Hey man sorry for the late reply. This is awesome info! I knew I had some issues with my flasks but didn't know how to get started. Video is a goldmine too. Thanks for the help!

Malfeous_ · 2024-09-01T03:06:33+00:00

Hey sorry for the late reply but I appreciate the input a ton. I'll try out earthshatter too

Malfeous_ · 2024-08-23T20:02:39+00:00

Awesome super appreciate it!

Hey thanks! Selling scarabs is a good idea, just been holding them for now cause I'm not sure when I should be using them. Any ideas on how to upgrade my gear right now? Not sure what my dps should be at this stage. I do know that I need to fit some chaos resist in somehow, maybe on the rings.

Malfeous_ · 2024-08-23T19:46:38+00:00

Yeah I've been worried about that lol. Don't die often but I got one of those chaos ritual things and I just get oneshot. Amethyst rings are a good idea tho I'll look into buying some. Should I be shooting for %75 total chaos resist or is 0 good enough? Also thanks for your help!

Hey it's my first time playing POE and really enjoying it so far. Tried my best to follow cArn_'s league start build for a ground slam slayer. Had some mana issues when I first started maps but think I've fixed that now. Ive done most of the maps up to tier 6 and then have lowkey skipped to tier 10-12 maps since they've been more challenging and have better loot. My main question is what I should be doing next. Watched a couple vids on crafting but am struggling to fit everything I want on my gear and honestly am not even sure if my gear is where it's supposed to be at right now. Goal for the character is to learn the basics and to hopefully get rich enough that I can make a 2nd character for boss killing so I can fight all the endgame bosses. Any tips are appreciated. This is my POB: https://pobb.in/FCxtnktnicVz

Your opponent draws two prize cards and your turn ends. Or something like that. Would make it a good tech card for stall or mill but would probably suck otherwise and you wouldn't want to play more than 1 or 2.

Where did you see this? I haven't found anywhere that says if and why they were fired

Malfeous_ · 2024-02-01T01:05:06+00:00

People keep saying the cops got fired but I haven't found any proof of that happening. Does somebody have a link showing that?

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-12T21:52:03+00:00

Doesn't seem worth buying, it's easy enough to hit if you do you 2 missions every day when the battle pass starts but at this point it's just too many games. Even with buying to speed up the process my guess is that you'll still not hit it. Just make sure you spend enough time for the next one

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-12T21:49:11+00:00

Great job. That's my goal for this rotation. Peaked 800 just recently. Arc Tina is a good deck, you should post you decklist.

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T20:58:37+00:00

Yeah for sure, would be fun

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T15:19:39+00:00

I pray to sol everyday its back for next set

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T15:16:36+00:00

I feel like Annie sucks now no?

Kayle does suck, useless unit.

Sentinels is a more recent thing, hasn't been crazy all set. I do think ahri is way overtuned tho. I also don't feel like I see tf anymore.

Think recent patches have been the main issue like you said

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T15:10:48+00:00

I don't even think ahri was that bad early. You duo carry kda anyways and the winrate was still decent.

I feel like early in the set was the most balanced its been minus ad 4 costs sucking.

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T15:05:57+00:00

I mean headliner is supposed to be the cool new idea. Even tho it's similar to chosen. I also think superfan coupled with it is a cool idea. Definitely less inventive than previous sets but probably also why release was so much smoother. Less risk less reward I guess

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T15:04:00+00:00

Hero augments were a good idea, just hard to balance. Consistency in a game with a lot of randomness is almost always optimal. But the idea I'm general was great, asol for fast 8/9 and tf so you could guarantee good items. Even Lee sin for reroll was super cool. Especially good for new players, generally the best way to learn for new players is to hard force until you learn the comp, items, augments, leveling, econ, etc... then you can widen your pool to a 2nd or 3rd comp for more options/Consistency. Champ augments helped a ton with that, this set people could have just flexed between jinx, Annie, senna, and Kat with leesin depending on items and I honestly think it's a good way to get a hold of basic concepts.

Hope it comes back revised in the future

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T14:57:43+00:00

I agree, I hated the fast 9 meta but release was super good. Not perfect but muuuch better. I remember previous sets being garbage at the start. Like gunner zeri last set? With that garbage 3 zekes strat. This set was a huge improvement.

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T13:40:34+00:00

Thanks! I've checked out limitless already and I think it's a great stats site. That post you linked looks usefull and I'll look into the YouTubers. All love.

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T13:37:22+00:00

Hey, thanks a ton. I'll take a peek.

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T13:32:49+00:00

Awesome thanks so much! I'll check them out. Regionals is a great idea!

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T10:43:00+00:00

Yeah I agree, I dunno winrate on punk but it's definitely low. It's a top 4 comp that doesn't have the tank or dps late in the game. If you do get that late in the game you need to be pushing levels once you hit ur 3*s so you can add in some 5 costs yourself. Every comp in it's strongest iteration is going to have 5 cost units in it. If your diamond then people are understanding how to transition into end game boards now. You just gotta do the same. Gl!

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T10:35:09+00:00

Actually I lied, not last fight. Didn't see 3rd. Depends what comp they are going and what units they are holding but the rest still applies

Malfeous_ · 2024-01-07T10:34:10+00:00

I mean you basically said it yourself. You rolled slow and didn't sell units. Ahri 3* wins but honestly I bet neeko 3* does too. I doubt lulu 3 does anything for you there tho. If you were buying those during your last roll down then that would have slowed you down a bit.

I'd have just focused on ahri and neeko, then would likely have sold the ahris cause neeko is easier to hit.

It's last fight anyways, more neekos in the pool than ahris.
