thx GGG

can you respond to this fucking catposting retard?

BRING UP THE SERVERS NOW REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So my buddy found out the hard way that Solaris' cheese grater attack can crit. 2.6k life gone instantly.

so are life builds actually viable now?

When can i get caustic arrow as a witch?

is there any point to killing the final boss of act 10?
People were saying that killing him was needed for mapping.
im at act 8 pls halp

>brushing teeth when you wake up instead of when going to sleep
what are you a nigger or something

Thinking about going static strike or molten strike with my dw scion.
Can this shit be viable?

library, or buy it at level 2 on a ranger

so what was the shard exploit they are patching right now?
was it another master bench dupe?
i mean the last time where you could dupe exalts in benches was bad enough. not to mention the first time around they couldnt detect it.

i fucking hate it when i'm having a good time with my off the wall build and everyone makes it abundantly clear I should be using sunder instead

act 3, do library quest, buy from siosa

You NEED to kill Kitava to Map. Even if you've never been to A10, you can figure this out simply:
>Beta testers who hadn't cleared A8 were told to go clear A10 (unchanged for launch except the requirement moved to end of A10)
>Your Resists until you finish A10 are -30% instead of -60%

wrong

YOU LIL SHIT I'M ON EDGE AS IT IS I LIKE THE FRESH FEELY FEEL IN THE MORNING ALRIGHT LAY OFF MY FUCKING TEETH

lvl 2 as in act 2?

pretty sure I've bought poison arrow in act 1 before

fart arrow as scion, witch or shadow?

Is the DoT part of Vortex affected by the 'more dmg when cast on frostbolt' or only the initial explosion?

yes, you must complete story mode before you can map.

Some people have theorycrafted a Soul Mantle totem build since she can become immune to curse effects with Guardian and 2x Kikazaru. Guardian can too, but the rest of his ascendancy doesn't really lend itself to a totem build.

Soul Mantle would be a 7L and you can spam totems without worrying about removing curses. Pretty gimmicky, but I can't think of anything else she straight up does better than other ascendancies right now. She's decent for chaos DoT builds with Occultist+Trickster at least.

>Not brushing when going to sleep and after waking up
discusting

>1.x builds
Balanced offensive setups, with scaling for multiple sources to never pigeonhole the player
>2.x builds
hurrr double dip bro!!1!1
>3..x builds
hurt half a dozen more multipliers bro!1!!!1

>emergency patch
nice
real smooth GGG

Fuck me, i am actually in the process of losing my front teeths, when this finally happens ill probably an hero.

More damage is generic so it should affect everything, including the DoT

>Alira is garbage since crits were nerfed
>Oak is fucking nothing
>2 passive points is ok, nothing special
>Kraityn is +6% movespeed
What a dumb choice. 99% of the time you take Kraityn now.

Can someone copy paste the patch notes? The forums are shitting themselves.

would you rather they leave in the 40ex/hr exploit for a bit longer?

There's no fucking point in brushing them right before drinking a coffee. If you're at home, brush them after the morning coffee you moron.

scion occultist/deadeye?

the patcher is all fucked up

got it senpai
let's see if I'll make it to maps before falling asleep because
>fart arrow

kikazaru is such a retarded waste of ring slots and gives no hp, when you can just get warding flasks

Scion is a nice totem building class though, can max out power charges for free by choosing Hierophant, which also gives the extra totem

Steam is always the safe bet. They get fucked in some situations, but they usually pull through.

>Using channelled lightning skills will no longer trigger Orb of Storms.
>Fixed a bug where the following items, which are meant to grant extra minions, instead granted small increases to skeleton attack, cast and movement speed: Queen's Decree, Alberon's Warpath, Midnight Bargain and any items with Catarina's crafted +1 skeleton mod.
>Fixed a bug with the Soul of Solaris Pantheon Power, which accidentally applied to every hit rather than 20% of them.
>Fixed an instance crash that could occur when players enter new areas with The Plaguemaw V Prophecy.
>Fixed an issue with the The Act 9 Boss fight where the boss would prioritise minions over players.
>Fixed a bug with the "Defeat Map Bosses" Harbinger Challenge where non-map bosses would count.
>Fixed a client crash that could occur in parties with one of the encounters in The Rotting Core.
>Fixed a client crash that could occur with the life flask tutorial.
>Fixed an instance crash related to Storm Burst.

so... cwdt+golem doesn't work anymore?

What are the tier 0-1 skills with less than 20-50 exalts of gear like Animate Weapon, that have tier 0 aoe and tier 1 single target

well no, I guess
especially since this is the first I've heard of it

how did it work?

