wet creek
#

Hello! So I started a flicker sticker stike build and I have 7 frenzy charges until now, but from the very beginning my frenzy charges also drops also when i use flicker stike ?!!?

light adder
#

You spend charges to bypass the cooldown of flicker

wet creek
#

so how can i fix this

#

i didnt see anyone from youtube to have this

#

what i am missing 🙂

light adder
#

Quality on flicker strike gem, blood rage, items like farruls fur, oro' sacrifice, terminus est etc

wet creek
#

10x

#

crecursor's emblem

#

is there a limit of elemental - res or penetration ?

vast gazelle
#

no but it has somewhat diminishing returns

wet creek
#

so if I penetrate 50 res and put curs for - 42 % right, sooo is it too much ? I mean usually there is a point / cap of max efficiency and after this point it is not worth it so much, right? What can you tell me of my stats? Should I get rid of one of the stats?

#

and also i want to ask about close combat support and what means bas eon proximity ... if i gain some melee range what will happen

vast gazelle
#

so

#

penetrate and reduce/strip res stack additively @wet creek

#

values below 0 increase damage taken

#

-100% effective resist is doubled damage taken etc.

wet creek
#

yeah yeayh

#

ok

#

and close combat support gem ?

vast gazelle
#

afaik you have to be like

#

physically on top to get full benefit

#

and it falls off over i think 15 range?

#

not 100% on that one

wet creek
#

like a level obef the target ?

#

above the target*

wanton shell
#

wich ring is better for berzerker lvl 72 last act??

#

till now,i didnt found best solution

#

i didnt find@

#

..and i never have a options to do best craft for me

livid goblet
#

my blood filled vessel which i want to use for Ritual V challenge, has 2 bosses instead of just the stalker of endless dunes boss. will it still work?

devout osprey
#

yes

sour mountain
#

itll just give you even more favor

wet creek
#

does crit strike stack with double and triple damage?

sour mountain
#

yes

polar citrus
#

anyone have a moment to bail me out of a dumb invitation? 7 bosses left in a new vastir invite with ele weakness+extra dmg as fire

eager charm
polar citrus
#

thx

humble glade
#

Do the ritual rewards scale based on player level or zone lvl?

velvet palm
#

only div cards scale off of player level as far as I know

#

ritual scaling is questionable as fuck

humble glade
#

so it doesn't really matter what zone I'm in. I'm just hitting act 10 by the way

spice cipher
#

ritual rewards are best during acts and early mapping tho they can still be good its just rng like everything else

torpid pewter
#

ritual rewards scale? From what I have seen, they are random objects, gated by zone level, and pack count limited. By that, I mean if you are in the acts, you most likely won't see exalts until you hit a zone level in which they could appear as a drop. And in maps, it uses the same drop tables as the map. Pack count seems to limit how many items and definitely how much tribute you could earn. I have noticed object counts super low in t16 base maps vs t16 Alc orbed maps.

proper widget
#

i think ex are like lvl 34

barren crescent
#

is the lvl requirement really relevant in bigger picture when you spend hopefully less than 1% in lvls 1-35 of your league's playtime.

torpid pewter
#

Do the new watchstones that do not say number of uses, have uses? Like https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Chromium_Haewark_Hamlet_Watchstone - got my answer after more Googling: No, they stay

Path of Exile Wiki

Chromium Haewark Hamlet WatchstoneOnly the souls trapped within can bear witness to the Maven's dark proclivities, and they dare not speak up.Socket this into a Citadel on your Atlas to increase the Tier of Maps and reveal hidden Maps in that Citadel's Region. You can only socket one Crimson, Viridian, Cobalt or Golden Watchstone into each Citad...

vast gazelle
#

they dont

violet nymph
#

Man I'll say this tho

#

I been getting some stupid baller items on rituals

#

Since I only do em on super juiced maps

#

Like popped a 4/20 enlightens, exalt cards, t1 base item craft sales, and the jewels

lucid dagger
#

is there a strategic way to use a Ritual Vessel? I know you can use it on the map device to increase the ritual monsters, but when would I want to do that?

violet nymph
#

when you think a deferred very expensive item is about to show up i guess

#

but honestly it's impossible to predict

#

so just use it at some point and hope that it lines up lol

#

there were a lot of posts on reddit complaining about them using 4 vessels and getting garbage for the items in the ritual

#

imo each vessel should add an additional reroll and people seem to agree with me

sour mountain
#

its for juicing monster density

#

and nothing else, imo

ebon locust
#

Im finally done with this league

velvet palm
#

oh shit I forgot challenges were a thing Pepexalt

#

gonna have to finish up mine some time soon

deep plinth
#

Just wondering how long is left on this league does anyone know?

light adder
#

Only info we got so far was next league starts early-mid april

deep plinth
#

Will wait until next one than thanks

placid grotto
#

That's a bit long for a league, no? Is GGG going to 3x leagues per year? I can't imagine they would as that would be a 25% cut in revenue

eager terrace
#

regular 3 months

#

heist is the one that ran an extra month

tawny pasture
#

Heist was long

placid grotto
#

If Ritual goes through mid April, that's 4 months, no?

tawny pasture
#

Ritual is just normal

#

Its starting in january

placid grotto
#

Since it started mid Jan

tawny pasture
#

Not december

#

Its 3 month

#

Not 4

placid grotto
#

Oh derp right

#

And this is why languages index to 0 not 1 haha

viscid kindle
#

holy shit i got an exalted orb from the ritual thing lmao

maiden coral
#

Slam it

slender temple
#

wait

#

close your eyes first

velvet palm
#

can't guarantee 2.4 life regen without closing your eyes

lost sand
#

@Bleeddudebro oshabi kill count

slender temple
violet nymph
#

I slammed 30 exalts worth of mods today

#

Best I got was a t1 rarity

#

Noice!

vast gazelle
#

did you close your eyes

violet nymph
#

No cause my balls were closed

vast gazelle
#

ah good substitute

spare axle
#

Slam an ex eye closed a day to keep any doctor away

#

and your sanity in bonus

sharp iron
#

I can see why Echoes of the Atlas expansion and Ritual league happened at the same time. Both involve fighting bosses outside of their normal arenas, so when they could make that possible to do with the boss fights, they could do both things with it.

white badge
#

is the the 50 blood-filled vessels with maps counting each blood-filled vessel or is it counting each map

white badge
#

it's per vessel in case somebody searches for this

raw crest
#

How hard is the Maven fight? I can kill Sirus A9 for comparison

cunning blade
#

uh, easy i guess? could be hard

#

her abilities are all easy to dodge, only difficult ones are the memory game, boss spawns and coil beam phase

slender temple
sharp iron
#

Got lucky today with an Unnatural Instinct appearing in my ritual rewards and being able to Defer it. It's going to take awhile since it was 10k tribute to buy, but that item is worth several exalted so I am looking forward to getting it.

