Can someone look at my skill tree and tell me if there's something obvious I messed up that I should change? The idea is pretty straightforward, but I dunno if some of the nodes I went into are traps or ineffective. It ends up with 204% increased life, which is fine, right? http://poeurl.com/bqNk

Ultima66 posted:Life is fine, you're spending way too many points on the bad life leeching nodes and not enough on damage nodes. That's the thing, I'm new so I don't know which life leeching nodes are bad or good. And I didn't want to commit to being one-handed or two-handed which is why I avoided any nodes to do with those. Can you tell me which life leech nodes to spec out of in order to spec into more damage?

deep dish peat moss posted:I love PoE but there's no defending it on this point: That's nearly impossible here. I mean it's possible but you're going to run in to the problems you're experiencing now. I'm just gonna do it anyways I guess. I'd rather crash and burn on my own than fly with instructions, if that makes sense? I at least took the advice of focusing down to level 80 to heart and was able to optimize my pathing a little bit more. It hadn't occurred to me that Berserker didn't need life leech nodes either, I figured having more would be better but thinking about it with Berserker if you're not dying you're leeching insanely fast anyways.

The game made fun of me because I messed up on my Cruel lab run on some saws. It was a great run with great darkshrines, and then my subsequent run gave me two useless perma-buffs and... Two of the trap resistance shrines. Which stack. So I was completely immune to trap damage. Felt like the game put me in baby mode...

So I finally reached the postgame for the first time ever. Am I supposed to immediately kick out one of my masters to fit in Zana? Unfortunately my highest level Master is still only at 6 so I can only fit 4 people in. I'm starting to get a little frustrated with how often this game disconnects me on area transition though. Maybe I should take a break until they fix their servers.

Maybe we all are just extremely lucky, which seems far less likely than people with computer problems. I switched to a US server and it seems to have settled down CONSIDERABLY. There may be some issues with the BR Gateway right now, possibly?

Boy, Masters sure start popping up in funny places once you get into maps. That's fine on itself, it's just extra funny when they bring architecture with them into entirely unfitting locales. Case in point:

You could always just hope to get one of the other guys to shunt him off it, or the destroy items effect, or the one that just straight up gets him to leave. That's really the only reason the Destroy Items effect is even there, imho.

BobbyK posted:Does the betrayal system start making sense after awhile because right now I kind of hate it. I finally understand it, so I can explain it in the simplest possible terms: Essentially, you're crafting your ideal safehouse raid with the system while grinding up the points to actually GO on said raid. You see how every character attached to one of the safehouses has a little descriptive text, like "moving silver coins stash" or whatever? You'll get that as a reward at the end of the raid. Essentially you can have some number of dudes (I think you can have at most 4? Possibly only 3, going off the safehouse design) attached to an activity like, say, transportation. You'll be trying to move the guys with the reward you want onto the safehouse you're doing, but it's pretty random. The higher their rank, the tougher they are to fight and the more info they give. Might affect safehouse rewards/drop rates but I'm not sure, just guessing. Friendships lead to multiple dudes spawning together, making the encounters tougher but giving you more bang for your buck. Rivalries I haven't figured out, I think they lead to the Rival showing up when you're fighting to beat up his enemy, making encounters easier? That's the gist of it. It looks more complicated than it actually is. Really, due to the way the system works all you have to do is decide whether the Right choice is worth more to you than the Left choice, depending on your goals. It's not that interactive.

I guess I need to buy a goddamn SSD. Path of Exile has become almost ludicrously unstable on my HDD, failing to load nearly every time. I still don't understand why it's only doing this to me now, when I last played it back during Harbinger League there were no problems at all... Maybe my HDD is giving up the ghost, it is quite old.

Sab669 posted:Are you using the Steam client? I was having tons of connectivity related issues last League. It'd often throw me back to the login screen from any loading screen, I'd get tons of lag spikes and UI elements for items would take forever to load. Switching to the standalone client fixed all of this for me, this league. Thanks for the suggestion, I switched over to the standalone client and my problems basically disappeared. Weird. I thought it had something to do with my HDD because looking up the issue online the solutions proposed seemed to be only "Get an SSD, idiot" and the like. I'm still sad about my constant disconnects causing me to lose a safehouse raid though. Those take a long time to build up and it was really disheartening to slowly use up every one of those 6 portals trying desperately to just load into the map.

I'm having a different, but still weird issue with Alva where she just keeps showing up. Like, at an honestly absurd rate. I'm talking she's there 4 different times in one map. And yeah, I haven't been able to invite her to my hideout either.

Oh, that's good then. It's just very goofy because you finish an incursion, walk 5 feet and Alva is just standing there again. It's like a Looney Tunes cartoon.

