So we can one shot them in map right
Cause I will do map clear build , when I m facing them , I will open vaal rf and haste
according to the images we've seen though, they get more and more life
so they might have an absolute fuckton of life at endgame
But if they have phase I cant one shot them 🙂
they probably won't have phases
but they probably won't be oneshotted easier either
i imagine you can't kill them while they're changing form
🤷
no idea
Yes I was talking about that
They were immune to damage when they are changing form
But changing form is avaible for our bosses
thx
When we are getting boss pieces , I think they wont change form
@violet nymph what do u think about this
Ok thx anyway mate 👍
Holy shit some of these "awakened" support gems
some will be worth barely more than a lv21 while some will be 10ex+ (awakened curse on hit WTF)
whats everyone going with as a league starter? yall playing hc or sc?
their rarity is also weighted apparently
oh...
I expect the good ones will be very rare and thus very expensive
@brazen arch CoD discharge HC
planned a build with 4 woke supp gems >_<
jk... probably a miner
@brazen arch I'm going back to skele necro. not feeling any of the new stuff as a starter, though I'm keen to make an eshroud voltaxic build later...
SC cause I'm bad
i have an issue with transitioning to sc from hc
i started learning poe playing hc
never played sc
im suprised icicle mine had a reasonable nerf and skitterbots too
miners are insane... just a little squishy
skitterbots are unchanged tho
indirectly touched by the shock changes but that hardly matters
any idea how Ivory Watchstone work? the three new Sextants could only apply on Ivory Watchstone?
i dont htink weve had any info on those
i thought we would have more watchstones than that tbh
also unsure if those "quest item" watchstones are the ones u socket on ur atlas , but guessing yes
Ivory Watchstone should have many types, trade-able and apply Sextants
hmm, i gues it makes sense since it's the only "Atlas Region Upgrade Item"
I forgot if it was confirmed or not, can we stack gems like added fire support and Awakened Added Fire Damage Support in the new league?
unconfirmed 1 way or the other (that i know of)
@chilly rivet they confirmed several times that woke gems don't stack with their base version
thank you
Rip barrage ailments
wdym
OH
Might just have to do galvanic poison
Since with barrage every arrow technically counts as 2
Or just fuck poison I guess >_>
Barrage PS got hit hard for poison wander :(
Which is fair
Which for poison is lackluster
Yeah those are bullshit numbers
The good poison builds stack poison up much higher dps
Use the actual barrage instead then
It's gonna be practically the same
But won't feel as if you're losing out
May have to.
Luckily my clear is unaffected by everything else
So zoom zoom KB clear is a go
The awakened curse on hit adding one more curse ia definitely gotta get nerf just like how they remove the +1 additional curse enchant on armors
Hmmm Awakened Spell echo or Unleash for Blade vortex.
That 19% double damage seems juicy
How many bosses can be morphed ?
5645646641
5645646642
was it confirmed / explained somewhere if the new multimod is multimod +3 crafts or multimod +2 crafts?
because the wording on it is really confusing imo
Multimod +2
got a source on that?
Nope but pretty sure that was from an official source
oh i found it
ye ur right
The 'of Crafting' crafted suffix which previously allowed you to craft any number of additional mods on the item now allows you to craft up to three mods on the item. This affects existing items (items with the mod will now be limited to 2 additional crafts),
👍
hmmm
it has the same tags
but not the bow req. text
you can VERY safely assume its the same
They did that with all the awakened gems
you mean i cant throw my hammer into air and make a nova?
just put in plain text instead of the full description
considering your hammer isnt an arrow, probably not
what if i name it an arrow 🤔
launch myself into air, split into 5 different party members and start cycloning all over place
wait, this is it. This is what melee rework should be
My question is, what does the awakened nova gain as it levels
They said the woke gems are better at level 1 right? The only thing's it has is the standard double quality bonus and +1 arrow, but it has 5 levels
I wouldn't be surprised if woke arrow nova has a higher less damage multiplier at lower levels.
@patent canyon word of reflection as a scalable skill basically
for the most part they all seem to be kinda like that - Lvl 1 awakened is ~lvl21 with double quality bonus's - some have something added on top
level 5 awakened = ~Level 23-25/40
is there a bow skill that poisons on its own?
nope
Just figured out the best use for manastorm
Trickster cyclone coc BL and mjolner with BL 
Wait no
You need to cast a spell .-.
Lighting warp trickster it is then 
Not playing assassin for lightning warp build 
they will drop from the conqueror bosses
not a guaranteed drop and also they are weighted
thats about all we know
@timid geyser why assassin? 
3 words: Herald of Ice
Easiest way to fix one of lightning warps problems which is clear.
Ok and how are you gonna fix the most important mana sustain problem?