#

I actually am collecting up enough currency that once Ritual merged into Standard, I'll be able to buy a Headhunter in Standard.

velvet palm
#

the fact that being able to defer isn't guaranteed still appalls me

#

like, here's a thing you'll never be able to get

sharp iron
#

Hasn't happened to me yet

#

Ritual League Challenge Statistics when?

#

also why is there a Harvest League statistics post but none for Heist League

native sonnet
#

maybe cuz it was so bad? templarHeist

next epoch
#

throwback to that time they published ascendancy statistics for some league and everyone pointed out that the huge percentage of unascended witches was probably mostly bots

barren crescent
#

it would be interesting to get access to perfect data of player statistics

sharp iron
#

Do we currently have any information on what happens to items in our Deferal list when the league ends? I currently have an Unnatural Instinct that was defered, and I don't want that to vanish.

red jackal
#

nope

sharp iron
#

Defering an item lowers its cost by 10% of it's current (not original) cost, right?

red jackal
#

nope, 10% of the original cost

#

you pay 10%+5% deferral fee

tawny pasture
sharp iron
#

Ah, true.

brisk capeBOT
#

Rule 10 no longer exists!

copper kernel
violet nymph
#

What was rule 10

slender temple
#

dunno

#

there are some secret rujlesi tihnk

#

or were removed idk

brisk capeBOT
#

Rule 11 no longer exists!

barren crescent
#

we condensed server rules by 2 or 3 few months ago

#

mainly merging thing or two

sharp iron
#

I'm going to play more of this league just to get my Unnatural Instinct off of the Deferral list, and then retire this character for awhile.

crystal mantle
#

wooot

#

first

carmine vigil
#

Huh

#

Oh it only 6 days till this league comes huh wonder how its going to bw

#

Be*

violet nymph
#

Seems like it's gonna be pretty damn incredible

#

Given there's not a whole lot of ways you can scale phys degen with spells I'll bet it'll be a good budget option

#

Reap league starter maybe?

carmine vigil
#

Ye that

#

Same thing

mystic sparrow
#

Was there any info on what Everlasting Sacrifice is on the new unique shield?

silver kettle
#

there was not 😄

mystic sparrow
#

dangit

#

i wanted to theorycraft on the shield, it looks pretty neato

#

but from what i could compile so far:

#

Immortal Ambition's "Energy Shield cannot Regen or Recharge" doesnt apply to Eternal Youth's "Energy Recharge applied to life"

#

so having some energy recharge still works

#

Corrupted Soul and Divine Flesh both make energy shield as a defense rather useless, so Eldritch Battery is an option

#

I could see a MoM Indigon build use this shield, but that entirely depends on what Everlasting Sacrifice does

violet nymph
#

So, bloodthirst seems pretty decent even if the % life as added flat damage doesn't scale with level. cuz 2% of 7k life is 140 flat at level 1.
compared to rage support at 50 rage's 59-107 added flat at level 20

vast gazelle
#

not just those 6

violet nymph
vast gazelle
#

wait really

#

oh carry on

languid zenith
#

Iterating on the ritual formula seems like a good plan

#

Big clumps of enemies, kill em and get stuff

#

core PoE

#

Wonder how well LL attack will play out

#

presumably you'd still go ES?

unkempt jungle
#

Are the maven ascendancy for atlas region goign to change?

devout osprey
#

yes, we dont know what though

mystic sparrow
#

They're adding a ritual one

#

and they're rebalancing some others, possibly the harbingers one

unkempt jungle
#

Would be great to know this as it can influance league starters

tawny pasture
#

wait for dev manifesto or patch note

#

like we all do

violet nymph
#

Also 40% damage taken as dots is pretty good defensively. With headroom for popping out of LL with a flask to deal with big hits.

vast gazelle
#

especially if you have vaal pact or just big leeches

#

its insane

violet nymph
#

Yeah, seems like there's plenty to work with on that front.

lucid stone
#

What builds focus on both hit and DoT?

#

That sounds like a pain to scale unless they changed up something.

#

Also, WOO PHYS DOT SPELLS!

violet nymph
#

@lucid stone reap, the new spell scales both, in the most convenient way possible, spelldamage = dot multi

lucid stone
#

I wonder if reap mines are gonna be a thing. It sounds obnoxious to have a ton of scythes everywhere

copper kernel
#

scaling both sounds like a waste

lucid stone
#

I'm asking because it was mentioned in the content reveal, not really because I'm trying to make a sabo build.

silver kettle
#

schwing

copper kernel
#

is glad going to be the phys spell ascendancy

cunning blade
lucid stone
#

Last league I wanted something that made enemies wet and did something with lightning damage. We got hydrosphere.
I wanted phys DoT spells and now we have this. :D

#

I'm hoping next league we get channeled wand skills.

silver kettle
#

takes notes

devout osprey
#

channeled totem skills, you wield 1 totem like a laser canon and it shoots a laser (duh)

proper widget
#

a channeled support that makes a spell go off at the cursor might be cool

#

theres a few spells that support edge-of-screen targeting but a channel support would add a lot of potential weirdness

cunning blade
#

oh

#

oh god thats a good point

slender temple
#

hngngg

#

multiple scaling dipping

cunning blade
#

and tecrods gaze isnt limited to 1 apparently

slender temple
#

HHNNNGGG

cunning blade
#

so having 5 of them is 250% crit multi in off hand jesus fuck

slender temple
#

thats awesome

#

more chase items

cunning blade
#

also can we talk about essence of delirium belt craft

#

50% during any flask effect

#

a certain class(es) going to be very happy

#

and boots with cannot be poisoned

#

im so happy wtf

#

we can do cannot change prefixes / suffixes and reforge with essences now

#

lmao

#

lol

#

probably no witchHarvest

#

yea

#

with the glove base that gives 50% inc dmg to off hands

violet nymph
#

ik this is a poe2 thing, but can we talk about claws counted as unarmed?

cunning blade
#

y

violet nymph
#

because that opens a ton of skills for facebreakers :^)

thin vine
#

you guys know normal jewels can get 51% multi 7% life right?

#

and aren't even that hard to make w/ harvest

lucid stone
#

Does fever have a max stack, or is it just dependent on how many hits you can get out before you reset it?

cunning blade
cunning blade
violet nymph
silver kettle
violet nymph
#

ah

lucid stone
covert nacelle
#

... duration skill with a locked direction so you have to move your character to aim it

lucid stone
#

Hmm, I wanna do something that uses both archmage and the new life sacrifice stuff.

covert nacelle
#

depending on how the new life sacrifice stuff is worded, it might not work with archmage.

lucid stone
#

Are we getting phys DoT multi in the shadow area?

