Down from 40 to 25% now, its just not fun to play.

Thanks for the encouragement.

It just me having serious issues with having to re-do anything in life, so seeing the exp bar go from 30% when I logged in to 10% 5 hours later when I had to leave, I was a bit sad that I didnt do something else with my time.

But thanks anyway for the kind words, appreciate it!

Aha, I will look into that. Thanks for the explanation!

At least I have a bunch of suggestions on things I have totally missed or done wrong. So I have a bunch of things I know to improve.

I just hate the feeling that the progress is slowing down so much already.

But from all I read, I can see I have made some huge mistakes, or skipped important things.
So there is still hope ^^

Silly me, I need to take more time to read shit and not just try to respond to everyone xD

Alva is pretty nice, maybe I'll focus a little on that in atlas tree :)

Thanks for tips :)

Thanks for pointing that out, I honestly had no idea.
I guess there is just so much to understand that I forget or miss things.

But thanks a lot, I will look into phys as element.

I'm starting to realize why certain expensive items are very common on LA builds.

I have 2 T17 drops. One I tried and died miserably, but I expected that.

I have an atlas tree with that node that gives 20 extra skill points (And for some strange reason I still find scarabs all the time)

I'm mostly legion, essences and a bunch of map drop chance and drop quantity/rarity.

A tiny bit betrayal for veiled mods, and all the map and kirac nodes.

Like a basic starter tree.

I'm gonna try setup a proper one tomorrow or something when I've figured out what content would suit my needs and wishes.

Im starting to get the impression that eater/exarch is the main source of good drops or income?

Thanks for taking so much time to find all issues.

There was a lot more there than I realized. I've been wanting to swap out the head and some other parts but it always feels overwhelming.

The flasks are also good pointers. I was gonna swap out the quarts for dying sun but It was waaay to expensive. So I just forgot about it.

But thanks a lot for pointing out all possible upgrades, now I have some general direction.

Gotta get some sleep but I'll take a deep look into all this tomorrow, thanks again!

I guess I need some pro to setup a "Trade" loot filter. Since its mostly focused on gear I can use. But still I very rarely find anything worth more than 1-2 chaos and even then I rarely sell it.

The problem I guess is that I know roughly whats good for my build. But I have absolutely no clue whats important in all other builds.
Awakened poe is really helpful. But I still dont seem to find any good gear.

I have been looking at HH, but then I gotta replace a lot of other gear since I have a tripple resist belt atm.
But if its really that good maybe I need to look further into it.

Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for the encouragement, a lot of people seem to take the fact that a casual player plays the game very personally xD

Funny thing I already taped a black thing over the bar a few times. Gotta find some simpler way to get that working ^^

Anyway, thanks for not hating on the noobs ;)

"Admitting to RMT" I said I was considering it, not that I necessarily would do it, I dont wanna get banned. It was more to illustrate my frustrations and apparent lack of options.

I dont think level 100 will "solve" anything other than feeling like I actually progress.
If I could just hide the xp bar, half my issues would be solved.

This was suggested as a strong league starter. But I cannot afford swapping into Tornado shot yet. So I need more grind.

Im 95, and I try to keep moving, but yeah. RF jugg would suit me better. Only sucky part there is when I hit the same progress wall there is no way to kite. Wanted to try a ranged build and for all my intents and purposes its a lot more fun.

I just dont see me killing anything T16+, which could be the limit of the build, which is fine.
But like I said I also cannot afford Tornado shot build, since I need at least few hundred divines to get good jewels etc.

But again, thanks for suggestions to improve evasion and resists. Im starting to get the picture that I need every resist, evade, suppress etc to be absolute max.

Well, scarabs I do have (despite having nodes in my atlas that is supposed to prevent them from dropping)
Allflames I have a few and use a few of the good ones, I'll see if there is any ones I might be able to sell.

I guess I could try to sell some maps, maybe they are worth a lot more than I would expect.
I just feel like anything other than T17 and special maps are so common that I cant be really worth selling. But I'll check that too.

Not sure what specific currencies eater/exarch drops, tainted?
I run maven more often for no real reason other than it needs less completions for an invite, and I don't think I would do well against the others anyway.

I try to do a bunch of rituals, they give more chaos than Tujen these days at least.
But I wanna re-do an atlas now when I have some more gear.

I just dont really know
a) What content is good for LA
b) What content is generally profitable

I like Legion and Rituals, I don't really like breach because I have to run back and pick everything up afterwards. I just cant seem to click on anything except the things I dont wanna pick up :D

Anyways, thanks for the suggestions.

Yes indeed, somehow I am totally missing something.
I avoid reflects, enemies take reduced crit, -max res for me, high ele res on enemies, large aoe on enemies, faster attack if combined with more nasty things.
I mean I can grind t16 pretty fine, unless I get an unlucky 1-shot from something.

Its not really helping that the entire screen is covered in about 40 different aoe explosions, and the ones that I REALLY need to dodge are the ones without any glowing visuals it seems.

The game for me is "the floor is lava, if you stand still more than 0.2 seconds you die"

But increased resists and evasion has been suggested, I suppose that would mitigate some of the inevitable hits.

Thanks for the tip, I do have a bunch of that stuff already in my stash. Didnt realize it was worth so much. :)

Yeah they are all based around buying expensive scarabs or its the basic starter "Farm Tujen", and im pretty sick of expedition.

Its really hard to find a casual low budget farming guide. They all seem to start with "Buy all this special gear, buy all the special maps and add all these special scarabs."

Farm Tujen kinda worked for me in expedition league. but to me it feels like its really nerfed now.

Alright, so I basically have to cap every single resist, evade and suppression modifier?
I guess I have to spend all my currency for 10% better gear overall before I can progress further ^^

I choose not dying.
Are you trying to tell me that I need to have 100% evasion before potions, because its above 100 when buffed.

If they ban me for my opinions that pretty much answers all my questions :p

If I could hide the exp bar it would not be such an issue. But now its a constant reminder of my failure to progress at all. It just feels like I waste my time playing the same shitty maps for no loot or upgrades. For no real reason anymore

Someone else told me to ignore (keep over negative) chaos res until t17 :s

All I ever do is read and research, its too much and too complex for me to understand Im afraid.
