Path of Exile General - /poeg/

First for if you have fun in hc, you're doing it wrong

Second for this is a hardcore general, shitcrows get out

fuck shitcrows

Anyone done the Quay map? The boss keeps splitting into smaller versions of himself, and at the end he doesn't even drop anything. Shit map or some kind of mechanic?

Sometimes the webhelpers have a leak in which they keep loading stuff from the front page if you just logged in even if you are not on the front page. Then you can easily get that to 1GB+ RAM. At least I thought that that was the problem I'm not sure.

Anyhow just google steamwebhelper ram useage gave me this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/2g29dh/what_is_steamwebhelper_and_why_is_it_going_over/

Basically people discussing scripts on how to autokill it since it screwed with dota. I used steam 1-2 years ago and it remained unfixed for an extremely long time. That's why I just find it a terrible client especially since I was still playing on a comp with 4GB back then and it would kill performance.

>>153927390
Area levels are like 35, 55, 65 and 75 or something close to them. Do them when you feel comfortable. I usually skip normal and cruel until I'm in merciless because lab breaks the pacing of leveling a bit.

>>153927959

If you're set on not using the calculator. Remember that anything more than 50 stat req working against you that has an off color requirement benefits from vorichi 1 color. In your case you have 100 req working against you and 100 for. So 1 green.

Not unless you already 1 shot everything.
The gems I ran last league on my Voltaxic was LA-WED-GMP-PIERCE-FASTER ATTACKS-ADDEDLIGHTNING

Depends on your attack speed though. If its already high Crit multi instead of faster attacks is better.

>>153927390

Most of the time you skip him. Until you're grinding uber lab, because you get an extra treasure key and it's worth it there.

I don't know what your definition of "tanking" entails, but whirling around and dying in <0.5 second to a massive damage burst isn't really considered "tanking" in any accepted definition

Why is SRS allowed to block spells/projectiles?

isnt that overpowered as a defence mechanism?

There's so many ways to avoid that. Whirl away from the boss instead of trying to walk like a retard.
Don't take stupid fucking chances with high damage you just experienced.
Hide behind a tree while that skill is going on. (probably GGG's design intent honestly)

It's a well known fight.
You're greatly exaggurating by saying that's 0.5 seconds and even if it was that's plenty of time.

If there's excuses to be made for him then I'd say it's because he's tired. I don't know, but these racers do put in stupid amounts of hours. Why run hard content in that state when you put in those hours to grind you t9's? I don't know.

incinerate
the idea was to go ascendant assassin + elemental overload for free 40% more damage. the 1% crit would get turned into 5% (because you can't have crit chance between 0 and 5%) which would allow for 100% uptime through just casting incinerate
i tested it before the league started
but now when you start casting incinerate either all projectiles will crit or none of them will until you release the button, at which point it resets

Because you'd have to be a complete moron to die solely to the spikes. You have atleast a 5 second window to get the fuck out of heal up.

Darts and the roaming discs are far deadlier and inconspicuous traps.

I always thought lab was pretty great in terms of content in this game. Decent rewards for the trouble and most importantly readily available, which is a nice change of pace from the soul crushing resource management hell of mapping that will probably make me uninstall the game during this league.

>>153947742
It's actually the only well-designed part of the main game. The tension for the rest of the game is microscopic with very little variance to the threat of the enemies. Lab is a well-deserved callback to the elements of roguelikes that made them popular and worth imitating

>>153947337
It's supposed to slow you down and keep you on your toes. Can you imagine how boring lab would be without the traps?

Most of the puzzles can be skipped with lightning warp anyways. Hell some secret areas with loot chests are only accessible with lightning warp. The only truly frustrating puzzles are the end game ones in maps.

>>153948352
>if i say the design is bad then it's bad!

Learn what gameplay beats are. Before lab there is nothing of value in the actual gameplay of PoE and the only other good part of the game consists of running magic/rare maps.

