I’ve seen boss areas with Scourge monsters. It made going to Scourge dimension useful if I was running out of flasks or life
Found the boss in scourge mode twice today. Apparently he always drops a unique with tier 3 scourge mods
😄
monkaS for someone 😄
Does anyone experience sudden ping spikes in maps?
Scourge feels like the opposite of Expedition
People hated Expedition for the nerfs but the League itself was fun
Scourge was hyped for the QoL but the league itself is... Shit
Like dude I like the Krangleverse
But not krangling my items
Yep essentially
Atleast ignoring scourge will be easier than ignoring all the nerfs of last league
I got a bramblejack :)
how come I can't post a picture?
of an item
I had a question about a modifier
that is on it
krangle league too good, servers overloaded
blood in crucible = amount of stacks?
my guess is blood in the crucible means the bar that you fill up to shift into it
I like how you can skip getting trials entirely by just finding a lab key from past league content
Uber lab b4 yellow maps
Yo guys. Anyone lagging like mad?
Yeah, scourge t1 on maps should take 2 maps at most.. then scale up a lot after that
they are trying to keep juicers from breaking the economy, but not letting non-juicers have a little fun
sheesh
gonna have to get a second character with passive tankiness to actually do krangle in maps :D
100ms lag = rip
Or just play minions, kek
maybe the level of the monsters you kill impact the rapidity of the "scourging", try to kill high level monsters
I heard minions were nerfed?
Doesn't really feel like it, im clearing t15's like butter atm
is it high budget?
I don't think minions were nerfed directly, but you can't invest in them as much due to the changes in aura (especially aura effect stat)
Hows flicker strike looking this league
This is how I'm doing so far on Scourge league. https://youtu.be/evw-8IoKWl4

Check poeninja. Only skellies left. Rest are <1%
Definitely not nerfed 
i gotta say it's hard to get basic currencies this league
Hey guys!!
I heard that the timer should stop when you encounter a Scourge boss..
Sooo, I found a few Scourge bosses now, but not a single time has the timer stopped...
What am I doing wrong?
Is Arakaali's Fang meta now or some shit? Since when is it 4ex 3 days after league start?
its rare
last league was easy to get with Gwennen and got "buffed" with The Squire shield
ok fair. I've just always picked one up early on for like 1ex, now it's 4 😦
Think I shouldnt try for krangle lvl 3 no?
honestly I wouldn't risk it
do scourge monsters spawn in incursions?
can't activate scourge in map incursions at least, but i'd expect maybe in the temple map?
i defended this game so much in the last league, lost about 20k karma on reddit for it. But now even I am disappointed... I play this game for the lootsplosions. This league sucks.
what

alva wants to kidnap me https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/189493061687050250/902325158063247410/unknown.png
Is there a trick to getting 6L from 15% add link, must have transformed atleast 80 times now, maybe its just very rare
I heard it only works for 5+1, not any other combination of 6 sockets (e.g. 3+3)
The explanation being it works kind of like tainted fusing, where it adds one link to the largest link group, rather than adding a link independent of how large those groups are
do scourge bosses have any loot worth killing them for? or just double scourged uniques
I was told there aren’t any league specific uniques this go round, which would lead to that answer being no
Just a loot explosion
explosion... more like a small firecracker of loot xd
For those who are doing challenges for recipe in Scourge league
Wicked Weapon = Vendor 1x Unique rustic belt + a normal / blue weapon + blacksmith whetstone
Exile ring = Vendor Tier 3 chaos resist on a ring + 1x augment orb + Amethyst Flask
192
thanks
...is there a way to find those out ingame lmao
"hey do this thing that is entirely unapparent to you that you will only find out through third party means"
Thank you, could find them by the life of me!

recipes are meant to be secret
I dropped a tainted exalt in act 5, and nobody seems to be buying them on trade - any idea what they're worth?
There's probably no demand right now so just wait till the price is good, it'll go up later in the league.
I got my first regular exalt in Act 6
I got mine in a logbook last league. rogchamp drop because I got three drop in one chest lmao
just zipping down the western forest when I decide to yeet an explosive concoction at a white pack at the end of the screen and they dropped it
it was a nice surprise
but if I discuss my experience with exalts in detail I'll move to a different channel.
yo, where do you find the Phys Damage Multi craft? Can't find it anywhere
https://gfycat.com/GreedyDapperCaimanlizard "Energy Blade is a shit skill don't league start with it" 🚎
How expensive
probably 1.5ex
What tier was that
I was wanting to start energy blade for consoles in a few days but I never saw anything decent
4
tfw it's way less efficient to get corruption stacks on scourge maps because you don't control when you go into nightmare.
I refuse to believe they've tested this league more than a few days :/
wdym
put bestiary on it and be more strategic about your usage
i get 300 stacks on nightmare on rare maps in yellow tier
I'm leaning on starting on ps4 too either on Energy Blade Static Strike smth, or tecslam ignite, if that's a thing. Is EB a decent skill?
what is the best single target melee skill for EB?
Does an conq exa force higher tier? no, right?
anyone know where to get multi mod rn?
check crafting bench
no, but it's guaranteed to add an influenced modifier for the influence it added, e.g. a warlord exalt will always add a warlord affix
kk, so if i'm down to one mod option i just have to pray for the high tier
I was live searching for a cheap Cold Iron point and there's this one that keeps popping up with -2 level of all spell from scourge . I always laugh when it appears
Lukewarm Iron Point
So what do you think about Scourge so far?
The mechanic isn't that enjoyable for me, tbh... But the reworks, updates and all make the game far more fun!
