Nerfing private league is a lot different than nerfing map mods/purple juice adding projectiles, cause private leagues cost money and puts them pretty dangerously in to p2w territory. We're far enough in to the league at this point I don't think they are nerfing/changing anything else, so hold...

The cheating is so bad I legitimately have no idea how anyone still plays this game. The matchmaking+loading times alone make the dice roll of 30-50% of someone just flying through the sky in your game spewing head/eyes entirely not worth it, to say nothing of actual progression and stacking...

Spent all evening fucking around with ambidexterity dual strike and man, this seems like garbage lol. I think you could make the damage work, but my initial run at it of stacking rage for flat phys > fire convert with anger and herald of ash just isn't it. Even if you did fix the damage though...

Depends how much wisp nonsense your build can handle really. If you can juice to 5k+ wisps and not be absolutely miserable then it's going to be wandering path + abyss + growing hordes - wisp count scales with pack size in the map, so growing hordes means easily hitting 5k+ wisps every map...

Because of headhunter - the most powerful buffs to steal generally are giving phys as extra elemental damage, so having huge base phys is better than flat ele.

Yea they are solely for the bigger pack size, so you typically just spam whatever the cheapest and largest scarabs are and then get your preferred league mechanic from sextants or the atlas device itself etc

Growing hordes replaces regular scarab functionality

I feel like fuckin Zoidberg right now with his 300$ tax rebate. Was gonna mirror my first item ever after finally selling some big stuff, but mirrors are fucking 420 divines and the fee is 150 lmao ONE ART PLEASE

Be careful using those 'wealth' tools - they tend to vastly inflate your idea about what you are looting/earning. The reality is none of those oils you picked up that are lower than like, a crimson, are worth anything cause no one will buy them. They tend to also do this for div cards and other...

New storm brand reaching sorta endgame status at this point. My ES is still kinda shit but I'm really not sure how I can fix it, maybe another large cluster and some ES smalls? Damage on this skill in unreal, PoB is using chain in the main link and the clear is obscene. I can blast any random...

Sometimes lucky boys

The answer right now is the new storm brand. The price to just ass blast t16s is whatever ralakesh costs + maybe 2 divines of random other junk? I'm completely coasting just grinding levels in t14s right now with a 5L and chain in my links, doing wildwood etc no problem. Brand playstyle is still...

Just got in to the 80s on power charge stacking nonsense. So far it's working pretty well? The new brand is completely cracked and is just an upgrade from the original. Lot of things to fix still, the biggest of which is gonna by my res - I'm not actually quite sure how I'm gonna do this aside...

It's a little bit fiddly since if both of them are ever dead at the same time the aura turns off and you have to press the button again, but you can generally monkey with it enough to get them out of sync to the point where one is alive longer than the other. It's pretty fucking strong, but I'm...

Anyone messed around with the new spectres yet? They have some crazy auras and other benefits on them, so much so that I'm thinking using a spectre or two in a regular build just for the buffs from might really be worth the links. I just don't really have any concept of how durable would...

I mean, the boots basically say 'you always have max of all charges and you can't lose them or have them stolen'. They also have 30 movespeed and chaos res. So a random deadeye bow build no longer has to run a frenzy+manaforged setup, or use power charge on crit anywhere, or take the mark...

Heh that's kinda cute yea, just have 10-11 of all charges at all times. The pathing has to be a fucking nightmare though

I'm pretty high on the ralakesh charge stack package currently, I'm just not sure which spell to apply it all too. The numbers on new storm brand do look fucking nuts, and the re-attach time and cast speed means that yea you won't really need to be fucking with brand recall that much. I bought...

Above is correct, Rog works off of the required item level of a particular mod, and life rolls have a relatively low ilvl requirement so they will get removed first and often passed up when you do 'reroll X times keeping the best', because by 'best' it means 'highest ilvl requirement'. That's...

Lighting arrow starter has been uh, fine I guess? It's just really not for me though I don't think. Leveling was a breeze, early maps were a breeze, but lategame it's just a death fest and the only real way forward to just spend a mountain of cash to have overwhelming DPS, which probably means...

