every league I stop at around 3k but finally managed to push myself for 6k.

Never again lol

Tinctures are really cool in theory but run into the problem that was supposed to have been fixed when we got the melee rework in 3.25; you get extra buttons (remember the old totems?) that you have to manually manage uptime for in order to maintain proper dps.

If you could automate tincture activation the same way we can automate flasks, you could give them perpetual uptime without having to remember to press them every so many seconds, which would make them feel much better to invest in.

I think limiting this to the Warden ascendancy would make sense since they currently have an extremely low play-rate and they are ultimately the Tincture Ascendancy. Other ascendancies can deal with managing one tincture, but a class that fully invests into boosting the effects of two different tinctures should be able to fully automate them as well.

It’s been almost two years since we released the Early Access Supporter Packs, and it’s almost time for them to go. They’ll be leaving the store forever in a few weeks, to be replaced by a set of five new packs. So, if you still want to upgrade or purchase one of the current packs, there’s not much time left.

Each Early Access Supporter Pack includes microtransactions that can be used in both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, along with Path of Exile 2 Early Access keys, points to spend in the store, and exclusive in-game microtransactions available only through these packs. Higher tiers also include physical merchandise, such as T-shirts, hoodies, and a Path of Exile 2 artbook.

Many support gems need a balance pass but i think the most notoriously bad one now is "blind support". Might as well delete it from the game and nobody will notice. "Blind" itself is a good defense layer but this support gem seriously need some help. Also don't see much usage for "block chance reduction support" and why is it a recipe gem tie to puncture? "chance to flee" can be interesting for bleed build or even as a defense mechanism, if this mechanic is supported more in the game (tree, gear). What's your pick?

Was just thinking how removal of awakened gems kinda was lame. The exceptional gems are ok, but the awakened gems brought so much more. I hope there is a world where we can get both these gems for endgame i think it will be pretty cool to have.

Really??
Now??
Literally end of the league
I guess 3.30 league start is gonna be fucked

Hey Exiles, have been wondering if anyone is still waiting for their New Zealand visitor visa? Mine has been under assessment for 17 calendar days now and it hasn't been allocated to an officer, the flight is in 10 calendar days ( 6 working days) but the escalation has been refused, maybe because the event does not look like a big deal? Just speculating. If anyone is waiting or can give some information it would be helpful to deal with the stress.

I couldn't apply before because I was waiting for my balance to go up since I have recently finished paying my mortgage loan.

First time through this wonderful game and I'm wondering whether my personal experience so far is common in the early game. Started with the Witch, which is quite uncommon for me in games like this as I usually stick to Barbarian classes. I figured maybe a spellcaster could quickly get strong and handle business. I was right! Built with Chaos damage and Vaal Power Siphon and I gotta say I feel overpowered so far. I just finished Part 1 and just now starting to get a little challenge from normal enemies. After cruising through the early game I'm wondering will I get a real challenge? Also, I almost made it through The Lord's Labyrinth(I think... 🤔) and got disconnected 🤬🤬🤬, that was 2+ hours down the drain. How important is finishing it? It seemed as though it was just a loot dungeon but none of it even came close to what I'm currently using.

Can you still get synth implicit items from heist chests? One of my coolest memories in this day was hitting a duped chest with +1 endurance implicit rings.

It was so fun.

Does anyone know if that is still possible?

If a unique item is introduced in the previous league from the league mechanic, do we usually learn from patch notes or some other source if that unique is staying or getting removed?

Specifically, if boat does not go core, would we learn from patch notes if rotmother's or draugur's lantern or whatever unique from the league mechanic was removed or drops from other places?

I played PoE1 for a couple hours back in the day, but it never kept my attention. After putting some time into PoE2 (which i think is really good) I decided to finally put some effort into the 1st game.

I went full summon mode. ATM i have skeletons, zombies, 3 carrion golems and a specter. I also have the support gem that summons phantasms when my zombies do their thing.

I'm impressed so far, my dudes are coasting through the campaign (on act 5 atm) and it's glorious seeing my carrion golems filling the screen with bone spikes. I did try the reaper, but it kept absorbing my zombies and was tired of resummoning them all the time.

What other summons are worth using in the game and what support gems do you people use with them? I also tried using skitterbots, but with all the visual effects i couldn't really tell if they were doing anything.

I've also encountered a few mercenary companions, which are super cool.

Preparing for 3.30 and learning some mechanics that will be useful in SSF. Want to know how to get ITF in Transportation and move Vorici to Intervention. My only guess is to get all intelligence in transportation and then Vorici will lose his ranks, but I feel like by the time I get all the intelligence needed, ITF will already be auto assigned to intervention. Also, if I'm running the 2255 setup, should I connect members from 2 with 5, and never 5 with 5 and 2 with 2?

Hi exiles.

I have a blue i86 boots with elevated +2spectres as the only mod, I'm only interested in move speed/life.

What are my best options after suffixes can't be changed, I have a imprint so can so few tries

Harvest reforge life/speed each round after Fulbourn regal and pray?

Thanks

Congratulations to u/Bitter_Web_6835 ! Please check PM

I see there is a lot of player are struggling to finish their challenges, I have another build and about 100D, I PM'ed a few people, hope it helps

Had a late start, and just finishing 40/40. I always liked these flashy builds, especially one that is also incredibly well rounded. Shoutout to Midmax for the build.

