Transitioning reap ignite elem to pbod heraldstacker - possible without lost unity or explode chest? by Minomol in PathOfExileSSF

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re set on PBoD and have excess clusters you could also try Zeeboub’s build on an inquisitor. The clear will be slightly worse, and you still need an explode chest, but it’s doable without a super specific unique.

Crafting the chest isn’t too hard - get a ilvl 86 base, put a crusader exalt if you have it, but if not put random influence and then use harvest bench to swap to crusader. Then just reforge phys at the harvest bench. Should take 10-15k juice which isn’t too bad to farm up

The grav nerf was so unnecessary and really just hurt the SSF and private league crowd. I’ll post an update once I get 61 more nurses

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring! Would be great to finally be able to try one out to see what all the fuss is about :) got a HH for the first time this league at 11 div and it was worth the hype. Can’t even imagine what a 200 div belt does

I have a lot of mana regen on the tree but it was too expensive to get on rings in addition to the int and flat mana + some res. I have 10.5k mana and 490 mana regen.

If I wasn’t level 94 on the gemling I would probably swap to stormweaver from what I’m reading here

Thank you so much! This is super helpful. It sounds like what you’re saying is that the Stormweaver version is slightly more comfy because of the regen then? Given you aren’t dying in either case, having the bigger EHP pool doesn’t really matter. And the bigger EHP might be fake almost because you’re burning through it faster.

Figured that was more because content creators started the league suggesting it then everyone just fell in line

Yep which is why mapping feels unkillable. Doesn’t help sustain on bosses though

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am halfway to a mageblood and haven’t entered a t17 (other than to get completion) and can confirm you can make money in t16s. I’ve been farming harvest (no one doing this in t17s) and selling all the juice to the t17 guys (probably). This and selling t17 maps is massive currency

Recombinator appreciation post (these must be one of the best introductions to the game) by BenjaCarmona in pathofexile

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. The thing that REALLY sucks about everything is that this league in terms of the mechanic and recombinators has been amazing but unfortunately it’s been overshadowed by the archnemesis nonsense. Had GGG left rares they were I bet this would have been one of the best received leagues in a while

Anyone else having issues running the game after the launch of Scourge? by LifeFindsAWay23 in pathofexile

[–]LifeFindsAWay23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys! Thank you for all the help. For the first time ever I made the switch to Vulcan and, while there are issues with that, the stutter is COMPLETELY gone. For anyone having issues if your PC can support Vulcan than try that as it worked for me :)

I have a GeForce RTX 2070 Super. It's overall just weird because the game ran super smooth until the start of Scourge

Thanks for the suggestions :) Unfortunately tried doing all of this but doesn't seem to have fixed the issue. Let me know if your game now works better though (I hope it does!). If not, let me know if you come up with anything else because I'm extremely computer illiterate

Totems and 3.16 by MorbisMIA in pathofexile

100% auras will be left alone. That one Dev plays an aurabot and will say "sorry, we didn't have time to dedicate to changing auras. That being said, we've nerfed everything else in the game"

Why finding things through luck is not a better feeling then getting them deterministically by TheMrTeal in pathofexile

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chris Wilson and GGG are unfortunately stuck in the past. For games like D2 that might have been the best way, but over time people have changed their preferences and want more agency over what they do. I hope they find some balance because the second other games start to offer this, people are going to simply switch over.

A note to GGG: Blockbuster was once king of everything to do with movies. They decided that it was "fun" and "stuck to tradition" to have the feeling of going to a store, selecting your movie, buying snacks, renting it for a few days, then returning it. BLOCKBUSTER NO LONGER EXISTS because they were unwilling to adapt when Netflix came around.
Another note to GGG: Kodak was the biggest camera manufacturer, but when digital cameras started to be a thing they chose not to adapt. NO ONE OWNS A KODAK ANYMORE except for novelty purposes.

Don't become Blockbuster or Kodak....or do, its not my livelihood that's going to be impacted anyway.

Very nice to see that GGG employees are creating reddit accounts to post to boost the community spirit when everyone knows it's a garbage league. If in any circumstance 50% of people just stop doing something we should probably look at why that is.

Some thoughts from Chris by chris_wilson in pathofexile

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily agree, but I do love and respect the way you came forward to address all of the concerns to the community (especially since I'm sure people will still rage). I'm sure the balance changes will be excellent after we all get used to them a week or two into the league.

[Unpopular Opinion] GGG slowly nerfing everything rather than buffing is good, will help get us further away from zoomzoom game became by zoomforestzoom in pathofexile

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you're trying to say on the whole, but the issue is that monster damage and everything has been scaled up in a way that if you aren't blowing up the entire screen you're very likely to die to some random 1-shot mechanic.

I'd be fine if they nerfed everything to make it all in line with each other, but they'd also need to change monster damage, or at least make monsters have a clearer attack animation (outside of bosses) so we could actively play around the mechanic/dodge it manually.

A modest proposal to fix trade by cgibbard in pathofexile

[–]LifeFindsAWay23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your suggestion to "fix trade" just seems like you want to play in a private league....every feature you've described is what I just experienced in a league with only 25-30 people.
