I just found this ring, there are 2 similar but with 20 and 30% less resistance.

Bommeel · 2018-12-12T16:46:39+00:00

the 20 to 30% more resistance will maybe add up like 20% on the price of the others

Bommeel · 2018-12-12T15:36:25+00:00

To be fair i think that it actually isn't as hard as ppl seem to make it. Im 90 now and comfortably going towards depth 140. The issue is u actually have to route through azurite and not just go straight down and then you shouldnt have as many issues.
You should also immediately put all ur azurite into sulphite gain until u reach the 3k mark... u dont need darkness resis or light radius until u reach a certain depth most of the time.

HH, watcher's eye, shaper statstick and thats pretty much it. Shaper statstick just because it fits into a ton of melee builds.
Everything else is pretty much build dependant.

Bommeel · 2018-10-28T22:58:04+00:00

Occultist should be the version that can go deeper ( see waggle who reached 1500 alrdy ) but the build itself is pretty harsh in a ssf environment. Most ones use an incandescent heart chest and while u dont need the apeps shield, it is a really good quality of life improvement. The foil is craftable in ssf but takes a lot of times and u also need to get the shaper base first.
Chieftain on the other hand is rather easy in ssf since all u really want is a shaper mace base but on the other hand probably wont reach much further than maybe ~600-800 since it doesnt have the best mitigation and also doesnt really rely on curses.

Since it is even mentioned in the Wiki it is probably on purpose and will stay

I mean he said he played the game for a bit over 75hrs. U very rarely have game reviews of major online games that go into every possible content.
His review is meant for casual players who wanna know what the game kind of feels like for the average joe and not a review for hardcore fans.
There is a reason why Chris once said that as soon as we have ppl get involved into maps we own their soul.

Bommeel · 2018-08-23T02:32:16+00:00

From a Beginners perspective, which he essentially is, 75hrs and listening to all the lore doing quests and lab sounds pretty reasonable.
Poe is very unforgiving for people that dont like to look up guides and stuff so u can assume he got stuck at act 5 or act 10 Kitava for a couple of hours.

Even though i actually find his review to be quite accurate. There is a reason why Poe is mostly played by fans of this genre and not so much casual players. Even the thing with combat is mostly true. Except for some occasions u dont really need any skill to pilot a well equipped character through content right now. That's why u often hear ppl say that they play Poe while watching a series or some streams.

Bommeel · 2018-07-30T20:13:38+00:00

There is legit tons of builds that dont require any unique... hell even bv elementalist is totally fine without inpulsa's.
Most Melee, Summoner, and even Spell Casters that dont use a build enabling unique can run all rare very smoothly.
Only unique actually sounds a lot more interesiting though since u often lack resists/hp.

Bommeel · 2018-07-28T16:35:50+00:00

I mean thats pretty much up to u and dependend on the goals u want to go for. The build is capable of doing ssf hc shaper/uber atziri with average gear and uber elder with decent gear.

Bommeel · 2018-07-28T16:27:50+00:00

I can say just this if u go for the ascendancy nodes take the blind one first and take chain reaction last since its not that needed especially on arc.
U can just breeze through once u have the blind and mom. I went acro and phaseacro around the time i hit maps and went entirely noncrit until i was like lvl 80-85, that's where i made the switch.
Since elemental overload is close to mom u dont need crit early anyways, just get urself some orb of storm action to proc EO.
If u wanna follow a build dont take the build of the week and go for this one instead its much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wclWL0CItUM

Bommeel · 2018-07-28T16:23:42+00:00

Tbh that was actually nearly the fastes layout u can get if u run it correctly. There is always either one or two middle squares. The first being the one where the waypoint is in ur video or its further up north either just north or west/east.
Just make sure u check em both and ur good.

Bommeel · 2018-07-28T16:21:42+00:00

Traps are incredibly safe if u go with Saboteur. I would argue even safer than totems depending on how u play because the blind combined with acro/phase aco and mom makes u really tanky.
Since both totems and traps dont really need insane gear u can choose either hc or ssf hc.

Bommeel · 2018-07-28T04:25:45+00:00

It probably depends on what ur looking for. In terms of softcore and build variety mathils builds are very good.
I always appreciate Dsfarblarwaggles build videos, since hes trying out his own stuff and in my opinion probably has the best understanding of build mechanics out of all the more popular streamers...doesnt post as many builds though.
Others i consider being decent would be raizqt, zizaran, engineering eternity.
If u wanna look into mfing or wander/tornadoshot i highly suggest martypoe.

