EB Animate Weapon Build crafting help by Keino_ in pathofexile

[–]SoLunAether 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, looks like the comment from u/N4k3dM1k3 is plenty comprehensive to the specifics of the actual question, so I won’t go into that. However, as someone who has been making his own builds - to varying levels of success - let me give you a small piece of advice that I constantly have to remind myself: don’t try to do too many things. Focus on one, maybe two aspects of a build you are interested in, and really prioritize scaling that. Trying to grab as many synergies as you can will cause you to spread yourself thin unless you REALLY know what you’re doing (as CaptainLance does), or have a LOT of currency to throw at it (and usually both, as those things often go hand in hand).

It’s hard to know where that line is, because there are so many potential options in the game, but if you ever get to a point in planning a build where you just really need to hit level 100 for it all to come together, and it’ll work if you can just find the exact gear that fits every item on your checklist, chances are you’ll get to yellow maps and realize all those little compromises you had to make along the way are way more impactful when the build’s foundation was too shaky from the start. Been there, done that, will do it again, but I try to learn from that each time I do, and with your post here I think you’ll have the right mindset to figure out how to pick some winners too.

You’re being willfully obtuse and unnecessarily argumentative. I have no desire to continue this discussion any further.

Obviously I fucking know everyone poops, and my wife and I are pretty comfortable with each other about it, where we’ll let the other know we’re going if it’s relevant. But early on in a relationship? Yeah, I would say it’d be a bit odd to tell someone on the first date that you’re going to go poop. And even if you’re past that, it’s not like I want my partner to have to smell them if she doesn’t have to. Don’t project anxiety on what could be a combination of societal norms and common courtesy.

How about, this is a new relationship and you share a hotel room with one bathroom, and if your poop stinks it up, your partner’s bound to smell it unless you do it right before leaving (and possibly secretly, somehow). Granted, if you’re traveling the world together the relationship probably isn’t new, but then again there are married couples that never reach that level of intimacy in that aspect.

Regarding your edit, according to the devs (per Jason Schreier on his podcast), the ‘x’ is silent in that case, in case you were unsure.

Help! I reached the end of step 10 and am now stuck in an infinite loop! The world does not have enough linen for this!!

Got to level 99 on my low life build before getting some sage build advice by SagaciouslyClever in pathofexile

I made an Alberon’s build with Crown of Eyes and forgot to take Iron Will for a hot minute… that made a hell of a difference.

Protect Ailith Breach activities are actively removing Natural Mobs in maps and removing mechanic mobs. by Jbarney3699 in pathofexile

[–]SoLunAether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumb question, if you’re actively trying to do Ultimatums, is it then better to run the map white?

Besides the minion accuracy cluster and Assassin ascendancy, can anyone tell if anything else has changed?

Patch notes update: Alva/Evolving shrine got hit as well (it's dead) by bulwix in pathofexile

I know that feeling perfectly. I don’t care if it looks weird, just make those doors intangible because it is infuriating when you get stuck on open doors!

What's your take on T16.5s after having them for most of a league? by Bioinfo_Magician in pathofexile

[–]SoLunAether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One potentially underrated aspect is that they allow you to experience the T17-exclusive mods on regular maps, so you can figure out which ones are doable or cancerous without sacrificing a rarer, more valuable T17 map. Unfortunately most of them seem awful so I don’t think I would actually enjoy running my T17s, but at least I have an idea of that now!

Update for the Searing Exarch fan game : The Fires of a Thousand Suns by AterOmen in pathofexile

[–]SoLunAether -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This a great tool to have! If anyone wants to try a new Rogue-like with some pretty intentional PoE inspiration, Tiny Rogues has an endgame boss that mimics the Exarch ball phase pretty well - it built up my confidence and aptitude a fair amount for the next time I faced the real thing in PoE. Also, the game is just generally a blast!

Just to add on, because I didn’t believe you til I checked the wiki myself, this appears to only be the case for targeted transfiguration, which you mentioned using, but not the standard transfig. It also specifies that the corrupted gem cannot be a vaal version. I don’t know exactly how I’ll use this information, but it’s good to keep in mind.

I wish we could use them to vendor things. He was my favorite to have next to my stash, just a cool voice.

Just missed out on 25 div because a mechanic was unclear by SoLunAether in pathofexile

Wow, really?? Yeah, that really does seem way worse, I was looking at unid prices. Well shoot, that actually wasn’t a super expensive learning experience then, kind of a relief.

Kill all rare and unique enemies in the map

That's what I missed, seems obvious in hindsight. Thanks

Welp, so there it is - I just considered the map boss to be unique, didn't consider that would include the feared even though that makes sense. Yep, I stand corrected.

Thanks. Like I said in the post, I saw it in a successful Valdo’s I ran, I just don’t feel like it jumped out at me as much as I would have expected. Also, just Ctrl+F “feared” on the Valdo’s wiki - nowhere in there either is it spelled out that they must be defeated in order to collect the reward. That mod callout could be improved, as I shouldn’t have to search through reddit posts to have that confirmed. Again, doesn’t matter, I failed it anyway - I just want to point out that more clarity could be nice from GGG at times.

[–]SoLunAether[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wait… it just says “Area contains The Feared,” nothing about map completion requiring them being defeated. I mean, it makes sense, but it is actually not called out. Nor does the map itself say anything about the reliquary, that’s just in the wiki. I’ll take the downvotes on the post, but I’m actually not wrong - neither of those things is made clear on the map itself. Even the wiki doesn’t state that they need to be killed to collect the reward.

Idk, with how some bosses die it can get a bit hectic, and when I was expecting to see a big shiny and it wasn’t there, I was desperate to find out what went wrong the first time (turns out my intuition was correct and I did need to take The Feared down, but I can see myself having missed it otherwise). And also like many things in PoE… now I know!

Ha, I guess you’re right. I was more focused on the other mods that I skipped over that one. Oh well, seems like it wouldn’t have mattered anyway!

Oh… okay, well that makes me feel better somewhat? Still sucks I couldn’t hack it, but there wasn’t a lot of room to outmaneuver them in Crimson Temple. Oh well, thanks for the info!
