The funiest bit for me was i got it\
and immediatley got a lesser jewlers.
like, lol
cosmic owl
wave 5 wtf
hm, bricked the instance
Speedy fucker on the respawn point kills me if I make an input
knotty glacier
That sucks 🙁
keen dagger
no longer interested in delirium in poe2 really
i hope they rework it to not be grey same music juice mechanic
cosmic owl
i managed to finish it but i died 30 times
someone joined to help
Between us we probably died 100 times
keen dagger
hoogh
cosmic owl
I think it took 40 timed deaths to clear that screenshot
We had to zerg the pool of mobs off the entrance portal
Oh, I forgot to send the screenshot
keen dagger
I managed by figuring out you can take portal then spawn in a slightly different space. then Monk teleport skills to drag them from the portal. then I get a few hits in and can usually clear. still takes several attempts each rotation
cosmic owl
I managed by figuring out you can take portal then spawn in a slightly different...
Probably is, I'm a blood mage, and the portal and checkpoint were ontop of eachother
keen dagger
yeah I'm just saying I was fortunate because my class gave me a leg up
keen dagger
it would be more reasonable if the boss waves didn't instantly spawn 5x the mobs when the bosses show up
keen dagger
I thougght they got rid of all the teleports
it's more of a dash but you can get out with it if yr lucky.
solar vigil
Did anyone else have a lot of trouble with the trial of chaos bosses in a3 this time around or is my build just bad rn
I can’t beat for the life of me
keen dagger
I died because the tornado bird was there the first time but the fight against the puke bird was fine
keen dagger
what's your life and tooltip dps?
cosmic owl
Did anyone else have a lot of trouble with the trial of chaos bosses in a3 this ...
I was pretty okay, and my build was really not good at that point
keen dagger
if you get bad trial options or the tornado bird it's basically a wash ime
well, tornado bird less bad if Ranged
knotty glacier
I died because the tornado bird was there the first time but the fight against t...
Tornado bird is a shithouse -.-
I* think my Grenaditican is gonna struggle a bit, since it can jump out of the nades
Thankfully, i got plague burd
cosmic owl
Tornado bird is a lot esier once you learn it
But the first time you see each mechanic it will kill you
keen dagger
yeah unfortunately I've only fought it like 4 or 5 times and didn't catch the wind ups
gonna try a bunch more trial of chaos this league because my build feels really bad for trial of time
knotty glacier
Even when you know it, he does a lot of damage and can just one shot you
or could for me back in .1
i did not really do a lot in .2
Hit endgame, hit a wall real fast on Bleedazoon, did not want to respec to Elezon andj ust went fook this, i'm outr
keen dagger
luckily I was on Smith of kitava maces and it was just solid right out of the gate
unplayable into chilled ground or temp chains though lmao
and I once got the monster action speed bane in TotS and literally couldn't hit monsters between their attacks
knotty glacier
Oh this is neat
knotty glacier
Uhm, lol. Killed a t3 map boss, got t5 waystones
i think the game is sending messages
cosmic owl
Shroud walker + the degen that stops potions is brutal hoooly
knotty glacier
Yeah, it's goddman crfiminal there's no micro to permantly unlock an apperance
cosmic owl
woooo
fervent raptor
oh hey a 20% one, too
cosmic owl
oh hey a 20% one, too
I had a live search up
And dropped EVERYTHING
Also holy shit, getting snap on trigger bound to move + defiance has changed my gameentirely
cosmic owl
my kingdom for my 3rd trial
If your build struggles with sekhema, buy a lvl 77 (not 75) ultimatium
they're like 1/3 to 1/5 the price
cosmic owl
That's fourth trial
75 is third trial
Fourth trial is doing three level 75s to get the keys to unlock the trialmaster fight
cosmic owl
what does the modifier mean on the ult?
Which key it drops
fervent raptor
oh right
knotty glacier
I think, but cannot prove, it also tells you which is the final boss
fervent raptor
I didn't do much endgame in previous patches haha
cosmic owl
yea neither
I was about to drop this league if the definace didn't fix the issues ?I was having
Literally doubled my exp/hour on survivability alone
fervent raptor
niiice
I'm reasonably okay in the surviving bit, just looking for damage now
and hey would you look at that my next ascendancy is 30% more damage
cosmic owl
argh shit I forgot dying to a map boss despawns the whole map
just lost a juisced map to a crit
whoops
fervent raptor
rip
right, lets see how this trial goes
hoping I get a skill gem drop doing this, too haha
fervent raptor
okay holy shit I was not expecting the Rings of Doom to be so large
knotty glacier
@fervent raptor what level skil lgem do you need?
fervent raptor
oh, I'm in a trial dw
just idle thought for damage purposes
two bosses down
