that's not possble coz the same flask you use should give immunity to bleeding as well

#

oh wait, are they the same?

#

physical dot vs bleeding

desert jasper
#

Not necessarily
blood purge just deals physical dot that's not bleeding

#

Like Reap or Exsanguinate causes physical dot that's not bleed or corrupted blood

hexed stream
#

I see I see, then that boils down to sustain of the build

Can also just either burst the boss down or kill the clones to stop it

Collected lots of essences but no idea how to spend them...don't see any normal items for a long time

tawny sand
#

oh, but yeah you need normal items

#

i didn't see the last part

desert jasper
#

The higher tier ones do also work on rare items

tawny sand
#

is poe2 gonna get a pre-load?

Yes
a few days before the launch.

#

Also a lil new thing to learn u can 3 to 1 few thing in to Poe rather for higher version or reroll mods

#

Not sure but I think first 3 essences of the tier u need a normal item and the 4th and on going recrafts rares

#

Essences need their tab I think to upgrade them in to higher tier ,I don't actually know how to do it outside of it ,rest items u sell to vendor 3 things he give u new same item type with different mods

due to me being unable to post picture in general i am here to ask

should i upgrade attunement instead if i run spriggan+crow instead of the red statline?

hexed stream
#

such a great autoreply

#

😅

fierce moth
#

I always feel odd that hear the reason of people play le is because it's the empty duration to wait poe 2 ea is out

#

So they're just play le a bit while to chili then jump in the team of trying poe 2 from zero

hexed stream
#

always need something to fill the gap

#

at least you can do that with games, can't do that irl

fierce moth
#

🤔 I can feel the feeling they're expressing by their actions is le just a casual game for the gap. I'm not happy for that

hexed stream
#

compared to poe1 and 2, LE is indeed too casual

#

also LE endgame is not very fun

fierce moth
#

🤭 Le aim to be friendly for new players so it can't as difficult as poe for sure

sand wigeon
#

no i think LE is just bad tho

fierce moth
#

I never feel le is very easy and casual before I learnt poe

sand wigeon
#

like the endgame hasn't changed in five years

fierce moth
#

If every ARPG must own so much gameplay as like as POE, many new players must break down 🤭 the level of understanding all of them is more

#

but too less end game contents in le indeed

mental talon
#

LE is pretty much my offseason game at this point but if I'm being honest with the pace they're going with additions etc it's slowly turning into a check in on it in a few years angle. I played the hell out of LE too tbh, just not gonna wait forever. Still really like the devs tho.

sand wigeon
#

ehg isn’t a small company but overtime it’s became clear that they’re not the most competent

fierce moth
#

I feel the end game of D4 is the most boring one...or maybe because I just play helltide and I can't offer its dlc...Anyways I'm limit between poe and le now

#

The best thing is I still learning poe so I don't need to worry about the gap like minimap

junior oyster
#

At least the multiplayer aspect of d4 makes it a little fine. Can't say the same for le.

fierce moth
# mental talon

You have played le 2k+h, so you have played all masteries in game and try many builds of them?

mental talon
fierce moth
#

I guess...Maybe i shouldn't play that because I just interested in...Driving cars hhhhhh

#

omegalul Forza Horizon 4 is a better choice for me

#

👀 I'm a fan of Benz couples

#

Which games should I purchased during autumn sale is a big question to struggle because more games on my wishlist will release on next year... 🤭

ebon meadow
#

LE and D4 are still green games they are still new to be main game for ARPG players there's nothing bad of them they just lak content because they not 10 year old game

#

They l get there I hope so we all can just rotate between them that's the goal

#

Now how fast they can pull up content is another thing , GGG set a very high bar on content after PoE2 introduction and it's also been developing for 5 years plus

#

And the reason GGG could actually pull it of in my opinion because of selling shares to Tencent so they can hire a whole team instead of splitting the current one to make PoE2

#

Unfortunately money makes things happen faster in many ways

fierce moth
#

@hexed stream I feel what the interesting thing is I'm checking out the other game which developed by the same game studio and publisher of titan quest 2, it's spellforce 3

#

The only weakness is this game release on 2017 so it's a bit outdated on graphics 🤭

#

Never play any RTS games so no idea can I accept RTS & RPG gameplay

fierce moth
ebon meadow
#

Put it in a funny way ,Tenc just put a case without bottom on table and said we have some shares and u keep doing what u doing we like it omegalul

#

And the Asia version of game probably has another team completely game is different there

#

Just sensoring everything that's not aloud in China like blood ,skull and stuff requires so much work when it the main theme for the game

#

Outside all the loot pets and stuff

#

They even have a death cam even if it's not accurate and it just says what was the last thing hit

fierce moth
#

Ok done the autumn sale shopping. I guess no one here like playing puzzle games? It's normal anyways

fierce moth
ebon meadow
#

Wait is it a really just for China ? No other country from continent has it

#

I actually don't know

fierce moth
#

Chinese for Chinese only of course 😅 😂

ebon meadow
#

U guys have a lot of outside islands and country's around

#

Ohh I used the terminology because the Asian release had a race witch was for China