It's an 'enchant' for uh, reasons, and all of them are in a dropdown under one heading like so: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/6jjJ5odcG

Zenith molten strike with a big Rakiatas sword should fit in to the general champion shell just fine. It's not supported in PoB yet so can't see the actual numbers, but rough math says it should do like ~35% more damage than base molten strike (assuming all return proj hit etc). But if your...

Yea RI is done as well and the core all moved to WoW, just why continue? At every opportunity they've proven they either entirely don't care or are entirely incapable of actually managing the game in any real way. I'm sure some amalgam of roosters/FTE/RI will still be able to raid, but the...

Yea all the movement skills that aren't actually tagged as 'blink' do that - whirling blades, shield charge, even dash.

The time to do this was a month ago when it didn't work in the first place, or maybe when the servers economy imploded They are trying to bail water out of the titanic at this point.

So does Firefox just not work at all for Twitch anymore? I swapped to Edge for a bit cause Firefox couldn't claim drops on Twitch for some thing, but Edge is fucking cancerous ad-spam and I can't take it anymore. Clean install, 0 extensions, no browsing data of any kind on Firefox tho and it...

Over 30% of their workforce canned. The question now is does Hasbro drag WOTC/MTG down with it during its death throes https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/hasbro-layoffs-toy-company-ed760682

Shield charge is only viable if you're one of those weirdos that runs 1000 copies of the same map like atoll or whatever that only has open/straight areas and 0 rocks or obstructions in it. God help your shield charging if your map has a single piece of terrain in it.

No, leap slam is still amazing, they are probably just using a weapon type that can't leap slam like daggers or claws. The only real issue with leap slam is it still will eat up exerts without spending a passive if that's what you're doing. People that use/enjoy shield charge are psychopaths...

I think maybe there's hope for the atlas juicing on it, but it's such a huge time commitment it's really hard to say. If all you're really doing is trying to highroll a big div card or a 21/20 gem or something then why wouldn't you just do ritual at that point? It's faster, shits out more...

All my ultimatums have felt like complete garbage in terms of rewards so I've starting capturing them all just to get a better idea of how bad they actually suck Results so far are pretty damning, especially considering that clearing a 10/10 ultimatum takes longer than the entire rest of the...

Pretty bold of you to assume there will even be a 25th server the way things are going at this point. And even if there is, who's gonna give a fuck anymore? Unless they magically pull a complete 180 and start enforcing box armies/warping/automation no one is actually gonna care or take it...

The scaling is so absurd in some places it feels like someone put a decimal in the wrong place or something equally ridiculous. My unholy trinity made red laser orbs than were larger than my visible space in the game/arena, just completely nonsense things that didn't even happen during...

I'm beginning to have some questions about the scaling of the mob juice at the end of the campaign and going in to white maps. It doesn't take finding that many whisps for it to create mobs that are far and away more deadly than anything even original archnemesis offered. I'm talking like white...

Was kinda hoping these charms wouldn't be completely busted and make the class choice at least semi-interesting, but nooooooope, literally everyone will be a primalist sooner or later. Not even the T1 mod

You just have a boner for brutus The actual answer is paradoxica + brightbeak

In case anyone still cares: legacy XP still doesn't work, economy still in shambles, server confirmed dead RI is taking a break/quit already, dunno what other guilds are still playing, but I can't imagine why they would at this point New WoW server is kinda cool tho

I did ~20ish of the highsec combat sites today in the shitty praxis below without any issue at all, so they really aren't that hard (don't use cruise missiles, use heavy assaults or rapid heavies, i just happen to have tech2 cruise missiles and while it's still worse the ammo is cheaper). The...

Assuming you're willing to use a 2h (which you are cause rakiatas exists) this obliterates regular molten strike when you account for the 5 extra proj all returning to you with nimis or return support. You can also reasonably use intimidating cry for double damage in boss situations.