I've got volatiles, blood globules, rings of doom and the stalking shade - most of my time is spent ducking and diving 
fervent raptor
okay I got ground degen nuked all of a sudden
stalking shade on the follow the statue thing is misery
knotty glacier
Yeah, tyhat's a rough combo
i generally avoid stalking shade if i can
It's not undoable, but it combos so badly with other things
fervent raptor
oh shit we're out here activating Halo arrays
knotty glacier
? The towers? or ?
fervent raptor
yeah
kind of dual pronged tower pointing upwards that when activated charges up a pulse of energy in the gap between prongs that it then beams up at the sky
knotty glacier
It's fine
fervent raptor
eyy got a tink
knotty glacier
sigh that was a furstrating deaht because i went from full and doing fine to abyss laser and my hp is gone
keen dagger
I was skeptical of abyss lasers doing damage because I swear I've stood in em before
I think the graphic is just not a good display of the hitbox
knotty glacier
It wa something ,my hp just drained in less than a second
and boom, i was dead
very annoying because otherwise i'm ba sically invincible in t5s
Really do need to upgrade my non weapon gear, but i was trying to see if i could get to 80 without replacing a chunkj of it
just so i had more options when replacing it
knotty glacier
cosmic owl
stalking shade on the follow the statue thing is misery
My experience has been volatiles and stalking shades are instant nopes
fervent raptor
volatiles I'm fine with because I'm playing DoT
the shade probably would have been fine because I had like, 2 rooms left before I exploded
it was just very awkward to try and do the one room
in fact volatiles is one of my preferred mods because it does so little and doesn't affect the boss at all lol
knotty glacier
Huh
divines are dropping in price vs exalts
guess all the new crafting stuff is really keeping hte price of exalts up
keen dagger
divines are useless until you're trying to perfect an item with 6 t1 mods anyway so they have been overvalued forever
fervent raptor
my understanding is that divines in poe2 have value because chase items have big (and relevant) roll ranges
cosmic owl
divines are dropping in price vs exalts
Everything is; yesterday was a very strange day
exalt:chaos went from 3:1 to 1.2:1
chaos:divine went from 42:1 to 65:1
knotty glacier
Well, after the insane inflation last league, and even back in .1
it's nice to see
keen dagger
my understanding is that divines in poe2 have value because chase items have big...
right I guess that is a good point. thunderfist is expensive to start with and if you roll well it's worth 200 div
keen dagger
you're ranged dot you'll be fjne
fervent raptor
yeah just did it, but so many things to dodge lmao
cosmic owl
Well, after the insane inflation last league, and even back in .1
This week has had some fairly gnarly inflation
Definace went from 16div x 21 chaos when I decided I wanted it to 23div x 65 chaos when I purchased
knotty glacier
Ouch.
cosmic owl
My feeling is that the lack of quick harvest fixing of items is making the economy a little top heavy
keen dagger
harvest fixing?
cosmic owl
I can't search for a max 2 prefixes, triple resist ring, and then use either the harvest crafting system or bench crafting system of poe1 to get life on it
Instead there are essences which kinda do the same thing
keen dagger
ah right
cosmic owl
But randomly, instead of putting a weak guaranteed affix on
fervent raptor
ngl essences are super limited
cosmic owl
But I think those "1 affix off" rares were an important part of the economy for lower orbs
keen dagger
now they fuel the recombinator I guess?
fervent raptor
you can kind of see that in how much preserved desecrate items are
cosmic owl
If people even know the recombinator is there
fervent raptor
because they give you a little bit of filtering at least
cosmic owl
You still gotta do expedition and then place it in hideout and work out how to use it
Compared to search for a mid ring, put life on it, map happily
keen dagger
preserved desecrate with an omen lets you look at 6 mods yeah
cosmic owl
you can kind of see that in how much preserved desecrate items are
About 10div of my purchase was entirely in selling omens
fervent raptor
anyway, 30% more damage woooo
cosmic owl
Sadly I have 5 upgrades to get now
- rathpith globe (650ex)
- atalui's bloodletting (850ex)
- snakepit (350ex)
- either kaom's heart (300ex) or a 1k+ ES armour (340ex)
- tecrod jewel (580ex)
keen dagger
hooogh
cosmic owl
Which is interesting in that people are no longer listing stuff for divines
I guess exalts are more granular
keen dagger
and yet they're still in increments of roughly 70. curious
fervent raptor
there's also a phenomenon with listings when relative prices of currency changes rapidly
because GGG has to manually update the conversions
cosmic owl
Probably to stop someone dumping a bunch of currency and sending the entire market off kilter
