It has some really good potential rolls

ggg pls... plss...

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

Pffft

#

5-10% more max hp, Gain 20-30% armor or es or evasion , 20-30% of armor applis to elemental, %increased of stats, Increase spirit if you have over 200 of a stat, gain damage of an elemental type

#

And stuff that powers up the Abysssal Wasting it applies

#

1% increased Attack Speed per 20 Spirit
1% increased Cast Speed per 20 Spirit

These are nice too

#

It looks like if you want damage mods, Uluaamans is the way to go?

#

Also, it's annoying that even with everything setup to max rogue exiles, and i'm getting a fair few...

#

THey keep not spawning over abysses

Just bench them until you roll good mods to sell

#

I don't think I really need to sell anything at this point I'm probably just buying the last two keys and doing arbiter than calling it on this character

#

other than arbiter I just have merciless king and olroth to take care of

After playing around, spepcping for rogue exiles is just not worth it

#

Sure, they spawn a lkot more often, but they can spawn anywhere in the map, and won't spawn ontop of abysses unless like you have "Covered in a byss"

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

knotty glacier Sure, they spawn a lkot more often, but they can spawn anywhere in the map, and ...

Might be one of those things where you mass buy desecrated maps with that modifier

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 10:17 AM

#

Which like, that's the game

#

But also

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

But the next steps are all far too expensive; going from a +5 skills want to a corrupted +7, going from a 1k ES chest to 1k Es + 200 life, 50MS boots, etc

#

Its a pity, I looooved the campaign and abyss has been a really good mechanic

#

But mapping is frankly bad

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 10:20 AM

#

It is.

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:25 AM

#

So

#

On the one hand doing a map overun by the abyss

#

and triggering a breach at the same time may have been a mistake

#

on the other hand: i dindt die, did i!?

#

Did loose 50 frames though

#

But that's okay, i had 50 to spare

#

also, that's dumb

#

overun with abyss stops rituals from spawning

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:33 AM

#

cosmic owl But mapping is frankly bad

Someone on reddit had a pitch to take the structure of Interludes, and use that as the basis for maps

Which i really like - you get a set of themed maps leading up to a big boss fight, you slot tablets in to the interlude to affect all maps in that itnerlude, you still use waystones to tune the level, special maps can still spawn within these etc

#

seemed a very cool idea

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

knotty glacier Someone on reddit had a pitch to take the structure of Interludes, and use that ...

yea I saw that and liked it

#

My issue right now is that I don't feel like I have progression

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

The infinite map is absoloteuy a mistake, imho

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

On the old atlas you got to fill stuff in and going up tiers felt important

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

Because of that precise issue

#

it also feels like arse to scroll back

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 11:35 AM

#

On this on I spent ages scraping by on t1 until I got build online, then immediately jumped to t15

#

The tower layout also makes it such that a lot of routing is explicitly bad

#

Like, you need to go around prim aeras to then fill in once towers are active

#

But if that area is a coast you just wanna path right through it

#

To say nothing of the weird unique maps that never have keys drop, or the shocking number of impassable nodes

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:36 AM

#

I am honestly so glad i'm ignroing that

#

like it's not optimal or anyhting

#

but gods it feels better to not worry about ling up towers

#

But also, yeah. And hell, like, i still havnet seen any citadels

#

i think i just have to keep going straight for a while

#

which is... also dumb

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

ye

#

And feels kinda boring when, again, you have nothing to aim for

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

Yeah, i at least have "kill the other pinniacles"

cosmic owl Sep 11, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

ah yea fair

#

I already killed the buggers haha

#

Kinda odd league for me in retrospect, as I, without really meaning to, ended up on the #1 non-deadeye build

#

But made one mistake in my early setup which put me three days behind curve

#

And now I've seen what its like to be almost on curve

#

And its made me pretty keen for the next league to actually prep a build

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:39 AM

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:42 AM

#

I wish crafting was a bit more intuitive right now

#

need a crafitng interaface that shows oyu what you could get etc

#

that would help

#

Also, as an asidde, it's werid to me they dont just make azmeri spirts spawn where you enter the area

#

so you know ,the whole chase them mechanic actually works

#

rather than what happens in practice: stumble across one and it jumps into the rare by it

knotty glacier Sep 11, 2025, 11:49 AM

#

cosmic owl greater abrasion also worth heaps

]Wait, it's just worth 1 exalt right now?