#

The only phys DoT is in the bleed part of the tree, and on clusters

covert nacelle
#

I'd assume there's some support in the passive tree somewhere.

lucid stone
#

If low life is now 50%, then that makes minions a little easier to kill for MI

covert nacelle
#

don't make me play popcorn skeletons again, I will do it

severe hamlet
#

I'm excited about new phys dmg over time spell skills, it's kinda new archetype, don't remember other spells that deal phys dmg over time

lucid stone
#

How good is 2% of max life as flat weapon phys? Poor facebreakers :(

#

I'm guessing it goes up to 5% or 8%

severe hamlet
#

if you have 8k health, that's 160 added phys? that's great, no?

proper widget
#

its 100+ flat phys

lucid stone
#

On a 10k life build that would give you 800 flat phys to weapons.

proper widget
#

and 10+% more

lucid stone
#

But you'd have spent a lot of your points in life and not damage.

proper widget
#

im prob gonna take it with the new phys+bleed support

lucid stone
#

Coward's Legacy is going to probably be BIS

#

Because it doubles the life you can have when you want to use this.

#

I kinda want to do a fever build with kinetic blast.
Also that unique abyss jewel that lets your projectiles chain off walls has me excited.

#

I'm guessing the maximum of 20% doesn't go to 40% if you equip two of them?

vast gazelle
#

as written it should

lucid stone
#

It should go to 40%?

vast gazelle
#

yeah

#

unless theres a limit on the number you can use

lucid stone
#

To me it reads like Expansive Might or whatever that one staff cluster is.

vast gazelle
#

put 2 in the abyss belt

#

ez 70%

lucid stone
#

They're searching eye jewels themselves.

#

How useful is chaining off walls?

#

I liked using it with kinetic blast.

#

I'm expecting that it stays at 20% :<

#

However, this sounds like a really fun jewel to put in a stygian vise or in a rare that has a hollow fossil. :>

#

🤞 Please don't be 20ex

north crow
#

watching the video when the perandus coins dropped they didn't show them?

#

anyone think they fixed grouping of item drops and don't want to spoil it yet?

proper widget
#

don't 'up to a maximum' stats not really stack

#

i thought they established that for some of the cluster jewel notables

#

don't remember the wording on that jewel though, it might be a maximum per-jewel depending on how it works

cosmic basalt
#

anybody thinking about how to build for Reap?

limber spire
#

i wonder, can you support non-auras with arrogance support?

#

and if so, would the skill only get the mana multiplier and not spend life?

cosmic basalt
#

nice

lucid stone
#

You know what would be fun? Skills that have built in lightning to cold or cold to fiew

north dragon
#

Looks fun

#

The new league

fair prairie
#

not super hyped for league, seems a little plain jane. But the loot changes has me hyped

rare girder
#

im actually more interested in exsanguiate

#

though I fear its boss potential may be kinda poopy

#

I wonder if exsanguiate mines would be viable

robust surge
#

So I got a question because I have had something in my head since Petrified Blood was announced and I can't stop thinking about it.

#

GGG confirmed that Agnostic will keep consuming mana if you have Petrified Blood since you're not "at full life" however, if you manage to reserve exactly 50% of your life that would mean you're both at low life AND Agnostic deactivates until your hp goes down of course

carmine canopy
#

Agnostic still consumes mana if you've got life reserved

robust surge
#

oh it does?

#

damn it

#

never mind then 😦

carmine canopy
#

It was indeed a good idea

robust surge
#

I was thinking that plus MOM on a hierophant with cloak of defiance would mean I only take 10% direct dmg lol

#

I wonder if anyone has ever made a build with so much Mana regen that Agnostic doesn't lower your mana LOL

#

Gotta research

proper widget
#

i feel like thats every agnostic build

#

or i guess the cost only kicks in when ur actually down hp

robust surge
#

Yeah thats waht I mean, Assuming you're always not at full hp. You have so much mana regen that your mana doesnt go down even though agnostic is ticking

sharp iron
#

How much time do we have left for Ritual?

rare girder
tawny pasture
rare girder
#

its probably 40% of the damage you take that didnt get taken from mana

sharp iron
#

Thanks

rare girder
#

otherwise you could use other sources of mana before life to gain 0% damage taken directly

#

which would basically be immortality with any amount of leech

robust surge
#

You're probably right there, but is still quite strong assuming that the Petrified BLood doesn't gain more on the dot that is still a 70% dmg reduction

rare girder
#

issue is PB has 35% mana reserve

#

and is not an aura

#

so you cant put it in essence worm

#

so have fun stacking enough mana to support 70% MoM with that

robust surge
#

With 22% reduced mana reserved + Blood Magic 20 + Enlighten 3 you achieve a 50% Hp reservation on a 35% mana reservation gem (I was testing it with Discipline)

rare girder
#

50% HP reserve loses you the perma overleech effect of PB

#

also 22% RMR is not exactly the easiest thing to grab

robust surge
#

I was thinking on making a caster so

#

Also with Agnostic who cares about overleech?

rare girder
#

agnostic on PB? you'll have constant mana degen

robust surge
#

Thats why I was asking if its possible to get so much mana regen that even with Agnostic active 100% of the time mana still wont go down

#

Dunno if thats possible

rare girder
#

it wont go down passively

#

but once you take your first hit

#

70% MoM hits

#

aaaaand you're at 0 mana

robust surge
#

Yeah

#

I was contemplating making it work but since you pointed out that they're not addictive that killed it for me hahaha

#

Which makes sense, if it was it would be very op

rare girder
#

also in all of this

#

where is your DPS

robust surge
#

I haven't think about that yet. I was just thinking about whether that was possible or not xD

rare girder
#

you're already spending a ton of passives getting 22% RMR and enough HP to support PB

leaden wraith
#

i wonder if you can reserve life with pb

rare girder
#

you can but reserving >= 50% loses your permaleech

leaden wraith
#

it'll be nice to theory craft around

#

having perma leech on not slayer could be cool

robust surge
#

Essence Worm just says it reserves no mana, doesn't it work with Heralds?

rare girder
#

oh hm

#

maybe you could then

leaden wraith
#

and we dont know if this scales with gem level yet

#

could go more than 40% if it does

rare girder
#

A level 1 petrified blood prevents 40% of that loss,

#

i would say this implies it does

robust surge
#

Yeah I'm very interesting in finding that out too @leaden wraith

rare girder
robust surge
#

Yeah but how much, 50% or 60%? Anything higher than that would be insane in my opinion

rare girder
#

wonder what the max will be

leaden wraith
#

if it goes past 50%, which is the breakeven, its basically slayer leech for the most of it

robust surge
#

Yeah if it reaches 60% I'm going to be very happy.

rare girder
#

wonder if it will have an alt qual that will scale it

#

wonder what the base quality scales on it even

#

maybe the duration that damage is taken over?

leaden wraith
#

maybe

rare girder
#

4s => 4.5s at 20q

#

or smth

#

though that would make 23q do nothing on it

#

assuming it rounds to 1 place

sour mountain
#

im just watching the presentation now
you can use an offering to go to a random trial 😍

leaden wraith
#

some of the changes are very nice

lucid stone
#

Does Corrupting Fever work with totems?

rare girder
#

this means you only really need to find a single trial in maps now

#

unless the opened trials dont drop offerings

lucid stone
#

I wonder how petrified blood DoT damage works with MoM

#

Hmm, that actually sounds like a fun build...
Divine Flesh + MoM + Ivory tower + Petrified Blood... + font of thunder + Mind of the Council?

