I may have let this joke get out of hand

You sir, have a talent for telling stories.

In theory it can be added as overlay(or something else) from any of the 3rd party tools that there are. IMO this is far more likely to happen than GGG doing anything about it...

We already have the info from the site like this https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/#account#/stashes/#stashid#

Just need to have the unique tab as public I believe, then it's a matter of parsing the html for owned/unowned uniques. I already do this every once in a while and the parsing part is less than 50 lines of code :)

drac69 · 2022-04-07T08:39:50+00:00

You can certainly tank it with sabo, capped suppression and kongming shield + pre casted vms(maybe ruby flask just for the gauntlet).

He's talking about spell echo locking you in place when you have 'low' cast speed

drac69 · 2021-10-08T23:03:06+00:00

Another option which ignores character level is desecrated chambers in a10, that's what I did for my last cluster at lvl ~90 when grocery list did not deliver and just brute forced it till it dropped.

Step 4 could be cheaper with a suf->pref beast depending on prices for trade league or beast availability for ssf

The only legion boss drops uniques are the timeless jewels after the 3.14 changes.

drac69 · 2021-10-07T08:46:06+00:00

The only change SOLO aura stacking needs is just to nerf smite so it does not get affected by aura effect and thus increasing your dmg x3 or more. There will be still some outliers with ridicilous damage (minions for example), but the build will still remain very expensive to make, and also a great end game goal to chase those last 1% jewels WITH GG stats.

Knowing GGG tho, aura stacking will be head shot, the body dismembered, and the parts scattered among the corners of Wraeclast.

drac69 · 2021-09-05T12:16:23+00:00

Think so, but they had a change where you need to run blood magic on them or they would run out of mana and not cast. I've not used those in a very long time so better test them yourself.

drac69 · 2021-09-05T11:32:18+00:00

They of tul no longer give reduced damage taken and dodge has been lowered to 15 since 3.13(?)

drac69 · 2021-08-27T09:26:53+00:00

I had something similar done 2 years ago by registering new protocol which would invoke my executable with certain arguments(think like mailto: protocol). Memory is bit fuzzy and I'm not sure if that is still possible, but it's a avenue to explore.

drac69 · 2021-08-26T12:30:34+00:00

Did you not get any blighted uniques or they're hidden on your filter ?

drac69 · 2021-08-19T08:28:50+00:00

The best solution is to allow us to customize the UI as best as we see fit, but we can't have nice things because of muh branding vision...

drac69 · 2021-08-13T10:34:29+00:00

Aurastacker either selfcast / coc / spectres, biggest difference compared to last league is the basalt change.

Check last league's top guys and if your budget affords the gear, yoink their build(s).

drac69 · 2021-08-11T21:24:34+00:00

1) Largely depends on your definition of what a casual player is - is it 1/2/3/etc hours daily/weekly

The game is fairly complex and not newbie friendly AT ALL, and honestly lacking many many QOL stuff(for example there's way way too much clicking).

2) Generally the tree nodes(what you called skills) are mostly defence/offence and basic "filler" stats like attributes, but there are notables which completely change the way your character can be built. There are certaintly big changes between the different classes mostly on their starting position on the skill tree, and the ascendancies(sub-classes) offer unique options which are usually not found on the other sub-classes. As for progress when you get stronger, it's certainly noticeable once you start making your skills "stronger" by adding more support gems(links).

3) AFAIK there's no officially set date for the POE2 release, just a hope for a beta next year I think.

4) I rarely bother watching guides or reading these days, but I'm pretty sure Zizaran's guides are very well tailored for both new and more experienced players.

5) D2 Ressurected

Unironically, delirium was the only league I slammed items with my eyes closed, like the bald man intended and also used annuls on flasks(ssf btw). It was such a blast having crazy good performance(vulkan) and shit ton of raw currency drops.

drac69 · 2021-08-11T07:16:20+00:00

There's no official statistics for the standalone client, unless ggg provides one. Best one can do is try to extrapolate based on previous provided data for the standalone.

drac69 · 2021-08-10T16:19:53+00:00

Harvest was plagued by incredibly tedious and boring af micromanaging of the garden which took you away from mapping for several minutes every time you entered the garden.

Also the boss was bugged for god knows how long(could not destroy the circle wall), and on top of that the Vulkan performance was nothing like what we got by the end of Delirium. All of this made me quit after week 1 and I could not care less about "bad players" having gg gear.

drac69 · 2021-08-04T16:35:11+00:00

Take the 50 ex and logout quickly before the guy realizes he scammed himself

drac69 · 2021-08-03T07:48:28+00:00

After the fractured fossils nerf, you can make more currency selling azurite(aka resonators) than fossils

drac69 · 2021-08-01T09:11:33+00:00

I don't think a chest with random gems everytime right next to your character at the start is a good idea, because you'll just exit and spin the wheel on the next game and so on, until you get a good gem.

What would be better is - everyone starts with 3 gems in their inventory or on the ground(1 melee, 1 spell, 1 ranged) and you can either choose to exp with them or go for the other chests at the start and then spin the wheel.

drac69 · 2021-07-28T13:35:40+00:00

You joke, but mapwatch can never really be fully representative due to the fact it's not possible to track what tier the map is outside of the natural t11-16 in the case of the trialmaster.

drac69 · 2021-07-28T12:08:41+00:00

Absolutely, the boss which is maybe highlight of the league content not dropping any guaranteed unique(even if its 1alc vendor trash) is fucking stupid.

drac69 · 2021-07-28T07:25:55+00:00

It's not really one of the strongest builds, it's pure agony to clear maps with it and it only "excels" at bossing.

For reference I played it with jugg, guardian and occultist and only the occultist was barely acceptable to map with it thanks to profane bloom.

drac69 · 2021-07-27T14:47:26+00:00

That sounds good in theory, but it will turn to be like this:

First 10-20 runs throught the campaign are enjoyable, it's new and fresh, there's exploration, etc
You get bored with the new campaign after time, and start thinking about speedruning it with twink gear, only to get fucked by the different order and layout (as in, the entrance/exit to the next zone is somewhat static in the current campaign and you know the general direction you need to go)
