midnight kraken
#

but at least quality stats have "increased" on gems

#

Ooh

#

Just realised that PoB has something like "Show minion stats" in "calcs" tab, so I can see base min-max dmg for minions on every gem level

#

But I guess most of the data is outdated because of new scalling if there is any

dusty umbra
#

I'm possibly considering brutal restraint keystone for poison build marauderthinking

#

lucky damage from crits means it's hits upper range of damage range right?

midnight kraken
#

y

patent canyon
#

it rolls twice and picks higher number

dusty umbra
#

So if damage range is like 5k-10k

#

it's like ~20% damage increase?

#

asspulled numbers

patent canyon
#

pulling stuff out of my ass as well it should theoretically make range 7.5k-10k

#

and avg of those 2 would mean like 16% damage increase

dusty umbra
#

thanks

#

Not bad given abysus is only ~13% dmg increase

languid path
#

if your range is really 5-10k then lucky dmg is more like 11% overall

#

the rough estimation formula is ((2*max+min)/3) / (max+min/2))

dusty umbra
#

templarthumbsup downside of brutal restraint is still smaller than abysus

bitter ledge
#

Hey guys, qusetion about the Patch notes

#

"Upon defeating the Mastermind, the Betrayal board state is reset to a similar number of members and relationships as the starting state. However, Safehouse Intelligence is no longer reset upon defeating the Mastermind."

patent canyon
#

abyssus is suicide helm tho

bitter ledge
#

What is ment by the "starting state"?

#

Do they mean that all of the members and relationship will just be gone?

dusty umbra
#

Helmets look so boring for poisons, only thing that does looks any close to what i'd use is either lightpoacher or -chaos res + abys socket rare

patent canyon
#

well i am going bow so i have devotos templarthumbsup

dusty umbra
violet nymph
#

lol i was thinking soul of steel would be the hardest notable to anoint... then I look at the table.. triple golden oil

patent canyon
#

starkonja should be better for you

dusty umbra
#

i just put devotos for movespeed there

#

im going cobra lash, but haven't decided on last two ascendancies to take

patent canyon
#

ass?

dusty umbra
#

ye

#

all 3 look good enuf to pick

#

Culling / crit, vs 20% move speed, vs perma 4 power charges

patent canyon
#

i wouldnt pick the crit one

#

respec into oppurtunist after you get decent crit on gear

dusty umbra
#

yeah im leaning on that one as well

violet nymph
#

I'm not sold on elusive being that good, seems just like onslaught, taken more for the movespeed

dusty umbra
#

lol you're forgetting no dmg from crits

#

and reduced dmg

#

which are best parts of it

patent canyon
#

and a way to reset it with withering step

dusty umbra
patent canyon
#

yeah its pretty much capped dodge just with acro and elusive

violet nymph
#

ok maybe some ways better than onslaught 😛

patent canyon
#

why not both? 😛

dusty umbra
#

^

#

onslaught abyss jewel with blind

patent canyon
#

a bit iffy with poison

#

since DoT doesnt proc it

dusty umbra
#

cobra lash is projectiles that will proc it

#

should be an issue

#

im also planning to run 6th link fork

dire delta
#

gyre assassin anyone?

patent canyon
#

its just that the cobra proj has to kill

#

not the dot from it

dusty umbra
#

blind is on hit tho

#

onslaught ya

patent canyon
#

but yeah i will try onslaught jewel for a bit as well

#

maybe it will be reliable enough

dusty umbra
#

worst case i replace my 5th flask

patent canyon
#

already planned for it to be silver in there templarLul

dusty umbra
#

yeah i was debating that too

#

silver vs onslaught if i dont get it another way

violet nymph
#

Teal Oil Violet Oil Black Oil Essence Sap
easy (attack) mana leech anoint for leveling

#

nother good one
Azure Oil Azure Oil Crimson Oil Holy Dominion

mental apex
#

Assuming I have a free mana spot for it, running brutality, banner and vulnerability, and pride already

Would skitterbots be a good aura for the shock/chill? Or would that be a waste

dusty umbra
#

flesh and stone with maim is prolly more for phy build

violet nymph
#

I've no idea about their AI... they might not approach enemies as you expect, without there being mines near them

mental apex
#

I already have lvl1 maim chest 🤔

#

If my melee mains, and flesh and stone mains, do they both take effect?

violet nymph
#

doesn't seem like it. you can support F&S with maim for greater %phys taken though

mental apex
#

Not enough gem slots for that 😅

violet nymph
#

the wiki says it does stack but reddit comments say it doesn't

mental apex
#

I doubt it would so that's what I'll continue sticking to

patent canyon
#

wiki > some reddit idiots

violet nymph
#

I'd think it doesn''t just because shock doesn't, the greater shock replaces weaker ones

mental apex
#

And they both say maimed by "this skill" or "supported skills"

#

So yes to skitterbots. Hopefully my 25 other minions will still let them get close enough to bosses to actually shock them.

distant osprey
#

do we know how to get oils/how rare each oil is?

#

curious how hard it would be to get the annointment i want while leveling

#

is it just random what oil type you get?

fallen tulip
#

Minion miner?

icy pawn
#

Maim does not stack. If there are two or more maims affecting a target, then the maim with the larger effect is used.

odd kelp
#

can anointed notables be allocated on the tree as well as the item?

midnight kraken
#

I guess yes, but it won't double the effect

#

it will just allow you to pass past this tree and continue

odd kelp
#

i guess

midnight kraken
#

Propably the first major bug will be when someone allocates a passive, then tries to build a tree behind that notable and then removes the amulet from inventory and whole tree becomes fcked

undone timber
#

Annointed allocates the node? Or just gives the stats? I suppose it is the 2nd

midnight kraken
#

The word is "allocates"

odd kelp
#

you likely can't path from it tho

midnight kraken
#

Ye propably

undone timber
#

Woa so you can build the tree with a detached branch?

midnight kraken
#

Dunno

#

Propably no because it would piss Scion off

undone timber
#

I mean like scion ascendancy

midnight kraken
#

ik

undone timber
#

Yeah thats true xD

midnight kraken
#

You play scion, start from shadow start via ascendancy and also from templar side via allocated life notable

#

and wear 4 league-specific uniques and you also grab 5 other places with life

#

lol

undone timber
#

Super xpensive problably

#

On the other hand, few ppl could achieve that in league, so maybe its not a problem

midnight kraken
#

I guess oils won't be rare, except golden/silver ones

undone timber
#

But the uniques?

midnight kraken
#

Ah you had uniques in mind

#

Ye they should be rare

#

We still don't know 2 pieces right?

undone timber
#

Ye

midnight kraken
#

I bet they are body and gloves, but basing on the league annoucement "Wearing full set you can allocate even 5 passives", while helmet gives you 2, I guess it'll be amulet as well

undone timber
#

If you can path from those nodes... We are going to see really crazy shit trees

#

Which is cool imo

tidal path
#

You cant path from them

midnight kraken
#

Let's say there's a chance equal of I'll drop a mirror this league that we'll be able to path from them

tidal frost
#

Mirror is higher

midnight kraken
#

Well my brother dropped a mirror on blood aqueduct when he was lvling up his MF TS deadeye so ehm

#

It was the last time he used that character I think

#

It was in mmm, incursion?

#

If my minion skills gain +2 lvl global, will it increase lvl required to socket it and trigger by CWDT?

patent canyon
#

socket, no

#

trigger, yes

midnight kraken
#

uh

#

So I need to reduce my gems level even more?

fast spoke
#

Or raise your cwdt yeah

vague fossil
#

@midnight kraken it has been said that we won‘t be able to oath from them, sadly I can‘t remember were

distant osprey
#

is there a way to target farm specific oil types? do specific ones drop from specific maps or kinds of encounters?

