Does anyone here identify rares?
I identified a full quad tab of ilvl77+ belt/amulets/ring and sold like 3 for 5c.

unid chaos recipe is fine if you have shittons of stash tabs and are doing things IN BULK.

Always pick up accessories, have a dump tab for these items only. When full sort into:
x tabs dedicated to amulets
2x tabs dedicated to rings
2x tabs dedicated to belts
A spare holding tab for overflow / excess (unlikely, amulets will be your chokepoint - buy them in bulk for cheap if possible, you can liquidate faster)

Dump other UNID rares into separate dump tabs. When full sort into:
Have 6x tabs for body
Have 4x tabs for gloves, 4x for helms, 4x for boots
Have 8x tabs for 2H weapons
When tabs for specific slots fill up start ignoring them / adding them to your filter.

Once your tabs are full or nearing full you liquidate and start over.

You are allowed to bring ONE one-square sized item into the next league. No stacking of currency, only a singular item allowed. What do you pick?

how to get 40 challenges:

boot up MercuryTrade
activate chat scanner, filter words that you need (inv boss/tali/guardian kill, etc)
join /trade 820 en
wait or go do your strands while Mercury do your job

What about narrow layouts like Gorge? or is it random and i should consider to KMS?

>he sells / buys things instead of running the content to get them
Like I'm no SSFag but what's the fun in running 100000000 strands instead of running talismans and potentially getting a GG greatwolf?

Sure, it's less profitable, but it's more fun. That crafting autist on reddit was right, it's super lame to be wearing all equipment that you bought. When was the last time that you actually crafted yourself a GG item instead of using that currency to buy one?

never

why are shitbirds allowed to have opinions

>playing hardcuck before 3.0
you might have a point after 3.0 makes the game more like a traditional roguelike but what's the point of playing hc before that

you already have to repeat the same content 3 times every time you make a new character, why would you make it so that you have to repeat the same content 3 times every time you die

>more like a traditional roguelike
lol
>more like a console game
ftfy

it's not mutually exclusive

have you seen traditional roguelikes and console games recently

hey guys just wanted to pop in and let you know that 3.0 will be introducing rare flasks as well as some serious pathfinder buffs to compensate for the skill require to play her efffectively

Benefits of hardcore:

1. Shitty builds end up in softcore
2. Shitty players end up in softcore
3. Shitty botters end up in softcore
4. Shitty foreigners end up in softcore
5. The economy isn't fucked after day two, because people can''t AFKing Shaper kills on Golem Elementalists and other tomfoolery

>>175019754
>5. The economy isn't fucked after day two, because people can''t AFKing Shaper kills on Golem Elementalists and other tomfoolery

6. Get to replay the game 3 times every time you die

3 months is too long for a league

>>175019968

Apples and oranges. Every shitty Golem or AWT player ends up in the softcore toilet, while the ones that aren't shitty stay in hardcore.

>>175020013

So only once if you git gud

>>175020467
you're crying about the economy being ruined because any retard can run shaper in the first week

and that still stays true in hc thanks to ascendancies

and by git gud i mean get a logout macro and only play flameblast totems

Are you the only person in /poeg/ who doesn't understand how much money goes from HC->SC every single day, especially during the first month of a new league?

Yeah, you're wrong. Loot is distributed however the allocation is unless otherwise stated.
When he asked for a carry you should've said "Sure, but I get the loot, is that cool?" or something like that.

That guy's still a dick for taking it, but you still should've said that you get the loot.

Are there any Scion builds that are endgame viable? Not necessarily Shaper, but at least t12.

It depends on the chests of the day.

Intricate Locker always drops Labyrinth unique items.

Curious Lockbox always drops an extra treasure key

Emperor's Trove, Emperor's Treasury, Emperor's Vault drops lots of currency, jewels, and jewelry. I seem to always find at least one chaos orb in them.

>delete stash on death
this is the only thing that keeps me from playing hardcore

retards act like its real hardcore but you dont lose your character, your wealth is just transfered

and then you have all that shit in your stash to fall back on

>>175034050
because most people transfer their wealth into their character. I'd imagine that very few people have more currency in their stash tab than they do in value of gear equipped on characters. Maybe if they only played one character all league and never died. Most people will die, have to spend most of their money on a new character, die on that, and repeat the process.