This isn't a normal caster build tho
You need to have a big mana pool and some way to refill it to full every 4 seconds while continuing to cast
Wait, now your talking about manastorm lightning warp that a completely different thing.
That's what I was talking about in the first place >_>
Are you self-casting lightning warp?
Well I doubt manastorm would trigger from placing totems
No reason it shouldn't that is counted as casting a spell
If you want to test that out do Spell + spell totem support in a lifesprig
Doesn't even need to be in the lifesprig
If you're doing totems then trickster is pointless 🤔
I'm not saying do totems. Just if you wanted to see if it works
I get what you mean
Imo manastorm works best for attack based build since you can get mana leech for recovery.
Trickster makes lightning warp free and restore mana at the same time
That was kinda the whole reason behind it
If manastorm works how I think it works it is gonna sacrifice all your mana every single time you cast a spell
not once every 4 seconds
But in that case does that mean that each individual cast adds its own 4 second buff?
It would be consider a single buff, so the strongest version of the buff would apply
Well that's boring
It would be completely over powered if it did stack though
Like teaser Rathpith Globe Spectres from legion would look weak in comparison to it.
Hierophant flame dash into global earthquake slams? 🤔
Alright you lost me.
Reave with 8 stacks from vaal reave
You can have like 2 screen clear with enough aoe scaling
Or 3 with hierophant 
On a real build Slayer will probably end up with more AoE than hiero, but if you want to do some manastorm memes it should work fine.
Slayer gets 2 flat range and up to 60% increased based on recent kills
While hierophant gets a flat 100% increased
Yeah, but you passive tree pathing allows for a lot more Melee AoE nodes to be taken
is archer going to be meta even though the skill rework doesn't scream out single target dps?
In theory though Hiero should be able to get higher AoE.
But that requires having 5K unreserved mana which most of the time you don't (unless you are doing memes with manastorm)
Assuming we're still talking about reave, slayer has 2 flat and 25% increased aoe around him
Not accounting for the aoe per endurance node
Hiero has generic 30% increased next to him
And an extra 8% on a fire wheel
but there is only so much overstacking aoe does
There's another 40% inc near the witch start which is relatively close
True
But
There's no kill like overkill
Note I said "real build". If you play and level a hiero reave build up to level 90 with significantly more AoE than a slayer reave build please show me. I'll buy you a $30 support pack 🙂
I missed another 3 flat range next to slayer
And I have more than enough supporter packs 
Also keep in mind attack range doesn't effect AoE attack skills (besides cyclone)
Cyclone got changed. It doesnt get benefit from range only aoe now
That was done for blight
Attack range does nothing for cyclone. Sad days ;_;
I'm okay with a melee skill not covering the whole screen without ridiculous levels of investment in inc AoE.
Welp it's a good thing wanders turbo clear with some jank ass gear and have bossing power like noone's business
If that were the case you'd see a lot more wanders.
anyone else thinking about using stun mechanics to effectively cheeze bosses
as long as they dont have unwavering or stun immunity affix
And then god was like
Thats kitava right?
Yeah, 
I was mainly memeing. though keep in mind I'm sure the new boss fights (and currently existing ones) will have much higher HP values then we are used to seeing.
So this will make stunning consistently much harder.
Unless you plan on doing some vaal ground slam memes
I wouldn't feel comfortable unless you can get that up to 100 million
Abysuss rises up
I dont use it for general mapping
Theres like 2 woke melee supports i want to get my hands on
Brutality and melee phys
Intimiddation is a good dmg increase
"and god was like"
is that mino?
I like how you can stunlock a giant crab king but not some homeless dude who chucks rocks at you
abysus got buffed with fortify change massively
still a suicide helm
just fortify + abysus and u still take like 0.96 of phys dmg
Or abyssus + dodge and never take any damage 
My tecto slam jug actually had abysses
abyssus looks good on PoB
but in most cases it kills you faster than it raises dps
to the people applaudin hte cyclone nerf. there are still many skills that cover the entire screen
i guess i should be quiet about some as the one i like is not popular 😄
cyclone in 3.7 was pretty easy 10m+ deeps with impale while covering full screen
Yeah, nothing is close to what Cyclone was in 3.7
Does the new EA benefit from Bow Damage nodes?
It should. They also work nicely into ignite build.
Most bow nodes have Dot increase.
I see, I don't know how it should be built. 🤔 Standard phys bow or quill rain?
On one hand, the new scaling mechanics seem to favor a traditional setup, on the other some say it's a trap and you should go QR or +3 bow with it as before
never quill rain, its only usable on agony builds
I see
Eh Quill Rain isn't bad for EA now
A good rare is better but it's a perfectly fine budget item
Which good rare? Physical, elemental or +3?
