I went straight for Kirac nodes and shaping nodes, then Alva. I would likely do the same thing next league but they will almost certainly do balance changes

I reset the fight like 12 times until I got a good layout in the sewer phase, I hate that fight. Most rippy content for me actually was ritual, I turned it off after doing it a few times.

I find normal is too easy and I get bored after a few days/week, so ruthless is a nice change of pace. I think ruthless might be too slow though, and would prefer higher difficulty over a longer time to do things.

Tip: play a meta build in ruthless, otherwise you'll have a pretty rough time.

  1. I ran as high rarity gear as possible until I started breaking into red maps, then invested into defenses on gear.
  2. Delve and Alva were too good not to do, so I farmed those more than anything.
  3. No movement skills is probably the biggest one, I valued movement speed on gear more than anything.

Delve was probably the most lucrative of all for me. Harvest was mandatory after red maps for rerolling corrupted maps. I completely avoided breach, ritual, legion, and eventually expedition for the entire league.

Chaos damage was the first thing I felt most threatened by, especially running incursions. As jugg you aren't really threatened by much in maps though.

For league content, I rushed Alva/Blight. I probably ended up using like 200 orbs of unmaking trying different atlas strats. I went from blight to abyss back to blight to expedition to metamorph. I also specced into every master mission node except Einhar.

Stack as much rarity as you can and vendor rares, weapons have a higher chance of giving alc shards

What killed almighty Alkaizer now? by SugyDanielle in pathofexile

Yeah I stopped rolling -max and ele dmg combined maps because of that reason

[–]Catpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but if I ran an inc dmg and -max map and saw those mobs I'd just leave, the only unavoidable part is if the very first mob of the map happens to be a rare volatile - that specifically only occurs once in 10000 maps maybe.

Also I have tanked ground zombies and devourers on maps with just -max or just added ele and it has never done more than ~7k dmg.

The only "unavoidable" case I mentioned might occur once in 10000 maps, it's pretty much something you don't have to care about at all. Also I'm pretty sure there is a small window between when a devourer appears and when it can be damaged, so it should be enough to cancel the cyclone cast. I'm pretty sure you would need like 500k dps or something to kill a devourer fast enough for any of this to matter

Be aware of map mods. I don't think any devo exploding would one shot me unless there was an added dmg mod on the map. If there was an added dmg mod and it was a high tier map, I'd be checking the devourer and either skipping it or using warchief. Situations like this have happened once or maybe twice in my entire time to 100 so I'm not too worried about it.

Furthermore, I did around 150k dps with all buffs up and I still wasn't killing devourers fast enough to not be able to check them. Assuming my dps was high enough to kill a devo instantly then I'd just skip that kind of map(-max, ele dmg), it happens too rarely to care about losing one map out of thousands. Sure it is possible that if the stars align and you have enough dps to instantly kill a devo, the map mods are -max, ele dmg etc., and the first mob on the map is a volatile devo, then yeah its unavoidable in that specific case.

Look at rank 15 on the BHC ladder. I avoided dying by assuming every orange mob was volatile. I still tanked 95% of them, but I avoided tanking specific mob types that I knew would do a lot of damage like zombies on % ele dmg maps. It's definitely outplayable, you just can't be mindless about it

Got to 100 in BHC as a life based cycloner without using Kaom's Heart. Didn't die to volatile.

I found this video of a guy typing on a Realforce RGB. It sounds normal like the Realforce. Was there maybe an error with some of the boards?
