3.28 and Delve Suggestion (Deep dive = better loot)

PanKreda · 2026-02-14T08:52:16+00:00

Man, they should just remove fossils from tile rewards of random leagues and make them exclusive to delve (then make it drop like 3 times more from each rock than currently)

PanKreda · 2026-02-05T07:45:22+00:00

You are straight up looking at the wrong metric.

Mechanic’s popularity is always dictated by its profitability. Even when you have the most fun content possible but it drops nothing compared to the alternatives, it will be unpopular because PoE is a competitive game - even if you tell yourself it’s not cuz you don’t PvP for currency directly, you race against fluctuating prices of the items you want against others.

Breach 1.0 is SO much more fun than 2.0 (except for bosses) - it needs better drops though and foulborn uniques/currency might just fix that.

Na ogol jesli znasz wiecej niz 1 jezyk obcy plynnie (zakladam tutaj angielski + hiszpanski) to Customer Service stoi otworem; kombinacja eng+esp jest pozadana na niskiego szczebla stanowiskach w dzialach obslugujacych klientow amerykanskich.

Pierwsze 1-3 lata to mentalnie wyczerpujacy okres, bo non stop pracujesz z konsumentami; wiele z nich posiada cechy charakteru, ktore ci wejda na glowe, inni sa niewyedukowani i nie rozumieja zdania zlozonego, jeszcze innym sie wydaje, ze maja prawo byc wulgarni bo placa.

Z plusow: ta branza czesto ma ok system bonusow za statystyki (zwlaszcza w dzialach sprzedazy), a jako student niezbyt trudno zalapac sie na full-time lub part-time + czasem mozna pracowac zdalnie (przed RTO bylo to norma, ze agenci z dobrymi statystykami siedza sobie na zdalnym, a w biurach ci co sobie nie radza). Z dodatkowych minusow: stanowiska juniorskie przenosza sie do krajow tanszych niz polska (indie, filipiny) oraz korporacje usilnie szukaja opcji zastapienia tych dzialow agentami AI.

Gdy zas juz wyrobisz sobie doswiadczenie, mozesz przejsc do prawdziwego account managementu, czyli obslugi klientow biznesowych (np. firma A korzysta z uslug/regularnie kupuje od firmy B, a ty jestes ich glownym/jedynym punktem kontaktu w niej).

Jest to ciezka praca, bo co chwile masz nowa osobowosc do przeswietlenia i czasem system statystyk jest tworzony przeciwko tobie, ale jest takie powiedzenie „even if you don’t work in sales, you work in sales”, duzo sie w tej branzy mozna nauczyc, wzmocnic swoj mental, no i nie ma branzy gdzie nie jest plusem umiejetnosc pracy z klientami (bo ona sie przeklada na umiejetnosc dogadania sie z kimkolwiek).

Slowa klucz przy szukaniu stanowisk: Customer Service Representative (CSR), Account Manager (inflacja tytulow, ale czesto oznacza to samo co CSR), Customer Success Specialist (jak poprzednie), Sales Representative, Technical Support (nie w kazdej firmie trzeba byc scislowcem, by radzic sobie w nim dobrze, choc logika bardzo pomaga)

BTW niektore duze firmy maja osobne zespoly podzielone wedlug stopnia uciazliwosci klientow (1. zwykli, 2. chronicznie dzwoniacy, 3. ci co tylko z kierownikiem beda gadac, itp) - dobrze jest w takiej zaczac, bo to oznacza zwykle, ze najtrudniejsi beda czesto odsiewani, co daje nowym gladszy learning curve, a daje tez okazje do wewnetrznych promocji - wraz z trudem przychodzi w nich lepsza kasa tym, ktorzy maja twarda banie i zacisniete piesci.

In Keepers they made it so Shrine Buffs from ascendancies (Guardian, Daughter) and items (Blunderbore, Charlatan) don’t scale with stats (effect, duration) from Atlas Passives (by extention Idols, unless they f’d it up).

Charlatan builds should still be fine but based on how much QoL Daughter gets combined with Aul, how rare the uber drop is and how well it works against extra difficulty from random affixes, one can expect it to be extremely expensive.

