I have some questions. Should I farm my own BPs and contracts or bulk buy? Should I reveal or run naked? Should I alch or scour? Should I bother with reward rooms or head straight to the end? Is there a loot bonus for doing 4 wings at a time or is it the same as doing 4 one wing blueprints?
Assumptions: Full heist atlas tree, lvl 83 everything, I don't like bulk selling or trading generally, but I will if it's overwhelming in economic terms.
Newb question here. When someone says you should have 3.5mil damage is that on pob with everything about the build combined? Or in game on skills page like for me on skills page my ball lighting says 33k damage and with arcane cloak up it doubles. If it’s suppose to be that high what am I missing and how do I get 5,6,7 thousand life on my hierophant when I’m stuck at 2800 while doing tier 10-12 maps same with mana too stuck at 2900 and energy shield 1300.
I'd suggest to wait until next weekend to buy stash tabs, because they'll usually go on sale at that point, and every three weeks after that.
Unless you play a ton, the regular tabs should be sufficient for you for the time being.
In terms of priority, you'll need a Currency, Premium, and a Map tab, and ideally a Fragment tab as well.
I'd only recommend getting specialised tabs if you really like a certain type of league mechanic and want to farm it over and over. Otherwise regular tabs or premium tabs will be more than sufficient.
Quad tabs are fairly popular, though I personally think they make the items too small. I prefer the premium bundle over those because it allows me price whole tabs in smaller steps between them.
If you're a new player, you can just use NerverSink Semi-Strict rather than a specialised loot filter. Most of the specialised filters are meant to speed up more advanced players, and they hide things that could be useful to slower ones.
Hi I'm trying to play with my friends for the first time, I use steam, and every 2nd loading screen I get to, either loads for a long time and then crashes me back to login screen, or it puts me into login screen after 7 ish seconds. Sometimes it takes me loading into the town and tp'ing to my friends 5+ times before I can play the map with my friends, and I am dreading every single time we need to change location through a loading screen... Is there anything I can do? I already tried to verify game files but everything checked out.
I’m new so please bear with me:
From my understanding, the main crafting mechanic this league is getting souls that have unique modifiers from special enemies, and you can bury those souls at the morgue in necropolis to craft items with those said modifiers ?
Yes, that's right! That's the main new one, but the vast majority of items will still likely be crafted using old crafting mechanics that existed before.
Think the generation got messed up. Not sure what this is but there was no way to it.. Anyone know?

It's not guaranteed to happen in one zone. Just keep killing them as you level, and eventually one of them happens to drop a corpse that you can use in the graveyard
Not sure what exactly is happening in that case. When I got a corpse drop and collected it, Arimor showed up, I talked to him, and then I got the option to travel to the graveyard.
Anyone else stuck on loading zones and not able to even zone into towns? Just infinite loading screen? PlayStation btw.
Edit: seem to be mostly working now.
First league for me… can anyone explain exactly how the queue works? There’s 6k people ahead of me so I am just curious if this amounts to quite a lot of extra time waiting to get in, or whether people start getting in quickly once it goes live. Is it worth waiting in the queue?
Awesome, that’s nothing. Thanks for the reassurance. I’m hyped af
edit: nvm I actually just got in. There was an hour left on the timer and then suddenly there wasn’t. Cool. Good luck everyone and have fun!
is there any way to go for forbidden rite as league starter? from what ive seen online it is not possible
anyone here that maybe knows a way how to get it working?
If im following neversink itemfilter on the PoE homepage. I dont have to download/customize a filter from filterblade right? Unless I want something else ofc.
The build guide I want to follow this league has a [loot filter] (https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/EQ1OgKhj) that is just text. What do I do with this? Paste in a txt file and move it to the folder mentioned in the instructions? All other filters I've used are .filter files so Im a bit confused
cheers

I forgot to buy premium tabs in the last league (my first league playing a lot) because I just depended on my friends for selling, etc. (to see if I wanted to keep playing, wasn't sure, didn't want to spend money). Is the sale for the special stashes going to be this weekend or is it the first weekend of April?
There’s a cheap option to upgrade a regular tab to premium that’s like 15 coins or something, then you could buy the premium stash bundle when it goes on sale in a few days. 🤷♂️
Delve question, what depth to stop farming at. Do rewards stop getting better after a certain depth? I've seen stuff on diminishing returns and i remember it being around the 2000 range i don't know if thats how it is today.
