girly looking

#

but i haven't found any fitting armour so far

faint mauve
#

my dancer glam

near hedge
#

theres quite a few sets that fit that tbh

stable shore
#

i just need a torso transmog

#

so i can start with the global idea

faint mauve
#

the material to craft the dress is from treasure maps, then metallic yellow dye iirc

stable shore
#

i usually process like that

#

but it seems like there isn't everything on ff14 glamour website

#

i own many armour you can't find there

faint mauve
#

for my machinist i wear a cowboy hat on top of the above

#

tfw never dress up in real life but my waifu is fully decked out

near hedge
stable shore
#

yes

#

it's where i checked

#

and there isn't everything

near hedge
#

ahh okay

#

could try just looking in the glamour section people upload to. see if anyones made a set similar to what youre thinking

stable shore
#

wait actually it sounds like there is more stuff

#

on the link you sent somehow

#

nvm i selected ninja instead of reaper

near hedge
#

its the defacto glam site. they run competitions and shit on there. id be surprised if they didnt have something

stable shore
#

i think i understand why

faint mauve
stable shore
#

there are every armour set

faint mauve
#

show me an armour glam you think is cool haha

stable shore
#

but somle single body armour iimage are missing

faint mauve
#

tried making one with monster hunter armour glam but it looked bad

stable shore
#

the idea is i'll take a pally looking thing

faint mauve
#

its not even the real rathalos X design

stable shore
#

then i'll just swap the legs with a skirt

near hedge
stable shore
#

and adapt jewellry after

near hedge
#

like the season, and leaderboard rewards

stable shore
#

i'm trying to find something similar to an old mmo i used to play

#

i'll try to find picture

faint mauve
#

ok this is cool

stable shore
#

maybe you know something similar in ff14

faint mauve
#

as a ninja or monk maybe

near hedge
faint mauve
#

ultraman style

near hedge
#

its also no longer available

#

the garo sets are pretty close though

faint mauve
#

oh rip

near hedge
#

its from this years summer event

#

pretty goofy story, but the sets pretty meh

faint mauve
#

whats with all these underpants glam on the eorzea collection site

near hedge
#

lol people like their undies

stable shore
#

why pvp gear looks the best in this game

#

i really don't wanna bother with it lmao

faint mauve
#

ive done abit just to get a piece i want

#

its kinda a thing where if you never engaged with it, you might a few years down the line when you have nothing else to do

#

same for bozja/eureka/deepdungeons etc.... and then you actually find out it could actually be fun

stable shore
#

i like that

faint mauve
#

ok that looks gooood

stable shore
#

i can see thigh highs fitting it well

faint mauve
#

the overcooked armour glams the problem i find is the lack of colour

#

alot of them looked .... dull ?

#

as in colour

#

i dunno if metallic dyes can add further sheen

near hedge
# stable shore

thats basically just the crystarium set, with a different chest piece. if i remember right the pvp wolf mark head pieces have some that look fairly close.

stable shore
#

this isn't bad either

#

the top i mean

near hedge
#

looks like the void ark set

faint mauve
#

i dunno man

#

those shoulders look weird

#

like the weight looks uncomfortable

stable shore
faint mauve
#

hahaha

stable shore
#

those horns

#

you can say it's a very horny set

faint mauve
#

lightning conduit

near hedge
#

lol oh god that set

#

should be pretty doable at 90 now though

faint mauve
#

can have excuse if you wipe in raids i guess

near hedge
#

its from a fate in the shroud

stable shore
#

I ain't farming it

#

it looks stupid

near hedge
#

it looks amazing. whatchu on about

#

you cant tell me that set doesnt just fill you with vigor

faint mauve
#

maybe a weird meme / weirdo glam setup

#

like under pants

#

lightning coinduit helm, and some other stupid shit

stable shore
#

hum i tried the set i showed on my character

#

it looks too bulky for my catboy sadly

near hedge
#

honestly a lot of things lay whack on catboys

stable shore
#

yeah, it seems plate armour never fits tbh

#

this isn't bad looking

#

the torso i mean

#

is the tail part of the torso or not ?

#

fuck it's part of the torso

faint mauve
#

is that the tail lol

stable shore
#

it will probably look very weird on a miquo'te

faint mauve
#

you dont have to go full suit anyway you can always try one piece glams

stable shore
#

yeah but it's a dungeon drop

#

so i can't really preview it

#

nah it looks way too weird i think

faint mauve
#

yah i dont go that deep into glam hunting to the point of repeating a single dungeon

#

i rather sell the shit for company seals

#

and convert to gil

stable shore
#

i really don't wanna bother farming a raid for it

#

fuck i give up trying with plate armour

#

lesson learned, miquo'te are meant to crossdress and nothing else

faint mauve
#

sometimes in game on a raid before it begins you can just view a rando's glam setup if your interested

#

you could find some inspiration at least something to do before it starts

#

game is more fun when you set your own goals and have something to work towards instead of just farming capping lvl 90 tomes every week

stable shore
#

true

near hedge
stable shore
#

i'm not a fan

#

i looked every pages of the website, nothing really caught my eyes

near hedge
#

imo its one of the best sets in the game

#

for all the jobs hoenstly

stable shore
#

it does look dope actually

#

i'll go farm it

near hedge
#

its from the final shadowbringers dungeon

stable shore
#

only drops from boss right ?

near hedge
#

should drop from any of the bosses in there

stable shore
#

oh, treasure coffer 3 and lunar bahamuth apparently

near hedge
#

thats not too bad

#

it is a pretty long dungeon though

#

i doubt youll be able to nosync it on reaper

stable shore
#

i am built different

#

i'm joking, i'll just tag with npc

near hedge
#

that sounds like torture

stable shore
#

is ok, i can bring ryne with me, she will apply trick attack

#

it's something at least omegalul

near hedge
#

lol better than waiting 40 minutes in queue

stable shore
#

yes

#

that's the idea

#

i'll need to find good plated thigh highs to use with this armour too

near hedge
#

the crystarium sets decent

#

should be a pretty similar vibe

stable shore
#

i just go pull every pack

#

because thancred is too limited to do it himself

near hedge
#

lol

#

i find it weird they design the dungeons to be like that, but yet dont actually make the trusts do it

stable shore
#

nothing on the first run

hot crown
#

Interesting. Wish our education actually meant something instead of being a garbage-quality propaganda tool.

