Path of Exile 2

The GG rares I have sold (5 div+ rares) didn't drop they were "created" and its kinda just "Identifying With Extra Steps" Have a filter just show the good bases including magic, then aug, regal and exalt and hope you get lucky. Do the same with gambling. Its super lame and feels bad but it is the way. Im at 75 divs and a giant pile of exalts for slamming.

Also get 250+ Rarity on your gear it makes such a dumb difference in this game you might as well just have a dedicated mapper. My Hammer Chronomancer is my Pinnacle+4 boss killer and this Hexblaster I'm building will morph into a 3-350% MF mapper. Its dumb but they love their MF and until they get rid of it it will always be a BIS stat.

Which filter? I'm using one of the popular ones, hopefully I don't have to adjust it myself for what bases i'm looking for. Hell I don't even know what bases are good to look for

I think most everyone will end up taking a break up until release here soon, if they havent already stepped away. The end game just isnt all that rewarding. Your build starts to take off in a make or break attitude at the end of chapter 2, normal. Then, nothing overwhelmingly changes for the rest of the game. Its quite.. weird?... I want to say? I enjoy the game so I dont mind playing it when I have a chance. But even now, as I wait on someone to come pick me up tonight - I really dont have a lot of desire to log in because I know Mapping will just stress me out.

I need about 65 Divine Orbs. Guild mates, please. Help.

I am slow rolling it through Cruel, and didn't play a few days this week. Still having fun, but I knew that the end game was going to be all the grinding you can eat. At this point I am not into that particular game loop, so I roll alts early and often.

I took mists advice! Just get lucky I guess.

If you guys want to get ahead of a meta that will eventually present itself, start figuring out how to gear around the default/auto attack skills in this game.

Every single one of them scales out of control, cost no mana, get free links at various levels (6 at level 90) and do crazy damage with levels. And, coincidentally, the attack based ones are pure phys and so get full benefit from leech.

To illustrate here are some links to some of them:

Bone Blast

Conjures a circle of ritual inscriptions that last for a short duration. When the duration ends, spikes of bone erupt from enemies in the area, damaging them and potentially causing Bleeding.

Chaos Bolt

Fires a burst of Chaos energy at the target.

Bow Shot

Fire an arrow with your Bow.

This will be meta, and some streamer(s) will laugh about "how did nobody notice this! why is GGG putting this into the game?!"

You can't scale down shit bud, because nobody knows anything. Now here's more to think about.

Go into the skill panel for any one of your skills and look at the "On Kill Effects".

Then consider if these work, and you won't be able to google it, because nobody has tried yet apparently:

Very interesting.

I'm just about to get 2nd Ascendancy on Acolyte of Chayula which gets the Energy Sheild leech online.

Bow Shot could be an option.

The defensive package is very clear but the offense side isn't. I'm doing poison right now as it's on theme, but not a lot in the ascendancy actually supports that.

Is pure evasion or evasion/es the way to go for Monks?

Twinked myself with Advanced lvl 48 gear just now and went hybrid. Not sure what to do when its time to upgrade next.

Haven't been playing. This laptop is absolute ass.

Someone already posted the video I came to share. pfft!

Got "worst ascendancy" Acolyte of Chayula into Cruel.

As soon as Mana Leech to Energy Sheild came online after 2nd Trial, it's pretty much unkillable.

Using Bow Attack and Rain of Arrows, Bow Attack feels awful to use but I killed the fire forge guy in 2 lava waves just like I did on super fun Frost Sorc that had shit exploding everywhere, so not actually slower.

Going to try the physical Monk abilities to get something more interactive going since I'm face tanking trash mobs anyway and I have no Bow specific passives.

If anyone has a spare level 60ish Djinn for my 3rd ascendancy in the guild, please let me know. I may end up just buying a few depending on what they cost, but I made it halfway through Floor 3 with a level 72 coin.....figure I should be able to pass with a little luck and a lower level trial.

Am around 55% honor resist and 4k honor.

Lowest I had was a 67 and a 68, but I tossed in a few honour resist relics of various sizes so you can try to hit 75%. It's pretty trivial once you hit that mark.

All the way at the end in tab "1".

Appreciate it, thanks a lot! Should be on soon to give it a try.....really if I just dont get trapped between 2 shitty afflictions I think I'd be fine.

yeah. I ended up getting it at level 73 in a 62 trial.

some tips. yes, 75% honor resist, first. try to get +30% ish max honor as well. +10-20% honor restore is nice too.
floor 3 has lots of chaos damage. so try to get 30-50% chaos resist.
cold/lit resist is low priority. fire resist is high. most of the traps are fire. others are poison/chaos.. first boss is fire. second boss is fire and cold. those stupid fire clerics. fire.

honor lost is after DR. armor helps.

blasphemy-temporal chains. if you can get Zone of control, for the Aoe HINDER as well. do it. temp chains+ZoC will nearly trivialize Sekama trial.

Max dps. also very good. outleveling it with gear for damage is great. dunno your build, but a +3 to skills wand was a bit party of easy moding it for me.

pick your path. actually prioritize sacred water, and pathing. you should be able to floors 1 and 2 with nearly zero honor lost. ignore honor regain in floor 1. go for sacred water.
Avoid afflictions at almost any cost. especially uncontrollable ones. "can"t see afflictions, dont go where you picked," etc are awful. "you have no ES" can just end your run potentially. or, "regain no honor".
but if you path for sacred water, boons, or nothing, youll get the merchant after the boss. buy all the boons. and repeat on floor 2. ideally, on floor 3, you have like 2-3 afflictions, and like 7 boons.
Also, look ahead, and try to keep options open. a path that only leads to 1 door is bad. even if the room before is a nice. getting a boon, that immediately leads to "you have no evasion" sucks.

max honor is based on max Life+ES. so, might be worth shifting gear, to max those out. even over other potential stats.

Can I get an invite to the guild? My char name: Sevrobarcka

Ok am starting to see why people are complaining about the endgame. I’ve been searching for these citadels for days and haven’t found one. Maps are easy now but there’s not enuf to do at the high end and what there is is too rare.

Also the issue with too big and terrible layout maps just starts to wear on you over time. I assume they will fix it but it concerns me that such a blatantly bad system was implemented in the first place. We don’t hear from him much but I bet Christ Wilson is pulling strings wherever he can to make the experience as painful as possible

I’m sure some autists have broken the code on where every rare can spawn on every layout to speed run this shit, but for me I end up having to clear every inch of a corner at a time which takes forever, but is probably better than having to double back across the entire map because you missed a fucking rare that you didn’t see before

Got it first try, ended up with 40% move speed / enemies have 30% lower life and 2 hammer of the gods practically killed the boss before the fight started.

Did have to take the 5% loss per hit and that almost screwed me on the 3rd floor escape trial bullshit. Body blocking sucks dick sometimes.

Anyway, thanks again - I put the other unused Djinn back in the guild stash and a few higher honor resist items. Once I eventually beat the 4th one Ill just put ALL my good relics in there bc I have zero desire to do it ever again.

What's the deal with the guild stash? Can I just grab items if they are upgrades? I dumped a bunch of gems, rares and a unique in there.

Don't disenchant/salvage things you take. If you're done put them back.
