#

hexblast deals chaos damage, so no i highly doubt it can be affected by pen gems

livid lake
#

oh, noice

drowsy tide
#

enhance finally viable?

vivid agate
#

how do you alternate quality a gem?

zealous monolith
#

it drops that way

crisp tree
#

it drops from heist and gheist

vivid agate
#

😔 so its just gonna be rng

#

best ones will cost a fortune too

wild arch
#

Umm

#

Hexblast says all damage applies the ailments

#

Don't even need stormfire to do archmage ignite with it

wide basin
#

I doubt any will be worth a fortune unless they level it to 21 and stuff but the base cost will be in some cases likely a sum of Chaos

violet nymph
#

you'd need to use gcp to get to 20% qual

#

they won't always come at 20%

#

so gcp might be valuable lol

copper kernel
#

unlikely

violet nymph
#

anyway there are about 23847298345723 meme builds i need to try

#

voltaxic spark and inverse flameblast being the big ones

#

maybe poison flameblast

frosty basin
#

How does one obtain alternate quality gems?

violet nymph
#

grand heists

dusty cove
#

i recall when Voltaxic spark was a real build 😛

#

then GGG took a hammer to Voltaxic and it languished forever more in darkness

violet nymph
#

i like that you get to choose between, what is it, 5 different alt qual gems in the gem room?

#

same with replica uniques and experimented base types i think

mental kelp
#

would be nice if heist is leveling friendly

#

back in legion i got 4 leveling uniques in act 3

#

it was great

left raft
#

has ggg said anything about how much ES drain frost shield does?

marble ginkgo
#

Can bane apply Marks?

ebon fiber
#

Modified

Chaos, Trigger, Spell, AoE, Duration, Hex
#

Nope, Bane is hex only

marble ginkgo
#

Thanks a bunch

upbeat blade
#

can u get multiple alternatives for a gem? Or is it only 1 per gem

devout osprey
#

2-3

civic crow
#

Is spell echo + crackling lance work? I mean, 2 intensity charge or just count as 1

violet nymph
#

just 1

civic crow
#

sad

violet nymph
#

if you have enough cast speed it will still be worth it though

civic crow
#

but it woukldn't be good to pair it with archmage

upbeat blade
#

@devout osprey i can get 2-3 extra stats on my gems?

devout osprey
#

no, there is 2-3 alt versions of the gems

#

so you can only have 1 of the time

shut quarry
#

(unless you use 2 gems with different qual?)

devout osprey
#

but then its not 1 gem

#

its 2

shut quarry
#

y right but it would work?

devout osprey
#

yes

shut quarry
#

then i hope there is a gem with 2 good qualities

devout osprey
#

but then you give up a gem slot for a 2nd lets say arc

#

from arc- support - support - support -support - support

#

to arc- arc - support - support -support - support

shut quarry
#

yeah, not that much into poe to tell if it could be useful. but would be nice if enhance support had a use

#

maybe there is a case

devout osprey
#

I have used it on portal gem and heralds

clear gust
#

Big question guys - Reave alternate quality gives +2 stages - will that work with valled version or not?

shut quarry
#

well not worth to waste another support on those, even if 6l

#

maybe a 6l portal 😄

clear gust
#

If not it's useless

shut quarry
#

Big question guys - Reave alternate quality gives +2 stages - will that work with valled version or not?
@clear gust that was asked already; i'd argue: what happens if you vaal an alternate gem? it should retain the quality i hope...

clear gust
#

Ther thing is, there was info it will retain

#

the*

#

so probably it will be still max 8 on valled one

#

vaaled*

#

Vaal Reave grants 4 stacks, then hits to gain 4 more, so alternate Vaal Reave would just let me have 6 stacks without using vaal version

#

It won't add on top of max i think ;/

shut quarry
#

i see. not sure... does quality affect the vaal version in general? i'd guess but not sure

clear gust
#

Nope

#

They said the quality works for non-vaal versions of skill on corrupted gems

shut quarry
#

well then that's your answer

clear gust
#

Still, alternate quality reave would be inferior to vaal reave

shut quarry
#

that is quite common among vaal versions

clear gust
#

Being better than alternate quality gems?

shut quarry
#

being better than the base non-vaal skill

clear gust
#

Uh, You know vaal reave only lets You add more stages to use with non-vaal skill?

shut quarry
#

nope, i play caster or bow mostly

clear gust
#

Basically gives You few attacks in a fast succesion but its trash

#

Every attack with reave gives you 1 stage. Vaal version gives you 4 instant and possibility to get 4 more since 4 is max for base

shut quarry
#

still you obviously won't get that. and some of the alt's make the gem worse for me anyway

clear gust
#

it retains it ffor base

#

if You keep fighting

#

Best thing - one of the first reveals showed reave with alternate quality giving 100% conversion to a random element

#

you vaal the gem

#

and use vaal version to get stages

#

You are dead to phys reflect xD

#

Reave gains 50% more aoe per stage

violet nymph
#

+2 max stage reave might be nice

clear gust
#

its still 6 stages vs 8 from vaal

#

it doesnt add on top

#

If i understand correctly

violet nymph
#

well yeah the quality doesn't do that for vaal reave

#

you wouldn't be using vaal reave anyway

shut quarry
#

so you end up with +2 stages on the normal, which u use anyway

violet nymph
#

you'd have to be very lucky to get that corruption

clear gust
#

Lucien, 21/23 vaal reave goes for 15-20c first week of the league

#

since legion

violet nymph
#

you don't understand

nimble lark
#

but not alt qual

violet nymph
#

alt quality gems don't come as 21/23

#

they come as level 1 gems

clear gust
#

Whats the use of +2 stages if vaal is +4?

nimble lark
#

the main point is that they drop only from heist

violet nymph
#

because vaal reave can only be used an amount of times per map?

clear gust
#

you only need to use it once

#

?

violet nymph
#

for the whole map? lol

clear gust
#

stages used doesnt disappear for base skill

#

stages gained*

#

using base reave reset the duration for ALL stacks

#

as long as you hit something you dont lose 8 stacks from vaal

#

reave

#

thats the point

#

i use vaal reave 2 times per map at most

shut quarry
#

hit every 3s, yep

marsh oracle
#

Problem with reave is you can't stop

clear gust
#

its 3 sec...

violet nymph
#

so you just don't pick up items lol

clear gust
#

umm i do?

