good chance every stream on the poe directory is doing a league start
Ah okay... I wasn't sure if they didn't bother streaming until maps or something. 👍
i mean they reach map in 4-6 hour soo
Yeah, that's what I want to see... it usually takes me a few weeks to get around to maps. 😅
https://poedb.tw/us/Forbidden_Flame#SpecialPassive scion and maurauder special ascendancies are on poedb
you play 1h every 2 days ?
Usually more like 5 or 6 hours once a week or so.
And I hate leaving any part of a map unrevealed... 😬
well 10-12h is a normal time for your kind of player
well you like wasting time
its not by watching streamer you will improve
Oh, I think I will...
it wont change anything if you keep trying to reveal any part of the map
Like, do they just run through mobs without bothering to kill every last monster?
thats your major issue probably
Probably.
yeah ofcourse thats what they do
I just don't want to miss any rare drops, but then again it's probably better to skip the stuff at the beginning and get to the good stuff at the end.
you shouldnt try to kill every monster
its act , you wont miss rare drop
you normally want to stay 1-2 lvl under the lvl of the zone
I always tried to get as much XP before going on to the next level, so I would kill everything.
Ah yeah, I try to stay 4 or 5 above so I don't die as often.
that how you should not play poe
Didn't make sense to deliberately allow the monsters be more powerful than me.
well if you dont change that kind of behavior will playing , dont expect to improve how fast you do act
After all, I see streamers blasting through huge mobs, therefore they must be much more powerful, and therefore their level must be much higher.
you are doing everything that can be wrong to be slow
Right, which is why I want to watch how others do it.
I already figured it ends up being net faster to race ahead.
they are that stronger , they just use the right skill with the right support
they are also underlvl
they never tell us where they loot
player need to find
dont watch quin
there is zazaran , mathil , alkaizer , steelmage , bob ( ligthee) that will be top streamer
isnt he ben not bob
Ghazzy and Pohx are also pretty popular
yeah too but they always play the same specific build
pohx is always RF and ghazzy almost always minion
and the rest is dd this time i feel like
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Just play SSF and you'll learn it quick
Yeah, I just picked Zizaran's stream since he's the first name I recognized on the list.
i like ziz a lot , some people cant stand his voice tho
Keep in mind that ziz plays SSFHC
I don't do that much trading, so I'm essentially SSF anyway. Not HC, though. 😄
its even a better exemple of what to do while lvling
Power beta.
so his choices aren't exactly the same choices other, softcore streamers would do, in terms of under-levelling.
Have any content creators made a Sentinal in a nutshell video yet? I'm late to the party and it seems complex 😄
if you want speedy, zoom zoom levelling, tytykiller and tie23he are good ones to take notes from.
Ahh, that's fair
fk my net died i was at 22k
well good news, you only gained 4k or so xD
no im at 36k now
What's your current queue place?
Oof
so you lost 2 min
ill just go to sleep wake up tomorrow and wait no queue
Just bought a supporter pack and got 300 point, want to spend half on a portal skin, any recomendations?
Is the league mechanic available in standard
If it was, there'd be no point for leagues
no
Dang that means means i have to go through the acts again
you know 36 is like max 10 min ?
Not even that, prob less then 5 minutes, queue length doesn't really matter anymore
I always wondered having never played them but do trap builds like Seismic suffer a lot on map clear? I know people tend to take it for early league bossing
I'm looking forward to this league. I took a couple years off 😀
Spectral Helix, RF inquisitor or shockwave cycle slayer ? what do you think will be best choice from those 3 and why ? does those build have big difference in damage ?
rf cuz i play it
I always wanted to try RF as well but never got around to it
Woo my position in queue is 46210
rf is cool but i am not sure how good it is now
15 MIN ... YEET
Didn’t they do like no balance changes
i havent played half year so idk
Well RF was pretty nice last league and is toted as a decent starter this league
35020 in Q
so it has damage+good satrter ?
I'm going with Storm brand inquisitor, looked good on paper.
Yeah good damage on a budget so I hear
what about killing bosses with rf ?
Not sure I imagine it’s curse with flammability and hit them with flame surge
I'm getting older and my reactions slower so RF has sounded nice before just to have a few less buttons to press
You’ll have to look into it yourself I’m not sure since I haven’t played it in a long time
I think RF is known to be slow on bosses but can still do them
But that's good enough in my books
mm okay thank you guys for info
Personally I’m probably starting hexblast
havent heared of that yet
hello is the ziz ea champion build fun? also do i just download a generic loot filter from the site? idk much about these things just wanna play 😄
looks like fun build
Is it fun? Well most people swap off the build after getting currency id say it probably gets stale but is pretty good
That's the reason why the last two leagues I started Skeletons
you could scale them all the way into end game
You can
but I can't stomach three leagues in a row of the same build
so something else this time
Of course half the people are gonna be starting skeletons
gl boys
And the other half ea
boooring 😄
im going ls to the end
what ea stands for ?
I might just go EA, I imagine it will be expensive but people loved it and it would be new to me..though maybe too similar to skeletons, Totems are really just another form of minion
well i will maybe got for shockwave cyclone slayer
or spectral helix
not sure
With ea totems you still have to attack
ea champ or elementalist?
thats the build im doing plus the totem
Algum BR querendo começar liga?
nevermind i will go for cyclone 😄 ez and fun
Good luck friend
hmm well that convinces me Lucille I'll try out EA this league
Yeah I’m hoping you like it
what's up, anything special going on?
League starting in two mins
hehe, I forgot to get in line, so for me it might be a lot longer
the good think about having no skill is that it doesn't matter much when I start or how fast I level
lets go
but I'm not doing a summoner for once, so it will be interesting
Q IS MOVING
only 40,000 more to go and I'm in!!
boutta be my first league start
rdy for the dc after 10 minutes?
goodluck hf~
I KNOW I AM
lol, yeah, time for DC frustration!
at league start, last league, yeah
guys whats the best bow build for bosses
Anyone else queue not moving? 😦
my Q is moving
with currency tornado shot
mine is stuck still....
ayoo woke up and saw new league!!! thought it'd be next month 😂
filterblade.xyz is a virus!
from 8k queue to 42k....GG
Skill issue
😂 there's not just a queue to enter realm, but also a queue to login
just completed the campaign, y'all still in queue?
there is queue to join realm!?
