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But I guess most of the data is outdated because of new scalling if there is any
I'm possibly considering brutal restraint keystone for poison build 
lucky damage from crits means it's hits upper range of damage range right?
y
it rolls twice and picks higher number
So if damage range is like 5k-10k
it's like ~20% damage increase?
asspulled numbers
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
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))
downside of brutal restraint is still smaller than abysus
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."
abyssus is suicide helm tho
What is ment by the "starting state"?
Do they mean that all of the members and relationship will just be gone?
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
well i am going bow so i have devotos 
might as well devotos
lol i was thinking soul of steel would be the hardest notable to anoint... then I look at the table.. triple golden oil
starkonja should be better for you
i just put devotos for movespeed there
im going cobra lash, but haven't decided on last two ascendancies to take
ass?
ye
all 3 look good enuf to pick
Culling / crit, vs 20% move speed, vs perma 4 power charges
i wouldnt pick the crit one
take this
respec into oppurtunist after you get decent crit on gear
yeah im leaning on that one as well
I'm not sold on elusive being that good, seems just like onslaught, taken more for the movespeed
lol you're forgetting no dmg from crits
and reduced dmg
which are best parts of it
and a way to reset it with withering step
also combined with phase acro
yeah its pretty much capped dodge just with acro and elusive
ok maybe some ways better than onslaught 😛
why not both? 😛
cobra lash is projectiles that will proc it
should be an issue
im also planning to run 6th link fork
gyre assassin anyone?
but yeah i will try onslaught jewel for a bit as well
maybe it will be reliable enough
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
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
flesh and stone with maim is prolly more for phy build
I've no idea about their AI... they might not approach enemies as you expect, without there being mines near them
I already have lvl1 maim chest 🤔
If my melee mains, and flesh and stone mains, do they both take effect?
doesn't seem like it. you can support F&S with maim for greater %phys taken though
Not enough gem slots for that 😅
the wiki says it does stack but reddit comments say it doesn't
I doubt it would so that's what I'll continue sticking to
wiki > some reddit idiots
I'd think it doesn''t just because shock doesn't, the greater shock replaces weaker ones
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.
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?
Minion miner?
Maim does not stack. If there are two or more maims affecting a target, then the maim with the larger effect is used.
can anointed notables be allocated on the tree as well as the item?
I guess yes, but it won't double the effect
it will just allow you to pass past this tree and continue
i guess
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
Annointed allocates the node? Or just gives the stats? I suppose it is the 2nd
The word is "allocates"
you likely can't path from it tho
Ye propably
Woa so you can build the tree with a detached branch?
I mean like scion ascendancy
ik
Yeah thats true xD
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
Super xpensive problably
On the other hand, few ppl could achieve that in league, so maybe its not a problem
I guess oils won't be rare, except golden/silver ones
But the uniques?
Ah you had uniques in mind
Ye they should be rare
We still don't know 2 pieces right?
Ye
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
If you can path from those nodes... We are going to see really crazy shit trees
Which is cool imo
You cant path from them
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
Mirror is higher
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?
Or raise your cwdt yeah
@midnight kraken it has been said that we won‘t be able to oath from them, sadly I can‘t remember were
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?
Inspiration charges last how long by default?
Presumably 10 seconds, that's the default for other charge types
If that were true there would have to be a cap on the number of charges you can gain right?
5 max
does anyone know what implicit the new ring base types have? poedb shows them but doesn't have art or details yet
10% more minion damage, 15% increased minion move/attack/cast speed
More, and global
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
Blood
hmmm, i think i have an issue. my zombies cost 137 mana and i have 25 mana regen per second, lol
I'm pretty sure it said that on the gems
hopefully I will not need to resummon them very often :d
Zombies shouldn't really die at all if you're actually a summoner
Especially if they have defensive links
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
whats special about chaos
Aren't enemies have less chaos dmg than elemental/phys?
no
can i replace now the content.ggpk ?
thanks
what happens if u open the game with new content.ggpk
you update back to 3.7
blasphemy?
except self cast, as aura, CWDT and curse on hit gem(it doesn't work with minions sadly 😦 )
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
Is there a punishment/vulneability on hit on rings?
nah but i think theres a corruption for gloves?
the website going down before a league start is so stupid
they need to update so
the wexsite is tide to the game they share info and so
Right before the league is when people want to look at things the most, like I wanted to check gems again
I dont think there is much other website that are related as much with their game
Ya, that should not be the case. They have stated multiple times it's something they need to fix.