#

Maybe then I wouldn't have been a shitstain of a human being I currently am...

copper pawn
#

finally 6 soc, now is 6 links

#

there's always that 1 broken link somewhere god damn

faint mauve
#

friend showed me this , my ruthless build last league has 3 million more dps without a benchcraft

#

its super safe though but no way your gonna do 4 million dps

junior oyster
#

So yea good luck man

copper pawn
#

yeah, and then chrom till all 6 correct colors lol

copper pawn
#

is this the legendary tab sale?

#

it won't get cheaper than this right?

#

to sell items, I should upgrade existing tabs tp premium or buy new premium?

simple needle
#

Depends on how many tabs you currently own, one premium goes a long way cos you can sell stuff on it. I don't use that many tabs anyway cos I reset every league

faint mauve
copper pawn
#

is this shit good for srs?

copper pawn
faint mauve
#

well you paying for a $30 supporter pack or $60 ?

copper pawn
#

$20 lol

faint mauve
#

bruh pay $10 more for a supporter pack

#

at least you get skins etc

copper pawn
#

I bought the $20 supporter pack, got 1 extra tab for it

faint mauve
#

ohhh the first blood one ? kk got it

#

thats 200 coins yah?

copper pawn
#

yah, so I bought currency, map, upgrade 1 to premium, and exactly 10 points left

faint mauve
#

so i guess map, currency , upgrade two to premium stash or one extra tab

#

you probably just need one premium stash and an extra stash tab

#

you dont need to sell alot unless you actually enjoy it

copper pawn
#

yeah, so I'll just leave the 10 points there, no need to spend them all

#

and regarding the skill gem, the level 21 corrupted is great?

faint mauve
#

i never played pure SRS

#

i know animate guardian but i dunno if its a thing for SRS

#

for me i have these, just one quad

#

the only unpremium tab i use it for current league only shit

copper pawn
faint mauve
#

yes very

#

its worth something at least

#

you dont want your AG to die if you got many divs invested in it

#

i think you need a certain unique ring to fully make use of it

#

i played alot of minions before its as OP currently is, im not complaining but minion builds were considered a meme for awhile

#

SRS i dont consider it as a real minion build it just scales minion

copper pawn
#

wait, removing existing guardian gem and replace with new one will reset all the gears on it?

faint mauve
#

hmm forgot but once i had my AG it sticks with the gem

#

google it the answer is there

faint mauve
#

so if you say invest in a kingmaker on the AG, its a few divs so if the AG die its gone

#

with how popular minion builds are atm i dunno if its still like 2 -3 divs

junior oyster
#

I could be wrong though

faint mauve
#

i heard SRS guardian is the most OP build last league anyway

#

SRS by itself is abit too uninteractive for me

copper pawn
faint mauve
#

nah he wont die

copper pawn
#

interesting, so I just need to buy that lvl 21 gem and replace, current gem, and it's still the same gears

faint mauve
#

if im wrong dont hate me coming from memory

#

a starter AG is cheap as chips anyway your not losing much

#

belly of the beast, southbound, leercast, dying breath

#

boots depending on your element

#

as long as you dont take your AG to uber maven even a budget one should survive

copper pawn
junior oyster
faint mauve
#

uuf

junior oyster
#

So becareful when opening those unid strongboxes especially in juiced red maps

faint mauve
#

actually good performance lol

junior oyster
#

Unless they nerfed enemy dd but I doubt that

faint mauve
#

reached no.1 jugg on ruth lol

faint mauve
#

get used to IDing an elite monster in like half a second and detect the DD early

junior oyster
#

Yea I'm aware of that

#

DD is a stupid mechanic like most mechanics in poe

faint mauve
#

on unid strongboxes if your frozen and theres DD you have enough time to /exit

#

no other fix other than having freeze immune potion ready to open the strongbox

junior oyster
#

Ofc

#

Or just freeze and hope you live Lilith_Cringe

faint mauve
#

its not stupid for me , its like doing nihlatak in d2

#

and its very avoidable so i dont see no problem

junior oyster
#

Stupid in the way it scales

#

Also fuck nihlatek I hated that guy

#

Stealing my corpse explosions

faint mauve
#

yah you need to be super alert and have attention lol

#

its hard to maintain that for a long period of time

junior oyster
#

I'd rather have dd than fight that stupid birb in canyon though

#

Idk how it just one-shots me

faint mauve
#

one shot ?

#

eep

#

i dont recall canyon being a problem but for me its core , palace

junior oyster
#

Other bosses so far haven't been an issue

faint mauve
#

fuckin factory

junior oyster
#

Nope non of them are a problem for me

#

The birb does this aoe rain of arrows or something that always gets me

#

Factory is the one with that Tane like dude right?

faint mauve
#

electric walls

#

its not a problem if you can dps down before the walls come out, or at least one wall so you can trigger potion and get maybe 10 seconds more to kill

junior oyster
#

Oh the one from act 9 in the quarry?

faint mauve
#

but on ruthless progression you just dont have the power unless you are playing meta

#

yah

junior oyster
#

He is a weaker version of minatuar as far as I'm concerned lol

#

In terms of his arena at least

faint mauve
#

yah of course

#

accidental deaths can still easily happen, dying once in the 90s in ruthless is painful

#

not just exp but the maps you use to get that exp

copper pawn
#

think next season I'll go with a build that has both league start and endgame version, but I doubt playing ssf will ever get me to endgame version lol

faint mauve
#

ssf standard is fine

#

its just a different strategy without trade market min maxing which im not huge on

#

i wont sell completions or buy carries

copper pawn
#

do I do temple everytime its location is revealed?

faint mauve
#

alva ??

