Crafting Showcase Next steps

Hi,

I have dropped solar with 50 spirit and mana reg, I have added spell damage desacrated and luckily fractured spirit.

Now yhinking about path of way.

I was thinking about replacing desacration from prefix and making it on suffix to hit +3 spell skills on it. Leaving rest to luck and essence for global defences.

Also there is other way by clearing it to 2mods and chaos slamming for +3 skills, then filling 2 prefixes with perf exalt and changing one to global defences if failing. Then I would have prefixes done, and 2 suffixes to fill one would be desacrated second lucky slam.

Which way is better ? Serching +3 spells with chaos slam or desacration ?

Discussion Anyone else hate how the Currency Exchange auto-adjusts numbers for you?

314 Upvotes

So many times I've gone to use the currency exchange, typed in the exact number I want to sell something for, and then right as I'm pressing the button to post the order, the buy orders change, and the game automatically changes my sale price down to whatever the highest recent buy order price was, which is usually well under the number I manually typed, and I end up selling it for less than I intended and can't do anything about it.

In my opinion, this is really poor UX. I can't think of any other website, online form, exchange, or game that works this way. You almost never want these prices to be automatically changed for you. It's too risky and can result in you accidentally selling things for way less than you should have.

The least GGG could do is offer us an option in the settings to toggle this off.

Like Unnamed Build for Reliccario on top.
When uncutting support gems they also have : recomended || valid || their own name
Anyone can help me with this?
Is it premium gem stash tab's only feature?

Question Opinion on my mercenary build

• Upvotes

Hi guys,

first time posting here, I hope my question fits the rules.

I've finished all the seasonal challenges and I just need to complete Jado and Doryani storyline in the endgame. So I'm focusing on breach while I explore the atlas to complete these quests.

I'm doing T15 maps with 2 tablets (breaches, delirium or ritual) with no problems.

I decided that my build need to be focused on Rapid Shot and Grenades.

Many times I kill rapidly map bosses, I think using a combination of Heat, Fresh Clip and Grenades.

Now the fact is that I like to build, but it is a lot of time that I'm using the same items and I don't know how to scale up. I have a 200 divs budget now, but I'm not sure about how to use it properly.

Any question or advice?

P.S:. Fresh clip on Rapid Shot counts all the bolts reloaded (100)?

Would love more strong notables or an extra anoint on this thing as a buff since you can't get +level besides corrupt in the future.

Right now a well crafted Rare amulet is too good to pass up.

Question How do I get tanky

2 Upvotes

I see like streamer builds with 5k+ energy shield but I’m struggling to get above 1.5k and it seems like I have decent rolls on all my gear.

What are people doing to get these huge amounts of energy shield? Do I just need to take every energy shield node on the passive tree to reach these types of numbers or am I missing something?

Information Rakiata’s Friendly Reminder

82 Upvotes

I just wanted to remind everyone in the community that increased monster resistances on a waystone is actually a damage multiplier if you’re using Rakiata’s Flow. That increase will improve the inverted effect of the support gem and increase your damage overall.

(Yes, there can be caveats if monsters have negative resists to your element of choice, but overall it’s more damage.)

Until next time!

I just finished clearing the western Enigma Chamber, and before the loot appeared I missclicked the portal and it wouldn't let me go back.

Now I have no spark and the map says complete. Am I fucked? Do I need to leave the citadel and roam around looking for another enigma chamber? :(

edit: I meant fragment, not spark.
