    5 Quick Lore Facts You May Not Know - #15

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 02:32 AM PDT

    It's the pre-expansion hype period again. Which means...lore! Lore for me, lore for you, lore for everyone!

    Hey, I'm that person from that lore thing a (long) while back. Had to stop cause life can be a real **** sometimes. Didn't use Reddit at all for the past 8 months or so. Logged in recently and found a lot of messages from people who really liked the series. So while we wait for PoE: Tower Defense, we're picking it back up. Let's see if we can keep this going until launch day.

    If you're wondering what this series is, check the first edition (link at the bottom).

    1: Back when she was still human, Atziri used to have a sex potion which would attract your 'perfect mate' to you. Atziri kept the drink in the skull of her favorite lover.

    2: Weylam Roth wants to bang Yeena cause she has an amazing 'bosom'. Yeena like to talk to him, but has him firmly placed in the friend-zone. Quote Yeena: "Weylam knows the Spirit but he will not know me". Ouch.

    Source: Weylam Roth, Yeena, Act 7 dialogue

    3: The skill gems we use existed since ancient history. The Vaal called them the 'Tears of the Maji', later they would be known as Virtue Gems. They were embedded onto the flesh and turned humans into uber-soldiers. It is theorized that ours are weaker because we put them on our armor/weapons, not directly on our bodies.

    Source: Eramir, Act 2 Forest Encampment. Siosa, Act 3 Library

    4: Doedre Darktongue's (fat boss inside the Beast in Act 4) real name is Doedre Stanmatis. Her mentor Maligaro (skinny boss inside the Beast in act 4) cut off Doedre's tongue as part of her training. She taught herself to cast curses without speaking, earning her the name Darktongue.

    5: Most people think Kitava is the cruelest god, but Abberath (fire goat boss in Act 6) might have him beat. When he gets a human sacrifice, he doesn't just eat the body: he also eats the soul, obliterating them from existence. Incidentally, this is also why Sin hates him, as human souls are quite precious.

    Cyclone nerf meme video (low effort boredom)

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 11:45 AM PDT

    Couldn't we have something like this instead of talking to masters directly?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:52 AM PDT

    The past few leagues have included updates to weapon bases and now an entire melee rework with huge AOE passives for melee, yet this implicit remains.

    little psa: ahk inputblock

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:54 AM PDT

    hey all, ive noticed that many ppl do not like the implementation of animation cancelling, in its current state. so heres a reminder that u can write ahk scripts, that block all input from mouse and keyboard after a button press. i use this on my vaal arcer, cause having 2fps when a pylon pops often leads to canceled casts on predictive. and even tho the cast time is around ~0.4sec an inputblock timer of 150ms is enough to guarantee the cast without locking u down longer than the animation itself. (wind up + cast+ wind down = cast time)

    if u wanna do the same for ur skill with multistrike or make sure ur escape movementskill is used properly, id recommend to try this.

    i do not see anyproblems with the "1serverside action rule" since we basicly asure that 1button does exactly and only that. tho furthermore if u fiddle around with this and the queuing of actions u might find it alot easier to execute skill combos more crisp.

    GGG please don't forget about Master Favour as QoL change in 3.8

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 01:32 AM PDT

    The Masters provide way to less favour in order to go wild in new hideout decorations especially with some decorations costing as much as 360.000 favour. This may not be an urgent matter but it is quiet easy to fix by just increasing the favour gain (it will be already slightly nerfed due to the new master changes this league) and would make all the hideout fanatics happy ;)

    Shield Charge cone AoE sucks, please change it back into a circle so I can use it for clear like before please.

    Posted: 25 Aug 2019 06:19 PM PDT

    I understand giving it new mechanics, the the aoe change was unnecessary. I never heard anyone complaining saying, "Wow I really wish shield charge was a cone." Also I think it's bugged because I went max area and the cone AoE still seemed very small. Pls fix, it's my favorite skill.

    Did the math on the Cyclone AOE nerf, so You don't have to

    Posted: 25 Aug 2019 06:05 PM PDT

    TL;DR-Berserker 28% Less Range, Slayer 35% Less Range, for 5-Way Max Range builds. Far less impact on cheap non-foil builds but still a nerf

    Changed AoE% calculation on Radius

    Hey guys, I like basic math. And seeing the new Cyclone change give 8% AOE instead of +1 range on bonus range, I wanted to know how actually impactful greater AOE, lesser Range vs Greater range less AOE, would be. Ok, keep reading if you want to see my proof.

    Below are 3 theoretical builds, 1 is this HH 5-way farmer build, 2nd is the same build but more pleb weapons, and 3rd is a random cheap build i'll quickly explain, with slightly less AoE than 2nd.
    Also, I'm theorizing this with 2 basic rules: that the +6(7 with level 21 cyclone) range that Cyclone stacks to, is added to base, not AoE%. And that foils Dont get 24% AoE so i act like i'll use an extra Prismatic to add AoE after the patch. Also that you're constantly killing stuff for Brinkmanship and Slayer.


    With all that out of the way, the first build has: 18 base gem range, 4 range on tree, 12 from weapons (6 to base 11, 6 to global), 50% from tree, and 10% from quality. (And slayer has 2 range and 50% AoE)

    Old Range: 34(1.6,1.26)=43 for Berserker, 36(2.1,1.45)=52 for Slayer

    New(Double 3W prismatic after patch): 18(2.88,1.7)=31 for Berserker, 18(3.54,1.88)=34 for Slayer


    Pleb 5-way farmer build has basically just Two 2W prismatic because crafting perfect 17 range foil is expensive, still level 21 cyclone. So, take same calculations but reduce it by 4 range old, or 32%.

    Old Range: 30(1.26)=38 for Berserker, 32(1.45)=46 for Slayer

    New: 18(2.56,1.6)=29 for Berserker, 18(3.22,1.79)=32 for Slayer


    Now let's say you're a noob like I was, and you take an easy cheap basic Slayer path with Blade master, brinkmanship and Bladedancer for aoe/range, and no +1 range unique jewel. No foil only cause you cant afford good ones and 20/20 gem.
    Thats +5 range total, and 85%AoE as a Slayer.

    Old Range: 23(1.36)=31

    New:17(2.25)=26

    If your read all that, thanks! If my entire math is wrong or anything, LMK, this was just quick. Edit-Formatting

    Seems people want Unarmed Cyclone too, since it seemingly got a buff. Sure I guess.

    Going slayer, getting Brinkmanship and everything around Amplify up there being generous, I have no idea the regular tree. Thats +3 Range and 120% AoE, with 20/20 gem

    Old Range: 15(2.2,1.48)=22

    New:17(2.44,1.56)=27

    Yeeeep a buff. The base got higher, and %.

    Restoring reset skills/Help understand my character

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 12:26 PM PDT

    Good afternoon all,

    I re-downloaded PoE after probably a year and I went to my character (Standard league I think its called) and I found my skills all reset. I briefly searched the internet for a new flame totem build and just gave up feeling a bit overwhelmed.

    Today I was searching around again because I do really want to give it another shot (seeing the Blight trailer caught my eye) and I keep getting confused on what build I should be looking at. My character shows 'Inquisitor' but then my search results say things like 'Templar' or 'Hierophant'. Also, when looking at the skill tree the circle of skills coming off the center 3, the image didnt seem to match any of the builds I looked at.

    Can anyone point me in a direction for flame totems? It's fine if they're not the "meta". I'd just prefer to play something I did before and if I stick with it, delve into something different next month. Also, sorry for the terrible descriptions and silliness of the questions.