#

Doesn't help for phys damage, though

sharp iron
#

Guys! I have a theory!

We know that Veiled Chaos orbs are basic currency items, and that they are going to add more vendor recipies.

The vendor recipie for chaos orbs is 1 rare item for every equipment (or a 2 handers filling both hand slots).

So I theorize there will be a vendor recipie for veiled chaos orbs, being 1 veiled rare item for every equipment slot. Which would also give incentive to not immedietly vendor items after unveiling them (as they always have their own influence icon, even after unveiling)

sour mountain
#

especially as you get a lot of offerings from things other than trials

#

im curious if anyone's thought of good ways to use the new veiled orb but idk

maiden coral
#

So Im a bit curious if trials opened by offerings will drop offerings
Chaining them eternally might seem too good cause once you get one you get all (eventually)

warm lodge
#

what is the reliquary foil version of things? Is it just a cosmetic difference

dull pawn
#

wonder how many people are gonna be angry about the harvest changes

gaunt loom
#

harvest will still be good, not just op shit

barren crescent
#

it will still be op shit

dusky kernel
#

There is a chance to keep chaining vaal side areas back when it was worth opening them in your hideout but those days are long gone since now you get absolutely showered in fragments

#

Mostly fishing for midnights because midnights used to be rare back in the days of literally watching your HD activity to look to see if a vaal side area was available in your instance

maiden coral
#

Yeah that's true

dusky kernel
#

They said they wont have the specific syndicate persons mods

#

like elreons or haku's

#

in the veiled chaos orb pool

#

which is a BIG shame

#

that might be the only change because the new tier of unveil is all numerical increases

#

so like unveiling the added phys mod before still unlocks the T2 added phys we know and love, but the unveiled put onto the item is closer to the T1 mod

#

that i dont know

hollow mason
#

cant find any info bout slinger reservation of life-cost spells

#

am i right, slinger would reserve mana, but spend life on cast?

cunning blade
#

why would it spend resource

#

if its already reserving

hollow mason
#

but reserving what?)

cunning blade
#

no idea for that tho

#

likely will reserve mana

#

since spellslinger already overrides the cost for the spells

hollow mason
#

thats smart

cunning blade
#

could be a good way to deal with life costs but lets see how good these gems are first anyway whatYouDidThere

hollow mason
#

opens CI possibilities

#

or low life

sour mountain
#

i would figure you'd be better off linking your spellslinger to Arrogance

cunning blade
#

what

#

y

#

its not an aura so it wont benefit

#

u lose a dmg support

#

and get a massive 200% multi on it for reservation

cursive gust
#

still looking for info on everlasting sacrifice

slender temple

#

:anonpony_stressed:

slender temple
#

well maybe sooner

#

if we get the json next week for pob

rare rose
#

Obviously we don't know all the Ultimatum modifiers yet.. but what builds come to mind when you think about builds that can ignore a lot of troubling map mods and such?

slender temple
#

summoner

#

mines

#

traps?

#

maybe brands idk

rare rose
#

Yeah, might be a carrion golem start for me if the patch notes are tame.

#

last couple leagues I had build envy seeing people with other starters be able to trivialize league content with other builds.. and I hate to re-roll until I at least get pretty well into red maps and a couple awakener kills

slender temple
#

this league looks like it might be group play friendly

#

even with random people

#

weird and cool

bold basalt
#

i want to try steel skills next league

#

so they'll prolly get massive fuckt

sour mountain
#

what i am inclined towards, currently, is something that stuns the entire wave and keeps them stunned

#

possibly consecrated path

slender temple
#

stun was nerfed

sour mountain
#

glacial hammer is a good idea too yes

slender temple
#

cold damage claps cheeks and works well with double/triple dipping builds

sour mountain
#

winter orb CWC ice nova maybe

slender temple
#

phys -> lightning -> cold

wanton bridge
#

the new atziri staff drops from regular atziri or uber?

sour mountain
#

i always like playing glacial cascade but i would prefer pbaoe

slender temple
#

im gonna do cold conversion minions

#

then later phys->lightning->cold conversion brands

wanton bridge
#

for freeze shenanigans im defo going for creeping frost cultist chan

which minion has the best AOE skills?

#

carrion golem has some neato AOE swipes and might be doable

wanton bridge
#

FAS @sour mountain

#

Frost Auto Scouts

sour mountain
#

oh you just made me think of!

#

the effigy dudes that are a kitava minion

wanton bridge
#

they also have innate cold conversion so you wont need triad grip

#

wickermen

#

they got hard nerfed

slender temple
#

well currently targeting carrion golems but if they are nerfed ill just go straight into brands

sour mountain
#

yeah i thought so

slender temple
#

OR

#

new spectres

sour mountain
#

carrion golems seem like they would be fairly straightforward, not dependent on doing anything too fancy, can fit into a variety of minion based builds

slender temple
#

if they exist

#

btw

#

+1 spectre chests are drop only mod so

#

tehy gonna be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

#

ssince no more infinite duping via einhar

sour mountain
#

i play ssf so i think spectre might be a skip then 😦

wanton bridge
#

@sour mountain not necessarily

sour mountain
#

sure, i could aisling lab it

wanton bridge
#

if you get a femur of the saints you can get 4 spectres

slender temple
#

CI spectre wil be painful. lifebase probably ok but still super expensive chests

sour mountain
#

i think i'll be better off if i go for golems

#

i always like skelly + carrion golem

wanton bridge
#

i want to know what spells are atziri's staff supposed to cast

sour mountain
#

very comfortable to play them

#

they are supposed to cast the spells Atziri casts, i believe

wanton bridge
#

which flameblast and storm call however?

#

she has two of them

sour mountain
#

they might jsut be those, but with beefed up numbers

wanton bridge
#

the super charged ones or the regular ones?

sour mountain
#

if it's super charged flameblast that'll be interesting

wanton bridge
#

the screen filling flameblast would be mega fun

#

but i know how im league starting

sour mountain
#

well, you can do that with flameblasts already, right?

wanton bridge
#

cold dot occultist

sour mountain
#

can't go wrong with that

#

freezing pulse into cold dot is comfy

wanton bridge
#

well i was thinking creeping frost

#

creeping frost & cold snap

sour mountain
#

when do you get creeping?

wanton bridge
#

think act 1

sour mountain
#

oh they dropped it to level 12

#

thats not so bad

wanton bridge
#

idk tbh

sour mountain
#

still, i think you would be better off with freezing pulse until you get some dot multi

#

lmp pulse is just really good feeling levelling imo

wanton bridge
#

yea

#

@sour mountain act1 yea

#

i checked

sour mountain
#

and if you want to stick with freezing pulse until mapping, it plays comfortably with First Snow

wanton bridge
#

nah

#

ill atleast get a rime gaze by then

#

@sour mountain right now i have three builds ready-ish

#

berserker cyclone

sour mountain
#

i am leaning towards a minion guardian of some kind

wanton bridge
#

atziri staff elementalist

#

and cold dot occultist

sour mountain
#

cold to fire glacial cascade is also a very stable pick that i like to play

wanton bridge
#

mines?

