uh

#

if i understood you

#

no

#

player buff towers don't affect other towers

#

you have to leave them at t3 if you want tower buff towers still

cobalt falcon
#

Will t3 buff t4 buff?

past badger
#

As in t3 buff towers can buff t4's?

tired knot
#

i think he meant if t3 buff towers could buff the effects of t4 empower/debuff towers

autumn snow
#

they can

versed saffron
#

um

violet nymph
#

What’s the meta for blight towers ?

vast bay
#

Fire and ice with support towers between them.. But if that's what most monsters are immune to , then you just spam other types.. Also check out tower enchants for ring.. 'Meteor towers ( lvl 4 fire tower ) always stun' is a great one.

vast gazelle
#

Temporal and glacial cage with some meteor towers for dps

wind edge
#

i just spam a ton of the minion towers because even if the enemies are immune to them they still get kind of body blocked in the lane and it slows them down a bit

low kindle
#

I spam whatever towers there are no resistance against

#

Between fire, lightning and minion there is usually one type that doesn't get countered

#

As for blight maps, do the same but help with empowering towers with 2x range anoint

thorny vortex
#

been liking lots of glacial cage (with 2x glacial cage cd recovery speed anoints) with some scout towers thrown in some places for damage. the profane bloom explosions are quite fun when theyre all packed together

copper kernel
#

no

tidal ruin
#

souls of steel

slender temple
#

Is that the three Golden oil one ?

slender temple
#

Laughs in Marauder

austere anvil
#

Is the legion sextant challlenge still bugged

slender temple
#

Probably

mortal yarrow
#

@austere anvil bugged how?

austere anvil
#

you could do the sextant challenge by using scarabs and any random sextant mods applied around a month or so ago. @mortal yarrow

#

wanted to know if it got fixed or not

mortal yarrow
#

why not test it :o

austere anvil
#

I already have the challenge comepleted

#

using(abusing) the bug

#

a friend of mine needed it and we tried using scarab but apparently a random sextant needed to be applied as well

#

will see

violet nymph
#

oh

#

abusing an exploit

#

that's a no.

slender temple
#

im not gonna test i got my 24 chalenges and didnt get that particualr one 😄

violet nymph
#

cant wait for 3.9 to drop

#

everything is being nerfed

slender temple
#

skitterbots bye bye

vast gazelle
#

i got it in like 20 yellow sextants

#

it was the last challenge i did

#

you just cant get it on white ones

austere anvil
#

white sextants can't roll legion

#

bug is different from exploit

heavy bolt
#

i do temporal with flame thrower pretty nice combo

red lantern
#

Any intel on 3.9?

copper kernel
#

not really

#

its getting announced this weekend

slender temple
#

Animated guardian league

#

Full inventory page please

light shore
#

what should i annoint my rings wiht

patent canyon
#

with tower anoints you use most

light shore
#

scouts, frost cages empowering and sometimes meteor/flamethrower, which should i prioritise in that case?

patent canyon
#

any of those

#

it doesnt really matter, play around with each and decide what feels best for you

runic zephyr
slender temple
#

ok so i have done like 100s of blights and only now im finally seeing the flame throwing ass hats that everyone is complaining about. i actually had to leap slam away a few times on my invincible jugg to not die

#

every other blight has them now

#

do i need to bring a ruby flask?

fallow pine
#

Need to? No

#

Can you? Yes

bright cloud
#

does blight map loot scale with amount of party members?

#

I mean not only from the pump, but from the caches as well

runic zephyr
#

no, the chests are not affected by quantity at all

#

i dont think there is anything in the game affecting the chests, other than annoints and drop level

violet nymph
#

Map quant influences chest drops

#

Not player quant

barren crescent
#

blight is going to be turned TO ASH, TO ASH

surreal helm
#

How have people been liking "The Stampede" boots?

#

I heard people are using it with cyclone so it doesn't slow them down

slender temple
#

yeah

barren crescent
#

idk, I didn't get a single blight league unique

#

got 24 challs and did multiple high red tier blighted maps

violet nymph
#

lol

#

there are 10 people on the poe.ninja ladder who are both using the stampede and have cyclone as a main skill

#

so apparently people don't understand the interaction

winter jolt
#

Hey, any dead eye ice shot rangers around?

leaden osprey
#

how long does this blight thing still last?

violet nymph
#

December 3rd ish

quaint umbra
#

its branching, exile

stone sandal
#

nEw ROOOTS

amber trellis
#

so

naive marsh
#

That's a yikes for me dogg

runic zephyr
#

whyd they rename the channel?

#

where do i discuss the blight league now?

fallen tulip
#

you dont its over

runic zephyr
#

blight goes till dec 3rd

small mirage
#

theres nothing to discuss anymore

#

everything is known

delicate narwhal
#

"current blight league" in channel description

slender temple
#

Hehe new guy wants to study blight and make stuff instead of cassia and her pointless purging with fire

fresh carbon
#

can someone tell me about conquerer thing, i closed the stream while he was talking about that

fallen tulip
#

Each sample contributes abilities to this boss, who wildly morphs from form to form during the encounter. With careful selection of samples, you control which abilities the boss has and what rewards it yields.

#

yall think we will be getting Wolf in 3.9?

#

also lmao Ancestral Call Plus Support

#

+3 targets for strike skills

#

with Tribal Fury thats 5 targets

#

throw Melee splash on that and youre hitting a shitload of enemies

teal axle
#

tribal fury will be expensive depending how blight is integrated

#

at the higher end yes, but I don't think they'll be super accessible in the future

violet nymph
#

so, 3.9 is metamorph?

azure mauve
#

yes

violet nymph
#

ooh its metamorph + CONQUEROR

stoic island
#

is there any (even an eastimate) release date for metamorph?

broken urchin
#

13th

#

It's on the page for it

bitter ledge
#

Can you use 'plus' support gems alongside regular supporting gems?

#

Like ancestral call plus and ancestral call in one link?

valid isle
#

Im curious about that blasphemy support gem plus, because its mana reservation is worded differently.

#

now i get to be curious about what to league start with though. I was thinking id just do essence drain, but if there is a bow rework exaltThink

bitter ledge
#

If it's possible, then just imagine Flicker strike + Multistrike + faster attacks + Multistrike plus + Faster attack plus + Some damage ability

#

Did you see the new ballista gems?

#

I'm just curious on how the summoners will be nerfed

valid isle
#

so many options lol

deep wave
#

Minions buff in 3.9

valid isle
#

Too bad we have to wait another month to play the new league D:

thorny vortex
#

i read lots of animorphs as a kid... ama

hollow osprey
#

Applegate is a hack

#

Anyways its sad that a League named Metamorph and we don't have any shapeshifting skills lol

thorny vortex
#

is it only the new bow gems/supports being added for 3.9?

fallen tulip
#

pretty much yeah

#

new atlas too (so the support plus gems)

valid isle
#

im still bothered by the new atlus thing 😦

#

exiles gone mad, they are the new bosses. Yet only 5 of them are bosses. My OCD is angry lol.

hollow osprey
#

So its still kinda weird to see only bows got the treatment

#

Look at my name

#

IS THERE JUSTICE?

valid isle
#

well, some of the bow supports apply to wands too

#

like barrage

#

so while wands are still gonna be lame for a bit, at least you will have better supports finally.