#

you open 12 rooms then you take the map , save it or run it

#

the ones i save are say double corrupt rooms

copper pawn
faint mauve
#

by building said room

#

if you wanna build more often you spec into atlas

copper pawn
#

what do you mean by building? when I encounter alva I just encounter it randomly and as fast as possible, so where to see this building?

faint mauve
#

its really hard to explain to you in a few sentences

#

you have a choice to change a room to something else, or an existing room upgraded

#

so you hit the say corruption room and then you upgrade it to tier 3

#

you wont do this easily without investment in atlas

#

you need to know what is the name of the corruption room so you can google that

waxen sonnet
#

I think it's literally "temple of corruption" or something similar lol

faint mauve
#

triple tempest room also has corruption on the name you can confuse with it if you dont pay attention

waxen sonnet
#

Oh that is true. Good call

faint mauve
#

your not guaranteed to get a double corrupt room unless you really max it and pray you get lucky

waxen sonnet
#

Idr if there are nodes for room types or quality on the atlas tree

faint mauve
#

its still rng

waxen sonnet
#

Sure sure

faint mauve
#

you dont need to heavily invest unless you actually want to double corrupt everything

copper pawn
#

so I just don't bother with that content at all

waxen sonnet
#

Well that's sad. Temple is fun ๐Ÿ™‚

faint mauve
#

dont think so

#

every master is good

#

least good is einhar

#

but in ruthless einhar is still good cause thats the only way you can enchant your potions

waxen sonnet
#

Even that has uses. And you get free einhar missions ๐Ÿ™‚

faint mauve
#

and then doing boss einhar for say farruls fur or whatever its called

#

its worth alot for ruthless

waxen sonnet
#

Yeah that for sure. Idk if I would ever spec into it or anything. But

faint mauve
#

you dont need in standard unless you play ssf/hcssf and want to target farm the uniques

#

standard poe is stilll not a waste to invest if your a craicic chineral farmer

#

theres many ways to play the game

copper pawn
#

as long as not taking part in a certain endgame doesn't lock me out of anything, it's ok

#

don't care too much about things rarer than winning powerball like double corruption

faint mauve
#

but ya , you dont need much to be successful in standard

#

only if you play the real zoomer currency meta

copper pawn
#

50% is not, 50% followed by another 1% maybe, like, there's no point just corrupting the item, must corrupt to the right affix

faint mauve
#

you can still farm 16 divs or whatever for awakened multistrike , or 18 - 20 divs for ashes

copper pawn
#

sounds like too complicated lol, hope poe2 reduces the complexity massively

junior oyster
faint mauve
#

i just hope its really ruthless poe 2

#

the worst fears of modern poe enjoyers

copper pawn
#

thing is, ggg does promise they will make poe2 much more casual friendly

junior oyster
junior oyster
#

We'll see though

faint mauve
#

its probably still gonna be more complex than LE

#

otherwise it doesnt stand out

copper pawn
faint mauve
#

well your on your first char right ?

#

your doing ok

waxen sonnet
#

Idk why people say Poe is PhD level understanding. It's really not that complicated. There is a lot of feature bloat after ten years but each individual mechanic or interaction is relatively simple

faint mauve
#

how can i explain betrayal to keika in 10 sentences ?

#

minimum requirement in standard poe is just unveil everything, yolo until mastermind

#

maybe hit a diadem, which isnt worth much in poe standard

copper pawn
waxen sonnet
copper pawn
#

don't think poe is phd level of understanding, it's more like phd level of knowledge to learn

faint mauve
#

its alot of effort from the player

waxen sonnet
#

PhD level understanding doesn't mean a large volume of information. It means that the information is incredibly complicated, nuanced, interconnected, mechanistically obscure or nebulous, intricate and requiring a high level of base knowledge on the topic to even understand what's being contemplated

faint mauve
#

but once you unlock the big brain its rewarding

waxen sonnet
#

Poe is just a lot of relatively simple mechanics stacked one on another. Of which, most can be learned just by playing

faint mauve
#

it will take hundreds of hours if your smart

#

not uber smart

copper pawn
#

I remember ziz once said if you're less than 5k hours into the game, you don;t have that deep understanding yet

faint mauve
#

nah can be much lower than that

#

you just need prior experience in the genre

copper pawn
#

that's why poe is intimidating to people without arpg experience

faint mauve
#

i was a d2 ladder player

copper pawn
#

their spirit will prolly break before 10h

faint mauve
#

so poe is very much like d2 anyway

#

original poe and ruthless is more similar to the d2 concept

waxen sonnet
#

If the only game you have ever played is Stardew valley then the initial onboarding is more difficult sure. But come on, if you have ever played any like games, not even necessarily arpgs, you can grasp most of the concepts within the first few times encountering them. The PhD level understanding comes when you are trying to make connections and do things that are beyond the normal scope of the game.

