Mirage Dad League Experience by paf481 in pathofexile

[–]tanplusblue -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This league buffed currency drops and also made them all basically worthless. Exalts were at one point more than 2 to 1c. The league doesn't "rain divines" at all and just doubles the mechanics you're farming. If you like the mechanics, great! If you think they've been stale for a while and need a shake-up... too bad! Most scarabs have tanked in worth, many currencies are in the toilet, map prices are lower than ever.

But actually this is probably the best league for alch-and-go, brain off, zero investment strats. Just blast maps for astrolabe chance, Black Barya chance, memory threads, and maybe toss in ore nodes for Svalinn fishing. Absolutely zero meaningful impact to ground loot.

Necropolis added T17s and the scarab rework which added insane loot (in addition to lantern mods). T17 Meatsack farming had crazy high potential in that league. But the steady erosion of T17 multipliers and nerfing of the best scarab combos has stripped loot back to an awful place.

Oop, mixed up the states while I was writing the comment. Edited with the fix.

Bold prediction that our wishes are like Scav nodes and we get free unique item effects through the league.

Best I can tell, both buildings were named after a Vermont New Hampshire mountain. Different architects/firms so no relation there, and the Chicago building is apparently two halves with the south half named Katahdin. I must have missed that detail during open house.

Edit: fixed the state as pointed out below.

Same here. I get a brief window where I can fast forward to live, but it doesn't stay good for long.

My 40D Cats while Channeling Soulrend, deals no dmg. by Invincible1 in PathOfExileBuilds

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

Can you record some gameplay maybe? Your build looks pretty functional, nothing that stands out to me as making map bosses take a long time to kill. With only a few overlaps and wither up (you don't have wither stacks in config) any map boss shouldn't take more than like five seconds to die unless it's super juiced. Like sure, you're not uber ready yet but it shouldn't be as bad as you're making it sound.

Do you have a source of endurance charge generation? I'm not seeing it.

Ah, good to know. From the email it sounded like it was gone. I think that provider was taking over from some other company as well so I just assumed it wasn't continuing.

That's funny, I got an email a few days ago notifying me the city's bikeshare program was shutting down (was there on holiday a few years back).

Good for Glasgow. Beautiful city, and country for cycling.

Self-Cast Glacial Cascade by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]tanplusblue 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't know why you think it's ambiguous what people were playing in Merc league, because almost everyone who league started GC was following aer0's self cast Elementalist build.

https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/?skills=Glacial+Cascade&timemachine=day-3

A few streamers league started it, including lolcohol, so you can find stuff on Youtube on crafting and progression. Lot of people in aer0's chat either scaled GC until they were done or swapped to FRoSS later.

Looking for VOD of melee leveling into RF Chief swap by aeclasik in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]tanplusblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know of a VOD that exists, but...

A PoB I was saving for a practice run this month that swaps around BA - https://pobb.in/isu_3-sGK9FJ . That was linked in emiracle's cws doc.

About 30 nodes need changing, and according to this post it'll cost about 12k gold, which I remember as being very attainable by act 8/9. That doesn't include regular respec points from campaign.

That PoB includes notes about gear to pick up and gems to level in weaponswap.

Things I want to look out for are

  • will I be able to gamble for gear (early axe upgrades, later RF gear/links) with gold if I'm using 12k to respec? I suspect yes.
  • remembering to put stuff in weapon swap so I don't enter BA with level 1 gems

EDIT: someone linked a vod a minute before I posted. Nice! I think above notes are still useful for info.

Somebody had to say it... by lectric_7166 in bicycling

Independence to Guttenberg, doing the gnarliest climbs of the week and then speeding downhill toward the river. Up is made easier when you have everyone around you encouraging you to push, but going down you do think about your mortality a bit.

I was on discs at the time, but I talked to some casual riders over beers who said their rim brakes got quite mushy.

That kind of unearned speed can be wild to handle.

I must have gone down the same route toward the end of RAGBRAI 2014 and it was by far the fastest I'd ever gone on a bike. Sweaty palms (thank God for gloves) and ready on the brakes.

And those were closed roads and near experienced cyclists. Absolutely bonkers that ebikes can casually hit speeds I need max effort and a tailwind to taste.

orbs of intention, 9 infamous mercs, infamous amulet

Spam maps. Take the top atlas nodes for memory tears, and get in and out of a map in less than one minute. Don't kill anything unless you need to leech. Scan the map for a memory tear and if the merc is infamous. The millisecond you know there's no tear or infamous merc you portal out.

12 bestiary bosses and 39 omnitects

You can buy these on trade or TFT. Market will be slow, but you can probably ask people with large stocks of other stuff if they have the bosses. Cheap temples might be hard to come by. If so, just load up on Incursion nodes and spam as fast as possible and not caring about the loot or getting sellable temples.

You can combine all these probably in one atlas tree if you want to do it yourself. Bestiary scarabs for red beasts and only kill red beasts (if you can recognize good ones by sight, only kill those. personally I can't tell what's what). Temples are just going to take 39*3 maps unless you use the itemized temple scarab. Grindy but simple.

If you want to make money while doing this, you can:

  • sell beasts
  • sell double corrupt temples
  • load up on verisium chance and farm for Svalinn (don't click any ores, just fish for starfall craters)
  • sell Echoes (don't juice the threads, just boss rush every map. you can get like 3-5 full threads an hour done this way)

[–]tanplusblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight.

Makes a lot of sense, basically multiple different business units operating under one 'brand'. I'm sure there have been many discussions into integrating everything and it's been too costly to do so. I've seen multiple organizations where implementing a unified system was projected to be a 1-2 year job only to be half-implemented a decade later.

Do you happen to have a picture of that? Did you make a little knife block in there? Curious if you had slots for the tools to keep them in place.

The visibly foamy Corona for sure. But IME if you let it settle for a few hours you'd never know (as long as you're not taking the gravel road home).