#

im guessing we just dont know yet?

lean lark
#

Inspiration charges last how long by default?

torpid sonnet
#

Presumably 10 seconds, that's the default for other charge types

lean lark
#

If that were true there would have to be a cap on the number of charges you can gain right?

native sonnet
#

5 max

dreamy spoke
#

does anyone know what implicit the new ring base types have? poedb shows them but doesn't have art or details yet

midnight kraken
#

What exacly feeding frenzy grants

#

besides the gem mod for more minion dmg

silver kettle
#

10% more minion damage, 15% increased minion move/attack/cast speed

midnight kraken
#

More minion damage global?

#

no wait

#

more, or increased?

silver kettle
#

More, and global

midnight kraken
#

aw shit

#

Also

#

If I'm using a gem with blood and sand stance, which stance am I in by default?

#

without using "blood and stance" gem

wild arch
#

Blood

compact junco
#

hmmm, i think i have an issue. my zombies cost 137 mana and i have 25 mana regen per second, lol

wild arch
#

I'm pretty sure it said that on the gems

compact junco
#

hopefully I will not need to resummon them very often :d

silver kettle
#

Zombies shouldn't really die at all if you're actually a summoner

#

Especially if they have defensive links

midnight kraken
#

New gloves with minion dmg conversion is a build reworker

#

You either can go pure elemental minion summoner with cool mods, or chaos dmg minions with insane dmg lol

#

Just need to hit that 4 white sockets

#

If I'll hit something like that, I'll definitly try them with vendigo flicker strike spectres lol

wet plaza
#

whats special about chaos

midnight kraken
#

Aren't enemies have less chaos dmg than elemental/phys?

lilac lion
#

no

hot gyro
#

can i replace now the content.ggpk ?

patent canyon
#

yeah

#

just dont open game

hot gyro
#

thanks

fallen tulip
#

what happens if u open the game with new content.ggpk

patent canyon
#

you update back to 3.7

fallen tulip
#

oh

#

rip

midnight kraken
#

Ways to

#

apply a curse as an attacker summoner?(dominating blow)

fallen tulip
#

blasphemy?

midnight kraken
#

except self cast, as aura, CWDT and curse on hit gem(it doesn't work with minions sadly 😦 )

kindred dagger
#

That pretty much alwyas have been an issue with zombie, they cost a lot of mana and with reservation you often dont ahve the mana to re summon

#

or even if you have the mana as you dont invest much in mana itself you run out of mana before you summon them all back if too much dies

midnight kraken
#

Is there a punishment/vulneability on hit on rings?

fallen tulip
#

nah but i think theres a corruption for gloves?

lyric ore
#

the website going down before a league start is so stupid

kindred dagger
#

they need to update so

lyric ore
#

yeah but the website

#

what other website goes down for maintenance

kindred dagger
#

the wexsite is tide to the game they share info and so

lyric ore
#

Right before the league is when people want to look at things the most, like I wanted to check gems again

kindred dagger
#

I dont think there is much other website that are related as much with their game

static token
#

Ya, that should not be the case. They have stated multiple times it's something they need to fix.

kindred dagger
#

But yeah i agree they should probably have a backup site somehwere where you can still see league info and so i guess

midnight kraken
#

I've got a challenge for you guys

wild arch
#

Make a non minion/poison build? templarLul

midnight kraken
#

Play with uber-very-strict item filter from Neversink from the beginning

wild arch
#

Where's the challenge?

midnight kraken
#

In the amount of early game items missed

#

Not sure if even chaoses are showed up

#

Guess your first drop would be divine/exalted orb lol

patent canyon
#

the only difference would be instead of seeing all trash and ignoring it you would not see it and ignore anyway

midnight kraken
#

How much time would you survive with a feeling that you actually might not see goldrim dropped or other great unique for early

#

Or fkc that and let's everyone play in russian language lol

#

or korean lol

#

and post toucans on their global chat lol

#

Anyone knows if Chaber Caim will get the QoL update for socketed->all gems?

wild arch
#

But what if you understand Russian or Korean tho? marauderthinking

kindred dagger
#

wow i didnt check much but the new tree is awfull for minion they are split nodes everywhere forcing you to take a lot of but like a lot stat nodes so much more than before

fallen tulip
tidal frost
#

That's how the old tree was. Old stuff is where it used to be. New stuff added

dusty umbra
#

@wild arch i do understand russian , eez 😄

#

I'd prefer to learn Japanese over Korean tho

wet plaza
#

New tree actually has some limited choices old tree was just take 40ish nodes and get all minion stuff done

#

That was super boring imo

lucid stone
#

Minion wheel below templar is...weird

teal axle
#

its a wheel that used to be in the inner scion wheel but got moved out, and scion got the weird "no bleed"/"less mana cost" stuff

#

it screwed my pathing up a lot but its too good of a wheel to ignore via an annoint

pale depot
#

sorry this isn't Blight specific but I'm looking for some help with a specific mechanic: does anyone know how spell echo + spell cascade works together? let's say for VD in a Pledge of Hands - normally it consumes 3 corpses, but with spell cascade it would consume 9 (right?). Then the spell repeats twice due to Greater Spell Echo. Are the repeats also affected by spell cascade? for 9 * 3 = 27 corpses? Or are they unaffected for 9 + 3 + 3 = 15 corpses? (x-post from #1┃endgame-help)

narrow coyote
#

Is blight released on xbox?

daring tulip
#

boot it up, did it update?

grizzled moth
#

Blight is 4 days away on console

#

If it is still the 10th

kind hornet
#

do we know if its possible to have 2 of the same skill point

#

one o tree one on ammy

#

and will they stack

#

or is that useless

pale depot
#

probably useless

dusty umbra
#

will be useless most likely

midnight kraken
#

We start in 50min or 1h 50min?

pale depot
#

the latter

dusty umbra
#

^

wary smelt
#

wait so the +1 minion gem levels is only for active minion skills?

ember violet
#

that's correct

celest atlas
violet nymph
#

@celest atlas

celest atlas
#

😉

violet nymph
#

so uhhhhh

#

have we figured out yet if there will be an indicator to the blight lanes?

#

but is there actually a way to tell which is which ?`

celest atlas
#

was wondering that too

#

saw a vid there someone explained a lot about al that but he also didnt know anything about which is which

#

just that you see that kind of damage works best

violet nymph
#

yeah grimro mentioned it , thought i ask if someone knows anything more yet

celest atlas
#

ahh ja so i watched the same

#

just didnt found hsi vid and didnt know his name

light apex
#

soo

#

anyone else get a full on OS hang on first interact with blight ?

west fiber
#

OH FUCK OFF, I logged in played... and then game crashes and did another patch... now gotta wait 30k people to join

#

fuck this

light apex
#

ah same boat as me then :))

proud rapids
#

So, have we figured out how to tell which towers to build?

stray basalt
#

3 times crashing while enterring coast .. and back to que again ... wp

#

ffs

dusty umbra
#

cobra lash looks nice so far

elder night
#

no drag and drop rip

quaint halo
#

does infernal legion work with srs?

eager charm
#

It should

wet plaza
#

it does

still mural
#

the symbols on the portals are what the enemies those portals spawn are resistant to, right?

torpid sonnet
#

I believe so, yes

violet nymph
#

wow

manic frost
#

current opinion on blight : it seems shit at first but once you get the hang of it you should start seeing the potential. The fact that you want to upgrade & add towers while defending , and not always at the expected places makes it a lot less boring than it could have been. If the number of spawns/paths etc keeps increasing it's gonna be hectic (and fun?!) in maps

#

as far as value per time tho, it's definitely less than Legion at least so far

celest atlas
#

uhi so i guess i made it wrong doing the same as the ssymbols ... but still easy wins on the first few acts

manic frost
#

location is also a big deal

#

blight in fully open areas can fuck you bad

#

blight in tunnels & other tight areas with only one or two ways to go are pretty easy to deal with

#

which means toxic sewers & co might actually be desirable for blight

#

unless it reduces the # of spawn, hard to say while leveling

normal sierra
#

I think Legion was a bit too one-dimensional

#

Blight has some interesting mechanics

raven peak
#

For the new oils , does it add the node to your tree or how does it work? Ie if your running might of the meek and it would normally not give stats does it work?

signal ivy
#

U apply the node on a amulet(or To some new unique)

#

But for the interaction im not sure , since its like a buff i guess it probably work but for now im not sure

jovial arrow
#

Anyone else not encountering Blight when in a party?

signal ivy
#

Playing in a party no problem getting blight

#

Sound like a weird problem

jovial arrow
#

yeah 😦

tough musk
#

so.....huh...I'm getting the feeling that I chose poorly with my build this league by picking....literally anything elemental. because every last one of the mobs spawned by the mechanic is elemental resistant....