#

is there a lot of items to pick up? lol

#

even picking up alterations or transmutes after legion or any other event you end up with 2 uses of vaal reave

#

charged

twilit coral
clear gust
#

Now that's... peculiar

wild arch
#

Totem is the 'you' in this case

twilit coral
#

fine, means they just return to totem in both

little ibex
#

I am debating making a summoner, have we been able to tell from the videos if that will be unplayable in heists?

#

minions are not sneaky

wild arch
#

Careful minions might be fine

#

Something like dropping a couple skeletons at the edge of your screen

little ibex
#

yeah I am just cautious because I have played summoner before and there are occasional things that are a pain to do with them

#

but so far I haven't seen a whole league mechanic that would be a problem

wild arch
#

Well

#

Killing enemies raises the alarm

#

And you'd most likely want to kill less to get more loot chests

#

Short aggro range minions that you can convoke when needed sounds like the best solution

#

Meatshield chains of command sounds fun vanity

velvet palm
#

I assume people will complain about the killing - raising alarm thing to the point it gets removed in a couple weeks templarLul

sonic void
#

will necro ruin the alert level with minions killing stuff?

vivid agate
#

you guys think spawning totems and the old ones going away counts as death?

torpid sonnet
#

It does for soul mantle

wild arch
#

New totems are new totems templarLul

timid geyser
#

@vivid agate Just note decoy totem has 4s cd

#

but yes it does

hasty perch
#

exploding decoy totem build

limber spire
#

you know what, i'm actually okay with giving up a gem slot for permanent 10% movespeed

timid geyser
#

Just link enhance and now you get 24% MS for 2 sockets.

barren crescent
#

thats not permanent

wild arch
#

Infecting is when you're draining it

#

That's permanent 10% reduced chaos taken tho

#

And that's neat

mossy frost
#

Any1 know if the new poachers mark flat phys will apply to the base for bleeds on hits?

native sonnet
#

yes

nimble lark
#

frostbolts have no final target

#

they pierce all targets

#

so no return im guessing

#

unless you can do something that makes it stop piercing

strong grail
ocean narwhal
#

that could be stronk

wild arch
#

Snakepit ring can stop it from piercing

nimble lark
#

I just wish return could work on magma orb

#

for sire of shards return magma orb xd

sharp iron
#

If you want to prevent Piercing, then Kineticism can do that while giving you bleeds and maims https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kineticism

Path of Exile Wiki

Kineticism is a cluster jewel-only keystone passive skill that causes attack projectiles to always inflict Bleeding and Maim, as well as Knocking Back enemies, at the price of being unable to pierce, fork, or chain.

ocean narwhal
#

That's not great for spellcasters though

#

Snakepits better for them tho

sharp iron
#

Okay

#

Yeah, being able to inflict bleed with non-physical skills doesn't do much.

ocean narwhal
#

that node doesn't effect spells at all, outside of stopping pierce, fork and chain

spiral cipher
#

omfg

#

thats really good

#

that's really fucking good

sharp iron
#

I didn't look at what skill was being talked about, only that people were mentioning preventing piercing

spiral cipher
#

kineticism prevents fork

#

buyt i was thinking about it for shattering steel @sharp iron

ocean narwhal
#

so?

sharp iron
#

So are you thinking about running a Shattering Steel build of the league, Bluey?

rare rose
#

As usual on reddit, different people claiming their guess is the correct answer... anyone here actually have knowledge and a source regarding whether the Toxic Rain alt gem "20% reduced buff effect" impacts just the -10% movement speed, or also the DoT??

#

*debuff effect, sorry

silver kettle
#

it also affects the DoT @rare rose

spiral cipher
#

Heist gonna be fantastic right?

violet nymph
#

can totems gain charges

wild arch
#

No

#

They use your charges

lean lark
#

i assume with so many options available the alternate quality gems will start dropping in heists at level 1, yes?

#

same for replica uniques?

#

no reason they wouldn't?

violet nymph
#

no, i mean cooldown charges

#

with second wind

lean lark
#

yes

#

if you have flame dash totem with second wind and spell totem, you can cast the totem 4 times before having to wait for the cd as expected, but each totem will also be able to cast flame dash 4 times before having to wait for its own cd

echo shale
native sonnet
#

Meme, or extra ms from the sandstorm while in blood, or extra dps from blood while mqintaining sand

#

But mostly meme

violet nymph
#

they gave frenzy an alternate quality that gives +1 strike target

#

so i wrote a hollow palm melee raider frenzy build

#

4m dps on budget gear (besides the jewel) lol

#

and i'll be using punishment for sick clear

#

maybe i'll write a build guide for this one, it's really fucking easy to make once you have any currency at all

#

is the anoint ancestral dude only for weapons?

#

nope

#

just "strike skills target 1 additional enemy"

#

it's also not an anoint anymore

velvet palm
#

it's not anoint only*

violet nymph
#

lol i just took that build from 4m to 5m dps just by messing with the tree a bit

#

still has 4k life, 200% movespeed, and 95% evade chance

#

oh and it has fortify lul

velvet palm
#

4k life monkaS

violet nymph
#

SC high avoidance build my dude

#

it will survive most shit

#

fortify and steelskin help a bit as well

velvet palm
#

5.5k is like the minimum to avoid common random one shots in maps

violet nymph
#

i'll definitely write a guide for this after i play it

sour mountain
#

To solve squishiness, kintsugi and wind dancer

violet nymph
#

nope

#

wind dancer is probably a good idea

#

but i'm not using kintsugi

sour mountain
#

Why not

#

It's a good chest

violet nymph
#

because wildwrap gives too much damage

#

and i want this build to stay around 5m dps

#

no less

sour mountain
#

Ehhh... can t craft better with influence?

violet nymph
#

sure, but i also want this to be omega budget

#

i only write builds that can get to endgame on a budget

sour mountain
#

For a starter or a mid league?

violet nymph
#

mid league

#

since delirium is a zana mod this league hollow palm should be a reasonable price

barren crescent
#

How much is your scope of reasonable budget?

violet nymph
#

that and the 6l wildwrap should be the most expensive items for the build

#

<5ex

#

total

barren crescent
#

fair

#

as gems bought at 20/20 and stuff or self leveled?

violet nymph
#

don't need 20/20 gems

#

just level 20

#

so self leveled

#

it's a build you can start from level 1

#

as long as you have the jewel

#

anyway i'm keeping the build at 5m dps mostly because i want to say 10 for damage when i put the build in #build-guides eventually lol

sour mountain
#

Build is a bit soft on defense imo. But you do you

violet nymph
#

alright, the build is more or less finalized now

#

can't wait to play it 😛

#

it has wind dancer now

#

so wind dancer + fortify should make it pretty defensive even at 4k life

#

something important to take note of is that it requires this alt quality to feel good while clearing

#

so hopefully it won't be too expensive lol

#

the only reason i made the build is because i saw that alt quality

sour mountain
#

Alt quality gems might be a big deal. That said you can... can you frost blades while unarmed?

