Path of Exile

thanks that’s super helpful. As far as supports I have no idea what is good other than return (and I guess gmp, which I don’t have? But map clear isn’t my issue it’s more bosses so I’d want good supports for single target ). What should I be looking for? It doesn’t help that the merc supports are kinda different and sometimes different named (not sure why they just didn’t use player ones).

I may try enmity , I’ve been burned in the past reselling stuff but it seems like it’s maintaining its value so might give it a shot, esp since I already have untouched soul and I feel like that might get me close to cap on its own

Also is there any where you can see your mercs accuracy rating or do I need to bust out my calculator and just add stuff up? Currently not running precision because don’t really want to reserve my life.1150 accuracy should be obtainable with 2 gear pieces

Just realized also lioneyes is a totally worth investment since as a t0 its value always goes up in league as people want to get dust. Definitely gonna nab that one. Assume then I can ignore accuracy for gear?

You can ignore accuracy with that bow

Return has been the biggest dmg upgrade for me. I spent 10d on a Merc with double return, no icicle rain and the damage is great. I'll need some projects and Pierce on quiver but shouldn't be too hard to craft.

Make sure if you have return that you have atleast 1 pierce if the merc doesnt come with it. Can be crafted on helmet prefix or eater implicit on gloves

Anyone found a good way of price checking mercs fast you come across in maps? I thought I could price check the contract at least but no go.

What else on gloves for many shot merc if don’t need acc? Attk speed ya? Anything else worthwhile ?

Pierce, curse on hit, ailment proliferation implicit may have some merit

These are the gloves i made for my merc.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!

Wow those are nice. Why the abyssal socket, tecrods? Did you craft those using all flame + resonators?

Made it to 100/100 with wild strike and managed to get the bottom left voidstone from the quest eater and exarch (had to do exarch twice, first time he did like 9 ball phases and I don't survive most of them, ever). Tried Maven once but fuck even attempting that again on wild strike, especially without being super geared. T16s are hit or miss, some of the maps I can breeze through, some of them I just get absolutely fucking rolled. Did most of my atlas clearing with twist of fate and stuff, so i'm sure that didn't really help much but when I say rolled I mean I had some maps where I couldn't get past the first packs because they'd 1shot me when I got within 2 screens of them (goat casters, specifically were the biggest culprits, fire OR lightning).

Bought an awakened multistrike to see if it'd help my dps some, had virtually no noticeable impact so immediately resold it. Have 13div or so, probably gonna level an ED char since I do enjoy some casual ed/contagion mapping and if it can't handle non-uber bosses and stuff, i'm sure I can reroll a witch into something that can easily enough once I have a little more currency.

Yes for tecrods...plus, abyss jewels can on their own provide a big chunk of your mercs attack speed.
Slap a Hollow fossil onto the gloves then -> allflame the fracturing orb is what i did(but compare the cost of fracturing orb+hollow fossil vs the 100k+ cost of allflame sulphur at the time you potentionally craft this)
Worth to mention that if you want lifesteal enchant (i reccomend it atleast) on the gloves they need to be a base with armor.

Well that Hinekora's Lock allowed me to put some Divs into my WOrb build. With new boots, a 2 skill wand, and a cluster, the dps is pretty great.

I want to use a +skill amulet, but this thing that dropped in the ocean was the easiest way to get chaos resists maxxed in my life without having to fuck around with every piece of gear:

Announcing on the 2nd there will be a stream on the 4th (now later today) where we'll be told we'll get more information in a couple of days is not ideal but I'm still interested in seeing what they have to say.

Basically juicing sucks this league I guess. However casual Andys like myself enjoying the low investment consistent strats just fine.
