link. I just completed my atlas and have seen eruptor 1 time and he had neither ability.

[grand helm]

anyone know why... i put out my perfect guardian turtle corpse and it just fanishes.. is there a reason why??

[tired widget]

exile the types you don't want

[tacit goblet]

Do you guys think they will nerf the Doryanis tech soon? I am just setting it up now.

[soft plover]

do you have autocast on anything that consumes corpses

[drifting crown]

Eruptor with both Determination and Flame Link is either not possible or very very rare
