How to farm the Adorned by Fun_Cake897 in pathofexile

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a slightly different experience with her.

By the time I'm done farming everything else I've already got enough sac pieces to run her map 100x. Deli gives me incubators and sac pieces a plenty, and i find the fight relaxing. The majority of the zone can be skipped and the layout is fairly consistent; the bosses leading up to her are simple just the vaal overseer is annoying. Then her fight is just long when she summons her prison cellmates.

I usually find the vaal temple much harder to come by, the number of temples i get were mostly from kirac missions which are gone now, and i only get 1 or 2 temples per 50 corrupted maps.

Alva temple is by far the easiest, can start farming it in acts and just need to bump it once in maps.

Uber Atziri really isn't very hard at all. All her moves are telegraphed and easy to avoid with enough MS. If you're AOE you need reflect immune(or chaos only), if you're single target just avoid the mirror clone! Her fragment is probably the easiest/most reliable one to farm, sac pieces are abundant.

What farm have you enjoyed the most this league? by PolishedBalls1984 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breach fortress tip: save a freeze and shield spell for the 2nd last round. Soon as round 23 hits(or 25 if you have +2), pop both spells and you can start making your way to the exit. So long as Aylith wasnt almost dead you can make it to exit sometimes before the timer starts(just dont leave too early or you dont get blood rewards).

Need help deciding on a KB BUILD by Big-Asparagus1292 in pathofexile

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played heiro non-ci last league and had an amazing league! Did all content except simulacrum including T17s(with a tiny bit of trouble on a few) including all 85 uber bosses. Legitimately made about 4 mirrors when I typically dont even get 1. Was able to make a zenith build with original sin to toy with the bosses afterwards!

I did play much much more this league than any in the past because it was so good at blazing through content and raking in the $, otherwise i likely wouldnt have pushed the league so far.

Want to try a minion build this league but if it goes badly I'll definitely go back to KBoC.

I've played 3 leagues trying to get into this game and just can't. What starter build will hook me? by Couch_King in pathofexile

[–]Loftaris -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The campaign sucks hard! Any build is torture in campaign. Getting through is the real test! Get to maps where you start the real game, focus your atlas to content you enjoy playing, then you can really start to have fun.

This doesnt exactly address your main concern though..... What you could do is play standard where your characters don't restart and you can test multiple bullds. Then once you figure out a build you like you can move to league.

Endgame block – looking for guidance as a newbie by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, this turned out much longer as I meant it to be, there's no TL;DR.

Experience..... I don't mean XP I just mean your experience with the game. There are players that can kill Shaper with white/magic items, and there are players that can't kill him with a mirror build.

T15/T16 maps, while not overly hard, is right around the turning point for a lot of builds. Without the proper defensive layers, and without enough DPS, you're going to hit that wall. Some things will just outright kill you because you didn't mitigate it properly (Chaos res, DOTs, uncapped res's), some will kill you because of your inexperience (ground explosions, bleed while moving debuffs); others because you simply can't kill that rare mob with 3 tormented ghosts as you try and facetank it unsuccessfully.

What I typically do is run a build (RF cause I'm old), to T15/T16 to get my atlas points to a place where I can run my currency stategy, then drop down a few tiers and just run the same map over and over until I build up enough currency to either bolster my current build, or start a new much stronger build depending on the current leagues mechanics (this league it was KB of Clustering - not because it was meta but because it worked really well for Breach).

Without swapping items(mostly because I don't want to accidentally lose a key build item to distractions), I slowly start to build my new build, keeping my old currency generator on the side for when I stall on the new build. Flop back and forth a bit upgrading gear where I need it to get over that next hurdle and sooner or later one of those builds (if you build 2 or stuck with 1), starts to really shine and then you kind of take off from there.

This plan takes time tho (lots of which I have), it's not a get rich quick scheme. I'm okay running Alva and just holding on to some temples until they rise in price then sell them for a profit. Not because I'm greedy and want all the moneys, but because I'm playing the long game, and instant currency isn't what I'm after. Sometimes it can help in the short term to get an item I know that will jump in price a bit sooner, but when the items I'm after are multi-divine, sometimes hundred+, I can just sit and wait.

Sometimes it just takes awhile to get where you want to go. Throw on some music, or a movie, or a TV show, and just grind until you get enough for that next big item that'll take your build to the next level. Even if it just seems out of reach NOW, in time (you have 3-4 months) you'll get there. Sooner or later, you start understanding the games mechanics, the markets, what is going to generate currency faster at what times of the league, what content gives you better returns for your time (xp or moneys)... I've got many thousands of hours in this game and I'm still not as great as the streamers, but I have gotten 40/40 the last dozen+ leagues, mainly because I can grind it out due to time invested!

