Path of Exile General /poeg/

Malachai was a better final boss than Kitava tbqhwyf

>malachai got demoted to a t13 map
>t15s are garbage like the meme spider and that fat fuck who spends more time outside of the boss arena than in it

Yeah, Kitava is also all over the place in terms of difficulty. I had runs with almost no deaths throughout the entire story, even the Labyrinths, and then Kitava would just completely destroy me. Since then I alaways level up before I enter so I wont lose any progress.
I blame the tiny arena and the limited movement. And that he can be outside of camera range so you cant even see him telegraphing his attacks.

I've tried looking online but to no avail. How do I actually get maps that will drop Shaper's Memories to spawn?

Elder needs to capture a map that the Shaper was controlling.

So what is going to be nerfed into the dirt in 3.2 besides sextants?

Poet Pens?
Sunder?
Bleed?
VD
ED

Everything.

yes
no
god no
probably
nah

slayer cull
slayer leech
inquisitor ele pen
glacial cascade double dipping

So the shaper controls a map and what do I do? Just do elder maps until it randomly moves to shaper?

No. Wait for Shaper to influence a map next to Elder and then do that one. If it's eligible for a Memory Fragment (first 10 are just tiers 6-15 in general), one will appear, then you run the map again while it's under the influence of Elder.

>Elder OHK you after you kill him
WHO THE FUCK APPROVE THIS ABOMINATION OF DESIGN? EVEN FUCKING 12 YEAR OLDS MAKING GAME IN GAMEMAKER CAN COME UP WITH BETTER THINGS

What should I do if no Elder map and Shaper map are near each other?

I also appreciate your help user.

keep doing maps. Elder will advance outwards, or Shaper will.

I've had a lot of fun this league just being casual and MF low maps and my sextanted shaped t10 and selling all my chisels and shit to tryhards. the xp grind is really boring to me now

shield charge
spectres
maybe pen but I'm less convinced than I was before
abyssal jewels

holy fuck have abyssal jewels got to go

It will happen without fail because the Shaper attempts to limit the Elder's outward growth.

So in general:

Don't do shaper/elder maps until they're next to each other, then do the shaper map?

I currently have 8 of the memory fragments, but I just wasn't even sure how I was getting them, I was doing it randomly. Do I need to have the shaper on a certain map?

Yes, I know my map isn't set up for vault stuff. Sorry.

R8

I just got a belly and upgraded my gear pieces with even more life. However I'm worried about having less armor, though it seems that doesn't matter much

Still way less health than I'm comfortable with even though I respecced to grab life nodes

Only Vaultists care about Vault, it's fine.
But yes. If you have the first 8, that means you'll need Elder to take a Shaper-influenced T14.

If I just keep doing maps will that Elder part move over to a tier 14, or do I need to do that elder map?

It'll move on its own over time. You could technically just ignore Elder and Shaper and they'll show up eventually.

Alright, thanks user. I have a lot of red-tier maps, and I'll just grind away at those for a while.

I appreciate it. For some reason there is very little War of the Atlas stuff on the web.

It's cause War dropped right when Gamepedia (the wiki PoE uses) completely shit the bed across all portals. As of today, it's officially working at almost full capacity again, but it's gonna take awhile before the Wiki editors get to what they do best.

if im trying to do a FB build with this do i benefit more from crafting AS or crit multi?

>Facebreaker
>SWORD
You literally can't benefit from it.

Well, this was quick. now I just have to do the Dig map?

Twice, but yes.

Nigger you dumb as hell.

>what is frost blades

>Using Facebreakers just for the Crit Multi

>Frost Blades Facebreaker
Fucking how?

nobody said im using a facebreaker though.

FB = Frost Blades jesus fucking christ

Does anyone actually play HC unironically? Seems like most people that do just play it so they can say they play it.

Guess which came first. Guess which was abbreviated first. Frost Blades is Frost Blades.
You are also literally wearing Facebreaker's in that image.

>guy posts a sword
>guy says he is going to do a fb build with it
>/poeg/ can't into basic logic
>/poeg/ autisticly screeches about how retarded guy is

never change

>leaving out the fact that said guy is wearing a pair of fucking facebreakers.

What is the most retarded build you ever brought to endgame /poeg/? How far did you get?

kripparian here

...

That said, the answer to your question was actually Attack Speed.

are you lvl 7?