I like the general concept, but the risk-to-reward tuning needs some work. Negative scourge corruptions on items are a lot worse than the positive ones
Also, tainted currency feels like an unnecessary break of the "corrupted means it can't be crafted on" rule
Core game improvements can carry the league, which is fortunate
Mechanic of swapping over feels nice but rewards are Big Iffy and there’s dumb unreadable oneshots
Oh yeah. Also, the rare item drops from hellscape monsters are basically garbage
I think its fine for stuff like quality/blessings, currency that modifies affixes is a bit meh design imo
On a different note, Scourge feels like the writers went on break for a league. Not that they don't deserve it after all the work in Expedition
Anyone have any good lightning witch builds I can follow? Nothing online I've found that I like. I'm kinda doing okay so far but I feel like i'm going to fall off. I predominately play with friends
@next epoch We need a new crafting league ✊
For real tho if we follow general PoE themes and order
Lore leagues are sorta sandwiched between non lore ones
I was excited with this "What if Kitava won" at first, tho
It's a good starting point but they didn't really go anywhere with it
As for the risk reward of scourge, the issue I see can be applied to general crafting
"high end" doesn't matter since they have just larger pools, not better
Like getting an ilvl 80 weapon just to see a tier 8 mod on it
Combine that with the painfully long time it takes to transform an item, as well as the hard cap there is to it... And you get a mechanic that feels useless
Isnt this the point of the league?
Kitava always wins
Blesses you with -60 res
I mean we don't quite see that much lore
But this time he doubles down
For scourge I mean
Ye not much lore
As for the mechanic it's also VERY shitty how the good roll can be outright cancelled by the bad roll
There's just too many negative modifiers that amount to "the item is ruined, ha ha, fuck you"
Like "lightning damage is lucky No lightning damage" or smth like that
The issue is the amount of modifiers that outright eat the good mod alive
Like, imagine getting -30 to one ele res and plus 30 to another in an item
It feels... Pointless
The resistance modifiers just feel really boring tbh
They are
We got rings for that
I'm afraid Scourge isn't Core material until the mod pool gets sorted out
Like someone had to come up with twenty new corruption implicits before lunch
Must have been hungry
Hungry like Kitava
Well, I sorta like scourge as far ad encounters go
Shifting to another dimension to kill shit
Breach meets Abyss meets ???
Even if I'm not a big fan of "Ohhh look them big monsters are everywhere, look out they can hit harddd!"
I would like to see next league play a more... Intricate system
Like a puzzle, idk
Fuck it, just make a league where you gotta beat Doom for loot
Welp, I'm gonna keep waiting to see GGG make selfcast fun
Lightning tendrils gang... Wee...
"Kitava has spread monsters throughout Wraeclast guarding treasure! To defeat them, you must answer pop culture trivia questions!"
Does anyone know the new map that has the boss "The Cleansing Light"? It's no longer Basilica and I can't use my Mentor Prophecy. If anyone could just type in "The Cleansing Light" into the Atlas and let me know if any map highlights, that would be super helpful!
Scourge tier 3 only if your scourge 2 mods completely ruin your item, that's the scourgy rule
Otherwise consider trading, could be useful for someone else
u trying to proc prophecy?
Hi, I've made a guide/tips video for all scourge challenges
Check it out and let me know how You like it.
(If this do not belong here, please let me know and I will post it elsewhere)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUEwbezCwf0
Very nice. I was looking for a video about it and couldn't find one.
there's a scourge boss in every map?
how do you unlock 2nd map scourge slot?
bottom left skill point unlocks it
did they remove all the chance to cause bleeding from the tree? how do you cause bleeding now?
bleed gems, a sword base, like 2 clusters on tree that give chance to bleed
anyone know where i can find an updated list of blood altar flask mods?
nvm, finally found it
for the scourge linking thing does it work if i have 3link 3link or do i need to have 5 l to make it a 6l ?
3 link 3 link should work
If u upgrade an scourge corrupted item via prophecy, does that work? and does it keep the mods on it ?
dont think u can upgrade corrupted prophecy items
another scourged mess from global chat
I like the league so far, it's fun 😄
dangerous and rewarded with a slap in your face 😀
I mean it's not always a slap in the face, but there's some funny outcome for sure
Ouch
At least he got the stun and block recovery covered 😀 safety first
Anyone else having trouble surviving as an armor based build in higher map scourges? I notice when im running 8-9 maps once I reach about 50 stacks it’s generally a bad idea to go into scourge.
What other forms of defense do you have?
Block? Suppression? Recovery?
I’m not pure armor, but run a mix of armor/evasion/suppression and do still have situations where I can get chunked pretty hard, but rarely is it actually a 1shot. If you’re having trouble with getting swarmed, that’s more a speed/dam/clear issue than defenses
I’ll be adding block to my layers once I go dual wield
ok, I keep dying in scourge to some sort of giant black orb spell/attack. what the hell is killing me and how do I stop it?
I think that’s effectively just a slam to move away from
it's almost instant! 😦
Honestly that’s one I haven’t really paid much attention to. I’ve seen it, but I’m always moving forward, I don’t think its been an issue for me
For some reason can't complete hideout clear monsters when they are cleared ? Is it a bug ?
I'm cyclone, it may just be a lot riskier for me. pretty sure I'm gonna roll up a DD character though cos I feel like I want a lot more spell mitigation.
I just have armor and block atm, you think stacking evasion is the answer? My health pool is ok I feel, which is 4.6k. I also notice I die more if I have Bloodrage up but Ive also died without having bloodrage on.
Evasion isn’t necessary
4.6k is what I run, but I’m also using that new low life aura
That takes a percentage of the dam and translates it into damage over time
Ideally I want closer to 5.5k
But I’m only 81
I kinda feel like atm I’m really just being carried by damage, if things weren’t dead I probably wouldn’t be tanky enough
Yeah I dont have the best gear, saving up for a big upgrade.
What build are you runnin?
Ice crash zerker
Dying feels especially bad cause you gotta build up rage stacks but once you get goin, it’s fun as hell
I started this league with generals cry crush zerker, just wasn’t feeling it
Had survivability issues in yellow maps, wasn’t really doing good dam, didn’t like how the dam was delayed,
A lot of the problem was gear related, but it just felt like I had to put in so much effort paying attention to all the different layers of the build
Steel champ I just press 2 buttons plus mobility
One to do initial dam, second to clear the screen
You are describing my issues rn. Except i dont feel like my dam is lackluster. I def feel the lack of survivability on yellow maps
Feel like the aura will help tho, and when I get my neck I get really good leech
The aura feels almost op
I agree tho Zerker just doesnt feel like it meshes well with a mechanic that you are eventually gonna take more damage the more you do it
It gives you overleech + life reserve auras
As a champ it allows me to keep adrenaline up 100% of the time by simply popping a health flask when it fades
Thing is, zerker brings the dam. If it’s dead, it’s not hitting you
The whole point of zerker is to do massive dam
I haven’t done ice crash since it’s first league, so can’t really comment there
It’s somewhat of a slower skill right?