Random game design musing: I wonder what they're gonna do about the surrounded unique.

Big bonuses for surrounded is good design space. Ways to make that easier to turn on is fun. Having it tied to a unique v that basically obivates any engagement with the mechanic is... Not so good

keen dagger Sep 11, 2025, 3:23 PM

#

it's really funny how much less some greater / perfect essences are worth than the lower tier versions of the same

#

because of slot restrictions

keen dagger Sep 11, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

like regular body essence hits all armour and jewelry slots. greater doesn't hit rings. perfect only hits body and is a chaos orb rather than regal.

#

so it's much less useful for what people want

knotty glacier Sep 12, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

This is more "I want to understand crafting more, and how to go about it"

#

than "I belive this will make me an upgrade"

cosmic owl Sep 12, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

Okay, I'll step you through how I'm thinking then

#

The ring current has 2 suffixes, and the [elemental, fire, cold, lightning, resistance] tags

#

(checking here: https://poe2db.tw/us/Rings#ModifiersCalc )

#

The first thing I think about is whether we can force any specific affix, using a homogenizing omen + one that forces prefix or suffix

#

Valid options for prefix are adds # fire/cold/lightning damage, and # increased fire/cold/lightning damage

#

Thats not the most useful

#

Valid options for suffix are any of the resistance suffixes, so thats nice at least

knotty glacier Sep 12, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

Okay, interesting. Best there would arguably be chaos res if there's anyway to force that? Though sounds like no

#

I also see this would be Spendy TM, and while i could probably flip a really good ring for more thani spend, i'll hold off for now

#

Still, thank you, this helpos me understand more

cosmic owl Sep 12, 2025, 5:05 AM

#

knotty glacier Okay, interesting. Best there would arguably be chaos res if there's anyway to f...

We'd use omen of catalyzing, 20 Chayula's Catalyst to give it chaos modifier quality, homogenizing omen to force similar tag, and the omen to force suffix only

#

It wouldn't be guaranteed to be chaos, but it'd be likely

#

Sadly you don't have any of the tagless prefixes, so its actually kinda hard to do much on the prefixes

#

It'll be spenny to force anyhting, so just slam with greater exalts and hope, I think

knotty glacier Sep 12, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

My understnading is for the best possible stuff, i'd eiuther want a max ilvl breach ring, or a max ilvl oen of these which is... i84? iiirc?

#

Eeey, throwing greater exalts worked

#

#

This is actually a shockingly good ring.

cosmic owl Sep 12, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

You could maybe winnow off one of the prefixes

#

If you wanted to try for life

#

But I can't see the tiers to be sure

Well, io have no divines any more, but i have armour applies to chaos damage, and gasining a chunk of my damge as fire, while not loosing any armor from the gem i swapped out for that...

#

and up about 100 life

#

also i'm nearly at 73% chaos res, rather htan my previous 50%

#

so i should be sigifnactly more resistant to chaos damage

And you know, my dps got a good glow up

riparoonie

cosmic owl Sep 13, 2025, 12:14 PM

The difference between 73 and 75 reduces incoming damage by 7.5%

knotty glacier Sep 13, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

Wait, hang on - neither of my rings have chaos res, does adding the chaos catalsy still help?

cosmic owl Sep 13, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

ah, then no

#

I just assumed they did because its an easy source of it

knotty glacier Sep 13, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

I'll just overcap my chaos res for now then

#

it's not like that's a bad thing to do

cosmic owl Sep 13, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

yea its fine

#

The way the calcs work in poe - compared to dsay last epoch - just make hitting that 75% really important

#

Especially with the scaling on some of the abyssal modifiers

knotty glacier Sep 13, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

Yeah, it'll probably mean i can actually beat T3 King

#

instead of going pop

#

As an aside, while it's def not the highest stuff, if you are able to clear ttirals relialby