#

And even that is masters level at most

#

And again, 99.8% of players will never even need to get close to that level to play and enjoy the game. Especially as most of them are just following a guide anyways

faint mauve
#

i only make my own builds

#

thats why the maxroll jugg boneshit triggers me

copper pawn
#

yeah, like me, still stucking at uni level of gameplay

#

but at least their guardian srs guide not bad, even ziz recommends

waxen sonnet
#

The deification of streamers and content creators is a whole other issue, but don't need to get into that

faint mauve
#

yah they hire cronies

#

i would not be caught dead copying their builds

copper pawn
#

is it healthy for me to already think about what build to start with next league lol

faint mauve
#

yah sure

#

well some build makers deserve it like jungroan ben carn ziz etc

#

they are legitly good players

#

ghazzy i dont really respect cause he doesnt do HC

waxen sonnet
faint mauve
#

very good for me

copper pawn
#

can you still bench craft with corrupted item?

faint mauve
#

no

copper pawn
#

interesting, can pull out temple map layout so that you can stack the next one

faint mauve
#

you can sell the temple too

#

if you made a profitable one

#

more than just double corrupt

copper pawn
#

map can be anointed? what does it mean?

faint mauve
#

annoint it

copper pawn
#

this is 1 mechanism I'm not familiar with, although I did anoint my amulet according to guide

waxen sonnet
#

Anoint it

#

Transitive property isn't undergrad level thinking, it's like 5th grade math ๐Ÿ˜‰

copper pawn
#

I anoint my amulet coz it gives buff, what does anoint map do? same buff but only to that map run?

waxen sonnet
#

Try it and see

#

Oils are super cheap and common except black, silver and gold

copper pawn
#

selling corpse so profitable

#

I feel so weird saying that, almost sounds like dead body smuggler

waxen sonnet
#

Pretty much what it is

junior oyster
#

If you struggle to kill shit use the lower oils to help you out

copper pawn
#

can you run labyrinth multiple times to upgrade gem quality or to make transfigured gems?

waxen sonnet
#

Yes

copper pawn
#

but people still use gemcutter coz it's simply faster?

waxen sonnet
#

Let me be clear. You can run lab multiple times, as many times as you want

junior oyster
#

Uber lab does restrict you in that you need the goddess key thing per run but otherwise you can run lab as much as you want

trim portal
#

it's wierd owning a macbook and android phone together right?

warped wren
#

or just spare yourself the pain and buy

#

"success" (conventionally defined) in PoE SC Trade comes from how efficiently you use your time. If you're running lab just for a specific Tgem rather than blasting maps to get currency to buy it, you're likely being wildly inefficient unless your character is built to farm lab and that's your primary strat

copper pawn
#

I wonder any gem of guardian srs is worth having transfigured gem instead of normal gem

warped wren
#

no

#

SRS of Enormity is good for popcorn SRS

copper pawn
#

I read animate guardian and dont see a real difference between normal and transfigured, am I reading it wrong?

warped wren
#

it just uses Smite

#

the only way to make it work would I guess be to get some solid gear on it to make that Smite not be dogshit, and to make your character into an aurabot

copper pawn
#

I wonder if it's worth it to up all supported gems of srs to quality 20?

waxen sonnet
#

Depends on what the quality does

junior oyster
#

I really do miss being able to make a level 20 gem into a level 1 gem with 20% qual

#

At least gemcutters still haven't gone up much

#

Oh wait I forgot I'm on ssf

warped wren
copper pawn
#

take minion support for example, at 20, deals 39% more dmg, the quality part say 10% increased damage, this 10% is additive to the affixes on weapon and shield, not additive to the 39% right?

warped wren
#

so that increased damage is going to add to your increased damage source pool

copper pawn
#

basically additive

trim portal
copper pawn
#

so maybe that's the last step after I'm done with upgrading offensive items

#

considering that my minion additive damage in total is not even 100% yes, that 50% is huge

junior oyster
#

I don't think mine is all that good either rofl

#

Yea only 230%

copper pawn
#

jackpot

#

rich

viral galleon
copper pawn
#

how the hell do people sell for 3.2 div? 0.2 div is what?

junior oyster
#

.2 of a div

#

20%

vagrant topaz
#

Some chaos orbs

junior oyster
#

If a div is 100c then it's 3d + 20c

viral galleon
#

The difference being, if I do 100 damage and get 100% increased, that's 200 damage. If I get another 100% increased, that's 300 damage. (100 x (100% +100%))

If I have 100 damage, and get 100% more, it's 200 damage. If I get another 100% more, that's 400 damage. (100 x 100% x 100%)

copper pawn
junior oyster
#

Probably many

copper pawn
#

not too familiar with jewel system, so I don't really understand, but it's not useful for my build right?

junior oyster
#

No idea but I guess it could work if you don't need the stats you do allocate

#

I wish I went with poison srs witch though

copper pawn
#

why? much stronger than guardian srs?

junior oyster
#

Nah I just like the witch more

warped wren
#

it's a generically excellent jewel

#

gg, have fun with the currency

copper pawn
#

feeling rich

junior oyster
#

Nice

copper pawn
#

so double corruption is when you have 2 of this in the building right?

maiden widget
#

no when you upgrade it to III

#

e.g. upgrade it twice

copper pawn
#

I see, so basically unlocking it 3 times, before unlocking the temple

junior oyster
#

I disagree with him on the casual bit though. PoE is actually still more fun than D4. And until D4 becomes as good as D3 I'm not touching D4 again 749017597210525828

warped wren
#

Darth something

junior oyster
#

Darth Maul?

#

Just kidding

#

But I know who you mean

#

It took me a long time to play both poe and grim dawn

#

Like I literally used to be one of those D3 fan boys that used to think PoE sucks

#

Don't even get me started on gd lol. I hated the graphics of that more than poe Lilith_Cringe

warped wren
junior oyster
#

Idk but I know for a fact I enjoyed a league many people seemed to hate. Pokemon league ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

That was my first and proper attempt at PoE

#

I got to mid-high tier maps at the time

tawny sand
#

i think the issue for people is that the capturing was annoying

junior oyster
#

League mechanic sucked (the net throwing bit) but the gameplay was fucking amazing

tawny sand
#

they fixed it eventually tho

junior oyster
#

And I basically enjoyed PoE before the whole atlas tree was created so there is that too

warped wren
#

so that happens

junior oyster
#

Yea I'll be honest despite the fact I love these games (including D3) I usually take long breaks so I skip out on a lot of leagues

#

So I never experienced crucible lol

rugged island
#

I tried to get into POE the last 3 leagues and I just cant

#

i always make it to maps and realize im not having any fun

#

i'm done with poe til poe2 comes out

junior oyster
#

I take it you enjoy LE?

