Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

[sebas]

Aight beat Arbiter, Zarokh and Xesht, that's enough for me. The fights took less than 10 seconds and I don't even have great gear, gemling+howa is just beyond broken. But then balance is so screwed I don't know how many patches it'll take them to fix it.

Let's see what next big update brings.

 

[Jermu]

not surprising that the most meta build is broken


I calculated how much currency I got from the past 50 maps and it ended up being about 2.5 div each map (excluding "burn" maps I used so some areas wont roll tablet area)

12 divine runes, then around 1600 chaos/exalted orbs. rest from rares the most expensive one sold for 40 divines (es helm)

then bossing mats I got from those and ran em ended up selling for 180 divines but since that has too much rng I did not calculate em into 2.5 div each map number

but overall profit from 50 maps + bosses was approximately 300 divine orbs~ (213% base rarity from shield)

at this point the money you can generate from bossing + maps is pretty minimal compared to flipping items or crafting but that would be tedious


anyways think I just wait for 1 unique jewel comes up for sale and call it quits, I test how I can handle poe1 ssf blind after it (last time I played poe1 was alpha or beta don't recall anymore)

For PoE1 just wait for next PoE1 league when there will be new mechanics as well.

Corpsewade is cool. Though you need a high ilvel set of the boots. :/

not an issue as i own ones with lvl18 gem.

Poison cloud applies a single poison stack, unless the enemy enters another cloud (or probably when reentering the same one, not sure about that)

Max number of poison does not change how many poisons are applied per cloud.

just saw some vid of a pathfinder applying 10 stacks, dunno if it was due to overlap of clouds though


sigh... once I get enough money to spec out of boney witch I will use it to spice my ED setup? Or perhaps its time to roll ranger again... although those boots require lvl78 so im not sure if i want to go that route

I did warn you Bone spells are bad :D
Are you at least using DD for mapping? It is decent at that once you use BoneStorm to kill first enemy so you have one corpse

Of course pure DD is best "physical" spell but you need to switch to using Sacrifice and focusing into minion health only (and you use Brutes as they seem to have best base life). Also having access to the unique shield that gives bonus damage per 10 spirit is also very useful

I'm not planning on pushing poe1 as hard as poe2 just doing base campaign and some mapping so I get some grasp for it before next league. last time I played there were only 3 acts I think I don't remember. but I checked wiki about spark history and think I quit at around 0.1 version

also who knows when next league comes seen some doom posting about it in reddit

yes, actually my setup was with bone cage to enable dd, storm only against bosses. What I hated most about bonez is that mana consumption is higher than spark. Unless you roll with DD of course. If mana allowed Id actually keep spamming cage.

anyway i acquired enough cash to switch back to chaos, although im still quite a bit behind. I need 6k gold per small node and had bright ideas like reaching pain attunement...

anyway... I've put the boots on and this is beyond ridicolous

how does poison cloud work? If I have corpsewade and enemy stands in poison cloud, then I increase max number of poisons -> are they poisoned once? twice?

silly me, i forgot that i use contagion. Enemies are at max stacks(3) immediately. Got snakebite, so far didnt decide to go with them too.

tried to test enemy entering single cloud. It seemed to gain stacks every 0.2s while moving in it.

Decompose is not in conflict with any of my skills for supports. Poison +1 nodes are next to chaos +1 too.
It... melts. area lvl80 rares sometimes enter my clouds and I dont notice until a bunch of items drop.
Ive removed chain from ED, its no longer needed.
I no longer need mana, need to rethink my tree.

map clearing speed is insane, didnt think that i can reach such things in ssf.

letting go of 35% movement boots is hard
I'll let you know how my skellies fare with sacrifice on

If you do not need mana use it for defense by using MOM.

My character is also now melting T15 maps even with mods and modifiers on atlas. But still no lvl 19 gem dropped, how does one get those? And then lvl 20?! If lvl 19 are not falling on T15, is it possible to get lvl 20 anywhere?
I am not even dying from anything and I got 2200 life and 850 ES. I guess having 14000 evasion (83% evasion) works wonders.. I am not even sure if I need Sorcery War afterall.. I assumed I would by dying in T13, T14, T15 maps or something but I have not died for a long while now.

i think each time you drop lvl19 you get a chance to get lvl20 depending on enemy drop lvl.
You can get them reliably ilvl81, I think. Even lower against boosted bosses

You have to run "juiced" T15 maps, rather than just T15. Not that I got any lvl 20 gems yet, but at least lvl 19 gems seem easy enough to get this way.

With juiced I mean that you have to look for corrupted, irradiated maps to place your T15 waystone in, as this can give you +2 monster level.
Ideally, pick maps that have lots of rares, because those drop higher ilevels.

 

[Jermu]

lvl 20 gems require ilevel 82 so tier 16 map + 1 + 1 (irradiated + corrupted events), lucky drop from higher level elite or pinnacle area (I found 1 in delirium boss area)
I have sold like 10 of those price is quite cheap now about 130 exalted~

you can also vaal gems

 

[Israfael]

you can also vaal gems

I've done this four times, no luck yet. Also, no drop with several dozens of t16+2 maps, probably I'm that unlucky

. but I checked wiki about spark history

Ironically local archmage variety (ice nova of frostbolts) is probably the smoothest league starter and it also has good scaling (currently my char has 100+m dps in ssf, can get to 110m+ if one power rune drops and I can swap wands)

I've done a bunch of juiced t15 maps and still zero lvl 19 gem drops.. and I took the nodes that put more rares into maps.

Well... bad luck, possibly.

Or GGG does something weird with drop arithmetic that we haven't figured out yet. :/
Like +X% rarity decreasing drop chance of gems. Who knows. The character I run currently has only +10% rarity. Maybe we need negative rarity to drop lvl 20s?

god gamer chaos Elon has conquered death and is back

done with poe2 for now, my sorc has pretty much hero editor gear (every upgrade would cost over mirror) and happy with the build. I do 1 more video later about bosses + map with archmage for future reference so I can look back and see how shit I was

started poe1 ssf, not having wasd movement takes a while to get used to. taking it slowly reading everything and trying not to die (act 2 done no rips so far)

 

[lukaszek]

god gamer chaos Elon has conquered death and is back

its just trolling at that point. Wonder how much coming back to life cost? They should totally sell it in shop...

I finally did 4th Ascendancy yesterday. Funny out of 4 characters this is only one that also did 3rd ascendancy.. that is how the gap is big between skills and between trade and SSF.
Final fight was easy with this character, it was harder to reach it, did it on 3rd try. I did stupid mistakes on first two attempts (one I took the penalty that you lose 5% of life, ES and mana per hit which I assumed should be OK since I got 83% dodge but in one of the survive for X seconds trials I suddenly died in 1s before I figured out what was going on lol and I am still not sure what killed me).
Now I need to try to fight breach boss, tower guardians (I probably will not fight arbiter as doing it with a controller is a big no no) and if I feel like doing 3 Trials of Chaos to get 3 keys the last boss of that shit.
Unless I get bored before that, when you have a character like this game is boring.
Galvanic Shards + Herald of Lighting just clears maps too fast and it is too good. And this is with 1 divine crossbow, I do not even feel like I need an upgrade.

I respeced into Sorceror's Ward , lost half my evasion (from 14000+ to almost 8000), char screen still says 72% dodge but gained 3700 elemental shield that absorbs elemental damage and 45% of physical to elemental. So now only chaos damage presents any real danger but I got 50% chaos res so not really. I am not even using Grim Ward, using the other one that gives me 5% of evasion as ES when I get hit, so it gives me 400 es back which is good since my ES is only 900)
