its a 79 lvl zone

waxen spire
#

Oh that isn't too bad

#

I'll probably wait until I finish the build first

#

get a 5l/rest of the int needed

light hatch
#

@copper kernel to put in a seed and see the results

violet nymph
#

@light hatch no

#

Likely wont be during the league

tiny flint
#

Does worb interact with indigon?

#

Like does it gain stacks of the damage bonus during channeling?

stiff geyser
#

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it smart to use or save the incubators?

violet nymph
#

Depends on what you want them for

stiff geyser
#

what if I dont know 😛

violet nymph
#

I would use them

#

But idk why you would save them, maybe to sell them? Idk

stiff geyser
#

but will I get better items when using them end game?

#

or is it totally random?

violet nymph
#

Rng

stiff geyser
#

Thanks! 😃

@ZushisAnneFrank I'd like to exchange my T15: (Acid Caverns) for your T15: (Summit) in Legion.

#

What depth can you find Abyssal Chambers for the 6 socket craft recipe?

#

lul wrong paste

versed dock
#

@violet nymph if i were you i would use them

#

And I feel like it's just to use them when you get them, doesn't seem like it increases a lot if you use them earlier or later

low kindle
#

so do you need to actually "leech" in order for Kaom keystone to apply?

versed oracle
#

Does anyone plays Spiderman here and have trouble breaking the legions?

marsh minnow
#

..spiderman?

sharp wind
#

I assume he means that dagger that gives spider minions.

marsh minnow
#

i thought maybe chain hook

sharp wind
#

maybe

proven wadi
#

Chain hook seems more likely

#

I know I'm having trouble with legions with my dumb flicker build

native osprey
#

Create a pvp Scion and get jewel slots to test your Timeless Jewels

keen shale
#

so Lethal Pride, can I stick that in any the main Slayer Jewel socket and I should be good regardless? are they all really different?

#

trying to figure out if its worth dropping 25c on one even though im not sure what it does exactly

leaden storm
#

@native osprey do you get challenge credit for allocated influenced nodes on a pvp char?

native osprey
#

I don't know

leaden storm
#

i need to borrow some from guild then i guess

pseudo kernel
#

What does the icon look like for legion encounters that drop 6 linked items?

copper kernel
#

nothing special afaik

pseudo kernel
#

Well, i wanna know so i can target them specifically if i see them

orchid hazel
#

there a way to find out what my jewel is good for

#

aside from using a scion

silver kettle
#

@pseudo kernel they just drop from weapon/armour icons

#

Obviously a rare result of them

pseudo kernel
#

I see, thank you! Hella nice drop then.

zealous sleet
#

does divining militant faith jewel change the 2 mods on the jewel? not the seed/name but things like aura effect and shit

placid grotto
#

Anyone else feel like Maraketh encounters and Generals have an impact on Latency times at map entrance? Each time it's high enough to have Jun/Alva and they aren't there, I've had a Maraketh encounter or a General on one side

normal kraken
#

no @zealous sleet, only the seed/keystone can be rerolled

eager terrace
#

can the keystone be rerolled?

#

I thought only the seed changed

lament dagger
#

Keystone can be rrrolled

#

It will change the name on it If it does

#

But like you might as well just buy the keystone

#

That's the only thing that's reliable about the jewels

Do you have to be the person opening the map for the 4way fight to unlock the 5map device?

#

Hi there, I have heard that legion was gonna end in 2 weeks, I wanted to know if that was true and if it is, if there was a reason for such a short league :O
Thanks guys

copper kernel
#

leagues dont end prematurely

gilded wolf
#

so it was fake news?

#

(a couple of people were spreading such info on standard global earlier)

copper kernel
#

anything global says is a lie

gilded wolf
#

you never know :p

#

good new tho

copper kernel
#

oh im sure youre better off if you just auto assume anything global says is false

#

even not being in a global chat is good

gilded wolf
#

I came there because I had some issue with my "empty only" map stashes in the first place

#

(they wont disapear)

copper kernel
#

did you relog

gilded wolf
#

but well that's not really legion related, might not flood this topic with that

#

5 times :p

#

imma go check it now

#

perhaps downtime fixed it

#

it didn't

runic basin
#

So, what's the strongest build in the game now? Asfacks cyclone build? Or something else?

low kindle
#

ahfack cyclone never was a strongest build lol

#

also what do you define as strong

prisma heart
#

in the legion 4-5 way battle, how do you reset the battle

eager terrace
#

stand near the crystal in the center

#

after about 2 seconds it respawns the entire room

#

generals have a short cooldown before they can be respawned so if you just killed one you may not respawn it

red wharf
#

is there some bug that makes legion rares stun me, despite having Unwavering stance?

low kindle
#

Do they stun you and not freeze

red wharf
#

anti freeze flask was up

#

it happened to me several times already, i think i clipped few

#

happens when few yellow mobs jump on me

#

not mana issue as well, since my leap and cyclone are mana free thanks to -mana costs

#

ive found few threads on bug forum about unwavering stance not working, but other than that, no more info sadly

gilded spire
#

Freeze is the crypto of Cyclone 😃

#

I have decided though I really hate leap slam.

#

My mouse is always out of range at the wrong time

silver kettle
#

@gilded spire click leap slam on your skill bar, toggle always attack in place

#

No more out of range mouse problems

undone meadow
#

people, where can i find what the hell do these legion jewels do?

marsh minnow
#

every seed is a little different, but if there's a repository of them its probably on poedb somewhere

knotty yew
#

I haven't seen a repository

#

I'm making a small one of my own for elegant hubrises while I hunt for one that suits my character but that's it

#

(As a side note, if anyone has a bunch of those they wanna sell, I'm game :p)

Can't get an answer elsewhere, so question is here:

Does any good, worthwhile build use Kraityn as bandit reward? I mean, I want the achievement, I've sided with Oak and Alira, but never with Kraityn. So if i wanna do that, I should probably find some decent build, yes? What would you guys recommend?

languid path
#

you can just change it with the vendor recipe later if all you want is the achievement

runic basin
#

Yeah, but do i get it that way? Are you sure? Also, it costs quite a bit, first to change it, and then change it back

#

I was thinking, better to make an alt that uses kraityn

languid path
#

I meant as, do the quest as kraitlyn

#

then change it back to whatever bandit you wanted originally

runic basin
#

Oh. But anyway, I would still like to know, is Kraityn crap or does anyone use it?

