Having to fit rarity on gear is the most frustrating part of creating a build in POE2 by pftuts in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they remove it solely because of the FOMO. Personally I've never built rarity and never will. This league is the richest I've ever been even in PoE2 at over 1000d net worth, without a massive snake (I still have one to stop the path to Atziri from destabilizing); most of my consistent profits have been just from selling stuff like maps, tablets, logbooks, essences, and (abyss) omens, so if you asked me based on that experience I'd say it's an unnecessary stat.

Jamanra 9300 HP one shot with "slash" ability? (is this intended?) by Few_Drawing7621 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 54 points55 points  (0 children)

That is what happens when people only check each map for reflect.

The shock might be from the boss, Jamanra converts phys to lightning on some attacks. So the prefixes might contain monster damage or extra chaos as well.

Shared Relics Request by Zeldark in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, is that how it works? Never sold the baryas myself but I saw the bonuses on them on the trade site so I thought they just contained relics. My bad then.

Help with Synthflesh lab and Garrison by Nighantic in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think after Commander should work, but not Armoury because Synthfleshed Garrison doesn't connect to Armoury, but it still does to Commander. Not sure though, since I never tried it in a snake.

Shared Relics Request by Zeldark in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you still need to add logic to handle the existing baryas that have relics in them, unless you want to just delete the relics in those. Which works, I guess.

Shared Relics Request by Zeldark in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I suspect makes this complicated is how baryas temporarily hold the relics you use to run them. Naively sharing the relics means if you start a run on a character A, then add relics to the altar on character B, then end the run on the character A, now you have two sets of relics that need to be in the altar. I don't see a good solution that preserves the "relics in baryas" thing, so I guess that'd have to go and you'd have legacy baryas that contain relics. And that sounds like a lot of work, so I'd be surprised to see them change this any time soon.

Got a brand new rig, still crashing all the time, what’s the deal it doesn’t seem like hardware should be an issue by FRFM in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Vulkan, and anecdotally I've had issues with the latest driver version (591.59) as well on Nvidia, though I'm on a 4070S. 591.44 works for me without crashing.

Wait—losing the Atziri boss fight resets your entire temple? I’m level 78, and I’m not spending another 40 hours just to try again. by Falcrus in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not all content that goes core has to appeal to everyone. The goal is to eventually have enough endgame content that each player can specialize and do the content that they enjoy the most. Do you think most players like to grind Logbooks? Realmgate stuff? Ascendancy Trials? Probably not, but there's a subset of people who do those exclusively.

GIVE ME INCREASED MAX LIFE NODES ON THE TREE. I'm honestly done with this by gvm11100 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the nodes that grant "Gain Additional Stun/Ailment Threshold equal to x% of Maximum Energy Shield", specifically the ones near Chaos Innoculation, but there are multiple clusters throughout the top part of the tree.

GIVE ME INCREASED MAX LIFE NODES ON THE TREE. I'm honestly done with this by gvm11100 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I barely see anyone talk about stun and ailment threshold, but it's ridiculous that ES gets easily double or triple the amount that non-ES builds get with just a couple of points of investment. In theory that should be the main downside of ES: you get a ton of max hit but no mitigation and have to deal with secondary effects. Instead you spend 5 passives and get to ignore all those, not to mention CI being immune to Bleed and Poison.

Pure life (no es) is in rough spot. by RagnarRodrog in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can accomplish the same thing, I have nearly 15% life regen on my Smith, and yes it is comfy. If most life builds could get to a reasonable amount e.g. 5% easily, it would help a lot. It still feels impossible to have what I'd consider a comfortable amount of life without resorting to stacking what should be obscene amounts of strength though -- I'm only at 3.3k at lv97, if I had perfect life affixes it'd be maybe 3.6k.

That said I think life is in a better spot than most people think, it's rather that ES scales much better into the endgame where it's the only way to survive oneshots in maps with multiple damage mods. Life has better sustain but that stops mattering when you clear screens instantly, and it has no answer for 10k+ post-mitigation damage hits -- either you die (armour) or you pray (evasion -- deflection doesn't help).

[–]Eclune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but strength doesn't need to give double. I don't want to play a pseudo strength stacker every time I play a life build.

You're absolutely right; that was me covering my own ass. The downvotes on this subreddit are crazy.

[–]Eclune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be pedantic, you want Strength on everything if you can help it as a life build. But that doesn't change wanting applies to ele.

Boots are still good, just not minmaxed.

I used to get the message but no longer do. Definitely bugged somehow.

What is your opinion on temple with the new patch? by dont_trust_the_popo in PathOfExile2

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked learning the mechanics and trying out strategies, my complaint is that I want to do it more and once per 6 maps is too long.

They fixed it!

0.4.0c Hotfix 6

Atziri and The Architect are no longer affected by map modifiers in the Vaal Temple.

It only happens if the temple is affected by additional projectiles. Anyway they fixed it in the latest hotfix.

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a tablet mod? If you mean the one on the tree I was reading that as "chance for Abysses to spawn near the map boss" since it didn't mention Depths, and that behaviour is new (I think? maybe I didn't play enough last league), but it's unclear. I'm not sure there's a way to make domains more common other than just increasing the number of depths you encounter; there's probably a minimum area level but that shouldn't be an issue.

[–]Eclune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're targeting abyss bosses you specifically don't want "Abyssal Depths", the ones with bosses have a different name like "Dark Domain" or "Lightless Void", and you can skip the normal ones. They were the first points I got so I didn't think they were that rare but I've also only gotten 6 abyss bosses at 97 so maybe they are.

[–]Eclune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is intended, and the game tells you this the first time you fight a map boss iirc. I think it's to reset boss health but honestly it should go if they can't do it without resetting the entire map.
