Path of Exile

Shield charge is only viable if you're one of those weirdos that runs 1000 copies of the same map like atoll or whatever that only has open/straight areas and 0 rocks or obstructions in it.

God help your shield charging if your map has a single piece of terrain in it.

I fucking hate that movement skill. If it's not leap slam, flame dash or frost blink I'm not playing the build. I try my best to avoid builds that uses shield charge.

I once did shield charge with a crimson temple strat.

That's when the hate took hold

What breaks if they fix the pathing to be more forgiving wrt obstacles like cyclone is?

What breaks if they just let people use leap slam without being limited by fucking weapon type?

Is there any way to get out of the mist early or do i just have to run around untill the portal pops out?

So I’m ready to move on from the magi spec and do the charms one. Only problem is, how the fuck does one find these people? Do you seriously have to go find them again to respec or am I missing some button somewhere? Ggg can’t be that dumb

Run into the darkness and it'll stack to 10 and shit you out and you'll get some cool voiceline most people will never hear.

ah that makes sense

edit: on 2nd thought it doesnt make sense cause you clear the darkness when you move towards it so how do you run into the darkness before the portal spawns and the mist stops being cleared as you run towards it?

If you're not "done" with the mist, the wisps will clear away the darkness. There is no exiting early, only purposefully running away from collecting wisps to ensure you won't empower a map you'd rather not.

ye, mobs get so obnoxious at like 4k it's just not fun would rather exit earlier.

So wisps are like the power sources for you. By collecting wisps you can dissipate more darkness before the portal pops. So if you just run into the dark and hit 0 wisps it'll end quickly. That's why you usually portal out after hitting two dead nooks or something. If you follow wisp trails carefully sometimes the wildwood can be as big as a map. I've seen 3 events and 3 vendors (2 of the same) in one wildwood. Think I was at like 6k wisps before I bought some charms and left.

And as far as as beating goes I'm trying to figure out if it's a specific TYPE of wisp that seems to make nuclear mobs. I think it's blue (currency) that makes them deadlier, but I don't have enough data for that. All I know is if you're doing maven conqs/guardians PROBABLY don't juice the map before hand. I had a hydra 1 shot me with 0 damage mods on the map with 5k life max all res including chaos with and general guardian 20% less damage shit. I actually died 4 times up to the boss because of nuclear abyss rares.

It's silly when you have an established build and you don't juice a map and then you basically walk through it and kill conquerors and stuff in less than 4 seconds. Then you juice it and it's a 35 second butt puckering ordeal. I like the idea of it, but obviously some mobs and modifiers do not stack and this is the worst version of Arch Nemesis come to life. Any life regen/conc ground mob with yellow juice and GOOD FUCKING LUCK. I do 10m-20m dps and I can't dent them. I can't imagine boneshatter Andy's with their 2mdps facefucking those things for 5 minutes until they just leave.

Also be VERY careful about altars in wildwood. The "no armor/evassion, 25 increased action speed" shrine is a deathtrap for most people. I accidentally clicked it before a T16 syndicate/abyss/maven boss fully juiced and was playing like the biggest pussy possible for the entire time. Didn't even step foot in research syndicate because that was 100% instant death with all those phys mobs crowded in there.

I had a league area that had two different ascendancy NPCs, so it's definitely possible to have multiple.

Still trying to decide on a starter myself.

I would suggest elementalist Detonate dead, SRS guardian or boneshatter slayer. These builds can take you far in the game and they all have detailed well written guides at Maxroll.

I keep clicking those without reading out of habit, saw one that was like 0% exp but 200% quantity item buff? or something fun while I was leveling. Lots of neat in those

For example in sanctum, leap slamming over some things like the flaming skulls still cause you to get hit by it. Using flame dash does not.

Oh, right. I knew that.
