I was gonna run lab to sell jewels for that coc dd build (and like bama and poo poo) but the more I look into the coc build the more I wanna play it

It's really dumb that you lose about 30% of your dps if you don't have those loving totems up, on builds that generally have a much harder time hitting things to begin with, and on top of that for pure damage purposes the best anoint for almost every melee build is panopticon, exclusively because it makes those loving things give you even more stats and not because you care about totems in any fashion whatsoever.

"Area Contains the Nameless Seer" considering my only interaction with him in act 10 of the campaign last league gave me Ralakesh's boots which were a T1 unique that sounds pretty good at getting rarer stuff. You can tack on 2 scarabs that add 12-16 packs of incursion monsters to the area, that is going to be crazy for pack size juicing. Someone is also 100% going to run nothing but harbinger scarabs until they get a map where every harbinger drops mirror fragments and screenshots it, calling it again.

Unless the new high-end scarabs are priced at 3div+, I'll just use any that I drop - at least for the first time, then if it was disappointing I'd consider selling them if they are above 1 div..

I know a few years ago one of the "original 3" left, but he was never a public facing person of the company so it was pretty quiet. I think Mark and Jonathan don't feel as strongly as Chris did about certain topics that were previously hard-no. And I also think that LE's success potentially caught them off guard and got them to soften their stance on some of these previous hard-no topics as well. I know poe has a lot of people who play on the standalone client, but "LE beats poe's all time steam player count" is one hell of a headline that definitely caught their attention.

How bait-y is this Splitting Steel Trickster build? I'm looking for something that can scale from league start to endgame and it's been forever since I've played with CI or Trickster. I'm getting a late start so don't mind a bit of jank, but I'd rather not choose something that's going to fall apart at yellow maps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qZPhvuXs-s

I imagine breaking path of exile's total max playercount (that is free to play) with a $35 price tag attached is nothing to scuff at. They should be trying to do everything possible to keep players playing past the first 2-10 hours and getting them into the end-game systems and shelling out for stash space. Even this thread is filled with people saying they had to force themselves past the campaign before getting to the endgame and I'm probably not the only one who has friends who tried it but hard quit during act 1 or 2 because it's slow, boring, confusing and frankly looks bad as you trudge past 8 variations of brown sandy cliffy beach and dark cave.

Even though Chris pointed out that there was an error in paperwork which showed him no longer being a director of GGG, and that he was very much still involved - it definitely feels like he is phasing out into retirement. I'm guessing he is staying around to get GGG through the launch of PoE2, then he is riding off into the sunset to play with his Magic cards.

Anyone post gem changes yet? https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3497686 Some big nerfs (that I think most were known about), but honestly the vast majority looks like some numerical buffs to tons of transfigured gems. It kind of feels like "okay yeah no one used these at all, lets buff them a little". Then the 2 or 3 that got used, got nefed, heh.

Also stuns may crop up while mapping, but the evasion may help a bit to not make that feel too bad. Regardless, if you wanna play Splitting Steel, I'd just recommend going with the tried and true Champ version. It was a very successful starter for lots of folks in 3.23.

Trickster after its last revision is a very strong ascendancy, though I don't really know how its strengths would apply to a Splitting Steel build

So since I've been looking at trying a degenerate summoner build this time around (esp. since one friend is interested in trying a summoner) I've been on the lookout for guides. This one seems particularly great; the PoB is super-detailed (it basically contains the entire transcript of the video) and the leveling plan is clear to follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acz9TAhiZ2I In the video he also does a great job of explaining why particular pathing choices were made and how particular nodes line up with act bosses progression-wise. If anyone else out there is into summoners, I'd love a "this isn't bait" confirmation but the build doesn't seem to be doing anything particularly out-there.

Also stuns may crop up while mapping, but the evasion may help a bit to not make that feel too bad. Tried and true is exactly why I'm avoiding Champ. I get bored with builds that aren't at least a bit off-meta. Have since Diablo 2, when my bread and butter was stuff like DTail Sins and Vengeance Sorcs. That said, I'm sure I'll waffle back and forth at least 30 times in the next few days. docbeard posted:Trickster after its last revision is a very strong ascendancy, though I don't really know how its strengths would apply to a Splitting Steel build The tl;dr is it swaps out Champ's defensive kit for Trickster's, which lets it scale Splitting Steel with lightning damage from Ephemeral Edge and ES stacking.

Okay so discussing KB of clustering. It seems fully intended for single target hence clustering. The radius on the explosions suggest 100% overlap on single target. Out of the box it's a 500% damage effectiveness skill with a whole truckload of potential flat damage added. Is this not incredible? Even if you ignore the mana portion it would be the single target wand skill of choice, no?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find many guides for Zoomancer in 3.23 -- just Ghazzy's and this one, and this is the only one updated for 3.24. Maybe there are others that call the build something else? I'm very comfortable tweaking builds in the endgame, I'm just not familiar with summoners and their early progression. My friend is a first-time player, so I want a thorough build guide for her and I'd feel pretty bad if the one I pointed her at turned out to be poo poo.

Divine Font in Lab can turn regular-rear end skill gems ("<skill>") into Transfigured gems ("<skill> of <something>"). Most common option is random one of the same color, giving you 3 choices (or taking your input gem back, eating up the Divine Font use). In Merc and up you might get the option to turn a gem into one of its Transfigured versions and iirc for ones with multiple versions (for example, Penance Brand has "of Dissipation" [ ] and "of Conduction") it's even weighting for which one you get. Quality and XP are retained. Definitely behooves you to level up gems off-hand so you have stuff available when you run Lab.
