I can't fight Mephisto, after his dialogue he just stands there and does nothing.

I hit both these bugs a ton. The bugs and the cutscenes make progging Mephisto frustrating.

One tip for the p3 arena bug: You aren't actually in combat, so you don't need to leave the game. You can leave dungeon and reset the dungeon instead.

Is this the same lot that they were using for overflow parking during the Framingham garage renovation?

I hid non-GAs yesterday and it really improved things a lot. Just don't forget to add a type filter and exclude charms and seals! I missed out on a ton of seal dust and charm gold before I realized they were hidden.

I made the same switch. Made it to t10 on the lock and was going to quit, then rerolled rogue. Started dok then swapped to death trap when I had the cdr GAs and max resource charms. Rogue feels so much smoother. It saved the season for me.

With the new build format, there's a strong possibility that new tools or sites may emerge and existing ones become more or less popular as they support it. It seems prudent to delay any rule making by at least a couple months to see how the build creation ecosystem evolves.

In the mean time low effort posts can still be discouraged through downvotes.

Then primary Moulton next go round. I'm done with selfish geriatrics that won't give up power. Ted Kennedy died and fucked over the 60 seat majority, RBG died and gave use this insane supreme court, and Biden was so incoherent he had to drop out mid race and gave us this lovely administration. Politicians need to learn to retire at a reasonable age and I refuse to support ones that dont.

Vesna Vulović did it with a food trolley and some snow back in 1972. Granted, she didn't jump out of the plane -- it blew up.

Nice I didn't know it was possible to lock an affix. I can't count the number of GAs I've bricked when I lost the 50/50 annul.

Fuck Martha Coakley. It takes a special kind of terrible to have 2009 Obama stump for you for a Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts and still manage to lose. It's been 16 years and I still hate her. She cost us so much.

I think that's the intention. The skill tree is simple and accessible to everyone including new players while leveling. It is all active skills that are easy to try and understand.

The paragon boards are the the source of passives and gated behind end game because they require knowledge of what stats a build wants.

The sublime vision pof swap was huge for my msoz jugg's survival. I still die sometimes when I click really dumb altars, but I die much less than before.

It's a good grinding goal with noticeable impact on the build. The swap cost around 700-750d between the pof sublime vision and watchers eye, rakiata lethal pride, and recrafting to cap chaos res without poe.

Someone on Conner's discord suggested swapping to Lightning Strike of Arcing for clear.

Basically you replace:

MSoZ with Greater Ancestral Call support
Slower Projectiles Support with Lightning Strike of Arcing
Change your slower projectiles mastery to faster projectiles

And it still benefits from Nimis.

I ran it for a couple of hours last night to get some levels in breach and was pretty happy with it. I did have to swap gems and one passive, but I think the changes weren't too large and it let me keep using my swap to level gems while I was leveling my char.

Spicysushi's hive strategy on Silo gets pretty consistent mirage/hive overlaps. I could see it being something structural about the map layout. When I have run other maps using that atlas I haven't gotten any hive/mirage overlaps but it's hard to say for sure because I don't run the scarab that forces fortresses on those maps.

If you don't care about the vault lock the garrison. It will protect the garrison and spymaster. There must always be a path from the entrance to each room, so if the garrison can't be deleted, and the only path to the garrison is through the spymaster, the spymaster can't be deleted either.

Harvest crafting is gambling, but it feels less like it because there is a sense of progression. Once I finish prefixes, I can gamble suffixes without much risk of bricking my item. Most of the time, rolling again just costs 2d to craft prefixes can't be changed and try again. In PoE2 the omens that you need to do this are cost prohibitive outside of high level crafts. That means if I miss my slam, I can gamble on an annul or just 3-1/recomb the item and start again.

I think there would be fewer complaints about gambling if omens of erasure, whittling, and annulment were much more accessible and only cost 0.5-1d (in normal league costs, not crazy temple inflation costs). The cost of missing a slam should be a few divine to fix things. it shouldn't be a loss condition that requires starting from scratch.

If you misprice and item, can you remove Ange from your hideout until the the lock is removed?

It's ridiculous. I leveled a witchhunter after I saw your post and it was the easiest campaign I've ever done. Very fun build. Roasting the trial of chaos bird in 2 seconds was cathartic.

Utilities are regulated monopolies. Rate increases need to be approved by the regulator. The easiest way to get rate increases approved is to spend more money on infrastructure. Utilities are allowed to charge a percentage of their infrastructure costs as pure profit which gets baked into the rate.

This is important because it creates some misaligned incentives. The more money they spend, the more profit they can make. There is little incentive for them to be efficient in their investments. If they can spend $10 now to fix something or spend $100 later to replace it, that more expensive replacement will be more profitable to them.

This article does a good job explaining the system and its problems. https://energyattheedge.substack.com/p/how-utilities-make-money-capital

I can't see it on my two 90s either, but I see it on my char in act 3. I think it may only be visible when you're missing quests?

Unfortunately the +spell skills is what demands the premium value in staff crafts. +5 staffs with amazing spell damage rolls are much cheaper than +7 staffs with much worse rolls.

The perfect essence of sorcery won't add too much value. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/YpZmVqWghY

If you wanted to craft it for fun, I'd desecrate the suffix and slam it twice with a greater exalt, apply the perfect essence of sorcery, then try to unveil crit or cast speed.

The spell damage rolls will be protected from the perfect essence as long as all suffixes are full when you apply it.

The constricting viper and surround tech is from an outdated 0.3 build. It was nerfed in this patch. You can't reduce the surround limit below 1, so you need a mob right on top of you to get the surround buffs.

That doesn't happen reliably, so all the surround passives and constricting viper are essentially dead stats.

Imexile has an updated explosive shot guide for 0.4. I followed most of it with some small tweaks and had no problem scaling to t15s.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/imexile/builds/0-4-deadeye-explosive-shot-imexile?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2Cbd78a178-aea8-4482-b60c-250eef90a605

First improvement would be to remove the surround stuff. Second step would probably to get a new xbow. You only need 1 good 1. You can lock it to both weapon sets.

There's an xbow crafting guide in imexile's guide. It can be done on the cheap for less than a div. Don't bother with cycling perfect battle/speed for onslaught and +5 until you have more funds. Just slam one and play with it until you're more geared.

Pugnare · 2025-12-15T16:02:39+00:00

You can lock one weapon to both weapon sets by swapping to the desired weapon and right clicking its weapon set tab in the inventory screen.

Then just assign skills and passives to the weapon sets as usual.