Is anyone else getting disconnected when identifying items?
yes
Awww yes, first crash B)
always the same, I'll probably try here in 3-4 hours once the initial surge has died down a bit
thank god i left my girlfriend to play the league, was worth it.
Lol
Anyone know what build to follow for starting skeletons? I've never done minion build might try this time
Kay's seems to have the most views
Kay is decent, if you are going skelly mages von vikton is the guy
you can also safely crib from https://poe.ninja/archnemesis/builds?class=Necromancer&item=Dead-Reckoning&skill=Summon-Skeletons&heatmap for a starting tree and gem list. it's pretty predictable
be warned that the jewels will probably be expensive early on, and availability for Ashes of the Stars is a question mark
dead game? never seen discord so dead
Hmm what else is gunna be good aside from EA
This is some special logic
People actually playing the league that launched 30 mins ago and not on discord = dead game lmao
people have said "ded game" for the last year, it's just something they do
Pog my first crash of the league
i'm stuck with first quest with dying exile, click on it and nothing happens, npc remain with quest to take. i'm the only one? can i do something?
did you forget to equip your starting weapon
damn, thanks
the game will, in fact, not let your defenceless face get eaten by a zombie
so how about those arch nemesis mods on magic monsters early on? Feels great right?!
tbh change is good but they probably should of waited to introduce arch-nemesis until after act 1 at least.
and what, just give you normal monsters only through act 1?
the old magic/rare mods are gone. archnem mods are the way
anyone know why my loot filter is unable to parse? ive saved, loaded, synced updated, waited 10 minutes
oh. in that case yikes. They should of kept the old system for act 1. And transition to the new one in act 2 and beyond so your at least capable of defending yourself.
the power increase likely isn't bad once you have some type of gear and skills
what, and have completely unique modifiers in act 1 that you never see anywhere else? 👎
I mean, its better then whats happening currently
current experience is the the oppisite of fun. It was funny the first 2 deaths.
Mildly subjective
fun is always subjective.
there really is no metric for it
but i do have a hard time imagining anyone beyond the elite finding this experience fun.
So is there a way to get uniques like last league tabula on a1?
what's the meta this league, was going to go some kinda ownage
I just got run down by a Rhoa moving at light speed in the graveyard, imagine this on HC
When my sentinel is "drained" do i just throw it out..=?
Literally the exact same as last league
Or hold onto it to combine with another one to get a brand new one
Oh okay.. are they rare? only found 1 yet :/
Everything is difficult to find early on, keep going and they should start dropping a lot more
Okay, thanks alot!
fucking light bulb
guys can someone tell me why i can't suddenly use splitting steel anymore
isocketed onslaught and chance to bleed with it and i just cant
i can use the call back version tho
oh, requires a sword or axe xd
Hey brohers !
I fired up PoE for the occasion, and i was wondering if this build could make it
Incredibly strong league starter build with great clearing as well as very solid end-game bossing capabilities. Updated for 3.18 Sentinel League!
If you guys have any suggestions of what build i should go for i'm totally open
theres better spells i think but spell totems is a strong option
Alright, you spoke of spells what do you suggest ?
I saw absolution guides here and there
Strongest Spell Totem builds to start/play in Sentinel 3.18 league. Flameblast, Storm Burst and Ball Lightning Totems are the best choices imo. Flameblast got significant damage and qol buffs, Storm Burst can benefit from new Divine Blessing Support very well, and Ball Lightning - simply the strongest spell overall.
Builds were made for 3.17 pat...
saw this posted here recently
thanks man
ice spear is strong but it leverages crit damage a lot, which takes a while to get
It's childish but with using builds like that could i still use void sphere somewhere ?
i'm really fond of stupid spells for trials league i used ice shards it was so funny
i think u can use it however u want its a utility skill
can put onslaught support on it
oh i think if u wanted to use that ice spear guide
u can basically follow it using freezing pulse instead
oh
fair enough
then later u can go ice spear for dmg
yeah we'll see, i'm just looking for a room wiper like that good ol ice shards
wait its not ice shards
what was it
i believe this guy is a server member
FYI sentinel buffs are snapshotted on captured beasts
I want to play a brand build for bossing, how doomed am I
arma is a top racing skill
Anyone else getting their ass clapped
Heh, did Zizaran just die? I stepped away for a few minutes, and came back to his character having no inventory.
Ah, yep.
Doedre bugged?
hmm
Like a tambourine
Nice
"Place a filament in sentinel controller" what does that even mean?
Leveling up the sentinel tree
Yeah i was waiting for a filament to drop
I got it the other way around, I used my sentinel on Merveil and it gave me the one for killing her but not for having the Sentinel on her
i didnt even kill her, i killed her daughter
weird
Is anyone else finding nearly no Sentinels? I've just hit Innocence fight and I've seen 2
have you not been finding sentinel caches in areas?
anyone's timer running out before sentinel charges do?
i had like 10 drops and im in act4.
How do you charge a sentinel?
You don't! Once they're out, you can use a power core to recombine them into a new one, or just toss them. Recombining may preserve some of their mods.
Anyone know what this means?
faster leveling on the sentinel passives i gues
What bow build are viable for this season other than ice , lightning and explosive shot
mirror image, infested earth, vile hatchery, arcane buffer. something abut this combo causes the monster to bug out and not take damage, but then split all the time.
first fuse turned out to be pretty decent, it shit out 2 five links in first use lol
Anyone else crash on entering control blocks over and over?
didnt have that problem no
Raise a glass for me brothers, I have to work through the night at the hospital 🏥
At least I made it to act six before I had to go
new rare mods really taking their toll huh?
Did they make any changes to act 3 difficulty like they did with act 1 and 2 the previous leagues?
I am really frustrated with these freeze mobs
dont get freeze then ?
when do you unlock the second sentinel?
By pathing to certain nodes on the Sentinel Controller. It isn't a specific level or whatnot
gotcha i see it
every fucking mob is freeze and bleed i just cant fucking handle it
6am here in uk and im stuck in act 9
Toxic Rain is a perennial good pick.
Is anyone else getting one shot in low maps by spells?
