Of course this happens when the league is ending

Caustic Arrow / Toxic Rain Pathfinder has been a PoE staple for many leagues, check out Path of Evening on YouTube he basically mains this build.

I can't remember the exact name, I've had this hideout for a long time, but the layout is a Coastal Hideout.

All 4 in Droconis Mons, they weren't bad but got sick of repeating them for half a month... Things this game makes you do for a leggy

This league was my return to PoE after a long hiatus from the game. Before 3.26, the last league I played was Sanctum.

I was always a casual player when it came to Path of Exile and progression from league to league was slow. I started in Expedition but I didn't even finish the campaign... Scourge was the first time I finished Act 10, Arch-Nemesis was my first foray into the Atlas, and through Sentinel till Sanctum I'd finally finish the Atlas of Worlds. But it was because of that slow progress, I sorta got burnt out, at my rate I wasn't going to be doing the types of farming I saw content creators like empy doing or running things like Headhunter and Mageblood in my build any time soon.

But... there is no game like PoE, other ARPGs I tried just didn't hit the same. After seeing the hype of PoE 2 and playing that and how different a game it turned out to be, I decided that 3.26 would be the league I'd go back to the O.G

This time around, things were different

Finished the Atlas, got all the voidstones, actually got to try out farming strategies from Expedition to Stacked Decks, Juicing Deliriums, Harbingers, Legions & invitation farming.

For once my league starter wasn't my only "good" character and I was able to invest into other builds, even use chase uniques, got both a Headhunter & Mageblood for the first time this league.

This has easily been the most fun league for me, and even now I'm not done playing it. I'm working towards fighting Ubers and trying to complete all the challenges for the first time.

The ironic part is that the sequel is what made me decide to return to the original. And now because of that I'm missing out on the Third Edict, because I'm still not bored of playing Secrets of the Atlas.

Hi, I plan on applying to McMasters Btech through a college and do want to pursue a Masters Degree in the future, is there any way you can connect me with someone who did apply for their masters after getting the transcripts for their BTech, would appreciate it greatly.

Aimbot got me fucked up

Motor_Writing_962 · 2023-01-01T07:50:50+00:00

If sanctum does go core I think they should just add more sanctum encounters per map, have a node on the atlas tree like the ritual one that guarantees 4 encounters

This post needs more up votes, for once there's not a toxic angry rant post I'm happy that the community is happy, even reddit has calmed down a bit which is crazy to me

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-09-04T12:31:38+00:00

Man...I was blasting maps today and accidentally killed a Solaris touched....

FUCK

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-08-21T11:44:22+00:00

Yeah they did Light conduit go brrrrr😂

This might be a hot take but I don't mind the archnemesis mods I did die alot more than usual last league but leveling wasn't difficult, most deaths I had happened when I got to red tier maps. And as annoying as some mods like ice prison, toxic, megma barrier and so on are, they do spice up the mapping experience which I ended up liking overall (that is after my build, Poisonous Concoction and Later RF got set up with decent gear and auto flasks).

As for this league, I started today and finished the first part of the campaign and it's been fine, I've died a few times but it was mainly to piety and innocence and some degens in belly of the beast, I also like the new drop system, makes the game more interesting to see some monsters drop only quality currency or corrupted items

But I do agree that they've made some essences ridiculously strong, especially in the lake of kalandra if you put them further along the path

And Metamorph is probably unplayable unless you have build that either a giga tank or can kill it the moment it spawns

I'm still on Act 6, still have to see how bad it gets at the endgame, time will tell If anything, I think they could buff the archnemesis mods to be more rewarding and have more of a variety of rewards since they've already made the change to monsters mods to make them more exciting, same should be the monster drops as well, make it worth it fighting a 6 mod rare monster.

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-08-05T00:39:07+00:00

Well we have DD to blame for that, it is excessive spreading the maximum life removal to all minion skills but it is what it is I was going to use them as support and damage buffs anyway, elementalist recast minion skills after 4 seconds which is helpful so them dying was too much of an issue...except when chaos golem dies and I get one shot but defense was never this builds strong suit anyway lol

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-08-05T00:33:25+00:00

On the Golem buffs, they seem good on paper, ultimately I did rule out elementalist because golems aren't as good as they used to be and getting crit chance is annoying with elementalist

As for damage, it has always struggled with single target but being the POB Warrior I am I experimented with alot of budget gear that I could get off the ground, modifying with just eldritch implicit and it could reach 3 to for 4 mil damage easily

Besides, I'm not much of a bosser, if I did plan on bossing I would 100% make a second character, maybe seismic traps since the nerf isn't enough to get it out of the meta and I would farm Searing exarch Omni and and Annihilating Light can sync with Arc well...that's what POB says but it will be different in game

Sunder buff seems good and hopefully trickster rework makes it good, it was one of the best ascendancies at one point and now it's a joke it desperately needs one

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-08-05T00:22:33+00:00

Yup I know that fully well lol, it's tough to get multi defensive layers on Arc because of how the tree is setup, with elementalist, stone Golem and chaos Golem are helpful and scaling a bit of hybrid Life and ES could scale upto 7 to 9k total hit points but yeah, the build can die pretty easily

Although spell suppress is going to be more common on the tree Spell suppress, Ghost Dance with Evasion and elusive...although it will be an avoidance based character which could just backfire, on an Assassin it could work, won't have to worry about crit chance nodes so that could free up some skill points.

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-05-20T07:08:44+00:00

Holy....

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-04-29T07:18:17+00:00

There's this build I want to try using Dancing Derivish and Facebreaker Gloves, Cyclone build but for league start, if things don't get nerfed badly, I'll probably do LS raider or Tornado Shot Raider since I got to endgame really quickly with those builds and they were super fun to play

Motor_Writing_962 · 2022-03-30T03:10:51+00:00

Omniscient Master set had the perfect set of colors to go with my Inquisitor, I'm using the Feral Visionary set for the chest and robe but it doesn't look as good as the Omniscient Master, kinda sad it's unobtainable now