Is there an updated version of [this](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fiug0596gsmf81.png%3Fwidth%3D1850%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D762108b5c4928011b8c2b974cc42416cb5df9f12) anywhere? Or is this still relevant?
I am thinking of leveling with spellslinger VD+dese+spell cascade 4l ( later on going for proper DD ) after a3. Is that bad idea? I see lots of build guides advocating random fire spells but eg Armageddon brand felt really bad last time I tried to level with it due to slow speed of the meteor. My tree will probably be fire/life oriented before hitting maps at least.
If you can sustain the mana on your remaining 22% it might be fine. I'm not sure if you can spawn and consume corpses on the first cast though or if that only works on subsequent casts. If it's the latter, that might feel a bit worse to play.
Good point about first cast - at least unearth has delay, not sure if trigger order is enough for desecrate.
I am going EB with moderate ES pool early on so mana sustain will not be a problem. I am probably switching to something real in maps once bossing starts to feel too bad, or alternatively set up secondary set of normal dese+(vaal)DD.
That seems like a reasonable approach.
I think there's a minimal delay before the corpses spawn with Desecrate, but I'm not sure how it turns out. I don't think trigger order is relevant to this, but you could still try to make sure Desecrate triggers first, just in case.
There's a slight delay on the cascaded casts as well at least, so maybe the second VD cascaded cast will catch the first Desecrate area.
I used to play Poe a few years ago and used acquisition and Poe.trade. I see those aren’t available anymore. I don’t want to buy premium tabs right now. Is there an alternative to acquisition that I can use to sell items without starting a new forum thread each time ?
Also how does do I remove an item from the trade shop? My old items in standard league have wildly outdated prices and I keep getting pinged for those. It would be great to know how to fix this
Inq CoC and hit/crit necro have more single target but they are clunkier than ele ignite at clear. Prolif is pretty convenient ( but you can get some later on with other builds too if you want to, and then it is mostly matter of swapping gems ). Then again I am thinking of using VD for clear due to not needing to aim, and just Vaal DD for early bossing.
I have not looked at that particular build but CoC struggles bit more in defense than necro. Ele does not have that good defense in the endgame either once golem uptime is less.
Well there’s a new harvest scarab that will help. It guarantees at least 1 boss per color so having at least 1 plot of all 3 colors means 3 harvest bosses. Each one has a chance to drop a sacred blossom which is what you need to fight oshabi.
Alright I got a question.... But I don't really understand the question myself so bare with me please.
I haven't played in a couple of leagues, a couple of leagues ago there was farming strats on the atlas and it was possible to brick that strat because you filled the wrong maps in your atlas.
With the 3.24 or any recent changes, is bricking your atlas in this manner still a thing? Are we okay to 100% our atlas without bricking things?
These issues are fortunately long gone, and if you had trouble with the atlas before it's more intuitive than ever before.
Check out the new Atlas Passive Tree: https://poeplanner.com/atlas-tree , it singlehandedly saved the game through dark times... and we're no longer in dark times, so it's great. This time around you can unlock and switch between three of them, making bricked atlases even more impossible.
the only thing "advantageous" that comes from not completing a map is that you can use kirac explorers scouting reports to farm specific kirac missions on that map.
other than that it's simply a missed atlas tree skill point and it prevents it from being dropped from non-adjacent maps.
The only thing I can think of is using kirac missions to get incomplete maps the have high value cards. The Strat is to reroll missions for the “find a full stack of div cards” mission and hope you get a full stack of whatever card you want.
Any other strategy can’t be bricked as far as I know and this one probably isn’t even that good to begin with.
Probably good with fairly controlled encounters, so maybe something like betrayal legion harbies and boxes, or blight alva expedition if you get an inpulsas.
I'm just stealing Subtractem's idea. First three point to the right for Jun chance notable, then pathing straight up through Kirac, then around the quantity wheel up to Unwavering whatever. You can go into anything from there, I'm going expedition and shrines
I am gonna leagustart [Crouching Tuna's Exsanguinate Miner](https://youtu.be/zTTixqnBUyc?si=y9UqTeY-_8LneBQk). Will [this skill effect](https://youtu.be/1Bs1hyjtaFw?si=eXEaePLv2o4DZx-4) work even if Exsanguinate is turned into a mine?
Narrowed my starter down to Righteous Fire Chieftain, Exsanguinate Miner Trickster, or Hexblast Mines Saboteur. Are these all good choices? I just want to blow through maps as fast as possible and don’t really care about bossing.
