You find them in the "unusual gems" kind of blueprint/grand heist (theres 5 different kinds of blueprints). With 2-4 wings in each blueprint where you can pick 1 gem (or the gem quality transforming currency) out of 5 in each wing. Considering how many alt gems there are its basically impossible...

You think this is going to be your starter build? It definetly has satisfying damage numbers in the ideal case. Ya i found those hex uniques pretty unnapealing just based of the lack of life/mana etc. Is Doomsday no good compared to ramping doom faster with the hexmaster wheel? So did you find...

No i've never played it. Just saw mathil play it and apparently he considers it a decent starter somehow so i just fiddled around in pob with hexblast archmage a bit. Don't think it's worth putting up with all the awkwardnesses you mentioned though.

Thats a good point. Don't actually know. I imagine for mapping Cinderswallow should do well enough. But i don't excpect the golem will do all too much in the heat of the moment on bosses but nice bonus regen for lab traps or if you can run away for a bit, stuff like that. I messed around in...

thinking about elementalist arma brand ignite. Probably worse than cold dot slinger but i don't wanna play cold dot again. Needs cluster jewels but nothing too hard to get. And it should level pretty smooth, atleast arma brand felt pretty good when i used it for a while on a chieftan in delve...

trinity do you mean Trinity support? Deal A elemental damage, get "resonance" for B and C then cast B or C to build up the missing A "resonance". Because it counts the lowest "resonance" value to determine the amount of damage it gives you need to deal 2 different kinds of elemental damage to...

My version was CI and not LL though. Benefits that i can remember influencing my decision being: ES on block shield with much more ES aswell and perhaps some damage mod chaos immune so less resist pressure Less socket pressure too without 3 extra auras in the shield (i found the socket...

I noticed that too was funny for sure. I was thinking spellslinger cause you get to double dip but i confess i have no idea if spellslinger got too nerfed to be worth it even with this. It's actually a system i think could be really good. It kind of reminds me of delirium a bit in that you can...

Like usual all the item, class and skill changes gets me really hyped. And i don't really want to complain but the system creep gets me down. eg. watchstones primarily but also heist rogue levels and gear, unveiling etc, and now the new atlas ascendancy stuff looks like it could be annoying...

I have an inkling we're gonna be farming 1 of each breach, harvest, abyss and delve fragment to fight the new uber boss.

This is the pob for my heist league cold dot occultist. Its a bit more tanky than is neccessary for softcore though but i made it that way to heist with and i made other faster characters after this one anyway so i hardly played it after week 1 for normal mapping.

I would strongly reccomend anyone to do spellslinger cold dot over non-sling. It's just so much smoother to play in maps. I wish i knew just how big the QoL difference was when i started Heist as cold dot occultist. Most fundamentally it's cause you can blanket your run path in vortex aoes...

Considering you don't have to/can't split your attention anywhere else, like maps, i'd imagine it's pretty easy to go deeper than you'd do in a normal league. i usually end up atleast 400 deep whitout trying and i feel even at that middling depth you want corpse removal. ugh i hope the choices...

I will definetly check out endless delve. Not sure about the other two. Don't know whats best to play though. Feels like you'd want either Glad explosions or freeze shatters just to handle corpses cause no expode chest. But it's not that realistic to get an elder axe for the bleedmod in a...

Finally!!!

afaik you can only use softcore/hardcore of either the current league or standard for your private league.

So if that's the true reason it feels like a real beta move honestly. But i find it more likely thats just an excuse and they just need a month to get out of whatever hole covid dug for them. Alltough if it means they can shift all future expansion developement to finish 1 month early to leave...

Mostly that the pace, challenge and goal is different from normal poe. 40% monster life and no rare drops (and for me the fact it's hardcore) brings the pace down alot and ups the challenge. And the goal changed for me from a "currency farm faster than other people to get x gear because...

