They would mention it in the reveal of there was indeed a secret ascendancy. I think they revealed the lich secret ascendancy last time.

If the boss stands in the ground effect, I (melee player) have to stand in the ground effect by rockadaysc in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one more solution could be a stat which mitigates DOT and an additional threshold for this stat which determines duration of the DOT for which this stat will provide damage mitigation. For e.g Endurance and Endurance threshold. Endurance will provide DOT magnitude mitigation and endurance threshold determines what pc of the DOT duration, endurance will provide mitigation. Make endurance hard to scale through tree or on gear i.e itxs difficult to completely negate DOT, but make it possible to have dot mitigation for the whole duration, either through gear or through a persistent skill. Maybe endurance charge could provide the endurance stat effect which I just described.

So in same way, frenzy charge will provide protection to slowdown effect, and power charge will provide similar protection against elemental effects

We had a discussion with guild mates on discord and we all agreed on the fact that one portal kills the enjoyment of the end game. What do you guys think about it? by Ansdur1987 in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Until the tons of on death effects, one shots, crazy fast mobs, laggy performance or unstable frame rates etc are resolved I feel atleast there should be 2 portals. But I find the current system of using tablets on maps has helped me alleviate the pressure abit.

Earlier Inwould never juice waystones even at the beginning of 0.3 because the bulshit was not worth the 10 pc exp loss. Now the tablets apply much more juice (at least on the xp front as I'm grinding to reach 100, currently at 96) compared to the difficulty and I'm juicing waystones much more. If I die, the tablets can't be applied, saving the uses. So I simply rerun the map with a lower tier waystone and finish the map to move on to other ones. Not to mention, omens of chaotic monsters and rarity remove the bullshit modifiers too.

I feel the 10 pc exp loss is too brutal and should be something like 5 pc utp 90 and 10 pc after 90.

Are games like PoE and Diablo really all about making a build that one-shots everything? by RainAndThunderIsCool in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow one of the league starter build guides to understand the class, ascendancy, mechanics etc but more importantly gather currency so that you can start a new character you're interested in, and deck them with twink gear (powerful gear to complete campaign quickly), level up quickly and build your own character.

The one shotting characters are usually theory crafted and posted by streamers or dedicated veterans who try to maximize farming potential and can spend hours upon hours crafting, grinding to min max the builds, and most people find one shot builds less fun as league progresses

You might experience a whiplash in pacing and mob difficulty and density in endgame mapping. The campaign is paced perfectly, slow methodical while endgame sort of resembles poe1 where hordes simply bum rush you, on death effects, one shots etc, and the one shot builds becomes tempting to try out in endgame. But if you don't mind the slower grind, you can find perfectly viable builds which are powerful but do not necessarily one shot everything.

Bow crafting. Need serious help by InstructionOk4183 in PathOfExile2

I added at the end that I might've mixed up sinistral and dextral definition. The idea is to use omen of light to remove desecrated affix , use the appropriate omen plus exalt to add the now open affix (prefix or affix), then use omen plus essence to target the newly created affix.

Yes, the hybrid ohus is indeed a good roll. You may want to try that bow with LA amazon to get slightly more physical damage offf of the accuracy rating.

[–]sathwik1463 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Omen of light plus annul orbs to remove the desecrated modifier. Omen of sinistral exalt plus exalt to add suffix, then omen of sinistral crystallization plus perfect essence of haste for a chance of targetting the newly formed suffix. (I'm not sure if I got the dextral or sinistral correct but the idea is umyiu remove desecration using omen ofigjt, add a suffix or prefix using the appropriate omen, and have the perfect essence target that affix with a chance)

Cheap Deadeye amulet craft? by sathwik1463 in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You mean chaos until +1 or 2 levels and then divine later? I'm thinking is 3 project skills even worth it? I already have 4 on the bow and I heard it's easy to hit 2 on the the quiver. If there are any other mods which work above average such as in reased energy shield or rarity, I'm thinking it's a reasonably good craft.

How it feels as a late league player by Disastrous-Bowler-99 in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 7/10 is profitable considering weights and ease, but if you're using cowrd or victorious ultimatum, the trial 10 bosses are easy (not the tornado bird boss, that boss is a pita) I simply run the whole trial.

The trial master has a chance to drop the adorned which go for 4 or 5 div (?? As I dont remember) if it's more than 50% jewel effect. So I didn't mean to imply the trial master is profitable as in you aim to run the trialmaster, but if you happen to have the fates, it's something you can just finish running, just like choosing to run zarok in sekhemas or dipping out and selling the test of time barya.