>>175036972
First time time I saw was a long long time ago in Dota 2 threads. Basically its a comic about one player seeing abilities that have some features from some items, believing the abilities give a 'free' item (despite the fact it is not really free at all if it takes up a ability skill set on the hero). So typically you would see the rest of comic build EVERYTHING around that single feature (I guess somewhat like what people tend to do in POE too)

double dipping is basically using one mod to boost two forms of damage

for instance, a wand with a bonus to fire damage will not only boost the fire damage from a hit, but also the amount of damage from ignite. Same with Chaos and Poison or Physical and Bleed. Basically, some modifiers affect both initial damage and DoT.

SSF is definitely a good experience. I often get the sense that GGG has balanced their game around SSF. Challenges make it so that 90% of the time, it's more profitable to just sell your endgame mapping material and run basic maps instead.

Like there's no chance you're getting that 50% GD 32% stats Greatwolf that will make you a profit compared to just selling your talismans. But SSF forces you to run the content if you want the reward.

I don't know, though, SSF is too limiting. I can't make a build based around one item if I go SSF, because I'll likely never get it. That cuts out a lot of the fun from the game, especially since scours are harder to come by too, so you can't just level as one build and scour into your actual build after you luck the fuck out and drop the item you want halfway through the Shaper fight.

>GGG has balance their game around SSF

>want to play PoE on HC

the only builds which are 100% unfeasible in SSF are low life builds and meme trigger item based ones (mjollnir, kitava's, etc), everthing else can be done suboptimally for the most part

and ssf will never be "balanced" because there's still builds that trivialize everything with zero gear

>>175055824
the analogy points out the flaw of your reasoning

just because poe is mostly a solo game doesn't mean that there can't be a social side to it, i.e. a point in being in an active guild with similar players

same reason why going to the movies with friends can be fun even though you're not being friendly or talking while watching the movie

>>175055920
>trust /vg/ to ruin clans/guilds etc in every game every time
The Tera guild was pretty comfy.

>>175055937
Why are you bringing up PoE? >>175055824 only states how much of a joke going to movies with people is. You don't talk at all (you shouldn't, anyway) during the movie.

Now granted, I haven't gone to the movies by myself, usually find it a waste of time/money. But if you were to go by yourself, seems fine.

>>175056009
I've been in a few /vg/ guild, and they always start off nice, but then some kind of "inner circle" always forms, then drama happens, then it floods over into the thread with shitposting and a bunch of other shit.

Ever damn time.

>>175056014
do you not understand what an analogy is?

the things that surround the experience of watching the movie itself (sharing your thoughts about it afterward, going to grab a bite, going outside, all with friends) make it a social activity

saying something like "why are people in a guild in a solo game" is missing the point of social interaction beyond the gameplay itself which makes >>175055690 either autistic or in denial

I just started playing SSFHC recently, and while it's a flawed experience in a lot of ways, it's the first time I've ever actually looked at currency drops as crafting materials and not x% of a chaos orb. I don't really know if I can go back to tradecore after this.

>>175056456
Same here

I'm never going back to tradecore, I divined what would be a 5c unique 2 days ago and didn't think twice of it because I no longer had the divine = 15c mindset

SSF is the true arpg experience

wtf I just beat the game but i'm in the starting zone again?

>>175056278
You've gone off-topic now.

>>175056842
no I haven't

if you can't understand social interaction in a "solo game" outside gameplay itself, you're autistic

>>175056561
You can still get that in tradecore. There was this turboautist on reddit a few days ago who was showing off how he made 3 mirrors basically just crafting whatever the fuck he wanted. He mapped like 95% of the time (which he considered unprofitable) and crafted the other 5% and confessed that he wasn't even that good at picking the right things to craft, but he still ended up with 3 mirrors.

He wasn't flipping. He tried the flipping thing and said it was better than mapping but way worse than crafting. You have to map to build up a money base but once you have it crafting skyrockets in viability. You map the rest of the time for fun and so that you can actually use the stuff you're crafting - the guy basically just crafted a bunch of stuff that he wanted for himself and sold the failures.

I don't think your mentality can be "this is worth x chaos". I think it has to be "this could be worth a lot to me". When you do that, you naturally end up gaining value.