>It's an Alkaizer makes fun of Kripp episode.

>people whine about shaped meta to get strand nerfed
>now whining about vaults and sextants

will these people not be happy until we're forced to run fucking torture chambers and crematoriums? well fuck that I won't do it. When you play for extended periods of time, running anything that isn't a simple layout drives you fucking insane.

t. done full atlas once before and refuse to ever again

Is Death's Oath any good? Whenever I check it in PoB the damage seems always terrible, even with the Arcane Surge trick

I bet 99% of the people in that plebbit thread don't even have a character over 90.

They're trying to push this "You should be rewarded for full atlas completion" meme, because I know the cucks at ggg are going to give them what they want.

what's the most braindead selfcast build

What about allowing people to carefully construct their atlas AND people get benefits for completing it? That way there are multiple viable ways to play?

I hope everyone loves running story bosses, with 10min long invulnerable transition phases!
YASSS REDDDIT SLAY

they can remove sextant blocking, i dont care. as long as they dont fuck up shaped maps like they did with strand im ok with it.

playing all the maps just fucking sucks.
i dont want to run docks an deal with shitty labyrinth traps before the dumb boss.
i dont want to run cells and spend more than half my time backtracking through the godawful layout.
i dont want to run malformation and get mad at how fucking trash it is.

i want to pick a map i like, shape it, and farm it for the rest of the league. in breach it was strand, in legacy it was arachnid tomb, in harbinger it was racecourse. now i still havent decided, but it will probably be atoll.

protip: that is already the case, and has been for all the past leagues since the atlas came out.

I have a level 93 and a level 91 so far this league. I also have 156/157 on the atlas. Min-Maxing your atlas is one of the highest forms of autism in this game. I just alch em, run em, and repeat.

Your inefficiency is why you're only lvl 93 and not 100, 6 months into the current league, faggot.
You apparently have 16 hours a day to play, what's your excuse for not minmaxing, Too much anime/soy to consume?

Why do corpse detonations do so much fucking damage?

because something has to

>Your inefficiency is why you're only lvl 93 and not 100

I guess. I normally stop trying to level after 93 considering it just becomes a burden.

>You apparently have 16 hours a day to play

On the weekends I sure do.

> what's your excuse for not minmaxing,

It's tedious, annoying, and overwhelmingly unenjoyable to manage.

>Too much anime/soy to consume?

That's some extreme projecting there user.

Alch & Go™

RIP. All those missed rewards.

Imagine sharing the same opinions as reddit, lmao.

They are also against mirror tier gear since someone else cant have that much currency.
They are trying to push hard nerfs into damage and/or diminishing returns.

are you literally retarded

>Falling for the "Complete Every Map" meme.

Every league, this never gets old.

????????????????????????????????????????????

>Getting upset over soy/cuck/jew referencing.

Why do you idiots keep outing yourselves? Humiliation fetish?

found the soyboy

No, I am just genuinely curious how this meme possibly applies to how people play PoE.

It would be like if I called vaulists amerimutts or muslims. It just doesn't make any sense.

this meme is retarded

i'm reading about a spectre build and there's something about having to travel to raise special spectres? will my spectre character suck until i can reach those high level maps where i can get good spectres or something?

I bet you still didn't sell it, Jew.

People will sell you shaper portals and shit. they are fine from lower tier maps but they are a lot more ayyyyy from higher maps.

I decided to just buy it at full price since he seemed like an ok dude.

at worst you'll have on-level spectres that are still better than half the other things you could be doing

theres like only a couple spectres that are any good
so you will get them somehow and keep them around

am i going to buy one of those shaper portals as a fresh character to get ridiculous summons and then have those forever?

Can't enter map portals till act 10s done, so no.

where do you guys go for the regal orb prophecy

What would be a good budget build for a late league starter?

slayer molten strike

which is more meta? ek nova, spectres or spectral throw

Deaths oath builds are for powerfarming maps with occultist explosions not for bossing

EK Nova is probably most meta.

Spectres are popular and good, but because of the innate nature of how they function they'll never be meta.

I'm probably getting memed on hard but it is tempting.

It's not a meme

What the fuck does minefield quality do? Increase the aoe of the ability?

I'm doing it to level with memesword. It's pretty fun, but I'd like to settle for something that doesnt need 2 jews