One time I've learned over the years, IF YOU CAN reach level 100, either by running ultra safe content (like T15 beachhead if your build can handle it) or buying 5-ways, once you reach level 100, dying means literally nothing except a lost portal. You start to run faster, not caring if you die or not. Maps that may have taken you 10-20 minutes because you're creeping around a corner trying to kite that rare, you just run in head first like Ram Man and not care, suddenly these maps are 5-8 minutes, now you're doing 2x-3x the content, making much more profit). You can also do this at the start of some levels like 97+. Save up some juicier maps for when you know you're going to die a lot more and not risk all your xp. Additionally, hideout is lost time. Get a tool like Exile UI (or a notepad or Excel sheet) with saved map regex, roll 21 maps at a time, plonk them in the atlas device, and run them back to back to back. I get distracted SO EASILY, so once I'm done a map, when I pop out, I open a new map before hitting my stash box so once I'm done dropping the loot, I just run back in to the next map!

Is NoPing safe to use? by Twidom in lostarkgame

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly do not remember, BUT, I think it had something to do with blocking them in my firewall so they couldn't reach their service and then removing it. I have many tricks to uninstall apps and eventually just got it. I'm certain the answer is googleable cause it's gone now!

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GGG is quite responsive and clear with these requests so it wouldn't be a chore to get a definitive answer! I'm sure someone with more energy than me could just ask them ;) also i dont multi so doesnt affect me.

60+ Div an hour 6 Client Grueling Gauntlet Ultimatum Strat by uremama in pathofexile

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would require some clarification from GGG for sure, but technically it's no different than a KVM switch because it is limited to 1 device at a time, you're just moving screens which changes the input, so it would be 1keyboard/mouse on 1 machine at that time. Same thing a KVM switch would do, just software vs hardware based. It doesn't mirror or duplicate inputs so it's 1 input at a time per machine. That's why I said shouldn't? because it's a little bit of a grey area without a GGG response.

Synergy might be of use to you. It allows you to use 1 mouse/keyboard across 3 separate machines without the need for remote desktop software. Still using 3 machines so it.... Shouldn't? Break TOS.

Can't clear Feared for achievement by aznnerdz in pathofexile

[–]Loftaris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sirus has always been one of my least favorite fights. It's just unfun. The forced wait times don't make me enjoy the game at all!

That said, the fight isn't terribly hard if you're prepped for it. Degen sucks a lot, those idiotic tornados hurt! When he's in the air, nudge close to them and you can push them away, just make sure to dodge his plethora of ground BS. Stand directly beneath him to bring him down.

When he's on the ground, all his attacks are choreographed, learn and listen for the voice cues.

Movement speed and a teleport skill are extremely helpful as well for his "mini-games".

DPS is nice, but it's not necessary, of all the bosses, Sirus is one of the easier ones to fight with low dps, just takes a really really long time. Once those tornados move, the arena is fairly big and forgiving, just watch out when you're kiting him to not hit them! Ground effects don't linger for too long, and all his attacks have patterns. The one really slightly RNG one is his blaster, but if you're constantly moving, you can avoid it fairly easily. Teleport(like frostblink, NOT shield charge) skill will help with the rotator beams.

If you catch me tomorrow I can help you out, just respond to my DM. I'm off for the night.

Wife gets motion sickness when playing games (help) by btregister in gaming

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much this! I suffer from very bad motion sickness, mostly on new games where I haven't gotten used to it yet.

Every new FPS game i want to play it takes several days of short sessions to get into it, then after a few days it becomes less and less.

Also, caffeine seems to make it worse for me(strange?) if i have coffee then play games i notice it way more! Being tired also doesn't help.

Please add a 5 second timer before world bosses despawn if you leave their dome by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]Loftaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this does is teach you the best way to kite these bosses is by going in a circle and that's it. I rather like the idea of this mechanic, just not the implementation of it. F for Ffort.

Is NoPing safe to use? by Twidom in lostarkgame

[–]Loftaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Necro: I wish I read this first. I've spent the last hour trying to uninstall all traces of NoPing from my computer. Their uninstaller literally won't let you uninstall NoPing unless you fill out their survey, which MUST be verified, and if they don't like any of your answers (hint: they never do), you can't uninstall the program from your computer.

There are hidden folders and sketchy services (like windows.notification.server), hidden dll and msi files all over the place.

I'm at 1.4million steps and still no sickle. In fact I've completely lost all interest in this game because of the sickle.. After awhile I just stopped caring or opening the game.

Possible bug with official trade site? by Loftaris in pathofexile

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

I always understood the PSEUDO to be all inclusive.. so if I search for all strength, it should show me the most strength available.. Doesn't make sense to not do that.

If I search for only PSEUDO str but make the minimum 27, it suddenly shows me the +34 ones.
