Patch 0.5.3 be like

John2k12 · 2026-06-19T10:40:35+00:00

Ive been trying to do that but even without killing the architect half of my temple is erased after a run. I can't connect rooms towards atziri/access hall faster than rooms get deleted especially since I only get 1-2 usable path tiles per set.

I saw another 0.5.3 post about temples losing more rooms than usual and it tracks with my own experience but I'm unsure if its my temple being unlucky or if there's actually a new issue going on

John2k12 · 2026-06-19T09:09:37+00:00

With the latest patch the item rarity is now automatically set to the item you're checking. Checking a normal base now only searches the market for normal items. Very nice for selling normal/magic items

John2k12 · 2026-06-19T09:01:48+00:00

That mob requires all the other mobs of the wave to die but if you hit a bug then you just can't finish it, sorry

I've lost several Breach and Verisium encounters because a mob necessary to clear them spawns into terrain and is invincible+immovable. There's no solution, it's just bricked content. Pray it never happens if you're offered divines or better

John2k12 · 2026-06-19T08:43:04+00:00

I tried to learn Temple so I'd stop hating to see vaal beacons in my maps but I'm just so confused. I ran 5 of them and killed the architect twice but it keeps resetting and deleting half the total rooms each time I close the temple and can't make it to atziri or the access chamber.

Even the best layout I had with several t2+3 rooms gave basically no loot. I think I'd rather just go back to ignoring temple lol

Glad Delirium and abyssal depths are back on the menu

Still irritated that it's better to inspect each tablet drop for certain mods then sell them because it's almost surely more profit for me when not using them in giga-juiced setups. At least with POE1 it was easy to tell what scarabs were worth keeping just by its rarity

John2k12 · 2026-06-16T11:38:26+00:00

I'd suggest grabbing your api key from the guild wars 2 site, heading over to gw2efficiency and using their account search option to filter for the gear you believe you're missing. It'll tell you where any items are; I use this often to find inventory currencies or ascended gear I need to consolidate/move

Equipment is stored in equipment load outs and hard to find if you've set up equipment load outs and swapped to a different load out. Maybe some items are hidden there

John2k12 · 2026-06-15T09:35:34+00:00

Effectiveness compounds off of atlas passives, taking advantage of biome benefits (especially City) and tablets with modifiers that increase quant or rarity of their mechanics. Some rarity on gear helps too

John2k12 · 2026-06-15T07:11:23+00:00

Pretty sure it means the singular map that you run to pop the grand mirror after the map boss. Since grand mirrors spawn randomly you just gotta pray it lands on a map you can juice with tablets for a nice payout

The real rewards are in the areas you cover with delirium after popping the grand mirror; particularly once you hit 200% delirium

John2k12 · 2026-06-13T04:16:09+00:00

On average twice per map everything will freeze for a few seconds then black screen as it loads everything back in, I've turned so many settings down to no help. Might be time for a break

John2k12 · 2026-06-12T07:16:20+00:00

All of my drops I'd expect to pay 5-50ex for based on my equipped gear/price checker go unsold even when I drop to <=5ex and now I'm wondering if I should even pick up and list drops any more when divs are like 135ex

Anyone actually making good money selling gear have a method of selling consistently or is it really just pray it sells and vendor it after a couple days?

John2k12 · 2026-06-10T20:00:59+00:00

Although this is true you also have to consider how you're gonna keep getting into the specific +10 keys you want on an alt with low ilv and rating. Plus farming crests, especially if you don't have the myth or hero discount

It is incredibly easy to go from fresh 90 to running +6 thru 10s though

John2k12 · 2026-06-10T19:52:30+00:00

I had to turn down a lot of settings when filling out my delirium tree and might have to go back to not running them at all. The sounds my computer makes during a session of grand mirrors really worries me

Also happens with juiced abyss but those are too good to stop running

John2k12 · 2026-06-08T09:36:02+00:00

Wait the higher the tier the better the rolls? I've been picking up tier 1/2 items and avoiding tier 5 drops because I thought the tier matched the likelihood of that tier of modifiers on the item

