Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[Baron Dupek]

Mana RF lmao
Toxic Rain applying Wither debuff sounds like a good replacement for those fragile withering totems...

 

[Grunker]

Welp, transfigured RF is useless. RF is dead as a starter, long live RF :’(

I'm meta cucking and going LA Deadeye into Tornado shot.

for anyone who wants to have a good League start:



for anyone who wants to be a hipster, but still have a chance at a functional build:

 

[Kjaska]

Any promising interactions with the ascendancy classes that you guys are looking for?

- Poison with elemental weapons without having to rely on the dagger base from Heist
- Bossing on a melee/Cast On Kill build with the new Mark that summons Spectres
- Gladiator/Occultist Pops on any character

 

[ArchAngel]

Hey there GGG buttfucker Kjaska , how does it look inside Wilson's butt hole? Do you still enjoy it as much as your first day?

 

[Jaedar]

or anyone who wants to have a good League start:

if I was going to play this league, I would build my own RF with plague bearer as an bf/bb occultist (hot tip for Grunker). Altho it also has 0 synergy with any of the league ascendancies, so it would be boring.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

People shit on melee, but the best "feel good" skill is still CoC Cyclone with builds that are league starters and can scale to insane boss killing on half a dozen ascendancies. It's more melee than any other skill as you pretty much have to be on top of the mobs/bosses.

It has synergy with the Mark that spawns enemy spectres for bossing, since you could attach a bunch of brands on them that cast Blade Fall around the boss and just spam Blade Blast to put a gajillion of poisons on the boss. It also would have all the synergies every other build gets from the charms Ascendancy. You could get more poison oriented ones from Assassin charms, or more survivability ones from all the others. A charm from Pathfinder could give you better Wither.

I saw branding bladefall, but I don't wanna be brander (it is good synergy though). I saw another one which just used unleash bladefall to build poison stax, and then plague bearer for pseudo RF "just run around and everything dies lul". For single target you just cast bladefall/blast as normal.
I fully expect to find 0 relevant charms in my ssf career.

You only use the brand tech for Pinnacle Bosses.

Yung Rogaine explains the tech for early Atlas progression (don't have to rely on buying maps from others). Very useful even if you're a slow ass nigga:

Got tranny gem change in merc lab, unless I got lucky it isn't as grindy random as I thought it would be, league mechanic seems crap you walk around in total darkness finding I don't even know what guess that's why they give you 30% move speed on boots 1st thing but it's not even close to making it comfortable.

 

[Peachcurl]

The league mechanics main intention is to produce very early spikes in mob-damage and hp-sponginess. It's a tradition.

 

[Mark.L.Joy]

Oh it's overtuned as fuck.

 

[Gerrard]

I started playing the new league, then I was reminded that GGG still hasn't fixed the 20+ second loading times they fucked last league so I Alt+F4'd when entering Mud Flats.

It is even worse, n first hours of the league everyone kept crashing when they tried to return act 1 base.

 

[Mark.L.Joy]

I had 1-3s load times maybe 10 leagues ago, I don't remember which update broke it for me.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Ultimatum is back and got Ritual treatment in terms of rewards - they are garbage. Rares and catalysts. Yawn.
Got objective to defend altair and enemies (those spiders) running away from the arena and regenerating fast.

[lukaszek]

if i wanted to jump into some ssf action, is this new league fun?

 

[Peachcurl]

Seems like I'm doing a build using Artillery Ballista + Flamewood with Chieftain in SSF. The penance mark from affliction may help a bit with that.
It's rather slow and hits a wall in the late game, but I guess the former problem will help me to avoid the latter one.

 

[ADL]

I didn't want to play this league but this Kirac Vault pass is so good I'm logging the hours reluctantly. Are they ever going to make a melee build that isn't Boneshatter Juggernaut viable?

 

[Cyberarmy]

Yeah, rewards are really garbage. Only good for xp which is easy to get nowadays.

It is actually fun, especially now they have nerfed the uber overtuned league content. SSF could be a bit limited though if you want to experience the new gems.

i dont care much.

Anyway im clearing a2 and looks like new ascendancy pick comes early. Im struggling what to get.
I do poisonus flask throwing. Maji seems nice from SSF perspective, but then half of the tree is useless considering that Im not alowed to wield weapon.
warlock is just useless.
Then there is primalist that I cant find and seems to be reliant on rng, especially in ssf case

 

[Cyberarmy]

Maji is good for levelling purposes. Nice move speed from boots and resistances from head, kinda wet dream for SSF.

Warlocks Devour is really good %15 more damage and more damage reduction but kinda manage to eat relevant corpses. Also if you are playing poison pathfinder, the curse with summons you get from warlock is nuts. They die really quick and you can transfer their poisons to bosses.

Primalist has good QoL like extra inv space and more corpse looting but charms are huge RNG, so not good for SSF as you said.