blissful onyx
#

idk what he even gives as a reward lol

runic basin
#

Attack speed and cast speed, something eelse too. some movement speed

#

6 % inc cast and attack speed, 6 % inc movement speed, 3 % chance to dodge attacks

blissful onyx
#

All pretty mediocre

#

Basically no reason to take him unless you're like, going for a max dodge/max move build for some reason

runic basin
#

So basically, the answer to my question is, yes, Kraityn is crap? 😃

#

Hmm, if i wanted the achievement, i guess i could run to act 2 super fast, kill alira and oak. Far faster than farming for 20 orbs of regret

wet plaza
#

Everything besides alira is iffy if not trash tbh

#

So most take points if not crit or alira if not super rich

proven wadi
#

They should buff the other bandits

valid bloom
#

Just take points

patent canyon
#

extra charge bandit when

violet nymph
#

Isnt that how it used to be before it was removed for being too powerful

leaden storm
#

idk about too powerful

#

more like boring and barely impactful

violet nymph
#

Chance to gain charges on kill would be a more fun option for bandits

#

Though everyone would just take 2 passives

leaden storm
#

on kill effects are boring too imo

#

people already steamroll maps

#

I have wayyyy too much time on my hands

Commentaires -> Comments since you have everything else in English.
(Looks like probably a Franco if my own writing or thoughts sometimes are anything to sample)

Cool idea though, I started doing something similar for mine too.

proven wadi
#

Man those timeless jewels are the thing I'm most looking forwards to

#

When I get far enough for them to drop

fast spoke
#

So far in my experience they're kind of neat but typically not worth building something around specifically. In most cases, just dropping a decent lethal pride or maraketh one in a high-notable spot is going to be great bang for your buck

#

Though if you do find a really cool one, you can definitely build something neat around a few of the nodes in the right spots

teal axle
#

I was going to screw with a lethal pride but there's a chance it does add X% of phys as fire or something like that and completely fucks my ele equilibrium

knotty yew
#

I'm using a timeless bleedx2+ frenzy on hit atm

#

it's pretty nice

#

frenzy on hit especially is amazing

proven wadi
#

Sounds like a flicker enabler

knotty yew
#

You'd need both I guess

#

though my uh

#

well it wasn't mine it was a guildmate's

#

but it had like 2 nodes of frenzy on hit and 2 nodes of damage per frenzy

#

the 35920

proven wadi
#

Wow

knotty yew
#

or like 1 node of frenzy on hit and 3 nodes of phys

#

idk something like that

#

lemme check

#

okay it was

#

frenzy on hit x1
damage per frenzy x1
melee phys x2
phys x1

#

so like 240% melee phys, 10% frenzy on hit, 10% damage per frenzy

#

definitely a flicker jewel x)

teal axle
#

thats pretty noice

proven wadi
#

That's great

knotty yew
#

near perfect agony

proven wadi
#

I think an ideal flicker-without-effort gem would have 2 frenzy on hit nodes at least

knotty yew
#

keystone is the charge sharing one so wouldn't recommend using the keystone haha

#

Yeah or just go raider :p

proven wadi
#

Oh yeah that exists

knotty yew
#

But yeah you'd need two frenzy on hit for comfortable any weapon flicker

#

I've also found one that's like 240% spell damage + damage per endu and that's between templar and maraudeur so I was like

#

... totem?

safe fern
#

What determines the monster level in the Domain of Timeless Conflict?

fast spoke
#

Karui notable Gain 5% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage

I don't think I've actually seen this on any nodes I've looked at lol

knotty yew
#

I've seen it a lot

#

i just don't really care 'cos I play pure bleed :p

fast spoke
#

I've had the damage taken as fire a lot

#

not the gain as extra

#

Regardless it's easy enough to just reroll it if it ends up with that on a node you actually allocate, @teal axle - I'd strongly suggest trying a few prides out since it's a very strong jewel

teal axle
#

yeah just expensive

#

divining at least

#

I'll get one eventually, like I mentioned in the other channel, belt first

#

massive upgrade for me to get that belt

fast spoke
#

tbh just buying whatever the cheapest one on the market is and chucking it in your tree will likely be worth it

#

but yeah belts are nice

teal axle
#

especially because Im mjolner lol

#

its like 20% more damage

gilded spire
#

Does anyone pay attention to leveling after 90 lol. The XP loss is just lol.... Get close to 91 and seems i magically get 1 shot for no reason...

fast spoke
#

Yes, various people play the game differently than others

gilded spire
#

Question why is -mana cost a prefix? Shouldnt it be a suffix?

midnight phoenix
#

Why shouldn't it be a prefix?

languid path
#

or why should it be a suffix?

gilded spire
#

Just seems like it should be either way My steel ring popped a 2 exalted ring for 20 chaos 😃

rocky spade
#

should I wait till I have 4 emblems till I do the thing? And if I do, is it hard? Not really sure how the thing works

eager terrace
#

doing a 4 army is good to unlock your 5th map device slot

#

depending on how geared you are yet the bosses in there might be a bit tanky but they aren't that scary incoming damage wise

#

what does this "thud-thud-thud" sounding attack does in Eternal Empire rares?

I don't see its attack pattern due to all clutter on screen, but it absolutely destroys me

Assuming a pretty good kill speed, what amount of legion emblems has the best returns per emblem used?

fallen tulip
#

I really really really want to enjoy poes build making but man

#

I need to get good at making currency

What do you mean

#

Which build

#

Most are doable without too much currency

doable and fun sometimes dont intersect

There's a good amount of affordable builds that can go far

guys, anyone has problems sustaining T2 glacier only monolith and out strategy? I have all t2 removed except glacier, t3 removed and leyline shaped. 137 atlas progression. full glacier drops not much more glacier returns, but a crapload of uncompleted connected t3. will it help if I drop some atlas progression?

tawdry badger
#

Do u sustain ever?

#

Doing that strat

#

I’ve had a guildie tell me that he can’t sustain even with all t2 t3 removed and upgrade shaped

#

With a full atlas and a stronghold

wet plaza
#

just run the other connected t3s without running the bosses and you should easily get more glacier

summer tinsel
#

I think, maybe it will be better if I shape glacier to T7 and shape atlas around it

#

cause the idea here to open map - do monolith - portal out

tawdry badger
#

I don’t think u can ever fully sustain a map doing that

#

You just end up not killing enough things

summer tinsel
#

yeah, I've thought about it

covert ibex
#

You're killing like 200 mobs max lol how can you expect to sustain

where do u get the IQ necessary to weigh these legion jewels?

placid grotto
#

Way I've found to sustain: Do Alva and Jun when they appear and sell shards/currency

#

Not 100% accurate, but that'll give you an idea

#

For shards, I sell in bulk for 5c chunks and it works well

Does anybody know, if the "on kill effects" also mean more vaal souls?

is pathfinder prolif gonna work after new patch

on frozen legion mobs

pallid quartz
#

@tawdry badger I sustain easy I went from 10 maps to 40 I only alch and go, only clear the first area

#

It was a little hard to get the sustain going had to buy ten maps after I ran out from my original 5 maps lol, but so far it's good I think I gained thouse thirty over 200-300 maps

lament dagger
#

When they say on kill effects fixed for legion?

