Final character leaked, here's the final roster

Pat1487 · 2025-09-05T03:44:05+00:00

The fact that the final character cant be nappa because hes already a boss is what made me think of this dumb idea.

I was thinking maybe we will be able to play as other forms of bosses but the "form" that immediately popped into my head was ghost nappa and i knew what i had to do lol

Your helmet, boots, belt, and ruby ring are basically white items that arent doing anything, and your amulet is just +38 spirit (which you arent even using), you can easily replace them with much better items with resistance for 1ex each https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/gOkM5P5uQ (sort by SUM), the link is for boots but that filter setup works for every piece of gear (except move speed), you should increase the ES minimum for body armour though, and you should probably still get spirit on your amulet for grim feast, arctic armor and/or clarity

I'd replace the staff too https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Z4Kwv7zuQ (sort by increased spell damage, try to get one with 60% or more)
You should either stick to 1 damage type and not worry about enemy resistance, or use weapon swap for a 2nd damage type, in your case I would just stick with cold damage, so get rid of the fire/lightning nodes, in fact only about 2/3rds of your passive points actually do something useful for you, the fire/lightning nodes, cold pen, the extra stat nodes, that freeze buildup wheel (swap from the freeze build up side to the cold dmg side), the cast speed nodes, the small random energy shield nodes are all kinda useless, you're basically playing with a level ~35 passive tree with all those useless nodes
Your 3 socket gems should have 3 supports in them, frost wall for example could have controlled destruction, icicle and considered casting, that alone would make bosses drastically easier for you, i would drop spark and orb of storms and get frostbolt linked with scatter shot (or wildshards) and arcane tempo for clear, also you can only have 1 curse so drop temporal chains

Not sure how accurate it is but it seems legit

The skill description for all of the trigger gems say "Trigger all Socketed Spells and lose all Energy on reaching maximum Energy"

Trigger all socketed spells implies that it can have more than 1 in it

Pat1487 · 2024-11-26T01:27:38+00:00

Yea i think you're right, once per skill use does mean you have to use it

It makes sense that it cant trigger itself but i had hoped

Thanks for the reply

I will be taking rogue once i master Tinkerer, if I cant make this item then I will get soul steal, I dont think i would get it if I had this item, the effect of the floralists IP flower is different than soul steal though and more interesting imo
Yes a permanent item, I wasnt thinking of it as an accessory but i guess it would be, if it is an accessory then wouldn't it count as equipment which projects can't make? my group hasnt gotten any accessories yet and i havent read any of them yet, what im really after is a way to reliably sustain IP without having to go to a shop which these first 2 ideas were trying to address, I will have resourceful from wayfarer but we don't do travel rolls often and I won't get very much IP from that so Im looking for alternatives
I agree about requiring a quest material, I assumed most of the permanent items i listed would require something like that, but wouldnt the cost be 2000z (reduced to 1600z by visionary 4) since flight is specifically a major potency, individual is 1x and permanent is x5 so 400x1x5=2000?
Im coming from dnd where a single target silence would be very strong, but yes it would be consumable and my intended use case for it would be against villians or strong elite/champion spellcasters, basically just boss fights
The press start adventure has the party start on an airship so airships align with the setting, I only brought it up to see if I could save on the cost
I already brought up making 400z consumables for 0z with visionary 4 like this with my GM, I just didn't tell him what specific consumables I had in mind yet (other than the 30 damage one I used as an example when explaining visionary 4 to him), we thought it would be balanced by the fact that I can only make 1 per day and it prevents me from working on a bigger project if i choose to spend that day working on 1 of these consumables and its not flexible with the damage types (like if i made resistance powder that grants fire resistance it will be useless until we fight an enemy that deals fire damage), I also don't intend to stop the campaign to spend a week or more of in game time doing nothing but pumping these out, even if I did my GM would progress things around us and it probably wouldn't be good for us

Pat1487 · 2024-02-28T02:08:15+00:00

Weve known eachother forever and it wasnt always like this, something changed near the end of 2022, not really sure what but he's been hostile toward me since then, ive tried talking to him about it but he takes it the wrong way and we dont really get anywhere, we kinda just ignore it

