Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[ArchAngel]

I never played Sanctum so I will have some stuff to try in this league. I just need to find a fun and strong build that requires least amount of trading.

it's ready for 3.22 - I'll go WP asap and get Ritual with Tormented Spirits hopefully
skipping rest of that garbage

I'm a bit mad that they've nerfed ascendancies in ruthless. I thought the point was limiting player power through shittier drops, why would they take away power from the passive skill tree? Are players becoming too powerful through sheer grind? lol

Kripp is playing Ruthless only now and he is still doing too good.

Full stop. No other point.

 

[Gerrard]

Notice that Chieftain is so bad it only has one changed node in Ruthless.

Because there shouldn't be ascendancies in ruthless in first place. I remember when they weren't in POE and no one had any stupid arguments about which ascendacy got nerfed or not. People just played witch/maruder/etc and that was it. Made fire duelist ? cool. Moreover with no ascendacies most of classes were very loose. Meaning gearing Witch into melee build was very viable. With ascendacies in you think about ascendacy first then your build later.

Ascendancies make the game and character building more interesting.

No it pigeonholes builds.

 

[Reever]

It's just a matter of preference. I, personally, don't see anything interesting in going melee witch outside of the challenge of it. On the other side, I did make my RF last league Inquisitor just because of the class fantasy.

Yeah...

Is Trickster any good? I like the Shadow start but none of the Ascendancy classes are appealing.

Help me choose for next league-
- Omachi (Scion/ Ascendant using Dancing Dervish and Lightning spells)
- Rowan Mayfair (Witch/ Necromancer with Reaper)
- Unnamed Shadow/ ???

Also I dropped 2 Igneous Geodes this morning but is it even worth running them?

It is certainly a HUGE problem because game is not designed around SSF (like it should be) but trading is a pain that needs you to learn a seperate game called Trade Simulator.

Agreed. Playing without trading should be viable and enjoyable but instead it's treated like an annoying challenge mode. Chris is probably too stubborn for this but I'd like them to steal Last Epoch's implementation wholesale because it seems like the best of both worlds. Target loot and better drop rates versus access to the bazaar. If they can manage Ruthless, why the hell can't they do this too?

Keep in mind RNG will be cut down considerably once we get bazaar/targeted loot from prophecies. Personally I refuse to trade so I'm very excited for circle of fortune (you can still trade among party members if you find an item while they're grouped with you).

level cap meh

Not sure how are you supposed to scale these when you cannot support them.
I guess 5s of free aura is ok, can it be refreshed all the time or maybe it has a nasty cooldown.
And other one is 10% less damage or something but you need to cast it manually.

 

[ArchAngel]

I might try Guardian summoner this league. Seems Skeleton Mages might be good. But I wonder more how well are his defensive options. Since I will probably play on Xbox again, controllers are bad for targeting with ranged attacks or doing precise dodging :D
I need to be able to survive hits and deal damage without needing to target anything.

Eternal Youth/ Split Personality Tree for Ancestors League:

Will be Rowan Mayfair, Ascendant Necromancer/ Pathfinder. Necro and Flasks make lore sense for Rowan, and she's a blonde in the books.

Thoughts?

Good video for anyone below 1k hours played.

It's decent for Cold DoT and is potentially going to be very strong in the new Sanctum due to the Evasion + Energy Shield mechanics. Trickster is rarely the best Ascendancy choice for any particular build, but looking back at some of your creations I think that the Ascendancy choice is the least of your problems and Trickster is going to be a good fit.

 

[Jaedar]

I have decided to go chieftain rf this league. May the prophet Grunker (pbuh) and his lord Pohx have mercy on my soul. I see that they buffed the jewel thing so now it gives +3 str per node. I wonder how +50 STR compares to 0.5% hp reg and +10% inc fire damage. Hard choices for the BEST ascendency.

Thanks but I've fallen for Scion/ Ascendant this League! I've always wanted to build Eternal Youth and pathing out of Scion island through Templar is just too juicy. Maybe not Split Personalities, it depends on how cheap I can get STR/ Life ones on console trade. Will be some combo of Necro/ Pathfinder/ Hiero. Hiero seems like an ideal fit but if I did Hiero I'd want to play Searing Bond/ Scorching Ray Totems Fire build which is too similar to what I played Crucible League. Also my original Rowan Mayfair build was a Witch (since... she's a witch) but blonde being book lore accurate feelsgoodman.

Sounds jank af, but I'll be the last person to dissuade you from having fun.

Myself, I'm very unprepared this league. GF came by to visit and stalled out my BG3 progress so I'm still in the middle of that.

TBH I loved last balance patch, because it gave you a couple of clear outliers to chose from. Vengeant Cascade let me league start as an archetype I hadn't played in a long ass time. This patch everything seems equally "okay", which just makes my dick soft when choosing. Strongest impulse so far is Cold DoT Elementalist, so you can start contributing early in the new League mechanic with the Bing Chilling.

I do this but elemental+ inpulsa on AG instead of witch+profane bloom it's a bit ghetto until you get echoforge/voidforge, and need 3 curse even until then. Also enough chaos resist on AG to use ancient skull. Voll's headgear on AG works .

!!! IMPORTANT: Use Anomalous Feeding Frenzy. AG is nearly immortal with it

wow I even missed that but used leech lab enchant boots he missed that.

Scion pathfinder can spec out of minions into https://poe.ninja/builds/crucible?allskills=Impending+Doom+Support&uniqueitems=Vixen's+Entrapment,Progenesis,Taste+of+Hate&type=depthsolo (this is why temporal chains got nerfed and vixen's glove is expensive early league easily best in slot minion glove and occultist is better than necromancer).

Grunker league starting as your fav, an RF inquisitor.
