I completely agree that fully automatic auction house isn't the answer there has to be something that can be done to make trading not such a miserable experience. Bitching on reddit seems to be pretty effective, too

What might be a good sixth link for cyclone? Right now I've got melee phys, added fire, faster attacks and chance to bleed. I've liquidated a bunch of garbage so I'm ready to upgrade to a 6L and I'm not really sure what to add. I'm not actually sure about bleed either so if there's a better option I'm all ears - the added phys damage is kind of nice and it's got neat synergy with the Kondo's Pride I'm using right now but there's probably more I can squeeze out of that slot, particularly since I assume there's probably better options than Kondo's even with that buff.

Increased AoE for clearing / Conc effect for bosses, maybe?

It also means that there's actually a level cap for players who die at any given frequency above some threshold. I like that! It gives me more of a reason to get mechanically better, rather than death spamming endgame the way I deathspam kitava.

You're already limited in any given map by the amount of portals the map device gives you. With the nature of endgame bosses being do their mechanics or you get 1 shot (more or less) I don't see how someone death spamming their way up to level 99 is going to let them kill shaper all of a sudden. Not to mention that would take loving forever, anyway, so I doubt anyone would actually do it

I whispered like four people from that poe.trade website and nobody responded. Why doesn't this game have a proper auction house?

That's not a can of worms you want to be opening

But the long and short of it is GGG already think trading is way too easy as it is, we're lucky it doesn't get worse

Don't they have an owning share of Epic and, by extension, Fortnite? Game seems fine to me, pay2win-wise.

Tencent supposedly only owns 40% of Epic as opposed to a majority in GGG but yeah they don't seem to be screwing with that. They might pull the rug out or do something dumb if the game suddenly becomes unprofitable but I don't see that being the case anytime soon, either here or with Fortnite

From what I understand you can get sent into the same room again so you can open more doors or change the room type but there's no way to guarantee it. I wouldn't sweat the layout of any given temple too much, there'll always be more

Want to do smite with minions because that kind of character archetype is extremely my poo poo but also wanted to see if I could actually figure out a tree (mostly) on my own. How does this look? https://pastebin.com/8T2we1S3

Not sure where to go with the last 4 ascendancy points. Radiant Faith and Unwavering Faith? Also not too sure if those AoE/Area Damage nodes would be worth it either

Improved your pathing a bit, and picked up some more jewel sockets. Got to take those 1 and 2 pointers. 4% less life and a little less regen. My guess would be Radiant Faith and Unwavering Faith as well for the last 4. I think you will need to play around with the area stuff to make sure, but those could be easy cuts.

I think you want to go full conversion with phys to lightning and then use a stat stick in your off hand as smite uses main hand only. Wrath and then herald of purity to get your minions then?

Nice, thanks. For whatever reason I never tend to think about jewel sockets and that pathing seems much more efficient

People skip bosses because they're awful, though. The only even remotely interesting bosses are stuff like atziri or shaper where the whole point of you doing it is for the boss. Map bosses either die in ten seconds or have long rear end invuln phases because some GGG designer is mad about all those other bosses dying so fast

Thanks, I checked out poe.ninja and it looks like that elementalist inpulsa build is solid. I saw a couple of ascendants running a similar build but it didn't look as strong. I'm a little reluctant to play elementalist for the 3rd time this league but it looks like the pens, ascendancy, and Inpulsa's will take care of the damage so I can go 100% defensive on the tree. If I die I die.

I see a lot of people using ball lightning/slower proj instead of lightning warp in their 2nd pen (arc in 1st pen). Are they just giving up some movement in favor of single target damage? Some of these characters don't have any movement skills at all.

I think that build tends to have 4 pens, your arc/lightning warp set for clearing and a weapon swap with arc/ball lightning for bosses