#

Other than that though....I'm liking this one...which means there's no way it's going to go core because everything I like the community at large thinks is trash.

next epoch
#

Cassia definitely needs more songs. Getting real tired of "Burning Away Our Sins".

manic frost
#

yeah cassia's gonna get old fast

placid grotto
#

I can see that going for the whole league unless blighted maps are interesting

#

Or unless you can farm it repeatedly

kindred dagger
#

feeding frenzy n zmbies feels prety good you just walk and let them fight, i just put a 4L set up for pex with zombie / phantasm / minion speed / feeding frenzy fun i guess i coudl remove at some point phantasm (and i will) by anything like splash or else

#

oh and the carrion golem is a crazy wild beast 😄

still mural
#

I'll never get tired of TO ASH!

#

also idk if it's just cause I'm overleveled because league mechanic but flame spectres + zombies make TD pretty easy

cloud ivy
#

man i got oils on like my very first bligh encounter and havent gotten one on a successful one since

kindred dagger
#

yeah for now blight is easy especialy with minion im curious to see how they will get later on, but i allready saw some minion run faster or so so tower wil clearly be useful at some point at least he frozen one like expected

kindred dagger
#

feeding frenzy is nice but how about getting this to the next level, 3.9 new minion support gem, ENRAGED, your minions gain 100%more attack and move speed if they cant hit an enemy in the last 10 sec they start attacking you ( those little sperges are hundry) templarLul

#

oh yeah forget, "your minions are SUPER agressives" 😏

proud rapids
#

Any tips for failing less blights while leveling?

#

LA/SA build

kindred dagger
#

you use tower ?

proud rapids
#

yeah, usually fire ones

kindred dagger
#

Best tower is freeze first

#

you generaly can allways put one at a regroupement points so you can controle more lain

#

then dont hesitet o use the minion tower to keep them busy some then yeah fire seems good

#

honestly dont know for now if its important to use corresponding tower to the minion icons, but this set seems to be the best at managing blight

proud rapids
#

the icons mean what they're resistant to. thanks for the tips.

edgy pond
#

Anyone have place any importance to the lightning tower?

kindred dagger
#

i used to make some TD before and one of the most important things as allways be waves managments, so when you ahve controle potential over them (freeze here) its really important to abuse of it, the more enemies stuck somewhere the more you can hit them AND the more you protect your base

#

dont know for lighting tower i guess later there will be blight bosses so they may be usefull to boost damage

edgy pond
#

Oo yeh. Was testing around, doesnt seems much as great as the other 3 towers. You did mention about management. Sticking them to lvl 1 freeze tower or is there a need to upgrade them?

kindred dagger
#

as i use minion its hard to say i just use one freeze here and there to be sure nothing can pass

#

and i dont know for now if reward can be influenced, by upgraded tower or not doesnt seems to affect so for now i would say just upgrade if you can

still mural
#

I use freeze at chokepoints and a fire as close to that as I can, upgrade fire > freeze > fire

#

and add a minion one if it seems needed to slow them further

kindred dagger
#

I found minions tower more usefull than fire personaly, but agai wit minion its hard to say for the damage part i tried few things and freeze + minion tower seems really to strongly hold a lane, i guess that depend if you have damage or not

still mural
#

yeah, I'm using fire towers for the damage; freeze + minion is definitely the best combo for pure stall

proud rapids
#

btw, how do you get towers besides the first six?

#

like meteor/glacial cage

woeful halo
#

upgrade

#

level 4

proud rapids
#

ahh

#

thanks

proud rapids
#

some blights just seem op though

#

even with chill/minions

#

guess i need more dps

kindred dagger
#

maybe try to swift for some flame tower if you dont have yourself enough dps

proud rapids
#

maybe yea

#

just got a glacial cage tower on one.. it's really good

kindred dagger
#

not sure that work and that work well but maybe you can use totem, i guess decoy they should have more life, or frostwall you think it block them ? ^^

forest isle
#

the difficulty seems inconsistent, had no problems at all and then I had one that was 3 groups of 2 portals and lost incredibly fast, then the next one was insanely easy

signal goblet
#

the layout of the blight is compeltely random so sometimes its easy af and other times its boarderline impossible

#

i had one where the blight spawn point appeared inside the machine that youre supposed to defend lul

celest atlas
#

at least it wasnt tooo easy 🙂

forest isle
#

its been enjoyable so far though the guys that spam fireballs at you are sketchy

grizzled moth
#

It’s just a shame that the league mechanics scale with map monster level and not player level - it makes farming lower tier league mechanics trivial

#

(Deleted a message as it was somewhat wrong)

velvet palm
#

Every mechanic scales with maps

fallen tulip
#

yeah

#

betrayal was the Quarry and Harbour bridge league tho

rancid cedar
#

so are we not allowed to go to lower lvl areas to do the blight mechanic now? I can't find it anywhere when i go back an act or 2

junior sparrow
#

how to get an oil? I should met some requirements or it is completely random?

crisp juniper

pro tip to whoever gets the same, look around the map.. found the last mob just standing on the other side of the map

storm smelt
#

I'm so glad this league isn't a complete pushover

#

like other ones

mental apex
#

Last league was good too

#

Legacy best league, can't change my mind tho

#

To the talk about towers above

I'm usuling minions, but I never seeyself using anything except chill/shock towers. Maybe stun here or minion there, but really not as much worth as the chilling or shocking towers.

I'm underwhelmed by the fire tower 😮

storm smelt
#

fire is crazy?

#

I think shock towers suck tbh

woeful halo
#

fire tower is ok if you have a straight line and use the incinerate upgrade

storm smelt
#

My current issue is single target so I use meteor + summoner building most of the time

#

Meteor is by far the best ST

crisp juniper
#

i agree with the shock tower being the worst, chill and minion are my go to

storm smelt
#

Shock and seismic are tied for worst IMO

#

Then empowering, but I think empowering shines in the actual blighted maps

crisp juniper
#

seismic can be good depending on situation

#

if there is a huge pileup of lanes its good

slate tartan
#

Vaal Detonate Dead works nicely to clean up things, once the corpses have piled up.

what determines with how much tower bulding points we start?

#

why??

Did you kill the mobs?

cyan mantle
#

I did not finish all of them

I thought i had to hold out until timer ran out..

echo sand
#

you need to kill them al

velvet palm
#

Kill kill kill

cyan mantle
#

kk

mental apex
#

@rapid wasp you have to anoint them yourself

#

Unless you mean oils cause that's rng

rapid wasp
#

i have some oils i give a item to cassia and it says it cant be itonited

dusty umbra
#

only ammie scan

#

@rapid wasp

fallen tulip
#

rings can too?

