Vorici is the worst boss because he'll be like "go take your gibbering undead horde and scuff that guy's armor up." He's just so unreasonable!

Also Vorici: I'm going to give this mission, that requires subtlety and a light touch, to an agent whose core competency is deleting entire rooms in literally the time it takes to blink.

What I like about map tabs is it lets me know which ones I've completed.

What's wrong with deodre? She dies pretty quick.

And the dumbest boss fight is the quest for the feather. "Whomever has the feather is leader. Choose who to give it to"

No bitch I have the feather! I went searching for it! I fought to the death for it! I HAVE THE FEATHER! I'M IN CHARGE NOW!

Nothing is more annoying than that unique map boss who is shielded and incredibly fast and just runs away constantly.

Yeah the system seems too obviously designed to force me to buy a tab. I'd rather just ignore it.

The system was made 5 years before the tab was, I guarantee you there were no such intentions.

Fragments take up a fuckload of space, before the frag tab I would use 3-4 tabs for frags every league. Also, Chris has specifically said they werent making a fossil tab.

The "save the mostly naked hostage" is the best because after you do it the guy carries on running around slapping spiders or whatever. He must be a very important asset to the cause.

Dudes is clearly just some guy. Ted. I'ma name him Ted. He's Ted the bakers assistant. I don't know why he's important or why he was kidnapped one day but his good buddy Vorici knows just who to call.

Imagine if you could give them armor and weapons and have them as a companion until they die. That would be pretty neat.

Okay, two things. First, I'm doing a weird Inquisitor Dancing Duo/Facebreaker build that I copied from DiggyZ and am trying to do more with, so suggestions are welcome: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Shaboom/characters (character is Orlandu_SHIV).

Second, this dropped and I wanted to brag some more:

I bought a headhunter with my BV elementalist. I mostly just wanted to play with it, as it is so iconic and I've never been able to afford one before. Most of the cash for it came from watcher's eyes, dying sun flasks, and Stygian vise crafting. It is easily worth more than everything else I am wearing combined.
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/FilthyMonkey/characters?characterName=MonkeyMonkey

It is amusing growing giant, running around quickly, and making GBS threads out laser totems. At the same time though, it feels like an expensive toy which doesn't really let me do anything new. What is the general consensus on the item around here?

Headhunter doesn't necessarily do anything special, other than making everything better.

Yeah, it's generally just a massive steroid which is so expensive (unless you found it) that if you can afford to buy one outright, you're probably already steamrolling the poo poo out of all content anyway. It has huge value for the huge stat bonuses too, which nearly eliminate the near for attributes on gear.

It's an extremely fun item, and Ive found and/or bought one multiple times, but for me, it wears thin rather quickly, and I end up selling them fairly soon after acquisition.

I was able to buy one once and it was very fun but now I'd rather use the time and currency to play different builds/other games tbh.

What if there was a big blue ball that exploded and did a lot of damage and I had to log out?

Seriously tho I had no idea what that was. Anyway.. I get plenty of loot from maps so I'm not sure why I want to be somewhere more dangerous.

You play the game as normal, picking up fuel for a mine cart in each zone. Once you have enough fuel you go to the mine and look at the map and pick where you want to go, each checkpoint in the mine has a different set of rewards attached to it. Armor, jewelry, weapons, and so forth. The cart escorts you in the mine and tons of bad guys spawn and you kill them and a big loot explosion happens. The mine goes infinitely deep and gets more difficult as you go deeper.

And yes some of the most dangerous things in the mine are bad guys blowing up after they die, in true path of exile tradition :v:

I'm having a lot more fun in Delve than I thought I would. My goal this league was 12 challenges for the cute birb but now I'm thinking 24 is achievable.

However, I need help! How do I get to this stupid room?

There was a super fast Herald assassin build you could do where you take no defensive nodes and live off of head hunter buffs and just charge through the map. Not sure if that's still viable and youd typically only be doing shaped channel. Cutedog did it a few leagues ago.

Also customary "vaal it or not balls"

No, you need to spawn elder on a red map. The guardians can be on yellow maps as long as the elder is on a red.

Fun Shoe
So I've been working on leveling a Scion aura support character solo and I'm having some trouble killing stuff with a passive tree that is almost completely irrelevant to what I'm using to fight with (frost blades in a tabula). Is there something I'm missing here, or should I be taking a more normal skill tree and respecing into auras later?

e: I do have a fair amount of currency to play with

Yes you should respec or just get whoever you're going to run with to power level you via delves

It's just like real life.
I wish there was an easy way past "remembering where you've been" to mark delve paths that you've cleaned out of loot. Depending on the mods, sometimes it's easier for me to scoop stuff up out of side paths while the crawler is going and other times, I end up doubling back. But I also bounce to maps and so on and eventually lose my mental progress. Even just manually letting put a check mark down would be better than the mess I've made.
