    I've been playing for 7 years and just looted my first Wisdom Scroll. Had nobody to share this with and I'm very proud!

    Stop tagging Bex's personal twitter account with game feature & bugfix requests (*especially* streamers)

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 08:06 AM PST

    Bex posted this tweet a couple of days ago so I'd like to call attention to it again as it seems some people have missed it. To me it's a pretty clear warning that this open access to communicating with her is being abused and we risk losing that avenue like we did with Chris and support requests here on reddit a year ago.

    I noted "especially streamers" in the title because streamers are obviously the most active on twitter by the nature of what they do. I'm not singling anyone out in particular.

    Finally, I'm not saying you shouldn't speak up about whatever it is you have to say, just tag @pathofexile instead or post about it here on reddit. It goes to the same place anyway.

    I really really really really really want CYCLONE to be a Channeling skill.

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 06:06 AM PST

    I really like how D3 did cyclone into this smooth playing skill which moves to wherever you are pointing your mouse at.

    Been with this game since the first beta till now, and spin-to-win is one of my favorite machanic in game. But PoE cyclone just feels clunky to me ever since the beginning, and I would want to voice for a revamp of this skill.

    I know this was brought up a long time ago, and it had been seriously considered before by GGG. But now that their player base is much larger than before, and they also have better resources to put things together, I believe now is the BEST time for the Cyclone skill to be revamped.

    Hope this will be heard 🙏

    I've played off and on since Breach league.

    I've played heavily since Incursion.

    I just hit lvl 97 this league without doing any Pure Breachstone runs.

    I just learned that Chisels give 5% quality to normal maps. I've been chiseling rares maps all this time for 1% a chisel.

    Don't be like me.

    Tabula Rasa... Hideout?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 12:39 PM PST

    How about a Tabula Rasa Hideout?

    A big blank square

    White/Grey/Black floor? with dim suffused lighting.

    1. For me, I just want my hideout to function optimally. Lots of space, nothing in the way, no visual clutter. Just Me, my map device, stash, crafting bench, and my Master Bros. Eventually, I'm sure I'll customize some floors and doodads eventually.
    2. For people into designing hideouts, this gives them a blank slate to work with. They don't have to cover up walls or floors to develop the scene, they're starting from scratch. Also seems like a way to try different complex designs before fully implementing them.
    3. For the soundtrack... Maybe the character select screen music? Is that being used yet?

    A ninja buff to Mastermind fight

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 05:06 AM PST

    On last phase Mastermind starts the fight in invulnerable state and always teleports around now. You can no longer one-shot her last phase. This makes getting the challenges done significantly harder, especially on high level Masterminds. It wasn't mentioned on patch notes so I decided to let you know.

    Suggestion to rework the "The Nurse" Divination Card

    Push your CoC to its limits (Potentailly 23+M)

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 07:54 AM PST

    Edited:

    1. I am very sorry for the title. It should be "Potentially 21.8M". I can't edit the title so I'll leave it with my apology.
    2. Thank you for all your comments. I'm learning a lot from y'all. I wish I could change the title as follows: Help me push my CoC to its limits :)
    3. Added "Interaction video"

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for coming. I'm posting this thread to give some tips for CoC. Hopefully it helps you maximize your CoC performance. I am attaching a video to prove my points. I wish I've done deathless uber elder in less than 95s but my mechanic wasn't that skilled: lots of mistakes and server lag.

    Here is the video for CoC (Half-way done maximizing DPS. It's around 8M.)

    UberElderFight

    Anyways, let me get started by answering questions.

    • "Shut up and give me your PoB"
    1. PoB in Uber Elder fight (Video)
      1. I think having at least 6.6k hp (with 80 resists, Wise oak effect) won't get me one-shot in Uber Elder fight so I refunded life nodes investing damage nodes.
      2. https://pastebin.com/nHKcgfHk
    2. PoB for mapping (This is my actual stats for mapping)
      1. 7k+ Life
      2. 140%+ Movement Speed
      3. Damage Mitigation (Damage shift up to 24%; mine is 11%)
      4. https://pastebin.com/Uuamm1AW
    3. PoB (No Unnatural and comparably easy-to-setup)
      1. It was my previous stats until I bought Unnatural Jewel and slammed my boots
      2. Higher DPS but less HP
      3. Easy-to-setup compared to the second one.
      4. https://pastebin.com/w14BFk7Z

    • What's your ascendancy? Scion: Assassin + Inquisitor

    • Why Scion over Assassin?
    1. Pros
      1. Higher DPS (Source): (1) Inquisitor Ascendancy, (2) More Jewel slots, (3) 5 Additional Passive Points
      2. Higher Life Pool: (1) Might of the Meek, (2) 5 Additional Passive Points
      3. More utility: (1) Immune to elemental ailments. (2) 36% All resistances from two Might of the Meek, giving flexibility on implicit/explicit mods
      4. (Optional) Best place for unnatural is placed near the Scion starting point.
    2. Cons
      1. Less consistent to proc CoC
      2. Cyclone Crit Chance is around 80-85% during crit-crafted diamond flask
      3. No culling Strike
      4. No single boss critical Damage reduction

    • Higher Attack Speed, Higher DPS?
      • Partly True. I believe there would be break points. Check this thread: Ideal Cyclone Attack Speed on CoC
      • Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed: 0 -> Let Cyclone Attack Speed =< 3.0
      • Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed: 14+ -> Let Cyclone Attack Speed =< 3.75

    • Vortex and Bonechill. What the heck is that?
      • Vortex instantly creates a chilling area, and, if Bonechill supports Vortex, enemies in the area have cold damage taken increased by chill effect (14.4% at lv20 gem. The default slow in any chilling area is 10 and Bonechill increases it by 44%)
      • If you additionally link Unbound Ailments Support, then the chill effect will be 17.4%
      • If you are lucky enough to get a helmet whose mod is "Supported by lv 20 Hypothermia Support and 20% increased chill effect", then the chill effect will be increased by 21.4% (Assuming Vortex is placed on the helmet)
      • Hence your enemy will take 21.4% more cold damage on a chilling area from Vortex.