#

It was China agains EU and US

#

I thought like whole Asia got the same release

fierce moth
#

😂 ........Indian, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese can't read Chinese is normal

ebon meadow
#

No no I know that omegalul

#

Hope I wasn't offensive lol i just generalized because we call that version Chinese because of the release race was hosted there

#

It might be a version for Chinese client ,time to Google

#

Taiwan has same client so it's mostly for Asia and Indonesia

fierce moth
#

🤷‍♀️ I don't see any news about Tecent client of poe 2 will release ea

#

All contents about poe 2 in Bilibili and xiaoheihe posted by Chinese is GGG client only

#

🤭 Remind me of I never play any games on wegame. No idea how Chinese version of poe is going

ebon meadow
#

Depending if GGG separated the company's for each game like a different SL. or something

#

They might have no rights for it or it's just going to be later

#

That stuff works different

#

Not even sure how Blizzard do it neither for world of warcraft

#

When I was playing Lost Ark I learned that our gaming works a loooot differently in a lot of ways

#

For example Korean Reddit is very important for them socially

#

Community wise social wise it's very different I don't dislike it it has it rules that make people learn from very young age

#

Just be a person not a idiot ,I like that

#

Comparing it cod MW2 lobby's there is a very big gap in behaving

candid sage
#

Ok wtf is this mustard thing that is all over social media? I have missed something

ebon meadow
#

i havent logged in to facebook or twiter in like year or more no idea what are u talking about xdd

#

outside poe2 comparing to d4 meme drama i know nothing gregory

#

and even there i still dont know whats going on and if i would i would probably go back to smack talk and getting banned from platforms

candid sage
#

Trying to avoid as much poe2 stuff as possible

ebon meadow
#

i try avoid discutions

#

and trying to be hype for the game

#

thats all i need

#

me push buttons in game not on reddit xdd

#

last time i poted on forums broke out a 4 year + war in game

#

aparently people dont like when u dont agree with their complains

ebon meadow

ohhh

that is diferent

thats my sauce

#

"Lucky" in PoE is the same thing as "Advantage" in DnD and BG3. It means you roll twice and take the best result.

#

Also if you need normal items for your Essences, you can use an Orb of Scouring to turn any item back into normal. It's a very basic and cheap crafting item.

#

Lucky Spell Suppression is probably the strongest damage mitigation you can obtain early game.

#

Since most bosses do spell damage.

#

Eventually when you can reach 100% Spell Suppression Chance, you don't need Lucky Spell Suppression. You only use Lucky when your suppress chance is less than 100%.

#

For classes that have easy access to Spell Suppression on the tree, 100% suppression is almost always worth it because that's garaunteed 50% damage reduction from all spells. It's insanely good.

hexed stream
#

either you go suppress or you go block with svalinn, can do both but that's gonna be insanely expensive

gilded elm
#

I don't think any classes on the left side of the tree has easy access to spell damage mitigation, only avoidance with spell block chance. So yeah, probably need a unique if you want to fully cover that gap, but at least that side of the tree also has plenty of life nodes to compensate.

#

Oh cool, I see the PoE2 keys for eligible lifetime spenders has been sent out.

ebon meadow
#

yea i think they have been at it for last 12 hours lol

#

from what i m reading today

gilded elm
#

Hype, in my library now 😄

ebon meadow
#

yes sir

gilded elm
#

I didn't know this is a feature. This is a good feature. Screw Lost Ark lol

hexed stream
ebon meadow
#

thats why enjoy steam lol but u guys get pre patch earlier

#

like it would matter lol we all start same time but u can sort of datamine

gilded elm
#

I don't even know if the standalone launcher has any means to preload the game. We know for sure that other platforms like Steam, Epic etc have that functionality though

ebon meadow
#

The lock screen is still my warlock though

gilded elm
#

IMO it's a bad game with some really good aspects to it (mainly just raiding, that's the only good thing about Lost Ark). But even raiding has some really bad aspects to it, for example the fact that it doesn't respect your time lol

ebon meadow
gilded elm
#

True, Lost Ark does have some of the best ARPG combat I've ever played.

ebon meadow
#

It feels so connected when I hit

#

It feels so nice and juicy

gilded elm
#

I wish I could go back, I could so easily get sucked into the game, but that would just be disrespecting myself lol

ebon meadow
#

just 8 time less for me

#

hol on i have my rouster ss here xdd

gilded elm
#

I can't log in to check roster cuz game not installed, but I do have a somewhat updated Lost Ark Helper

#

As you can tell I quit a long while ago, probably before Brelshaza Hard mode came out

ebon meadow
#

no i dont wait

#

where did i seen my roaster pics lol

#

i stoped way before Brel

gilded elm
#

Oh man, seeing my roster brings back some urges. I really, really REALLY loved playing my Arcanist.

ebon meadow
#

i miss my striker and sorc

#

hada freaking spell turret for sorc

gilded elm
#

Better not have been an ignite sorc

ebon meadow
#

it was

gilded elm
#

Ew lol

ebon meadow
#

xdd

gilded elm
#

I mean it is or was meta, but yeah. Much prefer Reflux for the faster-paced playstyle

#

Of course, Lost Ark is/was a game where burst damage was always much much stronger than everything else.

