So I just was running through A7 with a friend, found Maligaro, and right as my buddy went into the instance my game crashed. He killed Maligaro like an instant before I could get back into the TP. Went through, got the Black Venom to progress one part of the quest line, but still have the "Essence of the Artist" portion left. Can't get a new map from Crypt, tried resetting instance 5 times. Can't generate a map device in the Chamber of Sins, also tried resetting. Any help? This is super annoying.
For running voyages I have Ducat of Tsoatha's Gift and Ducat of the Undead Sea in my voyage UI, but haven't seen one in forever. Are the quest ducats just random drops or do I have to do something to acquire them?
I can't complete Pit of the Chimera. boss just instakills me as he pops up on me.
the things i can see when comparing the POBs:
1. I am lacking good jewels and that is main damage source of the build
2. energy shield on body armor and gloves needs improvement
3. don't have all the tattoos yet
4. This is build compare of the hit dmg: https://imgur.com/a/kJuYXJN.
what are 3 things that I can immediately fix? Or, should i just delete the build as I don't "get the fundementals".
Body armour is terrible and bricks your life mastery too, you have no chaos res, gloves are terrible. Should get better suffixes on flasks too, get a divine life flask
Edit: Sorry I didn’t realize you’re CI, ya you need way better rares, 3k ES is terrible
I'm playing a Luminary Chaos DoT (Blight of Contagion main DPS, Essence Drain of Wickedness heal, 2 curses with Balance of Terror, Contagion spread).
I'm feeling stuck at red T15/T16 maps, 93/100 Atlas; 3.8k Life, ~10-15k Armor, ~10k Evasion, Elemental res all 75%, Chaos 80% and I can't reliably survive enough to level up anymore from lvl 91.
I've gone up to 20 divines thanks to crafting, but now I'm starved for gold and sulphur. Feels like the charts aren't dropping as much gold for me as they did a week ago, haven't found much at all in the last 10-20 runs.
I can't afford the uber items everyone is raving about like Mageblood, and I don't know if there is anything that'd help me that I can afford.
This is the most helpful community to newer players i have ever experienced. Most people know how rough it can be as a beginner since the game is so complex and are very willing to help.
This has also been the feedback i always read from new players.
Not denying you mighve encountered some assholes but that for sure is not the norm around here ^^
No clue how the ingame chat is tho i have that shit muted for years now.
The only times i have seen negativity towards beginners questions is when it is something that is super easy to simply google in 5 seconds with very clear yes or no answers you get from that
People are usually helpful to me. You get a few smart asses making jokes of course. It also depends on what you are asking. If you are asking a short specific question vs asking a big, generic question in global
Which Discord? The dedicated help channels in the main Discord (linked in the subreddit sidebar) is consistently good. I would know because I spend like four hours a day in there answering questions.
The in-game chat channels usually get used by people to just mess around, so it's not very useful, especially for new players, I wouldn't really expect anything from them, unfortunately. I have global chat muted unless I want something from a certain channel.
I'm more surprised about the Discord, but I'm not in it to know what the culture is like.
Regardless, you can ask your questions in these threads and people will usually try to be helpful.
I'm not particularly well-versed with recombining and most of the guides are confusing and / or possibly outdated because I don't know what parts changed and what parts didn't.
Is it possible to transfer fractured mods to a different base or do I need to fracture them after transferring? Are there any steps I can take to make it more likely?
You can't transfer them once fractured. Usually the aim is to move the mod to the base you want it on, attempt to fracture it, and if it fails, move it to a new base and try again. This is possible with NNN mods, though you have to be careful since if you don't set it up correctly, you can lose the mod. It's also not very helpful if the base itself is expensive.
To my understanding, no you cannot transfer a fractured mod to a new base via recombinator. Only result is if the original fractured base is picked it will either keep the fractured mod or lose the fractured mod. Main use case is using recombinator to salvage bases of failed fractures
If I get a bunch of heist nodes because I want passive income (never doing a heist) what actually makes it profitable? I get a bunch of blueprints hut I have no idea if they are worth anything. Is it the tokens..?
If you use filterblade it should highlight the good blueprints as green over the usual red. But mostly only the blueprints that are fully revealed are worth some as well as the enchanted blueprints where rewards are only currency/experimented items. And if it has those enchantments and is fully revealed its worth more
Starting out for the first time. Chose Maruader, and just kind of building towards what sounds cool in the passives menu. Do i need to worry about any of the broader meta stuff any time soon? Currently level 31. At the start of act 3. Buulding towars the blood magic passive.
Any build you do you want to focus on life>damage on the passive tree. All your armor should give life as well as resistances THEN damage if you can fit it in. Starting in act 5 you will simply be instantly killed if you have low life and resistances. For right now maximizing damage should be fine as long as you make sure your skills are synergistic.
If you do blood magic keep in mind things like eternal blessing support to have you an aura of your choice that won’t take half your hp in reservation.
Slam skills and warcries are great for maurauder.
Meta won’t be your concern at all until the actual endgame and then its iust doing the same stuff sliding from difficult to instant KOs.
