/poeg/ - Path of Exile General

What happens if a boss would drop a +2 but you haven't unlocked any +2 in your atlas yet? does it get rerolled into a +1 or is that drop essentially lost?

>>154615691

After you finish cruel you go back and do normal lab with good gear. Or you can pay someone to carry you for easy ascendancy.

>>154615626
Fuckign arrange them in a fucking bearable order

Jesus , they were nice enough to give them a nice color scheme

>>154615691
The most difficult part of lab runs are the stupid traps. Izaro is all physical damage. If you have a lot of phys defense he should be easy. What build are you running?

Just got to Act 4 Cruel as a Deadeye Ranger. I am pretty sure my build is garbage and total shit, but I want to stick with this character at least until I beat Merciless. How realistic is it to get enough regret orbs to totally respec a character? Should I just roll a new character if I want to make a new build?

Also are A4 Mines as big a difficulty spike in Cruel as they are in Normal?

>>154616078
If you really want to respec you should only partially do it - and even then you get like 20 refund points from all the quests.

>>154616078
if you can salvage your build within 10-15 regrets, do it, otherwise start over

Cruel Daresso/Kaom are the only real difficulty spike

Are magic items useful on their own, or do well-rolled magic items just exist to get regalled? Also, is it like D2 where magic items can roll affixes that rares can't, or can rares roll anything a magic item can?

>>154616078
you get like 20 respec points and you can buy regrets

unless you have fucked pretty much your entire tree or decide to drastically change your build (like going from bows to swords), respecing mistakes is easy enough

>>154616385

How do I deal with Kaoms fireballs? When he is dying all 4 corners have waterfalls shooting them.

Does anyone know if Inquisitor's Instruments of Virtue counts spells cast from triggers ie. CWDT or Kitava's Thirst?

>>154616341
>>154616385
Thanks. I already spent some regrets earlier because I had the genius idea to get 0% life, and realized around level 40 that shit wasn't gonna fly.

Daresso and Kaom kicked my ass on normal, hopefully I'll do a bit better this time around.

>>154616505

its almost never worth it regaling them unless its jewels or you are playing ssf. rares can anything a magic item can

there are niche builds that use Hidden potential which benefits from using good magic items, but that isnt very common

>>154616534

cap fire resist, have some life%

those are a nonissue really. what you should watch out for is kaom's slam

>>154616639
Do regals have a use other than upgrading good magic items? Or do you get so few of them that you can spend all of them on jewels?

>>154616912
You can use them on GG weapons with T1 crit or physical mods, in the hope of getting more GG mods. If you do the lvl 75 recipe then normally you should have plenty of regals.

You'll want to have around 170% life from the tree when you hit level 70.

>>154617659
you dont need to reach that kind of life bonus until you began doing t5+ maps

>>154617659
I think I'm currently just shy of 100%, and I'm searching for some more nodes. There's one near the center of the tree with a fuckton of +%life and some nearby +%resists, so I'm going after those.

>>154617152
What does t1 mean in this context? The highest-tier of a given mod? E.G. Merciless for +%phys?

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and give advice, btw.

>>154618160
you do when you're playing on the right side of the tree

>>154618262
>The highest-tier of a given mod
Yes. The mods are unlocked at certain levels. Highest level of mods are ilvl 83 and up. You can hold alt and mouse over on an item to see its ilvl.

Try to cap your resist from gear but don't sweat it too much if you're not quite there yet in normal or cruel. At merci things start hurting quite bad if you're not capped but even then some builds can push into the 70s without being capped. It's not recommended especially if you're playing HC.

>>154618262
Aye, highest possible mod. Merciless, Tyranical, that kind of stuff.

Still a rather nice and extremely expensive process, and essences are imo a bette rtool this league

>>154618381

youve easy access to vp, acro, and can trivially run blasphemy temp chains and enfeeble because attacks are almost cost-free

>>154618618
Thanks. I'm currently 75/70/75/-20 resist on Cruel. I can't really get anything to give me decent chaos resists atm. Gearing even just a little bit of Chaos Resist with my current gear results in my elemental resists taking a steep dive, so I'm just not bothering with it. It seems like a fairly rare damage type, so maybe that's fine for now?

>>154618837
20% is plenty for cruel. Chaos is the hardest resist to gear for, but not absolutely necessary until merciless where stuff like alchemists and the spider bosses start being extremely deadly without

>>154618837
No one cares about Chaos res, Chaos res is a luxury. Those resists are ok i'm lvl 78 and i have similar resists. You should try to cap though.

Why are PoE streamers and youtubers and the 'community' so fucking cancer. They attract attention to builds and gear, fuck the market up and drown out actually important things like how fucking bad the overall balancing of the game is or how stupid some shit is but hey they're veterans, they can handle it! Don't remove the fact you go through the same shit 3 times just to get to the end-game content - not only that but people willingly do this multiple times, for multiple characters, for multiple leagues.

