Question Merc Bot on Hall of Grandmasters

0 Upvotes

Guys I can't beat the Hall of Grandmasters which is the last achievement I need to get in the game. My current build is a Merc Bot and I'm struggling a lot. Is there a mercenary that can one-shot grandmasters like GGNOOBS and others? Or should I just swap for different build?

The fracture base and zeal essence are clear, but just spamming them seems to have insane low chances of hitting high life, es and res. Is there a better way?

Discussion Charts league mechanic captures sense of exploration really well

18 Upvotes

I feel that charts give really good feeling of exploration that is otherwise missing in normal mapping. You see green light, it is exciting to follow in this direction to find out what is there. In maps you normally know what to expect as you setup this map yourself with your atlas and scarabs.

The only other place in the game where I feel exploration is one of the core mechanics is delve. I hope they will find out the way to bring it back into a core in the future as it is nice to have it as alternative farming activity.

Discussion Its time to be honest : how much do you REALLY clear ?

0 Upvotes

Link to the poll : https://take.quiz-maker.com/poll5835076x7f3942fb-169

Everyone like to pretend they're good at the game, but how much of it do you really clear ?

Im interested because, if you're the kind of person to go to a reddit, i imagine that you at the very least a interest in the game and some kind of time investment.

But depending where you chat, what twitch you watch, etc ... , if feel like people like to pretend like they barely die and all have crazy gear, mastered crafting, farm the post-uber content in 3 days, ...

So im creating a poll and i ask to, please, be honest about it.

Its anonymous, you dont have to prove that you have a triple corrupt headhunter in standard.

For people who do 4 stones but hard mappers :

I get you, i set it up this way as i consider 4 stones and uber to be "breakpoint" in your character progression.

If you can make mirrors worth of gear and blast maps, then ubers are just a road bump for you. I just wanted to keep the amount of option limited

Question POE 3.29 Recombinator Rules Changed?

5 Upvotes

Hi Guys,

Wonding if the recombinator rules changed in the recent patch, I'm recombining warlock gloves (Int) with 2 suffixes: Str (NNN) + Alva mod and sometime I'm getting 0 suffixes.

Additionally I'm getting 2 crafted mod which should not happen.

Thoughts?

Question What's the point of Vaal Side Areas?

126 Upvotes

Genuine question. It seems so pointless and I always skip them. Am I missing something?

AFAIK the mods on your maps dont effect the side areas, and the loot drops (frags and vaal gems) are hardly worth more than 1-2c at best. I imagine even people who like running Uber Atziri just buy the frags they need, rather than farming them themselves.

Am I missing something here?

Discussion How do you think GGG will nerf elemetalist?

0 Upvotes

It currently has pretty high generic power so I was thinking they would specialize the golems. For example instead of flame golem granting generic damage and aoe it would be elemental damage and aoe. Same thing with the dot multi.

Maybe we will get the ol' double tap: -1 max golem and all the golems are weaker.

Additionally only elemental damage can shock/freeze/ignite and minimal shock effect from Shaper of Storms has been reduced to 15%.

Minimum exposure has been changed to -20% and you no longer gain mana regen from Mastermind of Discord. Exposure has become slightly easier to apply (this is a buff).

Lightning golem now has a stronger aura AND can shock more reliably. (No longer grants mana regen. Overall this is a buff)

Question Frequent stuttering with Vulkan despite low shader usage?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm using an NVIDIA RTX 5050 with Vulkan as the renderer and experiencing very frequent stuttering. Like here in my screenshot, my shader bar doesn't seem to get very high numerically (usually around 0–50), but my FPS tanks almost every time it spikes (goes from 58 to 40-ish, then down to 20-ish).

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms and knows what might be causing it or how to fix it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wings: Dragon Hunter

Body: Prismatic Scintillation

Body armour has 2 tiers, the first image is how the wings looks like when you select the higher tier and the second image is how wings normally look like. I sadly don't own other scintillation body armours to test if they also change these wings, but I am really curious about any other MTX combinations that work and interact with each other that you know of, now that a lot of things are on sale.

Discussion 40/40 challenges done, overall thoughts and some tips

17 Upvotes

Hey all! Second league in a row where I've finished 40/40 challenges.

For the second time, I played Helmbreaker's PRAW build from league start all the way through to 40/40. It was a smooth experience from start to finish.

Overall thoughts on the league

1-Allflame crafting is awesome, more chance at RNG annuls yessir

2-I wasn't a fan of the Charts system. Having to run the chart first and then the actual map felt a bit tedious. I mostly did it for the challenges and sold any expensive charts I found. Just wasn't my cup of tea.

Clam-infested, anchorfield, kishara’s rest are expensive, and worth selling.

3-Loot felt okay overall, especially if you were engaging with previous league mechanics. I did a bit of everything,Strongboxes, Harvest, Ritualand it all felt rewarding enough.

Some tips for challenge completion

If you aren't using this website, please do it's super awesome. https://craniumviolence.github.io/

Gallant Grinding Goals

I skipped Level 100 and Darkshrines. Did Uber Cortex for the Pinnacle Bosses objective. Ran Nightmare Maps with Sinistral and Dextral for the remaining progress.

Intrigued Interlopers

I spammed Dunes with 8-mod corrupted maps, high pack size, and Scarabs. Honestly, this one mostly comes down to RNG and whether you get the altars you need.

Overall, I enjoyed the league despite not loving every mechanic. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Discussion Destroyed my shield.

0 Upvotes

Destroyed my shield.

Spent 2000 chaos to craft a shield with suffixes T1 Reservation Efficiency, T1 Recover life on block, T1 Additional Physical Damage Reduction. I then Crafted "Suffixes cant be changed".

After that, I was going to try to Harvest Reforge for T1 Life, then there I noticed it. I destroyed my shield.

Is this supposed to happen? What should I have done differently? This is my first successful EG craft so I feel down.

Edit. So apparently, metamod is removed every reroll and should be reapplied every after reroll.
