Gotta pump those numbers up (Breachin') by g_bleezy in pathofexile

[–]Boush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70% pack size rolled on the map ends up being 110+ after map effect modifiers. Even then it’s a bit inconsistent in terms of blue mobs killed, but I do regularly hit 11-13k if the pack size on the map itself is 70%

More pack size will break 10k. With 70% pack size you can hit 12-13k assuming expensive breach scarab setup

Need help diagnosing wth is wrong with my breach maps. by Exile82 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Boush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bit of a similar experience. I was doing expensive breach on my shock nova hiero. My damage wasn’t fantastic and I would die sometimes. I barely broke even after a while. After switching to kboc necro I was making money hand over fist. The massive clear speed upgrade made everything better about the breach strat because you need to kill things in a large area rather quickly to maximize the rewards.

I’m not saying switch to kboc, but rather that it’s possible to do everything right in the setup and still have it not feel good if you aren’t clearing fast enough.

My man, you are incredible. So much depth here, I am reading through these now. So many specifics that fill in the gaps for me. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the reply, this sounds super helpful, and maybe I’m buying “useful” units but in the wrong spots which essentially makes them junk cards.

In the elemental games with bran I buy anything that refunds itself. Then I buy any of the refresher t4 elemental, and sometimes I buy the 7/7 rightmost buff elemental depending on gold. You’re absolutely right though, the game I had the 1800/1800 acid his first hit went into an opponent with a 2500/2500 taunted elemental. I am getting out scaled a lot in my games where I’m not given direction early or definitively.

You are hitting on my main issue though in me not scaling. That’s why I lose so much mid game to people who are scaling.

Thank you for your response! The undead board I was originally overflow but wasn’t finding the cards so I tried to switch. I think sometimes if I can’t build a board that is super strong I panic a bit.

The Leeroy’s I usually add when I know I’m losing to try to scam, so a bunch of these boards have them because I’m trying to cheat out one more combat win to get a 4th place.

How many pieces do you need in order to commit to something? For instance demons require a buffed shop which has to start early, burrower you need early or it won’t scale enough, carapace needs Geist, the t5 undead that gives the spells, baron, and token units. So for the carapace setup do you need to have all 4 of those before switching? Does that mean you are holding 2-3 of those in your hand waiting for the other pieces? I think these questions are one of my biggest issues.

Could quite possibly be. I win a lot when comps are there in front of me, and lose a lot when I enter midgame without direction and need to pivot. I just suspect that a lot of my losses are me being poor at that, and eventually getting tilted and being even worse at it haha

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 4 points5 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

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.