Tempest is worse on its own for ea ignite but scales much better with stormfire
Uh levels please
Damage on ur bow is a jebait
Speaking of bows, is Voltaxic good now?
wonky to build around but its alright now
Lightning Arrow, Galvanic Arrow or Toxic Rain?
Pretty sure scourge still beats all of them for damage lul
LA is best clear as ever
Hah, yeah, didn't consider Scourge Arrow. Also, with Arrow Nova and LA, can you hit once in vertical and once with the "nova"? Or just either one?
So from watching the metamorph video, it looks like barrage doesn't actually function as a linear attack speed penalty?
no it just how long it takes to finish firing all projectiles
with every projectile attack last longer
yeah it looked really really smooth
Isnt it identical to how ppl were theorycrafting
No
Everyone at least that I talked to was assuming it was an as penalty equal to 1 - (1 over 1 + .05x total proj -1)
Somewhere around a 25 to 40% less as penalty depending on the skill you picked
Its always an enormous attack speed boost
Everyone i saw was calculating it as such
Even if they didnt realize
That penalty is for the whole attack which is n projectiles
Hm, well, I was being conservative and treating the attacks as one chunk with slow AS for my theorycrafting
Like u can do that if u want, the dps u get is the same
Ugh I'm tempted to ask on Reddit somewhere for a clarification
What do u wanna know exactly
Ur math above was correct for the attack speed penalty of 1 entire barrage compared to 1 nonbarrage attack
But 1 barrage is n projectiles and 1 nonbarrage attack is 1 projectile
Do I still attack at an unmodified attack speed, do I have the same AS but do I have to do attack time math (how do I find my base attack time?) Or is it a bulk penalty equivalent to my formula's less AS
The last one
YOU CAN SUMMON HIMMMMMM
It is in effect a massive attack speed bonus stapled to a smaller attack speed penalty
Shrug, if it is as I thought it's no skin off my back
Just hoping it's more generous
btw, do you think it might actually be worth to do metamorph stuff while leveling?
because the currency you get acts as pseudo fossils affecting weighting, even if the quality is only 5% it should still be valuable to crafters right?
to be honest i'm definitely gonna be doing metamorph during acts
easy early currency
However much money its worth its still gonna be way less than being the first guy in maps selling reds
Same as every league
with boss buff and the metamorph being a (most likely ) op boss that takes quite some time to kill, probably skip
i play poe for fun, i don't tend to be very fast
If u can get meaningful amounts of this stuff premaps its still gonna be better to turbo farm it in blood aqueducts
yeah but if youre not the first guy anyway because not everyone memorizedthe entire layout of everything and runs at 110% efficiency with an uber maxed clearspeed build
or not everyone no lifes the shit at the start, choose whichever you want
then you might as well pick up some pseudo currency
So like
If ur in maps by say
Hour 7 or so
Which u rly do not have to minmax whatsoever to do
i took 3 days off for 3.9 but i really don't care about being super fast
i could see myself barely doing that but its still just low maps, im crafting insane builds because i suck at actually playing
U can easily farm up multiple ex on day 1
my build isn't gonna be super fast anyway
Even at the worst possible case where ur slow af
i hate starting with a cheese skill then switching to my main build at maps
And u cant get to maps before the screaming hordes
And lets suppose u get metamorph stuff in decent amounts premaps and its good
but that's too easy
Even if all of this is true, the best strat would still be to sit in BA
Whenever u get to a9
yeahh maybe, but what do you mean multiple ex?
And farm up ur mats there because the layout and density are so much better
elaborate where that comes form
U get to reds and sell them
because ive been fast occasionally and those 30% ms boots with 40 life never sold for a lot for me
reds day 1 
U dont sell items unless u want to
i generally try to beat the entire atlas in about a week
that seems to be a real stretch
i mean mostly 40 tbh
Its really not that hard but u have to be efficient
you say that but a lot of that comes from your build doesnt it
Buy ur enlightens and level them etc
Well like
Ur leveling build is pretty similar regardless
So time to maps is prolly 4 hours
And then u switch to ur proper build and if its any good as a league starter u will be fine
@midnight phoenix day 1 maybe ; day2 ex is like 40ish
no way for me
Ye by day 2 its 40
So u need to be higher
Also yellows are 1c by day 2
So u need to be higher than that
unless ice shot is REALLY fucking good there's no way i'm getting exalts day 1
4 hours isnt possible for most players without heavy investment
If u build an early league bosskiller u can instead do that
i mean i was with you when you said 7 hours
i'm playing ice shot.