#

or totems?

cursive gust
#

How does divine flesh work with eldritch battery and MoM

twin geyser
wanton bridge
#

@twin geyser i was asking Saihah about cold to fire glacial cascade

twin geyser
#

Oh. Misinterpreted it.

wanton bridge
#

no problem

bold basalt
#

just saw Q&A, saw only map owner will get witness

#

day made

covert nacelle
#

what were the numbers for that forced-lowlife thing? limited to 50% life from non-flask healing, 40% of incoming damage taken as DoT instead?

paper flare
covert nacelle
#

so bottom half of the life pool, but does it work with MoM 👀

paper flare
covert nacelle
#

dope

paper flare
#

I think it should work with MoM in a sense

covert nacelle
#

eh ok it sorta works.

#

the redirected damage doesn't get split

paper flare
#

Like, any damage taken from the bottom half of your life pool

#

Right

#

This basically just helps you mitigate big hits with sustain, for the builds that don't want to go shavs but want to be low life with all the blood skills

covert nacelle
#

so I'm assuming it only counts if the life would have been lost, which means stuff like Jinxed Juju would apply beforehand.

#

yeah see I'm still not seeing that as actually viable somehow lol

#

investing in life but then cutting all that investment in half seems counterintuitive, but who knows maybe it'll still be good for some reason.

paper flare
#

There are some benefits that come from never reaching full life

#

Like leech effects never removing themselves, so you basically get slayer leech

#

For the lower half of your life pool anyway

covert nacelle
#

basically it'll only work if your recovery is absolutely insane, which y'know, fair enough.

paper flare
#

It just opens up life based or hybrid low life builds honestly

#

Which is cool like, with the new essence of hysteria helmet mod and pain attunement and all these skills that cost life it'll be a fun puzzle to solve for people

covert nacelle
#

well we'll have to see how much one-shot protection it ends up providing.

bold basalt
#

imo it sounds as good one shot protect

#

will prolly be pretty pog with mom

paper flare
#

Enables some fun stuff with some of the items we didn't really have a good reason to use before. Replica last resort, dreadbeak, lori's lantern, etc.

#

I think if the % goes up with gem levels by 1 it'll be enough to enable a low life, life build

covert nacelle
#

the problem is, it cuts your life in half, which is the opposite of one shot protection.
so yeah we'll have to see where the % ends up.

paper flare
#

Like oh you have 50% life, but 60% of your incoming damage is happening over a few seconds instead.

covert nacelle
#

that'd be pretty dope

paper flare
#

As long as you have enough recovery to survive normally that should be enough to keep you going

#

It starts at 40% lvl 1, I'd imagine lvl 21 is 60% but could understand if it didn't go up that high

covert nacelle
#

it'd fuck you vs strong DoT but y'know, all part of the tradeoff.

paper flare
#

I mean if you don't have enough sustain to survive the dot anyway what's the difference

covert nacelle
#

half the time to react?

paper flare
#

Like unless the dot expires and you would normally survive with less than 50% hp it shouldn't be a huge difference maker

#

Oh I don't put myself in a position where I have to like react against dots

#

Life flask is always bubbling

covert nacelle
#

smash bleed flask, dash out of DoT zone... eh there's use cases.

paper flare
#

There's some really strong while on low life effects though

covert nacelle
#

I'm probably gonna end up doing some dumb meme shit.

#

as usual.

paper flare
#

Soul of ryslatha, the life flask charge one

#

It's upgrade is 60% inc recovery from life flasks while on low life

#

Lori's lantern has
Damage from Enemies Hitting you is  Unlucky while you are on Low Life

#

Lots of budget options here

covert nacelle
#

(psst, panicked flask)

paper flare
#

I can't imagine you wouldn't use bubbling most of the time here, if you're forcing low life through reservations

#

Just so that it doesn't get removed once you cap out

hollow mason
#

unlucky means that damage of mob would roll twice and ull get hit by lowest roll

#

they both could be highest rolls and both could be crit

covert nacelle
#

I don't think it rerolls crits

#

but on average it's something like 10% damage reduction.

#

which, honestly pretty ok

#

limited hardcore viability

fading cedar
#

Is it just me or are the new skills dead on arrival?

hollow mason
#

occasional damage reduction 🙂

covert nacelle
#

? they seem pretty decent

#

assuming there's gonna be a passive tree rework to support some of the new stuff

hollow mason
#

better than cracling lance on release

covert nacelle
#

kek

#

honestly I'm pretty psyched to try out Reap as a DoT skill.

hollow mason
#

they could be as good as dark pact berz meta

bold basalt
#

reap looks like better reave/cleave

hollow mason
#

ill look at notables first

covert nacelle
#

reave/cleave are attack-based so it's not a direct comparison but

bold basalt
#

oh reap is spell?

hollow mason
#

and needed one more support gem still

covert nacelle
#

ye

fading cedar
#

The reap skill has a 0.8 cast time. A 0.7 cast time skill is mostly unplayable.

bold basalt
#

it's time for blood inquisition

covert nacelle
#

I mean, as a DoT skill it doesn't matter.

bold basalt
#

COC REAP

covert nacelle
#

yeah you could go hit-based reap ig

#

maybe

hollow mason
#

coralito crit based dot could be fun

paper flare
#

Once we see gems and new tree I'll decide if reap is playable or not

#

The chaining one def has more potential to become a popular skill I'd say

hollow mason
#

pretty much this

covert nacelle
#

yeah, well. as is, there's no support for it in the tree.

paper flare
#

Personally I'll be starting reap no matter what cause I love the whole idea behind it

#

You're just reaping monsters like hell yes

hollow mason
#

what if void sphere get phys dot too?

covert nacelle
#

if trickster doesn't get support for reap in the passive tree I'm gonna riot

paper flare
#

Don't think they're changing void sphere but who knows

hollow mason
#

tentacles chaining skill could be also fun

paper flare
#

I mean they don't typically put skills right into ascendencies right? Exception being necro since it's minions

covert nacelle
#

I mean in that region of the passive tree

#

but yeah

paper flare
#

Ohhh

#

Honestly I'd be okay with it around trickster or around all the bleed stuff by duelist

hollow mason
#

phys dot in general havent any source of multiplicate, but nearby take inc phys damage

paper flare
#

Realistically it'll get placed or included in nodes around both areas

#

You can get phys dot multi?

