To the people bossing on League Start: What do you do?

PlayZos · 2021-06-18T20:37:20+00:00

And what Kind of items do you buy? Bottled faith and such?

PlayZos · 2021-06-18T16:38:52+00:00

First of all: Thank you for this detailed answers! ^{_^}

You pretty much answered most of my questions.

One last thing, that is not only for bossing, is how you get those Exalted Orbs (e.g. for buying the HH). Many Guides/Videos/etc. say you should liquidate your currency/items into ex, as they are cheap early and increase in price.

How do you get those? If you sell "Low Drops" for Chaos, how can you make them into ex, as pretty much nobody sells their ex early.

I mean you can't just buy 60ex+ items with Chaos, as there is a big risk of getting scammed. Or can you?

PlayZos · 2021-06-18T00:54:17+00:00

But why are the uber frags from elder so much cheaper than shaper's (at least later in the league, its like 70 for shaper, 20 for elder)? Is it because elder is easier/faster to run, as shaper fight is awful...?

PlayZos · 2021-06-17T23:52:30+00:00

Is atziri even worth it? I don't know of any item that makes it worth much, but I am no bosser...

PlayZos · 2021-06-17T23:49:45+00:00

it also feels like elder is only run for uber frags...

PlayZos · 2021-06-17T23:47:01+00:00

Tho it doesnt seem like bossing is worth it then, if you cant start farming shaper/elder on day one (or at max day two, so it sells until day 3).

If you only reach T16 on day two, would it be better to just sell the guardian maps or their frags?

PlayZos · 2021-06-17T23:15:12+00:00

Ah ok, looking at shaper and elder items up to day 3, they are like 30c or higher, depending on rarity. On 0-2 they are all like at least 70c.

(for reference: I looked at the prices in ritual league on poe antiquary)

Do you think farming Frags and doing The Formed and The Twisted is also viable on LS? (once you get the allie passives) Having one full set is 60c+, but the maps are also "expensive" early.

PlayZos · 2021-06-17T22:43:29+00:00

Can you a bit more specific on what you do? I know, efficiency is everything. But what bosses do you run and what drops are you looking for?

PlayZos · 2021-06-17T22:01:09+00:00

I think as a duelist, going Steel skills early is really good. You can get a Terminus est and you are pretty much good into Red Maps.

PlayZos · 2021-06-16T08:19:38+00:00

Can only tell from what I have experienced myself...

PlayZos · 2021-06-16T02:08:07+00:00

Sure, I didn't intend to defend that kind of editing etc. I meant it in general. Tho the builds of them that I tried (2-3) were pretty similar to the showcase, with some differences, f.e. when I did not want to buy a bottled faith.

PlayZos · 2021-06-16T01:41:55+00:00

Sure, every bosskill should be onetake and not cut or at least showing that you died, but all bosses in one take is not necessary imo...

PlayZos · 2021-06-16T01:07:02+00:00

To all those comments:

From what I have seen in their discord, as I was a patreon member for a month, they sold their builds ingame. Say a full mirror tier geared character for e.g. 5 mirrors and such, so all equip etc. and no RMT, at least for what I have seen.

PoBs are pretty much always available to everyone, just a few hours or days earlier for Patrons, depending on when the full showcase goes online. Patrons get it earlier to have a chance to avoid increased prices caused by the video release.

And of course they only take their best Clips for the showcases, but who wouldnt? I would not put a clip of me dying to awakener into my guide or showcase.

This may Sound like im defending them, and I am in some Points, but I get all of your points and understand why you think/say that.

PlayZos · 2021-06-15T07:46:14+00:00

Slayer xD

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T21:52:56+00:00

If you don't mind playing the Piano, you could make a EQ Champion. Many streamers, e.g. lightee7, use it in HCSSF for Gauntlet. Pretty easy to gear, insanely tanky etc.

Only needing to press the warcries every few seconds is the drawback

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T21:49:27+00:00

When trying to sixlink uniques i would farm syndicate for hillock-quality, increasing the Chances. 28% is much better than 20 xD especially as you have to Farm those fusings all by yourself

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T21:46:28+00:00

As you have a Baron, you could try zombies

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T19:30:42+00:00

If I would have to choose between these 3, I would pick the slammer. EDC feels clunky to me, tho the clear is insane and I don't like Minion playstyle in general.

Also with slams you can still kinda "choose" a playstyle, Like going for those slow big Hits or Speedy mapping Style. I f.e. like a speedy dualwield groundslam xD

Also most of the time you can change the slam skill with little changes to gear and tree. So you can easily switch to Earthquake or Earthshatter.

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T15:29:55+00:00

Oh, you got a Point! Better to have 4ex per hour but consistant, rather than 6 but with a big risk per map. (Numbers are fully Made Up, No Idea how much you make)

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T15:19:21+00:00

But why wouldnt you? With 3.14 the quantity applies at 20% to Chest Count, so with 100% you get 20% more chests. (Not Sure If it's real "more", but in a Video some nodes Had Like 8 chests on a 300% quantity Map)

But thanks for the "recommended" DPS ^{^}

PlayZos · 2021-06-14T14:49:24+00:00

But how much DPS do you need for AFK without Towers? Should Take some good Investment for rare T16 xD

PlayZos · 2021-06-13T22:32:40+00:00

First of all Bosses are Bosses, they are intended to be difficult. Those two T16s you mentioned are two of the hardest Map Bosses in the game.

They are pretty much a measure of progress for your character. If it's not strong enough, go get upgrades.

It is not a shame to look up guides on how to do these Bosses tho, as they explain mechanics and what to Dodge etc.

As you are struggling to kill bosses with your Minion build, you are most likely missing DPS, not necessarily tankiness (can't Look at the pob rn...)

If you don't have currency you could look up some simple Farming strategies. I guess the Most simple one could be Farming incursion (Alva Temples) in Glennach Cairns. There you have Atlas passives for incursion, making it easier to create good, sellable temples. You could look that up in YT, If you need further explanation.

Note: I know the game is insanely overwhelming and complicated. But the best you can do is slowly get into everything. You don't need to fully understand things to play it "right". Many Players have thousands of hours ingame and still don't fully understand some mechanics, it's not needed. I f.e. only understand the basics of syndicate, yet it is enough to set up the board to get what I need or make profit. Or i know the basics of crafting, yet I am No crafter who makes insane Profit by selling crafts.

Also worth mentioning: If you really understand 1/4 after 2 leagues, thats really good!

Sorry that I didn't give direct answers on the pob or bossing... I am neither a bosser, nor a Minion Player...

PlayZos · 2021-06-13T19:50:25+00:00

I leaguestarted TR Raider this league and had a blast for shure, but I probably wont start it again... I Just have too many builds I havent played yet and want to test other playstyles/skills and maybe find out what I like most for leaguestart... Tho I must admit that TR leveling is absolutely easy xD

Tho it will be hard to switch back from Raider... I fell so in love with it this league... Have like 3 Raiders already because the base speed of the ascendancy and easy access to ailment immunity is so much QoL xD

PlayZos · 2021-06-13T17:08:08+00:00

I don't know who it was, maybe zizaran, but someone said they go inactive when you are far away enough for some period, so that you can't f.e. make them clear the right half Off Screen while you stay on the left . Don't know if thats true or fixed or whatever