>It's actually
Nope.

>>153946392
Darts do zero damage, the spinning discs and shit are scary because if they suddenly switch direction to where you are dodging things get hairy very quickly.

>>153948306
Exactly, I love the balancing between going fast/getting max keys vs risk of bricking the run, though many builds kinda trivialize the entire place but that's a problem with general balance in the game.

In most other areas there's little difficulty/tension until you run into nasty shit that's only difficult because you need quick reaction times, i.e. Path of Logout Macro.

>>153948291
You still poison on hit and have 30-something to 50% chance to bleed, it's no big deal.

Here's a simple comparison.
Assuming your weapon is the same with both skills, at level 21 gem, EQ has 110% of your weapon's damage, HS has 196%.
That's almost a 90% difference in favor of Heavy strike, but then the aftershock of EQ, which if you're running the usual Less Duration version, will happen within mere moments, does 1.5% as much damage. For a combined total of 275% of your weapon's damage in a massive Area of Effect. To Heavy Strike's 1 target 196%.
Earthquake outshines any other Melee attack skill in the game except Ancestral Warchief, which is overall slightly worse, but can still be as good.

It's a catshitter tree alright.

So I've been trying out PoE a bit and like it so far but the one problem I have is that the game feels very sluggish.
My fps is constant 60fps with some drops to 58fps and ping is constant 50ms. And still I experience random hick ups where my character kind of lags and moves like he's under water. Is it just the game engine or my PC? Are there any fixes for that?

life leech nodes worth taking on an EQ build?

i honestly don't quite get how leech works even when browsing the wiki

>>153956015
>_earn_ your map progression
>Is still 100% random drops, but now with restrictions on the pool your (0) drops can roll

>>153956123
get ~2% attack leech through gear+jewels+tree
duelist leech cluster is the easiest way to achieve this when you lack gear

getting a +1 instead of a +0 due to the atlas bonus is literally tripling your map returns in most cases

>>153956268

I usually run blasphemy warlords for leech but how important is max leech % and % leech per second?

sorry if these are retard questions

>>153956448
Correct, but that requires you to have gotten all those map drops and completed all their bonus objectives to build up enough of a % bonus base to get over than hump, which if the map drop rate is utterly abysmal, which it is, makes it pretty much pointless.

>>153956749
there's no easier way to explain this than the wiki desu
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Leech#Mechanics
the tl;dr version is that

increasing max leech % makes you potentially tankier (you can outleech more maximum damage) while

increasing % leech/second makes your leech instances more effective, leading to you needing fewer leech instances to reach your cap (this greatly helps vs single target, e.g. bosses with no adds)

if you're cookie cutter melee, i wouldn't worry too much about it
if you want to dedicate a melee build to leeching, slayer is tailored for that

>>153957108
No, it means progressing at first is slower, with fewer lucky bumps and no +2s. Hence earning your progression, not running Dried Lake to 85 then buying maps on poe.trade like you used to in 2.3. EARNING your progression.

Hey /poe/

I have a fully respec'd level 58 duelist without an ascendacy class. I also just found a 5-link/6-slot two handed level 58 sword that I used an alchemy orb on.

Don't want to CoC.

I was honestly just planning on buffing the DoT portion up, then whirling blades to cross maps dropping it.

Other option is to use a +3 staff and flame dash. I was looking into using Star of Wraeclast to get Illusory Warp, but the 8s cooldown means it's absolutely worthless.

How do you keep track of what uber trials you've done now?

So is ice spear any good?

>>153959794
not really
playing it is really eye opening to how the monster AI is and how they've set up their difficulty
monsters jump on and in melee range before you can even react. Ice spear's buff of damage doesn't justify the poor mechanics (even with GMP you don't hit everything)

SRS

>>153960101
To make IS work you really have to do a fire conversion and prolif. Only problem is you now have to invest 4 points of elementalist into a single node since they made conflux useless.
