MMF Freeway posted:Level 95 dominating blow guardian, A7, about 120/40 atlas completion, still working on getting all the ten boss invitations. I like the build a lot but I'm feeling somewhat discouraged right now. For almost everything its a great boss killer but mechanically it doesn't hold up against the new endgame fights. I've got 7k hp, 75/75 glancing blows block with a life on block shield, 79/78/78/50 resists, 10k armor, ~15% flat phys damage reduction, fortify on my main skill, endurance charges, probably some other poo poo I'm forgetting and it's all for naught in the uncharted realms fights because you just can't stand still long enough to hit guys with a namelock skill to spawn the sentinels. Plus they get owned quickly anyways by the huge aoe damage flying all over the place. I'd stop short of saying the fights are over tuned because they're super endgame and deserve to be hard but it is a kick in the balls to have a character that is so tanky against all other content and feels like wet tissue paper in those fights. do you have a blessed rebirth medium cluster? I consider it mandatory these days on domblow, skels, non mi srs

I have a 94 bbbf chieftain and a 91 divine ire elementalist. Both are geared out about as much as I can be bothered and both have done A8 Sirus deathless. I'm sitting on around 25ex in just ex+chaos, just working on atlas completion and the unknown realm. Not really sure what I want to do next in terms of builds, maybe try the blade flurry general's cry stuff.

Aerox posted:I will probably never play SSF in PoE if only because I can't imagine losing the dopamine rush of having something like a Headhunter or even an Exalt drop and shunting it into storage to be ignored because it doesn't work with my build or I can't really do anything with it. I know this is all personal opinion but I get infinitely more excited by having an Exalt drop in SSF than in Trade league. It's not currency (except for some crafts) and the holy poo poo moments from slamming a nice affix to an almost-perfect item is just too good.

You can always transfer the item out of SSF if you want. You can take characters and items from SSF to trade league, just not the other way around.

Estel posted:I started this build and it's fun. Tip for anyone interested, at first Infernal Blow feels really bad when you don't have multistrike or melee range, add Ancestral Call Support and all those problems disappear like the enemies around you when you punch. I know this post is a while back, but I think I'm gonna try that Infernal Blow Hollow Palm build. Any advice for leveling it? I've never played Ranger before -- can you start out with Infernal Blow with weapons and just transition to Hollow Palm immediately or should you level as something else until maps?

Just beeline to a cluster spot and switch your tree later Exactly, just beeline to the bottom cluster slot and start using Hollow Palm as soon as possible. Just stack some Dexterity and try and get some mana regen or mana on kill and at level 22 get a Praxis, it will solve all your mana problems until you get some leech mana form attacks. Someone posted a build with 2 Inspired Learning jewels and they are really fun in rituals. And the buffs they give you seem to apply to Vaal Ancestral Warchief because sometimes i noticed the totems jumping 15 times a second hitting enemies.

Having an Astramentis ready to go at level 20 helps too. Been easy mode leveling just keep a closer eye on your resists. Should get into Maps tomorrow.

I’m loving my Vaal Reavesrike build you've no doubt seen if you check the fourmsm (KissMeNow or whomever). I have a few key items to push me over the top, or are necessary for the upcoming full stop / item check that seems to happen with screen pop builds. This build uses BFlurry as the boss swap gen. Changing out only 3 gems on a white socket chest. Used to love the skill but it still feels like rear end compared to the current melee meta. Anyone have another gem idea for bossing I could try out? Goal being as few swaps as needed but as long as ifs items and gems I don't care. Or just have at it.. https://poe-profile.info/profile/Ynsae?realm=pc

Control Volume posted:Wheres everyone else at? League started Archmage Cremation Necromancer, played this to 97 but really was not 100% happy with the playstyle. Mapping was a bit too slow and the two button playstle made it not smooth, boss dps was great unless the bosses moved a ton like Sirus then it dropped off a cliff. Still an incredibly strong build though and one of the tankiest things I have ever played. For someone playing at a slower pace I'd 100% recommend the build, it's incredibly forgiving to mistakes, almost nothing can kill you. Crafted a whole new set of gear with Harvest and burned over 100 regrets to swap into int stack wander Occultist. Not nearly as tanky but good enough, and blazes through maps at top speed while still having fantastic single target boss dps. At 99 now though I don't see myself getting to 100 this league, likely going to finish off my last challenge and take a break. Got a couple builds in mind to test as league starters for next league that I want to try out still, want to make sure I don't end up unhappy with my starter again.

The elder uncharted realms asc points are extremely good. At the start I was just running random elder guardian maps and then I had the presence of mind to start having maven watch all of them to get more frags. The shaper frags are from 8 sets of guardians and maven invitations. I donno what I had before I started but It wasn't more than 1-2 shapers/elders. This also gave me like 5-8+ mavens to fight.

I would settle for something like you can set your shop vendor a la Ragnarok and so people would be able to just show up, buy, and also see whatever you did with your hideout.

My current experience with trying to buy a couple of items is messaging a a whole bunch of people and the only response I get back is one person saying the thing has already been sold. I'd be very happy with a more automated trade system, whether it be an auction house or some kind of player shops.

RossCo posted:I know random is random, but I also ran a full sirus cycle in Haewark and got zero, having seen none in the maps before that. I'm absolutely sure that they misrepresent how often mechanics spawn. I've heard that it's supposed to be roughly 10% chance for any given mechanic per map, but it feels like there's something under the hood that makes that not true, like its multiple rolls that add up to 10%. Like how wurm online would say 'oh yeah 40% chance to make a plank' and not tell you that it gets rolled 10 times, making it much less than 40%

The +5% harvest spawn rate node takes you from 1% to 1.05%.

ZyrKx posted:As one of those top builds on poe.ninja, here's a somewhat outdated POB: https://pastebin.com/Yjjpr9tG. You can also check my profile for the current extremely expensive setup: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/zyrkx/characters?characterName=DireZyrKx This is great and I am currently level 55ish. You’ve already provided quite a bit of info but I would appreciate anything additional about defensive gearing priorities, flexibility on cluster jewels, and frankly how you stay alive with what looks/feels like little health on the tree (maybe Im just used to playing duelists/marauders).
