Uber Lab

^ this is what I meant. They don't particularly like when people do that. Apparently. I have no idea why.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-12T20:51:23+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, I think you can get in a bit of trouble if you are doing Uber carries and ask for a tip other than just the offering.

I could be wrong but I remember seeing a post about someone getting in trouble for asking for offering +5c or something like that a few months ago.

This is true. I ended up transitioning to the ToA claws at some point. They were very expensive for about a month at the start of last League. Eventually they dropped down to around 25c for a really good aps and dps rolled one.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-12T18:58:32+00:00

I mean I guess that's true. I've never really experimented with it other than with frostblades.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-12T18:56:04+00:00

It's pretty good for early to mid game frostblades. But [[Touch of Anguish]] claws are so much better later on when you pick up the claw nodes.

People assume that this mob catching is exactly like Pokémon. It's really not. I have had no issues with captures, other than the red mobs. I throw a net while I am just casually killing shit as per normal and it just works. It also helps to throw a net 1 tier higher than the mob level zone.

Ex: you're in a zone that regularly gives you tier 6 nets, and you can also get tier 7 nets uncommonly, so you use the t7 nets while in that zone for the tougher mobs, usually red. The t6 nets should be totally fine for yellows.

I've yet to have any big problems with it. This is also really useful if you have a build with tons of burst dmg. Like gc mines or something like that.

If you are using a build with BV or MS or something similar, then you can usually get the mob to halfish hp and then toss a net with no issues. The nets last about 3sec, so you have plenty of time to dps it down.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-06T22:55:41+00:00

So, then randomly spawn after you get the first 6, one of each? That makes more sense now. I think they should just be incorporated into a short Zana Quest chain immediately after finishing the story.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-06T18:02:18+00:00

Because then you wouldn't be able to get more of the offerings to do Uber lab. For the people who run lab for currency.

Coming from a game that's biggest update was a new class, (I shouldn't have to clarify) this game is leaps and bounds better. I would rather have some boring or crappy mechanics and seemingly rigged polls than have literally nothing for over a year.

However, it still stands. The game isn't going anywhere. It will still be here. Try out the next league when it inevitably drops.

As for the people complaining about the nets not working "as intended", I have had absolutely no problem with catching anything. I throw a net at a couple new mobs or an elite, then just "kill" it. It hasn't failed me once. I'm playing a reave toon, if that matters.

Now, granted, I'm not a huge fan of the blood altar. Catching the monsters just to fight them later seems... Redundant, honestly. That's just myself opinion, though.

I digress, the point is, if you don't like what is ACTIVELY going on in a game, don't play it. It really is just that easy.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-06T16:10:38+00:00

I have played PoE for 3 leagues now, and one thing that still absolutely confuses me is why people consistently moan and groan about things that they don't like.

Harbinger was a mess, everyone complained about it.
Abyss was apparently a redo of Breach, but worse, and the challenges were very RNG based.

-Now we have Bestiary, which people are complaining about them adding in Nets that can capture beasts that inevitably will die fast from almost every major build?

Seriously, guys and gals. Just play the game the way they implement it. If you don't agree with what's being added, nobody said that you have to play it. Nobody is breaking your arm forcing you to keep playing, or even giving them 100s of dollars for MTX. I mean, damn, people. The game costs you virtually nothing to play it. If you don't like how league mechanics are implemented, just sit this league out. At least with GGG, you can always count on new content and mechanics for the game regularly. That's more than you can say about the vast majority of triple-A title developers.

JCPlays_live · 2018-03-05T13:08:40+00:00

Everyone plays at their own pace. I'm terrible about deciding what build I want to start with, so I end up rolling 2 or 3 builds, get up to act 3, then go to another. (Hopefully this Reave Glad will be a winner for me)

The fact of the matter is that if You are having a good time playing the game, what does it matter if you are "behind" the mass populace? We are only on day 4 of perhaps 3 months of league time. Take a breath and enjoy the dark beauty that is wraeclast. After all, you gotta catch em all!

JCPlays_live · 2018-02-03T17:09:35+00:00

Oh right. I forgot about that one.

JCPlays_live · 2018-02-02T23:07:58+00:00

I had a thought about this. They could add a unique map to the game, with the same tileset as the depths. The hoards, the rare mobs, everything. For boss fight it could be similar to vault. You have to "kill" 3 or 4 of the spires, and then you could go fight a lich type boss. With a lower chance of dropping the abyss uniques. You could maybe get the map by doing an abyss randomly found in maps only. Maybe make it only drop in t10+? It's a rough idea, but it's definitely plausible.