My res is capped, I can't figure out why
Rare monsters in low level areas that are so fast you can’t get enough distance to do damage without getting hit… neat.
honestly I dont mind such a difficult league start every league and then it getting tuned after a weekend/week. I would love to do gauntlet stuff if it wasnt hardcore
thoughts on converting an ex to chaos tomorrow to get my build online since it requires uniques? Sounds like they hit peak in 2 weeks, but I'm willing to take a hit in order to get online sooner
Havent played in yeaaarrss, certainly never dropped an ex in act 3 before lmao
Where can I access the sentinel crafing? 🤔
I havent had a chance to play yet. Is the new league any good?
currently, if you liked last league but wanted it to be way more difficult, then yes.
doing the combining? you right click the power core and that brings up the window
Oh, got it thanks.
so, i went to sleep for about 9 hours and woke up, how's the league mechanic?
it's a bit hard to consider Sentinel empowering when people are getting crushed by archnemesis mods
mechanically easy, decent rewards
anyone else crashing when activating sentinels?
It feels like a bit of a bad move to create a bunch of difficulty spikes that bounce people off on the first weekend
maybe i just havent played this league for long enough but
how long does it take to get your second sentinel, cant seem to find a second one, and first is out of power
keep crashing when enter control blocks, can enter hideout and other areas any ideas?
nm guess it timed out finally ddint crash and aborted instance
some of this rare mods are very strange
So how are we about mobs now? Still overtuned or acceptable?
i died 26 times when i hit tier3 map 2 of them is combo Flameweaver + flame strider that just blink to my face
so still a bit wierd yea
New League in 1 picture
Immortal... Is this legit??
how many hp and dps i should have on abso skill at act 5?
i have 1200 hp and 3720 dps on absolution, its enoufh? res are 50 everywhere
what gems to use for leveling RF inquisitor ?
I'm thinking about starting with storm brand. Should I start as hiero or occult?
Is anyone having issues with POB? I keep getting Error 503 and no link wants to work
so DD is kinda the playstyle of blast rain
how do i activate this node ? i have 2 power units ready but cant click on it
I play rf inquisitor. what level should vutality gem be ?
i heared someone said stop at lv15
there's no hard rule for when to stop. Stop when you don't have enough mana to cast other things.
what if i overlevel it ?
sell it with scouring orb to reduce the level by 1 or buy a new one
Revert the rares back, let us have fun
Gosh that’s cursed
yeah every single mob is ruining the game for me
i can barely play the stupid campaign without dying multiple times every act with capped res and good defenses
any good controller layout?
why is it legal?
mana siphoner+haste+etc too?
Is there a fix to the can't enter other players hideout yet?
Why tf does spirit offering consume your zombies now
made them count as corpses with aukuna's will?
Nope.. The only unique in my build so far is Fleshcrafter.
It literally just started deleting them today.
oh that's not them getting consumed
with fleshcrafter, spirit offering's Grants Minions +(20–30)% to Chaos Resistance is making them convert 100% of their life into ES
this kills the zombie
yeah i didnt spec that yet
anyone playing DD? can someone help me new with the build
Im I the only one that feels its really hars to have GRASPING VINES not go away with leapslam and whirling blades ? i feel like every time i meet a magic or rare that have this mod, its just death if i get 10 stacks
I’m just starting DD, would recommend watching DS_lily and Zizaran’s guides. for levelling look up lily’s spark levelling guide for witch
anyone else crashing in Jun Missions specifically in Research? i crashed twice in there already
im already in maps but it feels too weak thats why,
maybe someone in build planning/fixing can help
does anyone else feel like they're playing a buffed up version nof dialbo 3 now
sentinel league = resident sleeper
even with nerfs to magic/rare mobs its still pretty boring
How much did the patch help? Still rippy af?
feels rippaf
giving every mob an archnemesis mod seems dumb af, and shoudl be rolled on maps
archnemesis mods need to be removed from the game and looked at, hard
i think they just need to be tuned down
game is near unplayable
by like 75%
tuning down modifiers is fruitless if they still have the ability to make (most) builds null and void
the toxic one that has like 90 little chaos orbs hunting you down
they should take out anything that nulls
players are legit forced to make HC-style builds just to survive maps
invulnerable hsould be removed
in SC
Is there a decent herald of agony starter?
not sure
so, playing a spectral helix, got a 270edps claw on 5link with working trinity, 3 time ascended, 4500hp, 75allres, 50% spellsup and still struggle in white 0mods t1-2 maps. yeah this league is fiiiine
herald of agony starts itself
so, it looks like the reaper thing from the new supporter pack is always showing up? i saw a big reaper in town and it just hanging there
Has any streamer made it to ubers yet?
anyone posting good sentinel controller builds
everyone too scared of rares to be spending too much time empowering them even more with sentinels
Having a blast in ssf
yo honestly these arch nemesis mods can fuck right off
Indeed 😦
minion build in maps - there is some fucking combo that completely deletes my minions in few seconds
Anyone else having issues with NO BLIGHT MAPS dropping - ive got all the blight nodes on atlas - using blight scarabs - and i have had 1 blight map drop in 55 toxic sewer runs .. used to be every 3 or 3 maps i got blights
also if you do ritual and few rares survive, they start stacking their nonsense and you are deleted (ur mobs) too
LOL that's so fucked
it really is
This league's just wild lmao.
Reminds me of 1.x balancing, invasion or sth. Just get fricked by random mobs 3 screens away. Counterplay? Come back in 3 leagues 
on a tier 1 map 
Are the sentinel combinations totally random? If not, is anybody already working on cataloguing them?
they are random
and when you get something that disables your life regen entirly as an inqusitor you can just strait up leave the map
like Executioner
its fun cause the wiki says something completly different from the actual effect
I'm asking about the sentinels, not the rare mob affixes.
ah okay
What's a sentinel? This is archnemesis league
The extra chain passives don't let me empower more enemies than the sentinel says it can, does it?
Just skipped league, not a game for me anymore - in current state anyway.
f for simon_f
I'm just going to farm easy maps for the weekend and see what they do about rare mob balance. I think the league has potential
I honestly don't even mind the new rares in "base" content. It's only when it overlaps with other league content like abyss/heist/incursion/etc
That is becomes totally unreasonable
heist in particular is super fucked
anyone know if our sentinels stack with other players?
