Trying to decide between these two original builds that haven't been tried before: LA/BR and Warchief.

I think they'll work well with the changes GGG made, and kudos to Chris and co. for the meta shakeup.

>>180651219
Yes. The MTX pool is split between all versions of the event. Demigod's items are not. So if you want one of those, your best bet is Saboteur/Ascendant in regular HC cause there will be some tryhards doing it in SSF HC.

Im on a burnout since the beginning of Legacy league. I mean, i got to lvl 75 and then called it in. I cannot play this shit anymore.

>>180653069
Yeah, it's pretty easy to burn out on Path of Exile. I've been taking it easy since I finished up with Legacy myself. A few races, gonna enjoy Mayhem for a while.

>>180653069
Kinda same here. I toughed it out and got my 36 and i'm on a break ever since. Only did a couple of races for the box.

0. SRS Champion
1. Flameblast Totem
2. Melee Ele Hit
3. Abberath's Fury Shield Charge

Asking once more before rolling. Recommend me a build for Mayhem.

Stupid responses encouraged.

>>180653204
ele hit

>>180653171
>>180653193

Idk what to do now... i have 2 weeks off work, the Legacy is still on, so i think i might try to get 36 before August.

Or i can just race... idk.

I got a bunch of bargain bin shit during the Steam summer sale, ever since I got burned out on poe I've been going through my backlog playing old shit I missed. Really not in the mood to play until 3.0 drops, just want that first week of fresh league + new patch notes and changed meta.
Also, holy fuck Revengeance is so much goddamn fun, cant believe I didnt get it earlier.

>>180653958
It kinda takes that middle ground between D3 and POE, but it seems that people would rather go full on exciting play like D3 or full on large customization like POE. I personally think Torchlight 2 is fun especially with the synergies mod that greatly opens up player options.

So...is there any reason at all to use Ancestral Protector over Ancestral Warchief? Warchief's damage scaling is higher while also covering a wider area per attack while Protector isn't even really AOE plus it's APS boost isn't even that high.

Yes.

Literally who cares about Standard/base Hardcore?

>>180656005
Who cares all the time you have while alive will be voided in the end anyway

so basically you win a ton of the same footprints?
i'll pass. races are boring. now home till sunday night anyway.

wondering what to do for 3.0 pretty neweish to game and only done ranger/raider so far but glad life will be better

2 weeks is literally the same as a new league
who the fuck plays a league longer than 2 weeks or cares about where your currency tab goes after it ends

Okay, /poeg, a serious question.

A famous streamer offers you to become his bitchboy in the upcoming 2 week race. You will have to do everything he asks in these 14 days, but if he wins you both will be famous and respected in poe community.
Would you accept his offer and if yes then from which streamer exactly (if you have a favorite)?

Hard mode: do not pick Mathil

>>180656863
No, not at fucking all. I don't care who. Streamers are cancer and free Internet points don't interest me.

why would anyone care about being famous or respected in any online community. let alone actually work for it jesus christ.

i'd spend my free internet points on giant eagles i could ride around cyberspace on

>>180656235
>Literally who cares about Standard/base Hardcore?

Well, I was actually contemplating to try hc league for the first time (outside of short races ofc) in a long race. So i'd like to keep the hc char even if he's only level 50. Fuck wasting 2 weeks and getting absolutely nothing.

>>180656863
not even reddit respects streamers bitchboys

of course they don't respect them
they are jealous, friendless neckbeards

>>180657025
you can be a streamer like dismantle who barely plays and when he does just uses free shit given to him as he yells for donations and giveaways. even though he got rekt by GGG d can no longer give in game items

>>180656863

What did he mean by this?

WHATS A GOOD SSF SCION BUILD FOR MAYHEM

NO MEME REPLIES THANKS

like if you have to ask you are going to lose 100%

>>180657219

If your streamer loses then sure. But if he wins...

>>180657321

Only /poeg hates them and mostly because poeg doesn't really good players who would deserve such an offer in the first place. Top streamers would only chose the very best.

>good scion
>ssf
>no memes

just go champion and leave scion to the pros who definitely won't die and give you a free win

>Fuck wasting 2 weeks and getting absolutely nothing.

It's a video game, shithead. You get nothing either way.

>>180659009
I never play my characters in standard anyway so I don't give a fuck about voided.