#

I would say that last one, damage with ailments would be great. Poison frenzy could be spicy

upbeat ice
#

What's the going odds on heist going core?

limber spire
#

the alt quality gems will probably return in some way

#

there's no way they'd cut that after this league

wanton rivet
#

99%

placid grotto
#

Depends

#

If it's not well received, it'll be delayed

#

Most likely it's testing proof of concept for poe2 and the individual parts are already in the game

#

Looks like Incursion Rev3 mixed with Betrayal rev2

last river
#

Heist has a higher chance than most leagues of not going core

#

GGG might not want too many parallel progression systems

#

Heists might be judged to be not different enough from maps

#

Same reasoning as synthesis not going core

#

Well, that and the fact that synthesis was the worst modern league

#

Also I just remembered the fact that the intensify node exists and will probably be mandatory for crackling lance builds

#

With that, crackling lance + intensify gives the spell a 2.2 * 1.66 damage multiplier

#

Which blows arc out of the water

#

Shame that no ascendancy is a clear match for a skill like crackling lance. Has anyone come up with anything that it's an obvious choice for?

#

IT's so weird that the one thing that's hard to build around in PoE is a spell that you cast yourself

storm crown
#

alternative quality makes for fun use of enhance support

ocean narwhal
#

you can go assassin with it

#

or you can go inquisitor or elementalist.

#

I wonder if the loot will be contentious on the ol reddit

#

"I did a blueprint and all i got was gems and bases that I'll never use!"

wild arch
#

I mean

#

You can do any build you want with assassin

#

Except minions probably

placid grotto
#

That complaint could have merit. It all depends on investment vs accessibility vs reward

wanton rivet
#

ele can run any spell based guy really well

#

golem tree is so good

violet nymph
#

better now that golems don't yeet out of existence when you leave the game

ocean narwhal
#

wow what the heck is that astrolabe amulet

toxic pine
#

a massive bait is what it is

ocean narwhal
#

I want one for memes sake

#

I wanna slam it with some dumb fossil and see what happens

carmine hare
#

Some questions about Impending Doom/Doom Blast:

  1. What curse influences the damage: those whitch was expired/removed or the new one (new curse removes the previous one and triggers Doom Blast)?
  2. The skill has cooldown of 0,15 sec and 3 uses. Does it mean that at max 3 curses on monster can trigger Doom blast (if I remove them all at one moment)?
ocean narwhal
#

Prime Regrading Lens
Secondary Regrading Lens
Tempering Orb
Tailoring Orb

#

Whatre these?

barren ingot
#

the former, as far as i'm aware: the game goes "hi it is time to remove hex," damage calculations for hexblast/doom blast occur, then hex is removed. we know damage calc happens before hex is removed because profane bloom still happens. While it's not known for certain, it's likely if you're pushing a old curse off with a new curse, the new curse probably won't factor into damage calculations.

#

because the curse would probably be applied after all the various hexblast shenanagins happen.

carmine hare
#

@barren ingot thanks

bleak crypt
#

hey. does sombody know if impending doom dmg is increased by the curse on the enemy

#

i think it ends before the dmg is applied but im not sure

bronze cave
#

Is there any additional information on the content that will be added later after release?

#

Like, is the league just launching without half of its intended bosses now or is it more like a bonus addition?

copper kernel
frail bluff
#

" if you don't get out in time (or die) during a heist, any contraband items you have will be removed from your inventory! "

#

This really suks, we all know poe crash a lot

idle zenith
#

Astrolabe seems insane if you manage to roll well. Chaos spamming dream

frail bluff
#

gl haha

#

it can be op af and very hard to roll

bronze cave
#

Oh well, I hope they tell us a bit about the missing content

#

Them being tied to challenges really makes this feel like a feature incomplete launch, and not like an additional bonus patch

frail bluff
#

Yeah they will release some league content (bosses)? tied to challenges after a week i think?

barren crescent
#

+3 amulet, np

violet nymph
frigid venture
#

tfw you wanted something like astrolabe back in harvest templarSad

barren crescent
#

just throw faceted fossils at it

violet nymph
#

Just wait one week for the game to pass beta. As with every league launch.

velvet palm
#

one week? marauderthinking

frigid venture
#

but fusings peak at 1week

#

gotta get them within the first 4 days to have an early 6link

#

is it possible to get awakened supports with alt quality peepoexalt

silver kettle
#

No

frigid venture
#

is this additive or multiplicative with the "10% less" on the base gem?

#

i.e. effective damage will be 30% less or 28% less?

velvet palm
#

it's less

#

not reduced

wild lark
#

should it be 10/15 and not 15/10?

limber escarp
#

what should be better as starter in your opinion guys, after mines nerf? BL or skelemancer?

copper kernel
#

you can just start mines again

#

they didnt get nerfed that much

frigid venture
#

@velvet palm turns out it's additive

velvet palm
#

well that's fucking stupid

frigid venture
#

there's a reason why i asked that in the first place vanity

crisp tree
uneven silo
#

guy

#

what is nearby in that gem

limber spire
#

nobody knows

last river
#

So are the discharge changes a nerf overall? BEcause they kinda seem like a nerf

#

Hard capping the cd to 250s is brutal

rotund pine
#

😃 is there a crackling lance build laying around for us noobs?

spiral light
#

without any cdr the dps is the same
but yeah not being able to reduce the cd is itself a nerf

crude sierra
#

Hi, is there any info in regards to ancestral bond + flame wall? Will projectiles fired by totems get increased damage or not since I cant deal damage myself thus flame wall deals 0?

sudden laurel
#

anyone know what classes get access to flame wall at level 4?