Then that end-game content is defined as being 1-shot or you're out or 1-shot and a whole pack of mobs is gone, if you can't stop the first you're bad, if you can't do the second you're bad. But we love this shit am I right GGG? We want more of it! Give us more dumb bullshit to put up with like Lab! Hell this Atlas is so fucking good toss me some more shitty mapping fun.

The skill tree feels like it doesn't have as much impact as it should - especially compared to your equips. Like the whole purpose was to build your own special Snowflake but the reality is you stack tons of health and whatever you need to get to whatever you; logical of course but the only real 'big' modifiers are Keystone passives which can dramatically change your build. I wish there were a fucking lot more of these. Instead people rely on 'Uniques', in quotations because of they're not actually that unique, people sell, buy and move that shit around all the time. They change builds - and enable them - more than your skill tree special snowflake does.

What if there were a bunch of super skill points nodes which everyone could access but you only pick like one. Similar to Asendancy in how you're locked but it's not exactly like that because Witch could dive towards something towards the Shadow's part of the tree but the Witch will never be an Assassin, which is the problem about Ascendancy and how it clearly supports a 'meta'.

>>154624456
>Activate These Waypoints
>Combine three Essence
>Complete These Normal Quests
>Etc.

I said can be completed. Not you will have 10 challenges completed by the end of normal. If you wanted to gauge the player interest in Challenges, the statistic should be taken from people who've reached at least yellow maps, as these are the people who have an interest to play this game in general. Including all accounts with one challenge complete doesn't mean shit, when these people have no interest playing the game past normal or take the full 3 months to do it.

I'm doing an Arc templar, and i really can,t fucking decide between Inquisitor and Hierophant

It's usually because the spinnning blade things appear in the space I was planning to dodge his giant aoe into.

Is it literally just current league challenges achieved and time spent in PoE in some weird sum?

>>154627367
Yeah and the statistic is completely random and pointless. Literally just like the "99.9% of all accounts haven't killed normal Brutus". You'd have to be a massive retard to think it indicates people's interest or "skill" in completing challenges.

It's interesting how you completely ignored the character level to challenges completed ratio and just started firing shots at me and not my arguments. What about my time spent against my level? I used to be able to race the ladder for the first 2 days solo, but have literally no interest in actually racing it vs. just going fast anymore. I didn't check my /played time on 85, but would I be less casual if it was less than 16 hours solo? If I started firing shots, it sounds like this is your first league and you're really excited about your first 24 challenges.

GULP is the fucking worst guild tag ever.

>>154628665
If someone plays and quits on day 2 (you), they're a casual.
If someone plays and doesn't care about challenges, they're a casual. (they play casually to have "fun")
If someone can't reach 24 challenges on 10 days, they're a casual.

It's all I'm saying. You're extrapolating some vague assumption the statistics are skewed by all the casuals who quit early on or never get past normal or don't care about challenges as if that helps contradict the idea that if only 1% of the playerbase with challenges got to 24+, then it means 99% OF SAID POPULATION IS FUCKING CASUAL.

>If I started firing shots, it sounds like this is your first league and you're really excited about your first 24 challenges.
Cute. But there's nothing to be proud about 24 challenges, because it's full casual territory as far as I'm concerned. You actually need to be a mega casual or have some good excuse not to have 24+ challenges by now.

That's because it's true. It's skewed by people who have no time or interest in playing any further. GGG posts these statistic to create hype, but they actually mean literally nothing.

no one goes life anymore, they transition to CI eventually, which means investing 3ex on a rathpith is a waste of currency

>>154632041
>no one does block anyore
gladiator is stupidly overpowered.
if there were a skill centered around blocking it be fotm meta right now

I wanna make a CI Ancestral Warchief build, what's the best way to go about it?

My current idea is to go unarmed with the soul strike quiver on an occultist: poeurl.com/L0I

I get the tank from soul strike, but the damage seems shit compared with a dagger.

>>154632301
but gladiator gets 100% block to spellblock conversion which means they would never use rathpith, something like aegis or any cheap 30% block shield would be better

really not seeing what warrants its current 3ex price

>>154632293
It's still an easy BiS without the life for Pathfinder and literally everybody's playing Pathfinder Blade Vortex. People also use Stone of Lazhwar without any block nodes on tree.

>>154632293
so you're gonna have 10k es instead of 12k, what a disaster

>>154632205

ED with enough aoe means you cast once and you clear 2-4 screens of monsters. The higher density the faster clearspeed.

I could get 300 mil xp/h or more in high density meps.

>>154632041
>>154632301
I've got a bunch of block nodes and i can say its still a solid defense but since they changed the tree to make it harder to cap block (around rampage i think) it certainly feels like a shitty investment. There are parts on the tree where it takes 4 nodes to get 5% block and alot of other defenses are more economical. If you could capitalise off block offensively (besides reckoning) it would be stronger.

Is this how you warchief?

>>154633387
gladiator or necro can cap block with ease these days. its hardly build-crippling

Why? I can curse on hit instead of blasphemy, and all the other auras suck for strength phys builds.

