Would this be a good League started?
Assuming they don't rape double dipping this patch

hiroi uchyuu ni hitori dake no

koware ta toki no hari mo yagate
yukkuri ugokidasu mirai he

let's settle this once and for all
who is /our guy/ and who is /our girl/

So Darkscorn + Soulstrike + CI seems like a good combo. You passively reduce all incoming physical damage by 25% better than armor against big hits.

The question is whether or not to be slightly ethical by actually using it as a bow attack build or by just doing BV Poison

>>169504718
You need to invest heavily in physical damage (not attack damage) and spell damage for physical spells to work out.
Since everyone and trheir cat is running Blade Vortex, I say it's possible, but then that shit is broken af

>>169505681
I tried it once and it's actually not bad because armor doesn't help much against big hits anyway

Is it good enough to build around?

Reading the rest of the thread, apparently firestorm is unethical? Why is it? It was good but wasn't the best when I was using it. What changed?

>>169506401
for the first 3 days, maybe

how many dried lakes can you run while someone runs a single t10 map though?

>>169506529
skin of the loyal and granite/jade flasks
works better if you're a pathfinder

Is one of the best skills of the game viable? Who knows.

>>169506559
See >>169505832 and follow-up

>>169506624
SSF will have problems shaping atlas quickly without trade so Shaped Strand farming will take longer to get going.

>>169506559
>apparently firestorm is unethical?
it is not. use it. top tier leveling skill

>>169506158
Neat, with Raider you can get decent dodge if you want w/o need to spec Acro/Phase Acro. Wear Atziri Steps, get Quarts Flask, add Hinekora ammy and w/ V. Grace on you cap Spell Dodge and get around 60% dodge.

>>169506846
you dont know how things work so stfu

Assuming the maximum reasonable AoE you can get in 2.6 is equal to about 40-50% increased radius now, which skills become less viable/shitty to play?

Rolling Flames fireball? Flameblast? EQ? What else?

>>169506846
and it will take even longer if you stay in dried lake like a clown and don't build up your map pool, because you can't shortcut atlas progression by buying maps later, your point? vsparking dried lake is a viable strategy in a trading league, not so much in a SSF league

>>169505771
>MUH DRIED LAKE

>>169507040
If that happened non-prolif flameblast would definitely be shit for normal map clears but I don't think that's likely.

>>169507204
Probably they will need to click twice per map instead current once, so #muhclear speed will drop by 50%.
>Fireblast is obviously not viable anymoire after severe nerf in 2.6 path

We are bunch of clowns, thatt's what we are

>>169506848
it can double dip in multiple ways

its unethical and immoral to use it

what if you use elemental focus firestorm

more multipliers are pretty unethical
an ethical build only uses increased modifiers

>>169507468
you can still poison with it using chaos convo

>>169507468
nothing bad, firestorm doesnt benefit from stat. aliments (at the rate that's worth mentioning at least)

>>169507395
It'll be viable, but literally everything is viable. It just won't be great.

>>169507650

>being this late to the meta

FB totems ele
Fire Nova Sab
SRS Necro

AOE nerf most likely will hurt Fire Nova leveling making it slightly less safe and its not easy to do shaper and guardian with a first build of the league but t1-15 map clearing are super easy with basic gear.

FB Totems I have never done but Totem builds tend to be not fun to play for me. Really think its very solid first build of the league however.

SRS with melee splash buff might really help clear speed a lot and its pretty easy to gear but the top end is kinda shitty.

>>169506559
Bladefall is kinda okayish, it deals physical damage which is effective, it used to be much stronger in comparison to Firestorm but various changes ans ascendancies have made it less desirable in the current patch, namely it's hurt a lot by its terrible cast time which makes it clunky to use

One way to bypass this is to use the new CwC support which is equivalent to a ton of cast speed and does not have a less damage multiplier like Spell Echo which makes it ideal for Wither CwC poison shenanigans.
Unfortunately, Bladefall doesn't have a duration tag so it's not really "physical Firestorm" and you have to waste a support for poison, whereas Wither CwC Firestorm with 2x Consuming Dark get a free poison link, can scale with duration, and you can use EO for a free x1.4 damage multiplier

Currently Bladefall is like t2, borderline t1 if you go something like Scourge Necro and damage starts to become acceptable but that locks it out of being a proper league starter skill

>>169507803
I'm really considering SRS this league. Seems like it's the only thing besides single target melee that will come out of this AoE change ahead of where it is now.