#

witch? marauder?

blissful onyx
#

probably witch and templar

#

Maybe scion

quaint echo
#

is it true you will get a 10 alt quality drops at once in heist?

#

like minimum ?

#

maybe on grand heist wing or smth

coral garden
#

Nah u get 1

#

Then reddit will bitch about it and u get 2 after 2 weeks

violet nymph
#

iirc you get to choose a single gem out of like 5

#

which is very nice imo

#

same with replica uniques

celest salmon
#

Guys, i played pretty much only totems for 6 years. Last two leagues freezig pulse, and it made me a bit burndout. Since GGG Killed flame totem, and i dont see any alternative totem build... Any suggestion for something tanky, and pretty strong? Or maybe some unusual totem build that wont suck?

rich orbit
#

Go play new fire skill totems with fire wall

celest salmon
#

To be fair, none of new skills look interesting at all. Well, maybe that black hole one, but w/e

nimble lark
#

flame dash totems

#

u know what

#

dash totems

#

for maximum confusion

hasty perch
#

@last river they're not a nerf just changes it

#

because the new one triggered is twice the old one triggered

#

but has a lot more aoe

violet nymph
#

how is blazing salvo not an interesting totem build lol

#

it looks so cool

hasty perch
#

and you get easily more charges

#

yeah

last river
#

because the new one triggered is twice the old one triggered

hasty perch
#

salvo looks fun

last river
#

What do you mean?

hasty perch
#

old one had a trigger less damage too

#

and counting it

#

old triggered discharge did 50% of new triggered discharge

last river
#

I guess that's true. It's gonna be hell keeping your attack speed below 4 though

#

Or getting multiple sources of cdr

hasty perch
#

it's clearly not a cospri's discharge

#

new one is better with a 7L shaper supported by CoC weapon

#

it would be obnoxious to fine tune ice nova/frostbolts with CDR and .250 trigger discharge

#

you'd basically have to stop at .125

#

new one got a much better AoE tho

last river
#

coc swords are still pretty fast. You might not even be able to take ass ellusive node

hasty perch
#

there's different bases tho

nimble lark
#

some redditor did calcs

#

it's like 9% more dmg

#

new discharge when triggered vs old

#

plus u need to waste a jewel

hasty perch
#

yes but you'd technically often get more charges to discharge on bosses

last river
#

Exquisite blade implicit has 0.05 less aps than the slowest aps sword base

hasty perch
#

if you use stormbrand to generate more on bosses which you should

last river
#

What's the proper discharge setup nowadays anyway

hasty perch
#

so the occasional +1/2 charges makes a diff

last river
#

Inyas, devotion, and...

#

How does discharge make frenzies?

hasty perch
#

you can't on CoC

#

because voll's protector gives you the keystone making frenzy generation give you power charge and 4% more spell damage

last river
#

Ohhh right

nimble lark
#

think i saw a build running frenzies + powers

last river
#

Actually you wouldn't want frenzies would you

hasty perch
#

that's not a CoC discharge

last river
#

Would push you over aps limit lmao

nimble lark
#

was CoC

hasty perch
#

you can run frenzies + power with badge and farrul

#

i really don't see how you'd get good uptime on those with farrul at .250 trigger rate

nimble lark
#

o nvm

#

was endurance

hasty perch
#

you'd need aspect to switch twice per .250

nimble lark
#

not frenzies

hasty perch
#

yah makes sense

#

with voll's amulet

#

it looks pretty good tbh

#

as CoC

#

as it's locked you don't need to stack CDR

last river
#

Also how does current coc discharge do on bosses? Seems like its power generation would be inconsistent if you're only critting once per attack and have 25% chance to max out once per power charge generation

hasty perch
#

can get "better" gear

#

you'd run stormbrand + PCoC

nimble lark
hasty perch
#

should be able to generate bonus charges

nimble lark
#

20M+ dps allegedly

hasty perch
#

i'm not sure if brand can get +2 charge on a PCoC proc with voll's

#

but if it does it's even better

#

that would mean that one storm brand proc lets you hit a +4 power charge discharge in the worst case scenario

nimble lark
#

and the funny thing is that CDR might not even help this build

hasty perch
#

and 4 chances to max it

#

at 25%

nimble lark
#

cause the jewel has an "is" modifier

hasty perch
#

yes

#

that's why i said you can get "better" gear

#

like not having to pay CDR on boots and belt

#

can get much better items for the same price

#

as CoC is often popular they tend to skyrocket the price

last river
#

Wait will cdr not work on new discharge?

#

Why not

hasty perch
#

because the jewel says CD is x

last river
#

Huh.

#

Interesting

hasty perch
#

maybe it works but it looks like it won't

#

if it does it's a LOT stronger

#

because .250 is less than double the CD

#

for double damage

wary smelt
#

what builds u guys going?

violet nymph
#

freezing pulse assassin

hasty perch
#

idk

#

i'll wait and see how the skills look a bit

#

since i don't play at leaguestart

#

but a few hours later

violet nymph
#

i just know that pinpoint allows you to get some average single target damage out of freezing pulse

#

and that assassin makes freezing pulse very good for clear selfcast

sterile fulcrum
#

what lol

#

everything you said is the opposite

#

pinpoint allows you to get 90% MORE damage in a single support gem. And assassin is great in terms of scaling freezing pulses damage thru crit

#

It has elusive and movement stuff but that doesn’t correlate to freezing pulse’s clear

violet nymph
#

yes, average single target

#

freezing pulse isn't a monstrous singletarget skill

#

my pob says 740k right now, once new assassin's mark, frost shield, and pinpoint come out in pob, it will be like... 1.5-2m dps probably

#

which is average

sterile fulcrum
#

weird how a lot of people league start freezing pulse totems for ez boss kills

violet nymph
#

average =/= bad

#

but good singletarget is like 3m+ dps

#

assassin is amazing for clear because of ambush/assassinate

#

that node alone makes freezing pulse amazing for clear

wary smelt
#

i always thought 5mil was average and 10mil + is good lol

#

i'm kinda tempted to go blazing salvo self cast with fork/chain for clear

#

but i kinda feel like all the new skills aren't gonna be that good

violet nymph
#

i don't think blazing salvo can fork or chain

#

kinda like molten strike

native sonnet
#

it says on the reveal page it can fork

#

dunno about chain, and unsure the distance/fork behaviour

violet nymph
#

"while Fork lets the mortars split into two if they hit enemies, with each exploding separately."