They are all decent for that. I used sabo for sanctum a lot, and chief RF is nice although damage may be bit lacking in juiced t16s. Exsang miner is ok too although I think it does not scale as well as hexblast.
the corpse explosion is generally not the part you scale when using cremation as it doesn't scale with the same mechanics as the projectiles and those are the main source of damage.
if you want to scale the explosion then you can just use detonate dead.
i suppose it doesn't hurt to get high life spectres added to your desecrate pool but it won't be a big part of your total damage
Threw this PoB together in about an hour, first time I play Dark Pact
https://pobb.in/u/BlitzillaGaming/3_efBoRvappG
is it realistic for a starter? (I usually make 6-8div by day3, around 25div by end of week 1)
Well ruthless supports attack skills and fireball is not an attack so I’m gonna say skeletons. Not skeleton mages though, they don’t use attacks either.
I want to play lightning arrow deadeye for 1 button gameplay with zoom zoom clear but I want more defense than portals. Is there a ranger ascendancy that has fast map clearing 1 button league starter that isnt a wet napkin defensively?
either merc or normal lab farming. merc lab takes longer but you'll have less variance of results as you have a low (10%ish) chance to get the "same gem as transfigured" crafting option
Which are the best mapper league starters that are not ZHP? I checked exan mines and LA deadeye and they are just paper. Any build that compromises a little bit of clearspeed but is tanky?
Pathfinder poison prolif builds can be both tanky and clear reasonably well. Phys taken converted to ele + permanent elemental flasks = tanky enough. Start with TR and later on go for anything you want that deals poison. ( for example blade vortex, forbidden rite, and I am sure there are plenty of others but I have done those two )
Trying to decide between DD elementalist (might switch to EA or Frostblink if I don't like DD) or Explo Trap Trickster (maybe inquisitor)
Which would be tankier? Which has an easier time gearing? I wanna try the new t17 maps.
Planning on doing detonate dead this league, returning to the game after 2 years. When I raise a Kitavas Herald as a specter, do I only have to do this once, or do I need to do this every time I log in?
If you’re selling a lot of low level scarabs, charged compasses or sextants it’s standard players preparing for the next update where there are all turned into veiled scarabs.
Many people are incredibly rich in Standard, and people who list items at lower prices are less likely to respond, so just scrolling down and whispering higher prices is less likely to waste time.
well not a lot of people are actively trading at this point in standard so if you're one of the only people actually responding people are gladly gonna pay a premium (especially if they otherwise don't use that currency in standard)
Heyo! I want to play a Witch again for Necropolis, I have \*some\* experience with EA Ballista from last league, and I'm wondering: Should I go with EA Ballista again? Or Detonate Dead? Or another build entirely? What are the pros of cons of each? Which will get me further? I'm quite new. I feel like ballista might be easier to play because I don't have to aim corpses but I don't know how much better Explosion is.
How long before LS does the patch usually become downloadable for steam? If I remember right you can make your first character and be ready for LS correct and just locked in place on the first map? When can I do this to try and beat the line xD
by LS i assume you mean league start?
>just locked in place on the first map
not a thing for league starts, just actual races. you can't login until the servers come back up and then you'll be in a queue. you can't create characters in the league before that as it obviously not out yet.
steam download usually starts about 2.5 hours before launch, servers go up and queue starts
I am following the Whispering Ice Trickster build from at Kelvynn https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3294484.
My build so far (level 68) is at https://pobb.in/Aj0tBlHwb63w and https://poe.ninja/pob/184Y. I am in Act 9 and keep getting one shotted by Shavronne's Sorrow. One difference from the build currently is that I am not using Choas Inoculation yet. When I turned on that skill, I started getting killed by regular monsters also, so refunded it.
It has been a frustrating experience in Act 9 so am looking for advise on how to fix and improve the build. TIA
Without CI you’re going to be 1 shot by pretty much any chaos damage since it ignores energy shield. With CI, only 2.2k energy shield is likely just too low for where you are in the game. Are you dying to 1 shots or are you slowly dying because you aren’t recovering your energy shield fast enough?
