Path of Exile
-
Didn't play a lot over the weekend, but I managed to ascend with my crit ranger, get to 38, and reach act 4. It works way better than the shadow did. Automatic frenzy charges are amazing. Currently also using blade vortex, since that'll kill things that get close. Enjoying this build massively.
-
Just finished cruel act 2, at level 49. Smooth sailing here. Still considering going back to lesser multiple projectiles on that shrapnel shot - I don't feel like I'm getting my worth out of greater's mana cost.
Had some other reconfigurations in the gem list too (new gear) but I don't know how to create a profile link and I can't be bothered to copy it out again.

Greater really loses you a lot of dps. Lots of people will use lesser + chain for groups instead because of how the bouncing works, which also lets you deal with enemies around corners better.

We met Zana yesterday, and so everything is awesome now. But her maps are evil.
-
so i completed normal.
using this build (as far as possible, that is ):
Can i share my current gear somehow ?

@swayde said in Path of Exile:
I do feel quite underpowered (level 43 - no orange items). Do i really need to create 4-5-6L weapons ?
Can i share my current gear somehow ?5 and 6 will increase your damage substantially. If you're using Hatred, that should help a lot, since it affects bladefall.
I have a quill rain, if you need it, but it's only got 3 sockets and cant have more.I'm basically going the same build, but with daggers and spectral throw. It's worse, because I need an extra socket for GMP, but I have a tabula rasa to make it work. But I'm even going for the same ascendency.
You might be able to link items if you click on them in your inventory on the website, but that feature may only work on their site.

@swayde
You don't really need orange items - most of them are actually either utter garbage, or have some very niche uses that make them necessary for certain builds but worse than a good rare (yellow) item for most others.Regarding sharing items: you can't link items (outside the game's forums, anyway, I think), but you can link your character sheet which allows others to see your current gear and gem setup as well as your stash contents.

Btw, @Magus, invite me to the guild too if you want (account name and one character name is in the above post). I don't have much time to play right now, but I don't think there's any significantly low limit for guild members anyway so eh.

I need to get up to four on anything not armor. I'll aim or that. Right now everything is quite a bit too slow.

I'm using neither, i'm using herald of cold, blast rain, lightening arrow and 5-arrow (whatever it's called), ice golem and grace, which i kinda don't need, but i don't need the mana either.

I've done this 15 times, they don't seem to think i'm a human. Oh well, i'll try some other time.
Thanks for the guide anyways :)

I'm trying to log in with my steam account. It's not going well. And i've even stopped trying to log in with the email associated with my steam account, and i'm instead using the username (as it told me to do). ^\(-_-)/^

Done.

Apart from 2h weapons, chests, and bows, 4 is the max. Once you befriend Vorici and get him in your hideout, 4L is easy.

The thing is, herald of cold adds a base cold damage to skills, but hatred adds 20% of phys as cold, so it scales really well.

Yesterday one of my other friends actually played again a bit. So I made a new ranger, for a cyclone-cast-blade-vortex-on-crit build (Might go righteous fire too!) and caught up, and we finished act 1 and 2. My other friend is working on a lightning archer (eventually chaos if he can get his hands on a Voltaxic Rift), which worked well.
-
Wish me luck, I'm gonna go try today's merciless Labyrinth. I'll try Argus too, apparently he's in room 1 so I'm hoping I can get the challenge done.
-
OK, well, Argus is dead. That was fast... and close, I had to kite him halfway around the map and I had no flasks left.
-
I'm working my way through act 3 cruel. I think I need more defence.
-
@PleegWat said in Path of Exile:

Always true. I don't think anyone can ever survive if Kole's corpse is detonated on them.
-
@Magus Currently going for Celerity. After that, I'm thinking Nullification, though of course the energy shield won't do much for me. Reflexes looks good too, though it's a bit further away. Blood drinker looks interesting as well.
-
Fuck yeah, first try!
-
@blek weird. Someone is jealous?