#

i see now

wary smelt
#

literally only reason i wanna self cast is cuz pinpoint support only works with self cast

severe turret
#

Does anyone know if Cooldown from Discharge Threshold Jewel With at least 40 Intelligence in Radius, Discharge Cooldown is 250 ms can be scaled by CooldownRecovery from say belt OR is it hard-set at 0.25 seconds?

wild arch
#

Pinpoint salvo is just molten strike but actually playable

wary smelt
#

no one knows yet for discharge

severe turret
#

I assume it's treated the same as Al Dhih variant with Warcry Skills' Cooldown Time is 4 seconds which I believe GGG stated is hard-set at 4 and not affected

wild arch
#

I bought stygian molten strike right before they slaughtered it

#

Never felt so betrayed

#

Would be neat to have the same stygian effect on salvo

severe turret
#

anyways, assuming it's like Al Dhih, have it already implemented for PoB then. If it can be scaled let me know and I'll fix it.

violet nymph
#

basically if it's hardcapped at 250 then cwc will probably be the best for it

harsh bone
#

Are contracts different than blueprints?

violet nymph
#

yes

#

blueprints are for grand heists

#

contracts are mini-heists

harsh bone
#

And you get blueprints from contracts right?

violet nymph
#

i think you can get blueprints from normal monsters as well as contract monsters

#

i don't entirely know how that works

harsh bone
#

Sounds good. This should be fun 🙂

#

Do we know how to gain intelligence for grand heist?

#

As in revealing rewards room

violet nymph
#

i think you just buy it with marks

split slate
#

what is this heist thing

#

i dont get it :(

violet nymph
#

fight monsters, get contracts

#

go to rogue harbor, do contracts from there

#

be sneaky or wreck everything, just get the artifact and other loot

#

trade for marks

#

find blueprints for bigger heists, use marks from contracts and other places to reveal it and hire people for the job

#

go in

#

get thicc loot

wild arch
#

Betrayal but you're the bad guy

signal frigate
#

hey guys what should i do? i like to read the chat in global at leaguestart but i want to go quickly through the story

wild arch
#

Play minions and do both vanity

spiral cipher
#

betrayel but your the good guy.

#

I mean catarina wasn't actually a bad guy is the crazy part of betrayel.

#

She just pissed off jun

sonic summit
#

i mean she did systematically sacrifice innocent people to empower her immortality artifact and planned to rule the world

#

but yeah the main thing is she pissed off jun

spiral cipher
#

I mean ruling the world isn't a bad thing.

#

she's one of the few people that can actually control undead on a non mindless level after all.

#

Think of how much better wraeclast would be with catarina in power

sonic summit
#

frankly, i think merely existing in Wraeclast is a recipe for disaster at this point

#

nevermind trying to control and rule it

storm flint
#

Does this look like a league where it's going to be box loot like blight or mob loot like breach, or a combo like legion? Is there value in magic find for the heists themselves?

spiral cipher
#

I think of catarina as what most people refer to as llawful neutral/good villain imo

#

Strict ass morale code. Beleives in eqality and has a cause.

storm flint
#

Questions of alignment can only be applied in the context of the cultural norms of their world. Wraeclast is fucked in that regard.

spiral cipher
#

That's fair so looking at a morality perspective lets say she's

#

Order+Undeath+Atheist

#

or at least a very neutral god

do these thieves level up or is it just gear that increase them?

wary smelt
#

they level up iirc

hazy vault
#

i wonder if we can rush acts then level in peace at level 75+ areas or if we'll be forced to do mechanic

#

and if not, how party leveling works

fallen tulip
#

you arent forced to do mechanic lol

violet nymph
#

you can literally stockpile the entirety of the mechanic

trail tiger
#

yeah but if the crew is not leveling from doing the missions are you at a disadvantage?

mortal yarrow
#

golden rule of week 1

#

dont touch the league mechanic

trail tiger
#

lol

#

wait till week 2 when only reroll plants are available

mortal yarrow
#

exactly

#

spending time learning the mechanic can be spent on getting into red maps

trail tiger
#

that is true

#

do you delve at all before red maps?

#

personally no

thats not that bad

bahaha

cerulean quest
#

i dropped a contract and the quest tells me to use it but i can't?

silver kettle
#

the quest is to use a marker not a contract. markers are the coins

#

they're also portal scrolls

#

contracts can only be used in the rogue harbour

cerulean quest
#

ohhh thank you <3 i should red better

covert rivet
#

I can't see how to access the rogue harbour. I have both markers and two contracts but there is no option in town to get there

right click on the red coin thinks in your inventory @covert rivet

Has anyone figured out how to actually get into a heist

I have 2 contracts and a quest contract that I have no clue where to place

oh thanks man

Should I bother to continue playing this league if I already hate the forced "hardcore" mechanic inside a heist?

livid apex

it'll get better once you get geared

south gulch

I mean, yeah, but I'm a softcore player for a reason

#

I die a lot

i left the rogue harbor before completely my first heist now I have no way to get back into it? Anyone else having the same issue?

coins = teleport portal to harbor

tiny fulcrum
#

well, i stashed the coins in the harbor stash...

south gulch
#

hurry and get more then, or it'll probably be lost

#

assuming it's timed instances as usual

tiny fulcrum
#

Because when talked to adiyah it was bugging out and wouldn't let me start the heist so i left

#

good point. i guess ill just get more and see

#

weird system

anyone getting weird crash issues?

ugh

I hope this gets better at higher levels

wraith arrow
#

do we see somewhere a timer for heist ? After failing 3times the trial one, still didn't notice it :/

livid apex
#

Getting the primary item always puts the facility on full alert

south gulch
#

yeah, and gives infinite enemies spawning behind and in front of you

#

restacking currency in your inventory after a heist is a fun and engaging mechanic too

violet nymph
#

Can someone help me figure out how to get to Rouge Harbor ?

silver kettle
#

@violet nymph use a rogue's marker from town or hideout

#

they're like portal scrolls

violet nymph
#

oh, so i need to find one

#

all i have are contracts so far

silver kettle
#

you may want to check your loot filter. smuggler's caches have guaranteed marker drops

violet nymph
#

damn, thanks ❤️

#

why did i fail my first contract? i got the item and i left without dieing

south gulch

did you sell the item to the fence?

now yes

but the message appear as soon as i left the heist

Weird.. I'm not sure

alredy know why, cause i was in party

u need to do the 1st heist solo

and if you finish the heist you can do even more heists

im just gonna leave it for few days seems to buggy, and if i got any fucking crash AGAIN same for the game prolly even just skip a league again

god damn it. can we make it so you dont lose the fucking heist if you click the red portal immediately on zoning in to a new heist

silver kettle
#

@livid pecan you should be able to just go back into the portal

languid river
#

Door unlocks - you get oneshot by like 20 ranged mobs.

