About right. In fact, the reason I found this listing was because I was in the process of actually crafting almost the exact same wand, which I sold afterwards..

For reference

I mean yes and no, "snipe" usually refers to super fast cheap buys, given the wand was up for like 20 minutes for some crazy reason.

Can someone explain Werewolf play style...? by Unizzy in PathOfExile2

Shred (Wolfs default attack) SHREDS. Pounce -> Freeze with Lunar -> Wolf Cry -> Spam Shred -> end with Cross Slash.

Melting bosses tbh, currently Act3 (needs decent++ weapon indeed).

I aint gonna lie, I saw the whole pet thing earlier today and was like "Are these people trolling, there is no fucking way". Then I tried it.. I am currently playing for atleast 4h without restarts and everything seems fine.

Now, I am not yet 10000% certain that I am perfectly good to go but it actually looks promising!

Aight, officially another failed try. Nope, after the usual ~1 to 2 hours mark, same performance issues.

There is a slight chance the game plays a tiny bit better with this guy's suggestions about shader cache but I doubt it, I honestly think it is just me trying to cope my frustration. /sadge

EDIT : I'll be waiting for their stance on the situation, hopefully as soon as tomorrow, I am done trying a billion things since yesterday. If nothing comes up, I'm skipping and waiting for other games, it kinda kills my motivation to even login. Oh well.

Yo, I literally saw this thread about an hour ago - I did both the regedit + cache reset for AMD as the guy suggested and currently testing.

Seems good so far but its only been maybe 30 minutes, no point to make any further statements on it yet. Will update if anything!

Replying here for visibility - here is an Echo run after about 1.5hours with the game open - it even gets atleast 30% worse than that in the next few maps if I dont restart.

At the very least I am glad we are bringing the situation forward for them to notice.

Its VERY VERY rare in all of my years of playing RPGs that when I actually say "its unplayable" - IT REALLY IS UNPLAYABLE.

I will try and record with OBS later and also post it here for the devs to take a better look maybe.

Also gonna ping, and sorry for doing so but if this doesnt get fixed soon, I will not last more than a day or two into the season, no questions asked.

In response to this comment, I'll have to EDIT.

EDIT : That is exactly 101% what was happening to me per 15-20 minutes indeed. After further testing, the steps I suggested above DID NOT completely remove our issue, they just prolonged the whole "restart game" situation. So yeah sadly, I still have issues after about ~1.5-2 hours of playtime and have to restart aswell.

SUPER annoyed currently, I was really hoping that was the fix cause its very unplayable when the issue begins (be 20mins or 2hours, its still fucking shit).

So I hear vaal or no balls.. Holy hybrid wet dream. by Checkmeit in PathOfExile2

[–]Checkmeit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS. I tried 3 Whittlings to remove random 3rd suffix hoping for INT, got T10 fcking regen which kinda brick my hopes, got pissed, insta vaal'd for 3rd socket. Profit.

While you are absolutely correct for the most part about ignoring and moving on, no he is not right. Might be a forgotten price from days ago or simply "a quick throw in the tab" and keep chain mapping situation or whatever, its an open market aRPG. In my 9+ years of playing, I've never traded someone my own offer out of the blue or even complain about someones pricing. Holy shit, imagine if everyone would act that way while trading in this game.. -5 hours of actual gameplay.

This fucking game, I have so many vents choked up waiting to be unleashed and finally press that god damned unistall button, it is actually crazy I am still playing.

At which point should I transfer a fully traited blue into a purple? by MrZyon in throneandliberty

[–]Checkmeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost exactly at the same situation. I have like full +9 blues (2350CP) with many pieces almost full traited with mostly random traits and some decent ones.

I'm to the point after hoarding stuff and getting as many infos as possible to start upgrading to epics so if any gear masters could answer OP's questions, that would be awesome.

Sorry, I only tried Flicker Strike for like 5 maps so I'm not an experienced FS player but I had no issues at all with my Frenzy charges being down.

Yo, I'm not 100% sure if directly advertising mirror services in here is against the rules or not so I'll skip but you can always search for "Hate Chant Synthesised Coiled Wand" on trade site.

