[Megathread] Path of Exile

[Lorgar Aurelian]

So messing around with the new assassin and shield throw, planning on going perfect agony, and like is there a crit multi your suppose to stop at with it?

I'm already at 600 multi while still in the acts and I was planning on putting in Tecord's gaze and a Lightpoachers but now i'm wondering if this is over kill for the multi.

Light poacher with all damage can poison though seems like a no brainer.

I guess my homebrewed version of KF is more scuffed than what others are doing. Functionally, I am like 90% of the way there with fewer hours invested.



So much tech.

this is easier than i thought, actually. just need more ragrets and to level some gems a bit and I don't even need uniques or anything. don't even need GMP lol.

in other news



excuse me all minion skill gems? i might have to go some flavor of poison minions. shame about the colors on my krangled skin of the loyal, too many reds but it's got 20% quality instead of +1 gem level

edit: a few maps in and so far i am converted to the church of kinetic salvo

[Gorsameth]

hmm, downside to my build (KRoImpact) i did not consider

i cannot see a fucking thing

did the new bosses by accident without gigadps in a map i absolutely overjuiced not realizing it

i can tell you only two things that killed me (big telegraphed slams) because could identify the voice line the preceeded it

i cannot tell you anything else that killed me because my entire scree is covered in attack effects

i may need to reconsider this...

I watched Ben play some Kinetic Blast of Clustering...
Complete madness, literally can't see anything

Yeah, my version is kinda trash by comparison. LOL

That I made it this far should say something about how KF melts content.

KB/VD has always been like that- the literal clusterfuck shell.

What are you kineticists doing for defenses? Feel like I need to beef mine up.

Evasion/Suppression and Barkskin on Warden, plus leech for sustain. Basic, and still a bit squishy, but functional.

Block/Suppression/Stone Golem. 6 portals.

depends on what kind you are.
Necro has easy block via offering, Elementalist has Golem, Bastion of Elements and Shaper of Flames. Heiro has Mind over Matter.
Frost Shield and Arcane cloak gems.

And ofc the greatest defence of all, kill everything from offscreen.

i hope that's a low roll on the utala's because holy shit 1200es is absolutely nothing lmao

hopefully these are just some throwaway ones, because these largely look like ass. meme headhunter is funny, at least.

i'm delving to try to find aul to try his ascendency out for silliness, forgot how comfy delve can be even if missing out on the league mechanic does suck

CTRL-F "Mageblood"

The madlads did it, they added foulborn mageblood. It's glorious.

In other news, found a Woespike and was struck by a sudden urge to play an impale Champ build and weirdly ended up on Cyclone which I haven't played in age. Should be interesting.

[Fencers]

What? The rucksack was a bug? How... I thought that was a new feature.

What is this shit, Mark?

[Edge-]

Ok the tree is my best friend. Leveling my Champ for shits and giggles and just dumping blood on the tree on low level gifts. Fuckin level 38 gift gives a 20 stack of divines. I've already been fairly lucky on SSF (Tujen sold me like 8 lmao) so I'm super set for any metacrafting I guess lol.

[NoiseTank13]

I hate Sanctum. I despise it. Trying to get the Lycia Bloodline for Profane Ground on my KF Witch, turns out she has an attack that just instakills you. Resolve gone, health gone even with level 71. What a shit.

[Fencers]

The Lycia bloodline is a trap. People posting screens of 30x div drops, trap. 100 dv/hrs Sanctum farm videos, traps.

Sanctum is a trap.

[Edge-]

Sanctum is a trap.

I almost made it through the campaign without accidentally clicking on the NPC for the stupid quest. Almost.

I was almost tempted to try my my Fusilade character. Almost

Fuck Sanctum now and forever. Awful. Hate it. Design is fine and all, I just hate it.

[Fencers]

Never click that quest. Never pick up the books. Turn it off in the Atlas.

Everything about Sanctum is designed to trick you.

tree continues to be bonkers, gave me a kauri chopper with t1 flat phys, % phys, fractured crit chance, and attack speed. slapped on attack speed while rare/unique is near and now to wait for an infused exalt/pray for %phys/accuracy to make it truly absurd. prob the best 2h axe/weapon i've had and the tree just handed it to me lmao.

i have a lot more scaling to do and i'm kinda freehand figuring this out as i go (i'm impale/crit right now), but again...i've missed how insanely comfy cyclone is. just hold right click and win. surprisingly tanky on my champ too now that i've actually got a bit of spell suppress.

This is indeed a great league for SSF. I'm hoping I find some GG caster item now since I've been wanting to make one for a hot second.

[Fencers]

I am about to start a bleed slammer. Just because the tree is so... fruitful. I gotta do something with all these 2hs.

[Edge-]

I haven't even really finished my cyclone character at all (strong enough for most pinnacle bosses easily, at least) but...

why am i now thinking of a cold snap of power hierophant? i got one of the foulborn tul's wands with +4 all cold spells and that skill scales like crazy with gem levels

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cold_Snap_of_Power

20-24 is doubling the damage already, and ive got a +1 shield laying about and it's not too hard to craft a decent +1 amulet, putting me at a comfy 3.6-5.5k base damage...chunky. if i can get another that potentially gets to level 30 for fucking 6-9k fucking base damage what the fuck. sure you lose shield benefits but good lord what the absolute fuck that amount of damage to scale from feels criminal.

scale big crit since crit is mandatory to keep the skill active. i might be stupid for skipping charges, but take the arcane surge nodes for big cast speed/mana regen/more spell dmg with some bonus nodes in the tree + aoe (needed to cover the screen) + life leech. anoint light eater for ES leech and will need to get glorious vanity for corrupted soul. split damage between life/ES and benefit from dual leech. Mana nodes for a mixture of damage (transfiguration of mind), defense with mind over matter (at 50%) to further split incoming damage, even more ES without needing to invest super heavily in it via gear, and more AoE even if some mana ends up being reserved for discipline or something if necessary.

i feel like it should be there - can basically freeze everything with mondo hits so mapping should be pretty easy, though i'm sure i'll need more in the way of defenses/mitigation somehow.

edit/update: y'all...i have a glorious vanity and a few divines later (i still have 30 lmao, fucking tree and tujen, bro) i now have the correct one for corrupted soul. there are no other real required items/uniques. i'm making my third character already. what the fuck is this league, initially i was not into it. i haven't even finished my fucking watchstones yet because i've been too lazy to do maven and shaper for uber elder lmao

edit 2: and double shit, I have two of the +4 wands lmao. can even cheese it with the +1 cold skills mastery/-30% fire res, i'm making this stupid shit fucking happen lmao