#

barrage kinetic blast will probably be stupid too.

#

you can hit the same mob with like 30 explosions.

hollow osprey
#

I hope they considered that bow builds are extremely beginner-unfriendly

valid isle
#

thats probably why the rework

#

it touched on making bow leveling better

wet plaza
#

not sure why they'd be beginner unfriendly

vast gazelle
#

I suspect barrage is being removed in favor of being a support?

hollow osprey
#

Its hard to do a bow build at the start of a League

#

Probably

wet plaza
#

not really

#

ever since roa got buffed it's a breeze

deep wave
#

Wait are aurabots dead?

hollow osprey
#

No

#

?

deep wave
#

8 max skills

#

You can't socket a skill gem in a skill gem

#

And 8 skills is the max one can get

#

So aurabots=dead?

hollow osprey
#

That's tooo far man

#

Won't be seeing it in about 2 or 3 years

deep wave
#

4 more expansions

hollow osprey
#

Ah shit if this is Animorph League, will I had to lead a bunch of children with disability into a suicide job?

deep wave
#

So 1-1.5 yrs?

hollow osprey
#

I mean Animorphs got WAYYYYY dark

west fiber
#

oh my fucking G

#

new EXALTSSSSSS , new STUFFF, NEW EEEEND GAMEEE

#

omfg

#

ooooh

rare gazelle
#

Aurabot aren’t dead

autumn locust
#

@deep wave enlighten is reworked to be a gem that you socket auras into

rare gazelle
#

There gonna be a new gem for aura sockets

hollow osprey
#

Oh god 4 new exalts

#

Like the current exalt isn't rare enough

#

Also Conquerors of the Atlas is probably the most meta League/Expansion ever

vast gazelle
#

Honestly I hope they increase drop rate

west fiber
#

but holy shit\

#

with all the currency modifications/gem reworks/everything rework

#

this shall be interesting

violet nymph
#

you know

#

if they just released the metamorph trailer today

#

i'd have been fucking hyped

vernal knot
#

now I can clear burial in 40 seconds

hollow osprey
#

Cassia: and the unrighteous were turn to ash

#

Alch dude: yo

#

My stuff is definately unrighteous all right

#

Also this League is more simple than Blight

vapid agate
#

wait what

#

havent been watching ls, from the notes itself it seems much more complicated

violet nymph
#

Skylanders imaginators

tidal ruin
#

when do I get to fight 4 shapers at once

thorny vortex
#

in b4 10 coc build

#

wrong channel

hollow osprey
#

Metamorph feels easier than Blight

#

As in... Less things to management

lucid stone
#

Holy crap power creep

#

Fork Plus

#

Plus gems

#

I am sad that most of the new gems are bow exclusive

hollow osprey
#

Its the last line up

#

We got a Melee exclusive League

#

A Minion/Traps and Mines/Poison exclusive League

#

Now its a Ranged Exclusive League

vague urchin
#

The trick is to not play ranged

#

Play the new stuff from last league

tidal ruin
#

it'll be cheap and good

spice cipher
#

That’s smort

tidal ruin
#

although, I suspect nobody played poison last league due to the prices on poison gear

#

or, relatively few people I guess

spice cipher
#

Damn

#

Just realized, with the new gem changes that poison might be easier to scale effectively

tidal ruin
#

in the future or this league?

spice cipher
#

Future

#

Having 6l poison skills with 6l totem support and aura support ?

tidal ruin
#

it already scales really quickly, doesn't it?

spice cipher
#

Eh kinda

tidal ruin
#

like we needing shapers per second here

#

or just poison with non-poison skills

spice cipher
#

It’s super socket starved imo

#

Right now

tidal ruin
#

maybe it's cuz I haven't really touched endgame

spice cipher
#

Cause ideally want dw dagger/claw so only one 6l

tidal ruin
#

but once you start hitting 3m dps off 1 aura what more do you need

spice cipher
#

I invested all into dmg basically and had like 1.5-2m dps

#

Idk I had a hard time personally

#

I know some people in the disc had pob with like 3m+ but I never could get there easily

tidal ruin
#

hmmm

#

I don't have my daggers in pob, I'm probably doing less dmg than I think exaltThink

#

oh but I don't have a lot of my other gear either

#

lemme show off my jank-ass build if you don't mind :L

old egret
#

if the new gem system launched tomorrow, minions would be even more broken. 6L zombies, skeles, AND spectres all together? yikes.

hollow osprey
#

Okay anyone wanna bet they made Sharpnel Arrow and Explosive Arrow better?

old egret
#

obviously they are balancing things around that, but still funny to think about

hollow osprey
#

Oh god I realized something: when Zana asked us if we are still sane, she WAS PREPARING FOR THIS

#

She already know that we are gonna get mad with maps and only want more power

#

Also did you see the trailer progression: it goes from normal builds to screen clearing ones, which is a reference to US, the players who are obssessed with powers

#

This had to be the most meta Expansion ever made by mankind

tame otter
#

By mankind, for mankind.

hollow osprey
#

So what if Harbingers were just us

#

We the Exiles are in a constant loop of fate where the successors are doomed to fight against the precussors and take their place instead

tidal ruin
#

elder is just shaper from the future

#

harbingers are just exiles from the future

spice cipher
#

Honestly ggg has the most original league ideas of any game

#

I’m hyped af for this league mechanic , I just hope endgame is more accessible than blight

timid geyser
#

Yeah, should be neat. jewelry quality is pretty interesting as well.

#

One really cool thing I was thinking about was 5% reduced mana reservation mod should be able to hit 6% with life/mana catalyst.

spice cipher
#

Need to watch the vod

#

Cause I missed the entire thing

timid geyser
#

Your in for a great time 🙂

spice cipher
#

Sounds like it was received well

worn hill
#

giiiiirl we go together like aluminium and gallium

strong barn
#

After settling from the excitement, i feel the presentation really was excellent. They were very careful not to even hint at any problems with the new system(s) and focus on the exciting aspects

zenith warren
#

So new league in good thing a month + a atlas rework, sweet 😁

silver kettle
#

And bow skill revamp!

strong barn
#

The new atlas sounds really awesome, too. They made it sound like it's pretty much interactive with socketing, as if you can change what you're farming in between maps

zenith warren
#

Mhm

#

Bow rework seems nice

#

More mapping, so zana can exile more exiles whom have gone mad due mapping!

hollow osprey
#

Yeah bow skill revamp BUT NOT WANDS?

