New to the game, at merveil in cruel right now, doing okay DPS
Im using >glacial cascade with added lightning and spell echo >chaos golem because why not >frost bomb for vuln to cold >spell totem with freezing pulse >clarity and discipline
Dont really know where to take this now, or how to get any good gear at all. literally everything that drops is for str/dex, and when I do get something for my witch to drop, its still a level 6 item. Ive been using the same shield since level 20.

Are you on hardcore?
you have literally no life nodes, and a pitiful amount of ES nodes
and you can't even go ES decently until level 70 or so, because all the gear is shit
fingers of frost is a piece of shit cluster, don't bother getting it.
you have too many dps nodes, and you're just dealing "ok" dps? you are definately doing something wrong
also, don't go crit right away. most people just play non-crit and then spec into it after they have several clusters available and gear for it
if you try to level with crit, the damage gets really jittery and unreliable
Jeremiah Sanders
Do I need something single target for BL or would like Vaal Spark do fine on its own?
Kayden Russell
I see people melting literally any boss they want in 2 seconds or less with their setups. granted, thats maxed gear and max level tiptop builds.
Id have to reason that I could take down a unique enemy within 10 seconds at most, rares kinda just fall immediately.Granted I am 4 levels above the area I'm currently in. Brutus died in 4 seconds.
I was under the impression I could make a freeze build where I can almost perma-freeze anything, will this not be the case?
Which life/ES nodes should I go for if Im planning on going CI later in the game?
Thomas Smith
you need both an alt single target and miltitarget skill if you build BL
Camden Hill
>I was under the impression I could make a freeze build where I can almost perma-freeze anything
thats a lot easier to pull off as a whispering ice build
Luis Walker
Well what single target is good for BL? Also why another multi?
Ethan Kelly
Do softcore players still come here?
Mason Edwards
Open 2 black jew boxes + 1 free
2 scorpions and a tiny ass spider
why do i do this to myself.
David Martin
they are the majority
Thomas Nelson
wow I haven't played this game in 3 years and after so many updates the automap still looks like shit
I thought this was something they were working on

What's easier to get through normal quickly? 1h/shield marauder or 2h marauder? dual wield is for fags. bow is also for fags.
Brayden Richardson
2h more dmg, and you're fucking marauder, nothing in normal can kill you.
Normally.

Guys whata good optimal cwdt set up for hardcore? Im currently using molten shell
Oliver Bailey
I'm shit at the game but I'm using
CWDT - IC - Increased Duration - Molten Shell
Works okay, it usually depends on the build.
Juan Hall
Does the molten shell proc at the same time with IC? How do you gain the endurance charges for IC?
Adrian Gray
I think so.
You don't. Or you manually cast EC. IC + Increased Duration is usually enough once you put around 9 levels into CWDT.
Nicholas Brooks
how about we all just stop posting until the next shit league comes out?
Evan Bailey
ok
Luke Torres
A little better now
Carter Ortiz
good morning poetards
Brandon Gonzalez
fuck off
Ayden Nguyen
Does Static Strike double-dip from bonus lightning damage?
Tyler Foster
gg, izaro on last phase was fucking insane, not to mention the 50 skellies he spawned every 5 seconds would drop to me to single digit fps
very fun to have a close boss fight like that without the possibility to log out
3rd scion, only took 5 more hours than rank 1 lol
Jack Carter

Wyatt Peterson
how'd you do that?!