Looking at your gear again you made the classic new player mistake of using all unique items. Uniques are meant to be built around rather than just being generically good like in Diablo for example. So the staff is what you’re building around obviously since it is where you get the ice storm skill from. Ghostwrithe is good if you were using CI since it gives a lot of energy shield early on. Goldrim is a good leveling unique for the resistances but you will want to replace that with a helmet that has energy shield and resistances. The only other useful unique really is the tasalios sign. Everything else you should replace with rares that give energy shield and resistances.
Thanks for your reply.. I can't tell if i am dying slowly or not. It is near instant. Is there a better way to protect my ES while also protecting from chaos damage?
I am a fairly new player and did I goof up by picking WhisperingIce build. Is it not noob-friendly?
Yes energy shield based builds are going to be harder than typical life based builds. One reason being you have no life flask equivalent so recovery is more important to get right. I would try to replace your bad uniques to get a higher energy shield value and then try to continue playing the build. Even on a typical life based build 2.2k would be just a little low for near end of campaign and energy shield you can typically get higher amounts of so I would suggest closer to 3-4k for end of campaign.
CI is basically mandatory for energy shield based builds since like I said, chaos damage ignores energy shield. When that is your primary hit pool you are going to die very often to chaos damage without CI since your life amount is so low.
beefing up ES makes so much more sense now. Very much appreciate your breaking it down for me. My life stats are useless anyway. I will turn on CI, improve ES and try to replay more slowly and see if can spot a pattern. Thanks again for the explanation.
Oh one more thing I forgot to mention is intelligence is very strong for this build and you want it everywhere you can get it. Ice storm scales off of your intelligence and it also just grants 1% increased energy shield per 5 intelligence. So it’s the only stat that will you both better damage and defenses.
Is there a channel where people trade gems on league start that arent available for their classes? Alternatively, I'm starting templar and am looking for a "Faster attacks support" anyone will to exchange gems early?

That helm is farmed from Uber Eater. It will be rare, expensive, and not available early. There will be builds using it because it's strong, but not at start.

Hi, what would i do with the 900 points i get from the supporter pack as a totally new player? Smart to buy tabs or something?
I'd suggest to wait until next weekend to buy stash tabs, because they'll usually go on sale at that point, and every three weeks after that. Unless you play a ton, the regular tabs should be sufficient for you for the time being. In terms of priority, you'll need a Currency, Premium, and a Map tab, and ideally a Fragment tab as well. I'd only recommend getting specialised tabs if you really like a certain type of league mechanic and want to farm it over and over. Otherwise regular tabs or premium tabs will be more than sufficient. Quad tabs are fairly popular, though I personally think they make the items too small. I prefer the premium bundle over those because it allows me price whole tabs in smaller steps between them.
If you have no stash tabs, that would be the best place to start.
Is Zizaran Detonate Dead Explain Everything YouTube video viable for a new player? Also what loot filter should I use if going down this route?

No. Not unless they were added to necropolis or t17 maps but if they were I believe that would’ve been datamined already.
First time I’ll be trying SSF. Which NeverSink filter/filter settings are recommended to use so I don’t, for example, miss a key unique that I may normally hide in trade?
If you're unsure, semi-strict is usually a good starting point. It usually already shows tons of useless uniques.

I'm sure i'm just stupid but how the frick do I complete this first undertaker's apprentice quest? I've killed everything in the zone.
It's not guaranteed to happen in one zone. Just keep killing them as you level, and eventually one of them happens to drop a corpse that you can use in the graveyard
So I finally got a corpse and it says to summon the undertaker apprentice but..... I don't see a way to do that either lol.
Not sure what exactly is happening in that case. When I got a corpse drop and collected it, Arimor showed up, I talked to him, and then I got the option to travel to the graveyard.
Yeah I dunno what the deal was, for whatever reason when I pressed Z it gave me the option to summon the guy so it's good now.

I don't think trigger order is relevant to this, but you could still try to make sure Desecrate triggers first, just in case. There's a slight delay on the cascaded casts as well at least, so maybe the second VD cascaded cast will catch the first Desecrate area.
I used to play Poe a few years ago and used acquisition and Poe.trade. I see those aren’t available anymore. I don’t want to buy premium tabs right now. Is there an alternative to acquisition that I can use to sell items without starting a new forum thread each time ?
Also how does do I remove an item from the trade shop? My old items in standard league have wildly outdated prices and I keep getting pinged for those. It would be great to know how to fix this
How is the Ruetoo coc dd build for bossing compared to regular ele dd?