It hits, then radiates out in steps
Kinda yea
what kinds of build actually excel at the league mechanic? im struggling to find something that feels good to go into the upside down with
Well, this steel champ build is cruising with a temp est atm, but I’m not in red maps yet
Anything with massive screen clear and speed is going to do well
Whats the name of that aura?
Anyone here used DN this league?
Okay so
Why the F word is Tier 3 objectively worse than Tier 2?
Why didn't they tweak it better
I need to fix my flasks
Been lazy
But that kinda shows just how absurd the clear is atm, haven’t needed to bother with defenses much, and I’m even running 5link effectively atm due to not having -mana and using lifetap rather than gmp
Thanks!
does spellslinger work with tornado or will it keep refreshing the tornado before it can go out to deal damage?
the latter
dang
can i post meme items here?
Failed scourge items? Sure
At least it didn’t brick a good item
😂
I’m mostly using the mechanic to supply my chaos recipe tabs with amulets
Haven’t really had any great results
"Randomly shift into nightmare" + "Monsters can't be stunned" on high maps might as well read "Your character dies at random times".
it prevents stun on shifting?
Seems to
sounds like an oversight
personally I want 3 seconds of stun to accomodate my lag on shift
Running along minding my own business, random nightmare shift happens and I'm dead on what felt like that frame and nothing looked stunned
I don't hit lag/performance issues on shifts because my machine is OP, so it wasn't that for me
by the way, recently thinking on potential atlas tree options that don't make content more rewarding, but less rippy instead
I bet there's be some demand for "Portal Disruption: Intervention assassins are stunned for 1 second on arrival"
Well, the problem is… it’s hard to not make it more rewarding while also not making it impossible without buying maps
Since… the thing you need to run maps itself is a very sellable item
The way you make the atlas easier is by taking out watch stones, which inherently caps the rewards too
Eh, for that to have much value, every other option that improves rewards would also have to be removed.
I guess it would have some value for middle-scale players who don't play enough to produce a 5, 10M DPS build.
But you'd still need to include options that improve rewards and increase risk for the ones that do.
And even middle scale players will continue pushing for most DPS possible (because faster clearing is like a more multiplier on rewards).
And we're back to scaling the game against the top 1% of players.
hey i'm champion supp and my friend is playing tornado shot ballista poison what link should we use ?
Are you stacking block? Use the link that gives your buddy your block
i'm not
Yeah, I am talking about the middle-scalers. I don't expect the 1 percenters to take even one of those options, but they wouldn't be for them anyway
It’s… people want the best rewards, and feel forced into content that is too difficult for them to obtain them
But… there’s nothing forcing anyone to play at that level, you can earn currency and buy stuff from 84+ without leaving white maps,
Why would they need to, give the player a way to make things easier when the player could just, not make things harder
I purpose keep watchstone unsocketed at times to keep at a specific difficulty until I’m able to improve my gear for example
Hi, is the quality Effect of Energy Blade to get additional Critical Strike Chance an local bonus or an added chance?
I would assume that means it’s an “increased crit” modifier on any ability affected by the energy blades buff
But…
I’m unsure
A 10% more additive to the base crit would be rediculous
To the point of using it with almost no es just for the crit
Wouldn´t go so far as to say that its usable whitout es but it would be much better!
Anyone Looking to buy a Locus of Corruption?
Did try it out and it looked like the Weapon has the mod. X% increased Critical Strike Chance as Prefix.
Well, to use me as an example, it's not so much difficulty of content/size of rewards that I want, it's type
so for example I want to do scourge or betrayal, but it's also the kind of content where you can die from a lag spike easier than in other content, and is also susceptible to lag spikes
Ah
That’s definitely an area that messes with me, I’d love to just farm delves, but, I can’t without interacting with trade, for example
The game doesn’t make that easy to understand
I'd just love GGG to own up to what seems like a well-known fact to me: that their game is not optimized in the best way in relation to their players' computers/connections
Or easy to see the ROI of buying scarabs to get sulphite
Hmm… I don’t have a comment on the PC spec issue
I conclude Energy Blade Quality is a local Mod for the weapon and should work quite well to scale Crit! Just for anyone wondering.
funny enough, I'm on the other side of delves than most people seem to be
I would rather map
I just like smashing enemies constantly, not having to pick up loot on the way is just much more fun
Maps could technically have that, loot drops when you kill the boss, but having all the loot from a map deleted because you can’t complete it, along with the map…
I mean, that’s how delve works, but you can’t sell sulphite
So it’s less loss
Or you backtrack and loot later, provided you didn't use up all portals
Delirium kinda forces that anyway
because you gotta zoomzoom along wwith the fog, no time to pick up stuff
ha
imagine if the lootsplosion went directly into your hideout
Yeah, at the top end of juiced maps, having everything drop at the end would be insane
🤷 I don’t really know how to remedy that issue
Picking up loot at the end would likely end up even slower than looting on the way
If it was all stacked there
I do love how temples can now be itemized
Yes
if I built a shit temple, I can just toss it into the "sell later in bulk" pile
or run later in bulk, I guess
Now if I could sell compressed sulphite too instead of only the scarabs, I'd be a happy camper
I wonder if Betrayal could be itemized too, and if so, in what way. "Intelligence bundles" for Mastermind?
