Is there a soft/hard cap for +rarity to items? Why doesn't that show anywhere in the stat sheet?!

Check the little arrow on your skills on the right hand side in the gem window and it's under "on kill effects."

No one knows shit about hard #'s about it. I'd suspect some (20-50) is infinitely better than 0 and something like 600+ is probably marginally better than something like 200.

Up to lv84/T13 now, really enjoying grinding through the maps.

Started being a bit more tactical with juicing boss maps and using bad/lower level ones on empty nodes, so had no problems sustaining.

Still not dying all that much. Desperately need a massive chunk of Divines for a new mana leech bow.

How are people finding the 4th ascendancy unlock? Managed the 3rd one paying 5 exalts for a lv60 trial and using Chayula Darkness to give a 600 honor sheild. Got half way through the 4th and blew up to the homing missiles on death debuff.

I just unloaded a bunch of shit into the guild bank because I didn't want to fuck with trading it... feel free to be full American Inventorly and George Floyd that shit. I also have a shitload of Rubies, Emeralds,and Sapphires I have no idea the value of if anyone is good with that shit. I might unload a few in the bank but if anyone knows how to sort with the weeds.

I feel like I am spending much more time playing inventory sim than blasting mobs and I hate it.

Well Breach Stone level 3 is like impossible for a Minion Cuck it feels like. They get stuck in Gauntlet part and keep despawning and the DPS goes to shit.
Which minions did you use for 4th Ascendancy? I fought the final boss on both Seckhema and Chaos and couldnt get either one to drop before a sneaky one shot got me. Feels like my DPS is too low and using a Ghostwrithe I cant get my spirit much higher. Using Arsonists.

man i wish we only lost xp on death, and didn't loose whole maps
Right?

I was going along great the last 2 days, ran through T6, 7 and 8. But I just died on a random ass node with a T9 map twice, and both times I have no idea what happened. It is worse than PoE1 with the ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU ARE DEAD.

One assumes ground effects I couldn't see, maybe?

The way you have to juice up maps to get 1 shot and lose it does feel like complete dogshit. I feel like this is something that will likely get changes because all of the feedback everywhere is fuck you GGG for being total cocksucking pillow biters here.

Yeah I am hoping some more changes in addition, but just keeping the extra activities / juice would be a good start. Shit feels beyond bad especially when you don't even know what killed you 90% of the time.

I've attempted Zarohk the Temporal like 3 or 4 times now and he's complete shit to fight. Trialmaster I've 2/2'd and it wasn't even scary at any point. If you're looking for your 4th ascendancy I'd highly recommend the Chaos trials (though the 3 pieces are like ~25 ex each) over the Sekehma 4th floor.

Or just get a big dick guildy Pillar of the Caged god meta slut to come in and blast either one for you while you wait in your cuck cubby (like I did for my 2nd character).

Got a lucky omen scepter drop that brings me up to +6 minion skills, 50% minion DMG, 1-40 dmg as lightning, and can use 15 reavers with 2 clerics now. Lvl 88 with full ascendency. 6 gem lvl 19 reavers just blasting.

I'm a newb, don't play much, and really didn't spend much on gear. My es/hp/mana is lacking but that doesn't seem to hold me back w pets protecting.

I need to invest in 3 slot belt for chaos/freeze/stun and I'll be golden.

Still not sure if I'm really into this game. Will see how patches shake out in the next few weeks.

Ya its so much quicker to get back to Trialmaster that's going to be my second try.

I hope they don't.

I'm a big fan of medium-core stuff like this, where death isn't permanent but is very costly.

(I have died 4 times today to absolute fucking bullshit.)

You confuse “challenge” with “tedium” juicing a map and a waystone to lose it all because of as you eloquently put it (absolute fucking bullshit). Isn’t fun for anyone involved at any level, just because you are a miserable cunt and wasting time minute by minute is an enjoyable pastime for you isn’t a reason to hope shit design stays shit design.

If they wanted challenge in this game they wouldn’t have allowed retarded level dipshit scaling to insta blast the very tippy top of bosses because they were too lazy to balance the game and use non-retard scaling.

In somewhere like 150-200 T15+ I have died 3 times on 2 diff chars. 1 in breach I was just dumb and stood in a what I assume was a chaos on death effect when I stopped to loot something, 1 again in breach while on my minion char and they all unsummoned because I ran too far, they went poof and I got fucked and 1 where I alt tabbed to do work and came back dead cause I didn't pause and thought I was safe =O

I doubt it gets changed. It isn't a huge problem unless you are too undergeared to blast the tier you're on or playing some build where you can't see shit on the ground. Might change my tune when I swap to SSF full time, but trade league it's just an "oh well" and go again cause really juiced maps are paying out a div+ each run.

Kinda crazy how little it takes for dynamic resolution to kick in. Like, it's so little, how did it not happen during the campaign? PoE1 is an unoptimized piece of shit. I used to be able to run that game just fine on 7YO hardware and I upgraded to a 7800X3D/7800XT just so I could get my sanity back loading towns during league launches. I haven't seen dynamic resolution enable in PoE1 since that upgrade. That is until PoE2 endgame.

Truly, a worthy successor.

I'm just saying I'd rather they fix the bullshit (mobs zerging you out of nowhere/spawning on top of you and pushing you around so you can't act) than remove the risk.