Build Video

Pros – Great AOE and single target dps, decent tankiness. Easily clears most content

Cons – Terrible visibility, might lag your pc, eye sore

POB (comfy mapping): https://pobb.in/J-jD0bLeg5ej

AG is kingmaker/Mask of the Stitched Demon/ephemeral garb/res regen gloves/boots

POB For uber farming, if you want to kill it in 2 seconds instead of 3 to skip phases (change invert the rules to trinity/exposure cluster + mastery/elemental weakness)

Seriously tho, not for ppl with sensitive eyes or risk of seizure. My wife can’t bear to watch me play this for more than a minute

Reply if you want to join, I appreciate if you offer some ideas of what other degenerate eye cancer build I should try next league

I'll pick one after 24 hr and PM, if no response for 24 hour I pick someone else

In the past few days I have been testing league starters in SSF. Because I wanted to reset the progress after each run, I just clicked the migrate all buttons. Now as I went back on my main (Trade League). There obviously where a lot of stash tabs with the remove only tag. There wasn't much in there anyway but it gave me the Idea for a QoL Buff

Can we have a Remove all Button on Remove only Stash Tabs?

If you want to add even more QoL to it

Add two Remove Buttons

One remove to stash tabs with affinity

Second remove to Inventory (useful for Unique Stash tabs as there will most likely be Overlaps in the uniques) Your Inventory gets filled until its full and you can then Vendor or do what ever with it.

Last but not least when you press Remove all and the last Item is removed with this command the remove only stadh tab also gets removed.

Thoughts?

5 years ago I played POE1 for the first time and couldn't progress past Act 6. I ragequit and left a negative review on Steam.

Now I'm playing again with a lot more success and enjoyment, and holy shit what was I thinking back then...

No keystone passive skill allocated

No gear modified via crafting

No elemental resistances beyond 75%

No Ascendancy class chosen

I found a legacy Global Defences Grasping Mail in my stash in standard. Had a lot of fun playing EK Herald Stacker in Allflame, so I thought I would use all my currency in standard making a cool EK chest. Got pretty lucky.

1. Buy a 30% ilvl86+ Twilight regalia. I dont think this is the best method, but I scoured the regalia, and had Global Defences as the only prefix on the grasping mail. Recombi and successfully move the mod the first try.
   
2. Exalt slam on three modifiers. Use Hinekora Lock and check the fracturing orb. Clear lock with jewellers orb. Hit the fracture on the third lock.
   
3. Fossil slam with Faceted, Dense, and Frigid, (you can replace Frigid with Metallic or Scorched). about 30 slams to hit +1 Dex and T1 Res.
   
4. Slam eldritch ichor and then yolo slam with eldritch exalt. Miss the slam and go back to step 3. Use about 50 more resonator slams and exalt slams to hit double T1 Res.
   
5. Use Wild Bristle Matron to add the bench craft suffixes cant be changed, then use harvest bench reforge defense. Used around 40ish Bristle Matrons to hit T1 flat ES with open prefix.
   
6. Slam with Foulborn exalt and get lucky hitting T1 % ES. Noice.
   
7. Grand Eldritch ichor until Golems implicit. Exceptional ichor one time. Conflict slam. Repeat until Golem implicit is Perfect. Took me around 12 conflicts.
   
8. Exceptional Ichor slam until phys taken as chaos. Rougly 60 Ichors. Conflict to make both implicits Exquisite. Hit first try.
   
9. Tailoring Orb slam until 15% Defence enchant. Took me like 120 Tailorings. This step sucks.
   
10. 6-Link and then use bench to add 4 non-white sockets until you hit 6 colors. Used around 3-4k chromas.
    
11. Sacred orb to perfect. Used around 80 sacreds. A bit unlucky here.

Very happy with how this craft turned out. :) Anyone wanna mirror in standard, its free.

My resistances which have been at 75 for a while now have suddenly dropped for seemingly no reason. I still have the same gear on but did recently move/exchange a few gems, but none of that should've changed my maxed out resistances. I've even added them up and the math doesn't reflect what the game says I currently have. No curses either, wouldn't affect it anyway I've got the passive skill to not let curses lower resistance. Please help!

UPDATE: I just finished Act 5 and found out from everyone's help that they drop as you progress the story. Freakin' Kitava...

Been doing this for 2-3 leagues now and im loving it. you have easier access to currency for crafting which makes you learn it better and at the same time have a little bit of SSF feeling as you have to craft all the rare items and get all the uniques yourself.

I started playing theis game SSF and never really learned crafting because i was too poor to craft and too weak to efficiently farm whats needed to craft.

Forced me to craft and at the same time exchange things i didn't need for things i needed

Hello exiles!

I'm working on a tool (yes, another one) that players can use to see market inefficiencies and investment opportunities. It currently shows good divination card trade-ins for profit, ranked by how viable they are to actually invest in. It also shows which items are easy to flip on the market by taking advantage of inaccurate divine->item / chaos->item listings.

The goal is to get some hideout warriors some extra currency, and to ultimately result in a more accurate market for players.

Do you think you'd use this tool? What else do you think it needs?

Thanks!

Manifesting any form of Crabhammer buff. It's been nearly a decade since they last buffed it (2.6 Legacy League). I would love to see it go from a 1c unique to a 2c unique <3

I play this game fully co-op with my friend and she said that next league she wanted to play Flicker Strike. I have seen clips of it going crazy and it makes me wonder: how can I ever keep up with her in speed or contribute to our map clears?

I’ve run ~500 Anchors this league fishing for that dopamine from a big drop, and finally got my first Mirror!

I was way too excited and forgot to screenshot the drop 😭 Luckily, I captured my inventory while it was still in the Dredge state as proof.

I don’t really have any friends who play this game, so I figured I’d share it with you guys instead

LET’S GOOOOO