Doesn't build your board for you, though, so of limited use
if a scronch reduces gem level does it also decrease mana cost or not
k
So much yes! I've got a reasonably still ok 6700k and a RX480 combo, it was ok until 3.14 hit. ultimatum was a lag-death on occasion already, but Expedition completely killed any hopes of reaching yellow maps even. More than 30 monsters on the screen, lag-freeze-dead
1080ti is carrying your 4770k hard
The 1080Ti would probably last me another 2 years easily on PoE, on max settings lol
So, I am curious if anyone has found a way to make the skill "Dual Strike" actually work. I occasionally try to figure a way to make it work, but every league I always look at it and think "double strike" just does it better. Has anyone done anything with that skill recently that worked beyond just meme quality stuff?
Meanwhile: Me, with an i5 and a 1060
Only time I had framerate problems was trying a storm brand assassin + inpulsa a few leagues ago
Not to say I run on high graphics, though
Life flaskn't
You cannot get ye flask
Schrodingers Challenge
best inquisitior build for heist 3.16?
i wish we could corrupt more items, like scourge flasks or gems would be really cool
vaal dual strike was amazing one league, don't see why it still wouldn't be at least decent atm
yo how do i unlock the 2nd map slot in my crucible?
ive killed 2 different bosses
Killing bosses, rng drop
lvl 86 on red maps and still havent found a trial of ascendency
what to do man....
buy a offering?
Any1 have thoughts on ARC vs Ball lightning for patch 3.16? And I wish there was an updated guide for Ball lightning, it looks stronger/more fun but the tree has changed
havent even found a trial to complete, so offering wont open it
Accessing the Eternal Labyrinth no longer requires the completion of Trials of Ascendancy found in Maps, only the completion of previous Labyrinths. It still costs one Offering to the Goddess to access.
Hello I just got this one, any good? Haven't seen this implicit mod before
glooks
Has anyone noticed some mobs not getting stunned on phasing into krangleverse?
I'm looking at a Massive blue pack in my BA run where two or three of the ones right next to me didn't get stunned but others did
anyone else feel like scourge is not rewarding enough for its difficulty?
Increased reservation efficiency is new. It's similar to reduced mana reservation, but doesn't get as ridiculous when you stack it
I had the exact same gem and sold it for 100c
when you do "one more elderslayer" and the map has legion, harvest, and excavation in it
Scourge vacuum when
yo i have a scourged map
that adds -20% Movement speed per tier
what happens if it goes over 100%
u can have negative ms
yeah but i mean
does it literally stop me from moving
or just makes me really slow
is there a minimum ms it cant go below
dont remember if the base ms is 100% or 0%
I like this league, it's a bit mercyless, there's rarely an happy end, I either get too ambitious and die, or get a scourged item giving me the middle finger 😄
Scourge is a monster slaughter at first, then after a good stack of whatever it's called, it's more like a survival challenge :)
not a whole lot going on in the scourge drops but u get map drops and stuff from them
if u juice ur maps and play scourge right u get a good amount of extra stuff
After all it's a kind of hellish world with Demons, I would be disappointed if it was holding my hand
does tainted chromatic reforges the colours and ignores the attribute requirements?
because i feel like it does but im not sure
It does ignore
Any1 having issues with the lootfilter? I've tried updating it in filterblade but the problem persists
It's a thing that happens every so often
it's got nothing to do with the loot filter
It happens with div cards sometimes on my end
its happening a lot now so i figured i'd ask
Took me 22 hours but I finally beat the acts with a 3 link Poisonous Concoction, 17 deaths, lots of league interactions and a temporary lapse in judgement. #1┃general message Link to a screenshot and link to my CURRENT build as of beating Kitava. Fun times
Often it feels like entering into the nightmare is a safety mechanism in some maps, the mobs there being less deadly… until I get upwards of 120 stacks
The map drops from well scourged maps are really good
how do you find scourge bosses? i saw the lightning falling from the sky that indicates one of them, came back and forth around the area and just couldnt find him
pretty annoying
they show up on the map no?
they might spawn out of range for minimap
I just remember the one I got was shown on the full map kinda farish away
yea it was also that stupid map with the layout where u find the ankh for clarissa in act 8
maybe he was in one of the boats
but i checked the ones i could
port?
well, next time i guess
that map bad
yea
any tips on how to not die in scourges? i get regularly deleted without any warningas a raider with 80% eva and 100% spellsuppresion since i started doing t10+ maps
Keep moving
Aka don’t get hit enough to die
At a certain point your stacks are so high that getting hit is going to kill you
Particularly when you have extra dam or turbo map rolls
Anyone have experience playing aurabot or a carry this league? Can't decide between champ aurabot and scion
can you use a divine orb on a militant faith if you need a different templar?
yup
nice that's like 30c cheaper
cheaper if you are lucky
well divines are really cheap right now
my map got "shifts randomly in and out of nightmare", if i keep scourging it does it change?
i hate that modifier
so much backtracking
Hey peeps
Scourged maps are absurd. I'm doing tier 16 maps safely, and I die more often than not doing white/yellow scourged maps, and I don't feel like I'm getting anything for it
Someone want to trade maps for map completion? I am A8. 🙂
Champion gets more aura effect while scio get more passive points
Just starting this league havent played since harvest
The league itself probably isn’t the best, but a lot of the changes that came with it are great
Hey guys, any one can help with poison ? I play poisonius concoction, and idk how yo scale the build, if someone know a streamer, pastbin or just some tips, i'll take ! :)
il try it out. i just kinda stopped playing poe when my guild went softcore.
Think nugiyen is playing one, so check his stream, or the video for the build on zizarans channel
can someone explain to me how im dropping t3 map from t15 map if i have all watchstones ?
Was it a drop from a random monster or was it some kind of league content like metamorph?
map boss
i guess but i cant drop maps atm
run almost 15 maps and this is my only drop
running out of 14-16's
I’d try to get a few “rare nightmare mobs drop maps” scourges
oh good idea
Out of 5 I’ve transformed so far, 2 have had that roll… but I may just be lucky
i guess im madly unlucky with maps
But when I do, it drops a ton of maps
shifted into a roadblock and got stuck couldnt move at all lmao
That’s been happening a lot to me with leap
But I can always leap back out the way I came
Never shifted directly into one
oh man TIL that Typophobia can add a socket to an item and Stitched Wounds can link it in the same transformation
anyone has some lvl gear for a late league starter?
meta predictions change after these few days of testing? Saboteur still the god tier starter?
boys do I start toxic rain or seismic trap?
depends on what looks more fun to you. They are both starter builds
how do u guys use the scourge thing. it sseems to only make junk for me
i just been putting map in there only...