But yeah i agree they should probably have a backup site somehwere where you can still see league info and so i guess
I've got a challenge for you guys
Make a non minion/poison build? 
Play with uber-very-strict item filter from Neversink from the beginning
Where's the challenge?
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
the only difference would be instead of seeing all trash and ignoring it you would not see it and ignore anyway
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?
But what if you understand Russian or Korean tho? 
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
this is about what i did
That's how the old tree was. Old stuff is where it used to be. New stuff added
@wild arch i do understand russian , eez 😄
I'd prefer to learn Japanese over Korean tho
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
Minion wheel below templar is...weird
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
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)
Is blight released on xbox?
boot it up, did it update?
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
probably useless
will be useless most likely
We start in 50min or 1h 50min?
the latter
^
wait so the +1 minion gem levels is only for active minion skills?
that's correct
hello Queue 🙂
😉
so uhhhhh
have we figured out yet if there will be an indicator to the blight lanes?
like, the screens from the legion info show the portals and their weakness https://i.imgur.com/1cAYAnO.jpg
but is there actually a way to tell which is which ?`
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
yeah grimro mentioned it , thought i ask if someone knows anything more yet
OH FUCK OFF, I logged in played... and then game crashes and did another patch... now gotta wait 30k people to join
fuck this
ah same boat as me then :))
So, have we figured out how to tell which towers to build?
cobra lash looks nice so far
no drag and drop rip
does infernal legion work with srs?
It should
it does
the symbols on the portals are what the enemies those portals spawn are resistant to, right?
I believe so, yes
wow
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
uhi so i guess i made it wrong doing the same as the ssymbols ... but still easy wins on the first few acts
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
I think Legion was a bit too one-dimensional
Blight has some interesting mechanics
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?
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
Anyone else not encountering Blight when in a party?
yeah 😦
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.
Cassia definitely needs more songs. Getting real tired of "Burning Away Our Sins".
yeah cassia's gonna get old fast
I can see that going for the whole league unless blighted maps are interesting
Or unless you can farm it repeatedly
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 😄
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
man i got oils on like my very first bligh encounter and havent gotten one on a successful one since
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
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) 
oh yeah forget, "your minions are SUPER agressives" 😏
you use tower ?
yeah, usually fire ones
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
the icons mean what they're resistant to. thanks for the tips.
Anyone have place any importance to the lightning tower?
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
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?
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
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
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
yeah, I'm using fire towers for the damage; freeze + minion is definitely the best combo for pure stall
maybe try to swift for some flame tower if you dont have yourself enough dps
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 ? ^^
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
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
at least it wasnt tooo easy 🙂
its been enjoyable so far though the guys that spam fireballs at you are sketchy
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)
Every mechanic scales with maps
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
how to get an oil? I should met some requirements or it is completely random?
its random
bug?
pro tip to whoever gets the same, look around the map.. found the last mob just standing on the other side of the map
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 😮
fire tower is ok if you have a straight line and use the incinerate upgrade
My current issue is single target so I use meteor + summoner building most of the time
Meteor is by far the best ST
i agree with the shock tower being the worst, chill and minion are my go to
Shock and seismic are tied for worst IMO
Then empowering, but I think empowering shines in the actual blighted maps
seismic can be good depending on situation
if there is a huge pileup of lanes its good
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?
are anoite items rare cuz im in act 2 now and i have yet to get one?
Did you kill the mobs?
you need to kill them al
Kill kill kill
kk
i have some oils i give a item to cassia and it says it cant be itonited
with SRS an instability .. if spirti explodes and killes an npc .. would that still trigger Phantasm ?
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 :/
Are minions spawned during TD affected by your auras/buffs for your own minions?
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.
Auras, yes @river apex
minion towers are best
and I agree with the guy that said the fireball spammers are a pain
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Tavukai
Would this increase damage of infernal legion and minion instability? The damage of legion is dealt by srs's after all
i havent seen clarissa for 7 instances is somethingwrong?
nice
Are you super overleveled? @granite perch
League mechanics typically don’t spawn in areas-10 levels from you in story
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
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.
delve broke then?
what are the best towers to use on minions without a resistance or weakness?
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
So when there is flame icon on the blight spawn does it mean these mobs are vulnarable to flame attacks or something ?
ok so opposite 😄 Thanks
damn 4 ways blights are tough
For 4 way upgrade towers next to the pump so you can defend it
And switch between branches
does anointing stacks with already allocated passive? Or there's no reason to anoint same passive as the allocated one?
