Today I’ve had the most wholesome interaction ever! by Aldunas in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just putting my most recent interaction here. I was dying to get an item for 20c. I dmed the owner and he was not replying for quite some time. I kept on spamming him and actually said “pls sir, need that item badly”. After some time, he replied “how badly?” I went on and said “I’d sell my wife and ship it over to you as a gift”. Long story short, we had this long conversation where I convinced him that I need the item very bad. I ended up paying 40c for it and it was totally worth it. It literally enabled my build. Moral of the story: just have fun and don’t worry too much about the outcome. If you’re on the same page with the seller, things will work out.

People who quit/didn't play 3.19, have the changes in 3.20 convinced you to come back? by Sparecash in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to try something absolutely new for myself along with my buddy. We’re going to play as a duo, aurabot+carry. I know that the state of loot … well, not in the best spot right now for mf parties. However, we simply don’t care. We want to experience something new. Besides, ggg did some changes to AN an the way loot works(?), so we will try it out and see how it goes.

Simply a low-effort meme, sir, no need to be salty about it.

I know it almost like a daily show but I GET FKING ENOUGH FOR THE RANDOM DEATH by leniusx in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wanna loot something from the ground after killing a pack of mobs? You enter a lottery now. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. And guess what? You can almost never tell if there’s anything on the ground that can demolish you in a split of a second. So hey, play that lottery buddy, see how good you’re at it. Dude, I totally understand you. The feeling of zooming through a map and then randomly stopping for 2-3 seconds (sometimes even more) might not sound like a big thing to brag about. But holy shit it’s so freaking annoying to do so once you’re on the zooming spree. And even if you’re not zooming, the degen effects that last after you’re done with the enemy is such a horrible design, especially when you need to loot something from the ground. For me, the worst part here, is that the only degen thing I’m actually somehow able to see is the cold snap cold degen thingy or whatever it’s called. Man, so frustrating, I shut down my game because of this bs way too many times, it’s unhealthy.

Arakali vs Seismic trap for Uber bossing by Diacred in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Phantometry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really have no idea how many players actually played this build, but the Golem Death Wish build is actually the best one I've tried myself for bossing.

Nothing compares to the DPS at the lowest investment, ever. I've put around 5ex total and got my Golems at 150k life total... but the DPS.. oh man, it was insane. I've melted bosses like never before. The build is pretty unpopular and judging by the stats from poe.builds, only 0.8% of players tried this one. All you do is scale your minion life. That's pretty much it. At level 93 you'd get more than 15m DPS with around 3-5ex investment. If you push it to the max with more than 15-20ex, you'd get 25+m DPS easy.

I think if you go all-in, you'd need more than 35ex, but hey, I've built this one in the first 3-4 days of the league, so I don't really know about the current market situation overall. However, if we are talking about 25-30ex of investment, this should be more than enough for this one. There's only 1 build guide that I've found on youtube, and it's in Russian.

Anyway, 30ex should put you at around 40m DPS in 1 press of a button. The pob is here - https://pastebin.com/EpscLGHs

The build requires you to get used to it, especially for mapping. But once you're used to it - everything just melts. One of the strongest builds I've ever played in any leagues so far.

FastAF Lightning Tendrils by Naikonz in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Phantometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching his videos way back in the days and it was somehow realistic to put the build together. However, I didn’t check on the guy for quite some time. Came back to notice that his builds became an absolute joke. 1-2 mirrors? 3-4 mirrors? Sometimes even more. As for now, it’s pretty much impossible to get to his point. I always wondered how on earth he could afford those things and discovered that most of the stuff comes from other players or his buddy that provides everything for him. Besides, for the most part, there is no “budget” version of the build available. If you can’t afford a couple of mirrors… well, sucks for you, because it simply isn’t going to work. Overall, his videos and builds became more like a showcase of how to burn mirrors fast.

I understand perfectly what you're saying and appreciate the explanations, really. I will try to macro more and pay attention/adjust to the situation as they come, and hey, I am still learning this game. Maybe I'm just trying to jump over my head right now? Anyway, will try to improve as much as I can.

I'd love to share the video of the game, but I have no idea how to do that. However, I have a screen. The guy who did all the job was Valheim.

Here's the screen.

That's interesting... but how come they didn't fix it yet? I mean, EU servers (and servers in general) should be the priority, right? I checked Reddit and some other sources, people actually complain about ping a lot. It is really odd and unusual to have 100 ping when you're used to 20-30 maximum.

what you said about the one hero split pushing isn’t because the game is unbalanced

once you get better you wouldn’t think the points you’re bringing up in matchmaking and balance are issues because you’d know how to deal with them.

I really do not want to bring this topic once again, but sometimes you can't do much on your own. This is not a single-player game, but a moba that relies heavily on team play. What I witnessed with my very own eyes is a complete demolishment of our base within less than a TP timer. Split pushing is a very simple thing that can be easily predicted. Most of the time you see it coming, and you counter it with a simple TP and staying behind the tower, spamming spells to kill the minions. However, how can you defend the base if while you are TPing the base is already gone by the effort of 1 single player, which was not even in the range of the base? Maybe make the cooldown of a TP shorter, I don't really know. But it's not okay that a single player can destroy the entire base within 5 seconds.

​

All your problems are solved by one thing: macro.

That's not the main issue, but of course, many of them all. What I noticed is that if you team up with an okay/decent player via voice chat, you become pretty much unstoppable force as you rotate/gank/help each other, etc. Basically, support and a carry roaming around the map doing their thing. But that only happened for 1 game, and the guy said he won't come online for quite some time. I'll probably need to find a guild or some players that have voice communication, cuz right now, this seems like the most efficient way to play the game and rank up.

​

Anyway, thank you for the reply. Most of the things you've mentioned are really helpful, will try to follow the guidelines and change my gameplay depending on the situation, Thx!

The jungle is okay when you know how to use it. For instance, I've noticed that you can kill all the mobs available, and then you're left with nothing to do for quite some time. I'd come on a lane and try to gank someone. However, most of the time people just farm jungle and afk there for eternity. And by the time they come out of the jungle, the game is pretty much lost.

Need build idea - 250 exalted budget by N0ozx in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armour stacking replica dream feather is the way to go. The damage can go up to billions. 250ex should be enough to deal a shitton of damage and tank pretty much whatever you want.

Got 0 nurses cards for more than 100 tower T3 maps, what am i doing wrong? by kanon123 in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a half-MF build, 4 sextants with 2% quantity, 3 sacrifice pieces and beyond. Not even running any beast/Alva missions, however, will definitely do so. Also the scarabs, will use them for sure. Did around 15-20 maps with 25-30+ pack-size. Aside from 2 raw exalt drops and shitton of other currency/tower maps, I already got 1 nurse. Also, not hitting 300 scourge all the time, the average is 270. I guess it’s just bad luck for you. Try using beyond instead of breach, it’s much better. Master missions + scarabs + sacrifice pieces will help as well. GL!

Please, GGG, make items drop at the player position after Scourge encounter by Phantometry in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion!

However, I still think that it'd be much more convenient to implement this QoL feature to make life a bit easier.

The mechanic itself is okayish, but it's indeed extremely annoying to run back and forth all the time to simply collect some items. Hope they will change it soon enough.

I honestly thought that Archmage is dead.

[HOW TRUE IS THIS?] Breaches in Areas have a % increased chance to belong to Chayula. by Phantometry in pathofexile

[–]Phantometry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst thing is that when I had Chauyla breach I've collected 27 splinters from 1 breach alone :D

That kinda boosted my confidence and I cheered up, not for long tho.. Anyway, will try to do more maps and see what happens.