warped wren
rugged island
junior oyster
#

Any reason why?

rugged island
# warped wren what specifically do you end up disliking?

lack of QoL features, combat feels dated, even bigger one-shot meta than LE, steep difficulty drops rather than gradual, complexity which discourages newer/less experienced players from making their own builds, punishing respeccing too much, convoluted trade system which requires using third party tools, combat becomes too fast, terrible UI design based upon late 1990's UI with 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 being the modern norm (or even wider like 25:9).. I can go on, and i'm not interested into getting into a long discussion about this. POE is just not my game despite trying to get into it again and again through the years, there's just way too many problems and things that piss me off and ruin my fun. I feel like POE is more of chris wilson's personal nostolgia project than actually being made as a game for mass appeal, and people overlook the flaws because it offers for example unparralled build depth other games cannot

#

but im not arguing this more, thats just my opinion

warped wren
#

right, I was just curious

junior oyster
rugged island
#

im going to give poe2 an honest try

#

but im done with poe

#

the only "fun" i have is designing a build

#

but that doesnt outweigh the lack of fun from actually playing the game

#

For contrast, I enjoy playing LE, the gameplay itself is enjoyable to me

#

thats really it

junior oyster
#

Unfortunately I can't get into LE. I really dislike the fact you can only use 5 skills max and 5 skills to specialise into.

rugged island
#

Funny enough but I find it more engaging here. POE builds almost always devolve into spamming 1 ability as your entire build and all your other shit is automatically triggered or reserved auras or heralds or whatnot. in LE I'm always using all my abilities and that's way more engaging. Even tho POE has "more" you end up doing way less. The better your build, the more drooling monkey-brained ape you can "play"

junior oyster
#

True but I just prefer to have a lot of skills even if they are just auras

rugged island
#

POE to me is the statement that's very popular with game devs, "if you let a player optimize the fun out of the game, they will"

#

GGG missed that lesson entirely

#

POE is all about optimziation

#

and it kills the game in the long run

rugged island
#

see the build depth in POE is one thing I do really like

#

but I need to step over and ignore dozens of big issues to enjoy those things

#

and I cannot do that

#

me personally, no

warped wren
#

So

#

Like if you'd told me two leagues ago you could make a 10m+ DPS Tornado Shot build for, like, barely 10 divs I'd have pissed myself laughing

#

But here we are

#

You can actually clear much of the game and have good fun in t16s with some incredibly basic ass gear now. Sure you CAN optimize and go for wildly overpowered levels of godliness, but by no means do you need to

junior oyster
#

I just think some people simply don't enjoy X games

warped wren
#

Totally fair

junior oyster
#

I know there are many people who love poe but hate gd

warped wren
#

I just think it's unfair to say GGG don't understand their players. I think they've proven time and again they very much do

#

They're deserving of criticism in several areas, but that's not one of them

junior oyster
#

Yea I mean I can't say about skills as I'm still nooby but they made atlas a lot more accessible with the atlas tree

warped wren
#

Even this whole gem rework makes the system so much less complicated while still retaining a ton of depth

#

I love it

#

And it leaves them design space to add even more crazy gems

rugged island
#

im not arguing because I know how zealous POE players get when faced with ANY criticism of their beloved game so I dont want to get into this

#

i think its a bad game, not for me, you can love it, thats fine, move on

eternal sky
#

let alone builds like warcrys having the extra rotations alongside totems etc

#

2 button builds like dd bladeblase

#

in epoch alot of builds is just making 1 button your most powerful button

#

like for example my werebear was quite literally roar then slam

#

then you got skills that automate casting skills soo you specialize into them but never actually use them

stable shore
#

i actually don't feel like one game is really different than the other on that aspect

#

i just depends on your build

eternal sky
#

yea

#

its quite literally the same

#

people play epoch the same way they do PoE

#

build around the button that works

stable shore
#

yeah, on poe you could play TS and just press 1 key

#

or you could play melee with 2 totems, berserk + blood rage

eternal sky
#

yea and for example dd has like

#

curse

#

dese

#

shield charge

#

blessing

stable shore
#

yep

eternal sky
#

flame dash etc

stable shore
#

that said i wish they could smooth up totems in poe

#

maybe make both in 1 ?

eternal sky
#

yea idk totems are fucked

trim portal
#

Is it normal to have an Android phone and a Macbook? I oftne thought Macbooks were really built to be used with iphones

stable shore
#

it's such a huge buff though and is mandatory for melee

eternal sky
#

all they need to do is

stable shore
#

you can only pass on them when you are OP, but it's objectively a bad thing to do

eternal sky
#

remove the buffs from the totems

#

add them baseline to melee

#

even at just a reduced portion

stable shore
#

well i like totems tbh

#

but 2 to manage is yikes

eternal sky
#

yea thats why i said remove the buff

#

since then ur not compelled to use them for the buff basicly

#

sure its a few mil extra ST

#

also

#

but like OMEGALULCEPTION

stable shore
#

melee dead

stable shore
#

remember when they removed power from mendatory item to give them back to melee skill ?

