Found out a belt I'd been wearing was worth ~20-40 div. ![]() Also most of my amazon gear is worth divs now even though what I paid was a lot less. Don't feel great about that, lol. Anyway my lich/scorpion queen is rolling okay mostly held up by essence drain jacked way up. Multiplying spell level+/chaos spell level+/chaos damage/speed etc really does a number on DPS.

Honestly headhunter would be fine if the mod pool for rares wasn't so shallow. With even the smallest amount of packsize/extra rares you're basically guaranteed to pick up shroud walker and have to quick swap belts to stop yourself from uselessly teleporting into slams and DOTs Looking forward to the "loot buff", a friend of mine is 150 hours deep, way further along than me into pinnacle/etc and still hasn't seen a raw div

Tambaloneus posted:Which brings me to my noob question, with spearfield I noticed it was filling my health bar - and I only have leech on the spear not the gem, so does this mean the spears it's using are copies of my spear with whatever modifiers on it? This was answered but-- If you zoom in you'll see they actually copy your spear's model and look different depending on which one you have equipped, so doubly yes.

Tambaloneus posted:I tried stacking strength for the stomp/rake combo and after going back go get a bit more dex so I could even equip the drat skill gem I still find whirlwinds with lacerate are doing 99% of the murdering for me. Bosses included and though rake/stomp is certainly powerful the whirlwinds just "will it blend" anything I throw them at. I'm in act 2 cruel with those still murdering everything in my way with the only downside being the time to setup but spearfield gives me those few seconds anyway. I finally tried it and I have never killed collosus faster. I don't have any +str uniques really except a low % helmet I think. One shots everything but major bosses.

Herstory Begins Now posted:thank god ggg leaves in obviously busted skills that literally trivialize the entire campaign, truly an expression of the vision Meanwhile, really wish they’d look for some other solution to pathfinder concoctions having been busted last league. Kind of weird for them to have nerfed an ascension’s keystone skill all the way down to uselessness. You can’t even throw the concoctions from the rhoa since attacking while mounted requires a bow or spear skill. There’s simply no point to using it compared against poisonburst or lightning arrow with the rift unique.

Is stomping ground broken with anything besides rake? Why wouldnt it be correct to only nerf the interaction?Ersatz posted:Yeah, switching to an actual build after hitting maps with this alt was an interesting transition. No Wave fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Apr 29, 2025 |

No Wave posted:Is stomping ground broken with anything besides rake? Why wouldnt it be correct to only nerf the interaction? Nah it's because the Rake animation does 3 "steps" in less than a second and has very little recovery time. Try it on Shield Charge or something and it won't even tickle edit: If they were to nerf it, which probably isn't necessary IMO because it may as well be nonexistent if not for the Rake interaction, I'd say make it require a minimum distance travelled before going off. That way it would require you to actually "travel" and not just hug a boss while spamming it

I don't understand why they just didn't untag "bow" from the concoction skills so people couldn't do widowhail silliness and +10 the skill level and balance it for the level range. I'm not sure what anyone would build around for the current concoctions with having to go unarmed, making it awkward to even use it to apply a ailment.

So does ingenuity No Wave posted:I got a little obsessed with it back in .1. Ended the season with five 50+ div geared characters and 250 more divs in my currency tab in standard. And I dont care about any of that currency now, after a point it doesn't do much for you unless you're the kind of player who wants to overgear meta builds. I feel like a lot of people playing the game don't understand the value of currency velocity. Like sure you can put that good gear up for 5 div which is what its worth and end up waiting a week before you sell it, or you can sell it for 4 div or even 3 div within the hour and now you can spend 3 div to immediately buy better equipment to play (and farm) with for the next entire week that you otherwise would not have had. I go for the latter option every time and who gives a poo poo that I could've had a bunch of extra divs sitting in my stash by the time I lose interest in playing?

the trick is the "could've" is a mirage all the items priced near each other are, by definition, the ones that haven't sold I always, always sold stuff cheap (but not so cheap getting out of maps was a waste of time) here I skip all that crap cuz lol I'm not trading on controller using currex is nice though

I don't expect my stuff to ever appreciate I generally buy mediocre off meta rares and uniques I like to keep which generally go down in price over time excepting the rarest of the rare which I cant afford. My best money making strategy has been doing high EV Vaals but it's only something I do when an item jumps out at me. (It's also really fun.)

Are there good resources for determining the odds of specific outcomes for Vaal orbs? I’m tempted to start buying and modifying cheap versions of the unique bow that I’m using, but if the odds of rolling the specific enchant I want are like sub 2% I probably won’t bother.

Traitorous Leopard posted:https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/weedGOKU666-2204/BooBeanis_Slammin?i=5&search=skills%3DThunderous%2BLeap%26class%3DTitan Well I tried the LS swap and it's unequivocally better for mapping. Mostly due to the safety aspect of nuking screens from the periphery rather than having to dive into packs. Maybe the biggest weakness of the slam build is that it has an unfortunate recovery time at the end of the animation where you're a sitting duck for stuff outta range. That said, Storm Lance alone is way worse for bossing. It's workable for t15 atlas bosses, but I have no desire to try pinnacles with this, so I may just swap back to the slam cause it was already chunking for ~1M per lance/slam combo (and that was pre-Beacon, so I guess it'll be 4x that now?). The updated build is in the ninja link above - am I doing anything obviously wrong for single target? For reference, I turn off herald/frenzy and turn on CoC for bosses. Frenzy charges don't seem to be a limiting factor with that setup, but the lance detonations just aren't beefy enough. I guess that might be why everyone swapped their LS builds to Deadeye once the serpent skill got popular.

Ersatz posted:Are there good resources for determining the odds of specific outcomes for Vaal orbs? Item weights aren't in the GGPK, hence they haven't been datamined. Assuming they're all equal (there's evidence that they aren't) it's 1 / <number of Vaal enchantments possible> / 4 (1 in 4 chance to get an Enchantment result from corrupting the item, unless you can use an Omen of Corruption to knock it down to a 1 in 3 chance). Assuming the list on the Wiki is accurate, for example, the chance to hit a specific Enchantment on a Bow (11 possible mods) would be ~2.27%, ~3.03% with the Omen.

boredsatellite posted:https://x.com/pathofexile/status/1917388343089979619 That's a shame. I just hit the wall. Threw my EXs into a breachstones and got the Breach Lord down on the first try. Then threw all my chaos orbs to get a Simulacrum Orb and did worse than I did in the previous league; wiped on round 8 I think. I just take so much damage that stuns eventually kill my block and I die, sometimes right when I respawned lol. Still much more progress than I made last league in that I got two end game bosses killed this time around. See you all in 3-4 months for .3!

I managed to get through T0 simulacrum by swapping in a Kitokos and having double the DPS of my first attempt, and it still killed me 3 times before I was able to complete it. Crossbow gets hosed when it dies since the first action has to be reloading the bolts so Im not sure how I got out of the death spiral, but Ill take what I can get

If you've been very online you'll see people posting their "Exile's Pilfering Ring" stats to show much stuff they picked up. I bought it thinking I could do the same and I hate it. You need to manually equip it as a cosmetic on a character for it to start tracking pickups and it can only be equipped on one character at a time, meaning any time you swap characters you will have to re equip it. I was hoping it would just be /deaths for orbs but no it sucks. Just warning anyone else who might not know how this thing works.