#

AHHHHHHH

wet plaza
#

inb4 ballista forgotten and still in the dumpster

zenith warren
#

Guess they buff the weaponclass, that is already one of the best? 😁

eager terrace
#

wasn't ballista one of the main reworks they showed off

wet plaza
#

looked more like a new ballista type skill with low-medium range

eager terrace
#

there were multiple ballistas I thought

#

one was like a siege support ballista

wet plaza
#

oic was only seeing the first 2h or so before going to bed

eager terrace
#

yeah I think they reworked ballista totem so there are like 3 primary types of ballistas now

#

one is point blank with shotgun capability, one is more normal gunner, one shoots straight up and rains areas down

wet plaza
#

ah so the second one should be the current one with some tweaks i'd guess

eager terrace
#

from what I gathered the standard ballista is basically RAT now

midnight phoenix
#

^

#

the blast rain ballista looks almost playable

eager terrace
#

iron commander stuff is probably gonna be doink

midnight phoenix
#

iron commander is never doink

wet plaza
#

dunno i liked current ballista for the offscreens, not sure if that'll still be a thing with any ballista form now

midnight phoenix
#

the blast rain one looked like it covered a decent aoe

#

the short range one looked indistinguishable from shrapnel shot RAT

eager terrace
#

yeah I'm not sure how those are separated

wet plaza
#

yeah that one left me pretty unimpressed but i havent seen the rest yet

silver kettle
#

The AoE on the blast rain one seemed bloody massive

eager terrace
#

I mean I guess you save a socket

silver kettle
#

Might compensate for the double delay of placing a ballista then waiting for the rain

wet plaza
#

thats my main issue with the aoe type totems

#

proj based ones just have the potential to be more useful faster

eager terrace
#

yeah it's why I tend to favor fast proj totems

#

FP, holy flame

midnight phoenix
#

i mean its all academic for me

eager terrace
#

I could see the shrapnel ballista being really stupid single target

midnight phoenix
#

not like im ever gonna play something as slow clearing as totem builds as long as mapping is the endgame

eager terrace
#

but I guess a lot of totem builds check that box

wet plaza
#

dunno ballista deadeye will always be on the faster end of totem builds for me

#

definitely ok

hollow osprey
#

Congrats,Faust

#

Your dream had came true

#

Balistae are now meta again.... Sort of.

wet plaza
#

i've never dreamt of them being meta tho, just always liked the fantasy

#

still great

hollow osprey
#

Well but totem players are still the minority

#

So as current Wanders

wet plaza
#

dont think thatll ever change

midnight phoenix
#

well

wet plaza
#

they were great as starters but we have better options for that now too

midnight phoenix
#

im going to try at some point how kb barrage support clears

#

cos it sounds like comedy

wet plaza
#

just watching the vod so let's see

#

would be great if we got some dot scaling for minions

hollow osprey
#

So will the Barrage Jewel changed into something else?

eager terrace
#

barrage is a support now

hollow osprey
#

No the thereshold jewel

eager terrace
#

oh, yeah presumably that jewel dies

hollow osprey
#

The one that gives Barrage more spread

#

Also YO

#

ARROW NOVA TORNADO SHOT

midnight phoenix
#

is that even good tho

eager terrace
#

they're gonna make sure tornado shot is crippled

#

at least for one league

hollow osprey
#

Okay heres how it works

#

You fire one arrow into the location

#

It will spread into 5 more arrows

#

Now as we all know about TS, it will turn into a small nova of arrows after a set distance

#

So what you have is essentially cover a pack with 5 novas

wet plaza
#

with ensnaring arrows they're really buffing bleed glad, neat

midnight phoenix
#

or instead i could fire ts without this support and clear the pack in the first hit

eager terrace
#

maybe lol

midnight phoenix
#

ts is good skill like that

hollow osprey
#

Yeah but its not fun

#

I want fun

eager terrace
#

TS nerf plus big monster life increase

hollow osprey
#

Or just strap TS with Barrage Support

eager terrace
#

I think they'll go out of their way to gimp TS

hollow osprey
#

A thing about Barrage Support though

#

The cover area is extremely small

#

So its essentially gonna be good against bosses but terrible with clearing

#

Also. Barrage Support is essentially the ranged version of Multistrike/Spell Echo

eager terrace
#

so are all maps white tier by default in 3.9

hollow osprey
#

Thats for Part 2 of the endgame

#

I think.

#

Or is it?

eager terrace
#

the new atlas stuff is 3.9

#

but I was just thinking it implies all map items will be one tier basically

hollow osprey
#

No I thought the entire CoTA won't happened until you killed UE for the first time

eager terrace
#

I think it is just where the atlas starts now

#

the story has moved forward

hollow osprey
#

Huh

#

So is it gonna be harder to farm for UE/S stuffs now?

eager terrace
#

quite

#

at the moment they said shaper / elder are only accessible through zana

#

but may expand access to them a bit before it releases

hollow osprey
#

Fuck, Eternity Shroud going up in price IS NOT what I had expected

bitter ledge
#

Has it been revealed if you can put plus support gems with regular support gems?

#

Like plus added cold damage with regular added cold damage?

copper kernel
#

I don't think so, but chances are no

violet nymph
#

yo guys, do you know if we will get the new graphics in 3.9? or only updated act 1?

fallen tulip
#

neither?

copper kernel
#

We do get new a1 in 3.9

barren crescent
#

town != act

zenith warren
#

We get a new town? Thought that will tale till 4.0?

velvet palm
#

It's just a visual update

#

It's not NEW new

worldly scaffold
#

damn im hype for these bosses

#

I wonder what the league specific loot will be like

barren crescent
#

Uly, did you get a single blight league unique item?

patent canyon
#

and how many blighted maps you dropped

wet plaza
#

got none

barren crescent
#

Because I personally am not counting on getting a single league specific unique item as "average" player. That became apparent during blight league

patent canyon
#

not just blight

wet plaza
#

in synth i got 2 uniques in 2.5 months

#

very gr8

patent canyon
#

it goes way back

barren crescent
#

Legion was fine due to sheer amount of loot

#

there i got a couple

wet plaza
#

legion i found 2 maybe

#

2x flask thats it

#

still sad they made good shit legion only

worldly scaffold
#

@barren crescent blight was so bad I quit before maps

#

optimization sucked and the league mechanic was much more boring than I thought

#

its the first league I skipped since I started in legacy too

#

👌

barren crescent
#

It just always feels that if I'm not able to sink 500h+ into a league I won't get to experience even half of the league's content