When i was playing with duo our sentinels seemed to not proc on the same mobs
I believe we all deserve 1000 points if we made it through today without having a stroke
It was same sentinel i think, cuz we only found 1 yellow. Only made it to act 5
alright cool
Why would anyone take this node?
This one is for the masochist players
They said modifiers were affecting quant/rarity of mobs, so more mods is more loot in some capacity
so whats the basic TL:DR of league mechanics? so far i've just been summoning sentinel when i get to boss or rare
how are 71k people still playing 🤣 people must be desperately bored
hopefully player count is at 50k by monday
lol, im turning off ritual, this is horrendous
Anyone elses game super stuttery?
Not sure why you'd hope that.
only had it on 2 maps so far
went away when i relogged
It feels like archnemesis negatively impacts rarity/quantity. I killed a 4 mod rare earlier and got 4 whites and a blue, does not make sense
Easily top 3 worst leagues ever, delete this league and go back to the drawing board
i dont know a single regular poe player who likes this league right now none zero
Just wait for 3.19 with Uber Nemesis. Which then replaces AN rares in 3.20
only 70 deaths so far
3.20 : a sword hangs a over you and every second you have a 1/10000 chance to just die
If nobody liked this league then there wouldn't be that many players
Yeah good point
It’s mainly the rares I see people complaining about tbh
Sentinel is a good mechanic. AN is shit
The league mech itself is maybe a bit overturned but a lot of people are still gearing their builds to be functional
I like the idea of the rares, I want them to actually be threatening
But the build-disabling ones shouldn't really exist
They should be weaker than bosses and drop relative to their difficulty. That are rpg base principles

Yeah, and most bosses are too easy right now
shh Chris might hear you
I do think they should be tougher but I'm sure people are gonna be mad at the idea of anything being difficult in this game
I think the difficulty curve could be smoother
The later act bosses are kinda a faceroll
I’ve found that act 3 and beyond the bosses just aren’t threatening anymore
The act/campaign should be for beginners anyways.
act one has no reason to be as challenging as it is
The reward just doesnt match the risk, at all. I am literally killing rares that drop nothing, this doesnt make any sense to me, someone has to have moved a decimal place or something
Act two seems pretty reasonable tbh
i just killed a rare in BA, 2 mods, no sent empowerment, dropped literally 0 items
As if anyone of us wants to have a harder time in the pre map phase 🤡
not 0 unfiltered items, 0 items
I just want a smoother gearing experience on league start for acts
it is not unrealistic to get into act 4 with a two link still
source: it happened to me two leagues ago
Ye... The easiest might be for them to invite the idk family members to test-play for them. Rn it feels like everything was made to give the best players a challenge (with the only reward being no xp loss, lol) and everyone less good is trying stuff for a week and quits
Not a fan of the Timer on the sentinels.... Should just use all their charges then expire...
poor play testing isn't the problem with POE, it's overbearing game designers
it doesn't matter if the play testers say the new modifiers are garbage when the bosses say "yeah, they're supposed to be"
anyone with broken neversink filter text?
just tried a few variants from site all broken for me in client, old filters and GGG ones working fine
is blade vortex a good starte build this league?
id say so, theres some good guides out there for it for this league - specifically this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqmhQtO-XoE
i was doing an assasin now i noticed that maybe ocultits is better ty
assassin version is usually higher budget playing as fire BV - theres some guides on that ass well but Ele version can definitely clear all endgame on a lower budget until you can transition to Occultist or Fire BV Assassin etc
niceee ty so much
Am I making a mistake by trying to make a non meta skill work this league?
Rares are severely overtuned for the story. You can do any skill, but you'll need atleast purity of elements + determination in your build.
i spent like 5 minutes trying to kill a gargantaun hasted assassin rhoa at the end of a delve and just gave up and killedm yself cos it was taking too long, after reading the list of modifier effects i realise he had 100% increased evasion rating AND blind on hit AND 40% increased max life, true pain
is firestorm still a bad skill?
My build is comfortably doing like 1.5M so far and I literally have had rare bosses in T1 maps be much stronger than any of the bosses so far.
Annoying thing is when it is at the end of a delve encounter so you can't even skip it, I was looking forward to all the loot from sentinel boosting everything and I just ended up suiciding because the rhoa would take like 10 minutes to kill
Mine are all scrambled letters on a lot of items. Same where my GGG filters work fine.
This is a known game engine bug. It's not caused by the item filter, sometimes the game just fucks up the letters for one particular size/style of a font. Restart the game and it'll be fine
got my ass handed to me in white maps, these archnem rares aren't a joke
Okay so I am not alone, my friends in game have no issues with their neversink filters, so strange lol
why did they change the archnemesis mods, they seemed fine when i played during launch
was it Reddit crying?
I think it was steamcharts that was crying =V
they were pretty shit lol
so are unique sentinels useless after they are completely used
cause they nerfed it twice and its still busted
idk what kind of darkee 2 hour act 10 speedrun tester was like "yeah this is fine" but they need to chill !
I think you can reroll two of them in to new one
hey all, wondering shud i throw away sentinels when charges are used up?
you can squish sentinels together with a power core currency, that's how you get use out of ones that have used up charges
cheers 😊 when does that unlock.. towards maps?
Sentinel caches have them fairly often, but if you're blazing through the zones, you might miss those
I am ok with the new rares, but there is nothing exciting about them and non of it feels like fun, on top of the boring new league mechanic I don't feel excited enough to continue playing sadly. Was looking forward to the new league
Sentinels themselves feel weird, because there is always a possibility of encountering a rare that will then brick the whole map
It doesn't feel like a challenge either because it's really binary - you either can kill it or you cannot
Mechanical challenges don't work in a game like PoE anyway, since it's mostly a numbers game
hello, how can i make this yellow and have 2greens and 2 red sockets 😄 https://i.gyazo.com/f4a236d4b1e84622e2ed3190cd8d6445.png
Weirdest takes are coming out due to the rare changes. It's objectively better for visibility, but could be tweaked, which they are... But as usual no one has any kind of patience. We're on a 3 month (huge) patch schedule, and I'll take the tweaks at the start of the league over a less funded game for sure.
How is it better for visibility? There are no UI changes to actually tell you what the mods are. I play tested it on Standard and they feel the same as ever.