>>169507757
got me, most of my knowledge was fresh about 2.0-2.2 pathes

>>169508072
Bladefall is T1 if you're using mines/traps instead of casting it.

>>169508353
Not really, the infrequent damage is terrible in breaches and you can't leech, trappers are a terrible idea in Legacy

Flame surge is ethical

is it ethical because its bad?

SRS is p op as a league starter since you can literally get a 6 link +2 on day 1

>>169508450
dunno about traps, but bf mines literally clear red map breaches like its nothing

>>169508589
this applies to any skill scaling with gem level that has an elemental tag, bravo

>Frostbolt is p op as a league starter since you can literally get a 6 link +2 on day 1

>>169508762
I think he might be talking about The Dark Mage div card farm. Overgrown Shrine drops them, Chamber of Sin 1 and 2 drop them and I think overgrown ruin.

Orb of storms is ethical

oh yeah i see so spend the first few days of the league farming low level zones for a small chance at a 6link staff for a marginal increase in damage which isn't even necessary until you reach t12+ maps yeah sounds like a fantastic plan i'll definitely get into the top 10 doing that

I've played a decent amount of Diablo 3, but I'm looking to give POE a try. I'm at level 30 on my first ranger and its going ok-ish, but I have a bunch of questions about the game that aren't really answered in any of the new player guides I've read. A lot of my questions will compare against Diablo 3 for reference, not because I'm hating on POE, but because it's the only game of the genre that I've played before.
Questions:
What are the gear/level benchmarks for this game? I.E., I started a seasonal D3 character a couple days ago and by level 20, I had had four legendary drops and was full yellow geared. In comparison, on my level 30 ranger, I currently only have five yellow items (jewelry and 2 armor pieces), rest blues, with no unique drops. At what points in POE (on average) should I be fully blue geared, fully yellow geared, and when should unique items start dropping?
Loot drop rates: In D3, whenever I kill a blue pack, yellow monster or a unique, I usually get a blue or yellow drop. However, in my experience with POE so far, over half of the yellow, blue and uniques I've killed have dropped no loot or just whites. Have I just been super unlucky, or is loot just harder to come by in POE? At what rate should I expect to get gear upgrades (on average)?
At what rate should I be receiving skill gems, and how should I be getting them? In D3, you just get skills/runes/passives per level. In POE so far, the only gems I've gotten have been from quest rewards, which can lead to long wait times, or sometimes from monster drops. However, the majority of the drops have been unusable by my build. How often should I be getting new skill gems, and are there other ways of acquiring them that I'm missing out on?

Is there a way to expand my inventory? I find myself wanting to pick up a lot of loot to sell, since I'm new to the game and have no currency, but I can usually only pick up 10ish pieces before I have to teleport back.

You have to go back

Imagine this a Unique Shield that casted socketed warcrys on block

>>169510332
all i need is saphire ring for Mev, pair of good snickers and sweat suit for Vaal and 2-3 stauching flasks for Dom, I'm arriving at Highgate, crowd wearing whire robes looks at me. "Noob can't even get 6l" they think, entering Lakegrind party. And they stay there forever.
>lake grind,no boss killing!

>hearthstone isn't releasing any new content
>kripp hasn't said anything

Are we finally going to see Kripp's secret Guardian Double Double Dip Firestorm?

Yeah besides for the fact that he's played it a billion hours and comes back every league to play offline.

>>169511335
>offline

Magma orb is ethical

No fire is ethical since it double dips by default.

>>169510672
You cant expect to find inflationary ammounts of loot, especially early on. Hell, higher difficulties drop loot of previous ones, so enjoy that lvl 20 dagger dropping on Merciless difficulty.
But you can't just wait for your ideal upgrade
By lvl 30 you should have amassed enough Alchemists Orbs to completely clad yourself in Rares ("yellow").Everytime you visit the vendor look for items of the type you want with the sockets and links you need. socket colour arent that important. Sometimes a well-socketed Normal item is worth more than a rare one.