Playing ASCENDANT in the 2week(e*)SSFHC

*ethical

btw beta is shit and 3.0 is shaping to become utterly shit i.e. grand spectrum changes, death to vaal skills (okay with vaal spark and fireball nerfs, but getting 260 souls to get 8 stacks to reave is grade A "GGG" fucking retarded measure), death to DoTs. And making Scion Great Again by making it only option what comes to choosing class thanks to 50% reduced reflect dmg and shoehorning meta to direct dmg "hit" builds.

goodbye cancer

>>180660112
>Vaal Reave
I was unaware of this change. Given Reave is already objectively worse than Lacerate, that seems like an extra stupid change to me.
>Scion is the only option
Endlessly lolling.

>free Internet points don't interest me

But if your team wins and you become famous you could start your own stream career one day. Just imagine - you'll be able to live your dream of playing your favorite game and getting paid for doing it. Instead of soulless wagecuckery or pointless neet-dom.

>>180660351
>either (thing) with (thing)
Your grammar is atrocious. Proper sentence:
Saboteur mine build using either arc or frostbolt with Mind over Matter or Acrobatics.
>>180660421
I don't like popularity or people.

what a coincidence that people don't like things they can't have

>>180660421
>streamers have ruined poe
This is objectively true. The game back in Beta was shaping up to be a truly hardcore experience for ARPG fans. Then over the years, they do almost nothing but make changes to appeal to steamer-shits and their ravening horde of fans plus whiner casuals.

i am a hardcore diablo clone player
i play the slot machine all day--neglecting all of my personal responsibilities for a +1 long sword

>>180660791
Don't forget continue to make nothing but braindead new skills because they're revving up for the Xbox release which will be the final nail in the coffin.

>>180660351

>>180661026
crit gem + diamond flask is fine for crit

>1-week race
>steel won a demi after dying at 98 and rerolling
>havoc won a demi after dying 3 times and rerolling with 2 days left
this is the state of competition in hc. if you don't die and aren't completely retarded you'll get your scion/saboteur demi.

Does anybody even use Acro anymore?

>>180661390
You can also do Deadeye. So few people actually play it when Pathfinder and Raider are usually better.

>>180661390
The longer a race goes on the more it becomes about nolife poopsocking than it is about actual skill

they have won because they can level faster than anyone else. They play for 14+ hours a day when pushing the ladder and are willing to take risks to get more xp. Try to "play it safe and not retarded" and you'll lag behind havoc even if he dies 10 times and your char will be alive.

>>180661390
but playing poe is torture

you are just testing the ability to not die from real world poor life choices in long races

>>180661380
im talkin about your multi its really low
also you didnt pickup the +1 mine next to volatile mines

Are you gunna use the rod? ifso consider pathing more towards the templar for more crit / crit multi + life

>>180661772
oh yeah i forgot it's completely impossible to reach 90+ in 5 days as scion unless you're havoc.

I can not agree with your opinion. Many streamers, ZiggyD excluded, speaks about GGG in very negative manner. What I do not agree with is that streamers are basically immune to bans, at best they get week or two timeout. On the other end players who are not streamers get permanently banned and GGG's support ignores to even give explanation why account was banned. Otherwise you are right.

Streamers constantly cry about GGG following reddit groupthink for balance decisions and not them. Best thing is all streamers have different opinions about everything, so I have no fucking idea what they expect from GGG.

>>180662373
While I do see your point on the first bit, I did not say the Streamers agreed with GGG, just that GGG pandered to them fucking endlessly.

Are people really considering to go for demi against teams of streamers?
These people are nolife maniacs, who stay awake for days playing the game + they are supported by dedicated traders.
A lone player can't do shit against them, unless he's willing to go even further.

But for what? For a CHANCE to win a fucking demi? You can get some demi items as cheap as 5 ex on standard nowadays. Even if it's 300 ex for Demi Triumph it's just isn't worth it.

At least streamers are doing it for more viewers, more subs and money. So they are getting compensated for their effort. Wtf regular players are doing it for at this point? You ain't going to get shit and you'll waste a lot of time and be forced to sleep deprivation for 2 weeks. You have to be fucking insane to even consider doing that to yourself.

Maybe it made sense earlier when racers weren't in teams and it wasn't so competitive, but now? Why?!

>>180662882
nah i just play for fun

All streamers are going SSF, because they got butthurt about people calling them out for bitchboys. There will be less competition in normal HC than ever.

>>180665984
Sunder is a fabulous melee skill if you're using the right weapon types (mace, axe, staff).

I think I might just do another incarnation of my Pillar of the Caged God build from 2.5 as my 3.0.0 league starter. Basically just stacking strength to power Geofri's Sanctuary, adding Shaper's Touch once it becomes available. The addition of Brutality and Chance to Bleed should help the damage quite a bit. Maybe run Gladiator (instead of a marauder) and make better use of the improved block rates on staves (although I wish the Gladiator minor nodes works on staves in addition to shields and dual wielding).

