Path of Exile Questions Thread - June 27, 2021

After playing for years and leagues I've reached a character cap so that's always painful do delete old characters. It feels bad because I'd like to leave some of the very first characters I've played but also I wouldn't want to delete previous well geared and leveled characters that I had a great time playing on.

For my location character slots are too expensive to buy, the default 24 slots is a good number but after a few years of leagues, playing multiple characters per league you would really run out of them and I think in a future more and more people who have played long would encounter this problem.

Gating reward behind 24-36 league challenges would ensure that it would be hard and unwise to abuse the system, also it shouldn't cause much load if once per 3 month some % of people could create additional character for free.

For those ones who do challenges this far it would be a great reward that they already do or likely will need in a future, and for other players it could be additional motivation for playing the game and completing challenges as well.

Can we get experimental tech now? Before new league?

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 04:28 AM PDT

I don't know, it seems that this moment would be ideal to test eg texture streaming 2.0 And it can be patched before new season.

Crazy idea. I know.

Angler's Plait drop

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 01:25 PM PDT

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1upVT8eN24 (don't mind the audio I had Forsen's stream open)

Character snapshot: https://pastebin.com/8sYhXma9

Map information: https://imgur.com/a/mFAJSBo

I was inspired by the earlier thread where someone got this is in ssf. Logged in, bought a 21/23 chance to flee, double corrupted slitherpinches and went to farm for a plait without much of a strategy. This was around an hour in.

It looks like one of the strongbox rares dropped it. The ring is ilvl 75 and the area level is 73. It's hard to get more information because I shatter so no corpses.

Angler's Plait dropped from temple in SSF

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 05:49 AM PDT

Hello, first time posting here.

just want to share some quick info.

Note that I'm playing on Garena Taiwan server, which is identical to the GGG servers besides languages. League was Ultimatum SC SSF.

It dropped from a rare mob in the temple "Sanctum of Immortality" room.

Proof : https://imgur.com/a/AuJ4iOc

PoB at the time : https://pastebin.com/tWuKB7U5

I have a corrupted slitherpinch equipped, with my clearing ele-hit setup linked with a 20/23 chance to flee.

temple rooms : https://imgur.com/a/cg1Rj6O

full list of temple rooms in English:

Factory

Poison Garden

Locus of Corruption

Chasm

Hall of War

Gemcutter's Workshop

Breach Containment Chamber

Sanctum of Immortality (Where the plait drops)

Sanctum of Unity

Apex of Ascension

Vault

-----------------

Apex of Atzoatl (Blocked)

Overall an extremely lucky find, since I only farmed for about 5-6 days. And it dropped when I'm rerolling a proper mapping build (ele-hit raider) to farm maps faster lol.

Hope the info helps, cheers!

Why don't summoners use mines?

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 06:40 PM PDT

Storm last mines with 0 support can increase enemy damage taken by 45% isn't that a massive buff? Why is it something I never see mentioned, am I misunderstanding something about how mine auras work?

Tips for finding builds for the upcoming league. (Satire)

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 08:26 AM PDT

For those unaware, the new league will begin within the next few weeks. Usually its in the middle of the month and on a Friday so not a lot of dates to speculate from. But as a gentlemen, I will not commit to a single date without GGG's full consensual consent.

Preamble

Please note that any build can work and reach endgame.

The definition of endgame is different for everyone; and therefore I would like to define a couple of endgame options.

Bossing: These builds tend to focus on one thing and that is to splatter all your juiced power onto a single target.
Clearing: These builds are usually focused on going from one group to another whilst swinging down your weapon until the whole map is covered in bodily fluids.
League-specific: There are certain builds that excel in certain league mechanics. For example, some people dive deep into the depths of delve league to farm fossils and other loot. Or idle in blight league where you focus on killing mob of enemies that spawn and try to destroy your pump.

There are plenty of end-game options to choose from and its usually based on a couple things. How well your build can successfully complete it and how much you enjoy it. If you play trade-league, you can ignore the latter. This is because its better to specialize in one area and maximize your profits rather than scratching the surface of every league mechanic.

On a final note: Mods feel free to mark this with any tags that you deem necessary.

Define the type of person you are!

There are hundreds of skills to choose from and some may not even come from a skill gem! First figure out the play style you prefer to play.

Some people enjoy to go fast and go in an out - of maps. On the other hand, people prefer to go slow around areas and enjoy the scenery. The majority of you all fall into the former. The latter I'm not entirely sure exists but for the sake of not excluding anyone I added this.

Another popular build defining "feature" is buttons. There is a lot of buttons in this game from flasks, dubious ToS macros, skills, picking up items, etc.. For as long as I have played this, this is the one area that GGG has failed to nerf.

For the sake of maximizing damage, people will activate all sorts of skills, PoB configurations, flasks and whatever else so that every finger on both hands feels hypothetically impactful. Only exception are war cry slam builds, which are slow and methodical but gives a feeling of ecstasy when that big boom comes.

On the other hand, people prefer to use only a finger or two because its a more pleasurable experience than trying to cram every finger - onto the keyboard. But don't be discouraged on missing out possible damages because chances are you are clearing just as well; And the only difference between you and the former is their ego.

Unfortunately the type of button player you are depends entirely on which you prefer, irl damage sustained from previous playthroughs, and age.

Just remember to browse through the skills list and find one you may enjoy. Once you find one, make sure to give thanks to GGG for nerfing it for next league.

You chose a skill that you like, what next?

