Lv90, Atlas almost done, beat Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds.

Searing Exarch bolder mechanic is AIDS, I think I actually rage quit over this years ago, but got it down with no portals left. Eater of Worlds is easy.

How do the other two bosses compare? Working towards Maven now.

The boulder phase is the worst mechanic of any boss in PoE imo. Uber elder is mainly you gotta keep moving becuase you're usually dodging stuff form off screen, and then just know the mechanics. Maven is easy other than the beams in the last phase that kill your healing/regen, maybe harder if your short term memory is terrible.

I try to rephrase the text on an offer to "hey dude, would you..." just to get their attention. But thats only because most people are morons who don't read.

Got my RF chieftain up to 30. Still not 100% geared right, but I have more than enough FR to make it work. Shit went from struggle sessions to pure ease. Walk into the packs. Walk directly into the packs.

Yea that build was pretty smooth sailing all the way. The best thing is it just keeps ramping up as you build the Passives tree and Ascendancy points.

I stopped for now at 98 and I can juice T16 quite a bit and shit just explodes.

The only bad part of the build was Rolling Magma untill you get RF up and running.

You absolutely need flame dash for both Maven and Exarch

How does one get around the lightning degen issue on prototype? Do you just die? The mana aura and crusader maps are all I can think of but I expect at -200 lightning res you just die instantly.

Convert damage taken(not just hits) away from lightning. Tempered By War, Dawnbreaker, and Sublime Vision Purity of Fire is the classic way to 100% convert but that last one costs a ton. You can get most of the way there by replacing it with a Watcher's Eye.

Talisman necks can convert away from lightning too. A lucky Eyes of the Greatwolf will do 100%, but might be expensive too.

Ok I saw the talisman and it was only hits, maybe they're is another roll that does all damage.

Thanks, picked up one for my gladiator in act 6. List as 98% and 23% for spells in PoB.

Well, gladiator doesn't need that shield because gladiators get lucky block as an ascendancy passive without the downside. It's other ascendancies that want it

Only lvl 50. Picked up for trigger on dodge. It's beyond dirt cheap, socketed and linked with trigger on dodged. Guessing new shit has higher drop rate from the price. And I took bleed explosion in my first lab and haven't done lucky block node yet. So cheap at lvl 50.

Bought like 30 instilling orbs and having quicksilver / granite / jade flasks going off automatically makes a huge QOL difference. I did do the same last league, but I think I was way further along so I didn't realize how much of a game-changer it was.

Now I just have to get the right socket colors for automating steelskin and I'll be set until I can farm up like 10 more divines.

Really enjoying this league so far even with less shit dropping on the ground, but how the hell is anyone sustaining chisels before T17s?

It feels like a lot of the normal ground loot has been converted to gold and you get that back through the map runners in kingsmarch once you have them up and running. gotten 3 divines and 5 valdo's puzzleboxes so far along with random bubblegum. And i only ramped up to running all 3 map stations today.
Wages are about 60k an hour but thats about what i can get in 6-9 minutes mapping and doesnt feel like an issue.

I know that you know that we know that you know how to look up patch note history on poewiki.net.



So, what are you really asking?