Anybody tried using a Scaeva for an Assasin crit build? Seems to be a great fit desu.
Gavin Harris
even binos is better than that garbage
Christopher Stewart
B-but I want to use lacerate
Brayden Ward
lacerate is fucking trash go reave or go home
Michael Baker
Just finished my fakener build and now I'm thinking about abusing the shit out of EQ before voidheart gets nerfed or impossible to acquire next league. Should I pick Juggernaut for endurance charge madness or Slayer for DPS? I'm playing softcore.
Juan Johnson
slayer is better overall unless you plan to dedicate your character to farming uber lab abusing immortal call + juggernaut
John Parker
>softcore Stopped reading there.
Samuel Lewis
Juggernaut will likely get nerfed next league too, so I'd say try before it's gone.
Wyatt Jenkins
why would jugg get nerfed?
Josiah Gutierrez
Juggernaut is a lot less annoying to play. Unstoppable removes a lot of the annoyances you run into while mapping, with 0 to max endurance charges allowing you to recover from CWDT IC procs and nullifier hits instantly.
Zachary Williams
is Path of Exile only for autismos?
will I ever see reasonable success by playing for maybe an hour a day or so after work?
Easton Allen
> an hour or so per day
i don't think you can get anywhere in any game with that amount of time spent, kid.
Julian Martinez
Apparently the class makes uberlab too easy or something.
Elijah Scott
That's mostly immortal call lasting too long with 8+ endurance charges. Juggernaut does facilitate this by being able to get back to max endurance charges with one enduring cry.
Leo Edwards
the problem with jugg and uber is it is just phys mitigation. it is really easy to run thru traps with 8ec and ic, but you will get 1-2shot depending on the buffs of izaro . a 4ec high regen ranger is easier , or bf mines.
Juan Sanders
A league lasts 3 months. You can reach merc Dried Lake in 6 hours. Assuming 5-10 mins per map, you can run 6 maps per day.
If by success you mean lv 90+ HC with 10-20ex bank (not counting your own gear) then yeah it's doable.
Hudson Clark
Any beginner advice? Especially for the talent tree and currency items.
Gabriel Long
Do summoner builds lag a lot on slow machines compared to other builds?
Daniel Sanders
Check PoE forums for a budget build. Play softcore. Orbs are currency, chaos orbs and exalted orbs are typically used when trading items, check poe.trade for prices.
Nicholas Hill
Yeah I meant as far as acquireing orbs go. There are a long of silly trader recipes (like normal, magic, rare of the same base item) to get orbs and I wondered if it's worth bothering with as a new player, or if that's more for farming when you are high level already.
Adam Hughes
The chaos recipe is always good imo, especially in the beginning as it makes getting off the ground alot easier. Once you start getting decent items trading is the way to get rich.
Owen Jones
Depends on the kind of summoner.
Hybrid summoners, with both raging spririts and spectres, might. It definitely will if you start using Victario's Charity, as charges being generated by 50+ minions will cause lag, especially if you run up against an allies cannot die rare.
Classical summoners, with only spectres, wont lag much at all.
Charles Wilson
important recipes for early game to early late game: >chromatic recipe (3 linked sockets of different color, very common, only viable early and mid game) >chaos/regal recipe >lvl 20 gem+gemcutter's prism (gcp) -> lvl 1 20% quality gem >6 socket item -> 7 jeweller >6 link item -> divine orb (only ever worth with corrupted items nobody wants) >3 maps of the same type -> 1 map from tier above
not that important but still useful: >20% quality gem OR gems with combined 40% quality ->1 gcp >20% quality flask OR flasks with combined 40% quality -> 1 bauble
Might have missed something.
Sometimes it makes sense to buy currency items directly from the vendors but make sure to check currency.poe.trade to see if it's really worthwhile. For instance it makes sense to buy fusings for 4 jewellers from the vendor as it's basically the market price and fusings are a lot easier to sell. Masters in your hideout offer an even better exchange rate for some of the vendor currency trades once a day after completing the daily mission for a fixed amount of currency.
Kayden Reyes
Pick an easy build (2h RT Marauder, non-crit spell Witch, totem/trap). Follow the life nodes.
Best recipes are
>chrome (gear with R-G-B linked) >jews (gear with 6 sockets) >chaos recipe (a set of rare gear with ilvl 59 < x < 75) >regal recipe (a set of rare gear with ilvl x > 74) >gcp (a bunch gems with a total of at least 40%q or a single one with 20%q) >chisel (20%q stone hammer/rock breaker/gavel + map)
Bentley Smith
did no one participate in the izaro race
Christian Walker
>Once you start getting decent items trading is the way to get rich. I'm going to get so ripped off.
Thanks, but that said I'm unfamiliar with masters yet. The furthest I got was level 40 a bunch of expansions ago.
Life nodes? Survivability is king or what? Or does most of the damage come from gear anyway?
So it's good to keep rares you don't need for those recipes I guess.
Dylan Perez
nice work user, that's quite a slog
Joshua Rivera
>Survivability is king or what?
A dead character does 0 damage.
Benjamin Martinez
I guess. Benio worst girl.
Leo Nelson
an ordinary racer an ordinary rip marked by an extraordinary butthurt
instead of dying to desync you die to lag spikes and server crashes
Ayden Barnes
they need to give all classes important gems like immortal call, increased duration, warlords mark, etc
Dominic Gomez
no, because class identity
Isaiah Taylor
ah yes because being forced to trade for mandatory skill gems that aren't worth more than an alch is compelling gameplay
Thomas Anderson
inb4 some stupid shitcrow comes in and says a cwdt setup and leech aren't a necessity
Ian Wright
>relying on warlord's for leech hello softcore
Jordan Ross

el em ay oh
Matthew Harris
got one marauder to level 11 lmao
Colton Jenkins
agree to disagree not everyone thinks 95% of gems available through vendors was a good move in the first place
Alexander Murphy
>add gem vendors >ignore the most important ones
it's just another example of GGG's half-assed retarded game design
Landon Stewart
>if it doesn't fit my casualized ideal of the game, it's bad design
Liam Rogers
>he's got the idea i supported gem vendors in the first place >he's dancing around the abject reality that they'll be removed >his entire argument is based upon a strawman and he doesn't even realize it
Hunter Gray
>i don't support vendor gems but only those that i need on my build hypocrisy at its finest
Chase Ramirez
they're never going to remove gem vendors so they might as well just give every class cwdt and curse gems
Jose Peterson
entitled casualcore mentality that already ruined the game enough
