I put a POE quote in my doctoral thesis Posted: 05 Mar 2019 07:10 AM PST https://imgur.com/a/RmAkJnk Next week I will have my PhD defence! As POE was a great contributor for relieving my stress levels, I put the quote from Rumi's Concoction in my Doctoral Thesis (which regards magnesium deficiencies in type 2 diabetes). "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." -Rumi of the Vaal If you're interested in the content of this thesis, the articles can be found here: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/2116265036_Steef_Kurstjens Thanks POE! :) Besides my contribution to the research field, here is my extremely old-school contribution towards the POE-field https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_6tV6Q_1V0&t submitted by /u/iznobest [link] [comments]

Fact about Tencent servers Posted: 05 Mar 2019 07:02 AM PST benefit Character Level 70 and below can reset passive tree 30 time a day for free. in-game AH you can buy things instantly without sellers online.It is very convenient when buying maps .CAN NOT use real money. ​ ah look like this bigger inventory bought with real money bigger pet can pick up currency for you . you can get this kind of pet with real money, or time limit version(but free) through some event. can not pick up high value currency ,such as chaos orb(my pet pick up 10000+ scroll for me) Officially supported flask macro. free mtx from events every seanson 淘金册 spend 100 rmb (about 15$) for the ticket and in-game effort you can get 600 points, you can get 6 Mystery Boxes and some mtx.with extra real money (about 1rmb for 1 point,or you can get 2000 points with 1500rmb) 1200/1800 points you can get Supporter Packs Master Undertaker and Master Soulstealer.2000 points you can get a permanent Pick up pet. disadvantage in-game ah can not filter affixes ,can not sort by price, it can only highlight affixs you want. it's a nightmare buying jewelrys Popular builds' stuff is very expensive hmmm... submitted by /u/hyperhu [link] [comments]

The biggest disappointment for me about the leech calculation changes is that the dev team thinks leech instances are fine as they are. Posted: 05 Mar 2019 08:56 AM PST Slower attacking builds are already more unsafe than fast ones because of their shittier movement skills, as well as being unsafe since you're forced to sit in one place for longer to finish attacking/casting. The absolute pinnacle of why slow attacks will never be viable in PoE is leech instances though. Just changing how those work would instantly open up half the skillset for attacks IMO. Because of how leech instances work it doesn't matter how hard you're hitting to hit the max leech rate as long as you're doing enough damage to leech 2% of your life per hit since that is the Maximum amount you can leech from one source of damage. IE you have to hit something 10 times in order to hit that maximum leech rate and therefore, faster hitting skills are better since in order to take advantage of the maximum leech rate as a slow hitting build you need to not be on full life for however long it takes you to deal damage 10 separate times. Something that's almost impossible against bosses without overleech (which has just been nerfed so now you need to hit them 10 times within 5 seconds of each other to be at max leech rate). More info here: https://youtu.be/R_x2zZmKjTw?t=48 I really really wish they would just remove the leech instances mechanic all together and make your maximum leech cap 20% of your life, if you hit someone for 100,000 damage why can't I just get the leech from that all at once, why do I need to hit them 10 times first. All a mechanic like that does is punish slow attacking builds into being even shittier than the mechanics of the game already make them. submitted by /u/gl0bin [link] [comments]

