mapping is working out really well for me i have been getting so many returns that i upgraded from running T11/T12/T13/T14 to running T12/T13/T14/T15, and it is STILL going up! at this rate i might have to cut out T12 too and run T13/T14/T15/T16 instead at some point in the future. i have also gotten into the habit of selling my maps for chisels directly instead of alchs or chaos, because i was annoyed at having to stock up on chisels after every major map session
by now i have reached 400/1500 influenced map completion for the challenge. i'm going at a nice and steady rate, will probably hit 1500 by the end of april.
>1500 by the end of april. i hope i can ignore that challenge
Luke Thompson
at least its not 1500 'maps'
Evan Parker
feels the same
Andrew Campbell
Doing fine. Just mapping casually while doing mostly trading/afk. Been sustaining fine. I'd have more high tier maps, but lately I just keep doing my t11-t12s. Just starting doing t13s and some t14s
Luis Adams
Did you keep shaper alive and get Elder down in the unstable phase?
what league are you in? do you want maps? pic related is my map dump tab, they sit there for days until they get vendored up or listed for sale in another tab. if you are in breach sc you can have a bunch of low maps (up to t8) for free if you want
its really not that bad. i got perma elder/shaper on three of the four maps i run, and i put a single sextant as well as zana bloodlines on them too, so i get 3 points per map i run. thats a total of just 500 maps, which really isnt that much over a 3 month league. it works out to less than 10 maps a day, which takes less than an hour of daily playtime to do.
after getting my portal effect i ended up with full tab of red maps including plenty of guardian maps
Landon Gomez
Oh, I thought you could literally only kill him then, I've never had the shaper get injured during the fight.
I know I just got unlucky, I just wanted to shitpost. I can't play PoE right now because Comcast is doing work on the lines in my neighborhood and my internet keeps going in and out

>if you are in breach sc meant bestiary sc of course lmao
Jaxson Myers
>do you want maps? sure why not Niluch , beast sc clearty
Jose Morales
>elemental damage with attacks >spell damage n-nanda to? its a wander?
it still works with ghost reaver, I mean I have a ES melee build and it works just the same
Easton Cook
>doesn't use warp with reduced duration, swift affliction and faster casting while running on quicksilver flasks lmao
Wyatt Nelson
>while running on quicksilver flasks whats the point then, just run on flask and save yourself a 4l. I use Phase run + inc. duration and quicksilver, perfectly fine and good to go through shit, just like LW
Carter Morgan
hm so they undid that 3.0 change? well back then it was still instant leech, and they explicitly made it not work with ES because blue life insant leech was so insane.
My friends just look for excuses not to play PoE. They either end up pushing near 200 hours every 2 weeks during a sreason or not playing fucking anything and just complaining.
Block above 75% is overrated, you want protection from one-shots and degen ground effects instead of a meme block chance.
Levi Butler
last digit decides how many 20/20 gems i vaal
Leo Davis
I guess I don't have a very good grasp of defense mechanics. Could somebody walk me through this? If I have cold res capped at 75%, which should be easy with this, then 75% of 20% of my phys damage is also resisted? For 15%? That's pretty good, right? Same sort of deal for fire res if that's not completely capped itself?
>you want protection degen ground effects you gonna stack fucking chaos res and fire res cap? lmao
Benjamin Rivera
you gonna get life/es and regen you fucking pleb

"damage taken as" works like this
>get hit with 1000 phys damage hit >take 800 phys damage and 200 cold damage >the 800 phys is then reduced by your armor and other sources of phys reduction >the 200 cold is reduced by your cold res
in general, "physical damage taken as elemental damage" is great because the vast majority of builds have a lot higher elemental resistance than physical damage reduction
Colton Collins
I dont get it, no matte what do you run lab you getl ike 20+ gem boxes.
It's very strong defensively because elemental resistances are almost always capped out to 75% while most people don't even have physical damage reduction. So from 20% of physical taken as cold you essentially take 0,2 * 0,75 = 0,15 less physical damage. However, the body armour is not really used because it gives no life.
Chances are you will lose money doing this. It's like the people that spammed shit skulls trying to get head hunters. The vast majority of the time you lose money due to the weighted rng. The people that do make a profit are extremely lucky. Fuck it i'll gladly sell all my shit skulls when I log in this evening and they triple in price.