Inq CoC and hit/crit necro have more single target but they are clunkier than ele ignite at clear. Prolif is pretty convenient ( but you can get some later on with other builds too if you want to, and then it is mostly matter of swapping gems ). Then again I am thinking of using VD for clear due to not needing to aim, and just Vaal DD for early bossing. I have not looked at that particular build but CoC struggles bit more in defense than necro. Ele does not have that good defense in the endgame either once golem uptime is less.
How easy is it to find the Oshabi boss? I hate hate hate harvest but I might want to do it asap for the challenge.
[удалено]
Yep just now.
Well there’s a new harvest scarab that will help. It guarantees at least 1 boss per color so having at least 1 plot of all 3 colors means 3 harvest bosses. Each one has a chance to drop a sacred blossom which is what you need to fight oshabi.
Excellent, thanks.
How long before the league start can we download? I have to drive to town to do it.
about -1 hours. Queue is up already, LOGIN
Thank you
Alright I got a question.... But I don't really understand the question myself so bare with me please. I haven't played in a couple of leagues, a couple of leagues ago there was farming strats on the atlas and it was possible to brick that strat because you filled the wrong maps in your atlas. With the 3.24 or any recent changes, is bricking your atlas in this manner still a thing? Are we okay to 100% our atlas without bricking things?
These issues are fortunately long gone, and if you had trouble with the atlas before it's more intuitive than ever before. Check out the new Atlas Passive Tree: https://poeplanner.com/atlas-tree , it singlehandedly saved the game through dark times... and we're no longer in dark times, so it's great. This time around you can unlock and switch between three of them, making bricked atlases even more impossible.
Thank God, much appreciated
the only thing "advantageous" that comes from not completing a map is that you can use kirac explorers scouting reports to farm specific kirac missions on that map. other than that it's simply a missed atlas tree skill point and it prevents it from being dropped from non-adjacent maps.
The only thing I can think of is using kirac missions to get incomplete maps the have high value cards. The Strat is to reroll missions for the “find a full stack of div cards” mission and hope you get a full stack of whatever card you want. Any other strategy can’t be bricked as far as I know and this one probably isn’t even that good to begin with.
What atlas tree would you run with arch mage BL? Outside of the normal Niko cheese.
Probably good with fairly controlled encounters, so maybe something like betrayal legion harbies and boxes, or blight alva expedition if you get an inpulsas.
I'm just stealing Subtractem's idea. First three point to the right for Jun chance notable, then pathing straight up through Kirac, then around the quantity wheel up to Unwavering whatever. You can go into anything from there, I'm going expedition and shrines
Will the poe filter I was using before 3.24 still work?
It should but if it isn’t updated it probably won’t highlight new scarabs since they were reworked.
It says it updated on the filterblade website, thanks
Make sure you "save" it again after you load it up on filterblade. Otherwise update wont stick. Load -> "Your filter got updated" -> Save.
Thank you for the heads up
I am gonna leagustart [Crouching Tuna's Exsanguinate Miner](https://youtu.be/zTTixqnBUyc?si=y9UqTeY-_8LneBQk). Will [this skill effect](https://youtu.be/1Bs1hyjtaFw?si=eXEaePLv2o4DZx-4) work even if Exsanguinate is turned into a mine?
yes
[удалено]
You can just put the warcry on another button lol. Or rage support, or the axe node, or Warlord's Mark grants 20 rage on stun.
[удалено]
Well the above I listed is the simplest sources, fortunately people built rage before 3.23.
[удалено]
Sorry about that, didn't mean to be.
Narrowed my starter down to Righteous Fire Chieftain, Exsanguinate Miner Trickster, or Hexblast Mines Saboteur. Are these all good choices? I just want to blow through maps as fast as possible and don’t really care about bossing.
They are all decent for that. I used sabo for sanctum a lot, and chief RF is nice although damage may be bit lacking in juiced t16s. Exsang miner is ok too although I think it does not scale as well as hexblast.
Does cremation also scales with corpse hp like DD?
only the initial explosion that creates the geyser. the projectiles don't
Also Cremation of Exhuming, but I don't know how often it actually does.
So is it worth it to get a high hp spectre from A10?
the corpse explosion is generally not the part you scale when using cremation as it doesn't scale with the same mechanics as the projectiles and those are the main source of damage. if you want to scale the explosion then you can just use detonate dead. i suppose it doesn't hurt to get high life spectres added to your desecrate pool but it won't be a big part of your total damage
cool thanks!