#

it's a really solid stream of exalts

#

Very good if you just need to get a quick divine

I hit phase 2 just fine

i just ltierally got 100'd to 0 out of the blue

I think theres a dodge cue for a pbaoe that shootss chaos spikes out

Honestly, i'm mostly annoyed because i lost an omen of sancitifactio nto buing splinters

#

and then lsot the splinters to dying

#

(and that's on me)

#

but also, we live, we learn, it's fine, good motivation to improve my build

#

Rituals are fun for me to do, and suit my build well

so i'll get more shots easily

fun fact about Goregirdle/Stay Light use cover...

The armor doublign applies to everything your armour does. The damage cap is onyl for physical

oh, yeah @cosmic owl One thign to keep an eye on - Projectile Accel III is secrelty really good right now.

40% more projecitle speed... and gives the Prj speed increases/decreases projectile damage

The market might have shifted, but people gamble on the unid ones and so id'd ones except for the meta deadeye skills are oftensuper cheap in comparison

Honestly I have no idea what I'd buy. I have four Gen slots, I have a Metamorphosis (giving my armor break duration & tough claws, not convinced armor break duration is doing anything though, unless bosses have a reduction to duration?) & a heart of the well, +2 reds that boost attack and body armor break damage even more (they're both supplying near 40% increased damage in total)

Path of Exile 2: Build of the Week - Sowza's Last Lament Lich

The Last Lament is a unique crossbow added in 0.2.1. Sowza has discovered that this weapon is surprisingly well-suited to the Lich, thanks to some interactions that let us bypass its downside. This build is fun, fast, and powerful, making unorthodox use of a cool unique. If you’d like to know more, check out Sowza's more detailed guide below:

Honestly I kinda presumed that interaction was a bug

#

The Lich notably can't pay life costs nor utilise similarly worded life sacrifice effects - Last Lament says "Sacrifice X life to [do effect]" and I feel like if you can't sacrifice the life you shouldn't be able to get the effect?

grizzled hamlet Sep 15, 2025, 1:58 PM

You do sacrifice life, it's just that your life doesn't change

fervent raptor Sep 15, 2025, 2:07 PM

Like the Demon Stitcher(?) gloves that have you sacrifice X% of life to gain that much ES on spell cast don't work because you're not sacrificing any life

i can clear most stuff just fine, but any boss with a slam that's eitehr phys or leaves a dot on teh ground can just one shot me/delete me fast enoguh to be a one shot

#

also presuambly there's a point where my armor is better than just having Stay Light Use cover

Ah, pob can actually answer that. I am close, but not yet.

fervent raptor Sep 15, 2025, 11:18 PM

#

I mean PoB ehp stuff very much requires info on incoming hits - it'll be set to a default number but map mods / certain boss attacks will change that

#

Generally the idea for slams is "don't get hit by them"

knotty glacier Sep 15, 2025, 11:26 PM

It's the max physical hit that's useufl in pob

(And yes, i know, but when my reflexs whatever arent up to snuff, it is immensly frustrating to get snuffed)

keen dagger Sep 15, 2025, 11:52 PM

some attacks pretty much have to be dodged like the arbiters nukes and tunnels

I guess you can mitigate those with 85% fire res and another layer on top of like 5k life

it's boss slams like Crowbell's bell, Silverback's pillar etc

it's extremely funny against any bosses with rapid fire attacks like the sun priest or the chimera because if you can get hit by all the projectiles the boss just disintegrates. but oof does it feel bad if you're just waiting to get hit so you can do your combo again. it's very funny in that it doesn't mind getting heavy stunned or tripped because you are still doing the thing while sitting still. very much cool that it works but not exciting to actually play.

There are a bunch of cues that unfortunately aren't well explained or often noticeable

#

A pair of parallel lines will have a texture emanting to the inside or outside to indicate their damage direction, for example

#

A circle under a boss will likewise show if its a pbaoe or a safe zone with that cue

The audio dodge cue plays for that one

knotty glacier Sep 21, 2025, 10:02 AM

#

Fucking wonderful, I didn't hear it over everything else I was doing.