Congratulations! The next thing is to download and install the second half of the game: Path of Building Fork. For those unaware, this tool is vital for many of the following reasons:

Finding the most effective skill tree path to maximize damage and forgetting that defenses exist only to post to r/PathOfExileBuilds about why you are dying so much.
Creating and editing new items that you will never get.
Increasing ego after pressing and activating every PoB configuration and posting onto the official path of exile forum build section.
Deny all questions regarding how damage is unrealistic and angrily fight back in the comments.
Start to turn off configuration slowly and become further depressed proportional to how much your dps drops.
Finally accept the fact that whatever you build is going to suck and that you should open up Path of Exile build section and find your skill. Unfortunately, human attention span dictates that you open up youtube instead too look for your skill.

Fortunately for you its not a bad thing at all because some youtube video guides are excellent because they give you a way league start, why they chose their specific gear, and you get a wonderful preview of your skill in action. I also got some tips to keep in mind while you watch the build guide:

Ensure that the version of the game in the video is somewhat close to the current version of the game.
Go to the description of the video and find the pastebin link. Then go to "Import/Export", "Import from Pastebin", and cope-paste the pastebin link into the window and click "import".
A good go-to channel for builds are zizaran, raizqt, mathil, alkaizerx, for more please proceed to the comment section of this post because most likely someone is going to argue for their favorite streamers.
Finally, zoom out of the video and write down number of views the video has and turn it into a percentage using the following formula. 100 views equal 1%. For example 139,456 views equates to 1394%. Multiply the cost of every item in the video with that percentage and that is the real cost of the build. Interestingly you can also use the percentage multiplier to calculate the odds of it getting nerfed.

You got our skill, build, only one thing to do!

You found what you are going to play and you are no longer going to add onto one of the many "Help me find my build posts" on the r/pathofexile subreddit. Hold your horses though because you still have one important date that you need to pay attention to. 'Twas the week before league start, that the patch notes are revealed.

Open up patch notes.
"ctrl" + "f" on Windows. "cmd" + "f" on Mac.
Type in your skill. If you don't see any results, then success you made it past GGG's nerf hammer. If you do see results, then don't bother reading it because its certainly a nerf. After that refer to this guide and start from the beginning.

Also don't forget to open up the r/pathofexile subreddit, open up the stickied announcement thread, don't read and skip the comment section and copy paste the following to the format below.

GGG!?!?! WHY NERF_______ . GAME DEAD.

"Harvest crafting", "Boss Loot", "Talisman", *Insert Skill*, "RaizQT's mental", "Bex ability to communicate", "racing".

A totem for Melee Skills

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 01:00 PM PDT

Hello reddit,

Currently in POE we have a support gem for totems to cast spells (Spell Totem) and a support gem that can use bow/wand attacks (Ballista Totem). Would you like to see a similar support gem for melee attacks aswell, perhaps in the same line as ancestral totems? I think the design space is certainly there but I have no clue how it would be balanceable. I sure that this has been brought up before but I still think it would be very cool to be able to build around.

Thoughts?

Now that Sacred Blossoms are a thing...

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 05:52 PM PDT

...Can we maybe have Oshabi stick around for a bit longer than she does now, instead of becoming one with the Grove immediately after your very first Harvest?

I'm very much a person who enjoys the lore and characters of the game, so I've been finding the way that some characters are implemented in the game after their dedicated league to be a bit strange.

An earlier of this I can recall is Jun - In her league she grew to know you and eventually felt comfortable telling you about her order and the Forbidden Vault by the time A9 rolled around. However, the time between her meeting you and her telling you about her secret order is less than half an hour.

Oshabi is definitely worse about this, though. As she stands right now, you only have a single chance to talk to her before your first Harvest, after which all of her dialogue is permanently inaccessible. In addition, this cuts off half of her dialogue (The end-of-Harvest quips) due to her no longer being present. Also - To anyone who's got All Ears since Harvest went core, does this have the capability of bricking your ability to get that achievement? Because if so, this is another thing that a change could solve.

I feel it would be better to have the whole "The Grove calls me" sequence to be initiated by you obtaining your first Blossom - It would also be a helpful indicator to newer players of where to get that specific boss if it had a quest associated with it.

Has anyone played or plays with an ergonomic mouse (i.e. vertical mouse)?

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 07:58 AM PDT

Title.

I'm thinking about buying one mostly for work related hand and wrist strains (office management + amateur day trader), and i wandered if anyone has an opinion on using a vertical mouse for Poe, for reducing wrist stress.

Would you like if there was a melee skill you could use with your wand?

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 09:46 AM PDT

I thought it would be cool to have wand melee skills. lets call them "kinetic blade" and "kinetic hammer". Both scaling with spell damage and wand damage, kblade beign a strike skill scaling with sword mods, and khammer a slam scaling with mace mods. Too OP?

Edit: what i mean Is creating an "Energy weapon" on skill use, your wand beign just the grip of the Energy weapon

How to gear for starting endgame?

Posted: 26 Jun 2021 07:04 PM PDT

Basically i've been playing for like 3 days ish with my friends after picking up the game and giving up a few times in the past. I've managed to complete Act 10, however, all the guides i can find on starting the endgame say to run the Maps that drop randomly. I can not even begin to attempt the Tier 1 maps as i get absolutely nuked by random trash. I barely made it through Act 10, what should i do to farm better gear to start going at Maps with? Do i just go back a few acts and farm something i can do comfortably? Should i be trying to figure out crafting and just crafting shit items until they're decent?