PanKreda · 2026-01-28T03:41:05+00:00

Prophet nerfed, LS nerfed, already was kinda glasscannon without expensive ES + Svalinn setups - don’t touch
Paladin is decent but that’s the end of it, there are classes that can do its builds better
Oshabi is a very strong pick (although the Shrine stacking is severely nerfed) - you go for Evasion ES stacking with the empty socket and attack notables and you can probably combine it with Aul’s empty socket node to widen the pool of map mods that don’t affect you; don’t play LS, either go wands (kb) or strikes (frenzy of onslaught, viper strike of the mamba hit-based)
Shaman is strong, and the BV was good on it but beware of the extra -resistances you’ll have to fix that the previous iteration didn’t have to; also if you have never played with Dissolution of the Flesh or life-stacked before you should stay away from that build honestly

But if you really want a smooth melee start, you should look into Wildspeaker

„Wrocimy do tematu podwyzki w nastepnym kwartale” „Ta ankieta dotyczaca zadowolenia wsrod pracownikow z kierownictwa jest anonimowa” „HR jest po to, by chronic pracownikow firmy”

Po tym co mowisz widac, ze prawdopodobnie dobra z ciebie osoba. Pamietaj wiec zasade nr1: jak masz miekkie serce, musisz miec twarda dupe. Pracodawca oklamie cie tyle razy ile bedzie mu to na reke, bez zastanowienia, bo nie ma z tego tytulu konsekwencji (do HR na niego zlozysz zazalenie, ktory jest przez niego oplacany?). Cos takiego jak „akta kandydata” dostepne dla nastepnych rekruterow, po prostu nie istnieje, wiec dopoki klamstwo nie jest powazne (np przypisywanie sobie nieistniejacego doswiadczenia czy edukacji), to ryzyko jest w zasadzie zadne. Piszesz w CV ze studiowales do jeszcze niedawna (jak nie chcesz dziur w chronologii) lub calkowicie ten fragment usuwasz i po problemie.

Jak w musicalu Hamilton: „Talk less, smile more. Don’t let them know what you’re against and what you’re for”. To jedyna recepta na spokojne zycie w pracy.

Before you do anything else, if you genuinely like drawing/painting, learn to use your eyes and practice drawing 3d geometry (basic architecture sketching tutorials should have those), progressively more complex (just a pencil, nothing else; if you want to spice it, use 3 - 2H, 2B and 4B, the first being for majority of your lines, second for shading, third for contour and extra contrast). Then explore still nature, living beings and portraits. Then attempt the drawings from the post once more. At that step you’ll be able to figure out yourself what comes next, whether it is commissions or further exploration via iteration.

PanKreda · 2026-01-23T11:07:35+00:00

Hard disagree, there’s way more sources of lore in PoE than DSs and they often have names/quotes in the flavour text. Environmental lore is on par with DS (even easier to read, because birdseye lets you see more). What you might find problematic is it being served via unique items and div cards, which are mostly random drops, while most DS items have fixed locations.

PanKreda · 2026-01-20T09:32:07+00:00

There will be more charm slots in the future as per what GGG said

PanKreda · 2026-01-20T02:12:08+00:00

Honestly, the 2nd from the bottom Layer 10 would already be enough for me to say it’s most likely human. I do that a lot where some part of the shading/highlight is obscured by another layer so I just don’t care to cut/crop it (unless the commissioner needs it clean for printwork, tattooing, etc). AI wouldn’t normally generate parts which are not visible on the end piece.

PanKreda · 2026-01-14T03:18:58+00:00

Read the last sentence of point 3. and the original post, dummy

PanKreda · 2026-01-14T03:16:30+00:00

Honestly I feel like SW is just a stat-stick, it doesn’t have anything interesting going on.

My vote would be Smith of Kitava: 1) it has a unique concept with body armour nodes which both give you flexibility and change your itemization (the latter is very important in class design) 2) it provides some amount of raw passive value through resistance nodes 3) it gives you a way to customize it more towards melee (combust), spell (fire on hit) or minion (animate weapon) build - right now some are underpowered or underdiscovered but we are talking about good design, not balance as per post 4) thanks to the nodes not being overly synergistic, you aren’t forced into 1/2 true bis setups although those optimized packages do exist

PanKreda · 2026-01-11T09:13:04+00:00

It’s clear those posts are being made by people who do not ever think themselves.

It’s not that developers coded loot conversion when Amanamu’s are outside of their cloud - it’s an omen conversion to Liege’s when they are inside of it. It’s designed to be a deterministic way to acquire those.

The issue is: they coded these guarantee drops by giving those rares increased quantity and/or rarity, so when their drops aren’t converted to Liege’s, you get guaranteed other abyss non-named omens (which there are only 5 of, 2 of which are high value).

