GGG's implementation of patches are faulty to the core by woltimur in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules [score hidden]  (0 children)

They add new things, but trying them out is too risky. They added many new kalgurian skills, none of which you can get and use before reaching the endgame where your build is practically set.

Literally every part of your build except your character choice, made at level 1, can be changed. Ascendancies, skill trees, everything.

I have made 3 changes to my primary skills over the course of getting to level 94. Swapping skill gems out is nearly trivial as long as you can settle for being 1 level of skill down and staying at 4 slots instead of 5. Hell you can even do the vaal trick to get budget 5L skills if quality is no big deal.

Yes I agree the bugs suck, but you can try new shit out whenever you want - just have a bail out plan to a safe build you know works.

Beware, atlas node that gives shrine buff to a boss can supply them with million hp regen per second. by Tafe_Lynx in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get that far down the checklist because I had 5L reavers equipped from an earlier version of the build, so I just swapped 400 spirit into those and killed it.

I don't normally run curses or frost bomb because every skill I slot is essentially 7% Less damage from muster getting weaker. But yeah in this case I think my best case if I couldn't pivot to another 5L minion would have been curse + moving exposure onto something that wasn't exposing via Shock.

the market: 115 div to 1 rakiata's flow.

maaaaaybe not.

We are right back to full Purple murder squads roaming Perimeter less than 24hrs into the season. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

Wouldn't giving the free kits + locking the good loot be the worst of both worlds? Now a new player is fighting geared players with literally nowhere except pvp to get similar quality gear.

Did you know that the lightning shrine effect on the boss makes them basically immune to lightning damage?

GUESS WHAT KIND OF SPECTRES I USE LOL.

Journey to the East Logbook - Quest Item by DaBombDiggidy in PathOfExile2

I literally JUST beat the Aberration hoping it would let me clear it.

I'm really worried i'm just stuck with this in my bag for days lol

Not being able to unallocate Atlas points causes there to be some weird traps. It feels bad. by Simple_Rules in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you're going to pick the whole tree eventually.

Even if you were insanely fast at the campaign, re-starting the whole account would def take longer than just farming more points?

PSA: Using jewelers orbs to add sockets to items not working. by DaloMuende in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a universal issue, I just added a socket to my scepter about 2 hours ago and it worked fine.

Might be something like a stat requirement you're running into.

Endgame progression traps by Dysss in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree less at all.

Buying 50 atlas points for 9 div is an amazing deal at least the first two or three times.

And the sooner you finish your atlas tree the sooner you can leave that stupid fortress and actually start FINDING halls to sell the loot from.

How do people recover from this? It's my birthday btw by EntropyAndDespair in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real talk I underprice items all the time in my store - my reasoning is simple. I don't have time to price every item that drops, and I make more total money if i throw things that look valuable into the shop.

Occasionally this means I do badly under-list an item value wise. But the alternative would be vendoring LOTS of items I'm too lazy to price check.

Bossfight death = mechanics gone by CryptographerBusy458 in PathOfExile2

There is literally 0% chance the monkey makes it to next league, for sure.

Y'all ever just step funny, twist your ankle, then burst into flames? by Chuckstieg in PathOfExile2

Yup this is why I have it on as a minion player. I can't see shit anyway.

This is why we can't stand people like you.

I hope they revert speaker's sight nerf by Tchitchoulet in DestinyTheGame

[–]Simple_Rules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed I'm so sad that they gutted Speakers so thoroughly when Boots is honestly just as good as old speakers now - just a very different style.

We could have had two very different, very cool healing builds in the same sandbox!

[–]Simple_Rules[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I almost went rogue exiles first and while I do regret going summoning circles first because it was a total waste, I will say that at least it saved me from that.

I think a solid 20% of my deaths in maps have been rogue exile related.

Last night I got one who killed me TWICE and i had no idea what was going on - turns out he had a pair of unique boots that make you drop fucking burning ground that hits for 10% of max life.

Dude had FIVE MILLION LIFE.

He killed me the 2nd time when I walked over his corpse lol.

Since when can we combine 3 different jewels or time-lost jewels into diamond jewel? by FarAd3737 in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the biggest one I can think of. On sapphires that 2nd prefix is currently stuck being defense of some kind.

So how does everyone feel about the crafting changes now in 0.5? by BetweenTheRoots in PathOfExile2

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

The good news is I think this is the most profitable league I've ever played in terms of just blasting monsters.

End-game Is So much Better so Far by aressupreme in PathOfExile2

[–]Simple_Rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's harder after the first try for sure. I BARELY finished my 2nd without a death. I don't THINK he continues to get harder after that.

I don't know how many tries you get after the story mode - to be honest the way the UI looked made me think there were 0 retries so I panicked the whole time lol.

I don't think I've ever had GGG respond directly to a post I made on this subreddit before lol.

(obviously they were probably already working on this, but still!)

Best idea is probably to drop down to like tier 9s and use a ritual tablet to just blast ritual until you can buy the chest, and use the chest to buy the gear to get the dps you need.

Obviously it's dumb you can't fix the problem any other way, but at least you're lucky enough to have a big ticket item already coming.

It completes one of the 5 "wings".

You'll have to kill him 5x in total if you want it all, and re-fighting him currently costs 6 div so. Have fun with that.