#

Because of phasing

ebon meadow
#

wait

#

u are right ignite was the slow meta version

#

my sorc was reflux

#

literally a spel farter

gilded elm
#

Oh nice, good man. Ignite may have been meta, but Reflux is what the gigachads played

#

At the time at least, Reflux was also technically more DPS over time, it just performed worse than Ignite because raids largely depended on bursting through to the next boss/raid phase.

#

I played all the off meta builds, like Perfect Suppression SH, FI Wardancer, AT Machinist, whatever the non-Deathblow build was for Striker etc

ebon meadow
#

ESO striker was my main but i mostly try to play everything

gilded elm
#

That's right, Eso... Esoteric... something? Maybe

#

Esoteric Flurry

ebon meadow
#

yup

#

i deleted all my screens apart from poe and osrs lmao but i m sure i have a backup folder somwhere

#

it was eso striker and reflux first characters for me

#

then was the fun one arti

#

goku soulfist

#

it was fun have daily burdens to do in game the world works great generation of events and boses to

#

if it wasnt for weekly and stuff cap and the p2w things the game would overcome wow in maybe 2-3 years

gilded elm
#

That daily/weekly burdens are the things I hated most about Lost Ark. I still hate those things and I still believe it's the single big reason why the game fails to attract newer players.

#

I don't hate that they existed, I hated that they were basically mandatory.

ebon meadow
#

i mean u had to do chores to gets mats daily

#

or swipe

gilded elm
#

Not just the daily chores, but also the weekly raids. You had to do weekly content on 6 characters to maximize your rewards.

ebon meadow
#

like repeating end game content like boses at the end would just end up botting to like the main problem it had

ebon meadow
#

f Valtan

gilded elm
#

A single character's daily guardians and chaos dungeons would take a minimum of 1 hour, you did those across ALL of your roster, so all 12 characters in my case. For weekly raids, you had to do them on 6 characters, each raid could take hours.

#

I love Valtan, one of my favorite legion raids. Easy, simple, quick.

#

If only every raid was as smooth as Valtan

ebon meadow
#

yea but like u say , u have to do it with wole roaster and i if like me with random people

gilded elm
#

Trying to pub Clown or Brel were the real nightmares.

ebon meadow
#

not that like i was good

gilded elm
#

Or even Vykas before Smilegate nerfed G1 because so many people were bad and failing the colored orbs.

ebon meadow
#

that i remeber xd

gilded elm
#

Doing Valtan with your whole roster is a lot easier than doing any other of the legion raids is mainly my point.

#

Valtan is the easiest legion raid.

ebon meadow
#

it was the first one

#

i just suck at pizza

gilded elm
#

Trying to do clown? Nah that's like a 50/50 chance at getting jailed in G2 or G3

ebon meadow
#

like actually my worst mechanic

#

i have done a looot harder rides in other games but put a pizza phace i m done

#

same reason i hate maven

gilded elm
#

I don't remember any pizza in Valtan except maybe... the pizza slice move

ebon meadow
#

yes its the memory game

gilded elm
#

Pizza in Valtan that I remember is just he targets 1 player with a pizza slice, and that player just has to dodge out of it before it goes off.

ebon meadow
#

oh no then i m confusing

gilded elm
#

More people probably fail Argos pizza than Valtan

ebon meadow
#

its same as memory game from Maven

gilded elm
#

You maybe are thinking Argos, which wasn't a legion raid

#

Just some random google image, but this is the Argos pizza

ebon meadow
#

yes thats the one

#

end me omegalul

#

i hated it and when i actually pull it of someone else fails it xdd

gilded elm
#

Like most raids in the game, it's just a matter of recognizing the patterns haha.

#

I actually really enjoy mechanically complex raids.

ebon meadow
#

Brel raid looks actually insane

#

probably best raids i ever seen

gilded elm
#

Brel was really fun when it came out. G5 was probably the worst gate though.

#

My favorite gates were G4 (the cube) and G6 (the last gate)

ebon meadow
#

visualy lets be real not a lot of games come even

#

cube phase is goodbye brain

gilded elm
#

Cube is hit or miss, depends on party and also RNG... if your party is bad, you kinda hoped for good RNG lol

#

I think generally getting yellow first was ideal, but I can't remember the exact mechs for the colors.

ebon meadow
#

i m hardly remembering the raid just the scenematic

#

now u made me remember the lore and why i took Avesta tittle

#

sadegg

#

my favorite part of lore

gilded elm
#

I barely remember any of the lore.

#

Avesta, sounds like the name of that Vern Queen's knight, maybe

hexed stream
gilded elm
#

Was hooked, yeah. One of the best games I've played in a static friend group.

tawny sand
#

ah having a friend group to play with makes sense, less toxicity

gilded elm
#

Lost Ark isn't a game you can realistically play solo without some kind of static group, whether it be friends or a guild.

