Path of Exile General /poeg/

redpill me on this before I spend 200c on it

any tips for maximizing gains or do I just buy as many maps as I can afford and run it?

Do sextants matter?

>sextants
>on a map with no monsters

chisel
corrupt
wear bisgos
wear greed's embrace
wear double iiq/iir ventors
more mf gear and shit

enjoy

There are sextants that add crates and stuff

chiseling is not worth it

what happens if three harbingers invade and gangbang on you though

Chisel will not affect drops
Biscos doesn't affect chests
Neither does iir/iiq on characters
You're a retard

>being unable to handle a harbinger in a t3 map
??????
Either way a sextant is a waste

easy fucking (you)'s

you guys should've stopped typing the moment you read biscos

here make fun of it however much you like or suggestions pls

So I'm retarded and I don't understand Elemental Proliferation even after reading the wiki.

What gems should I be putting into something like a Doryani's Catalyst so I can get a benefit from it's proliferation effect?

prolif is total garbage

Anyone here made a MF Windripper character before?
Sounds kinda fun and novel

>Been looking for Xuatl, Cutting Wind for days in a vaal side area.
>Following the wiki but I can't get his dungeon to spawn
I am starting to run out of content to Youtube while i repeatedly run low level areas. I am about to say fuck it and start mapping again.

ignite prolif burning arrow is good.... don't tell anyone...

wrong

go to ravaged square and go back and forth from the reliquary to the place where utahu spawns

you fell for the biscos meme for one thing, it doesn't work in maps

second there's 3 fucking life nodes below MoM you didn't take and you didn't take the nodes behind MoM but you insist on taking life/ES nodes which are worthless compared to the fact you have nearly 400 INT

you really have a hardon for mana reservation when you have fucking MoM too so that's kind of a waste

also you didn't take the 36% ES node at witch start and opted for 2 INT nodes which is dumb when you took Life/ES nodes. (5 at least for written in blood)

you waste a lot of skill points for jewels, 3 for that marauder/scion one is a waste

also I'm sure you'd save more if you had even a level 2 enlighten

also consider dropping 10% curse effectivness for that 1 skill point in wasted curse cast speed

>Along with Sweep, Static Strike is ALSO a skill that actually exists in Path of Exile
Wtf

don't bother trying to help the shitb*rds, they're hopeless

it's like shit skills get swept under a rug or something huh

It does work in maps.

dont you DARE reply to me with your horrific game knowledge EVER AGAIN

thanks. reading this just makes me think my build is a clusterfuck that should be remade from scratch. is my 2 auras 2 curses 100% mana reservation overkill? feels like i am wasting a lot of shit just to be able to have that

>tfw having more fun playing a gacha mobage of my wife than poe

what happened poetards

How come GGG doesn't rebalance them

What do you think it is like inside Kitava?

because they'd rather design MTX, shit updates, shit league mechanics and new meta FOTM skills

>why
because NEW BLADE [SKILL] attracts players rather than

>Glacial Cascade 33% damage increased
in a patch note

>why
new skill youtube showcase

GGG is also retarded

it doesn't and even if it did who cares it's getting nerfed next league , if you haven't quit by now you're a lost cause

The item does work in maps.

map item quantity is only affected by map mods and fragments RETARD

biscos works in maps lmao why are we trying to make this into a meme

You originally stated in "it doesn't work in maps" where the item does work in maps.

stop using biscos

someone just test biscos on a white map already and compare fug

A lake's worth of fish and water

...

Thanks

you mean to say biscos does not affect maps drop rate

TLDR Biscos
>works on
>currency
>div cards
>six sockets
>random trash items

>does not work on
>map drops (ONLY affected by map mods, fragments etc)
>breach splinters
>harbinger shards

Who is this dog and why should I not fall for it?

>tfw you click wrong and abandon a daily
epic, simply le epic

are there any good sword/board or just shield builds in this game? i liked thorns/reflect in diablo but what ive seen thus far in poe doesn't lead me to think you can do anything similar

even shield/wand memes i'd be okay with but in that case i'd assume you end up going heavily into some sort of spell meme rather than reflecting and utilizing a shield - like that SR fire circle inquisitor build

You gain brouzouf.
You gain brouzouf.
My legs are OK!

no

Should I be concerning myself with shock effectiveness on the tree? Would it be a bad idea for auras to give effectiveness/duration /damage for their respective elements?

no because GGG doesnt want you to use any elemental ailments

>Shock effectiveness
Nah, the numbers are too low to be worth it
>Auras giving effectiveness to their respective elements
It's a nice thought but they're already extremely powerful. The only one I could see is maybe a 15-25% More Burning Damage on Anger. Maybe a utility aura that gives all 3.

