If you divine a timeless jewel does it change to a new leader? I got the karui one with Kaom and all it does is give me a whole bunch of strength. Like 20 strength per node and like 5% more strength and stuff like that. Pretty useless stuff so I want to see what else I can get. Or I can keep it until I decide on some str build or something. The battle is pretty fun to do so I'll hopefully be getting more timeless jewels.

Divine will only change the seed number.

Divining a Watcher's Eye doesn't change which aura mods it has, so I'd imagine the same applies here.

Mortums into wasp nest and that will last you till craft double poison claws. Stack as much evasion, Dodge and life from gear. I took phase acro and cut back a little on damage for more survivability, you are fragile but packs did to prolif quickly and you need to swap out AC for tougher bosses and melee slash for the hardest content

There are a range of Generals that can be chosen from, and divines not only affect the number, but also which general.

Another jewel question: If I have the actual jewel in my inventory, and I want to see how it will affect the tree in a jewel slot that's not part of my current build (either thinking about a respec or a new character), is there any way to do that other than by spamming tons of regret orbs to path over to every jewel node?

Maybe the super dedicated jewel barons will level up a pair of scions to 50ish and then regret their entire passive trees so they can grab every socket between the two of them.

Divining changes the general's name, and the general's name decides what it changes keystones into.

Is there anything to the legion keystone fights besides kill everything? I did a 2-squad one and I cleared all mobs with a minute to go and nothing happened till time ran out. Loot was poo poo too.

Just want to make sure I get it straight before I do a 4-squad fight.

Is ED/contagion the fastest legion farming build I can make for 10ex? I see grim doing insane farming with a TS deadeye but he has like multiple mirrors worth of gear

if you just want to farm legions as efficiently as possible you're better off just SSFing an ED build and running an easy map like city square or strand as fast as possible tbh

Reddit has helpfully advised me that I look like a "15 year old fortnite boi"
OK, I'm really happy with my build. Here's my official write-up.

Dahbadu's Voidforge Budget Slayer (Legion League)

You can probably build the core of this (sans 5/6-links) for around 1 ex right now.

Level 94 PoB Link: https://pastebin.com/KwBChPSk

Yes, that's 1.5+ mil Shaper DPS nearly naked and with no jewels slotted or quality gems. (This is on a 6-link with max buffs, though).

Required Items:
- Voidforge (about 50 chaos as of this post)
- Tombfist (1 abyss slot cheap version, 1 chaos)
- A rare item that grants Aspect of the Spider (e.g. ring, boots etc -- can be had for cheap this league, like 1-5 chaos)
- Mark of Submission ring (that you put Elemental Weakness in, 1 chaos)
- A couple of suffixes on rare items that give about 80 Intelligence combined
- The magic Flasks noted in the PoB

Added nice things:
- Helm (e.g. Starkonja's) w/ Elemental Weakness Enchant (pretty cheap this league)
- 20% quality of Elemental Weakness skill gem
- 20% quality of Vengeance skill gem
- Lion's Roar Flask (this is the most expensive item; just use a magic Granite Flask until you can get one)
- If you're able to equal out your resistances (e.g. all at 80% uncapped), then consider dropping your magic Sulfur Flask for a Wise Oak. You'll lose out on a bit of armour (used for Molten Shell) and life regen, but that will up your Shaper DPS to 1.7+ mil naked.
- If you can get Herald of Ash on jewelry (either through an affix or Unset Ring), then you can add an Enhance or Pulverize support to your Vengeance for added gently caress off. You can also add Blood Rage or Berserk instead of making your Vengeance stronger, but that's too many buttons for my liking.

Notes:
- If you like to YOLO you can pick up Vaal Pact on the skill tree for about 1k+ more life leech/sec
- Fill out the rest of your gear with rare items that give resistances, life, etc.
- Right now I'm thinking CoDT (level 14) + Molten Shell (level 18) is the sweet spot

Why go Voidforge?

Phys-based weapons and builds are expensive this league. Voidforges are relatively cheap. The thing is, many of the melee buffs (sans Impale) actually benefit a Voidforge build more than pure phys. The result is a character that will auto delete bosses and entire legions, has a huge AoE radius where you freeze/ignite/shock the entire screen, and has decent defensive capabilities to boot.

I liked betrayal because I completely ignored anything besides the progress bars and picked bargain/execute every time unless imprisonment was worth more Intel. So I had run every safehouse like 3 times by the time I had reached maps and had three times as many uniques/decent rare drops

Legion works because everything is laid out for you, getting more rewards from legion comes down to making a better, crazier character and upgrading, not fiddling with a UI or hoarding items until you can try and combine them or getting screwed out of loot 5 hours later because you messed up a temple or betrayal option.

You're also not made aware of what loot your missing that you can't see offscreen, your just focusing on the big icons and clusters of rares and giant chests right in front of you, so you don't feel bad that you didn't get a chest or general that you didn't even know was there.

Tenzarin posted:

Barebones isn't the word I'd have used. It's quite satisfying**, even though it isn't fancy. There's a lot of meat here, it's just, like, simple ground beef instead of something super overthought from one of those cooking shows where the word "plating" gets used with a straight face. And that's my food metaphor for today.


**when things are working on the technical backend, of course.

How do I get the filter at filterblade.xyz to only show me rares of good bases with ilvl of 83+? I see where I can filter out which rares I want to see but I don't see anywhere I can specify an ilvl if I really only want to pick up poo poo that can roll the t1 affixes.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

Can any goons give some tips on making my EQ Slayer better? Right now I a just waiting to get to 70 so I can grab the level 20 skill gems, but other things I wanna do is grab Herald of Ash, and maybe Arctic armor. But I feel like my mana pool will be pretty dead and I'll have to constantly chug to cast EQ.

There are ilvl options inside the Crafting: High Level Bases section, or you can set up your own rules down the bottom in Add Additional Show/Hide Rules which show all the options by default rather than a drilled-down version of the options.

Same. Hot tip: Veiled items from Elreon are worth cash money dollars this week cuz all the cyclone builds can be solved with his "-X total Mana costs from skills". Apparently on the market there is a flag for who the Veiled item dropped from.

I liked Delve because it's just killing things getting stuff, which you can't easily find elsewhere. Well besides the sulphite man why'd sulphite have to be a thing.
