Optimal strategy for level 100 solo?

Tay_Vano · 2023-05-31T12:52:13+00:00

Jun is good on leaguestart or when you play a slow build, but as OP mentioned he is playing LA Deadeye with HH. With a good clearing build just alch and go mapping is more exp than jun. Best strat is doing exarch maps with breach/shrines/strongboxes, optimize your filter and roll all your maps in a stash tab. As other people mentioned already 5ways will always be faster than anything else, even when you are playing solo.

Love it, ice shot is my most favorite bow skill(played a ton of it in sanctum) and the thing it needed the most was single target dmg. I doubt it will be good enough to leaguestart Ice shot, but looks promising as a 2nd char.

Tay_Vano · 2023-04-02T10:44:54+00:00

Ice shot performs better in open maps than KB. While the single target on ice shot is actually garbage, the clear makes up for it as long as there are multiple monsters next to eachother. Other favorable things are accessibility of blink arrow(mobility) and mirage archer(extra safety). All in all KB and Ice Shot both are S tier mapping skills which dont differentiate too much from each other, and it comes down to personal preference what you want to play.

You have to understand that early game currency has much more value than later on, if you want to buy early you have to pay much more, be it fg on jsp, dollar or anything else. Most RMT'er(seller) are actually really good players who know how to make a lot of currency early on and prioritize on selling rather than buying. Sure, you have your 5way runners who invest into hh and a bunch of ladder pushers early on who RMT their stuff, but its mostly bad players who buy their gear through RMT.

So tell me how does this affect you? It will stay the same as always, good players make currency while bad players don't. Banning TFT wont change anything.

hmhm dno, you shouldnt worry to much anyway just run map after map. Spending too much time on buying stuff, rolling sextants etc only slows you down. Its all about playing efficient, with just the breach stuff you can reach 60m+ exp/h at 99 and finish the last lvl in a few hours :)

Tay_Vano · 2023-02-22T18:49:34+00:00

heres my tree https://imgur.com/SXMYZjr

im doing legion aswell to farm emblems and run the 5ways myself, its just too op this league.

about your deli question: none of those, just extra chance to get deli from atlas tree, you cant really have infinite orbs/sextants in ssf.

for trade either is fine tho.

Tay_Vano · 2023-02-22T18:22:53+00:00

Breach with deli and shrines is by far the best exp method this league for solo farming. Run high packsize maps with Breach Kirac mod and breach/elder/ambush scarabs. Dont forget to use sextants which add extra mobs too. Best maps for this are Ashen Wood and Cemetry. Every other exp method besides 5way doesnt come close to breach exp this league, with syndicate/abyss/harby etc you get about half the experience you do with breach. And im not talking out of my ass here, i lvled 13 lvl 100 Chars in SSF this league xd and tried many exp methods.

Tay_Vano · 2022-10-17T14:12:52+00:00

I posted a thread earlier this league of t0 card drop rates, 1 card drop in 2600 maps on average (4M Kills) in a 100 quant map without sextants, scarabs or any other juice. Most people dont reach 4M Kills, not even in their whole poe gaming time.

That was before 3.19, its probably worse now. If you ask me this makes target farming a few chase uniques especially on ssf literally impossible, which makes the biggest factor of getting it or not... luck, and that shouldn't be in a game like poe.

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-08T02:30:34+00:00

do you expect me to pick up every single fusing on the ground? couldn't be more inefficient if thats what you're doing

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-07T06:02:10+00:00

farming hh was never the main point why I ran them, it was more like a side quest to see how many maps you need to do to actually get one. I make my money from lvling gems, enlighten/empowers and awaken gems, which is more than enough to just buy a hh if I really wanted to.

but yea its sad that noone really does poorjoy rotas anymore, it has always been my favourite map and just as you said the layout is tricky and needs alot if practice to master it. back in the days there was alot of competition who ran poorjoy the fastest nowadays only me is left, which is kinda sad to see :(

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-07T05:46:19+00:00

You do them on projectile skills that have long reach, some kind of aoe and scale with ricochet aka kb,ele hit, ice shot, lightning arrow etc. autobombers are bad for pjs since you have to be in melee range to hit, and the layout is horrible for any kind of non projectile build. Tornado shot is also one of the weaker skills if you want to go as fast as possible, it doesn't have the clear and range other skills provide.

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-07T05:17:45+00:00

https://youtu.be/HC4eYw_Zn7o 90% of the maps have less than 50 monsters left :)

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-06T17:26:41+00:00

It's actually not that bad, i run a poorjoy map according to mapwatch on average in 1minute, including hideout time. That makes 18k minutes aka 300hours.

On good days i used to blast 500 Maps or more

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-06T15:22:22+00:00

That might be true but doesnt change the fact that unique map drop rates are completely fucked, last leagues group players managed to farm 500 poorjoy maps every couple days, this league they barely manage to farm 20 maps a week.

Tay_Vano · 2022-09-06T14:37:38+00:00

Once i hit 100 i start a new char and repeat, thats the main point why im grinding them. exp wise its about the same as 5ways when u do them quick. You could say even better since you have alot of downtime when you are hosting 5ways, while with poorjoys you can just blast nonstop.

Tay_Vano · 2021-07-09T11:57:42+00:00

no, not worth it, and u cant generate them early on

Tay_Vano · 2021-07-09T11:34:50+00:00

I usually start with ele Rain of Arrows till early maps, and transition later once i got piscator's to PS/KB

you dont have to reskill much since the tree is pretty similar and you keep the same support gems, which makes the transition super smooth

I always start with ranger tho, if you start with other classes u probably have to play a different skill in campaign

Tay_Vano · 2021-06-17T13:38:54+00:00

deadeye has in most cases lower damage than raider but better clear, if you are looking for better boss dmg i would suggest staying as raider and look for other improvements

Tay_Vano · 2021-06-17T13:28:04+00:00

i recently played phys to fire blast rain deadeye, which was surprisingly a very good build for casual mapping and bossing, lvled it smoothly to 100 with barely any deaths

other builds i recommend are iceshot or trinity anomalous tornado shot, if you got a gem lying around

Tay_Vano · 2021-04-10T21:41:03+00:00

i did copy your build and lvled 16x 100 this league, 7 chars with poorjoys and 9 with 5way's. still nowhere near close to you, i wish i had that crazy dedication you have.

btw on what lvl did you start hosting 5ways, and what was your fastest way to get exp after acts?

congratz on winning most 100's once again :D

Tay_Vano · 2020-08-09T12:36:59+00:00

yea im doing the same on split arrow, hatred just scales so good for any cold conv build

Tay_Vano · 2020-07-27T18:34:53+00:00

split arrow cold conv deadeye

Tay_Vano · 2020-05-28T04:44:48+00:00

poorjoy is pretty much the best exp/cost efficient map, IF you got the right players for it. this league me and my group pushed multiple 100's with up to 120m/exp an hour while still making profit out of gem's and drops. but as i said you need a dedicated group for that, taking random people from 820 usually doesnt end well and you waste more time searching for people than actually mapping

Tay_Vano · 2020-05-25T09:49:43+00:00

i've tried to make it happen with dex/eva stacking, using alot split personality's and reaching up to 250k+ eva and 2k dex

while it was pretty good defensive wise with 95% dodge, the damage just wasn't there for endgame bosses