6 socket uniques, u can fuse if it hits good
hmm ok. thanks
New league start at 1:00 am on ps4 EU? I see that on the net but I have the maj now :/
The best use of scourge imo is getting map drops
Kind of a shame Scourge has little to no real reward
hey, i need all these bricks to build a house. it's great!
Look at this fucking joke
Anyone playing Gen cry zerk, with bf?
annyone looking for extras to fill 6 for delivium maps ?
just use an effect that converts fire to another damage type ||this is a joke||
Are the scourge challenges out yet?
So no improvement for scourge upsides?
If not then when
The more I look the worse it seems
All the items I am seeing are either nullified by the downside or the downside is like 10x worse than the benefit of the upside
The keystones on chests are cool tho
weight 10 btw
im stupid how much is 1.4 ex
The issue I have with scourge is that it's just a complicated, lenghty version of vaal orbs
It's just too common to see straight downgrades and objectively useless upgrades
That go beyond build niches
Hey all, do the tainted currencies have a stash tab or affinity?
Ok thank you.
so what number of corruption stacks do you all stop at in a map? seems like more than 70 or so starts to get really hard.
p sure currency values are inflated atm. im raining in currency personally so it makes sense their value is lower
roughly 80 is my cap anything higher and i start to get pretty close to insta dying
that tracks. I went yolo earlier and got to 127.
that was... bad
but I'm at that delightful point where it's still earlyin the league, I'm in maps, I have no currency, and my gear is ass.
Vaal orbs are arguably less risky and more rewarding than scourging an item on average
@lime fractal should be fine
so uh
you know how it says Level 58+ Corruption Absorbed under the meter for how much krangle juice you got on an item?
At least for maps that's uh
not accurate
at all
because I got progress on this bar in Act 1
granted it's not much but still
I think its bugged
does scourging it to tier 2 reset tier 1 ?
What do you mean reset tier 1?
Int he context of maps I've been told that maps tend to keep the mod but most other items in my experience will change
Grimro's advice is if a map doesn't scourge a good mod (like rares drop something you want) then just scourge a different map to t1 vs. taking that to t2
Once you have a map you want scourge it until you don't want to run it
scourging overwrites the previous scourge mods, if that's what u are asking
Can the Scourge reality spawn Beyond
Wow
Hmm, krangles first couple items, nothing like getting +28 int req as a marauder lol
is there suggestion too ggg discord or channel?
POE forums is likely the most direct way. They read reddit too but unless your suggestion has traction in the community it won't be popular enough to be seen.
They listen to bugs moreso than gameplay feedback or other changes, though.
This league is so dumb
LMAO

Well that is bricked
is this league like super poor or is it normal to sell T4 Aisling for 40c?:)
Well how did you get to that conclusion - seems normal to me. https://steamcharts.com/app/238960#7d
I think it could be that scourge league mechanic is just extremely unrewarding unless you do it on high juice and tier
hey, did GGG mention anything about the sound bugs the game currently has ? especially on breach
At high juice/tier the mechanic is super rippy
The “randomly enter nightmare” mod made me miss out on a delirium boss
I genuinely hope Scourge never goes core
Scourge is super rippy for me even on white maps. Surviving the initial clusterbomb of like 100 mobs in your face is difficult.
Ain't gonna talk about the rewards?
Can't get rewards if you can't do the content 🙂
True, yes
I hope next league isn't "OOOOHH LOOK AT ALL THIS MOBS, AND ALL THE MODS THEY HAVE"
my rewards are my stash tabs full of shitty krangles, a sad and pathetic trophy case
I'd rather have a crafting league...
Golden Blood, Anomalous Aura or Stabilising Energy max ?
I'd rather they tone down the packsizes in scourges, but it may just be I chose a bad build for the mechanic. Something like good old ED/cont would be doing better than Storm Brand.
maybe I need an explodey chest, something like that
but it seems like the key is to wipe packs WAY faster
Do maps gain an additional upside/downside modifier at specific scourge tiers vs just making the existing downside stronger or is it random?
Is the Twitch rivals Event today
any guilds for scourge hardcore?
Anyone else keep timing out? When changing zones?
is aspirant plaza down? lmao
got kicked out and can't even go back in
Does anyone know the boss statues? i just found the big purple blobs that denote that Ghorr is around, are there others?
Anyone who can help me run "necropolis" map tier V, I just respeced and need the socket recipe 🙂
The scourged map rewards can be very good
Maps, fossils, catalysts, oils, scarabs, etc on killing nightmare rares
If you can survive it
I struggle in nightmares at 50+ stacks in t10 and up
Imo the damage boost from stacks simply needs to be halved
that is dumb indeed XD
would make sense if it was -1 of an other charge.
Just keep moving?
If you pop V and you get deleted, maybe work on your build?
But white maps tho..
You can only fk it up if you have terrible stats.., what are u running
"keep moving" doesn't really help when it's immediately on entering the nightmare and I'm not moving yet
Storm Brand hiero, fwiw. if I get unlucky and warp into a really dense area, I'm in trouble.
let's not be elitist and assume everyone is facetanking T16 maps 1 week into the league
Ok, let's ask differently: what are you doing to fix your problem?
trying different tactics, like always having a wall at my back to not get surrounded, and laying down all my brands first before entering. Plan is to not use the Cloak of Defiance I normally would for this build, and look into Inpulsa instead to try and blow up packs faster. I know it'll get better with levels and gear, my point is more that the league mechanic is hard to engage with early when you are undergeared.
I guess my main complaint is that you reach a point where you have too many corruption stacks relative to your build strength at the time, so you are faced with just abandoning the mechanic. That doesn't feel good.