#

they will just get tower defence annointments

celest atlas
#

with SRS an instability .. if spirti explodes and killes an npc .. would that still trigger Phantasm ?

gritty anchor
#

Has anyone else noticed when playing Caustic Arrow that now the Degen damage is delayed?
It used to be:
Impact Damage > Immediately Degen starts

now it's:
Impact Damage > About 0.1-0.2 second delay > Degen starts

It's hell trying to kill fast units with it when they can move out of degen just as it starts doing damage :/

river apex
#

Are minions spawned during TD affected by your auras/buffs for your own minions?

analog kelp
#

Hi. Do you have ideas how to scale INFERNAL LEGION fire damage? I tried to link it with minion dmg suport or combustion dmg - the number of damage in game doesn't change.

stoic drift
#

Auras, yes @river apex

south aspen
#

minion towers are best

#

and I agree with the guy that said the fireball spammers are a pain

Are you super overleveled? @granite perch
League mechanics typically don’t spawn in areas-10 levels from you in story

waxen spire
#

What do the icons mean in the center of the screen

#

in the circles

#

they relate to the towers somehow

#

since they have the tower icons

slate tartan
#

machinist: I would imagine minion damage (so anything that affects your minion's damage) and supporting fire/aoe/minion gems increase it. If it doesn't the damage at 20 would be useless.

lyric ore
#

delve broke then?

hot tide
#

what are the best towers to use on minions without a resistance or weakness?

kindred dagger
#

The only thing i could say bad for now about blight is that encoutner are a bit messy, you dont really see well, tower, minions and blight roots

fallen tulip
celest moth
#

So when there is flame icon on the blight spawn does it mean these mobs are vulnarable to flame attacks or something ?

autumn snow
#

means they resist that tower/element

#

so don't use it against that lane :p

celest moth
#

ok so opposite 😄 Thanks

damn 4 ways blights are tough

lunar burrow
#

For 4 way upgrade towers next to the pump so you can defend it

#

And switch between branches

copper turtle
#

does anointing stacks with already allocated passive? Or there's no reason to anoint same passive as the allocated one?

silver kettle
#

It doesn't stack

copper turtle
#

thanks )

south aspen
#

lol so I just spam minion towers and earthquake ones and cease caring

#

resists or not, they can't walk through other entities

#

and they must follow the root

#

so if you spam minions in their path, they can't really get past easily

violet nymph
#

how many spectres are the typical spectre build getting nowadays?

livid lake
#

you can get 4 fairly easily

#

3 from level 21 gem, 1 from tree.

violet nymph
#

yikes

#

that's pretty low huh

wet plaza
#

thats pretty normal for spectres

violet nymph
#

seems kinda low idk

#

I thought older builds would get 5-6?

#

2 from gem + 2 from tree + 2 from gear?

wet plaza
#

there was only 1 tree node

#

boots+armor gave +1

violet nymph
#

ah so 5

#

and the armor gives 25 elemental as extra so maybe 4 new spectres is approximate to 5 old ones?

silver kettle
#

You can also still get +1 chests from delve, though I imagine they'll be expensive

wet plaza
#

pretty sure you can get +5 from tree and high level gem alone

silver kettle
#

Requires level 31 gem. Possible but hard

wet plaza
#

or midnight bargains if you're desperate

silver kettle
#

Tbh minion damage is so buffed right now that it's not an issue

#

Two of my guildmates are doing spectres and they're completely insane apparently

wet plaza
#

yeah it was kind of a joke to just jogg through the acts

silver kettle
#

Both running slave drivers

wet plaza
#

i didnt even use spectres - went skele burning legion with MI

#

and it melted everything

silver kettle
#

I'm doing regular skeles and same

wet plaza
#

should i find earendel's ill use burning skeles again i think

#

not sure about slavedrivers, i think solar guards still feel better but i wont run them again. did those too often already

primal grail
#

should the instance crash in blighted map when using minion towers

lean tundra
#

Frost Sentinels (or something like that, the Ice Spear flags) are probably still good too

silver kettle
#

They are

vast berry
#

i ahve just been puting lightning at the chokes and spamming fireball

#

and if i get lucky, a good buff one

covert venture
#

Whats the max master you can stack?

violet nymph
#

ice towers to slow and aoe dmg to kill them , hard part is when summoners or snipers are stuck in the backrow

tough musk
#

So how are people managing Blight encounters without minions, when the lanes are coming from opposite sides, or gods forbid three different directions? You can clear a lane with one portal with towers easiy enough, but doing three on your own without any towers is often just a bit much.

#

Eh maybe it'll be better in twenty levels or so once my full build comes online

echo dove
#

Does anyone know how the ring anointments work in groups?

#

Does it use the rings of the map opener? The person you crafted the tower? The last person to upgrade it? Everyones?

languid path
#

it belongs to whoever bought the tower at the beginning of the encounter

next epoch
small mirage
#

whats that symbol that appears above the blight portal ui sometimes

#

looks kinda like a moon with tentacles

languid path
#

it means there will be a boss coming out from that portal

small mirage
#

ah

#

thx

kindred dagger
#

I think the point for blight clear without minion, is wave managment, really think of it as a TD

#

your goel is to slow waves while you can clear them piece by piece

#

You can see on the map how many mobs there is so you take a lane you clear the main pack and let your tower slow whats coming on, then you go on another you clear, do it again

vast gazelle
#

so, since hovering monster affixes isn't helpful, what does it mean when a portal is marked with a tower symbol?

#

resistant to or weak to that element of tower?

languid path
#

resistant to

vast gazelle
#

ok, and if there's a like ^2 with it, is that double resistant or means weak?

languid path
#

it means there will be a boss and reward is increased

vast gazelle
#

yeah

#

kk

loud spade
#

hey all i made a calculator to figure out what passives you can allocate with the oils you've got

#

i pulled the data from poedb so unfortunately didn't have the notable names but otherwise should come in handy

compact junco
#

that is pretty nice

celest atlas
#

kinda: im in act7 with 950hp 700 shield and running with my 8 zombie + SRS .. and still ave 25 tree points open

sweet narwhal
#

anyone managed to clear a blight map yet?

#

every time i reach ~30s left my game goes to 5fps and i die

raw pond
#

do tower symbols on portals tell you what the mobs are weak to?

kindred dagger
#

not sure if its weak to or resistant to

raw pond
#

I really want to say resistant to, because they just stormed through when i had 3 of the indicated tower lol

kindred dagger
#

Would be more logic if that tell what they are resistant too, so you have more choice to do

raw pond
#

true

deft girder
#

2 days in and idk how this league works beside tower defense. templarLul

still mural
#

It's what they're resistant to (and what type of mob they are/what type of damage they deal), yeah

deft girder
#

Nevermind, the league ia actually quite simple but with good depth. chaosthinking

kindred dagger
#

blight map...... like the fuck too much mob and the more there is the more it lag the more it lag the less you can deal with them so the more there is and the more it lag...... and its so messy you cant clearly select your tower and upgrade and so especialy with the lag and all the blur on screen

#

its really interested the blight encoutner on blight map but its poe guys come on of course its gonna lag so of course its not gonna work

proud rapids
#

just finished a blight without towers 🙂

#

there's that challenge

kindred dagger
#

once you are strong enough i guess its possible yeah

proud rapids
#

it was only a 3 lane one

acoustic lark
#

so how do you tell what towers each type of mob is weak to?

languid path
#

mobs don't have weakness

#

they're only resistant to a certain tower

#

which is shown on the UI

mental apex
#

so much minions, i dont need to build a single tower 😛

formal sonnet
#

so they were stucked behind this after i opened the door like 50 enemies just deck me in the face

#

im not sure if thats was intended :/

grave elk
#

Anyone having issues with Blight consistently instance crashing?

kind hornet
#

what tower combinations have you lads been using?