fervent raptor
Ex : Div is currently ~70:1, so 5d should be ~350ex
searching by "Exalted Orb Equivalent" on buyout price is currently listing this 5d Snakepit at just a little over 585ex
so if you're searching for items it's worthwhile just checking the actual raw div listings separately atm
this cropped up before a while back in PoE1 when chisels skyrocketed in price - people were listing items on trade for chisels which drowned out chaos listings as the trade site thought the value of the listing was a lot less than it actually was
so some hideout warriors were making bank by buying the cheap (actual value) chaos listings and flipping them for chisels, because unaware people would be buying them for that on trade
anyway here endeth the soapbox rant, have a clip of birb
keen dagger
what is that red glowing circle
fervent raptor
"Rings of Doom" - hits you for phys if you're in the ring when it explodes
...literally bought an ult to do that, first map I open drops a 3 floor barya
keen dagger
good area
knotty glacier
Yeah, i burned a Grand Project just to make it a bit easier to grab everything there
ideally i'm gonna knock out the exp map then those two deadly boss maps, hopefully get good supprots for them deadly bosses
and sell for Mucho good
Oh, and there's anotehr viridan wildwoods in range too
keen dagger
I have two of those right next to eachother but I've been focusing on getting the perfect essence chance so I've been trying to do corrupted areas
I guess I should do at least one
that's points
fervent raptor
why do ults and baryas count as Fragments for affinity? 
also holy fuck give me my fragment tab GGG
keen dagger
why do breach and sim splinters count as fragments but ritual fragments count as ritual for affinity
fervent raptor
my guess would be that breach and sim splinters are holdovers from PoE1 where they fit into the Fragment tab, while ritual splinters are new and distinct from the bloodsoaked splinters in PoE1 and whoever did the metadata for them fucked up
knotty glacier
Cool cool coool
crash to desktop during map boss fight
if this looses me the map
Thank fuck
lol
keen dagger
poe2 putting you right back where you were after a crash is a great feature
keen dagger
I don't think I've gotten anything worth anything from an anomaly drop yet
only done 2 but they've both been 1c
knotty glacier
I cant even find what this sells for on the currency exchange
nothing is showing up 🙁
keen dagger
no one wants it
fervent raptor
1ex
keen dagger
lot of crap
fervent raptor
anything easy to get is going to be cheap 😛
knotty glacier
anything easy to get is going to be cheap 😛
It can also drop a 11div one is the thing from teh asame map
fervent raptor
sure, but that's going to be a low% chance to drop and so not easy
knotty glacier
Yeah, i just had my brain being dumb, oh well
knotty glacier
Ugh
I am at the point i need to go gear shopping and upgrade
and this bit always gives me a headache
solar vigil
Finally in a4
cosmic owl
I don't think I've gotten anything worth anything from an anomaly drop yet
I've done 5, none worth more than a c
knotty glacier
i got one worth 18 exalts just now
so that was nice
Garrukun's Resolve, which is Crit chance bifuractes after moving enough
knotty glacier
Zarokh down, got me a time lost cache, so that's nice
knotty glacier
Tomorrow i will pick peoples brains to get help making some weighted um searches os ic an upgrade... everything that's not my crossbow, lol
cosmic owl
Weighted searches with pob2 being unreliable will be hell
knotty glacier
Weighted searches with pob2 being unreliable will be hell
Oh? Is mostly my armor and jewelry that needs updating. My damage is fine, I'm just a bit squishy
cosmic owl
Oh? Is mostly my armor and jewelry that needs updating. My damage is fine, I'm j...
You can do it more or less manual though, its fine
Theres not as many layers to consider as in 1
yet
keen dagger
so nice to come back to this
(i probably got robbed when exchange rates changed but oh well)
got a div on my first map 😌
keen dagger
wow i see why everyone is using ice strike instead of tempest flurry. the numbers are just better and it teleports you lmao
cosmic owl
Any thoughts on why this map node is inaccessible?
keen dagger
was there an anomaly near by?
they seem to fuck up connections
big ups for 60ex
tooltip on ice strike over 100k now. actual dps much higher cus charged staff and etc.
knotty glacier
Could i get some help when folks around figuring out some good weighted searches to help me upgrade my armor and belt/rings?
I have like, a general idea of what i want and should be aiming for
But i'm not feelign the most confdinet about spendign a bunch of currency lol
slow jasper
5-200
I love electricity damage
keen dagger
really bothers me how some major boons are considerably worse than half the minor boons and some are just, well you can do whatever the fuck you want now
knotty glacier