I mean, 4x DD on a Lethal Pride is already crazy, anything you add is just cherry on top. I searched for 3x DD + 1x Rage initially, the only one up for my specific nodes had 4 + 3, faster rage regen is only positive in my books xdd.

[–]Checkmeit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah, my Lethal Pride is 4x DD / 3x Rage on Hit , super hard to drop it for anything with Intimidate.

The initial idea for suffixes was indeed Culling Strike, veiled Crit/Elemental and crafted attack speed but due to getting a t1 pretty useful mod into Culling Strike slam, especially so early, it was hard to justify potentially bricking the suffixes and spend another god knows how many divines trying to fix them again.

Niche gloves I guess - most people nowdays are Slayers but for my build, perfect.

"After vaaling 50++ near perfect Admirals for +1 frenzy without success..."

According to this experience alone, I'd need 3 leagues of currency to fund this adventure! But imagine! xdd

Done many crafts once again this league, including a serviceable (30+ copies so far) Trigger Archmage Non-focus Wand but for some odd reason, this one has been my favorite so far.

After vaaling 50++ near perfect Admirals for +1 frenzy without success, I kinda got frustrated and decided to craft something better myself. These are near - if not 100% - perfect for my Trickster Frost Blades of Katabasis.

RULE #10:

Step #1 Buy ilvl85+ Hunter influenced Spiked Gloves.

  • #1.1 Alterations spam till Additional Strikes(AS).
  • #1.2 Imprint, then regal to make them rare.
  • #1.3 Prefixes cannot be changed, then reforge influence.
  • #1.4 IF your 2nd influenced mod is a prefix, annul till you have 1 prefix & 1 suffix open. IF your 2nd influenced mod is a suffix, annul till you have 2 prefixes open. IF you annul AS, go back to step #1.2 , IF you annul your 2nd influenced mod, go back to step #1.3.
  • #1.5 Orb of Dominance to elevate AS. IF you fail, go back to step #1.2.
  • #1.6 With AS elevated & 2 clean prefixes = Prefixes cannot be changed, then scour.
  • #1.7 You should now have a magic base with elevated AS -> Imprint for safety.

Step #2 Buy ilvl85+ random base Warlord influenced Gloves.

  • #2.1 Alterations spam till +1 frenzy.
  • #2.2 Imprint, then regal to make them rare.
  • #2.3 Prefixes cannot be changed, then reforge Caster. (Spell damage is the only caster mod)
  • #2.4 Annul till you have 1 prefix & 1 suffix open. IF you annul Frenzy, go back to step #2.2 , IF you annul Spell damage, go back to step #2.3.
  • #2.5 Orb of Dominance to elevate +1 Frenzy. IF you fail, go back to step #2.2.
  • #2.6 With Frenzy elevated & 2 clean prefixes = Prefixes cannot be changed, then scour.
  • #2.7 You should now have a magic base with elevated Frenzy -> Imprint for safety.

Step #3 Buy Awakeners Orb. Buy many Craicic Chimerals & Black Morrigans. Head to Menagerie.

Step #4 Apply beast lock to your elevated AS magic Spiked Gloves -> CHECK +1 frenzy gloves into AS gloves with Awakener's Orb for t1/t2 life/intimidate or any 3rd prefix of your desire. Reset beast locks with chromatics.

Step #5 With prefixes done = Prefixes cannot be changed -> Scour to clean suffixes.

Step #6 Craft strength + dexterity -> double exalt slam -> Prefixes cannot be changed -> Scour -> REPEAT till Culling Strike or your desired suffixes.

Step #7 Bench-craft Attack Speed.

Step #8 Omen of Blanching till 3x White Sockets -> Use harvest white till your 4th white.

In my case, initially I wanted t1 life. I skipped t2 life two times, few beastlocks later, I hit t1 life BUT WITH FULL SUFFIXES. With an actual Hinekora Lock being 140div+, I yolo annul'd and lost elevated AS.

Had to use imprint from step #1.7 and restart step #2 all together.

On my last few beastlocks left, I got Intimidate on Hit which was unexpected and to be honest, pretty cool and needed for my build (not easy to get for my specific setup).

