Path of Exile Questions Thread - June 26, 2021

We've had a lot of threads about how horrible trade is, or how harvest needs to be removed or returned to its old version, or how texture streaming makes PoE a powerpoint presentation. In this boring last month before the next league, here's the 5 SMALLEST problems I have with PoE:

1. Increasing Heist job levels doesn't allow equipping higher level items.

This feels like a bug. Huck has level 4 in all jobs due to a +1 tool. A hooded cloak requires level 4 in any job. Huck should be able to equip it, but cannot. Either reword the cloak requirements to "base job level" or let me equip the cloak.

2. Let me hide the stash tab affinity symbol

Affinity symbols take up horizontal space, fitting fewer tabs on screen, making me scroll or click more. I know what tabs have affinity, it's my stash. Move the affinity symbols to the dropdown tab list, where horizontal space doesn't matter.

3. Change the wording on Orb of Horizons to explain "natural map tier", or let it roll any equal tier map on our current atlas

This one is probably controversial since it's insignificant to veteran players. As a noob, I wasted many orbs of horizons trying to find uncompleted maps for my atlas. Though GGG does tell us each league what maps are "natural" to each tier, this system is not mentioned on the orb. The way it works should be made much more clear in-game.

4. Don't let Adept Tracker skip the SEVENTY (70!) extra monster packs

Conqueror tracks can add extra monster packs. I like as many monster packs in my maps as possible. If the 25% chance for extra citadel progress hits on the map before an "extra packs" square, the extra influenced packs are lost. In SSF, those lost packs are lost exalted shards for me. Please put them in the map I just opened, or the next one.

5. Let Atlas region passives work on Zana missions for that region

If Zana gives a map in Glennach Cairns, and Alva spawns in it, none of the Alva atlas passives apply. No chance for an extra room level. No keeping levels if switching to the other architect. I've tested switching architects twice for Alva in a Glennach Cairns mission. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's intended. If atlas map completion can be done in Zana missions, atlas region passives should also apply to maps in that region regardless of how the map is opened.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk and I preemptively apologize for wasting your time with this post.

Possible 3.15 nerfs aside, what's a build that's potentially: 1) an excellent league starter, but 2) also has the ceiling to be scaled to do all endgame content and reach Level 100, and 3) doesn't require very active gameplay unlike slam builds?

Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:18 PM PDT

I've never reached Level 100 before so I think this will be my goal for 3.15. But I just don't want to just keep grinding maps for it, I also want to do some bossing and most other content. Having said that, what build(s) could you suggest that:

Is a good league starter
Past league start, can be scaled do push further and do all endgame content and reach Level 100
Doesn't require a very active gameplay style, unlike slam builds were you have to do something a rotation of cry-cry-slam-slam-cry-slam-slam-slam-flasks-move and on top of that you also need to manage blood rage, ancestral protector, and berserk typically. I'm really fine with 1 or 2 button builds.

Some thoughts on builds I've recently played:

Max Block Bleed Gladiator: I love it. If it were starter viable I'd play it again. But this was my 2nd character this league and I needed the currency to buy a Surrender shield and Ryslatha's Coil for it to really make it pop off and do endgame content.
Carrion Golem Necro: Loved it. Absolutely dominant when I used it for Ritual league. Not sure how strong it still is with the 3.14 nerfs. Would play it again if it has both endgame bossing and Level 100 potential.
Toxic Rain Radier: Love the move speed, but on the less tanky side of builds that I'm usually comfortable with. That's not to say it's squishy. I just hate dying. Also I could never figure out how to maximize my sockets. I felt like I got to a point where Caustic Arrow seemed unnecessary but I didn't know what to do with the 6L it was on.
EDC Trickster: Excellent clear, excellent survivability. Would be perfect outside of the fact that the build has a horrible single-target solution (Blight) which makes it less than ideal for bossing.
BFBB Assassin: Out of the builds mentioned here this is the one I have the vaguest memories of, but I remember really enjoying it offensively: Oblits for clear, CIPs for bosses does the trick. I seem to recall it being a bit squishy though. Not sure if my memory serves me right about that.

In all honesty I want to play a Steel build (shattering, splitting, or lancing). I did find DonTheCrown's Steel build and took it for a run, but now that I've levelled it to endgame (granted, it's still at Level 87), I'm not particularly sure it will hold up in the long run, especially against the endgame bosses. I can still try and pushing it to see, but I'm currently open to other options.

Celestial Toxic Rain not working - bright flashing white light boxes causing headaches

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 04:29 AM PDT

Does anyone have a fix for celestial toxic rain not texture loading? It flashes white like this 10 times within a second, this absolutely cannot be good for my health.

This is happening 100% of the time firing for 1 second. 10 white flashes for firing a couple times.

Pretty unacceptable of GGG to leave, I guess I can ask for a point refund?

Today I got my first ever Headhunter while playing casually since Delirium :D

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 03:02 PM PDT

https://preview.redd.it/t7ehu1kdgh771.jpg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f476b584f9fe7b65c2686724a1c94e10244fb67d

Delirium was the first league I actually played the game after trying to get into it two times.