#

Does that mean bleed explosion in frozen mobs?

#

Or its just stuff like Rampage/Blood Rage stuff

kindred dagger
#

next patch will be nice mostly bug fix but 2 new really really great adds. time freezed mob in legion will now have a proper kill interaction with skill and so AND monolith will tell if there is a general

You wont have to bother running all the time wondering if there is one or not

did legion node spawns get nerrfed?

report: after playing around with corrupted soul, I'm not sure that it's really worthwhile for a trickster to take. The ghost shrouds keep your white bar topped off either way, but the white bar is less effective at protecting your life globe. If I were to die I feel like it would be with full or nearly full ES, defeating the purpose. I'll keep playing with it to see if I feel the same way tomorrow

livid apex

Trickster has a lot of flat ES

#

Corrupted Soul seems more useful when you don't have much flat ES

compact escarp
#

when opening a monolith, i've only been targeting mobs with loot icons above their heads. is this the right way or should I be trying to kill everything?

placid grotto
#

That's what I do. Prioritize warchests, generals, rares with icons/chests, normal/magic/rare mobs in that order.

compact escarp
#

ok. i'm not sure how to spot generals but i think that's going to be fixed with the latest patch

placid grotto
#

It'll be much easier best patch

placid grotto

That's a general outline of how it looks... Generally

fast spoke
#

ha I get it because generals

compact escarp
#

generalslly

placid grotto
#

Chests generally spawn near the general so it's find the primary orientation, run to the back, kill those guys, run to the other side, kill them

No point freeing the guys by the monolith

God I hate buying maps. Every season I get to this point and its when i start to lose interest 😦 138 of 159

silver kettle
#

@gilded spire if you hate buying maps then don't buy them! You could just treat Atlas completion like you're ssf

#

Or at most buy the couple of super rare uniques that you'll never get ssf

next epoch
#

@gilded spire tried trading maps with poemap.live? I've found that a lot smoother than buying/selling

#

at least for lower maps, not sure how well it works for high tier stuff

gilded spire
#

@next epoch Will look into that. Thanks

midnight phoenix
#

Poemap.live best website

gilded spire
#

@silver kettle Point is getting a map shouldnt be so dumb. I get the no AH... But maps need a better way.

next epoch
#

There's a kind of a growing consensus that we do need an auction house for trading fungible items (i.e, currency, fossils, maps, fragments, etc)

silver kettle
#

Even GGG have acknowledged that they need to improve trading those items

#

So we'll see where that goes

next epoch
#

also I'm really curious if legion jewels were made deliberately difficult to trade 😃

midnight phoenix
#

I think they were

#

And tbh im completely fine with that

#

Game is easy enough alrdy without the ability to find and buy the perfect legion jewel in 5 minutes

gilded spire
#

@next epoch Yea I could Care less about gear... But the small items that are needed to progress is a def must.. Also when theres just to many things now not to have one

velvet ivy
#

Yo guys got a question. Is farming Burial Chambers still viable with a ton of MF gear? Or is City Square better?

#

or should I just T15/16 boss farm

next epoch
#

depends on what your goal is?

lament dagger
#

How are the on kill mechanics now against legion?

frank hound
#

hopefully working

wary smelt
#

HH now procs 2x

quiet gale
#

The reason they won't let you try is because they have probably already tried and know the jewel is shit.

#

Only the really cheap ones are interesting, cause it means someone probably hasn't checked, and bots snag those.

#

What a great feature.

#

I love my HH proccing twice now lmfao

thx ggg for buffing my hh love you

white sierra
#

how do you clear the legion mechanic with cyclone? i cant even clear half of it reliably

#

its not a DPS problem its just that theres not enough time to get all of them

normal kraken
#

sounds like a dps problem

low kindle
#

You need enough dps to pass through rares in sand stance without slowing down

#

And obviously you should have quicksilver of adrenaline, 30% ms boots and onslaught on kill

placid grotto
#

Saw something about spamming glacier maps with alcs. I thought Legion was unaffected by quantity

#

Are they? If you have 50% quant, do you get 50% more shards (so generals would drop about 10-12 instead of 6-8)

legion loot symbols aren't, legion mobs themselves are

Anyone know if it;s intentional for timeless jewels to overwrite Lioneye's Fall?

Wait didnt the patch 9.7.3 allready updated ? Like the interaction for legion encounter that trigger effect on death should be in the game right now ?

normal kraken
#

@rancid cedar yes, timeless jewels "conquer" passives, which means that they can't be modified by any other jewel

rancid cedar
#

ah dammit

gritty ember
#

@placid grotto legion doesnt just drop shards and i think glacier usually spawns legion somewhere quick to get to

i think glacier farming is about all of their drops

they do what

#

only drop shards?

#

no

#

they drop a ton of stuff

That's the majority in my experience

That or Jewelers

leaden storm
#

considering if you're not eldering glacier you're not getting many maraketh spawns in my experience

#

you gotta bank on the other drops

placid grotto
#

Maraketh spawns normally

leaden storm
#

i feel like it's more frequent in higher maps

placid grotto
#

It could be, but it takes too much setup

#

1/10 maps seems fine for me

#

Not to mention availability of maps

pastel pilot
#

i got 2 legion jewels i heard creating a pvp only scion helps you check the jewels, do i just unlock the 3 jewel sockets close to the start and put them in there? or what? and how do i price check them?

@pastel pilot i think the intent is to use the unlimited respecs to spec in to whatever jewel socket you want

next epoch
#

or create multiple LLD scions that jointly have all the sockets

So what does this visual indicator for generals look like? I haven’t noticed anything different when one was spawned.