7 is like
boss killer?like who
Normal
farm atziri for flasks?
getting fragments is a real pain though
eats so much time
So i havent done this personally i usually sit in maps
But the guys i talk to pick a boss
They pick a build to target farm that boss
Usually one u can buy frags for
what do you mean by boss?
And hammer it for like 5 days
so either atziri or uber atziri?
shapers gonna be a problem
Reg atziri the drops arent $$ enough
and profit margins were really terrible
Theyre good very early
name me 1 good item from uber atziri
and the gloves are good but not compared to how rare they are
probablythe map drops lol
and div cards
Disfavour is several ex early
lets hope it is
Cos ppl dont have multimod
theres no real reason to use disfavour for cyclone anymore after all
And next league multimod is bad anyway
i mean i could jump into uber atziri at level 75 or something
no phys/gem hybrid mods
yeah what skill you gonna use?
i mean cyclone probably
especially if you're doing metamorphs a bunch
If u are comfortable doing ua on day 2 then that works
Just be sure to level 6 enlightens
a lot, i'd imagine
Its volume more than cost i understand
to actually run
And yes its a bit annoying
so i have to hire a div card slave for it
to be honest, if you want a ton of money early, get exalts and exalt cards and everything related to exalts as fast as possible
thats not really sound advice
i mean
most items actually get more expensive along with ex
also
if i just craft things i can double my investment within an hour
over and over and over again
i'll probably alt-regal some arc jewels
my ex turned into 10 after a day and youre still sitting on yours for 2 weeks
so how much do you think a sets gonna cost(in ex) early in the league?
because my build can do it
even if ggg buffs her
i might only be lvl 75 but i can kick their asses anyway
my build will probably act similarly
and if i don't have the damage i know i won't be dying anyway
as long as there isn't too much dot shit
i should be fine
if i get to around lvl 80 ill have 10m dps and the ability to facetank her flameblast
at lower levels dps is just not quite 10m but i can still facetank her flameblast
cyclone
that's vague these days
facebreaker cyclone
i wrote a facebreaker cyclone champion
the most metal thing that has ever graced path of exile
i don't know where you're getting 10m from
yes, it does
i mean i did assume that i do my chores like having ulab(wont have, but would if i didnt nolife atziri) and triggering adrenaline, placing totems
stuff like that
with everything minrolled i have about 700k
which doesn't take into account armour changes
closer to 2m here id say
i tried that but that included not using conc effect etc
you got curses and shit?
power charges from ass mark
all that jazz
because i mean on uatziri youre actually gonna have those lol
abyssus is lacking in your build
also check the toggles such as fortify taunted impaled impale stacks
well your loss
accuracy is too easy
uh wait what are you using then?
Oof
cyclone gives stun immunity you know
its still 20% damage taken and frees investment
1000 flat armour/evasion isn't small, you know, combined with the 1000 flat armour on master of metal
and attack speed/attack damage are nice
oh
its still a big dmg loss
i also don't have vaal ancestral warchief selected lol
cause it's not gonna be out most of the time
yeah i know my low edn is around 2m
i know that for a fact
so i basically just tried to push number sin case i needed them
also
totems taunt for me
so theyre a mitigation layer
you can't get nearly enough area on fb cyclone to clear comfortably even with a lot of investment
so i'm starting with raider ice shot/ice shot ballista x5
which is also like 1m dps with little investment
way less deaths
and way better clear
well
it has a little investment
basically let's just hope the nerf to hyrri's ire makes it cheaper
should be good for fighting bosses
that movement speed makes me laugh
i don't think i've played a build with that much before
its any cyclone
cyclone takes 11 range instead of weapon range as base
so all weapons perform more or less the same
also, 30c a set is that roughly accurate?
early on
and disfavour 60c/acuity 300

ANyone know how to model the attack time modifier for barrage support in PoB
Regarding tradable fragments of metamorph with other players, what I'm getting at here is that you have to merge the bosses together first, and then kill the merged bosses at a chance to get the unique body part which is tradable?
did they say it would be tradeable?
thats kind of neat.. theres a sub market right there
if your really good at killing some annoying boss
like hte core boss and it has some special bonus
$$$$
the uniques will be tradable, they mentioned it
but it would be hard af to gather hard boss frags... have to combine with 4 or 5 other pieces and hope u get the one u want
unique watchstones. but not the boss parts?
if you watched to the end of the video it shows it dropping sth like the lion king's body which was a unique
that will be a tradable part I believe
inb4 currency tab for our backpack.
