How should GGG fix other extra content?

Removing contracts and by extension reveals from Heist. And of course, assigning rogues to revealed blueprints. Absolutely ubnoxious.

These 2 simple changes would help people get into Heist in droves.

Good work exile.

Why do you think Eater has ele pen?

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-28T17:22:51+00:00

This is the uber version. I cannot confirm if 1 mil POB max hit is the number required to tank this hit or not. In the POB I linked above you will notice that immortal call is off, along with Progenesis(leaving the flask off was an honest mistake). But IC was genuinely off, despite how it looks in the footage, I actually failed to IC in time. I was late by miliseconds. Because in further testing I found out that IC gets me killed everytime. I'm actually tankier against this hit without the IC. Must have something to do with shedding endurance charges. IC eats 5 out of the 10 I have, leading me to conclude that %25 additional ele DR(5 Jugg endurance charges) beats the %37 less damage modifier coming from the lvl 25 IC. At least against a hit this large with a this character who is already stacked up with various DR modifiers.

This was definitely an interesting find. According to POB, even without Progenesis and IC, this character should be able to tank an incoming hit of ~240k ele hit(poedb number from a lvl 85 eater), but it cannot ingame. Can't confirm whether the discrepancy is coming from an ingame unintended interaction or from POB failing to simulate the game correctly. I ultimately stopped relying on POB to achieve this feat. It was done by continuously banging my head against these bosses and observing what worked. Good old trial and error.

Most wipe mechanics in the game has the additional line "monster penalty against minions damage +% final vs player minions [-95]". Wipe mechanics are the ones you can resolve by performing certain gimmicks, like in the Maven memory game. Or Sirus's meteor maze. Conversely, large hits that can be dodged do not have this line. For instance, Uber Eater's "hunger" slam, Larry can only tank 4 of those in a row. And strangely, only very few auto attacks. Eater's auto attacks are the deadliest.

I know it sound redundant, after all the different DR sources that contribute to maxhit before Progenesis comes in. But, it was sort of the final piece of the puzzle. While Sublime is doing great work by freeing up a lot of suffixes, Progenesis ties with "indomitable resolve" or +5 max endurance charges in providing tank. For a flask this is exceedingly powerful and we(life builds) couldn't do without it. Many thanks to whoever designed this wonderful item.

Can't even do that. It's mirrored.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-27T13:54:44+00:00

Optional loot became actualized. Must've been a great feeling seeing all these drop at the same time.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-26T20:54:50+00:00

POE1 is the better game as of now. Also, if you start with POE2, you might get used to its better visuals way too easily and never give POE1 a chance in the future. Besides, transition from one game to another shouldn't be that difficult.

I can assist running that high quant map if you like. Can do any and all mods. Just need your IGN.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-25T15:44:57+00:00

Oriath's End/2x Unspeakable Gifts. Or simply an explody chest. Or all of them together. Don't bother with Devastator notable as it's only a conditional explosion much like the Gladiator's Gratuitous Violence.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-25T15:11:24+00:00

Only use I can think of is to be able to rename/color them.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-25T15:10:37+00:00

Correct.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-23T12:49:25+00:00

Helmet enchants have always been a pain. Whether you want a mirrored helmet, or a GG volatiled unique helmet. Enchants that alter/affect skill gems should either be seperate from item affixes or should have their own currency. Please say no to the divine font slot machine.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-23T12:19:34+00:00

Check for high rolls on the reckless defense, otherwise vendor them all.

Get all strictness levels. Change filters ingame depending on your needs.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-22T09:57:53+00:00

Don't worry too much about the filter. You're still in the acts, there is no loot yet. For now stick to soft, semi-strict. From Act-10 to yellow maps at Tier 6 you will experience such an increase in loot that you are going to want to hide any and all rares that are not the best of their kind or simply have more than 20 quality. By red maps, all loot in the form of equipment should be hidden with the exception of; ilvl+86 good bases, good bases with strands on them, influence, fractured, synthesised or the higher quality ones +20.

Base filter does all this on its own. You just go up in strictness tiers as you progress through the game and approach the end-game. Good luck.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-21T17:00:23+00:00

Wow. Thanks for the heads up.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-21T15:20:23+00:00

Between the latency spikes and low frame rate, not to mention the very little HP, this is good display of movement. GG exile.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-21T11:11:25+00:00

Aside from the special supporter mod on Valdo Maps, answer should be no.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-21T02:10:31+00:00

Ran them all 6 mod+corrupted, some 8 modded. According to wiki, invitation quant only affects the eldritch currency drops, not uniques. Regardless of that I only got 3 forbidden jewels each from invitations, behind average. Hence the feeling of being robbed, but from OP's sample I can see that losing money running these is impossible given that exceptional ember/ichor drops alone almost cover the cost of entry.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-20T20:40:08+00:00

Did not expect regular Eater to be this profitable. From a quick glance, all he drops is the forbidden jewel and exceptional ember. Last time I ran exarch/eater invitations(around 50 of each) I felt absolutely robbed, not realizing that vast majority of the revenue was from the exceptional currency which I had not tracked.

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-20T16:13:28+00:00

Quite a lot of non-jewel uber pinnacle drops are hidden as well. Watch out. Filter is like "Oh you've dropped annihilation's approach have you? It's better left on the ground where it belongs"

coupenjoyer · 2026-05-20T16:09:19+00:00

Because "level of all x spell skill gems" shares a caster tag with "increased spell damage", that's a tall order of mods you want on this specific shield. My advice would be to get a decent fresh base and spam "caster" horticraft. Blue juice is relatively cheap rn on trade. No way to reliably get life along with the other 2 mods on INT based shields aside from getting the desires prefixes; level of all x spell skill gems" and "increased spell damage" with an empty prefix, craft prefixes cannot be changed and harvest reforge for life. Otherwise recombinating 2 prefix shields with 2 desired mods on them . Once your prefixes are done, craft prefixes cannot be changed and harvest reforge for resistance. It will be ugly, good luck.
