Been playing a lot lately, so the patch will be a welcome breath of fresh air. Crit EK this coming league will be fun.

Is there a list on where to find the warband exiles for the challenge? I'm at 9/18

The ones I've found were scout, warbands prophecy, one unique chest, beacon and overgrown ruin probably. Must be something else too

Renegade Warband Leaders - Overgrown Ruin
Redblade Warband Leaders - Beacon
Mutewind Warband Leaders - Sulphur Wastes
Brinerot Warband Leaders - Shipyard

It's not set on which leader spawns though, you may have to run several maps.

Rather have another tiny monkey. 102 atlas completion and managed to get 1 out of the 4 special essences.

I finished my 36 a few days ago and only hit 2 of the 4 corrupted essences. Probably used up 100ish essences of corruption, got hysteria 6 times and delirium a few times as well. 75% of the time the monsters would just release instantly. The portal is meh, but I'd rather have a portal effect than a pet. Perandus Portal still the best challenge award by a long shot.

HoWA, Ngahamu's, The Surrender and United in Dream all created new builds around them. With Xoph's Blood, Choir of the Storm, and all of the other Chayula drops being just solid useful items. I'd hate to see all of these be effectively lost like the Rigwald uniques were.

Ngahamu's isn't a breach unique.

So after playing around with my EA Jugg (which is incredibly fun, holy poo poo) I've decided on running a Caustic Arrow Occultist next league.

http://poeurl.com/0Si is the build I've worked out. It gets something obscene like 300% ES (+15% more) and all the chaos damage nodes. Going to run a Soul Strike / Wicked Ward setup, of course.

Am I missing anything? I know CA is really easy to build for but...goddamn. There's not fuckall to do but snatch ES nodes and the various Chaos hubs.

Maybe take the Atrophy branch by CI over the corruption branch? CA is fine, but I would be weary to run it if you're looking to do ALL the end game content at the very start of the league. Ever since the nerf it's had a hard time doing Uber level content, and Shaper/Guardians have a poo poo ton of HP. Would most likely be a LOT of dodging and waiting.

I have 1 challenge left to 36... Anyone want to bet if, on average, it's going to be cheaper to corrupt 3 remaining jewels or find 7 coffers (or pay for them)? I skipped endgame grind, map tiers, div cards, and one of these two.

Jewels will probably be cheaper, if you only need 3 more. I spent probably 350c to get the coffers challenge. I mean you could get lucky doing either of these, but I like the odds of hitting 3 jewels better than 7 coffers.

Shaping your atlas is pretty much essential if your goal is to make currency/gain exp.

This is 100% not true. I made a boatload of currency without running the same map all season. If you want to optimize your exp or whatever, then yeah, go for it. But customizing your atlas is in no way required to make currency.

Also, life is still fine. It's not as powerful as ES at the moment, but I've done all the guardians as life with no deaths. I haven't tried Shaper this season (did him last season with life based Grandpa totems).

How hard is it to run Uber lab anyway? I've got like 3 characters that need it and soon to be a fourth and I've just not bothered cause it sounds like a lot of effort and my main blocker for running stuff is developing a red map pool(and completing more of the Atlas so I can sustain it). Hell, that's why I roll new characters. I just get bored of doing the map/Atlas homework.

Also, if you don't want a carry, try to run Uber Lab on a day when Izaro is using a two handed mace. If he is wielding dual swords he has this bullshit slash attack that can one shot you even when you can't see him (It hits SO HARD in uber lab). The two hand mace slam attack is much easier to see, so you can avoid more 'bullshit' one shots.

Okay, here's my character: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/DawnOfMinstrel/characters

The character I'm running is LetterheadShark. I'm following this build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1775001

Don't mind the gems too much. I'm still just messing about with different skills.

Lot's of small improvements could be made for minimal cost. You seem to have a lot of stat rolls on your gear which is probably unnecessary now that you are higher level. The helmet is total garbage, buy one with life and res. Lose the lori's lantern, upgrade your ammy and again, find a ring with res and life. With these two items upgraded you can probably switch to dual wielding wands and significantly increase your damage output. Your chest could also use an upgrade, as the 38 total res and 15 life is about as low as you can get. Boots are an easy upgrade too. Each of these upgrades should cost less than a chaos at this point in the league. If you need help using poe.trade let the thread know, as it is extremely easy to find upgrades for the gear you currently have.

Why is Champion so good?
Here's why:
Inspirational
You and nearby Allies deal 35% increased Damage

You deal 35% increased damage - this increases my personal damage, which increases my totem damage
Nearby Allies deal 35% increased damage - Okay, so since totems are considered allies, this is now double-dipping on to them. They're getting the 35% applied to me and the additional 35% applied to them.

Pretty sure it doesn't work like this. Totems can't benefit from offensive auras, only defensive ones (inspirational is an aura).

According to my /played on characters this league I've got...huh, deduct a huge bunch of afk....and I've still got over 500 hours played. Welp! Anyway, I found two reliquary keys in the first 100 of those, and nothing since. It's like it was removed from the drop table for my account. I have at least found 6 (or is it 7?) ex in that time.

Wait, so you deduct a bunch of afk time and are STILL at over 500 hours played? And only 2 keys/7ex? Are you constantly rerolling? This does not seem right. 500 hours is a poo poo ton of actual playtime for the average joe. My league starting character is ~200 hrs and I've found more than that on just that guy (that is basically 0 afk time).

Also, if you are playing HoWA, 100% invest in a pen Vinktar.

Also I'm still buying howa poo poo, so sell me your howa poo poo goons(also lacerate/melee stuff on standard )

So you haven't just gone to poe.trade to buy gear over the last week since the last time you asked? Why do you have to buy gear from goons?

There are always unexplored ways to do endgame content. There are so many skills/items in this game, sometimes people just forget about them.

Mathil just did uber atziri with freezing pulse. Void battery was like 50c last week, now its like 130c (and this is late in a league). This happens from time to time with other rarer uniques that aren't 'meta.' I did uber week 1 with a phys/hatred cyclone build this league. Endgame will still be infinitely doable, it will just take some gearing/time.

I found a Sire of Shards last night, is there anything cool I can do with this or does the nova passive kinda gently caress things up? I kinda thought about trying to do the frostbolt ignite build with it and 2 Frozen Trails for a bunch of easy clear power but I'm also a little worried that the ignites would be too weak without Doryani's Catalyst.

I did a Shire of Shards CoC build for a while (Frost Bolt, Magma Orb, Ball Lightning).

Once you hit level 90 or so and finalize your tree, the game basically becomes grinding endlessly, hoping for drops. I do miss the alternate ways that D3 lets you get end game loot, with gambling with blood shards and upgrading rares to uniques. It always felt like you were gaining ground even if you didn't find a good drop for an entire play session. POE doesn't have that, you might just be SOL at the end of the day.

You are getting currency and can still set goals for yourself in poe. Unless you're playing SSF it's not like you just have to hope for a random Shav's drop or something. Seeing that currency stack up does feel like gaining ground too, kinda like saving up for a car or something.

The main difference imo is that you can get better stuff far more quickly in D3 (essentially targeting legendaries through the cube).