#

ive found that the freeze towers are kinda shit until you get the them to the cage mode then thats real good

#

but im wondering if there are any other standout towers

kindred dagger
#

im a gonna try a non minion char to be able to look more into TD mecanics for now i found freeze tower pretty handy

eager terrace
#

I like fire, stun and minion towers

#

backed by the empower towers

violet nymph
#

minion sup or infernal?

vast gazelle
#

I like minion and fire the most

tidal ruin
#

oh my god

#

so curtain call is now 800 int/dex

#

from 500

teal axle
#

basically unusable templarLul

fresh wyvern
#

does quantity on blighted map increase blight fight rewards?

#

mobs in blighted map don't drop loot, so is it worth alch the map?

kindred dagger
#

do you guys succeed to ended real blighted map ? fuck the lag kills it so much doesnt they test their game for real ?

woeful halo
#

monsters do drop loot, just at the end like incursions

violet nymph
#

I'm not liking the Blighted Maps... It's too reliant on the towers without time to upgrade. I played Flash Element TD, Gems TD, Onslaught TD, Bloons, and hella ton more, but in those games there's no exiles to keep not deaded. The lag is insane, even with a GTX970. Crazy thought, why not Give players invulnerability OR give 30s Skippable pauses in between waves OR Weaken the Bosses

kindred dagger
#

Yeah i think this mod would have been better with some "rounds" system or at least no lags, seems no one can do anything about those lag thats make it unplayable

tough musk
#

I'm just now realizing....I have no idea what any of the towers are called, since I have legit no time to read the tooltips while trying to keep shooting.....

#

Which makes annointing new rings....kinda hard....

celest atlas
#

you dont die if you loose one .. just because you checked all the tower names ...

craggy kernel
#

@tough musk I called them Fire tower, electric tower, cold tower, physical stun tower, minion tower, support tower; but then, there's always poedb https://poedb.tw/us/BlightTower

#

(turns out the names stay in the theme of each icon)

atomic arrow
#

does the empowering tower work on minions? (the final upgrade)

#

also do they stack?

civic girder
#

Do you get better loot etc based on how many tower points, or how much you actually attack etc?
or does nothing effect that?

deft girder
#

Loot seems the same if I just ignore towers.

patent canyon
#

the final hp on the pump might or might not effect final loot

#

when doing blight maps if its full hp or just -1,2 the pump itself drops more or at least looks that way

torpid sonnet
#

I'm guessing that the loot dropped by the pump is just the accumulated drops from all the blighted monsters, like at the end of an incursion encounter

topaz dew
#

So are the icons in the portals resistances or super effective?

still mural
#

resistances

#

@atomic arrow I don't think the empower tower affects minions. No idea if they stack.

violet nymph
#

do map mods also affect the blight monsters? for instance, if the map has ''cannot be stunned'' mod, the stun tower becomes useless?

tame thistle
#

Okay dumb question but how do I actually use my master mission in atlas?

still mural
#

Talk to the master in question, IIRC

patent canyon
#

yup

tame thistle
#

tyvm

patent canyon
#

and then at the top there is master mission, put map and go to map device

craggy kernel
#

@topaz dew it's "resists this type, and spawns of this type" is the consensus (the resist thing was known, I remember reading about it in the various presentations)

#

the "spawns this type" I'm not 100% sure.

#

but there seems to be a consensus that a Fire portal will spawn mobs that deal fire damage

forest isle
#

gotta love having the screen too cluttered to see the army of electric wheels coming for you

celest atlas
#

any news on the item update for PoB ?

tidal ruin
#

a lot of items from 2-3 patches ago aren't in pob

celest atlas
#

yeah but even the gems?

signal knoll
#

are the blight stuff fun to do?

#

better than legion?

celest atlas
#

ah just got thew news about pob update with the gems 🙂

scenic raft
#

How expensive does my PC have to be in order to survive blighted maps?

#

(crashed when the loot started dropping and the instance was gone)

#

(or is that a server issue)

rapid wasp
#

so do we have a meta for the towers yet ( like witch one do i put down ) and should i get multiple towers of the same type or just upgrade one or 2 towers?

celest atlas
#

it depends

#

🙂

#

e.g. on the weaknesses

#

i like to put an empower one in the middle and the some dmg around and some slowdown on the first after the spawn .. and that start raising them

#

but sometimes you get like 2 left and 2 right .. than it get a bit more tricky

#

esp. if its in a tight space

violet nymph
#

blight maps are broken btw

#

with summoner game cant keep up with you after like 7 nodes and server kicks you out

celest atlas
#

isnt the bone armour skill on the ascendency quite useless .. coz this way you have to cast it yourself and cant do it automatically !?

rugged delta
#

the biggest thing about it is that it purges bleed from you and your minions

celest atlas
#

so foryourself you would just use the flask you have for that .. and im notr sure if i even see the minions bleeding .. to use it ...

vast gazelle
#

The advantage there is that you can put other immunities/affixes on your flask

atomic arrow
#

Yeah, I've been just using it for bleed. It is a bit less intuitive than using flasks though.

violet nymph
#

uh

#

a pack of roas

#

just froze

#

they dont move and arent targetable

#

it wont let me finish the blight

idle wedge
#

are blight maps worth doing? Or it's better to sell them? a t4 blighted map is 9 chaos atm

patent canyon
#

you get around 10c from those back

#

but obviously rng can strike you and you can lose encounter or just not drop more than it costs

#

also they are really fun

mortal yarrow
#

so when are blighted maps getting fixed

idle wedge
#

i mean, it's tier 4

#

and i'm doing tier 10+ maps

#

i should be fine

#

I hope

#

@patent canyon I lost

#

but i got some rewards anyways

#

so i guess it's not that bad?

#

it's sooo crazy tho

#

i was lagging so much

patent canyon
#

yeah final waves are really laggy

#

you get some rewards from mobs and any defended lanes

#

but real rewards are for actually winning

violet nymph
#

those shield enemies are really mean 😦

slender temple
#

@mental apex im on mobile pitch it to me so I can save it for later

#

Nono I mean what is it haha

#

Also thanks

#

I guess I have something to look at in five hours

mental apex
#

its dominating blow doing like 10? mill

#

most of that is from herald of purity tho

#

the purity sentinels

dusky tendon
#

does "% increased effect of buffs granted by your golems" work with carrion golems? or is it only meant for buffs that the player gets? not sure myself, pob doesnt show any increase in minon damage with Golem Commander / primordial emminence

hybrid gyro
#

Hey guys, I have a question to the new master system, how does it function? the atlas info says that you accumulate 2 dailies every day, but what about random masters you used to encounter? Do those still occur? Do you get those randomly when killing a boss to save those up as well? did they just get removed

celest atlas
#

you just talk to the master

#

randomly count separate afaik

gritty ember
#

There is a chance to get a master to spawn when you open a map
There is a chance to get a master mission in your queue when you complete a map
You get a master mission in your queue every day as a daily

#

@hybrid gyro

hybrid gyro
#

ohh, I see! thank you! So its pretty much just nicer overall! Appreciate it

gritty ember
#

Yeah so far I have been drowning in master missions lol

#

I never really kept up with them on the atlas in the old system.

quartz dome
pure bear
#

anyone else encoutering dcs when there is shitton of blight mobs ?

#

map is closing and cannot reenter it

worn pebble
#

Yeah I've been coming across Blight things that spawn the portals right next to the pump and destroy it basically right away, is there anything I can do to kinda counter that from happening?

quartz dome
#

not that I can think of

#

I put four fire totems right up against the portal and it just decides "lets spawn tanky golems now"

#

and then it's game over and literally nothing that can be done to prevent it

gritty ember
#

I don't think anything can reliably do that. Maybe the frost tower that builds a circle frost wall could save you

#

Bit psure that's just game over

quartz dome
#

even so, if the closest tower is way the eff up in the top right of my screenshot it doesn't help

gritty ember
#

Yeah

grizzled moth
#

will they add a mid-league update to add a minimum distance from the pump?

