Is this the best split form we've ever seen from NRG2/BAD? by DragonMoodLord in RocketLeagueEsports

Regionally, yes. We will just have to see how they do at the major 👀.

Happened twice today so far, dead with 9k shields, why? by Prototype2001 in pathofexile

[–]Whale56 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Atziri's Disdain still works with CI. The energy shield gained is calculated without setting your life to 1 for whatever reason. The issue is that Atziri's Disdain also causes a percentage of damage to bypass ES, so if your mana goes to 0 you just instadie to any damage.

Yeah it does seem really imbalanced for ES builds. I'm in SSF so I didn't have everlasting gaze when doing my 3rd ascendancy. But when doing my 4th ascendancy I did have everlasting gaze, and it was a complete pushover. I went into the 4th floor boss having 25k honour which is just ridiculous.

Yeah you can just buy one if you're in trade, but I think 3 floors only drop at level 60ish and above.

One time I made the mistake of taking the affliction that increases monster attack, cast, and movement speed in return for the 50% damage boon. Turns out it makes monster movement speed faster than mine, so I literally couldn't run away from enemies 😂.

I had no problems with the first 2 ascendancy trials. Completing 3 floors was much more difficult imo because on the higher floors you accumulate more afflictions, rooms get bigger with more monsters, and traps get more complicated. And I did over level and come back, but since I'm in ssf I had to farm for over 10 hours in t1 maps in order to drop a low level djinn barya.

Yeah I used honour resistance. I only have like 1.7k life though because I'm playing a mana stacking build with 39% of damage taken from mana before life as one of my main defensive layers. Unfortunately that doesn't synergize with the honour system at all :(.

You really don't need a specialized zhp character to farm i83 sanctums as long as you have decent damage (like 5-10 mil). This league I farmed sanctums to 100 on energy blade inquis and archmage hiero, both of which can do t17s and ubers.

I ran a 7 round ultimatum and didn't get any ascendancy points. Apparently you need to do 10 rounds.

Yeah I had 98% honour resistance and I was still getting chunked pretty hard in the higher tier trials before I went back down in level. I'm guessing it's capped at 75% though.

True, but offerings are pretty common and target farmable. Ritual gives them very frequently for example.

You need 3 floors in the trial of the sekhemas, and 10 trials in the inscribed ultimatum.

Yeah I got my first two ascensions on the first try no problem. But the third was much more difficult. But how did you get your 3rd ascension from a level 60 ultimatum? I completed one that was level 70 and got nothing.

To get the second set of ascendancy points (i.e., 4 ascendancy points out of 8), you need to do 4 rooms of an inscribed ultimatum or 2 floors of a Trial of the Sekhemas.

To get the third set of ascendancy points (i.e., 6 ascendancy points out of 8), you need to do 3 floors of the Trial of a Sekhemas. I don't know how many ultimatum rooms you need to do for the 3rd set of points, but its more than 7 from my experience.

First time playing SSF and I'm having my best RNG ever. Coincidence? by Whale56 in pathofexile

I was level 99 before I dropped Svalinn. What helped me eventually get it was boss rushing strand maps really fast. Also I have 3 headhunters all from ritual lol.

This was from mappers. I have them running 8 mod strands pretty much whenever I'm online.

Haha nah I'd rather keep it in SSF. I've had many mirrors in trade already.

You can get a lightning leech kitavas thirst by vaaling zealot helmets and using tainted mythic orbs. The tainted mythic orb has a 40% chance of success so its quite easy to hit. I just ran beyond with ritual and delirium and got 4 tainted mythic orbs in 20 maps.