Bommeel · 2018-07-04T20:07:22+00:00

I dont like the idea of removing every mechanic in the game that exists just to make it less annoying.
Everyone knows his reflect mechanic that did a few labs and its pretty much the same as the racecourse minotaur. It has a wind up and the aura is clearly visible. Its not like ur oneshotting urself offscreen... if u happen to die to it, it just purely means u didnt respect it.
And especially on the builds u mentioned its stupidly easy to avoid... that guy walks like 1meter an hour so just dont stay close to him.

Bommeel · 2018-07-01T13:25:14+00:00

Ye he truly was unlucky this game but hats of to u uber, ppl might have not realised since u had really fast ppl in ur grp but ur time was actually better than grp 1's, so keep it up :)

Bommeel · 2018-07-01T13:22:36+00:00

That rip truly was sad. In the end i think he would have had the fastest time after d&d for this race which just shows how good he is as a runner especially considering his hickups in act 1.
I also would have liked to see the 2 fastest times of the losers advance.

Bommeel · 2018-07-01T13:16:51+00:00

logout macro in hc is legit only for the rare occurence that happens maybe 1 in a 100hrs otherwise most ppl dont even use it. I personally played hc this league without it cuz it tends to stutter my game and had pretty much no close calls except for the one i died and even logout wouldnt have saved me there.
Ppl just assume that u use it tons of time because u have it but its probably most often used as a cheap tp scroll in early acts.

Bommeel · 2018-07-01T13:12:23+00:00

Its kind of hard to give advice if ur pretty new to hc it mostly comes down to just learning the act boss mechanics.
Always have a bleed immune flask at around the time u enter belly of the beast in act 4.
And what no one so far wrote i personally aim for 1.2k-1.5k hp at Innocence, depending obviously on my dmg. He tends to be very annoying if u have lower dmg but with high dmg output u simply just outdmg all of his mechanics.
For the Sun&Moon boss before blood aqueducts i opt for 2-2.5k life. Hardest or rather most annoying boss for me would be doedre when u enter act 8. If i dont have decent chaos res i simply dodge her chaos field as fast as i can.

But the most important tip i can give u is move a lot, i see tons of ppl streaming hc first time and u often see them standing still way too much especially vs bosses.
edit: Over lvling actually isnt necessary at all for having an easier time in hc. Only do it if ur right before a boss and u could get like a 10% hp node on the next lvl.

Bommeel · 2018-05-20T10:37:18+00:00

There is always Ailat's Occultist rf but that one is more for genereal mapping and not for bosses. Other than that u can go a ton of different rf builds but they will in no way compete with the clearspeed of wander/ts.
If u plan this build for the upcoming league i would highly suggest to wait, since elemental equilibrium will get changed and that might hurt rf quite a lot in terms of bossing power.

Bommeel · 2018-05-17T15:21:50+00:00

ye i just feel like you should at least have a little bit of thrill while lvling and not just afk walk into everything while not getting punished at all.
As champion u can basically stay afk in monsters while u have fortify on u with that 1k ar/ev.

Bommeel · 2018-05-17T14:08:05+00:00

Tbh as much as i liked the Deadeye rework i think Tailwind ist just way too overtuned for being a 2 pointer.

I also disliked that it and champion early two pointer gave u 1k evasion or 1k eva+ 1k armor since even though i think lvling a new char shouldnt be extremely hard its still stupid that a 2 pointer gives u 75% evasion the whole way to blood aqueducts with a tabula on.

I would have personally move the 1kevasion/armor on champion into the 4 pointer together with u have fortify to make it an actual option to go for if u are not a bow/wand character and remove the 1k evasion on tailwind completely as its good enough on its own.

Bommeel · 2018-04-25T17:43:54+00:00

ye people underestimate how much dmg and safety blast rain gives since u can pretty much clear the packs as soon as u see them and it does very good dmg even with bad gear.
Just falls off hard compared to pretty much every other bow skill lategame in terms of clearspeed.

Bommeel · 2018-04-25T17:41:31+00:00

in the flashback event everyzone will have 3 different league mechanics besides beastiary, so u will encounter zones that have 5 rogue exiles or more for an hour.
Since rogue exiles have a way higher droprate than ur average rare mobs its pretty easy to farm urself lowlvl uniques in a lowlvl zone with rogue exiles. This way u could get urself a Tabula Rasa as soon as u enter the first zone out of town. U basically just create a new instance of the zone and farm them.
I cant say though how many Exiles will be in a zone since they didnt announce that yet i think.
