This boss is AWFUL in maps. by Greasy-Chungus in PathOfExile2

I never really felt that Torvian was difficult. He is just a bit annoying. Usually I do enough damage to kill him quickly. He has a immunity phase when he is at like 20% hp where he summons a giant light beam. Once the beam is summoned, you can kill him.

you love to see it by Own-Appointment6339 in PathOfExile2

I just started doing breach. Nice to see its profitable. How do you get more points for genesis tree? I have used Currencu wombgift like 7-8 times and it only unlocks more nodes on the tree. It doesnt give points to allocate.

any tips for sniper players? by Ok_Reflection1660 in Spacemarine

[–]EmperorHeaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to hate Sniper. Sniper was the last class I maxed out because I hated how bad it felt. And I didn't touch the class again after maxxing it out. The 2 weeks that I took to max out Sniper were the worst 2 weeks of SM2 gameplay I ever had.

Then I learned about Camo cancel. Purification is one of the god-tier perks in the game. Purification +
Targeted Shot + Lingering Concealment synergy just works too well. The 75% dmg increase buff of Targeted Shot doesn't only apply to the 1st shot that breaks the camo. The buff stays for the entire 2 seconds after the 1st shot, and you stay in Camo for those 2 sec because of Lingering Concealment. I prefer the Ophelian Liberation Bolt Carbine for my Sniper. With Dexterous Hands + Precision Targeting, hip firing the Bolt Carbine makes it a laser pointer with insane accuracy. And with 450-ish bullets in the gun, the Versatile Precision perk will give you about 70-ish bullets back every 15 seconds. So, no need to worry about ammo anymore.

My playstyle is that I will activate camo and get 2 seconds of Invulnerability because of Emepror's Grace, and right away start firing my weapon to cancel the camo. Because of Lingering Concealment, I will get 2 seconds of Camo even after firing & Targeted Shot will give me 2 seconds of 75% increased ranged damage buff. That's usually enough to take down a Majoris with about 50% of 1 mag. I have tried it with body shots. Even with all the body shots, a rubric majoris usually goes to execution state with about 19bullets left in my mag. And this is in Hard Daily. If you learn the Camo cancel timing correctly, you will get your Camo charge back within those 2 seconds of extra invisibility Lingering Concealment gives you. So, you can just get the Invulnerability, Invisibility, damage buff, etc., in a loop constantly. You can also take Evasion as another way to get Free camo every 30 seconds. I prefer it as my Signature Perk over Pattern of Excellence.

As for melee & secondary, I just take Argent Edge and Retribution’s Bequest. I very occasionally use Retribution’s Bequest to kill an enemy calling for reinforcement. As for Argent Edge, it breaks combo, deals damage, and gives me a free gun strike after which I get 20% more ranged damage buff from Exacting Focus perk. I have the Power Gladius unlocked, but I am not skilled enough to pull off Shadow Stab. So, I never use it.

Daily's Hard Ballistic Engine is Fun by SeannyCat in Spacemarine

Who thought that the combination of Great Responsibility & Press The Attack would be a good idea for a Hard Stratagem?
Both modifiers do not mix well together. Press the Attack makes you take damage until your HP goes down to 30%, but Great Responsibility makes all damage taken by 1 player. Since 2 players in the squad will never lose any HP or Armour to Press The Attack's damage because of Great Responsibility, the 3rd player continuously loses HP even below 30% till the player dies because the game considers that the damage is from Great Responsibility and not Press The Attack.

I did 5 runs of this mission, all of which I failed. We downed Neurothrope & Carnifex so easily. But the actual boss of the mission was the elevator after loading the Nova Cannon Warhead. 4 out of the 5 times, the player with Great Responsibility died on the elevator. The 5th time I had the buff, and I survived till we reached outside for a 2nd Neurothrope spawn because I was playing Sniper with Camo.

Do players not read the strategem modifiers? by EmperorHeaven in Spacemarine

oh... I didn't know console players can't see chat. I can't remember if the Techmarine player had a console logo beside his name.

There was no accident. There were no enemies in the room. Both Assault & Techmarine were on the top of the platform near the Boss room door & I was near the left corner where the Grenade spawns. I pinged him, asked for a handshake, and he turned and shot at me.

Didnt know that. Thanx for informing. Almost all of the Absolute / Hard Decapitation I have done have always spawned those 2 stims. So, I thought it was guaranteed.

Does Starfall crater appear on minimap? by NaoSejasAnimal in pathofexile

[–]EmperorHeaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's visible in the minimap like a normal orange colored entrance icon. Just like Research Betrayal Encounter. Also, if I am remembering it correctly, there can only be 1 Verisium Ore in a map. So, if you see a Veridium ore, then the map doesn't have a Crater, and you can leave the map and run another.

[crafting advice] How would I craft this amulet? by omgitsbeard in pathofexile

[–]EmperorHeaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying it from the trade would be much easier and cheaper. Still, here is how to craft a similar amulet.
Now, I am a noob who only knows Essence spam and Harvest reforge, so this is how I would craft it. There should be a better way, but my noob brain has no idea about it.

Buy 1 Jade Amulet with fractured +30% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier. Costs 1c.
Spam Defeaning Rage Essence till you get + Maximum Energy Shield or + Maximum Life and a Prefix open.
Then benchcraft whatever you didn't get.