In the following leagues I always "no-lifed" the first two weeks (but not really, as I was a total noob and total casual not playing "properly") and then making a new character after another, non of them had like more then 3ex invested. So I was never really aquiring any noteworthy amount of currency. Even in harvest league, my greatest achievement was a 3M Poison DPS BV Assassin and a self-crafted explody chest (oh legacy explode, I miss you so much).

So this league I was my richest yet, having like 30-40ex invested in one build and having two others worth 10-20ex. I had not in mind to even be able to have the currency for HH, so I didnt even try to accumulate.

Now, at pretty much the end of the league, I had like ~65ex in my stash, nothing in mind to spend it on other than trying leaguestarters. Then in a Stream someone in the chat said they got their first Headhunter and I was a bit jealous.

I looked at the prices of Doctors and thought maybe I...

Now, what did I do? I bought one doctors, divcard gambled with harvest (sacrifice to double) and it dropped 2... So now, I farmed harvest and gambled until I had 5 and bought the rest (because I was too scared to gamble further and loose all) xD

So now I have a HH, no build that can really benefit from it (have an Ele Hit, but on a really low budget with like 2.7k life etc., thanks Fyregrass; My main being TR Raider...), but I got it xD

Now my goal is to get one next league and make a build for it xD

Flameblast oneshot build?

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 08:02 AM PDT

Can someone help to create flameblast oneshot build (divirgent flameblast, 11 stages and all that), or give the math why it isn't possible? I've tried putting some stuff down on PoB, but the best I've got is 1m hit, and that's pretty low (100% crit chance, so 1m is crit, basically).

How can builds push their DPS into the 50+ or even 100+ Million given enough investment

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 01:48 PM PDT

If I had to guess, most of the damage comes from scaling crit multi, penetration and, depending on the skill, more projectiles. But how can it be that a build with f.e. 100ex invested deals ~20M+ DPS but the same build with 400ex deals 100M+ DPS.

Must a build fulfill specific requirements to be able to achieve those numbers or how are such things done?

This came to my mind when I saw someone posting a 400M DPS Build and also in some guides there is the "mirror tier gear" wich has 10x the damage.

I always wondered how and why people put more than 80-100ex into a single build. (excluding single expensive uniques or so)

When I follow a build and try putting some (for me) perfect rolled gear into the slots in PoB, the highest I got was like 12M DPS for that specific build.

Joined the Eternal Empire Family

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 03:04 PM PDT

Look at that Crema boi

Greetings Exiles

I would like to share my great triumph i managed to complete today. Finally i hit lvl 90 in SSFHC. Maybe for lot of you it is not so special but for me it is great success as i play mainly SC Trade leagues. Also i would like to share my journey and tips for someone who will try to attempt this achievement.

I just want to state that I am casual player with full time job and family - no nolifer. I started to tickle the HC in September 2019 between Legion and Blight leagues (i stared playing PoE in Essence league). Also played HC only when i was done with the league. For me it was mostly last 1-2 weeks before league ending. From start it was mostly runs for fun... I usually get killed by serious act bosses or some stupid mistake (looking at you freeze, stunlock, detonate and explode strongboxes etc.) Also i was used to zoom zoom careless style. So after few tries reach lvl 60 SURVIVOR weren't so hard. Eventually died to Kitava. Then i get back to my CS trade league routine.

At the end of Blight league i give it another try. I managed to pull of lvl 70 UNDYING and finally reached maps with my TR trickster. But not for so long, after few maps i died to some random stuff i neglected. Then the next league was about to begin (Metamorph) and i stopped trying HC. In Delirium i played only 2-3 first weeks then i stopped playing PoE for a while for some personal reasons and lack of free time.

Next tries were at the end of harvest league but i kept dying randomly to my hastiness, stupid mistakes and low awareness of possible hazards. I once hit lvl 79 with icicle miner but died eventually because of some stupid mistake. This continued till Heist league when i managed to pull of lvl 80 IMMORTAL TR Trickster again. I was happily and easily farming maps until i died at lvl 83 in dunes maps due to bleed (yes i was so stupid that i haven't got bleed removal flask in maps in HC). I didn't try HC in Ritual.

As Ultimatum progressed and i don't like it much (due to little PoE burnout, not the mechanic) i start to think again about HC Dream 90. I started TR Raider and had a blast but Merciless Izaro with 1% hp thought it will be fun to oneshot me. I got pissed because everything was so smooth with this char. After short 1 minute grief i thought i never ever played Hiero so i went to poe.ninja and start browsing builds for inspiration. And then i saw MOM Agnostic Cremation Hiero (Never played neither of those mechanics :D). I thought why not? I was surprised how durable and strong this char was. I hit lvl 74 with breeze, including merciless lab, and then died in Feeding Through in Ultimatum.