By looking at the mobs, as well as the effects they use? I don't play HC so I don't need to look at the names of them, but the mobs themselves look different
Some mods do have a visual effect, but it mostly gets lost in the visual cluster f that is poe
When leveling and going at snail pace yeah, but with a bunch of effects all around in the end game it's impossible to tell
And most mods are not visually distinct enough
whatever you say
Looking at the mob how? By hovering over it? There is literally no other way to see the mod list
only some effects are actually identifiable at a glance
Chasing a hasted mob with a cursor is just nuts
If PoE was slower, did not promote skills that generate a million projectiles and explosions on screen and had more distinct visual effects than yeah
Not going to argue btw, just had a temporary flaw of character of being annoyed by the massive whine that's been going on
With the current state of the game the new mods just don't work, they feel like they were taken from an entirely different game and shoehorned into
Well yeah whining is annoying, but it seems to be the only way to get the point across to GGG. The biggest sin of this change is purely that it's boring and not engaging
Yeah it's harder, but not in a fun way
It's not that you shouldn't critique, it's in the manner you do it 🙂
You don't
have to proclaim to quit in this discord e.g.
just quit - GGG will see it in their stats.
Just wanted to see if others find it fun
what was the currency name of the item you need to merge sentinels? my tabs are a bit of a mess 😛
Yeah, I think all of them have "power core" and different prefixes to that
I think they mostly drop from the sentinel boxes you find in areas
they aren't in every area tho, and while leveling you'll not see that many as you don't usually fully clear a zone
alright
is anyone getting those combiner things for the sentinels? im half way through act 8 and i haven't had one drop yet?
are they really so rare?
Think I got around 5 while leveling, maybe you've just been unlucky
mate, i've been super unlucky from the start its ridiculous lol
so what is the general consensus of atlas passives? essence & strongbox or what are people running

Consecrated Ground grants 2% Life Regenerated Per Second to Allies and 50% reduced Effect of Curses
Am I just blind or does consecrator not make them immune to curses, not merely 50% reduced effect?
what's going on with dead reckoning prices and arakaali's fang price
Turns out was I just blind (and stupid - wasn't hitting my curse key most of the time)
is 30 the cap for the sentinel controller or will you be able to fill the entire tree?
it's capped
are the some "best" version of it?
It seems to be best to focus on red + blue or red + yellow instead of going all 3. I think Grimro already made a video on it as well.
2 of the most popular minion builds, and the fact there was no new gems or tree adjustments means people know they’re still strong and that bumps the prices upwards
what is wrong with the fuckin flying orbs damage? why does everything oneshot me with 75% resistances
they fly above my head and explode after 1 sec or something, they are green, will try to take a screenshot
That is the single best Archbenesis mod. Makes chaos res super important
ahh i see, no bueno with -52% chaos res then :p ty
"there is a thing I can't one shot off screen, this league is not fun" - everyone
There is a thing that one shots me off screen, league is not fun
oh and a thing that spawn camps me
Is anyone not getting Forgotten Reliquaries to spawn in their labs? I'm on my second lab, and the spot it should spawn in is empty
The game has gotten unplayable for me with crashes
10+ upon getting to act 7, 1 up until then
Seems like a switch was turned on in act 7 because this didn't happen yesterday
Man after looking at some of the sentinel archnemesis mods, idk how they thought the modifiers would be okay to stack
Uffff
Anyone have any decent builds for the Sentinel Controller?
got my first ex at like lvl 48 in the sent league. Am i better off selling it for chaos this early or keeping?
If your build is working, hold onto it. It’ll gain value
anyone got a good cyclone shockwave build for champ?
Clean 😎
ditto in first lab
It's on the known issues list 😦
i... what
Anyone else here “upgrade” their mtx after ascendancies/boss kills XD
Is this what makes eater of worlds "uber"?
most guides said lvl with absolution then switch
yeah just didnt realize id have to lvl to 80
is cyclone slayer phys impale starforge/terminus good this league?
nothing changed for most builds
but is it still a good build or much better alternatives now
live by the meta, die by the meta
people are playing shockwave cyclone
ggg will fix this league or already rip?
mapping got easier
double that and maybe 30k armour and you gucci
i doing t1 maps
and still getting one shot
last league i did t16 map without chest and never get one shot
i think only u 2 are still playing the rest already quit
sus
but this reminds me i need to upgrade my shield
damn the trade site is overloaded 😂
I ran 4.5k life 1k energy shield with grace last league and hardly ever got oneshot
Life and es on kill if you can find it really help
plus leech of course
Just because you have 1k es and 4k hp I already know you're not an experienced player, with just 4k hp I did all the endgame content of the last league and barely died
have hp or es, not both
you can get that 1k ES from just scaling off hp or some random unique, you dont have to gear for it
^
It was coincidental, I didn't scale it at all
the es on kill was from shadow area pathing nodes
Plus don't RF builds go hybrid? You didn't need to be so condescending
they often go either or, but all hp nodes around longneck boi have % ES
I tried going with EA Ballista this league but might re-roll, never felt this squishy before
mine feels pretty squish too, trying to fix my gear atm, but i run skelly mages
Debating just making a endless heist specialized character and no Lifeing it for a few days in there
im keeping mine in the mines until i get decent gear
So, I decided to league start with Subtractem's Bane Occultist build, but I'm beginning to think that was a mistake with the current league. I'm debating starting a new build because I'm not sure if this one is gonna be any fun when I get to endgame. Or even to Act 9 for that matter.
You could reroll into Poison Concoction occultist
That's what I'm running and it's a breeze
assuming you don't mind the playstyle
From what I'm seeing a lot of builds are struggling in acts right now but smooth out once you are in endgame
I wonder how poison concoction does in heist
Probably pretty well, especially with a despair + blasphemy + plague bearer setup
curse and damage nearby, trigger pops, easy money
i actually got a new record this league
but i struggled in maps until i got the gear
I've done Poison Concoction before and it's not bad at all.
Plus gearing PC costs like 25 alterations hah
Hell I think I'll try it, at least farm said heist and stuff until I have the currency to build up EA
It's a blast, I played it all 3 months last league from start to finish
Holds up extremely well for the budget
hmm, how did it scale into the end game? one thing I hear about it is that it starts to suffer damage drop up quite heavily at T16
I was oneshotting packs and killing rares in a few seconds running T16 last league
Most expensive item was an impresence for despair I think
I could link the character
Well that sells me then, any specific person I should look at for a build guide?
