It's the worst league for Rog since Rog showed up. Currency Midget is your friend now.

What's crazy is it could've been the best with async trade. I mean, early it wasn't bad. People hadn't flooded the market with 5x T1 crafts from genesis yet so I made like a good 10d. And I rather enjoy Rog crafting for money.
Question: The beast crafts that say "Can't be consumed" I can't seem to search for them on trade to see the markup to put on them. I'm guessing like an extra 10-20% depending on the roll?

There's zero markup. Right now 51c gets you a 0%, 10%, 20%, or 40%. Was the same several days ago when I bought mine too.

Well my crafting woes just continue. I'm not the best crafter but I do it every league and can usually save anywhere from 5-20+ divine on a craft. However this league I'm barely breaking even if not in the hole cause of my absolute shit luck with essences. After a few hundred essence get 2 T1s on a pneumatic dagger and some extra phys damage. I was like, why not its free real estate. Little did I know hits can't be evaded is a prefix and didn't realize until I had crafted multi mod on there.
Tried to salvage and bricked the dagger.

Got a block chance red nightmare from a breach hive coffer and finally got a semi jackpot.
2 voidstones deep so far and POB shows 1.1 mil dps give or take. My tree is mostly Fubguns ele hit, but I had to devoate a bit to take the +30 str and int nodes to get the attribites I needed.
Have purity of elements / anger, and I can also use precision with like 120 mana unreserved but POB doesnt show it increasing anything. Shouldn't my crit chance improve and therefore DPS? Mayve I'm doing something wrong....
Level 93 and still haven't seen a single div drop and maybe 2 raw exalts, lol.
Edit: few maps later got a duped brothers gift for 10 more div, bout fucking time!

OK last beast question I promise. I thought they had changed the way that beasts get overwritten on a full menagerie but can't find any changes in the wiki. Does it act as First In First Out or is it still random which ones get overwritten? Does that mean I have to clear my beasts of useless crafts every now and then and if so what's the best way of doing it? I've been going in with a full inventory of alts or whatever and ctrl clicking a regex of useless beasts and even that takes a good 5 minutes of just holding shit down.

Been having a lot of fun loosely inspired by this guy:
My primary intent is to showcase just how retarded melee strikes can get with proper investment. I'm currently playing with 3.9m weapon strike range(probably overkill), Sione's Ambition(extra strike targeting out to 4.9m) and an aoe splash with a radius of 3.7m. It feels a lot like chain pops such that you swing just about anywhere and large swaths of the screen turns into herald effects. Which is a waste of reservation but it does accentuate just how much of the screen you can cover with a "swing". If you've played Boneshatter, it's similar but I want to say better, but I also never juiced Boneshatter to this level. Katabasis was also similar before they gutted it.
Small gripes:

Small gripes:
- ramping up rage, frenzy charges, power charges, and all elemental ailments on a target can take a while.
- There needs to be more avenues for scaling "extra strike targeting range". I don't know why they removed it from attack mastery. It's essentially a required anoint for any melee strike build. They need to remove the passive and add it to like 5+ other places. Weapon strike range and AoE are in a better spot.
- I'm kinda annoyed I could fit a useless herald. My next gear upgrades will eliminate Purity of Elements and I wish I had more impactful auras in which to replace it.

Sotting around 1.8 mil dps in POB, think I'm good to get my last 2 voidstones? I finished Eagon's questline and did pretty decent damage to the essence of dread or whatever the final boss was called.
Picking up the roses was kinda gay but the fight wasnt too bad - reminded me of POE2 arbiter a bit. Still pretty squishy but I have 76 ele res and using purity of elements for 100% ailment immune.
I know I can pay for a carry but want this league to be the first where I get all 4 myself.....eater was pretty easy as I was comfortable with the fight, but exarch ball phase kills me as soon as they start to speed up.

Maven's actually really easy, even if your damage isnt that great, as long as you can get her down to 0 with 6 portals in the last phase, the first couple phases are nothing.
elder/shaper is even easier, as long as you dont die to a single ball touching you, just keep moving so the beam doesn't nail you.
there is no exp loss anymore, so it only costs you the cost of the maven invitation and the fragments. Just give it a try and you can gauge for yourself how close or how far away you are from the dps checks.

Yeah I know the fights pretty well just suck at the maven memory bullshit, will probably give a few attempts tomorrow. First one isn't bad but the last phase gets me every time.
Just dont have a ton of currency so didn't want to waste any.

Ya I need to bump up my KB dps to finish out the preliminary Eagon/Searing/Eater/Maven fights so I can start doing map strats. Have about 6 div in currency, bought a decent wand for 1 div but not sure where to go to next. Maybe a shield with higher spell damage? I also have a ring slot that needs an upgrade. Look for flat phys and lightning?

Anyone got some Sanctum tips? I thought I hated it after being forced to do it to ascend in PoE2, but it appears that you can never hate it enough.
Still playing Holy Relic because I don't even want to think about swapping to anything else after seeing the absurd amount of QOL stuff this build has compared to just about anything else I've played in any league...... but I need to swap a couple ascendancy points into Lycia if I'm going to do enough dps to kill the harder fights. After how easy the PoE2 version gets with a solid build, I expected Sanctum to be a cakewalk but it's not. You have fuck-all for resolve, relics are retarded expensive on trade and don't have remotely close to the same effect they do in PoE2, and the sanctum itself seems way more punishing with everything from ranged attackers being everywhere to just the amount of negative effects that pile up even after just the first couple floors.
So how do I beat this shit without spending a stupid amount of currency (that I don't have anyway after buying the gear I'll swap in after I get the Lycia bloodline)? I've watched some youtube stuff but they're all about penance brand which is as useless as someone who's never done uber lab before watching a lab speed runner's guide.
Also, just to confirm -- I have to use an i83 book in order to get the bloodline, right?

Its been a few leagues but I think it's all about inspiration. TBH I forget why (maybe it refreshes every floor? or it interacts with boons better). I just remember once I had a solid amount of inspiration sanctum became much easier. Where as in POE2 its all about resolve mitigation.

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 increased defenses from a shield. I think in a world where it wasn't a t1 unique and worth several divines based on disenchant value alone it would be a very strong leaguestart option though.
How did you end up liking no multistrike? I know ele hit is weird with it and will pick the same element for all the repeats and makes equilibrium weird, but even still I would have assumed the gem was simply too much raw power not to use.
I agree the aura options aren't spectacular, but given the pathing I think it's probably an iron reflexes+determination angle rather than some dumbass herald. You'd have to use a timeless jewel in the more expensive ranger start area, but it wouldn't be too hard to slot in determ and end up in the ~30k armor range to make phys hits a lot more comfy in situations where endurance charges are down.

This is with 2, L95 and 1, L97. If you don't run boxes it's so sad even with juiced T16.5/T17s.
But I have made like ~200D in random ass frags, valdos, scarabs etc, but it's so boring without all the good tinks ;[
I'm ready for the POE2 update to drop at this point. No builds feel worth fucking around with at this point even with a big budget.