#

it is rather common to see this when farming it seems

gritty ember
#

They usually try to fix stuff like that yeah

quartz dome
#

maybe my next build should be chill focused

worn pebble
#

Yeah guess I'll just deal with the rando spawns for now, see if it does get touched on anytime soon! Ty! Also is there a guide on the different symbols for the towers and what they do?

gritty ember
#

Poedb has a section on them I think

lyric ore
#

any solution to stuck blight maps?

#

2 bone roas just stuck not moving, cant be hit

gritty ember
#

Did you petrify them with multiple towers? I heard that it can brick a mob and make it permanently petrified

spare cliff
#

same exact thing happened to me @lyric ore

#

two rhoas are stuck

#

I don't have multiple petrify towers so that's not the issue, though I did see a reddit post about that

gritty ember
#

Bone roahs can be raised by enemy necros, so it's possible there is another respawning bug

spare cliff
#

man I hope this doesn't happen every blighted map

hollow quail
#

any idea when they are fixing blighted maps ?

atomic arrow
#

hopefully really soon because i really want to finish one of them

#

they always crash at 1-2 min

somber coyote
#

do you just do tower defense then get loot or is there more nuance into it

#

other than oils and stuff

wheat lance
#

once you get to the blight maps its a real hard challenge

atomic arrow
#

it's about 5-10x harder than usual

wheat lance
#

yea your looking at aroung 15 or so branches

atomic arrow
#

the nodes just fill the whole bottom of the screen

wheat lance
#

people that can farm those consistantly gonna make tons of currency

atomic arrow
#

i probably can if it didn't crash...

wheat lance
#

they just trying give rest of us a chance

atomic arrow
#

whos the rest of us...

wheat lance
#

everyone but you 🙂

atomic arrow
#

and what do you have against me

wheat lance
#

it was suppose to be a compliment

#

like there dcing you because rest of us are not as good

atomic arrow
#

i havent even finished one yet

wheat lance
#

just trying to be funny, I failed

#

🙈 🙉 🙊

atomic arrow
#

does anyone know what makes it crash? is it a tower combo, too much mobs, or just pretty much random?

wheat lance
#

I dont know I dont crash

atomic arrow
#

ive been using mostly ice/minion with some empower/fire

#

it always seems to crash at the end as well which makes me think its just the mobs

wheat lance
#

ever since builidng this PC I dont have any issues at all with POE even when watching netflix.

atomic arrow
#

it's the server crashing, not me

#

my computer seems to be perfectly fine

wheat lance
#

then I would crash also

#

which I dont

atomic arrow
#

you can tell it's the server because the portals/instance is gone

eager terrace
#

yes there are still plenty of instance crashes

wheat lance
#

not for me

atomic arrow
#

have you finished one of the blight maps @wheat lance

wheat lance
#

not yet

eager terrace
#

that's where the instance crashes are lol

atomic arrow
#

there you go

wheat lance
#

ok ill try then

#

but dont think ill crash

#

the mobs may freeze

eager terrace
#

the game doesn't crash

atomic arrow
#

no one crashes in normal maps lol

eager terrace
#

the instance just can't handle how ham the blighted maps get

atomic arrow
#

its just the blighted maps

wheat lance
#

you mean the issue with mobs freezing

atomic arrow
#

no

wheat lance
#

because I konw about that

atomic arrow
#

the instance is basically deleted

#

you cant reenter it

eager terrace
#

it'll look like the game disconnects you back to the login screen

#

because it literally closes the map you're in

wheat lance
#

ok then yea thats server side sorry thought you meant poe closed out

eager terrace
#

it's not surprising given how ridiculous blighted maps get towards the last 2 minutes

atomic arrow
#

yep

wheat lance
#

yea ive seen them

eager terrace
#

I don't think they've ever tried putting that many things on screen

atomic arrow
#

the whole map is red

#

its like breach league with 5x mobs lol

#

as well as just being tankier

wheat lance
#

might be why not many finishing them the ones I saw the instance didnt close but the mobs froze so couldnt finish it

eager terrace
#

sometimes the rhoas bug out yeah

#

the ones that can die and reform

#

that has happened to me on regular map blights

#

I think it might have to do with them dying while frozen but still wanting to reform

pseudo snow
#

looking to make a new build that won'tr

#

*crash out and lose my blight maps

#

does knockback work on blight minions?

wary smelt
#

i dont believe it does

#

dont think u can stun em either

dapper dragon
#

you can still freeze/ stun them in place with towers

torpid sonnet
#

knockback and stun work on most blight mobs except the phys redistant ones

dapper dragon
#

it just most of the time there's so much happening that you don't have much time to make rational decisions

#

blight maps are super fun they just need to fix the bugs and crashes

placid grotto
#

Seems like it's a conga line in Blight. What skills would be good for it? Or just a bow skill and lots of Pierce?

runic crane
#

so far my poison bladefall has been solid

#

I wonder if reverse knockback totems would work on this? or are they dead atm

lucid stone
#

There's those new boots that give you old chieftain reflect

#

So those might be great with reverse knockback totems

#

But maybe not on blight mobs, who, afaik, can't be knocked back

jaunty wadi
#

they should let us heal the pump with those points

#

imo all TD games have some sort of heal

woven lark
#

this blight league is interesting

jaunty wadi
#

kindred dagger

tepid tiger
#

So is it just me or does anyone else feel like the blighted petrol's damage is over tuned? I'll be doing a TD and like 4 of those things will spawn from off screen and just starting blasting me from half way across the map. I get freaking nuked before half of those flaming nukes even manage to hit me. Sitting with Capped resses 3.5k life and ev dodge stacked up the butt. Mind you this is on T1's with no monster damage modifiers.

copper kernel
#

3.5k hp is pretty low

placid grotto
#

Depends on the map tier. 3.5 should be more than enough for T1's

#

It's about when I could comfortably farm Syndicate in white maps and that mechanic hits well above the area level

midnight phoenix
#

If its a blight encounter u should be fine

tepid tiger
#

3.5k is pretty low but on the same note the amount of raw damage it does kills me before I even take half the hits through dodge and evasion. Combined with the fact that they will attack from offscreen even i'm not standing on the path of the monsters. I've been attempting to be a good ways away just launching cobra lashes into the packs as they spawn and they'll decide to just turn and nuke me when I'm not in their way when the intended AI is for them to only attack things in their path for the mechanic

midnight phoenix
#

If its a blighted map ur going to get ur ass kicked

tepid tiger
#

Just the encounter

#

Not a map

midnight phoenix
#

Ye idk then

#

They literally never attack me

#

Unless im standing on them

tepid tiger
#

Could be them trying to attack my HoA or ice golem and just hitting me instead but that's pretty annoying

midnight phoenix
#

Mobs wont attack hoag

vernal stream
#

what anointing enchantments are best for a necro? on amulet etc

woven lark
#

@copper kernel it's more about the map :3

midnight phoenix
#

Depends on ur build @vernal stream

native osprey
hard trench
#

anyone else having issues finishing blighted maps?

#

i get stuck at the same node every time

midnight phoenix
#

I keep crashing

#

Also thats a cool site ferret

vernal stream
#

always crash on blight maps; even though I have a fairly good PC and SSD

hard trench
#

I clear them and then theres mobs that just stop moving

#

and on the line its the same node every time

#

i get loot from the other portals but im sure theres completion loot

my

blighted map crashed

midnight phoenix
#

Story of the league

topaz ginkgo
#

i put down a bunch of seismic towers and permastunned a bunch of mobs so there were a ton on the screen

midnight phoenix
#

Im just saving all mine now

topaz ginkgo
#

it was super fun though

#

when GGG fixes it i bet it'll be great

midnight phoenix
#

Yes

#

I enjoy it

#

But i do not enjoy crashing with sub 1 minute

#

That is no bueno

#

If ggg could like triple the hp of all blight mobs and cut the spawns in 3 or something

#

I would be cool with that

#

Makes aoe worse but at least maybe i can complete a blighted map without crash to desktop

topaz ginkgo
#

i like the idea of adding short breaks

#

lessens load plus gives time to spend my like 30k currency

manic frost
#

the difficulty of blight encounters seems to have rly high variance

#

it's like, 80% breeze, 10% had to focus, 5% Holy fucking shit that was close and 5% AAAAAAAAAAA WHAT THE FUCK

#

the fire ranged attack mobs need to fuck off mainly

#

it's the new firing squad

serene wing
#

So are blighted maps just straight broken atm and always crash?