#

You will get gatekept in raid party finders, for good reason. People have to run 6 weekly raids for maximum rewards and when each raid can take upwards of a couple of hours, you don't want inexperienced strangers inflating that into 5 hours of jail.

hexed stream
#

imagine playing solo in MMO

#

god forbid you to have fun

gilded elm
#

Solo here just means playing with other people outside of friends or a guild, through party finder. I think there's room for such people to have fun, but the game's design currently is just fundamentally opposed to that playstyle because it demands a lot of time from players to maximize their weekly rewards. This leads to a rather unhealthy mentality within the community where players are often discriminated in parties based on their experience with the content. Nobody is willing to teach new players or give people a chance at gaining experience.

#

To be clear, it's a game design problem. If a game community is toxic or unwelcoming, it's almost always a game design problem.

hexed stream
#

fomo or so it's called

gilded elm
#

I wouldn't say it's FOMO, although FOMO is a bit of an issue as well. For example, Path of Exile mainly earns money by FOMOing supporter packs that will never come back. That Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) from something limited edition creates a sense of urgency for many people to spend money. It's considered a predatory marketing strategy, but by itself isn't really that big of a deal.

hexed stream
#

lucky I'm not a victim of fomo, being an advocate of japanese minimalistic lifestyle myself irl

gilded elm
#

Yeah, it's just a state of mind. You can choose to ignore it, it's just that a lot of people obviously struggle with that. "Oh no, this thing will never be available again, so I must buy it now"

#

So it's not exactly an "ethical" marketing strategy, but it's one that's also fairly easy to just ignore.

#

Especially in PoE's case where that's basically the only "bad" thing the game does in terms of its monetization, so I'm more than okay with them capitalizing on FOMO the way they do.

exotic wave
hexed stream
#

yeah, ironically indeed, but I guess people there are polarized, 1 camp is after fomo, another is in thrifty domain, very little in between

totem > caster/ranged physical > minion > the rest for me

desert jasper
#

I've never really enjoyed totem builds
Something with them just doesn't... click? with me

fierce moth
#

Never play totem build yet

desert jasper
#

I used to try totems every league
even got quite far with a few of them but I always have massive problems with survivability on them

#

But haven't actually played them since Delve league, I think
back then I tried winter orb totems... and it turned out to be bugged.
the totem would stop channeling winter orb when a target died
and start channeling again
so it was extremely inconsistent damage

hexed stream
#

not with poe though, I don't like totem in poe

fierce moth
#

No idea how to play totem in le, maybe I will figure it out one day

#

Poe... Let me figure out mine hexblast occultist at first

maiden widget
hexed stream
#

totem is not exactly a skill, it's a playstyle

#

tower offense playstyle as I like to call it (opposite to tower defense)

#

also now I understand why warrior class in poe2 supports totems, it's a very misleading class name, the more I dive deeper, the more this class looks like primalist in LE

fierce moth
hexed stream
#

minus the shapeshifting though, there's another class taking that role

#

I wonder why poe1 never has shapeshifting archetype

desert jasper
#

Probably would've needed a bit too much rigging + engine limitations

#

Wouldn't be surprised if it was pitched in as an idea and then they realized how much it would need
and decided to just put it to PoE2

That art style on game environment and characters is classic in Chinese games and they have a name is 二次元 in Chinese. They're popular in Asian countries specially

#

Huanglong is indeed its first region. Naturally heavily China-coded. 🙂

#

Still beautiful nonetheless.

fierce moth
#

As a Chinese who want to enter game industry, I can't appreciated games with that art style 🙃

I vaguely recall there will be cluster jewels eventually, but if anoints come from Deli, then surely cluster jewels won't also come from Deli

I m sad I want my delve

#

There was a scene witch basicly like delve azurite nodes but it's inside deli

sand wigeon
#

heist isn’t in yet either

#

i’m sure we’ll get new alt game mechanics like that

gilded elm
#

I think Delve is popular enough we'll see it in one form or another... not sure about Heist lol

#

They might take PoE2 as an opportunity to really revamp Heist

junior oyster
gilded elm
#

The whole gearing part does get kind of annoying lol

junior oyster
#

I also hate sanctum but it's in poe2

ebon meadow
#

Pls no more doors I beg lol

#

Sanctum is horrible to but I guess I can deal with it

gilded elm
#

How damn rare is this stupid Nimis card lol

mental talon
#

Also Sanctum and Ultimatum being back as Lab is like Jonathan walked to my door directly and asked me what I want in PoE 2. (Now I just need Heist, Delve and Betrayal and I'll be happy)

#

And the 3rd Trial has been heavily hinted to be TOTA? You love to see it

gilded elm
#

Well, at least Lightning Coil cards were really easy... only took an hour or so to farm all those cards

junior oyster
#

I'd rather have lab over sanctum

#

I really really hate sanctum lol

#

I guess my alternative will have to be ultimatum for ascendancies

ebon meadow
#

Lab of it wasn't for traps it would be fine but I hate it with all my passion lol

#

Same goes for sanctrum xdd

#

On announcement the first lab they introduced I was like scared I m not going to play the game at screw that

