Necromancer only got a glancing blow, surprising.

Then again, they may have completely nerfed most of the build enabling uniques and skills.

I think most of the nerfs are pretty minor, and there are some buffs. The choices are pretty weird though: Trickster had its defences buffed, even though they were already super strong. Raider got its damage nerfed (probably), even though it was already low.

I don't think necromancers losing 20-50% inc damage is a particularily huge nerf though, and probably less than it deserves.

Then again, they may have completely nerfed most of the build enabling uniques and skills.

Afaik they nerfed spectres at gem level 20 by 4 monster levels, which is probably pretty big.

Looking at this though, I'll probably do elementalist or inquisitor. Less changes to other ascendancies than I hoped for. Buffs to occultist is nice but it still lacks defensive nodes, so not really a good ascendancy imo.

Yeah just read the manifesto, spectre builds are fucked.

Arguably even worse for normal minion builds that use spectres for support, cos the spectres will be squishy as fuck.

This is not the first time spectre builds are nerfed "into the ground" and yet they always remain top tier. I suspect this is the same.

Is there a reasonable way to acquire https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doedre's_Malevolence in ssf? Seems like no.

This is one of the most common unique drops. You get enough of them to constitute for toilet paper.

You're confusing it with the non-fated version.

Then he is fucked. 2000 hours in poe, never ever heard of them

edit: General rule of playing SSF. Never create builds for future. You only create builds with what you have on hand.

Sure, but at the same time, some uniques really are common enough to be wallpaper, including the base gloves in this case. I don't know of any semi-reliable way to get fated uniques though, which is why I asked.

 

[GrainWetski]

Yeah, you're out of luck with the vast majority of prophecies in SSF including that one.

I might be misremembering, but didn't Heist have a chance to drop fated uniques from certain chests?

It is a feature not a bug. SSF feels nice because you actually feel something when you get actual drop. So if you get build enabling unique drop it feels nice.

• Conqueror-Influenced maps may now experience an invasion by Sirus himself.

The Hall of Grandmasters unique map has been removed from the Atlas.

oh no
anyway...

 

[ArchAngel]

I think I am doing Divine Ire ignite Elementalist. Seems it can reach crazy numbers with conversion and new ignite nodes on Elementalist. Also 4s autorecast of golems is going to be awesome

 

[Tacgnol]

I'm gonna do a skeleton build I think. Nerf bat isn't too bad on Skeleton/Zombie builds, though keeping support spectres alive might be a pain in the ass now.

 

[Jaedar]

I'm super deep in theorycrafting my janky archmage unleash elementalist with golemancy support (it's a lot of "free" inc damage and utility and defense). The trinity support gem looks pretty crazy (50% MOAR damage AND 20% ele pen) since I will be using multiple spells anyway. Might cut archmage and go crit instead.

Edit: can't quite get unleash to work with trinity. Maybe trinity will be next build. Archmage unleash golemancer it is.

 

[GrainWetski]

I'll probably start with either RF or Dom Blow on SSF. 50/50 right now on which one.

I did dom blow ssf guardian a while back, it was very viable. RF seems a bit tricky to get enough life and regen for decent dps (or please post PoB).

This prophecy isn't that rare. There's a divination card that gives prophecies for fated items, also you can farm heist with prophecy rewards.

tried to play minions like 3 l3gues back - they were nerfed back then too ... its shit until you drop like mirrow or two worth of ex on items ... until then you either play low tier maps or resummon shit all the time cos hp values went to shit and without defenses/lvls from items its trahs tier low speed

gave up on minions becouse of that - if you really want something like that look up skelies/phantasm hybrid build - it took no nerfs this go around andd looks solid out of the box

i will prob go for inquis spark/brand again ... solid choice and works with trash items up to low lvl reds so it got some legs on it

lets see if i even manage to play tthis patch since last one trashed my pc and ripped my win to shreds ... optimisation and bug fixing on latest shit coming from ggg is horendous ...

Already uninstalled it when i remembered i will have to again play fucking campaign all over again.

 

[ADL]

Honestly that's why I'm waiting for Path of Exile 2. If I'm gonna run through the campaign each league, might as well play the new stuff.

 

[Perkel]

Grim dawn has buyuble unlocks for rest of characters if you finish campaign on each diff, Diablo 3 instantly has adventure mode, Wolcen same as D3.

Only POE for some fucking reason forces people to play that god damn campaign every time they make new char for last decade. It is not like they don't already have system they can use. It is called Delve and when Delve released you could play since lvl1.

Moreover campaign maps despite being random they are not actually random and after playing several times i know where exactly i need to go to get out of the map. It feels like a fucking work.

It feels like work because you are playing from level 1, and there's a minimal amount of interesting play/build decisions to be made. I wouldn't like playing delve 1 to 70 either. In fact, I think I'd like it less than campaign.