Anyone else here trying out quin's ethical league? I'm not taking it very seriously, playing viper strike, but its pretty fun even though i haven't even gotten to maps yet. First time i died to a ghosted arakaali (act 7) that i foolishly tried to fight, and a 2nd time to Doedre in act 8 sewers...

I think i heard you can target farm corruption chamber in quarry because there are fewer room types at that level. And you can pay attention to the load screen timer and that supposedly can clue you in if you have an alva spawn (more assets, ie. alva on the map takes longer to load). I've never...

Nice writeup. I'll just add that what i've noticed is that the door camper mobs don't seem to lock on to you and i've never had any issues if i teleport into the group because their first attack is still aimed at the door opening basically. Alltough i made my cold dot occultist be a bit more of...

Harvest should be an outlier i'd think beacuse explode chests with T1 life and crit and whatever were super easy to get. In delirium they were around 10ex i think. Alltough looking it up they were around 5 in metamorph so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hope they do something so not every league is delirium...

Any idea why exalts are worth so little this league? And fuck do i miss harvest crafting.

Is there a list of all the available enchantments?

So the reason my mercs couldnt get to level 4 was that they have specialties apparently. Except Huck, which is the jack of all trades. i was just unfortunate in which mercs i assigned to what mission.

Anyone else with their mercs stuck at level 3 and 99.99% xp? I don't know if it's intended and i'm just not doing something i should be doing or if it's bugged. But running random heist doesnt do anything. Do i need a grand heist?

You can push your /hideout macro don't have to log out. But yes heist is a big mess even if i've been lucky and haven't had any big issues myself. Crashed on zone in once, and once the door to get to the curio display wouldn't open in like 30 heists i would say.

Just having ziz on in the background...The new skills are apparently not the greatest putting it mildly

Glancing blows actually feels pretty underwhelming when you can use a rumi and get to like 50% block/mitigation or mitigate 0,35 dmg * 75% block = 26,25...Unless you're a trickster with ES on block. from 3k to 50k in queue i hope it was worth it

Queue is UP

Going vortex/cold snap occultist to start league with...Will try salvo and lance while leveling though and i definetly have other builds/skills i want to try out this league. GL everyone for league start

I wanna use asenath chant helm in about all my future bow builds heh. Dunno if it's totally worthwhile though over other helmet options but free flamewall, frost shields, sigils and void sphere's (or just a curse or whatever) just appeal to me atm. I always end up wanting to play the new skill...

Like said Impale, brutality and vicious are the only great supports. I assume if you hit mob A only mobs B and C can take damage from the explosion so i don't think conc effect would help much at all on bosses, if it does you'd have 5 good links atleast. Thinking about it you'd probably want to...

Shattering steel numbers look sick, basically better than double strike numbers with an extra 200% more like wth...but trying to map something out in PoB..what can i say, it's not a melee ability, so you're SOL for so many gems and passives, so atleast for me i couldn't find a way to make it...

So i obviously haven't tried it out yet so it's up to testing but I imagine fireball will have a different and perhaps more widespread clear and you also have rolling flames jewel for scorched with up to -30% elemental resistances (like a fire pen with extra fireball hehe) while blazing salvo...

Had been eyeing Archmage Ball lightning and cold dot spellslinger for league starters so i need to have a think about spellslinging and see the patchnotes now for the BL nerfs, how much less the aoe is and if they nerfed damage effectiveness or just base damage which doesnt matter for archmage...

Crackling lance looks visually amazing. Should probably play a bit like Divine ire i'm guessing...Divine ire single target have to stay still and charge up while crackling lance has to stand still and spam casts.

Atlas Guide – BalorMage Found this on reddit, and remember there were some questions about atlast progression some time ago. It's well written and very methodical and i'll definetly be using it over my usual haphazard way for next league.

Hes obviously a god gamer like you can see here

At a minimum i'd like to keep these few things from harvest. fracturing and synthesising, they come at a cost of no influence so they're situational even if theres a few pieces for certain builds where thats not much of an issue (like phys weapons just to name one). Just add 2 new beasts imo...