#

Then they sort of fixed it with options

gilded elm
#

I never really had issues with traps, just throw on some regen and problem solved usually

ebon meadow
#

It's fine on anything when it main is not witch or trickster

junior oyster
#

Yea maybe in the boss fight traps could be a problem but not in the other areas

ebon meadow
#

They have really bad time mitigating % Phys damage

gilded elm
#

Yeah only if boss room spawns traps, that can be tricky

#

Even Vitality gem alone would probably be enough even for a witch

ebon meadow
#

Yea so Uber lab

gilded elm
#

Just for traps

twilit mountain
gilded elm
#

But really a couple of life regen mods goes a long way with labs

ebon meadow

Yea but I m to lazy to respec just for lab lol

I like my chars have they set up and no need to adjust for some content

It's braaaaaaaaaanchiiiiing Exile

#

Delve on top. (But screw building for Delve)

ebon meadow
#

really ?? that sounds like unintendant since they are all ele curses and have their tags

#

that is so weird

gilded elm
#

Who knows, could be intended or not. Elemental Weakness would need to have the Fire, Cold and Lightning tags for it to be accurately tagged, then it would be considered an elemental spell (as long as it has one of those tags)

ebon meadow
#

it should have them all though

ebon meadow
sand wigeon
#

wha

ebon meadow
#

the heist thing

#

i really dislike it but a lot of people mains it

#

after the actual league and the call of steel nerf i never like the heist anymore

#

but seeing people in events maining it and how the play got some sort of respect from me

#

for me its

sand wigeon
#

okay

ebon meadow
#

even sanctrum runners have my respecs lol , hey if u like the aspect who am i to judge it

#

me opening doors and getting obliterated from proj instantly was not fun

#

but i am a spell caster main so yea , hit first before u get hit

#

yea i sometimes dont have fun there sorry for bad quality

#

thats not even reflect lol

#

and thats a jugg rf that can facetank most of hits in game

gilded elm
#

This Nimis card is fake, it doesn't exist. Game is lying 😡

#

I should check my filter to be sure... even though I already fixed it once

#

Oh... S-tier, well okay. This will take a long time lol

#

Alright, screw Nimis. Nimis sux.

#

Does this actually increase your Action Speed while Chilled?

ebon meadow
#

Nimis is actually a very rare drop lol

ebon meadow
#

Ohh I see now sorry I can't read

#

The last line

#

Does chill affect Ur action not speed though ?

It asked a good question, no idea how long I played poe until now

Steam can show how long you've been playing any given game.

#

Assuming you're playing PoE via Steam, of course.

#

This is my own PoE playtime.

#

...yeah.

Talk about almost instant burnout.

fierce moth

I played poe 160.7h so far

#

Chinese can't play poe on steam so... I use in-game command

#

Their survey is buggy...Sigh

gilded elm
#

Using a mod to change GD's time scale to 1.25x and it feels a lot better, not just the character but also things like item drops. Still not sure why Steam's game recording feature records such low FPS mouse movement though

Hexblast Mine I believe

Mind posting your build?

fierce moth
#

oh I have five orbs of regret now. Change the ascendence panel...

sand wigeon
#

your passive tree is kinda a mess

sand wigeon
hexed stream
#

also, this is not a suitable ascendancy to play hexblast

#

it's like pulling an introverted IT man to do sales job

Can use gold to respect to if u have spare

yeah occultist was a choice

#

witch is not the hexblast character

hexed stream
#

fierce moth
#

😢 😅 ......

fierce moth
fierce moth
hexed stream
#

or put it another way, occultist is not the best to play hexblast

#

so you have to pick if you want to play occultist, or you want to play hexblast

fierce moth
#

which character is the best choice for mine hexblast build?

#

... I play that character based on the core skill I want to play...

sand wigeon
hexed stream
#

trickster

sand wigeon
#

here just swap to this

fierce moth
#

what the hell....hexblast isn't suitable for occultist?

sand wigeon
#

it's not very optimized but it's infinitely better than what it was

#

and no hexblast is not an occultist skill

twilit mountain

#

Shouldve just gone with minions 😂

sand wigeon

skitterbots

twilit mountain
#

Skitterbots my beloved. Free damage and defense for like 1/5 of my mana, hell yes I'll take that.

sand wigeon
#

it'd be like ~30c? maybe ~50c

#

at most

hexed stream
#

since it's already a level 86 occultist, maybe show something @fierce moth can play with the class

sand wigeon
#

i did

#

oh

#

sorry i misunderstood

hexed stream
#

can't advise to change class at this point

sand wigeon
#

look if they wanna play hexblast play hexblast

#

but there was a lot of fixing available in that tree

twilit mountain
#

Like, it'll work it's just worse than Trickster by a large margin. Partially cuz Trickster is probably the best class in the game right now.

