Welp, guess this shit works

Has anyone done the abyss MF strat? One nice thing about using an Utula's is I can buy really well rolled rarity/quantity ventors for cheap that have exactly 0 life and they still work with Utulas. I've switched Atlas and gotten the sextants/scarabs for Goratha's strat but Im not entirely clear...

Now that Im actually playing a character instead of experimenting I'm gonna miss this league mechanic. Not because of the loot, but because of the insane experience it adds to maps. 96 -> 97 only took 12 maps. If you get lucky and get like 6k+ juice in each map you could probably do it in 8-10...

No idea. I think the problem I have with the endgame is a combination of the skill animations and character movement being lackluster combined with the end game "maps" being mostly random (random layouts/tilesets, random events for completion, etc).

Last Epoch has a weirdly, almost painfully, boring endgame. Kinda hard to explain until you experience it. Nothing really wrong with the game, and it has some nice systems and ideas, but man is the endgame boring.

That's just petrified blood. You eventually get used to it when playing with it long enough.

What does the clear speed of packs normally look like? Is it just one cast? Here's a short video of me in a normal, unjuiced T16. Keep in mind I don't run Malevolence and also don't have despair in my CWDT curse setup. Its punishment (I love the debilitate) + Enfeeble + Temp chains. I self cast...

The quant modifier from yellow wisps should work on juice drops. Though pack size is always king for Harvest farming.

Second the forbidden rite setup. Here's a high budget dot capped version of what Deathwing is playing https://pobb.in/5l41BCBzQyLJ And here is Ruetoo's version which does not use mahu but still can tank uber sirus meteor Older tree on that one so have to reconfigure a bit if playing it...

Well wisps definitely affect the monsters in the sacred grove. And harvest juice does get affected by quant so don't see why it wouldn't. Its fuckin rippy as hell though man. I did a few harvests earlier in the league just running through maps after only getting like 2k wisps and whoo boy.

9 mil dps should feel fine while mapping. Just paying the 80c or whatever it is for the stupid King of the Mists quest and adding an explode charm would probably feel better and less "rampy"? Assuming your CWDT setup applies the curses fast, not sure how all that chaos max res affects your CWDT...

I gotta be honest with you. Master Surgeon is bait. Palsteron is baiting everyone trying to pretend it isnt. It requires too much extra investment to make it worthwhile and then you still have to remember to press the damn thing every ~7-8 seconds or whatever it is, and you lose a utility flask...

Think this is the final take on the Forbidden Rite Pathfinder budget build. Swapped Malevolence for Determ + Defiance Banner, switched a flask suffix from cast speed to armour and switched some things in the tree to take some more cast speed nodes. Phys max hit went from ~11k to 18k without...

GODDAMMIT CHRIS

I don't disagree that Assassin and Gladiator are the most lackluster ascendencies at the moment but for Assassin in particular the changed Ralakesh open a lot of doors for them. An ES build that stacks phys to ele conversion with Gravens is incredibly tanky and now has no downside. You can now...

Oh hrmmm, I checked prices a while back on mahu and it was ~20div. At 5 div I might play around with it. That tempered by war combo is a nice one.

Infused/Frenetic

Wait @Deathwing are you sure you were searching for them correctly? This one has 4, one on a node you wouldnt want to travel to, one a mostly wasted frenzy charge but its only one extra passive, and 2 on nodes that are actually worth taking (especially if you're going spell suppress), and its...

Timeless jewels are honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in any game... ever. Lets design an item that has meaningless flavor text and players will need a third party tool to even see what it does. Oh, and it will add or change up to a dozen notables in radius and who has the time...

The one that I have in my build, I bought for 80c 3 days ago. Not sure why they are so expensive now. However, I bought that when I was still running a cloak of flames setup. I'm sure they help but honestly I'm leaning towards replacing with something that will offer more life or an impossible...

Everything is ridiculously cheap. That +1 power charge fenumus was 1div, that perfect max roll life/2 projectile gem Utulas was also, 1 div. All the other uniques in that PoB are like 50c or less. I'm guessing that there are so many more timeless emblems available for cheap because of MFers...

Also, I think Stasis Prison is just straight up better than both of these under higher budget scenarios

I played around SO MUCH with perfect agony, leaning hard into crit and crit multi, and it was always worse than just going straight up dot. Right now I'm "fine" against phys. What I would like to do, and think I'll do, is replace Malevolence for either Determ or Grace (probably grace) and swap...

So after a bunch of experimenting and playing around with stuff trying to learn more about actually making a build that works I finally came up with something. https://pobb.in/YgSChvB_6nB7 Not sure why it shows 3500hp, I have ~4600 in game. I like Forbidden Rite as a skill and it allows you...

Just dropped by to say after all my hemming and hawing about maximum leech effect and the only way to get it being from brutal fervour I just figured out you can get that exact effect from charms this league. Fuck me.

On the bright side, Magebloods keep going down in price

Who's P and why is he lying about From Software?

These voided Mageblood maps are the best thing they ever added to the game. Divines are only ~155c this league AND Magebloods are under 200div. Last league I paid 380div for my Mageblood AND divs were like 220c each.

Wandering Path is good for many different farming strategies but it's necessary to have a good understanding of a variety of mechanics and the Atlas tree in general to make it feel good. For instance Chisels aren't a problem with Wandering Path because they can drop in droves from Eldritch...

Hes using Icefang Orbit and WInterweave with Golden Rule to self chill. Apeps is a good idea, forgot about those 2 shield varieties.

Wait a minute... Temporal Chains: "Recovery effects from leech and flask expire more slowly while recovering the same amount per second of whatever resource they provide. However, other sources of life recovery over a fixed time such as Lifesprig, Doppelgänger Guise, and recoup, are unaffected...

Unfortunately, the only thing that affects that total duration is total maximum recovery mod, which you can only increase via Brutal Fervour (the Slayer ascendancy passive). That one passive is the ONLY way to counteract the reduced maximum recovery from the gloves because it's the only thing...

I did just test these since they are only 1c and unfortunately yep, cuts the leech timer from 5s to 2.5s. Too bad, woulda been a nice way to maintain.

You would have vendored a White socket 6L with all T1 rolls? Come on now...

I think the less maximum total recovery per leech is a non-starter on these. I need the leech instances to last longer than my reflected poison instances so I can use Golden Rule + Tainted Pact and self poison as an "immortality" mechanism. I believe I'll run into suicide scenarios where leech...

Are there any clever ways to not remove leech instances at full life without being a slayer and/or using petrified blood? Immortal Ambition is a thought but I was wondering if there was some other way without having to change up my gearing strategy for ES.

So when the season launched you could get up to like 18% from I think any lab. They hotfixed/patched that and I think you won't ever see more than 4% now from non-uber. When was it that you saw the 15%? Was it near league start?

I believe 8% quality only shows up in Uber lab as well, which requires gift of the goddess (though, thats really the only way lab is worth running because it also lets you use the font twice). Selling a level 20 gem to the merchant with the gemcutter's prism only works with support tagged gems...

The only "restriction" is the option to turn a specific gem into an alt version of that specific gem. I don't think that can appear until merc lab, but if it can appear before then it's way, way more rare. And the uber+ labs have a higher chance of getting it.

Before this league cold dot could do that pretty easily. I also did it this league with poison CA and then got fed up with the goddamn RNG trying to get my last 2 affliction ascendancy points. Any DOT build shines at the poor man's budget Atlas completion because its duck and run dps with high...
