>>140437370
The calculator is based after thousands data points gathered by as many players. Your conclusion is based on a sample size of 2. You're an idiot. You'd probably think it's impossible to roll a 6 with a dice after you've rolled 5 twice.

>>140437302

>>140437596
Yeah, I'm an idiot for following that shit calculator in the first place.

>>140438486
okay you can keep gambling your chromes away because you lack a basic understanding of statistics and what they tell us

poe is a game of knowledge, and you'd rather rely on your own intuition or superstitions than look at the data, you're an ignorant fool

>>140438397
It'd be interesting to see how many people abusing broken interactions that the masses don't know about come out of the woodwork when those finally get nerfed. I'd reckon that'd be zero.

>>140439205
why would i? i don't post on the poe forums and am definitely not a redditor newfag virgin like yourself

>>140438849
Aren't you just blindly trusting some asshat's potentially out of date calculator? I mean, the thing literally says "The formula and color chances given are not guaranteed to be right."

>>140439586
I would attach a certain degree of trust to statistics gathered over sufficient data points, yeah

why would you trust your own empirical data based on a most likely very small sample size over one a thousand times larger?

>The Top 25 of each Ascendancy class in each competitive event will be awarded a Demigod's Dominance.
This fucking sucks for Scion players. They have to compete with 3 times as many players for a top 25 place, if all classes were played equally. Since Ascendant is one of the most played, it will be even harder to get a demi as Scion.

Really? I don't think many people here were top 25 of their respective class 16 days into Perandus. And that wasn't even a racing environment, many people were busy with a farming build or doing their challenges. I'm sure it won't be that easy with people solely focused on pushing ladder and nothing else. Sadly, I won't be able to poopsock for 2 weeks because it coincides with real life obligations, but you gotta be prepared to play at least 12 hours a day for 16 days if you want to hope for a top 25 place imo.

>>140453650

this "competitive" race will be easy as fuck

>>140453650
It's essentialy top 75 of each class since you can respec classes. In what will probably be a dead league top 75 will be like 92~ except for maybe duelist. You can get 92 in 3 days self found and 2-3 days on new characters. If you really poopsocked it you could probably get 5-6 characters in demi range.

>>140453969
>It's essentialy top 75 of each class since you can respec classes.
Nah you can't anymore, post was edited, ascendancy respec will be disabled in the race. You gotta pick a class and stick with it.

>>140453969
Top 25 threshold for a race that lasts 16 days will certainly not be 92, even for the shittiest classes like raider or berserker.

No idea, it's a pretty strong class but reliant on unique flasks to unleash their true power. Pretty unpopular though because people dislike piano builds, might be worth a shot in shitcore since you go extremely fast with a crit pathfinder build anyway.

I was thinking about doing a Hierophant for the race.

Can't fucking do Grim Dawn anymore because the game just gets so stale. None of the builds seem interesting so I thought I would take a gander at this so I am installing it now. Any other GD players mind giving me a good comparison between the two games? Saw this game has an actual necromancer so I am real fucking excited to try that.

Corrupting Blood is a bleeding debuff that causes physical degen.
of Stanching is a flask affix that removes bleeding.
Orbs of Transmutations, Augmentations, and Alterations can convert common white items into magic blue items, add affixes, and reroll affixes, respectively. This obviously applies to flasks as they are an item.
git gud.

>>140462382
Are you trying your hardest to misunderstand the point? Spark has been the most OP gem in what, the past 6 months? Voltaxic isn't even hard to get with Cadiro anyway. Good luck even approximating that kind of reflect-proof, map-mod impervious clear speed with your special snowflake build. For every 5c you spend rerolling a map you clear in 10 minutes, a sparker has chained 3 maps with no additional map rolling cost.

>>140462713
Of course I know what Orbs are, I'm not that retarded.

Its still bullshit that this applies to tanks, death shouldn't even be in their vocabulary considering that they are made to not die

>playing the memest of memebuilds in a two week race

by the time you get the voltaxic and achieve the clearspeed your're describing it will be at least a week into the league and the victors will mostly be determined by then

also, because a vast majority of the tryhard poopsocking playerbase will be playing voltaxic spark the demand will be high and the supply will be low, especially in HC

and also, in the end clearspeed isn't that important unless you're going for top5. playing at a steady pace and not dying is what really matters.