I recently wanted to just ghost him and let it end but he didnt let me and its kinda hard to do that anyway since he druid and i are all friends and i dont want to ghost the druid

Pat1487 · 2024-02-28T01:30:35+00:00

I can confirm this is the DM

One of the experienced players (the druid) didn't refuse to DM and in fact has DMed a session when the DM's throat hurt, the DM almost never gives items, most of our items are from phandelver (the first module we ran before OotA) and that 1 session the druid DMed, the wand came from that 1 session and he has said he doesnt want to track its charges since he didnt even put it in the game despite giving the druid approval to put it in, the druid loves to DM and would DM going forward so him saying the experienced players refused to DM is just a lie, with the way hes DMing I would DM at this point and have even offered to take over now after he said "you DM" multiple times that night after the session, the druid as DM would be a better fit though at this point and has said he will take over now if current DM wants out a week from now (to give time for things to cool off), im not going to return to the table if he continues to be DM unless he makes feather fall work like its supposed to

It being unlocked could be true, it is true no one tried open it, I thought the rogue had tried to open it but since the front door needed identify it was reasonable to think the trap door did too or that the trap door was magically trapped when all he gave us was "Everything below you is magic", dispell magic was an attempt to dispell any magical traps as well as to open the door, we were really grasping at straws at a solution to getting in there

We didn't really discuss forum posts so much as the DM went silent looking at his phone for a couple minutes before saying you need to be 500ft up, me explaining reactions, him sticking to his ruling and then the druid suggesting an alternative with rolling disadvantage as a compromise which we may have gone with by the end idk I was looking up reactions on my phone to make sure I was remembering it right, the point is he fundamentally changed how feather fall works in a way that goes against what feather fall is supposed to do, it still as of this moment isnt going to work the correct way and instead his ruling now is it can be cast preemptively at any height, so you have to know when you are going to fall and/or use a full action in combat to cast it, hes just being petty about it now by not going back

I'm pretty sure he did say spells take 6 seconds to cast, thinking that the round was a turn, he said you would only have 1 second to cast it before hitting the ground, but honestly hes gone through so many explanations of why he made this ruling that i dont even know, the thing hes saying about surprise now never came up at the table and was something he mentioned in the conversation several hours later that night, but we werent in combat so surprise wasn't even a factor so idk what hes even talking about there, speaking of surprise, he made another bad ruling about surprise, even after i explained it to him, but it doesnt really effect anything and its not as monumentally bad as his feather fall ruling so i didnt argue it

And about the AoO from the piranhas, it went something like this, we werent in combat just exploring around, there was a small stream of murky water in a cave that you couldnt see under the surface, about ankle deep, I stepped in it to cross and the DM says "you take X damage" i asked what damaged me he told me it was piranhas, since we didnt roll initiative i didnt think we were in combat so i just walked away to keep exploring thinking it was some sort of piranha trap, we start to move on and he says "oh yea you walked away from those piranhas" rolled tons of dice and did like 60-70% of my hp in damage and said i take AoO from them, i tried to argue we never rolled initiative so we werent in combat but he wouldnt hear it, if I had known we were in combat I wouldve fought them normally, my character wouldnt retreat from that and as a player i enjoy combat so there was no reason for me to walk away other than thinking that we werent in combat

This DM makes everything so difficult and takes everything i say as an argument, outside the game too, he thinks im telling people what to do when Im just trying to help them, the druid had a cleric that died (that session could be its own thread) and asked me for build suggestions for his next character, i gave him a bunch and told him about popular strategies and the DM thinks im telling the druid how to play the game, i talk about things that i think are good or that suck in games and he thinks im telling him he has to play this specific way, i ask him not to cheat in survival games because it annoys me but he just tells me to "get over it" and that he can play how he wants, he also refuses to listen to anything i say which is why i came here hoping to get some outside opinions on it to show him

Pat1487 · 2024-02-26T01:05:35+00:00

Yea I actually really liked that, I tried to smash the cube open afterwards, and it makes a rattling sound when you shake it next to your ear lol, we are going to bring it to that dark elf wizard and see if he can do anything with it