Im really wondering if they did the update

#

They did

#

When you open the big crystal thing, if there is a general

#

There will be a big swirly misty purply thing

Pointing in the direction of the General(s)

Also what burning on death effect do you mean 🤔

though I have no idea if higher maps have more likely to hit Maraketh/Templar

next epoch
#

based on past league designs I suspect there's a level requirement for those two

placid grotto
#

this was only in Glacier (T2)

kindred dagger
#

I guess there is some map and tier where you'll most likely encounter some more than others, just a speculation

I doubt it. GGG have used those sorts of selective mechanics very sparingly, and usually with clear signposts

Anyone have a screenshot of this new mechanic thats supposed to show if a general spawns?

mellow dagger
#

No, like I'm trying to figure out where I need to place the gem to get "Ritual of Shadows" which is:
"(25-35)% increased Chaos Damage
25% chance to inflict Withered for 2 seconds on Hit"

#

But from every image I see, I'm not getting it.

gritty ember
#

not all jewels will grant it

#

its based on your seed

#

each node gets properties based on your seed

#

you can divine a jewel for a different seed

mellow dagger
#

10-4. Oh and the number of "bathed in blood" determines the size of the radius?

gritty ember
#

no

proven wadi
#

No that's the seed

next epoch
#

for all practical intents and purposes, the number is fluff

gritty ember
#

yeah its not like you can really divine it for a specific number

mellow dagger
#

Okay, I think I understand better now.

#

Question though, is the seed digit specific or is it a range?

#

So like would seed 1050 be similar to 1051 or would they be completely different

gritty ember
#

we have no idea but just assume they are all different and unpredictable

mellow dagger
#

Okay that makes a lot more sense! Ty ! I'm on the same page now.

#

"we have no idea" makes me feel a lot better. I thought I was the only one.

gritty ember
#

yeah ggg made them intentionally obscure so that you cant datamine or i guess trade them easily

mellow dagger
#

That's cool I actually really like this. It completely fucks my build up but also makes it so much stronger. So now I have found a balance but still needs way more work. Interesting mechanic!

1050 and 1051 are completely different seeds

I don't think at any point full atlas completion has been good in any league

how are people pricing their timeless jewels? and how are they selling the ones that do something good? i dont understand how these are meant to be traded

full atlas completion was good enough to buy me a headhunter early on few times

Are generals uniques usually?

next epoch
#

Yes, Legion Generals are five specific unique monsters

Gotcha. How long does it usually take for that animation to pop up after clicking the monolith? Maybe I'm rushing into it too fast..

carmine sentinel
#

how does the visual indicator for generals look like

#

it was mentioned in the patch notes

#

and can it be seen BEFORE opening a monolith?

wet plaza
#

only visible after popping it

#

general was lower right

carmine sentinel
#

hmm

#

what is the indicator here? the crystal? or the flame aura thing arond the monolith

next epoch
#

the purple aura wavey thing pointing to the right

carmine sentinel
#

oh i see it now, thanks

next epoch
#

it's not super obvious especially in game :/

wet plaza
#

its good enough if you know how it looks like imo

bit unfortunate its not longer

so you will want to wait or come back after clearing half of it

what legion thing drops you a unique 6 linked armor

Is multistrike still bugged or is the animation cancelling thing fixed?

it would never reach 3rd strike if you held button

it would just cycle 1-2-1-2-1-2

only if you have enough attack speed

pretty sure it still exists

i think cyclone is also sort of buggy with block or something like that

@safe fern it's another form of RNG, the entire game is based on RNG....

yeah it's just the jewels are such an endgame reward, it'd be nice if there was a little intentionality in them. I guess I can at least reroll with a Divine

not really, it's easy to obtain a karui jewel

and it's quite trivial to use a karui jewel on any build

if you divine a jewel

does it change the all rolls?

aka the name ones too?

@me if you got the answer

Yes, "Deshret" is considered a random modifier for this item

Notice that, if you hold Alt, "Deshret" has a range

Guys, have you noticed a drop in 5 way emblem returns?

Yh the general strat is to go in a map find the legion do the legion leave the map

#

why do anything else

placid grotto
#

you can sustain them just running Legion? I'm admittedly using T2 maps, but best I've been able to get is 1 drop/2 maps from Legion; more would have to come from either the boss or killing the other mobs

#

these are on alc'd T2 maps so 60-70 quant usually

If you have 100% chance to impale on hit and you hit with an earthquake that also has shockwave linked, do you get 3 impales (hit, shockwave gem, aftershock)?

does MF grant extra quant on boxes from legion or is it just the mob kills themselves that get extra quant?

There’s always at least one reward node in an encounter right? Or am I just that unlucky

That I didn’t see it

teal axle

I think ive seen 0s

I think its unlikely but possible

spice cipher
#

Well fuck

#

Did 10 maps this morning and 7 of those had no reward nodes. All open maps and I went from side to side

fast spoke
#

It's unlikely that 7 in 10 had no reward nodes at all

#

I think that I've ever seen 0 rewards 2, maybe 3 times

spice cipher
#

Yeah not that they weren’t there just didn’t see them

#

Must have been bad rng with only 1 node that I missed

neat fable
#

Can someone tell me if just having a HH will make your build viable for emblem fights?

#

In terms of like you clear them optimally since from what I understand it's a time based event

fast spoke
#

It still depends a bit on which skill you're using and whether you're buffing damage that's already there or just trying to create damage that isn't

#

Generally you'd want to increase the duration that you have HH buffs for to stack more of them at once so solstice vigil and self-curse temp chains tend to be important

neat fable
#

And these are specific uniques,gem combination, or some kind of rare lab/shaper enchant?

fast spoke
#

solstice vigil is an amulet, and you self-curse with shackles of the wretched

neat fable
#

Like could you slap that combination on a build?

#

Ok so it takes a belt and ammy slot?

fast spoke
#

gloves

#

(additionally)

neat fable
#

I see

fast spoke
#

A lot of people run kaom's roots with that too so that the temp chains doesn't slow you down either

neat fable
#

Are those boots?

fast spoke
#

Yes

neat fable
#

Aha

fast spoke
#

with those 4 slots taken, though, pretty much any build would be fine

neat fable
#

Its actually very doable then

#

I lose out on a free vulnerability debuff

#

From the onyx impresemce

#

But with expensive enough rings I could still get the high resists

#

Ok and on another note, which melee skill would you say is preferable in those encounters? Cause my main skill currently is lacerate

thick cosmos
#

hey guys im looking for lethal pride timeless jewels + the maraketh timeless jewel i jsut need to borrow them for challenge

neat fable

I just found out that kaoms roots would destroy any evasion based build

it's a common mistake

weary galleon
#

@thick cosmos Just buy the lowest priced one, equip it, and sell it for 1c less. It works every time.