Then i realized how stupid mistakes a have been doing all along. So i started again... Same Crema Hiero. But this time i focused on slowing down. I started to think more, don't rush things. Not touching rippy mechanics (almost all, my full clearing OCD was screaming). Leveling was easy with gear from his predecessor. Eventually i hit maps. Make sure i got enough of resistances, elemental ailments immunity via ascendancy, partial stun immunity via Brine king, Bleed removal flask and at least 73 defensive layers. I was doing only transmute and go white maps till i hit lvl 80. When i got sulphite i go to delve. I managed to do uber lab at lvl 83. Sweet +4 min endurance and power charges. After that i did first set of conquerors and progressed to yellow maps. I did 2nd set of conquerors and settled on lvl 2 awakening lvl. I was overleveled and pretty well geared so it was ok. I spent a lot of currency to roll out bad mods from maps. But in the end i finally did it. Today hit lvl 90 ETERNAL in SSFHC Ultimate league almost 2 years since first attempts in HC.

Also i would like to give few tips for people who is struggling with dying a lot.

Slow down.

Cap elemental resistances thorough all your leveling process in acts till maps and beyond. Don't forget to rise chaos resist also... at least to low positive numbers

Took preferred movement, guard skill or CWDT setup asap

When assigning passive point prioritize defense over offense

Over-level areas

Avoid rippy mechanics.

Avoid map bosses you are not familiar or ones which hit hard.

Stash good gear for future attempts.

Use craft bench asap.

Don't be afraid to use currency to roll better gear or to hit bearable map mods.

Use Offering of goddess in map device to hunt down missing trials for uber lab.

Take regular breaks. Don't play tired or drunk

Slow down.

Thank you for reading and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Have a nice day.

TLDR;

Today i hit for the first time lvl 90 in SSFHC.

P.S.

Sorry for grammar. English is not my native language.

P.S.2

Looking for group of people for CFT Achievement. Last one i missing to hit 100% completion. You can hit me in Discord (barkezy#2178)

Just starting, how best to spend 200 points on stash tabs (assuming tab sale)?

Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:25 PM PDT

Based on various sources the consensus seems to at minimum always get a currency tab and at least 1 premium tab, but info seems conflicted on the map tab so I can't decide if I need it at the cost of a bunch more tabs.

I think i've come up with two options. Based on the current state of the game (or the upcoming league, if relevant), what do you think is the best way to spend the first 200 points (assuming tab sale)?

Option A (6 tabs): WINNER

Currency Tab
Map Tab
2x Premium Tab upgrade (only 1x is needed if you want to save the last ten points)

Option B (11 tabs):

Currency Tab
Stash Tab Bundle
3x Premium Tab upgrade

I suppose an alternate Option B would be 1x Premium tab upgrade and 1 extra stash tab.

Am I on the right track? Almost twice as many tabs including 3 premium seems like a good idea, but I've never seen late game mapping.

Edit #1:

For anyone waiting with bated breath for closure on my decision, I went with Option A based on pretty strong consensus that the Map Tab is life changing later on.

Also for anyone else new, be sure to take advantage of the New Blood deal when buying points as it gets you an extra stash tab.

Edit #2:

Thanks everyone for the input, it has been helpful for me and no doubt will be for others like me.

I'll add that strong candidates for follow up purchases (for the next round of points) appear to be:Fragment Tab > Divination Tab/Quad Tab

League Start group self found / small economy groups

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 07:09 AM PDT

Are there any groups out there that regularly do group self found / small economy? I am looking for a group like that after I participated in 773's ascendant only league.

Realized I was missing something big. Huge QoL over either Trade or SSF.

I think that slipperyjim8 did one this league? Was that public? Any other notable groups that do this and are they open to new members for the coming league?

Hi everyone, i'm struggling a little...

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 04:22 PM PDT

Hi all, i'm struggling with the game a bit. I have read to install loot filters and follow a guide, but still keep on dying and some bosses just destroy me. Currently on act 6 but getting instantly deleted, sometimes even with normal minions in the levels.

Someone recommended enki ark witch are there any other good recommendations maybe a new player build that is for melee or something? I don't like to be so squishy.

Thank you but loving the game so far, there is so much to learn i am quite overwhelmed every time it pops up

What's your favorite POE trailer??

Posted: 24 Jun 2021 07:52 PM PDT

I LOVE PoE trailers. The music and the voice acting is always so epic and makes me so hyped. I listen and rewatch them often. What's your favorite PoE trailer? Mine has got to be PoE 2 trailer 2 (ok kinda cheating), or PoE Ascendancy Trailer.

Colouring sockets with jeweler's orbs

Posted: 25 Jun 2021 05:41 AM PDT

Hi. I tried to roll 4 blue sockets on a Lions pelt using jeweler's at the crafting bench. Got the first 3 without problem but ended up loosing all my ~200 jewelers on the fourth one without success. Is it possible to roll 4 B on a dex item with that method? I have heard it's supposed to be a 10% chance to hit an of colour. Decided to use harvest craft to solve the issue but remain curious for upcoming crafts.

Thanks in advance!

TR Raider is the best "no need to look at map mods" build?

Posted: 24 Jun 2021 11:43 PM PDT

Seems like TR can do a lot more damage than ED/C, Raider has a lot of qol things like speed, don't need to spend a lot of currency to do t16 mapping and some other stuff I cant think of now, and I don't know about how tanky TR Raider is but for mapping it should be one of the best without needing to worry about the map mods except maybe no mana regen map which a enduring mana flask can take care of with no problem?