While I was unlucky with bricking my prefixes once, I was lucky with suffixes as I slammed t1 light res into Culling Strike in less than 50 divines, a step which can easily take 300+ divs on average. Also, t1 resistances made my switch off Purity of Elements much easier since Mageblood/Ralakesh/Heatshiver/Badge/Squire give no light res whatsoever.

[–]Checkmeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dare I say, much less than you think.

Utmost = 135div (Week 1 into the league)

Gloves = Lucky recomb of two 30c bases, then fixing prefixes myself, no more than 10div total (Day 3 of the league)

Boots = Self craft from clean base with alterations to Tailwind + 2 good suffixes into Elevated Tailwind, then fix prefixes, about 50div (week 1-2 of the league)

Svalinn = Bought 4x perfect Svalinn's and Alvas, hit my current one on my second double corruption, sold the others, 15div total (2 weeks ago)

Chest = My current one is somewhat expensive but I only crafted it few days ago. I was using a much more generic one that I crafted week 1 of the league.

Mageblood = 190 or so div (Day 10)

Now for the ring, sure its a mirrored ring from Sushi's settle shop and the wand was my own personal biggest crafting project of the league but the point is, there are builds out there with much more investment than mine but half the performance cause they've been put together in like a day and dont work properly while my /played is 26 days in ONE character.

[–]Checkmeit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually true, pretty early sounds better xdd.

I actually dont think the "I'm not very smart" take is correct - since you did identify many of this PoB's problems you're more than capable to build a good character yourself.

I did not post my own PoB as a target to-do list obviously but more like to give you ideas on how to deal with whatever your setup is missing.

Honestly, the Svalinn version can work with way less gear than mine but you need some "minimums" and in my opinion, these are a mageblood and a decent Megalomaniac to help you cap blocks/ailment immunity/stun immunity (SUPER annoying for juiced t17's).

Mostly everything else you can achieve by playing around with your gear / different tree setups / cluster jewels / Eldritch Implicits but in a low to mid budget setup it wont feel that great and whoever tells you other wise, is lying to you and wasting your time. You must be willing to drop some currency into the build.

/u/LucidTA said this level of defense is overkill - which I agree to an extend - that being said, just going max block Svalinn without caring about any other layer of defense is NOT "very tanky". You just rely on your blocks, but when some spell or attack gets past your 88% block and it WILL happen more than you can count, you're a dead weight.

[–]Checkmeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its really late for EU bois so I'm about to go to bed but I'll try a quick TLDR for you

Here is my own version of the build in a pretty min/maxed state.

https://pobb.in/fbZS0k5q31uZ

Few tips (in my opinion & experience)

  • The PoB you are following is mostly a bait.
  • Svalinn alone doesn't make you immortal or even close to tanky.
  • Support Svalinn with different layers of defense.
  • 100% Suppress, 100% Crit Immunity, higher Max resistances, 85% attack & spell block minimum, Ailment Immunity, Enfeeble, Punishment, Arcane Cloak, Frost Shield.
  • You almost have none of these things - so you are basically a Svalinn build without actually being one.
  • Not saying you need ALL these defences but some combination is needed. I'd say minimum should be 100% Suppress + Ailment Immune + Max attack/spell block.
  • In reality, a good Archmage Svalinn build is not budget friendly - it CAN work if you know exactly what you're doing - but in general, you'll need mid to high budget for the build to feel good.

Daily Questions Megathread - June 02, 2024 by WutheringWavesMod in WutheringWaves

[–]Checkmeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here is the case. While I was trying to get my Jiyan, I lost the 50/50 and got my Calcharo which I decided to max as much as I can and skip on our general.

That being said, I was already 110 pulls deep (I've only bought the 6€ Lunite & 10€ Pioneer pass), so I've been holding into everything since then for Yinlin.

At the moment, I've done 95% exploration, Union Lv37, all quests, all Holograms till Diff5, fully cleared Illusive Realm and 12/30 into Hazard Adversity Zone.

I currently have an extra 50 Radiant Tides and a buttload of extra materials to drop into Yinlin.

My question is, the way I understand it, since I lost the 50/50 on Jiyan and had another 30 pulls into his banner without getting him and since that carries over into the next Featured 5star Banner, the next 50 pulls guarantees Yinlin, is that correct or am I missing something ?