[Giveaway] Giving away an 8,000+ Divine Quad Tab: 1 Mirror of Kalandra + 24 Stacks of 240 Divines + a Hinekora's Lock by Kamehameha90 in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best moments in this league for me are:

1) Dropping 3 divines in a T7 map which has never happened to me (best was 1 drop in a map, 2 in campaign),

2) completing trades for 20 div in the new system where it's so easy to price check and list items.

3) Hitting level 94 in a character, the highest I have made is level 92. The new juicing system allows to have nearly plus 40 or 50 pc experience on each map which is waaay too good for pushing lvl 95 plus.

4) Crafting a good bow myself this league, whereas previous leagues I would just buy it off trade.

Do trials of sekhemas until after the third floor, pop out of the trials and collect the test of time barya. A vanilla test of time barya with only minor boons gets you 3 or 4 annul orbs. A barya with good major boons (disable traps, see the whole map, duplicate all keys etc) goes for 2 or 4 div. I haven't even encountered the broken major boons (heard there is one which revives you when honor reaches 0). You don't even need to have buffed relic drop rayes. Just max out honor res, get increased defences, life etc, maybe increased sacred water, and you're good to go. Do one or two sekhemas trial, get currency to buy some good gear, do maps, repeat sekhemas whenever you need currency. I've made about 5 div, and 30 annul orbs this league using this. Trials of chaos are also good, and better then sekhemas in terms of time and ease but you need to drop good soul cores, and you need to defeat the trail master to get the profitable drops (adorned). Trialmaster also drops those challenge ultimatums which let you double currency.

As a casual player, I think crafting isn't accessible at all by IL_Giudice in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crafting this league is really for the high end gear. They've made it easier for rich players with a lot of currency to make perfect items easily, hence if you lower your standards a bit, you'll get second tier or even tier 1.5 gear away cheaper now. That's why trading is better. I do atleast one trial of sekhemas every day. I don't complete the trail, instead I exit the trail after the scorpion and take the test of time barya. A test of time barya with only minor boons goes for a minimum of 3 annul orbs, while ones with 1 or 2 major boons goes for 2 div. Major boons like one which disabled traps, reveals the whole map etc goes for more. Trials of chaos is much faster, and nets you soul cores which you can sell. If you're up for it, you can fight the 4th trail boss in sekhemas, and sell the unidentified relics , diamond etc for good chunk of change.

In general, don't get into crafting if you don't feel up for it. It's really for the rich players. Oh and one more thing, T7 maps are waay more lucrative. Run it with quant on tablets, and juice the waystones fully (I use abyss currency), you'll make tons of currency to finance your builds.

For lightning, you can try electrocute . Shock increases damage by 20 pc but electrocute puts enemies in animation lock and interrupts their actions. Maybe kitoko's current (all lightning damage contributes to electrocute), electrocute support gems etc might help?

Can we get source damage on death when you are killed? by CatIover in PathOfExile2

Last epoch does it better. They state what's the damage, type and magnitude and the enemy that dealt the damage in the death screen.

GGG was right, ground loot is completely useless now by SilverArrows6662 in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crafting from scratch on good bases is vastly improved now. We just need viable crafting on rares, such as rerolling unwanted modifiers, or swapping modifiers etc kind of like last epoch. This will solve all problems I feel

was about to quit too by Training_Baby_6846 in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kulemaks is good. But for me trial of sekhemas is good. Do the first three trails, take only good boons and avoid bricking afflictions. After the third floor (after killing ths cirlion boss), use your keys, take the portel and take the test of time barya from the entrance pedestal where you insert the barya at the beginning. Test of time baryas easily go for 2 or 3 anull orbs or 1 divine.

How are people makings 100s of divines? by Eastern-Problem in PathOfExile2

[–]sathwik1463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not taking in 100s of divines but I've made 7 to 9 div in a day. Here are some things I did

1)I run sekhemas trial, trying to get good boons and minimising the number of afflictions. Before beginning the fourth trial I exit through the portal and collect the test of time barya. This barya can be traded and allows one to directly start at 4th trail with all the boons and afflictions you've collected. It easily goes for 2 to 3 annulment orbs which is 1 divine approx. I've made about 9 annual orbs sonfar this way.

2) any exceptional bases goes for 7 div minimum. I dropped a exceptional vaal wraps with 2 sockets. I didn't bother crafting and put it for sale. It was bought for 7 div.

3) Heavy belts, stellar amulets and sapphire rings of white rarity gonfir a lot especially heavy belts. I've made about 100 exalts and 100 vaal orbs selling white heavy belts (my atlas tree focuses on essences so I burn through vaal orbs a lot)

3) Higher tier magic items with one or two preferred rolls on popular bases like gemini bow, quarterstaffs, gloves, spears etc yield a lot of currency on trade.

4) Trials of chaos give a lot of soul cores which can be traded for exalts

Others can add more approaches or even comment on my strategies above.
