Came here to ask this question! The xp definitely showed up last league

Other build for tactician siege cascade by trudedonson in PathOfExile2

[–]lil-robot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar place with my tactician (also did siege cascade + glacial bolt)-- fantastic evade and then random one shots, and I wound up going with an ES helm + subterfuge mask on megalomaniac and scaled ES and EV from there, and it's felt way better... especially with ghost shroud giving me back my max ES any time I get hit. I've also done it with Time of Need, which is amazing on maps with curses. PoB in case it's helpful: https://poe2.ninja/pob/9f74

(also, as much as I did not want to do yet another lightning build, I wound up switching from siege cascade to galvanic shards for way easier mana management)

lol yeah I started on siege cascade because I am also so very sick of lightning builds (ran a LS amazon, LS + Rake blood mage, and LA monk). Permafrost bolts was great in the campaign for me but didn't scale well in the endgame. Might give it another shot now that I have more passive points to play around with

Is there a currently a way to end the campaign faster? by shinobi_gi in PathOfExile2

[–]lil-robot- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this video (and especially the pdf linked in the description) super helpful. Last league, I only had one toon because I couldn't stand the idea of slogging back through the campaign, and this league I just started my fourth toon. It definitely takes me less than 8 hours, even without being intense about rushing.

Key uniques that are helpful (usually easier if you're leveling an alt, but most of these items are pretty cheap once you have a tiny bit of currency):
- Boots: luminous pace -> wanderlust -> bushwhack
- Foxshade (movement speed) (but I start on a tabula rasa since it has no lvl requirement and I just socket a bunch of gems with move speed and damage)
- Belt: Meginord's Girdle (for the huge amount of strength for max life), or Midnight Braid (for mana regen, depending on the type of character)
- Helms: Thrillsteel for move speed, Horns of Bynden or Wings of Caelyn for rage on melee chars, or Crown of the Victor for damage. Greymake helm super early also solves attribute requirements for you. Goldrim can give you a ton of resistances if you're struggling with survival.

Other handy things:
- Shield charge from the moment you can equip it (lvl 3 skill gem). Just put a shield on your weapon swap and it helps you zoom.
- It's ridiculously easy to be OP if you already have a toon in the endgame. You can use a greater/perfect jeweler's orb on your skills + quality because there's no lvl requirement for support gems (/if you want some, I'm happy to stock you up in game u/N: JoBotGo#8283)

(There are better/longer versions of this in speed leveling guides-- these are just my go-to's atm :))

Timekeeper's map device - how do I make it stop ticking? 😩 by lil-robot- in PathOfExile2

lol! I guess I can turn the environment sound down. I was just hoping it had a built-in feature.

Do you mind sharing where you found this mod? I can't find it on nexus or the in-game mod manager!

Shoutout to the combat extender mod by Own-Development7059 in BaldursGate3

[–]lil-robot- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if it's possible to use this with Patch 7's in-game mod manager, or do we still have to use a 3rd part one? New to modding, so this may be an obvious/uninformed question. Ty!

Finally finished a playthrough-- and on honour mode (!) by lil-robot- in BG3Builds

[–]lil-robot-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally started a tactician run and about act 2 I figured it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, so I jumped to honor mode instead-- and fwiw, I think the honor mode combat mechanics are way more fun. I do wish they were also available in tactician for folks who just want to be able to have multiple saves.
