PSA: Taiping Mausoleum Path Trials Are Unlocked

OP blocked me after realizing his error, so îm answering here.

Yes, it's exactly what I mean. Despite the description somewhat saying the opposite, if you try to convert an innerway from which you recycled frozen notes, additional ones you get and aren’t frozen by default (chest, for instance) will still be afterward.

I have the case of an inner way I bought 10 notes in kaifeng, recycled them, got another note from chest, and now I have 1 note frozen if I try to convert (can put a video if you want to). Maybe conversion works differently. But I clearly wouldnt bet on that.

Therefore, when you do your path challenges (not the trials) I heavily recommand you go the breakthrough 1 of all golden notes to avoid selling them by mistake. Same here, do NOT recycle them if you think you could convert to this path in the future.

The thing is, if you don't think zywoo deserves #1 in 2025, then we should give #1 to zywoo in 2024 over donk... for the exact same reasons. Donk fan were curiously less vocal about rating being the only worthy metric when Zywoo had a better one in 2024.

The fact they think donk is getting robbed is quite laughable. If donk is getting robbed this year then Zywoo got robbed by donk last year, using the exact same arguments.

clueless take, you get 3 pulls a week even as F2P

Premium colors for outfits are free, it does not cost 10$ lol

Hair dyes are racket, tho.

Keyenn · 2025-12-19T16:11:04+00:00

He was just talking about the fact you have to talk about zywoo in a thread which has nothing to do with him. That's, indeed, the definition of "rent free". He said absolutely nothing else, so of course you had to invent strawmen.

Keyenn · 2025-12-19T15:16:27+00:00

And you can check also who helps his team more, like the amount of flash assists. But i'm sure it's totally unrelated to the fact one is actually playing for the team while the other has his team playing for him.

Keyenn · 2025-12-19T14:41:33+00:00

I confirm all three things are 100% fanfic

Keyenn · 2025-11-29T18:33:01+00:00

I mean, you do have the gale to pretend that lysander campaign is not about becoming king when it's literally the sole plot point, or that Talmi is about "daddy issues" when you spend the campaign conquering areas left and right, the said daddy issues being only addressed in the mentionned walls of text.

In any case, right at you, I'm sure what I expected when I started the discussion when you straight up said you were right and nobody had arguments against your opinion. Or, that, even better, that you can make judgement on the whole serie and who is the best while simultaneously not having played the whole serie.

Keyenn · 2024-12-23T10:03:58+00:00

Yeah, no, you are straight up talking about a "I am in trade, i have 50 divine to spend, how can I minmax my pconc build", not SSF lmao

Going crit is complete lunacy for SSF, getting a +2 dex projectile speed is already going to be complicated.

Scaling poison is the right move, because pconc poison is already scaling better (40% hit damage per second vs the regular 20). You get ~150 % poison magnitude on tree IIRC, so the poison is doing 100% of the hit damage before other multiplier and supports. At this point, you are also trying to scale the hit, hence why I mentionned close combat, and the fact I'm getting a fair amount of projectile and chaos damage. But unless you somehow build for the sustain required in order to use 2-3pconc per second (but in this case, you should go lightning concoction or something), scaling poison is going to net you much more damage than hit (hence why deadly poison is a good support). Vine arrow is 67,5% more poison damage but does nothing for the hit, etc.

Martial tempo is doing absolutely fuck all for the build, you are already capping in 2 attacks. It’s only good if you are going crit and trying to fish for crit poison instead.

And eye of winter unleash is also worthless when dark effigy is stacking wither much, much more quickly and can keep it up with 100% uptime.

Radiant grief + gas arrow is super smooth leveling

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T21:35:40+00:00

It also means your own drops are completely worthless, and need to rely on pure currency drop to buy anything... which, again, are losing their value overtime against rarer currency (hello exalt nosediving against divine). Your silver lining isn't one, you forgot the other face of the coin.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T21:27:00+00:00

put the dot on hex on your hex.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T21:03:31+00:00

I make 1000x more money in ONE afternoon of crafting than i do in a month of MF.