Also, when rummaging through dropped items OR the vendor, look out for the following qualities:
3linked rainbow (at least one blue, green and red socket each, all linked). they sell for 1 chromatic at the vendor
Items with 6 sockets, they sell for 7 Jewelers
6links. Probably worth more than your entire account, sell on the player market

If you CTRL-Click on a place to teleport to, you can choose which instance to go to.
For a poor/newfag like you, ging through all instances of all towns and looking through the vendors' inventory can net you some sweet cash quickly.
Items with 6 affixes sell for an entire orb of augmentation.
Items of the same category (armor, weapon, map, gem, flask) equaling to a total of 40% quality between them or a single one with 20% will sell for an quality-improvement item for that category. But only gems and flasks are worth saving them in your stash

No, you can't expand your inventory, only your stash.
Only pick up rares and smaller magic items, I say 4 squares or smaller. Hell, drop a large rare one to pick up a smaller. 2H weapons are generally not worth the space
Generally, only identify rares, otherwise you're wasting more money than you get out of it. Sell Whetstones and Scrap for Identifying and Portal Scrolls

Also, look through this

this general gets worse and worse with each passing day as more shitcrows and redditors come

With all the beautiful scenery in this game, I would love to be able to zoom out even a single notch. But what are the balance/gameplay implications for increasing camera distance?

Since the game is being expanded on so dramatically, I would love this more than ever going forward. I remember that in Diablo, increasing the resolution let you see far more of the area around you than was intended, and led to breaking the gameplay somewhat with mob aggro ranges.

However, increasing the camera distance in PoE doesn't mean changing the resolution. I love seeing all the scenery the game has to offer, but I often feel like the camera creates an environment that is too claustrophobic, even in areas when creating a sense of claustrophobia is intended/important.

I'm not going to say "X game has a much higher camera distance, so POE should have it too!" That's a disservice to the unique gameplay of PoE. Increasing camera distance can subtly (or not) affect every game differently, even when they're all in the same genre.

unite poeg under the one true banner of SSFHC or watch it perish

>>169512913
the game looks fine
im just weary about early access

>>169510672
Also, since you're here let me give you a quick rundown of the currency system:
There are 12 currencies which are considered "the pennies" since you get a lot of them and paying vendors is mostly done through them. The vendor in each town that sells you gems and wands also sells them in ascending order of worth. In order to descend on the ladder, you need to waste money by spending more than what the product is worth. the ladder is:

Identification > Portal > Transmutation > Augmentation > Alteration > Jewelers > Fusing > Chance >Scouring > Regret >Alchemy

These are the most commonly used items too with the exception of Chaos, which is not in that list but very useful and therefore the standard currency for player trade. Because its worth isnt inflated by people abusing the vendor system.
Then there's chromatic orbs, which are a dead end in the line. They can be obtained for Jewelers, but not vendored into anything else. Which is why you should pick up those 3linked rainbows, so you end up with massive heaps of chromatics and dont waste jewelers when you need to adjust the colour of your sockets because you just found a new skill you want to test.
There are also the Quality improving items sold by the other vendor, but unless you need EVERY single point of defense and offense, they aren't worht much. Gemcutters Prism and Glassblowers Bauble are an exception.

Not true. Using support gems is unethical.

>>169515135
no

what are some ethical JAV builds

I'm thinking about running a life based elemental hit scion ssf hc next season. Any tips?

don't

Totems are not ever ethical. They are an npc doing damage for you, same as minions.
Support gems ARE ethical, as long as they are not in a broken setup

what about rejuvenation totem though

support gems are only ethical if they don't provide More damage

>>169517584
yeah I remember, how did that rebalance content?

I actaully think the game is easier after atlas of worlds, probably due to increased map drops

before you were forced to run shitty layouts/super rippy maps if you wanted to sustain red maps solo/without buying maps

I have that strange feeling that every time I do Myst. Gift I get twice as shit item as the worst of teh 5 i spen... I know about ilvls with this prophecy too, so that's not it...

>>169518028
They came out with the atlas content, changed numbers across the board for map level and monster strength, pack size ect. to balance for ascendancy classes and added the shaper and friends to the end game

Yup easier, but still need to buy maps from other people though, especially if you want to play content that is challenging on any level

I don't honestly remember they did any of this. It's possible, but imo they just changed tiers around based on accessibility and layouts for newbies.

