Holy loving shitballs?

E: I really wonder about the mechanical implications with that kind of mod. If you consume all charges, will you still consume the charge that can't be removed? If so, that's insane for immortal call/discharge. Same of course applies if there's a frenzy and power charge variant for their respective skills. As for Tectonic Slam, the skill says "if you have an endurance charge" so that definitely works.

I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

If you consume the charge that can't be removed then golden apple + kingsguard + 2x fragility is either functionally immortal or a server-crasher.

I guess if you can't actually consume an endurance charge when you're already at your minimum then it can't be used for a lot of things.
ALTERNATIVELY, note that the Eternal Apple activates when you LOSE an endurance charge. If you (attempt to) consume one but don't lose it because you're at the minimum, it won't trigger.

Record a macro that equips and unequips the amulet 10 times a second. Easy.


I am 100% sure it won't work though, I'm sure that it won't count as gaining or losing a charge. However, it may see use for effects we're yet to see.

That's what I love about path of exile, it's not that that affix is really amazing on it's own, it's the fact everyone is wracking their brains trying to think of the hundred other interactions it would work with and break the game.

Hey there,

Thanks for contacting Support.

We can only consider point pack purchases made from 13th November 2018 (9am NZT) onwards as eligible to be contributed to the Betrayal Supporter Packs. I have had a look and I'm afraid you currently have no eligible point pack purchases.

I apologise for not being of more assistance here, but please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Neither of them currently exist in game - they were the focus of previous leagues in the same way that Niko the Mad is currently.

I'm betting that wouldn't work by the logic that removing the amulet would just mean you are no longer sustaining the minimum, so the endurance charge would still be there on unequip but will start to expire.

I've been playing up a saboteur, and trying out arc traps and GC mines. Traps feel a lot better, so why doesn't anyone use GC traps? Coincidentally I've a bunch of gear from my CP build that can be used in a GC build.

Second question, is there any reason why 9 out of 10 lowlife sabo's use mines instead of traps? Better damage scaling?

Because people playing trappers just care about playing all game content comfortably and are satisfied with the already considerable damage of Arc traps, while people playing miners are tooltip whores who can't get it up anymore unless Path of Building says that they have 15 million+ Shaper DPS. (for 1 second, under ideal conditions with all flasks up, if Shaper stands still for 3 seconds of setup time)

If you've never played trap or mine before and you are new/relatively new player then go trap first.

You can respec easy enough into a mine build to see how you like it at higher level. Your gear is mostly the same minus lab enchants and there's a shaper helm I believe for mine builds that you'll want but easy enough to get.

Both steam roll content and gear is pretty cheap minus a loreweave early in a league. I only made it to 220 delves as a trapper before I made a new character but trapper is supposedly good in 300+ delves.

Funnily enough all of that is actually easy to setup during the Shaper fight.

It'll be interesting how they import Bestiary/Delve because I completed probably 98% of the Bestiary and got to depth like 530. So in theory I'll never have to worry about those shenanigans again and just need to collect useful monsters or delve nodes each league from here on.

Looking forward to sitting at 99/100 with Alva because I'll still somehow never get the third tier of Atziri's Throne, forever.

I love this.
As an aside, the instance crash problem could be fixed by capping the number of stacks at 200 or some other reasonable number, then merging further incoming stacks somehow. Or something similar that would put an upper limit on the amount of calculations the server needs to do.

Whats the deal with +life modifiers? I see items with like +80 life and it seems to cause the item to be way more valuable, but that's nothing on a character who already has 3k hp. I equipped one thinking maybe it would multiply with all my plus life skills but nope, its literally 80??

A decent tree has 200%+ life on it, which means those 80 life are now 240 life. That adds up very quickly.

You're absolutely right, life is useless, the best defense is a good offense, they cant kill you if they're dead.