Yeah, they are very silly
I liek the overall idea of sekehmas
in some ways a lot more than Infinite Maps
but it's got Prrrrrobblems
(Tbh, my idea with the amps would make it not infinte - have like 3 directiosn you can go, each leads to a citadel, clear the citadels, this unlocks burning monolith, clear burning, the entire map resets)
so you've always got goals of some kind
keen dagger
well anyway i froze zarokh and heavy stunned him then killed him after he got one attack animation off lol
was a lower level trial though
keen dagger
i can probably spare some
keen dagger
jewelry is expensive
knotty glacier
i can probably spare some
lol, i'm good
I'm just jealous after i got shit all from ym attempt 😛
knotty glacier
jewelry is expensive
I would, however, seriously appreciate your help coming up with filters, or at least double checking mine when i've put them together
keen dagger
I don't know how to weighted search that video is just on my to watch list cus I've seen ziggy do it on stream
knotty glacier
Ah
RIP
Well, i managed to score this with weighted searches, so ya know
not bad
keen dagger
yeah that's great
knotty glacier
The desecrate was mine, but still a nice hit
This is waht else i grabbed.
Which is all rpetty solid
Decided to keep my curent belt
I'll replace it eventualyl since i'm way overcapped on cold res
keen dagger
that shouldn't be too expensive to replace since the life roll is dismal
knotty glacier
Yeah, i'm just down to like... 30 exalts atm
so i wanna go farm up more
and also think about replacing a lot of my armor
knotty glacier
Well, that'll help get some more exalts
picked this puppy up from a ritual
It's not like amazing amazing
but it's a solid 30 exalt ring?
keen dagger
6 good mods yeah
knotty glacier
And a chunky amount of resist on it - tthat's what, 65% max res on it, which is very nice
Nearly half your lighting and cold res just off that ring aroune, good rarity, amazing amount of life
Actually looks like it;'s closer to a50 exalt ring
so
NICE
I'll list it at 55, it sells, amazing
it doenst
eh
Can just keep cutting the rpcie slowly
knotty glacier
Also, for a nyone running Tacitan
Unleash is genuinely very stroing now
I'm pretty the DPS on it lies, because this thing just hits like a truck
cosmic owl
wahaha
keen dagger
oh god
cosmic owl
Ignore the number, thats just a seed
The important thing is that it switches the notable from some random minion one into one that makes life costs 50% bigger, but also regens life spent on spells over 8 seconds
Its a slightly spooky build because my fireballs cost like 500 life and 500 mana to cast
But once the leech and hp/mana on kill and remnants stack up it feels awesome
keen dagger
just never get stuck around one of those cant recover above 50 mobs
big x down
has anyone seen an abyssal lich or an invitation? im level 91 and i still havent
solar vigil
LFG
IN ACT 4
thats maybe the best drop in acts ive had across both games, im on ice strike monk
oh huh
i thought this build used it
keen dagger
don't need it baby
knotty glacier
Okay, they've fucked something up with the corrupted blood in trials of chaos
it does WAY too much damge, way too fast
knotty glacier
No, tghis is a lot worse than it used to be
i did chaos trials a lot, it would do damage
but never "you just get dleted from full because the beam skimmed you for a second or less"
fervent raptor
okay Hollow Palm Glacial Cascade feels good to play
hits tingly bits in my brain
especially when you have access to T5 supports and can immediately grab multi-fissures
knotty glacier
T5s being so cheap is nice
Also ,boo, it looks like my next body armor upgrade is going to be like... 1 div+.
So probably time to sort out belt first, i think? Have upgraded gloves, rings, amulet so far.
Oh, btw @keen dagger - i tried out the defend with 200% armor, max phys res is 50% - you're right. at least with the build i'm going with, it felt pretty arse, incoming damage was noticably higher.
Much comier to just spend the last 2 asc points on whatever - I can have better totems, reduced reservation costs, or Unleash.
Using Unleash right now, because it's actually a pretty strong extra damage option, and you can make it Impale, which ends up shoving three impale stacks into something for a chunk of phys each, and then your grenades pull those out, so that's nice?
reduced res is probably "Better" on a techincal level, esp if you can somehow fit in a banner on your skill bar, but this is still v nice
fervent raptor
...I feel like Ice Strike must be one of the GGG higher up's pet skill or something jfc
knotty glacier
I just wanna know how lighting deadeye keeps getting away with it <.<
keen dagger
i love being right when i postulate
fervent raptor
LA DE is also a product of streamers ngl
basically all content creators put out a build for it because it was arguably one of the least changed builds that we knew of
and so a whole bunch of people are playing it