#

with treshold jewels PEPELA

#

glacial hammer and dual strike both lost melee splash omegalul

eternal sky
#

phone tribal andy alert

#

go consoom some where else

rugged island
stable shore
#

we got back the damage, but we lost 1 support gem omegalul

trim portal
eternal sky
waxen sonnet
#

Bout to just report you for spam

#

That's all it is

stable shore
#

is primeval actually a talented star manager ?

eternal sky
#

must be

stable shore
#

so anway, i rather keep totems as is

#

the ggg i know will remove them and put nothing back to melee because fuck us

eternal sky
#

tbh i wouldnt even care

rugged island
#

i will say

stable shore
#

they did that so many tims in the past already

eternal sky
#

damage needs to be nerfed again

#

anyways

trim portal
#

I win

stable shore
rugged island
#

the new POE2 trailer with the fully automatic assault rifle crossbow class looks awesome

stable shore
#

though this patch did a lot for melee, so maybe it feels better now

#

there's a reason people tolerate totems, it's because they are mandatory for some melee skill to even compete in dps with some other good skils

eternal sky
#

boneshatter is insane

#

the new alt qual

#

just better then normal shatter unless ur ramping to like 30+

#

feelsgoodman

stable shore
#

it is insane, but i don't think it's because of the new alt quality

#

it's still a net negative on dps

eternal sky
#

shrug

#

boneshatter ramping feels shit

stable shore
#

trauma stacker is basically dead now

#

well personally i think trauma stacker was a neat idea

#

although completely broken, so good riddance

trim portal
stable shore
#

to be honest i'm just happy stacking trauma became a top build in poe at some point omegalul

eternal sky
#

i wouldnt say top build

#

there are skills that just

#

mechanically

#

demolish what boneshatter is

stable shore
#

hum i guess you can't say top because of how costy it is

#

but with big investment it's genuinely absurd

#

EZ 10k delve

eternal sky
#

ur std brains too stuck

stable shore
#

nah it's doable in league

eternal sky
stable shore
#

in standard it's miles ahead though

#

wait i'll show you an item

#

that makes the build ridiculous

eternal sky
#

its just the chest right

stable shore
#

nah

#

that's probably the best boneshatter helmet on market atm

#

wait, i think there was another version better for it

#

this helmet gets entirely recrafted regulary

#

well basically you can change the two prefixes and implicits whenver you want

#

the idea is with transcendance keystone, that makes sustaining thousands of trauma easy

#

(with some help on other gear of course)

rugged island
stable shore
#

no elevated conc effect Sadeg

eternal sky
# junior oyster Any reason why?

because since he only gets to maps and quits he actually doesnt experience the game nor does he get enough curr to make an actual char soo he si stuck on some 88% life char for the entire league

stable shore
#

anyway trauma stacker stronk

#

but there are better melee build in std

#

you got vaal LS with 20B dps and isn't even expensive

eternal sky
#

yea idc about std

stable shore
#

or armour stacker spectral shield throw you can probably push to 50B+ dps

eternal sky
#

nor do i really care about builds that do dps that really doesnt matter

#

cus at a point of going over like

#

100m dps

#

nothing matters

#

ur already obliterating shit

stable shore
#

well i wouldn't say more than 100m dps is the useless point

#

but you're right

#

100m is genuinely not that much for some content omegalul

eternal sky
#

100m is plenty

stable shore
#

it is, but it can be usefull to have more for some content is what i meant

eternal sky
#

even on ubers its still 30mil

#

ur killing the boss in 2 seconds

stable shore
#

you could save 2 seconds FubukiOmegaGrin

eternal sky
#

like the only content u need redic dps is delve and delve only

#

not even honestly since the hp

#

just stops at like 1.5k or smth right

#

its just damage

stable shore
#

how so

#

you can skip phase and one tap boss in every uber except uber elder iirc

eternal sky
#

im pretty sure delve monster hp caps at like 1500 depth irc heard ben talk about it

stable shore
#

it's even possible to one shot sirus from phase 1

#

oh

#

i missread

#

wait, delve scaling caps ?

#

damage too ?

eternal sky
#

nah

#

damage is the issue

stable shore
#

only hp ?

eternal sky
#

yea only hp

stable shore
#

fuck

#

i was thinking i could go delve with my slayer then

eternal sky
#

because i remember him talking about how it doesnt matter if he gets more dps

stable shore
#

but i'm not tanky enough if dmg doesn't stop scaling

eternal sky
#

the mobs hp stops scaling

#

but the damage still ramps

stable shore
#

well personally i just like shiny gear

#

and dps comes naturally with it

#

but truthfully, none of the upgrade i did in 2-3 years mattered

eternal sky
#

yea stuff just

#

all dies the same

#

lmfao

stable shore
#

well it actually changed in defence, clear and sustain a lot

#

but dps aspect was always the same

#

from 500m+ i stopped feeling any difference

#

there was very rare instance where i could feel the stupid damage, but that's about it

#

for exemple in wave 30 simulacrum when i can't see kosis or omnophobia because they get one shotted by collateral damage when they spawn

#

or uber blight when you can run any tanky mods and still one tap boss

#

anyway, back to farming paglth'an for that sexy body armour transmog

stable shore
#

hum i half like it

#

the last boss is cool

#

but the first two are rather boring

#

i also i realized luna bahamuth has no head

#

it's weird

#

so what are macros good for in ff14 in the end ?

faint mauve
#

i only use macros for fishing/crafting

near hedge
#

depends on what you wanna do

#

the only real combat macro i use anymore is one for pvp to target the closest person, so it gives me two separate ways to target people depending on what i want

#

otherwise its just all hotbar stuff, and just random goofy shit

stable shore
#

i guess it can be usefull to announce mechanic when you lead a raid maybe ?

#

about targeting, what's the priority system when using tab ?

near hedge
#

depends on your settings. theres a few different ones

near hedge
stable shore
#

i think i should make it target highest health enemy if it's available

near hedge
#

normally you go for lowest

stable shore
#

well as a reaper i'd prefer highest

#

because i have many huge damage cds to use regulary

#

and i don't want to use them on a nearly dead thing

#

but at the same time, it's important that as few mobs are alive as possible to avoid any useless dmg to the tank

#

it's just a bit annoying when i target a low health enemy, start using a cd and he dies before i can use the following attack

#

oh ! also can i prevent my character from stopping and turning back to the targeted monster when i move while attacking ?

near hedge
#

ye autoturn is a setting you can disable

#

if not, there is a / command for it

stable shore
#

thanks

#

oh fuck actually that bricks my build omegalul

#

i end up with a rate of 90% of my action missing

#

well it's okay, i will lose a tiny bit of dps if i have big movement to do

near hedge
#

lol yeah healing is pretty much the only thing that it doesnt effect

stable shore
#

alright, let's see if this time bahamuth drops the fcking transmog

#

i think i did like 6 runs so far

#

wich doesn't sounds much but with npc ...