It doesn't stack
thanks )
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
how many spectres are the typical spectre build getting nowadays?
thats pretty normal for spectres
seems kinda low idk
I thought older builds would get 5-6?
2 from gem + 2 from tree + 2 from gear?
ah so 5
and the armor gives 25 elemental as extra so maybe 4 new spectres is approximate to 5 old ones?
You can also still get +1 chests from delve, though I imagine they'll be expensive
pretty sure you can get +5 from tree and high level gem alone
Requires level 31 gem. Possible but hard
or midnight bargains if you're desperate
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
yeah it was kind of a joke to just jogg through the acts
Both running slave drivers
i didnt even use spectres - went skele burning legion with MI
and it melted everything
I'm doing regular skeles and same
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
should the instance crash in blighted map when using minion towers
Frost Sentinels (or something like that, the Ice Spear flags) are probably still good too
They are
i ahve just been puting lightning at the chokes and spamming fireball
and if i get lucky, a good buff one
Whats the max master you can stack?
ice towers to slow and aoe dmg to kill them , hard part is when summoners or snipers are stuck in the backrow
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
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?
it belongs to whoever bought the tower at the beginning of the encounter
🔇
whats that symbol that appears above the blight portal ui sometimes
looks kinda like a moon with tentacles
it means there will be a boss coming out from that portal
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
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?
resistant to
ok, and if there's a like ^2 with it, is that double resistant or means weak?
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
that is pretty nice
kinda: im in act7 with 950hp 700 shield and running with my 8 zombie + SRS .. and still ave 25 tree points open
anyone managed to clear a blight map yet?
every time i reach ~30s left my game goes to 5fps and i die
do tower symbols on portals tell you what the mobs are weak to?
not sure if its weak to or resistant to
I really want to say resistant to, because they just stormed through when i had 3 of the indicated tower lol
Would be more logic if that tell what they are resistant too, so you have more choice to do
true
2 days in and idk how this league works beside tower defense. 
It's what they're resistant to (and what type of mob they are/what type of damage they deal), yeah
Nevermind, the league ia actually quite simple but with good depth. 
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
once you are strong enough i guess its possible yeah
it was only a 3 lane one
so how do you tell what towers each type of mob is weak to?
mobs don't have weakness
they're only resistant to a certain tower
which is shown on the UI
so much minions, i dont need to build a single tower 😛
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 :/
Anyone having issues with Blight consistently instance crashing?
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
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
minion sup or infernal?
I like minion and fire the most
does quantity on blighted map increase blight fight rewards?
mobs in blighted map don't drop loot, so is it worth alch the map?
do you guys succeed to ended real blighted map ? fuck the lag kills it so much doesnt they test their game for real ?
monsters do drop loot, just at the end like incursions
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
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
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....
you dont die if you loose one .. just because you checked all the tower names ...
@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)
Do you get better loot etc based on how many tower points, or how much you actually attack etc?
or does nothing effect that?
Loot seems the same if I just ignore towers.
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
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
So are the icons in the portals resistances or super effective?
resistances
@atomic arrow I don't think the empower tower affects minions. No idea if they stack.
do map mods also affect the blight monsters? for instance, if the map has ''cannot be stunned'' mod, the stun tower becomes useless?
Okay dumb question but how do I actually use my master mission in atlas?
Talk to the master in question, IIRC
yup
tyvm
and then at the top there is master mission, put map and go to map device
@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
gotta love having the screen too cluttered to see the army of electric wheels coming for you
any news on the item update for PoB ?
a lot of items from 2-3 patches ago aren't in pob
yeah but even the gems?
ah just got thew news about pob update with the gems 🙂
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)
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?
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
blight maps are broken btw
with summoner game cant keep up with you after like 7 nodes and server kicks you out
isnt the bone armour skill on the ascendency quite useless .. coz this way you have to cast it yourself and cant do it automatically !?
the biggest thing about it is that it purges bleed from you and your minions
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 ...
The advantage there is that you can put other immunities/affixes on your flask
Yeah, I've been just using it for bleed. It is a bit less intuitive than using flasks though.
uh
a pack of roas
just froze
they dont move and arent targetable
it wont let me finish the blight
are blight maps worth doing? Or it's better to sell them? a t4 blighted map is 9 chaos atm
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
so when are blighted maps getting fixed
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
yeah final waves are really laggy
you get some rewards from mobs and any defended lanes
but real rewards are for actually winning
those shield enemies are really mean 😦
@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
its dominating blow doing like 10? mill
most of that is from herald of purity tho
the purity sentinels
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
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
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
ohh, I see! thank you! So its pretty much just nicer overall! Appreciate it
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.