Actually trying to cap block in SSF is nearly impossible without pure investment

these sheepfuckers nerfed block on the passive tree, then nerf rumis, then go ahead and let pathfinders 75/75 block with nerfed rumis and rearguard

it really pisses me the fuck off

both gladiator and necros can cap block nearly effortlessly SSF with very common uniques that you find 10 copies of if you play more than 2 hours a week

>>175059417
>yeah and what about that -40% or w/e less block chance mod fucktard
it applied to uncapped block, it's fairly easy to still maintain 50-60 block in those maps, in which case your life gain on block still puts you in the immortality zone as long as you get hit by a lot of small hits since lgob is consistent and doesn't get diminished by map mods

>just roll over it
hardly the point since we were considering investment and which one is better pound for pound

>you've clearly never played slayer if you think it's only 2k/s hp too
really, what is it realistically then? 5k/s?

go leech in a breach then afk for 20 seconds with a slayer
do nothing in a breach but afk for 20 seconds with a 60+ block gladiator

one survives, the other dies

I think i might just throw exalts at people for rigwald kills i cant be bothered to do uberlab another 70 times

would 1 ex per kill be enough to get some slave monkeys to feed me kills are there even people doing rigwald kills

>one survives, the other dies


yeah... anon the block character dies because 25% of those hits are still coming through, doing damage to you, while you are not regaining health, while the vinktars the slayer popped 30 seconds before hitting the breach is still giving him health

>>175059719
you don't need PoB to divide hp pool by 0.3 or 0.35 if you pick vitality void, moron, I can do it mentally in 2 seconds

increased life leeched per second does not remove your cap, try not to sound so retarded if you were somehow implying getting +100% life leeched per second somehow means you can now recover 70% of your life/s instead of 35%

I watched it earlier today, it's a pretty good look at the design process. Skyforth is a total retard, though. The stuff he asked for half the time was just stupid. The design guy was getting so fucking fed up with him.

Man, when I save up 2500 dollars GGG is going to be so impressed they'll hire me on the spot. I've already thought of the core mechanic for the item - "your totems have Conduit". Build-enabling as fuck, really not OP at all if it's not on a max-level helm, and it's exactly the kind of funky-ass weird interaction stuff that GGG would love.

I thought this was funny. The item actually had "5% mana degen" on it as well but the design team didn't want it to have too many mods.

I'm half sure at this point they just put it in the game to get Skyforth out of their hair without doing too much damage to the balance of the game.

Are you retarded? Your leech becomes much more effective per hit, sure, but you're still capped. That's the entire reason of going VP as a Berserker with 100% leech on save hit taken or when your build reaches 7-digit DPS because uncapped instant leech is always going to be better than 35% life regen.

go leech as a slayer for a few seconds and afk in an esh breach for 20 seconds then record the outcome, doesn't have to be a high tier map either, say a t11 strand

I'll do the same for 60 seconds with no button press of any kind on my gladiator, deal?

I'm thinking about playing this game but I have a question first: Where does the build variety people always gush about come from? In Grim Dawn, it's because you can take pretty much any offensive skill you like and make a build around it.
How the hell does a skill tree full of passive bonuses and randomly dropped skill gems make bild variety?

>>175061801
You link the gems. An item can have up to 6 linked sockets where you can socket one active skill gem along with support gems linking to it. There's plenty of support gems that make stuff do more damage, link to multiple targets, fire multiple projectiles etc. etc.

>>175061801
path of exiles "build diversity" is a big fat fucking meme
There are so many skills that are literally better versions of eachother

Lightning strike? Frostblades is better and doesn't get stuck on random shit

Dual strike? Double strike? Bladeflurry, cleave

Heavy strike? kek, earthquake does more damage and has an actual area of effect

Ground slam? Sunder does more damage and has more aoe
Gem link system?
Haha that's a good meme too

you socket as much damage as you possibly can. That's literally it.

Except for the odd skill that actually benefits from meme supports like Less Duration (which also give fucking damage) like Earthquake or explosive arrow there is no fucking diversity at all

>>175061892
Ah I see. Are these gems linked to specific skills? Or can you switch from a fireball gem to whatever frost magic there is and still have the multiple target gem active?
Also, I guess the first playthrough is just about discovering skills instead of actually planning a build then?
>>175062009
You seem unreasonably mad about this game

>Double dipping is the only thing keeping detonate dead as a usable skill

>3.0 double dipping remove
>detonate dead forgotten about
>does less damage than fucking tempest shield

Do you get to choose a new ascendancy class after the rehaul?

If they're nerfing douple dipping Assassin is likely to become vastly inferior to meme man of dodging. If you can't change away from it you may as well make a new character. Top meme.

