While this is bullshit rumor mongering, a price hike is definitely coming. The current shortage in the DDR5 space is not something that will be solved any time soon. We're in for a solid 2-3 years minimum of absolute unavailability of parts. I'm not even sure we're going to see any kind of...

Don't get hung up on buying specifically a Pi. That entire space of cheap microcomputers has been entirely overrun with a flood of untraceable garbage from china and elsewhere. All you actually need is this: Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking It can run on any hardware/OS basically. So take...

I've been saying since the early tests the biggest problem this game has is being able to join raids late along with spawning more people in to raids after the initial loadout. Any map I get that is ~25 minutes or less remaining I just exit immediately - it's entirely pointless to even play...

I wouldn't even call that particularly unusual for PoE. Resetting campaign zones to farm a particular league mechanic has been a staple of the game since basically forever. Temples are rewarding enough though that being able to set up a near-perfect chain of good rooms is pretty strong though...

Which is hilarious that it even exists like that. I expect it will change and having an ass pocket requires a rig of some kind. This was a problem for years in Tarkov as well

Last time they 'fixed' melee in PoE1 was Legion and all they did was add uneven 1-2 attack animation to most skills and cut their base attack speed by 25-30%. Those changes persist to this day, and all the current meta strike skills are ones that somehow escaped this 'fix' because it fucking...

I mean as far as PoE2 goes it's easily in the top5 in terms of clear speed and still deletes bosses in 3 seconds.

All of PoE2 is bladefall/bladeblast

Why would you ever do more than 1-2 at a time for stuff you care about lmao Just asking to get ganked

Yea that's exactly what I've been running in to. Pieces that are 3500$ are made from manufactured wood with 'real wood' paneling and shit. It's all just jumped up Ikea trash and there's no shot I'm paying those prices for any of it.

I've found 0 in ~20 raids since that patch happened, so I dunno how the fuck people are getting entire inventories full of them

Where does anyone go to buy furniture these days? Like real furniture, not Ikea-tier particle board or manufactured wood. Trying to find a corner-piece console type thing that isn't make of sawdust have proven to be an actual challenge.

I'm all in on stormweaver I think. +2 limits and giga juiced remnants is gonna make some huuuuuuge firestorms/volcanos. Firestorm was already quite good but was only limited by the per-target cap. Now they've given it like 300% more damage but cut the frequency in half, so you should rarely...

Well I'll be damned Lara is actually still hot in current year somehow

Fuck you guys this looks hilarious Absolutely taking the piss and I'm so here for it

holy fuck im so ready

The tree 'crafting' was simply too powerful and accelerated everyone to week-4 burnout on day 5. Day 1 of the league you were a fool if you didn't remove every rare item from your filter after your first interaction with the provisioning tree. What used to take people days/weeks to do in terms...

Guess we're going barb next

Group mapping is extremely powerful in this because of how insane auras+curses etc scale. I'm on pure phys golems with level 35 amp damage if anyone is playing a barb lol

Yes lol. I had to add the 'deal no damage 3 seconds every 10 seconds' or whatever mod to my no-run regex for 16.5/17s because if i hit big packs while that was on it would crash my game. Similar problems trying to farm harbis with all the prox shields, but the scarabs for that randomly got so...

The scorch is mostly memes for when I run in to some stupid soul eater mob, I never worry about it outside weird niche scenarios like that. I haven't tried any ubers yet so I just haven't worried about endurance for normal pinnacles when I do them. The damage and AE is so overwhelming its just...

Whole game is sleeping on elemental hit right now. My current pob: https://pobb.in/eYMA9stNHJTe Total cost of this setup is uh, 20 divines? 25? And 15 of that is an enlighten 4 you could easily cut. The damage isn't even super accurate in PoB because i'm underselling the ailment effect and you...

It happened to me. I spent a few days on the Anni server on my rogue stealthed near various warlock summon bots that would spam sell summons to duke hydraxis for 5g and would just open trade with whoever they summoned instantly cause their bots were slow. 9/10 the person getting summoned would...

I can't decide on what do with scorch either. The boots kind of suck, but so does running skitters just to apply scorch, and both options cost you another large flat life roll which is really hard to come by as-is. It's part of why I went with the foulborn oppressor, as having 30%+ suppress on...

I ended up with a ~4k armor/evasion with t1 suppress chest because the stuff the tree puts out this league is stupid, but I don't know how realistic a chest like this is in a normal league. Using no defense auras I run around at ~13k armor/eva based off just gear values alone which is enough to...

First thing I noticed was inconsistent ailment effect as well. It's got to just be some rng issue of which element it picks combined with low rolls on the lightning damage resulting in poor shock application. Some of amount of ailment effect someplace would help tremendously, but it's a bit...

I'm converting my slayer over to something similar currently. Gave up on the Rakiata's plan for now. It's not bad really, but it's also not good enough to justify over just using a gigantic banishing blade or some kind of 1h+shield setup, either in terms of raw damage potential or having...

You can't even search for beast mods like that so they may as well not exist

The real issue is elemental hit has terrible damage effectiveness and relies on the huge added flat damage, which makes paradoxica almost impossible to beat for raw damage. I think the inversion idea is decently strong though, you probably just need to play smite or double strike or something...

I don't think you'd need to do the southbound thing outside actual ubers. The damage on a normal setup is gonna be more than enough for mapping and probably even normal pinnacles. I agree slayer is the much easier start. I'm trying to do this with a Rakiata's right now using all 4 purities +...

Did you go slayer? I've been messing around with different ele hit setups and can't decide what ascendancy I actually want. Slayer seems like the most straight forward for sure, but I think campion with big fortify stacking is maybe better lategame.

Yea Stormshroud is about as free as full ailment avoidance has ever really been. Ancestral Vision is also really good if you're suppress cause you can combine it with a single shield/boot mod + implicit, but it is often more expensive

No way to get the avoid shock on there no, not without using recombinators and a lot of luck. Best bet is craft a thing you want then use foulborn exalt to hit a big res You can hit 100% shock avoid on a belt though if you need to with stygian + essences and a big roll on an abyssal jewel

Also remember for Tujen if you just straight buy an item for full price (any item) he won't reject any offer on the next purchase, so it lets you pretty aggressively try and lowball him on stuff for a ~50% purchase price.

This is maybe worse than Sanctum was even. You could still clear them playing lacerate or whatever, it just kinda sucked and you needed better relics to do it. It may actually just be impossible for a lot of builds in the hives.

No, if anything it gets worse. Once you get to maps spend your first 5-10 chaos on buying a few grafts that have +25% blood found - it's the only way to even stay close to enough blood to use the sacks you'll find.

I was very behind the times on this FYI. I've only ever played base holy relic and had no idea this version existed that casts at range instead of a nova on the relics themselves: So yea probably play holy relic cause it's damage is utterly absurd.

It gets way way better as you progress as mob density just ramps up. Even still I feel like some skills are gonna struggle hard, because it's still clearing a lot of fuckin mobs in a very short time.