frosty aurora
#

you probably gonna make like 10 times more than that in 60 maps

#

ehh maybe 5-8 times

sour crescent
#

Can anyone explain to me, why glacier is better than say, strand? Been running strand (as suggested by ti3n at league start), and don't feel im seeing the same returns

eager terrace
#

I think it is because frequently the monolith spawns very near to the start

#

it's not as good when it spawns in the cave section

#

but I guess it is offset enough by how frequently it is there in the first area

sour crescent
#

So if i run a qotf setup, there shoulnd't be that much of a diffrence?

midnight phoenix
#

I dont think it ever spawns in the cave section

#

So its just always a 5 second run to the monolith then 30 seconds to clear it

#

Then u ignore rest of map and go again

placid grotto
#

it does spawn in the cave. I think it's about once every 20 or so maps

#

I personally do Syndicate/Incursion if they show up and that's it

#

though lately I've been doing the boss as well

#

not sure if it's worth it; I'm doing it for the moment until I can get the Elder orb

#

but to answer your question, Glacier encounters feel larger than Strand's, which means you get more value/map. It's also usually closer to the portal. But I can see Strand being easier to sustain.

balmy dew
#

If you shape both T3s connected to glacier, it's quite easy to sustain. I usually run through the cave and kill the mobs before the main boss. Takes about 15 seconds longer, but I've got a stash tab of glaciers now

Is it possible to get a HeadHunter from a Singular Incubator?

#

tips on getting 150+ enemies freed and full clears with cyclone?

teal axle
#

be fast

#

or ask in global for an ED player to do it for you

lament dagger
#

Use Berserk

#

To become bigger and be faster do more damage

#

I have seen that doing it in Blood aqueduct is easier

#

Tigher area do Legion spawns in tigher grouping

#

Killing chests first frees surrounding enemies

#

And high movement speed and aoe is key

patent canyon
#

blood aq wont spawn 150 total

#

easier to do that on open low tier map

lament dagger
#

That's when I got it

#

But glacier great for it

wet plaza
#

blood aque did spawn 150 easily for me

#

got it while levelling my char on day 2

patent canyon
#

i guess if you spawn it next to passage to other side

#

if it spawns on the straight line there should be no way for 150

wary smelt
#

i hate when theres a wall and it spawn enemies on the other side

wind copper

You know how easy it is to accidentally enter a portal? Even though you don't directly click on it? Is there a way to configure the UI to be less portal-sticky?

copper kernel

yes

light monolith
#

do you guys think a 6L essence drain + 6L blight setup is the best for SSF 4/5 way farming? blight can do lots of single target dps

#

I find the speed of cycloner lackluster and can't get past 2 rows with pretty highend gear (for ssf standars, so no HH, inspired learning, +3 range foils, etc)

#

i'm open to any other suggestions, I do have two BLS so maybe something with that?

gritty ember
#

that should be super good.

chilly gazelle
#

what do you guys think is the better money maker right now? MF burials spam or movement speed legion spam?

copper kernel
#

burials are even more of a noob trap post nerf

chilly gazelle
#

so stay away from burials and do legion spam with MS?

#

i didnt hear about BC nerf what did they do?

copper kernel
#

HH and by extension all its sources are more rare

chilly gazelle
#

so running BC isnt nearly as profitable as legion spam now i suppose?

#

i find the legion spam kinda boring i like seeing a juicy drop every once in a while

#

but im trying to be efficient as possible

low kindle
#

Legion drops juicy items once in a while

#

Like corrupted gems and 6links

orchid current
#

burial chambers still super profitable to farm at t5

#

got my HH and 3 inspired learnings while farming BC's for a week

#

4 doctor drops out of 500+ maps

#

alch and go

placid grotto
#

I prefer Glacier for steady returns, personally. Isn't BC's average typically 1 doctor per 2-300 maps?

lament dagger
#

anyone know where I can find a carry for 5 man encounter?

#

not carry is in completion I have that already

#

carry as in someone with HH and inspired learnings who just wants to run for EXP

placid grotto
#

Huh BC would give about 2-4ex/hr assuming you can regularly get Doctors

orchid current
#

Dah i been doing carries all day long for free

#

Appreciate the math Tralf

#

Guess i got lucky with drops compared to most people

placid grotto
#

Wait crap that's before costs

orchid current
#

this was when HH was 100-120 ex and IL were 12-14ex

chilly gazelle
#

when you farmed BC did you run full MF or MS?

placid grotto
#

That's going to be a much smaller number

orchid current
#

yes full MF

placid grotto
#

What's your sustain ration for BC? 1.5ish?

orchid current
#

just no div distillate

#

Yea you can say that

chilly gazelle
#

what was your quant %?

#

do you remmeber?

orchid current
#

around 65 IIQ i believe

#

not counting windripper

chilly gazelle
#

thats really low wow

orchid current
#

Was running 6ld windripper and 6ld qotf though

#

HoI chain helped a lot with legions

placid grotto
#

HoI can chain with Legion?

#

Thought they would be too far apart

chilly gazelle
#

isnt it TS chain?

#

for monoliths?

orchid current
#

Yea sorry TS+HoI chain

#

Yes Monolith

chilly gazelle
#

did you use ventors?

orchid current
#

no 2 white pariahs

#

Will message back once i get 2 of the 5 emblem carries out of the way

chilly gazelle
#

what other quant items you used?

#

im trying to setup a TS MF right now

#

take ur time ill be hanging around

#

i got qotf and windripper devotos rigwalds and seven step, now i just need some MF wondering what items were good for that

orchid current
#

I'd drop the seven steps tbh and throw on goldwyrms

#

that's 20% quant and 40+ fire res you're missiing out on

#

my setup was Sadimas, Goldwyrms, 2 white pariah rings, biscos, and windripper

#

I didn't go for devotos at the time and bought a +2 TS mirrored helm that would cap me on my res

chilly gazelle
#

is the +2 really necessary to farm a t5 map?

#

and yeah good call goldwyrms would be a lot better

orchid current
#

it was at the time when they were selling for 3ex

#

idk what prices are now

chilly gazelle
#

for a bad helm would be 6ex min

#

how much chaos did u net p/h on avg?

#

bcz most of these alch and go MS builds are netting like 500+ not on BC

#

although im guessing 3-400+ is more realistic since the dude had mirror gear+hh

orchid current
#

Guess it's personal preference really

#

I wasn't really keeping track of that since i would run around 50 BC's and dump all my loot in quad tabs

#

I had a lot of 1-3ex item drops whether it'd be from a div card up to a 6 link

chilly gazelle
#

man ur really making me re-think running BC

#

ive just been strand spamming and its decent im making like 9-11ex per 100 maps

#

do you know how much you made per 100?

orchid current
#

I just ran BC because i had a feeling I'd drop doctors lol

#

didn't get my first one until 150 maps in

#

then i got another maybe 20 maps after that

#

can't really say how much i made per 100

chilly gazelle
#

150 maps in jesusss thats nutty

#

do you know how long it took you to run 100 or even 10?