You could find videos on it but I just made my own - I could find you a video that would end up better than mine for sure

I'll give it a look over, thanks!
Ignore the levelling trees, those are outdated
anyone wanna map?
I was thinking this too, ghost dance is a must grab if you're anywhere in the area
and if you can get eldtrich battery too, you can save a bunch of gem links that'd be going to lifetap
then you can convert it back into ehp w/ MoM
it's got so much potential
pcoc is a lot of fun but in my (limited) experience it takes a while and a fair bit of dot multi/gem levels before pinnacle bosses feel comfortable to kill. they might not feel that deadly but I felt every second of the 5+ minutes it took to kill them
Yeah it's definitely not a bosser
But for stuff like heist and map clearing it's really nice imo
I struggled to kill the eldritch bosses on my first go though
my idea is that I'll have the "geared" Ballista's when I want to do bossing
and use Pcoc for heist/currency farming
I had the same idea, to use a maw of mischief build I saw for bosses if I want to do that
Anyone else got one of these?
If so could you compare the auras and tell me whether they are different?
This seems insane if you want a temporary power boost for bosses or something similar.
Bruv moment
Its pretty good
Should def sell it
or at least save it for uber bosses
any creators made an optimized sentinel controller yet?
Double corrupt it
10c is 10c, otherwise you can just save them if you wanna level something later
ill buy them for 10c
yay, first exarch and hunger kill for the league
does anyone have information on an updated aurabot guardian build.
i have restarted like 3 times trying to find a fun build
right now im doing spectral helix but seems clunky but maybe cause im still lower level
do you guys time when to deploy sentinels or just deploy them whenever and forget?
when I finally have a real setup for them I’ll pop them when I see a strongbox/shrine or some other additional pack mechanic.
right now it’s just whenever
It is clunky but very good. It nostalgic as a old d2 hammerdin player
def
i might not take it the distance tho im trying diff builds out i like something a lil more fasst paced
ritous fire seems cool
Im playing support, my carry hopped off. anyone wanna run together 🙂 ?
well.. this came alot faster than expected
anyone know what this error means? vk:device::waitforfences I keep crashing and cant play
probably a Vulkan thing? update GFX driver, then try a different renderer gfx option in client next
Ummmm... Latest patch removed my entire body? This is weird af.
Could someone give me tips on the most efficient way to farm for a Tabula? Relatively new to the game and not sure if getting multiple characters to level 8 in twilight strand is the most efficient way aside from just farming for the chaos later in the game.
I guess the word efficient isn't exactly accurate, but y'know what I mean
anyone else gotten the Megalomanic bronze stalker sentinel? I can't tell if this unique is like a meme or not lol. (also how do you share images in this channel?)
There are two places that you can actively farm for a Tabula: Aqueduct in Act 4 and Blood Aqueduct in Act 9. There is a card there called Humility, get 9 of them and you can turn them in for a Tab. You'll have to decide for yourself if its worth the time since it doesn't give you any stats and a lot of builds are still functional with only a 5-link until you can get a legitimate 6-link, you definitely will want to replace it when you start diving into maps.
Definitely just for temporary use, just looking for an early 6 slot for that comfort. Thanks for the info 👍
Especially this league
The extra stats are super value with how rippy this league is.
By Act9 you should have enough currency to buy a corrupted 6L with some life, resists and other trash (but useful) mods. Running maps with a tabula is bad.
these are listed on trade priced about 10c each (or whatever divine orb is worth). just find your socket colors and buy one of those
wtf is this lag after update 😦
Divine is locked to 7c
At least after the first few days.
is it just me or does searing exarch drop absolutely sweet fuck all now?
i've been burning exalts trying to get omni. feels like i have the worst luck 😦
I think they lower drop rate bcs it was to op
i killed every mob in map and cant click the last altar XD
Eli5 what dose this patch change
Nothing
still tooooo overtuned rares soooo nothing
I died to rares more than I died to map boss lmao
any good sentinel trees
Hi, I used to be able to see the defense percentile by hitting alt on any piece of armor, but now I can't ig, I can only see that percentile on trade.
Is there an option ig I'm missing or did they just remove that entirely ?
by defense percentile I mean the thing which can be changed with sacred orbs
is there any reason to use normal rarity sentinels? i depleted 2 with normal rarity and combined them to... a normal one!
is Syndicate still crashing game in research bunkers? or was that fixed?
Is spamming the red sentinels a good strat?
Ive been doing it for a bit (entering maps, using the sentinel, leaving the moment its done) and it seems to kinda work
Like u get a lotta random stuff its like half a minute in n out for like 2c
And the sentinels self sustain
Actually thats really good considering that ive been doing it in yellow maps 🤔
The maps sustain too weirdly enough
I picked a node that makes all sentinels to drop at least magic and this drops
I figured "found" meant the boxes. Because I am still getting a lot of Grey with that node as well :)
hi, i want to create a build with lighting arrow with deadeye, what do you think about?7
balormage has a video and diary for league starting deadeye LA
so there’s a start at least
what does it mean when empowered monsters increase sentinel power? what exactly becomes stronger?
so any general tips and tricks available for the league content yet? im just randomly pressing F2-F4 during mapping, no idea whats good. feels pretty meh. what are the secrets?
I saw a steelmage clip that gave a quick suggestion.
I'm mostly skipping this league so I don't know how effective it is
Watch Steelmage's clip titled "Steel explains loot explosion Sentinel. peepoNotes"
thanks
Do sentinels work with blight?
they buff, idk about loot though
thoughts on the league? seen some negative stuff about it. Any positives?
Fun
It's fun and they're rebalancing the broke stuff. The league mechanic is great imo, and the idea of making some mini-bosses throughout normal gameplay is fantastic, even though I personally think they've got a long way to got before they've nailed the execution perfectly (most especially how the new rares interact with other league content, like blight, metamorph, heist, ritual, delve, betrayal, deli, and harvest mostly).
anyone got crush claws for raise spectre on pc ?
So, whatever that affix is that makes those lightning totems that follow you around and blast you...is anyone else having it happen where they are permanently there and just follow you around even after everything is dead? But only like 3/4 the time? 1/4 the time they die with the caster?
Idk what the intention is with that garbage but it's absolutely horrible. Trying to loot and I have to run away, make them chase me, then go back and loot with them following me around still.
