New lightning tendrils looks a lot nicer but its still an extemely short range spell, which sucks

I want to try it with CwC Arc and see what happens. Or maybe BL, I guess. Just seems like it'll be so drat pretty with Arc.

Say, did you guys know that a Vagan arena counts as an area, and so you can arrive in there to be greeted by five Perandus packs? I didn't know that. Gosh, was that neat.

Late on this but I ran across this guide and had a ton of fun with it, thankfully got in before inpulsa's shot up to 30c for a 5 link.

I did that one too as a late-league test, and yeah, it's a lot of fun. I don't know when you bought it, but usually it's cheaper to buy the 5-link prophecy rather than a 5-link version of an item. At least whenever I've looked; maybe not super-early in a league, I suppose.

I really hope they speed up the master leveling process (again). It's getting really old to level them up the same way again and again. Even if they just swapped out all the quests for new ones that'd really help.

I went looking for a level 21 Arc yesterday and discovered that they (and the few levels below) had gotten stupidly expensive. Didn't know why until I saw Mathil's recent video just now. Why couldn't I have decided I needed one earlier?

Rip SA when people would drop the hard r left and right and no one cared. May you never be forgotten. (Every website has its shady past and SA is no different)


I too hate things that are super popular and judge them by the actions of a few. I'd argue Twitter is far worse a mistake and gives a far bigger mouth price to idiots.

We can probably find widespread agreement that both Twitter and Reddit are mistakes, though.

Figured I might as well finish up to 24 challenges before taking a break, and one of the remaining ones is "Craft these Items." What am I doing wrong that I'm crafting magic colossal flasks of Staunching (using the "Adds 'of Staunching''") and not getting the credit?

Are there any builds out there that use Bladefall or is it just a terrible skill?

A few leagues back (actually, more than a few now that I think about it) I did a maxblock Gladiator that used Aegis Aurora to be nigh-unkillable and ran Blade Flurry CWC Bladefall for offense. It was fun.

As long as Betrayal's going core, I hope that however it's tweaked allows for less "SUDDENLY YOU'RE DEAD" chaos-damage-based ganking, or I'll just have to always be CI Occultist builds to get over this trauma. Which isn't out of the question anyway, but still.

A lot of people don't actually try to get positive chaos resist. I don't mean maxing it but just getting out of the negative and taking that high extra damage you receive.

I didn't notice but I dropped from 0% chaos to -15% chaos due to me being drunk while swapping some crafts around. The damage was insane from just dropping to -15%. ilvl 83 syndicates aren't a problem tbh minus some rippy combo of map mods. It really is the chaos resist and it's not even hard to get positive chaos resist now with the 15% craft. It also has another resist with it of your choice plus you stack it i.e having cold resist as a suffix already also lets you craft chaos/cold resist. It's so good.

Also phase run helps too for the gank squads. As soon as that portal pops, phase run and have a look at the situation.

Yeah, I know, I'm just being bitchy. Part of my problem is that my current guy this league has basically no room left to add another bit of chaos resist to get me there (previous one was CI, so). Ordinarily I do try to get it to at least zero, and I just have a build that has more uniques than I usually use, with less flexibility for resists.

I genuinely think that if you're not using Vaal Summon Skeleton aka Skeleton Party on every character at every opportunity you're doing it wrong. God drat it's fun to summon a party bus of skeletons.

This is why I keep doing the chaos recipe. It doesn't take me that long, scratches the itch to be picking up loot, and provides SOME income if you don't keep getting 00 on the roulette wheel.

I hear you, but I will add that in regard to the chaos recipe, I finally took everyone's advice and stopped doing it entirely a couple of leagues ago, and each successive league I have made more currency than I ever had before that. For what that's worth.

you'll learn

the biggest thing is realizing that a lot more things have trade value than is immediately apparent, so you start selling some of the stuff you would have previously been trashing. which gets you a lot of chaos since that's the universal currency, but you'd have to go out of your way to buy alchs and scours with those chaos. well, that and speed - the faster you're going the more stuff you'll get.

Also, whenever your sulphite fills up, delve until it's empty, and VENDOR lovely UNIQUES. Doing these things will keep you (not you, the guy you were responding to) flush with alchs. I used to run low on alchs moving up through the yellow maps, but these two things have eliminated that problem entirely.

I am now convinced that the best way to draw attention to items you have for sale, and to start getting tons of whispers on things that have been sitting there for weeks, is to start a long-ish delve. It never fails.

edit for content: is there a technical reason why if you die fighting the Elder or one of his guardians it dumps you out back into town rather than back into the map you came from, or your hideout, like every single other time it happens in the game? Is it just to be pricks?

Can someone tell me how to search for metamorph organs on any of the trade sites? I got one that drops a six-link unique body armor and want to figure out if I should sell or just run it and see what I get, but I cannot for the life of me find the right terms/categories on either the official site or poe.trade. It's driving me nuts.

I'm not sure if GGG would put what is essentially a crafting bench inside of a tab, but storage for Blighted maps would be nice if GGG isn't going to either keep them separated somehow in the map tab or at least have them show up when using the search box (same gripe with Elder maps).

Yeah, those would both be very welcome changes.

Here's another small quality-of-life change that I'd like to see: when a prophecy pops, make the popup smaller, less intrusive into the part of the screen you need to see, and go away more quickly.
