Returning after a couple years away from the game....everything is different. It looks like new season will start in a bit over a week so I'm going to mess around with some of my old builds. Would it be worth making a brand new character and playing through before the season starts to help figure out all the new thing? Looking at version history I think I stopped shortly after Version 1.1.0 Sacrifice of the Vaal so early 2014. Have ~20 characters ranging from a few abandon early to a couple at 80+ but all have earned free respecs with all the changes.

J posted:Easiest thing to do to get your bearings before abyss league would be to make a new character and play through again. They've added an absolute ton of content since you last played, and they've actually also added a tutorial system that is half decent. Your old high level characters are probably sitting in the epilogue area right now and I'm not sure how GGG handled the quest completion status for old characters. Trying to rebuild an old character and get it working at a basic level would be more confusing than just starting from scratch at this point. Good news is my reflect/cwdt/thorns build is still as fun an inefficient as ever

If there are any spots left I'd like an invite to Strange_Burning Looks like I'll go summoner as planned after playing with a few ideas and using free respecs on a few old characters. Did mess around with my dualstrike/reave guy last night and that may be the second build I do.

Looking over a few summoner builds to start the league with, I've noticed a few are CI. What's the general feeling on CI currently? The three I'm primarily looking at, feedback would be appreciated: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1623489 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1949867 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1996394 Also played with animate weapon a bit, fun and seemed to be very powerful as long as you kept moving and enough stuff dropped to animate.

I play on a laptop touch pad, other than lack of middle button and being not very precise it isn't bad. Biggest hurdle is if I change my flask layout between characters. Did try a contagion/ED test build yesterday and that's too much stuff going on at once for now but I'll probably give it a shot at some point next league. League nearly over, what builds did everyone try and like or not like?

This league I did two main builds RF and Summoner then a few test for fun builds. LL RF/SR - powerful, very fast but I need to finish gearing because at 8k ES T10 is about limit Solar Guard Summoner - steam rolls everything with ~120c worth of gear Hiltless CWDT - vaal pact nerf hurt and I never finished gearing or doing the last two labs but it'll clear up to T5 quickly with a lot of flash Ice Nova - ~250k PoB with charges but not enough defense/life, I'll probably try going a different route on this one next league Piscator Wander - fast, expensive, not bad but didn't love it Crit Dark Pact Totems - good mindless clearing speed, single target isn't bad but not great with super budget gear Roughly half hour ago GGG posted to expect Ascendancy for Assassin, Guardian and Hierophant by end of business day (in New Zealand) I'm probably starting league with Facebreaker Ancestral Warchief or another summoner

J posted:Scammers are out in force this league, buying up and price fixing whatever they can, and then attempting to trade whatever item they price fixed for other items that are actually worth that much. It's happening with a lot of the new fated prophecy uniques for example. If anyone offers you a direct item for item trade it is probably a scam.

silvergoose posted:I'm loving loving it, I've always wanted to play something that just kind of doesn't die, even with gear that doesn't cost much. Like, I'm not fully tanked against elemental, and things as big as Izaro can still do too much damage for now, but trash mobs do nothing, and physical bosses do essentially nothing. I beat Kitava easier than ever then went straight to Merc lab runs. Did 5 back to back easy then moved gear over from my totems guy and did another even easier. Got a couple levels out of it and some currency. I figure at this rate by the time I hit 70 I'll be able to jump into uber runs. This is the tanky lab runner I was looking for. Need to pick up a good 5L base, a couple greed essences and see if I can get lucky...or just setup a live search for 2k+ armour and 100+ life I did notice the crab armour (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Craiceann%27s_Carapace) doesn't seem like a terrible option and I saw a 5L at 45c yesterday.

McFrugal posted:200k dps against trash isn't exciting. What's the draw with this build? I like Ice Nova so every league I waste a weekend leveling one up and throw some gear at it. I followed that guys build this time around and it's working decent, at least better than last leagues attempt. Just something different. I did level it PP VD and kept them so when I get bored of it I'll move a few points around and have a viable build.

Playing around with a few ideas. Grelwood MS JUGG, I respecced my AW chieftain into this and am really enjoying it. Gear is cheap other than the elder rings, it'll run lab easily and up to red maps with <100c worth of gear - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2125173/page/1 ED/Contagion Occultist, eventually go LL. I've never played one before but they look like a unique play style and should scale well KB/Barrage bow that eventually transitions to wands RF JUGG Either way I'm planning on playing straight through to maps at a minimum. I'd like to get uber trials and get a run in before I call it a night. Vasudus posted:I'm actually considering doing a Deadeye in this league right now doing that dex stacking build. It's not very expensive to get started and scales practically to infinity. I haven't rolled any Rangers at all this league and the only thing stopping me is that I'm still a little burned out on PoE. But there's fuckall else to play right now so I'm considering it.

I never bothered to go back and get it deathless but I definitely could now that it's not literally my first Uber Elder attempt: I noticed you didn't go for any spectres or guardian, I've seen some that go for less golems to have TV's in a 6L helm for bosses. Tempted to do this for the 'race' because the three random mods sounds fun but I have the currency sitting in regular beastiary to put one together today and don't know how much play time I'll get with puppy running around.

Best of both world? RF for trash, BV for bosses. Interesting concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2deSx84aj0g I messed around with it a little bit, very un-optimized for BV, on my RF Chief in flashback. Was a nice change from the usual SR/RF combo.

queeb posted:Hmmmm. Apparently you can drop a totem to fire off the vaal arc as well, so I wonder if heiro isn't the way to go. We still don't know what the bonus per remaining chain is yet for arc right? Im sure both self cast and totems are going to completely own anyways. I messed around with arc totems in beastiary, roughly followed Mathil's build, and despite the low numbers it's pretty good. I swapped in Lightning Tendrils for bosses T10+ just to speed things up. With the buff to arc it'll be even better...just moved up a couple spots on my possible league start list.

BobbyK posted:When people say they're going to farm Uber Lab what exactly are you farming? Like do you do full key runs and then just bank on whatever you get out of the chests? What about lab enchants? Do you just enchant a popular unique helmet until you get something you can sell? Yes to all. Full key runs, to offset the cost of offerings, and hope for good enchants. Between enchants and chest drops, especially high level maps, you can make bank pretty quickly early league. For enchants you can go with common uniques or buy high ilvl white helms that are popular. Biggest pain is probably getting all the offerings so you can start running it since global 820 is a mess for the first week of league.

Had planned, weeks ago, starting league with ED/Contagion trickster since I'd never done it before. I still may but it seems unlikely and I'm not sure which of the following three... RF JUGG - every league I haven't made a RF character I've wished I had so maybe start with one? Based on the basic 3.2 meta https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1985355/page/1 Grelwood MS - did this in beastiary and it's strong as hell, minor fps issues on my craptop. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2125173/page/1 Bloodseeker BF Champ - tried it on my berserker and it was strong, should only be better as champ. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2050203 So as someone who usually starts with a summoner I'm not sure. All can do basically all content and scale with $$$. Mapping isn't super fast on any but it isn't painfully slow either, uber is farmable as well with all three.
