    Could we have a way to scroll through caracters on mobile ?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:07 AM PST

    Since GGG is doing build archetypes from now on, It would be really cool to see Build of The Week return with builds that matched those archetypes.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 04:09 AM PST

    I miss Build of the Week and Bex bloopers. It's a great way to help new players find a build they like (and we are not really short on new players now are we) and would be great to see if those archetypes were in fact being played and opened the possibility for more cool builds.

    Incursion feels really bad

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 06:47 AM PST

    Compared to how customizable Syndicate is Incursion feels super terrible this league. I almost don't want to run another 6 X Tier2 room temple.

    Are there any strategies to manipulate the current bad RNG?

    Going forward should you be able to pick from a selection of 2-3 rooms before entering each incursion ?

    Pert's February Bingo Race - February 9th at 6 PM CET (Brands + Arc banned)

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:32 AM PST

    Pert will be running a Path of Exile Bingo SSF race next weekend. For those familiar with other speedrunning games, think Ocarina of Time Bingo or Super Mario 64 Bingo, just with PoE specific challenges.

    Tl;dr rules: Kill A10 Kitava and complete a row, column, or main diagonal of the Bingo Card. You cannot use Arc, Storm Brand, or Armageddon Brand

    For those looking for a more in-depth explanation of how this race works, check out the Rules and some sample Bingo Cards below:

    Bingo Race Explanation / Rules:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ow2og7Th7gDm8k-wU_EEGbinDRdG1Hylh2qe6q5p8c/edit#gid=377936952

    https://www.twitch.tv/videos/362814250?t=22m13s

    https://www.twitch.tv/videos/359408247

    Please Note: THIS IS A SOFTCORE SSF RACE. However, the center square of EVERY Bingo Card is DO NOT DIE, so attempting to play Hardcore will open up additional choices on your Card.

    Aditionally, for this months race Arc, Storm Brand and Armageddon Brand are banned. Bingo is meant to be a race that encourages non-meta playstyles; the current strength and popularity of these skills discourages experimentation.


    This race will be open to any interested participants, although to be considered the winner some form of stream / video must be provided upon completion. I've created the league with 30 slots initially and will add more / open up crowdfunding based on interest. If you are interested in joining leave a post here, apply on the Private League Page ( https://www.pathofexile.com/private-leagues/league/Perts+February+Bingo+Race ), ask for an invite in the #poe-bingo channel in Discord, or message me on the forums to be added.

    If you do participate, please review the rules page on the Google Doc for important specifics on how each Bingo Square must be completed. Please note, some keywords and cards have been changed since the January Race for clarity / brevity.

    The race will begin at 6 PM CET on Saturday February 9th. The Bingo Card used for the race will be released 10 minutes prior to the start of the race in this thread, in our Discord, and in the Private League Global 822. This will allow participants a brief period to plan out their character. A countdown timer to both the Race Start and Bingo Care Release can be found below:

    Known participant streams will be added prior to the start.

    (Positive Post) The PoE playerbase is really nice

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 12:02 PM PST

    I met a complete stranger today. He was on the singapore server as I was and I needed someone to help me get through act 6 to 10. I couldn't level as fast as I wanted since I was leveling my guardian with RF from level 40 onwards (bad idea). I got really fed up with swapping between LA or MS gem/gear set-ups to level, and it had become too late for me since I was starting from gem level 1 again.

    This stranger carried me through cruel and merc lab, and also let me leech exp me until level 68. We spent a few hours together, had some laughs, and got to know each other as players.

    I eventually returned the favor when I got to complete my build. When he created a new character, I carried him through a couple of acts with my guardian. I also gave him a couple of chaos orbs as payment since he could have spent those hours with me farming instead. All in all, I got a new friend today (within the same timezone!) and I had a blast being an aura support.

    No Longer Glass Cannon Tabula

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 04:39 PM PST

    [Showerthought] Spending days to put together strange builds (PoB, Shopping, etc...) and then seeing them work very well is an extremely satisfying feeling and something very unique to PoE. What's YOUR favorite thing about the game?