Yeah that's gotta be a bug... I can't accept any other explanation because they're so terrible lol
Hopefully fixed today or at least this week
Yeah, absolutely the only thing truly driving me nuts about this expansion.
can we talk about all the subtle detail changes this league! I dont think this light ray was always here it looks beautiful
should I be doubling up on my red/blue sentinels on the same mobs or is doubling up bad?
empowerment = more loot right
what's up with awakened poe trade? I get this message when price checking currency
looks like you need to update awakened
those freaking blue herald stones that keeps following you are so freaking idiot
not a single monster in range,and you get 1 tapped by those things
just lost a t12 map cause of those things 😂
i do get it that rares can be harder etc,but such awefull things is just not fun at all,they are just there endless in a map
Legit bug, like 99% sure
They just aren't respawning when the pack is dead for some reason
is there an easy way to get more recombinators?
been farming with the mechanic and havent gotten one
Has anyone tried Blue Sentinels?
says no updates available
then the trade site is still having problems. The message implies that Awakened is using an older API, but it could just be PoE's servers. They did maintenance yesterday on the site but may not have gotten everything fixed yet.
I think the mod pools are slightly different for each sentinel type; I know the empowerment is
blue/pandemonium sentinels are good for things like juiced strongboxes, ritual, or breach...anything with a lot of mobs on screen at once
The entire game loads like shit atm
Thanks for the info
did they nerf invetable ambush?
for some reason I have 80% ressistance less inside the map then in hideout (their is no modifier that effects my ressistances on the map at all)????????????
whats the map mods? screenshot
Ugh, that device not ready crash is getting real old by now
I see nothing effecting ressistances....blind shouldnt right?
it affects you while standing like that?
yeah in hideout its different
I had also bugs that prevented me to use metamorph this day (it was not targetable by attacks but still damages me)
or that I could get breaches on maps while I removed them with the atlas
no
the game is just bugged as I never saw it before
when I use a ressistances flask in this map the ressistances go in the red....
This has been a thing for a couple leagues
hm dumb
30 Power units is the max right?
or is that just the soft cap
going 29->30 seems to be taking a bit of time, but isn't that bad
would be a shame if all the sentinel xp buffs/mods were useless after
Anyone know how the blue and yellow sentinel are supposed to unlock?
you need to unlock them in the tree
rgr
Do the thingies in this leagues mechanics like wear out so you have to switch them out eventually? Or they recharge and you just get a ton of them to be able to try to get better ones...
The Sentinels
They run out and then you can use power cores to combine them into fresh ones
Im not finding this league to be one of their best. Very just blah. Ive played almost all of them but this one isnt topping the fun meter
my fav was breach tbh
I'm one of the weirdos who really liked Heist
Ah, thanks for the clarification
You dont have to keep them either - you drop a ton more fhan you could use
Lol... Just got to Kitava and he just won't spawn... what the hell...
Yea... left the area and reset it
so is everyone unhappy with poe right now?
Quite a few people it seems. A friend with 6k hours in it just stopped cause he got so annoyed with it apparently.
Do links persist with armour recombinators?
Does anyone know what the forbidden flame new nodes are for Scion and Marauder?
im crashing so often in maps
Thanks. Those look kinda meh tbh.
Three different ones. Can only have one of each.
Maybe you need the power to connect them
I believe you get more power each time you use sentinels
No idea. You need to click on the pathing to connect. Top
bar above the board is your progression
Lol
Love those bugs that make you lose your mind
So what is going on with the league so far? Been out of town since league start and just got back.
is everyone quit? even not many offer and deal in trade channel
So, if I read the patch notes right, there isn't much that changed mechanically.. so are there any new builds for this league?
What builds have strong aoe for clearing juiced breaches and legions?
No new skills and "Your build will function the same as in 3.17 so you can start planning now!"
one more chance to play ashes melding builds
extensively tested
thoughts on league mechanic? havent played much yet
trying to decide if i want to skip this league
league mechanic is pretty good
but the rare change makes it meanless
all I can dream is the 3.17 with sentinel, fast mapping gonna feel hype
its a good league if u like playing at ur own pace
its a bad league if u just wanna zoom
blue one also feels great, empower the whole screen and boom
it looked pretty uninteresting at face value is why i asked, like it just makes shit harder
archnem mods are polarizing for zoomers
it does bring better drop, but the problem is you don't know whether you can handle next rare
so far far my summoner can handle 90% of rares
Thanks.
while you can handle 100% before, while 10% is annoying enough, while there is other builds
when summoner can handle 90% you know there is something goes wrong
that means its good
yeah
the point is that some rares r actual monsters
which is nice when u kill 1k monsters in a map and only shotguns from packs can threaten u
I am also good with the hard rare, but they should really give better control to us
now theres like a random dude who can walk up and beat your head in if you dont pay attention, very ggg design
there is casual players, there is other meme builds
not dare to deal with any extra content is not a good design, what is that for?
Has anyone figured out any good sentinel assemblies yet?
Does anyone need lvl 4 spell damage craft?
anyone know if sentinal power is shared to all party members or just the one who popped the sentinal
And do they stack, or should party members stagger their sentinels?
sentinel power is shared
they do not stack; only one enemy can get one empowerment at a time
how do i get to power my apex slot and pandemonium slot? im lvl 73
you have to path over tot hem
and you have to kill mobs empowered by sentinels to get more power for the controller
some bug with currency amounts?
sometime the font messes up, have to restart to fix it
wonder what kind of error causes that
Can recombinators change item level? (Trying to figure out where the heck ilvl 90 ritual bases are coming from.)
Hello, does anyone have a suggestion to what keys I could rebind the sentinels? I'm really not a fan of F2 - F4.
And the third one?
Ah okay good to know, thanks!
I do my mouse buttons
And I agree with eb. You only want to use 1 or 2
Alright, thanks guys.
ok so this is rippy af
save it for when you have to go into an easy area for some reason like a white map you haven't done yet
Is there any point in keeping empty unique sentinels?
Did someone already theorycraft the best sentinel controller setup?
