The easiest way is with a premium tab. You can right click the tab, set it to public, then right click an item in the tab and set it to negotiable price: 69 chaos orbs.

Also, low life builds require some very specific items, don’t be too sad.

Thanks on both things, listed a few tabs of poo poo. Lets hope it won't get too distractive from gameplay

I'd like to issue a formal apology to Elentor on me being wrong.

You can also set a tab to have a global buyout of x currency, and if you have a map tab you can set global buyouts/public yes or no for each individual tier. So for example if you are in yellow maps you can set all your white maps to 3 alch each and never run out of alch orbs.

word to the wise, if you get an item drop that your loot filter screams at you about, and you list it an immediately start getting slammed with offers maybe adjust it up a bit. remember, theres no penalty in ignoring sales

I would recommend downloading POE awakened trade and using to to check prices on items. https://github.com/SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade

They have started using price prediction, i would advise you not to use it because its bad. Look at the price of items and how they compare what your selling and figure out the price yourself.

Rerolled a carrion golem build from ball lighting scion. Wasn't getting the damage past level 70+ I needed and couldn't find the gear in ssf.

So far half way through the acts and it's been pretty smooth with skeletons, SRS, and zombies. Probably one of the smoothest leveling experience I've ever had.

Also given how many minion unique items I found last league, it feels like rng is tilted towards them.

I beat sirus yesterday with a generic physical skeletons build (convoking wand, yellow shield, yellow corrupted 6l. the only special item is an elder bone helmet that cost me like 16c to buy but i buried a ton of currency into trying to craft it to get minion gem level & minion life [it didn't work out])

still have not bought the chaos skelly sword because it costs an absurd number of ex for something that looks like a sidegrade, and i'd have to buy a lot more stuff (triad grip, etc) to support it

every time i dipped my toe into heist i always either crashed and lost the will to keep going or got killed. might have to make a tankier buidl just for heisting.

I feel like heist is intentionally overtuned sky-high so you actually feel the pressure to escape rather than just casually murdering everything as you walk out. Not that it makes ripping in it feel any better, and it's very sad for the HC people.

What's a good spell to use with Spellslinger, aside from Volatile Dead? I found out the VD balls will aggressively seek out offscreen targets, including unalerted guards... so it's not a good fit for Heist.

I kindof want to do bladefall/blast with it but all the builds for that are CoC instead.

pro tip, just ignore small sales if you're busy. it's kind of frustrating as a buyer, but everybody understands that folks are playing the game and might not want to portal out of whatever they're doing to handle a 1c transaction. that kind of sale tends to be for items that are relatively interchangeable, so the buyer will just get their 1c unique from somebody else and be just as happy as they would with yours.

inevitably you're going to end up sitting in your hideout while you look stuff up, take a break to watch youtube, etc. and that's the time to offload your smaller stuff since it's as easy as just inviting the person and making the trade.

theorycrafting for the iron mass whenever i get my hands on one - does anyone have any opinion on missing stuff? i'm probably missing a better way to reserve the mana, as this way you have flesh&stone and dread banner purely for the defensive side

vaal skelly - added chaos damage - withering touch - melee splash - minion damage - multistrike
(swap in melee phys for melee splash on bosses)
zombies - spectres - blood magic - meat shield
cyclone - cwc - spirit offering - fortify
carrion golem - empower - minion life (matua tupuna)
blasphemy - despair - flesh and stone
cwdt - immortal call; flame dash; dread banner

triad grip (white)
aul's uprising
iron mass
matua tupuna (for carrion +2)
lots of abyssal jewels for flat damage

to consider: feeding frenzy instead of empower on golems; rallying cry somewhere for the flat damage

Unless something changed isn't feeding frenzy mandatory for melee skeletons so they zip to everything on screen?

I never found it necessary because you can just summon them on top of whatever you want them to kill. i do have to fit in feeding frenzy somewhere in there though, so i'd have to either put it in the 6l or cut empower. i don't think POB has implemented the weapon so I can't test what would be better in terms of DPS, but presumably you'd want to put it on the golems.