    Warlord's Mark Elder Ring alternatives

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:27 AM PST

    For life based casters there just doesnt seem to be any other viable leech, playing winter orb scion with vaal pact, slayer over leech ,uber .6% leech boots enchant and life recovery pantheon I still pretty much leech nothing unless warlords mark is applied (same for my 6 link ice spear set up)

    Blasphemy + Warlords mark is pretty unreliable whenever you hit anything outside the small aoe no leech happens and as a caster you tend to stay further away naturally. The elder ring doesnt have that problem it has infinite range. New cast socketed spell enchant is also very hit and miss. I've crafted two rings myself but since decided to experiment and its just shocking how much of a crutch this ring was for my character.

    [BSC] Late start made me take much longer than usual, but I finally did it. 40/40 Betrayal

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 11:31 PM PST

    Remember what GGG said about current state of curses? Well I'll remind you...

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 08:35 PM PST

    https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2137408

    We would also like to look at the way curses work. Ultimately, we want to rebalance them entirely with a particular focus on their effectiveness against bosses - making them stronger against bosses while minimising the difference in their effectiveness against boss and non-boss enemies. Again, this is part of a much larger rework and not possible to do immediately but it's something that's on our radar.

    Also from the same thread:

    We would like to update the way that Elemental Equilibrium works in the future. At the moment it provides a significant bonus that goes against its intended use. Most notably, it currently has a non-penalised 50% reduction of resistances on enemies. A single keystone on the passive tree shouldn't be providing such a significant damage boost unless there's a significant investment required first. We don't want it to be necessary for ignite builds but with the way that it works now it can feel like that's the case. Changing this involves a much more significant rebalance of various skills which is likely to happen later

    I still have a hope for it in the upcoming league. But something tells me we will have to wait for the MEGA-expansion for it to happen.

    PSA: If you're missing Veiled Mod crafts (e.g: Elreon's Veiled or Catarina's Veiled), you can search for the Veiled Affix on the official Trade website

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 11:04 PM PST

    EDIT: Click this link for a visual depiction of what I'm talking about.

    EDIT2: If you are looking to get the flask mods, you need to unveil Cinderswallow Urns. There's no way around it, since flasks can only be Normal, Magic, or Unique. That means they can't ever be "Rare" and thus crafted on by Aisling's Research bench.

    If you have "Advanced Mod Descriptions" enabled under "UI" in Options (which you should), you can hold the Alt button while hovering over items to see more info about the affixes of that item. This includes Veiled items, which actually have multiple subtypes.

    There are "Veiled" (prefixes) and "Of the Veil" (suffixes), but each Syndicate member also has a signature mod [Link for a table that shows what they are] that are distinct from "Veiled" and "Of the Veil" that can only be found on items of the correct base types dropped by said members. If you type "Veil" into the affixes search bar in Path of Exile's official trade website, you will see the difference. You can also hold Alt to see the difference. Since these can be a hassle to get (Looking at you, "Get outta my Syndicate" Elreon), it can be easier to buy these items instead of farming them yourself.

    There are also external tools for recording your crafting recipe progress and seeing all of the recipes in the game and where they come from. I use Xanthics. Make sure to bookmark your progress, since the URL changes with each recipe you have checked off/not checked.

    Finally, due to the intentional way that Veiled mods are generated (each item has a unique seed and can only ever generate the same set of veiled mods), you can utilize Aisling in Research to get recipes that you don't have. People have talked about these tips, but I figure I might as well bring them up again.

    1. Get an item that has unveiled the affix you want. Ideally, if your desired affix is a prefix, it should have 3 suffixes (to block the possibility of Aisling adding a suffix instead of the prefix) and vice versa. You can generally tell when it's unveiled and not crafted because the stats on that item will be utter garbage.
    2. Get Aisling in Research. According to /u/d07RiV, any tier should do. I've had identical results between 2* and 3*, which really makes me wonder how the bench works in the first place.
    3. Use the Crafting Bench to scour the unveiled (crafted) mod on your item.
    4. Run your Safehouse and use Aisling's bench on that item to add a veiled mod.
    5. Unveil the item. If everything went correctly, you should get an unveil option that matches the desired affix that was previously unveiled.

    Warning: This doesn't seem to work on the Syndicate member's signature mods, since Aisling only crafts "Veiled" or "Of the Veil" (generic prefix/suffix). I tried this with some Catarina items. It also doesn't work on Unique items, as Aisling's bench specifies that a Rare is needed (Yes, I scoured a Unique with a veiled affix and tried it).