>>140462915
Considering Bleed is a physical debuff your Armour must have been hella low for the Bleed to have completely canceled out your flasks. That or your flasks were too weak.
Probably both. A tank must have many forms of mitigation.

>>140463193
There's no way my armor was too shit, I had top of the line stuff for my level. Though I never upgraded my flasks because I was basically immortal except for that one fucking part so I never saw the point in it

Caustic Arrow
Essence Drain

Not as fast clear speed, but still pretty damn quick. No overpriced and in insanely high demand cadiro unique required (although ED kind of wants consuming dark). Only a 5 link required to clear pretty much every map mod barring monster life enfeeble quickly

Can do all the map mods

>>140463290

I got a voltaxic farming dried lake in day 1 of the league
might have been lucky though

>>140463789
To be fair, he's only pulling one T1 unique out of his ass

It's just that the T1 unique is going to be more in demand than like ToH and coil and shav combined

>>140463945
it's a T1 unique that literally everyone will be after, and he'll need 5 offcolor sockets, and those winds of change gloves as well and those are rare as fuck. you can't expect to get any of this easily unless you're a popular streamer or RMT
>>140463934

is it top 25 alive or top 25 by experience to win a demi?

I just said that...

Also, you use a tabula, not a linked voltaxic

I suppose it's possible to just farm lake and non elereflect maps up to like t9 with normal spark and a tabula

Also winds of change aren't that rare are they? Or did they make them lab only?

Do Mjolner discharge builds still exist as an endgame? Thinking of getting back into this, but I won't if they fucked up my Scion too much (was rainbownuke with kingsguard, still have shav's and some other legacy stuff).

Wow, you're right

I guess GGG didn't update the ladder CSV like they updated the actual ladder

If you care enough you should write about it on the forums

I wonder if trackpete's ladder api has ascendancy classes and you could use that

You have to be truly shortsighted and myopic to call a decision like this lazy. What's obviously going on is that 99.5% of their resources are committed to making the next league (2.3.0) really great, but they are also hearing the cries for a race-esque 2-week event.

So they went above and beyond and are providing BOTH while trying not to sacrifice anything at all (probably by working lots of overtime), and you're sitting here calling them lazy because you don't like the content they provided.

Absolutely bonkers how entitled that attitude is.

>>140473619
If i wanted to play for two weeks I could go roll on standard. The odds of me getting ~300 dice rolls for a prize are pretty much zero and grinding through act 4 3x for every character has become a chore.

Normal is mostly a walkathon by itself outside of act 4.

don't abuse that link

ascendant = 2003

slayer = 111
gladiator = 861
champion = 3333

assassin = 643
saboteur = 833
trickster = 913

juggernaut = 646
berserker = 293
chieftan = 869

necromancer = 706
elementalist = 510
occultist = 778

deadeye = 639
raider = 430
pathfinder = 237

Inquisitor = 471
Hierophant = 230
Guardian = 336

So for the race go pretty much any ascendancy that's not champion or ascendant and you're cutting out a good portion of the competition

>>140474279
hierophant literally the lowest. amazing. it's not even a bad class

>>140474361
hierophant's conviction of power, which is one of it's best nodes, didn't work with totems until like halfway through

now that it does going SWT with hierophant is actually good, whereas before it was shit

also, slayer is lowest. which doesn't really surprises me, but I feel could be a sleeper class for the race. the free splash link if you're not using earthquake/cyclone + 20% AoE is half an AoE gem, and the leech stun immunity is great too

so it's a free link if you're using a subpar trash single target melee skill with no clear speed, got it. the whole point of EQ is that it comes with a fucking melee splash built in

No it wouldn't. There are plenty of "memebuilds" that rely on zero uniques.

Yeah, because you totally can't sell good rares for money in a fresh league.

You would still have donations of good rares, 5 and 6 links, maps, etc.