What's the current "meta" in using sentinels? Is it like with scourge you go into white maps and spam for the rewards?
feels like rare+corrupt T16 with sentinels might be a bit too rippy
anyone doing spark inquisitor this league? how its going? feels worse compared to RF but it just might be the core game changes
what're good sentinel controller builds
I need help figuring out my controller :<
Should I go for all 3 sentinels, or should I focus on stalkers and apexes
or maybe pandemonium is great and i'd be missing out
So sentinels and apexes or pandemoniums depending on if I want to boss or clear?
I played since Ultimatum and progressed super fast to T16 and juicem them early without much struggle, now I am struggling in T9 and can barely do the map itself. wtf
I was looking forward to play this game tho, nvm
the worst is I have no idea what to do
I am used to progressing atlas
really strong in end game setup
the only bad thing about spark is his mechanics works - projectiles not travel to the highground
so its not good for league start? many peopel suggested it and I am really struggling now
If I slam together two blue items with recombinator will I get a rare with all 4 stats?
It turns out i am killing enemies too fast for my stalker sentinel to empower anything 
it feels really awkward having to wait for it to empower everything
O. O theres nodes to allow the beam to chain and empower more enemy at a time
will that also increase total amount of enemies that can be empowered or will it just empower them faster?
Well if u look the tree u will see a small node that give you more enemies that get empowered one other so the beam chain
is there a reason to roll incandescent invitations, isn't it just about the unique drop?
when killing mobs in a node the loot is spewn out in the end
idk if it works, but that gives the illusion of it not dropping anything
Has anyone tried to use a sentinel on a pinnacle boss ?
( I don't even know if they are enabled)
bruh i thought the league was releasing the 18th
i just realised im 4 days late
shiet
what do ppl think of the mechanic so far
it was the thing that seemed the most boring to me so far
what's the use of this?
use it on breach lol
More power
🤡 man i really hate the game when you go from 100 to 0 with 11k armor and bone offering and such , sometimes i want to uninstall lol
Man, trying blight, got stuck by the ice prison all of the time
Experience maybe?
I thought they limited mobs to 3 archnem mods at most, or was that just a plan and they haven't patched it in yet?
Empowering Minions gives the rare the mods the minions had if you kill them first
Aaah
and yes, Megalomanic lets you level up the Sentinel Controller faster; it's the equivalent of a leveling unique
Megalo was nice. Shot all the way up to about 29.5/30 thanks to the one I accidentally made
Someone tell me if this is the wrong place, newb here but I want to sell trade a unique skullhead sequiter helm Sentinel league
you have to buy at least one tab in shop and change it to 'public' : yu then put your item there and its price(example 1chaos), ppl will then see it on https://www.pathofexile.com/trade

is the crafted mod on rings that gives +# mana and #% of damage taken recouped as mana from jun unveil?
yes
most defence mechanics are garbage
#1 is attack/spell block (capped)
#2 spell suppression
11k armour is pretty low
Anyone see a "new exchange engine" error with Awakened Poe trying to PC scarabs, etc?
Love the situations where you go into a slay beyond boss mission for Kirac, and no beyond boss spawns
ty for good arch rares
Have you tried building more defenses and not getting hit
I dont think anyone has Merveil's Retainer (and is online) that I can nab it from. What other specters are worth using? I can summon 3 and already have Host and Carnage up but need 1 more
What does merveil's retainer do, and what build are you running?
I am not running spectres this league (and I don't keep up with the spectre meta) but last league for my skele mages I used arena master (I think that was the name?) from drox maps, it has a 10% action speed buff 1/4 of the time
Vulnerability curse, im running zombies with the baron
What other mechanic goes as well with the red sentinel as Harbinger? Its nice having all the mobs constantly spawn as the Sentinel buffs them in one isolated area.
I'm making it a challenge to find the most juiced mobs and treat them like pets
Like look at it... Your not killing this thing

unlimited p o w a h
What items u got?
skin of the lords (+2), +2 amulet, +6 both cold iron point and level 21 seismic
Hi, how much time can enemy be empowered ? (if I can use all the sentinel on a boss)
What’s the stats on the gem at level31?
has anybody tested out if sentinels boost the drops in maven invitations?
like increased splinters/uniques?
if you can get an extra like 100% quant in invitations that'd be huge
Damn
SC Seismic - Poison or Crit? I have a bit of money to go crit if needed, but wasn't sure if it was tanky enough for all these archnem mods
Same defence , poison cheap crit money
damn you game, dropping me a corrupted white 5 socket chest
I accidentally ran I to Abaxoth in a juiced map with a sentinel juicer running. It, uh, was mildly terrifying and took me a while to down
Completely missed the beyond mod on map and everything just started exploding at the first pack of mobs
pog
Hey does the Recombiners transfer sockets?
do sentinels work on delve?
Somebody aiming to do 20 Challenges this league, looks to be super hard to even get to 20
even 20 challenges looks to be way harder then 36
last league
I honestly also don't like the pacing of the challenges, it seams they are all bunched up at the ultra endgame. From all the Leagues I have played, I like this challenge structure the least.
If they want to add more hard challenges, they should go up to 50 or something, not cut all the challenges you could do in the mid game out.
vendor recipe challenge is a way of onboarding new players; forces them to discover that vendor recipes exist
What I also find irritating about the Challenges is, that they finally added the ability to block content and then they added a bunch of Challenges to grind all the content. Contrary design.
I think the design intent was more "show mastery of the game if you want the shiny version of the armor"
I mean yes, the intent was to make it very hard, but I think that in their goal to make it very hard, they actually cut away content that people where doing.
Is anyone in hardcore using the sentinels? last two times i pressed the button i died instantly lol
probably yes. It is highly likely that there are people who will run sentinels in hc.
i mean here who can talk about it
doe the blue and red sentinels do the same empowerments just in a different fashion? machinegun/all at once?
the red one feels like it makes the mobs tankier or am just imagining that
Game keeps randomly crashing after entering an instance and it's only been happening in this league, anyone else having the same problem?
blue has more empowerment per tier, but mods can change how much empowerment each has
oh i guess i didn't think of it like that
so it's the empowerment that making them beefier to kill?
yep
gotcha, thanks
huo, i was getting a client crash everytime in betrayal when going into lab
but it fixed itself in the last patch
only instance crashing I saw was my roommate's Mac version, and that is tied to a certain MTX
So basically wait until next patch?
might be MTX like silvanis said, i don't know much about tha tkinda thing