#

am I just that bad or what

wet plaza
#

shouldve skipped legacy uly

worldly scaffold
#

werent blighted maps notoriously rare

wet plaza
#

even if i sink plenty time i barely get shit done

barren crescent
#

I did quite a few blighted maps

wet plaza
#

and not finding at least half of the league unique is kinda bad in itself imo

barren crescent
#

just no league uniqs

wet plaza
#

cant find marohi in ssf easily anymore, no pledge and other cool shit too

#

gating existing stuff behind legion was even more of a kick in the nuts

barren crescent
#

I had same during Incursion, I recently checked my std stash and I think I found my incursion tab, 3 vials 0 uniq bases

worldly scaffold
#

dont get me started on vials

#

since incursion I sunk 200h+ every league without avoiding incursion encounters

barren crescent
#

Delve league, 0 auls

worldly scaffold
#

amd ive gotten one notewortht vial

barren crescent
#

I found 1 fucking aul city node

#

in the entire league

#

and I pushed for 99

worldly scaffold
#

how deep were you

barren crescent
#

like 600-700 if I remember correctly

worldly scaffold
#

the deeper you go the better the chances, so at least you can make it more likely for these to appear

barren crescent
#

I know

#

but GL getting that deep due to sulphite gains

worldly scaffold
#

but with incursion its just sub 1% droprates

#

in delve I got to 650

#

met 3 or 4 auls

#

and like 1 ahuatotli

barren crescent
#

I had couple of those vaal bosses

#

1 Abyss boss

#

0 auls

#

to this day, 0 auls found

worldly scaffold
#

rip

barren crescent
#

but then again I haven't really pushed delve in these recent leagues

#

so thats on me

worldly scaffold
#

Ive met one every league except for legion

#

and blight ofc as I didnt play it

wet plaza
#

ive been stopped from delving thanks to privjet league

#

got shafted by the master changes

#

since bestiary is back i found exactly 1 boss - 1x crab

worldly scaffold
#

I found like 4 tigers to this day

barren crescent
#

This league I simply was not doing any master content as I wasn't forced

#

so I was always banking "maybe I'll get better maps to use these on"

#

then I got bummed out for not encountering delve/incursion/bestiary

wet plaza
#

i'd prefer the old masters

#

a toggle would be great

marsh wagon
#

when is meta expected?

patent canyon
#

league or whats strong?

copper kernel
#

A week after launch

marsh wagon
#

when is the new league expected

patent canyon
#

13th'ish or so

marsh wagon
#

dec 13?

patent canyon
#

yh

marsh wagon
#

are the 5 sealed poe2 bosses from the original classes?

low kindle
#

Doubt so

marsh wagon
#

guess i'll be ready to try it out in dec

patent canyon
#

december next year

#

maybe

quaint umbra
#

its metamorphing, exile???

wide totem
#

5 sealed bosses?

#

The new end-game exile bosses?

serene summit
#

Create your own boss, eh?

#

Interesting

slender temple
#

So you guys theory crafting ballista builds now ? :)

patent canyon
#

with access to multiple 6Ls i really want to make that shotgun turret a thing for satisfying boss deletions

wet plaza
#

way ahead, i have tons :>

hollow osprey
#

So, Fausty

#

Do you think

#

Iron Commander will get a Fated version?

wet plaza
#

dont think it's really needed

#

might even get hit before 3.9

#

it'd be kinda cool tho

hollow osprey
#

It will get touched alright

#

You can't rework a skill and then do NOTHING about the only item in the game that is unique to it

wet plaza
#

we had a minion league and many minion uniques didnt get touched and even some minion skills

#

so i think i'd still be cautious

hollow osprey
#

Not really

#

Those are more of generic summons

#

Balista has Iron Commander EXCLUSIVELY for it

#

So Gx3 is probably doing something with it

autumn snow
#

gx3 😩

paper pollen
#

gx3

chilly rivet
#

Can someone explain me how gx3 is more practical than ggg? Prettysure g is clickable 3 times.

copper kernel
#

Its not

quaint umbra
#

gx3 templarLul

remote heart
#

G^3

#

gx3 is just g time 3, but g^3 is what you really want

zenith warren
#

What you really really want?

quaint umbra
#

i want pictures of spider man

patent canyon
#

functional league from day 1

autumn snow
#

don't dream

patent canyon
#

ok... 24h for bug fixing instead of 1 month

#

is that realistic?

autumn snow
#

nope

spice cipher
#

3-7 days

patent canyon
#

not being able to play league content is really big turn off

#

7 days is too much, i am thinking of quiting league by that point

#

just the whole fact that the build I was playing was fun is the reason i even played blight for whole 2 weeks

spice cipher
#

I waited a few days till I started playing

slender temple
#

Early exploiting reward for racing

#

Im slow so I won't benefit

lucid stone
#

What is 'mana reservation override'

eager charm
#

it forces mana reservation to that amount before modifiers

tough osprey
#

tbh i really doubt the league is going to be function from day 1

#

but in a far better position than blight started in 100%

#

this rapid boss change mechanic is going to be really weird and tough to iron out all of the problems without some god testing in the development stage

#

ofc they still have a month to make it better

#

but all patches essentially come with their own host of problems

#

especially given that we're getting a brand new league ontop of an expansion at the same time

zenith warren
#

Why not just make a beta before every league

wet plaza
#

effort, people get burnt out before the league, people get knowledge about the mechanic and stuff gets leaked

tough osprey
#

yeah

#

sorta removes a lot of the magic from the first 2 weeks where people don't realistically know all the interactions and how stuff works out patch wise

#

it was speculated mines were gonna be wild but only 3% of people on poe ninja are using ice mine

copper kernel
#

idk what speculations you were looking at

autumn snow
#

there are many things missing yet to release a beta imo

patent canyon
#

act1 beta

#

and leagues are always beta tested by us for first month

silver kettle
#

Releasing a proper beta would be completely impossible with the time-frame they operate on

wet harbor
#

is this THE molten strike league? exaltThink

patent canyon
#

if they murder some skill it is unlikely to see it being buffed so if i were you id forget ms

worldly scaffold
#

this is the bow league

#

:<

brisk sandal
#

i vote for g³

hoary snow
#

My first character was bows

#

It’ll be nice to return to that

rich orbit
#

Bows are my favourite thing in games also Mages too

#

So i will play mage with a bow next league 100%

last river
#

inb4 bow caster affixes left in the dust

barren crescent
#

that would be nice

lucid stone
#

Caster bows as a separate base

hazy raptor
#

man ole man i hope metamorph comes with some sick alchemical/potion holding and dangleing cosmetics...i so wanna make a mad scientist shadow

rocky bridge
#

so do you guys think iron commander will affect all ballista

wide totem
#

They said it will

#

or rather I think it was chris that said "It will work"

small mirage
#

Neon said it would work

rocky bridge
#

BRUH

lucid stone
#

Iron Commander OP now, or are they gonna nerf it to 1 per 500 dex?

hollow osprey
#

Ah the Curtain Call meme

#

We don't know what are the new stats for the Balistas yet

formal crypt
#

Will caustic arrow be enough to interact with the league?