#

2 for 2 on instance crashes so far in blighted maps

manic frost
#

seems to be very computer-dependent

#

some ppl never crash, some always crash

#

if you're 2 on 2 you should probably stop for now

serene wing
#

Yeah, my plan is to basically not play the new maps becauuse having all that loot/rewards just erased is garbage and untested :/

midnight phoenix
#

Im 3 for 3 on instance crashes in blight maps

#

Im not touching them till ggg makes a change or two

#

It feels pretty build dependent fwiw

#

Like i crashed the first map the second i popped vaal skeletons

#

The last two i unsocketed vaal skeleton and crashed with like 45 sec to go

twin rampart
#

summons crash blights alot

#

probably

full cypress
#

what's the name of the white colored oil ?

carmine fiber
#

hey with annointing

#

just use those oil colour combos on an item and it gets those node effects? 🤔

#

i also wish they said the colour name on the notable

#

because man im shit at differentiating colours

past badger
#

That is kinda obvious with that avatar

violet nymph
#

So the icons on the towers are what they are resistant to or weak to

past badger
#

Resistant

violet nymph
#

Ty

surreal timber
#

So have people found good tower combinations for blighted maps?

topaz ginkgo
#

what the heck do empowering towers even do

#

increase damage? faster attack?

static token
#

Doesn't say and kind of hard to test. Presumably 1-3 will make whatever the other tower does better. If that is like more minions, more minion damage, more minion health, all of the above, who knows.

#

Minion tower spam has been my go to so far. Ice tower if there is a lot of minion resistance.

mortal yarrow
#

Any eta on blight maps lag fix yet?

smoky fiber
#

I really don't understand how to do blight as melee...

#

all the ranged units just attack from a screen or more away, and completely zone me off of even being able to upgrade towers, and just zone me out of the entire area

#

and I can't fight back or I just die

#

like is there a way to not... get attacked..?

reef olive
#

i think blight in cells map is broken. instance has crashed both times i tried to do it

#

so just a heads up. maybe kill the boss before you do the encounter

patent canyon
#

It is also entirely possible to finish encounters with towers only if you cant tank any hits

#

Btw no clue what kind of melee are you playing since pretty much anything hits at least half a screen away

smoky fiber
#

how is it possible to do encounters coming from multiple directions

#

without helping

#

only encounters I've done towers only are when they're in a perfect choke

#

but I still get attacked

patent canyon

Did a 6lane tier8 map with towers only

#

Anoint your rings for tower buffs, those help a lot

smoky fiber
#

oh, yea, haven't annointed them

#

what should I annoint them with?

patent canyon
#

Whatever you like doing with towers

smoky fiber
#

like it's impossible for me to even gauge what's going on...

#

cause I just randomly die

#

offscreen

#

can't see towers

#

can't see mobs

cobalt falcon
#

High level map drop low tier oil?

patent canyon
#

Yh

#

Higher maps just unlock oil drop pools, doesnt mean it will always drop highest

deft girder
#

Feels like alot of people are going to oil additional curse.

static token
#

Really depends. It's good, but it's not actually that hard to get an additional curse. Harder to find room to actually run an additional curse aura.

#

It's also almost 5ex right now.

wet plaza
#

coh & flasks exists

static token
#

There is one curse flash and not everyone wants to run a second skill to curse. They are viable, but can also be a little annoying.

#

Rings and corruptions are good options. But, just saying that it's not on the top of my list for enchants I'm looking for.

silver kettle
#

How are people finding mines or poison for clearing blighted maps?

livid lake
#

my friend keeps saying "pyroclast mines are broken as fuck, wtf"

#

so i'd hazard a guess at good.

silver kettle
#

Yeah I've heard that

#

I assume they just have the dps to delete everything?

livid lake
#

icicle with chain is probably super good too.

#

pretty much, the ramp mechanic is a bit weird

wet plaza
#

a friend of mine complained about poison not holding up against bigger blights

livid lake
#

probably because everyone falls for the coralito trap

mental apex
#

The what trap?

livid lake
#

that is severely nerfs your on hit damage in exchange for some duration that is basically worhtless except for long fights.

wet plaza
#

coralitos is not just for duration

#

and its barely a trap for poison builds

livid lake
#

i mean thats why poison clear is going to feel bad

#

when you have 400% multi and you're doing normal hit damage because of coralito's

wet plaza
#

your hits dont do much either way

#

3k vs 8k hit dmg

#

wont help a ton

rugged mason
#

Blight bug out

#

Cant get the loot

livid lake
#

there is an issue with the petrification towers

rugged mason
#

Monster suddenly stop walking

livid lake
#

especially if you have two overlapping

mental apex
#

I've played a lot of poison builds, and coralitos has absolutely no effect when clearing packs.
If anything I think it might be beneficial to this league if you have to go from one side of the tower to the other

#

Tbh, usually in the past I'll one tap rares in t15 and one or two poisons stacks will kill them usually with a decent currency investment

#

This league will be even stronker

livid lake
#

i mean you literally lose all your hit damage but sure.

#

on a clearing basis its strictly worse than picking up the keystone.

mental apex
#

Hit damage isn't more than like 2k

wild arch
#

I had an awesome little build idea

compact junco
#

looking at pob for my poison SA, i have around 5k hit damage w corralito and maybe 7k w/o corallito at like 1 stage, so yeah, hit damage is useless for poison builds for clearing

wild arch
#

Slayer with badge of brotherhood

#

Anoint the 3 power charge nodes

#

Boom, 6 of each charge

#

Discharge with all 3 charges is meh cause no EQ

#

But you can do something weird like impale frenzy hammer with power on crit and end on stun

deft girder
#

Coralito is pretty good on toxic rain. Hit damage doesnt matter.

dusty umbra
#

@silver kettle cobralash for anything above yellows felt meh

wet plaza
#

Yeah same thing my friend said

compact junco
#

i guess without the chain changes it would be way better

dusty umbra
#

tbh it would feel way better if they would have given it projectiles pierce all targets

silver kettle
#

good to know, figured that might be the case

#

rip this +3 cobra lash chain enchant I found

compact junco
#

there are still plenty of ways to make it feel better probably, for example that new sporeguard body must be pretty good with it

#

but, with +3 enchant, deadeye could be fun :d

dusty umbra
#

respecced into coc nova instead since i didn't particularly like cobra lash

#

the 1ex cospris hurt tho

rough bobcat
#

guys while doing blight there are icons on some portals - thats weaknesses of monsters from this portal or resistance?

frank hound
#

resistances

rough bobcat
#

cool, thx

wild arch
#

Not just resistance but straight up immunity

#

My fire towers weren't even shooting at mobs from a fire portal

deft girder
#

At least they dont shoot at them.

stone sand
#

is there any short note on blight mechanic?