the damage is just straight up higher than tempest flurry and it also teleports you like ???

did you have a lot less regen?
knotty glacier
did you have a lot less regen?
Dunno, i'm comparing to previous experiences. I should ahve more if anything, givne i have a lot more max hp than last time and a decent amount of % max hp regen
keen dagger
it definitely shouldnt be so bad for you considering you also have a lot of phys reduction? not sure how armour affects pure dots
keen dagger
tried cruel sim again
still sucks
did get a divine and an 85 astramentis though so worth
13th wave had monsters suck charges so i couldnt get charged staff online, then the bosses spawned at the same time and died
cosmic owl
A story in 2 parts
knotty glacier
it definitely shouldnt be so bad for you considering you also have a lot of phys...
Yeah, that's why I think something is fucked - I lost 3 trials, all to corrupted blood beams
The first time I was like, okay, I face tanked that, that's on me
The second and third times? I just got murked out of the blue
... So it looks like Dots aren't hits, so armor does nothing directly, and because the beams are just being applied directly, you're just getting the full non mitigated damage over time effect
As opposed to any other source where it's like a skill that hits you then applies it based on post mitigation damage
keen dagger
yeah I was thinking about it after I posted and figured armour wouldn't do anything
fervent raptor
blood mage or elementalist?
You don't have mana as a blood mage haha
So that's a lifetap
keen dagger
of right
fervent raptor
Which iirc has a big cost multiplier on it?
keen dagger
yeah I know kotarou was mentioning the lineage life tap
not a big deal if you're gaining 200% as phys lol
fervent raptor
I recall none of the lineage stuff being useful for my Lich
There's maybe something there for OSin Monk though? I kinda feel like I should be doing something not monk though just to be a bit different - not outrageously sold on Chalupa ascendancy
Also that'd be nearly 400% as extra Phys, right?
knotty glacier
I recall none of the lineage stuff being useful for my Lich
There's one that inverts enemy elemental res
They have 75% fire? No they take 75 more fire damage
fervent raptor
Sure but I'm playing chaos dot so
fervent raptor
Given it only flips ele resists, it does not
I kinda want to put together poison spark??
A modern classic
cosmic owl
blood mage or elementalist?
blood mage
I don't actually have blood magic allocated hrm
fervent raptor
Oh I thought BM removed mana fully, my bad
Blood Magic would double your life cost apparently so maybe don't do that 🙃
cosmic owl
nah, you just gain 15% life cost + health orbs
then alatui's + blood trasnfusion + sacrificial blood
fervent raptor
Blood for the Blood God
cosmic owl
Its a terrifying build to play
Life is meaningless
At any point your orb is either empty + full of leech/recoup pending, or full
And neither actually reflect distance to death at all
cosmic owl
yup
fervent raptor
Can you check how much Xoph's Pyre is?
cosmic owl
sure, lemme finish map