#

Don't know how it compares for bossing

midnight phoenix
#

currently CA struggles on bosses

#

it will likely have a balance pass since it is a bow skill

formal crypt
#

toxic rain to support?

midnight phoenix
#

it may not get buffed significantly though

#

toxic rain is fine on both bosses and clear

formal crypt
#

Or maybe agony crawler will be enough

#

for bossing

midnight phoenix
#

thats all agony crawler is good at

#

killing bosses with no investment

formal crypt
#

sounds like a plan then

#

use frenzy - barrage - poison on hit for bossing too

#

charges and virulence forever

midnight phoenix
#

u need to at least 4l the crawler of course

formal crypt
#

yeah

midnight phoenix
#

which takes like 55% of ur mana

formal crypt
#

what should it have?

#

in supports

midnight phoenix
#

but sure i dont see any major issues with that

formal crypt
#

gmp?

#

vicious proj?

midnight phoenix
#

uh dofl minion damage and vicious projectiles i think is the best 3 support gems

#

check pob

formal crypt
#

faster attacks?

midnight phoenix
#

agony crawler has 120 inc aspd at max stacks

#

some more inc aspd is pretty garbage for scaling

formal crypt
#

hmm

#

slower projectiles?

#

or withering touch

deft girder
#

Toxic rain needs a mana cost reduction.

potent pelican
#

quill rain toxic rain

deft girder
#

Yea but it doesn't scale that well anymore. :x

#

I just run a +3 vp bow with mines. Makes that scary 800 mana/sec cost into 40 mana/sec

slender temple
#

@hazy raptor i bet your right about the cosmetics

hollow osprey
#

Bow builds all have extremely big mana costsz

cobalt falcon
#

They confirm new support barrage? Or change of barrage?

low kindle
#

support

#

barrage skill fate is unknown

barren crescent
#

Barrage Barrage

eager charm
#

barrage barrage with arrow nova

low kindle
#

current plan is rain of arrows barrage

#

fire 26 arrows that can shotgun

patent canyon
#

120% rain skills cannot be supported by barrage

small mirage
#

Are rain skills still gonna be around anyway

#

Wait was there a rain support

#

Or am I getting mixed up

patent canyon
#

2 of them

#

one is for poe2 the flare skill and other is similar but not actually rain skill

#

you shoot at location and from where the projectiles fire in nova

barren crescent
#

Those shrapnel ballistas will be some meme tier boss dps

#

slap some Arborix+Impale Champ on it

#

and it be shredding

wet plaza
#

inb4 changed to have dmg convert

barren crescent
#

ye idk why they changed the name

wet plaza
#

of what

barren crescent
#

Galvanic arrow is old shrapnel, right?

wet plaza
#

makes more sense this way, shrapnel shot didnt really have shrapnels

barren crescent
#

tru

brisk sandal
#

we already have the new gems?

brave pulsar
violet nymph
#

Metamorph looks spicy as hell

Quick question, you can't annoint talismans because they're corrupted right?

y

zenith warren

Exactly

Fuuuuuuuck me

I mean, I'm still only on the planning stage but still fuuuuuck

Thank you

Won't they get cold? :^(

tired knot

That fridge tho

#

Something fishy is going on

indigo sluice
#

are you making pickles in fish water?

teal axle
#

hey lads
Do we know if the leash of oblation belt works like mistress of sacrifice, where offerings affect you, or just lets you have multiple running
https://imgur.com/us2cmPX

#

I feel like its the latter

silver kettle
#

it just lets you have multiple running. you have to stack mistress of sacrifice or queen's hunger on top of it to have them also affect you

teal axle
#

queen's hunger?

#

ah

#

because its only offerings triggered by queen's hunger

#

I was going to see if I could do the offering heartbound loop build but with juggernaut so that you could use the "regen from damage takent" thing to stack a ton of hp regen too

#

but doesnt look like its doable

#

basically Im looking at starting the league as a heartbound loop build, and hating myself, or doing agony crawler gladiator so I can comfortably do all content

cobalt falcon
#

Trigger socketed skill, triple offering

#

The question, will they need more corpse to trigger both

#

It may bugged since no corpse around after first offering

slender temple
#

Desecrate and unearth with GMP lmp

#

GG corpses galore

pallid python
#

Did any of the exilecon stuff about metamorph suggest if it's gonna be a low tier map spam league (like legion) or a t16 spam league (like blight and delve) ?

#

With the limited info we have from the metamorph page it has strong possiblities to be either. With me leaning towards white map spam personally since you don't have to kill anything special and jsut by completing maps you get the league mechanic rewards (monsters to turn into special encounters for reward, like bestiary)

wide totem
#

the shards can drop with loot variables

midnight phoenix
#

Its too early to tell

#

Like way too early

wide totem
#

which seems to scale from map level

midnight phoenix
#

All it takes is one good loot drop that cant drop from metamorph level lower than 83

#

Then hey presto its high tier map spam

pallid python
#

I hate trying to sustain reds so I hope its white map spam

#

But probably gonna be red map spam

#

One thing I'm worried about is if a map isn't on the edge of a zone you probably won't be able to use white sextants on it while it's red. And presumably the ones on the edge will be lower tier. That's not metamorph related those that's conqueror related

brazen stirrup
#

sextants no longer have radius

#

so if the map is red you simply cannot get a white sextant mod on it

#

regardless of it being on the edge or not

#

there's also the possibility that sextants no longer are restrained to map tier but only to the modifiers that they give

storm snow
#

anyone know if the new socketing system is for 3.9 or its only for 4.0?

silver kettle
#

only 4.0

spice cipher
#

Wish it was 3.9!

silver kettle
#

3.9 is bow rework, new endgame, metamorph league, none of the other stuff shown IIRC

spice cipher
#

Wonder how hard the new boss mechanic will be thonkerS

quaint umbra
#

3.9 is December right?

silver kettle
#

yep, december 13

quaint umbra
#

Ty

grave valve
#

will PoE 1 get the new socketing mechanics?