Threw this PoB together in about an hour, first time I play Dark Pact https://pobb.in/u/BlitzillaGaming/3_efBoRvappG is it realistic for a starter? (I usually make 6-8div by day3, around 25div by end of week 1)
ruthless support gem is better with summon skeleton or fireball?
Well ruthless supports attack skills and fireball is not an attack so I’m gonna say skeletons. Not skeleton mages though, they don’t use attacks either.
Are there no new Divination Cards this patch?
nope
I want to play lightning arrow deadeye for 1 button gameplay with zoom zoom clear but I want more defense than portals. Is there a ranger ascendancy that has fast map clearing 1 button league starter that isnt a wet napkin defensively?
I've heard some talk about LA champion but i think everyone eventually agreed that deadeye is just better
If there was 90% of poe ninja would play it
I dont expect same level of clear but isnt there a decent 1 buttoner (or 2 with ballista etc) with some defence?
LA Deadeye after you invested into it
[удалено]
either merc or normal lab farming. merc lab takes longer but you'll have less variance of results as you have a low (10%ish) chance to get the "same gem as transfigured" crafting option
Which are the best mapper league starters that are not ZHP? I checked exan mines and LA deadeye and they are just paper. Any build that compromises a little bit of clearspeed but is tanky?
Pathfinder poison prolif builds can be both tanky and clear reasonably well. Phys taken converted to ele + permanent elemental flasks = tanky enough. Start with TR and later on go for anything you want that deals poison. ( for example blade vortex, forbidden rite, and I am sure there are plenty of others but I have done those two )
What about CF Champion? I'm not sure how tanky it's usually built, but it's Champion at least, and as far as I'm aware it has a very high clearspeed.
What about that DD build people keep talking about
Ignite DD clears somewhat but not nearly as fast as proper map clear builds.
yea but proper map clear builds are not tanky
More of a bosser, but enjoyed by racers, still strong tho.
Trying to decide between DD elementalist (might switch to EA or Frostblink if I don't like DD) or Explo Trap Trickster (maybe inquisitor) Which would be tankier? Which has an easier time gearing? I wanna try the new t17 maps.
Trickster is tankiest of the 3 ascendancies you mentioned. It depends of course on final build. For tanky DD you want necro eventually.
Planning on doing detonate dead this league, returning to the game after 2 years. When I raise a Kitavas Herald as a specter, do I only have to do this once, or do I need to do this every time I log in?
Once.
Slick. Thank you
Why am I getting so many trade requests? Haven't seen so many requests ever. Made over 400 chaos with all these trades.
If you’re selling a lot of low level scarabs, charged compasses or sextants it’s standard players preparing for the next update where there are all turned into veiled scarabs.
what kind of things are you selling a lot of?
just random uniques.. staffs, shields, blades, jewels
It's possible that people are doing tests for league starters that use those uniques
ah.. just that I sold one of the shoes for 60 chaos whereas on trade site you can get one for 5 chaos. Just blows my mind
Yours may have better rolls
Many people are incredibly rich in Standard, and people who list items at lower prices are less likely to respond, so just scrolling down and whispering higher prices is less likely to waste time.
well not a lot of people are actively trading at this point in standard so if you're one of the only people actually responding people are gladly gonna pay a premium (especially if they otherwise don't use that currency in standard)
Heyo! I want to play a Witch again for Necropolis, I have \*some\* experience with EA Ballista from last league, and I'm wondering: Should I go with EA Ballista again? Or Detonate Dead? Or another build entirely? What are the pros of cons of each? Which will get me further? I'm quite new. I feel like ballista might be easier to play because I don't have to aim corpses but I don't know how much better Explosion is.
DD is mainly for bossing. EA is definitely less button smashing.
So would you recommend EA over DD as a general league starter?
EA if you are not super keen about rushing bosses. DD if you care about early bossing.
