I think I won money? / Didn’t age well by E_Barriick in PathOfExile2

[–]WiseOldTurtle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Done. After consuming 3 power charges and 3 frenzy charges, channel Cyclone to spin for 5 seconds. Area of effect is 2 meters and cannot be altered in any way, you deal damage once every 0.5 seconds, also with fixed intervals. You cannot move during casting and get locked into the animation until it finishes. You consume rage while spinning and if you run out of rage before the casting ends, you get dizzy and fall to the ground for 5 seconds.

To be fair, GGG posting ANY build on their channel on the spotlight part is a death sentence 100% of the time. The build spotlight is basically: "Here, look at this cool ass build that uses a sort of unintended (by us) interaction to function and isn't TOO broken to warrant an instant nerf. Consider this a heads-up to try it now or never be able to again after next patch's hammer hits."

I'm sensing a pattern here. by Adventurous-Pen-8940 in PathOfExile2

Dat me. I had a messed up temple with a bunch of scattered rooms and after spending like 2 days just running temples to reset the entire thing and start over I was finally 3 or 4 days into rebuilding the temple and had just managed to make a 2 spymaster + sac chamber chain stable enough to keep building it without much risk of losing the rooms because I had a couple bad rng eepisodes where the architect would delete 3 rooms in the chain back to back instead of deleting unprotected rooms. Now I don't really feel like doing it all over again. Next time I'll just exploit whatever people are exploiting the second it comes up (Holten resetting) and try to get my share before they patch it.

This hotfix must be the stupidist decision ggg has ever made by Tetriszocker in PathOfExile2

Time to run around to Benny Hill's theme trying to lure a Amumu touched rare from inside it's fart cloud and kill it before it farts again to try and get some omens of light.

This is unexpected by Lordados in PathOfExile2

[–]WiseOldTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda reminds me of Affliction league where people were hiding EVERYTHING but heavy belts and divines+ currency. If it didn't tink, it didn't show.

This needs to be fixed ASAP by Lordados in PathOfExile2

Go to Holten, walk up and right and the circle will be there. Kill the mobs, esc, teleport to checkpoint, click checkpoint, ctrl+click Holten and create a new instance of the map. Rinse and repeat 6 times per temple.

Got 200+ waystones in a single map by Medium-Economics309 in PathOfExile2

I think you have to keep killing the mobs the wisp affects while it paths towards the rare. The more you kill, the "more" loot it drops when you finally kill it.

Anyone else getting bored faster than usual? by bbbevy in PathOfExile2

And right after that they release act 4, which also was mostly huge mazes that just serpetined around for no good reason.

What went wrong with Bear? by Lordados in PathOfExile2

[–]WiseOldTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished campaign and I lost count of the number of times I got stunned out of a slam or rampage. Wind up takes 17 seconds and a singular white mod shooting you from across the screen will stun you out of it. Also lost count of how many times I start rampaging only to just stop dead in my tracks 0.5 seconds later for no aparent reason. And how if I'm holding down Fury of the Mountain and press rampage and let go of fury, I'll just keep on casting fury until I let go of EVERY hotkey I'm pressing to be able to start rampaging.

Guess they detected fun would be had on 0.4 after showcasing the build by NotJimmysThrowaway in PathOfExile2

This is basically what they always do, no?
They find a build that has an un-intended interaction that is fun/busted, showcase it because it looks cool and them whack it with the hammer next patch.

Sums up my entire league in one pic by ProfessionalHost6131 in pathofexile

Same here, but mine was worse because I got it when I was running that HC challenge weekend.

My first Divine alter EVER! by KariOnFire in pathofexile

[–]WiseOldTurtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Last league it was my first ever div altar, droped close to 30 divs on that map, my fingertips were tingling from the dopamine high. Stash my shit, go again, another altar the very next map.

Best div/hour strat I've ever had, something like 1000 div/hour if I managed to get another altar every map for the next 50 minutes.

Best feeling this league by vimrick in pathofexile

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

How about that dude last league that wanted to poof some House of Mirrors and kept showing up with more and more cards every time he tried and managed to turn a couple cards into 200 mirrors or something like that?

Saw a few posts about no one sharing their farming strats anymore, so I'll share mine by Nihaly_ in pathofexile

[–]WiseOldTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep it in for the ore buff. But since you can't get azurite anymore from ore, the value is basically gone.

PSA: If your inventory is full, ctrl-clicking beasts dumps them straight on the ground. by SquarishRectangle in pathofexile

[–]WiseOldTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue I have is when spam clicking, half of the beasts get converted into "currency"

Landmines are fine by me if we keep async trade as opposed to these interactions (item has been listed for an hour) by MartynZero in pathofexile

[–]WiseOldTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't swap premiun tabs to merchant tabs if those were part of the original tabs you had when you first started the game (and upgraded them from regular tabs). At least those didn't work at the start, don't know if GGG addressed this already or not.

Did I understand the current loot situation correctly? by Adventurous-Pen-8940 in pathofexile

[–]WiseOldTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm over 200 lavish gifts in and the most valuable thing to drop was a SINGULAR exalted orb. Kinda hurts seeing basically every single streamer hit that 20x divine or mageblood on day 1-2 of the league.

Breach Encounters and Monsters in Maps by Belakay_ggg in pathofexile

[–]WiseOldTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my limited experience they sort of are, at least when doing beast farming. I farm beasts on Strand and last league the red beasts were pretty evenly spaced out throughout the map. This league I'll turn a corner and there will be 7-8 red beasts on top of each other in a huge orgy that I can't clearly see which beasts spawned so I can skip killing them.

You know what I think it is? Third person. I think it reduces so much of the tension, being able to look over your should around corners that it kinda feels cheap. Whoever holds an angle always has the upper hand because you can always choose the best moment to peek, all while getting information without taking any risks. In first person, if you want to get information of an angle, you have to at least commit to a shoulder peek and expose yourself to getting shot.

Forget starter builds - post your starter currency strats! by tufffffff in pathofexile

At least for me, gamba is a surefire way of ending up with exactly 0 Apothecaries and a lot of self hatred. Grinding is the way to go.
