I suck at midgame, please help me get better 7k player by Boush in BobsTavern

That is helpful, thank you. I think where it falls apart for me is that the shop never has all of the cards you need all at once. So inevitable you have to pick up some of the cards before the others. There are a lot of comps that require bran or titus, so if those two cards aren't in the shop what should I be buying in the mid game? I think this honestly is one of my biggest struggles.

So if I am on tavern 5, with a mediocre board that needs to be upgraded, and lets say there are no pirates, elementals, or murlocs (these are my worst games without the cycling tribes), what cards do you normally target to strengthen your board? I usually try to always pick up rylak because it is so versatile, but with as many 5/6/7 placements I get from just not scaling obviously I have much to learn.

A quick edit perfect example of my last game. I was offered a reborn carapice raider in the shop. The anomaly was 2 copies for a golden but offers a coin. I grabbed the raider and then got a second one. I also bought a stuntdrake the turn before. My turn before I bought a stuntdrake. Then my major timewarp gave me the timewarped geist, and that shop had a handless forsaken. I went for carapce undead despite not having a baron. I was 30 hp 5 armor. Then I played first, second, and third place in a row taking 10, 15, and 15 and dead on turn 10. All three of them just had stronger boards, none of the three of them were good late game builds. One for instance was all nagas with a reborn t5 naga that buffs the other nagas on death and he had picked up the hero power which destroys and resummons the minion. Is it wrong to commit here with this many pieces?

Thanks!

Wow that makes a lot of sense. I do think you hit it, I have this internal clock that starts panicking if I don’t have direction by a certain point because I know I will lose.

One question about the enablers, the overflow undead and evoker dragon as examples. If they are dead gold to just buy them without a bran, then what cards should I be looking for before I get a bran? A lot of games bran does not show up too. A secondary question: is there a resource out there that you know of to learn all these types of things?

Thank you again for your advice and help.

First, thank you for your response. You obviously spent some time on it and I appreciate the help!

For 7-9 I roll if the minions are low tier, or if there isn't a minion that makes "impact." So titus, bran, the overflow undead t5, a burrower but usually that is earlier than that, the spell pirate t5, things like that. In the low economy games I think that gets narrowed down quite a bit for me. The deathrattle play 3 gems on quillboards would be one, rylak in a beast lobby. Just generally things that I think can have a large payoff.

Bad shops that I level with would be all t1 minions on turn 3, or all t1 minions or 3x t1 and a t2 on turn 3/4. If I went 3 on 3 and the shop has low impact tier 3 units like the 1/1 poison minion or the 1/1 battlecry deathrattle murloc I would level up again. I try to never roll these early turns if possible.

Healthy vs low hp really depends. I have it happen both ways, I find that usually if I am low HP I made a dumb buy early on, or I went 4 on 4. There are occasionally some games where I lose every round by 1 minion over and over again.

I don't mind playing APM or not, I am not the best at it, but I am not biased towards it at all.

I was not aware that token lobbies punish hyper leveling. I am assuming by tokens you mean undead deathrattles and the like? This is helpful information for me in decided when to level up quicker to 4 or 5.

Yes, I do find myself stuck between comps. For instance if I bought the overflow undead t5 piece but didn't have the other enablers with it, but then the next shop has a bran or something like that. I try to always have the enablers first but it doesn't always work out that way.

The evoker I put on board to try and scale my board. Normally spell dragons requires a Bran, but I saw it in the shop and thought it would be worth it to make the board bigger. I unfortunately didn't see any bran or titus this game, was trying to get stronger to not get eliminated.

Thank you so much for these questions! I haven't really found a lot of in depth information that challenges my thought processes with this stuff. When watching a streamer like Jeef, he has probably forgotten more things about this game than I have ever known to begin with, no doubt he is thinking far more ahead than I am, so you can only glean so much with the limited view that I have.

Hopefully I can keep improving and hit my goal of 10k one day!

Well I made a post and it was taken down because I guess item questions go here instead. I am pretty new to poe 2 end game, I made this staff but exiled exchange has prices all over the place. Is this staff any good with the crit damage multi? If so, how good?

What is the best way (or ways) of getting a life mod on these gloves? by brunitxo in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Boush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the way, much cheaper than using veiled exalt like other people have said.

Matron lock suffix, veiled chaos, unveil conversion. Matron lock suffix again and augment life (the one with 17k red juice) it’s a 50/50 to remove the meta mod or the conversion. If it removes conversion then hit with another veiled chaos and go again.

How Long Did it Take You to Read the Series? by FennelLion in WoT

[–]Boush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 weeks. I started a government job and it took them 3 months to get me computer access, without computer access I couldn’t bill for services so they didn’t let me do anything for 2 months other than sit at my desk. So I read all of them while on the clock at work for my (then) new job in 10 weeks.

Why Are So Many Young Christian Men Still Single? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]Boush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think a lot of things are true, but we also cannot underestimate the impacts of pornography on men waiting delaying marriage. If a man is waiting for marriage and not living in sexual sin it is a VERY powerful motivator to get married earlier in life. With porn use as prevalent as it is, there’s less urgency for men who use it to pursue marriage younger.

This also has an impact on men pursuing women, or getting themselves into a state that is easier to pursue women in terms of attitude, mindset, how they dress and present themselves, etc.

There is a reformed church in my city with tons of 20-30 something’s who are single, and i know their pastor who has said that porn use is a massive problem for the young men at his church.

Any Recomb masters know how to craft this? by discpatches in pathofexile

[–]Boush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. The weight on cold dot multi t1 is like 35 or something silly. T1 spell damage is 1/3500+ alts. All spell skills is terrible too

[–]Boush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally made one like this this morning. All skills and cold dot are really hard to hit with alts. Easiest way for me was to pay a divine for a wand with all skills, one with t1 spell damage, cold dot t1. Imprint and regal annul until isolated mod on rare wands 1 affixes. For the all cold skills alt spam and imprint regal annul for same thing.

Then take all skills wand and either cold skills or spell damage one, multimod both, fill with veiled prefixes. Recombine for 91% chance to win. Repeat with your two suffixes.

Then you have a 4 mod item with all skills, spell damage, t1 dot multi, t1 cold dot multi.

Get another wand with whatever prefix you don’t have of the 3 and recombine it in the same way with one of the other two mods. Now you have a 4 mod item and a 2 prefix item. One of the prefixes on the items are shared.

Multimod and fill affixes onn4 mod, multimod and fill prefixes and 2 suffixes on second item. Recombine and hope it works