Can you check how much Xoph's Pyre is?

Hmm, that's okay I suppose

I still want to do Team crossbow as a meme sometime.
Tactican+ Crossbow Specters
Just shoot anyone who gets in your way
cosmic owl
Utterly terrifying trialmaster fight
I had an instance hiccup halfway through
But luckily my build is sufficiently tanky that I survived a boss fight for 30s before regaining control ahaha
fervent raptor
I have a clip somewhere of falling asleep doing PoE1 A5 Innocence on HCSSF and bringing it back lmao
That's why we build defenses!
fervent raptor
Oh holy shit a lvl 30 plasma blast is 7135% DE, 5708% effective for ignite
That's uh, pretty fuckin huge
And then just fully hit based chaos on weapon 1, ezpz

solar vigil
act 4/interludes spoilers ||just beat act 4, so glad tavakai lived. im curious if A5 is gonna be a condensed version of interludes since like, there was an ENTIRE CUTSCENE and all this content they made of "ok we gotta unite wraeclast and avengers assemble her" it would be weird if all that content went to waste in the final game||
||or if a5 is actually oriath i have no clue what a6 would be||
cosmic owl
Given GGG, probably a6 would be summed as "well well well, the consequences of my actions"
solar vigil
||yeah, maybe. if GGG is removing the interludes, the a5 may be oriath and then like. oriana is the final boss there and she gets corrupted/killed, and now the beast is out of control||
||it might go back to highgate to go back to sleep lol||
||although, we know the beast doesnt really have a will of its own||
cosmic owl
They have a lot of options for continuing plot lines from 1
solar vigil
||or, a6 is "somehow, kitava returned" LMAO||
cosmic owl
I wouldn't be surprised if A6, or one of the later acts after it, simply is the foundation of the current end-game
Like the act is expressed through a corridor of map nodes to the first nexus of corruption
solar vigil
well we know theres only 6 acts
cosmic owl
So far they've generally done a good job of tying the plot and mechanics together more than poe1
solar vigil
yeah
cosmic owl
So I expect a lot more of it
solar vigil
the justification for endgame may be doryani being like "hey can we go back and unfuck 300 bic please" after the main plot wraps up
cosmic owl
Theres a nonzero chance hes final boss
cosmic owl
ol' mate kept contingency plans away from queen atziri
Theres no way in hell the current party know everything hes up to
solar vigil
yeah
cosmic owl
And if you talk to the a3 npcs, a bunch of them have a lot to say about him and his ills
So either hes suss as fuck, history got warped, or someone specifically demonized him
solar vigil
||yeah, maybe. if GGG is removing the interludes, the a5 may be oriath and then ...
||If this happens and we have to chase the beast to finally put it down in a6, maybe the twilight order does something to it that gives it a will of its own||
cosmic owl
I like that || the vault, while people in it had gone a bit kooky, was generally not a giant shitshow of murder cannibals.... just people who got a little too much religion ||
solar vigil
||If this happens and we have to chase the beast to finally put it down in a6, *...
||maybe they stick a leftover bit of kitava in it :0||
cosmic owl
||If this happens and we have to chase the beast to finally put it down in a6, *...
|| I'm expecting those dickheads to try use the power of corruption to ressurect their god ||
solar vigil
The interludes could be repurposed into a campaign skip
solar vigil
|| I'm expecting those dickheads to try use the power of corruption to ressurect...
||well they don’t like gods||
cosmic owl
Honestly I like the interludes
I expect that you'll pick one of three to get a character buff in release
Instead of doing all three
solar vigil
Hm maybe that could be a5
Like bandits in Poe 1
||so my bet is that they’re gonna try to use the beast to supress the gods again||
cosmic owl
||well they don’t like gods||
yes, but || as-is the gods can still be brought back. If they want to remove them, they need to kill them far more permanently than the current approach ||
solar vigil
yes, but || as-is the gods can still be brought back. If they want to remove the...
Huh fair, ||we did hear tukohama again in tavakai’s fight||
solar vigil
||so my bet is that they’re gonna try to use the beast to supress the gods again...
||but, obviously that will backfire||
cosmic owl
Huh fair, ||we did hear tukohama again in tavakai’s fight||
Also we still have to go back to complete that quest line
solar vigil
Also we still have to go back to complete that quest line
Wdym
cosmic owl
Wdym
|| Some of the ancestors were feeling antsy and refused to do the trial we were going to do in the heart ||
solar vigil
Oh yeah
cosmic owl
So at some point we've gotta go back and do that, presumably after || tukohama browbeats them into agreeing ||
solar vigil
||that’s them probably saying “hey we had to cut TOTA for time but it’s gonna be the 3rd ascendancy trial”||
keen dagger
did we encounter the twilight order before ? I can't recall
anyway them being called the twilight order makes me think they are more just directly trying to end the world
cosmic owl
did we encounter the twilight order before ? I can't recall
nah, they're new
Also one of their paladins hateflirts with you if you're a witch
which is pretty cute
keen dagger
I didn't go there before the last part of a4 so I think I missed a bunch
gonna do a4 in a different order when I run acts again
but I wanna do my first arbiter before that

