    An idea for useless Watcher's Eyes

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 05:57 AM PST

    I just wanted to say

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 10:18 AM PST

    When I first started out the game in early 2018, the game felt overwhelming and very complicated. But I distinctly remember making my first every purchase/trade in game, because that changed my perspective forever.

    ​

    So I came to the poe reddit threads and saw everyone talk about poe.trade, so then I go to YouTube, pull up the first ranger build video, took the name of the first bow it asked me to get, went to poe.trade and pulled it out. The item was just 1 alch and I was like hey that's cheap! So I copy the message, go to poe and text the person. The dude sent me a party invite and I was like sorry I'm new how does this work, and he guided me through every step of getting to his Hideout and initiating a trade. I asked him why the item was so cheap, cause I had like 18 alchs and though I was rich enough. And the dude went ahead and explained the market, sockets/links and their value, and everything in between (half of which went over my head).

    ​

    THEN he initiated a second trade and put in 20 Chaos Orbs. Now I had accumulated 5 chaos till then and knew the value of this ultra rare currency, so I immediately cancelled the trade and was like hey I can't accept that/it's too much. He told me he wasn't uber rich or anything, but insisted I take the currency as it would help me on the way and I was like are you sure...?

    So I took the money and thanked him profoundly for all his time, the explanations, and the amazing 20c (also sent him a friend request :D)

    ​

    But here's the thing, little did I know that as a noob player I would not make a lot of currency that league. I was ONLY able to complete my YouTube build cause of the 20 chaos (that that guy gave me).

    I've come a long way since then, and every league after that I've made sure I give cheap leveling gear or free advice to new players, and every single time the players have appreciated the kindness and sworn to help others later. This for me has been more fulfilling that griding currency.

    ​

    I wanted to make this post because since the Diablo fiasco, there has been a huge influx of new players, and at the end it comes down to the community to keep a healthy competitive atmosphere alive.

    To the dude who gave me those 20 chaos, thank you so much! I don't remember your character name and I don't know how to find you on my friend list anymore, but your act of kindness was everything to me in my first league, and it is something I'll never forget.

    Those blue particles ( I assume from Aul's amulet) really ruin the clean aesthetic I was going for... There should be an option to at least use invisible buff effect on it.

    Contagion and Profane Bloom need attention

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 05:54 AM PST

    So I've been a long-time fan of Essence Drain and Contagion, and if anyone has played this combo on Occultist, you probably know where this is going already.

    ​

    Thematically the Occultist should be the perfect chaos DoT ascendancy, or at least competitive with Trickster, but with the way Profane Bloom prevents Contagion spreading it will always be either worse for mapping or you sacrifice the additional curse (which is the "essence" of Occultist).

    From what I understand when Profane Bloom triggers and kills nearby enemies, Contagion will not have time to cast itself before the nearby targets die. (I'm open to correction on this)

    If it were some niche interaction it would be less of an issue, but it's the main chaos ascendancy being bad for the main chaos DoT combo, and it's been a long-standing issue.

    My thoughts are either on-death Contagion should apply quicker so it can spread, or there should be some small delay before Profane Bloom chains, or there could be a specific interaction between Profane Bloom and Contagion so it applies on the explosion hit. Another thought would be to swap the Profane Bloom and Malediction nodes so a Contagion build can skip Profane Bloom but still have access to the additional curse. Another thought was that Contagion could be a debuff that proliferates similar to ailments but the DoT only triggers when a nearby enemy dies.

    Please add any thoughts or generate some discussion. If we can have Inpulsa explosions one-shotting a map, we shouldn't be gimped for trying to play ED/Contagion Occultist.

    ​

    Edit: I didn't factor in the new DoT nodes in the ascendancy, but I still feel it sucks to be pigeonholed into less curses on an Occultist for a particular interaction, especially with all the new curse and chaos tools being teased

    As a relatively new player who is finally earning currency...

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 05:15 PM PST

    When you realize every chaos spell scales the same and might stack

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 12:51 PM PST

    If GGG is rebalancing "ALL spells", as mentioned in announcement, does it include Proc spells like gloves enchants and triggers skill on items Like Tornado, Storm cascade, etc

    My mum made my Atlas map even better (:

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 02:22 PM PST

    What is the fastest map clearer than is viable late game? Autobomber vs. a fast bow build (example linked). Other suggestions welcome!

    PSA: You CANNOT chance Synthesised base items.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 04:45 PM PST

    Confirmed by Novynn.

    And you cannot chance items with fractured mods since they cannot be normal as well.

    Is Berserker really that bad? (newbie)

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 07:37 AM PST

    Berserker are the usual class that I go with if there are available on most of the RPGs that I have played. Berserker usually having a good dps and being tanky at the same time.

    However base from all the threads I have read so far it seems to be really on a bad place at the moment. Is there really no other skills or build that you can play with it besides from Sunder or Warchief?

    Any thoughts on the recent Mathil Build for Berserker?

    EDIT: Yes Jugg really is the way for now. Using Jugg for my first build back in delve and it is great! Reave/BF Jugg is fun to play with.

    EDIT2:Any thoughts on how to improve the ascendancy? Some GGG staffs might breeze over this thread! If jugg is based with THICCNESS and you can simply scale it to do good damage, how about berserker basing with a RIPPING damage without RIPPING its own hp? maybe just lower other field of defenses instead of having a degen? Or straight out remove the down side. Jugg and Champ don't have any downside in exchange to having good dps right?

    Lets create awesome Unique items, then someone comments with a "butt" as in something that breaks it.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 09:08 PM PST

    here is a terrible example: a helmet with tri res, but you cannot summon minions.

    ​

    edit: I know this wont get popular, but of the responses, I'm laughing at all of them so thank you!

    Wow my drunk post blew up. The best post I've seen all week: "light radius is based on totem placement speed"

    [Suggestion] Since the spotlight is currently on Chaos spell, i want to use it to point the fact that Bubonic trail's Death walk would be way more fitting as a Chaos damage effect exploding corpses dealing chaos damage and a Caustic cloud

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 07:20 PM PST

    Somebody brought this up and we were talked about this in chat and it would only make sense since you have Death's oath with Death's aura that deals chaos damage and also both symbols are quite similar and have a purple color

    Bubonic referring to bubonic plague which is a disease which is mostly represented by chaos theme

    It would also bring diversity since Abberath hooves pretty much already do the " Walking fire explosions" effect

    Id love to see it deal X% corpse life as chaos + x% corpse life as caustic cloud

    So, I tried CoC Cyclone Ice Spear (& Cospri) and the dps is pretty pretty good (Hydra Kill video)