I don't get this; wtf did they do in beta if not test for shit like this

>What are things that require a settled Meta?
Charged Dash.

how much money did he make tonight?

Thanks

Well the implicit benefit is that you can run any map mod that curse you without caring, you can't remove those curses with a flask. Kikazaru gives fat life and mana regen which is pretty good with the current life MoM meta. But yeah, it's still a gimmicky build.

probably not much because the sale was delayed

why is the poe smoother guy paywalling his shit ~__~

who cares nerd

>FREE

It still does, check your gem level reqs

>Charged Dash

Source or you're full of shit

So GGG can't as easily crack his shit and ban people detected as using it. Each version has a unique identifier now, so in the event it gets broken again, he'll know exactly who leaked.

It is too late to learn the game?

is it me or is a5 fucking GIGANTIC? each area is like 5 times bigger than the ones in a1-a3

?
its been paywalled for a while now

They've never banned for using it before
Or broken it deliberately.

navigating the area right after slave pens makes me want to fucking kill myself

What do I need to do to prepare for a5 so I don't get one-shot by the final boss? or any bosses in a5 for that matter, just cap resistances?

its the laziest act, just huge areas instead of interesting shit

guess the bosses are cool but the rest not so much

nah, pick up a build guide form each type of skill(melee/cast,etc) this should give you a basic understanding of the game mechanics and then youll be able to start building your own shit builds in softcore like a real pro

Control Block and Sanctum of Innocence or whatever are way too fucking big. They feel like hub areas in Torchlight 2, which were way too fucking big, but at least had stuff to do all over unlike these same-faced messes.

instant life flasks and 75 all res

Same with acts 6-8 (haven't played 9-10 yet).
Areas are absolutely monstrous in size.

A5 opening, Lightning Res. Bulk of A5, Fire Res. Rest is Phys.
>About to get into A6
>Already getting flashbacks to Kaom's Dream
Please no.

i did this last league with a guardian
you don't have to worry about overcapping resists either
but you give up a lot of item slots

>the beacon
>its like the size of four beach maps sewn together
>and then the fucking escort the gas shit

>call it a melee skill
>it's a ranged projectile
explain this, poetards

You can actually make a decent ahns heritage ascendant by dual wielding, using a pacifism jewel, and taking raider assassin for permanent onslaught and additional base crit.
Attack of choice is lacerate.

If I weren't busy at work I'd be making a cyclone raider tree for that new cold axe. With ice bite it could be quite strong.

glacial hammer + melee splash
or
frost blades

using duelist

I love how the shop's newly added button shows off all the new MTX they spent time modelling instead of finishing the backlog of Unique items that need 3D art.
And said new items aren't even for sale yet.

WAIT WHAT A POE EXPANSION!? WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS
WHAT DID THEY DO!?

cut cruel and merciless
added 6 new acts

that's basically it really

I didn't even know steam counted this high

Friends made me play HC for my first time and I'm on the start of act4, what level should I get before I start questing?

same thing happened here
gggs file system is some 90s shit

Overlevel each zone by 5 levels

WHO FULL CLEAR ACTS HERE?

I've heard steam backups files being updated, but PoE has like ONE MASSIVE FILE so it basically duplicates the whole game every update. Stupid shit

What are the dp zerkers here leveling with - sunder or warchief?

also what are the best sunder supports? preferably in order

Multistrike conc meleephys

Both.
General Sunder is Melee Phys, Multistrike, Faster Attacks. 5th link if you need it is Culling or Conc.

so what's the verdict on bleed now that people have gotten to toy with it

Thanks friends

Objectively awful.

Why the fuck would they add 3d models to shit no one uses ever?

>Skin transfers

>alt art carcass jack just got 3D art
perfect for all 50 owners who probably never even see it since they don't play standard

there's an mtx consumable that allows you to apply an items appearance to another item

>cyclone raider
It's obviously a Guardian weapon you utter imbecile.

retard

>New cold axe

thanks

its flat cold not conversion, its vendor trash

Those of you who have tried storm burst, how is it so far?

Awful.

oh fuck you, I tab out for a moment to continue watching glorious MRE reviews videos, and get greeted with a "operation timeout" something and a waypoint I picked up is missing

GiGiGi on a killingspree today

Is there a site that has the new ways to do the normal/cruel/merc labs?

What are the top melee ranger builds, and are they just memes? Like - would it be better to just go duelist or shadow instead or are they actually good?