warped wren
#

@eternal sky rue's Voltaxic TS is fucking JUICED dood

#

I just swapped to it with fairly scuffed gear and underlevelled gems

#

It demolishes content

stable shore
#

8 runs still nothing

stable shore
#

9 runs nothing

stable shore
#

10 runs Deadlol

stable shore
#

11 runs

#

man that transmog better be worth it

copper pawn
#

what's this tornado shot lots of people talk about? is it the best build in game right now? I watch raxx and even he wants to swap to this build from his quite accomplished lightning arrow deadeye

stable shore
#

unsure if it's the best, but it has been at the top of the meta for a lot of time

#

crazy clear + abusrd bossing dps, pretty much all you want when you are a softcore andy

#

the big thing about it is damage scales extremely well

#

and the only limit is pretty much your budget

copper pawn
#

yeah I heard that build is at least 10+ div investment

#

btw now I'm doing yellow maps consistently, what filter should I use, currently using strict version of this

#

I should swap to these?

stable shore
#

i am not certain, but i don't think it works at this low budget

#

until then you're better off playing LA

stable shore
copper pawn
#

loot filters, I'm still using the leveling filter, strict version, so I wonder when I should swap to endgame version

warped wren
#

The cat is a wizard

warped wren
stable shore
#

that's kind new, in my book 10d doesn't even get you the needed bow

warped wren
#

Doomfletch + Ryslatha + Dance with Death from legion jewel

#

And if you extend the budget to 20 divs, instead go for Voltaxic Right with TS in Thunderfist Gloves and same legion jewel

stable shore
#

but where do you get your flat dmg ?

#

are you sure it's good, this sounds surprising

copper pawn
warped wren
#

It's insane

warped wren
stable shore
#

i know

#

but that doesn't explain where the flat is lmao

warped wren
#

Voltaxic is pure lightning, and Thunderfist has lv 30 added lightning support

stable shore
#

i'm aware

#

but i just wonder why this does good damage despite doomfletch having 0 flat

#

but maybe i'm putting in melee andy thoughts and it's just not an issue for TS

#

OH i see

#

doomfletch is of each elements now

#

it used to be one of the 3

#

i guess that compensates for the lack of flat

#

i see

#

either way fuck tornado shot for real, 7m dps on a budget this low ๐Ÿคฎ i hope it gets nerf hammered soon

copper pawn
#

how's its aoe, should be even more massive than lightning arrow right? and boss killing also better I heard

stable shore
#

1 click = screen dead

warped wren
stable shore
#

basically this build is the king of speed + bossing

#

it's a 11/10 on both aspect

#

there aren't many better bossing skill, even in league people are rocking 1 billion + dps tornado shot builds

warped wren
#

It's not a bosser

#

At all

#

At

#

All

stable shore
#

it absolutely is a bosser what the fuck

copper pawn
#

think its bossing is ranked lower than poison srs

warped wren
#

As long as Chain DD and VD of Seething exist

stable shore
#

what are those

warped wren
#

And Icicle Mines

#

And Ralakesh Ice Trapper

stable shore
#

why does it matter ? you can one tap ubers

warped wren
#

You're fucking trolling if you boss with TS

stable shore
#

????

#

it has hundreds of millions of dps single target ?

warped wren
stable shore
#

well yes, but that doesn't make it bad for bossing

#

that's an extreme statement

warped wren
#

Anything is great for bossing if you have infinite budget

#

Entire discussion is moot

copper pawn
#

it's not bad, but it's also not 11/10

stable shore
#

no but you don't get my point

#

those skills you listed are incapable of doing anything else than bossing

warped wren
#

If you're talking about efficiency, You're legit trolling if you think TS stands on the same pedestal as the builds I mentioned for bossing

warped wren
stable shore
#

they do not holy fuck

warped wren
#

CoC VD of Seething is a giga mapper

#

As is Chain DD

stable shore
#

it's as if you told me a train is slow because it doesn't go as fast as a fucking starship

warped wren
#

Ben is fucking mapping with it rn

#

Jung has been mapping with Seething VD since day 3

stable shore
#

i don't care, those skills being at the top of the meta doesn't make TS a bad bosser

warped wren
#

You're so out of touch it's comical that you're asserting your opinion

stable shore
#

idk what you are even smoking

warped wren
#

TS is, divine for divine, nowhere in the same league for bossing

#

You need to invest a mirror+ to kill Ubers with the same ease that these builds manage in like 50 divs

stable shore
#

whatever you say, i don't want to argue with you you pisses me off

stable shore
#

that still doesn't make it a bad bosser

warped wren
#

I mean okay man. Let's put a mirror+ on all builds and I guess 7/10 non troll builds will be great bossers

#

Very good metric

#

Most reasonable

stable shore
#

you're the person i hate the most arguing with, i'm not continuing this

copper pawn
#

lul what the hell is going on here

6 links is 1 thing but is there also foolproof way to get the colors according to how you want?

warped wren
waxen sonnet
#

Not foolproof. Nothing is

copper pawn
warped wren
#

You have Vorici in Betrayal to get white sockets

waxen sonnet
#

But can hedge your bets. Check Poe craft

shadow sundial
#

its not foolproof but you can force 3 sockets to be a color

copper pawn
#

does it affect the number of sockets?