Reminder that blight can just cheat when it feels like it
anyone else encoutering dcs when there is shitton of blight mobs ?
map is closing and cannot reenter it
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?
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
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
even so, if the closest tower is way the eff up in the top right of my screenshot it doesn't help
Yeah
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
They usually try to fix stuff like that yeah
maybe my next build should be chill focused
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?
Poedb has a section on them I think
Did you petrify them with multiple towers? I heard that it can brick a mob and make it permanently petrified
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
Bone roahs can be raised by enemy necros, so it's possible there is another respawning bug
man I hope this doesn't happen every blighted map
any idea when they are fixing blighted maps ?
hopefully really soon because i really want to finish one of them
they always crash at 1-2 min
do you just do tower defense then get loot or is there more nuance into it
other than oils and stuff
once you get to the blight maps its a real hard challenge
it's about 5-10x harder than usual
yea your looking at aroung 15 or so branches
the nodes just fill the whole bottom of the screen
people that can farm those consistantly gonna make tons of currency
i probably can if it didn't crash...
they just trying give rest of us a chance
whos the rest of us...
everyone but you 🙂
and what do you have against me
it was suppose to be a compliment
like there dcing you because rest of us are not as good
i havent even finished one yet
does anyone know what makes it crash? is it a tower combo, too much mobs, or just pretty much random?
I dont know I dont crash
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
ever since builidng this PC I dont have any issues at all with POE even when watching netflix.
you can tell it's the server because the portals/instance is gone
yes there are still plenty of instance crashes
not for me
have you finished one of the blight maps @wheat lance
not yet
that's where the instance crashes are lol
there you go
the game doesn't crash
no one crashes in normal maps lol
the instance just can't handle how ham the blighted maps get
its just the blighted maps
you mean the issue with mobs freezing
no
because I konw about that
it'll look like the game disconnects you back to the login screen
because it literally closes the map you're in
ok then yea thats server side sorry thought you meant poe closed out
it's not surprising given how ridiculous blighted maps get towards the last 2 minutes
yep
yea ive seen them
I don't think they've ever tried putting that many things on screen
the whole map is red
its like breach league with 5x mobs lol
as well as just being tankier
might be why not many finishing them the ones I saw the instance didnt close but the mobs froze so couldnt finish it
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
looking to make a new build that won'tr
*crash out and lose my blight maps
does knockback work on blight minions?
you can still freeze/ stun them in place with towers
knockback and stun work on most blight mobs except the phys redistant ones
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
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?
so far my poison bladefall has been solid
I wonder if reverse knockback totems would work on this? or are they dead atm
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
they should let us heal the pump with those points
imo all TD games have some sort of heal
lol
lol 😄
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.
3.5k hp is pretty low
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
If its a blight encounter u should be fine
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
If its a blighted map ur going to get ur ass kicked
Could be them trying to attack my HoA or ice golem and just hitting me instead but that's pretty annoying
Mobs wont attack hoag
what anointing enchantments are best for a necro? on amulet etc
@copper kernel it's more about the map :3
Depends on ur build @vernal stream
anyone else having issues finishing blighted maps?
i get stuck at the same node every time
always crash on blight maps; even though I have a fairly good PC and SSD
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
Story of the league
i put down a bunch of seismic towers and permastunned a bunch of mobs so there were a ton on the screen
Im just saving all mine now
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
i like the idea of adding short breaks
lessens load plus gives time to spend my like 30k currency
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
So are blighted maps just straight broken atm and always crash?
2 for 2 on instance crashes so far in blighted maps
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
Yeah, my plan is to basically not play the new maps becauuse having all that loot/rewards just erased is garbage and untested :/
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
what's the name of the white colored oil ?
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
That is kinda obvious with that avatar
So the icons on the towers are what they are resistant to or weak to
Resistant
Ty
So have people found good tower combinations for blighted maps?
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.
Any eta on blight maps lag fix yet?
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..?
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
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
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
Did a 6lane tier8 map with towers only
Anoint your rings for tower buffs, those help a lot
Whatever you like doing with towers
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
High level map drop low tier oil?
Yh
Higher maps just unlock oil drop pools, doesnt mean it will always drop highest
Feels like alot of people are going to oil additional curse.
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.
coh & flasks exists
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.