sand wigeon
#

yeah the updated build i posted is the same ascendancy and level, kirra

#

so it shouldn't take more than some chaos and regrets to swap to

fierce moth
#

omegalul emmmmmmm yeah I feel the character choice is wrong after i adjusted the passive tree a few times but I still don't feel I know how to balance.... Playing occultist is like I'm using marksman skills to play sorcerer 😅

mental talon
#

If you want to play Hexblast Occultist it isn't a good all around class. Hexblast Occultist is usually a Sanctum runner because you play the I have 1 HP and infinite damage game. But for a general mapping etc. build you will be cooked because you aint got no defense. (not counting Elementalist PBrand for Sanctum this league with Ghost Wands obv)

sand wigeon
#

also you were running a shield

#

which was a choice

twilit mountain
#

Shields on top side that aren't Svalinn omegalul

hexed stream
#

😅

fierce moth
#

Witch, a wand and a shield is normal

sand wigeon
#

so the build you sent has about 86k hit dps

fierce moth
#

But... Mine damage isn't relevant to wand at all exactly

sand wigeon
#

the one i sent is about 1.1m hit dps

#

your ehp is slightly lower but that's a fake number anyway.

twilit mountain
#

Shields are bleh unless you have high investment or are near enough shield nodes (you're never near enough shield nodes unless you're like... Duelist)

esp if you're killing things roughly 11x faster

d4>poe2

gilded elm
#

Probably a big login queue, if I were to guess

tawny sand
#

hopefully we don't get an error 52 for a week lmao

gilded elm
#

Doubt it, but maybe. PoE is largely an instanced game (but then again, so is D4) so most population related issues should be isolated to systems like login/chat/exchange, just a speculation though.

tawny sand
#

hopefully

gilded elm
#

Difference between error 52 with D4 is I have more trust in GGG lol

tawny sand
#

idk if i'll get to play the night of it'll be pretty late

#

but maybe i'll get to play some in the morning

gilded elm
#

I just hope they made significant improvements to their server architecture so that they can automatically upgrade/replace instances without having to shut down the entire backend. This is something D4 does very well, they just let outdated shards expire automatically when the last player leaves and get replaced with an up-to-date shard.

tawny sand
#

i'm guessing towns is the only real place that matters? idk

#

for poe2 i mean

#

since it is instanced maps mostly

gilded elm
#

It matters everywhere, everything is an instance, even town

tawny sand
#

oh ok

gilded elm
#

town is just an instance with multiple people

#

without needing to be in a party

#

but there can be multiple town instances for example on a highly populated server

#

D4 has shards, which are kind of like instances. Each shard has a limit of 12-16 or so players. Shards as a concept are only really relevant to the "open world" in D4, as far as I know. Each little small "area" in D4 is basically a shard and the transition between shards happens seemlessly, that's why sometimes you are blocked by air because you couldn't be loaded into the next area's shard lol

tawny sand
#

ah, i always wondered what that was

gilded elm
# junior oyster D4 doesn't even have diablo lol

At least it will in a follow-up expansion, should get a reveal of all Prime Evils throughout future expansions, per Rathma's prophecy (Mephisto first, DIablo second, Baal third, same order as D2)

junior oyster
#

And that might take forever. Might as well release d6 by then

#

This one expansion we didn't even get to fight the 'real' mephisto

gilded elm
#

Yeah they're stretching it out lol

#

So it might even run longer than D3

#

In terms of a live service

junior oyster
#

Apparently they said there would be a new exp every year but I don't see that happening

#

It's most likely every 2 years

#

Good thing they got a very simple skill system in place for any new toons

gilded elm
#

VoH didn't really feel like a beefy expansion, I think they could flush those out yearly, Blizzard tends to do concept work very early so they usually have an idea of what they'll be working on years in advance. For example Vessel of Hatred was already in development before D4 even released.

#

Probably took longer than desired to release, but they did also have a lot of snags with reception for like 3 seasons + season 0 lol

ebon meadow
#

I mean we like it to call por diablo like because of the guy from Bliz North visits the studio occasionally lol

#

And D2 was a big inspiration for Poe

#

That's why the rumor that Poe is a successor of D2 more than actual diablo 3 omegalul

hexed stream
#

Need to wait 10 more months

gilded elm
#

I'm fairly confident Blizzard can put out a D4 expansion every year, so much so that I'm sure they will brute force it by any means. The real question is, how much planned content will they have to scale back or cut out completely in order to meet this deadline?

ebon meadow
#

The problem is they can put that expansion out but it's how they get pushed by investors to release it before they can finish it and polish the content

#

One expansion a year is very doable

#

But for the price they put on things it has to work tip top no issues

gilded elm
#

What if Vessel of Hatred was actually supposed to be a much bigger expansion where we do actually kill Mephisto and then ending is cutscene with Diablo's return? They just decided to split the expansion up into 2 because they couldn't finish and release it soon enough haha. Obviously crazy speculation, except I hate that it doesn't sound that crazy.

hexed stream
#

Or they want to spread it to 4 seasons to have more time to work with it

tawny sand
#

Okay so
They typically are at points where you only have 2 paths.
so you look for one of those on your map and then go to the darkness from the point in there (towards the secret rooms)
and you should be able to find the wall.

What's a good map to scry? I'm trying to optimize Nimis farming, so if I do get a Seer to spawn in Residence... which map is best to connect? I was thinking Toxic Sewer, one of my favorites. But I also have no idea about optimal card farming maps.

#

Oh, Jungle Valley seems to be a popular map to scry into.

Actually, you know what... screw Nimis. Actually is way to rare to reasonably scry, I think.