#

or just PoE 2?

silver kettle
#

PoE 2 isn't a separate game. It's just the name given to the massive overhaul of game systems + adding the new story mode. All changes apply to both campaigns, and the endgame is still shared

grave valve
#

awesome

stark tartan
#

campaigns being chapter 1-5 and 6-10?

grave valve
#

nope

#

part 1 being 1-10 part 2 being 11-18

silver kettle
#

the current 10 acts are the PoE campaign. the PoE 2 campaign is 7 new acts set 20 years after the first campaign, with new playable characters

grave valve
#

well only templar is at risk for dying of old age

stark tartan
#

oh. 7 new chapters? 😮

grave valve
#

why not just level a character through kitava to "act 11"

#

also what's the deal with shaper/elder going away?

stark tartan
#

how does story mode work then? has there been any info about it?

silver kettle
#

@stark tartan you pick which campaign you want to play when you start a new character

stark tartan
#

interesting

#

maybe we'll get a young templar in the second one that is the templar in the first one's grandson.

silver kettle
#

they did a very quick show of the new templar and he looked middle aged, so the timing would work

haughty harbor
#

Does he also look like a giraffe?

silver kettle
#

the showing was specifically to point that out

#

it was in Erik's talk, so not streamed

haughty harbor
#

Ah shame

silver kettle
#

he had a whole slide of giraffe memes

#

and then showed the new templar's perfectly normal neck

haughty harbor
#

Aww, we will miss the old templar

silver kettle
#

I'm not actually sure what's going to happen to him

#

they said they're updating all the old characters to use the new animation rigs. does that mean that he'll have to be de-giraffed?

stark tartan
#

i shall name him Stumpy. we will be great friends.

violet nymph
silver kettle
#

yes

violet nymph
#

i want to make 10238% sure

silver kettle
#

I will go find you the timestamp

stark tartan
#

that's a lot of percents.

violet nymph
#

isn't there something big about the passive tree changing for poe2? or will that also apply to poe1

silver kettle
#

that will also apply to 1

violet nymph
#

i know that ascendancy choice is different for poe1/2

silver kettle
#

ascendancy choices aren't actually different, you just have to unlock them

violet nymph
#

or can you eventually become a survivalist in poe1?

#

for instance

silver kettle
#

yes, once you've picked survivalist in poe2

violet nymph
#

oh

#

o h

#

well this sounds way too fucking good to be true

stark tartan
#

i'm a survivalist in poe regardless of my ascendancy. 🤔

silver kettle
#

and as existing players we already get all the poe1 ascs unlocked for poe2 so don't have to worry about that

violet nymph
#

and we see in 3.9 lioneye's watch looks way better now

#

soooo

#

will eventually, poe1 look and feel as good as poe2?

silver kettle
#

it won't look as good

#

they're doing work to touch it up, but most of it has to be done manually

violet nymph
#

hmm

silver kettle
#

so they aren't using all the new stuff in 1

violet nymph
#

i watched that bit multiple times and for some reason i still wasn't entirely sure

stark tartan
#

just don't play part 1 if it bugs you

violet nymph
#

i also heard somewhere that a bunch of ascendancies from poe1 are gonna be massively reworked because of poe2?

silver kettle
#

yep

#

do you want a timestamp on that too?

violet nymph
#

no i saw that part recently

#

it's in the poe2 deepdive

silver kettle
#

indeed

violet nymph
#

ascendancies, specifically

#

so EVENTUALLY, say before 5.0 comes out or whatever

#

poe1 and poe2 will be equal-quality campaigns

#

probably

#

as they touch up poe1

#

i notice that poe2 seemed kinda zoomed out a bit or something

#

something about the camera was different

#

and i guess that'd be coming to poe1

silver kettle
#

no it won't

#

tons and tons of the improvements in 2 will never come to 1

#

that was stated explicitly somewhere

#

I think it was in one of the non-streamed talks

#

it would require way too much work

violet nymph
#

oof

slender temple
#

Racers probably still league start with 1. Until people have gauged both

#

Next league atlas changes also gonna throw a wrench in the works for speed farmers hitting maps. Hope it's intuitive

thorny vortex
#

keeping track of 5 different exalt prices should be interesting, tho i guess if you just consider them as usual new league currency its not all too different (?)

violet nymph
#

i just realized that kind of annoying skill jonathan was using in the demo was ice shot supported by arrow nova

#

arrow nova support seems absolutely fucking nutty for clear

silver kettle
#

yup

#

artillery ballista looked surprisingly impressive for clear too

#

double delay of totem placement + rain skill, but man the aoe is insane

thorny vortex
#

wonder how it works with traps...maybe too much damage reduction

pallid python
#

For people struggling to understand poe 2. Its the same way that fortnite randomly became fortnite chapter 2. Just an update so big they are using a name change for marketing

#

You can basically ignore what it's being called and thing of it as being 4.0

silver kettle
#

I'm going to do an infographic

#

feels needed

pallid python
#

@thorny vortex 5 different exalts will be interesting BUT since the orbs seem to only add from their conqueror pool (hunter or whatever specific mods just like shaper or elder mods) that means if there is a pool of mods that's very out of meta itll probably be considerably less than an exalt in price. Especially if they are less than an exalt in rarity which given that they are boss specific drops should be the case

thorny vortex
#

it's like... a free expansion...idk--i cant grasp why people totally misunderstand

#

yeah i kinda figure once people start figuring out/data-mining the mods they will fluctuate in price

#

oh i didnt know they were boss specific

pallid python
#

I expect regular exalts will remain the gold standard and the other exalts will just be treated like their own thing instead of being treated like regular exalts

old egret
#

yea, i agree

#

i would guess each will be 'worth' more than an exalt tho

#

assuming the pools are all at least decent, which sounds like they are

pallid python
#

I think the meta one will be worth a lot

old egret
#

for sure

pallid python
#

Others will be pretty cheap

#

Like .75 ex

old egret
#

if like.. the hunter one is meta, i could see it being anywhere from 5-50 exalts each

#

eh, id be surprised if any of them are under 1 ex in price

#

feel like that's supposed to be the floor, but who knows

pallid python
#

I'd have to see what's available for the pools.

old egret
#

im guessing the devs want them to be 'worth' at least what a normal exalt is worth, or they woulda named them something different

#

so even the worst pool should be decent, and they sound like they'll be at least as rare as an exalt

pallid python
#

Imagine there is a melee strike based conqueror he will be so out of meta and probably wont even give you t1 life or other good mod so it's worse than an ex in many situations

#

You're right it depends on the pool

#

Seems like 3 of the 5 (or is it 4) will have +1 charge mods so those will be good no matter what

old egret
#

but pulling from a much smaller pool should give it some intrinsic value, crafting a GG piece of gear for off meta builds is still worth a lot of money, know what i mean?