#

or the links?

waxen sonnet
#

That would be real dumb lol

#

No

#

Chromes do one thing

shadow sundial
#

no, those ones affect the socket numbers

#

did you read your crafting bench? ๐Ÿ˜›

waxen sonnet
#

He doesn't really do... That

shadow sundial
#

ok i'll see myself out then

copper pawn
#

is it just me or poison srs is quite a cheap build for bossing? like only around 1 div for the 3 unique items, and ashes of the stars can be replaced with more budget +1 all skill gem amulet

warped wren
#

I've killed most Ubers with it and I don't even like bossing particularly. And I did it back in Sanctum, Charms make it even stronger now

#

Best part about Poison SRS is that it's just a comfy all rounder. Reasonably quick, reasonably tanky, great single target, reasonable clear

copper pawn
#

I reckon the clear is a bit worse than guardian srs, but at high map tier, its overall capability is much better?

warped wren
#

I'm not a 100% up to date on minion meta, but the new spectres this league are insanely good. I'm fairly sure at the absolute top end, Necro is way ahead

#

Necros are farming Valdo's Box maps ffs

#

Like literally fucking farming

#

And those maps are NOT a joke

copper pawn
#

did I happen to just hit the jackpot again?

shadow sundial
#

looks like a bunch of them are unsold around 2-30c, so.. no?

#

also that is a very flexible definition of jackpot

warped wren
#

Doubt that's any good outside of niche stuff

stable shore

finally

only took like 7h

i dont like the random muscular armored chest on a dress or the metal plate boots

if u like it then you slay queen dont let anyone tell u otherwise

stable shore

well it took me 7h to farm this chest so i intend to use it lmao

actually julius caesar

rugged island

#

hum i was afraid it would be something i can't unsee

#

but i don't mind it actually, it's more of a patern

#

i like muscular plated armour

simple needle
#

ye it just looks like nipples from afar

#

not up close

daring shore
#

i think it looks good

#

just not the skirt

#

that does not fit

#

imo

#

put on some armor

stable shore
#

the skirt is built in

daring shore
#

or pants

stable shore
#

well the idea is i want a plated armour that looks girly

#

so i thought showing some thighs would do the trick

#

but i can't actually remove the skirt thing without removing the armour

daring shore
#

you are showing like 0.5% thighs with those boots

#

that skirt achieves of no such things

stable shore
daring shore
#

then ditch the long ass boots and pu on somethin else

simple needle
#

froxy have u ever played mishimas

daring shore
#

not really

stable shore
#

wait, i'll go to my chamber and show you other pair

simple needle
#

my mishima is so dogshitg im starting from zero

daring shore
#

mishimas do require some level of knowladge and dedication than i am willing to give

#

its a process yeah

#

you can get far in 1 game but mastery will come with time

#

as mishimas dont generally change

#

i guess you only have 2 options as chars now anyways

stable shore
#

those are the only other boots that are somewhat fitting

#

i have a pair in mind to use, but i didn't unlock the dungeon yet

#

i can also do that

near hedge
#

i think the first boots work better with that chest piece

near hedge
stable shore
#

or that

#

but no thighs

simple needle
#

peasant shoes ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

stable shore
#

this might be ok ?

#

whatever, i'll just use cristarum boots until i unlock the fell court of troia

#

troian boots of maiming will perfect it

near hedge

could check out the pvp sets at wolves den. i think some of those could look decent enough

junior oyster

PoE super laggy for me today dunno why

copper pawn
#

same, but now ok, was ping 400+ for the past 1/2 day

#

after this 1 week of playing the game, I realize div orb is actually not that rare, I think at most the level of vex rune in d2, maybe even an ist

daring shore
#

servers are eating shit apperently

#

bc it started yesterday and i did die to a lag spike

#

it was not consistantly bad tho

copper pawn
#

how good is block spell dmg compared to suppress spell dmg?

vagrant topaz
#

You can't get 100% spell block

copper pawn
#

is it important for unset ring to have +2 levels to socketed gem?

waxen sonnet
#

If it's important to you

copper pawn

I intend to put determination there

#

don;t think 200 extra armor will make or break anything

Forbidden jewels are very sought after, understandably so

can you use orb of annul on currupted items?

tried to google but can't find answer

no

copper pawn

what about using eldritch orb on them?

I don't think you can use anything but Tainted Currency

do we have tainted version of those eldritch orbs?

man, just got my +2 minion skill and 30% chaos res helm for real cheap, and my 1st bench craft got it to all 4 correct colors, now only need to link them

#

too bad no spare prefix slot, can't craft the 8% physical to fire

stable shore
#

I should actually get both later tonight

junior oyster
#

Just when I finally thought I had a chance in my ironclad run I lost again...

copper pawn
#

shit, I replace my helm with new helm, place spectre gem there, and lose my spectres lol, wtf game, why

junior oyster
#

Resummon them

copper pawn
#

I did, press raise spectre, skeleton appears

junior oyster
#

Which spectres did you use and are you holding A to view what spectres are on the ground?

#

A is I think the default button for viewing spectres

copper pawn
#

there's nothing on the ground, I'm at hideout

junior oyster
#

Use consecrated ground skill

#

desecrated*

#

It will spawn the corpses for you

waxen sonnet
#

Spectres aren't made from nothing

copper pawn
#

I did, only skeleton appears as well

junior oyster
#

What spectres were you using?

copper pawn
#

forest warrior

junior oyster
#

Is that from the league wildwood area?

#

If it is I'm not sure how those spectres work but I guess you have to resummon them

#

I mean rebuy them

copper pawn
#

can't they just make it like animate guardian or something? removing gem and put back or put in new gear piece should not affect anything at all

eternal sky
#

Skill issue

copper pawn
#

I see slot for large jewel, but not medium, where do you place medium?

junior oyster
#

In large jewel

#

It goes like this large -> Medium (x2 possible) -> Small (x2 possible)

junior oyster
copper pawn
#

I'm fine with AG perma death actually, coz at least you don't lose it when you remove gem, spectre is another level of annoying when you replace gears

junior oyster
eternal sky

i mean

#

its 1 c

#

-4c

for all the spectres u need

literally dirt

forest warrior is cheap yes, naval officer is not lol

eternal sky

but you didnt have a naval officer

soo its fine

yeah, but at least it costed me some c to find out, better than I find out when I have naval officer