How are people finding mines or poison for clearing blighted maps?
my friend keeps saying "pyroclast mines are broken as fuck, wtf"
so i'd hazard a guess at good.
icicle with chain is probably super good too.
pretty much, the ramp mechanic is a bit weird
a friend of mine complained about poison not holding up against bigger blights
probably because everyone falls for the coralito trap
The what trap?
that is severely nerfs your on hit damage in exchange for some duration that is basically worhtless except for long fights.
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
there is an issue with the petrification towers
Monster suddenly stop walking
especially if you have two overlapping
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
i mean you literally lose all your hit damage but sure.
on a clearing basis its strictly worse than picking up the keystone.
Hit damage isn't more than like 2k
I had an awesome little build idea
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
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
Coralito is pretty good on toxic rain. Hit damage doesnt matter.
@silver kettle cobralash for anything above yellows felt meh
Yeah same thing my friend said
i guess without the chain changes it would be way better
tbh it would feel way better if they would have given it projectiles pierce all targets
good to know, figured that might be the case
rip this +3 cobra lash chain enchant I found
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
respecced into coc nova instead since i didn't particularly like cobra lash
the 1ex cospris hurt tho
guys while doing blight there are icons on some portals - thats weaknesses of monsters from this portal or resistance?
resistances
cool, thx
Not just resistance but straight up immunity
My fire towers weren't even shooting at mobs from a fire portal
At least they dont shoot at them.
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
unless it specifically says on the gem that the DoT is affected by spell damage it isnt
what's DoT?
Damage over Time
Because infernal legion deals damage over time
I imagine it scales with minion damage as well?
Idk if it scales with you taking fire damage from the tree, not sure
"damage per second" is counted as damage over time?
That is accurate @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
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
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
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
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
Thats what i wanted to know, thanks
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)
look at bottom bar where monster weakness are shown
you will need to pick damaging tower that is not on the list
so if there is fire on the bottom bar i pick ice?
so.... no matter what i pick just to pick one that is not shown down below?
isnt that like one speccific is super effective while other are only good?
oh
all other towers do their normal damage
that weakness to tower does pretty much none to its own type
and whats better to focus? more low lvl towers or go big with 2 or 3
start with few low level ones
like empower tower, damage tower and cc tower
then keep upgrading damage one
...
build cc towers on other lanes where you are not watching
thats what im doing most of the time and it looks like it doesnt work at all
or just generic same tower spam might work too
if there are no minion resistance those are really really good
i heard spamming minion towers works
summoner build just rolls every blight encounter without caring about towers
well... im frost blades raider
imma try those minion
maybe they could hold them for long enough for me to finally take them down
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
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
So how pc melting are blight maps as a mass summoner necro exactly?
Heard it just crashes out on heavy blight maps
Y E E T
Not really cuz pc intensive or anythin but because poe codes are just shit
Yeah when i said that I got bashed for it but the game is not optimized
Sorry for the dumb question, but are all annointable nodes unique in their color combo? so there is no randomness to the crafting
When you hover over the node, in game, it shows you the specific combination
Also the forum has the full list @inland summit
I have crashed 2/3 of blighted maps as a necromancer. Not even mass summoning one.
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" !!! 🙃
Are blight always a conga line of monsters? Or are there gaps at some point?
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 
The portals active and deactive but there are always some portals open.
When monsters are real it's less crazy
Minion Life Matters !!!
Except for HoAg
why am i not winning? there are no mobs left i can target, but the map says otherwise
Common bug right now @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?
Collect what you can and move on imo
what the fuck...
any ETA when this will be fixed
kind of makes the entire damn league pointless
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
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
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
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
You’re lucky , most dc and lose their maps@
Nah i tried that myself doesnt work
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
It's on their list of high priority known issues so they are definitely working on it. @serene wing
do we know if keeping the pump healthy affects the loot at the end? (not the chests)
where can i get the list of all the oiled ring enchants?
@raw dew http://poedb.tw/us/BlightCrafting
ty very much
well somehow I just won a blight so hard it deleted the instance
How does melee do the encounters? The mobs seem to hit hard fast enough to make it difficult
Not to mention needing multiple lanes
anyone found a good map and a mf build to farm?
I thought you said a google map and i had so much questions
lol blgiht doesnt spawn on google maps
People seem to like indoor maps for blight events so i guess indoor maps
I know i just need sleep
ya i noticed it works great with indoor maps too
just cant decide on the build yet to farm with
Maybe Burial chambers to farm 2 things at once?
Doctors hate him find out his trick
Tbh i would probably go tower, i always liked tower layout
But don't listen to me
Tower or Toxic Sewers seem best to me
Layout-wise
And drops
No idea about tiers