It ends up being a pretty comfy hybrid life/ES setup. It also lends itself to those Mind over Mater memes everyone seems to be going gaga over these days. Can add a Voll's Vision to really crank the ES regen, although at that point it's getting to be an awful lot of uniques, and resists start getting tricky without some GG jewelry.

>playing in groups
Enjoy your 2 frames per second

1. Part of me really wants to buy a currency tab right now. But at the same time I have only been playing the game for a couple weeks with one character I started with and another that's facerolling everything as Ancestral Warchief build. Is this game good? I miss it right now and I am out of state atm.

2. Also do you guys usually focus on more than one character at a time when not racing? The Vaal spark build looks really cool to me since it fits the Templar so well and I like general Templar lore, but it's expensive and with so little time left in 2.6 I feel that focusing on ancestral warchief guy might be best option.

3. One last thing about ES. So this nerf would reduce a crazy good ~22k ES into a ~14k ES, right? Even with 14k though isn't it good enough to still facetank everything in the game, still making it the superior choice?

>>180698612
currency tab is a must man
same for div card and ess imo

also preumiums for poe.trade. i know it makes the game feel not free. but they truly help
not into racing but i normally stick with same char most part unless they fail

>>180698935
Dunno about the essence one, especially since they'll be even rarer without the leaguestones. Although i have a feeling they'll have it as a Zana mod next league.

>>180698612
If you haven't bought anything before, and you think that you'll play this game for more than 100 hours, get a currency tab ($6) and a premium tab upgrade ($1) no matter what, then any combination of an essence tab ($3), divination card tab ($4), regular tabs ($2 or 6 for $11) with the remaining points. Avoid the essence and div card tabs unless you plan on playing a lot more than 100 hours.

>>180698935
>>180699905
Thanks for the advice, guys. Will probs pick up Currency and one premium upgrade once I get back home from this trip. Although I am wondering like that other guy if essence will come in handy after this league at all since it seems that leagues historically change it up a lot except the current one.

Oh and one last curiosity. Not having reached endgame yet, all 51 of my chaos I have gotten is through trading away Alt, Alch, Fusing, and Scouring orbs. What would someone with a seemingly endless supply of chaos orbs want so many of these lower level orbs.

>>180700482
yeah maybe not ess but the div card i a big hep too imo. I guess I am still in 2.6 era

crafting
slamming maps
deleveling gems with scours

>>180700482
You have to buy the points in $5, $10, or $20 increments.

>>180700696
>alts
Not everything is rear or desirable rear. Flasks and crafting for example
>alch
You need an item to be rear to use chaos
>fuse
You can't link items with chaos
>scour
You want items white sometimes. Crafting or taking away undesirable magic or rear stats

Thanks for the answers everyone! Ya know, /poeg/'s kinda cute in its own weird way where you guys are shitting on the game most of the time but are always willing to answer my noobish questions. Much love, and goodnight.

"Real" RNG is the base version that normal players get. It's become increasingly obvious over time that popular streamers get their own version of RNG (with less randomness) to keep them happy and playing, drawing more attention and players to the game.

It's also likely that employees have their own RNG system as well to test/play internally with.

This shit isn't rocket science.

You can't handle grade school probabilities. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with rocket science, pal.

>>180777629
Elaborate/give links about flagged accounts please.

Why doesn't the logout script work for me? I see streamers logging out at 1hp all the fucking time and it never fails. If I log out from any situation I'd die in 5-10 seconds even, I can't log back in until my characters dead. Logging out is instant, but logging back always takes as long as it takes for my character to die. I'd be perfectly fine with this it that was the 'rule' for everyone, but streamers keep fucking abusing it and I can't.

would poe be more fun if you could change a character once a week or something to another class of the same level? I love diablo games but holy fuck regrinding every time to try out new characters is just so brutal that I havent done more than 4 so far and I cant bring myself to play more even though I have two legacy taste of hates (one found, one bought for like 1ex from a noob, both right before the legacy announcement) that apparently I can sell for a nice amount of ex to gear myself up. every time I see the game I feel like just playing modded Torchlight 2 instead since I can power past grind and play the fun parts of the game asap.

No. If 'regrinding' for a couple hours is 'brutal,' then go play something else.

I bet GGG has a feature where they can look up accounts linked to twitch and their twitch views for major players and start bumping their RNG rates to make it more entertaining for their reddit friends when they 'X gets 4 6Ls in Y fusings' or something like that

I have seen popular streamers spend several chaos rolling flasks. I would say they turn it down if anything. Seeing those reactions increases views

Why are there no flask nodes on the left side of the tree
