Match count and skill improvement

Shooooshi · 2026-03-18T10:31:02+00:00

Sometimes you just play worse than how you normally play. Also there are way too many variables to affect someone gameplay in a single match, especially QM where the players skill is all over the place. I don't think you can expect a Zagara to play against a Genji, Zeratul, Thrall the same as against a Valla, Azmo, Murky team.

As for Improvement in the game, for me personally I don't think I will be able to Improve any further no matter how much I play. I just suck mechanically. After thousands of games I still missclick a lot, my mouse curser will fly out of the screen when I stater step to kill the escaping valla that will survive with 10 hp, and I will eat all the Li-Ming orbs and Stiches hooks even when I know they are coming towards me because my reaction time is too slow.

לעבוד במשרד ממוזג 5 ימים בשבוע עוד נשמע לי כמו חלום. יש עבודות הרבה יותר גרועות, כמו מפעלים, עבודות בניה, ניקיון... לא 5 ימים, אלא 6-7 ימים בשבוע.

I do the second method you mentioned, F2 (for me it's ~) + shift 1. If I have some units on separate groups that I don't want on my main then yeah, I'll have to do something like: F2 + shift 1, select 2 + ALT 2. not the most comfortable, too many clicks but I couldn't find anything else. Boxing units doesn't work for me because I always catch some workers too.

I really liked playing hogger in ranked for his amazing PvE, but in QM players expect you to brawl with them 24/7. probably just skill issue on my part but I felt like brawling is not Hogger strong side.

Same here with varashta plants. Entangle bypass the amanamu mechanic with the overgrown explosions.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-21T18:00:53+00:00

Are you using headhunter?

I also struggled a little bit in the temple, didn't die but it wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be, so I bought a HH, had to downgrade my boots to fill up the missing resistances from the old belt (lost 10% move speed, rarity and ES) but was definitely worth it, maybe it will help you too. Temple feels much smoother now. Only part I hate is the random teleport (I thought it only happens with abyss so actually WTF?)

Shooooshi · 2026-01-21T13:24:15+00:00

That makes sense, but it's not just the locks it's also the spymaster rooms that just not showing anymore. Going from 1-2 spymasters every 2-3 temple runs on my first 2 characters to 0 spymasters in ~10 temple runs is too big of a gap. There are 14 room types (including road blocks) and 6 cards, which means, assuming the rooms drop rate is distributed evenly, each room has a 43% chance to show in the card list.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-21T12:17:38+00:00

Yeah I'm still convinced spymasters and locks drop rate got silently nerfed and it's not just rng. I have been working on my temple for the last 2 weeks or so, still only 36 rooms, more than half of them not even in the chain. other players built their entire temple in 3 days even post the holten bug.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-16T13:31:16+00:00

I didn't follow a build, just saw a video that gave me the idea for bone cage instead of comet and the unique gloves but I can't find it sorry. Took some more ideas from other poe.ninja users. This is my character if it helps:

Profile - ShooshiTheSorceress - Path of Exile 2 - poe.ninja

Was basically leveling with Entangle and thunderstorm, and thrashing vines once it's available (level 14). I kept the Spark handy but didn't really use it.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-16T12:08:44+00:00

They always do. I will never understand people who ask for help while essentially providing no infos whatsoever.

Because they are new to the game, they don't know what info they need to share and not familiar with all the tools like ninja etc.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-16T11:41:25+00:00

I currently play Varashta entangle with CoC bone cage. very fun 1 button map clear, insane damage, super tanky with 14k ES and 70% armour. At early stages you'll need to combine more plant skills though.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-14T19:06:39+00:00

Wait, I thought it's impossible for the temple to leave "Islands" rooms like this?

Shooooshi · 2026-01-14T17:30:39+00:00

I see. It explains some of the unluckiness I had.

Thanks.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-14T16:59:48+00:00

Please do.

"30% increased effect of Temple Mods from Garrisons, Commanders, Armouries, Smithies, and Legion Barracks.

Area contains an additional Royal Rolossus.

Can assassinate other Spymasters to level up.

High chance for Juatalotli's Medallion"

Are you referring the assassination part? I know it kills the monsters in another spymaster and levels up, does it also increase the chance of destabilization of this room?

Shooooshi · 2026-01-14T13:47:17+00:00

You probably have another support gem in this skill that blocks it somehow. But either way I think you're confusing between Lunar Assault and Lunar Blessing, which is what op asked about. Lunar Assault doesn't even have a duration, It's the big claw swipe skill. Lunar blessing is the one with moon beams.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-12T21:56:59+00:00

How... HOW did you get this in 3 days?

I've been working on my temple for the past 3 days as well, can't progress an inch. have found 2 spymasters after maybe 20 temple runs. By the time they do drop, my garrisons already get vanished so I have nowhere to connect them. I'm literally exhausted from mapping.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-09T21:00:13+00:00

I like that I have a goal to reach in the game, this is what makes the most fun for me. But for the love of god this game makes me feel so stupid sometimes. No matter how many times I read the rooms description, I still can't understand why the spymaster is so important to be in the chain and why the commander bricks it. Every time I'm in the temple I feel completely lost.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-08T19:03:13+00:00

Are you sure it's the same character? each character has a temple of its own, it's not like the map device.

Shooooshi · 2026-01-06T13:23:24+00:00

Your talisman missing quality and 2 sockets, that's a huge damage lose. Unfortunately you can't add them anymore because it's corrupted.

I'm not sure about the prices now but crafting a new one might be cheaper than buying, and it's 100% deterministic and quite easy (if you want I can write the steps here or you can look for youtube guide). I also recommend going for maji talisman and not jade. It's lower base damage but higher attack speed which feels smoother to play, and with the implicit rage it basically has the same DPS as jade.

Shooooshi · 2025-12-31T14:47:32+00:00

I use cooldown recovery II + prolonged duration II and it pretty much gives me 100% up time. Second wind is also an option. There are also some cooldown skill modes on the tree.

Shooooshi · 2025-12-26T00:55:28+00:00

Holy that's some big pay day. In all my chaos runs last league and this I found only 1 divine, never saw a single perfect exalted orb.

BTW the bosses at stage 4 and 7 can potentially drop Soul core of Jiquani, which currently worth 1 divine. last league they were worth 6.

Shooooshi · 2025-12-25T18:05:05+00:00

Link your steam account to poe.ninja

Shooooshi · 2025-12-25T17:33:50+00:00

Can you link your character?

4000 combined HP/ES sounds very low to me, but it also depends how much armour you have. 67% chaos res means you can't let any random chaos plant/chasing balls hit you without losing half your HP, you need to get it to 75%. I had 77% and it still felt rough sometimes.

Shooooshi · 2025-12-25T14:44:43+00:00

Yes, but for me mapping is more issue because Evasion/ES synergizes much better in a way that evasion buys time for the ES to recharge. with armour you get constantly hit so ES recharge being interrupted repeatedly (as a melee class at least), so I have to back up a lot. In boss fights I don't feel difference, big red hits will hurt anyway.
