Alternatively, I could say gently caress it and buy a Headhunter on a character that hardly benefits from most stacks. I still have like 50ex leftover so whenever I pick this back up at least I'll have a cool belt.

Can anyone familiar with coc ice nova look at my pob and help me out? I don't have a ton of currency, and want to upgrade effectively. I can survive OK for the most part in T14/15, but T16 is a challenge and I die a lot. - I need more dps (duh) - I need better leech. Not sure the best place to get this besides a glorious vanity, which I have, but not sure I should invest more divines into. - Some more survivability would help, but not sure the best way to get it. Any advice would be appreciated. I have probably 3~ ex or so. https://pastebin.com/7jwcJrmy

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I will warn having tried a ice shot ranger up to 88 with lioneye's jewel, death's opus 6l, hyrri's ire 5l, bottled faith and a pandemonius (but no voidfletch, which I would need corrupted anyway) the damage felt as bad as the survivability, killed bosses slow, got killed by bosses in one shot, only had evasion and dodge with a tiny health pool for surviving. That's my worry, yeah. I'd like the character to just speed-farm maps, but I absolutely need it to kill the boss and meta at the end as well. The rest is not necessary (Elder, Guardians, Elderslayers etc.). Did you use Barrage for single-target? That's what the build I am following does and it should supposedly help. The links he uses are Barrage, Ele Dam, Full Life, Hypo, Ice Bite, Inspiration. For clear it's Ice Shot, Ele Dam, Full Life, Hype, Ice Bite, Fork. It's not optimal for levelling just yet, but that should be the setup apparantly at 7 frenzies. Inspiration can be swapped for increased critical at lower crit numbers. My intention is to drop most of my currency in it, together with a very good AssMark / # flat Cold damage / crit ring and fantastic Elusive boots. I think I do have the gear options currently to lift the character a bit higher, but I have no frame of reference. We'll see how it goes! Currently level 39, might level it up a bit today again to get to 44 for Death's Opus. Funny thing; got an Exalt at level 35.  Captain Foo posted:I have a 6L opus I'll sell ya for 2.5ex!

If I check a standard character, she's also level 5 with -10 rooms to explore to level up. Yeah this exact thing is happening to me. She's at 5 with 15 rooms to explore and sometimes the mission button won't show up even though i have a bunch stored up. Very annoying.

So I have an Elementalist Autobomber and it can clear maps besides boss in 40 seconds... if I keep it to T5 lol This guy combined Death's Oath with Herald of Ash and it looks really fun, any thoughts on where this ranks among auto-bomber strategies and how many Ex it would cost to get it online? I know the Death's Oath with correct colors is 2 Ex, not sure about the rest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxgDzvHvz3A&t=270s

The one mod on his Watcher's Eye that you would care about is 11ex minimum. Other jewels are 2ex minimum. A good Dying Sun is in the 1-2ex range. Death's Oath is 2ex as you said, and the other uniques can be had for cheap since you don't care about the rolls at all (might consider grabbing an Obliteration with the Increased AoE implicit). So all of that would be ~20ex. The amulet and the gloves are going to be really fun to try to buy/craft though. He did seem to go a bit overboard in capping resists though since you don't need to be 82% over for any reason (minus a couple uniques that care about uncapped resistances). whypick1 fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Jan 21, 2020 |

That would be the smart thing to do, yes. Anyway, I want to give one last character a try this league and to dump my hoarded wealth onto it, I'm trying to decide between a Saviour Flicker strike slayer, champion or raider, or a Pledge of hands low life ice nova guardian. A random poeninja of the flicker strike and ice nova builds I was looking at for reference. https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/...e%26sort%3Dlife ice nova https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/CrazyClassiC/VelesPower?i=0&search=class%3DGuardian%26item%3DMemory-Vault%26skill%3DIce-Nova Has anyone played either of those skills this league and can give the rundown on the clearspeed, boss killing, tankitude and overall fun of the build?

