Path of Exile

I had some time off from work this week so decided to play some poe. Hadn't played since Harbinger league. Amazing how much has been added since then. Also using that Enki Arc witch build. Seemed super cheap and it's been pretty good so far.

New grandmasters added to the hall of the grandmasters. Get hype?

Deathwing · Jan 31, 2019

Even if you can do that map, is it worth it?

Brikker · Jan 31, 2019

I have no fuckin clue what I'm doing with this Syndicate shit. I'm basically just randomly picking from the two options on each card. Is there some method to this?

Up to lvl 28 on this Arc witch, pretty fun so far. Found one of the recommended leveling uniques Lifesprig wand but the sockets aren't connected so I don't think it's better than my vendor crafted one

Brikker this may help

Rangers in this game are super fun and faced paced. I can throw you enough to start almost any build that isnt 100ex if youre playing in the betrayal league.

If people want to message me in game after 9pm EST tonight ill be around, i can help with maps or anything in BSC - profile is in my signature if you want to add me to friends or msg me

Awesome. I could use any Tower maps you have. Maybe one of each of the Guardian maps too, don't want to be greedy though.

It seemed odd to me they would even spend 1 minute of time working on a map that not only does no one do but a map that (almost) no one can do. That map trolled me hard, it was my first unique map drop. Tier 8, cool, lets do this. Couple of instagibs later I decided to look it up and there it sits to this day, uncompleted. On the positive I did red elder again and it was beyond easy. Just having done the fight once was enough to figure it out.

They sold Grandmasters for money. It was the top supporter pack when the map was released and they are still making their way through all the people who bought it.

I burned out about a month ago playing my Arc Trap Saboteur in maps. Finally decided to hop back in.

I'm trying out an Abberath's Hooves Autobomber Witch for leveling, with plans to go Winter Orb Elementalist later.

This autobomber shit is absolutely hilarious.

Started leveling a scion, was gonna try a version of mathils shattering steel build but i tried a half version at like level 50 and it was terrible. Dont know if it just has really tight level or gear requirements but was terrible compared to the storm brand i had used untill then. Swapped to conc path but dont think ill stick to that even though its fine for leveling. Anyway this lead into the following question.

For bow crafting. I saw on the wiki how to make a +3 bow, googled it and the wiki way of doing it seems popular. Which is Alt spamming for +2 level to bow gems and then forcing a +1 to gems. But then i just happened to see a bow on poe trade that had done +1 to gems and then crafted +2 to support gems and to me that seemed really good becuase of empower. I can see that it would lock you into using empower but with ele hit that doesnt seem like a bad thing?

Anyone played a ele hit bow type and know whats best?

Added you. I"ll gladly trade off some chisels to grab the rest of the maps so i can wrap up this league.

I've got one, but I never really finished her. Imperial bow with a +3 (2 bow, 1 socketed) is best. I used a 5 link Chin Sol for a lonnnng time and it works well. Typically you set up your ST Ele Hit in the bow and run a Multi-target clear skill in a 6 link chest. Or you can just swap out jewels, but I found my colors were different for optimized gems. I have a Starkonja with the Ele Hit attack speed in the stash waiting to get a 6L +3 bow, but I never went back to her. Currently using a +2 Frostferno that is amazing and will definitely get you to the end of red maps. I had a hard time squeezing more than 400k out of mine with Frostferno so I headed down the path of an imperial. I'm sure most of my issue was gear tbh. I got frustrated because of how glass cannon the build is. Most of the guides admit that too. I'm just flat out not fast enough with it. Seen others that are fucking amazing with the same build/gear.

I guess empower is not worth running then? I suppose i should just conclude that the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is lacking empower most of the time.
Thanks for the answer. I think Kaoms heart would be good. You'd obviously lack a 2nd 6-link but can swap between chin sol and this bow and its a massive health buff.

Caeden · Feb 1, 2019

That was another potential way to build. I was gonna grab a loreweave.

Xevy · Feb 2, 2019

Most bow EH builds go +lvl bow with Kaom's or Frostferno ranged totems with Kaom's. Pretty standard to use Kaom's as a chest though with the massive hp gain and fire damage.

I agree we need something 100% or nothing at all. The downside is bots will instantly buy anything underpriced and relist and price fix . Imagine they are manually buying and price fixing uniques starting on day 1 of a league now and doing it to thousands of listings at a time.

RMT is another bad aspect of this game. We bust our ass as experienced players with assigned sellers and a plan to make money for just then little Timmy week 1 of a league playing some newbie build doing 0 flipping or farming links 40ex.

Why does little Timmy linking 40ex a week into the league have any impact on you when you're talking about having 3 mirrors in the first 2 days or whatever? You guys are experienced so nobody else is allowed to have any currency at all, sort of like how it's "bad" that people can get to 100 on breachstones instead of just grinding out 1k hours on maps?

I've heard that you can get mirror div cards from it, also if you make a build that can farm it as a league starter you can make a lot of money selling clears for atlas completion.

The ele hit scion I rerolled to for a bit in delve was definitely not squishy and did a lot of damage. Build is probably more expensive now that they made the guardian items more rare (uses yoke of suffering) but still probably not that bad unless yokes are like 10ex now, which I doubt. 6l chin sol for single target, 6l +gems bow for map clearing (mine was just +2 from an essence, still cleared any map easy as hell so better bows just make it even easier), kaoms, yoke of suffering, the 2 jewels to make it no cold and no lightning, and rares. Maybe a pyre ring for corpse destruction but I don't even remember if I ever had to use that.

I think I'm done with this league, sadly. It's a great game, and I love it. I wanted to get 40/40 but its just too hard without a consistent group of friends or someone to play with and after all the hours I've put into the league, just got burned out playing alone so much. But I had a lot of a lot of accomplishments this league, by far the best I've ever done.

I'll log on sometime this weekend and dump a bunch of maps and stuff into the guild stash that I don't need.

Was a great run though.

Xevy · Feb 2, 2019

Well I did a thing. Was trying to put a resist on my chest. Kind of fucked up. Kind of.

Best 80c item + 1 ex slam I've ever had!

Here's my DPS on double Race Course bosses with Paradoxica Elemental Hit. I had cleaner boss kills, but I was too lazy to mark them:
