    Please don't give Monoliths the Breach treatment.

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 01:54 AM PDT

    Breach league reign as one of the most memorable and enjoyable leagues for all players who experienced it back then. Legion, in a similar way, is fun, rewarding, with controlable difficulty (you can unlock less mobs if wanted). Once it goes core, we understand it will be reworked to not cluster with other mechanics, but please don't make them the new breach. Breaches took nerf after nerf, to the point that the feeling of excitement when finding a breach nowadays is over. My appeal for GGG is to not take the nerf hammer too far, to the point of making finding a monolith in the future a bad experience.

    Hypothetical: GGG runs an event where you get double the skill points. What build do you make?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 08:54 AM PDT

    Assume it's a two-week event. What new builds are made with access to ~100 more skill points?

    A new-ish player's journey and thoughts on Path of Exile. Also 40x uber elder and 200 delve nodes at depth 270-290 loot breakdown.

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 08:34 AM PDT

    Hey folks,

    Just wanted to make a late league post about my journey through PoE, personal achievements and my take on the game. These are just my personal thoughts on the game.

    Betrayal: PoE is my first ever ARPG. I didn't play any of these before and did not know what to expect starting out. I started in betrayal league but did not play that much.

    • started off with Enki's arc witch at around week 2-3 after betrayal launched.
    • Took me 60 hours to complete acts (yes, I was that slow) *Made it to tier 7 maps without trading for them. *Rolled a toxic rain pathfinder for delving, saw sulphite is not shared, trashed the character
    • Rolled a Blade vortex chieftian, levelled a bit but gave up on game! Can't find link to build. Sorry! *Bought first blood pack for stash tabs, a premium tab and currency tab

    Issues I ran into that eventually made me quit the league:

    Isuue 1: Load times

    • Oh god, the absolutely abysmal load times if you use a HDD.
    • 5 mins load time on starting the game, 1-2 mins waiting for map to finish loading assets
    • Made me hate the game enough that I was dreading turning the game on.
    • Unique problem compared to all other games I've played(only a few)

    Isuue 2: My (mis)understanding of f2p model.

    • Thought the entire experience would be available as f2p.
    • Soon found out you need stash tabs to play for any length of time for the "default" experience.

    Issue 3: Sulphite and delve

    Sulphite is not shared, only knew that after rolling a new character for it and wasting my time on it Unstackable fossils and resonators. Thought the devs are greedy and this is a way for them to make people pay for more stash space

    Issue 4: Chat

    • So much ASCII spam
    • So much RMT spam. Warframe has no issues with RMT spam in chat. In my 3k hours of playing the game I saw RMT spam a couple of times which was immediately curbed. Warframe as an example because that is the only other multiplayer game I played. Rest are all single player. The RMT spam gave off a vibe that this is a cheap game where nothing is moderated and anything is permitted. Reported a couple, ignored them but there were so many, and eventually(within 10 mins of turning chat on) I just turned off all chats.

    Currency tab after Betrayal:

    Map tab after betrayal:

    Synthesis:

    Issue 1: The mechanic from trailers seemed like it would need lots of item collection in your stash to synthesize any good items. Seemed like you had to buy more stash space to play the league. Seemed very money grabbey and was already not interested in league mechanic.

    Issue 2:

    Still abysmal load times. No SSD. Gave up

    Currency tab after synthesis

    Flashback:

    Got an SSD. much better load times. Gave up because I was too newb to handle all the area mods and picked winter orb to level which unlocks much later. By then, I lost interest because I was getting my ass whooped. Collected the loot box. Gave up.

    Currency tab after flashback

    Legion:

    • Trailer seemed fun. Decided to join league 2 hours before launch. Picked ziz's ED/Cont build
    • Cleared acts much faster(~12 hours), Got to maps. Farmed foothills legion for some currency.
    • Started mapping, bought 100 coins for 10$. Bought map tab. Glad I did. Poemap.live is absolutely OP
    • Defeated white elder, starting farming city square for monolith, sold burials and sac frags for profit.(thanks Grimro! for the strat)
    • Switched to alleyways. Sold glaciers for profit.

    Issue:

    The goddamn lag. I died so many times just because of the lag. I wanted to buy more stash space but decided not to, because of the insane lag. Even now, I want to buy the stash tabs as a sale is going on, but I am holding back until new league launches to see if the lags gets better/worse.

    • Progressed to red elder, not enough dps to keep shaper alive. Used frostwall. Took 12 tries. Did not know about using blight for bosses. Was just using vaal blight for crowd clear in maps.
    • Decide to reroll a new char, started pure phys cyclone slayer. by shepuurd. Best decision.png
    • Get to level 93. Did some challenges along the way.
    • Got scammed for 3 ex on a gem. Was sleepy did not check how much ex he put in clearly
    • Decided my league goal is 36 challenges.
    • Wanted to try MF TS windripper. Cleared acts under 7 hours. Invested a lot. Was not worth it for me.
    • Cyclone is fun. One button press for all content compared to ED's two for clear and 2-3 for bosses. I know this invites cyclone too ez critique, but it works for me.
    • Wanted to try juiced up T16 mapping and if I can sustain them. Second best thing I did in PoE
    • Learned about using acquisition for trading. How did I ever survive with just 1 trade tab -_-
    • Started doing delve periodically. Still don't like delve much. Devs roll out fossil stacking which eased up my stash space a lot
    • Bought doctors for headhunter. I had 1 doctor already which randomly dropped from legion. Not very impressed but saw how it could be fun
    • See that 40/40 is doable. Wanted to get good at uber elder. Did not want to buy challenges from chat. New league goal is 40 uber elders.
    • Slowly but surely did all uber elders by myself. Best thing I did in the league. Was a lot of fun. One of the best things I did in my gaming life.(I did not play that many games. Maybe 15-20 games all my life). Will do this every league, if league is good and stable.
    • All challenges done except delve. Still hate it but wanted to see how profitable it is. Recorded just delve specific loot over 200 delve nodes at levels 270-290 where I felt comfortable. Was not super impressed. Delve loot breakdown
    • Finally done delve. Niko prophecies are a lie I found.
    • My best watchers eye finally sells. See that I have enough currency for a mirror
    • Change half my chaos to exalts. Bought my first ever mirror!
    • Logged off. Waiting for next league.

    Currency tab after legion:

    Map tab after legion:

    Challenges I bought:

    • 1 unique strongbox. The rest I found while mapping
    • HoGM carry. Did this for 24 challenges. This was only unique map left that was cheap so got a carry. I eventually did other unique map too.
    • Delve boss. Was getting impatient as delve cities were not appearing. Bought the challenge but got a delve boss immediately after I bought it.
    • Bestairy boss. Bought a beast to spawn a bestiary boss.

    Betrayal crafts I could not unlock. The last one is vaal pack while focussed. I don't particularly have that many issues with betrayal other than mastermind reward being crap, resetting board and veiled items being garbage by design.

    Uber elder attempts and loot: TLDR: 25ex profit just from uber elder loot. Much more if you consider all the loot from mapping in between.

    200x delve nodes loot at depth 270-290: 14.3 exalt in delve loot or 10.6 chaos per 1k sulphite. I did not factor in cost of getting sulphite as it is just a by product of mapping for me and I am not interested enough in delve to use scarabs. I also did not do anything I would not do while delving normally (aka picking shorter nodes for faster challenge completion).

    Things I want to do: Understand builds more. So far its copy pasting the builds. Make at least one build on my own next league.

    Things I would like: Fix the lag and server issues. I know I summed up server issues in 1 sentence, but I cannot stress how much it affected the enjoyment of the game for me until one month into the league. I don't really know what made me stick with the game this time with these issues, but this will be a major factor for me, but I am just one player so ¯\(ツ)

    Edit: one more thing I quickly want to add. six-linking items. Oh boy am I not lucky. I wasted around 7k fusings trying to six-link a perfect form(still did not six link it), 3k-3.5k trying to six-link a fortify vaal axe which in the end I just bought six linked ezomyte axe and called it a day. Never ever going to try six-linking shit again in this game.

    edit 2: deleted a sentence which seems to generate way too much controversy. That is not what this post was about. It was just an offhanded comment.

    Should higher level items have a lower chance to roll bad mods or just not roll them at all?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 07:35 AM PDT

    At some point it feels like a waste when you are progressing through the game to indentify rares with low level rolls like +5 physical damage on a weapon or +10 hp on a ring

    It feels like it shouldn't happen in the first place

    I'm obviously talking about the lowest tier of rolls that you could possibly get on an item

    An item level 70 weapon should not roll 6-12 added damage and whatnot

    No i'm not asking for belts and rings to always roll + 100 hp

    It feels like any suggestion on this sub always leads to people assuming someone wants everything handed to them.

    'Oh but if they make item rolls better then then the grind is easier and there's less incentive to play'

    Come on guys, i'd like to not be instantly downvoted

    Angry Reddit Thread: I want more keybinds / skill slots

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 02:06 PM PDT

    You keep adding cool skills that are fun to use, but now I've run out of room on my action bar and I've got nowhere to bind my Focus skill.

    Also I keep reading summoners struggle with keybinds so it'd help those guys out too.

    Give us more slots on the action bar

    God bless

    HoWa Lightning Strike Occultist "Build Guide"

    Level 68 Deathless Uber Elder with Spectres

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 09:56 AM PDT

    https://youtu.be/LTGj367-O3w

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/31HUGrgr

    I levelled a new Necro for a build guide update and decided to give UE a try with Pledge of Hands at level 68. I bought a level 19 Raise Spectre for the run, but almost all my gems were from levelling, so mostly 16/0. I'm missing 4th ascendancy and Pantheon was just from Acts (no upgrades). The DPS is a bit low so the fight got messy towards the end with random degen and anomalies everywhere. Had a few near-death moments. And, as always, I forgot to use Vaal Haste.

    GGG, can you please make drop-only Delve mods no longer drop-only but also craftable with fossils as well?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 12:10 AM PDT

    As a Summoner player, it's incredibly annoying, because a lot of the good mods are gated behind rare Delve events, especially +1 Spectre on body armour. But also Curse on Hit rings, +2 to level of socketed minion gems on gloves, minion damage on rings and amulets, etc. Please just add these to the fossil mod pool. It's not a big deal to make +1 Spectre obtainable with a Bound fossil on body armour, you can already get it on boots. Same thing with minion damage on jewelry, you can already get it on gloves with a Bound fossil.

    edit: Here's a list of all the known drop-only Delve mods.

    Cute Mathil sounds lootfilter and sound pack

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 02:28 PM PDT

    Everyone's favourite Mathil chatter back with another loot filter/sound pack. Works with Neversink's Lootfilter. Make sure you're using "STYLE (CUSTOMSOUNDS)" and drop the files from the "filter" folder in.

    Download | Preview

    There's a lot of extra sound bytes and if you want to make your own lootfilter I recommend using the mp3 files in equalized_sounds. There's also a cliplist.txt in case you want to find the source clips of the files.

    Still sane exile?

    Is GPU essential for PoE?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 09:54 AM PDT

    All of my hardware are either above or equal to recommended requirements but my GPU is Intel UHD Graphics 620 which is below the minimum? Is there any chance for me to play PoE without a problem with that GPU?

    Zombies build - some questions

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 11:23 AM PDT

    Someone on reddit advised me to play a zombie build with the baron helm, and so far I'm loving it. 8 zombies currently with 3 spectres and an animate guardian.

    The minions are smashing through everything with ease.

    Does the armour /weps I use for animate guardian make any difference?

    Do auras affect zombies?

    What weap is recommended?

    Any decent guide I can follow / read?

    Unique Collectors Stash Tab export?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 01:03 PM PDT

    Is there any tool that can export to an excel sheet or show me live what items I have in a Unique Collectors stash tab?

    When I get a unique item in a League, I want to be able to quickly check if I have it in my Standard Unique Collectors tab so I know if I should save or vendor it.