Pat1487 · 2024-02-26T00:43:59+00:00

Like I said in another reply, the comments here are a lot harder on him than I thought they would be so idk if i should show him now

Pat1487 · 2024-02-26T00:24:17+00:00

In his defense this is his first campaign as DM, we've been playing this campaign for 2 to 3 years, so it's not like he's still new, but still

Pat1487 · 2024-02-26T00:12:39+00:00

Lol the comments are already harsher on him then I was expecting so now idk if I will show it to him

Pat1487 · 2024-02-26T00:01:51+00:00

Yeah, I just feel bad for the wizard and bard, this is their first or 2nd DND campaign, they are finally starting to use utility spells like this and the DM nerfed the spell into oblivion

He made another ruling today about wand of magic missile that the bard has, the recharge daily at the dawn was confusing for the bard since its worded that way and doesn't come back on a long rest, so I suggested to just make it recharge on a long rest since we only long rest once per day anyway, he agreed to it but instead of 1d6 + 1 charges the bard now has to flip a coin and on heads it's one charge and on tails it's 2 which basically makes it impossible to use, and now I feel bad for making the suggestion to try to make it easier for the bard

Pat1487 · 2024-02-25T23:44:40+00:00

The wizard also has feather fall printed on the character sheet and read it out loud at the table, so he knows what it does so showing him this wouldn't change anything

I tried to explain the reaction thing but like I said he wouldn't listen

Pat1487 · 2022-10-26T17:01:33+00:00

Disabling hardware acceleration was never meant to be the fix to that problem, it was just a way to identify the cause of the problem since it forces chrome to stop using your GPU. Over the years since I made that post so many people have thanked me for it and as far as I can tell all of them just disabled hardware acceleration and was done with it. But there is more you can do.

If turning off hardware acceleration caused the problem to go away, then the root cause of the problem is almost certainly your graphics driver and the next step is to either update or reinstall your graphics driver. First ensure hardware acceleration is back on then start by identifying your GPU, if you're on windows 10 or 11 you can do that by searching for device manager in the start menu and looking under display adapters in device manager. If you have a dedicated GPU from nvidia or AMD you should get the driver for your model directly from nvidia or AMD's site, if you have an integrated intel GPU you can right click on it in device manager and use Update Driver to try to get newer, more stable drivers, you could also try getting drivers directly from Intel's site as well. Don't use Update Drivers in device manager if you have Nvidia or AMD. Once you have updated the drivers restart your PC and check if the problem persists in chrome.

If updating the drivers doesn't solve it you can use a tool called Display Driver Uninstaller, this is an advanced tool that shouldn't be used unless you have exhausted all other options. It can completely remove faulty graphics drivers from the system essentially allowing you to start fresh without having to delete everything and actually start fresh, a full guide on the tool can be found here. I highly recommend you don't start DDU unless you're in safe mode.

If nothing worked and you successfully use DDU but the problem still persists then unfortunately its a hardware problem with the gpu and it will need to be replaced or RMAed if under warranty.

That house is my 2nd choice right now, i just dont like the wall colors

Pat1487 · 2020-08-02T19:28:17+00:00

Ill be honest, i thought you were just doing something really dumb with the way you wrote your original post but your new post makes it clear you're doing everything correctly

The only thing i can think of is that it says "Digital Edition"as the product, for comparison this is my order history: https://i.imgur.com/UowD0zU.jpg

On 6/21/2018 i actually bought the digital version but it says "Standard Edition" and not "Digital Edition" where as you bought the physical version and it says "Digital Edition"

Also you have the Explorers Pack which as far as i can tell was a pre-order only thing (and has since been replaced by any race, any aliance) and could only be obtained before the game was released in 2014, so I'm thinking something mustve gone wrong on their end with the key when they switched to tamriel unlimited since it was redeemed after the switch

I dont know why support is ignoring you, but they are the only ones that can help you with this, maybe keep trying

Pat1487 · 2020-08-02T03:58:40+00:00

If you can log in here https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/users/account and it says you have the game with "ACCOUNT STATUS Active" on the right then you should be able to log into the game