#

Very annoying.

anyone crashing game at max alarm?

@silver kettle the portal disappears

#

@silver kettle i started "contract; finding opal" inside rogue harbor, the red portal came up, i went in, screen loaded, i accidentally clicked the red portal OUT, now back in rogue harbor....... and no more portal to go back

silver kettle
#

okay that's a problem, let me look into that

frigid venture
sharp iron
#

It allows you to trigger "projectiles return to you" effects.

frigid venture
#

so it's simply to enable chain/fork/split etc.?

sharp iron
#

Because if it pierces an unlimited amount of enemies, then it never reaches the last enemy, and never returns to you. That's what I understand of it, at least.

#

Yeah

swift rain

How to start the contract?

anyone tried crackling lance? my dps is shit...

disconnected mid-heist, is there any way to get back into it, or am I just out of luck?

Am I really the only person who dislikes the forced hardcore aspect of the heists?

I hate losing stuff I picked up, it's why I play softcore =\

mystic bay
#

new alternate gems:

  1. are they league limited, some area(map?) drop limited, or can drop anywhere? buyable from vendor, or vendor recipe?
  2. are they somehow marked in tooltip lootfilter other than a line of what they do with alt-tooltip - to easily recognize if that is the old one or new one?
small wigeon
mystic bay
#

a message to go to sleep? its green, so quest item, slightly unknown, so probably new one, and new quests belongs to heists and rogues there, probably its adrop from heist to give it to one of rogues in their camp

stone turret
#

how do trial run works?

#

cant seems to hire karst

tacit pumice
#

Is Karst's Revenge broken? I cant click on the interactable at the end of the heist

small wigeon
#

i just did karsts revenge and failed cause of that too

#

so i think it is bugged?

stone turret
#

how do you even get in? i cant seems to sign the contract

tacit pumice
#

you have to talk to the npc related to the contract first

stone turret
#

bugged if i speak to adiyah first?

#

instead of karst

silver kettle
#

are you setting off the alarm before you reach the vent?

#

are you in a party?

oblique crag
#

hello, so do i finish the heist when i sell the artifact at the fence or is there something more I should do?

tacit pumice
#

both times i didnt not set off the alarm and was not in a party

wary smelt
#

viper didnt GGG say we would be able raise heist mobs as spectres?

#

or am i just going crazy?

wary smelt
#

thank you

#

i was checking like 2 or 3 hours ago trying to find info

valid isle
#

heist might give too much exp lol

#

i just got to act 4 and im level 41

tacit pumice
#

Okay, I figured it out with Karst's revenge, on the 3rd time i acquired the contract it told me to talk to Karst first to get the poison from him.

is anyone having trouble finding those smuggler stashes (the ones that give marks and heists)? I've only found 2, and I've been in a lot more zones than that. Are they supposed to appear once per zone or not?

@warm lodge there's currently a bug where sometimes it states you've failed when you succeeded. This should be only visual and not affect any gameplay

i opened the heist, got in and misclicked portal and went back to rogue harbor

is there a way to get back in?

hmm its letting me do it again though

Mine says attack, projectile, aoe, physical

yea and projectile doesn't work, doesnt get any benefit from Vic proj and slower proj and proj nodes

somber bison
#

Oh, dunno

#

Though that could be why my shattering steel feels so much stronger than my splitting steel

buoyant agate
#

Do contracts drop from mobs, or am I supposed to just buy them from the barber?

lilac lynx
#

At the very least the tooltip doesn't go up and the dmg seems pretty damn bad for a 6l too. If it was a 3l tho it'd be fitting.

And Broseidon they can drop from Smuggler stashes and mobs too

still coral
#

It seems like every heist I do, after getting the artifact or whatever at the end, there's always one door that I just open and instantly die to about 20 mobs instantly shooting lasers or something at me

#

Are you supposed to have to use phase run or something to avoid that?

#

It's not even like an avoidable door, it's just the main route back with only one way through

idle hull
#

Apparently both you and I missed the memo that this league requires block.

still coral
#

I mean my build isn't finished yet but I already have 63/31 block

#

doesn't seem to be helping much

idle hull
#

But yeah idk what GGG was thinking when they decided to put 20 to 100 mobs behind a small ass door that just wait for you.

#

Wouldn't be all that bad if they didn't decide to make mobs way tankier when you are escaping.

still coral
#

yeah, it feels like they're immune to freeze too

#

y'know, now that you mentioned it, this is bringing back repressed memories of vaal constructs in incursion league

rigid stream

You can flamedash through the formation

How are you guys approaching the whole Stealth thing? With the guards at chockepoints and doors, I feel like I'm just fighting my way through contracts

eager terrace
#

for the most part you can really only stealth on the mech heists

haughty oracle
#

yeah not much stealth unless you use skills for a short time

eager terrace
#

otherwise you are just trying to minimize fighting

#

if you need to anyway

zealous monolith

What do you do vs sentry guns? I can't damage them and they interrupt my rogues while dealing a lot of damage.

haughty oracle
#

cant u disable them ?

zealous monolith
#

Can you? If so, how do you disable them?

#

Do you need a special rogue skill for it?

haughty oracle
#

i tought if you have an engineer with you, there might be a console to disable them

valid isle
#

finally found my first big complaint with this league

#

if you accidently lag or anything and click out of the portal into the heist

#

you lose the heist

dawn badger
#

Or if you do the heist you have a 50% chance of losing the heist and get to look at your desktop.

silver kettle
#

that's a bug for what it's worth @valid isle . you're meant to be able to go back in until you set off lockdown. getting fixed.

valid isle
#

good to know

#

i just lost a green heist lol

silver kettle
#

it will drop again 🙂

valid isle
#

my only other minor complaint is just how tanky the mobs are lol

#

im at about 5k dps doing the level 45~ish ones and jesus lol

#

the mobs are all bullet sponges

zealous monolith
#

I stood next to a vault door when it opened and my character couldn't move at all afterwards. Is that an intended feature?