I mean, ona super dense map it’s not hard to reach 150+ by the end
That’s a massive dam boost
yeah, I know. Most I've ever survived is 127
Throw on “more” dam map mods like most yellow maps have, and your gonna die if you get stuck in a wall
But like just now, I did a Museum map and popped into the nightmare in a corner of a small room, and the whole room was FILLED with mobs. Just so dense
Not with storm brand, no
Ouch
but honestly... "one shot the whole room instantly or die instantly" is a pretty shitty mechanic
Agreed
I expect this will get better once I get an inpulsa and can get some explosions going
But I hear you, big aoe builds are going to have a better time in scourges
I had a fine time with my cyclone generals cry, but.. it’s also always moving
Brands have to be put on the ground first
But, that said
Given that I screen clear with 1 attack
And still get smashed in nighthmare
I have 40% evasion, 30% spell suppress, 8k armor, 5.3k life + petrified blood, all before jade/quarts flask,
Oh, and 40% attack block and some spell block
Lol
yeah. I may have just chosen a build that doesn't mesh well with the league
Spectres handles it pretty well actually
Mostly because of dps
But you are prone to getting one shot if the mob ever touches you
sounds about right
I'm playing storm brand too and it feels good. Inpulsa's is really strong
crit or EO?
yeah crit as inquisitor
Kill or be killed
just gotta grind for gear upgrades and hope
I feel like there are only specific kinds of mobs that kill you.
The tuning on that screech damage buff helped.
But there are still other mobs. There's a pack of skeleton-archer type mods that delete me if I stop anywhere close to them
Some kind of walking simulator build is probably ideal. I am cold dot but I still have delay between dropping vortexes
this is hilariously ghetto but CWDT+voidsphere sorta works
Getting savior really helped my survivability in nightmares
Having 2 clones running around clearing the screen for me as I leap by
Wonder if there’s some kind of… ignite build that could be linked to a movement skill, just leap through the map, starting the prolif on landing and that clearing
Or bleed/poison etc
Mjolnir build I had a while back kinda felt that way, arc on landing clearing packs
can confirm, slapping on an inpulsa's helped a lot in scourges. seems "aoe any way you can get it" is the name of this league
Hey quick question, what are some decent league starters that people are running?
I'm pretty sure I just found a janky interaction with new fortify
looks like every "fortifying hit" is a separate buff for mantra of flames
That's just a feature
I mean it lets me get hundreds of stacks soooooo
whispers into ear 'Let us enjoy this'
hahahahaha
this is a nerf, it makes the meme tier items go away on reddit
standard issue text krangling, been around forever
Forever this league? Never seen it before.
no, forever forever, it just comes out under strange and unknowable circumstances
@rustic mountain flicker strike slayer build would be fun with that
I already have a build @merry gate and it’s bone shatter with soul thirst 1 minute flasks.
Is there a guide or pob for that? Sounds interesting
Self rolled. Did it last league and have a theory raft
I just started the league today but I did something close enough last league
It can get a couple hundred million dps if you go super dumb with it
And a couple hundred million life rehen
is patch already live?
That sounds incredibly broken.
I’m probably gonna cap out at 30aps on this one and probably not need a brightbeak to do so
No ms
if this works which it should?
Last league I capped at 22m and called it good enough
Granted needs absolutely everything perfect and the I harvested the dude for parts and just kept him farming
@rustic mountain that sounds absolutely insane and fun. Which ascendancy?
yeah its uber legion iirc
maybe some offline drops but regardless that is t0 im pretty sure
juggernaut
for the regen
and taking the 3% es keystone too
since you prevent 90% of boneshatter damage
and use divergent boneshatter
its free real estate
I think I put myself at max 900 trauma stacks if the king engine got roaring
because I didnt want to get multiple mirrors worth of temp chains scaling in there too
this is intriguing but sounds hella expensive
I think the get in cost is <2 ex
the filthy console peasant cost is dumb and I'm not doing it either
The irony of the downside is kinda funny
again, I've done this once but I'm trying something like, 45 degrees off of it
so I might be blowing smoke
trying to figure it out
I don't usually play melee builds but for some reason I'm interested in seeing how this handles scourge content
what I think non crit version will do:
thats assuming you hit 420 trauma stacks
crazy.
the problem with this last league was always the cold start
I'm hoping soulthirst gives me what I need there
does anyone know where I can find info on the delve recipes? I've been to like 20 azrite nodes and not a single recipe
They were moved to maps
just all maps or certain ones?
Check the undiscovered recipes on the crafting bench
Certain maps, just like the other map-found recipes.
ah cool thanks for the help
How are you able to survive having so many trauma stacks?
juggernaut
hard requirement to get 90% PDR
then you use fortify and arctic armor to reduce even further
puts it at like, 6% damage taken?
this one has 5k life 1k es
which if we go backwards means
100k damage in a single phys hit we can live. If we look at lvl 8 boneshatter, thats ~ 75 damage
1300 stacks
if we do 20, thats ~240 damage, and we can tank 416 stacks (so probably no)
you are net positive on regen at 90% PDR with just the unbreakable ascendancy node
and even more ridiculously positive with the ES node
the ES keystone
Divine shield
seems like there would still be a very small window where you take a massive trauma hit where you could get plinked and die before the huge regen kicks in, but maybe that's not really a problem
your regen per second outpaces your trauma per second pretty much always
sec, I'll snip something
no, I was thinking of the "take x damage when you gain trauma" - I assume that's a straight phys hit, not a degen
from someone else:
look at the main hand fire damage and aps
yeah so Unsmith your regen ramps up faster than the trauma will kill you
as long as you arent chunking your whole health
and with the new ES Keystone, you basically have a 0.01 second gap where you are chunked
again, if this works the way its written
I get the theory, yeah. so you intentionally cap your boneshatter at a level where the damage per trauma meets a number of max stacks you're comfortable with
lol DPS overflow
to chunk my health completely you would need 1300 trauma
and I guess to achieve 90% PDR you're going for all the phys reduction you can get your hands on
which means 650 trauma you are chunking half your HP
not really any
I'm using determination cause I can
but endurance charges gets me my PDR
I use determination to just get me an armor value so my ES can regen
cause all my gear is ES gear
(planned)
hm, to get 90% PDR with just endurance charges and jugg, that would have to be 18 charges unless I'm missing another source of PDR
unrelenting + enduring cry + some warcry buff effect
and summon chaos golem, soul of grukthul, and soul of lunaris
ah, I misunderstood as it coming only from endurance charges
sorry it all adds up
yep, I see it. call to arms for instant repeatable cast?