I find them causing tetris problem with other stuff.
you can tell they had metamorph finished literally last minute
if its even finished
literally no previews but the trailer until the day before launch
no time to make the loot magnet for the body parts now
i think after a while i might actually try to chain blighted maps
unless they get 120% gutted
just get some woke gems and fork plus on my wander
obliterate everything offscreen wanders are wont to do
@limpid wigeon I don’t think so, pretty sure they have been working on it for awhile but I might be wrong. I know the atlas change has been worked on for a while.
metamorph and conquerers of the atlas arent the same thing
conquerers is the patch, it changes the game for everyone including standard, metamorph is the league
i mean i dont see any other reason why they wouldn't have shown footage of it before now
for reference ziggy posted a big preview video of blight mechanics on the 20th, and the league launched on the 6th next month
thats how late we're getting this
Idk they haven’t released a ton of previews for either
Who knows, as long as the bosses are actually hard and you can actually ‘build your own’ I’ll be happy
Extra loot too
unused organs be carried to next map? or just gone?
Dunno, good question
Not much revealed, maybe they want us to figure it out
There was some handholding between legion and blight
I saw a used unique organ dropped as item
I see
But it could be a combo of different skills?
Maybe different combo makes new monster skills?
If morph can combine skill its cool
We can target farming
That icon in sample
Thats good
If can take to another map, we forced to use sample since their slot only 6
will the unused organs occupy a backpack slot?

is there one for regular elder
🍿
🍿
Awakened's Orb
I would assume that shaper/uber elder would be always fixed as t16, but now IDK.
well yeah, there's an entirely new endgame. They've already said access to shaper/elder is gonna be way more limited now afaik.
ElderComplete
Our endgame is now conquerors not shaper/elder
im leaning towards onslaught ignite raider - whatcha guys think
I'm not bothering with bows, I'm doing poison wander
just burning arrow all the things, should keep onslaught up forever
ok if Mirage Blade is not the best unique sword in the game I'm gonna be pissed
that thing looks amazing
Book of Imnas (shield)
this shit looks cool
Grip of Unmaking (gloves)
uhh
so theres two kinds of elder orbs thats good right
question is willi we get guardians in white maps
There are different levels of each it seems
are white/yellow/red maps even a concept in 3.9 ?
yeah
the maps still have a tier which goes up when you socket watchstones in that region
^
Fury Valve? (Amulet)
Starlight Mark (Amulet)
Mothers Embrace (Belt)
Warriors Legacy (ring)
That should be all of the new unique items
Hope for grip of unmaking being a fun dot glove. 
would awakened curse on hit support allow you to have two curses unconditionally or just on the skill its supporting?
Unknown atm
Either way it's pretty good
I hope this isn't unrelated, but do we actually know what the map tiers are for this league, like the past few leagues before?
I can't seem to find it on the compiled info thread on reddit
What is the base range of Shrapnel Shot? I cant find it anywhere on the wiki
@wanton ore its cuz the change in how the atlas works now
@pine forge galvanic arrow (new shrapnel shot) is 40
@violet nymph I get the whole atlas system is changing, but just for further clarification, there is no post like this for 3.9 correct?
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/cx82nl/heres_a_preview_of_the_atlas_of_worlds_in_path_of/eyjfvb8/?context=3&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=pathofexile&utm_content=t3_ct8a43
no
no they want us to find out ourselves
ok ty for the answer, I thought I was missing the obvious lol
@wanton ore no. Cuz the system is changing in ways that make that not that important. We know what maps are in what quadrant. But map tiers arent specific to a map as you upgrade maps tiers now
@violet nymph 40 range für galvanic cone? that seems like a lot, isnt it?
@pine forge that's what they said.
anyone know how to scale damage on ballistas yet? can't tell if i should support the attack skill or the ballista gem
it's just like totems. Everything that applied to the old range attack totem or siege ballista will still work the same https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Siege_Ballista
thank you, that does make sense. that means that all plain "totem" skills still add to the damage?
I am looking for a starter but I am not sure what I am supposed to play,
looking for a budget friendly build which will work for me in regards to farming currency early on.
you mean totem passives? if it only says totem damage then it will work for both spells and attacks
Auto pickup parts or RIOT 
"explosion deals 50% of Base Damage" how to simulate it
Honestly I don't think there's any reliable way to simulate it
The new explosive arrow is pretty damn complicated
Hence the hundreds of questions about it on reddit
On the video it looks dam awesome xD with balista support and burning arrow for the ingite buff
BA+greater volley and increased chance to ingite
hmm split arrow doomfletch looks promishing
yea, puncture might be fun also
The phys 'penetration' applies to all physical damage including bleed
But bleed isn't affected by armour
You can basically ignore the phys resist and endurance charge mods on maps
Waaait no
I just saw some hit exclusive stuff
Does it all apply to just hits? 
Nevermind, it's all just for hits...
Has anyone got the GGPK file and datamined the new gem data from it?
