The actual Beastiary league was different, but the way it works now: 1) Every once in a while you will meet Einhar 2) He will join you as a follower and will spawn either a yellow or red beast on the map 3) Killing said monster will cause Einhar to capture it 4) It will add a new recipe to your master crafting bench and/or become a component for one of the recipes The original version was, shittier.

Scottishprog posted:What would a good overall strategy be for a semi-noob? I'd suggest picking something that runs lab well and doing that + Atziri (uber lab can drop a lot of fragments). I'm not sure how it will pan out this league, but my GC miner could do both without breaking a sweat and clear maps rapidly. I wasn't seriously trying to make currency off either lab or Atziri but I made a decent amount selling uber lab enchants. Cheapish beginner builds are mostly good for getting a foothold for a second character so don't invest too much into them if you want to try something else.

We did a final purge before the league starts. I think I got everyone from the backup guild an invite to the main one, and there's 3 slots open in the main guild still.

Something like: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1957409 Or is there another build guide you would recommend?

Scottishprog posted:Something like: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1957409 That's the one I was following. I will say that I used a different skill tree and gems/jewels since that person updated the guide after I started it, and that a friend gave me a pair of really good statsticks. It was still quite good before I was able to equip them though. I think I got to act 6 with Tabula, Lifesprig, Abberath's Horn, and some blue/white gear. I was still one-shotting most normal mobs with Arc mines, but I felt like I was taking a bit too much damage. I never managed to six-link my Loreweave so I stuck with Tabula all the way to level 91. You don't have to start with this build, but it was a blast to play and it doesn't look like it will be changed much in this league. Either way, it should make a perfectly good starting build that is capable of doing all content if you decide to invest in it.

yegods posted:Neat! Looking forward to the new league. The only thing he left out is, captured beasts can be sacrified (read:fought in an arena) for rare craft recipes. Some of them allow you to add beast aspect such as spider (15% more dmg taken and slow aura, 25% reserve). Wiki has full list of beastcrafting. Some aspect beasts are over an exalt, so may wanna check what's good. You also get a zoo.

Ein Sexmonster posted:Bosses don't have reduced shock effectiveness any more. Yeah but with Shock you have to deal a certain percentage of the boss's hp in order to get a good shock debuff(unless you've got guaranteed shocks from somewhere). With Impale your damage per hit doesn't matter. Seems odd that it'd be effortless like that. On the other hand you don't need 100% shock chance to get good shocks...

Shock increases damage dealt by % of HP that it dealt. A crit that deals .01% is ignored. The only minimum is from Elementalist and other guaranteed shock% like Vinkhtar.

If there is still a spot could you invite HoboMinions? Edit: Is it me or does herald of purity seem to be made for a champ impale build? It gives flat +phys, and the minions get a 20% chance to add stacks of impale to bosses on hit. Feels like that would be a decent boost to single target. I also have not really played a champion before. I get the permanent fortify and armor is a lot of your defense but what do you do for life gain. Life steal or regen normally?

So not only did they make stat sticks unusable for melee, they also halved the phys as extra ele mods. They could have done just the latter and it'd have been fine, imo. Now, barring some really buffed crafting, I'm not seeing most melee builds survive.

I'm doing Ice Nova totems pathfinder for sure now, it's going to be hard not to just Loreweave AND res flasks though. Soul Mantle still an option. e: with Malachai's Artifice of course gonadic io fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Dec 5, 2018 |

Grimoire posted:LGOH (say from claws with an attack skill that hits real fast) and/or leech from the tree Thanks. I'm actually really disappointed that the steel skills are axe/sword only. Not being able to use a claw sucks since several claws seem to fit the skills really well. Mortem Morsu, Wasp Nest, The Scourge etc.

Dance Officer posted:So not only did they make stat sticks unusable for melee, they also halved the phys as extra ele mods. I don't think they could ever balance out "main hand only" melee skills with any good weapon mods vs. 2 handers/dual wield/shield builds under the old system. The crafted weapon mods in the Betrayal spoilers so far have been significantly higher (ie. double) the old crafted mods, so if good weapons are easier to get, it might balance things out while leaving less of a gap between the "good" weapon skills and the rest. "Phys as extra" mods on weapons being far too good for any phys based damage was a whole separate issue, even if there was overlap between the problems.

I'm at work so only skimmed through the patch notes. I was waiting to see whether Arc is getting nerfed and had decided I would run an arc if it didnt. Are 3.4 builds for an arc/lightning spire trapper going to be more or less correct?

West007 posted:Are 3.4 builds for an arc/lightning spire trapper going to be more or less correct? You should be ok with a 3.4 build, and if you play ES it will likely be somewhat improved in 3.5.

I feel like once you've added a modifier called 'Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier' it's time to stop and reevaluate your design decisions, or at the very least your naming scheme. Really excited about everything being nerfed, except for the ones that weren't nerfed (boo). Time to figure out which buffed unique weapon to build around this League...