covert nacelle
#

yeah you actually can lol

paper flare
#

Wdym it doesn't have any sort of multiplication

hollow mason
#

clusters

covert nacelle
#

it's mostly clusters yeah

paper flare
#

Yeah but we knows it's coming on the tree they already said it is, ontop of clusters and regular jewels

#

Apparently some affixes are getting adjusted as well

#

It'll be playable

#

Meta or strong? Doubtful, but it'll be playable

fading cedar
#

Another thing I don't really get is corrupting blood. It's a spell, but modifiers to spell damage do NOT apply. So only physical and DoT apply (and maybe bleeding?)

covert nacelle
#

I think the confusion here is you said "You can get phys dot multi?" and people were like "of course you can" when you meant "uhh no, you can get phys dot multi right?"

hollow mason
#

ok, ithave stave node, axe node, sword node and tricksters dot multi

covert nacelle
#

dude

#

tree rework

hollow mason

Downfall — Today at 9:03 PM
Once we see gems and new tree I'll decide if reap is playable or not

pretty much this

covert nacelle
paper flare
paper flare
#

Corrupting blood is changing to 10 stack limit

fading cedar
#

And flasks that remove bleeding also remove corrupting blood 🤔

paper flare
#

Yeah they're like clarifying it all now, to make it clear that it isn't a bleed the bleed mods are getting a line for corrupting blood

hollow mason
#

crimson dance against weapon swap ensnaring arrow - 95% of damage

paper flare
#

What

#

Are you talking about a bleed build?

hollow mason
#

yep

#

melee bleed

#

against bosses who use tp, have unwavering stance and only staying at place without moving

quasi siren
#

Have they mentioned if you can go to your H/O between waves to do a trade? Or once you start an Ultimatum, are you locked into finishing before you can do a trade?

hollow mason
#

i think on map u locked on pause between waves

#

so trade quite impossible till the end

quasi siren
#

Shucks. Oh well. Minor inconvenience.

hollow mason
#

u still could finish fast with trash rewards

#

opportunity cost

quasi siren
#

Just don't crash! Haha.

hollow mason
#

yeah, exactly

paper flare
#

It's like mini heists

bold basalt
#

just dont trade

slender temple
#

anyone thought about mahuxotl. how does corrupted soul + divine flesh work together?!?! does corrupted soul win for the way damage is handled?

violet nymph
#

no clue on how it works.

#

it's something that needs actual testing

slender temple
#

that item

#

i want to learn more haha

covert nacelle
#

if i have phys taken as ele with the new Petrified Blood, and i get hit by phys, would i take ele dot?

languid path
#

petrified blood does not care about what type of dmg you take, only how much life you are going to lose after all dmg calculation is done

covert nacelle
#

i know but would i end up taking a pure phys dot or some ele? like does it check before or after conversion? I’d assume after

languid path
#

petrified blood is not a dot, it is not damage in anyway, it does not have any dmg type

covert nacelle
#

er..

languid path
#

and it is after all dmg calculation, so yes it will be after dmg shift is done

covert nacelle
#

the damage you take is spread out over 4 seconds. thats not a dot with a duration of 4 seconds?

silver kettle
#

no

covert nacelle
#

hm.

#

well at least i know its still converted

languid path
#

it's more accurate is describe it as "the health you would lose"

silver kettle
#

the damage is calculated, and then instead of losing the life from that damage instantly you lose a portion over 4 seconds

covert nacelle
#

odd. aiite

silver kettle
#

it's not an aura

#

making it apply to nearby allies would be...problematic

violet nymph
#

how does all this stuff work with ES

#

if you use petrified blood can you still have an ES globe over your life

#

i.e would a hybrid inquis setup be strong or not strong

languid path
#

ye, but it does nothing unless the dmg that you would take would delete all your ES and dmg the 50% of your life

#

even then only the portion of dmg not mitigated by es would actually be affected by petrified blood

next epoch
#

Vaal Pact: when you hit things, you gain life instantly instead of over time
Petrified Blood: when things hit you, you lose life over time instead of instantly

carmine canopy
#

Reverse Leech

#

or, if you play League of Legends, it's like getting a Death's Dance

covert nacelle
#

hm.. if you take a hit with Petrified Blood, then gain ES, will you still lose life or would it go through the ES instead?

languid path
#

petrified blood is not dmg, it does not interact with es

#

you simply lose the life, like how when you use a skill with blood magic it wont interact with es

wanton rivet
#

petrified blood + first to strike seems like a crazy engine

sharp iron

Oh hey, they added Moratorium from Diablo III to Path of Exile https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Moratorium

first to strike wont work with it unless u decide to use a flask to go over low life and drop back down

Well, I think I've just finished all of what I want to do with my Ritual character now. Got my Unnatual Instinct from defering, not much else in my deferal list is worth much, and I just completed a temple as well.

lucid stone
#

Bloodthirst support would not work with spectral shield throw, right?

sharp iron
#

Why wouldn't it?

wind sundial
#

Because spectral shield throw doesn't use your weapon damage

#

And Bloodthirst specifies weapon damage

#

I believe?

sharp iron
#

Ah

thick cosmos
#

any1 got some decent leaguestarter guides for this "exangunate" ability :D? it looks really cute i wanna try it out ❤️

eager charm
#

we cant plan for what isnt released yet

#

wait until patch notes

sharp iron
#

Given how they're adding multiple life-spending abilities, do you think we'll get any passive nodes on those?

wind sundial
#

They have said there's going to be passive tree changes

#

So we'll see

sharp iron
#

There used to only be 2 Brand skills but there were still passives related to those. And there's going to be more than 2 skills with Life costs now. Plus there are supports that allow you to give anything a life cost.

thick cosmos
#

i like the concept of life cost instead of mana and keeping my mana to reserve for auras 😄

#

i wanna do a full leech slayer and go nuts with auras lol

sharp iron
#

Conversely, it might be viable for my Archmage Witch to reserve life instead of mana for her Discipline. Depends on how much Arrogance increases aura effect.

spare axle
#

so, how does agnostic work with petrified blood ?

slender temple
#

i think they said it drains the mana nonstop

#

soo i imagine diviniation distilliate wil be easier to use ?

#

😄

#

would have loved to go LL with agnostic

#

though just maybe I can achieve it still

ember lodge
#

Replace it with overleech

sharp valley
#

technically dont need overleech since you are never full health?

gleaming peak
#

I think that’s correct

ember lodge
#

What I meant is that since you are always at 50% hp, your leech effects don't turn off. So it's a 'free' pseudo-overleech effect on petrifying blood.

vast gazelle
#

Yeah honestly this seems big for mf tbh

damn im so excited for popcorn zombies with that low life buff

will be doing 2mill dps on a budget

popcorn golems 😄 if not nerfed

dry kindle
#

yea was thinking that too, can't decide

sharp valley
#

exsanguinate is breaking my head as in how i would even make a character with it...