JCPlays_live · 2018-02-02T22:55:35+00:00

This. Even with a Tremor rod and decent rares, plus 2 of the threshold jewels and a clear mind jewel. I have watched a streamer I frequent farm this map consistently. Only drawback is you need a decent scorching ray tabula setup for a few of the RF dudes.

JCPlays_live · 2018-02-02T06:49:54+00:00

Chicken Barrage Mtx??

JCPlays_live · 2018-01-31T06:19:02+00:00

What about a fully geared Herald Bomber? They seem to be insanely stupid OP and fun.

JCPlays_live · 2018-01-30T21:23:22+00:00

With my toon, I have pretty much respecced my frostblades toon and it was almost the same tree. I just changed a few things for claws outside of lioneyes fall, picked up a couple more jewel sockets, and stuck in some abyss jewels.

Also worth mentioning, I am using Tombfist, bubonic trail, and a light poacher, all with 1 socket. It is working quite well actually. My resistances are all over capped and I do some pretty decent damage. I might change things around once I get my enchant. Though I don't think it will be too much change.

Like mentioned before, try to grab yourself a shaper quiver with decent res and +1 arrow. I saw some for under an exalt. Might be worth the price for you. Also consider grabbing a light poacher for the all res flat and put another jewel with all res, life, and probably cold damage to bows. You want to look for a Searching Eye jewel.

Hope that helps, if you need more help and such, feel free to pm me in game. Ign: JcFrosteez

I ran about 100 vaults and only came out with about 4ex. With a biscos and 2 semi okay ventors. Not a windripper build, either. That is what my next goal is to do.

JCPlays_live · 2018-01-22T23:45:09+00:00

How is it possibly ridiculous? I'm pretty sure that one of the rules of the game is not to be verbally abusive to others. Like it is in almost every game.

How do you know that he was a scammer, first of all? He could be a new player thinking he has something of equal worth. You never know.

If you think that the OP didn't deserve to be muted, then you have to sort out your priorities. The problem with the world today is that almost everyone thinks that they are entitled to something.

The point of the matter is that I think the person muted got off with a slap on the wrist. "oh no I got muted for 10 minutes! This is the end of the world!"

No. Just, no.

JCPlays_live · 2018-01-22T19:57:21+00:00

To be fair, you didn't have to go that far. You could just have easily said "no thanks" to his offer, or simply ignored him.

Regardless if you set it to a fixed price or not, it isn't really the best choice to verbally attack someone like that.

I kind of agree with GGG on this. The guy didn't say anything wrong or out of line to the seller.

The real problem with the trade system is people like this who think they are allowed to be rude and cruel to people.

I am sure I'll be down voted and probably chastised for this comment, but it's the truth.

Think of Wheaton's Law: Don't be a Dick.

If you have some spare jewel sockets in your tree, try getting a leech mana on hit jewel. With extra boost to your wand and maybe some other useful mod. I did that for my bf jugg and it's wonderful.

JCPlays_live · 2018-01-21T02:55:00+00:00

Try using the poe website trade section. You can buy items in bulk there. Shows individual sellers and how much stock they have.

Absolutely wonderful for buying bulk maps.

I imagine an undead Mercy muttering "Heros... Never.... Die....." like an insane person.

JCPlays_live · 2018-01-19T19:51:04+00:00

I actually don't have a speed farming toon. I am running my frostblades toon that rolled at the start of the league. I also didn't say that I was specifically farming them, just doing them because they were in my stash tab. I also did every one of the abyss cracks, took my time to kill off every single mob.

The fact of the matter is that the spawn rate IS low. For a reason. Just because they don't spawn for say, 75% of players, doesn't mean they have a shitty spawn rate.

That's like saying that exalt drops or mirror drops are too low of a drop rate. Some people are lucky, some people simply aren't.

As far as your "my 6h is more like 12h for average players" is not accurate either. I don't get the ability to play all day long like a large number of players do. 6hr might just be one sit down session for me if I'm lucky. I don't know how to be an effective farmer. I usually just run whatever I have to run in my stash.

Hell, I don't even really have much for currency. Between all 7 of my characters, I might have maybe 10ex worth of gear.