#

see if afraid ill swap over make less money and then wont get doctor till 1k

orchid current
#

was hoarding all the currency i had until i knew i can liquidate and buy what i needed

chilly gazelle
#

basically im fomoing hard

#

yeah p much what im doing rn

orchid current
#

I guess i can say each map took about 2 mins like Tralf said

#

maybe less if i were to run on a much strict filter

chilly gazelle
#

you're really making me wana buy some quant gear and shape bc right now.. <__>

orchid current
#

haha it's worth a try

#

I'd personally leave BC as a t5 if i were you

chilly gazelle
#

just leave it done so i can get bc drops?

orchid current
#

I don't get what you're saying

#

I just uncompleted all my t5/t6's

#

shaped promenade

chilly gazelle
#

well im doing t4 rn

orchid current
#

and elder orb maze

#

so all you get are BC's

chilly gazelle
#

and i uncompleted 4/5s

#

so do you mean complete BC?

orchid current
#

ohhh

#

yea it doesn't hurt to add BC

#

i would still uncomplete all your t6's though

chilly gazelle
#

if i complete bc and dont uncomp t6s will i get them as drops from running t4?

orchid current
#

yea you still have a chance to drop 2 tiers higher

#

so you would get both t5 BC and t6's to drop from running t4's

chilly gazelle
#

Ah makes sense yeah

eternal laurel
#

im about 800 maps in with no doctor 😦

surreal elm
#

probably more worth it to go with unique incubators and hope hh drops XD

chilly gazelle
#

Lmao

#

According to mike he got 1 within 150 maps

#

Are you MF?

violet nymph
#

I did 1.2k bc before I got a doctor

#

Was running 85 quant

valid bloom
#

so i have two jewels and they're very similar

#

but one jewel has 10% chance to intimidate on hit and the other has 5% chance to deal double damage

#

which one to pick?

#

the one that has 5% chance to deal damage gives me only about 250 hp while the other gives 350 hp

#

but it also has phys damage taken as fire dmg

#

as well as reduced damage taken from critical hits

proven wadi
#

Hm chance to intimidate is like 10% more melee single target isn't it

#

Whereas 5 to double is only 5% more

royal gale
#

If you do not already have a form of increased damage taken then yes the intimidate is better

fallen terrace

#

Yes

#

I didn't recognize the name because as soon as I looked at the keystone I thought "Nope."

#

Helmets are too strong to give up for lucky crits, even though lucky crits are great. It has a use case where you've got mid-tier gear and don't want to deal with an enchant maybe and you're doing lightning crit maybe

proven wadi
#

I think I'll use the blind + 25% more crit chance instead

#

its basically the same thing but my build gets no downside

fast spoke
#

crit multi*

#

wait

#

it is chance

#

Whooops

proven wadi

it'll help since I'm using a unique staff without high base crit chance

#

my

proven wadi
#

How to you even know which one you want besides keystone

kindred dagger
#

Because you go on wiki and you can see informations

#

And the keystone itself is enough, then there is the number but you can try to randomise them yourself, but there isnt even have the one i need.................................

sour fox
#

If you can find the right base with the wrong keystone name, you can divine until you get the right keystone. I did that for doryani since the base with the wrong name was 1/3 the price.

kindred dagger
#

this life just fond new ways everyday to shit on me

low kindle
#

Divining changes the name

#

Well ofc there isn't the number you need because there's like 100000 different numbers for each jewel

radiant swift
#

is there a downside to constantly respawning mobs in 5 ways emblems? like i have my friend just constantly respawning the map as soon as its possible for him (and i just go around killing shits, nonstop*)

kindred dagger
#

Seems no one had done listing for now but for what i saw in video and so maybe the number could be by ranges, like 0-1000 gives one bonus, 1001 -2000 another and so on

we're still on our early tries, so kinda wondering if we can make the runs more profitable

3 with no inspired or hh

#

5 with

Pretty sure you'd make more profit selling the emblems, if you don't run HH or some speed farming build

The 3 cheapest emblems are p cheap

#

Not that awful to spend if you wanna invest in league content

misty phoenix
#

Is there any act 1-10map that is used for monolith farm?

Or maps simply better?

teal axle
#

glacier seems to be the best. some people like city square.

#

quarry is, imo, the "best" campaign area but its not better, just cheaper to run if you havent set up your atlas

placid grotto
#

I don't think you can easily find the spawn in Quarry

lone prawn
#

Anyone tried headhunter with ED/Contagion on 5 way emblem fight?

placid grotto
#

I think Bridge or Foothills would be better

#

They're linear and pretty close; Quarry could be in any direction, 2-3 screens away from the WP

midnight phoenix
#

Spawn in quarry is same few places every league mechanic always is

#

Bridge sucks

placid grotto
#

Not this league

midnight phoenix
#

Sometimes ur spawn is the other side

#

Na it is i farmed it in ssf a bit

placid grotto
#

You could see all Cavas spawns part league

#

And Niko/Alva

midnight phoenix
#

Its never more than a screen or two away and u can see it about half the time u load in

placid grotto
#

From the area immediately around WP

#

However, things like Fortifications with Jun or Monolith can't be easily seen

midnight phoenix
#

Foothills is alright too

#

Dont run harbour bridge tho it sucks half the time

placid grotto
#

I agree but some people like it

#

It's awkward to reset

midnight phoenix
#

Its only ok for experience

haughty marsh
#

Is it a known bug/issue that you randomly get kicked out of the game during emblem fights and when you log back in all your portals are gone?

gritty ember
#

its an instance crash, they have fixed a lot of them but its possible that you have an undocumented one. you could check the bug report forums or make a new report there

haughty marsh
#

did that already but my emblems are gone now, fml

gritty ember
#

yeah rip

radiant swift
#

dont incubate stuffs while doing emblems

next epoch

I think there's some kind of bug with incubators hatching in general

radiant swift
#

Yeah, its just that there's more to lose for you, if its gonna lag/crash you during emblems

twin fjord

which map to elder, mausoleum or leyline?

any incubators worth running for glacier runs, i wanna buy some to have 9 running all the time 😮

should be able to buy for 3-4c and turn it into a 5-15c fossil

hmmm just ran a map to see how much stuff gets killed doing Legion and then boss, not really stopping to kill stuff. I think T2 Glacier has about 400-600 monsters including Legion. Over 1k if you get Alva

and inc ice nova gives them better damage to do so (for Vaal Ice Nova)

yea the vaal ice nova farming seems very stronk

They do, with pack size

I never feel like they're bigger or anything but I'll pay attention to that over the next few maps I do with rampage to count em

Guys where can i sell a 5way embelm set as a whole ?

rare crystal
#

If anyone's wondering, this is the loot from 50 shaped glaciers, alch and go + abyss mod. Full map clear. Started with 4 maps.
I anso ran dapth 400 delves with the sulphite and cracked monoliths from zana's missions. Full monolith opening beacuse ED.

