It’s not really mid-league, though, is it? We’re 10 days in

I basically copied Octavian's Occultist build, and it is awesome. If you can't afford a solstice vigil you will have to drop frostbite and use a witchfire brew (or drop the extra curse cluster on the tree) but otherwise it is cheap and easy to gear.

Oh wow that is a funky 3D effect on the Passives tree on mobile

I need to make a new build. Unless you just don't do the league mechanic it's too unpredictable and rippy if you don't have excellent defenses. I can clear and do stuff fine but gently caress me I just get obliterated by Tora or even worse That Which Fled. Perandus is an absolute fucker too if you have a "phys to ele damage" map mod or two. Just wrecks.

I roll around with strong life regen, leech and 1% life gain on kill w/ Fortify and 5 end charges but it's not enough. I have no room for chaos res outside Atziri flask too which matters a lot with these dudes and incursions.

Maybe keep slamming your face against it until you can get those guys removed from the syndicate?

I’ve been doing really nicely following https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1925500 for a bloodseeker BF slayer to level 87 so far, but I feel like maybe the build is leaving some things on the table in terms of gearing? Already swapped of the ancestral protector for a dread banner and BMed the WB, and I plan to try a Writhing Jar tonight. Anyone else have suggestions on what I can add while I’m saving for a 6L BotB?

Welp, 6-linked my BotB in ~50 orbs. Then had essence worm and kaom’s heart drop at the same time.

Seems right. I could swear it didn't appear when Vorici was kicking my rear end, but maybe it did and he just instagibbed it. The syndicate fights are sometimes a visual mess on the level of Warframe.

Much like Warframe, the solution is to constantly use movement skills, on the basis that you’re probably dodging something

So let's say I'm running red maps now with a pure right click AOE build that's feeling pretty good, but uh, I never picked up a movement skill. I probably want one, right? Do I need to pick one that somehow synergizes with my build, or can I just pick the one that feels laziest to me? Reason I ask is because Zana prompted me with thr unique map that has the unconnected bridges or whatever so I kinda need one at some point. I don't have much mana to spend outside of combat (I'm leech + mana on kill), any tips?

Blood Magic for the mana issues. Keep in mind you can use more than one movement skill, if the synergistic one doesn’t cross ledges/gaps

Here’s an idea: bring back race leagues, but with a ssf harvest seed draft. If the olds say good gear is coming in too fast, then let’s make them compete for just how fast they can push Uber elder or delve 600 with no drops at all. Again and again and again. That’s the sort of thing that’ll keep streamers fat and happy, right?

No it's a garbage fight, garbage boss, and garbage loot. I've had my third spawn ready to go for easily a hundred maps. The only thing she drops of value are the flower pods.

The flower pods are niiiiice though. Big beefy radius of effect and way more charges than you’d expect. Even if you don’t use them yourself, they flip for a nice chunk of change

"This league" = Heist or Harvest? Harvest is "none of it for now, will figure out what to bring back in the near future".

The coming league. If anything I’m wondering if a league drop reshuffling is coming in the near future, because I can’t see how heist being the only source for alt quality gems AND alternate uniques AND a new batch of item bases AND whatever else they’ve got in enchants can hold up once heists are no longer the season focus. Like how cluster jewels ended up with max sockets once Delirium ended, but without such a straightforward fix.

Does the math work out any better if you lump in a bunch of curses with Vixen’s Entrapment and immediately start firing off Hexblasts? Depending on cast speed and finger strength the curses lower in the stack should have reached full doom by the time you get to them, and meanwhile there’s been at least some outgoing dps

Edit:Someone said something about a Shattering Steel build, i'm trying one now and it's fun while leveling up. What would be a good build for Shattering Steel?

So far, grab the Impaler node, use a big old 2h phys axe, and use Call of Steel to erase anything vaguely near a pack that you attacked anywhere near. Maybe not the best bosser, but pretty efficient for most mechanics of most leagues, and particularly funny against metamorph.

E: be sure to grab one of the Lord of Steel jewel variants off the market, they’re cheap and they’re the only way I’ve found yet to boost Call of Steel itself.

So help me if they don't put Corpsewalker boots in the game like they were supposed to, I'm going to drag an Avian Retch spectre around so it pukes corpses at my feet.

Speaking of spectres, a goon was saying in global that there's some way to raise harvest's Primal Crushclaw this league using an item but they didn't know specifics. Anyone know if that's really possible?

Is that what the alternate quality Desecrate’s “2% chance something something Forgotten corpse” does?