Can you tell us what the ignite multiplier cap is in practice? They said they would implement one but never updated the patch notes
(for Explosive Arrow)
@odd steeple The preload never has the Data directory, which means none of the .dat files which holds all the logical game data, it's just a duckton of assets.
oh really? I thought gem data strings was one of the thing you could mine from it
thanks for the heads up
Anyone made shrapnel ballista build in pob? do seems only a few
too bad wanted to try the new gem
It is does look like it will be ass to clear with honestly. You would have to use another skill to clear with or just swap totems to the ballista support and a clear skill
Will beastiary organs be Uber dangerous?
yesnt
Does Arc mines have a good Single target for metamorph and conquerors?
not really, its decent because its mines and mines anything are pretty decent single target
but it doesnt compete with the kings, not even close
Im stuck between Cobra lash assasin, cold dot OCC, and arc mines. for SSF
Cobra lash makes me worry cause its an attack
definitely not lash
assassin poisons, in my personal opinion, rely super heavily on getting binos to feel good
cant rely on that in ssf
Lol i know that was another worry
also cobra lash is kinda a high investment skill, not a great deal of base scaling
I did some mapping without binos and it was... not terrible but obv binos made mapping easy
i just know vic proj cobra lash melted masterminds and other bosses for me.
and all i had was a 6L -15 mana chest and 2 binos
pathfinder is definitely the more ssf friendly poison ascendancy
but i still wouldnt leaguestart on it
i mean
well i think if thats the case ill prob go Cold OCC.
unless you really like it
I like all those builds
it just wont be very fast most likely
Well never really did arc mines too much. I think i got it to like 85 then swapped cause it was just... mines.
Well SSF so fast isnt an issue i just want good Boss Deeps
Which i played vortex OCC before. in like 3.6 or whenever they changed occ to have cold dot. and it was fun af.
mmm i dont really know poison builds well enough, i played assassin pestilent strike league start blight but i just insta traded up to wasps nests and did shaper, then moved to another build
definitely wouldnt have done it in ssf
poison is iffy on ssf
i see a lot of streamers recommend it but they obv play a fuck ton that i do not play. cold OCC i mean.
cold dot also unless you go life version
literally none of the builds use the nova ring.
the nova ring is not good for vortex.
not really
looking to auracuck this league. what are recommendations as this is new territory for me. cbf with bow builds
Ive seen like 3 different Vortex builds and none of them talk about using the ring.
because ring is new
bizzare i would have thought it would be super nice
most of them actually says its actively bad.
vortex isnt the build that benefits from range that much
you are super tanky and feel ok close range
OCc is about curses with blasphemy and so if youre doing it off screen then you dont get to curse them.
Ive heard shock nova is the only one that will use it prob. because ice nova gets free casts on FB.
Yeah im not worried about the build to much more just
SSF
Ive never done SSF Before so worried about just getting stuck in a bad build.
i could see discharge maybe using it? but actually i guess it cant give up the ring slot really can it
Oh that one too.
i like ssf a lot but its far slower and you can get hugely roadblocked on certain builds
Only nova skills i know are ice nova and vortex neither will be using it most likely
now more than ever since multimodding is dead
spells are very safe for ssf
most of their dmg is contained within the gem itself
attacks and skills that require a lot of links to be smooth though
right which is what i want to avoid. so arc mines or Vortex. but im scared about getting stuck on bosses due to low life etc.
not so good
though i play attacks anyway
because i dont like spells
i cant imagine an occultist having trouble with bossing
dont they have good boss dps
yeah cause of curses
but hlaf the builds are just trees and idk if ill need Enlighten set ups or how they plan on putting curses down.
Sec let me check Steelmages occ again
oh fucka nd right they want to use the templar jewels
is there any good way to farm the kilova legion jewel?
lol fuck i dont think there is any chance of me getting LL in SSF.
Gotta get a presence of cayula.
yeah probably not
well.. i guess i normally sell frags.. idk maybe
presence isnt even half the issue
well shavs can be chanced and div card farmed
thats really rough to rely on for a core build item
man fucking multi mod change. FBM
like maybe as a secondary ssf build but no way as a starter
yeah... i do see a guide that shows you how to get 5.5k ES by blood aqueducts in SSF.
basically he says just to roll ES bases with alts to get ES rolls.
and res of course.
says you can do it in like... 300 alts
and ADV you to pick up every rare that drops with your loot filter off to sell for alts.
i sorta doubt that honestly
300 alts seems low for 5.5k es
what are you even looking at
Step 1. Go to Blood Aqueducts.
Step 2. Remove your loot filter completely. No, not the default filter - NO filter. Trust me, I'm a doctor.
Step 3. Clear Aqueducts. You will be picking up the following:
- Rares, currency, and div cards. ID all of the rares and sell for Alterations, as this is your main currency used to craft your starting gear.