#

Or did I get bugged?

#

movement skills didn't work either

valid isle
#

granted, i feel like 5k tooltip dps is low this season lol. i smash most the white trash but bosses seem to take longer than i remember

silver kettle
#

@zealous monolith oh god we spent weeks on and off working on this lol. it's meant to push you out of the way. will see what's up

zealous monolith
#

Ah, good to know! Cheers man, I'm rooting for you guys!

#

In the meantime, I shall practice social distancing with vault doors lol.

silver kettle
#

hahaha

#

we did have a completely safe setup at one point, but it knocked you kind of silly amounts even if you weren't really in danger of getting stuck. replaced it with something smarter, but apparently not as reliable as we thought...

zealous monolith
#

I didn't think about taking a screenshot, though from what I remember, it looked like my character was inside the vault door after it opened.

silver kettle
#

yeah no worries. if it does ever happen again a /bug would be handy, cause knowing your exact position will help and we get that info from /bug

#

but otherwise I imagine some trial and error will repro it eventually

valid isle
#

i am actually curious just how much damage i need for these as im moving into the level 50s

zealous monolith
#

I'll keep it in mind!

valid isle
#

4l with 250~ pdps weapon isnt enough lol

zealous monolith
#

What's your skill/ascendancy?

brazen pulsar
#

I'm pretty shocked GGG released a league mechanic where if you crash you can lose 100% of your progress...

brazen pulsar
#

Between me and my friend we've lost over an exalt from crashes in heist while leveling

#

Is there maybe a graphics setting that could be causing it?

valid isle
#

in normal areas that are not apart of this league, i basically disintegrate everything

#

bosses are not too bad, just tanky

#

but in heist, everything takes 10~ hits

dawn badger
#

I crashed to desktop with no error codes in 3 back to back heists and called it a night. Right at the end of course so you get to see all the loot you lost.

zealous monolith
#

At lvl 70 in day 1 early mapping gear (aka random rares and a 1c unique) on a TR/CA Pathfinder, my experience with the enemies in Heist is that they hit hard and some of them are resilient, especially after you grabbed the objectives and need to move back.

and the rares take a good 50+ hits lol

zealous monolith
#

hmm I assume you're set up to impale and all that jazz?

valid isle
#

yeah

brazen pulsar
#

Hexblast so far has been 1-2 shotting most mobs in Heist, my problem isn't the mobs, its the 10000% guranteed crash on the way out

valid isle
#

150% impale effect, 7 hit impale, has 55% overwhelm for armor

#

hexblast is the other build i want to try, but i heard already its strong

brazen pulsar
#

Its strong but the clear is terrible

zealous monolith
#

They should be nowhere near that tanky. According to reddit, the projectile tag on the skill is bugged apparently, so if you scale projectile modifiers like iron grip it doesn't do jack atm

valid isle
#

oh

brazen pulsar
#

It feels like ED Contagion but without the damage spread effect

valid isle
#

that might mean half my support gems arent actually doing anything

#

lol

zealous monolith
#

also remember, it is not a "melee" skill mechanically

#

melee only nodes don't do anything

valid isle
#

and yeah, im taking mostly the 2h weapon nodes or sword nodes

#

though i realized the crit nodes i took are melee crit <~< so ill just untake those lol

#

though i think they might still apply?

#

i have a 15% crit rate atm

barren ingot
#

heist is really flavorful, idea's fun, mobs are overtuned so you know it's a day 1 league.

valid isle
#

which with a weapon of 5% means the crit chance is boosting it i guess?

zealous monolith
#

yeah, unless you took Resolute Technique, which Ziz/Steel did in their guide for it

valid isle
#

so maybe melee is applying even though it shouldnt? LOL

zealous monolith
#

I knew this league would be rough when I fought Oak lol

barren ingot
#

but also i have 9 chaos orbs at the start of act 5 which is absurd amounts of early loot.

zealous monolith
#

did you do heist at every opportunity?

valid isle
#

i am, its a fun thing

#

but yeah, just checked

zealous monolith
#

I have 15-18c and I'm in t4 maps

valid isle
#

"melee crit" nodes are applying to spitting steel

barren ingot
#

yeah if a hesit map drops i'm doin it, and just blitzing past most mobs otherwise.

#

i'm genrally kinda slow leveler tho.

valid isle
#

and vis projectiles reduces my damage

#

so i think the spitting steel is coded for melee rather than projectile, accidently

#

when its fixed, i might run a hunter for it instead

#

i think it will do better since i dont need to travel far left

zealous monolith
#

you mean ranger?

#

you could swap to lancing steel in the meantime. Steelmage is mapping with it onstream right now and it looks really solid.

valid isle
#

Yes lol

#

I used lancing and didn't super love it

#

But its not bad

#

I enjoy doing my own path though

#

I'm also finding the champion impale boost to be just okay for this. Slayer would probably be better

#

But I think ranger will do best

sour mountain
#

i gotta work out how to get enough dex for my witch to use the MS bow 😦

zealous monolith
#

As we've kinda moved away from league mechanics

valid isle
#

I wonder how soon they will do a patch

#

Some of these bugs are large

zealous monolith
#

They did a lot of small patches to address things

#

e.g. oak nerf

sour mountain
#

i'm getting FPS hitches

valid isle
#

Yeah I saw oak

zealous monolith
#

also tabula exploit nerf

valid isle
#

I shot him like 250 times lol

zealous monolith
#

I had no damage nodes when fighting him as I pathed through ranger life nodes.

#

I had Einhar with me though

valid isle
#

Well, here is hopping for a spitting patch lol

zealous monolith
#

if your tree is sword/axe impale champ, you can substitute a melee skill that uses either of those for now while leveling your steel skill and support gems in a weapon swap.

#

And then go back to it after it's been fixed

valid isle
#

Yeah lol

#

I never mind leveling alts

#

But it is annoying

zealous monolith
#

I force myself to not start alting until my league starter is in red maps.