and I guess divergent enduring cry to get the cooldown as low as possible
oh whoops, that doesn't work
mutewind pennant
I'm guessing with a combination of duration and cooldown recovery that you're more or less always under the warcry effect
I am using self curse temp chains too
again, thats the plan, not what I'm currently doing
I'm fresh in league for 3.16
hm... good idea, since IIRC temp chains doesn't affect cooldown. Shackles?
yep
I have one with rotblood too
thinking about that + supreme ego but it's only a 20% more
I don't know why I'm so interested in this, but it sounds awesome
the idea of getting pure 90% PDR is just wacky (to me)
probably, but I suck at theorcrafting so these ideas don't occur to me
with 10 you dont even need the additional 1% PDR ascendancy node
determination armor keeps you at 90% at 100k which is enough
I'm not sure where the 10th endurance charge comes from
oh, death's door... or that, yeah
with that many stacks, you probably don't need any damage mods, all the damage comes from stacking 2% more hundreds of times
honestly the best damage mods are
YUnyielding from asc node
and disciple of the unyielding
all of it gives great BS stuff
more stun -> bigger aoe
increased damageto scale with the mores
yep
heh
or no regen
oh this is the thing you said earlier about mantra of flames
🙂
guess what
each trauma stack counts
I didnt know fortify would
yay double dip
🙂
WAIT THEY COULD HAVE DONE THIS FROM THE START
Should have, even
The trick of the matter, I think, is that it’s not as simple as excluding matching modifier tags
And takes manual cataloguing of relationships between mods
@rustic mountain are you not taking Unstoppable?
I am
trying to suss out which one you're not taking, all seem good for this
I guess Unrelenting can go, and make up the chaos res on gear.
They said in the last post that that was coming later
If only you could actually read the patch notes before complaining
it can't drop this patch
they said they patched it
to not drop something like this
They mentioned it in the announcement beforehand, but it wasn't in the actual patch notes. So I assume something came up and it didn't make the patch.
No, they said that's "another upcoming improvement that we'll deploy next week".
oh great, ppl will loose interest by then
and they'll just blame it on being too rewarding again
I don’t see anything to deal with the rippy part, but at least we’ll get rewarded for it
Is this considered a good scourge for leveling?
Also any clue when new patches will hit consoles?
I tought they fixed it so this cant happen?
opening blight-ravage map = activation failed.. any1 experience this?
are there magicfind builds somewhere? cant find any
my latency going up to 2k+ from 30-40 when i enter scourged maps
is there a fix for that?
your game installed on hdd or ssd?
ssd
i have no problem outside of scourged maps
and it start when i enter.. even before start killing stuff
yeah i tried 3 different
is there any value doing those 4 pale court prophecy chains now?
Rip, maybe wait for a patch idk
anyone of you know good mf builds? 🙂
Ts hh
tornado shot ranger?
Yes TS with a HH
yeah but like to start with
i dont have a hh yet
just wanted to start out but dont find any guide
Mf isnt really a thing
Outside of groups
To find more loot the efficient way is to go faster
Pick a fast build, maybe drop in a bisco collar if you want and go fast
i was playing a blade vortex occultist mf in 3.10 but after then i didnt found any guide to that
hmm maybe gonna try that
Its mainly that mf existed before because it was worth it
Now with most money coming from fixed events
Its all about how many per hour you pop
(Outside of giga juice stuff ofc)
For solo players
im playing a flicker strike currently and i dont have that much currency
cant even fix my resistances somehow because i only get bad items dropped
outside of that i cant really do rewarding content
not that many
cus im running only white maps currently and im only lvl 80
Do the ones you can, they drop really nice rares now
thanks alot man didnt know that hehe
they did previously right?
now you can unveil between 3 mods and craft 1 as i understand
nice thanks mate 🙂
Np
Hey guys, anyone knows how to unlock 3rd map furnace?
There's 3?
I think something is wrong with this league
didnt they change this?
It's not in yet
Not yet
They really should have been clearer about that lmao
Like making it part of a separate post rather than on the same post as actual patch notes
Or even "The above changes are going live, this one will be going live next week"
instead of "We have additional changes planned" with no clear indication that said change was it
Well at least they are addressing it and have a plan 3 days into the league unlike other games that don’t give a fuck
This is a free game, and probably the best value of free games out there because they actually care about us
Blizzard be having server problems since 1982 and their fix is sexually harassing your girlfriend, and you gotta pay them for the privilege.
Does this mean if I don't have 6k life I will insta-rip lol
Hell yeah bro, get wrecked
how do you get flawless breachstones ?
no, it's fire dmg so it counts fire res
1,500 after regular resistance cap
thank you, i was like well shit there goes that map lol
the fire dmg can rise a lot
did one with 12k, seen one with 18k
same on any form of dmg. Can get same on phys dmg too
did one with 6k phys dmg, dmg is rough
There is one mod that deals specifically life damage per second, I forget if it's typed
Hard counter CI and not all that nice for low life either
.2%, and then a flat number per second after
It’s a counter to builds without much recovery
It hurts my build a bit because I rely on recovery for survival
With petrified blood
But so far it hasn’t been… a hard counter
Just an annoyance
Better than the mobs do more dam
Oh i got that mod all the way up to 1200 per second.