Can you get regen from a tree? If the answer is yes, you do not need a totem

>>169521039
There's no such thing as a "rejuvenation totem build", utility totems are fine and often used unlinked, we're talking about actual "totem builds" as in, builds that delegate their damaging aspect to AI, which is unethical since the player's decision making and aiming are largely stripped away

i want to play ssf with a friend
we can co-op it

so what's the excuse for making uul netol's axe's proc shitty considering it was released together with ngamahu

So I know there are a lot of different ways to shape the atlas but what should I do T13-15:

Do whatever you want and fits your personal needs, there's no absolute answer to this, it depends on your league (SSF/trading), existing wealth, willingness to run the same layouts over and over and over, willingness to give up on potential atlas drops (crystal belt in t13+s), etc

do exiles still drop crystal belts/steel rings etc?

I'd say T10 is too low to warrant spamming so just clear all.
T15 is above the point where you can sustain, so you might as well just do them all. Except maybe dark forest, fuck that map.

dank forest isn't hard tho

isn't it ironic that when considering ascendancies for totem builds, most people will go inq/elementalist while the "totem ascendancies" like chieftain or hierophant are largely ignored

When or how do vendors reset?

>>169521237
If that's your criteria for making a totem build unethical, doesn't that make searing bond and righteous fire totems ethical?

>>169523239
i like it but it does indeed suck that you can't use auras.either go balls deep on mom for extra defenses or BM. 130+ life is pretty neat even for end game

>>169524107
Not really, searing bond still requires smart positioning (thus decision making) from the player, RF totems are debatable but can be likened to casting AoE spells since they cannot move or aim so they remain fairly unethical

an aurawhore can give you auras

>130+ life is pretty neat even for end game

I only play true ethical SSF hardcore. I delete every meta unique I find because it is unethical to keep it. When my character dies, I delete every item in every stash tab because it's not true ethical SSF hardcore otherwise. I Vorici break every six-link I land because it is unrealistic to ever six-link an item in true ethical SSF hardcore. I skip the Labyrinth because Ascendency Classes are unethical powerhouses. Every time a Vaal Orb drops, I immediately use it on a randomly equipped piece of gear to increase the challenge. I've had global chat and trade chat disabled since I got my beta invite back in 0.9.2d, the Merveil fireball optimisation and curse duration patch, because player interaction gave too much advantage. I've sent at least 84 emails to GGG support over the years asking for unlimited ignore player space so I can make sure that no one talks to me when I'm in town. I read and listen to every lorestone, notes, books to fully immerse myself in the true ethical SSF hardcore experience. Every time I go into this general and read the word "meta", "trading", "blade flurry", "clear speed", "Headhunter", so on and so on, I make sure to thrust my giant vibrating dildo one to three times to punish myself accordingly for tainting my TESSFHC experience. I've stolen at least a dozen credit cards from my parents to pay for the 3,250 normal stash tabs that I have to show my support for GGG and the true hardcore game that they have developed. It deeply saddens me that PT left, he was the only one that spoke only truth. Why do you self-proclaimed SSF hardcores even try to pretend that you're truly SSF hardcore? You make me fucking sick

only if you play on 4 non-premium tabs can you claim to be be truly ethical

Hello, I am from the future exactly 1 week from now. GGG just released a balance patch severely nerfing the drop rate of reliquaries and reduced the rate at which high value foil uniques such as Kaom's heart, Face Breakers, Bringer of Rain and Aegis Aurora drop due to the fact that the top .1% of players who reached maps in 6 hours farmed reliquaries already obtained these uniques.

>>169526746

I actually think this is a nice change and surprisingly well thought by GGG standards; the +1 radius per levels is very very welcome on some skills that will no longer feel forced to travel to both AoE clusters

>>169531103
since flameblast radius isn't changed, it's probably a minor nerf
the main reason EQ got nerfed so badly is because of base radius change

>>169531726
>since flameblast radius isn't changed, it's probably a minor nerf
If you had two AoE clusters and used Inc Aoe on flameblast before and do the same now, your total AoE is 53% of the old.