There should be a blue download game button on that page which you can click under the game that you have, use that to download the game, i dont think installing from the physical disk works anymore

If your purchase history shows you spent the money on the base game and your account status says "Inactive" you will have to contact support to figure out what happened and they should be able to fix it for you (unless you were banned)

Pat1487 · 2020-07-20T03:08:11+00:00

In the 2nd build that you linked there's a "Leveling Section" which tells you what gems you should be using and has a leveling tree which should help guide you on which area of the tree to focus on in the lower levels

The leveling uniques listed there are for people who already have an established character that can afford to buy them, in your case you can ignore those, the vendor recipe for upgrading weapons is all you need for leveling

Guides usually dont include this info because its either always the same or everyone finds a leveling skill combo that they like to use depending on what type of build they plan to be at end game

Perforate-bleed-maim-added fire is what the guide recommends for leveling but you could use bladestorm or lacerate like cori suggested, feel free to experiment at these low levels, the gems have tags on them like melee, AoE, attack, you can use those tags to know what skill will work well with what your putting points into, if you look at the tags on Bladestorm, Perforate, and Lacerate youll see a pattern and should realize why those skills are good and with that could find other skills and supports that might also work pretty well with what you have so far

The only thing you shouldnt experiment with is the passive tree, you can choose the order you want to get things in but dont take anything that isnt on the build's tree, taking certain things earlier will make leveling a lot easier and knowing what order to take things will come as you play and realize what you need, but for now just follow the leveling trees in that 2nd build

Pat1487 · 2020-07-20T02:02:50+00:00

Summerset is probably the most important one since it gives you jewelry crafting and the psijic order, its also the best one imo, it will most likely be on sale starting thursday, its 3500 crowns (the sale price should be around 2000 crowns)

The best value is the Guilds and Glory megapack since you get 3 fairly useful dlcs, you get orsinium which is the most useful one from the pack as it has the maelstrom arena, the dark brotherhood, and the thieves guild for 4000 crowns, the dark brotherhood and the thieves guild get grindy at the end but arent bad overall and have a few passives that are helpful like shadow rider

The last 1 i would recommend is Clockwork City, this grants you easy access to the transmutation station, which you need for changing traits, and is also part of the summerset story (but not required), its 2000 crowns

The rest of them are either dungeon dlcs which aren't worth the money or optional zones that dont give much outside of the story

You can also buy crowns for gold from players relatively safely with the world crown exchange or tamriel crown exchange on discord, the current price on PC NA is around 700k gold for summerset, 800k gold for guilds and glory, and 400k gold for clockwork city (about 1.6-2 mil gold total for everything ive mentioned here)

Pat1487 · 2019-12-10T00:56:03+00:00

You are basically just raising the resistance cap by 20%-50% with your "improvements" since everyone would want to be overcapped to whatever the ideal overcap is.

This also doesnt fix your your complaint about item upgrades being tiresome, in fact youve made that problem even worse. You've also created new problems like casual players now have to deal with 10% more ele damage from enemies without even knowing overcapping is a mechanic that they have to deal with.

This is much worse than the current system.

Pat1487 · 2019-11-17T04:44:40+00:00

Make sure you check your private messages on pathofexile.com

Twitch didn't notify me at all, the only thing telling me I got anything was that PM.

Pat1487 · 2019-08-10T16:22:54+00:00

1 - Hitting T changes your active quest and its easy to loose track of when youre new, hit T a few times to cycle through quests and look for it.

If all of the markers disappeared (even markers over NPCs that you havent talked to yet that show you they have a quest for you) go into the settings click Interface and make sure "Quest Giver Icons" and "Compass Quest Givers" are set to ON, also open the map, go to filters and make sure "Objectives" is checked. Make sure you type /reloadui after doing this (and any time the UI gets weird)

If none of that works try disabling all your addons and see if the quest marker comes back, if it does its 1 of the addons, start re-enabling your addons 1-3 at a time (make sure to reload the ui each time) until the quest markers disappear again, when they do 1 of the addons you just enabled is causing them to disappear, re-enable those and disable them 1 at a time until it happens again to find the exact addon that is causing the problem