#

this allows me to explore the league mechanic in greater detail

maiden coral
#

Has anything been said about Heists and disconnects?

balmy imp
#

^ Noipp

#

Asking on discord / reddit atm

#

BUt I am 7/7 for Heists and disconnects so far, really sad

maiden coral
#

Failed two contracts already thanks to my location updating into a pack of mobs 🙂

#

And the rogues sometimes refuse to do their job lol

#

Super fun though, when it does work

zealous monolith
#

it has happened to me too

balmy imp
#

Indeed. Sadly it's been down for me for the last 4 hours

violet nymph
#

yeah when they fix it i think its gonna rock

zealous monolith
#

in addition to really weird interactions in the rogue city

#

I also got vault door'd which viper confirmed to be a bug.

violet nymph
#

that happened to me too

zealous monolith
#

I often can't open my stash in the rogue city either.

#

guild and heist stash work fine

scenic glade
upper apex
#

I really liked it when I was able to get 2 tabula's in my first 2 hours of playing and selling one for some sweet chaos moola

scenic glade
#

And of course the whole Heist disappears when you tp out or re-log 🙄

rigid stream
#

After you Trigger the Alarm, yes

wary kernel
scenic glade
#

No, was before I triggered the alarm.

rigid stream
#

Thats good, yes

livid escarp
#

anyone else getting dc'd every 2nd heist?

violet nymph
#

I get dc'd or a freeze when i grab the bounty and want to eit the heist... always

normal osprey
#

same

#

i either get dc*d or frozen

violet nymph
#

I tried to revert my nvidia driver, still the same. On vulcan

normal osprey
#

im on dx11

violet nymph
#

This is bad 😦

devout harbor
#

how are people liking heist? im on the fence whether I want to commit to the leveling grind or sit out this one

normal osprey
#

cant really tell u, keep dcing

balmy imp
#

^

devout harbor
#

oh im sorry to hear that

serene wing
#

Why did they think having player collision at the rogue harbor on the stash was good

maiden coral
#

Oh gosh
One of the 40 challenges involves vaaling an alt qual gem into 21
How hard is that?
I have to xp farm alt quality gems to 20 then pray?

scenic glade
#

Okay how annoying is it though that if you misclick on the damn Portal the whole Heist is just... gone

normal osprey
#

willow vigil
#

umm im kinda new to the game, but when i was doing the heist and finished and had to escape, do mobs just not stop spawning?

violet nymph
#

you have to run back to the entrance

willow vigil
#

k ty

velvet palm
#

they indeed do not stop

#

spawning, that is

nova rain
#

am I being stupid, or why cannot I equip an heist member equipment? Found one that increases melee dmg by 30% and want to put it on Huck but it wont let me 😦 EDIT: I tw3as me being stupid.

#

actually had an req of a job to be level 6

odd sail
#

how do I stop my alert level from going up

#

nvm just read

stone turret
#

any encounter sudden screen freeze while escaping heist?

#

and you have to just close off POE to restart

#

so annoying

alpine whale
#

How do I equip items for heist members?

bronze cave
#

Is there a list of mods that the items i can equip my members with roll?

#

I can only find mod lists for the trinket i myself can equip

violet nymph
#

Can u do heists with friends or only solo?

timid geyser
#

You can do them in parties

trail vessel
#

my strategy so far has been to clear a path to the end chest, opening all necessary doors

#

then going back and grabbing chests to start the lockdown timer

regal gyro
#

Is anyone here playing a summoner build? How is it working with the heist mechanic?

trail vessel
#

I feel like summoner might run into some issues

#

in some of the longer heists you want to avoid killing enemies as much as possible

#

where other builds can just run past the mobs, since only killing them raises the alarm, summoner mobs will automatically aggro

#

should be just fine for most scenarios though

regal gyro
#

Yeah, that's exactly what I fear will happen

odd sail
#

holy shit how do I complete a heist without maxing alert level

#

I legit had like 4 big chests left and maxed out alert

hybrid cosmos
#

lockpicking has a 25% less alarm setting

odd sail
#

yea idk

#

am I supposed to just sneak around?

hybrid cosmos
#

yup

#

once alarm is triggered you can go full rambo

#

but before avoid enemys

odd sail
#

i see tyvm

trail vessel
#

I don't think you should expect to get every reward chest

odd sail
#

im usually pretty good at stealth games

#

no clue how the fuck im so bad at this

#

as soon as they enter ur range of vision

#

you enter theirs

#

and i don't have sound enabled, idk if they even make sounds

#

stealthing is impossible and rambo-ing it leaves me with no loot

marsh wyvern
#

same here, as soon as i can see them they can see me. i just started running through em. seems to work

#

just rush to the end and if your alert level is still fairly low, go back and grab some loot

honest ivy
#

just fyi they gutted stealth mechanic cause it would've actually been useful here

#

your best bet for early runs are either phase run or just run and tank pretty much

odd sail
#

still doesn't mean I get any of the loot

#

takes like 40% alarm level for 1 chest

honest ivy
#

phase run gives 100% stealth which lowers enemy vision range by half

odd sail
#

i see

honest ivy
#

thats what they changed stealth to

#

stelath at 100% used to be pure invis

#

but oh no a league where thats actually useful better gut it

tender vigil
#

does anyone have a list of types of rewards for each type of Contract? Like if we want to farm uniqs, or maps, or base types, which is which?

rigid stream
#

If you have... I dunno who it was, Nene? With you, you will see Icons on the Map? Which indicate Aggro spots or so?

sage tendon
#

i got a 6-link chest from heist, completed it, but crashed as soon as i left the area... then all items were gone :(:(:( sadFace

austere crypt
#

Any one else getting tons of client crashed during heists? tried both vulkan/directx no difference

marsh wyvern
#

negative

devout iron
#

True, game consistently crashes every few heists for me

#

And briefly drops frames every time a new sound loads during heist

#

I've decided not to do heists until they patch a few things up anyway

violet nymph
#

Did GGG add trinkets?

maiden coral
#

When do you get them? Ive yet to find one

surreal sail
#

how do you reveal wings/secret rooms in blueprints?

split cliff
#

Talk to Whakano I belive and it costs intel you get from heist completion

red wharf
#

is it now known what are most likely causes for heists to crash game?

#

wondering if I should workaround them or just stop doing them until patch

rigid stream
#

I did not See how much Intell i have marauderthinking

feral canopy
#

does anyone know if the heist colleagues get more exp if I let them do more work during a heist?

tulip pagoda
#

Jesus... so many crashes during heists... Anyone knows what might be the cause of it?
