I play a little bit here and there, made sure to finish 24 challenges (not doing 36) and some stuff like that but the league in general is pretty dead so i don't feel any urge to make currency, which is usually the goal. Starting out in this league is probably the most frustrating part with...

I like alteration spamming up to a point. It gets stupid if you're lookin for 1 specific super rare mod, like explodey when it first came out took me like 3000+ alts to get. But if you're rolling a phys weapon for example you'll see one of the mods you're looking for not too seldomly, even if...

Hard mode is kind of lol and my first reaction was they really are designing the game for the 5(?) HCSSF streamers. But if it's just Chris doing it then i think it's fine, and anyone that doesn't like Chris having input in the game can perhaps hope it acts as a distraction. I do think 3.13 and...

I basically played without flasks so i always had my auto trigger "of heat" flask ready to go. Thats a high price to pay but it's in the spirit of what they're trying to achieve i suppose and it did effectively delete piano flask untill i had it sorted by getting immunity. Still felt bad because...

I'm pretty happy with how the game plays but thats because i went out of my way to unnerf the flask changes by making myself curse and ailment immune on gear. But if thats a requirement to make a build feel good it's really gonna limit what you can play. And i guess i crafted gloves to play with...

Any clue how that works with Forbidden taste? Would you gain 75-100% of your energy shield or just 75-100% of whatever your HP pool is?

I'll admit that i was too optimistic about the enkindling/instilling orbs. In practice it sucks. League feels pretty dead. I think it's a pretty decent league mechanic so it's a bit of a shame. Been chasing ailment immunity on my chest from aisling so that goal has personally kept me going...

Fyi CI Forbidden Rite is not a great skill to self cast if anyone had the urge to try. Damage is meh (for my spec currently atleast but maybe it's salvagable?) and mechanically you end up in melee range because; 1, the auto targeting projectiles don't have a very large targeting area and more...

Ya it feels like only maps had a hard currency drop rate nerf...I guess the last few leagues have been out of the norm in how i could stop doing anything but maps. But now i've taken up delving again, i don't mind, delving can be fun.

Good question :) havent figured that out yet. I certainly seem to be running a socket surplus

In hindsight i was asking a bit much for a league start requirement but finally got my forbidden self cast gloves done. Had no clue they were going to nerf drops on top of makin things harder, I haven't gotten a single exalt, or divine/annul orbs for that matter to drop... it has what i wanted...

5-link Bane (4link soulrend for single target) occultist is ok up to T9 maps in gear i found/made myself. Mostly the corpse explosions doing work though. It's actually relatively buffed because the curses applied with bane don't seem to cost mana like in other trigger skills/items. Feel like red...

The upside to that is that you can always get something even if it's currently too expensive for you. The most annoying thing about expedition imo is the placing of the dynamite or whatever.

Sounds interesting, and i might be wrong, but wouldn't you just die instantly? 5% base cost on manabond and lifetap is a 300% cost increase and then your other supports.

I think it can still be ok with a higher budget.. I'd be hesitant of league starting it though. Lost base regen from arcane surge and a lot of damage. I league started BF/BB archmage raider last league and it was a pain to level and transition then.

Hey don't jinx it. I even want it to target hydrosphere. Winter orb does so i imagine it will.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3147751 I guess i'm actually doing forbidden rite. Thinking of leveling with bane or ed/con though.

Dmg nerf fine, but i didnt count on Oom league and that will probably feel terrible. On the plus side archmage didnt take as big of a nerf as i thought with all the higher mana multipliers and mana management is part of that build anyway. for example a 6% cost times 1.3^5 is around 22% mana cost...

I had the ranger starter bow in offhand with Caustic Arrow and pierce and it did better everywhere than cobra lash with lesser poison and lmp. And compared to what i normally do on a witch, frostbomb and oos+stormblast mines theres really no comparison. I don't really know why cobra lash...