I'm kinda getting board with ice strike cus it's only 5 buttons tbh
knotty glacier
also @keen dagger I hate to say it, but at higher waystyone tiers it turns out Stay Light takes over again and is good - once monster damge starts going up, you're just not ever actually hitting the 50% normally (at least, not as a merc), so doubling your armor is very, very good...
and the 50% cap is onyl for physical. Any Armor to element conversion? You better belive that's getting doubeld.
I mean, i dislike having TOO many buttons, but i prefer having to think and aim a bit
rather than "Press same button, entire screen dies":
knotty glacier
I'm on t12s and it's made difference
keen dagger
yeah ice strike is 90% hold mouse 1, refresh charged staff occasionally and for bosses and rares press m2 once and drop a bell on them. sometimes you press tempest wave to shock or clear from half a screen away but it's 90% hold m1 and move by volume. Definitely better than a poe1 build.
you also don't really have to aim because it flicker strikes kinda

So I take bulwark to get hearty for the life regen scaling, so sacrifical blood heals ~2700/8 seconds
So after my first spell cast I have ~500life regen/s, and once blasting it reaches about 5200

Fuckl it, i think i'm gonna do this crazy Siege Cascade/HVR build

Even right now with a not super optimized setup, it's pretty damn effective at just slicing through packs
Also would give me two more jewel sockets and things
And makes it easier on mana sustain and a bunch of other stuff (dont need to spend mana reloading a siege cascade that you roll reload)
Also if it turns out to be a diaster i can always yo uknow

Okay, bossing is a little annoying, jsut becuase it's a bit more buttons
but like... you just spam flash grenades, throw HVR on things
and then frag round them apart.
In a pinch, rolling and doing seige cascade still actually rips stuff apart, so, ya know
And i can make that much smoother by just getting a megalomainc with irreparable on it
(Doubles armor break duration)
In fact, boom, someone had one with Tough Claw as well
(25% increased attack damage)
not bad for 40 exalts

rubbish
knotty glacier
Eesh, divines are contuining to climb
Still, even with some stupid deaths etc
Chaos is proving very profitable
i celar pretty fast, i've tweaked my build to be a better bosser and that's helping
and i'm piling up the exalts burning through keys a lot faster than if i was doing maps
so that's nice
The chaos res core is very common, that goes for like 30+, the +ES recharge is like 40+
Even the shit ones tend to be at least 3 exalts or so
knotty glacier
That;'s probably a good argument
knotty glacier
Oh, yeah, i already c ashed in a 127 exalts for a divine.
knotty glacier
A few more tweaks later, yup, this build kicks arse
keen dagger
what are you doing again?
knotty glacier
Ratha's Siege Cascade for clear, Uruk's Flashbangs to break boss armor -> HVR -> Riegewal's Ferocity Frag rounds + Attack speed maxing Rampart Raptor setup to then disintergrate bosses
So you mostly just run around killing everything with Ratha's Siege Cascade - Roll, fire 3 trimes, roll... everything dies
and then with bosses, throw a flashbang, armor evaporates, hit them with the HVR, switch to the frag rounds and unload, boss hp evaporates
Amazon can do the boss killing "Better" since it has an easier time getting a lot of crit
But Tactican means you don't need anything else for Siege Cascade to be good
Tjat
That's the basic skill tree i;'m using
then weapon set 2 grabs molten one's gift and maiming strike
and weapon set 1 grabs Full Salvo and Resuable Ammo
as well as Giant Slayer
Weapon set 2 will have crystlizedi mmunites evnetually as well
(next level >.>)
Using Heavy Ammo as my instill, grabbed a Megalomanic that has Irreparable and Tough Claw
I fucked around using a crit setup for HVR, but got better resuilts when i went for a raw damage setup, i just don't have the gear to make crit maxing it work
also tbh, having Garrakun's resolve on HVR kinda sucks
at least for how i move around and do things
keen dagger
damn my build only uses one lineage gem 😔
if you go on poe.ninja you can pull your build and share it
has a lot more detail

and then with bosses, throw a flashbang, armor evaporates, hit them with the HVR...
I'm glad that this works because that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking when I read the hvr armour break mechanic
knotty glacier
if you go on poe.ninja you can pull your build and share it
Oh, thank you
here we go
I'm thinking i might cut either imaple or mobiltiy from frag rounds to fit in culling strike