- Energy Shield items with a level requirement of lvl 55 or higher. This is why we take off the filter - so the white items show up.
- A Chain Belt with 17+ ES implicit and a Dex, Str, or Dex/Str Amulet. Don't worry about rings for now.
Once you have a complete set of items sans-rings, go to your hideout. Make your white items blue, and begin rolling them with Alterations. You're looking for rolls for the following mods:
Prefixes: Tier 4 or better Flat Energy Shield or Increased % Energy Shield
Suffixes: Tier 3 or better of any non-Chaos resistance.
If you only roll one of these, Augment for the other. For your Wand, roll for Spell Damage or Cold Damage Over Time for a Prefix and % Increased Cold Damage for a Suffix. For your boots, you could skip an ES roll and try to get 25% or higher Movement Speed.
Once this is complete, equip the items and check your resistances. Buy or farm Aqueducts for Rings to shore up the needed resists.
Check the PoB for a set of blue budget items that can easily get you into maps. As you begin to accumulate currency, I recommend rolling for higher damage on a Wand and/or Shield, as higher damage will help both your clear and survivability.
As you begin mapping, you should have 5500+ Energy Shield, capped resists, and then as much damage as possible.
lel thats a bit more than i thought but since the page is down.
this is obv just to get into mapping a CI so you can then upgrade them with rare drops etc.
i mean theoretically it could work but i could never muster the patience to farm blood aqueducts for 300+ alts
and i guess be more efficient so you aren't like spending currency on life upgrades etc
well dont 1 rare gives like 11 alt shards?
and then obv Alts will drop too.
ya so you're looking at 2 rares per alt
you're picking up and vendoring at least 500 items
in the same tileset
eh. Idk i mean at least its a fallback plan.
i guess
this looks way worse than just playing as life, and then cnoverting later into real gear
i dont go into ssf with this kind of gameplan
i just smash my face against the content until i get past it
truly a sc herol
never playes SSF so i want a back up plan
and... arc mines kinda... idk i played arc mines before the nerf and wasn't impressed
id be more interested in arc totems
https://poedb.tw/us/achi.php?c=Metamorph
Metamorph Achievements
but Arc totems aren't godly boss killers either
but would be better than arc mines prob.
anyways i need to go get chores done before leageu start thanks for the talk boys
fairo
How will the buff to soulrend actually calculate out?
For sake of easy math, currently dot is .4 seconds, if for instance the Dot did 100k 'per second'
Does that mean 3.8 the dot did 40k damage and with 3.9 it will 60k = 50% more damage?
idk
website is down so i cant check the patch notes
did they just increase the duration by 0.2 with no other text
patchnotes just said duration of dot is now .6 seconds at all levels (was .4 seconds)
if you dont recast then yeah its technically 50% more
Tarkecat has an explanation of soulrend buff on his build video
Thanks, will look it up
@hollow wharf influenced mods list where? ❤️
not yet, mabye 1 hour later
sweet
think ill prob peace out of this chat when those are mined
dont wanna spoil myself
If we pick up enough braines, eyes, lungs, etc for 2 full sets, can we fight 2 metamorph bosses in one zone?
didnt look like so, canister broke on first boss
maybe you can call
gain for 2nd fight
haha nice
grimro's video suggests we can do a 2nd one, but I haven't seen anything that confirms it
only way to confirm is to play, not enough info otherwise
we will know soon
600 can be done and good thing leagion is at zana as map mod
Soooooo, they want you to kill the new final boss 75 times?
wait we can see the new challenges already?
poedb updated
with mods? 😄
not yet, working on monsters, maybe later
so this one looks new? something like zana shattered the map device and we have to repair it?
so we're the 1 who let them back? hmmmm
I'm guessing they're random drops in the corresponding conqueror's sector
I really hope the black and gold set is the cheapest one
Cause it looks the plainest
the black and gold set is the worst
i hope its not the cheapest cuz i want something good for my $60
here are the challenges https://poedb.tw/us/achi.php?c=Metamorph if anyone needs
That one on the far left is neat.
1 hour away and still no build. :))
just take damage
when you die take 1 life node
by the end of level 90 you will have a build
you can try Explosive Arrow Ballista build shared from someone here https://pastebin.com/tXAfqLhN
@native sonnet https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Ring
thx ❤️
Can lioneyes glare be chanced?
yeah
bro metamorph in 4 minutes but exam in 4 hours
i feel you m8 im haveing 4 exams next week
Wooo
it's only 3 minutes late :^)
+2 min charges on shields. these affixes are nutty
no league mechanics in our private league?! klown problem?