#

Hm, I wonder if I just stumbled into a PoB bug.

#

Svalinn gives you Lucky Block Chance and PoB will factor this into your effective block chance, but combined with the Versatile Combatant keystone (+2% Spell Block Chance for each 1% Overcapped Attack Block Chance), PoB thinks my block chance is overcapped based on the Lucky Block Chance lol

#

Oh, well maybe this isn't actually a bug.

#

Yeah nevermind, it appears to be correctly factoring the pre-Lucky overcapped block chance.

#

It just caught me off guard in the calcs tab

#

Svalinn + Versatile Combatant is 55% Max Block Chance, that's correct.

#

With Lucky Block, it's effectively 80%, also correct.

#

To cowgirls

gilded elm
#

Still around 9 mil DPS short on being able to handle ubers lmao

gilded elm
#

(that's with Guardian/Pinnacle config, I need around 3m on Uber config which is around 10m on Guardian config)

gilded elm
hexed stream
#

Oh, I don't use that

gilded elm
#

VC is that node around Duelist tree that gives you more Spell Block per overcapped Attack Block

#

You don't really use it if you have Spell Suppression

#

But just playing around with it

hexed stream
#

You may try to get 1 jewel slot for replica I forgot the name, 6% both block chance

#

Or rumi flask

gilded elm
#

I'd probably be better off maxing Spell Suppression because that's guaranteed damage reduction at 100%

#

I just can't seem to make my way to the Magebane keystone atm

hexed stream
#

My build, if I want both spell suppression and max block with svalinn, will need MB

#

Too poor for that

gilded elm
#

Max Spell Suppression is super easy on a Dex build with Magebane keystone

hexed stream
#

But for now I'm tanky enough I guess, pob shows almost 200k ehp

gilded elm
#

Usually Lucky Spell Suppression is "good enough" for softcore any way

hexed stream
#

Mine is pathetic 10% haha

gilded elm
#

It's super worth if you can spare the points, especially when your Spell Suppression is mediocre (not bad, but also not good)

hexed stream
#

I can't for now, like I said, I will need MB to have both block and spell suppression

gilded elm
#

Yeah, if you can afford to pick up Spell Suppression at the expense of Spell Block Chance without sacrificing any Attack Block Chance, it's def worth I think.

hexed stream
#

Although my build is already worth at least a mirror haha, progenesis and all those expensive jewels

gilded elm
#

Unless you heavily rely on "on block" triggers, of course

#

Which, using Svalinn, you might lol

hexed stream
#

Wait, still have sigil of power and frost shield

gilded elm
#

Yeah, if you can get by on blocking attacks only, then spell suppression is way more value than spell block, assuming you can make that trade without sacrificing attack block.

#

I feel like Svalinn procs enough on just attack blocks alone

#

And there is the .25sec cooldown on Svalinn triggers as well

#

At this point though sounds like you got solid defense, I wouldn't even bother considering Spell Suppression unless you can get 100% (without Lucky chance)

#

I do wanna see how much tankier this feels though lol

hexed stream
#

Atziri however still can 1 shot me

gilded elm
#

You sure you aren't just dying to her reflect damage?

hexed stream
#

Wait, she has?

gilded elm
#

Yeah during the 4 clones phase

#

The one holding up the mirror is 100% reflect damage

desert jasper
#

She always has passive reflect
but yeah, the shield clones do reflect everything (but chaos)

hexed stream
#

Lol, no wonder, at least 4-5 portals were spent on those 4 clones

gilded elm
#

Yeah if you don't have precise targeting with your damage skill, you probably need to pick up reflect immunity just for that fight.

hexed stream
#

Can you do that with spell? Ele reflect immunity

gilded elm
#

Yep, a few ways

#

Easiest is probably Elemental Mastery + Soul of Yugul

#

That's something you can quickly change and change back without much investment

hexed stream
#

Will I need that for maven the feared as well?

gilded elm
#

Nope

#

Just the Atziri fights where you use the Sacrifice/Mortal fragments, I think

hexed stream
#

Must be mortal fragments
But I got lots of those from div cards while doing strongbox strat

gilded elm
#

The Apex of Sacrifice (Sacrifice fragments) is supposed to be a good gold farm if you got a ton of those.

#

Lots of magic packs

#

I need to figure out how tf I'm going to get 9mil more DPS without trading gear lol

#

That's only the minimum too... ideally I can get a lot more if I wanna comfortably handle ubers

#

Anyone knowledgeable in SSF know the transition path from Guardians to Ubers, gearing/build wise? Do I just have to try and go crit, at this point? https://pobb.in/Ely1F6StWyX0

#

Most likely just need a better weapon + uniques with good damage scaling, just not sure what in my case lol

#

I kinda screwed myself for most of this character because I didn't realize NeverSink's filters actually assume you are trading and will hide a lot of stuff from you that are very useful for SSF lol

#

Such as the Lightning Coil cards... lol

hexed stream
#

I thought timeless jewels only drop from legion?

gilded elm
#

They drop from the Domain of Timeless Conflict. You farm the fragments to get there from Legion, yeah

#

2 or more emblems of different types to access that area

#

Each emblem will spawn a General for that faction, you kill and respawn each General over and over as many times as you can. It's the Generals who drop the timeless jewels.

hexed stream
#

I saw people always do 5 😅

#

Respawn?