#

is not a projectile, but can chain, consumes life not mana, physical DoT not bleed

dry kindle
#

the war banners and melee auras should be great for it

ember lodge
#

and it's on hit damage too

dry kindle
#

maybe even somehow get it to poison too

covert nacelle
#

theres probably going to be support for it on the tree

#

and we were already teased phys dot multi on weapons

tawdry heron
#

im really wanting to know if the dot from reap is going to be considered an ailment

#

and if it can be converted, since its just labeled as Physical Damage over time and is not a bleed

sharp valley
#

it shouldnt since it should work like soulrend

#

wich is also not an ailment

#

similar with creeping frost

vast gazelle
#

either could be good

vast gazelle
#

you cant convert wintertide with cold to fire etc.

tawdry heron
#

true

#

probably wont focus on the dot then

#

on it

#

unless the new stuff on skill tree for phys dot is good

vast gazelle
#

yeah

#

@tawdry heron think of exsanguinate as a physical arc

#

with some dot stuff stapled on

#

arc chains but isnt a proj

tawdry heron
#

im talking about reap here

#

not exsanguinate

oh sorry

Guys, I found something while rewatching the Ultimatum reworks

cunning blade
#

?

sharp iron
#

The flavor text for Winged Blighted Scarab references the Heart of Blight boss that never made it into the game

#

This might be the update that finally adds it.

cunning blade
#

go post it on reddit vanity

#

free karma

sharp iron
#

Don't really use that site anymore but okay

#

If you don't know, Cassia has lines in-game where she theorizes there must be a source of the Blight, and people have datamined unused voice lines for a Heart of Blight boss fight.

#

I'm trying to find the exact lines right now

sharp iron
#

Found it!

slender temple
#

maybe they wil finish this quest line in poe2

sharp iron
#

This is the update where they are revising previous leagues. Seems like the perfect time for me.

maiden coral
#

Not just this update imo, this year seems like a step towards breathing life towards everything

sour mountain
#

if you can now corrupt the blighted maps maybe you'll be able to corrupt into the heart of blight

north dragon
#

time to get that double mirror

maiden coral
#

it has to state you sac a mirror sadly

zenith warren
#

When the double mirror thing dropp as good as a mirror itself, good luck finding one 😄

marsh wyvern
#

GL finding anything higher than an alch to sac

zenith warren
#

Not like an exalt is that difficult to find

cunning blade
#

also apparently sincr every1 has different rewards

#

im gonna assume every1 has different sacrifice in parties

#

and if u die, ur team cant salvage ur mirror kekw

marsh wyvern
#

@zenith warren ex are quite rare unless u are playing like 12+ hours a day just farming. its not the exalt itself we are talking about btw. the currency sac thing in ultimatum is what im speaking of. if you think the sac exalt thing is gonna be common, you must be new to poe

zenith warren
#

Ye, since exalted dropp as rare as mirrors

marsh wyvern
#

ex rare as mirrors? im confused

frosty forge
cunning blade
#

oh

#

interesting

#

so can hire some op dude to safe guard ur 1 mirror gamble

🤡

red jackal
#

and then it'll drop free for all

#

(they're in some remove-only "stash" like ritual rewards I think though)

final dagger
#

Do we know if reflect is gonna be a possible mod on ultimatum encounters?

bold basalt
cunning blade
#

they would never put in a mod that 99% of players affected cant reliable build a counter against, like for simulacrum

#

only instances of reflect now are outdated content ( atziri and lab ) or content u can control if reflect is rolled ( maps )

bold basalt
#

doubt ultimatum would be that good

#

but hey, have been wrong before

#

don't forget to farm coast and tidal island ultimatum in first hour for 10 tabulas

#

i know i'll try it

zenith warren
#

They should slap it onto the twilight strand, so you can farm uber hillock with it

bold basalt
#

tbh i wouldn't mind that

zenith warren
#

Dont know if there is anything more boring than farming uber hillock

bold basalt
#

i wouldnt do it

#

id just buy the sword for levelling

slender temple
#

well

#

if i ever played an SSF league id do it again

#

oni goroshi is insanely op for low investment

zenith warren
#

15-20 hours farm?

slender temple
#

took me 17 hours total when i did it the one time

zenith warren
#

Dunno really about ssf, dont play it

slender temple
#

when i started playing poe that is . someone told me about this item that was "too hard for me to get" and im like *** please i used to spend days in one spot in everquest trying to get an item killing something every 15 minutes

zenith warren
#

Can you trade between your char with ssf?

slender temple
#

getting oni hooked me on poe and also cuz poe is great

#

SSF is separate league

#

so all stashes are separate

#

you can trade between your own chars that are inside that league

#

but not with other players or your chars and stashes in other leagues

zenith warren
#

Then goroshi farm isnt that bad

slender temple
#

@violet nymph no idea aht that is. ragnarok online?

#

ive heard of it

zenith warren
#

Since you can with 4 chars

slender temple
#

yeah

#

oni is fine

#

its a 6 link weapon that scales all the way up to level 100

#

ewww

zenith warren
#

Dunno i just farm insane in the membrane in wow, that is enough for me

slender temple
#

i like poe method

#

all instanced

#

competing only in build efficiency and currency gathering

gray ravine
#

so if i understood the trailer right

#

ultimatum is basically ritual with more steps but less rewards?

bold basalt
#

i mean in the time you farm oni, you can level to maps, and craft better weapon altogether

slender temple
#

because

#

you get a rewards for every round you complete

gray ravine
slender temple
#

in ritual you might get 1-4 rewards or 0 if you were deferring

bold basalt
#

I consider that a boon

#

goddess is terribly written

gray ravine
#

but you're getting shit rewards. in ritual you defer stuff you want

slender temple
#

well

bold basalt
#

i actually levelled with oni recently, and I cringed everytime there was a voiceline

slender temple
#

you kind of have choice in ultimatum too

#

you can stop anytime and cash out

gray ravine
#

idk, in the trailer it looked like the rewards were garbage

#

random 2 socket rares or something

slender temple
#

shrug ritual was mostly garbage too just like most of hte gacha mechanics. you gotta grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind to get the good stuff

zenith warren
#

If you are lucky

bold basalt
#

ritual was pretty sucky that you had to do it multiple times and monsters spawned so slowly

slender temple
#

i didnt like the "well you deffered this item" but we dont show it to you for 20 rituals

bold basalt
#

oh ye

slender temple
#

i stil lhave a fated connections and a few other high value items lost in the defer pipeline

