I assume the issue here is it firing an extra arrow? how did that happen?

The krangler is adding random affixes to uniques via the 4% per skill level to add a mod to a magic/rare when krangling.

Can I get an invite to the board guild? All my friends have pretty much given up on this game. PoisonConRanger in game.

What are you referring to just the rapiness of the league mechanic mobs?

People are pretty salty because the krangletron will basically never produce a usable item for you. It's kinda nice very early on to cheat your way in to a mediocre 6-link, but otherwise all it can really do is ruin gear. At the very very ultra high-end it'll be insane, but we're talking the .01% kind of thing that can afford to feed 100 shavs or whatever in to it post-double corruption etc, or hundreds or thousands of 86 astral plates until it krangles a +1 charge and you can spend 50ex worth of tainted currency trying to roll it in to real affixes.

Mob damage is hilariously high in the upsidedown, and they are fast. So fucking fast a bunch of builds can barely even interact with them and just die the second they zone over. Armageddon brand for example utterly fails against most of the demon mobs in there, as their movement speed is so high they outrun the meteor animation and it just misses unless you stand there and let them facefuck you while meteors hit them. Like look at this fucking mob:


The damage on its divine ire beam is utterly insane, and they charge that shit up offscreen on you constantly. Lord help you if you rolled a map with monster speed mods or anything on it, or you've got your corruption anywhere north of 50 stacks.

Krangling maps is insanely strong at least and I think people are really overlooking it. Stuff like rare mobs drop a scarab is not uncommon at all and can show up very early on in the krangle process. It does take quite a lot of maps to feed them enough corruption to get past tier 2 or 3 in the process, but honestly you barely even need to most times. I just roll them until I see something nice in terms of rares drop X and then run it.

Monster speed on maps right now is such a pass on the V. In fact, I've been passing on V most of the time unless I need to refill my flasks.

Also, somebody on reddit said their base IIQ is 20%, which means when you get 100-200 percent you're actually only getting 40-60% IIQ and it doesn't take into account the map IIQ at all. No idea if it takes into account player quant but who cares either way. Don't know how they got those numbers but I definitely feel like the mob drop rate is lower.

Either way hopefully a small tuning of the numbers is all this league needs. Luckily the mechanics feel great. Seamless pop in and out of league and map and it feels like it rewards good mapping routes.

I stopped dying a whole lot less with a Temporal Chains aura going.

But melee get fortify

Just play righteous fire. Turn on the vaal version, press V, PURGE THE HERETIC

I just want to say that "Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you" is the best option ever added to the PoE skill tree.

That is all.

My friend is Vaal RF Jugg, he's #2 I believe for RF Juggs in the league. It clears like a king, but the single target even with Scorching Ray is non-existent. He had the highest DPS on PoE Ninja too. He tried A8 Sirus and in 13 minutes he couldn't kill him. Lost in Phase 3 due to getting stacks. He may have been able to do it with Flame Dash over Shield Charge, but his DPS time in Phase 3 was incredibly limited so it still would have been a looooong fight. RF Jugg DOES clear like a fucking champ though. The only time he died was when he hit VRF at the wrong time.

GGG been radio silent for several days. Makes me think they're doing a full rework of the Scourge mechanic. Who knows.

Scourged maps can be immensely profitable, even at lower tiers. Make sure you're always Scourging maps. Also the currency is much more powerful than people understand. Stuff like Tainted Chromatics favoring offcolors, Mythic Orbs for targetting shaper/elder uniques, and the best, Tainted Chaos Orbs:

Look for ring with +1 power charge corrupt. It's 5c because it has shit stats. NO WORRIES. Tainted Chaos orb. Boom it's rerolled. Still bad? Do it again! Boom. It's white. Oh noes....but wait, cook that shit up! Then the RNG begins as you are purely gambling on the alchemy from it hitting well, but some of the corruptions (+1 frenzy/power/endurance, +1 arrow) can be very helpful even with lackluster rare stats.

BUT WAIT! There's more! You can also buy/vaal bases for the corruption you want and then Mythic Orb them. Want a +1 Arrow Quiver? Start buying shit corrupted Two-Point quivers with +1 arrow on them. Then Mythic orb that shit and see if you hit it! At 10c a pop (375% price hike in last two days lul) it's really not too bad for items that have less shared uniques in the base type.

Basically they gave us a lot of power but you have to figure out the puzzle to make them. The Scourge cookin' is definitely lackluster for items at the moment, they probably need to remove some of the no-nos and cut most of them in 1/2. Ziz wants them to only have positive outcomes and no negative which would be a bit much, I think, but maybe not if they just make the Scourge XP like 5x longer. We'll see what they do, but I'm in agreement that they definitely need to do something.