I was fine until I ran out of shit to kill. Also a map where I couldn't manually teleport out of nightmare so I either depleted the bar or died. xD
the .2% is on es only. And it's phys dmg so it's managable. The 300 life per sec is deadly to CI and low life yeah. Without leech or high regen you're fucked
300 es per sec exists as well
I just cook maps as far as I can manage the dmg/sec on those. Define what your max is and just stop cooking as soon as it reaches those numbers
Long time player, uber casual and often vocal constructive criticizer on the lack of attention payed to making the game "fun" for all players (especially casuals). ...
and I have to say, I am enjoying Scourge quite a bit. Took a little, but once I made it maps last night, and did a couple it's actually fun.
I don't feel like I am crippled and forgotten as a player with limited time, and no real desire to spend hours and hours farming currency. Our lifetimes are limited, and I've got other priorities.
Simplifying the Atlas was great so far, still progressing but it doesnt feel like such an endless uphill battle.
Scourge maps are cool and interesting, and I don't feel over whelmed like with that one league where we played at tower defense.
Moving recipes out of delve was great, although I miss having access to some of them immediately at the end of Act 10 to help craft some basic resists gear. Mostly talking about 2/3/4 sockets and using that to get the right socket colors on something that has the resists I need. I think it'd be nice to have the 2/3/4 sockets on the tier 1 maps.
Still waiting on more UI, Stash, Maps QOL fixes. There are a lot of things yall could be doing in this space, and shit, I'd even pay for stuff through the store to make it happen. Being able to assign a quad tab as the default for gear, or assign a tab as the default for green gems etc would make organizing things less of a chore.
Lastly, the skill tree updates are great, love the masteries.
anyhow, thanks, the update.
tldr
I got an ilvl 63 quill rain, scourged it twice (so it's Tier 2 at bottom of tooltip), and the bar is max in the crucible, but i can't scourge it again (the Transform button is just greyed out)
Is there a minimum ilvl for Tier 3 scourges?
The gem one would be nice, ability to make any tab gem affinity
After clearing the nightmare part of a map, how to stop auto switching to it on scourge map?
If it's an automap, don't think you can.
Doubt it stops even if you literally kill 100% of scourge monsters.
So I need to spam v for the remaining map?
I wasn't aware you could control when you exit scourge on those types of maps
I was thinking of the one that "shift into nightmare randomly" or whatever
Because it doesn’t decay unless you kill something
And if they’re all dead…
Random one needs to go
It’s so bad
oh yeah im feeling those scourge tier 3 drop buffs now. Behold
the physical-less impale phys bow
im gonna choke
I'm blowing away my personal record for number of deaths this league
I've been stuck at 94 since Tuesday, because I can't resist the "press v to die" button
Scourged maps are pretty good since the change though, even if I die a few times. I've just decided I've stopped caring about XP lol. I ran a rares drop 2 maps on a T15 and walked out with pretty much a full inventory of T15/T16 maps
What I do is skip nightmares when I’m above 50%
Till I level then I spam them again
Also I don't know if you've had a chance to blow up screens of nightmare mobs in a big quant T16 maps around 200 stacks of corruption
But the loot is real
Since the patch
Not t16 yet, but I’ve had some high quant 13’s
Before patch
Haven’t had a chance to do much after the patch
It's way better now. Apparently there was diminishing returns on the quant from the corruption exposure, and they got rid of it
Trying to push up to 92, 89 atm, so kinda skipping a bit on nightmares
Also getting my maven shtuff out of the way
Some of those combos can be rippy
Do I put a 5 linked 6 socket item or whats the best play to place in the thing
I don’t understand the question
6 links are better than 5, ?
But 5 links are good
question for anyone who might have an answer, is there a good place to get an overview of how the league is going/what builds are popular/what is the general feel? i dont really want to scroll through pages of reddit. just had my first kid a few weeks ago and havent really had time to look things up, debating about whether i should try scourge or not
Can at least look at builds on ninja
Take a look on Zizaran's youtube channel, short videos (10 min ~) with a lot of information
easily understandable, he landed some pretty dope starters too
V is faster portal

Faster portal is faster portal
thanks! 👍
damn this league loves crashing
I was super stoked about the tornado skill this league. Turns out, 3 people on poe.ninja are using it. What a shitshow :/
Honestly doesn’t look great even in the introduction video
It’s slow
You have to put it up, then grow it,
The buffs are nuts
You can only have 1 active,
Idk what ggg was thinking
At 200 stacks in a 100 Quant map
Before you'd be at 300 quant
Now ur at 5250 Quant

But on the other once you can deal with the risk…
I’d rather they had gone in the opposite direction
Reduce the risk
Getting 1shot by things that cross the screen in a half second is… a bit much
poe.ninja is not necessarily a good spot to see new skills, it's comprised in significant part of the people speedrunning the game by sticking to tried and true strategies
tornado is good but it requires you to spend time pressing buttons and thinking about breakpoints that you could be spending turboing to high level maps
Isn't tornado a secondary skill anyways
I have it in a 3l and it's noticeably boosted my boss dps, it's nice
Does Alternate History (crucible skill) just mean you can scourge uniques, or does it mean you have a chance of turning a non-unique base into a unique?
The former
I wish they added synthesis to core instead of expedition
I miss synthesis and build a map fun.
Synth coming back at some point would be neat
It doesn't fit current poe genre! Ignore the wandering between dimension beings, time travel, a bored female interstellar boss, etc
Buuuuuuut I also think that determine crafting like harvest and others should be REALLY outrageous.
For this league though, leveling compared to expedition was better. Using the league mechanic wasn't a chore, it felt like a rush.
I just feel they should have waited one season to put expedition in. Give everyone a visual and audio break.
I wonder if I wouldn't prefer synth's ability to manipulate implicits over harvest
I didn't play the league but it looked like it was deterministic, it was just an obtuse mess. Like any other crafting.
But a site could solve that. Plug in the implicit you want, it will tell you what fractured items you need.
i have to post this here, i legit loled, this isn't mine. he tried to sell it to me right before tier 3 scourge
Did you enjoy the new changes for the scourge mechanichs so far guys ?
I still feel like the risk/time invested isnt worth the rewards
Most say the same thing. Not worth it
Hello peeps. Does anyone know if breach gets juiced by shifting into nightmare realm?
totally worth it if you get super lucky and get an OP scourge