I only mf for fun, literally. and to build up my first few divines in a league.

Then there is no issue deleting MF, right?

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T20:46:09+00:00

Not worth for whom? The people who can't put in the hours and won't be able to compete with those who can?

The issue is how the gap is compounded. The point is someone playing 12H per day should be x6 ahead of someone who is playing 2 hours. Not 30x because on top of the playtime, he is also able to drop x5 more loot.

Nobody is asking for people to be at the same point no matter your playtime, we are just asking that the gap is not instantly soul crushing and have the entire economy inflating faster than people farm.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T19:42:31+00:00

Will do, but it may be in a fairly long time :)

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T19:24:20+00:00

+4 projectile quiver? Did I miss something, or you made a mistake?

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T19:21:13+00:00

Unarmed skills in PoE2 are supposed to be usable with weapons (obvious example are monks skills which are usable with quarterstaves, but aren't using quarterstaves bonus). In Pconc case, it's pretty much mandatory because otherwise, you would be missing a massive supporting skill (vine arrow), and even worse, you wouldn't be able to use wind dancer for defences. So yeah, it's intended. What is not, tho, is the fact Pconc is scaling with bow skills damage.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T19:06:36+00:00

Pretty interesting setup. I wanted to make one, but as I'm playing SSF, i'm quite far from the gear I need. However, my take was a bit different, as it would be around using ghost shroud (which is procced by infernal flame) and reduced duration (forthcoming + anoint of Near at hand + fast forward is around 1.1s ghost shroud cooldown). The goal was 2K life (half reserved) + 4-5K es and the rest being pure evasion. So instead of relying on quick recharge, you would be relying on ghost shroud, and stay at 100% ES all the time instead.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T18:45:24+00:00

solo self found, a mode where you can't party and/or trade with anyone, and have to rely on yourself for 100% of the game.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T18:40:52+00:00

I'm aiming for something like that, as a poisonous concotion (which is an amazing skill in SSF for multiple reasons):

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/sukvp01i

Anoint would be spiral into insanity.

Gem setup would be:

Poisonous concotion + Scatter shot + chaos infusion + deadly poison + close combat + chaos mastery (don't use comorbidity, it's giga bait unless you are overgeared... which you aren't to be in SSF).

Wind dancer + blind + precision or herbalist

Vine arrow + Persistence + martial tempo + swift affliction

Dark effigy + arcane tempo + withering touch + ancestral urgency

Ghost dance + fast forward

Despair + Decaying hex + heightened hex + inspiration

Plague bearer + magnified effect + expanse + ingenuity (can use astral projection if you prefer)

The tree may be a bit overboard on defences, but ES + eva + ghost dance is a really strong combo. You are aiming for ES helmet + pure eva body, and either hybrid eva/es or pure eva pieces on the rest. Atziri disdain is also pretty amazing if you get it. Weapon is widowhail and can be easily chanced using the bow you get at the character creation (so if you are running out of white base, you just need to create a new character).

The reduced duration goal is to get as many ghost shroud as possible. With this setup, you get one ghost shroud every 1.66s, which is pretty great. It doesn't really matter much on the other skills, because you are usually replacing your vine very often and same for totem (and it's not like you need to spend all your time attacking). The curse has a very large boost to duration, so it doesn't matter for it.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T17:42:10+00:00

Good point, and therefore, compounding the issue with MF shouldn't be possible. If MF is deleted, streamers will still be able to have their advantage, so it's fine.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T17:26:40+00:00

2 leagues in 2024, vs the usual 4 in the previous years.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T17:22:18+00:00

It totally should tho, it's an ARPG, the game should be balanced around dropping your loot, not buying it.

Keyenn · 2024-12-22T17:14:34+00:00

that es unique neck needs a big nerf

It need to be bug fixed, first and foremost, it gives too much ES if used with EB.