Sorry, I'm still pissed off, this is actively shit design on their part, and while I really really want to like this game and it's boss fights, the way they're setup so your punished for not just deleting the boss is fucking dumb

cosmic owl Sep 21, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

Which in and of itself I'm not sure about as a cue; it works well in something like sekiro, but in my experience arpg players normally have music or podcasts or youtube on in the background because sound is so rarely important

knotty glacier Sep 21, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

The worst but here is in pretty sure I paused whatever I was watching to focus on the game

#

And I have hyper sensitive hearing.

#

And I still missed the que so rip

#

Though, honestly, I stand by that being shit signaling. "A bunch of swords floating around" is not sufficient warning for "this will one shot you"

Esp with no clear indication on where it's safe to stand out not

keen dagger Sep 21, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

I don't think you're supposed to just run away I think that's just that yters plan cus yeah the attack is kinda shitty

I'm not inclined to fuck around to try and learn it either

cosmic owl Sep 22, 2025, 1:49 AM

#

knotty glacier I mean, I have no clue how you deal with that attack

iirc there's an indicator for which sword he'll attack from, then he does a three stage dash out that ends in the super fast sword line

#

I found it very reliable to dodge by standing approx 1/3 screen away from the circle, and dodging after the second stage of the dash

knotty glacier Sep 25, 2025, 8:34 AM

#

also, so wait: The only way to get lvl80 maps is to have 2/3 of Irrateied, +1 to level Corrupted/Cleansed and T16 maps?

#

wow, that's arse.

#

and as i udnerstand it, you cant even get the good drops/omens s etc without lvl80 areas

keen dagger Sep 25, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

that doesn't seem accurate. I'm not sure about omens but most mods cap out before 79 with only a few going to 80 or 81.

#

so yes the tippy top stuff you need to be in level 80 areas to drop from normal/magic mobs, but you can still get it from rares/uniques at lvl 79

fervent raptor Sep 25, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

The rule of thumb is that white/blue mobs drop items at the area level, rares drop +1 and bosses/uniques drop +2

keen dagger Sep 25, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

that's less the rule of thumb and more the rule innit

fervent raptor Sep 25, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

They did have to adjust things this league because item levels were too high (ie you could only drop them from bosses on higher levels areas instead of being the correct accessibility)

#

Well, sure yeah haha

keen dagger Sep 25, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

I remember that apparently in 0.2 level 20 uncut gems would only drop from level 84 pool lmao

fervent raptor Sep 25, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

Something like that, yeah

keen dagger Sep 25, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

which is a boss in level 82 area???

#

or roll ups if those exist

fervent raptor Sep 25, 2025, 4:20 PM

#

It was certainly just bosses in max level zones, which made them essentially hens teeth

keen dagger Sep 25, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

so yeah t1 %phys or t1 gem levels might be 80/81 but imo that's OK

#

if yr really wanting to farm that definitely buy t16s that don't brick u

fervent raptor Sep 25, 2025, 4:32 PM

There has to be content that requires the highest stuff to farm

Path of Exile 2: Major Endgame Changes

As you know, the improvements to the endgame are a big focus of our next 0.4.0 content update for Path of Exile 2. However, we realised that it might be better to introduce some of the mechanical changes to the endgame sooner than that. Next week, we are planning to release Patch 0.3.1 with major changes and improvements to the endgame.

but existing mechanics changes in 0.3.1

#

huge

#

i do feel like theyll work themselves back into the poe 1 endgame somewhat

#

purely cause path 1 had so much iteration on an arpg endgame

rustic grotto Sep 25, 2025, 8:31 PM

I mean, props for trying something different

#

But did seem a bit weird they'd backslid on some things

grizzled hamlet Sep 25, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

yeah, take big swings, learn lessons from that, improve on it

#

at exilecon they spoke a lot about how this was a big reason they split path 2 into its own game rather than it being an omega expansion for path 1

