Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[Baron Dupek]

I don't really care for the EXTREME DIFFICULTY NG+100 XxXTREME DANTE MUST DIE difficulty modes, I just want to summon a large blob of minions and throw them at my enemies to murder them with. How far can I get into this game with such a character?

There's some YT channel doing "zoo mancer" build guide, maybe he got something?
I've used to play Mage Skeleton summoner and that was the only summoner/necro build (beside Diablo1 mods and Nox) where it was fun for me.
Not sure how Skelemage build is doing these days after some changes...

Every time a necro fan asks about PoE I usually show them that this is an achievement and they're pretty much sold.

But really, it's also got a lot of fun minions to play around with. You have your standard zombies, skellies, golems, animated weapons but also more complex things like specters and animated guardians.

wtf is this shit

 

[tritosine2k]

wtf is this shit

good measure of yellow map tier lvl & still ballsy without explode gear.

 

[Peachcurl]

why is that video age restricted?

 

[Reever]

wtf is this shit

>abyss spire spawns more mobs with a projectile
>run more proj on map mods (people used to do the private league modifier for even more loot before GGG disabled it)
>juice the shit out of that map
>get even more juice out of the league mechanic

 

[Saark]

This league is a meme.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Yeah, I got 2 as well, after all those years.
They wanted end the year and PoE with a bang it seems. It's raining currency and items. Some Valdo maps are just free Mageblood for most builds.

 

[Saark]

It's honestly so stupid, I'm surprised this league isnt voided. The amount of raw currency drops you get with full MF gear thanks to AN currency conversion is just ridiculous. When a single rare has the capacity to drop 40+ divine orbs, you know something is seriously messed up.

 

[ADL]

I wish I could ignore these shenanigans and just play SSF Ruthless instead but one of the main Ruthless guys on YouTube quit after breaking down how little league mechanics are present in maps and it's ridiculous. ~8% chance with atlas passives.

Just because I like Ruthless doesn't mean I want to play empty maps. I don't even care about the loot just break up the monotony of mapping.

 

[Baron Dupek]

I was hoping for Goldwyrm or Tabula for my fresh character, but that's fine too...

LoL it dropped while mapping also? LMAO even.

It is roughly 20 divines, so your build is now ready.

 

[Baron Dupek]

New update and...

did they put fucking queue like a month into the league? Or am I trippin' balls...

 

[Cyberarmy]

I think this much currency and item dropping is meant for new Valdo map voids. They drop life flies either for promoting shit, for lulz or underestimating the maps. Last night a group of for died in seconds which was really lulz worthy for general chat.

Some dude also voided a 15 mirror worth of character. So those balance out themselves a bit, I guess.

Meahwhile I can do some absurd shit thanks to all those currency and raw drops. Got a six linked non corrupt Lightning Coil and Kalandara's touch this weekend from Vaal temple. And made a new RF chieftain just for the my leisure.

Grunker It is still possible to level as RF, did as a chieftain and didn't got many levelling gear, except Goldrim and Lifespring which didn't helped much. At level 17-18, getting the fire res.mastery that gives extra regen still enough for maintaining RF alone. Got Searing Bond and Infernal Warcry for supporting it. Levelling was smooth and mapping was even smoother thanks to Chieftains explosions. Monsters die from its explosions can also trigger it, sometimes clearing whole 2 screens, even if they are juiced from the league mechanic.

I think you might just enjoy PoE my friend

Cool new chase unique, starting late pays off for me

the dopamine fiending is unreal, new ARPG might be all about MF at this rate.

that lvled portal gonna to be lit

 

[tritosine2k]

Some portal vaal breach interaction would be funny.

Testing new atlas with delirium hard push, not saw a divine drop but sub 78 ilvl clusters are in yuge demand even late league. I found 3 reservation eff small clusters, also some 5 armor cluster (easiest craft ever for c)...

 

[Israfael]

Valdo map voids.

Whiile people get something useful, i get this gem of a map:

 

[tritosine2k]

Yeah, farming <T12 delirium was way better than losing animate guardian twice at T16( 2x 50c loss, always the same invulnerable totem shit, bone offering would fix it ).. Low ilvl cluster farming with the permanent mirror atlas passive is fun, I'll do this next league, then move to T16 once I have enough vaal orbs to socket a corrupt +2 minion lvl 4link, "fuck bone offering".

They should make this gear loss happen to other builds in trade not just AG so delay T16. Anyway this is good excuse to drop the game until next league.

Good minion leveling is bitterdream animate weapon I won't bother with anything else, I even tried junk like infernal legion skitterbot all junk.. Maybe ok for act 1-2... Then you get bladefall in act3 for animate weapon (ethereal knives doesn't leave "glass shank" to animate anymore).

 

[tritosine2k]

They should make this gear loss happen to other builds in trade not just animate guardian

how about this? It could be even a new crafting modifier, "gear is not lost upon death" , AG has similar from vaal temple (noone uses it because its only applicable to rares). And ofc. you cant do it on unique. Maybe it should be like flask enchant with harvest. But harvest is kinda stuck.

 

[Kjaska]

Id'ed this today and got really hyped to go on a quest to make an armour stacker in ssf. First find a Nimis, then build a KB Wander with it to afk farm Simulacrums for 3p Voices, then build the Armour Stacker. Alas, I have to leave for more than a week in Friday, so the quest is cockblocked by IRL.

I also fond a Mirror and a Kalandra's Lock while MFing in t7s, but didn't do too much of it. Trying to assemble a Cast When Stunned Chieftain right now to be able to farm t16s instead, because I want to skip doing Sanctums for my Sextants. This league is a lot of fun not just because of the MF, but also because of all these new skills, so I'll probably play for a while this time again.

Sadly permanent league is basically the trashbin to GGG and much of the playerbase. I think they could learn from making some middleground between 3 month seasons and the trasbhbin. Was thinking about this a bit, something like having a permanent-permanent league like we currently have, then a separate semi-permanent league that lasts for a year or so and is based on whatever the current/last main expansion was. So everytime you get a new expansion (1~ a year or so, based on their averages), the semi-permanent league gets shifted to the current permanent league. Would allow people more room to "perfect" characters without feeling like it's wasted time on a game mode no one cares about. 3~ months if I really want to completely devour every piece of content in the game fully just isn't enough time for me, especially with the economy dying after 1-2~ months, and then for others even 3~ months is too long.

 

[Baron Dupek]

New league - Necropolis
had that feeling we get another dungeon crawling / tomb raiding

 

[tritosine2k]

Thread name should change, its not majestic incline, but it is one of the few time wasters where you wont get laughed out of the room here if you play it.

I'd laugh at how PoE2 became a convenient excuse to compromise on the "forever game" concept/vision and get away with as little as possible "hey we're saving that for PoE2" xD
crazyyy

practically, I scavenge/play it for dev's missed opportunities.



imagine this video with a new segment "THE CONVENIENT EXCUSE"
xD