TL:DR : Don't farm shaped glaciers, there's no point. Farm t2 ones.

gritty ember
#

what about this tells us not to run shaped ones?

rare crystal
#

if you ever saw loot from non shaped ones, you'd know it looks exactly the same ^^
this is pretty much twice as slow tho, you need to clear the grotto most of the time to sustain maps. Not worth it.

#

This is money tho and worth farming, don't get me wrong. But t2 is better.

royal gale
#

Ye I mean to be fair we know that map tier doesn’t have a measureable impact on loot

rare crystal
#

I couldn't actually find any info on that.

royal gale
#

That’s pretty common game knowledge

rare crystal
#

Also, There is definitely more rares with symbols in monoliths as you go up in tiers

royal gale
#

It’s one of the biggest criticisms of the current atlas structure

#

Yeah that’s the case for legion specifically

#

So that part is true

rare crystal
#

and incubators drop better loot at higher tiers. Excepts I got a grand total of 0 incubators where tier matter.

#

hence, t7 glacxiars make no sense

royal gale
#

For a long time it’s always been better chaos per hour to run low tier maps

#

Not to mention white sextants vs yellow or red

rare crystal
#

that's indeed a big thing

royal gale
#

Yeah it’s kinda interesting that high tier maps aren’t really incentivized but perhaps that will change

#

Or maybe it won’t

rare crystal
#

to be fair

#

uber elder farming is usually really good, it's just eclipsed by glaciers/alleways atm

#

especially now that starforge is 8ex

#

Also, t16+ maps always have that chance to drop that huge shaper/elder atlas base that's worth a ton

#

(it's not like I carried someone who looted an elder astral lvl 86 and tipped me 5c:'()

#

anyways. time to sleep. bye ^^

I'm not certain higher level incubators drop better loot

#

are all these insane mana modifiers on item going to be taken out for next league?

copper kernel
#

What do you mean

haughty harbor
#

-mana cost most likely

pallid beacon
#

isnt it mostly just insane because cyclone is a channel skill and doesn't cost much mana to begin with?

marsh minnow
#

base cost of 2 i think, doesn't scale up ether since its an attack

calm sonnet
#

sorta glad i splurged and bought a nice double -mana cost ring early on

#

-15 mana on a single ring, frees up my other ring to stack resists and what not

#

thougoh some of the legion mechanics still end up blowing me up

#

especially in t14+

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

placid grotto
#

The mana cost craft will likely be neutered as will Cyclone

#

And ED/C, ironically

#

Though if Legion weren't the mechanic and something like Betrayal was (where clear isn't as important), EDC would be left alone

lament dagger
#

also time for a Tornado shot nerf feels like

or just buff and tweak up the other bow skills

They should make wander not a pain

next epoch
#

-mana rings aren't the problem with cyclone though. if it weren't for that people would just dip into mana on hit or mana leech or something

placid grotto
#

It doesn't matter if the rings are a problem or not; only what GGG perceives as a problem. Similar the (initial) Raging Spirit increase in mana cost last league

Anyone know what builds are good for 5-way legion farming? Is it just cyclone or TS with HH?

I got my first abyssal depths yesterday. It was alright. Got a crappy stygian vise

#

In a perfect situation, how many mobs does Vaal Arc hit? At max level it chains 9 times, and the skill says "Each time the beam chains it will also chain simultaneously to a second enemy". So does it double with each leap and end up hitting 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32... + 512 = 1022 mobs?

#

(I'm adding Vaal Arc to my Storm Brand build to help with monolith clearing)

marsh wyvern
#

@safe fern did you figure it out? by the wording i would guess it can hit 27 or 28 at once. like it has one free chain per primary hit/chain. thats the way i interpret it. however i am not sure, but if you tried it let me know what the results were.

safe fern
#

It definitely hits more than 28

marsh wyvern
#

awesome, maybe it does hit like 1k heh

#

ive honestly never used to to say

safe fern
#

it sort of looks like it does, and I found some discussion on Reddit speculating it should. no confirmation.

marsh wyvern
#

oh shit wow that looks like it hit everything

#

thats interesting

safe fern
#

Normal Arc doesn't have exponential growth, the description says "Each time the main beam chains it will also chain to a second enemy, but that secondary arc cannot chain further." So that gets you to your 28 or so.

shell lion
#

Will you guys alc your glacier maps or just run them as normal quality

safe fern
#

Vaal Arc doesn't have that restriction on chaining further: "Each time the beam chains it will also chain simultaneously to a second enemy, but no enemy can be hit twice by the beams."

#

that "no enemy can be hit twice" helps force the Vaal Arc to spread further. But it also limits the amount of damage any single target takes. I'm up to about 100,000 average damage per hit (according to PoB)

marsh wyvern
#

that looks like it would make a good farmer build

safe fern
#

it's helping me, I think. Storm Brand is great as a primary damage spell but it doesn't spread fast enough to unfreeze a whole Monolith spawn.

#

mostly I'm trying to work out whether I need Chain Support to boost it to 11 chains. if I'm right and Vaal Arc already hits ~1000 mobs, I certainly don't.

wet plaza
#

theres no reason to ever NOT alch your maps imo

#

youll get that investment out easily

placid grotto
#

I do alc and go for T2 Glacier. Without Shaper orb and ~60% Atlas, I'm at about 50% sustain

safe fern
leaden storm
#

eh

#

it's not really clever, it's just the way you sustain maps

#

atlas strategy etc

safe fern
#

sorry to have bored you with something you already know. it was clever to me.

wet plaza
#

Uncomplete all T4 maps. This is really only important if you plan to boss kill on Glacier in addition to doing the Legion.