    • Aspect of the Spider?
      • This debuff slows enemy's movement speed by 30%, increasing damage enemy take by 15% at 3 web stacks.

    • Shock nearby enemy for 4 seconds when you Focus
      • This mod makes enemy take 20% increased damage

    • Why did you check "Shock" in your PoB?Focus Shock let enemy take 20% increased damage while PoB Shock gives 50% increased damage enemy take.
      • Here is why. 21.4% from Vortex + 15% from Aspect of the Spider + 20% from Shock = 56.4% in total. So I checked "shock" and 1 web on PoB. The damage on PoB is still less than my actual damage since 1.4% increased damage taken is missing.

    • Dude, your helmet is insane. How do I get something like that?
      • To be honest, it's not that insane as you think. 40% increased Ice Nova enchanted helmet gives you much more damage than the tier1 flat ice damage on a helmet. I purchased the helmet for 2 ex and it was super lucky though.
      • If you're going to craft or buy one, then put Ice Nova damage enchant prior to the flat spell damage.

    • Do not spam Vortex while in a fight.
      • It consumes Frost bolt projectiles up to five so Ice Nova can't proc on Frost bolt projectiles. In other words, you'll lose your half damage if you spam Vortex.

    • How much have you invested on your item?
      • It's around 50ex (Unnatural: 16ex, Meek: 2ex, Helmet: 2ex, Amulet: 6ex, Armor: 3ex, Weapon: 2.5ex, Shield: 1ex, watcher's eye: 1ex, Divine Orbs: 5ex, crafting: 10ex, and others)
      • I purchased Jewels (2 Crit Multiplier Mods) between 1c and 50c, and "Leo Research"-slammed them all for 4 mods. Every rare item except my helmet and some jewels is all crafted including my abyssal jewel.

    • Why Quartz Flask in Uber Elder fight?
      • The flask gives Phasing which allows me to move through enemies. So I cyclone more smoothly than without it. However, I'm seriously thinking of using Atziri's promise in next Uber Elder fight.

    • How to calculate CoC Ice Nova damage?
      • Ice Nova Damage (Main) * Attack Speed * 2 (Cyclone Double Hit) * 2 (proc on two Frost Bolt projectiles) * Cyclone Effective Crit Chance
      • Ice Nova Damage (Weapon, Single Hit) * Attack Speed * 2 (Double proc) * Cyclone Effective Crit Chance
      • Frost Bolt Damage (Weapon, Single Hit) * Attack Speed * Cyclone Effective Crit Chance

    -- Edited: Ice Nova damage is from PoB. And Cyclone effective crit chance added. Thanks for helping.

    • Any Ideal version for Uber Elder Fight? Here it is
      • https://pastebin.com/pu5bC7MK
      • Very challenging but achievable (if you have mirror budget)
      • Use Elemental Focus instead of Hypothermia in 6-links. (Your cold skills on Cospri have enough damage to inflict chill on enemies including Shaper and Elder)
      • Awesomely corrupted Loreweave.
      • Damage Potential? {(1312621 * 3.71 * 2 * 2) + (342745 * 3.71) + (372226 * 3.71 * 2) } * 0.93 = 21,866,900 per second. "At least 21M damage per second" (Missing 2.6% increased damage taken)

    • Ice Nova procs twice per event?
      • Check it: Interaction
      • Set up: Cospri's malice: Frost Bolt + Faster Projectils / Armour: Frost Blade + CoC + Ice Nova
      • Yes it double procs on two projectils

    Thank you for reading my thread. I hope you've enjoyed it. Feel free to correct my tips if I'm wrong on something.

    [DATA] Raw Data from 26,593 Prophecies

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 11:19 PM PST

    I'm too lazy to create a fancy spreadsheet but somebody in another prophecy thread was curious about distributions for all prophecies. I didn't record the total profit nor how much I spent on the coins themselves (though you could figure it out if you were so inclined).

     

    It's most definitely quite profitable to farm prophecies but also ridiculously, mind-numbing and boring. Never again. :D

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 08:57 AM PST

    TL;DR: 1750 chaos profit.

    spreadsheet here

    Build: MF Storm Brand 67% IIQ havent changed anything since the 144 Toxic Sewer runs.

    I used 230 white sextants total and tried to combine map mods with the sextant mods rolled e.g. 30% magic pack size with Bloodlines Map etc; Unid with Unid Maps; Nemesis + Rare Monsters.

    Overall Im statisfied with the results. On average it took me 2:30 - 3:00 minutes per Map.

    Only 1 Exalt dropped and that was in Map 137. There were no Hunters Reward drops whatsoever. Most of the profit was due to the Exalt, Loyalty and Jewellers Orbs from 6 sockets.

    I didnt pick up any rares, not even Ring, Ammy, Belts.

    Buying all the maps and sextants was no big deal. I bought all the maps in 2 purchases and all the sextants off of one guy. While vaaling I bricked a couple of maps into T9s so I had to rebuy some more Grotto Maps.

    In my friend’s glass workshop, I expected more glassblowers’ baubles, but instead found this book.