#

i try blight map and got lag+ overrun @@

analog kelp
#

Im linking srs+infernal legion.
Would increases to spell damage boost infernal legion fire damage? Srs is a spell and "minions deal fire damage", but the support itself isn't a spell obviosly

torpid sonnet
#

unless it specifically says on the gem that the DoT is affected by spell damage it isnt

analog kelp
#

what's DoT?

torpid sonnet
#

Damage over Time

analog kelp
#

well is isnt ignite damage

#

but fire, so why damage over time?

torpid sonnet
#

Because infernal legion deals damage over time

mental apex
#

I imagine it scales with minion damage as well?
Idk if it scales with you taking fire damage from the tree, not sure

analog kelp
#

"damage per second" is counted as damage over time?

mental apex
#

That is accurate @analog kelp

analog kelp
#

it really scales with minion dmg since "minion deal fire damage", thought the toolbar doesnt show the numbers

#

its minions who deal the damage so it shouldnt scale with me picking dire dmg nodes

#

but im not sure

mental apex
#

That's what I believe, if it was the other way around it would be weird but ggg has done things like that before if I recall

red stone
#

Regarding the master missions... can u get them clearing any map? Tooltip text makes it look like you only get the “daily” ones and thats it

snow cairn
#

it's random

#

like previously, when you clear a map it had a random chance to spawn a master mission

#

now it just increments the counter

#

although i think it's slightly rarer

wet plaza
#

nah its 50:50 between counter and wild spawn

#

at least thats what ppl said

snow cairn
#

wild spawn happens with map generation, counter is when you complete or clear enough @wet plaza

#

pretty sure you can get both if you're lucky

#

oh, when i said spawn i meant on the atlas

red stone
#

Thats what i wanted to know, thanks

sturdy ember
#

anybody came up with decent tactics for those blight encounters?

#

from like lvl 40 i cant get past these especially if there are more than one direction for that pump

#

not sure if im picking these towers wrong or what

#

but it looks like mine skills do nothing to them

#

while (what is worth to mention) im doing quite good slashing through any other mobs (except single target stuff)

patent canyon
#

look at bottom bar where monster weakness are shown

#

you will need to pick damaging tower that is not on the list

sturdy ember
#

so if there is fire on the bottom bar i pick ice?

patent canyon
#

or shock

#

or minion

sturdy ember
#

so.... no matter what i pick just to pick one that is not shown down below?

patent canyon
#

yup

#

because that tower will be useless against them

sturdy ember
#

isnt that like one speccific is super effective while other are only good?

patent canyon
#

(unless max upgraded for special effects)

#

nope

sturdy ember
#

oh

patent canyon
#

all other towers do their normal damage

#

that weakness to tower does pretty much none to its own type

sturdy ember
#

and whats better to focus? more low lvl towers or go big with 2 or 3

patent canyon
#

start with few low level ones

#

like empower tower, damage tower and cc tower

#

then keep upgrading damage one

sturdy ember
#

...

patent canyon
#

build cc towers on other lanes where you are not watching

sturdy ember
#

thats what im doing most of the time and it looks like it doesnt work at all

patent canyon
#

or just generic same tower spam might work too

#

if there are no minion resistance those are really really good

snow cairn
#

i heard spamming minion towers works

#

summoner build just rolls every blight encounter without caring about towers

sturdy ember
#

well... im frost blades raider

#

imma try those minion

#

maybe they could hold them for long enough for me to finally take them down

patent canyon
#

yeah minion tower spam pushes them really far back or holds in place for hours

#

once you get your build going those regular encounters in maps become really easy tho

sturdy ember
#

i bet so im just kinda worried about it since at simmilar level most of mine previous builds (used to play as elementalist mostly - like winter orb) was clearing most of maps in no time.

#

maybe its that i need tabula - saddly had no luck dropping one yet and still not able to afford one

tough vigil
#

So how pc melting are blight maps as a mass summoner necro exactly?

hushed sequoia
#

Heard it just crashes out on heavy blight maps

tough vigil
#

Y E E T

hushed sequoia
#

Not really cuz pc intensive or anythin but because poe codes are just shit

tough vigil
#

Yeah when i said that I got bashed for it but the game is not optimized

inland summit
#

Sorry for the dumb question, but are all annointable nodes unique in their color combo? so there is no randomness to the crafting

grizzled moth
#

When you hover over the node, in game, it shows you the specific combination

#

Also the forum has the full list @inland summit

pearl wharf
#

I have crashed 2/3 of blighted maps as a necromancer. Not even mass summoning one.

kindred dagger
#

Ok serisou talking does really cassia is a crazy bitch ? like she is singing when she thinks no one listening to her "ay all those monster are gonna BURN, lets turn them into ashes BURN BURN BURN" !!! 🙃

placid grotto
#

Are blight always a conga line of monsters? Or are there gaps at some point?

tidal frost
#

I mean. They are going to burn

#

And they are infected monsters that need yo burn

kindred dagger
#

Yeah sure but still, its like you know the girl you are going to date run with a knife trying to cut out your balls level templarLul

pearl wharf
#

The portals active and deactive but there are always some portals open.

tidal frost
#

When monsters are real it's less crazy

Except for HoAg

runic zephyr
#

why am i not winning? there are no mobs left i can target, but the map says otherwise

spice cipher
#

Common bug right now @runic zephyr

runic zephyr
#

man... this league is... special, sucks hard because it was very fun

#

so i can trash the map now and i wont get the end reward?

spice cipher
#

Collect what you can and move on imo

runic zephyr
#

what the fuck...

#

any ETA when this will be fixed

#

kind of makes the entire damn league pointless

spice cipher
#

It will be fixed ASAP, check #old-game-news looks like a patch to fix certain things is coming

#

Mentions delve specifically but there may be a something in it for blights

runic zephyr
#

so, how "common" is this bug

#

im assuming its because i got a cave layout (which made it sooo much more fun) and the stuff was so packed?

#

just wanna know if its worth even trying blighted maps atm

spice cipher
#

No it’s pretty common as far as I can tell. Until it’s fixed it’s prob worth more to save them up tbh. Servers can’t handle the load or some shit

runic zephyr
#

fuck man... the layout was so perfect, and to top it off it was almost all abyss portals so would have gotten tons of abyss gems which i need

#

well, at least it was way better performance wise than i feared

spice cipher
#

You’re lucky , most dc and lose their maps@

violet nymph
#

Maybe go in and out of the map?

#

Though i guess it's too late now

granite prism
#

Nah i tried that myself doesnt work

serene wing
#

Has there been any word if they are fixing the instance crash for blight maps? I would like to actually be able to finish one

split pumice
#

It's on their list of high priority known issues so they are definitely working on it. @serene wing

red stone
#

do we know if keeping the pump healthy affects the loot at the end? (not the chests)

raw dew
#

where can i get the list of all the oiled ring enchants?

nocturne dove
#

bugged

next epoch
raw dew
#

ty very much

quartz dome
#

well somehow I just won a blight so hard it deleted the instance

prime summit
#

^Sarcasm

placid grotto
#

How does melee do the encounters? The mobs seem to hit hard fast enough to make it difficult

#

Not to mention needing multiple lanes

jaunty wadi
#

anyone found a good map and a mf build to farm?

tough vigil
#

I thought you said a google map and i had so much questions

jaunty wadi
#

lol blgiht doesnt spawn on google maps

tough vigil
#

People seem to like indoor maps for blight events so i guess indoor maps

#

I know i just need sleep

jaunty wadi
#

ya i noticed it works great with indoor maps too

#

just cant decide on the build yet to farm with

tough vigil
#

Maybe Burial chambers to farm 2 things at once?

jaunty wadi
#

run like 1k maps last league with mf ED, 0 doctors

#

they just hate me

tough vigil
#

Doctors hate him find out his trick

#

Tbh i would probably go tower, i always liked tower layout

#

But don't listen to me

placid grotto
#

Tower or Toxic Sewers seem best to me

#

Layout-wise

#

And drops

#

No idea about tiers

tough vigil
#

Omg for once i was right about something damn

#

But yeah tower should be good

#

Toxic sewers too now that you say it

placid grotto
#

Maybe Channels?

#

Not sure how the drop rate is now. I've run a couple high quantity ones and haven't dropped a card