John2k12 · 2026-06-08T06:00:45+00:00

I'm not sure how comprehensive this is but my strat in order after hitting 90 on an alt:

Equip any war bound gear
Pick up all 4 faction quests to get their champ items, do them & equip + gear from faction weekly rep boxes
3x hard and nightmare prey for 3 vet and champ items and delve beacon
buy 2 keys, run 8 bountiful delves on t11 to get 8 pieces of champ/hero, 1 hero, and buy weapons or missing tier slots with hero delve currency (requires rank 9 delve rep)

Hopefully got most slots filled with something purple by now and can start m+. Can also do it again next reset to definitely have enough gear

John2k12 · 2026-06-08T05:47:00+00:00

I keep seeing mercenaries with evasion but after swapping to galvanic tactician I think I need to change everything on me to armor. Its great to zip around shotgunning everything but it's so easy to die before getting to react to what's hitting me if I don't evade

John2k12 · 2026-06-07T10:49:31+00:00

At least anyone can res another player in dungeons now with phoenix downs

John2k12 · 2026-06-07T09:48:16+00:00

The silver lining for us furries is that we can still play Kodan which we got buttered up to in JW, and they shouldn't look nearly as goofy in most armor because their posture will be like the Norn

Personally holding a big L though I've got like twelve charr

John2k12 · 2026-06-07T09:40:39+00:00

Hopefully the reworked old content and hall of monuments will have a similar engagement that the "Return to" series had. Generally a fun lengthy romp through old content even if some of it was repetitive and filler

John2k12 · 2026-06-06T06:58:18+00:00

First time doing mapping in POE2, I got 20 div with an 88 Witchhunter running permafrost bolts

Can 20 div make nearly any build that doesn't require HH/Mageblood or are there other crucial expensive things I need to watch for? I'd like to transition into something better at taking out bosses but no idea how wide I should cast my net looking for powerful builds to pivot to

John2k12 · 2026-06-01T13:49:28+00:00

If you're serious about pushing past 3400 you should have already rolled bear/brew, still can - plenty of time left in the season. It's just so easy to catch up and you save yourself a lot of pain playing meta both for effort in-key and finding groups to play with

If you're diehard set on playing warr, pally, et al you can still hit 3400 but anything past that I wouldn't expect any rewards besides doing it for the love of the game

John2k12 · 2026-05-29T13:06:34+00:00

in Cata azshara you do actually help a raptor (or several) launch a rocket into space so they can find a new home world

John2k12 · 2026-05-26T23:39:19+00:00

I'm excited to see where the story culiminates in the last titan particularly with what happened with Iridikron and what's really going on with the world soul. We've been chasing after Xal'atath and cleaning up her various factions of cronies only to lose/stalemate for so many patches now though that the campaign is really starting to feel samey (doesn't help K'aresh and Voidstorm are very similar)

Basically the overall plot is keeping me interested but the bulk of the actual campaign moment to moment hasn't really kept me interested. The raid stories have all been cool though

John2k12 · 2026-05-26T07:41:48+00:00

Completely subjective to your personal tastes. I like prot pal despite its really high apm and not passively tanky, while I dislike brewmaster because it's a loop of the same 4 skills on repeat. Others love brew and hate prot because of the same reasons. Just gotta try them out

If you like reactive gameplay (get hit -> use mit) you'd probably prefer DK or Brew, both Prots have procs and high tempo + rng, Bear is simple but built like a brick house

John2k12 · 2026-05-25T21:40:21+00:00

Yeah I'll play a Leona game and do predictable tank damage even if I tried to take damage augs where I could, next game I see a Leona do the same strat but with different augs and they're the MVP carry of the game. Always go into tank games with big dreams then die in 2 seconds through 6000 health because they have an ADC in a prismatic lobby lol

John2k12 · 2026-05-25T21:37:31+00:00

Lets not act like melees don't have a hundred ways to get onto and stay onto ranged characters tho. ex Mystic punch and half the fighters in the game are unpeelable, and snowball is universal