>You seem unreasonably mad about this game
You seem unreasonably fucking retarded if you think your choices are going to matter in this game

>>175060212
>358% inc leech rate
What's the fucking point?
Just brutal fervour alone and you can cap leech 5 hits in

>>175061801
Some passives in the skill tree (keystones) fundamentally change the way a character is built.

There are sub-classes (ascendancies) that fundamentally change the way a character is built.

There are uniques that fundamentally change the way a character is played.

You can link a skill gem to different supports that changes it behavior.

So that's 4 vectors of customization already; that doesn't mean you can do completely random shit and it'll work but there's still some freedom.

So for example if I pick a boring skill like Firestorm that can't really be changed in meaningful ways, I can
a) put it on a totem (Ancestral Bond) or go self-cast, crit or non crit (Elemental Overload)
b) play it as a Templar, a Witch, or even a Marauder
c) play it with a unique that proliferates my ignites or recover my life on ignites
d) play it purely self-cast focusing on pure speed (Spell Echo) or as a catalyst to channel another skill (Cast when Channelling)

This isn't true for every skill mind you. Some builds have been "figured out" by the playerbase and there's an "optimal" way to build them and any deviating won't earn you much but cool points, but others can be played by different classes, different optimization, different gearing and will result in much different power levels.

>>175062080
Typically your setup is going to look something like

Armor: Main Skill - Damage - Damage - Damage - Damage - Damage (damage coming from various sources like faster cast/attack apart from flat more damage per use etc.)
Helm: Aura - Less Mana Reserved - Aura
Boots: Support Skill - Beneficial Gem - Beneficial Gem

Typically you'll only have 1-2 main abilities that do damage that you actually use and the rest are utility and buffs.

>>175062235

seriously just wait for 3.0 in a month

playing now isn't worth it

so i hit lv96 last night for the first time ever on my own and i noticed 96 -> 97 isn't ''''""that'''"" bad either

does the "real" grind starts after hitting 97 or does it feel pretty much the same all the way to 100? i mean, do you still notice some progress in the xp bar after an hour of mapping or so

>>175062468
you should be careful not to confuse complexity with depth

poe isn't complex:
the tree is fairly easy to figure out (want to play a fire spellcaster, go grab this fire cluster)
theorycrafting a build is also fairly simple (get some life, get some damage)
building around a skill is straightfoward (read the tags, link it to supports that gives more damage or coverage)

and yet most of the playerbase can't get past level 90 in hardcore because their character ends up being dogshit for multiple reasons

poe is not complex but it has depth, it's easy to pick up but hard to master, which is its only real redeeming feature compared to more polished games like diablo 3 that have the depth of a puddle

>>175062760
97 is about halfway to 100 in terms of time spent in a character, assuming you're not running double beyond shores 24/7

exp penalty is going to start hitting you like a truck and by 99 you'll start questioning your life choices when you realize you need 750 maps for a level

hf

>>175062863
yeah fuck that for now, i'll just settle with hitting 97 sooner or later with my own pace

just calculate how many hours a level will take and consider whether you're ready for the time sink

99-100 is 330 mil
if you're pulling 15 mil/hour which is respectable with nothing but beyond breach strands, that's still 22 hours of nothing but eye gouging strandzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>175062513
>suffer through normal to suffer through cruel to suffer through merciless to suffer through dried lake to suffer through early mapping to suffer through shaped strand so you can mindlessly grind bosses with additional suffering

I'm having fun (less than 100 hours so far) experimenting with different builds, but what do you guys see as your endgame goal? Do you kill shaper and consider yourself done with that character? Currency farming? Item flipping?

my goal is to find a better game that is actually fun

time to make mommy proud...

I want to shove Ciri's face in a pile of dung and then go brush Yen's hair

Ciri is for daughtering, not pile of dung face shoving

>tfw my atlas is fucked up because I ran all maps thinking it's just slightly inefficient
>now people are swimming in exalts by chaining shaped maps full of top tier sextants and double beyond and I'm stuck in trash tier maps with horrible sextant locations

Are there any good Standard guilds?
I don't really want to be an autistic retard who plays by himself and think that losing all progress in a video game somehow makes the game more enjoyable.

yeah there are some

Join a Reddit guild

>don't want to be autistic retard
>want to play standard

pick one

there is no point in being in a guild except for guild chat memes

Diablo 4 will save the genre

what if i want chat memes

then you're truly lost