#

its 4

violet nymph
#

new exalts give me the same feel as the corrupt essences

old egret
#

which is weird, cause there is 5 conquerors

pallid python
#

Depends what the pool is

#

If its 4 melee mods in bow league itll be less than an ex

#

Or 4 mine mods

#

I'm hoping one of them is summoner friendly and cheap in bow league

thorny vortex
#

i only just noticed the part that says "Using the power of Sirus, Awakener of Worlds, you can fuse together any two influenced items to create a hybrid with mods from both of the items."

pallid python
#

I missed that too

#

Oh wait I remember that

#

Forgot thoughts

old egret
#

ooh i was just rewatching the metamorph stuff from chris's speech, when he kills a metamorph and the loot drops.. its got stuff from a bunch of leagues, so thats cool

#

splinters, veiled items, scarabs, etc.. loot looks pretty

#

good

#

obv, no idea how high of a tier the boss he fought was, but it reminds me of a legion monolith all at once

#

a full ancient orb even dropped, nooice.

echo dove
#

yea, the lootsplosion was pretty incredible

#

I even saw league specfic drops (breach rings) in addition to splinters

grave valve
#

finna make a split nova build

violet nymph
#

i

grave valve
#

step 1: split arrow

violet nymph
#

was just about

#

to say that]

grave valve
#

step 2: arrow nova support

violet nymph
#

gmp

#

lmp

grave valve
#

nah just arrow nova

#

arrow nova is gmp

#

but also in a circle

violet nymph
#

i just wanna see what it looks like lol

grave valve
#

on top of split arrow million projectiles

#

i wonder how +1 proj works

#

probably +1 nova proj not +1 payload proj

#

but we'll see

violet nymph
#

arrow nova works the exact same as sire of shards

#

but you shoot in the air first

thorny vortex
#

curious how barrage support + arrow nova will look...and how little damage it might do

grave valve
#

awesome

#

so let's see

#

13 arrow nova at l20 split arrow?

#

nice

#

approximately 30 degrees per arrow

#

no shotgunning, i'm gonna go on a limb and just bet that

#

hmm. i want to try another ci acro build but this time an archer

violet nymph
#

oh, i didn't even realize that was you lol

grave valve
#

yuri gives me names and i just take them

#

so that's what's up

#

hi babe how is you how is the bear you're e-fucking?

violet nymph
#

very good

#

oooh

#

so you know how we can alter the tiers of the maps we play now

grave valve
#

in uh, metamorphosis or like right now in blight

violet nymph
#

i imagine coward's trial will become very very expensive if we can change its tier as well

#

metamorph

grave valve
#

given that they just sectioned off the atlas into 5 and said "hey this entire section is affected"

#

then yes cowards trial gucci af

#

vaults can be made t16 👀

violet nymph
#

god farming strategies will be so much easier

thorny vortex
#

yeah they were hesitant about admitting unique maps could be raised to higher tiers...they know people gonna try to take advantage of it

violet nymph
#

oh really

#

i'm gonna make tropical island t16 then farm zana missions til i get TIER 16 UNTAINTED PARADISE

thorny vortex
#

kinda had a 'yeah we're gonna be watching that' kinda tone idk

echo dove
#

they specifically said they were going to have to go through and adjust drop rates because of it.

violet nymph
#

i wonder how much god damn currency people would spend on t16 untainted paradise

#

since you get literally like 4-5x the exp

echo dove
#

probably still slower than doing regular rotas due to the inconsistency

violet nymph
#

granted, if you were doing zana mission rotas in t16s...

#

WAIT

#

maze of the minotaur

#

forge of the phoenix

#

pit of the chimera

#

lair of the hydra

#

all of those layouts are gone now

echo dove
#

they're all being added to zana missions

#

at least

#

they said they may need to add them elsewhere as well

violet nymph
#

makes sense, they have unique art

echo dove
#

guardians (elder) are also going to be available that way

violet nymph
#

mhm

echo dove
#

elder guardians will be getting fragments to get to elder

violet nymph
#

yeah i heard about that

echo dove
#

and shaper + elder will drop frags to get to Uber

violet nymph
#

it's interesting

#

do waystones only come from the endgame exile-god bosses?

#

at various tiers i guess

echo dove
#

I didn't hear the specifics on that

violet nymph
#

oh shit, i just realized

echo dove
#

but likely

violet nymph
#

they never have to shuffle the atlas again

#

because we do it ourselves

timid geyser
#

They probably will still.

echo dove
#

Yea, likely they will still do it

storm veldt
#

Tier 16 Cowards parties

#

The fastest 100 in the west

violet nymph
#

hmm

storm veldt
#

honestly i didnt really enjoy this league as my 2nd league ever

#

but i hope this mix and match league

#

does

echo dove
#

Leagues tend to alternate good/bad

storm veldt
#

i started in july

violet nymph
#

i liked blight cause my main build was absolutely bonkers for blight maps

storm veldt
violet nymph
#

i basically played 1 build the entire league templarLul

echo dove
#

you have a problem mumu

storm veldt
#

Didnt realise i passed 1k hours

#

I only recently checked.

#

thinking ah yeah around 500 hours ive put in

echo dove
#

I'm at 3390, but I've been playing for years

storm veldt
#

aha

#

give me the whole of next year and ill be the most played xD

timid geyser
#

Do you leave the game running afk?

storm veldt
#

na

#

cant

#

my pc will blow up

timid geyser
#

Do you not have a job or something?

storm veldt
#

nope

timid geyser
#

Ahh

storm veldt
#

i play like at least 12 hours a day

#

some days more and really never less.

grave valve
#

uh yikes

#

how the FUCK did i go CI acro

#

oh, it was chaos damage league

violet nymph
#

lol

#

i wish i could play 12 hours a day

#

but no gotta work

old egret
#

oh im a bit behind, but on the note on t16 uniques.. yea neon specifically said all the unique maps could be made 't14-16', i.e. red, and they already adjusted some drop rates as a result.. but would be 'watching it to see if we need to adjust more'

violet nymph
#

actually i don't gotta work cause i live with family

stark tartan
#

i can play while i'm at work.

violet nymph
#

but i gotta work 😔

old egret
#

so id imagine a few uniques can only hit like t14/15, depending on their base tier, but still

#

coward's trial and poorjoy's he specifically mentioned become 'really efficient'

stark tartan
#

i even got my boss playing at work one day. he didn't stick with it though.

old egret
#

bet thats the best way to level the support plus gems 😄

violet nymph
#

my work involves me walking around for 4-8 hours with a couple breaks in between depending on the shift

#

walking and taking things off shelves

#

if the shift is longer than 4 hours my feet ache at the end

#

so if i'm working the day after i have to take a pill

#

normal weeks are 3 or 4 days of work

#

this week i work 5 days 🙃

storm veldt
#

Just make playing poe your job

barren crescent
#

Invest into shoes

violet nymph
#

i'm gonna be starting a gamedev company with a couple of programmer friends

#

but like

#

that's not gonna make any money lol

silver kettle
#

I made a thing

languid path
#

bigger

silver kettle
#

Discord is breaking it for some reason

languid path
#

res is kinda low even if I click on the imgur link

#

ah yeah this works

#

kinda hard to read it unzoomed, maybe the color

silver kettle
#

I might have to make a different one just for discord

#

cause yeah the red looks weird

#

yep that's heaps better

hollow osprey
#

I feel like the PoE2 Ascendancies would be tad bit better

#

Like that Melee Bow thing

silver kettle
#

Apparently they're going to heavily rework the PoE1 ascendancies too

storm veldt
#

wooo

#

all old guide gonna be useless

#

Poggies

violet nymph
#

it was 100% confirmed that poe2 ascendancies can be used in poe1 right

#

and the skilltree changes for 4.0.0 are for both poe2 and poe1 right

honest egret
#

1st yes
2nd porbably, but i'm not sure

fallow lily
#

poe2 is just an update. noting more.