#

at that point just shape it to t7

#

impossible to not sustain t7 with boss

midnight phoenix
#

Uncompleting t4s is a colossal waste of time

fast spoke
#

even with complete t4s he drops t1 99% of the time because bosses prefer adjacent maps

#

I should probably shape my t1

#

:\

#

I don't normally kill the boss though so 🤷

sterile fulcrum
#

,.wat

#

“Impossible to not sustain t7 with boss”

#

explain

#

Even when shaped the boss still drops t1-t3

teal axle
#

they're fixing that in the newest patch

#

its in the patchnotes

#

oh this was 6 hours ago lol

formal vale
#

@safe fern I'd say the strength with Vaal Arc is not its hit damage but it's potential with Ignite Proliferation. Since Ignites are not based on hits you can also add Chain Support to arc w/o reducing the ignite damage, rather the extra chains will scale the Ignite due to Arc's damage multiplier per chain and Ignite Proliferation will spread the first hit's Ignite to all other enemies since it will be the highest DPS. The extended reach of Vaal Arc with Chain Support will, despite the extra damage from +2 chains, naturally come at a cost of a potential other support gem.

#

Anyhow, I got another question for y'all: Is there some kind of compilation of the Timless Jewels' non-keystone passive effects in relation to position/seed roll?

copper kernel
#

nope

stuck basalt
#

Are all the jewels shit?

#

I got a few but they seem worthless

frosty aurora
#

The modifiers granted by passive skills that are conquered by Timeless Jewels are now displayed underneath the native modifiers that it grants.

#

das cool

placid grotto
#

The problem with Arc is the same as EDC; past a given radius, monsters can't take damage. This is typically where Generals and rares are. Except unlike EDC, Arc is nearly instantaneous so you can't help it along after casting

frosty aurora
#

timeless jewels are like lotto

#

you need some website now to make people input with someone's above approval and based on numbers you decide if you win or not

A couple of questions about legion domain encounter: Are generals on a cooldown? do you need to hit the center to trigger them or just Wait a fixed amount of time?

silver kettle
#

They can't res for 30 seconds after dying

violet nymph
#

For glacier farm do you shape it or just break all map links and run it as t2 through the monolith?

placid grotto
#

Uncomplete so other T2s. If you have Elder Orb, use that and Shaper Orb on connected T3's then uncomplete all others. Otherwise, I think you can leave T3's completed for more chance T1->T2

brave ember
#

shape alleyway leyline, elder mausoleum, uncomplete all other t2 and t3

honest dune
#

Leyline* alleyways should be removed aswell as all other t2

right, leyline

hi, i was wondering if the legion monolith mobs can drop every unique in the game or if they have a specific loot table of uniques they drop

copper kernel
#

some drop everything

#

most dont

barren sierra
#

is it worth to kill generals in legion 5 way?

#

takes a long time instead of killing regular mobs

leaden storm
#

it's not worth doing the 5 way if you're not doing the generals and killing them instantly

#

better to sell your keys

#

if you wanna do it for fun then whatever

#

but you're wasting money

merry comet
#

God im having fun with most stuff in this game, but chimera smoke phase and the maraketh flicker mobs just boycott my fun ....

#

/rantover

#

just getting oneshot from outside my screen

barren sierra
#

killing generals instantly? god how much dps do you need for that

#

i do have a headhunter but they still have a fuck ton of hp

vast gazelle
#

you need a hyper optimized dps setup and/or to be on lowtier maps to do that

#

also

#

i think he meant he was getting one shot

merry comet
#

Is there any gem setup for ES/Caster that would make me more resistant to these bursts? maybe something to switch into when doing legion encounter

#

?

#

Cast on Damage taken / Immortal Call maybe?

royal gale
#

if you're dying during chimera smoke phase you just want to be faster or bring a quicksilver if you aren't running one

#

or a movement skill

#

but yes a cwdt setup would help

vast gazelle
#

against legion rares, if you don't have it:

#
  1. basalt flask, dying sun or taste of hate can be effective defensively if you need it
  2. if you have 2 flasks to swap around, sorrow of the divine + a life flask for burst heal can also be good (not feasible for all builds)
#
  1. using shield charge or leapslam as appropriate with fortify-faster attacks to have fortify up
merry comet
#

im running ed contagion with reserverd hp, so life flask is no use. stibnite is an idea tho

vast gazelle
#

ok skip that one yeah

#

basalt or stibnite is good defensive option, um

#

ensuring you have proper EHP (around 7k eff life after MoM, or 10k ES for pure ES build)

#

so that you have time to react

#

leech is hard for you too...

#

(though i did recommend sorrow of the divine for a reason)

#

hm

#

endurance charges are a strong add if you can fit generation somewhere

#

if not at least get the fortify going

#

that + ehp + flask swap will be the bulk of what gets you there

merry comet
#

sorrow of the divine looks nice, good idea. i mean for chimera i just need to time to survive till i unveil him and for legion cwdt is probably the idea against 3-4 melees jumping on me.

#

ill experiment a bit

vast gazelle
#

yee

#

gl!

merry comet
#

ty

royal gale
#

just watch your mods on guardian maps, don't be afraid to reroll

vast gazelle
#

also consider block and rumi's concoction

merry comet
#

yeah i do that already

#

😄

vast gazelle
#

possibly reconfiguring to fit a glancing blows karui jewel

#

not joking

#

75% attack block is pretty solid when its reducing half of incoming damage

merry comet
#

Currently on a rather high dps setup with only 6k es, but that is pprobably the struggle. dps or survivability ^^

#

maybe i just need to git gud

vast gazelle
#

xd

royal gale
#

nah 6k es is like extremely low for guardians

#

that would explain why

merry comet
#

the others are not really a problem because movement just avoids all dmg, just chimera has that undodgable slash

vast gazelle
#

^

merry comet
#

On that note, why does the light mechanic with hp even exist? dark maps are horrible and putting a point into ES Light feels sop wasted

vast gazelle
#

its mostly a thematic thing to give a sense of drama to staying on low life

#

does feel weird that arcane vision is needed though yeah

merry comet
#

do es builds use arcane vision or just live with the darkness?

royal gale
#

they usually take arcane vision

proven wadi
#

Ci prevents it too I think

merry comet
#

probably because youre always on full hp with ci, right?

proven wadi
#

Yea

merry comet
#

with reserving im basically always low life

royal gale
#

or you can use incandescent heart

#

merry comet
#

just saw i had some points taken for HP, so i respecd got 1k more ES and Arcane Vision xD

A gift from my former, forgetful self

they said in the update note something about better seening if general is present .. was that only for timeless domain or also for monolith encounter ?