So You Want to Try SSF in Synthesis? A Friendly Guide. Posted: 05 Mar 2019 08:39 AM PST Hello there, midtown here! Some folks seemed to enjoy this guide so I've updated it for 3.6. I don't really believe any league is inherently superior, so the goal of the post is simply to explain how to have some success if it is your first time, and not convince you that SSF is the best. Why should you take my advice? Well, I'm no elite player, but I was able to accomplish my 3.5 league goals of Shaper, Red Elder, and 24+ challenges, so hopefully that's enough experience to provide useful advice for the average player. Okay, here goes! Choose a fun league starter that doesn't require any non-trivially farmable uniques. Safe uniques would be very common uniques and ones that are fast to farm via div cards: Tabula, Stormcloud, Sire of Shards, Whispering Ice, etc. There are plenty of guides in the forums that mention they are SSF-friendly, so go for one of those if it is your first time. As you get the hang of it you won't need to follow SSF-specific guides, but it helps a lot in the beginning. That said, you have access to a lot more uniques than you think. Because trade is the easiest method to get most uniques, it's what most people do and you never learn the other ways. First of all, a surprising number of uniques have divination cards that can be farmed. Second, every recent league has had access to Ancient Orbs, or access to an identical mechanic (Incursion = T3 Sacrifice, Bestiary = Beast craft recipe, Delve = Harb nodes), which can make it fairly statistically straightforward to get many uniques with the right iLvl. Third, add Chance orbs to your loot filter as well as any bases for your most desired uniques, and chance them all. That's how I got my Allelopathys for my ED/Blight build and you'll see many SSF streamers doing this. Try to fit increased item rarity (IIR) into your build. This is much more powerful than most people realize SSF, because it gives you significantly more build-enabling uniques, significantly more alchemy orbs, and significantly more T1 rares to identify. I'm a big fan of farming The Ascetic as a league starter before you have great gear. And if you can, fit Item Rarity gem in your main skill (or swap it in for clearing). If you freeze, HoI+IR is a great combo, or if you DoT, Contagion+IR (the first DoT gets the kill credit and this includes spreading w/ ED). For context, my SSFHC DP Heiro had a 6L Soul Mantle, 2x Kikazarus, and a Self-Flagellation. And my TR Heiro had a 6L Quill Rain, 2 Abyssal Tombfist, and a Kintsugi. You'll get more items overall than you might expect (including uniques and currency), because SSF feels like a league with inherent IIQ. I don't mean the zones themselves have IIQ of course, but because there's no time to spend on poe.trade, looking up items, whispering for trades, doing rotas, and leaving maps for trading, etc, you simply spend more time killing monsters and will find an increased number of items. It can be a really refreshing experience, and you should generally be swimming in everything you need to map (chaos / alc / scour / sextants), not only from killing more monsters, but from having more currency you aren't spending on trades. Drop-only gems: I haven't had much trouble finding multiple Enhance/Empower/Enlightens/Added Chaos/Detonate Mines each league. If your build depends on Added Chaos, use Added Lightning until a couple drop as you get into your 90s. If you are having trouble finding Enhance/Empower/Enlighten, roll Gemcutter strongboxes for support gems and run gem Delves/Temple rooms. Unique Jewels: These are the hardest to plan around in my experience, because they can't be reliably chanced. Obviously many are quest rewards, and if you need two, just race another character to A5 if it doesn't drop. Some seem to drop every league for me (From Dust / To Dust / Dead Reckoning), but don't exactly plan a single-element Elemental Hit build in SSF. Some do have Div cards, so that's a great option for those (A Mother's Parting Gift for Ice Storm, for example). Atlas: 3.4 and 3.5 made filling out your atlas so much easier, with the Zana map rewards and non-deterministic 3:1 recipe. For red maps, 3-to-1 will help a lot as you farm them (I do this each time I hit 5 of a map so I always have at least 2 of each), and the various source of Horizon Orbs (Strongholds, Delve, Zana missions) make life a lot easier. These are especially valuable at the higher tiers where you are more likely the get the map you want as the pool is limited! Don't forget that Vaaling a map has a 12.5% to upgrade it as well. For filling out your unique maps, Ancient orb mechanics are also great once you've got the unique gear you need! Lootfilter. Use one! For league start: Filterblade.xyz > Presets > Leveling > Wands/Bows/1H as appropriate, Normal/Semi. Then quickly transition into Strict once you are all rare gear, and then Very Strict around maps. Make sure to add your chancing bases, div cards, and remove any T1/T2 rares you won't use. That last bit is especially critical if you play with IIR/IIQ. Generally I keep only the top 2-3 tiers of each gear slot of the right type for my build (Evasion, ES, etc) in my loot filter, and once I have a great item for a slot, I remove all but the top tier base for that slot. Currency. So you're short on a currency you need? Make sure you are alching every 6+ map you run for quant sustain, and Chisel + Vaaling whatever the highest tier red maps you are running/sustaining. Take any reasonably close Currency or Vaal Outpost Delve. If that isn't enough, let's see what you need: Vaal orbs: sell 7 vaal gems + a fragment for a Vaal orb. Run extra fragments in your map device for a Vaal area when you need more Vaal gems. You can also run your maps that drop The Catalyst. Chaos orbs: generally self-sustaining, but can do the occasional chaos recipe as needed, but focus more on Delve Currency/City nodes. Pick up <75 ilvl items from Vaal areas (above) as needed so at least one item is < 75 ilvl to get 2 Chaos. Regals: regal recipe as needed! Alchemy: Generally self-sustaining, but in case not, you can buy them 1:1 for Regret orbs, which are otherwise useless end-game SSF! Pick up and sell identified unique items you don't need for alch shards. Consider maps which drop good div cards (Survivalist) when you are low. "Also keep in mind that you can use unneeded fossils or Orbs of Binding to roll your maps if you are running low on alcs." - @ot4ku Fuses: Sell Jeweller's 4-to-1. Run maps for cards like Loyalty. Don't forget to 20+ qual anything you are trying to link! Jewellers: pick up every 6S of course, and pick them up from maps. Silver Coins. Transmate + Augment every white Strongbox you find. "Extra silver coins" rolls surprisingly often! I ID blue Strongboxes so I can augment if it only has one mod. Adding a suffix is generally where the good stuff is, but rolling an Exile prefix is great too. GCPs and Baubles: I have quality gems and flasks (>=15% for the latter) in my loot filter, and have a single dump tab for them. When it gets full I fill my inv and sell them all, gaining a handful of each every time. You can also ignore the flasks and trade Blacksmiths for them. Sextants: It will help a lot if you optimize for Shaped/Elder maps that can use white/yellow sextants and need at most 1 red, but on't forget you can 3-to-1 upgrade Sextants. Do a Shaper's Stronghold any time one spawns! I'm currently sustaining T16 Elder UGS pretty easily and run 3 sextants, 1W+2Y. We'll see how common the new Sextant div card is in 3.6 as well. Scours: These generally self-sustain even with liberal map re-rolling, but you can grab extra from vendors as needed. Wisdoms/Portals/Armourers: Hopefully these are off your loot filter and you just sell Transmute stacks as needed (Blacksmiths in the case of Armourers). Please share anything else that has helped you or any questions you might have. It is really a lot less overwhelming and more fun than I expected, and don't forget you can always migrate to Trade if you get stuck. I did this in Delve so I could try a meta build and kill Elder+Shaper, and it worked out well. Keep in mind that the "Migrate All" button migrates all of your lab trials / delve / Atlas, etc, so as a general rule there's no penalty for starting in SSF and deciding you want to go trade. And, don't forget to join Global 773! submitted by /u/mrooney [link] [comments]

Mob count for every map (Statistics) Posted: 04 Mar 2019 11:19 PM PST I am finally done with the mob count statistics for every map. ​ Its already sorted by the new Synthesis tiers, if I made a mistake with a tier just tell me and I will fix it. And dont forget to check the tabs in the bottom for infos on all maps. ​ Keep in mind every map was done 10 times, so the outcome can be a little different if you do it with a larger sample size. ​ Spreadsheet ​ Top 10 Video ​ Image (did not forget about phone users this time!) ​ I also wanne say thanks to the community for spending the maps that I was missing, took a good amount of work/time invest off of me. ​ submitted by /u/not_Shorex [link] [comments]

Patch Notes Waiting Room Posted: 05 Mar 2019 09:54 AM PST Anyone else have the day off and losing their shit from patch notes hype? ​ What are you expecting for changes? Rip Inpulsas? ​ What build are you planning? What are you hoping will work? What builds are you happy to see nerfed? ​ New skills hype? ​ Edit: Surprised nobody has mentioned breachstones yet. Do you guys feel like they are fine? submitted by /u/Jayypoc [link] [comments]