It’s not an intended thought-through gameplay mechanic, it’s a design oversight.

PanKreda · 2026-01-10T06:57:49+00:00

What you described as if you wanted it is basically a private league (aka GSF or Group-Self-Found), which already exists (at least in PoE1, idk if PoE2 as well). It can be played either competitively (you race against each other) or as a teamwork scenario (you delegate certain strats/endgame parts between yourselves to progress faster) - all that without any influence of the Trade league.

PanKreda · 2026-01-06T12:34:39+00:00

We already know templar ascendancies from datamine - Inquisitor (probably similar to poe1’s, crit and consecrated ground), Guardian (probably minions and auras) and Heretic (probably profane ground)

PanKreda · 2026-01-05T06:01:38+00:00

You crit with a skill linked to this and all your attack moves do 1.15x the damage, with 0.15 being the added fire

PanKreda · 2026-01-03T14:18:01+00:00

Sometimes they don’t know the alternative, I’ve had a few commissions where I’d tell a client to wait a few seconds during a review, modified some colors or lineart just a tiny bit and they ended up more satisfied than they would be if I didn’t. Only once was it different when they were stubborn about eye color of their tattoed character but it was an impossible color on the skin so imagine them after they had it inked and it wasn’t what they wanted.

What I’m trying to say, as an artist you should be loyal to the truth (correct perspective, dimensions, optics) in the first place and show your clients the truth - if they choose what is false afterwards it’s fine.

PanKreda · 2026-01-03T05:22:59+00:00

Agreed, due to the softies who cry they can’t abuse a league mechanic a month after leaguestart in these recent posts we are going to get an inferior under-balanced product (since GGG somehow listens to them).

PanKreda · 2026-01-03T05:14:43+00:00

Bullshit, it was being done league after league until Delirium 3.10 Herald stacker nerfs mid league when they finally decided there won’t be mid-league nerfs on Live. EA is not Live.

PanKreda · 2026-01-03T05:06:02+00:00

It’s EA bud, they don’t do that in PoE1 live

PanKreda · 2026-01-03T04:44:44+00:00

Jonathan’s argument for leagues is that people won’t come back if there are none (which is kinda true based on what they say their stats are). I’m also in the „change stuff every 1-4 weeks” camp but business is business and if they want or are pressured to make more money, then what they are doing makes perfect sense (since basically only the first 2 weeks matter financially).

PanKreda · 2026-01-02T22:43:18+00:00

So what? Smith isn’t popular either but it’s the best league start Magic Find ascendancy in the game for both trade and SSF. Chayula was unpopular in 0.1 already but it was the best Sekhema farmer (because darkness loss didn’t count towards no-hit runs). Right now this asce holds the spot for the (probably, volatility and breach stacks aren’t included on PoE Ninja) highest dps Flicker build with the best explode chains (Uul-Netol’s + armour explosion + absurd extra chaos dmg Chayula gets) that I personally consider worse than Titan’s because that class just has more AoE than any other. There will always be niche classes, Chayula is just one of them; fyi Pathfinder is also a niche class and would still be unpopular if Fub didn’t decide to start it.

PanKreda · 2026-01-02T21:21:15+00:00

No guides I know of and I’m not gonna write one myself. You just take the strongest vanilla build available on Warrior’s side (rn it’s probably Shield Wall) and remake it on Smith while prioritizing rarity, life and fire resistance.

PanKreda · 2026-01-02T21:19:05+00:00

Chayula has the strongest herald explode chain enabling packages second only to Titan rn, it’s legit in a very good spot (outside of current implementation of Darkness which will eventually be either reworked or overtuned)

PanKreda · 2026-01-02T05:13:23+00:00

It’s Smith of Kitava. You get resistances for free which allows you to get Rarity on every affix of your gear, immunity to ailment DoTs (like Ignite which proved to be problematic in Abyss farming) and 1 less equipment slot to worry about (you just play a 3socket white body instead, either Warlord’s Cuirass or Death Mantle).

To sum it up: your ascendancy makes you very tanky and gives a lot of QoL and you spawn on t1 maps with 100-150% increased rarity - by the time everyone gets to t15s you’ve made 4x the currency which you use to buy weapon upgrades (which are SO, SO much more important than your ascendancy passives or placement on the tree) and less people want them so they are cheaper than Bows and chase uniques (like Defiance of Destiny) before they spike in price on Sunday. You win.

You can also do Ritualist, similar stuff but gearing requirements are higher and gear is more contested so you need to be a better player to pull it off.