>Nah, the numbers are too low to be worth it

retard

they'll never fix templar to have a phys/ele ascendancy or witch being a shit ascendancy will they

Why aren't you investing in Chin Sol and Tinkerskin futures RIGHT NOW?!!!!!!!!????

because trying to make a good skill tree for trappers is fucking aids

>witch
>shit ascendancy
hmmmmmm

elementalist
whatever

>elementalist
>shit ascendancy
hmmmmmmmm........

If Biscos was changed to 0-50 IIQ and 25-75 IIR, would it still be worth using?

oh thats a start at least, thanks

funny that the character i am doing right now is actually a copy of alkaizers cleave character

i have really struggled to find builds in this game that i actually like compared to diablo - most seem to just be some variation of aoe vomit all over the screen, or worse, the disgusting pet skills that exist in this game where you either have to resumon shit all the time or literally go hunting the map to catch your temporary pokemon to use

its weird how much better this game is than diablo in so many different aspects but then you have these weird things which just feel like shit

lolno

it is though

There's 45% increased shock effect in the tree, under perfect conditions that's 50 -> 72.5% more damage from shock. Most of the time you won't be doing 5-10% of a boss's health each hit, particularly with how inconsistent lightning damage is in general so you'll probably end up only getting a few extra added % from the passives. Speccing directly into lightning damage will achieve much the same effect, both with more base damage and with stronger shocks.

Over the past week the 6L chest I needed went up in price by 100c

Is there any good and stable way to grind currency?

don't be retarded

ayy

>see cool BotW
>wow I want to make that, that looks fun.
>buy up the uniques and shit I'll need
>realize I need at least 6 link
yeah
uh
nah
maybe not

Guess what's in the patch notes for next league.

DELETE

>the most experienced mfer of poe explained in details backed up by math and his extensive knowledge about mf and personal experience why biscos is a noob trap
>you still fell for it

You keep posting this, can you please post the guy's post/video explaining it?
I am legit interested in the numbers, and I tried looking but found nothing other than the break-down that shows it doesn't change the drop rate of maps themselves, just currency/6 socket/ect.

I've made more money reselling biscos idgaf
good meme, good shit, high resell value

Grind more.

>still can't post any links of this

delet this right fucking now

Buy the chest and link it yourself

left: dumb crowcuck poegposter who spent all his savings on a biscos
right: smart mancore animeposter explaining why biscos is not worth it

It's treating us well today.
Didn't get The Doctor but at least a Kaom's Heart (38%) in there.

this isn't even funny ur just sad

How I'd fix PoE
>expand flask affixes -> rare flasks now exist as well
>increase flask bases, % life flask now top tier instead of divine/whatever the other one is
>% mana and hybrid as well
>bosses now have a lot more adds so flasks aren't fucking cucked
>berserker is phys only leech and more
>vp deleted, acuity still exists
>elementalist reworked
>inquisitor reworked into phys/ele weapon ascendancy not this betterthanwitch/assassin crit elemental bullshit
>buff chieftain
>rework ranger to not be trash
>rework skill tree cause scion life tax nodes are dumb as fuck
>actually balance life nodes so there's some on the right side of the tree and no more 4% nodes cause they're dumb as fuck
>add 33% increased damage to all skills under X usage because GGG is too shit to do anything
>multiply % of all uniques based on their usage from 1-2 multipliers, lowest used uniques get 2x buff, normal shit like kaoms nothing
>affix tiers are now weighted to be higher for higher ilvl shit instead of 'being possible to roll' - no more tier8 stat/resistance bullshit
>increased movespeed higher on boots

there hire me ggg

Run 50 maps (200 ish c at most expensive*- 150 at least expensive if you use poeapp.com)

report returns if possible

I will try and research Oba sometimes soon

MF is not needed, bisco is useful for harbingers though

anything elementalist does inquisitor/zerker does better

Eh, you rather go CA if you want a pure MF, or even better EDC, there are MF guides for both, 300iiq with CA, 200 ish iiq with edc

Both capable of running up to t16 with very fast clears (3 min slowest runs) we're talking alched/even corrupted/sexted maps, for EDC the more the better

Not a boss killer but you get as much as 150-200c an hour from currency drops only (everything in filter but currency turned off)

but templar smellyballs oldfag and we wuz kaomz slaveshitters are the most disgusting characters to pick.
If i want to take advantage of their ascendencies i go Scion, thank you.

it's shit

I guess this is the list of unusable trash tier skills right? Vaal Power siphon is the best clearspeed skill in the game tho.

but that just sounds retarded. how does it regenerate, did they just pick some arbitrary numbers to decide how fast it regenerates? pretty sure it didn't work like that in diablo 2

>Vaal Power siphon is the best clearspeed skill in the game tho.
Gee, good thing I didn't list that one!