To continue on this, I have a specific tab for smaller sales. That tab goes private when I'm actively playing, and public when I'm netflixing/doing whatever. When I'm rich enough it never goes public again and I upgrade my filter a bit.

In over a dozen builds I sifted through on youtube only one guy mentioned feeding frenzy as a mandatory and explained how and why - to make raise zombies act aggressively and use two support spectres with meatshield gem for sticking near you and defend. So is it really necessary for summon skeletons to use feeding frenzy?

Thanks for all the trade tips, cash is flowing in like crazy :D
If it keeps going like this I will be able to finish the build in less than a week

Just bought one more upgraded a tab and out of 5 default ones it picked 4th lol. I sold the individually listed item in the new tab in less than 10 seconds from listing it while writing this edit. Amazeballs

The build I used two leagues ago was different in that it super focused on zombie with baron hat. zombies with feeding frenzy was nice, but not really needed since I convoked them a lot.

Feeding frenzy on skeletons I considered as a tool to help clear blight maps. Vaal + normal skeletons cast really far away in front of a mob train would mean I get to watch a long, thick, red line gradually shorten pausing only for annoying bosses.

They were cruise missles that could handle a lot of stuff as a throw away minion.

i ditched hexblast occultist after A5 kitava on leaguestart and rerolled to ed/c trickster
yeah it's not a good league start but most importantly to me it feels clunky as hell. getting more area of effect and cast speed will fix the clumsiness somewhat but not enough for me to stick it out.

i'd imagine the ignite version is a lot smoother, but i already played penance brand ignite last league and that felt much nicer since you can just trigger the explode with your instant brand recall and that doesn't need a target.

anyway i'm having fun with my first non-ssfhc ed/c trickster

nah

the problem is that you're dealing with a single point hit and a 22 radius proliferate. sometimes it just doesn't spread, and then you have to blow up a curse. it's also much slower on open maps than vaal fireball.

Playing a Trickster TR build and it feels a bit... lackluster? I'm still in white maps, so is it that I just need more investment in my gear or is that how the build runs? Not sure if I should start a new character, or stick with it.

For TR get the porcupine cards or whatever cheap 6l bow source you can and shrieking essence of dread it, the +2 6L should feel good damage wise through yellow maps with no other damage gear.

Around tier 12ish maps the bosses start to feel pretty bad again, you usually respec then or start going for actual chaos dot gear.

I did poison BF/BB spellslinger in delirium and it was great. It's pretty much a BV assassin build just with obliteration + shield instead of 2x obliterations or cold iron points.

I am slow and just got to maps. I am firmly convinced that Heist is mostly a waste of time while leveling outside of the quest stuff to get it out of your inventory, mostly because it will loving murder you consistently and I’m playing a summoner that could kill most of the Act bosses in about 2 seconds if not for their phase mechanics, and that was before I got a Tabula.

I don’t think Heist is a bad mechanic outside of needing some tweaks and bugfixes. It’s kinda bland tho. Stealth isn’t a real thing, getting punished for killing mobs is kind of lame, and the NPCs are kind of tedious when it comes to actually using their skills.

I haven’t done a grand heist yet because I’m saving up coins to unlock stuff on one. I will withhold judgement until I do so mapping tonight. Hopefully I can get to yellow maps now.

I will say, the replica uniques and alternate quality gems are great ideas to inject new stuff without actually doing much work in terms of modeling or effects but it also sucks because it means Heist either has to go core, or they have to somehow reassign that loot elsewhere, or that content is lost.

It also sucks that they didn’t keep the empowered Lab offerings and Harbinger uniques from Harvest and I hope that stuff comes back like the Synthesis stuff did.

How about it gives the bearer a lengthy and informed dissertation on the concept of consent?

Different question: does it matter if you fail one of the "quest" heists? The only time I've blown it so far in a heist it was one of those, and I don't know if it'll just drop again somewhere or if it doesn't particularly matter, since I have that goon already anyway. It was a very stupid death and I think I'd already picked up like 4c, so that was annoying.