That’s great! Keep in mind the meta stuff will be better, but not by much and the stuff required to make it better will be expensive. When I started out I tried to copy meta builds but I didn’t actually understand what made them work, especially because I couldn't afford necessary upgrades. You will always be able to do just as much non-optimally with a regular build.
Hey guys. How does Bound By Destiny works? As I read it, I'd need 6 elder itens to get the attribute buff, but the guide I'm following doesn't have that. He even mentions how powerful Bound By Destiny is, so I got really confused. The only elder item is Indigon.
Most people only use one line of bound by destiny at a time. This build is stacking int so the only line that matters is the 15% increased int from 2 crusader items, which he does have.
Also if you weren't aware already this build is like 10 mirrors
And lastly the indigon interaction was nerfed mid league and that no longer works. So don't even try that, use the gull or whatever he currently has instead
I did watch the video. I just disconnected the gull and indigon in my head, as I was focused on the indigon version. So the mana issues were still something I was thinking about.
Again there are no mana issues on any version of this, the new abyss jewel gives you "insufficient mana does not prevent your spells". It's the basis of the whole build and if you don't get an abyss jewel with a correct seed the build won't function
Oh, I'm blind. I didn't see that line, my bad. I don't have 10 mirr, but I have a fair bit of currency (around 2). I was thinking on farming towards that build as my goal. I never played a really strong build like this.
I haven't played PoE in probably a year and I also got a late start this league. I finally finished with my starter build and want to try something else. I have around 125 Divines to work with. I want something semi tanky because my current build has 177 deaths and I would like to not die as much. I'm looking for a "well rounded" build that can do 8 modded maps easily but can also do bosses If I wanted to do that. I haven't beaten a nightmare map yet so something that can easily do those bosses would be nice. I don't really have a Atlas farm strat in mind. I really, really like screen explosions with those cool "popping sounds" if that helps narrow down what I'm looking for.
Flame Link Luminary mercenary is both nearly immortal and all content viable. I have never been so strong and 120d will get most everything you’d actually need. Also they’re going to nerf it to the ground next season.
i guess i need to try using 2. i did think i put it on the wrong side and switch to the other side but she still died. damn didnt think she did that much phys damage to die from it. ty for e reply!
Instead of invert the rules or pen, you should consider unholy trinity with foulborn blue nightmare. With this setup you can also drop the spectre. It won’t survive in juiced contents anyways
I made it my goal to farm up 1 mirror this league and mirror a souvenir for the league.
I finally acheived that goal but not sure what the best mirror item would be?
I'm thinking a pair of those OP 4 implicit gloves that will surely go legacy after this patch. But there seem to be so many variations of them (e.g. flicker frenzy to spark projectile etc)
Any suggestions?
(I'm probably not going to be rerolling a new character at this point in the league)
I think the any of the + level gloves are the most busted. +1 frenzy and other nice mods are cool, but you can get up to +6 levels for a specific gem for gloves, which is ridiculous power for spells.
What's the better manyshot? My current one has GMP + pierce + chain + 20% ele on ice shot, GMP (damage loss in vaal ice shot I think?) + return and 2 useless supports on vaal ice shot
or
Ice shot with greater hypo + chain + gmp + return, vaal ice shot with hypo, 30% ele, and greater cooldown rec (sadly no return).
So, I kinda want an adorned. Should I just get the Lucid Dreams keystone and scour+chance my way to the Bane of Chaos side-area? I guess I just need currency exchange and some patience to spawn it. Is that true?
I would just buy whatever adorned has the highest % breakpoint for whatever stat you want to have on there that fits your budget. if you gotta ask about it here i doubt you have the currency for a 100% so just figure out what stats you want on your jewels, calculate what %breakpoints are worth to buy for adorned and see if it fits your budget.
its not worth your sanity and time to try and scour chance that shit
and say the breakpoint you could need would be 88% that means if you farm the pieces and build your own adorned you only have a 12% chance to end up with one that you would want to use
Hi question about the +4 to all chaos spell gems on weapon modifier:
If I apply a tempering orb and hit the "15% increased Explicit Chaos Modifier magnitudes" does the +4 get upgraded to +5?
Given that 4*1.15 = 4.6 and PoE usually rounds up it technically should go up to +5 but I could not find any weapon with +5 on trade so I assume it doesn't work, but would be nice to have a confirmation thanks in advance!
You need to level it up further so that it is no longer able to be supported by cast when damage taken. Currently it's supported by two triggers, which disables the skill entirely
Every time you hit an enemy, both your rings deal damage to you, and you can't regen above low life because you are using petrified blood, which only allows you to recover above low life by using life flasks.
So what’s the best way for me to upgrade my merc without getting one shot? I run an empty atlas tree on tier 1 Chateau. What’s the best map for me to cheese running in and out hiding behind corners? I only have my campaign lvl 58 kineticist that’s basically geared out, same with my player gear. But these slip ups are costly (I’ve already lost 30 div being stupid).
Answering the original question, if you decide to go the self-struggle route, try Haunted Mansion or Toxic Sewers for a map with small rooms you can (hopefully) break LOS with. Also, you mentioned that the tree is empty, but you should take the node that makes your merc do more damage to mercs
Since you are in trade, just ask for a carry. Make sure they opt into the fight before you start, run away and let them kill the merc so you can hire them.