#

You mean you can endlessly spawn a boss with 1 single map set?

gilded elm
#

Ignore the choppy mouse, but yeah the generals will respawn (with an internal cooldown) whenever you go to the middle. The idea is to kill each general as many times as you can. As I understand it, people will party up with each player focusing on killing one general over and over.

#

It's kinda fun, would be more fun if my damage wasn't garbage lol

gilded elm
#

Hm... maybe this is something I can use if I can stack enough Dex

im looking for a directional speaker setup for my PC to avoid sound leaking into adjacent rooms so i can play LE in peace and talk to friends. I also need a mic that won’t pick up speaker audio, preferably unidirectional and good for gaming/voice chat. Any recommendations for either? Budget is flexible, but I want practical, effective options.

fierce moth
#

Ok GGG want everyone play it at the same time not someone can go at first

gilded elm
fierce moth
#

just want to search what's Fextralife

hexed stream
#

some say he's a scumbag

gilded elm
#

Fextralife is an organization that was somewhat recently the subject of a viewbotting scandal. Their website has high quality SEO that gives them high page ranking in search results, so they took advantage of this to embed their Twitch stream on their website.

fierce moth
#

oh yeah I guess because of this video but it's not available already

gilded elm
#

Yes, GGG is admitting they made a mistake in communicating the embargo to Fextralife.

#

But every major game will release a review copy that is almost identical to the release version for journalists and critics to review the game.

#

Normal industry practice

fierce moth
#

Current case let me want to try poe 2 more to be honest. These famous streamers keep chatting their opinions with their audiences everyday on poe 2 channel of twitch...but no one is playing it. All of them are plans

gilded elm
#

Nothing else they can do, so that's what they do.

#

They're bored of PoE1 and their viewers are hyped to play PoE2

#

So most PoE streamers are just talking about PoE2 while everyone waits together lol

#

This is the first time I've ever seen a game category on Twitch be so popular for days/weeks before the game has even released, it's kind of crazy.

fierce moth
#

The scale of poe 2 waiting room is insanely big

gilded elm
#

Biggest I've seen on Twitch, ever. lol

#

Waiting rooms usually die out very quickly, but not PoE2

#

Every day since the major announcement has been just waiting room streams

fierce moth
hexed stream
#

do I have enough to complete this challenge?

gilded elm
#

Maybe? Needs 2 of a different kind minimum to open the portal

#

But also they're cheap too

#

The emblems

hexed stream
#

25 rewards easy to get with just 2?

fierce moth
gilded elm
#

Ghazzy is probably right, the real issue with this is the fact that GGG gave Fextralife access in the first place.

hexed stream
#

keep dropping the good stuff

gilded elm
#

Nice item that's probably just gonna brick any way 😛

hexed stream
#

gonna sell it and get the div to do other challenges

tawny sand
#

and they never edit it to be correct

gilded elm
#

These sites make tons of ad money from search engine traffic.

#

People who don't know any better are always going to click the highest ranked search result when they're looking up info, they generally have no idea these sites are wrong or super outdated, which maintains their search ranking.

tawny sand
#

i use bing and it brings it up first

gilded elm

Works well enough, but maybe I should just try something different like Bing lol

#

what does it mean while delirious or you are delirious?

fierce moth
#

oh my god... I just know poe 2 release event is hold when I'm still learning how to play le (new to le) so this year is pre-hyped duration of poe players

#

Not interested in poe 2 videos on youtube because I can guess what are they talking about so I go to bilibili to check out how Chinese players reacts

gilded elm
hexed stream
#

idk, doing challenges now

gilded elm
#

Deliriousness is just the fog as far as I know, being in it makes enemies Delirious, not sure if it make you Delirious.

#

"while Delirious" sounds like you need to do the challenge while the Delirium fog is active (whether in a Delirium map or in a mirror encounter)

sand wigeon
#

If you go through a Delirium mirror, YOU become delirious. The enemies aren’t real, they’re manifesting due to your delirium.

#

Se yeah, it just means “while a Delirium encounter is happening.”

gilded elm
#

Apparently monsters in the fog are always delirious, in both cases. Mirror encounters have a scaling Deliriousness based on how close you are to the mirror, while Deli maps have a static Deliriousness%

hexed stream
#

so this is just 1 blight scarab and 1 delirium scarab?

gilded elm
#

I guess you just have to get the timing right

#

Probably don't want to go through the Delirium Mirror until the unique monster has spawned in a Blight lane

#

Or... I don't know if this is possible, but if you have a Delirium map, maybe you can use a Blight scarab with it, not sure.

#

Oh actually I think there is an Atlas passive for Deli that makes it so the mirror fog doesn't expire

sand wigeon
#

There’s an atlas passive keystone that makes that easier

#

in fact idk the price in necro settlers, but after I sold it, I searched on settlers, and there are 2 quotations: 5d from 2 months ago, and 50d from 5 days ago

idk, it seems like a really expensive one
