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

For my second build I'm thinking GC totems look pretty fun. Viable for this patch and how is it cost intensive? Only have my 1 character at the moment.

Also dumb Diablo refugee question but is the Stash shared between characters in the same game mode?

GC is my league starter and I’ve spent <10 chaos on gear. Clear early red maps comfortably and safely. No map mods to watch out for. With concentrated effect you nuke bosses and with increased AoE it’s super efficient clear speed.

freezing pulse totems is also a really good totem build. can get some decent DPS out of them and heiro placement speed is amazing.

also what I'm doing, the great thing is you can scale up pretty heavy with money by going crit (and buying multi jewels) and using "phys as extra ele dps" weapons

Avoid Symmetry, Allow Complexity, Introduce Terror
Another GC totem hierophant here. It's been great, I sailed to yellow maps without buying anything other than a 5-link body. Didn't even feel like I had to upgrade anything else. Right now I'm trying to decide if I really want to switch to a Soul Mantle. Hitting a warding flask every 5 seconds sounds annoying and I'd have to redo all my resistances to go dual Kikazaru.

Are these better for GC totems than Shimmeron+Void Battery?

Assuming you mean reflection, agreed, the rarity on that is way too high and part of the reason I dumped my totem character as early as I did.

Yeah I meant reflection. I figured it'd be rare, but not this rare. I'm assuming a fair amount of people have gotten the prophecy, but don't know it's worth since you can't easily search for it.

Probably not that many, it's probably as rare as Trash to Treasure, and there are only two of those up in BSC.

I'm glad I'm at a level of emotional maturity that allows me to read poo poo like the general response to the dupe recipe, laugh and move on with my day. I play this game a LOT, I've spent a LOT of money on supporter packs and MTX, and not once have I ever felt the compulsion to throw poo poo, hyperbole and insults at the devs. GGG has done some dumb stuff but it doesn't personally affect me as it does with others apparently. Just reinforces my core belief that 90%+ of gamers are garbage human beings of the lowest common denominator.

The hysteria on reddit about this being the worst league ever, the game is now dead, they're installing diablo3, ggg is going to go out of business, and so on is absolutely hilarious.

I feel like the worst league ever would have to be something that wasn't fun but was also super intrusive. (Tempest?) If you don't like Bestiary then the next couple of months are gonna be lame but the most they'll do to interrupt your core gameplay experience is give you a slightly more interesting rare monster to fight once in a while.

I hated Tempest for exactly that reason.

Well that and Tempest league also resulted in Every Map Has Ground Effects, back when ground effects were even worse.

In retrospect Abyss was solid. Those gems were spectacular .

There's a common misconception in the community that our balance team doesn't play Path of Exile. They actually do play it, a whole lot. We have people with level 100 hardcore characters, multiple famous community members who have come to work for us and you may not even know it. The minimum requirement to join our QA team is 1000 hours of PoE experience, and we still turn people with that prerequisite away if they're not good enough at the game. Our design, balance and QA team are experts at Path of Exile.

my biggest issue with capturing is that now that most stuff isnt "new" i have no clue what i want to be capturing repeatedly. like i caught one saqawine retch but i cant remember what it was and gently caress if i have time to mouse over every goddamn thing i run into.

they really need to add a wishlist that i can turn on for a beast that makes its nameplate flash or something else noticeable

I like this idea. Being able to tag certain recipes in your book so the animals that feed it are marked in-game somehow.

5k health is very much in 1 shot territory but its definitely doable if you dont mind possibly losing an offering or two.