Last night was a fun gaming experience. Mon'tregul's Grasp sceptre dropped for me and now I'm walking around with 5 incredibly buff zombies that one shot everything. I was also eyeballing a Geofri's Sanctuary on poe.trade but they were all like 2.5 to 3ex for a 6/6. Then one dropped for me. I managed to get it 5 socket with 4 links and called it good enough. Also found a sick belt with an abyssal socket which I totally forgot existed in the game. I still don't know what I want to look for in an offhand or if I should shoot for a 6/6 two hander. I doubt I'll ever see enough veiled two handers to get the minions crafting recipes... I also beat Atziri for the first time. That was the boss that made me quit last time I played because I realized I screwed up my build and didn't want to spend all the time rebuilding a new character or spending all my currency fixing my passive tree. tl;dr: PoE is a good game.

Okay, this is probably a serious newb question, but I feel like I must be missing something obvious. I have an "Arc" gem and a couple of support gems socketed into a pair of boots. Everything's fine re: requirements. Arc shows up on my character display as a currently active skill. But I can't use it? It just...doesn't show up on my skill slots, either in the normal or the Ctrl display? From what I can tell, it doesn't require a specific slot location, or have some other sort of limitation that would prevent me from casting it, and it doesn't appear to be a passive/random skill per the description. Edit: And yes, I have open control/UI slots. WTF am I missing here? aas Bandit fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jan 21, 2020 |

I spend 4 acts fighting hordes of undead/solider/elder horrors to claw my way back to Oriath. Once i step through the shoddy portal I end up in a slave pit and have to fight my way out. Who greets me at the end the the slave pits? Tane you fucker! If you can teleport all the way to Oriath why didn't you give me a ride?! I thought we were bros, I gave you so many organs

Yeah, I figured it was something simple. I've just been letting the game assign skills to whatever slot and it's worked just fine automatically until now. Figures there'd be an easy way to do that, but I'm wondering why the game didn't just stick it in an empty slot like always? Weird. Thank you both!

I'm leveling a str stacking Geofri's Sanctuary Mana Guardian right now, hit A9 in 4 hours yesterday. I'm a dumb idiot so instead of playing Baron Zombies like everyone else I'm going with Doon Cuebiyari and going to try Cold DoTs. I have no idea if the damage will be acceptable in endgame or not (looking at about 1000%-1200% inc damage, without getting much CDoT Multiplier outside of the 2 Cold clusters), but I guess if the build feels like poo poo I can always just stop playing it since I hit 36 challenges already. Leveling has felt really good at least, 6L Vortex damage is absolutely insane, though a lot of that probably comes from the fact that I'm DW Spine of the First Claimants. Q: For Zombie builds that use a %Attributes neck over Astramentis and Brawn jewels, how the hell do you get enough Int for your spells? I assume I can get enough Dex since I only need 111 for Hypothermia and there's 30 dex nodes I can grab, but hitting 160ish Int seems a lot harder with a -30%ish penalty from jewels. I haven't planned out the tree fully to see which int nodes I'll hit without converting yet, I suppose.

I think I've got one more build in me this league, and am looking at CWC VD Necro. Few questions: 1. Looking at poe.ninja, it seems like bare minimum to get started I would need a 6L, preferably with a CWC mod and a Scold's Bridle to proc a poo poo-ton of CwDT setups for debuffs and Spirit Offering. I also already have a Doedre's Malevolence and Cinderswallow, which seem popular for those builds. 2. I'm guessing CWC is used over COC because it's hard to build up enough crit chance as a Necro compared to Assassin, while also ignoring accuracy completely, even though COC has a smaller cooldown (I do have an Assassin I could spend an rear end load of regrets on to respec, but Necro seems far tankier). 3. I'm guessing this is a "level with something else until ~70 then switch over" build.

aas Bandit posted:Heh. Yeah, I figured it was something simple. I've just been letting the game assign skills to whatever slot and it's worked just fine automatically until now. A handy tip if you've been letting the game assign things - assign "move" to left-click, so that if you're trying to run away or reposition and happen to click on a monster, you actually move instead of stopping to shoot it.

That is a good one. Another handy tip. Turn on 'attack/cast without moving' option on any of your movement skills. It helps avoid you walking forward first if you click too far away.

Few questions: I think the doedres are actually a key piece of the build, since its how you get cyclone to cost enough mana to proc your cwdt. Obviously its just a nice dps boost too since you don't care about cast speed. I can't say I've tried it but I imagine you could level with it just fine provided you have the usual leveling gear. Just have to put the desecrate in your cwc setup until you can get scolds going. Self cast VD is just fine until you get CWC