Why isnt Cobra lash any good? On paper its a skill that looks like it should be amazing to play but i ran through act 1 with it and it was pretty terrible. Does it get any better? Interested me for a bit because of the poison buff and that theres hydrosphere for bosses now.

Thats such a long manifesto it's hard to sort out my feelings about it. Pros: The flasks need to change, so longterm pro...but short term ouch The ailment % icons are really nice. Dot multi clusters were over the top. Poisons? Cons: Awakened gems should've stayed (less to chase) Aisling...

Oh ya im dumb. My first draft of a CI version with essence drain as substitute. I was looking at cluster jewels and thought the notables on the chaos one sucked for a hit build. I think a clusters like this could be pretty good though alltough probably impossible to actually craft as good as this.

Forbidden rite is what caught my eye aswell. I don't like Totems so i haven't looked into that even though it seems to be what twitch chat is most excited about. I wanna do occultist i think just because i get profane bloom scaled to 100%+ of mobs hp pretty much for free. And i'm thinking CI...

I don't know what the meta solution is going to be but that could certainly be the case. I believe i'll be fine with whatever baseline they wanna set on player power level and clear speed (won't complain without trying it atleast) But ideally they should compensate by reducing arbitrary...

Chris said it would be about as hard as putting quality on your flasks so it shouldn't be too hard. But i want to see a fix to piano flasks so i'm willing to put up with some amount of inconvienience for that.

So what skills can use the "utility" supports the best seing as the damage supports are getting nerfed? First thing that popped into my mind was anything with GMP and multishots so perhaps a relative stealth buff to Winter orb? But even though i wish Worb was good i can't say i'm very hopeful...

I got to act 4 in the first gauntlet, furthest ive gotten. Died to doerdre. Last gauntlet i died twice in act 1 and just gave up and at this point i don't think ill try gauntlets any more. It's just so difficult, and every death is just that more punishing cause i try to be so careful and go at...

I'm the same way. There's still gear i'd like to perfect and i putz around in PoB but i feel my energy drain when i consider actually playing the game.

Thats interesting that you found ritual more streamlined, personally I think mechanically ultimatum is better than ritual because it's "snappier". For example you never run into the issue of an invisible mob you have to search for and you never feel locked in by having to search for your 2nd-4th...

So because of league launch servers being what they were, it turns out i forgot to complete 5 passive points worth of quests. I'm level 97, oops. I only noticed cause when i imported my character into PoB it said my level was 92. Spammed 5 chaos on a large cluster and arguably got the perfect 3...

Explode chest BV was great last league you really missed out. My 1 build this league is Bf bv archmage raider and it isn't the most fun to play imo...The boss dps isnt crazy and the map clear is annoying... Its survivable so can do ultimatums atleast.

I feel like im gonna jinx it for myself but i've had better performance. I still get the 1-2 seconds of textures loading upon entering a zone or perhaps for a short while when opening my inventory but nothing more serious and even these 2 issues i mentioned used to be worse when they first...

Empy lives in hungary i believe so he could definetly live on just stream income. Average income is under $1k per month there.

Been playing for 5ish hours straight whitout issue...Made it through act10 so thats good... But it seems the crashing might be back cause all of twitch just crashed

rolled back after completing lab twice...ffs

ouch...I've started waiting a while before zoning after finishing a quest or whatever just because i hope that wille prevent the rollback...no clue if that actually helps anything at all though

Oh man...ive been lookin for the item filters but i couldn't find them. Turns out, if anyone is wondering, they're on the top instead of the bottom in the same tab as before. I had a decent filter so it worked so far but i had a newer one with some tweaks.

Had to kill weaver twice, and just crashed again as i was zoning out of the cancer zone where you release the darkness in act 2 whatever it's called

Can't log in at all now...and ziz and quin can't either so i guess something is really broken

My herald of ice got Poofed in a crash... crash every few minutes...like almost every time i go back to town