I got a reasonably workable shield out an incursion that has like 35% chaos resistance and it's just LOVELY to go from negative resistance to any amount of positive. I'm no longer getting insta-gibbed by syndicate assholes!

I gotta say, all the new masters + Veiled Mods and the new crafting make SSF idiots like me really happy. So much easier to get something workable and, as previously shown, you can even make your own top-tier weapons for physical builds with your own two hands relatively easily compared to previous leagues.

facepalmolive posted:I know you said you didn't like trading, but just be aware that by being self-found, you're making the experience 2-10x more difficult for yourself (depending on build). Even more so if you're brand new to the game, it's probably more like 30x more difficult. Basically boils down to not knowing what items to toss vs. keep, not to mention how to be efficient with your limited resources and currency. I'm (only) 1600 hours into the game and the idea of playing self-found still terrifies me. Eh, I'm a complete idiot at this game and play purely SSF due to a sheer hatred of trading and I do fine. I mean, I've never made it to the tip top of Atlas stuff but it's more due to burnout than anything, I can never really keep my interest going after early maps. I guess if you're aiming at that sort of stuff trading becomes more essential though.

So as I usually do for a league start, I watched a video of default skill animations until I saw one that struck my fancy. And, also as usual, I'm just gonna ask here if it's a completely unworkable skill or not. I don't need TOP TIER SHAPER DPS since I usually get bored of playing a single character far before endgame, but I'd like my time through the campaign and early-mid mapping to not be hugely painful. In this case, the skill that caught my eye was (Vaal) Storm Call. I just really like the visuals of calling down a bunch of lightning strikes all over the place. So yeah, sanity check on that. An ascendancy recommendation wouldn't hurt either, but I try to avoid looking at full builds since that's no fun for me. Bonus question: Should I also run Herald of Thunder for EXTRA lightning strikes?

Pharnakes posted:If we're talking racing pretty sure the technique is to skip all quests until at least A6 or so, since it will be overall quicker for you to go back and do the skill quests once you have movespeed boots, ect. That's far too crazy for me, if I can average 1 act per hour I consider I'm doing decent, but I would like to improve. I'm pretty sure you still want to do both quicksilver flask quests. Tidal Basin and... Uh, is it the spider one in Act 2? I think it's the spider one. If it's not obvious, I'm not a racer and in fact play this game excruciatingly slowly and probably pick up too many items.

Looking at my previous league primary characters I realized I have never leveled a Ranger to endgame. I've even got a meme Scion that far, but never a ranger. What are some good Deadeye or Raider skills? Are ballistas any good, cuz they seem neat.

I'm going to randomly play something related to ballistas without even doing any research as to their viability. Probably either Deadeye or Raider. No research woo! Does poo poo like Far Shot even affect Ballistas anyways...?

Is something bugged on my end or can you not interact with your harvest when entering the grove from a waypoint? It only lets me harvest or plant or whatever when I enter the grove from a portal after picking up a seed cache. I admit I sorta skipped past the NPC dialog so I could have just missed something here.

Earthshatter is a pretty fun skill. I didn't look up anything and just decided to all in on big two handers and warcries for the league and earthshatter is perfect for both sides. Slam down some rocks and then yell at them until they explode. Feels pretty strong too, if kinda slow. Might get better once I get some more warcry nodes going. I feel like I'm too lazy for the league mechanic tho so I may not stick around for this one. As soon as I got into tier 2 seeds it started getting too much for my peanut brain that just wants to mash buttons.

I'm going to play... Something with that new Blazing Salvo skill since it looks cool. I dunno what. I rarely play casters, what's the go-to for elemental damage these days? Is Elementalist worth it again yet or is Inquisitor still the thing? Chieftain, maybe? I'm the kind of player GGG is catering to with their focus on handcasting since I don't like the feel of triggercasting so I'm also probably going to grab flame wall and see how that plays out.

So assuming I want to run Trickster as a generic caster to play around with the new spells and such, what are the ascendancy choices to be made? It doesn't seem as clear cut as most others. I'm guessing both ghost shroud things as defensive layer, the rng chaos one and... I have no idea what the fourth is. Or even if the rng chaos one is good.

Cinara posted:The best ascendancy choices would be respec to Assassin. Trickster really isn't a great generic caster, but you'd take Ghost Shrouds, Harness the Void and Swift Killer. Man it's so hard to ask questions like this because it seems like everyone has a different absolute fact about it. I asked elsewhere and was told Trickster, but now it's apparently Assassin (even after nerf?) and it makes it very hard to decide to do anything in this game.