#

so they can do bigger bolder changes

Scarabs are single use and have set outcomes while sextants are like, roll them for good stuff for X uses

knotty glacier Sep 26, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

I just admit, I'm surprised they didn't try having towers just not stack, and triple the effects like they've done here - and overlaps maybe just overwriting? I dunno what I'd have done there.

keen dagger Sep 26, 2025, 2:12 AM

#

big problem with towers they mentioned was that u know a map is gonna be shit when u click and this fixes that

#

which makes clicking feel bad

I don't understand this fully, I don't think

fervent raptor Sep 26, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

Towers are required to make maps better, so if you're doing a map without a tower (or the additional overlapping towers) unlocked, you know the map is not going to be good

keen dagger Sep 26, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

I know when I click open map that the map is going to be irradiated breach delirium map boss abyssal corrupted ritual (that won't spawn) or if it's going to be +6% experience

fervent raptor Sep 26, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

Slash if you chuck a tablet in a tower and it doesn't buff a map you need to pass through, that map feels bad to do

keen dagger Sep 26, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

ye

fervent raptor Sep 26, 2025, 2:38 AM

Clearing all the content and then not killing the boss

fervent raptor Oct 1, 2025, 10:43 AM

#

It's basically the only realistic way to have layout/map specific rewards without making them boss-only drops which'd do weird things to rarity by itself

Especially if something like Div Cards come back

i tried doing it before as a start of league currency strat

but leveling the rogues turned me off

frigid kernel Oct 23, 2025, 7:27 PM

i think the start of league currency for that is like

buy as many contracts form whakanao asyou can and run them instead of campaign

frigid kernel Oct 23, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

that's like 400 more than essence drain

#

so surely they are giving spell dots a buff

#

im just gonna start toxic rain pathfinder

#

probably eventually ditch life flasks and take a cool borrowed notable

#

maybe create an illegal quill rain wihtout the less damage

fervent raptor Oct 24, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

well, async trade should help 😛

#

I don't actually think assassin will be outrageously popular, but certainly pulling better numbers than it was

#

I do have two build goals for it in Poison Starcaller and Flicker CoC

cosmic owl Oct 24, 2025, 1:26 AM

Of course

#

Not sure what ill go for

#

Might be time to do my first poe1 bow build

#

The new windstorm gem seems neat

fervent raptor Oct 24, 2025, 2:01 AM

#

oh, apparently forbiddens on choice nodes (like the new assassin one) will let you pick another option

#

so you can take both of these and get permanent 100% more crit chance

#

Right, actually maybe just flicker of power with a dagger for league start and just abuse Nightblade elusive etc

solar vigil Oct 24, 2025, 12:04 PM

Great looking patch

#

Is only assassin getting reworked

fervent raptor Oct 24, 2025, 12:08 PM

couple of ascendancies have been tuned

solar vigil Oct 24, 2025, 12:09 PM

#

Which ones

fervent raptor Oct 24, 2025, 12:10 PM

#

Trickster notably has been bonked a bit, the Elementalist Golem node has been toned down, a couple other have had minor buffs

#

suppression nerfed a little overall, wanders rebalanced a bit, daggers are more crit-y

#

think I'm locked in to doing kinetic rain shadow rn

10pm

so hopefully people can figure out if assassin is real by then

#

not sure between bow, wander or melee

#

but ill see

fervent raptor Oct 26, 2025, 11:16 PM

#

I'm doing wander assassin I think

#

Kinetic Rain seems cool and also doesn't care for being DE

#

With Schizo getting 2 or 3 defensive asc nodes seems kinda wild, and then easy charge gen for crit?

#

My napkin maths says that a 1000 damage post-mitigation hit with PB and Schizo will be reduced to 360 immediate damage, 192 taken over 4 seconds and then another 96 at the end of that

#

Which ends up being 35% less damage taken overall and spreading a bunch of the damage out over time for recoup and leech to do work

#

And then like, Shadowed Blood provides a chunk of that recoup and Mistwalker gives a nice avoid chance on of the MS bonus