>>140484748
GGG has some dumb fucking idea now about making leagues that don't have much effect on gameplay, so people can sort of opt in or opt out of the new mechanics. You can see a sort of rough 'progress' on this idea:

Beyond -> Bloodlines -> Tempest -> Talisman -> Perandus

From leagues that really changed how you played in your normal mapping, to one that had some effect and you could put some effort in to get rewards (tempest watch), then a league that had very little effect (except bonespire) on gameplay and most of the content was locked away behind a terrible grinding system, and finally a league that has close to zero effect on gameplay except for raping fps and the economy.

Pretty much kills the game if you've been playing for years and have done the mapping grind dozens or hundreds of times. Last time I had any real enjoyment out of mapping were the 1mhc flashback leagues, and if they stick with this design direction those are probably the only things I'll come back for in the future. These new leagues are just too fucking boring, and they seem to be done with adding even their mild effects to the base game (why can't we have the occasional tempest? nope, clearly a better idea to throw away all that content we created.)

Might as well go play in perm.

on boots.

Yes, I fell for the lab farming meme and paid dearly in time for it. I just want to know if this is one of those things like rolling Surgeon on Nessa's Quicksilver Flask that I should know about before still trying to brute force it.

And on the second day things did not get better. The rain fell hard and cold, the white sun never broke through the low grey cloud, and they were lost. But it was the dead thing they found hanging from a tree that changed the trip beyond recognition. All four of them saw it at the same time.

Right after they clambered over another fallen tree to stumble into more of the scratching bracken, they came across it. Breathing hard, damp with sweat and rain, speechless with fatigue, they came to a halt. Bent from the weight of the rucksacks, bedding and wet tents, they stood under it. Looked up.

Above them, beyond the reach of a man standing upright, the dead thing sagged. Between the limbs of a spruce tree it was displayed, but in such a tattered state they could not tell what it had once been.

>>140535679

predictive mode was improved a lot so there is less desync

lockstep mode was added which is a lot more responsive link from server to client, and while not flawless (can still cause desync + some other errors in very rare cases) it's still far superior to predictive as long as your connection is stable and low latency

get all the movespeed

i really hate all the shitters that post videos of their builds clearing a t7 map and consider it a nicebuild™

reach fucking endgame before you consider your're're build "good" and endgame means red maps

shitcrows are so shit. filthy casual scrub shitters

>>140545204
>reach
>red maps
this doesn't work, you're a liar.

>>140545204

>there are people in poeg that can't reach red maps
absolutely, unequivocally, fucking disgusting

>>140545992
I can't reach redmaps because chris turned them off for me

do alright at t10 though

>>140546173
are you doing 150%+ quant maps? if not then git gud

>>140545992
I'm only telling half the truth, I've reached red maps before.
Left them with lotsa Wharfs and Arcades!

how do i into guardian support poeg? i want to support my way to another demi this race

>>140545746
You should be oneshotting everything in the dried lake anyways, so the only ways to improve your farmspeed is to get more movespeed.
That and maybe quantity/rarity on gear will yield more drops.

>>140546504
do i go crit with v spark lake farmer?

reminder that perandus manor has a carto in it that drops a ton of t10+ maps

>>140546729
I have no idea about memebuilds that farm dried lake, it should be faceroll anyways since dried lake is a piss-easy zone.

>i'll use abyssus in HC

lmao shitcrows lmao

How much ES should I have before going CI? I kinda want to get it as early as possible in Cruel before getting assblasted by Chaos damage, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get the gear/nodes fast enough.

I want to have slotted Ghost Reaver before.

>>140548175
abyssus works just fine on hc, mathil is a shitcrow so his build was very flawed due to low armour etc. and he lacks the sense of when to be careful

Perandus race huh. What's your build gonna be so I can steal it?

>>140543837
pls respond, thank

>>140548175
he obviously died on purpose

>>140475505
I made a Retch last night, and I was planning on doing this exact thing. Shenanigans with Endless Hunger seem quite interesting. Definitely not FotM levels of power, but still worth a shot.
