What is up with the fragments like Sacrafice at Dusk?

I put 1 of each in the map and nothing happened, I also tried 4 of the same kind, still nothing.

There are 4 total and the Midnight peice being the rarer one. If you have all four, arrange them in a circle. You can add random single fragments to maps later on to enhance the map.

Y'all remember sextants, right?

More like lamer leaguestones. Which is fine unless they're uber rare or something stupid. Seems to just be another way to find targeted chase items. Can't wait until the 200% div card scarabs are like 10 chaos each b/c of headhunter farmers.

Scarabs will use the existing fragment stash tab, but likely not in time for release. Interesting when opposed to the assumed fossil tab.

Watch them make burial chambers T15.

Was trying to hit Conc Effect + Immolate just casually chaos spamming a helm, but I ended up with this. Is an evasion helm OK for Righteous Fire?

I don't think RF helms sell for anything if they don't have the enchant or the delve life% and good resists to go along with the burn/conc but maybe it's different on HC.

Generally RF helms want the 30% elemental mod over conc effect so they don't have to deal with the reduced aoe. Only a rich boy would have both and swap out for bosses.

My aoe was fine with just a conc/burn elder helm when I was using it. Once you go for rich-boy status you want elder helm with conc/burn + insanity or horror (whichever the helm one is) + life + resists + enchant.

This is on Standard, not really looking to sell it, but like I'm only missing a good amulet (probably also from chaos spamming) for an RF build and then I think I can pull off a pretty beefy one. Every time I have to do an uberlab on Standard to test a character out I throw some enchants on it, so eventually I think it'll hit RF. But every build I've seen has like 50 dex.

It worked, thanks. That map is fucking hard!

The trio can be the hardest thing in there if you don't have the damage to blow them up. Kill order generally goes spike rain bitch first, then the dual striker that lights himself on fire, and then the big cycloning sword guy last, but you might swap the last two depending on your character. For Atziri, the thing that will kill you blind is when she splits one of them has 100% damage reflect, so unless you do chaos damage or are immune to reflect from your ascendancy, you'll just flop over dead. In the split phase, I always look for the blue arm materializing in to attack that one, and then make sure none of my damage hits near the others.

can you equip multiple of the same support gems?
ie, have in my boots: Immortal Call -> cast when damage taken
can i also put Molten Shell -> cast when damage taken in my helmet?

Will the new season start the same time as the Delve season finishes? Do we know what the season will entail?

Yes, as long as they are in different pieces of gear. Highest level gem takes over in same piece.

Certain abilities, like immortal call, share their cooldown so you can't really stack those.

So I wound up just rerolling entirely to focus more on totems rather than zombies/skeletons. Was getting sick of trying to wrangle minion AI to do what I want, and totems with arc just seem to be infinitely better in general.

Been using this thing I had in my stash, but I really need more links on it. How does the math work on spamming fusing orbs at this vs just buying one with with 6 links? I see them for 3 exalted pretty commonly, but I don't know the conversion math on that vs trying to just trade for 1200 fuse orbs or whatever and spamming?

A 6L should be thought of as a luxury, you only really need it for guardians/shaper/uber elder. 5L isn't too hard to get usually, if you spend more than 150 fusings getting a 5L you got a raw deal. Buying a 6L should be one of the last things you do with your gear at that price point, i.e. if you're gonna spend 3ex on a 6L, buy other items worth up to 3ex in other slots first. Otherwise, spam fusings and hope you get lucky!

Depending on skill I personally prioritize 6link over 3ex pieces of gear in any other slot (barring weapons for attack builds). I'd rather have a 6link and a 20c ring than a 3ex ring and a 5link type of deal. Now, if you can get a solid upgrade on 4 different gear slots for that 3ex total then maybe it'd beat out the 6th link.

As far as buying fusings vs buying the item already 6linked, I would buy the item already linked. I generally don't like to buy fusings and just use the ones I find and ones I buy with my jewelers through the vendors/vorici daily. If you're already geared out and clearing everything you want to just fine then it changes things a bit since wasting 5ex on fusings to try your rng luck on a new item isn't as bad.

Fusings in this game to me seem to lean towards the extremes, I either get a 6link fast and easy (200 or less) or I get dicked (more than the 1500 that vorici charges which is already more than a 6linked version of almost any item if you convert to exalts and compare).

I've rolled one to a good set number and found one with a good set number and neither gave me the pricey cards so I stopped. Can go either way, I suppose. If people like to roll them then more power to them, i'm definitely not one to criticize where and how people spend their currency considering how much I spend rolling items.

Funnily enough, I found more of the unique diviners in delve than I did regular diviners (3 vs 2).

I wonder if GGG would ever consider letting scions pick 2 ascendencies from the same class, like elementalist/occultist or raider/pathfinder etc. Would open up some more interesting builds I think (for 6 points same as it is now to get 2 of them).
By far the most annoying part of Scion is they have to finish cruel lab to even get an ascendancy and depending on your build you might have to finish uber lab to even be functional. I have a pet Scion build I've failed to make work in two separate (hardcore) leagues now because it's crippled enough without the two points that uber lab killed it.

ascendant uber is just the starter path jump. sure it can usually free up 3-5 points, but crippled?