@Magus Probably a forum glitch, I see all my recent posts here upvoted and the number of names on mouseover matches the number of upvotes.
-
@blek Most likely :D Just thought it was funny.
-
Also by the way, I love how Zana's missions can roll unique maps, too. Today I got Poorjoy's Asylum, I've never been there before and that map is ridiculous. Good thing the mission was one of the easiest (just kill the boss), not one of the time trials or "you only get one portal, don't die" ones, because I died 5 or 6 times :)
-
I've found my fourth "The Carrion Crow", and now the stack count turned blue. What do I win?
-
@blek we got a demon disco once!
-
@PleegWat give it to tasuni
-
@Magus He gave me a crappy magic armour (181 armour/evasion, +39 life, 1 blue socket).
-
@PleegWat It does what it says on the tin: blue armor with a life mod. Could be anything. It's good if you have augmentations and regals to spare. So never, basically.
But it's better than Turn the Other Cheek...
-
@PleegWat Go to the meditating guy in the Act 4 town (under the stairs) and give them to him - you'll see.
-
@Magus Demon Disco? :-D
-
@blek It's a famous combination of mods that gives the highest quantity: monsters gain at least one of each kind of charge every 10 seconds, and area is inhabited by demons. Ours had 3 endurance charges and 1 of the others. Wasn't too high level though.
-
@Magus Heh, sounds fun. I should brush up on my meta terminology I guess.
Also, update: I decided to farm Solaris 1 for a bit (I do that whenever I'm close to leveling up - it's a great spot to farm coins and Cadiro encounters so I do it till the next level). I also have a low-level alt that uses Earthquake, but I don't really play him because I got bored leveling and crit Ball Lightning is way better. And just now I got a 2H hammer... I got all excited and stuff, thinking it was Marohi Erqi, which is absolutely crazy with Earthquake due to the increased AOE mod, and if I had that I'd definitely give the Earthquake duelist another go... and nope, it's a goddamn Geofri's Baptism. Boo.
-
@blek I found a Varunastra btw
-
@Magus Nice. I've been wanting to get one of these.
-
@blek Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. But I know it'll involve adder's touch.
-
Heh, today's mapping session started pretty cool. I failed a Zana mission (time limits in Dungeon, with "map contains patches of tar" on top, ugh), but then I went to a normal map and the first mob pack dropped a Voltaxic. Pretty good roll - 1-319 damage (can roll from 1-275 to 1-325) and 13% increased attack speed (can be 10-15). I might end up trying out that super OP chaos sparker build after all.
-
Meh, I've been thinking about starting a character in the pendarus league. Anybody want to play hardcore?

How does anyone kill Malachai without dying a zillion times?

@PleegWat said in Path of Exile:

IDK, even with my crazy 3.5k IR Paul Bunyan, he could still 1shot me. We ascended merciless though, so I have permanent fortify now. Might be better? But it's bad.
-
@Magus Well I killed him after about 20 deaths. But presumably there's people out there who play merciless hardcore.
-
@PleegWat We thought, 'well, we're level 77 and have our merciless ascensions, lets see how atziri's area is'
'hmm, its only level 70... and these mobs are easy? must get harder if we've been warned that its hard at 80'
'hold on, is that an apex? hold on, is that two apexes?'
-things-
'well, those were the last portals, at least the enemies are still easy'
'this room looks cool... wait is that a cyc-' ded
So yeah, later.
-
@Magus In merciless, I have -19% cold resistance. I think this gear might need work.
-
@PleegWat It's generally accepted that under 75% of any resistance in merciless is doing it wrong.
-
@Magus Including chaos?
-
@PleegWat Probably, but that's harder.
-
@Magus Anyway, after killing hillock merciless I got a cold resist ring as quest reward which stopgapped that somewhat - now -4% fire, 16% cold, 20% lightning, -60% chaos. I'll see how it goes. If the only way forward is 'grind cruel for another couple weeks' then the new D3 season is starting Friday and I'm out.
-
@PleegWat Wait, that was only Cruel Malachi? That wimp? You should be fine against him... its the merciless one that murders me. I didn't even grind, though I failed the labyrinth a few times, which is still good xp.
-
@Magus Yeah, sorry, thought that was obvious.
I think it's my reaction speed. He's all huge attack in my face before I've got time to more all the time.
