Right now i have 11% of a map dropping and 50% it's an higher tier one. I'm also one node away from getting to the "hat" and that whole row of +2% higher tier map nodes.

At what level do i have to get in Delve to start seeing yellow maps dropping? I think my issue right now is less about the grinding and more about having to redo content i've already seen to death. If i can use Delve to increase my income of maps it would help a lot just by virtue of being fresh content.

BTW this morning i've decided to clear the roster of Heist maps i had and i don't really like this one. I don't like the fact you have to leave most of the loot behind, and i don't like how dangerous it is for how little reward you get (at least for now).
Again not sure how it works in Ruthless, but Heists let you load up in small items like Rings, Amulets, Jewels, Cluster Jewels, Currency, Fossils, Essences, etc... You can find a bit of everything and a lot of rings and amulets.

The two tips for Heist-
- Before you break the main case to steal the target and trigger lockdown, back track to the entrance and leave. As soon as you leave the dungeon (but not return to Rogue Harbor), all your contraband lose their contraband status so you keep them even if you die. You can also identify any rares that you carried out and leave them on the ground to get more loot when you go back in.

- For survivability, Phasing is a must, as well as a travel skill, Quicksilver and Jade flasks, and if you can an energency Vaal defensive skill like Vaal Discipline or Vaal Skeletons. Just hightail out of there. Also once you are familiar with the dangers of each Heist map you will not die anymore. Heists are far less rippy than high level Crucibles, Harvests, Deliriums, Excavations, etc...

What you mean leave, like port back to town? You can do that without losing the map?

No. When you first take the portal from Rogue Harbor to the Heist map, the portal takes you to a small area outside of the dungeon. If you return to the outside area later, all the contraband loot in your inventory lose their contraband status (they become normal loot).

Ok but if you can't leave that outside area to get back to town (without losing the contract) how does that help.

You can. As long as you haven't triggered lockdown you can leave to rogue harbor and come back, both in contracts and in blueprints.

So I cleared Poorjoys last night with Crook with no issues and the Spellslinger Flame Wall set up is still great, but a couple of build issues that I don't know how to solve:

a) The nerfed Raise Spectres fell off a cliff on T8 maps. They won't be viable going forward without investing in + minion gem level gear, which I would rather not commit to. Any other minion with better survivability on high level maps at skill gem level 20-22?

b) I still get one-shotted by exploding boss corpses, even through 7k ES. Any solution?

c) Have 7 unused passive skill points on my tree, I'm not sure the best place to spend them since I can't tell if I need more dps or ehp going forward. Holy Fire would give me the most dps I think (and also take Instinct), while heading to Templar's Sanctity notable would give me about 1k more ES. Any recommends?

d) Gear wise I'll have about 2 divs once some of my currency sales go through. I'm thinking either Presence of Chayula or a Watcher's Eye. Thoughts?

Something autocasty that consumes corpses? Such as cwdt void sphere.
Last Rites notable would work, although I'd rather just Frost Bomb do deal with Life Regen Soul Eaters :/
Considering how close you are, last rites seems good, especially since you're always going to be cursing. Corpse destruction is really nice qol in general.

Well. I just did Shipyard, ran into that Lightning bitch boss who teleports, she was doubled as well and had life regen as well idk normally or from the map. She couldn't kill me but she wiped away my Spectres and Flame Elemental like ants. Anyway after 15 minutes of trying to chip away at them, I decided fuck it and spent my passive points on Last Rites and Holy Fire. Christ I melted her like hot wax after that. Should have done this upgrade last week. DPS really is king in POE.

It's a pretty concise video, so no tl;dw. I found it a very good summary to prepare for the upcoming reveals this week. I've been playing a lot of other games lately (Zelda and Crusader Kings mostly) and the new PoE hype feels very refreshing. Only 4 more days!

7k ain't shit. Get Spell Suppression capped or at least 50% and the "chance to suppress is lucky" mastery. Run Anime Guardian with a Kingmaker, it's much easier to obtain this league. Jinxed Juju is an amulet that lets your Spectres tank some of the damage from hits for you. You should always be casting one of your Offerings for the effect, that will also get rid of corpses periodically.

Get Spell Suppression/see above.

Get a 6-Link > improve your ES pieces > improve your wand > get lvl21 gems

More like your build had so little in terms of dps that two passives were able to significantly improve it. If damage was truly king in PoE, then Righteous Fire wouldn't be such a popular build every god damn league.

I think the problem is that I took the 25% damage reduction, +25% enemy life notable on the Atlas tree. Didn't expect it to scale boss life regen and boss explosion like that.

I would only take that Keystone when trying to level to 100 in t16s. If you're dying too much before t14s, then I'd first try to solve the problem via gear and passives.

All speculation on POE2 don't make sense considering it is 4 years later. POE2 might as well as be complete 180 on what they announced earlier. POE mobile also was announced back then and for 4 years also nothing.

At this point I fully expect them to lie flat on ground before "community" and do just new classes with old gameplay and maybe sockets revision + graphics.

The way you approach PoE is so alien to everybody else I have ever spoken to, that if you say shit like that, then it is more of an endorsement. Speculation is F U N. A concept that has proven elusive to your autistic nigga azz.

There was little info on PoE2, because building up hype is one of GGG's strong suits. The community loves it and GGG loves giving it to them. GGG is also pretty good at not leaking shit. Unlike many western studios. This is what the gaming world used to be like.

Maybe you forgot, but PoE2 was designed to compete with D4. If you think that they have nothing to show for this friday, then you're a blackpill retard edgelord spouting blackpill shit, because it's your identity, not because you arrived at the conclusion via logic and facts.

I'm accusing him of being a killjoy party pooper.

Hard to have hope when GGG proves every expansion that their vision is not shared by "community" and they do 180 on everything they try to redo or rebalance game as they see shit state it is in.

Already you can see hordes of people who complain that they do not want POE2 presented 4 years ago. Recent trailers too. Ton of people arguing they don't want to play game, they want to zoom screens.

In the end GGG is not indie dev anymore and chinese aren't investing in shit if it doesn't bring money.

Why the fuck do you care about the community? Didn't you "enjoy" Ruthless? You're advocating for a position which you have zero stake in yourself. What you want the game to be only 20 other people would like as well.

You've been bitching and moaning about packsize being way too high for years in this thread and NOW you lose hope? After these trailers? Nigga, stfu.

I did enjoy ruthless. It is clearly step into right direction to salvage game.

Thing is that GGG doesn't have backbone. They have their numbers and they grow themselves whiny community that wants to play different game than GGG wants to make.

The moment they see 30-40% going away from season all red alarms fire away at GGG and they are pulling level called "180" and "oh and by the way here is crucible to give you best power ever ! Come back"