From what i've gather theres common/magics sample and one unique from the unique monster in the area
"Cannibal's Liver"
The irony
I got the lungs from a skeleton
HMM
Anyone else crashing the moment you get a full metamorph set?
So what exactly do the number of slots mean? Like I have 1 slot for Lungs on my current zone
you need a full set to make a metamorph
In theory each map with league encounter has enough drops to make one
in theory
Me and some others were missing one sample
what exactly is unidentified monster part
er
unnamed
nvm figured it out
im prettu sure it a bugged/placeholder
bc i had one drop and then tane spawned in but i was missing a heart
i don't like that we can't see which parts are missing :/
just make a mental note of what you picked up, or the vial button flashes when you have a complete set
am i seeing it right that the body parts you pick up are saved per map?
like i killed act 1 mervil and now in act 2 i dont see her body part anymore
ooh, good to kno
Do u need to use the parts for Tane before u leave the map? Or do they carry over
be careful, there is something that spawns alot of these guys that you cannot deal any dmg too
great league. full cleared the map btw.
I should stop wasting time trying to complete metamorphs
Personally, I just clear the map as usual and at the end, if I don't have all parts for metamorph, I just move on
Lol
i hate picking up so much shit
Is it intentional that you can visit Tāne's lab and have him talk about "the destruction of Oriath" during Act 1? Seems a little early for that
He can see future
does anyone know why volley supp doesnt work with either shattering or lancing steel?
Why is it that sometimes you dont get a part? That seems ridiculous
Any value in league mechanic before maps?
??
Idk up to you some people use quarry or blood aquaducts
Im gonna just zerg my way into maps and push
I had one that dropped a unique on death. So early on I guess it could help with items...
Yeah I will try around level thirtyish maybe when I have more of my skillgems for my build
I'm still confused on how it doesn't drop some organs... WHY GAME? WHY?
If u pick uo organs in area A and then go to B, can i get the remaining organs if i return to area A and get the rest? Or does it immediately reset?
no. it's per instance
If instance is still laoded you can collect more once returning but monsters don't respawn with more organs or anything
👍
should I be hoarding higher quality body parts?
I have an extra currency part, and idk if I should just use it now or not
nvm, the parts go away when you go to a new area, good to know...
yeah that seems just counter intuitive af
also being able to crash your game with metamorph
I love this league so far
dont worry flying eye dropped me a liver
Is it just me or is it possible for monsters to not drop all the parts in a zone.
its possible
definite bug
unnamed monster component seems to not be adding anything
It's like I have a drop a unique and skill gems but since I don't have a heart I cant summon it
anyone else crashing on act 4? i cant progress. game keeps getting an exception
kaoms dream?
I don't know if it's just me but if I lose sight of the metamorph bosses and try to walk back toward it, I crash instantly.

This is my experience. I don't have lungs but there are 0 enemies remaining
Which is annoying when I've collected everything else
We organ harvesting now boys
Does anyone know the significance of the cooldown on your metamorph inventory slots ("requires some time before it can be used again", etc.)?
Doesn't seem very useful since only 1 metamorph per zone anyway
@rain terrace those refer to the skills on the metamorph monster, I think
HAHAHA ok thanks, spent too much time thinking about this

Where do you find this shit
@violet nymph It's kind of a cult classic. And it seemed apropos
It is. It's pretty great. I've just never heard of it lol
Are the 'unnamed monster part's bugged? I seem to be missing monster parts whenever they show up
thats what im thinking too
You should summon npc to see what reward parts give u, right? Isnt there any option to see rewards?
Is nightblade worth using on cobra lash
👀
I prefer Wandering Eye's Lung
what do we do if were missing parts? just move on?
i just crashed and started downloading a 1 gb update
ironic, that patch fixes some crashes
Does Anyone have POB error ? cannot click any of the builds cause of it
was last update
i'm missing a heart part, and area is 0 monsters ! is that a bug ? or it's normal to not get it everytime done ?
it happens
so it's not a bug?
who knows then 😦
someone responsible instead of random players who have nothing to do with game creation 🤔
@patent canyon it's the " mechanics chat room " so i asked 😄
i cant find missing part of body "brain" is it possible itsnt spawning?
yes
what happens when i pass to next map parts will deleting or resetting?
they stay in the previous zone
any1 got good stuff from the league mechanic?
what if i reset of previous zone instance
How do u use the "unknown monster component"
How is Artillery Ballista?
can you guys log in
the hell?
its been way more than 15 mins
If you're missing a part, it's probably due to a bug, where instead of the missing part, you're getting a unnamed monster component, which by the way you can't use.
yeah I had that a lot. As well as sometimes, starting a metamorph would crash my client so hard that it would close my instance and change my map device from small to big.
you have as long as it takes to get your first orb of chaos