I think culling strike is really only necessary for pinnacle bosses tbh
knotty glacier

it's the last thing I really need to finish the build

Up until today there was a fairly healthy market of people listing the 6mod maps that rolled badly for 1ex

ah, and then bots bought them all, converted them nto gold
and used that to eat the currecny market
cosmic owl
Now reptuable accounts like awawak and cananaw and rreghty are snap buying them all and reselling at 3+
At absurd speeds on listing too; I put one up and had 5 people in my hideout in seconds
So its not that the div is going up: the exalt is tanking
chaos:div is constant, but ex:chaos and ex:div both dropped
knotty glacier
I have no idea who Awawak is or the illk
and wait, why are they reselling these 1 ex maps at 3 ex?

In any case, I think they're not too concerned about bots in the beta 0.3
Presumably waves of bans and their ilk will come later

Well, I think its a mix of things this seaosn
- tree not being revealed beforehand
- chilled ground being horrifically OP
- lighting arrow still too good
- MS still best stat in game
- don't need defense if you offscreen things
Melee is <2% of level 90+ characters
fervent raptor
I still think a not-insignificant of it is that CCs are churning out a lot more DE content than anything else
knotty glacier
It's more the latter 3 that are a bit
"How did you not see this coming"
Chillded Ground being op i havent acutally like, noticed, but my build isnt the fastest moving sincei t's roll, fire 3 volleys, rolll to reload, fiore three voellys
so being a bit slower doesnt actually well, slow me down that much
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/TheZombiePenguin-1291/character/Ubaldini
Current state of the build if anyone's curious. Is good fun
Next upgrade is probably a good Heart of the well with Gain X on it, and just getting Even Better Body armor, etc

so being a bit slower doesnt actually well, slow me down that much
It slows animation speed, so if yuo reload ontop of it, you take forever to load and fire

Oh, yeah, wow, that's hilariously wrong
cosmic owl
Its fun because I really should clean up the gems, actually get cast-on-crit in the build, get the correct flasks, etc
knotty glacier
In game siege cascade is 9.9k dps for the bolt and 37.4k dps
I dunno what my flask upgrades would be, honestly.
cosmic owl
But it doesn't matter because atalui's bloodletting is bonkers
knotty glacier
One thigns that's misisng from my dps calcs is i have 2x jewels with "25% more damage against fulyl broken armor" and i shatter armor basically instantly
cosmic owl
I dunno what my flask upgrades would be, honestly.
Probably swap charges gained for reduced charges used on life flask, at least
knotty glacier
Probably swap charges gained for reduced charges used on life flask, at least

The other thing that would probalby improve my build is getting the fancy unique charms, but those are like, luxury items

i just dont really die
keen dagger
yeah bottom tree seems in a great place for tank
top right has some issues. es regen is hard to get unless you're doing CI, dots really suck for chipping away at your es since you need to get hit to regain es with shrouds and then you have stun threshold issues cus of lower hp
like I have tons of survivability thru leech and chill/freeze/stun as long as I'm hitting stuff but if I get stuck on chilled ground or stunned or multiple dots at once I'm often fucked very quickly
knotty glacier
yeah bottom tree seems in a great place for tank
Def compared to previously playing Ranger and Hunter, and honestly, even my withchunter back in .1
i feel so much more tanky
i can just actually take hits - it literally took something 100 to 0ing me for me to die
otherwise i just heal from leech or postions really fast
See, the funny bit is chilled ground doesnt really affect me at all
if i wanted i could even be immune to it
(but i'm immune to shocked instead)
Also, boss with x12 rare souls in it and hunted by the wild cat = Shockingly beefy.
...but also, like, still not a danger, i only got into danger zone from the odd chaos hit
Ground degens are the main risk factor for me, since none of my mitigation really works on them
49.5 life a second aint much >.>

I hope PoE2 adds dot mitigation like LE has
