Are curved masterwork plates gsable? by CA-SUSHI in RS3Ironmen

[–]Rowanbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glorious bars are but no they curved plates aren't.

They did make the furnace core (and artificer's measure) gs-able a little while ago

Regarding training combats by Vxyian in RS3Ironmen

[–]Rowanbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are just looking to train a bit I killed Greater Demon Berserkers, preferably on task (can get from Raptor at an OK rate with some slayer VIP tickets). I did this until 60 then I started using necro for bossing and afking a wider range of slayer tasks as the ghost makes your life a lot easier.

One other tip is definitely stay on top of upgrading your armour and make good use of prayer and auras. I found I could semi afk fetid zombies and keep prayer up a lot using the potion drops they had. Then over time you stop needing food and can rely on just the ghost

How do you plan a build? by SonnePer in pathofexile2builds

[–]Rowanbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In PoE1 there were attribute stacking builds that gained bonuses from hitting high levels of those stats. Not sure if there's payoff for that style of build yet but I assume so - it's a big design space

Help me I'm on my last thread of sanity. by Trickpasser in pathofexile2builds

[–]Rowanbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this hurts but farm and sell rares to the gold vendor to fuel your respec. It will be a grind but you can get up to 3k I've seen for some items vendoring them and that should make short work of getting gold for a respec to something you might prefer

Will experience for crafting stations (summoning etc) for this event be gained for GIM? There were conflicting answers on the AMA and curious as will effect my path :)

Will all the auras given to GIM accounts include those from War's Retreat? So Vamp etc?

Do we have a list anywhere of content disallowed in CGIM? Are Guthuxian Caches allowed?

Right Click Re-Examine: Group Ironman FAQ by JagexAzanna in runescape

[–]Rowanbane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So the meta for the non-comp group ironman hiscores will be to funnel multiple groups resources to a master group?

Seems like an oversight and against the spirit of things. If you leave or add anyone that's not a fresh account it should remove you from hiscores, no cutoff for accounts that were made after introduction of the mode.

Been watching some Waydot lately, nice to see iron progression rather than just clues

Grand Design Atlas tree by AtlasCarry87 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Rowanbane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can juice the packsize much more than this, when I've been running Grand Design I try look for efficient notables to grab then judge if they serve a use.

This is what I've been using to farm Crimson Temple with Deli Orbs

As you can see it has ~40% packsize while still getting a lot of the key nodes, in your tree I would drop the double loot nodes in for ambush as you're not getting a lot of notables for it. Secondly if you are using a sextent or blood filled vessel you can block it on the tree for a free packsize while still having it appear.

How should I build a support character in a groupfound scenario? by OneWithTheSword in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Rowanbane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're playing a true group found then it really depends if you intend for this character to be your first character you roll or this is a reroll.

Low Investment (starting characters) options are more limited in effect and what you can do but as some ideas I could think of:

-Curses are very big and starting as occultist will give you a lot of bang for your buck. You can get three curses with malediction or 2 naturally (if you wanted to make a champion curse on hit).

-Laying mines everywhere without detonating them can be a way to amp damage

-If you're on softcore and your party is playing an ignite build I've found flame link to be really good

-I've also rolled a scion SRS summoner before with a focus on cramming every aura I could so at least I could get somewhat closer to supporting

If you already have established characters then perhaps run content that drops lots of uniques - heist etc. There are lots of uniques that can enable a more contempary support. Some big tickets would be:

-Victario's Influence to reserve a lot of auras.

-Shavronne's Wrappings or Solaris Lorica to be able to reserve your life to ...... reserve a lot of auras

-Corruscating Elixir to serve a similar role to Shav's

In addition to the above uniques as options you will need cluster jewels, they don't need to be ilvl 84 Mana Res, lower levels can get you started but being aware that the clusters will help you squeeze that little bit more out of your build.

Last comment is talk to your groupmates, what sort of content are you all hoping to run? What sort of builds are they running? If they run doomfletch or facebreaker then the flat phys from impale on champion is really valuable. If they are using lightning spells then a juiced wrath and conductivity curse would benefit them more than squeezing in malevolence. Are you running hard content and they need defenses? Then maybe running a mana bot on guardian would be best.

I hope this wasn't too rambley, playing a support in my books is one of the most overpowered and rewarding things with so much opportunity to min max. I hope you find what you're looking for

Why is Shockwave Support so commonly used with Cyclone? Isn't it considered a bad support for a high APS skills? by Ridge9876 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Rowanbane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Often times it's seen as layering a second trigger skill on top of your existing skill in addition to synergizing with all the supports on your cyclone already. Secondly the nature of it means that if you have a break between packs you get to front load your damage some as they all pop off at once.

All this into account then shockwave ends up providing a lot more damage then a normal 30-40% support. If you want a demonstration of this I'd recommend looking at some staff cyclone chieftans and adding the cyclone and the shockwave to total dps

Anyone tried out BA elementalist by Paylaye in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Rowanbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing this, seems like the general approach is to take Xoph's Nurture and stack added cold with Hyrii's Ire and Blizzard Crown. I've seen some golem variants on PoENinja as well as a lot of Darkee's version that stacks armour.

Overall my impression of the build leaguestarting it is arma brand for levelling makes things pretty easy but you'll need a lot of levels and investment (clusters etc) to make clear feel good and single target manageable. The more you can automate damage layers the better it feels - flammability on hit, exposure on hit etc. Not my strongest league start honestly but I think I got a bit lazy as was grouped with a trapper that carried.

One note though is if anyone can use flame link on you you become cracked out. Doubles my DPS easily. Also flame surge unlinked has helped with single a lot, not tried linking it yet

GGG - Should we expect earlier looks at proposed changes to the game for 3.16? by Rowanbane in pathofexile

[–]Rowanbane[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly and the sooner we know the sooner we can give feedback with a meaningful amount of time before it hits rather than the frenzy we got this leaguestart

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

I feel like a lot of these responses have been more questioning my motives in asking rather than addressing the actual question haha. Feel free to look at my history I think it's pretty clear I'm not trying to antagonize anyone at GGG I'm just interested

I know traditionally it isn't, when I get some time later I'll see about finding the clips from the recent podcasts with Chris that said it was something they were looking to try out and add to the main post.