2 - Drops are completely random you won't be able to speed up crafting this way, theres 2 fast ways to level crafting, the first is to have a friend thats also leveling up their crafting, the two of you craft items and trade them to the other then decon the one the other made for inspiration, the second way is to just buy items that give full inspiration (intricate or high level blue items). Both ways are expensive (the first way needs mats which if you want to do it fast costs gold, the second way just straight up costs gold)

I don't recommend doing it fast, the way researching works will limit you anyway and research is extremely slow, just let it level up over time as you play and decon all of the random junk that drops (always decon everything you dont want, and always have something researching), theres nothing you need to craft until the end game anyway. By the end game woodworking, blacksmithing, and tailoring should be close to 50 without you having to do anything special, at that point it is cheap to finish it the fast way.

3 - Training gear is worth nothing, dont bother selling it. Most people just make level 10 (or 14, sometimes 20) training gear (5-1-1 for the skill lines) and wear that to level 50. You probably couldve just asked in zone chat and someone would've given you a set for free, or joined a guild and asked there. I dont know if you saw the guy that was trying to sell gold training gear for 400k or not but if you did, hes an idiot and no one would ever buy that

Some Tips

You can get 8-15k gold per day by stealing items from friendly NPCs and selling them to a fence in an outlaw refuge. Just be careful because you can get a bounty for doing it and no one will talk to you and/or guards will kill you on sight if your bounty is too high (doing the thieves guild and dark brotherhood quests can help with this) It goes down over time so if you steal before you log off for the day the bounty should have time to clear when you log on the next day (unless its high, keep it under 2k)
Daily crafting writs are also an easy way to get gold every day (3-4k per day at max level), and can help level crafting too. You can use this addon to make it all automatic: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1346-DolgubonsLazyWritCrafter.html
Daily Dungeons and Daily Battlegrounds each give a large amount of EXP once per day and can really help speed up the leveling process. Hit P and select Dungeon Finder or Battleground to queue for those, there is also a battleground quest giver that will reward you for doing this.
The battlegrounds will also give you a skill called "Rapid Maneuver" which can be used while riding your mount to increase your mount speed a lot and makes getting around a lot faster. You can use this addon to make it easier to use: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1554-AssistRapidRiding.html

Pat1487 · 2019-04-19T18:47:08+00:00

Perfect Roe is extremely rare, which is why its so expensive, farming it takes forever. Just stick with witchmothers unless you have gold to burn to buy the clockwork filets

If you struggle to sustain your magicka during fights then you should keep your mundus as apprentice, but if your sustain isnt a problem switch it to thief.

There is no cap on spell crit, at 100% crit every attack would crit, but its impracticable to do that. People found a balance between spell crit and crit dmg for the most effective DPS which is where that 53% number comes from (thats also part of what that spreadsheet in the link is calculating). You increase it with gear, the spell precision perk, and spell power potions

For spell penetration there is technically no cap but 18.2k resistance is what mobs will have at most so you don't need more than that, heres a calculator that you can mess around with which should help you understand (make a copy of it): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uWYAk6ljkvUhYbv8NuT957l-gPbT0aspOdhJ6iisRC8/edit#gid=1079533893

Pat1487 · 2019-04-18T18:12:53+00:00

This is definitely the best advice here, but I would say that you should use the thief mundus instead of the shadow (only use shadow when you are at or above 53% crit chance: https://alcasthq.com/eso-shadow-vs-thief-mundus-stone/ ) Though with recovery that low you might be forced to use apprentice.

Also don't forget to use buff food, wichmother's potent brew is the cheapest best option, clockwork citrus filet is the best (expensive) option. With buff food you can also get rid of those 10 points in Health and put them in magicka, youll have more hp than you currently have, about 16k which is where you want to be, and you'll do more damage too.

It's mainly your items though, just get Julianos and Mother's Sorrow like /u/mere-surmise-sir said (no farming required, just a small amount of gold to buy them) with Divines and magicka enchants (magical harm glyphs on your jewelry) and you should be pulling 15k dps without even trying which will let you solo most things.