#

no motivation to make them appear

bold basalt
#

i have bunch of 6links deferred

#

on character i stopped playing

#

week after start

gray ravine
#

6 links are basically a divine anyway

bold basalt
#

not in first week

o lol i only got 1+ hours a day of gametime so by the time im getting 6 links they're worth a divine XD

slender temple

with fenumal plagued arachnids

#

craicic chimeral

#

the STD market for duping legacy bases just died. those guys probably madly scrambling now to make a dupe inventory

gray ravine
#

i like that they made temples a sellable item tho

tender tusk
#

duping involves splitting

gray ravine
#

no more sitting in base for hours trying to sell a temple

tender tusk
#

it's not the same thing though

bold basalt
#

fractured fossils still exist tho

#

synthesis bases

#

like explody bow are gonna be even better

slender temple
#

yes

bold basalt
#

5 scarab maps are gonna be fracture fossiled too

gray ravine
#

huh, so ultimatum is gonna add mods to a map already juiced up on mods

#

fk my life

slender temple
#

just play aoe supression build

#

like summoner

gray ravine
#

i hate summoners

slender temple
#

livid oasis

bold basalt
#

just gonna do steel skill champion if it doesnt get too nerfed

#

drop bunch of steel turrets and gg

zenith warren
#

They should slap rewards at the end and patchnotes today

#

Who cares about challenge right now?

slender temple
#

get people excited

#

idk

#

this is what they have done every pre league

bold basalt
#

i'd rather see patch notes/manifesto over the weekend

#

so I can watch content about it over the weekend

slender temple
#

same

bold basalt
#

it does make sense from hype pov that they release more interesting stuff closer to league start though

slender temple
#

well

#

we have "something" everyday until launch

#

starting today

#

so the hype trai will keep moving

sharp iron
#

Guys! I just realized something

#

Heart of the Grove is being converted into a fragment you can find and then use in the map device to bring you to the fight, instead of something you randomly encounter

#

And the Incursion temple is also itemizable, activated in the map device now.

slender temple
#

ok?

sharp iron
#

This means you can theoretically have the Maven witness the Heart of the Grove and Omnitect fights

slender temple
#

maybe

#

probably not

devout osprey
#

dont give them ideas

slender temple
#

nuless they do

#

oshabi-omnicect-3head guy

#

as new invitation

sharp iron
#

You can have her witness breachstones and other fragments, so she should be able to witness the Heart of the Grove fight

slender temple
#

pale council should eb included too then

#

right after they PUT THE PALE COUNCIL MUSIC IN THE HIDE OUT MUSIC PLAYER peepoFloorCry

sharp iron
#

If I were GGG, I replace "The Forgotten" Maven's Invitation with "The Corrupted", and have it be vaal-themed encounters instead of Synthesis encounters. Then when Atziri gets moved from The Feared to that, put Heart of the Grove in The Feared to replace her.

slender temple
#

oshabi doesnt belong in the feared. she can be instant killed with 0 risk

sharp iron
#

Oh

slender temple
#

oshabi is a joke

#

i did the oshabi part of egg this league

#

i never even saw her mechanics

#

she just landed on the ground

#

and instantly expoded into loot

sharp iron
#

I didn't know because she was one boss I never fought

slender temple
#

basicalyl its a dps test

#

if you have enough

#

you can skip the entire fight

#

she could be included wiht pale council in like "The others, fine ill collect them too"

#

i like your idea of vaal invitation though

#

now that thre are 3 itemized vaal boss fights

#

roomba, quad and 3head

#

hmm

#

1, ?, 3, 4

#

kind of like delve nodes !

#

so then delve bosses shoudl get witnessed too

sharp iron
#

It doesn't really make sense for Delve bosses to be witnessable

slender temple
#

do they not matter

#

;\

vast gazelle
#

they are in your wraeclast

#

not in the atlas

slender temple
#

oh

#

OH

#

good point

carmine vigil
#

cant they make fragments for them tho?

#

after you kill them in delves they drop fragments for atlas to get them witnessed

vast gazelle
#

i guess they could btu thats what theyd have to do

slender temple
#

i think it would be pretty awesome to itemize those

#

some of htem woudl be impossible tho

#

like the depth 2k auls haha

#

but still awesome

#

imagine maven witnessing depth 6k aul

#

TWINS

carmine vigil
#

lol

vast gazelle
#

ok

#

im now on board

#

but only if she witnesses at the strength of the depth

slender temple
#

yes agreed

#

and with the mods

#

from that area

carmine vigil
#

what if you can get the min depth one witnessed and the deeper ones in the same invitation because its 2 difficulty

slender temple
#

well invitations are fixed level

#

not related to the tier of boss we witnessed

carmine vigil
#

ah rip

#

imagine 10 delve bosses

red wharf
#

hey, I'm looking at 2 new skill gems, exsanguinate and reap, second one seems to be so much stronger looking at dmg numbers of hit/dot, what's the appeal of exa skill there? Surely chain tag doesn't solely explain it?

cunning blade
#

clear it seems

#

no idea if it will be any good though

red wharf
#

can't be.. reap is 58-87 hit/120.2 dot vs exa 13-19 hit / 17.7 up to triple dot

#

so roughly reap is 192.7 dps, exa at 3 stacks 69.1 dps

#

(for comparison, lvl1 exsa is 7 targets)

#

i took numbers from lvl1 gems

#

unless you mean requirement level? Does it affect anything?

#

but how does it affect their dmg/leveling?

covert nacelle
#

because a level 1 req level 1 gem is different from a level 1 req level 38 gem.

slender temple
#

or the awkened gems which have an even higher req level at leve 1

covert nacelle
#

like.. compare essence drain level 1 to bane level 1.
you know that ED does more damage than Bane, but if they're both at level 1, bane outdamages ED.

red wharf
#

so early level req gem scales up faster?

vast gazelle
#

early level gems are given in a1 or a2

sharp iron
vast gazelle
#

so their level 1 bases are lower to compensate

#

so level 1 reap compares more favorably to (we dont have the numbers but probably) level 5 or 6 exsanguinate, for example

next epoch
# red wharf so early level req gem scales up faster?

depends on what you mean by "faster". gems that you acquire early on in the campaign take much less experience to reach level 2, but you're also gaining a lot less experience (numerically) at that point so it kind of balances out

#

the total experience required to go from gem level 1 to 20 is roughly the same though, iirc

violet nymph
#

Yeah, its easier to compare their numbers against skills of the same level bracket

#

Since we only have level 1 data right now

vast gazelle
#

oh huh

#

controlled destruction is a link

#

that should work

formal jewel
#

Okay so ultimatum is dis
You go in
you kill stuff
and either you leave for a reward
or keep fighting monsters with modifiers for a better one

#

is that it?

#

Its like a harder ritual to me

next epoch
#

yeah, that's about the shape of it

formal jewel
#

Clear speed and survivability are two things imma go for so yee

next epoch
#

oh, actually, I think the rewards are cumulative -- you keep fighting for additional rewards, not just a better one

carmine vigil
#

mhm

#

it stacks ontop of first wave i believe