violet nymph
#

i just want to make sure that, no matter what we do, how when or what, all 6 ascendancies and the entire skill tree can be used in either campaign

#

after unlocking everything or whatever

fallow lily
#

you can

midnight kraken
#

How about a div card

#

Unique Shaped Belt?

fallow lily
#

you have to play poe1 and poe2 to get all ascendancies

tired knot
#

i mean if you played poe1 before, you juse nee poe 2

#

beed*

fallow lily
#

true

violet nymph
#

for some reason i thought you needed to ascend to every single ascendancy to unlock them in poe1

#

lol

#

like "oh no i haven't played beastmaster yet, i gotta make one so i can play one in poe1"

fallow lily
#

but if you are a new player when poe2 comes out. you have to play poe1 to get all ascendancies

tired knot
#

wait you dont need to ascend to every single ascendancy to unlock them?

#

just play the class and you'll be able to ascend to their respective ascendancy

fallow lily
#

no just every class once

#

and you just need to unlock them. so you just need to get to act 3

violet nymph
#

mm

#

having 6 ascendancies to choose from... hoo boy

#

that's gonna be a nightmare for ggg to balance lol

but also

#

holy fucking shit

fallow lily
#

the new ones look more simple

violet nymph
#

poe already had endless choice of builds

#

now we have even more

#

the new ones are more simple yes, and ggg intends to make the current ones mildly simpler as well, with more poe2 stuff like granting skills, etc

#

wouldn't it be cool if chieftain's 100% phys as fire for 4 seconds was an instant skill that had a 10 second cooldown

#

so you could beat up bosses with it on command, like focus

#

or like

#

elementalist's pendulum of destruction was a stance mechanic

fallow lily
#

there is a lot more they can do. because of the new skill system. cant wait to see what they can come up with.

Is berserker with dual wand barrage power siphon too much speed or not enough? marauderthinking

#

And if you were to support Vaal power siphon with barrage would it fire extra projectiles in a line for every nearby enemy? marauderthinking marauderthinking

timid geyser
#

I'd assume it would work how VPS current works and only the projectile that targeted the enemy could hit the enemy so in that case it is actually a really bad support for VPS.

#

However normal power siphon should work great with the support

#

I wonder if this will push KB to having decent single-target

#

or will Frenzy barrage be the thing?

timid geyser
#

Can't really tell for sure until patch notes, but since KB is ground targeted I'm not sure how that is gonna work with barrage

#

Assuming KB works and explosions stackup properly it will probably be BIS single target for wanders (assuming no other new skills come out)

barren crescent
#

KB's overlap was effectively removed

timid geyser
#

Yeah, assuming that carries over to barrage it won't be that great.

#

I'm mostly speaking in hypotheticals if they allow it to overlap with barrage support.

hollow osprey
#

Barrage KB would be insanely fun

#

Barrage PS too

#

Oh shit someone remind GGG to buff Power Siphon

#

ahhhhhhhhh

wild arch
#

@timid geyser in one of the clips we could see caustic arrow barrage and it seemed to function just fine as a ground targeted attack

#

On semi unrelated note, the amulet that combines arrows into one seems pretty nice for caustic arrow

hollow osprey
#

CA Barrage sounds bad until you realized that the DoT grounds STACKS with eachother

#

Meaning that landing all hits on a boss with CA = literally meltdown

wild arch
#

It doesn't stack tho

#

You can already stack up arrows and fire it next to you to overlap them

#

Each arrow's explosion will hit but only one pool will do damage

hollow osprey
#

So what would be best with Barrage Support?

wild arch
#

Anything that already has built in extra arrows

hollow osprey
#

Like Power Siphon?

wild arch
#

Puncture bleed would be kinda nice

#

So you don't have to invest into attack speed as much

hollow osprey
#

Also on an unrelated note making that Power Siphon WORKS with bows would be the best solution for now

Dears 🙂 Questions not regarding Metamorph directly, but for new 5 item bases. As was announced by Chris, that Elder & Shaper unique characteristics will be shared between new 5 bosses items. There is also a possibility, that you can make for example elder item you add additionally one of the boss prefixes/suffix in it. So does it mean, that now, for example, i can have for axe - Fortify from Elder Mode, and Maim for example from Shaper mods, which will be moved from some new bossess?

copper kernel
#

we dont know

full meteor
#

eeehhhh... The only way is to wait and see... But it will great, if it will be like this - Culling Strike+Fortify+Maim - pseudo-9 link for melee. So this is officially craft league i think 🙂

hollow osprey
#

So now we can quality our jewels

#

This raises me a question: what can we raise on Unique rings and amulets?

#

Also its funny how Blight and Metamorph both also focus on jewels

vapid agate
#

We can qual jewels? Wtf?

pallid python
#

I thought we only saw jewelry quality

vapid agate
#

^

pallid python
#

Unless you means jewels as in jewelry slang and not the type that go on the tree

#

@hollow osprey

hollow osprey
#

Jewelry slangs

#

What are you gonna call Rings and Amulets then?

storm flint
#

Accessories! Or rings and amulets

#

I get it though, I frequently misuse gems and jewels, they're interchangeable to me

final umbra
#

What kinds of builds will probs be best with metamorph 🤔

#

For the boss farming I mean

valid isle
#

essence drain is always effective.

#

gives you lots of time to kite.

rugged locust
#

do the new conqueror's exalted orbs work on any item, or only on influenced items?

valid isle
#

should be any item. I don't think they were planning to do new influenced items.

#

plus since you can mix and match them

rugged locust
#

I thought all 5 had respective influenced items? did I get that wrong?

#

seems weird to limit influence mods to specialized exalted orbs only

valid isle
#

that would be a lot of new influenced items then @.@

rugged locust
#

yes

spice cipher
#

Yeah it’s 4 new types?

valid isle
#

yeah, four new orb types

rugged locust
#

there's only 4 conquerors?

#

or the 5th one is like shaper vs guardians maybe

valid isle
#

the 5th one is the mega boss/uber

spice cipher
#

3.9 is gonna be so much fun figuring out all this stuff on top of a nifty (I hope) league mechanic

rugged locust
#

I liked how they had legion bosses just be all bosses together, even though the execution was just "run around and kill everything as fast as you can"

valid isle
#

im still banking on the super boss being the four new guardians and the uber all put together into one monster lol

spice cipher
#

I wonder if you can do that with the league mechanic thonkerS

valid isle
#

that said, i think im starting essence drain in 3.9