>>154635295
I just really want a unique where you can stack armour and trash dudes; like an armour version of dreamfeather.

>>154635443
How about a unique jewel that says "Increases and Reductions to Armour in Radius also apply to Melee Damage"

>>154635404

hatred gives your totems chill on hit
AA gives you phys resist and makes stuff unable to chase you

dunno if you are basing your build on PPT's, but he went bm because he is playing ssf and has access to gear beyond his streamer_rng

>>154635868
has no*

>>154635936
Both of those chill effects are only useful against trash and this is a boss-killing league.

>>154635443

why not something that grants you a degen aura that is based on your armor

a bit like RF or Blood rage, in which you also take a portion of the damage it inflicts on yourself (so you'd also need high regen to sustain it or phys reduction, favoring juggernaugt builds)

>>154621001
This. Go with something you make yourself (even if it's based on some other build) and gear is fucking free. Made a melee gladi, decent weapons for a few c and bringer of rain for cheap

>>154624609
The game is definitely too focused on health nodes and big hp/ES pools. Has been forever

>>154636014
you are going to need to kill a lot of trash before you reach the boss-killing stage

and thinking 11% phys resist is pointless for bosses will lead you to a playing style that will get you killed anyway

>>154636041
Degen makes no sense in the context of armour though.

What about a slowing effect, like magnets and shit because armour is heavy?

>1% increased Quality of socketed Temporal Chains per 1000 Armour

>>154625631
Melee is fun and good right now, try it

>>154636241
11% phys resist if you stay still, which i shouldn't be as a guy that puts down totems and runs/jumps around.

Also, i'll take 11% more life and BM over 11% less phys damage taken any day.

>>154636271
the degen is just a stand in for a proper thorns or reflect-based thing that doesnt exists in poe properly

there was a super-slowing build not long ago and GGG hated it and gimped temp chains. i doubt they will want to let that happen again

>>154629794
Melee build with do little life is going to suck. Go duelist or jugg

>tfw you realize you can use heat flasks for strongboxes that freeze

Holy fuck, I'm an imbecile.

>>154636351

you are still while you cast totems, which you will be doing plenty on those boss fights

stacked with a +30% quality enfeeble thats almost %50 less phys even with the effectiveness penalty from bosses. if you think your armor nodes give you anything close to that, you will soon realize you are mistaken

Currently trying out a Spectre-focused Necromancer with the Unending Hunger jewel, was wondering if anyone has recommendations for what monster to run? I had hoped Evangelists would gain increased AoE from Soul Eater, but they only gain damage and cast speed, while Stygian Revenants get massively increased attack speed, but their AI is utter garbage. And does Undying Hunger stack in any way? Is it simply 2 separate 20% chances to gain Soul Eater? Can spectres only have 1 instance of Soul Eater?

That's a meme. If you're literally passing through the duration cluster, you should probably take them, but not sacrifice a gem slot. The DPS is increased only for time of what Increased Duration adds and if you're constantly stacking storms. Rather just use a damage gem.

it's stupid

why are some skill gems corrupted? not talking about the vaal ones
did that make them into 20 quality?
are they worse than a regular 20q skill gem?

>>154644824
Skill gems dropped from corrupted Gemcutter strongboxes will drop as corrupted. Using a Vaal orb on a skill gem can increase its quality or its level (even above the regular cap), but they can also reduce those statistics, and sometimes, do absolutely jack shit. Getting a level 21 version of a gem that scales hard with levels - like Blade Vortex - is a surefire way to earn a shitton of dough

>>154654387
i think it's a good leveling ability but since you can NEVER hit targets more often than 5x per second no matter how many balls are on the field, then you miss out on a multiplier from cast speed increases. Plus, many tiny bolts makes it much harder to proc shock compared to one big bolt.

>not understanding the potential of the best class in game

It's 5x per second per cast, so LMP/GMP would be worthless.

Would ball lightning totems be decent?

>>154657550
wait, really?
then why don't people use it? the base damage is huge, and it's a projectile + AoE so you can get damage buffs from pretty much anything

>>154658082
>so LMP/GMP would be worthless
LMP/GMP is still useful to get good coverage of a pack
just like it is with every skill in the game
the shotgunning nerf did what it was supposed to do and made those gems into a tradeoff of raw damage paid for AoE coverage, only a few abilities still shotgun.

for some reason my path is super fucking laggy when I first start it, and it remains that way for about 20 minutes until it's fine. it's like the game has to load everything that whole time. does anyone else get this? it's super annoying playing like this in hardcore.

Does it gain increased damage from Drillneck since it has a 100% pierce? Voltaxic BL traps?

Sounds like you might have issues with your HDD or RAM.

>HDD

that's what I was afraid of, it is install there instead of my SSD. I hope that if I just defrag it everything will be ok, I've made huge changes to my HDD memory wise in the past week, probably needs a defrag.