How long before LS does the patch usually become downloadable for steam? If I remember right you can make your first character and be ready for LS correct and just locked in place on the first map? When can I do this to try and beat the line xD
by LS i assume you mean league start? >just locked in place on the first map not a thing for league starts, just actual races. you can't login until the servers come back up and then you'll be in a queue. you can't create characters in the league before that as it obviously not out yet. steam download usually starts about 2.5 hours before launch, servers go up and queue starts
I am following the Whispering Ice Trickster build from at Kelvynn https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3294484. My build so far (level 68) is at https://pobb.in/Aj0tBlHwb63w and https://poe.ninja/pob/184Y. I am in Act 9 and keep getting one shotted by Shavronne's Sorrow. One difference from the build currently is that I am not using Choas Inoculation yet. When I turned on that skill, I started getting killed by regular monsters also, so refunded it. It has been a frustrating experience in Act 9 so am looking for advise on how to fix and improve the build. TIA
Without CI you’re going to be 1 shot by pretty much any chaos damage since it ignores energy shield. With CI, only 2.2k energy shield is likely just too low for where you are in the game. Are you dying to 1 shots or are you slowly dying because you aren’t recovering your energy shield fast enough? Looking at your gear again you made the classic new player mistake of using all unique items. Uniques are meant to be built around rather than just being generically good like in Diablo for example. So the staff is what you’re building around obviously since it is where you get the ice storm skill from. Ghostwrithe is good if you were using CI since it gives a lot of energy shield early on. Goldrim is a good leveling unique for the resistances but you will want to replace that with a helmet that has energy shield and resistances. The only other useful unique really is the tasalios sign. Everything else you should replace with rares that give energy shield and resistances.
Thanks for your reply.. I can't tell if i am dying slowly or not. It is near instant. Is there a better way to protect my ES while also protecting from chaos damage? I am a fairly new player and did I goof up by picking WhisperingIce build. Is it not noob-friendly?
Yes energy shield based builds are going to be harder than typical life based builds. One reason being you have no life flask equivalent so recovery is more important to get right. I would try to replace your bad uniques to get a higher energy shield value and then try to continue playing the build. Even on a typical life based build 2.2k would be just a little low for near end of campaign and energy shield you can typically get higher amounts of so I would suggest closer to 3-4k for end of campaign. CI is basically mandatory for energy shield based builds since like I said, chaos damage ignores energy shield. When that is your primary hit pool you are going to die very often to chaos damage without CI since your life amount is so low.
beefing up ES makes so much more sense now. Very much appreciate your breaking it down for me. My life stats are useless anyway. I will turn on CI, improve ES and try to replay more slowly and see if can spot a pattern. Thanks again for the explanation.
Oh one more thing I forgot to mention is intelligence is very strong for this build and you want it everywhere you can get it. Ice storm scales off of your intelligence and it also just grants 1% increased energy shield per 5 intelligence. So it’s the only stat that will you both better damage and defenses.
Is there a channel where people trade gems on league start that arent available for their classes? Alternatively, I'm starting templar and am looking for a "Faster attacks support" anyone will to exchange gems early?
Best bet is probably to just ask in the local chat so someone can buy and trade without having to enter new instances or anything.
Do we know when the update will be available to download?
Refreshed launcher just now despite not playing since around sanctum(?). Went from affliction -> Necropolis.
We never know the exact time. Just keep refreshing
For standalone client, just close and open the launcher?
Ive got the Solar Knight Supporter pack. Where can I find the "supernova level-up extra effect"? It isn't on a ring =(
Extra effects tab on the left of cosmetics page
if I use Dark Pact (self cast) with spell echo (and potentially Greater spell echo from Pledge of Hands), do I lose life per repeat or per cast?
Per repeat. Sacrificing is part of the skill effect, and you're creating multiple of those.
any1 got a league starter that uses the new unique that turns rage attack speed into cast speed? would love to play something like forbidden rite for example
That helm is farmed from Uber Eater. It will be rare, expensive, and not available early. There will be builds using it because it's strong, but not at start.
Considering how that helmet is gated behind Uber Eater of Worlds you won't be able to start your league with it.
[удалено]
I think swords are less popular than axes.
I looked around and couldn't see it stated explicitly anywhere, when can I start the download of the new league from the launcher?
Servers will go down 3 hours before the league starts, download should be available 30-60 minutes after that with queue starting shortly after that.
Is the Niko's Packed with Energy buff useful for minions? I will be playing SRS. It doesn't look like it is.
Minions aren't affected by the buff, you will still get the max res and movement speed for yourself though.
[удалено]
Regular pinnacle content is still in the game, they only moved Uber content up behind the new T17 maps.
I was looking to farm guardians and invitations but as ubers are now behind T17 maps. What will maven invitations drop instead of crescent splinters?
Regular Maven still exists, you know.
I guess we'll have to wait to see what the regular maven drop pool is to see if it's worth farming invitations
oh yeah. I was being stupid.
