Seems like something that should be a quest reward if they're going balance around your skills having an extra 25% more damage(or not).

When do you start to see better jewelers? Im still sitting at 3 link with everything besides the doggo from ascendency that got an extra support slot automatically.
They start dropping in cruel, I got two of them in act 2.

The vaal trick is risky, and you can't ever turn that gem into a 6L so you'll have to just sell it at some point. There's only like a 1/8 chance of actually hitting the +1 socket corruption (1:4 to hit socket then another coin toss to decide if it's +1 or -1). I don't know why people think this is unintended behavior though. PoE1 didn't stop you from continuing to level a gem even after you corrupted it.

------------------------------------
And I guess people have finally figured out the ascendancy shit. Third one comes from doing a L60+ sanctum (there's an ultimatum alternative but it's vastly harder, like L75 + full 10 rounds), and the fourth is from beating the endboss of either one. Fucking ridiculous, just to get ascendancy points.

Is this guy using a UI mod? I want this consolidated health/mana. I didn't see anything like that in the game options, so I assume this a mod. Any idea what mod/where to get?

Is there a way to get runes faster? I need Iron Runes but haven't found any for awhile.

PS5/Console UI
Weird that PC gamepad switches to an entirely different UI compared to kb/m (which is why they don't let the mouse do anything you'd want it to while in gamepad mode) but it's also a very different layout compared to the consoles.

They really need to fix that shit so that you can still do simple things with the mouse. And even though I think gamepad controls are vastly better than both click to move and WASD, they really need to do something about targeting friendly units; sometimes it's almost impossible to get Pain Offering to actually cast.

Based on watching that vs. Ventrua's Zarokh kill video, I would stick with SRS:



That looks.... awful. Ventrua plays like 18 hours a day and only just yesterday was able to get his final ascendancy points?

Definitely switch to Vulkan. When I first started, and Im sure they've patched it some... But DX12 would crash on me every 15-30 minutes. @Janx told me to switch to Vulkan and the games ran flawlessly ever since. With DX12 being THAT buggy, and Vulkan being this flawless - I wouldnt even give DX12 a chance anymore. I see no benefit.

I've gotten 9 Lesser Jeweler's during my entire playtime and 2 Jeweler's. The regular Jeweler's came from Maps/Atlas. I run close to 50% Increased Rarity, though. Not sure if that helps in that regard - but Im not a fan of running without it just out of reluctance.

Doesnt that have a chance of blowing the gem up and also lock that gem to the lower slot? I could see using it on slot 5, maybe? if thats the case, anyways.

I got lucky on my first playthrough. I was bombing the guy from out of range with Gas > Explode. Next thing I know he just started walking forward non-stop, bugged out. Never even stopped to attack, just kept walking forward like he was still in the lava. The Viper lady not long after that is the worst fucking boss Ive encountered though. You cant fuck up on her mechanics even in Cruel Difficulty with an OP build.
I have had problems with crashes. Do I need to install anything begorr switching to Vulkan?

He still doesn't have the last two points in the video he posted this morning with a full build guide, so apparently killing sanct/ult boss doesn't actually work yet for the final ascension.

Why awful though? That's a ton of dps he's doing there when you consider how tanky the build is.

Not sure if it was adding a socket to Cast on Freeze, or one of the passives I got, but holy shit my Freeze - Ice Comet combo is completely online and absolutely wrecking shit. I burn through mana crazy fast though.

One of the Act 1 bosses I did in something like 5 seconds. Just put Hypothermia down then threw all my ice walls down plus the comet and it evaporated.

This shit is on consoles?

Yeah, that is very annoying to me. I found gamepad to be much better for me, especially with the dodge, but am often finding myself not paying enough attention to mana because it's on the right corner of my big ass TV. Hopefully they will add more options to use the UI from consoles if you're using a pad(or even if you aren't).
